When Qimu was in elementary school, a new family moved in next door: a handsome, down-on-his-luck middle-aged man and his very cute daughter, Qianxia.
From the moment they moved in, Qimu was intrigued by Qianxia because he could barely hear her thoughts. For a while, he even thought she was an esper like him. Then one day, he saw her turn in a blank test with a score of zero and realized that the doll-like girl was simply a total airhead.
His childhood friend might have been an airhead, but it was peaceful being around her. With that in mind, from elementary school through middle school, the psychic boy secretly helped his silly childhood friend avoid countless troubles, most of them terrible romantic prospects. After all, she might have been a bit dim, but her face was so adorable that people couldn't help letting out a joyful “Oh!”
Though he always thought protecting his silly childhood friend was a huge hassle, Qimu got used to it without realizing. He assumed things would carry on like this for a long time, until she found a man she could entrust herself to.
But he never expected that the year she started high school, his silly childhood friend would move to Tokyo's upscale district because her family had won a hundred million in the lottery. On the day they said goodbye, she threw herself into his arms, crying until her eyes were red, and gave him a box of coffee jelly. But she forgot to tell him her new address and phone number.
Well, he finally had a legitimate reason to ditch his troublesome friend.
After high school, Qimu went on to an utterly ordinary university, then found an utterly ordinary job after graduating.
Then, on an utterly ordinary day, he ran into his not-so-ordinary childhood friend again.
In a dark alley, his silly childhood friend, decked out in the airs of a rich young lady, was talking to a rather handsome pretty boy.
Qimu heard both their thoughts at once.
Silly childhood friend: This guy looks so pitiful.
Pretty boy: This rich woman is loaded and dumb. I need to figure out how to make her fall for me and my son.
Qimu: Years later, and my childhood friend's suitors are still awful.
Qimu: Becoming a mom without even giving birth sounds way too intense! Absolutely not!
Thinking about how to help his childhood friend deal with the bad prospect, Qimu didn't bother to hide his presence. It wasn't until she walked past him with a blank expression, without even saying hello, that Psychic God realized something was wrong. He called out her name without thinking.
“Who are you?”
His childhood friend looked at him as if she had no idea who he was.
Psychic God: ???
