Chapter 797

~7 min read 1,307 words

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

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

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

Su Quan smiled and asked: "Do you hope I have one, or not?"

Anna curled her lips and said in a small voice: "This, this has nothing to do with me."

"It really has nothing to do with it," Su Quan admitted very bluntly, then changed the subject and talked about Anna: "But whether you have a boyfriend or not, 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 I have."

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

"..."

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

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

"Time to go back!"

Su Quan started the car and brought the somewhat dazed and helpless Anna back to the community from the lakeside.

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

Su Quan shook his head speechlessly: "What would I be angry about?"

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 responding and then came straight back, which inevitably made her feel that Su Quan might be angry.

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

And she is the type of girl who gives, which can be seen from the movie where she voluntarily injected the cure to eliminate her ability, so she would care 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 except for me, no one can be your man!"

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

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

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

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

In terms of age, little Blink and Anna are about the same age. After all, mutant gene awakening basically happens during the adolescent period. Perhaps some awaken late, but no one awakens early.

Little Blink's full name is Clarice Ferguson. She has Asian ancestry, and her Asian ancestry is very strong; one can't tell she's mixed-race from her appearance at all.

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

Although the current little Blink doesn't have the heroic and cold beauty she had when fighting the Sentinel robots in the Days of Future Past era, the greenness of a girl who has just grown up and the features after awakening also give her a unique, eerie charm.

This eeriness is different from the eeriness of Big and Little Raven; it feels a bit like a female elf.

She has long wine-red hair, a purplish-red mark above and below her left eye, and her eyes are asymmetrical—there is one above, none below. In the middle of her eyebrows is a diamond-shaped purple mark, a bit like Erlang Shen's third eye.

But it's just like it; no eye grew out.

Little Blink herself couldn't accept this "elf outfit," feeling that having a few marks on her perfectly good face made her look ugly, but in Su Quan's eyes, this "outfit" was even more charming!

From beginning to end, Su Quan was never a monogamous man. The kind of "to the world, you are one person; but to me, you are the whole world" thing wouldn't happen to him.

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

During the day at the Hellfire Club, there were so many people, so when he came back in the evening, he naturally didn't have that aggressive desire to win Anna over. In other words, he didn't hit on her as directly as he did on the first day they met.

Anna could feel the change in Su Quan's attitude toward her, which made her feel relieved, but also somewhat resentful.

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

Pfft, scumbag!

Anna cursed him as a scumbag while often taking 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 pretended to be dissatisfied: "I suspect you don't like me at all, you're just deliberately hitting on me, and then making me your maid, serving tea and pouring coffee for you."

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

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

Anna happened to see it and couldn't help but tease: "No way? Just touching my hand like that, is the reaction necessary to be that big?"

"It's different!"

Su Quan smiled and shook his head, looking at her with burning eyes. She was somewhat flustered by the look.

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

Lecherous?

Su Quan curled his lips. He wasn't being lecherous, but—Anna's mutant gene had awakened!

The moment they touched, Su Quan felt an extremely violent suction coming from the place 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—or to be precise, the psychic isolation ability he farmed from Gambit—automatically activated.

And then...

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

Psychic isolation can not only isolate the intrusion of psychic abilities by other psychics but also create an isolation layer around oneself, 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 depends 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 psychic ability stacking far exceed most abilities and can absolutely rank in the top five among his abilities.
