Two people were eating porridge when Tong Xin arrived.
"Captain Guo, Yu'er, eating?"
"Mm. Have you eaten? Why don't you join us?" Guo Xuyang beckoned.
"I've eaten. You continue."
"What's up?"
"That..." Tong Xin glanced at Yu'er and remained silent.
"Go ahead. Yu'er is not an outsider."
Seeing Tong Xin hesitate, Yu'er cleared her bowls and chopsticks.
"I'm done. You two talk. I'll be going."
"You ate so little? Have some more," Guo Xuyang said.
"No more. I've had enough. I'm going to find Sister Xiao Xi."
"Don't go to Xiao Xi. We'll go see Brother Liang later to see if he needs any help?"
"We can't go to Brother Liang's until the afternoon. It's no use going so early.
They drank so much last night, they won't wake up that early."
"Alright then. Be careful on your way."
"I know. Yu'er, you two chat. I'm leaving."
"Yu'er, sorry about this."
"It's nothing. You two talk." Yu'er said, then got up, took her bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and drove away.
"What couldn't be said in front of Yu'er?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"That, me and Li Minyu..."
"Hm? What happened?"
"She and I have a relationship that goes beyond ordinary friends."
"Oh, how so?"
"It wasn't intentional."
"Mm."
"I know I did wrong, and I came specifically to apologize to you."
"Hm? Why apologize?"
"I used a little trick on Li Minyu at the time. That's how things happened."
"Mm. Does Li Minyu know?"
"I didn't dare tell her. I was afraid she'd hit me."
"I heard you escaped alone during a mission? What happened?"
"I don't know. We encountered a monster that destroyed our spaceship.
Only I managed to hide in the escape pod; no one else had time."
"What's your superpower?"
"To glimpse into people's hearts and ignite it."
"Explain."
"I can ignite the evil or good in someone, causing them to act on it unconsciously."
"You must have other superpowers, right?"
"Perception, Storage."
"So you're saying you used your superpower to trigger Li Minyu's thoughts and make her act on them, which is how your 'beyond friendship' relationship happened?"
"Yes."
"You were dominant or was she?"
"She was."
"Has anyone else had this kind of relationship with you?"
"I can't recall."
"Tell me the truth."
"I really can't remember. Every time I use this power and finish, I lose my memory for a while.
I don't know why it's like this."
"Then how do you remember these events with Li Minyu?"
"It was just a brief encounter, and she was the one who initiated it, so I barely used my power."
"You mean she already had feelings for you?"
"You could say that.
When she called me out that time, I felt she was interested in me. Later, at the hotel, things just naturally progressed into that 'beyond friendship' relationship."
"What happened next?"
"Later, I realized she was showing abnormalities, so I didn't dare do it again."
"What's this about you and her following me?"
"Huh?" Tong Xin's mouth fell open.
"Don't tell me that didn't happen."
"This, this was because I was afraid you wouldn't go to Kyoto, so I waited for you here."
"What's going on with you and Li Minyu?"
"Nothing. We're not together. We were just waiting for you."
"Tong Xin, I brought you to outer space with my own intentions.
First, I wanted to see your strength, which was quite disappointing.
You're similar to Da Hai, sleeping most of the way.
Second, I wanted to see what your superpower actually was. Compared to Ye Zi and Yu'er, you're still far behind.
However, it's not entirely hopeless that you've come to admit your mistakes today.
I cannot tolerate any discord in my team, especially those with ill intentions."
"Captain Guo, you know I'm in charge of assessing personnel with superpowers. I've seen many, but none can compare to you.
I know I did wrong. I didn't expect Li Minyu to be carrying your child, which is why I came to apologize.
I originally wanted to tell you before we left, but I was afraid it would affect your mood and prevent me from participating, so I didn't dare say anything..."
"If you have any other thoughts, let's hear them," Guo Xuyang interrupted.
"I want to marry you."
Tong Xin's words stunned Guo Xuyang. He looked at her as if he hadn't heard correctly.
"What did you say?"
"I want to marry you. I want to marry you."
"Are you feverish?" Guo Xuyang was still in disbelief.
"Captain Guo, I'm perfectly lucid.
I know I might not be worthy of you, but I've been deeply attracted to you since the first time I met you.
I know if I don't say it now, I won't have another chance."
"You know I have many women. Why would you get involved in this mess?"
"Captain Guo, ever since I saw you display your superpowers, my heart has been entirely yours.
That's why I wanted to get closer to Li Minyu, to visit her home, to see you," Tong Xin said hastily.
"I know I couldn't get your attention, so I used Li Minyu."
"How did you know I had a relationship with Li Minyu?"
"I didn't know you had a relationship with Li Minyu.
I heard from Li Minyu that you were planning to go to her house to propose to Li Min Xi, so I sought out Li Minyu."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true. May lightning strike me if I lie.
The 'beyond friendship' relationship between Li Minyu and me happened two days before you went to Kyoto."
"You're too calculating. You're not my type. You may leave. Let's pretend today's conversation never happened."
"Captain Guo, I know your heart isn't here. I can accompany you to the outside world, to roam space."
"Your abilities are too limited, even less than Ye Zi or Yu'er."
"My abilities can be upgraded. I have another ability: I can copy."
"What do you mean?"
"If I have a relationship with you, I can possess all your superpowers.
As long as you have a relationship with me, you can also possess this superpower.
Of course, the prerequisite is that I must be willing to have a relationship with you."
Guo Xuyang was shocked by Tong Xin's words. This superpower was too heaven-defying.
If he possessed this ability, wouldn't all his women be able to have his superpowers?
"Is what you're saying true?" Guo Xuyang asked, staring intently at Tong Xin.
"I wouldn't dare lie to you."
"So, your superpower is essentially the power of replication, and other powers are copied from others?"
"Mm, a few are copied from others," Tong Xin replied.
Hearing Tong Xin say this, Guo Xuyang knew that the men she had slept with were more than one.
