After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 254 The Mystery of His Age

"Isn't it a bound system? What does 'awakening superpowers' mean?"

She asked.

Feifei glanced hesitantly at Shen Chaohuai beside her: [Doesn't Master know? Perhaps we could ask the person next to him?]

Su Qi's sharp gaze fell on Shen Chaohuai.

Shen Chaohuai chuckled softly, then slowly reduced the car's speed.

"This is just a manifestation of superpowers; using the system makes it more intuitive."

Su Qi couldn't understand such technical language, but he did understand the name of the newly upgraded ability.

"Editing a script? Does that mean I have to be both an actor and a screenwriter? That would kill me! No way, whoever wants it can have it..."

That's not what I meant. Editing the script only affects NPCs; NPCs can act out the story according to your script.

However, getting NPCs to obey requires a medium: someone with performance-based abilities is needed to help the master fulfill the script's content.

"So that means that although my superpower is very strong, it is still limited?"

【Yes. 】

“Then it’s better not to awaken.” Su Qi crossed his arms.

Although Feifei was born late, she roughly understands why she suddenly awakened.

[The master has become proficient in using his special ability. It will level up at a certain time, which may actually be related to some ability the master had in his previous life.]

Su Qi hesitated for a moment, then thought of something and said firmly, "I don't have any special abilities, I just know how to kill a few people."

Shen Chaohuai was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and smiled: "Yes, Xiao Qi really only knows how to fight and kill."

Could it be that he remembered wrong? Later on, Su Qi did indeed awaken superpowers like him, but Su Qi claimed to be unaware of this.

Don't you even know about your own affairs?

When Su Qi got home, she casually found a sofa to sit down on.

"Shen Chaohuai, I don't want to live here."

"Why?" He paused, thinking she was still angry with him.

“I’m not familiar with this place… I don’t have anything here.”

After Su Qi finished speaking, Shen Chaohuai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's no big deal. What do you need? I'll get it for you."

"Towels, toiletries, bathrobes, pajamas, slippers..." Su Qi counted on her fingers.

Female celebrities are getting harder and harder to manage the longer they're kept.

"I can't sleep without these. Oh right, and I also want that amusement park collaboration plush toy."

Shen Chaohuai turned around and laughed after hearing this.

"why are you laughing?!"

"I never expected you to be so childish now..."

Su Qi stood up, arms crossed: "Anyway, I'm not used to being here. My house is right next door, I can leave anytime."

"Oh, no... okay, I'll go get it done."

Knowing that Shen Chaohuai would fall for this, Su Qi smiled and met his gaze.

"I knew it, Young Master Shen still cares about me."

"is not it?"

She stepped forward and lifted his chin: "My...Executive Fu, oh no, I should call you...brother now?"

Shen Chaohuai blushed and his heart pounded as she teased him, but he just coughed lightly, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart: "You have already severed your adoption relationship with the Shen family, there is no need to call me that anymore."

"Huh? You don't like it? Then I won't call you."

Shen Chaohuai frowned: "It's not that I don't like it... I just..."

"Hmm?" She moved closer and closer.

He instinctively wanted to push her away, but he still couldn't resist the deliberate temptation she was offering.

He put his arm around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and said with a wicked smile, "Come to think of it, you really should call me that."

“I am exactly 100 years older than you, which is one imperial calendar cycle.”

Su Qi was suddenly taken aback. Everyone said his age was a mystery in the Empire, but he never imagined it could be this old.

She lightly punched Shen Chaohuai's chest: "You're still my brother? I can call you grandpa now."

“Not grandfather, but great-grandfather,” Shen Chaohuai said deliberately.

An imperial calendar is the history of a family succeeding to the throne, which can last for about four to five emperors.

Su Qi felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and quickly pushed him away, saying, "I need to go rest."

Shen Chaohuai tilted his head slightly: "Mm."

Seeing that Su Qi went upstairs to rest, Shen Chaohuai pulled up his coat and went out.

"Then you should get some rest. I'll bring you what you need later."

Even after getting into the car, Shen Chaohuai couldn't help but smile. Su Qi's expression when she learned his age was just too funny.

He used to hide his real age in the empire because he was afraid of scaring her; as for other people's rumors, he didn't care much.

Moreover, he came from the same family and race as the previous emperor of the empire, so it was inevitable that he would be feared by Su Qi.

Even if she likes someone, so what? She is an empress, not one of the ordinary women in the empire, and there are bound to be secrets between them.

He just didn't expect that if he wanted to be with her properly, these secrets would be revealed.

He knew very well that she was becoming increasingly wary of him.

Shen Chaohuai slowly started the car, closed his eyes in deep thought, then opened them abruptly and stepped on the gas.

……

Inside the studio, the assistant said that the supplies she wanted to buy had been delivered to Su Qi.

"You go."

The assistant looked worried: "Young Master Shen, you don't seem to be in good condition. Has something happened?"

Shen Chaohuai pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed his temples.

It's already midnight, and the company's affairs are still not finished.

Although he only needs to sleep once a year to recharge for the whole year, even he feels tired from the high-intensity work.

The assistant closed the door, and after confirming that the door was closed, Shen Chaohuai raised his fingertip and summoned the light screen.

Hello, how can I help you?

Shen Chaohuai's system wasn't as loud and boisterous as Feifei's, so it was well hidden, and Su Qi basically knew nothing about it.

After learning that her special ability was script editing, he confirmed the next steps.

"If she uses her abilities to create a script, just do as I say and start it directly."

[Can it be started directly without your approval?]

"Ah."

[Although there are some risks, Master need not worry. Observation subject: Su Qi, whose current superpower is sealed and cannot be used for the time being.]

"what?"

……

Su Qi closed the door, intending to use her supernatural abilities before Shen Chaohuai returned.

Unfortunately, the current stopped at my fingertips, and my body felt as if something was blocking it.

Her head started to ache.

【Master! If it's really not possible, it's best not to take the risk.】

Your abilities have been sealed for unknown reasons; forcibly unlocking them will only harm your body.

Su Qi slowly lowered her body, clutching her chest tightly.

She turned pale and fainted.

A jumble of memories flashed through her mind, along with a group of familiar faces.

She seemed to see Fu Changheng standing coldly opposite her on the day of her execution...

Did he not care about her life or death before? Then why did he appear here?

"Xiao Qi!"

"Xiao Qi! It's me... Wake up."

In a daze, the figures almost overlapped.

The man's face was beautiful, yet he was as pale as a ghost.

His deep brown eyes were glistening with tears, and his hair slowly swept across her shoulders and neck.

He slowly lowered his head and kissed me...

"Finally awake..."
