Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 273 Chaos
"Is there a possibility that I like you too?"

Gongsun Ce froze in place as if petrified, not even moving his eyeballs.Qi Luo sat back on the stool, patted her reddened cheeks: "There's no need...to be so shocked?"

Gongsun Ce seems to have completely isolated himself from the interaction with the outside world, like a statue that has been washed by wind and rain for a hundred years.That gesture was more worrying than funny.

Qi Luo thought of a word that could wake him up immediately.

Miss Idol nodded her lips, and said a little shyly, "Do you want me to kiss you as proof?"

"—No no no no no no no no!"

The gray-white stone sculpture instantly transformed into a distressed young man.Gongsun Ce clutched his chest and collapsed on the chair, panting for a while, before he said in disbelief: "How is it possible?!"

"Are you saying that I like you?"

"It doesn't make sense!"

Gongsun Ce was almost going crazy. He racked his brains to think about the past when he got along with his friends, and said in great confusion: "Qiluo, listen to me, I have always paid attention not to let myself become the vile person like Aurus. The man I'm with is trying to keep a distance, at most it's just a little help within the scope of my ability. I never wanted to take advantage of your emotions, so why would you say such a thing?!"

Qi Luo stared at him silently for a while, and said with a surprisingly helpless emotion.

"Gongsun Ce, didn't you tell the reason yourself?"

"Ah?" Gongsun Ce felt a headache, "How could it be?!"

"A boy with the same interests as me treats me very well without any consideration of interests. Then why can't I like him?" Qi Luo said seriously.

Gongsun Ce tried his best to find a reason to rebut: "First of all, I am ordinary-"

"It's compared with Shi Yulian, but by the standards of ordinary people, Gongsun Ce's appearance is very correct."

Gongsun Ce immediately changed the angle: "I'm not very smart!"

"I've never seen anyone smarter than Gongsun Ce." Qi Luo said blankly.

"I, I, we haven't known each other for a long time!"

"Shigure Zero met you only 13 days earlier than me~"

Speaking of this, Miss Idol added a little shyly: "And... Actually, I have been paying attention to Gongsun Ce since a long time ago."

Gongsun Ce instantly remembered the scene in the dream, the girl was watching TV with the busy adults, her eyes were full of anticipation and surprise.That look was like a fan staring at a singer, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Gongsun Ce stated the known facts in a speculative tone: "It's difficult, it's difficult, it was that time three years ago..."

"Hmm! Gongsun Ce, who defeated so many powerful enemies, is shining like the protagonist in the animation!" Qi Luo said happily.

Shouldn't it be a bridge where everyone complained about the childish speech before!Why do you look like you have succeeded in chasing stars? !
With your attitude, Mr. Gongsun, how can I say "Looking back at that time, it was too much in the second grade"!

"When the memory came back to me, I was a little happy." Qi Luo said happily, "I didn't expect to be saved by Mr. Demon! That's it."

do not talk!If this continues, Mr. Gongsun, I really can't find any reason to object!

Hurry up, hurry up and think about it, Gongsun Ce, think about it quickly, what else is there to start with...!
"By the way! Qiluo, you forgot a very important point!" Gongsun Ce had a flash of inspiration, "I'm a disgusting otaku! You also know that late-night animations, doujinshi, and even adult-oriented comics and games Mr. Gongsun, who accepts everything, I am not the one who should be liked from any point of view!"

Qi Luo's expression seemed to be watching the children in the lower grades rolling all over the floor playing tricks.

She grabbed her ponytails, pouted and said, "I'm a house too, Gongsun Ce."

"Gah!"

The gray-haired youth uttered a strange squawk like a duck.

I am speechless, I can't find a reason to refute, if the flaws I think are nothing in Qi Luo's eyes, is it true that she likes me?But, but...

"Calm down and listen to me. I'm not a man worth liking—"

Miss Idol sighed faintly.

"Gongsun Ce, you always like to think things are very complicated. It seems that when you do something, you have to make a long list to convince yourself before you can do it. However, many things are not so complicated in the first place!"

"You never need so many reasons to convince yourself to like someone." Qi Luo smiled slightly, pointing at the gray-haired young man across the table with a fork, "I fell in love with you after the incident we met, it's that simple oh."

Without thinking, almost subconsciously, Gongsun Ce was ready to refuse.

You can't let a good girl like Qi Luo waste time and energy on herself.

There is no doubt that there is a man worthy of her love in this world, but that man must not be herself.

After this idea appeared, Gongsun Ce felt that the entangled feelings in his heart were much more refreshed.Why bother?He reflected deeply on himself.In the short half day after waking up from the dream, he even thought about the issue of love, but this was originally something out of the norm for Gongsun Ce.

My friends were all wrong.The crux of the problem is not whether she or she likes himself, let alone whether he likes others, but that he, who only brings misfortune, has never been qualified to be loved.

In this way, the conclusion is very simple.Gongsun Ce must reject Qi Luo's kindness, and after that, he must also make it clear to the eldest lady that he must maintain the current distance, be a reliable good friend, and never establish a dangerous relationship for his own selfishness.

Prepared to hurt others, or even break up the relationship, Gongsun Ce was ready to say his answer: "I—"

"This is not a formal confession~" Qi Luo waved her hand, "So please don't reply me in the current state, okay?"

"……Oh."

Like a balloon that has been punctured, the newly prepared awareness floated out of his mouth.

Gongsun Ce choked back the words that had reached his throat.

"I always feel that Gongsun Ce in this state will make a speech that even he regrets." Qi Luo puffed up her cheeks, "This is a girl's intuition, intuition."

Gongsun Ce felt his heart twist like a knot again.He lowered his head in embarrassment and ate the macaroni. He waited until the plate was almost cleared before saying, "Why..."

"You want to tell Gongsun Ce about this?"

"Ah."

Qi Luo covered her face with her hands, and said shyly, "As soon as my head gets hot..."

"A hothead?!"

"When I heard Gongsun Ce ask that question, I thought. Ah, he is finally about to change. If he doesn't say it at this time, maybe he won't have the chance and courage to say it in his life."

Qi Luo's cheeks were flushed, it looked... no, it didn't look like it.

Gongsun Ce noticed that she was really a girl in love.

"I know too. A big-breasted girl like me who appeared later, and a new character who doesn't have much deep memory, is often a supporting role that will fail in a romantic comedy. Even if you express your heart before everyone else, it is doomed The cannonball that opens the heart of the wooden hero, crumbles to pieces with a loud crash, and becomes a stepping stone to other, more attractive female characters."

Kiro stirred the little salad left with a fork, staring at the plate and muttering to herself.

"Just stopping in place like this, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, maybe it's the best choice for everyone. But when I heard Gongsun Ce's question, I realized that whether it's you or me, everyone will follow suit. changed over time."

"The characters in a romantic comedy can still maintain a stable relationship after tens or hundreds of episodes of a unit drama, because they can continue to move on endlessly, and don't make changes until the story is about to turn. But the reality We are different in the movie, we will always be different from yesterday’s self, in this way, the relationship between us will also change one day!”

Gongsun Ce said sullenly: "...just keep a distance and protect the relationship you have established."

"That also means never moving forward, Gongsun Ce." Qi Luo smiled softly, "Youth love comedy will always end. No matter whether the result is sweet or bitter, people always have to go through this period Only by doing this can we start the next stage of our life.”

"Even you have started to change, so I have to keep up. I am a naive and self-willed girl. If I keep burying my heart in my heart, I will definitely feel very regretful. Compared with that kind of sadness I would rather confess my love directly! Whether it is accepted or rejected, it is all obtained through my own hard work, and it will never make me regret the ending!"

Speechless.

Regarding her own life and her relationship, Qi Luo thinks far more deeply than this abnormal person.Although pinching him with a love comedy or something, this girl's heart is serious.

For some reason, Gongsun Ce, who had made up his mind to refuse a few minutes ago, felt something was wrong again.The knot in my heart has been twisted to the other side, and if I just refuse for my own sake, it seems like a mean escape...

It's like a coward who dare not even face a person's heart.

Gongsun Ce took off his glasses, closed his eyes and said.

"Qiluo, I'm sorry. I don't have the strength to give you an answer right now. This is not an escape, and it is definitely not a tactic to delay time. Can I give you an answer after I solve my own problems?"

"No problem~" Qi Luo said cheerfully, "I'll come to Gongsun Ce to make a formal confession at that time!"

There is one more agreement on him.Gongsun Ce smiled wryly, paying his respects to his friend's courage.

"Although you have been talking about supporting roles and cannon fodder, I think you are more charming tonight than ever before."

"Really?" Miss Idol said shyly, "I'm so happy!"

·
After the supper time was over, Gongsun Ce, who considered the so-called "disappearance incident", personally sent Qi Luo back downstairs to her house.

Before leaving, Miss Idol said, "Don't worry, I will talk to Qin Qianbai about this." The ambiguous tone of her tone made the gray-haired young man shiver, and even the fear in his heart was vaguely awakened.

...What will the lady think after hearing this?

Qi Luo herself must be safe, and the eldest lady will never do anything to her friends.However, what will happen to the person who is unfortunately caught in the middle?When I woke up the next morning, I found that my limbs were missing, and when I looked up, I saw the eldest lady standing by the bedside with a knife. This kind of unbelievable scene at first glance was not as real as imagined.

Will die, he will definitely die!

With such weird thoughts in mind, after returning home, Gongsun Ce turned his desk from the inside out, wanting to see if the Dawn Knight had replied to him in this month.But strangely, he didn't find anything resembling a letter anywhere.Could it be that Elandia is so busy recently that she doesn't even have time to reply to his letter?
The only new thing was a CD with a strange cover, which was given to him by that weird rock musician... He had no desire to listen to it at all, so he simply threw it back into the drawer.

Gongsun Ce fell heavily on the bed and closed his eyes.The series of events since he woke up made him feel dizzy, and his body seemed to be split in two from the inside.

In the dream, Gongsun Ce is invincible and can use his super power to defeat one enemy after another.Sometimes, however, invincible telekinetic power is of no help.Shi Yu-jun's mantra balance is still ridiculously strong, and when he fails in a date, doesn't he also collapse like a stone.

"……Ugh!"

With the idea of ​​venting his anger and escaping from reality, Gongsun Ce began to use his mind to play with his mobile phone.He clicked on his mailbox like every time he was bored or depressed.

Gongsun Ce rarely checks his mailbox, because none of his friends like to use email. Every time he opens it, he sees some advertising emails or scam messages. This app is really nothing for him except to pass the time significance.

Hey.

The phone in vibrate mode vibrated. Today's situation seems a little different. Just a few minutes ago, he received a new untitled email.Gongsun Ce clicked it open.

[April 6. 】

[This is the third day in the State of Fire and Wind, and I watched the characteristic landforms here at close range.The fiery red tornado swept across the desert, and small villages were built on the stone circle floating in the air.Local residents will take advantage of the heat around town for barbecues while fire tornadoes graze over boulders.The taste of the meat skewers is average, the gimmick is bigger than the reality, but it is still an interesting experience. 】

What catches the eye is the idle record like a diary, with a tourist-like leisurely taste between the lines.At the end of the email, a photo was attached. On the bleak wilderness like the west of Yamato Island, there was a fiery red whirlwind that pierced the sky, like a scene of the end of the myth.The black-haired tourist found a good angle to take a selfie. She held her right hand falsely, as if holding the distant fire wind in her palm.

"..."

Gongsun Ce felt that his throat was a little dry, and the phone was still vibrating, and it took a while for it to stop.He closed the new mail and returned to the main interface of the inbox.The red dots marking unread are densely packed, and a whole column is full of unknown emails without titles.

[June 6th.Spent a boring night in the Acid Valley State, the acid rocks were walking around outside town, they were so noisy so they killed them all. 】

[June 6th.Eat a seafood platter in the state of the blue sea.The most satisfying meal I have had since coming to Hezhong, and the beer is especially good. 】

[June 6th.I found a cute pet near Wave City...]

The sending time of the email is irregular, and the mood of the sender can be seen from it.When she was having fun, she could send three or four emails a day, excitedly telling her stories like a child; This stop didn't quite satisfy her.As for the content, there is no commonality at all, and they go their own way to the extreme.Occasionally there is only one sentence, and it is done in a hurry; occasionally a long paragraph of text is attached with photos, like a review on a travel website.

Gongsun Ce flipped through the emails one by one, and vaguely saw that free woman running around in a foreign land, living her life with unprecedented joy.Finally he saw the first one, which was sent more than a month ago. The first half is someone's food travel diary, and the second half is a prank-like conclusion.

[I remember that you rarely read emails, so I will start sending you anonymous travel emails from today.If you didn’t say hello in advance, when will you find out, and what kind of expression you will make after you find out, big sister, I’m very curious~]

Gongsun Ce took off his glasses and covered his eyes.

"...How can there be such a prank! Are you a high school girl!"

It stands to reason that the reply should be in the form of email.But before the brain made a judgment, the body had already started to move.Before investigating the time difference and time zone, he dialed Shigure Rei's phone number.

I have never been so anxiously waiting for the phone to connect, the ringtone is like a cat's paw scratching my heart.Finally, someone picked up the phone——

"Ah, what's the matter, bad brat?" Shigure Rei said leisurely.

Gongsun Ce clutched his chest hard, and shouted in great confusion.

"I'm going to fall in love with you!"

"—Hey hey hey hey hey?!"

A familiar scream came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of gurgling water.Three seconds later, he heard an exasperated voice from the other side of the earth: "It's all your fault! My phone fell into the water!"

"Aren't you in the Fire and Wind State now? There's actually a lake in that place?"

"I'm taking a bath!"

"Don't answer the phone naked, you woman!!"

The brain imagined the scene of someone lying in the bathtub with red cheeks without any effort, and the voice coming from the phone was exactly the same as the auditory hallucination in his brain.

"Stop imagining for me, pervert!"
