Chapter 689: Meeting the Parents
Xue Xi paused when she heard Gao Yanchen’s words.
The special department was the official department of the country’s espers. This police department specialized in handling esper crimes. Strictly speaking, their job was indeed to protect the country.
After all, the damage that could be caused by an esper was too great.
For example, the person standing in front of her could burn an entire mountain once he used his special power!
Moreover, Xue Xi could feel that Gao Yanchen had actually restrained himself on the mountain that day. After all, there were still other people on the mountain. It would be bad if they got hurt.
Think about it. If there was such a person among the bad guys, how could there be no danger if it was espers like Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi who went to fight?
Hence, it was not wrong for Zheng Zhi to say that they were protecting the country.
However, Zheng Zhi was too annoying. Even if he did the right thing, it would still make people feel disgusted.
Just as Xue Xi was thinking this, she saw the confusion in the young man’s eyes. Xue Xi thought for a moment and slowly said, “No.”
Gao Yanchen was stunned.
Xue Xi walked to his side and looked out through the window.
She slowly said, “Professor Feng’s special power is mind expansion, so he is not suited to joining the special department and is only suited to doing academic research. But no matter where you are, no matter what your ident.i.ty is, as long as you keep your country in mind, that is patriotism.”
“…”
Huaxia University’s night sky was beautiful.
The students below came and went in a hurry. Even though it was 9 PM, everyone was still busy. Some were studying while others were doing projects.
In another laboratory, there were exclamations and sighs. “We failed again.”
Of course, there were also couples dating under the ancient tree downstairs. Everything seemed to be so positive.
This was Huaxia University’s charm.
Xue Xi did not know that Gao Yanchen’s internal conflict had suddenly become clear because of Xue Xi’s words.
…
After comforting the confused Little Flame, she then went to the laboratory. When she saw that everything was on track and that she could completely let go, Xue Xi returned to the dormitory.
Xiang Huai, who had been on a date with her for the entire day, had nothing to do after sending his girlfriend off. In the end, he returned to the Xiang residence.
Just as he entered, he heard his mother Lin Jing’s exaggerated voice. “Aiya, whose young son is this? Why is he so handsome?”
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow and turned around. “Mom.”
Lin Jing instantly clutched her chest. “Aiyo, you do still know that I’m your mother. I thought that you wouldn’t recognize me after not seeing me for so long! Ha, I know that you’re busy with work, but no matter how busy you are, you are really something else! You don’t go back home even though you have a home. Just to see my own son, I have to invite him three or four times. Should I call your secretary another day and make an appointment?”
“…” Xiang Huai looked at his furious mother and knew that he had gone overboard.
However, he knew how to soothe her. Hence, he lowered his eyes and said, “I didn’t go to work today. I went on a date.”
Indeed, as soon as he said this, Lin Jing’s eyes lit up. “You went on a date? Then why are you back? Don’t you know how to seize the opportunity?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “Isn’t it because I knew that you missed me? How can a girlfriend be more important than one’s mom? Of course I came back to accompany you.”
Lin Jing mercilessly exposed him. “It’s because Xixi wants to study. She thinks you’re annoying.”
Xiang Huai was not angry. He walked to Lin Jing’s side and said, “Mom, I want to tell you two things.”
Lin Jing instantly became vigilant. “What?”
Could it be that he was interested in the money in her bank card again?
Calculating the time, the family business’s dividends had just arrived.
She knew that nothing good would happen whenever her son returned home.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xiang Huai said, “I’m planning to invite the little kid to our house to meet my parents. Prepare yourself to confess that you’re her mother-in-law.”
Lin Jing: “???”
She had been texting Ye Li every day, and the two of them had become best friends.
Wasn’t asking her to confess now a test of their friends.h.i.+p?
However… meeting the parents…
Lin Jing’s eyes lit up. “I understand. You’re getting engaged after she meets your parents, right? Are you planning to get married next year?”
Xiang Huai nodded.
Lin Jing was extremely excited. “This idea is not bad. It’s very good. I support you!”
After Lin Jing let down her guard, she smiled and asked, “What’s the second matter?”
Could Xixi be pregnant?
Just as she was thinking this, Xiang Huai said with a smile, “Mom, do you have money?”
What answered Xiang Huai was a bolster flying toward him…
At the same time.
Xue Sheng, who had been looking for Xue Xi the whole day, returned home exhausted.
Seeing him like this, Ye Li asked, “What’s wrong?”
The moment Xue Sheng thought of that balloon, he was filled with anger. “I’m telling you, you must make Xixi and Xiao Xiang break up!”
Ye Li: “???”
