Chapter 494: Chapter 495: The Condition of the Special Ability

"Ugh..." Chu You was speechless, giving an annoyed glance at the glowing Bao’er.

"Ah... her... how should I put it, she doesn’t recognize me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t recognize her, right? I have known her for over ten years and we’ve always had interactions, albeit in the game. She doesn’t know my real identity since I never told her. In reality, like you see, this is our first meeting."

"Brother, were you secretly in love with Sister Zhao all this time?"

"Not at all, there’s nothing like that."

"That’s so strange. Your encounter doesn’t seem like a reunion of old friends at all." Bao’er composed her words, her eyes unfocused as she pondered over the unusual situation before her, "From what you just said, recalling your meeting just now, it sounded like you two were...um... talking in a rock-paper-scissors kind of way."

Bao’er suddenly turned to Chu You, asked, "Brother, how did you two arrange to meet up?"

Feeling alarmed that continuing this conversation would lead to trouble, Chu You said, "Bao’er, the adult world is very complicated, it’s not as simple as you think. There are... eh... many intricacies and fateful ties interwoven. In short, as you see, that’s just how things happened." Chu You started to talk in riddles.

Glancing at Bao’er’s expression, Chu You was somewhat speechless. His ex-girlfriend from a previous life was so curiously eager to uncover what was, to her, a fascinating mystery.

"Alright, let’s not discuss this anymore, it’s not something you’re of age to be exposed to."

"Oh..."

...

At a high-end hospital in Mohai City, Lin Luor was standing by the window, looking out into the darkness behind the glass. A moment later, she looked down at a smear on her hand. Until yesterday, or even for most of today, the spot would have automatically cleaned itself. Yet, an hour ago, this inexplicable self-cleaning ability had disappeared again, just as quietly as it came, only to leave quietly as well.

Lin Luor couldn’t understand what was happening, why had it disappeared again? What state was her body in?!

At first, Lin Luor had been quite glad about the disappearance of this special ability, after all, she assumed her body had returned to normal. However, gradually a sense of loss surfaced. Had she returned to being ordinary again?!

Throughout these days, besides looking after her mother, Lin Luor had been pondering the peculiar abilities that had suddenly manifested within her. After thinking it over, she concluded that it might be linked to Chu You. She remembered the incident in the bathroom, recalling that Chu You hadn’t even sustained a scratch on his skin, nor were there any fragments on his clothes.

From the clean state of the bathroom, the shattered glass seemed unnatural, unlikely to be caused by some object’s collision. The scattered shards were too minuscule, and the mirror glass had some thickness to it, unlike those in common households. The mirror was of good quality and the shattering was too intense. At the time, she was focusing on Chu You, so she hadn’t given it much thought. But now, in retrospect, it indeed seemed odd.

Then there was Chu You’s peculiar behavior at the time...

Additionally, the sudden forming of cracks in the water glass was now crystal clear to her.

Suppose it was related to Chu You, then how did her own phenomena come about? Could it be... At the thought, Lin Luor’s cheeks blushed.

While Lin Luor considered the possibility that the game pod was responsible for her changes, the odd occurrences surrounding Chu You made her lean towards the latter explanation, considering that his mysterious deeds were conspicuous.

Picking up her phone, Lin Luor decided to call Chu You.

Chu You had been calling Lin Luor at mealtimes these few days. Their conversations never touched on any unusual circumstances. Today, Chu You hadn’t called Lin Luor, so she decided to call him now.

"Hello, Luor." The call was answered quickly and a familiar voice came through.

Lin Luor breathed a sigh of relief internally. She had assumed he was in the Celestial World but... shouldn’t he be in the Celestial World at this time?!

"Did you eat? What are you doing? I thought you were in the game." Lin Luor shared her puzzlement while looking at her own reflection in the window glass.

"Oh, just doing nothing. Is your mother’s condition better?" Chu You was about to spin a white lie, but seeing Bao’er beside him, he corrected his words at the last moment. At the same time, he pressed a key on the mobile phone screen that activated a noise-canceling function. It effectively silenced any traffic noises or other ambient sounds, and had a voice recognition feature. However, the downside was that it introduced a few seconds delay in relaying his voice to the other end.

This feature was extremely powerful and had military applications. It was difficult to find a cell phone with this feature on the market.

"Hmm, her condition has been steady, won’t be long before she is discharged." Lin Luor suddenly felt a peculiar silence on the other end, as if Chu You was in a place devoid of human activity.

"Good, I’ll come to pick you up when that happens." With Bao’er around, Chu You also couldn’t find the right words for affection.

Thankfully, Lin Luor was preoccupied with her own issues at the moment and didn’t continue detouring the conversation.

"Chu You, I...". Lin Luor started to say something then hesitated, furrowing her brows.

"What’s wrong?" Chu You also frowned. This girl was somewhat naive. If she hadn’t met Chu You, Lin Luor would handle her problems independently, a characteristic of a strong personality. But the moment she discovered someone to ’rely on’, she couldn’t hide her concerns from the man she considered a pillar of support.

"Chu You, my body...".

"Eh, you... Are you pregnant?" Chu You’s voice lowered at the final word. Luckily, the traffic noise seemed to have covered it, and Bao’er seemed to have not heard.

Lin Luor’s face turned red immediately, and she hastily shook her head, "No, that’s not it, where is your mind going? I completed a full-body check-up recently and that was definitely ruled out."

"Then, what is it?" Chu You had a premonition that Lin Luor was about to reveal her biggest secret to him!

"I’ve experienced a...very strange phenomenon on my body. Chu You, do you have anything strange happening to you?" Finally, Lin Luor spoke her mind.

After a few seconds of silence, the car Chu You was driving had entered the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. Behind him, Zhao Feiyan’s eyes flashed as she followed suit, although they didn’t go down the same lane. Zhao Feiyan just needed to keep Chu You’s vehicle within her sight.

"What strange phenomenon, tell me!"

Did something strike a chord with him?! Lin Luor felt a subtle emotional shift. As she subtly licked her lips, her expression was quite tense. She proceeded to describe her automatic cleaning ability, concluding, "More than an hour ago, this ability unaccountably disappeared again."
