Damn it, the new Chao-ye has X-ray vision!

This isn't about strength or anything, this Chaozi is special, you know?

It's different from other Chaos, it has a certain...

"Why don't you seem to dare to look at me today?" After going downstairs, Xia Xinyu noticed that Chen Yuan's gaze hadn't been on her, so she asked, puzzled.

"...Is that so?" Chen Yuan squeezed out a smile and asked back.

"Yeah, it's like you'd feel guilty if you looked..." Saying this, Xia Xinyu's expression suddenly froze. She stood in front of Chen Yuan, staring straight at him. "Why would you feel guilty seeing me? Did you... secretly watch suggestive videos again?"

"No, that's not it at all!" Chen Yuan immediately denied it.

This wasn't about that at all.

What, you're asking me if I watched suggestive videos?

Is that the key issue here? Is it meaningful to haggle over such trivial things at a time like this? I possess such an awesome Chaozi, and you're asking me if I watched suggestive videos...

"Then show me your Douyin viewing history." Xia Xinyu held out her hand.

"I won't watch them next time." Chen Yuan said sincerely.

"Hmph."

Xia Xinyu was a little concerned. After all, the beautiful women Chen Yuan watched online weren't her type, which was clearly expressing some kind of emotion.

Or rather, some dissatisfaction deep down—why can't you, Xia Xinyu, have as good a figure as those girls?

"Then tell me, what's the reason for your guilt?" Xia Xinyu asked again.

"Watching suggestive beauties, you guessed right..." Chen Yuan immediately became thick-skinned, giving up entirely.

"No, you wouldn't feel guilty watching suggestive beauties, so that's not the reason."

"..."

It's not Chaozi, do you have a colleague?

Where can I watch the Xia Xinyu version of "My Superpower Refreshes Weekly"?

"If not, then look at me directly, without dodging." Xia Xinyu even took a step back, placing herself entirely in Chen Yuan's field of vision.

No, if I keep looking, I'll see right through her.

But if I don't look, I'll be suspected of cheating.

There's no choice. I'll have to wrong Yuanzi for a few seconds.

Time passed.

Layer after layer receded.

Until, before his eyes, everything was exposed.

Chen Yuan's face turned visibly red.

So red that Xia Xinyu could clearly see he was shy. So, her face also turned red. "What, what's wrong with you?"

"...You're so white," Chen Yuan said softly, averting his gaze.

Xia Xinyu was taken aback. She lowered her head and said, "My skin... maybe it's because I don't get much sun."

It's not your skin...

"Oh." Another image that Chen Yuan couldn't shake from his mind was added to the list: that triangular, pure white.

The guilt he felt toward Xia Xinyu grew even stronger.

He really didn't intend to peek.

No, you're the one who made me look. Why am I taking the blame?

Xinyu's problems are your own responsibility for letting me see them.

Then why not pass the buck to Chaozi?

This time, Chao-ye really isn't the problem!

"So, what's wrong? I'm a little worried about you like this," Xia Xinyu said. She felt that Chen Yuan was really strange and that he was hiding something from her. At this point, her tone was filled with concern.

"The reason I don't dare to look all the time is..."

Every second he looked, one less piece of clothing.

Xia Xinyu only had three pieces on; he couldn't withstand three seconds.

But how could he say such a thing?

Under her puzzled gaze, Chen Yuan closed his eyes, struggled for a moment, and then said, "Xinyu is so beautiful."

"Huh?"

Xia Xinyu was stunned, not knowing why the topic suddenly shifted here, so she stammered, "Then, then why don't you dare to look?"

"Because I've noticed that Xinyu has been getting more and more beautiful lately."

Chen Yuan didn't want to be cheesy, but if he didn't say it like this, how was he supposed to respond?

Yes, I cheated. The reason I didn't dare to look at you was because I felt guilty. My affair partner is a seductive food blogger on Douyin.

Her seductive chicken is much more delicious than yours!

"So... you don't dare to look?" Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan blankly, somewhat surprised.

"If I look, I'll want to bite you, and I'm afraid I'll turn into a zombie," Chen Yuan said candidly.

And this candor greatly accelerated the red temperature of the petite Xia Xinyu.

"Ahahaha, is that so?"

Finally, Xia Xinyu turned around with a smile, walked ahead of Chen Yuan, and said without looking back, "Let's go have breakfast, I'm so hungry."

The topic shifted very awkwardly.

This directly left Xia Xinyu at a loss.

It wasn't that she thought Chen Yuan was being cheesy or a shrimp's head; after all, she was the one who brought it up first.

It's just that she didn't expect him to think that way.

It's said that people in love feel that their partner is becoming more and more beautiful and can't help but want to bite them hard.

Are Chen Yuan and I in love...

Clearly, we haven't even confessed yet.

I understand. We agreed to confess when the scores come out.

Our first intimate kiss should also be reserved for that moment.

But Chen Yuan wants to now, very much, so he doesn't dare to look at me all the time.

It's like a person quitting smoking being afraid of seeing cigarettes. It's a kind of withdrawal reaction...

That's great. I didn't say anything, and Xinbao has already made the logic self-consistent.

But what she said is also true. I did go through a period when I thought Xia Xinyu was getting more and more beautiful, and I really wanted to bite her cheeks.

But recently, it's eased up a bit.

Maybe it's because the competition is finally over, and some of my pent-up stress has been released.

Or perhaps, Xia Xinyu has already reached her limit with me and can't be improved any further...

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan looked at Xia Xinyu walking in front of him. Her figure gradually simplified. On her lower body, he only saw a patch of pure white...

At this moment, Chen Yuan quickly averted his gaze.

Looking at her again.

She had changed back into her school uniform pants.

Chen Yuan roughly understood how to use this Chao-ye.

X-ray vision is layered; it doesn't see all the way through at once.

To see through to the final step, the speed depends on how many layers the target is wearing.

Generally speaking, one second per layer.

Then, what about the schoolbag?

Thinking this, Chen Yuan stared at the schoolbag.

But this time, it took two seconds to see the various books and items inside the schoolbag.

Unlike an airport security X-ray, this was real.

Then, continue to see through.

Chen Yuan's gaze settled on a pencil case. After one second, the pencil case's outer shell completely disappeared, revealing a red pen, a black pen, a ruler, a correction tape...

Select the red pen.

But this time, it took about three seconds to break through the outer shell and make it invisible, leaving only the pen core.

After another five seconds, the pen core's plastic shell also disappeared, leaving only ink that resembled a red dye.

Now Chen Yuan understood everything.

It wasn't one piece of clothing per second, but rather a stripping-away-and-seeing-through based on the object's properties.

Clothes only took one second. The schoolbag's fabric was different and took two seconds. The plastic pen shell took three seconds. The chemical composition of the ink's outer shell might be more complex, so it took five seconds.

Then does that mean...

After walking out of the courtyard and onto the road, Chen Yuan randomly selected a man's back and looked at it for three seconds.

Not bad butt, bro.

But this isn't the time to look at butts.

The upper body, penetrated from the back, continued to look, continued to look...

Ten seconds passed, and nothing happened.

At this moment, Chen Yuan became inexplicably nervous and wanted to back down.

But he persisted.

However, at thirty seconds, he regretted it.

A heart covered in blood plasma, beating vividly!

"...Ugh!" Chen Yuan almost threw up all the stomach acid in his belly.

"Wh, what's wrong?" Xia Xinyu quickly turned her head, stood on tiptoe, patted Chen Yuan's back, and asked with concern.

"N, nothing."

Chen Yuan instantly squeezed out a smile and explained, "I just saw a dead mouse, probably run over by a car. Its intestines were all over the place. It was really scary... Don't look, okay?"

"Is that so? Then I won't look, I won't look."

"It'll be fine if you don't turn around, haha."

When he saw through to the benefits before, Chen Yuan didn't return to normal so quickly. But this time, he almost instantly returned to his normal self.

Because this time, the shock was really too strong.

My expression must have been scary.

So, I definitely can't let Xia Xinyu worry.

But the impact of that moment was still attacking Chen Yuan's mental strength.

Perhaps Yuanzi was really being dramatic and a bit pretentious, but as an ordinary person, he believed that not every medical student could remain calm and indifferent the first time they saw a corpse. And not everyone who studied forensic medicine dissected a human being for the first time.

When he saw the large clumps of blood plasma and organs crammed together, the feeling was simply a nightmare, hell.

After getting in the car with Xia Xinyu, he slowly came back to his senses and no longer felt so uncomfortable.

In other words, he couldn't stare at a person for too long.

Looking for three seconds was at most just a peek at a nude body, a pervert.

But looking for too long was like dissecting a human body, transforming into Jack the Ripper.

Therefore, Chen Yuan could only be cautious and try not to stare at anyone except Xinyu.

Of course, he also had to look at Xinyu less.

If he got Xinyu worked up on the bus, he'd be taken for a pervert.

"Then bye-bye, I'm leaving now!"

Xia Xinyu waved goodbye to Chen Yuan before getting out of the car.

And Chen Yuan also spent two seconds to say goodbye and then pulled back his gaze.

At the same time, Zhou Fu, whom he often saw at this stop, happened to get on the bus afterward. "Hey, Chen Yuan."

"...Hello." Chen Yuan only looked up for a second, and Zhou Fu 'took off' her upper school uniform.

So, he quickly turned his head back.

Shift!

Looking would be betraying Xinyu, but not looking would seem... impolite, since it's not good to not look at the person you're talking to.

But if he looked at Zhou Fu, he might get even more worked up.

"Want some milk?" She asked casually after sitting next to him.

"Huh?" Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the breakfast milk in her hand. He only paused normally for a moment before black lace edges appeared, so he quickly took it. "This milk... Okay, I can drink it."

"Besides this milk, what else is there?" Zhou Fu said, puzzled. "Are you referring to yogurt?"

"I... didn't say anything."

Chen Yuan felt terrible.

My life is like walking on thin ice. When will I ever reach the other shore!

"What's wrong with you? You don't seem quite right?" Zhou Fu asked, puzzled.

"No, I'm fine," Chen Yuan said, but his gaze didn't move.

It looked like the kind of...

Blind person.

This made Zhou Fu nervous, and she quickly asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No," Chen Yuan said.

"Then why are you pretending to be blind here?" Zhou Fu leaned closer, lowered her head, looked up at Chen Yuan, and asked, puzzled.

The valley, Sister Fu, exposed!

"Blind spots are good, blind spots are good," Chen Yuan continued to avoid the topic, while also tilting his face slightly to the side.

And this action directly triggered Zhou Fu's memories of being bullied.

Before, she had also been abandoned because she was misunderstood as seducing someone else's boyfriend.

Could it be that Xinyu thinks she and Chen Yuan are too close, so she's jealous and told Chen Yuan to keep his distance from her and not talk to her anymore...

Why did it come to this again?

My high school life is like walking on thin ice. Will it finally...

"Inflamed."

Chen Yuan turned his head, looked at Zhou Fu, pointed at his eyes, said seriously, and then turned his head back, explaining, "It hurts in the wind."

"Huh?" Zhou Fu was stunned and asked, puzzled, "But there's no wind."

"The wind from talking makes it hurt a little too," Chen Yuan said, thinking of what happened the day before. "When I was swimming in the sea the other day, I guess I got seawater in my eyes, and it hurt terribly."

"It's true that it's like that without swimming goggles. You're a little too brave," Zhou Fu said, and then asked with concern, "Can you go to school like this?"

"Hard to say..." Chen Yuan covered his eyes and sighed.

At this moment, Zhou Fu suddenly grabbed his wrist, moved his hand away, and gently reminded him, "Don't touch it with your hand. It'll get infected."

"Th, thank you."

Sigh, Fu Mama is still okay.

Chen Yuan didn't want her to misunderstand and be sad, so he could only lie.

After a while, Zhou Fu seriously suggested, "You should get off the bus and go to the hospital to see a doctor. I'll help you ask Lao Mo for leave."

"Yeah... okay," Chen Yuan nodded, agreeing.

At this time, there was still one minute until the next stop. So Zhou Fu looked at Chen Yuan with concern and said, "Turn your head, and I'll take a look at your eyes. I won't talk."

"...Okay."

Just like that, Chen Yuan mechanically turned his head, looking up as much as possible.

And Zhou Fu just leaned close to him and observed carefully.

Because Chen Yuan raised his gaze, he couldn't see the valley.

However, her snow-white and plump shoulders were directly reflected in his eyes.

She's completely different from Xinyu, but she also has an ultimate beauty.

Some of the depravity of human nature was slowly eroding his reason...

Suddenly closing his eyes, he turned his head and defeated the demons in his heart.

Well, I'm done fighting.

I can continue reading on Qidian Chinese Website today.

"That's strange, it doesn't seem like there's anything there, and your eyes are very clean and bright..." Zhou Fu was puzzled, but Chen Yuan said he was in a lot of pain, so when they arrived at the stop, she gave up her seat to let Chen Yuan get off the bus and said, "Go ahead and rest assured. I'll tell Lao Mo if anything happens."

"Yeah, bye-bye."

Goodbye, Mom Fu.

I won't come to school this week.

Unless my desk mate is changed to Tang Jian.

Of course, I don't want to look at Tang Jian either.

It's just that you're next to me, it's affecting my studies too much. It's simply torturing a knowledgeable and motivated six-hundred-point boy!

Those smooth shoulders with flesh and curves are a flood and a beast, poisoning the youth of the empire!

Just like that, Chen Yuan got off the bus.

In the densely populated city center, if he was stunned for more than three seconds, basically everything within his field of vision turned into a sea of white.

This world is as naked and disgusting as a maggot baby.

But he can't keep his head down while walking, or he'll eventually get hit by a car and transmigrate to another world.

He used to fantasize about transmigrating to another world and thought it would be fun to go there, get a cheat, fight the demon king, and build a harem.

But now he's very satisfied with his life and cherishes it very much.

Besides, if I go to another world, what will happen to Xinyu?

Don't say you'll come and take care of her!

Now, the key question is how to get through this week.

Getting used to seeing nude bodies is secondary. If he's stunned for too long, he'll see flesh and blood. At that time, his worldview will be completely changed, and he'll become a numb, emotionless god.

He has to think of a way.

Suddenly, he saw an eyewear store.

Would it be different if there was glass?

Stopping, Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the clerk in the eyewear store.

There was a layer of transparent glass between them.

In that case, logically speaking, the glass should disappear first.

Just like that, Chen Yuan kept staring.

Sure enough, more than twenty seconds passed before the glass disappeared. Then, the young female clerk's clothes disappeared one by one...

So, Chen Yuan walked into the store and said directly, "Hello, I want to buy a pair of non-prescription glasses."

"...Oh, okay, please come over here." The clerk led Chen Yuan inside.

High school students wearing non-prescription glasses must be pretending to be bookworms?

Subtle.

Chen Yuan, following behind the female clerk, was even more subtle.

It's rare to have a mole in that place...

"Is this one okay?" The female clerk gave Chen Yuan a square frame.

"Can you stand in front of me?" Chen Yuan said.

"Oh, of course." The female clerk smiled and stood in front of Chen Yuan, saw him put on the glasses and look like an intellectual, and then praised, "It looks very good."

Although she praised him like that, the boy didn't have any expression at all and was still staring straight at her.

Shouldn't he be looking in the mirror?

Why is he looking at me?

Seventeen seconds passed, and the female clerk was already wearing the Emperor's New Clothes.

No good.

"Do you have any lenses that are thicker?" Chen Yuan asked.

Non-prescription glasses, even thicker? What is this person trying to do?

But in the spirit of serving all unreasonable customers, she picked out a pair of gold-rimmed, round-framed, and rather delicate glasses for him.

"Please stand here again."

"...Okay."

Just like that, the female clerk did as she was told.

And this time, Chen Yuan took a full twenty seconds to see the female clerk's Emperor's New Clothes.

In other words, putting aside those three seconds, these glasses could block about seventeen seconds for him.

There was still a clear difference from glass.

But after all, the glass was thicker, and that thickness was already the limit for non-prescription glasses.

"Very refined."

The female clerk barely managed to force a smile, but the desire to complain was already soaring.

He's a pretty handsome boy, and he looks good with glasses, but why does he keep staring at me, and staring so straight...

Refined, but a scoundrel.

"That's it, I want this one," Chen Yuan said without thinking.

"...Okay, good." The female clerk's mood improved instantly because the payment was so quick.

He didn't even haggle at all, so she'll get a lot more commission.

It's okay, you've already been forced to pay in other ways.

Sorry, Miss Clerk, this is a necessary sacrifice.

After paying, Chen Yuan put on the glasses directly.

Then, the whole world became awesome.

He finally returned to his familiar state.

It's awesome, not having to see so many bodies is such happiness!

All I can say is that the superpowers of each week are a bit too extreme.

The first week is always so strong that it's overwhelming. After weakening, the strength increases again, and it takes energy to use it again.

Can't it be changed from passive to active, with the strength unchanged and no cost?

What? You enjoy seeing me tormented in the first week?

Bullshit!

At this moment, Chen Yuan glanced at his phone. The time was 7:45.

He was already late, and he was still two stops away from school.

If he took the bus, he could probably catch the second half of the first class.

He had to hurry. He wanted to study so badly and get into the top fifty of the Tianjiao List so badly.

Just like that, Chen Yuan walked toward the bus stop.

And when he passed a shopping mall, he saw a familiar face.

"Li Tong?"

After getting closer and seeing Li Tong in a police uniform, Chen Yuan greeted her.

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Tong's eyes lit up. She turned her head and saw that it was really Chen Yuan, and immediately showed joy, but still acted seriously and said, "I'm so much older than you. How can you call me by my first name directly?"

"Then what should I call you?"

"Think about it, what two words can be added after Li Tong's name?" Li Tong asked expectantly, touching the belt on her police uniform with one hand.

"Li Tong..."

"Yes, yes, what two words? Say them."

"Comrade."

"It's elder sister!" Li Tong corrected him very seriously, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Oh," Chen Yuan replied calmly.

"Then do you know what to call me now?" Li Tong asked again.

"Li Tong."

"..." Li Tong pursed her lips. She felt that if her younger brother was still alive, he would definitely be different from Chen Yuan, who was so clueless.

I still think you're very similar.

Only their kindness and courage were somewhat similar.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Yuan asked curiously, seeing Li Tong guarding the door.

Li Tong stood on tiptoe, covered her mouth, and whispered to Chen Yuan, "Catching people."

"What kind of people?" Chen Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Guess, what kind of people do the police catch?" Li Tong asked again in a serious whisper.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan said, "People who fly leaves?" (A slang for smoking marijuana)

Hearing this word, Li Tong slapped Chen Yuan hard on the shoulder and said angrily, "Where did you hear this slang? You're not allowed to say it, you know?"

"...You were the one who said it first," Chen Yuan muttered softly, rubbing his shoulder that had been hit.

If you were catching someone, would you tell me?

"Come here."

Li Tong called Chen Yuan to her side, glanced at the girl who was inside the shopping mall entrance, arguing with her colleague, and whispered, "Today, my colleague and I were buying breakfast in the shopping mall. A girl ran up to us and said that her phone had just been stolen, just a minute ago. She happened to see us and asked us to catch the thief. We said we'd check the surveillance, but she said that the location was a blind spot. She insisted that we guard the shopping mall entrance and search everyone who came out."

"Little fairy, 666." Chen Yuan laughed. "And you're really planning to do that?"

"Of course not. That's illegal."

"Then you're not going to check the surveillance?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"The surveillance has already been checked." Li Tong smiled faintly and said, "Guess what we're doing guarding the entrance?"

"I don't know," Chen Yuan shook his head.

Li Tong grabbed his arm and brought it close, pointed inside the shopping mall, and said, "If the thief is still inside the shopping mall and sees the person he stole from at the entrance, with the police, would he dare to come out?"

"So, you're planning to block him in the shopping mall?"

"At this hour, only a supermarket and a breakfast cafeteria are open, so only the North 1 gate is open. We're surrounding three sides and leaving one open, so he can't escape," Li Tong said. "If we ask people to check the surveillance at this time, we might catch someone if they're acting strangely."

"Is it possible that he's already run away?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Of course it's possible. In reality, the probability of catching a thief is very low," Li Tong explained. "But since it just happened, the thief usually won't be in a hurry to run away. He's also afraid of looking abnormal on camera. So, the probability is fifty-fifty, maybe."

"Is that so..."

Chen Yuan understood. Li Tong wanted to perform a small service while eating breakfast.

Comrade Li Tong, be grateful.

Because you met me.

Standing at the entrance of the shopping mall and looking inside, Chen Yuan gently pushed his glasses down.
