Chapter 299: Chapter 189 Bai Zini: What, My Brother is Actually a Superhero (Part 2)_4

“I’ve been around Rainbow since we were little, and I know all her little tells and expressions when she lies,”

Ke Ming said indifferently.

Ke Mingye sighed and grumbled to himself, “It’s just that your family’s acting skills are no good. Not like our family, full of Oscar-worthy actors, who can lie without even blinking an eye, let alone any subtle expressions or movements.”

…

…

Meanwhile, in the restroom.

“Senior, did you find out why your brother is here?”

You Minglu looked at a relieved Bai Zini and asked her.

“Volunteer work during the summer break. Rainbow’s brother is also a volunteer, so they know each other,” Bai Zini muttered, “Her brother is really busy, huh? Being a superhero and a volunteer, serving the people around the clock, right?”

“So that’s it,” You Minglu said innocently, “I told you that you misunderstood me, but you didn’t believe me.”

“Alright, alright, my mistake. I’m sorry.”

Bai Zini turned off her phone, apologizing to him while slipping the phone into the pocket of her denim jacket, then she turned the doorknob and stepped out of the restroom.

You Minglu followed her out.

The two of them wore impassive faces as they calmly entered the living room and sat down next to Qiu Xia on the couch;

Opposite them was another couch, different in color and looking like it was just bought, with the price tag not even removed yet–after all, both Rainbow and An Renchuan were considered wealthy, and the Alliance and the Superhero Association paid far more than ordinary jobs.

Rainbow and An Renchuan were sitting on this new couch, with Ke Mingye seated next to An Renchuan and directly across from the recently seated Bai Zini.

Ke Mingye was fiddling with his phone, not even bothering to glance at Bai Zini;

Bai Zini also tried not to look in his direction, whispering something to You Minglu instead.

“Speaking of which…”

Qiu Xia spoke casually, breaking the awkward silence.

She brought up a topic, “On the way here, Rainbow told me her brother is a superhero. Is that true?”

As she said this, she looked up at An Renchuan.

An Renchuan smiled, “If I say it’s true, can you all keep it a secret for me?”

“Of course,” Qiu Xia’s eyes brightened.

An Renchuan said, “That’s right. I am a superhero.”

“…Huh?” Ke Mingye, who was engrossed in his phone, was taken aback upon hearing this, looking up at him and said, “No kidding, bro, you’re a superhero?”

Bai Zini, who had tried to hold back, now couldn’t help but lift her phone to cover her face, her shoulders shaking slightly as she stifled a laugh.

She thought to herself, big brother is too funny. So, when he found out that the summer volunteer worker he just met is actually a superhero, that’s the kind of expression he has?

“This is my ID card,”

An Renchuan said as he took out an ID card from his jacket pocket and casually showed it off.

“Platinum Wing?” Qiu Xia’s eyes widened as she turned to Rainbow and said, “Wait, Rainbow, why didn’t you tell me your brother is the Platinum Wing?”

“You never asked me,” Rainbow replied with a worried smile.

Platinum Wing?

That name triggered some thoughts in Bai Zini.

She didn’t recall much about these novice superheroes, but she did happen to see the news about “Bai Yi Squad” early that morning. It reported: Dice Monster attacked Bai Yi Squad, and two of their superheroes were seriously injured, with the blue owl’s whereabouts unknown.

However, by afternoon, many photos of the blue owl entering Superhero Tower surfaced on social media, seeming like he was unscathed.

So Bai Zini didn’t continue to pay attention.

If it were before, she might have taken interest in this matter, but lately, the strange thing hadn’t been bothering her much, and she had almost forgotten about this annoying creature, hence she was even less inclined to view news related to it.

Qiu Xia, her eyes gleaming, went on to say, “The blue owl is your teammate, right? Just a couple of days ago, he officially announced becoming a superhero and then joined your Platinum Wing Squad.”

An Renchuan said indifferently, “Yes, he is my teammate.”

Feigning surprise, Ke Mingye said, “No way, bro, you’re that powerful? A captain of a superheroes squad? What happened to trust and honesty between people?”

As he spoke, he silently typed on his phone, then, using the coffee table in the middle of the couch as a cover, he turned his phone screen towards An Renchuan and nudged his shoe as a sign for him to look.

An Renchuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the note on the phone’s notepad: [I am warning you, do not reveal my identity in front of them.]

Seeing this, An Renchuan couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile and said, “Since we’re all sitting in front of magic girls, they must understand the importance of keeping one’s identity secret.”

He paused, “So, I assume no one present would disclose your identity.”

“Mr. Bai Yi, who are you talking to?”

Qiu Xia asked, puzzled by An Renchuan’s ambiguous remarks, since it surely couldn’t be the high school-looking youth beside him?

“Talking to my comrade-in-arms. We’ll be working together for quite some time from now on,”

An Renchuan spoke as he curled his lips into a smile, patting Ke Mingye on the shoulder and whispered, “Isn’t that right… Blue Owl.”

A moment of dead silence fell over the living room.

Then, Ke Mingye’s eyes darkened as he slapped his forehead with a “smack” and slumped back onto the couch listlessly, utterly deflated.
