Chapter 349: 256 Oh~ Grandpa Jiang!

Zhuangzhuang was frightened by the sudden image, his heart skipped a beat.

He froze for a good few seconds before he gripped the bed rail with both hands, his big head facing down, and carefully checked underneath his bunk—

Indeed, there was no one.

He then looked back at the cup, and the water inside was still slightly swaying because of the previous movement.

So just then, the cup really did move in front of him, he hadn’t seen wrong!

Zhuangzhuang quickly climbed down from his bunk, not even noticing that the numbness in his feet had passed.

He picked up the cup and looked around its base, wondering if it was some kind of physical principle he had once seen on the internet that had caused the cup to move by itself?

But he shook his head quickly. As the president of the Cultivation Society, how could he think about physical principles when encountering such an incident?

It should be more like...

Zhuangzhuang’s heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit.

Could it be that he had developed Special Abilities???

He tried to replicate what he had done earlier, pretending to be thirsty and wanting to drink water, but this time, the cup did not move.

It must be that his method wasn’t correct, not enough to recreate the earlier situation. What exactly had he done earlier?

The other guys in the dorm, who had just returned from playing basketball, walked in arm-in-arm, teasing each other. Upon entering, they saw Zhuangzhuang standing alone in front of a desk, holding one foot with both hands, and repeatedly muttering a few phrases to a bottle of water: "I’m so thirsty, I want to drink water, but my feet are numb, I can’t move..."

Roommates:...

A few seconds later, one considerate roommate helped him by handing him the cup of water...

In the end, the cup did not move on its own again. Zhuangzhuang thanked his roommates and then looked around, his gaze landing on the large medicinal pill placed by his bedside...

Meanwhile, having returned to the Xia Family, Bru was in the garden of the Xia family’s villa playing fetch with Xia Xing, displaying amazing bouncing strength and precision.

Xia Xing was initially just playing along, but unexpectedly, he ended up more tired than it was.

No matter how far Xia Xing threw the Frisbee, Bru always managed to jump at the right time and firmly catch the Frisbee.

It caught with such ease that it made Xia Xing feel quite disconcerted.

He had no choice but to throw further and harder.

He sweated and eventually took off his jacket, exposing the short-sleeved T-shirt underneath. Although he looked slender on regular days, when he swung his arms forcefully, his brawny arm muscles displayed perfectly.

And with the sweat from exercising and the warm yellow sunlight casting over his skin, it looked like his skin was coated in a healthy glow.

Luckily, this was within the Xia family villa, where paparazzi couldn’t enter; otherwise, this scene, if captured and posted online, would definitely be a dream-come-true treat for the fans!

But as Xia Xing went all out, Bru’s physical abilities became more and more astonishing.

Xia Xing doubted several times whether this jumping height was normal for a regular dog.

After coming back from the lab, Xia Ye first placed her ancient book neatly on the shelf, then sat back at her desk to continue "making mud balls".

She first made some snacks for Bru, as the kiddo has a big appetite and eats a lot, she had to make extra.

In over an hour, she rolled out a small basin full.

After attending to Bru, she made medicinal pills for Zhuangzhuang and his group.

Lu Beibei, not knowing what she was up to, simply watched her performative actions.

And thought it must be related to some research from the Department of Biomedical Sciences.

Moving on to Jiang Xuan, after returning to his office, he hadn’t even finished a single contract.

Even though he was looking at the contract, Xia Ye’s face kept appearing before his eyes.

Usually, he peers at you with his cold eyes as if he barely cares about you, but suddenly, he might just give you a piece of candy.

It was like a soft thorn had been planted on the tip of your heart, unintentionally stirring you.

Not painful, but very ticklish.

He really was a little fox.

Dong Mao, carrying freshly brewed tea, entered and immediately noticed his master’s expression and knew that his master’s soul had been hooked away by that little ancestor.

He first glanced around the office to make sure Shen Jing wasn’t there, then proceeded to pour the tea for his master, and began talking about things they normally couldn’t discuss in front of others: "Master, I’ve been thinking these past few days, you think those old folks at Ear Mountain would rest easy allowing Miss Xia to come to the human world and suffer? Could they, like you, want to come and watch over her too?"

Mid-sentence, upon meeting his master’s emotionless eyes, Dong Mao suddenly realized, "I mean, you are here to protect Miss Xia, I meant they might also want to come and watch over her..."

Jiang Xuan indifferently returned his gaze to the contract, turning a page: "Since I could come, they naturally could too. Once the decision to come here was made, many things were no longer under my control."
