Esper X Family – Chapter 392 – Really Can’t Tell Them Apart!

Pressuring the Ye Yao Circle was just a minor episode.

After pulling her prank, Ye Yao slept like a log. One could say that she built her happiness on the foundation of others’ profuse sweating.

After all, they had been watching her gaming streams as their entertainment for so long.

What was wrong with asking for a little payback this time?

She was already merciful not to hiss and scare them outright.

“It’s a rare weekend. After breakfast, I’ll go visit my uncle’s house. Time to freeload a meal.”

There would be no streaming today!

She would just ghost her viewers for the day.

It wasn’t like she was a professional streamer. She could stream whenever she felt like it.

Although Tang Lulu might take a bit of a hit.

After all, she was the only streamer who could collab with the elusive Yao Catty.

There might be a bunch of chaotic viewers flocking to her stream, but she should be able to handle it.

Even if she couldn’t, the Countermeasures Bureau was pulling the strings behind the scenes anyway.

“Hmm… I had Little Luo pass along that the swap ended yesterday, so I should be seen as the real Ye Yao today. But will they believe it?”

Anyway, Ye Yao was planning to have fun today. She was still going out as Ye Tong!

Except… she still had to play the part of the innocent, adorable little angel, Ye Yao.

It was time to keep piling pressure on the old-timers.

And today, she was going to put pressure on the head of the old-timers: the Countermeasures Bureau’s Director!

Time to go find him for some games.

Ye Yao brought Luo Jianhua and the others along and headed out.

High above.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi were still awake, having spent another sleepless night.

“Is she gone?”

Rеаԁ oո KаtReаⅾiոɡСαfе

Fu Qi looked at the message on his phone from Ye Yao, saying that she was coming over today. It stirred a vague unease in him.

Lou Wei shook his head.

“I’m not sure.”

Last night had been calm.

There were no fluctuations, nothing leaking at all.

They couldn’t tell if Ye Tong had swapped Ye Yao back.

Was the person out and about today the real Ye Yao?

Just like yesterday, there were no flaws to be found.

She still felt exactly like the real Ye Yao.

That pure temperament, that atmosphere of a well-behaved, sensible little girl.

No one could tell if it was an act or not.

That was how Ye Yao always was, but Ye Tong had been the same yesterday.

No one could spot the difference between them.

Not even the two Super S-rank Espers who had observed them for so long.

And today, Ye Yao was bringing her friends over, just like any other weekend.

Fu Qi had no choice but to face her and confirm for himself.

“Lou Wei, the intel is reliable, right? Ye Tong left yesterday. It should be the actual Ye Yao today.”

“Don’t look at me. Go confirm it yourself.”

How the tables had turned.

Yesterday, Lou Wei was the one under immense pressure. Today, it was Fu Qi’s turn.

And Fu Qi had to face it head-on. It was practically an even higher level of torment.

The boomerang had come back and hit Fu Qi square in the head.

Now, it was Lou Wei’s turn to watch the show and return all the pressure he had absorbed yesterday.

Fu Qi was silent for a moment.

“I might be able to compete for the world’s most melancholic man.”

“You can still joke. Guess the pressure isn’t heavy enough yet.”

Lou Wei’s gaze never left the ground below.

This time, on her way to the cafeteria, Ye Yao didn’t look up at the sky, nor did she cast that unusual glance.

Her words and actions were still flawless, radiating the essence of Ye Yao.

Had they really swapped back?

He hoped so.

Breakfast ended quickly.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ye Yao and her group headed straight for the residential area, aiming for her uncle’s house.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi followed covertly the whole way, still finding nothing out of place.

Her mental power value remained unchanged, still precise to the single digits.

Perhaps Ye Tong and Ye Yao had really swapped back.

It was just that the two of them hadn’t noticed.

The distance wasn’t far.

Ye Yao’s group quickly arrived at the familiar address.

“Auntie, I’m here!”

“Welcome! Have a seat on the sofa. I’ll get you some fruit and snacks. If you want to play games, feel free to turn on the equipment.”

Chen Wan Ting welcomed her, scooping Ye Yao up for an affectionate hug like it was natural.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Jing, she no longer felt the pressure Ye Tong brought.

Ye Tong could also feel wronged, and could also seek comfort from her family.

She had even gone to Xiao Jing to tattle.

In that case, how different were Ye Tong and Ye Yao?

They were both her nieces who needed love.

No matter if the Ye Yao here now was actually Ye Tong in disguise, Chen Wan Ting didn’t care.

It was just a little game between sisters.

She would just indulge them.

Thinking back, it was strange.

Initially, Fu Qi had brought her in to withstand the pressure, yet she ended up not feeling much of it at all.

Instead, she could spend time with these adorable little girls every week.

She felt that Fu Qi really did share the good stuff with his colleagues.

Although he still couldn’t escape the fact that he was a bit robotic.

“Auntie, where’s Uncle? I wanna play games with him.”

Ye Yao looked around.

“He should be back soon.”

“Really? He won’t come back only after we’ve eaten, will he?”

“Of course not. He’s off today.”

“Yay! I’ll wait for him then!”

Ye Yao sat contentedly on the sofa.

She glanced beside her.

Tu Sheng was still in her usual spot, reminiscent of the mysterious newspaper-reading man from before.

Every time they came, she was sitting on the sofa.

Ye Yao shuffled over closer to her.

She pulled up the affection value panel, selected Fang Tang to interact with, and initiated Spiritual Synchronization!

She opened a private chat.

【Don’t you have something to say to me?】

Tu Sheng’s voice soon came through.

【What can I say? I can’t just disturb your plans, can I?】

【You know what I’m up to?】

【Is it that hard to guess?】

Reαⅾ on KаtRеаⅾiոɡCаfe

Ye Yao mentally sucked in a breath.

Well… it didn’t seem to be that hard.

Ye Tong had never struck anyone as the type to settle down and behave.

She said it was one day, but anyone could guess that it might be false information.

It was just that until they confirmed it, everyone would remain suspicious.

After all, it was also possible that Ye Tong had been influenced by Ye Yao and might actually behave for once.

Just as Ye Yao was about to bring up something else, footsteps sounded outside.

The door opened, and Fu Qi seemingly returned.

Ye Yao looked over, a pure smile appearing on her face.

“Uncle, you’re back! Time to honor our deal and play games with me.”

“Ah, yeah…”

Fu Qi felt like his feet were being weighed down by lead.

Based on past intel, Ye Tong seemed to be able to read people’s minds, thereby acquiring vast amounts of information.

So, when facing Ye Tong, Fu Qi and Lou Wei usually sealed their minds to avoid being toyed with.

However, is the person in front of him really Ye Tong?

A mental power value of 300, that same endearing demeanor, and she even remembered the previous promise.

Fu Qi was a little confused.

Although his reaction was only a beat slow, Ye Yao immediately cast an innocent gaze his way.

“Uncle, why are you so cold to me? Did I do something wrong?”

Fu Qi’s body tensed.

He couldn’t tell! He really couldn’t tell them apart!
