Esper X Family – Chapter 188 – An Encounter on the Other Side

On a commercial street slightly away from the night market.

A girl’s silver hair cascaded like moonlight.

She strolled through the neon-lit commercial plaza.

An aura seemed to envelop her.

Her beauty drew frequent glances from passersby.

After leaving the night market, the fission body Ye Tong had run off to a more distant area.

She didn’t want Lou Wei to keep staring at her, always suspecting her of harboring ill intentions.

It wasn’t that Ye Tong was entirely opposed to observing from the sidelines. It might even give her stern father a bit of pressure.

But the thought of Lou Wei remaining so composed earlier made Ye Yao abandon the idea.

It wasn’t fun at all.

Since her main body was there, there was no need for the fission body to be present.

Otherwise, it would waste the feeling of having two perspectives.

“Hmm~ Looks like everything’s going smoothly.”

Ye Tong revealed a satisfied smile, her charm attracting attention.

Her happiness was genuine.

Her two small circles had merged into one.

In the future, they might interact more.

With this meeting as the foundation, future encounters would be much easier.

Once Sequence Zero moved to this city, Wu Mi and Fang Tang could easily visit her home.

Lou Wei would probably turn a blind eye to it.

As for Xia Lian…

She might try to sneak in, but it was unlikely for her to succeed.

Lou Wei probably wouldn’t let her get too close to the main body.

Through mind-reading, she discovered that Xia Lian had been locked onto by a powerful mental force when she patted her head earlier.

Every move by that cat lover could become the spark that sent her flying.

Loving the fission body was fine.

But if she wanted to love the main body, she would have to get past Lou Wei first.

The corners of Ye Tong’s lips curled slightly.

Currently, Luo Jianhua was drawing Xia Lian’s fire.

The poor kid was suffering.

Xia Lian’s gaze was full of intense emotion.

She didn’t hide her fondness for “cats” at all.

At first, Luo Jianhua thought that Xia Lian would only “bully” Ye Yao.

But later, she realized that she was also a target.

Ye Yao felt a bit guilty for not telling Luo Jianhua in advance.

When they returned, would Luo Jianhua blame her?

She would have to think about how to make it up to her.

Meanwhile, in a clothing store on the commercial street.

Warm yellow light spilled over racks filled with girls’ clothing.

A woman of extraordinary grace stood in the dress section.

Her fingertips gently brushed against a blue-and-white cotton dress.

“This color complements Ye Yao’s fair skin and hair.”

Xiao Jing murmured softly.

She held the dress up in front of her.

Imagining Ye Yao wearing it with her hair tied up.

The lace trim on the collar would surely tickle her neck.

Xiao Jing remembered that Ye Yao’s wardrobe had similar clothes.

Back then, Ye Yao had complained to her about it.

Since then, Xiao Jing had understood Ye Yao’s clothing preferences.

Comfort came first.

Aesthetics were secondary.

Just as a sales assistant approached to ask about her needs, she saw the woman pick up another T-shirt with a cat print.

“This one.”

It was rare for Xiao Jing to go out, so she naturally wanted to buy something for Ye Yao.

Even though Ye Yao’s wardrobe was already overflowing.

Xiao Jing still wanted to buy her something.

Thinking carefully.

The temperature would drop soon.

She would have to buy some thicker clothes for Ye Yao.

She couldn’t let her catch a cold.

Esper or not, Xiao Jing wanted her daughter to stay warm.

Of course, she didn’t forget about Luo Jianhua.

She would have to buy a few more items to prepare for winter.

Xiao Jing paid for the items and walked out of the store with bags in hand.

She was ready to visit the next store.

But at that moment.

Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a silver-haired figure.

The strikingly beautiful hair instantly drew her attention.

It was the same shade as Ye Yao’s.

The luster and tone were almost identical!

The bearer of this gorgeous hair was a slender girl.

Her silhouette resembled Ye Yao’s.

However, she was slightly taller.

Xiao Jing held her breath.

“She is…”

There was no mistaking it.

People with such hair were rare.

Moreover, the girl’s presence was extraordinary just from her back.

She must be Ye Yao’s biological older sister—Ye Tong!

As for why she’s here…

Xiao Jing quickly pieced it together.

Ye Yao had gone out with her friends tonight.

She might be nearby.

And Ye Tong might be watching her from a distance.

Showing her concern and care for her younger sister.

Xiao Jing had always believed that Ye Tong was a sister who deeply loved her sibling.

Her presence near Ye Yao wasn’t strange at all.

“Should I greet her?”

Xiao Jing hesitated.

She wasn’t completely unaware of Ye Tong’s background.

When Ye Tong led Sequence Zero to visit the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

She had been watching the screen alongside Lou Wei and others.

Ye Tong undoubtedly disliked people from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Every time she saw Lou Wei, she would start mocking him.

She didn’t show any respect for Fu Qi, the Bureau’s director either.

Only newcomers like Cui Ying, who had weak ties to the Bureau, were spared.

Xiao Jing wasn’t sure if she could change Ye Tong’s attitude.

Even Lou Wei, as Ye Yao’s father, couldn’t avoid being hissed at.

As the mother, she would likely face the same treatment.

Even so.

A thought arose in Xiao Jing’s heart.

She was going to make a bold decision.

This time, she had to meet Ye Tong.

Even if she was met with a cold expression.

Since Ye Tong was Ye Yao’s sister, in a way, she was also her “daughter”!

With this in mind, Xiao Jing approached the silver-haired girl with determination.

At that moment, the fission body Ye Tong was focusing her attention on Ye Yao’s main body.

She had to stay concentrated.

She couldn’t afford to lose focus while acting.

If she slipped up and was discovered by the Dayun Truck, it would be disastrous.

Fortunately, everything was progressing smoothly.

When they parted later, they could easily exchange their contact information.

Once Sequence Zero moved their home, she could quickly initiate the home-visit plan.

Ye Yao had long wanted to bring Wu Mi and Fang Tang to her home.

As for Xia Lian, it was better to hold off for now.

What difference was there between that and inviting a wolf into the house?

Ye Tong walked down the street with a faint smile.

Completely unaware that someone was approaching from behind.

Her current mental power wasn’t over ten thousand.

With just over a hundred, her senses weren’t that sharp.

Moreover, her attention was entirely focused on acting for the main body.

Add to that her excellent modeling.

It was only natural for her to attract attention.

It would actually be strange if she weren’t being stared at.

By now, Xiao Jing was right behind Ye Tong.

She had confirmed that the other party was indeed Sequence 002.

But Xiao Jing had one doubt.

The distance between them was less than ten meters.

Why hadn’t she noticed yet?

An S-rank Esper shouldn’t be this slow.

Xiao Jing could only brace herself and step forward, nervously greeting her.

“Good evening, Miss… Ye Tong.”

“Wah!”

Author Note

It actually rained all night. Listening to the sound of rain after waking up makes me want to stay in bed. Is this the same for everyone?
