No… …Actually… …" Howard sighed and said dejectedly, "Okay, I am indeed a little uncomfortable. That Zhou guy is here again… …He stole my precious daughter again!"
"… …Dear 1!" Maria walked to Howard's side, gently hugged him, and said, "Isn't it a good thing that more people love our baby?"
"But… …" Howard admitted that his wife was right, but he was just unwilling to have his daughter's attention stolen by Zhou.
"I think this is a good thing, dear!" Maria said, "We don't know how long we will be able to accompany our daughter in the future. Isn't it a good thing to have someone who can be her mentor in life and support her?"
"But that Zhou guy is obviously as old as me… …"
"But you don't have Zhou's magical skills… …"
"Okay, okay, I admit it. That guy can still cause girls to scream when he walks on the street, but I have to shout outside that I am [Howard] to make some middle-aged women scream… …This is the biggest difference between us!"
Howard admitted defeat. Maybe his wife was right. His daughter really needed a mentor who could support her through her life. Obviously, that person would definitely not be himself… …
From this moment on, Howard completely defaulted to Zhou Ye's management rights over his daughter… …and devoted all his energy to scientific research.
In fact, he was also holding back a surge of energy. He couldn't compare to Zhou Ye in terms of body and appearance, but he wanted to make his daughter proud of him in terms of technology… …
When his daughter was mentioned, Howard hoped that she would have a proud expression on her face… …
I have to say, Howard is really a stupid stay-at-home dad—
Chapter 404
Time passed unknowingly, and it was already the 1980s—
Now the streets are full of punk men and women with exploding hair. For Zhou Ye, he really doesn't like this so-called punk fashion. It looks like golden retrievers who have been electrocuted… …
"Baby, are you ready?" Zhou Ye, wearing a suit, uncomfortably tugged at his tie. To be honest, he hadn't worn a suit for many years, and he himself had forgotten how many years it had been. Perhaps because of the problems left over from being a supermodel, Zhou Ye hated the restraint of suits.
But today, he had to put on his hated suit and wear a pair of old and ugly black-rimmed glasses… …
Because today is the day his goddaughter, Natasha Stark, starts high school. Howard sent his daughter to Zhou Ye's manor in Los Angeles, California, because he was busy with experiments.
Although Nina herself believed that with her IQ, she didn't need to go to high school anymore, her father Howard obviously didn't think so. Howard said this to her.
"My daughter, although you have inherited my excellent genes and gained a super high IQ, but, baby, believe me, going to school is not just for learning the knowledge on paper, but more often, it is for learning the ability to get along with people!"
So… …Nina, escorted by her own butler, came to Los Angeles—to her godfather's manor. She will spend her high school life here. To be honest, she hates going to school.
"Godfather—you know, I hate going to school!" Nina, wearing a gorgeous princess dress, hugged Zhou Ye's arm and desperately acted coquettishly.
"I'm afraid not. When your father called me, he asked me to send you there!" Zhou Ye looked at his goddaughter, whose figure was already taking shape, spread his hands, indicating that he was also very helpless… …
"Okay… …" Nina said helplessly. Although she was only thirteen years old this year… …she didn't think she had anything in common with the little kids in high school, but since her godfather said so, then there was probably no room for discussion.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Ye said, taking Nina's hand and walking towards the door.
The motorcade had been waiting at the door for a long time… …
Nina, with a pout on her small mouth, reluctantly got into the car. Today was her registration day for school, otherwise Zhou Ye would not have sent her to school.
The motorcade was driving smoothly on the highway, perhaps because of the morning rush hour, so there were especially many vehicles… …
The motorcade was finally blocked at an intersection… …It seemed that an accident had occurred in front, and all the roads were blocked… …From time to time, police officers in police uniforms were helping to evacuate the vehicles… …
"Shouldn't I take a helicopter to school?" Zhou Ye looked helplessly at the endless stream of vehicles in front and mocked himself.
"No, don't do that, Godfather!" Nina complained. "If you do that, I won't be able to make friends at school, although I never wanted to make any friends at all!"
"… …" Zhou Ye was a little speechless.
Perhaps because of the boredom caused by the traffic jam, Zhou Ye opened his car window. Coincidentally, in a car next to him, there was also a family preparing to send their daughter to school.
"Susan, baby, believe me, I promise to arrive at school one second before your graduation ceremony starts!" The father who was driving was swearing to his daughter sitting in the back seat.
"But if you hadn't sent Joe to school first, I wouldn't have encountered such bad luck!" A beautiful blonde girl complained.
"Susan, he is your brother, you have to let him have it!" The mother sitting in the passenger seat taught.
"It's always Joe… …Joe's… …" Just like all families with younger brothers, Susan now hates her younger brother who has taken away her parents' attention.
"… …Eh—!" Zhou Ye saw the girl's profile and suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Why does this girl look so familiar? Where have I seen her before? This… …isn't this the Invisible Woman Susan Stone?
I only knew that she had studied at MIT, but I never knew that she was actually from California and lived in Los Angeles… …This is really an unexpected surprise.
"Godfather?" Nina, who was sitting next to Zhou Ye, saw his expression and couldn't help but look in the direction he was looking. "Oh, no. Godfather, are you starting to target fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls now?"
"Cough cough… …How is that possible!" Zhou Ye coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't you think she looks very cute?"
"… …I don't know if she's cute or not!" Nina said a little sourly in her heart, "But I know that you are hitting on her… …Godfather, I have to remind you that your age is enough to be her grandfather… …Also, she should find a boy of her own age to fall in love with, instead of finding a man who is old enough to be her grandfather… …"
"… …Don't you feel guilty when you say this?" Zhou Ye said, pressing the button to raise the car window, then took off the old and ugly black-rimmed glasses he was wearing, and stared at his adopted daughter, "Baby, tell me… …Do I really look very old?"
"… …No… …" Facing Zhou Ye's handsome face, Nina couldn't say anything derogatory. "Okay, okay… …I admit you're not old… …But, people seem to be younger… …"
"… …It's okay, in two years she will look older than me!" Zhou Ye said with a smile, then took out a miniature camera from his pocket, opened a gap in the car window slightly, and took a side photo of Susan Stone… …
"What are you doing? Godfather?" Nina asked curiously, looking at Zhou Ye's actions.
"Of course I'm picking her up… …" Zhou Ye said without hesitation, "Now, we need to understand her information first… …"
As the words [Upload Successful] were displayed on the personal terminal in his hand, soon, all of Susan Stone's information from childhood to adulthood appeared on Zhou Ye's terminal.
"Oh, a top student… …" Zhou Ye smiled as he looked at Susan's information in his hand, "Hey, Nina, she seems to be your future classmate… …"
"Oh no… …" Nina couldn't help but cover her cheeks… …"Godfather, you will cause a stain on my life… …How will I explain in the future that my godfather picked up my classmate… …?"
"Isn't that easy to explain… …Because of love!" Zhou Ye joked with a smile.
"No… …Absolutely not!" Nina said, "Unless you promise me not to go to school, otherwise I will definitely ruin you… …, Godfather, I mean what I say!"
"It's impossible not to go to school… …" Zhou Ye curled his lips, his goddaughter wanted to negotiate terms with him again. "But I can consider letting you try the MIT entrance exam. If you pass, I will be responsible for explaining to Howard why you are attending university instead of high school!"
"Deal… …!" Nina said happily.
Although she didn't completely avoid the occurrence of going to school, university is after all much freer than high school… …and it won't delay her research projects.
At this time, the accident in front seemed to be dealt with, and the traffic jam, which had formed a long queue, began to move slowly.
"Since I don't have to go to school… …why not just turn around and go back?" Nina said dissatisfied, "Don't tell me, Godfather, you plan to go back on your word?"
"Of course not… …" Zhou Ye said, changing clothes in the carriage… …taking off his suit and putting on a well-fitting casual sportswear.
"… …No matter how many times I see it… …I still think this is a work of art created by God!" Nina reached out and gently stroked the beauty of the strength on her godfather's body, but not so prominent muscles, and exclaimed, "No wonder after you went swimming with Dad last time, he never swam with you again… …"
"Little pervert, have you touched enough?" Zhou Ye smiled and said, "If you've touched enough, put your hand down, I'm going to put on my clothes… …"
Alright, alright…" Nina dejectedly lowered her hand. "It's just a touch…"
"Touching is fine, but I don't want to go to school registration shirtless. After all, I used to be a model student in school, you know?"
"What's a model student? Does American schools even have that?" Nina was about to retort when her expression suddenly froze. She looked at her godfather in disbelief and said, "What did you say? You're going to school?… Oh my god, tell me, Godfather, this isn't real!"
"Of course…" Zhou Ye, having changed his clothes, tousled his hair slightly with his hand, then faced Nina with a sunny smile, saying, "Don't I look like a high school student?"
"…Oh no, heavens…!" Nina felt her godfather's integrity had shattered into pieces… This guy was actually willing to go back to high school just to chase girls. Although she had seen how shameless her godfather could be when chasing girls before, this was the first time he was going this far.
"I think you're right!" Zhou Ye laughed. "That girl really should find someone her own age, like me!"
"…Oh, no…" Nina covered her cheeks with her hands…
To be honest, she felt a little strange at this moment, a little sour, and a little amused… But, overall, she still felt very unhappy, and she even hated Susan Stone.
But Nina knew that although her godfather usually seemed cheerful and kind to everyone, when he made up his mind, he would not change it… No one could change his mind, not her godmothers, and certainly not her…
Chapter 405
St. Paul's Private High School is the most famous private high school in the Los Angeles area. It is known for its strong faculty, rigorous scholarship, and strict management. It also maintains academic exchanges with many Ivy League universities.
Attending high school here is basically equivalent to stepping into the gate of a university…
Therefore, it is very popular among the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie, and it can be said to be their first choice… The tuition here is naturally not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and many parents are willing to be taken for a ride and send their children here to study.
Of course, in order to ensure its reputation, St. Paul's Private High School will also make an exception for students with excellent grades, exempting them from high education costs in order to attract talented students to join.
In the principal's office of St. Paul's Private High School, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline was personally receiving a distinguished guest… This distinguished guest was recommended by the school's board of directors, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Mr. Zhou, isn't it? What you're doing is making it very difficult for me…" Principal Burton explained while wiping the sweat from his forehead, "This year's new student admission plan has already been reported to the state government…"
"You don't need to worry about the state government. Someone will take care of it!" Zhou Ye said, crossing his legs and sitting on the reception sofa. "Right now, I'm just asking you to arrange for me to enter the school. Is that really so difficult?"
"No… of course not. As long as there are no problems with the state government, I naturally have no problems here!" Burton wiped his sweat and said with an expression of loyalty, "Then, may I ask which class you would like to attend?"
"Hmm…" Zhou Ye held the freshman roster in his hand, searching for a certain name. Soon, he found the answer he wanted. He pointed to a name among them called Susan Stone. "I'll be in the same class as her!"
"No problem… I'll have this class's homeroom teacher take you to the classroom right away…" Burton really wanted to send this master away as soon as possible.
As he spoke, Burton picked up the phone in his hand and dialed the teachers' room directly. "Have Cindy come to my office, yes, now, immediately, right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Burton said with a flattering smile, "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
"Mm!" Zhou Ye nodded noncommittally, picked up the coffee in his hand, took a light sip, and couldn't help but frown. It was too bitter… It was far from his taste.
"I'll have someone change it for you right away!" Burton, who had been observing his expression, immediately flattered him.
"No need…" Zhou Ye put down the coffee in his hand and then began to wait quietly. After all… he had no interest in chatting with an old man.
Coincidentally, this school was actually controlled by a subsidiary of the Umbrella Corporation… That's why he could enjoy such extraordinary treatment. Now he understood how far his Umbrella Enterprise had extended its tentacles…
Soon, a middle-aged woman with black-rimmed glasses walked in. "Principal, did you need something from me?"
"Teacher Cindy, this is a new student in your class. He missed the opening ceremony due to some matters, and now you are responsible for taking him to your class!"
"Alright!" Teacher Cindy sized up Zhou Ye, and her first impression of this handsome young man could be said to be extremely good…
"Please come with me!" Cindy said to Zhou Ye, turned around, and walked out of the principal's office.
"Okay! Teacher!" Zhou Ye smiled and nodded to the principal, then followed Teacher Cindy out…
"What's your name? Did something happen at home?" Cindy asked curiously as they walked down the corridor.
"My name is Zhou Ye, teacher!" Zhou Ye said respectfully, "Actually, it's not that something happened at home, it's just because of traffic, so…"
"Are you of Chinese descent?" Cindy couldn't help but stop and carefully examine Zhou Ye when she heard his words. Blond hair and golden eyes, she couldn't see how Zhou Ye was of Chinese descent at all.
"Yes, I am of Chinese descent!" Zhou Ye smiled.
"Then I guess you have a quarter of Chinese blood or less…" Cindy said in a gossipy manner.
"…" Zhou Ye was too lazy to explain. How could he explain that he was a full-blooded Chinese? Forget it, Zhou Ye didn't want to explain anymore…
"Why not get an English name?" Cindy asked as she walked. "After all, Chinese people will still be somewhat ostracized in school!"
"Family rules!" Zhou Ye said this sentence and was too lazy to say anything else.
"I've heard that there are always all kinds of rules in those ancient Chinese families… Is your family like that too?" Teacher Cindy was about to turn into a hundred thousand whys.
"…Inconvenient to say…" Zhou Ye couldn't help but want to ask, are you really white? Aren't you a black girl hiding inside a white skin, where do so many whys come from…
What Zhou Ye didn't know was that this Teacher Cindy was known as a young boy killer… It's what you think… It's just that she does it very secretly, so few people know her true face, but now it seems that she has an extraordinary interest in Zhou Ye…
When Zhou Ye couldn't bear Cindy anymore, the two finally arrived at their destination, a small classroom.
The United States uses a credit system, and there are no real classes, but there are teachers in charge of management. In fact, their duties are equivalent to the role of a nanny.
Now these students are talking about the courses they have chosen, and when their guidance teachers will come here to collect the elective forms in their hands.
"…Okay, everyone, let me introduce a new classmate to you!" Cindy walked to the podium and patted the desk and said: "This… classmate Ye Zhou will spend three wonderful high school years with everyone, please welcome…"
"Wow—handsome guy!!"
"Oh my god, there's actually such a handsome boy with the same guidance teacher as me, I'm already… no, I can't tell that bitch Jane this news…"
"For the first time, I feel that good things can happen when going to school…"
Of course, those who made such sighs were the girls in the class, while the boys each said sourly.
"Tch, a Chinese?"
"Oh no… I can already foresee that I will spend a hellish high school time!"
"…Hey, monkey, can you climb trees?"
"Huh?" Zhou Ye immediately noticed the boy who said this, a burly white youth who looked more like a fitness coach than a student, sitting in the seat next to Susan. When Zhou Ye came in just now, it seemed that this guy was still trying to woo Susan, but Susan didn't seem to pay much attention to him…
"You… what did you just say?" Zhou Ye walked up to the boy with a smile and asked.
"I'm asking if you can climb trees, monkey, aren't you Chinese? Aren't Chinese all yellow-skinned monkeys?" The boy said nonchalantly.
"Whether I can climb trees is not important, what is important is that I know you can climb trees!" Zhou Ye said, pressing down on the boy's head.
With a bang, his head was slammed **** into his desk, and the entire wooden desk was shattered…
Then he grabbed the boy's collar, dragged him directly to the window, opened the window, and threw him into the tree fork…
Looking at the stupid x hanging on the tree fork, Zhou Ye smiled, curled his lips, and said: "Look, you have now learned to climb trees, don't go around looking for your own kind in the future, we are human, we don't associate with apes!"
The students in the entire class were as quiet as cicadas in winter, their eyes wide with fear as they looked at Zhou Ye… They never imagined that such a handsome young man could be so violent…
"Pfft—" A snicker in this atmosphere was particularly jarring. Zhou Ye followed the sound and looked over. Well, he couldn't hit this one. It was Susan giggling.
"Do you find it funny?" Zhou Ye came to her side and asked.
"No… I just think your adjective was excellent. The word 'gorilla' suits that guy very well!" Susan said with a smile. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid of Zhou Ye, but she seemed to have a kind of intuition that Zhou Ye wouldn't hurt her…
"Thank you for the compliment…" Zhou Ye smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Zhou Ye. You can call me Ye. My friends all call me that!"
"Hello, my name is Susan Stone. Of course, you can also call me Susan, or Sue!" Susan generously shook Zhou Ye's hand and smiled, "Nice to meet you. I've finally found an interesting person in this peaceful high school!"
"Of course, I think so too!" Zhou Ye thought evilly, Soon you'll be even happier to know me…
The two of them chatted there as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the other students in the entire class, and even more so, ignoring Cindy, who ran out like a rabbit to check on that gorilla.
Susan didn't know how serious things were, while Zhou Ye didn't care at all… Just a small, self-inflicted, racist piece of trash. If he didn't want to stay in school and pursue Susan, Zhou Ye would have killed him already…
Of course, not killing him now doesn't mean nothing will happen to him tonight. Maybe he'll have a car accident on the road? Maybe he'll be shot by someone by accident? Who can say for sure about such natural and man-made disasters?
Zhou Ye guarantees that he has absolutely nothing to do with those things. He just taught someone a lesson. At most, it's just a fight. Besides, he has a complete alibi and witnesses… Most importantly, he has money.
In the US, having money means having everything… This is the truth!
Chapter 406
From this day on, Zhou Ye began his American high school life…
Of course, with his knowledge reserves, these high school subjects couldn't stump him at all. Besides, he didn't come here to study anyway…
The Next Day—In the Classroom—
"Morning, Zhou." Susan smiled at Zhou Ye, who was yawning as he walked towards her. "Which classroom are you going to for class later?"
"Haa—! Morning, Susan." Zhou Ye yawned widely and said somewhat groggily, "Probably the third math classroom in the West Building… I seem to remember it's there!"
"What a coincidence, I'm going there too…" Susan smiled upon hearing Zhou Ye's words. "What did you do last night? Why are you so sleepy so early?"
"Had a party last night… stayed up very late…" Zhou Ye slumped on his desk, lacking energy. Last night, that little traitor Nina actually told all his women about him going to school through the internal network…
Last night, that group of women all gathered at the Los Angeles manor, some to question him, like Peggy—some to mock Zhou Ye's morals, like Pandora… and some to watch the excitement, like the women from the dance troupe, Gu Yi, and Natasha…
In the end, Zhou Ye used his magic weapon, the papapa divine skill… defeating the women one by one. However, the women strictly forbade Zhou Ye from using his evil technique [Instant Kill], so Zhou Ye had to spend some time pacifying them all. After pacifying them, it was almost four in the morning…
Although Zhou Ye doesn't need to sleep, but… habit is habit. Zhou Ye, who is already used to sleeping, is still very sleepy at this time…
"Hopefully not those messy parties…" Susan looked at Zhou Ye, who was resting on the table, and couldn't help but say what she was thinking. She just didn't want to see this Chinese teenager attending those messy parties…
"Don't worry, the people attending the party are all my family members. If there's a chance, you're welcome to attend our family party too…" Although he was in a drowsy state, Zhou Ye still heard Susan's words and said casually.
"Really… Can I also attend your family party?" Susan asked with some surprise.
You must know that in the US, some parties are quite private, and only those who are recognized members are qualified to participate, such as family parties. These parties generally only invite friends who are extremely close to them… like, girlfriends.
"Of course, I believe my family will definitely be very happy to see you!" Zhou Ye forced himself to perk up and said these words before slumping down there to catch up on sleep. "Okay, Sue, let me sleep well… Wake me up when class starts later!"
"Okay…" Susan put down the textbook she was studying. She was just about to say another word to Zhou Ye, but found that this guy had completely fallen asleep…
However, Zhou Ye who is asleep is also very good-looking… Really like a painting.
Susan propped her cheek with her right hand, looking at Zhou Ye's sleeping face, and couldn't help but be a little dazed…
Last night, she happily told her family about what she saw and heard at school when she got home, especially her younger brother. When he heard that Zhou Ye crushed a desk with one blow, he was so excited that he was about to come over and become an apprentice.
You must know that he hates big guys the most, probably because he had his girlfriend stolen by the captain of the school's football team…
Of course, the excited future Human Torch was stopped by his sister. Susan didn't want to bring this stupid younger brother to school…
Just imagining the scene of her younger brother immediately pestering Zhou Ye to become an apprentice as soon as he saw him, Susan couldn't help but want to cover her face… That scene was too beautiful, she couldn't bear to look.
Thinking about what happened last night, Susan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile. At this time, the school bell rang. It was already 8:15. The first class was about to begin, and they had to go to the large classroom immediately for class.
"Zhou? Wake up, it's time for class…" Susan gently shook Zhou Ye's shoulder, calling him. "We need to change classrooms, Zhou…"
"Don't make noise, let me sleep a little longer…" Zhou Ye was in a state of semi-consciousness at this time, and habitually raised his hand to hug Susan. This was really not intentional, just a habitual action.
"..." Susan was startled all of a sudden, but looking at the handsome face so close at hand, her heart began to beat faster.
Don't say that men are lustful, in fact, women are the same. For Susan, Zhou Ye is a masterpiece… of course, just a metaphor.
Looking at Zhou Ye's lips so close, Susan, like a child who had done something bad, gently printed them over… a fleeting touch—
After doing these things, Susan, like a child who had done something bad, raised her head and looked at the classroom. Although she knew that there was actually no one in the classroom just now, she still couldn't help but want to look again, just like a thief, afraid of being discovered.
Listening to the gradually calming corridor, Susan knew that she couldn't delay any longer… She didn't know where the courage came from, and with a lift of her hand, she put Zhou Ye's hand on her shoulder, half-hugging and half-carrying Zhou Ye, and walked out of the classroom…
"I didn't expect you, you're unexpectedly light…" Susan walked while holding Zhou Ye, complaining to relieve her nervousness.
"Yeah, thank you…"
"Wow—"
Zhou Ye's sudden response made Susan couldn't help but throw him out… Looking at Zhou Ye, who was innocently thrown on the ground by herself, Susan cautiously asked: "You… when did you wake up?"
"Just now…" Zhou Ye scratched his head and stretched out his hand, saying: "Help me, you know, I just woke up, and I'm still a little weak…"
"...Then… do you know everything?" Susan asked somewhat guiltily.
"What?" Zhou Ye asked with a blank face: "What do I know?"
"Uh—nothing…" Susan patted her chest, stretched out her hand to grab Zhou Ye, and wanted to pull him up. "Actually… uh, nothing, you were just talking in your sleep just now…"
In fact, Zhou Ye was completely awake when he habitually hugged Susan, but he was a little afraid that Susan would be embarrassed, so he kept pretending to be asleep…
Hearing Susan's answer, Zhou Ye almost laughed to the point of cramping his stomach. This pure girl is too bad at hiding her emotions. If her cheeks weren't so red, maybe it would be a bit convincing.
"Really? What did I say?" Zhou Ye said, pulling Susan into his arms… "Then did I secretly kiss you?"
"...You…you…you were awake just now…?" Susan widened her eyes. She felt like she was about to die of shame… It was too embarrassing to steal a kiss from someone and be caught. "Sorry… I just… just…"
"No need to apologize…" Zhou Ye said, blocking Susan's words with his hand, staring at her blue eyes, and said: "Just a kiss isn't like this, but like this…"
"Mmm—!" Susan didn't have time to speak, and Zhou Ye blocked her lips. The look in her eyes changed, from disbelief to softening, from softening to infatuation, from infatuation to completely closing her eyes and fully immersing herself…
If it wasn't for a passing school worker who woke the two of them up, maybe they would have skipped class for the first period…
Of course, it's not much better now. When the two arrived at the math classroom, it was almost ten minutes into the class…
Fortunately, all the teachers had been warned by the principal, and no one dared to make Zhou Ye stand outside, and Susan was also pardoned. After all, favoritism can't be too obvious.
Chapter 407
Noon, during the school's long break — in the school cafeteria.
"Ye, you're killing me…" Susan gripped her spoon, stirring the mashed potatoes in front of her vigorously. Although they were already very mashed, it was clear that Susan was venting her anger on them.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ye sat next to Susan, casually putting his arm around her slender waist, and asked.
"I'm about to become the public enemy of all the girls in the school…" Susan looked at the girls in the cafeteria who were giving her unfriendly looks, on the verge of tears… "I don't think I'll be able to make any female friends in my three years of high school…"
"Don't worry about those looks, darling!" Zhou Ye whispered in her ear with a smile, "If you always care about what others think, you'll find that no matter what you do, you can't make everyone like you… So just be happy yourself, Susan darling!"
"But…" Although Susan wanted to refute, she found that she couldn't refute Zhou Ye's words. No one can satisfy everyone. "Okay, maybe you're right… But, my poor high school life, am I just not going to make a single friend?"
"Believe me, baby, true friends will only bless you, not be jealous!" Zhou Ye continued to instill his philosophy into Susan. "At least you still have me, don't you?"
"Okay…" Susan sighed and said, "I only have you now! If you ever dare to dump me, I'll cut off your little buddy and hang it above the school gate, and write a line: The fate of a heartbreaker —"
"...Believe me, baby, that day will never come!" Zhou Ye felt a chill down below when he heard Susan's words. Damn, this girl is so fierce…
Looking at Zhou Ye's somewhat stiff expression, Susan giggled. As clever as she was, although she was intoxicated when Zhou Ye was kissing her… later she realized that this guy was so skilled, she wouldn't believe he didn't have a girlfriend before, even if she was beaten to death.
But she was too lazy to pursue these things. She believed that she would definitely be able to completely conquer Zhou Ye… What mysterious confidence. If she knew that many women had fallen into the pit with this kind of thinking, she might have turned around and left, and wouldn't be with this guy no matter what.
The lateness incident in the morning —
The incident of sitting together in every class —
The incident of even eating together during lunch break —
These things made the two of them become the default couple in the eyes of other students. After all, Zhou Ye caused a sensation on the first day of school. Many older girls couldn't help but run to their classroom door, wanting to see how delicious this newly enrolled young man was.
But unexpectedly, before they could take action, Zhou Ye had already been snatched away… How could they be willing to accept this…
Therefore, many actions against Susan were being planned in secret, such as isolating her?
But obviously, Susan and Zhou Ye were in a state of lovey-dovey, so isolation was simply deliberately creating opportunities for them to be alone.
If one plan didn't work, another was hatched.
Someone deliberately blocked Susan in the women's restroom… However, when Susan habitually shouted Zhou Ye's name, these girls truly saw someone's power…
Zhou Ye rushed directly into the women's restroom and taught those women a lesson… Actually, he didn't hit them too hard, it's just that a few instigators were hospitalized…
And when those who didn't participate in this matter were excitedly waiting for the school to give Zhou Ye a punishment, the school's handling of the matter shocked them.
[In view of the fact that student Zhou Ye promptly stopped a campus bullying incident, the school decided to award student Zhou Ye the St. Paul First Class Scholarship, hoping that other students will learn from student Zhou Ye and jointly create a good teaching environment for the school.]
The above is the school's attitude… The parents of those injured girls were dissatisfied and threatened the principal to submit articles to the newspaper and file a joint lawsuit…
But before they could file a lawsuit… their families went bankrupt, those who were fired were fired, and the newspaper they submitted to also closed down… So, this matter ended without a conclusion.
After this incident, these students truly realized someone's potential power… Each of them was as well-behaved as a kitten, and no one dared to mess with Zhou Ye anymore.
One week later —
After lunch, Susan followed Zhou Ye towards the top of the school's administration building.
"Where are we going? Ye!" Susan asked, holding Zhou Ye's hand.
"At noon, of course, we need to take a nap…" Zhou Ye replied with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to a fun place…"
"Okay… But you're not allowed to do anything to me that I don't want to do…" Susan said while obediently following Zhou Ye.
She had to say that, because there were several times when she almost lost her ground… There was no way, a certain playboy's methods were too tricky. If Susan hadn't relied on her superhuman willpower, she might have fallen into Zhou Ye's arms long ago.
"Of course…" Zhou Ye said solemnly, "I promise I won't force you… darling!"
"...I'd be a fool to believe you…" When she said this, Susan's face was completely red. There were many times when she almost couldn't help it, but a trace of obsession in her heart made it difficult for her to let go of everything and give herself to Zhou Ye.
It wasn't that Zhou Ye wasn't good to her, nor that Zhou Ye wasn't good enough, but that everything came too suddenly, so suddenly that Susan felt unbelievable. She always felt that she couldn't see clearly the man she loved deeply in front of her…
She felt very insecure… Although Zhou Ye protected her very well, this sense of security was different from the so-called sense of security. It was because Zhou Ye was too perfect that she had a dreamlike sense of insecurity… She was afraid that she would suddenly lose Zhou Ye, lose this man that she already deeply loved and couldn't extricate herself from…
She was even afraid that after Zhou Ye had completely obtained her, he would completely disappear from her life… Therefore, she was holding on to the last line of defense… wanting to drag this guy along. This could be considered a woman's little trick.
Susan followed Zhou Ye to the small garden on the roof. This was the principal's private territory, but now it belonged to Zhou Ye…
"This place is very beautiful…" Susan looked at the surrounding green plants, and then looked up at the distant scenery — she couldn't help but say happily, "Ye, you're really good at finding places!"
"Susan darling, you're afraid… Tell me, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Ye had already seen Susan's melancholy, so he took this opportunity to call her to a deserted place to unravel the doubts in his heart.
"Ye, what nonsense are you talking about… How could I be afraid…" Susan didn't dare to look Zhou Ye in the eyes, her eyes wandering around.
"Look into my eyes and tell me, baby, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me?" Zhou Ye held Susan's cheeks and asked softly.
"Yes, I'm afraid…" Susan looked into Zhou Ye's eyes and finally couldn't help but burst out the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time. "You never tell me where your home is… You never take me to see your parents, and you never introduce your friends to me… All I know about you is a name, a name that only knows how to be omnipotent… Tell me, how can I not be afraid… Darling, I'm really scared… I'm afraid that one day you will leave me, afraid that I will wake up one day and find that you have never appeared in my world, and everything is just my fantasy… I'm really… really… scared… Because… I love you!"
Chapter 408
"...Uh, this is really a difficult thing to solve…" Zhou Ye felt that Susan's words were really difficult to handle. It would be foolish to reveal everything, but he could reveal a little bit, and then wait until he got her, and she couldn't run away, then reveal everything…
"Tell me, Ye, I want to know you, I want to understand you, because I'm too afraid of losing you…" Susan's tone even carried a hint of pleading…
"Okay… girl, are you ready to understand the truth of this world?" Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Wait… I'm not ready yet…" Susan said, taking deep breaths. She was doing psychological self-construction…
After taking a few deep breaths, Susan nodded vigorously and said to Zhou Ye, "I'm ready!"
"If I tell you, baby, that this world is not as peaceful as you see it, would you think I'm talking nonsense?" Zhou Ye said, gently pointing his hand in the air, and suddenly, the sound of glass breaking rang out.
"Where did the sound come from…" Susan looked at Zhou Ye, and then at herself. There was no change? "Where is the world different?"
"This is a mirror world…" Zhou Ye said, putting his arm around Susan and flying directly into the air…
"Ah, ah, ah… Ye, you can actually fly?" Susan stared with wide eyes, looking at her boyfriend in disbelief. This was too incredible…
"This is just a little trick, pay attention to your feet!" Zhou Ye said, signaling Susan to look at her feet…
"This is Los Angeles, that's right…" Susan said, pointing to Disneyland southeast of Los Angeles, "That's Disneyland — the place I want to go to most!"
"Okay, watch carefully, baby, everything below will be beyond your comprehension!" Zhou Ye said, gently clenching his fist, and suddenly, the entire Los Angeles, like a Rubik's Cube in a child's hand, began to automatically piece together…
"Ah, ah, ah — — — — — — — Heaven, Ye, what have you done… " Susan looked at the downtown Los Angeles under her feet in disbelief, completely turning into a strange world, with streets pressing on streets and buildings stacked on buildings…
"Don't be nervous, baby, didn't I tell you? This is a mirror world, and everything that happens here will not affect the real world!" Zhou Ye softly comforted the nervous Susan.
"Oh… Heaven…" Susan was a little relieved at this time, but soon, she couldn't help but ask: "Then can you do this in reality too?"
Of course, I can…" Zhou Ye replied.
"Oh no… Could it be that I've fallen for a humanoid nuclear bomb?" Susan couldn't help but cover her face.
"Uh—perhaps you should call me a superhero…" Zhou Ye was defeated by Susan's thought process.
"Like Captain America?" Susan asked.
"You could say that…" Zhou Ye said casually, "That guy has to respectfully call me instructor when he sees me…"
"…" Susan looked at Zhou Ye speechlessly.
"…" Zhou Ye suddenly understood that he seemed to have accidentally revealed his age… "Uh, if I told you that I am immortal, would you find it hard to believe…?"
"…No, I believe that for a guy who can play with a city like Lego bricks, being immortal isn't a big deal." Susan stared blankly at Zhou Ye.
To be honest, Susan's mood was very complicated at this time. She felt joy and some disbelief… She just wanted to know something about the man she deeply loved, but she ended up knowing such a big thing… She was already a little overwhelmed.
"Actually… I was taking my goddaughter to school to register that day…" Zhou Ye said somewhat depressed, "But when there was a traffic jam, I saw an angel. I said to myself, I must get her…"
"Wait, you were next to me when there was a traffic jam? Was that extravagant motorcade yours?" Susan interrupted Zhou Ye.
"Uh—yes, it was my motorcade…"
"Okay, are all superheroes so rich?" Susan asked.
"Not really. As far as I know, Captain America doesn't seem to be very rich, but he and his wife are very happy…"
After Zhou Ye finished speaking, Susan didn't ask him anything else, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little silent…
"Okay, it seems I've messed everything up…" Zhou Ye sighed, then waved his hand, and the entire scene space immediately returned to its original state.
He hugged Susan and landed on the balcony again, then pointed forward, and a door opened. "Let's go, Susan, I'll send you out…"
"…" Susan didn't speak, but held Zhou Ye's hand tightly, refusing to let go. She looked at the sparking portal in front of her and didn't know why, but she always felt that if she stepped into this portal with Zhou Ye, she might lose something.
"Susan…" Zhou Ye turned his head, looked at Susan, and asked strangely.
"You used to call me baby…" Susan's hand gripped Zhou Ye tightly. She was afraid that if she let go, she wouldn't be able to hold onto this man. The reality was more bizarre than she imagined.
She did learn about the man she deeply loved, but this kind of thing exceeded her understanding, and she didn't know what to say…
"Ahem—okay, baby, we should go out… Class is about to start!" Zhou Ye said with a slight smile on his face.
"No… To hell with those classes!" Susan wanted to do something… She hugged Zhou Ye's arm tightly, pointed in the direction of Disneyland, and said to him, "Take me there…"
"Okay…" Zhou Ye nodded helplessly, put his arm around Susan's slender waist, and soared into the sky, flying towards Disneyland…
Soon, the two arrived at Disneyland.
"Play with me—!" Saying that, Susan pulled Zhou Ye and ran towards various amusement facilities.
They rode the pirate ship together, watched performances together… and even ate ice cream together.
You ask where the ice cream came from? Uh, actually, a small door was all it took to get it. The little brother who sold the ice cream is still holding a large denomination of US dollars and staring at his disappearing ice cream.
Time passed unknowingly, and it was already evening.
Zhou Ye and Susan sat in the Ferris wheel, watching the sun slowly sink below the sea…
"Hey—Ye, is it true that people in reality can't perceive things in the mirror space?" Susan nestled in Zhou Ye's arms and murmured.
"Yeah, it is…" Zhou Ye unconsciously played with Susan's hair and replied.
"Then… what are you waiting for?" Susan turned around and looked straight at Zhou Ye. She issued her challenge. "In an empty world, there's only you and me. We're here together. Are you just going to stare at a beautiful woman? Are you even a man?"
"…Okay, baby, you'll soon know the consequences of saying that!" Zhou Ye curled up his lips in an evil smile, hugged Susan and kissed her…
Three hours later—
Breathless, Susan hugged Zhou Ye tightly, not letting this guy misbehave again… There was no way, it wasn't that our army was incompetent, it was that the enemy was cheating. "Oh my god—Ye, I take back what I said, you're simply a beast, no, even beasts are inferior to you…"
"Is that a compliment to me? Baby…" Zhou Ye asked with a smile.
"Okay… consider it a compliment!" Susan said lazily. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "If I had followed you out of the portal this afternoon, what would have happened? Would you have abandoned me?"
"You're overthinking it, baby!" Zhou Ye gently patted her upturned butt and said, "The result would be the same as now, except that you might struggle a bit at first…"
"Pervert…" Susan glared at Zhou Ye, then couldn't help but hug the man tightly again, and said reluctantly: "Damn it, I don't know which damn woman will be enjoying this feeling in your arms a hundred years from now…"
"You'll be one of them, baby!" Zhou Ye knew Susan's worries and said in a low voice, "Remember the painkiller I gave you that you drank?"
"You mean the one that tasted like peach?" Susan said, and couldn't help but look at the pool of blood on the ground again… That was proof of her chastity.
"That's right…" Zhou Ye said with a smile, "That thing can prolong life. Now you have at least tens of thousands of years of life, aren't you happy?"
"That's amazing…" Susan couldn't help but ask, "Is there a lot of that stuff?"
"How could there be a lot…" Zhou Ye said, "I also snatched it from someone else…"
"Then…" Susan hesitated, but still didn't say it.
Zhou Ye saw what she meant, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for your parents to achieve another kind of longevity…"
Although there is no more peach juice, the equipment for cloning and consciousness transfer is now very mature, and a set of equipment doesn't cost much money, so it can be given to them to achieve another kind of longevity and let them live until they don't want to live anymore. Of course, that will only be sent out after Zhou Ye leaves this world.
Chapter 409
A week ago—
Europe—Switzerland—Zurich—
Switzerland is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. The whole territory is mainly plateau and mountainous, and it is known as the "Roof of Europe".
Because it is a permanent neutral country, Switzerland is spared from the ravages of war. There are a large number of well-preserved medieval ancient buildings here, and it is even known as the Garden of the World.
Located in the northern part of the Alps, at the northwestern end of Lake Zurich, Zurich, at the mouth of the Limmat River and Lake Zurich, is the largest city in Switzerland, and it is also the richest city in Europe.
Zurich concentrates the global and European headquarters of more than 120 banks. Of course, there are also the headquarters of various European high-tech companies set up here, including a high-tech enterprise called [Zero Heaven].
Of course, although their name is [zero·heaven], and the abbreviation of the company logo is also z·h, in fact, their real name should be [zhou·hydra]. The meaning is certainly not Zero Heaven, but Zhou Ye's Hydra.
That's right, [Zero Heaven] is the disguised Hydra enterprise. They have been hidden underwater for decades, but their expansion has never stopped… It has just become more secretive and more elusive.
At this moment, in the underground base one mile below the headquarters building of ZH Enterprise, a slender, beautiful blonde woman is sitting lazily on her throne, watching the picture on the large projection equipment in front of her.
The picture on the equipment is the scene of Zhou Ye putting on a school uniform and mixing into the school to pick up Susan.
"My dad is getting more and more shameless!" The blonde beauty Ophelia picked up the wine glass in her hand, took a sip, and complained: "He actually went to school to be a student in order to pick up women…"
It's all because you spoiled him…" Emma, the White Queen, retorted from the side, "With you daughters doting on him in every possible way, why would he bother with any integrity…"
"Heh heh… Dare you say that to Dad's face?" Ophelia glanced at the White Queen with a smile.
"...So what…" Emma wanted to retort, but seeing Ophelia's ambiguous smile, she softened. "Okay, I admit I don't dare to criticize him in front of him… That guy is too bad, he messed me up yesterday, and I still can't exert any strength in my whole body!"
"So, don't say it's because I spoiled him!" Ophelia rolled her eyes at Emma and said, "In fact, we are all the same. He is our man, and also our king, a well-deserved king…"
…When saying this, Ophelia's face radiated a devout light. To her, Zhou Ye was her faith, her everything… She loved him more than anything.
"…" Faced with such Ophelia, Emma was a little speechless. "Forget it, I'm going upstairs to deal with company matters…"
"Mm—!" Ophelia nodded with a smile, watching Emma leave the room.
Turning her head, Ophelia looked at the date in the upper left corner of the screen and muttered to herself, "That day is coming soon…"
"Should this year's gift be a little more novel?" Ophelia touched her chin, thought for a while, and then gently pressed a button on the armrest of her chair.
With Ophelia's action, the screen in front of her changed, and a researcher in a white lab coat appeared. Seeing Ophelia, he quickly stood at attention, raising his hands high. "Hail Hydra!"
"Hail Hydra!" Ophelia said casually, "How is your research on the Inhuman Attilan going? Have you found their traces?"
"We have already locked down the general area…" The researcher said, marking a region on the map behind him, covering an area near the North Atlantic. "Give us a few more months, and we can completely explore this area. By then, we will definitely be able to catch these rats!"
"You don't need to be responsible for this matter anymore…" Ophelia said, "I will send someone else to be responsible. Also…"
"But… I'm about to find them…" The researcher seemed very unwilling. "Please, Madam, just give me some more time…"
"No… Doctor, it's not that I don't trust your ability, but we don't have time anymore!" Ophelia said, "I will hand this matter over to the Covert Ops team. You don't need to worry about it. Transfer all the materials you have to them later. I have more important things for you to do!"
"Okay, Madam, your will!" The white-coated researcher reluctantly agreed.
"Everything for Hydra, Hail Hydra!" Ophelia said.
"Hail Hydra!" The white-coated researcher shouted, his eyes full of fanaticism.
After hanging up the communication, Ophelia pressed another button, and a beautiful blonde girl appeared in front of her, "Hi, Mom, is there anything you need me for?"
"Angel, baby, I have a small task for you!" Ophelia's eyes were full of doting. Although Zhou Ye couldn't temporarily make them pregnant due to the improvement of his life level, it didn't prevent them from using their own cells to clone an offspring after modulation.
Of course, Zhou Ye doesn't know about the existence of his daughter yet.
"What task?" Angel asked curiously.
"A very simple task for you!" Ophelia smiled. Perhaps because she often touched the Space Stone when extracting her own cells, her good daughter is actually a one-in-a-million X-gene variant. Her ability is space—space is like a toy in her hands… It can be said that she possesses the strongest spear and the most solid shield.
No attack can ignore the distance of space, and no one can stop the shattering of space… So Ophelia is very relieved to send her daughter. "Baby, in a while, information will be sent to your personal terminal. Enter that place and grab two people out…"
"Okay, okay…" As soon as Angel heard that the task was to capture people, she knew what her mother wanted to do… "Mom, are you planning to send women to Dad again? You've sent so many, when are you going to send your daughter over…"
"Baby, this time you're going to catch your comrades!" Ophelia smiled. Understanding her man's personality, she cultivated her daughter's father-control attribute from an early age. Now it seems that her daughter can't wait… She also can't wait to see what her man's expression will be after knowing that the person he's with is his own daughter.
"Can I finally recognize Dad?" Angel was immediately excited when she heard Ophelia's words… She said quickly, "I'm going to grab those two people now…"
"Baby, don't forget to put on your equipment. If you get hurt, not only will I freak out, but your dad will also freak out…" With Ophelia's last words, the video was interrupted.
Angel was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and jumped up happily.
Angel's room was a bedroom of over 100 square meters. In this bedroom, besides the normal round wooden couch and all the necessary daily necessities like computers, the most eye-catching thing was the countless posters covering the walls and ceiling...…
And all the posters were of one person, Zhou Ye… …
Angel sat on the couch, took out a small Zhou Ye figure from her pocket, and stroked the figure while talking to herself like a lovesick girl: "Daddy… …we are about to recognize each other… …Wait for me, Daddy!"
This really is a broken mother who taught a broken daughter… …
Chapter 410
Just then, the personal terminal on Angel's wrist rang with a series of beeps, and then articles of information were projected.
"Oh? So, Mom is sending them… …" Looking at the information being played in front of her, Angel muttered to herself: "This is really a simple task!"
As she spoke, Angel stood up and came to a small door on the side of the wall, opened it, and walked in. Soon, a heroic girl wearing a black military uniform reappeared in the room.
This was a combat uniform that Ophelia had the Hydra organization specially design for her daughter Angel, using Umbrella's super biological materials, with functions such as resisting high temperature, high pressure, corrosion resistance, and penetration resistance… …
When Ophelia asked her daughter what kind of uniform she wanted, when Angel knew that her father seemed to have a special liking for uniforms, she unhesitatingly chose the military uniform style.
"Alright, Medusa… …you are destined to be a plaything of my father!" Angel had a broken smile on her face, and with a light lift of her foot, the entire space changed, and she directly appeared in the place marked as the mysterious area.
This was not a teleportation, but rather a kind of space conversion… …This was a unique movement ability belonging to Angel.
"Come, let me see where you are… …" Angel stood in mid-air above the sea, closed her eyes, and soon, she felt an abnormal fluctuation in a space. "Found you, little mice!"
With the sound of her voice, Angel's figure disappeared again in the same place—
The last fortress of the Inhumans—the hidden city of Attilan—
Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon, uh, the name is too long, let's just call her Medusa from now on.
Medusa was born into the royal family of the Inhumans. She was strengthened by the Terrigen Crystals since she was a child and possessed superpowers. She can control the density and length of her hair and also has the ability to communicate telepathically.
Therefore, she was assigned by the royal family to communicate with Black Bolt, who was confined in the Silent Room.
As the two got in touch, Medusa gradually fell in love with this silent young man… …Today, she had just finished chatting with Black Bolt in the Silent Room and was planning to return to her room.
Because of Black Bolt's ability, he was still under supervision, so the two of them were only limited to chatting… …After all, there were many people watching in secret every time they met, so even if they couldn't help themselves, they couldn't cross the line.
However, even chatting was enough for Medusa, who was just beginning to fall in love… …She walked towards her residence with brisk steps.
Just as she was walking on the street as usual, she suddenly found that the entire scene had changed. As soon as she stepped forward, the entire space seemed to be infinitely stretched. She found herself instantly coming from the street to a boundless empty plain.
"Who is it?" Medusa's hair moved without wind… …She looked around vigilantly, but no one appeared.
Medusa cautiously retreated backwards. Although she didn't know what kind of trap she had fallen into, walking backwards was better than not walking… …Maybe there would be unexpected surprises?
"Don't waste your energy… …" A female voice suddenly sounded, startling Medusa's hair like countless rattlesnakes, raising high as if ready to pounce and tear the other party apart at the slightest sign of danger.
"Who are you?" Medusa asked.
"Um—how should I put it? In theory, I shouldn't be so rude to you… …" Angel's figure appeared in front of Medusa, smiling: "After all, we will be women of the same man in the future and will be close comrades… …"
"Are you Black Bolt's girlfriend?" Medusa felt sour in her heart when she asked this question.
"Black Bolt? Bah—is he worthy?" Angel looked disgusted. "
"Who are you exactly? If you are not Black Bolt's girlfriend, why do you say we will be women of the same man?" Medusa's questions were like a barrage of bullets.
"Me? You will know in the future! As for the man we will have in the future… …" As soon as Angel mentioned Zhou Ye, her whole personality collapsed, "He is my daddy, the most perfect creation of the gods… …No, no, that's a bit too high of an opinion of those scum gods. It should be said that he—is God, is my God, and will be your God in the future… …"
You're crazy… You actually want to marry your own father?" Medusa was completely dumbfounded. Was the girl in front of her really normal?
"Tch, the so-called customs are all set by those common mortals…" Angel said with a look of disdain, "As a god with eternal life, do I need to care about the rules set by those mortals?"
"You really are crazy…" Medusa said fiercely, "I will never marry your father. I have no interest in old men at all…"
"Old man?" Angel glanced at Medusa out of the corner of her eye and said, "You are too ignorant. Although my father is already thousands of years old… But… he is still a young and charming young man… Look, this is my father. What do you think? Isn't he handsome? Are you tempted?"
As Angel spoke, she used her personal terminal to project a photo of Zhou Ye.
Seeing Zhou Ye's photo, even Medusa, who was currently an enemy, had to admit that regardless of this guy's personality, just in terms of appearance… he was several streets ahead of Black Bolt. There was no comparison between the two.
"He is indeed very handsome…" Medusa said, taking two steps forward, as if wanting to take a closer look at Zhou Ye's photo.
"Right, right? I told you, my dad is the best dad in the world!" Angel said with a face full of pride, completely immersed in her own thoughts like a seasoned missionary fan, not paying attention to Medusa's movements.
Medusa looked at the distance between the two. She secretly calculated that, based on her abilities, she could already take down this little girl, and then suddenly launched an attack. "Although he is very handsome, I will never fall in love with him!"
As she spoke, Medusa's long red hair, like poisonous snakes emerging from their holes, wrapped around Angel's limbs—
"How ignorant…" Angel looked at Medusa, who was still desperately urging her abilities, and said with disdain, "Do you really think you can defeat me? Don't you think the distance between us seems too far?"
Medusa also noticed something was wrong. From her perspective, the distance between the two was only a little over a meter, but after her abilities were activated, her hair was now almost ten meters long, but she still couldn't touch Angel's body. "What exactly is going on?"
"Feeling despair?" Angel looked at Medusa with a smile and said, "Although the distance between us seems to be only a few meters, in reality, the distance between us is calculated in light-years… Haha, I won't tell you anymore, the second gift is also in my hands!"
Medusa watched Angel reach out her hand and grab. A blonde girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old appeared next to her… "No, Crystal—what did you do to her?"
"I didn't do anything to her. You will all be my future comrades. I don't even have enough time to take care of you!" Angel smiled.
"Let go of my sister, I will go with you to see your father…"
"That's impossible…" Angel said, "Right now you are resisting because you don't know what it's like to follow my father. When you know, hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive you away even if you try…"
"No… Let go of my sister, she's too young…"
"Not young anymore… My mother is right, education should start from a young age. Besides, your sister is already considered a big loli, she should be the type my father likes!"
"…No, please…"
"Don't waste your breath…" Angel said, stretching out her hands and grabbing the spatial prison that trapped the two women out of thin air. Taking a step, she had already returned to the underground base where her mother was.
"Mom… I'm back!" Seeing Ophelia, Angel happily ran over and hugged her mother.
"Well done, baby!" Ophelia looked at the spatial cage tightly held in her daughter's hand, with the two women trapped inside—now, there are gifts.
Chapter 411
Time returns to normal again.
"It's all your fault…" Susan, sitting in Zhou Ye's car, had a completely flushed face, hitting Zhou Ye while complaining.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault…" Although Zhou Ye admitted his mistake, he was complaining in his heart. If you hadn't insisted on seducing me when it was almost dark, would we have gotten home so late, almost after nine o'clock?
"…Anyway, it's all your fault!" Seeing Zhou Ye's expression, Susan instantly understood what he meant. "Anyway, it's because you refused to say it clearly that caused this result. You have to take full responsibility!"
"…Okay!" Zhou Ye had no way to answer except for this sentence. What could he say? Or rather, how stupid would he have to be to seriously discuss with a girl who was using this method to act spoiled, about whose fault it was… who should bear the main responsibility.
"When we get to my house later, you have to go in and explain to my parents why I came home late!" Susan said coquettishly, "Um—just say we were arguing about a topic at school too seriously, so we missed the time to leave school?"
Just as she came up with a reason, Susan herself overturned it. "No, no… It's so late, my dad must have already gone to school to look for me!"
"Or should we say I went to your house to play?" Susan said, thought for a while, and then overturned this reason again. "No, if that's the case, my brother, that kid Jonathan, will definitely think something happened between me and you…"
"…" Zhou Ye looked at this simple girl, worrying herself here, and couldn't help but almost laugh… Alas, girls like this are the most fun to play with.
"You're still laughing…" Susan looked at the slight twitch at the corner of Zhou Ye's mouth and pinched him hard. "Do you know or not, this is the first time I've come home so late…"
"I know… I know everything!" Zhou Ye put Susan in his arms. The bloodstain on the floor of the Ferris wheel cabin was enough to show how obedient she used to be. "Just leave everything to me… You just need to look at me, okay? Baby!"
"Um—!" Susan nodded, and once again snuggled her body into Zhou Ye's arms. She believed that Zhou Ye would definitely be able to easily handle her family.
The convoy quickly arrived at the entrance of Susan's house. Zhou Ye helped Susan get out of his luxury car, and then asked the maids to drive back first. He would find a way to get home later.
Susan's house was a normal two-story villa for a middle-class family. Standing at the door of her house, listening to her father and mother's voices from inside, Susan could easily hear that her parents were very anxious now…
At this moment, Susan was a little afraid to knock on the door, even a little scared to knock… She didn't know how to explain to her parents.
"Let me do it, baby!" Zhou Ye said, and without waiting for Susan to reply, he pressed the doorbell—
"Susan—is that you back?" Along with the voice, a middle-aged woman opened the door.
"Susan—! Oh, my god, where did you go? Your father and I looked everywhere for you. We even reported it to the police…" Susan's mother said, hugging her daughter, looking very affectionate.
"Is Susan back? My good daughter, where did you go…" Susan's dad also came out, but better than his mother, he saw Zhou Ye at a glance. "You are?"
"Hello, I'm Susan's boyfriend… Zhou Ye, you can call me Zhou!" Zhou Ye introduced himself, "Today, I insisted on dragging Susan to accompany me, so she came back a little late. I'm really sorry!"
"…Zhou? I've heard Susan mention you!" A young man also came out upon hearing the sound. It was Susan's younger brother, the future Human Torch, Jonathan Storm.
"Really? I often hear her mention you too, Jonathan Storm. Can I call you Joe?" Zhou Ye said with a smile to his future brother-in-law.
"Of course, no problem!" Joe said with a familiar look, "If you can teach me kung fu… that would be even better!"
"Okay, Joe, let's talk inside…" Susan's father looked at his daughter's timid face, then looked at Zhou Ye, and then interrupted his son's words.
"Yes, yes, Zhou, right? Let's talk inside!" Susan's mother said, opening the door and welcoming Zhou Ye and Susan in.
After walking into the house—Susan's father politely led Zhou Ye to sit down on the sofa. Susan consciously sat next to Zhou Ye…
And Susan's parents sat opposite the two of them. Of course, this also included Susan's younger brother, Jonathan—
This situation unknowingly turned into a format like an interrogation…
"What exactly did you do tonight?" Susan's father, sitting on the chair, asked in a stiff tone.
"…Dad, I…" Susan just wanted to speak, but Zhou Ye stopped her.
"We did what boyfriends and girlfriends do tonight…" Zhou Ye shook his head slightly at Susan, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to make up a lie to deceive you, but later I found that a lie requires countless lies to support it, so I plan to tell you the truth directly. I love Susan, and we have done everything that men and women in love would do!"
"You…" Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Susan's father was so angry that his veins popped out. But at this moment, his wife stopped her husband, who was about to get angry.
"Okay, Zhou… Can I call you that?"
"Of course, I think we will be relatives in the future!"
"Okay, I can see that you are a mature child!" Mary said, "Have you thought about your future with Susan?"
"Of course, we will get married in the future… We will be happy!" Zhou Ye said confidently.
But, you're still young, do you really understand the meaning of love?" Mary asked with some concern.
"..." Zhou Ye was rendered speechless by the word 'young,' while Susan beside him couldn't help but laugh… Facing someone even Captain America had to call 'Instructor,' you're saying he's young? Are you kidding me?
"Actually—I know everything Susan and I will face, but I'm confident I can walk down that path with Susan. I know that perhaps to you, love doesn't mean much, but I think a marriage without love truly won't last long…" Zhou Ye could only say this much.
"..." Susan's mother silently looked at Zhou Ye for a long time, then a smile gradually spread across her lips: "Alright, boy, I have to say, you've moved me. You've passed my test here, but… there's one thing, we're not ready to be grandparents yet, so, you need to be careful!"
"Mary… how could you…" Susan's father, Frank, was a little anxious. How could he let this guy who tricked away his precious daughter pass so easily…
"I think he performed wonderfully!" Mary said, not caring at all: "Compared to someone who, when they first came to my house and faced my father, was trembling with fear… he's much stronger…"
"But at the time, your father was pointing a double-barreled shotgun at my head…" Frank explained.
"No, no, whether you have courage has nothing to do with whether there's a shotgun pointed at your head, dear!" Mary retorted: "And I really like this handsome young man, can't I?"
"Who exactly is in charge of this house?" Frank slammed the table and roared.
"Of course, it's me. What's wrong?" Mary didn't flinch at all in front of her husband, glaring and saying: "Do you have any objections?"
"No, no… I don't have any objections, dear. I just wanted to show the young man how to be a good husband!" Frank immediately became timid and cowering.
… Zhou Ye looked at the comical couple in front of him and was speechless. It seemed his father-in-law was a bit afraid of his wife…
"My mother's family used to run a farm. My grandfather told me that my mother was a famous cowgirl in that area when she was young, the kind who could subdue a raging bull with her bare hands!" Susan whispered in her man's ear, revealing her parents' secrets.
It has to be said that sometimes high looks also add points in front of the mother-in-law, at least Zhou Ye got a lot of extra points…
Chapter 412
"Zhou, do you really not need me to add a quilt to Susan's room for you to make do there?" Mary teased Zhou Ye with a smile, completely ignoring that her daughter was so shy she was about to crawl under the sofa…
"No, I think we'll have a lot of time to spend together in the future, won't we?" Zhou Ye refused with a smile. His personal terminal had vibrated many times, obviously someone was calling him, so he had to say goodbye quickly. "Thank you, Mary, your cookies are amazing!"
"Alright, that's really a pity. But thank you for the compliment, Frank always complains that I make the cookies too sweet…" Mary's face was almost blossoming with joy. She really liked this handsome young man who knew how to talk, and she felt that this young man knew how to advance and retreat, not the kind of spoiled rich kid. "Do you need me to ask Frank to drive you back?"
"No need, I can take a taxi myself!" Zhou Ye smiled and opened his arms. Susan obediently hugged him and kissed him gently on the cheek, saying: "See you tomorrow, darling, have a good dream!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow!" Zhou Ye also said goodbye to Susan's parents: "See you tomorrow, Frank, Mary, and of course, you, Joe!"
"See you tomorrow!" In just half an hour, Susan's family had been conquered by Zhou Ye. No matter what the topic was, he could always discuss it with you, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze. To be honest, Susan had the illusion that Zhou Ye was the child of this family…
Susan's family sent Zhou Ye to the door, watching him leave until his figure disappeared at the street corner before returning to their home.
"I have to say, Susan, honey, you're really great at finding boyfriends!" Even Frank, who didn't like Zhou Ye just now, was a little reluctant to see Zhou Ye leave. "That guy actually likes the same team as me, ha, he's really a good kid!"
"Hey, that's not fair, why is the girlfriend I find seen as a bad girl in your eyes, while Susan's boyfriend becomes a treasure here?" Jonathan said dissatisfied.
"That's because they weren't proper girls in the first place, dear!" The one who answered his question was his mother, Mary. "If they could conquer our whole family like Zhou, I think your dad would definitely agree to you bringing them home!"
"Okay… a girl like Zhou?" After thinking for a moment, Jonathan gave up on this stupid idea. "No… I think that would be doomsday for me, I would be controlled to death by that kind of girl…"
"I think you need a girl like that…" Susan smiled.
"No, Susan…"
While this family was still talking about Zhou Ye at home, on the other side—
Zhou Ye, once out of the Suzan family's sight, took out a pair of non-prescription glasses from his pocket and put them on. Then, he connected to his personal terminal, and a graceful figure with golden hair appeared on his glasses.
"Hi, Daddy, did you miss me?" Ophelia said with a smile.
"Baby, don't you ever sleep?" Zhou Ye looked at the time on his wrist. It was almost 10 PM in the US.
"I remember it should be just past 4 AM there..."
"That's right..." Ophelia smiled and said, "Precisely because I'm six hours ahead of you, I can say 'Happy Birthday' to you now... Daddy!"
"Birthday?" Zhou Ye hadn't remembered his own birthday in a long time, yet he remembered the birthdays of every woman he knew... "I'd forgotten... It's my birthday again this year!"
"Yes, Daddy!" Ophelia winked playfully at Zhou Ye and said, "Want to come here? Celebrate your birthday early? Just a friendly reminder, Daddy, I've prepared a mysterious birthday gift for you!"
"What gift?" Zhou Ye's interest was piqued by Ophelia's words. This daughter of his always managed to bring him unexpected surprises. "Can't you give me a little hint first? Baby!"
"Of course—" Ophelia deliberately drew out the sound, then cut off someone's thoughts. "No way!"
"Alright, alright! I'll head over now..." Zhou Ye said, looking around.
The street was still in a residential area. It was almost ten o'clock at night, and the street was very quiet. Every household had closed their doors to enjoy their own lives.
Zhou Ye looked around and saw that no one was there. He pointed his finger forward, and a gate shimmering with sparks opened. Then, Zhou Ye jumped straight in and walked through. Soon, the gate closed, and the entire street returned to silence...
In the underground base of Z.H. Group headquarters—
Ophelia smiled as she watched the man walk out of the gate in front of her. Like a little girl, she happily pounced on him and hugged him tightly. "Happy Birthday, Daddy!"
"Baby, thank you!" Zhou Ye said with a smile, embracing his eldest daughter.
Ophelia also held a special place in Zhou Ye's heart. After all, Ophelia was the first daughter he had adopted; you could say she was his eldest daughter... Zhou Ye was somewhat partial to Ophelia.
"Baby, where's my gift? If I'm not satisfied, you're in trouble!" Zhou Ye joked, patting Ophelia's shapely bottom.
"You can only open the gifts after we've eaten the cake, Daddy!" Ophelia said coquettishly. "Let's go eat cake first!"
"Uh—okay!" Zhou Ye rubbed his stomach. He had just eaten a lot of cookies at Susan's house. Was he going to eat more now? Oh well, he couldn't disappoint his good daughter. He could handle a little bit of fullness...
Ophelia took her father's hand and walked towards the room next door. Pushing open the door, Zhou Ye immediately saw the extravagantly large cake... a six-layer ice cream cake with a diameter of one meter...
"..." Zhou Ye was speechless... He looked at the cake, then looked at his stomach. "Baby, even though I have superhuman strength... that doesn't mean I have a superhuman appetite..."
"Of course, I won't let Daddy finish this cake alone!" Ophelia said with a smile.
As she spoke, a group of young women ran out of the darkness. One by one, they hugged and kissed Zhou Ye, some saying 'Happy Birthday, Daddy,' and others saying 'Happy Birthday, Darling...'
These young women were naturally the White Queen Emma and Jean Grey and the others... With Jean and Emma around, it was simply impossible for Ophelia to monopolize Zhou Ye for his birthday.
Ophelia didn't mind. This kind of thing was unavoidable, but she had also made an agreement with the women that after celebrating their father's birthday, they had to wait until their father had received her birthday gift before they could have fun with her... The women had all agreed. After all, when it came to seniority, Angel would have to call them Mom.
They had no objection to occasionally indulging Angel, this adorable daughter.
Zhou Ye was moved by the appearance of the women. It was a wonderful thing to have a group of people who loved you deeply and always remembered your birthday.
At least Zhou Ye felt very happy at this moment.
"Alright, Daddy, don't be so touched... Hurry up and blow out the candles!" Ophelia said, pushing the cart with the cake in front of Zhou Ye.
Chapter 413
On the huge cake, there were only eighteen candles. In fact, this was also the meaning of the women. Time no longer had any meaning for them. Why couldn't every year be an eighteenth birthday? If you had to remember how many years you had lived, your mentality would unknowingly age.
The moment Zhou Ye blew out the candles, the women cheered and picked up the cake, starting a cake fight... At this moment, they forgot all their superpowers and, like ordinary people, dodged each other, throwing cake.
