Superman's End Manual

An Hong and Qiu Xia shook their heads and said in unison.

"No."

After being casually glanced at by Bai Zini, the two quickly nodded and changed their tune, saying, "Yes. We girls just like to go to the bathroom together."

Soon after, Bai Zini took off her shoes at the door, put on household slippers, and then pulled You Minglu out of the entrance hall and turned right at the corner to enter the bathroom.

Then, with a "snap," the bathroom door slammed shut and locked. Now, under the dim light bulb, only Bai Zini and You Minglu remained.

Bai Zini's back was pressed against the door, her right hand on the doorknob. She took a few deep breaths before slowly raising her eyes from her bangs.

Yu Minglu met her fierce gaze, tilted his head in confusion, and asked in a low voice.

"Senior, why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Zini stared at her and asked in an icy tone, "What do you think?"

"Senior, you're not really going to go to the bathroom with me, are you?"

As he spoke, You Minglu widened his eyes slightly, covered his mouth, and hesitated, "If you have such psychological needs, I might be able to comply."

"Get lost! Still pretending to be stupid."

"What did I do to make you so anxious?"

"you are done."

"I understand. Is the Witch's Church coming to hunt me down? I'm so scared, senior, please protect me."

Bai Zini grew angrier as she listened, thinking to herself, "How can this guy pretend to be so stupid?" So she spoke slowly and deliberately.

"The Witch's Church hasn't arrived yet, but that doesn't mean you're doomed."

"Just a few days ago, my senior was saying that Witch's Night was coming soon and told me to run far away. But today she's going to kill me. She changed her mind in less than two days. What a heartless woman she is!" You Minglu said sadly. "Indeed, a little girl who grew up with garbage in her mouth can't trust the words of a little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Little girls like us who pick up trash and eat dirt every day only have a sincere heart left. It's normal to be let down."

"Get lost! You've been growing up with garbage in your mouth all day long, how come you haven't choked to death by it yet?!"

Bai Zini was so angry that she felt a tightness in her chest. She thought to herself that there was probably no one else in the world who could make her this angry except for Ke Mingye and You Minglu, and yet she couldn't do anything about it.

She took a deep breath, paused for a moment, then frowned and looked at You Minglu, asking in a low voice, "What I'm talking about is, did you call my brother over?"

You Minglu was taken aback: "I thought it was Senior who called his brother over, but it turns out it wasn't?"

"How could that be!" Bai Zini sighed. "There's a superhero and four magical girls here. Why bring in a Muggle idiot? To be the control group?"

"So how did he get here?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing, were you really not the one who texted him to invite him here?"

"Senior, do you think I can get your brother to come out with just one text message, given his personality?" You Minglu said casually. "Excuse me for being frank, but from the first time I met him, I felt that he was the kind of lazy, homebody."

"Why do you talk as if you know him so well?"

“Because I’m a lazy dog ​​too,” You Minglu said earnestly. “Lazy dogs can recognize each other.”

"It seems to make sense."

Bai Zini nodded, inexplicably finding this argument convincing.

"Even if I did call him here, why was he so surprised when he saw you, senior?" You Minglu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to defend himself, "Isn't that strange?"

"It's very strange."

As she spoke, Bai Zini crossed her arms, tapping her fingers lightly on her arm, and lowered her head in thought. "If you didn't call her here, then why is she here?"

"Instead of thinking about it, I'll just text him and ask him directly."

As Yu Minglu spoke, he quickly took his phone out of the pocket of his jumpsuit.

"Don't ask me, I'll ask myself."

As she spoke, Bai Zini took her phone out of the pocket of her blue and white denim jacket, her fair fingers tapping rapidly on the virtual keyboard before finally clicking send.

At this very moment, on the other side of the rented room.

As An Hong walked into the living room side by side with An Renchuan, she quietly introduced him to him.

"The one with short hair is Qiu Xia, I've shown you her picture; the one who just walked into the restroom with Senior Bai Zini is You Minglu, Lu as in Lilu."

An Renchuan nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, I've got it."

He paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "I know Qiu Xia. But are your other two friends also magical girls like you?"

"No, no, no, no." An Hong waved her hand and quickly said, "Bai Zini is not a magical girl, just an ordinary friend."

"What about You Minglu?"

"She...she...she is a magical girl."

"I see."

An Renchuan then asked, "Does Bai Zini know your secret identities?"

An Hong thought for a moment and said, "Although we only get together occasionally, she knows who we are, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her to our home."

Her survival instincts were extremely strong, fearing that if she gave the wrong answer, she might anger Senior Ash when they were in the middle of a conversation, causing him to pull out his magic umbrella and start firing wildly at them.

"I see," An Renchuan murmured, then asked, "Bai Zini seems to know my friend. Why don't you ask her if she's met my friend somewhere before?"

"Okay, I'll ask her later."

An Hong said hesitantly, thinking to herself, "Brother, are you trying to make me jump into a fire pit? If I accidentally touch Ash Senior's minefield, I won't be able to survive!"

Qiu Xia, who was standing next to her, crossed her arms and said, "What are you two whispering about? Do you have to be so affectionate?"

Sitting on the sofa, Ke Mingye chimed in, "Exactly. Brother An Renchuan, so you dragged us here as tools just to show off your brotherly affection?"

Upon hearing this, An Hong smiled awkwardly: "No, I was just talking normally."

An Renchuan shrugged and teased Qiu Xia, "Alright, alright, I'll give my sister back to you. Have fun."

As he spoke, he picked up his water glass and sat down next to Ke Mingye, asking in a low voice, "Comrade Blue Owl, so what exactly is your relationship with that girl named 'Bai Zini'?"

"It's nothing," Ke Mingye said. "We met once before. So her name is 'Bai Zini'?"

"My sister said she's not a magical girl."

“Of course she’s not a magical girl,” Ke Mingye paused, “She… well, never mind, I’m really not familiar with this girl.”

An Renchuan interrupted him, chuckling, "Judging from your tone, you really do seem to know her very well."

“Don’t talk about her, let’s talk about your sister instead,” Ke Mingye said. “What are the backgrounds of her other friends?”

An Renchuan replied, "The short-haired girl next to her is called Qiu Xia, the magical girl Feng; as for the girl in the jumpsuit, her name is You Minglu, and if I'm not mistaken..."

He paused for a moment: "She should be Magical Girl Ash."

"Magical Girl Ashes?" Ke Mingye paused, then murmured, "Why do you think that?"

An Renchuan smiled slightly and explained, "An Hong often mentions the two magical girls 'Ash' and 'Maple' to me. Since 'Magical Girl Maple' is Qiu Xia, then 'Magical Girl Ash' should be You Minglu."

You're so smart, bro.

Ke Mingye gasped, thinking to himself, "You're a genius to come to this conclusion. I'll be lucky to work with you in the future."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "No way, that girl named You Minglu, although she's not bad looking, gives me a rustic vibe, like a country bumpkin. Is she really that magical girl Ash? She doesn't seem like it..."

“Most likely,” An Renchuan said. “To be honest, I was also quite surprised.”

"Please, why don't you just ask your sister?"

"I'll ask in a bit."

"Speaking of which, Comrade Bai Yi..."

"what happened?"

Ke Mingye leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Seeing is believing. Did you feel it? I told you your sister was a lesbian. The way she looked at that magical girl, Feng, was practically drooling."

An Renchuan took a sip of water and said dismissively, "Let's not talk about whether it's true or not. Even if it is true, I can't decide her sexual orientation."

Is your family so open-minded?

"This is what it's like to not have parents."

"Oh no, since your sister is a lesbian, it's not surprising that you're a gay man." Ke Mingye said, silently moving his butt away from An Renchuan.

"No, no, it's not that bad." An Renchuan shrugged. "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person behind the mask."

"So what kind of person do you think I should be?"

Upon hearing this, An Renchuan lowered his head, scratched his chin with his finger, and tried to describe what was on his mind.

"A middle-aged man with a full beard and a great sense of humor, who usually likes to cook and DJ while shirtless."

"What the hell are you thinking? You're gay, aren't you?"

As Ke Mingye complained, he glanced down at his phone and saw a WeChat message from Bai Zini.

[Bai Zini: Bro, what the hell are you doing at my classmate's house?]

[Ke Mingye: I was about to ask you the same thing, why were you at my colleague's house?]

[Bai Zini: Colleague?]

[Ke Mingye: We're just colleagues, is there a problem?]

[Bai Zini: What kind of colleague is he/she? What does he/she do?]
