However, the more normal Song Qingchun reacted, the tauter Su Zhinian's nerves. He needed to know how Song Qingchun really felt about his superpowers. Along the way to their destination, he tried both purposely and accidentally brushing his hand against hers, but he failed to read any thoughts from her mind.
As the car neared the mall, Su Zhinian became increasingly agitated. Eventually, he couldn't stop himself from calling her name. "Tingting?"
"Hmm?" Song Qingchun turned her head away from the window to look at him. Su Zhinian's mouth moved, but the question that was on his mind couldn't form on his lips. Eventually, he asked, "Where do you want to go?"
After a pause, Su Zhinian added, "How about ACR?"
Song Qingchun nodded easily. "Sure."Su Zhinian nodded after her. Through the rear-view mirror, he glanced at her. His mouth moved multiple times, but still, the question wasn't asked. He didn't have the courage to find out the truth. He was afraid that she was merely acting this way because she was in denial. He was afraid that he might burst the bubble, and in the end, it was him who would get hurt.
Even though his heart was a mess and all over the place, it was better than having it torn open by separation.
…
ACR was one of the more high class shopping centres in Beijing. The cheapest item here would cost five digits.
Due to the exorbitant selling price, it deterred the normal public, so ACR was deserted at most times. At least, that's how it used to be. About two years ago, when Lu Jinnian was spotted dating Qiao Anhao at ACR, they were at the height at their popularity, and they accidentally brought popularity to ACR. This caused many people who couldn't afford anything at the centre to visit it whenever they were free to see whether they would run into any celebrities.
Since they woke up, Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun hadn't had anything to eat. So after they arrived, Song Qingchun suggested they go for a meal at the top floor. They selected a restaurant that served Hong Kong style cuisine to dine in. Since it was not lunch time, the place was quite empty.
The place served delicious dishes with exquisite presentation. The pregnant Song Qingchun was starving, so after the dishes were served, she dug in immediately. When she was half full, Song Qingchun slowed down, and her eyes wandered around the restaurant.Song Qingchun saw a waitress coming out of the kitchen with a corn soup. Suddenly, inspiration came to her. She bit on her chopsticks and whispered, "Su Zhinian?"
Su Zhinian, who was lost in thought, raised his head to look at her.
Song Qingchun looked left and right as if she was a thief. She then raised her hand to cover her face as she used a voice that was barely audible to say, "Didn't you say you can mind control people? I want you to control that waitress to serve us the corn soup."
Su Zhinian frowned with disagreement.
