Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1369 - 20: Parent-Child Field Day (4)_2

"Damn it, you call that helping me?!"

"I indirectly mentioned your greatest contribution to the official side as providing a confession breakthrough afterwards." Aorus said.

Gongsun Ce roared: "Confess my ass! I asked you guys to help me hide it from them!"

Aorus looked at him as if he were staring at a giant gray ostrich.

"We don’t need to delve into complex power dynamics, let’s just talk about the basic logic here." He said, "Over the last year, you’ve been running around killing two demons, three monarchic giant dragons, and dating four girlfriends... And then you want to keep all these earth-shattering events from your parents? Do you think that’s possible?"

Gongsun Ce raised his voice: "Everyone in the city does it! Why can’t I hide it!"

Aorus wasn’t backing down: "But they don’t have four girlfriends! Four! Girlfriends!"

"Shut the hell up!"

Gongsun Ce clasped his head, letting out a silent scream, while Aorus adjusted his collar, saying: "Got it now, huh? No matter how well you polish your surface skills, your relationships are fundamentally suspicious to a chilling extent. Your career and family are intertwined, hide one side and the other is bound to give you away. You can’t explain these ’inexplicable’ people around you to your parents logically unless you come up with a flawless lie."

"I certainly can." Gongsun Ce chuckled coldly, "I am the world’s greatest Lie Master!"

"You were, four years ago." Aorus said, "And now your skill at fabricating lies wouldn’t even match when I was in elementary school."

Gongsun Ce was dumbstruck, Aorus tapped his temple, chuckling bitterly: "You weren’t aware of that yourself? Looking at your error-filled plan, I feel embarrassed for you... You know the risk of this going wrong is high, why make your beaus introduce themselves to your parents one by one? Wouldn’t it be better to let them rest for a couple of days?"

"What the hell are you babbling about, that’s my wife, she came all this way and I’m not going to let her not meet my parents!" Gongsun Ce glared.

"Oh, very reasonable." Aorus nodded, "And then you brought your parents to the product expo, knowing ’Wing of Death’ and Mutual Assistance Association could spoil everything, why stir up trouble for no reason?"

"I just wanted to show off a little in front of my parents, isn’t that okay!" Gongsun Ce fumed.

Aorus spread his hands as if he had nothing more to say.

"You want to pretend to be an ordinary college student, yet want them to know your strength. You want to conceal your extraordinarily unusual relationships, while also wanting the women around you to get along with your parents... Your goals and methods are completely at odds; what convincing lies do you think you can weave this way?"

Gongsun Ce was momentarily speechless, Aorus leaned against the rooftop railing, smiling sympathetically.

"I said this to you long ago, and now I’m saying it again. Face reality, old friend. You’ve changed so much; you can’t deceive your family with a clear conscience like before. You’re no longer that sneaky trickster, now you’re Invincible Jihui Bureau. As a peerless master, show some mastery demeanor, use your wisdom to find a proper way to tell them your experience, stop trying to play the fool again."

Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes: "So annoying and long-winded, can you really be this so-called ’Supreme Crown’?"

"Can we stop referring to the silly old nicknames?" Aorus rubbed his forehead, "I’m just Aorus Otimis. I’m going to accompany my lover and friends now, wish you luck."

Aorus made a gesture and disappeared from the rooftop. Gongsun Ce stood alone, feeling the winter wind, silently watching the bustling crowds on campus, watching the Superpower Users with their parents.

(Is it going smoothly on your end, Gongsun Ce?) Mr. Shiyu sent a message.

(It’s okay...) Gongsun Ce said gloomily, (I was just lectured by Aorus, can you believe it? That jerk actually had the guts to lecture me.) 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

(He probably felt deeply about it, I think he’s now quite aware of the weight of familial and friendly bonds.) Mr. Shiyu chuckled, (I can guess what he said to you. So, what do you think?)

(It’s only been half a day and things are already like this, I reckon if I keep hiding for another two days, I’m doomed.) Gongsun Ce sighed, (Give a brother some advice.)

(My suggestion is...)

Shiyu Lianyi talked with a friend suggesting ideas while roasting beef. He encouraged Gongsun Ce with a couple of words, putting the beef in the dish for a brief rest. Kardesia ambled alongside, eating a skewer, and seeing Shiyu Lianyi done, leaned over asking: "How’s his idiot plan going?"

"Utterly failed, a major loss." Mr. Shiyu said, making Kardesia laugh loudly.

"I think Gongsun has decided to open up a bit and reveal some truths, so I suggested he take his parents to visit the activity room." Shiyu Lianyi picked up a sausage, "Starting with the club activities, it’s easier to soften things up, isn’t that a good idea?"

"Pretty good, darling, start from a small club and talk about his grand adventures... Ah!"

Kardesia’s smile suddenly became stiff, and Mr. Shiyu was startled: "What’s wrong?"

"This, this..." Kardesia’s eyes wandered, "Lianyi, listen, I forgot to tell you guys something, today I figured no one’s using the activity room so I lent it out..."

Mr. Shiyu felt the ominous premonition: "Who did you lend it to?"

"You know... those few who have been quite free recently..." Kardesia squirmed, "the foreign friends visiting on a tour."
