I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Helios—a world-renowned top-tier supercar with only five units produced—was something Ji Mingyang had only glimpsed once in a classmate's conversation.

And now, a convoy of four out of the five cars was laid out before him, and its sun-like color scheme was naturally pleasing to the eye.

"What I just said still stands. If you want it back, I'll allow you to change your mind."

A devilish whisper sounded from the side, and Lü Buyi grinned wickedly.

This scene was witnessed by Gu Yu, who had just gotten off the carriage. He and the female attendant beside him—Lu Buyi's housekeeper in Dongxia—exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

But none of them dared to say anything, though they all had some idea of ​​Ji Mingyang's identity.

Lu Buyi's words were like the whispers of an ancient god, a bewitching spell.

Ji Mingyang could only respond with a "please spare me" look on his face.

Lü Buyi didn't insist too much, and his gaze turned to Gu Yu and Kong Qing beside him.

"You don't need to wait for me, and you don't need to follow me. Just go back."

"Yes, Master—"

The entire process was completed smoothly and efficiently.

Lu Buyi led Ji Mingyang into the Helios at the front, and they sped away at full throttle.

Perhaps for the average person, this speed would put a lot of pressure on them.

But to Lü Buyi and Ji Mingyang, who could accelerate to near-light speed, it was no different from taking a walk.

So they continued their casual conversation.

"You just asked me if there was anything that could completely solve your problem—" Lu Buyi answered while driving with one hand.

"There are solutions, and you don't need to worry. These solutions will be available to you soon."

"You're making it sound like I can reap all the benefits without lifting a finger."

"To reap without sowing... You still don't understand how much value your title of 'Son of the Sun God' really has. In fact, for a certain old man, guiding you to grow up in the future is already his only mission for the rest of his life."

Lu Buyi was right; in the early stages, Ji Mingyang often didn't understand his own importance.

If Zen Master knew about his actions in the original work, such as risking his life and being ready to fight to the death, beforehand...

That old man could go and tie up Snake Princess and Great Tengu together right now and beat them up to vent his anger.

"Even if you say that, it's impossible for me to completely accept it in a short time..."

Ji Mingyang's tone, which was as dejected as ever, made Lü Buyi find it somewhat amusing.

"Then why did you accept your girlfriend, whom you'd only known for less than a day, so quickly?"

"And they're already starting to worry about what will happen after you two get married and have kids... They don't want to shift the responsibility onto the children, how cheesy!"

Ji Mingyang's face darkened. Leaning back in his car seat, he didn't know how to refute it, because he really couldn't.

Because of the connection between the moon and the sun, he instinctively has a high tolerance for sunshine and rain, a fact he cannot deny.

So he simply turned his head to look out the window at the rows of neon lights flashing by and the endless stream of vehicles and buildings.

"I just feel that even if there is only a slight possibility, such a huge responsibility should not be shifted onto an unborn child."

"You understand, right?"

Could Lü Buyi understand?

Looking back on the education he received in his childhood and the responsibilities he bore after the deaths of his father and brothers, he couldn't really agree with it.

"I can't say I understand, after all, I don't have children yet, and I've never thought about having children."

Ji Mingyang was somewhat puzzled: "Don't you have a lot of people who like you? And you're so much older than me, haven't you ever considered this kind of thing?"

To this, Lü Buyi had only one answer: "I'm too busy. Neither my lover nor my children are issues that a busy person like me should be considering right now."

Ji Mingyang was speechless, utterly dumbfounded by this unprecedented situation.

But he couldn't help but be a little curious.

So busy that he can't even take care of his love life—what kind of heavy responsibility does Lü Buyi shoulder?

Having traveled halfway home, Ji Mingyang could already see his high school's teaching building.

Then he suddenly remembered something and took out the document that Lü Buyi had given him that afternoon and placed it between the two of them.

"You don't want it?" Lu Buyi raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn't expected that even Ji Mingyang didn't care.

"This isn't expensive for me, it's hardly an expense—you should know that, so even so, you're still refusing?"

That abandoned orphanage actually holds many unforgettable memories for Ji Mingyang; they are truly unforgettable.

He still didn't accept it, but not in the form of refusing a gift from a friend.

"It's not that I'm refusing, it's just that I don't think it's necessary for me to keep it."

"What difference does it make to me whether the ownership there is in your hands or mine?"

"Are you really going to refuse me entry so I can just sit there and reminisce about the past?"

Lu Buyi reached out and flicked his forehead.

Just like in the original novel, Ji Mingyang had no pursuit of power, wealth, or even power itself.

"That's why I said you don't know how to enjoy life..."

But Lü Buyi didn't try to educate him too much. As he said before, everyone has their own pursuits, so what can outsiders criticize?

However, some teasing is still inevitable, after all, friends always need some topics to joke about.

"You know, the protagonists in superhero stories are usually like you—" Lu Buyi said, turning to look at Ji Mingyang's face.

"Me?" Ji Mingyang was a little surprised. He couldn't think of himself as being related to a superhero at all.

Lü Buyi nodded, and then began to list the elements about him:

"Orphaned, yet possessing immense power, I seek nothing in return, though occasionally I feel lost."

"A face that's five to seven out of ten, carrying responsibilities that don't require his own attention, looking both pathetic and strong, making it very relatable—"

"Think about it carefully, am I right?"

Ji Mingyang was genuinely stunned for a moment, but he didn't try to argue. After all, that was just who he was, so what could be done?

"And what about you?" Just like friends teasing each other, Ji Mingyang countered with the question, "Are you the same?"

Unexpectedly, Lü Buyi shook his head and gave the completely opposite answer.

"I'm different."

"Why?" Ji Mingyang asked, somewhat curious.

"Because no one can relate to me."

Appearance, strength, wealth, background... Thinking about it carefully, it does seem to make sense.

So, besides gritting his teeth and hating capitalism, all Ji Mingyang could do was sit there resentfully drawing circles and cursing Lü Buyi.

The two continued their murmurs for a long time, only stopping when Helios slowly came to a stop in front of Ji Mingyang's house.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Ji Mingyang asked.

"No, it's not the right time yet," Lü Buyi shook his head.

Now is not the time for the three of us to meet our destiny... the real time.

Lü Buyi only silently recited these words in his heart.

Then, watching Ji Mingyang's departing figure until he completely disappeared into the darkness, he did not utter another word.
