Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 150 The Scammers' Date Time

It's over... totally over, will my paranoia not get me chopped up and fed to the pigs by my older brother?

Please, I should have never brought my paranoia when I first came to meet Gastella...

Ke Mingye gasped sharply, utterly shocked.

He was almost fainting from the unbelievably bizarre scene, so he had no mind to communicate with Gastella, who sat down across the table from him, absolutely getting things backward.

At the moment, Gastella was doing the same as him, secretly observing others present—Deception Puppet glanced at Paranoia, while Gastella stole glances at Ke Yinzhi, each having their own focus.

But the next moment, as Paranoia and Ke Yinzhi's eyes met, the funeral song "Flower of Hope" started playing in Ke Mingye's mind.

In his heart, he silently prayed, hoping that Paranoia would die quickly, ideally with no body left. That way, nothing critical would be discovered by the Management Bureau, sparing him and Cai Bing from disaster.

However, upon making eye contact with Paranoia, Ke Yinzhi quickly averted his gaze and seriously asked Cai Bing, "Speaking of which... in this kind of situation, what should I do to act more like a normal person?"

Cai Bing released the straw, a puzzled look on her face, "Huh? I don't understand what you mean."

"I mean, what would a normal person's reaction be during a date if they found out their date was being harassed by a creep?"

Ke Yinzhi tilted his head, his earring swaying lightly, he said expressionlessly and unhurriedly, "Should I get up angrily, walk over, and give him a good beating, then say, 'Stop bothering her from now on?'", he paused for a bit, "Or should I politely ask him to leave, showing my good manners and potentially making a better impression on you?"

At that, Cai Bing sighed lightly, thinking to herself, 'Dude, stop pretending to be innocent, I'm not buying it.'

She said, "Haven't you watched too many soap operas? Those plots are too clichéd."

"I should have reminded you, I don't have much experience communicating with the opposite sex," Ke Yinzhi laughed.

Sure, no experience communicating with the opposite sex, yet chased by a Magic Girl from Denmark to China. Cai Bing watched his act while inwardly commenting.

Resting her chin on her hand, she said indifferently, "It shows."

Ke Yinzhi glanced at Paranoia and stretched out his distinctively jointed hand to close the menu on the table, then asked, "Do I really not need to do something to make him leave?"

"Don't bother about him," Cai Bing supported her chin with her hand, pouting slightly.

"Alright then."

As Ke Yinzhi withdrew his gaze from Paranoia and shrugged, he handed the menu to the waiter and casually asked Cai Bing, "Should we change places?"

After sipping her lemonade and setting down her glass, Cai Bing said nonchalantly, "No need. He doesn't seem like a coffee drinker, he should leave soon when he sees I'm ignoring him."

"Then that's good," Ke Yinzhi bantered, "You say I attract attention, but you're quite charming yourself... hasn't there been an admirer who's been smitten with you since high school?"

Cai Bing coldly said, "I told you his mind isn't right, you can't judge his actions by normal standards."

Switching topics naturally, she continued, "Speaking of which... I'm actually quite surprised that a workaholic like you would actually show up for a date."

"I don't understand, since you were surprised... why did you stand me up yesterday?" Ke Yinzhi asked.

"Because I didn't expect you to show up."

"Why, do I look that untrustworthy?"

"Intuition," Cai Bing said expressionlessly, "so when I saw your text yesterday saying you were there but didn't see me, I was actually quite surprised and somewhat touched."

"Actually, I just think…" Ke Yinzhi said, propping up his chin, his bright eyes glaring at the tabletop, "besides work, one should occasionally have a personal life too, right?"

"Don't you have family?"

"Yes."

Ke Yinzhi sighed, sounding a bit frustrated, "It's just that they often complain about me, which is annoying, then I start thinking maybe I shouldn't only focus on work and family; perhaps they also hope I'd have other things to do."

"So you're saying... I'm just a tool to deal with your family?"

Ke Yinzhi chuckled, "Your logic is always so piercing, not to mention I wouldn't do that, but hypothetically, if I really needed such a 'tool,' I wouldn't choose someone as troublesome as you."

"I don't understand, is that a compliment... or an insult?"

Cai Bing looked up from her phone screen, asking casually.

"Both."

Ke Yinzhi sipped his lemonade, lifting his clear eyes from the glass, smiling at her.

"Hmm… so what do your family say about you, I'm quite curious," Cai Bing asked.

"Uh... neurotic, bad-tempered, poor memory, panda stealer?"

Ke Yinzhi listed some examples while helplessly curling up the corners of his mouth.

"Panda stealer?"

"Rumor from school, someone said I stole a panda named Kafu; isn't that ludicrous?"

Ke Yinzhi said, shrugging his shoulders with a self-deprecating tone. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Quite charming, if you really told me you had stolen a panda, I'd start looking at you differently," Cai Bing paused, "Though for people to believe such a rumor, you must have been quite the oddball in school."

Ke Yinzhi sighed, "How could I… I'm just a regular person, I can't do such things."
