Chapter 4: Mi Rin's True Face 3
"I can fly, teleport, read minds, see through things, and sometimes even have precognitive abilities. In addition, I have psychic powers, can see spirits, and can..."
The hands of the clock slipped past half an hour unknowingly, and Mi Lin's confession was still going on.
If I was amazed by Mi Rin's superpowers at the beginning, I was completely numb later on.
"Mi Lin, just tell me what superpowers you don't have!" I said weakly.
Mi Lin shook her head: "It seems that I have all the superpowers that humans can imagine. Now can you give me the strawberry milk pudding?"
I nodded weakly, and saw the strawberry milk pudding slowly float up and float towards the kitchen. After a while, I heard the sound of the refrigerator opening in the kitchen.
"Strawberry milk pudding tastes best when it's frozen cold. After many experiments, I found that it tastes best when it's frozen for three hours." Mi Lin, who usually has no expression, showed a very happy and expectant look at this moment.
I couldn't help but say, "It's just a strawberry milk pudding, but it can change you completely. It's incredible."
Mi Lin said seriously: "Because strawberry milk pudding is a food that brings happiness. Ah, that smooth texture, that fragrance mixed with a hint of sweetness..."
Seeing his intoxicated look, I finally asked him the question that had been lingering in my mind since yesterday.
"Mi Lin, you obviously have such powerful abilities, why haven't you thought about dominating the world? Even if you are not interested in controlling the earth, you can use these abilities to do anything easily, right? For example, strawberry milk pudding, countless money... But why do you hide your abilities and pretend to be ordinary and inconspicuous?" I asked Mi Lin curiously.
I started thinking about this question ever since I discovered Mi Lin's secret yesterday.
Humans are creatures with desires. From ancient times to the present, almost all people with strong abilities are ambitious. Even if a person is of noble character, regards money as dirt, and regards power as a joke, he will more or less use his own abilities to seek some benefits for himself.
Why didn't Mirin and his parents think of using these super powers to do anything? They don't have to live in this old house with decades of mortgage, Mirin's father doesn't have to rely on pleasing his boss to earn a meager salary, Mirin's mother doesn't have to do housework every day, and Mirin doesn't have to bend down to me, whom he looked down on before, for a strawberry fresh milk pudding.
Why do they want to live like this?
"Why?" Mi Lin touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Because it's troublesome."
"What?" I was stunned.
Mi Lin nodded affirmatively: "Yes, using superpowers can indeed easily accomplish many things and earn a lot of money, but it will bring a lot of trouble. It is better to be an ordinary person and have an easy life."
It took me three minutes to find my voice: "Can you tell me more?"
…
After a long silence, I looked at Mi Lin, whose face had become expressionless again without me noticing, and suddenly, a "ding" sound came into my mind and I understood what Mi Lin meant.
"Foolish mortal, I've already said enough for the sake of the Dream Strawberry Fresh Milk Pudding, but you're still asking more questions. It's really annoying."
——The above is what Mi Lin didn’t say out loud!
Don't ask me why I know this, because... woohoo, this is how I usually look at others! I never thought that there would be a day when I would be looked down upon, and what's worse is that I was completely speechless.
Because all the things I am proud of are meaningless in the eyes of Mi Lin, who is an omnipotent superman and even surpasses God in some sense!
But Mi Lin, don't think you can defeat me like this. I, Huang Yaxi, have gone through countless hardships to transform from an ordinary Cinderella to an acquired princess. I am not afraid of a mere cold face.
"Goodbye, I won't see you off!"
Mi Lin's voice sounded coldly in my mind, and then the scene in front of me suddenly distorted for a few seconds. When it returned to normal, I was already downstairs of Mi Lin's house, and then with a snap, the schoolbag fell from the sky and landed at my feet.
I narrowed my eyes and smiled: "Mi Lin, you dare to drive me out of your house in this way, very good, very good!"
Without hesitation, I took out my phone and started to make a call: "Hello, is this Shirakawa-san? I'm Huang Yaxi. Mi Lin is sick, and I hope everyone will come to visit him so that he can feel the warmth of the class and the love of his classmates. Can you help me tell everyone? Yes, I'm downstairs at Mi Lin's house now... Hehe, Shirakawa-san is so reliable!"
"Hello, is this Xiao Wu? Yes, I'm Ya Xi. Mi Lin didn't come to school today, and I plan to tutor him. Do you want to come? I've also called other classmates. What, Mi Lin's family is not welcome? Of course he's welcome. Because Mi Lin is too introverted, his parents have been very worried for a long time. When I told them that Mi Lin is actually quite popular in school and has a lot of friends, his parents were so excited that they cried. Yes, the more classmates come, the better..."
"Enough, stop calling, don't let them come, I surrender!" Just as I hung up Xiao Wu's phone and was about to make the next call, Mi Lin's voice rang in my mind.
I tried to reply in my head: "Milin?"
"I can hear you!" Mi Lin's voice sounded unhappily.
"Hehe, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What's wrong with you?" I asked with an evil smile.
"I surrender..." Mi Lin's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, bursting out word by word.
I almost laughed out loud: "Then do you dare to throw me out of your house ?"
"No……"
"Then are you willing to answer my question?"
"willing……"
"Will you listen to me in the future?"
"Huang Yaxi, don't go too far!" The communication was interrupted.
I stuck out my tongue, hehe, I think I've gone too far. But it's also quite satisfying to see Mi Rin, who always treats me like nothing, so angry.
"Hey, Shirakawa-san (Xiao Wu), I'm so sorry, Mi Rin seems to have a fever and needs to rest, so my suggestion just now is forgotten."
After I finished the call, I immediately rushed to Mi Lin's door. The door that I had damaged had been restored to its original state. I raised my hand and was about to knock on the door, but it creaked open and Mi Lin's voice rang in my mind: "Come in."
When I walked into Mi Lin's house, Mi Lin's mother, who was lying on the sofa, opened her eyes and sat up. When she saw me, she said in surprise, "Classmate Huang, are you here to play? Eh..." She held her head and said in confusion, "Why do I always feel that today is not the first time I have seen classmate Huang?"
I remembered the tragedy that happened before when I failed to control my strength and caused her and the door to fly into the wall. I smiled guiltily and said, "Haha, you must be mistaken. This is my first time here."
"Eh, is that so?" Mi Lin's mother tilted her head and thought hard, and finally gave up, "I can't remember it, so I must have made a mistake. Huang, do you want tea or juice?"
"It's all right." I smiled sweetly and hurried towards Mi Lin's room.
Mi Lin turned into a otaku again, sitting on the computer chair and looking at me with a very ugly face: "Actually, I can't understand why you have to stare at me. You obviously hate ordinary people, especially those who are obsessed with you, you stay away from them. If you thought I would tell others about your embarrassing things at first, and then I explained it clearly, why don't you give up?"
His words left me stunned.
Yeah, why do I always have to pay attention to him?
But his words reminded me of something: "Mi Lin, since you are an omnipotent superman, why don't you use your superpowers to influence my thoughts and make me stop paying attention to you? This should be easy for you, right?"
Mi Lin said calmly, "I underestimated the mentality of women. I thought your attention would only last a few days at most, so I didn't take it seriously. Besides, any superpower has its pros and cons. If you would have forgotten me quickly, but because of something I inadvertently did when I was influencing you, it would have deepened your impression of me, then the gain would be worth the loss."
He was so sure when he spoke that I almost believed him, but then I suddenly remembered what happened in the bedroom that day, and I was suddenly filled with doubts: "Are you lying?"
"No, I didn't lie." He said confidently.
I stared into his eyes and said, "Do you dare to look me in the eye and say you are not lying?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Mi Lin looked at me.
Ten seconds later, he looked away in embarrassment and said, "Okay, I admit it. I lied."
He pushed up his glasses to calm himself down and said, "You seem to have a power beyond that of ordinary people, which makes some of my super powers ineffective on you."
"Like amnesia?" I recalled the warmth that came from his hand that day and couldn't help but exclaim.
Mi Rin nodded helplessly: "Not only that, but also, when I was hugged by you, I couldn't use teleportation."
Hearing Mi Lin's words, I said in confusion: "But when I saw you were about to disappear and hugged you, didn't you still use the ability of teleportation?"
"Yes, I did use teleportation when I left your bedroom. But because you suddenly hugged me, my ability went out of control. I had already activated the teleportation before you hugged me, so it was still effective..." Mi Lin said almost angrily, "But it caused a strange distortion in my destination, so we ended up on the plane. When you hugged me again later, I couldn't use teleportation at all. It wasn't until I pushed you away and grabbed you again that I could use this ability again. This is the first time this has happened. It's already weird enough for me, but you are immune to 'amnesia'..."
He held his head, as if he had suffered a serious blow: "There must be some reason, otherwise my ability would not be ineffective!"
Seeing his distressed look, I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Does that mean I'm also a superman?"
"How is that possible!" Mi Lin rolled his eyes at me, "You might just be an insulator."
Insulator? The image of black rubber band immediately came to my mind.
Bah, bah, I'm not such an ugly thing!
"Why did you disappear in shock again that day? What happened?" I remembered another thing.
"Because the glasses are broken." Mi Lin pointed at the glasses he was wearing and said, "This pair of glasses is a special device used to restrain my ability. It limits my strength to a certain range, and then I learn to control my strength within this range. Without it, I don't know how much power I can exert."
I thought about it and understood: "You mean maybe your strength is infinite, and even you don't know how much damage a palm strike can cause. But after wearing glasses, your strength is limited to 100 kilograms, and then you learn to control this 100 kilograms of strength, right?"
"That's right." Mi Lin raised her hand casually, and a cement brick appeared in her hand. "For example, this is telekinesis. After wearing the glasses, I know that I can only get things that are a hundred meters away, and I can't get things that are farther away. But if I don't wear glasses, maybe I can get things that are thirty thousand kilometers away."
Yesterday’s events quickly replayed in my mind, finally freezing on the scene of Mi Lin swinging her fist.
"Mi Rin..." My voice turned sinister, "As a boy, you actually want to use violence against a weak woman like me? That's too much! You are so bad."
"Weak woman?" Mi Lin raised her eyes, glanced at me sideways, and repeated these three words in a mocking manner.
I remembered my own divine power, swallowed a little guiltily, and straightened my chest and said, "That's right! Compared to you, I am an ordinary girl who is as weak as can be. Don't you have any gentlemanly manners at all?"
Mi Lin pushed up his glasses and said coldly: "What is gentlemanly manners? Can you eat it?"
"You!" I glared at him, and then...
Snap!
He actually took out his phone, turned it on camera mode and took a picture of me with my eyes crossed.
"Don't bother me anymore, otherwise..." He raised the photos in his hand, "I will spread them to everyone. If they knew that the most perfect princess in the legend, Huang Yaxi, would have such an expression, your legend would be shattered."
I pointed a trembling finger at him: "You...you actually threatened me?"
Mi Lin turned a deaf ear to my words, picked up a book and turned her back to me.
I stared at him for a while, then stormed out of the house. As I rushed out of his house, I heard Mi Lin's mother's kind voice behind me: "Is Huang leaving soon? I just squeezed some fresh juice...Okay, come and play next time!"
Woo woo woo, I almost ran home in tears.
Damn Mi Lin, you and I cannot coexist!
