Chapter 43: Moms Doubts

  Campus beauty cohabits with old mom questioning

  The next day, Xie Feiyu was having breakfast, of course, it wasn't early anymore.

  "Fei Yu, have you seen today's G City Daily?" asked Xie Mu, handing over a newspaper.

  "Mom, you know I'm not interested in this stuff. The exams don't even test on it. Why should I read it? It's all just empty political rhetoric. What's the point of reading it?" Xie Feiyu didn't even lift his head, continuing to focus on cooking the fried eggs in his hand.

  "Look at this article, about yesterday's robbery case, the robbers had guns and killed several people. Who knew they just ran to the Yangtze River Road and then rushed into the Paoli River? I'm dead laughing."

  Xie Feiyu's heart moved, although he repeatedly told Shangguan Tong not to reveal his own affairs, but after all, it was a personal experience, and he also wanted to see how these reporters would report on this matter.

  Xie Feiyu took the newspaper from his mother, and on the front page of the news section, in bold black font: "Bandits set up a trap, BMW drives into Baoli River. Young man shows off his divine power, amazing bravery saves people." There were also many pictures attached, including those of the robbery scene and the salvage scene.

  Xie Feiyu was shocked in his heart. He had said not to expose himself, but how did it happen again? Yesterday, when Shangguan Tong asked about the case, Xie Feiyu naturally pushed it off, saying he was knocked unconscious and didn't know anything else. He only said that when he woke up, he found himself in the water and relied on his good swimming skills to rescue Gu Xiaoyue and those robbers. Xie Feiyu did not want to attract attention from people like Gu Xiaoyue again. If his secret was exposed, it would be enough to drive him crazy with all the questions and visits from so many people, let alone being taken to some experimental base as a monster for research. Therefore, Xie Feiyu does not want to gain fame now. He thinks that using the super system in his brain to do something extraordinary without others knowing is more interesting than being a hero in public. Just like Spider-Man and Ultraman in movies, having a public identity while doing secret things with one's abilities feels like a kid who has done some mischief, hiding on the side and watching the commotion, it's cool.

  Xie Feiyu simply took a look at the report, and it was okay. There wasn't any content that involved his own identity, not even the part where he was taken hostage, which had been changed to him passing by there and pulling them out of the water.

  "Mom, this report is nothing but an official article with a different tone. Who can have such good swimming skills to rescue so many people from the Baoli River in one breath? Not even your clever and brave son has that kind of ability." Xie Feiyu said with a smile.

  "You? With your two dog paddles, you can only stay in the shallow water area of the swimming pool and play with kids. And you want to save people from drowning? If one day you really do something earth-shaking like that, I, your mother, will be so happy I'll die!" Xie Chunyan snatched the newspaper from Xie Feiyu's hand, gave him a whack on the head, and scolded with a smile.

  "Huh, this car looks familiar! Where have I seen it before?" Xie Chunyan suddenly fixed her gaze on the salvaged BMW.

  Xie Feiyu was shocked in his heart, but smiled and said: "Mom, you old man, look at which car is not familiar? The same four wheels and one cover."

  "Go, dare to laugh at me now. Not going, this car I really think looks familiar, white, that style, right, just like the one Gu Xiao Yue drove yesterday!" Xie Chunyan slapped her thigh, with a suddenly enlightened expression.

  "How is that possible? What a coincidence! But they're just white horses, there are many rich people in this world." Xie Feiyu argued.

  "No, no, how can't I see the license plate number clearly? It seems to be the same as Gu Xiaoyue's car yesterday. Feiyu, after you went to play basketball yesterday, where did Miss Gu go, do you know?"

  "Mom, didn't I tell you? I've only met her twice, and she came to me for an investigation. How would I know where she went?" Xie Feiyu was secretly surprised, as his mom usually knew nothing about cars, but why was she so concerned about Gu Xiaoyue, whom she had only met once?

  It's actually easy to understand, Xie Chunyan usually doesn't care about cars because in her eyes, they are luxury goods that have nothing to do with her life, so she never pays attention. But yesterday, when she saw someone driving a car to her house to pick up her son, it was like a star she had been longing for suddenly fell from the sky and landed right in front of her, which naturally made her pay extra attention.

  "Fei Yu, you have Gu Xiao Yue's phone number, right? Why don't you give her a call and ask?" Xie Chunyan urged.

  "Mom, we're not very close, how can I ask him?"

  "Are you going to hit me? If you don't, I'll hit you! Hand over your phone." Xie Chunyan said angrily.

  "Okay, okay, I'll hit, I'll hit." Thinking of Gu Xiaoyue who is still lying in the hospital now, she just had surgery yesterday, and he hasn't even discussed it with her yet. His mother asked, isn't that a bit too much?

  Xie Feiyu took out the same "Love and Fury" that he had re-purchased yesterday, only to realize that Gu Xiaoyue's phone number was also lost in the river. He had worried for nothing. But his mother, who was watching from the side, naturally played along with the drama, found Gu Xiaoyue's phone number, dialed it, and of course, it didn't go through.

  "Mom, it can't get through."

  "Can't get through? Oh no, what if it's really her? What a good girl she is, how could she suffer such a disaster?" Xie Chunyan looked worried.

  "Mom, don't worry about it, I know where she lives, I'll go take a look, okay?" Xie Feiyu had been thinking of an excuse to go out and see Gu Xiaoyue today, and he wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.

  "Go on, go on. No big deal if you accompany the young lady for a bit longer. If you can bring back a daughter-in-law like this for your old mother, I'll cook eggs and wine for you every day to nourish your body."

  "Cough, cough..." Xie Feiyu was choked by a mouthful of bread. "Mom, you're too much!" "I'm going now," he said hastily and fled in disarray.

  Upon arriving at the hospital, Xie Feiyu was gloomily informed that Gu Xiaoyue had already been discharged and returned home.

  Xie Feiyu took out his phone and checked the time, it wasn't even 10 o'clock yet. He thought about buying this phone yesterday and borrowing 200 yuan from Shangguan Tong, now he only had 20-30 yuan left in his pocket. His mom had already given him a lot of money these past few days, he couldn't ask for more. No way, he had to think of a way to get some living expenses first. Xie Feiyu thought for a moment, then lifted his foot and headed towards the "Nightly Dazzle" entertainment city.

  As soon as she entered the game room, Xie Feiyu saw a familiar figure, because her bright red short hair was really too eye-catching - the big sister Chu Yan from Class 3 (1) of their school.

  "Damn it!" Chu Yanan punched the slot machine in front of her with a loud bang, and her fiery red hair jumped up high along with her.
