Chapter 258: Chapter 166: Gu Qiye: Xiaomai, I Am Blue Arc
But now, it seems everything isn’t as he thought.
Gu Wenyu was still kept in the dark.
But is it good to let Wenyu know about these things now? He still needs to focus on his high school... With his personality, he’d definitely ask a lot of questions, right? Xiaomai wouldn’t be happy with that either.
I should talk to her alone first, ask her attitude, and then consider talking to Wenyu about these matters.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiye suddenly spoke, "Wenyu, I want to talk to my sis alone."
"What’s it about? Can’t you say it in front of me?" Ji Minghuan tilted his head.
"Afraid she’ll get angry." Gu Qiye smiled, "You understand, right?"
"Alright, alright... You two siblings are so close, I’m just an outsider, I’ll just leave then."
Ji Minghuan snorted, casually saying, before leaving he grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and then openly took the cola that Su Zimai had just placed in the freezer.
He went upstairs, munching on the sunflower seeds.
Sure enough, Su Zimai was lost in thought at this moment and didn’t notice her cola being taken by her brother.
Just as he set foot on the second floor, Ji Minghuan leaned against the wall, took out a restraint belt from his sleeve, and with a "pop" sound, opened the can of cola, releasing a stream of cool mist.
The black restraint belt then released the lid and dropped to the floor.
Using the Restraint Sensing, Ji Minghuan quietly sipped the cola as he eavesdropped on their conversation.
Su Zimai asked suspiciously, "You said you know about ’Exorcists’?"
"Yes," Gu Qiye laughed, "What’s your Celestial Driver? I’m quite curious about what kind of superpower my sister has."
Su Zimai was stunned, "No way? How do you even know this?"
"Of course I know." Gu Qiye said nonchalantly, "Ke Qirui, your teacher, she’s from the Exorcist Association, right?" He thought for a moment, "Her Celestial Driver is a Single-sided Mirror, the ability is to control demons, the contracted demons are the ’Train Demon’ and ’Movie Demon’..."
Su Zimai was so dumbfounded that she couldn’t speak.
At this moment, her brain had stopped functioning.
To give an analogy, it’s like she painstakingly assembled her brain piece by piece with LEGO, and Gu Qiye came in like the neighbor’s mischievous child, yelling and overturning it with a single kick.
Now her brain had shattered into pieces of LEGO, clattering to the floor.
Moments later, a mind-blowing idea suddenly surged into her mind.
"Bro, you aren’t..." She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Hearing this, Gu Qiye lowered his head, his face complicated, lips slightly curled up, moments later revealing a relieved, carefree smile.
He spoke softly, "So, you’ve guessed it, yes, I am Blue..."
Su Zimai interrupted him, "You’re... Black Cocoon?"
Gu Qiye was taken aback, slowly raised his head.
Their eyes met.
A short silence enveloped the two, then suddenly there was a "pfft" sound from the upstairs hallway, as Ji Minghuan spewed out the cola he just drank.
He lay on the ground pounding the floor while quickly wiping the spilled liquid with the restraint belt.
Ji Minghuan coughed several times, thinking to himself, "Sis, you’re truly a rare genius, albeit a comedic one."
To avoid suspicion, Ji Minghuan started muttering to his phone:
"Come on, Li Qingping, can you get a skill? I’m better off messing around on the phone screen than you. Next time, can you not take the AD position! Just hang on me playing a Yuumi!"
Listening to the curses from upstairs, Gu Qiye and Su Zimai fell silent again.
They both thought, "When did Gu Wenyu get hooked on mobile games again? This Li Qingping seems to be his buddy, playing games together can strain friendships."
Moments later, Gu Qiye seemed to make a connection, tentatively asked:
"Uh... Xiaomai, why do you think I’m Black Cocoon? Can you tell me the reason, did that Black Cocoon say something to you?"
Su Zimai’s eye twitched slightly, supporting her exploding head, she had given up thinking, as a series of clues entwined messily in her mind, ultimately leading to the fact that Gu Qiye is Black Cocoon.
So, she frantically hung her head low, then lifted it, her eyes already turning red.
Finally, she shouted almost indignantly, "You really are Black Cocoon, aren’t you? You’re such a jerk, bro! Toying with me like this... Is it fun to spin me around?!"
"No, I’m not..."
No time to explain, as Su Zimai’s furious words bombarded him, "I was wondering why Black Cocoon knew so much about our family! Why does he seem so familiar, why come all the way to save me? Turns out it’s you, why hide it from me? Didn’t you already know I was an Exorcist, then why not tell me earlier?"
"I’m really not Black..."
"You’re not? Are you seriously saying you’re not?!"
Su Zimai got up from the couch, angrily marched towards Gu Qiye, glaring into his eyes.
When she gets mad, she’s like a penguin, waddling over and giving you a fierce peck.
To Gu Qiye, it didn’t feel like much; he just found such a sister quite adorable.
