Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Ye Chenyang was unaware of the girl's thoughts and assumed that her exhaustion was due to the excessive exertion she had experienced that day.

"It's okay, I understand. You must be tired today, let me take you home? I came by bike, it's very convenient."

He pointed to a black sidecar motorcycle parked outside the training field.

Clearly, he had planned to bring Jiang Mian to the training ground before he arrived.

"Huh? No, no, isn't that unnecessary? I live in the north of the city now, it's a bit far..."

"It's alright, we're going that way anyway."

He told a little lie without making a sound.

After waking up, I moved from the west side of the city to the south side, just for peace and quiet. It was the best residential area in the city.

If he were to take Jiang Mian back, he would have to take a long detour to get home.

"Well... this is troublesome."

"It was just a small favor."

……

The sound of motorcycle engines was particularly clear on the quiet streets in the north of the city.

Ye Chenyang's driving skills are very steady; even on bumpy roads, he maintains a remarkably stable ride.

"We're here, right here."

The car stopped in front of the residential area designated by Jiang Mian.

"Go back and get some rest."

Jiang Mian turned her head slightly and secretly glanced at Ye Chenyang's expression. It seemed that he was just concerned and had no other thoughts.

Just as Ye Chenyang was about to give a few more instructions, a slightly hesitant voice rang out from not far away.

"Jiang Mian?"

The two of them turned around at the same time.

Wang Chen, dressed in a police officer's uniform, was standing not far away, clearly passing by on patrol.

Seeing Jiang Mian get out of a strange man's car, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

He glanced at Jiang Mian, and after confirming that she was alright, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since that incident, Jiang Mian's image had been haunting him. He had also heard about the warehouse incident a few days ago…

Although he was just an intern and couldn't directly access the core of the murder case, he still learned the general outline of the matter from Chen Qing.

Jiang Mian not only successfully awakened extremely powerful abilities, but also launched a counterattack unconsciously, which led to Li Hao's death.

That's a high-level sequence... Wang Chen never dared to even dream of it before.

She actually possesses such amazing talent?

Wang Chen always felt a heavy sense of guilt towards Jiang Mian, because when she needed help the most, he was unable to do anything due to his cowardice and lack of ability.

However... my deskmate, whom I haven't seen for a while, seems to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

Jiang Mian was wearing a pair of round-framed glasses he had never seen before, and she was dressed neatly and cleanly, while beside her...

The man was tall and straight, a head taller than Jiang Mian.

Even in simple casual clothes, her outstanding looks and temperament are undeniable.

Just standing there gives you a strange sense of security, as if you have everything under control.

This is exactly what he longed to be before his awakening.

However, the presence of such a person beside Jiang Mian only made him feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

He couldn't help but wonder, who is this person? And how do they know Jiang Mian?

She shouldn't be like Li Hao, right? After all... Jiang Mian doesn't seem to mind...

He lacked the courage and reason to ask, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said:

"What a coincidence, Jiang Mian. Are you... feeling better?"

"Yes, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

Jiang Mian gave a gentle smile to the suddenly appearing old classmate, his attitude as always, but inwardly he sighed.

How could she not sense what her deskmate was thinking?

The awkwardness and nervousness when facing himself, and the fleeting scrutiny and inferiority complex when looking at Ye Chenyang.

It has to be said, it's a classic.

In her past life, she was the same way in high school, so she could understand the mentality of teenage boys all too well.

Jiang Mian felt disgusted by those blatant acts of malice and desire, and would retaliate in extreme ways, while also finding some amusement for himself amidst his repressed pretense.

But someone like Wang Chen... she just felt he was a bit of a nuisance. She couldn't just kill him, could she?

This somewhat extreme thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it.

Calm down... calm down...

She has to maintain her public image; it can't fall apart.

Fortunately, my "awakening" sequence is high enough that we are destined to be on different paths. As long as we don't run into each other by chance like today, the other party will naturally back down.

Or... should I use Ye Chenyang as a shield myself?

Thinking of this, she naturally turned to Ye Chenyang and introduced him:

"Ye Chenyang, this is my classmate, Wang Chen."

"This is Ye Chenyang, my... friend."

"Wang Chen? Hello."

Ye Chenyang's gaze fell on the trainee police officer in front of him, but a slight ripple stirred in his heart.

"It's him..."

Ye Chenyang remembered this somewhat thin boy who had a slight stutter.

Or rather, he has an impression of his future self.

In their previous life, when they first met in Base City No. 1, Ye Chenyang was already at the sixth rank, while the other party's level... was only the third rank.

However, Wang Chen advanced from the third rank to the fifth rank in less than a year, which is considered extremely fast even though his rank is not low.

In Ye Chenyang's memory, his ability... should be Sequence 15 [Silent Domain], a rare domain-type ability with extremely strong suppressive power.

However, because it is an extreme late-stage ability, its initial performance is highly similar to the low-sequence [Listening], making it easy to be misjudged and overlooked.

Only through the continuous growth of its holders can its power be gradually revealed.

Looking at the young man before him, Ye Chenyang found it hard to reconcile him with the image of that genius.

If you think about it that way, there seem to be quite a few geniuses in Base City 144, but he didn't know that?

Did I leave this world too early in my past life...?

"Hello there."

Wang Chen responded somewhat hesitantly, saying that he felt he had heard the name Ye Chenyang somewhere before.

For some reason, when Ye Chenyang stood next to Jiang Mian, he felt they were surprisingly well-matched, and he couldn't muster any hostility.

Do you doubt yourself because you feel inadequate?

Ye Chenyang took in his embarrassment and understood.

Initially, those with lower-sequence awakenings would be happy to be able to awaken, but after comparing themselves with other awakened individuals, they would inevitably start to doubt themselves.

Although Wang Chen has great potential, Ye Chenyang does not intend to interfere with his growth trajectory, lest it add unnecessary variables.

After all, he had set his primary goal as the [River of Oblivion], and he didn't want anything else to go wrong...

After a brief greeting, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit cold.

Jiang Mian felt a headache coming on. She didn't know how long this stalemate would last.

All she could say was:

"Um... Wang Chen, are you currently interning at the North District Public Security Bureau?"

"Yes, that's right."

Wang Chen nodded quickly:

"After all... my skills are more suited to this job, and the pay is good, so I chose to come here for an internship. How about you? How have you been lately?"

What was originally just a casual question, Jiang Mian sensed a glimmer of opportunity in it.

She was initially worried that it would be abrupt to suggest going to the city defense for an internship, so she thought she would take it step by step and bring it up when the time was right.

Now... there are bystanders, and in this chance encounter, it sounds natural to say it in a casual tone, as if it were a spontaneous idea.

Give it a try!
