"What? You have superpowers now?"
Bai He let out an exclamation. Was the plot going to start this quickly? He wasn't ready yet!
"Oh dear! Old Bai, Brother Bai, keep your voice down!"
Ge Xiaolun cautiously looked around, making sure no one noticed him, before patting his chest in relief.
"This kind of thing, you need to be careful about, don't spread it around. If anyone pays attention, your Lun Ge might get snatched away to be sliced and diced!"
As if he'd thought of something, Ge Xiaolun's robust frame couldn't help but shiver.
"But… Lun Ge, what is your superpower?"
Bai He asked with a face full of "confusion."
Even though he knew the person in front of him was Ge Xiaolun, who possessed the Galaxy Power and ranked among the top in the super gene owners, Bai He couldn't help but want to tease him a little.
"My superpower? Hmm… I can tell people to be silent!"
Ge Xiaolun lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said solemnly.
"Silence? What kind of superpower is that? Who doesn't know how to shout? Haha!"
"Hey! Old Bai, you don't believe me? Fine! I'll prove it to you right now!"
Seeing Bai He laughing heartily, with an expression of disbelief, Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but get a little impatient. He took a lighter out of his pocket.
"Come on! Watch carefully."
Ge Xiaolun lit the lighter, took a deep breath, and then suddenly shouted, "Silence!"
The faint flame immediately went out.
"Lun Ge, that doesn't prove anything! Watch this!"
Bai He couldn't help but burst out laughing, snatching the lighter from Ge Xiaolun's hand and lighting it.
Then, watching the small flame rise, he imitated Ge Xiaolun and shouted, "Silence!"
And while shouting "Silence", he didn't forget to exhale.
The small flame flickered and then went out as well.
"See, Lun Ge, I can do it too."
Bai He patted Ge Xiaolun's shoulder and chuckled.
"Old Bai, don't be skeptical, your Lun Ge will definitely prove it to you!"
Ge Xiaolun snatched the lighter back from Bai He, stuffed it into his pocket, and mumbled angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait."
Bai He responded cheerfully.
"No need to wait, your Lun Ge will prove it to you right now, I, Ge Xiaolun! am not a liar!"
Ge Xiaolun scribbled on a notebook on the table, as if performing some solemn ritual, while speaking in a serious tone.
Taking a deep breath, Ge Xiaolun brewed for a moment.
Then, he suddenly turned his head and shouted at a classmate who was playfully standing on a desk, "Silence!"
The rebellious teenager, who was swaying his body and dissing others at his desk, suddenly stiffened, lost his footing, and fell face-first off the desk.
"Silence!"
A reprimand.
The female teacher, who was writing class notes on the blackboard, suddenly felt her body go numb and collapsed onto the blackboard.
"Silence!"
Another reprimand.
Accompanied by a burst of static, the loudspeaker broadcasting in the schoolyard suddenly started smoking and then fell silent.
… … … …
"Ge Xiaolun! This is a classroom, not a place for you to make loud noises. If you want to make noise, please go outside."
On the platform, the female teacher said coldly, wiping chalk dust off her face with a handkerchief and adjusting her glasses.
"Oh…"
Ge Xiaolun immediately backed down, quickly closing his mouth and then adjusting his posture to sit up straight.
… … … …
"Ring, ring, ring…"
It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and with a crisp ring, school was dismissed.
Bai He and Ge Xiaolun left school together, walking side by side, planning to head to Snack Street for some skewers.
Snack Street was located east of Longteng Middle School. Because almost every restaurant had a signature dish of spicy crayfish, it was also known as Lobster Street.
"Old Bai, let me tell you, I know a place where the skewers and crayfish are incredibly delicious. I'll take you to try it."
Ge Xiaolun walked along, shaking his head and gesticulating wildly with his hands.
If it weren't for the occasional transparent drool escaping his mouth, Bai He might have actually believed him!
He turned left and right along the way, finally stopping with Bai He at a place called Xi Shi BBQ.
"Come on, let's go inside."
Ge Xiaolun waved his hand, leading Bai He inside.
"Oh! Isn't this Xiao Lun? How do you have time to come to my Lan Jie's place for BBQ?"
Seeing Ge Xiaolun enter, a woman wearing a purple apron and possessing a charming appearance immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Lan Jie, I brought my friend here to enjoy some skewers, here, this is my best friend, Bai He!"
Ge Xiaolun scratched his head, suddenly realizing he didn't quite know what to say, so he pulled Bai He forward as a shield.
"Lan Jie, hello! My name is Bai He."
Seeing that he had been pulled forward, Bai He smiled politely and introduced himself to Lan Jie.
"Since you're Xiao Lun's friend, this round is on me! I also want to thank Xiao Lun for helping me chase away the hooligans back then, otherwise, as a weak woman, I might have suffered a great loss!"
As she spoke, Lan Jie patted her chest with lingering fear, completely unaware that the waves before her were nearly causing someone's eyes to pop out.
"Hey! Snap out of it! Your eyeballs are about to fall out…."
Seeing a certain someone beside him nearly bulging his eyes out, Bai He immediately gave him an elbow jab and quietly reminded him.
"No need, no need! Seeing injustice, drawing your sword to help, that's what we big men should do, where is any gratitude needed? Those hooligans, they got off easy, next time I see them causing trouble, I'll beat them up again!"
Ge Xiaolun quickly wiped the drool that was about to escape his mouth after being nudged back to normal by Bai He's elbow.
He quickly waved his hand to refuse while spouting tough talk.
"Oh dear! You two, don't refuse! As your Lan Jie, I'm treating this time! Come, Yang Zi! Bring two large bottles of Water Drop Beer, and a portion of spicy crayfish and two plates of skewers."
Lan Jie firmly rejected Ge Xiaolun and Bai He's refusals, directly placing her hands on her hips and loudly calling for the waiter to serve the dishes, displaying the air of a heroic woman!
And after finishing her call, Lan Jie didn't forget to smile sweetly at the two of them and say, "If it's not enough, you can order more!"
Bai He and Ge Xiaolun, looking at the already served wine and dishes on the table, could only reluctantly sit down.
Lan Jie watched the two of them sit down, nodded with satisfaction, then twisted her slender waist and went to attend to other matters, leaving only a lingering fragrance in the air.
"Come on, eat, eat."
The two of them sat down and began to eat skewers and drink while chatting and joking.
After finishing half a bottle of Water Drop Beer, Bai He felt alright, similar to Snowflake, but Ge Xiaolun opposite him already had a flushed face and a slightly slurred tongue.
While eating, Ge Xiaolun began to boast about his heroic rescue of a beauty in the past.
"A few days ago, your brother Lun suddenly discovered that he had a superpower, thinking that with great power comes great responsibility, so I resolutely decided to go out and do good deeds.
"I went for a stroll and, in a small alley, I saw a few hooligans trying to harass Lan Jie. You tell me, as a man, could your brother Lun tolerate that? Hic…."
Ge Xiaolun hiccuped.
"So, your brother Lun immediately went over and shouted at them, 'Silence!' Hehe! That scum leading them was almost choked by your brother Lun's shout.
"I quickly ran over and rescued Lan Jie. That scum, enraged, blocked your brother Lun in the alley with his goons.
"But could your brother Lun just kneel down and admit defeat? No! Your brother Lun immediately rushed forward to fight them."
"Who knew that the scum was insidious and used a hidden weapon, picking up a brick from the ground and hitting your brother Lun in the face, turning your brother Lun's handsome face into a pig's head, okay?"
"But your brother Lun isn't an ordinary person, I have superpowers! I immediately channeled my energy and shouted, causing those scums to wobble around.
"I rushed forward and knocked them all down. If the police hadn't arrived, humph! I would have beaten them to death, hic…."
Ge Xiaolun rambled on while hiccuping, wildly slapping the table.
The table shook and creaked under the strain, and Bai He secretly sweated for it.
"Hehe, impressive, impressive!"
Bai He smiled and applauded superficially, but in his heart he was cursing, thinking he should never drink with Ge Xiaolun again.
He looked so strong, but his alcohol tolerance was even lower than his! He was already getting drunk and rowdy.
But if he guessed correctly, the "scum" Ge Xiaolun mentioned so smoothly should be Liu Chuang.
However, regarding the claim of beating Liu Chuang to the ground, and the threat of beating him to death if the police hadn't arrived, Bai He didn't believe a word of it.
"Hic! Old Bai, don't you believe me, when your brother Lun meets that scum again, you'll see if I don't beat him to death, you'll know if I'm telling the truth, hic…."
Listening to Ge Xiaolun's drunken boasting, sounding as if it were true, Bai He broke out in a cold sweat.
He did believe Ge Xiaolun would have shouted at injustice, but who would beat whom was questionable….
"But why do I always have a bad feeling?"
Bai He frowned slightly.
Just as Bai He was searching for the source of his uneasiness, a woman's scream suddenly came from a small alley across from the restaurant.
"Help! Ah!!"
