Chapter 13
My God, can I have one strand of your hair...?
"You said you detected unusual energy fluctuations?" Cang Yu asked casually during the meal.
"Huh? Um...yes!"
A-Zhui, whose mind seemed to be drawn by something invisible, nodded hurriedly as if she had been startled awake, her cheeks turning even redder, like a ripe apple.
"I see..." Cang Yu fell silent, seemingly lost in thought. The abnormal energy the other party mentioned most likely originated from the fluctuations generated when his genes awakened earlier.
But...didn't Keisha and the others block it? Or did they deliberately not hide it from the angels?
Could it be... that they intentionally wanted the angels to notice them? Or perhaps they hoped an angel would approach them?
As his gaze swept over A-Zhui's obviously embarrassed expression, a sudden realization flashed through Cang Yu's mind.
Perhaps, they just... don't want to see themselves alone anymore.
A-Zhui felt embarrassed after realizing she had made a fool of herself, but there was nothing she could do.
The aura emanating from Cang Yu was like catnip to a cat—fatally attractive to A-Zhui.
That call, seemingly originating from the depths of her genes, was constantly tempting her:
Little girl, stop holding back! A sweet and soft male god, don't you want him?
Cang Yu, who vaguely sensed the deeper meaning behind Keisha and the others' intentions, couldn't help but smile slightly.
He gently pushed the plate of fragrant stir-fried beef slices in front of him towards A-Zhui and said softly:
"Try this..."
"I want!"
Ah-Zhui blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice so loud it startled even herself.
This sudden response startled Cang Yu slightly, and the words he was about to say remained on his lips.
The two were stunned for a moment, their eyes meeting in mid-air, and the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly fell into a subtle silence.
The sudden silence seemed to stretch on endlessly. Ah-Zhui's cheeks burned as if they were on fire.
Cang Yu was indeed stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the golden head that was almost buried in the rice bowl opposite him, and the red and translucent ear tips, a knowing smile finally appeared in his eyes.
He didn't point it out, but simply coughed lightly as if nothing was wrong, breaking the suffocating silence with a calm voice:
"If you like it, eat more."
He casually attributed A-Zhui's shocking response to an affirmation of the dish, cleverly covering up the incident for her.
Within the space of consciousness, Liang Bing was already laughing so hard she could barely breathe, patting the sofa armrest:
"Hahaha! This silly girl, Ah-Zhui, usually seems so clever, but when it comes to the crucial moment, she's like a machine! She just says 'I want it'! Hahaha!"
He Xi covered her mouth, her tone playful: "The instinctive stress response under conditions of extremely high genetic compatibility does indeed significantly lower the priority of social etiquette."
Keisha gracefully crossed her legs, a gentle yet profound smile playing on her lips:
"Pure sincerity is far more moving than any carefully planned encounter. Isn't it?"
Ah-Zhui didn't dare to look up at all, and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"...Um, thank you..."
Then, almost instantly, he precisely picked up the troublesome piece of beef and chewed it with a bland, tasteless slurry.
All her attention was focused on sensing Cang Yu's movements on the other side, praying that time would quickly dilute everything.
Cang Yu did not continue the previous topic and calmly continued eating.
She would only occasionally glance at the angel across from her, who was trying to minimize her presence, and the gentle smile on her lips never faded.
This otherwise ordinary dinner became subtle and vibrant because of the unexpected intrusion of an angel.
And the boy's lonely heart finally felt a touch of warmth.
After finishing his meal, Cang Yu stood up to clear the table, but Angel Chase quietly stopped him.
Cang Yu looked at A Zhui with a hint of doubt.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze darted away, and she whispered:
"Um... since you treated me to dinner, I'll take care of the dishes..."
Seeing that A-Zhui looked like she wanted to help but was also a little embarrassed, Cang Yu didn't insist.
He released her hand, offering her the plate, and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, thank you for your help."
As if she had received an important mission, A-Zhui nodded solemnly and carefully picked up the bowls and plates and headed to the kitchen.
Watching her focused figure washing dishes in the kitchen, Cang Yu couldn't help but drift into a daze.
This kind of ordinary yet warm daily life was something he had never truly experienced before. The feeling of having someone by his side... was indeed something to cherish.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Ah-Zhui, who was washing the dishes, could clearly feel the gaze falling on her from behind.
This made her heart race slightly, yet she couldn't help but wonder:
Why was he staring at her? Was it because of her intrusion? Was he pondering her identity and purpose?
Or perhaps... he's like her...
After everything was tidied up, the two sat down together in the courtyard.
Cang Yu brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for himself and A Zhui.
He took a small sip, then looked up at the angel beside him and asked casually, "So, what were the results of Miss Angel's investigation?"
A-Zhui's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Cang Yu, and she whispered somewhat embarrassedly:
"I...I think my crush is really great."
"Hmm? Male... God?" Cang Yu's tone was slightly surprised.
Why would Ah-Zhui suddenly call herself that?
Did Keisha and the others give her some kind of instruction?
At this point in time, Keisha in this universe should still exist, not to mention that A-Zhui originally didn't even know herself.
Can Keisha now really bypass "herself" and issue such an order to her subordinates?
"Hmm..." A-Zhui nodded gently, then hesitated slightly and whispered:
"Um...dear idol, could I have a strand of your hair?"
Seemingly worried that Cang Yu might misunderstand, she quickly explained:
"It won't be used to analyze important genetic data! I... I just..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, but she still mustered the courage to continue:
"Because at the core of angels' genes, there is a rule that..."
When you meet someone who is a perfect match for you, they exude an aura that is hard to resist...
"I... I sensed that aura from you, so I'd like to use your hair for a genetic match... Is that alright?"
Before he could finish speaking, A-Zhui lowered his head, not daring to look at Cang Yu's reaction.
Cang Yu was taken aback; he was aware of the concept of angel genes.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
He thought that gene matching would only happen after he demonstrated his abilities or became more familiar with A-Zhui.
However... indeed, whether it's the Light of Hope that Keisha and her companions developed for themselves or the aura of the Holy Spirit...
They all exude a pure and attractive beauty. It's only natural that A-Zhui would sense it.
