Xue Bufu looked down in a daze.
He found someone had appeared in his arms.
But he didn’t dare make a sound.
Because a gun was pointed at his chest!

It was Su Su’s arm, transformed into a weapon by her spirit!
At that moment, she was supporting herself with one hand, and her right arm had morphed into a long gun barrel.
Her eyes were cold, completely different from earlier—
A murderous aura radiated from her entire being.

Chen Xing was the first to sense this presence and looked back from the car’s rearview mirror in shock.
Xue Bufu stared at Su Su in disbelief,
Fixating on her eyes but unable to read any emotion.

“Meow…”
Meowmeow noticed too and meowed nervously.
Yun Xinghai had already fainted.
And Little Zero, who was driving like mad, had no idea about the intense atmosphere in the backseat.

Suddenly, Su Su’s expression shifted—
Surprise flashed across her face.
She looked at the gun barrel aimed at Xue Bufu in disbelief.
In the next second, a white light flashed, and her arm returned to its slender form.

Then she panicked and muttered, “Sorry.”
Quickly got out of Xue Bufu’s seat and returned to her own.
She sat down, fastened her seatbelt,
Then lowered her head, staring blankly at the floor.

Chen Xing watched her the entire time, astonished.
A guess started to form in his mind.

Actually, Su Su didn’t avoid relationships because she wasn’t interested.
She simply couldn’t…

Everyone knew Su Su had been protecting Little Zero since childhood,
Blocking all the shady men who approached her.
Under Su Su’s watch, Little Zero grew up safe and untouched by that darkness.

But over time, Su Su became deeply affected.
Partly because of her father, and partly because of the continuous stream of shady men trying to manipulate or abandon Little Zero.

That kind of trauma isn’t easy to erase.
Her hostility toward men may not show on the surface—
But in certain situations, it erupts instinctively.

Her orientation is normal.
She still likes men. But she fears them too.
Because of past experiences, and her father’s abandonment,
She finds it hard to trust others again.

That fear turned into extreme resistance.
That’s why she doesn’t date.

She doesn’t need a sweet or silly boyfriend.
She needs someone who can heal the trauma inside her.

Chen Xing’s guess was pretty much on point.
He knew part of it was because of Little Zero.
But Su Su had never shown it in front of Little Zero.

This girl had always used strength and boldness as a mask,
To hide her vulnerable heart.

Chen Xing looked at her once more through the rearview mirror, then looked away.
He didn’t say anything—
Just silently hoped she would find someone who could give her a happy ending someday.

Meanwhile, Xue Bufu still stared at the dazed Su Su.
He said nothing. His brain couldn’t process her emotions—
Just one thought remained: “Damn… I almost got killed?”

Meowmeow, being younger, was still terrified:
“Meowmeow? Is Sister Su Su angry?”
She didn’t dare sit next to Su Su anymore—
Only curled up in Yun Xinghai’s arms, trembling quietly.

Su Su also noticed the shift in their emotions.
She knew she had scared them.
She wanted to say something, to explain,
But didn’t know how.

Honestly, aside from Lin Yuexi, her only real friend was Little Zero.
It was through Little Zero that she met Xue Bufu, Yun Xinghai, and Meowmeow.

And she was genuinely happy about that—
Even though she always spoke sharply,
She truly thought they were great people.

But now, she had done something like that…

Although Xue Bufu didn’t seem to mind much,
Su Su herself felt she had gone too far.
She stayed silent the entire ride.

“Hmm…?”
Finally, Little Zero noticed the silence in the backseat.

“Su Su?”
She called out softly.

Su Su didn’t hear her—still dazed.
“Su Su~”
Little Zero called again. Su Su finally heard her.
She was about to respond, but suddenly felt dizzy—

“Meow!?”
“Ah!”
The car seemed to lose control, and the two girls in the back shrieked at once.
But then the car steadied again—
Except it was now driving backward!

Su Su looked back in horror at Little Zero:
“Sister, what are you doing?!”

Little Zero had one hand on the wheel,
Her head turned completely to look through the rear window.
She glanced at Su Su:
“Hmm… You were ignoring me… So I turned around to see what’s wrong…”

Su Su was dumbfounded.
She was about to speak when she suddenly saw,
Through the rearview mirror—
A massive truck speeding straight toward them!

“Truck! Sister! Look at the road!”
Xue Bufu turned around immediately. Even with his nerves of steel, his heart skipped a beat!

“Meow!~”
“Hehe…”
Little Zero giggled happily and yanked the steering wheel—
The car spun and drifted smoothly, narrowly avoiding the truck.
Then it just so happened to face the right direction again.

To Little Zero, this was just basic maneuvering from her driving test.
To Chen Xing, it was adorable.
To Su Su… it showed a serious lack of proper driving awareness!

“STOP THE CAR!”
Su Su yelled so loud that it made Little Zero flinch.
“Ugh…”
Little Zero pouted and muttered internally:
Boohoo… Su Su’s so mean…

“I said stop the car!”
Su Su scolded angrily.

“Ugh… whyyy?”
Little Zero pouted, turning to look at Su Su again.

Su Su panicked:
“Watch the road!”
“The road!”
“Meow!”

The two girls screamed again.
But Little Zero once more stylishly avoided an obstacle with ease.
This time, Su Su didn’t dare shout anymore—
Survival clearly came first.

What kind of person drives without looking at the road!?
Who taught her this nonsense!?

Chen Xing chuckled softly and patted Little Zero’s head:
“Drive slower. We’re not in a rush.”
Little Zero nodded and happily leaned into his hand:
“Okay~”

Finally, after a wild but safe journey, Little Zero hit the brakes.
That was the only time she used the brakes.
Meowmeow’s heart was still thumping like crazy.

“Meowwooo…” (I’m still alive…)
“Phew~”
Su Su let out a long sigh of relief.

Xue Bufu’s inner thoughts: She’s never driving my car again…

Though her driving was wild, Little Zero never broke any laws.
She’s a law-abiding good girl.

“Huh?”
Yun Xinghai finally woke up.
He looked down at the Meowmeow in his arms:
“What are you doing?”

“Meow?”
Meowmeow blushed and quickly scrambled off him:
“Meow meow meow…” (Pretending nothing happened. Playing dumb…)

Yun Xinghai gave her a strange look:
“I feel like something hit me just now?”
“Meowmeow? What? I don’t know anything…”
Yun Xinghai:
“It was you, wasn’t it?”
“Meow? Nope, you must be mistaken.”
“Then why were you on top of me?”
“Meow… because…”

Suddenly, Yun Xinghai remembered something.
He reached into his pocket:
“You didn’t steal my lollipop while I was asleep, did you?! Unforgivable!”
“Meow?”

Meowmeow was speechless…
He pulled out a lollipop and checked it.
Only then did he relax and glance at Meowmeow:
“Whew… still here… hehe…”
“Wait, so why were you on top of me?”
“Meow!” (Go away!)
Yun Xinghai: ???

At that moment, they arrived at the Martial Artist Association,
Where media and contestants were already gathered for the upcoming match.

Su Su had been scolding Little Zero the whole ride:
“Do you have a death wish?”
“If you don’t value your life, I still want mine!”
“You’re not allowed to drive anymore! Your license is revoked!”

“Boohoo…”
X﹏X…
Little Zero pouted, her hand being dragged by Su Su.
“No more hand-holding… she’s mean to me…”
She pulled her hand away and went to hug Chen Xing.

“Boohoo… hubby…”
Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh seeing her act this way.
Why is she so adorable even when she’s upset?

Su Su rolled her eyes so hard they almost got stuck.
She was just too tired to argue anymore…
