A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 257 The Superpower to See Other People's Secrets
Monday, waking up.
Chen Yuan heard a series of "woof, woof" sounds, coming from Yuzi.
And then, his mood improved slightly.
After the superpower reset, he no longer had to hear Yuzi talking like a human.
Although this ability was interesting, think about it, having a creature at home that could speak human language, seeing everything you do, and evaluating it with animalistic thinking, could you be comfortable?
With Yuzi around, Chen Yuan couldn't even freely derive... derivatives, derive units.
However, to test the extent of his ability's weakening, he still tried to listen.
Then he discovered that he possessed an active translation software, capable of simultaneously translating the sounds of all creatures into Mandarin.
Indeed, this was a very awesome ability.
And because it could be activated proactively, it was actually enhanced.
After all, before the nerf, when he was learning English, he faced some trouble—Shirley Liu's class became entirely in Chinese, making it impossible to learn.
But what would this week's ability be?
Chen Yuan didn't think much, got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and combed his hair.
This week's tasks were manageable, not too heavy.
After going to school today, he would see the rankings of the entire school, as well as the rankings of the seven schools.
The school would also, based on past results, namely the previous year's cutoff scores, draw a benchmark for first-tier universities, as well as cutoff scores for some important universities.
This definitely wouldn't be very accurate, but it would still be very informative.
It was equivalent to creating a statistical model for these seven schools, assuming that the seven schools collectively had ten students admitted to Hua Qing University and ten to Ji University, then the twentieth student would be on the cutoff line for these two schools.
Of course, this ignored the schools' own improvement or decline factors, as well as the subjective intentions of some students when filling out their application choices, but it could still provide students with some motivation.
After all, it could give everyone a goal, to see how far they were from their desired dream university.
Chen Yuan's score should be enough to get him into Shanghai Dong University.
In fact, if Chen Yuan got into this school, it would be like his ancestral grave was emitting auspicious smoke, making him the pride of the entire family.
But he liked to keep things secret, not wanting Madam Yang Junlian to overreact, so he didn't mention that his exam paper had been changed in advance.
Because if he said that, according to Madam Yang Junlian's domineering personality, she would probably send gifts to He Hongtao.
It could only be said that Chen Yuan didn't want his pure friendship with He Bao to be tainted with the colors of mercantilism.
Just platonic love between teacher and student.
After getting ready, Chen Yuan prepared to go out. Just then, Yuzi pounced over.
Chen Yuan didn't dodge.
After all, after listening to its thoughts, he also knew how much this dog loved him.
"Come here, Daddy will pet you."
Chen Yuan smiled as he stroked Yuzi's head.
Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind.
Was it another superpower related to vision?
As he thought this, the image in his mind began to play. Yuzi stuck its head into the trash can,叼 (diāo, pick up with the mouth)ed out a big bone. Then, it opened its dog bed, put the bone inside. Next, it used the dog bed to press it down, hiding it well.
Even after Chen Yuan let go, not touching Yuzi, the image continued.
In the image, Yuzi often took out this big bone to gnaw on. Then, before he came back, it would hide it in advance, placing it under the dog bed.
Wait, was this a memory of something that happened?
Then wasn't this no different from seeing the history of an object?
Thinking this, Chen Yuan walked to the dog bed. Suddenly, he squatted down.
"Woof, woof, woof!" At this moment, Yuzi began to bark wildly.
So, Chen Yuan activated the Mandarin translation.
"Come here! Look at me, I can spin!"
"I'm a super spinning dog!"
"Go out! You should go out, Mom is still waiting!"
"Don't touch! Don't touch it!"
When Chen Yuan reached out to touch the dog bed, Yuzi suddenly put its paw on his arm, trying to stop him. And, it whispered plaintively, "Don't, woo woo~"
"Get out of here."
Chen Yuan didn't care, immediately lifted the cushion on the dog bed and put it aside.
Then, he lifted the dog bed.
He saw underneath, hidden was a big bone that had not even a sliver of meat left, that had been gnawed to reveal the red marrow, and had become dried up: "Yuzi, do you want to cause maggots to grow in the house?"
"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away! Please, please, please!"
Yuzi quickly bowed to Chen Yuan, begging for mercy frantically, its eyes as clear as Ding Zhen's.
A sly little dog.
"I'll stew bones for you again tomorrow, is it okay to throw this one away?" Chen Yuan picked up the bone and asked.
"Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away~" Yuzi didn't understand, putting its paws on Chen Yuan's legs, its eyes full of pitiful weakness.
"Alright, alright, alright, you can gnaw on it for now, once I stew the promised bones for you, this thing will be thrown away, okay?" Chen Yuan said as such.
Seeing Chen Yuan put the dog bone back under the dog bed, Yuzi became happy again and began to spin around in place non-stop, very happily.
Chen Yuan didn't continue to bother with it, washed his hands, and went out.
At this moment, Xia Xinyu was already waiting at the door.
So, this ability was that by touching the other person, he could see a certain scene?
So, Chen Yuan held out a hand, palm up.
Seeing this, Xia Xinyu smiled sweetly and put her hand on top of his, interlocking fingers with Chen Yuan, and then happily held hands going down the stairs.
Eh?
Nothing?
It was strange, this time when he touched Xia Xinyu, and it wasn't even a body touch, it was direct skin contact, the scene that should have appeared didn't appear.
What exactly was the problem?
Could it be that he could only see the scenes of animals?
That's not right, this superpower shouldn't be such an inconvenient thing.
Since in the translation, he could encompass all living beings, including ants, then the strength of this superpower shouldn't be this low.
Think again, what was the difference between when I touched Yuzi and now?
After recalling, Chen Yuan suddenly realized that there was indeed a difference.
What he touched earlier was the dog's head.
So, Chen Yuan used his other hand to touch Yu Zi's head.
"Eek?" Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan with a confused expression, not understanding why he suddenly made this movement.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to touch our Xinyu's head."
Although Chen Yuan said this, the scene in his mind completely diverted his attention.
In the apartment, Xia Xinyu suddenly went to the bathroom, filled a basin with hot water, then sat on a small stool, took off her socks, and put two smooth, white, flawless, delicate feet, with jade-like insteps, into the hot water and began to soak them.
And she even put soap on her feet, using her hands to massage and rub, especially focused and serious.
Aiya, call me for washing feet!
I'm an old technician.
But what exactly was this scene trying to show?
Next, after Yu Zi washed her feet, she dried them with a towel, wiping off every last drop of water, then went to a small drawer in the wardrobe, took out a ball of clean, soft white socks, and even smelled them with her nose, and after finding that there were no problems, put them on.
After finishing these things, she went to open the door.
At this time, Chen Yuan entered the apartment.
Eh?
Wasn't this the scene from last night when he finished his homework and wanted to play games with Yu Zi for a while?
At that time, Xia Xinyu had sent him a message saying to wait a bit, there was a small matter, so Chen Yuan waited for a few minutes.
So it turned out she was washing her feet and changing her socks.
Then, in the scene, Chen Yuan sat on the chair in front of Yu Zi's desk, opened Timi, and asked Xia Xinyu to put her feet on his lap while playing.
Chen Yuan remembered very clearly that Xia Xinyu said, "Don't, you'll keep touching them."
Chen Yuan said he promised not to touch them randomly, just putting them there, there would be a sense of quiet beauty.
Then, he touched them to his heart's content while playing the game.
He even, before leaving the room, held her little feet wearing socks, and kissed the instep lightly.
No wonder it was so fragrant!
So she specially washed her feet before seeing me!
Wait, then when I asked why your little feet were so fragrant, if it was Xinyu's special body fragrance, why didn't you say anything?
Understood.
I understand everything.
Xia Xinyu not only accepted him with certain fetishes, but even specially cooperated with her tsundere personality, even though she said it was a bit perverted, she still gave him the best experience every time.
Or rather, she was afraid of him getting a fungal infection in his lungs.
Xinyu, really.
Didn't she know the beauty of the original flavor of the jiojio?
"Oh... is that so." Xia Xinyu, whose head was being touched, didn't ask much.
Then, Chen Yuan moved his nose closer and lightly sniffed before saying, "Xinyu's neck is also fragrant, is it a special body fragrance?"
This sentence was the same as what he said last night.
"..." Xia Xinyu visibly froze for a moment, then uncooperatively replied, "I don't know."
[Why did he suddenly say yesterday's words again...]
[Could it be that he discovered my secret of washing my feet and changing my socks every time before I see him?]
Secret!
After listening to her thoughts, Chen Yuan finally realized what his superpower was.
Trigger condition: head touch.
Ability: to see other people's secrets.
Yuzi's secret was to hide a bone that would definitely be thrown away by him under the dog bed, and Yu Zi's secret was that while she said that Yuan Bao was a pervert, she actually worked hard to cooperate with his perverted games, and was quite proud of the fact in her heart.
Now he understood everything.
Being able to know this thing by touching their heads... I'm Ibiki.
But this thing was quite fun.
If it weren't for it, he wouldn't have known that Xia Xinyu had such a cute secret.
"Socks," Chen Yuan suddenly said.
"Ah?" Hearing Chen Yuan say this word, Xia Xinyu instantly froze.
Then, Chen Yuan added, "I want to buy some fuzzy long socks, it's almost winter, and it's indeed a little cold. Let's pick some on Taobao together on the bus later."
"Ah... okay." Xia Xinyu then showed a smile and nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she also said in her heart with a slightly 'scared' tone:
[I thought he discovered that I only had that fragrance because I washed my feet and changed my socks...]
[That would also make me seem too vain, like I had to prove that I had my own body fragrance...]
Damn it, Yu Zi, could you be any more amusing?
The secret she wanted to keep was such an outrageous little thing!
Wait.
If this superpower was so fun, did that mean that as long as he touched the other person's head, he could grasp their handle?
At this time, he immediately thought of his son and daughter-in-law.
Because these two B were already together, the previous band-aid couldn't become a weapon to restrain them.
Not only wasn't it a weakness, it would even become part of the fun for this dog couple.
This, definitely not.
So, when it was time for class, if he secretly put his hand on Yu Zi's head, wouldn't he be able to evilly窥探 (kuī tàn, peep) at his unknown secret, that he didn't even want his dad to know?!
Yoshi.
With this thought, Chen Yuan went to school.
He wanted to touch, now he wanted to touch whenever he saw an acquaintance.
But obviously, it couldn't be Shirley Liu, Liu Fang, He Hongtao, these acquaintances.
After entering the school gate, everyone he saw along the way wasn't someone he could touch.
But because of humanity's desire for the unknown, he even wanted to touch every stranger he saw on the road who looked like they had a story.
仙法 (Xiān Fǎ, Immortal Technique), True Several Thousand Hand Head Touch!
Yo, 47...
Forget it, although the progress between Li Yuan琛 and her was unclear, but after all, there was a possibility of friend7, not 可7 (kě qī, able to be bullied).
Qiu Meng wouldn't work either.
Even if Tang Jian didn't want to have any story with her, this was also a friend7 that might exist.
Hmm, he had to set a principle - only touch men.
Just like that, Chen Yuan walked to the teaching building, and when he was going upstairs, he saw Tang Siwen who was looking down, eating a steamed bun while walking, and was going quite fast.
At the same time, there was also a pair of boys in front of Tang Siwen, playing around.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan strode forward, walked behind Tang Siwen, and raised one hand.
"You motherfucker, that was really a坑 (kēng, trap) yesterday, let Daddy come and好好疼 (hǎo hāo téng, take good care of)..."
The boy who was fooling around raised his hand, preparing to rua the head of the boy next to him.
At this time, he suddenly felt a hand blocking his elbow.
When he reacted and turned his head, he realized that when he raised his hand, he almost elbowed a girl's head.
Fortunately, a brother reached out to block it, slightly alleviating the impact, so she wasn't hit too hard.
"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't see you," the boy quickly apologized.
"Hmm, it's nothing," Chen Yuan nodded slightly, not caring.
Then, the two of them left.
And Tang Siwen, who was slightly bumped, but used her hand to protect her head, was stunned in place.
She raised her head, looked at Chen Yuan who was touching her head, and thanked him vaguely while swallowing the bun in her mouth: "Xier... Xier"
Chen Yuan lowered his hand.
But an image appeared in his mind.
At a dining table, there were four people sitting.
Tang Siwen, next to her was Tang Siwen's mother, as well as a man across from them, and a girl who looked like a middle school student.
After their respective parents said something, they got up together and left for a while.
Then, the girl across from Tang Siwen picked up a teapot, gesturing to pour water for her.
Tang Siwen nodded seriously and politely held the cup with both hands.
However, when pouring the water, the other party's hand didn't know if it was 癫 (diān, crazy) or what, suddenly skewed, and the hot water directly poured onto the back of Tang Siwen's hand...
With a "pa" sound, the cup in Tang Siwen's hand shook and fell to the ground, smashing to pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the girl suddenly put the teapot in front of Tang Siwen, and when their parents came, suddenly made a tearful gesture, crying...
He couldn't hear the sound.
But it was obvious that this little B was pretending.
And Tang Siwen, was bewildered and covering her hand, left her seat.
Was Bao Bao Daren being bullied?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly rolled up Tang Siwen's sleeve.
Then, he saw the redness left by a mild burn on her wrist.
"..."
Tang Siwen quickly retracted her hand, hiding it in her sleeve, looking at Chen Yuan, without saying a word.
