“Aren’t you afraid of monsters?” asked Leng Shaoming.
“There are bad people and good people, just like monsters. Would you hate a monster who treats you very well?” asked Leng Shaoting.
“Of course not!” Leng Shaoming answered without hesitation.
“It’s understandable that people are scared when they hear about monsters, but as you said, if it’s someone you like, you can decide whether to accept her according to the affection between you. If there is no love, you will probably hate her after finding out that she’s a monster. You might even want to cut off your relationship, but if you really like her, you’ll hesitate and won’t know what to do,” said Leng Shaoting.
Although Leng Shaoting seldom talked, he was patient, so he was willing to talk with Leng Shaoming about it in detail.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoming admitted that it wasn’t an easy decision to make.
He undoubtedly liked Zhan Zhiyin, but it would take time for him to be sure whether there was deep affection between them.
“Um, if it really happens to me and we get together afterwards, will you find it disgusting?” asked Leng Shaoming. Because of Zhan Zhiyin’s secret, he was worried about other people’s opinions. It was unbelievable to ordinary people, and he cared about what other people thought of them.
Nobody would know it if he kept it a secret, but he just wanted to know other people’s opinions. If other people could accept it, he might feel better about it.
“Why is it disgusting? Your opinion matters the most. There is no need to think about other people’s opinions. Just follow your heart,” said Leng Shaoting. He rarely shared his life experience with other people.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoming felt better, but he still couldn’t make a decision within such a short time.
Suddenly, Leng Shaoming realized that Leng Shaoting might be aware of something, so he asked, “Shaoting, do you know anything about it?”
“I bet Miss Zhan told you about it, right?” asked Leng Shaoting in an affirmative tone. He asked that because he decided to let Leng Shaoming know that he was aware of Zhan Zhiyin’s secret.
“How do you know?” Leng Shaoming asked in surprise. He just had doubts, because Leng Shaoting seemed to know something, but he wasn’t sure whether Leng Shaoting really knew about it.
“What did she tell you?” asked Leng Shaoting. Although he understood that Zhan Zhiyin was honest with Leng Shaoming, he still needed to ask Leng Shaoming about their conversation.
“She…” Leng Shaoming hesitated for a second, then said frankly, “She sent me a message and told me that she isn’t the real Zhan Zhiyin. She is actually a monster fox. Her soul entered into Zhan Zhiyin’s body by accident and she is now a half monster.”
“What are your thoughts now?” asked Leng Shaoting.
“Aren’t you surprised at all?” Leng Shaoming asked. He was surprised that Leng Shaoting didn’t seem surprised at all after hearing his answers.
“I’m not, because I knew already.” Leng Shaoting replied honestly.
“What?” Leng Shaoming was astonished. How come Leng Shaoting was already aware of that? Why didn’t Leng Shaoting tell him?
He didn’t blame Leng Shaoting for it, because Leng Shaoting probably had a reason for not telling him.
Even though he had a very shallow relationship with Leng Shaoting, Leng Shaoting wouldn’t bother to harm him.
Leng Shaojia had treated Gu Ning so badly and had even almost killed their grandfather, but Leng Shaoting only made Leng Shaojia pay a small price.
So clearly, as long as they didn’t scheme against Leng Shaoting, he wouldn’t hurt them. Instead, he was very protective of the Leng family.
“Let me be honest with you, but you must keep it between us. Actually, there are people with superpowers in this world. You already knew about monsters, but I’m one of those people with superpowers. So I knew that Miss Zhan is a half monster when I met her for the first time. Normally, people with superpowers should kill monsters once we meet them, but Miss Zhan is only a half monster. We shouldn’t kill her. Anyway she has done nothing wrong. In fact, she showed up specially for you from the very beginning. She only wants to return your kindness. She has no intention of hurting you, so we didn’t stop her. However, whether you can accept her or not is very important, and I think that’s the reason why she told you her secret,” said Leng Shaoting.
“People with superpowers?” Leng Shaoming was greatly surprised. He didn’t expect Leng Shaoting to have superpowers!
Although this was the first time that he had ever heard about people with superpowers, he had seen them many times before on TV, so he could understand what it meant.
It turned out that Leng Shaoting was so strong because he had superpowers!
Leng Shaoming didn’t think Leng Shaoting would be weak as an ordinary guy, but it was very helpful to have superpowers.
People with superpowers were good at fighting, it had nothing to do with one’s intelligence.
However, why did Leng Shaoting say we? Who else knew?
Thinking of that, Leng Shaoming asked, “What do you mean we?”
“Ningning also has superpowers,” said Leng Shaoting. He didn’t mention Jing Yunyao.
Leng Shaoming took a deep breath. Surprisingly, Gu Ning had superpowers too.
No wonder she was so outstanding.
“What’s the difference between a half monster and a real monster,” asked Leng Shaoming.
“She still has some of the abilities of a monster, but not all of them. She isn’t completely a monster. If she was a real monster, she would live for hundreds or even thousands of years, but she has a human body, so she can only live as long as a human. She can also get sick and die,” said Leng Shaoting.
“Do you mean she’s more of a human?” asked Leng Shaoming.
“Right,” said Leng Shaoting.
Hearing Leng Shaoting’s explanation, Leng Shaoming felt more relieved. His fear and discomfort also went away a lot.
It was still hard for him to totally digest the news that Zhan Zhiyin’s soul was actually a monster fox, but now he would learn to accept it.
