Chapter 42: Rain Crow, School, Past

"Since you don't have school the day after tomorrow, why not invite your girlfriend over for dinner?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I said no, and I mean no."

Xia Ningzhi draped her arms over Ke Mingqing's shoulders from behind the sofa, chattering away. "Oh, come on, would it kill you to let your sister see what she looks like? Li told me she's a Japanese heiress, and I'm dying of curiosity!"

"Wow, a Japanese heiress? Our Qing has really moved up in the world," Ke Linye said with a smile, his eyes still lowered to his book.

"Exactly." Xia Zili unscrewed the cap and took a sip of her chilled water chestnut drink. "He's very successful. Just a few days ago, he had an epic one-on-one brawl with a Superhuman Species criminal on his school bus like a real man. It was so cool that the whole school knows about his heroic deeds."

"School bus? When did this happen?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.

While relentlessly harassing Mingqing, Ning Zhi turned to Lin Ye and asked, "Huh, didn't Dad tell you?"
