Chapter 138 Sexy Ultraman
Chapter 138 Sexy Ultraman
Rivers and seas.
Inside a detached villa in a high-end residential community.
Wang Yuling looked at her daughter, who had only recently started her vacation, with a headache, her face grim and silent.
Zhou Panpan stood at the door wearing a fluffy white puffer jacket and carrying a small backpack, looking guilty for being caught red-handed.
She's been chatting with Xie Yan on WeChat every day lately, and the two are having a great time chatting. They get along really well, so Zhou Panpan got carried away and decided to meet Xie Yan in person in Yunchuan, which has a kind of romantic feel to it, like an online romance meeting in real life.
Anyway, the high-speed rail only takes an hour, it's very close, and you can go back and forth in the same day.
She planned to give Xie Yan a surprise.
However, this surprise plan clearly fell apart halfway through, dying at its own doorstep.
Because of the abduction incident, Wang Yuling is now extremely worried about her personal safety and is even planning to move to the city where she goes to school to buy a house, as if she were protecting her own eyes.
Now that I see she's still restless and wants to go out and play by herself again, I naturally disagree.
Zhou Panpan herself was easygoing, but she couldn't help but worry about Wang Yuling. No matter how much she pleaded, Wang Yuling wouldn't agree, so she had no choice but to give up.
Back in the bedroom, Zhou Panpan took out the charger and other things she had packed, and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling extremely melancholy.
She took out her phone and sent Xie Yan a voice message, "Sigh, I was planning to take the high-speed train to Yunchuan to visit you today, but my mom won't let me go by myself. I even bought you a little gift, sigh."
Soon, a reply came from the other end, also a voice message, the voice sounding cheerful, "Luckily, Auntie didn't let you go. I'll be in Jianghai for the next couple of days, how about we meet this afternoon?"
Zhou Panpan was surprised by the coincidence and immediately made a phone call, "Ahhhhh, great!! What a coincidence! What are you doing here? Are you here for fun?"
"I'm here to visit relatives."
Zhou Panpan suddenly realized, "Is your family also from Jianghai? Then aren't we from the same hometown?"
"Haha, I guess so. Where shall we meet this afternoon?"
"How about at the milk tea shop near the electronics mall at 2 o'clock?"
"Okay, see you this afternoon."
The two quickly arranged their afternoon plans, and Xie Yan hung up the phone before continuing to eat.
In winter, we still have to eat hot pot.
This is a small restaurant, but the food is very authentic. Outside, the wind is howling, but inside, the food is steaming and fragrant, making one's appetite soar.
The small shop was packed with customers. Business was booming as the year-end approached, and Xie Yan had to make a reservation in advance to secure a table.
Xie Yan silently ate two plates of meat, but the spiciness made her search for water all over the table. Only then did she notice that the person opposite her hadn't spoken for quite a while.
"What are you thinking about?"
Shen Yan glanced across the table and saw Xie Yan's eyes were watery and her lips were red from the spiciness. He sighed almost imperceptibly and handed her a glass of milk. "Milk can help with the spiciness."
"is it?"
Xie Yan quickly took the cup and drank half of it in one gulp, and she felt much better.
"You usually prefer mild flavors, so eating something this spicy all of a sudden will upset your stomach."
"It's okay, it's just once in a while."
They ordered a hot pot with two broths, one for each side. Xie Yan usually eats the seafood broth, but she couldn't resist the aroma of the chili peppers. It's rare for her to eat spicy food, and she was willing to endure the spiciness, even though she was slurping and sucking her tongue.
Who did you meet this afternoon?
"Zhou Panpan, do you still remember her?"
Shen Yan nodded expressionlessly, showing little interest.
He had an exceptionally good memory and still remembered the girl who had been on good terms with Xie Yan when they were young, even though he had only met her two or three times.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yan, now in a different identity, has become friends with Zhou Panpan again.
"Where are you going? When will you be back?"
Shen Yan looked dejected, clearly reluctant to part ways.
Since the start of the holiday, Shen Yan has been bringing all his work home and hasn't gone to the company at all. Xie Yan sometimes gets a real headache from his constant pestering. With the New Year approaching, she thought she would come to Yang Huiyun to spend the holiday together, which is why she went to Jianghai.
They are currently staying at a farmhouse in the countryside, but Yang Huiyun has been busy with the year-end assessment of the city's hotels these past few days and is not here at the small courtyard. It is unknown how many more days it will be before she has some free time.
So Xie Yan's plan fell through; she was just stuck in a different place.
"I don't know, we'll see. You can go back by yourself later."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan pursed his lips reluctantly and remained silent.
He didn't like Xie Yan being with other people.
His possessiveness seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
After finishing their meal, the two went outside, where the festive atmosphere of the New Year was already palpable.
The branches of trees on both sides of the street were covered with colorful lights, and red lanterns were hung high, like strings of festive flames, swaying gently in the cold wind, making the whole city seem warm.
Xie Yan stood at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant and glanced at the time. The location was rather remote, and it would take forty minutes to get there by taxi.
I was looking down at the trolley when I suddenly felt something on my neck.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the scarf she had given to Shen Yan, now wrapped around her neck again.
The winter wind was bleak and the temperature was very low. Shen Yan's fingertips were cold as he carefully put the scarf on Xie Yan, covering her face completely so that she couldn't feel a bit of wind.
"I lent it to you. Come back early this afternoon to return it, or I'll freeze to death."
These words, spoken in a serious yet humorous tone, prompted Xie Yan to blurt out, "There's heating in the courtyard house; no one's going to freeze to death."
"If you don't come back, I'll go out to look for you, and then I'll freeze to death."
Shen Yan spoke with utmost seriousness, not at all like he was joking, "The weather forecast says we'll have our first snowfall tomorrow, and the temperature will drop to between -5 and -8 degrees Celsius."
Xie Yan chuckled at his words, her pretty face buried in the red scarf, only her bright eyes and brows showing. "Don't give me that. Go back and help out with the chores in the yard, okay? I'll be checking when I get back tonight."
"Well, I know."
As the two were talking, the ride-hailing car Xie Yan had called arrived. She quickly said goodbye, got into the car, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shen Yan stood there watching the car disappear from sight before turning and leaving.
There was some traffic on the way, but fortunately Xie Yan still arrived on time and bought some things along the way.
The electronics market area has only developed in recent years. It has several large shopping malls, and in order to compete with each other, there are all sorts of activities and discounts. The area is incredibly prosperous. Although it is not the city center, it is quickly becoming another economic zone.
As soon as Zhou Panpan entered the milk tea shop, she was about to call Xie Yan to ask if she had arrived, but her gaze swept across the room and she saw the girl sitting in the corner by the window.
She was looking down at her phone, her long, smooth black hair falling to one side. Her profile was exquisite, with a straight nose and full, red lips. She wore a blue-gray duffle coat with a bright red scarf, giving her an incredibly academic look.
She was like a campus belle from an art academy, with a cool and gentle temperament, and Zhou Panpan fell for her at first sight.
She really wanted to rush up and yell, "Ahhhhh, is this beautiful lady doing lesbian stuff?!"
But unfortunately, she is not Ji.
Clearly, Xie Yan is not one of them either.
The last time I saw her, her boyfriend was very clingy; they clearly have a great relationship.
Ugh.
However, this didn't dampen Zhou Panpan's enthusiasm. She immediately ran over and patted Xie Yan on the shoulder, "Xie Yan, I'm here!"
Xie Yan snapped out of her daze from her phone and looked up to see a short-haired girl looking at her excitedly with a smile.
Zhou Panpan was still wearing that beige puffer jacket. She had grown up and her features were more defined than when she was a child, yet she was still charming and cute. Her baby face made her look like a high school student, and she exuded a happy aura.
"You're here! Please have a seat. I've already ordered the drinks."
Xie Yan pushed a cup of hot drink over, looking at her with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction.
For some reason, whenever she saw Panpan, she always felt like she was looking at her daughter.
Of course, she felt that Zhou Panpan's baby face was definitely an important reason.
It was windy outside, and Zhou Panpan's hands must have been cold when she first came in. But now, holding the cup in her hands felt incredibly warm.
"What a coincidence! I was just worried I wouldn't be able to hang out with you, and then you actually came to Jianghai! What a coincidence!"
This was actually only their second real meeting, but Zhou Panpan was exceptionally outgoing and chatted happily for a long time, clearly a very extroverted person.
Xie Yan isn't usually a talkative person, but she was inevitably infected by Zhou Panpan's sunny and cheerful personality, and her whole face lit up with smiles, making her incredibly happy.
It was just an ordinary moment, but she inexplicably felt incredibly happy.
My mother, my lover, and my friends are all by my side.
Life is just a few moments, isn't it?
As Zhou Panpan spoke, she pulled a delicate velvet box from her pocket. "There were too many people at Brother Gu's house last time, so I thought I should give you a thank-you gift when we got back. I bought this myself; do you like it?"
Inside the box lay a necklace, its silver chain shimmering slightly. The pendant was snowflake-shaped, surrounded by small diamonds, with a larger, light blue diamond in the center. It was beautiful and sparkly.
Xie Yan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the small gift she mentioned to be so valuable.
"This must cost a lot of money. You're still in school, so I can't accept it."
"Oh, please accept it. I bought it with my New Year's money, so it's not a big deal."
Zhou Yishan's business has been running smoothly and without any major problems over the years. Her family was already quite wealthy, and now they are even more prosperous than before.
Xie Yan repeatedly refused, but Zhou Panpan kept offering it to her. The two were locked in a tug-of-war like exchanging red envelopes during Chinese New Year. After several rounds, people around them started to watch, and Xie Yan finally gave in.
Looking at the sparkling diamond necklace in her hand, she suddenly felt that the gift she had just bought was a bit embarrassing.
I'm a little embarrassed to give it to you.
But since I've already bought it, it wouldn't be right not to give it away.
So, Xie Yan, her ears red and her face drooping with embarrassment, pulled a large box out from under the table...
Ultraman figurines.
Several styles available, including authentic and limited editions.
"Um... I bought you a gift on my way here, but it's okay if you don't like it—"
"Holy crap, I love it so much! How did you know I like Ultraman?!"
Zhou Panpan was utterly shocked. She hugged the large box and laughed wildly, disregarding her image.
It was as if there was no one in the world she cared about.
Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, Xie Yan's embarrassment eased.
She was just thinking about what gift to buy for Zhou Panpan, but after not seeing her for ten years, she didn't know what Zhou Panpan liked now. So Xie Yan remembered that when they were little, Zhou Panpan had told her that she liked Ultraman, but her mother only bought her Barbie dolls.
Fortunately, Zhou Panpan continues to love Ultraman as always.
Xie Yan laughed and said it was a coincidence, and that's good as long as she likes it. Then she was asked why she still likes Ultraman even though she's in college.
Hearing this, Zhou Panpan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Don't you think Ultraman is sexy? Tight-fitting latex suit, firm muscles, agile figure, powerful thighs, but every time he runs out of energy, he's incredibly weak and powerless to fight back. He's practically a cosmic-level beauty, strong, and tragic figure! Friend, want to get into this fandom with me? I also have Ultraman and monster pairings, do you want to read them? All kinds of monsters~ are available~~"
Xie Yan: "............"
enough.
She shouldn't have asked.
What caused that innocent and lovely little girl to develop such a wicked fetish?
Xie Yan firmly believes that Zhou Panpan's childhood fondness for Ultraman was definitely not due to this reason.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a childhood nightmare.
"Seriously, no gift has ever made me this happy before. I love you so much!"
Zhou Panpan stared at the figurines in the box with bright eyes, already thinking about what sexy poses she could strike for these Ultraman figures when she got back.
Xie Yan lowered her head, her smile a mixture of helplessness and joy.
Just then, she heard Zhou Panpan's delighted voice, "It's snowing outside! The first snow!"
Xie Yan turned to look out the window.
The first snow arrived quietly, a day earlier than the weather forecast predicted, draping the bustling city in a dreamy silver veil.
Snowflakes drifted down lightly, sometimes swirling, sometimes fluttering, eventually settling gently on the eaves, treetops, and wide streets.
The snowflakes weren't large, but they drifted and swayed, carried by the breeze. At this moment, even the wind seemed to have a discernible pattern.
What a beautiful snowfall.
People were taking photos with their phones on the streets and in the shops, as if the first snow had some special significance.
Zhou Panpan happily pulled Xie Yan to take a picture, asking her to strike a nice pose.
Xie Yan blinked and held up a finger to make a "V" sign.
Zhou Panpan:............
Okay, you're beautiful, so you can do whatever you want.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon taking selfies at the bubble tea shop without doing anything else.
Xie Yan found it hard to believe that Zhou Panpan was so energetic and patient that she could take pictures of the snow scene for so long without stopping.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was gradually darkening, but the snow showed no signs of stopping, and a thin layer of white had already settled on the streets.
When Zhou Panpan asked Xie Yan where she was staying, she said, "The paths around the farmhouses are difficult to navigate, and it's dark, slippery, and snowy. Why don't you come home with me for the night? My house isn't far from here."
Xie Yan wanted to agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment.
She suddenly thought of someone who was still waiting for her to come back.
However, considering that it would be completely dark by the time they got back, and that it would be difficult to travel in the snow, they agreed to Zhou Panpan's suggestion.
She sent Shen Yan a message to let him know, and Shen Yan replied with "I know," without any objection.
Safety is the most important thing after all.
So Xie Yan went home with Zhou Panpan, just in time for dinner.
Xie Yan felt embarrassed and ended up getting a free meal.
Fortunately, Wang Yuling was extremely enthusiastic, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.
As they talked, the conversation somehow drifted to academic achievements, and Zhou Panpan suddenly asked, "By the way, I saw a computer science prodigy named Xie Yan on this year's provincial competition winners list. Is that you?"
Xie Yan hadn't even swallowed a bite of pork rib yet, and could only manage two "hmm" sounds.
"Wow, you're amazing! Are you going to participate in that national competition again after school starts?"
"Uh-huh."
Zhou Panpan was extremely shocked.
The two chatted casually, and Wang Yuling slowly put down her chopsticks, her eyes filled with a strange mix of emotions, both sighing and complicated.
If Xie Yan, the child from ten years ago, were still alive, she would be this age now. She remembered that the child was also a very good student.
"Xie Yan, have another chicken leg."
Wang Yuling smiled and put a chicken leg into her bowl, and Xie Yan quickly thanked her.
"Perhaps it's because of your name, but every time I see you, I think of Panpan's former classmate. If it weren't for her, our family would probably have been ruined long ago."
Xie Yan paused, seemingly surprised that her aunt would say such things.
So she followed up on Wang Yuling's words, pretending not to know, "What happened?"
Wang Yuling and Zhou Panpan exchanged a glance, still feeling lingering fear as they recalled what happened ten years ago.
The well-maintained middle-aged woman sighed and began to recount that long-forgotten past.
"Ten years ago, we had a very good friend, surnamed Wang, who lived next door to us..."
