Chapter 432

As the sun set, the red sun in the sky slowly descended, emitting ten thousand rays of rosy light; the rosy light scattered on the calm lake, and the lake surface shone with brilliant radiance.

A gentle breeze blew, and the lake surface rippled with layers of waves, which was quite beautiful, just like Anna, who was at the peak of her beauty beside him.

"Do you… do you really have a girlfriend?" Anna, immersed in the romantic scenery, suddenly asked without any warning.

Su Quan asked with a smile: "Do you hope I have one, or not?"

Anna pouted and said in a small voice: "What, what does that have to do with me."

"It really doesn't have anything to do with you." Su Quan admitted in a very straightforward way, then changed the subject and spoke of Anna: "But whether you have a boyfriend, that has something to do with me."

Anna turned to look at him and said seriously: "I'm not that kind of girl. I admit, you are very charming, but I won't do wrong by my boyfriend!"

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally: "Have you held hands?"

Anna was stunned and said somewhat flustered: "Of, of course we have."

Su Quan looked at her: "Really? I don't believe it!"

"……"

Anna said absurdly and flusteredly: "It, it's just holding hands, what's there not to believe? Besides, you don't know how I get along with my boyfriend."

Su Quan smiled without a word. With one psychic ability, let alone how you get along with your boyfriend, I even know you wet the bed when you were a child!

"Time to go back!"

Su Quan started the car and took the somewhat bewildered and helpless Anna from the lakeside back to the neighborhood.

After getting out of the car, Anna hesitated and spoke: "Are, are you angry?"

Su Quan shook his head in silence: "Why would I be angry?"

Anna didn't quite believe it; although she also felt there was nothing worth being angry about and she hadn't said anything wrong, Su Quan suddenly stopped talking and then came straight back, so it was inevitable that she felt Su Quan might be angry.

Uh, whether she admitted it or not, Su Quan, whom she had only known for a few hours, had already made her feel good.

And she was the type of girl who gives, which can be seen from the movie when she voluntarily injected the cure to eliminate her ability, so she cared about whether Su Quan was angry.

"I'm really not angry, and you said it yourself, you're not that kind of girl. In that atmosphere just now, what else do you think we could say? What else could we do?"

"However…" Su Quan suddenly smiled confidently and wickedly: "I believe that in the end, you will still come to find me, because besides me, no one can be your man!"

Anna didn't know what to say; had this person always been so direct and so confident?

Su Quan waved his hand, Anna said goodbye, and turned to go back to her own house.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

During the day, Su Quan went to the Hellfire Club to accompany the White Queen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to build familiarity with Psylocke, Jubilee, and the Black Queen, or to cultivate feelings with little Blink.

In terms of age, little Blink and Anna were about the same age; after all, mutant gene awakening basically happens during adolescence. Perhaps some awaken late, but no one awakens early.

Little Blink's full name was Clarice Ferguson; she had Asian ancestry, and her Asian ancestry was very strong; one couldn't tell from her appearance that she was mixed-race.

Unlike the Blink in *The Gifted*, although her surname changed from Ferguson to the very Asian-sounding Fong, her appearance clearly showed she was mixed-race.

Although the current little Blink didn't yet have the heroic and cold beauty she had when fighting Sentinel robots in the *Days of Future Past* era, the innocence of a girl coming of age and the characteristics after awakening also gave her a unique, bewitching charm.

This bewitching quality was different from the older and younger Raven's; it felt a bit like an elf.

She had long wine-red hair, a purplish-red mark above and below her left eye—it wasn't symmetrical, with it on top but not on the bottom—and in the center of her brow was a diamond-shaped purple mark, a bit like Erlang Shen's third eye.

But it was only like it; no eye had grown there.

Little Blink herself couldn't quite accept this 'elf makeup,' feeling that having a few marks on her otherwise fine face made her look ugly, but in Su Quan's view, this 'makeup' was even more charming!

From beginning to end, Su Quan was not a monogamous man; the idea that "to the world, you are one person, but to me, you are the whole world" would not happen to him.

If a man's love is not exclusive, then he will feel happy being with any woman.

With so many people at the Hellfire Club during the day, he naturally didn't have that aggressive, must-win attitude toward Anna when he returned in the evening; in other words, he didn't hit on her as directly as he did the first day they met.

Anna could feel the change in Su Quan's attitude toward her, which made her feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt a bit resentful.

Did he just give up because he couldn't chase her?

Pfft, scumbag!

While Anna cursed him as a scumbag, she often took the initiative to come to Su Quan's house to chat and watch movies with him.

"Your coffee!"

Anna handed the coffee cup to Su Quan on the sofa and said with feigned dissatisfaction: "I suspect you don't like me at all; you're just hitting on me on purpose, and then making me your servant, serving you tea, water, and coffee."

"Do you think everyone is qualified to be my servant? Without some special status, without a passing grade in looks, let alone being a servant, you wouldn't even be qualified to follow me."

Su Quan said while taking the coffee; during this, their hands touched lightly, and his expression froze for a moment.

Anna happened to see it and couldn't help but tease: "No way? It was just a touch of the hand, is such a big reaction necessary?"

"It's different!"

Su Quan smiled and shook his head, looking at her with burning eyes; she felt somewhat flustered by his gaze.

"What, what's different? You, you don't be so sleazy!"

Sleazy?

Su Quan pouted; he wasn't being sleazy, but rather—Anna's mutant gene had awakened!

The moment they touched, Su Quan felt an extremely violent suction coming from the point of contact, just like a prisoner who had been managed for hundreds of years finally regaining freedom, running wildly, not wanting to delay even for a second.

As soon as Su Quan felt the suction, his psychic ability—to be precise, the psychic isolation ability he had farmed from Gambit—automatically activated.

And then…

The suction generated by Anna's ability disappeared; to be precise, it was isolated!

Psychic isolation could not only block psychic intrusions from other psychics but also create an isolation layer around himself, allowing him to have normal contact with Anna.

Of course, besides psychic isolation, Su Quan had other abilities and methods to achieve the same effect, but the effect of psychic isolation mainly depended on psychic power, and there's no need to mention how strong Su Quan's psychic power is, right?

The number of times and the intensity of his stacked psychic abilities far exceeded most abilities, and it could definitely rank in the top five among his abilities.
