Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1365 - 19: Parent-Child Carnival (Part 3)

"Here it comes~ Your ordered BBQ is right here~!"

In a critical moment, a pink-haired warrior charged forward, breaking through the encirclement with a platter of freshly cooked BBQ to solve the urgent problem. The newcomer wore roller skates, denim jeans, and a white crop top that showcased her great physique and youthful style, resembling a fashionable girl on the streets of America.

She spun around in place and stood next to Ah Ce, greeting the two strangers at the table: "Hello, hello~ Ah Ce, are these your family?"

Ah Ce took the opportunity to stand up: "Yes, yes. Mom and Dad, let me introduce to you my new friend from this semester, Miss Qi Jingxuan. She also participated in the first operation that Kardesia just mentioned in Meteor City!"

Qiluo sweetly greeted Ah Ce’s parents while secretly communicating with Ah Ce using her information ability: (What first operation? What does it have to do with me?)

(Kardesia just slipped up, please cover for her, Qiluo! I really can’t trust the young lady to come anymore, she’s so open that if my parents ask, she’ll tell them everything!)

(Wow wow wow, you’re just dumping the responsibility on me like that! Ah Ce, you’re too much, wait till tonight!)

The exchange between these top-notch actors happened in an instant, and as Qiluo finished greeting, she was ready: "I also went to the Meteor City operation. Is there anything you’d like to know, Uncle and Auntie?"

Mr. Gongsun grasped the core and wouldn’t let go: "Your operation and the recent Dragon Disaster in Meteor City..."

"It was the aftermath handling of the Dragon Disaster." Qiluo said naturally, "You know, in October, when America faced the Disaster of the Solar Flare, our Sky City also went to participate in the counterattack. Meteor City was severely damaged post-battle, and many superpower users in the city actively responded to the official call to participate in disaster relief and urban reconstruction, both Kardesia and Ah Ce went."

Kardesia quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! I was among the first batch to go down for the Giant Dragon fire rescue!"

Mrs. Gongsun was quite doubtful: "Just rescue operations?"

"We superpower users can’t do much more than that~" Qiluo grinned, "There’s no way to let a bunch of college students deal with a giant dragon! We’d be scared to death just by showing up."

Qiluo’s last words were like a decisive blow, how could you expect superpower users to deal with a giant dragon? Mrs. Gongsun was convinced by this common-sense reasoning and couldn’t help but laugh at her prior suspicions. She had a favorable impression of this skillful young lady: "Really, thank you for explaining. Our Ah Ce always likes to hide things... Ah Ce, look at you! Why wouldn’t you tell us about such an honorable thing?"

Ah Ce scratched his head: "It’s all official tasks, nothing honorable about it... just moving stones and transporting the wounded..."

"That’s different, even in the Capital, that’s an exemplar of bravery, newsworthy." Mrs. Gongsun chattered, "If such good deeds were publicized more, wouldn’t that reduce public misunderstanding? People wouldn’t be so scared of you all the time!"

Ah Ce felt a slight stir in his heart. Turns out his mother was so enthusiastic about her son’s honorable deeds not to bring glory to the family, but to use this opportunity to dispel public misunderstanding. In Mrs. Gongsun’s eyes, the superpower users were a group of unfortunate kids, and the official containment and public stereotypes they faced were all due to excessive official measures and public prejudices. Her world was simple; when the public misunderstanding was cleared, these kids could leave Cangdu and return to normal life at home.

"Mom, don’t worry, there is official publicity, as Dad said, the situation is tense and not the right time." Ah Ce smiled, "Besides, we’re well-rewarded materially. Look at my house, and these clothes, aren’t they nice?"

"It’s good, but not as good as home." Mrs. Gongsun sighed, "Alright, alright, go play with your friends, Dad and Mom are relieved to hear there’s nothing to worry about..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"See, you guys are always overthinking, worrying needlessly." Ah Ce laughed, "I’ll go buy you some drinks with Qi... Qi Jingxuan, we’ll be back soon."

"See you, Uncle and Auntie~"

Ah Ce and Qiluo walked away together, and Mrs. Gongsun’s gaze suddenly changed like a sharp and alert hunter: "Old Tu, did you see that? I told you there’s something going on with them!"

Mr. Gongsun’s expression was subtle: "Sometimes I really feel like our son thinks we’re fools..."

Miss Qiluo’s acting was flawless, and Mr. Gongsun’s cooperation was seamless, so where, where was the flaw that made this seemingly ordinary couple notice the anomaly?

The fatal flaw appeared when Qiluo first entered. The two, having been with each other day and night for so long, had forgotten one thing: they had long formed a common action mindset. When Qiluo walked up to him, Ah Ce naturally extended his arm, and Qiluo naturally wrapped hers around it, meaning—

These two idiots had maintained a couple-like close stance throughout the entire conversation.

Qin Qianbai still hadn’t moved the hand covering his face: "Their relationship has always been good..."

Mrs. Gongsun said earnestly: "Little Qian, never mind them. Let’s eat first, alright?"

"Mm-hmm."

The lunch progressed smoothly for the most part, and to prevent his parents from overthinking, Qiluo found an excuse to leave after buying drinks, leaving the four at the table to dine at leisure. They seemed to have a good impression of Qiluo, but Mrs. Gongsun kept inquiring about the girl’s family background and academic performance, leaving Ah Ce a bit puzzled.
