This little pepper actually has a golden leaf on it.

There are a lot of strange things on our balcony, I discovered my supernatural abilities here, and this time, I actually saw a golden leaf here.

Of course, I don't think the leaf itself is golden, but it looks like it's glowing golden.

Although the rain had just stopped in the early hours of the morning, and the little trees were covered with small droplets, I was sure that the golden glow was not the light of the sun shining on the droplets.

"Mom, look here!"

I wanted to ask my mother, who was drying her clothes, if she could see this strange sight.

"Oh, isn't it just a few leaves that have withered, you can pluck them off."

"No, I mean this golden leaf!"

"Ah, the golden leaves?"

"Hmm!"

"You said it's brown, it's pretty much the same, but it can also be called golden?"

Mother didn't seem to see the golden leaves, so she put the clothes she had just prepared to dry on a wooden bench and walked over to pluck them.

"Alright, it's almost time for you to go back and review properly, don't waste time here."

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've been on the balcony, and it's been a while!"

That's weird...... Mom couldn't see the golden leaf, which seemed to her to be a dead leaf. And although she plucked the dead leaf, in my eyes the golden leaf was still in its original place, not moving.

"I'll go down first, you can play here for a while, don't forget to lock the door!" My mother admonished me as she walked out of the balcony with the basin.

I was the only one left, and the golden leaf seemed to draw me towards it. I walked up to the little pepper tree and reached out to touch the peculiar leaf.

There is a touch! This leaf really exists in this place for me!

Maybe something incredible will happen when you take it off, but what could be more terrifying than the last time you discovered your supernatural abilities? With that in mind, I took a deep breath and planned to pluck the gold leaf.

"One, two, three......," I counted.

The leaf detached lightly from the branch that carried it under the tug of my left hand—a leaf that seemed weightless, or rather light, not like a leaf.

"Didn't anything happen?"

As I spoke, the leaf suddenly scattered a fierce white light in all directions, shading, the kind that could almost envelop my whole being, and I couldn't help but close my eyes under such a dazzling bright light.

"Ah, this ......"

With the sound of whirring air in my ears, a strong wind suddenly rose around my body. As the sound grew louder and louder, the white light faded, and thousands of leaves from nowhere surrounded my body, spinning around me at high speed, they wrapped me tightly like a protective shield, but I could see through them what was in front of me—it felt like sitting inside an inflatable water ball in a water park.

The blades around me rotate around me at high speed, and when I move myself, the shield moves with me nimbly.

The first few experiences gave me an almost instinctive reaction: perhaps, I could manipulate the blades with ease.

I clenched my left fist as I had done before and extended my right hand. On the wooden bench next to the washing machine was an empty Coke can that I don't know who had left it here, and I held out my index finger and pointed at it.

"Smack!" The empty Coke can slammed into the wall.

The moment I struck, the shield next to me stretched out a spike in the direction I was pointing (of course, this spike was also formed by the high-speed rotation of these leaves), and the spike stabbed quickly in the direction I was pointing, knocking the can into the air.

I felt like a fencer, with high-speed spinning blades for armor, and I wouldn't have to fear them stoning me in the head if those guys were to trouble me again; At the same time, I can control the blades as I did and let them attack them in a fencing fashion.

"Yujie, what are you doing!" Mom was in the living room when she heard the sound of a Coke can just now.

"Not good!" I immediately let go of my left hand.

The leaves soon scattered to the ground as if they had lost their souls. The gold leaf, still intact, lay on my open palm.

"What's going on! You rebel! I don't know when my mother has walked to the door, "Sweep me clean, look at you, what's the matter with so many leaves?" What are you doing with all the leaves in the pot? ”

That's when I realized that the leaves were all from the pots.

Apparently, I've developed a hidden part of my supernatural abilities - which means that I can't just use them to help them grow flowers or go to the garden to play pranks.

"Is that so?"

As soon as I got downstairs, I turned on my phone and told Yirui about this matter.

"Well, it looks like I can trigger it as long as I hold this gold leaf in the palm of my hand."

As I spoke, I picked up my phone and prepared to take a picture of Yirui.

But I forgot that this leaf does not seem to be observable by anyone but me. Sure enough, after passing through the camera lens, the leaf will disappear as well.

"Well, there's nothing, just your rough palm."

"Sure enough, except for me, no one else should be able to see this gold leaf."

"It's okay, it's okay, just show it to us in the garden next time!"

"That's what I said, with this kind of power, next time Zhang Yan and their gang of boys come to bully you again, I promise to stab them to a thousand holes!"

"Haha, that's not how the word 'riddled with holes' is used!"

Having said that, today I was supposed to study with Yirui, but today Yirui was asked out to pick persimmons or oranges by my best friend who I almost forgot, so I left me alone to be happy - this is good, she supervised me to study, I can still be tired and lazy, and my mother supervises me, I just rested in the garden for less than five minutes and scolded me to let me study.

Actually, too, since Yirui was pestered by me, she rarely went out with her original girlfriends, looking at her circle of friends, she went shopping almost every week a few months ago and posted pictures. But maybe it's because I don't have so much time to go out in the third year of high school, but I think that Yirui's lack of opportunity to go out like this has a lot to do with me forming a study group.

"I wish I could unearth the hidden part of my supernatural ability to make soy sauce!"

"By the way, didn't the gardener say last time that you might have an ability to make flowers bloom instantly! You can try it yourself, maybe try it and find it for you! ”

"If only there were! In this case, if I want the flowers to bloom, then I can turn the whole garden into a sea of flowers in a week! ”

"Yes, if you really have this ability, you don't have to waste my own energy every day to help you plant flowers!"

Actually, I want to say "you think beautifully", but I don't want to ruin her interest because of that.

"Well, my girlfriend asked me to move on, let's talk later!"

Saying that, she sent a photo in the orchard - her best friend, the fierce classmate Xu Ruirong, was actually wearing such a cute dress, completely losing the special aura that she could feel when she saw her before, and she was still standing on a tree grinning at the camera and smiling brightly, it was like a different person, full of girlish power like Yirui!

"You're so nice, we'll see you later!"

Now, it is rare for Yirui to have the opportunity to spend such a happy time with her bosom friend who is truly her own! She's been wronged by the fact that she's had to spend all day with me as a boring guy since I came to her.

It would be nice if I could have such a good soulmate and be able to hang out together!

It would be nice if I could go out and surf again before the exam!

It would be nice if I could go out with Yirui!

Forget it, isn't it just to pick a fruit, it's going to take the exam and waste time going here and there, so it's better to stay at home and prepare for the exam! Isn't that right, Zhao Yujie?

Thinking about it, I actually couldn't eat grapes and said that the grapes were sour.

The beautiful scenes of those girls jumping lightly kept appearing in front of me, and the sweet laughter of those girls kept echoing in my ears.

That's nice......

"Ding—"

"Zhang Zhendong: You kid won't still be sleeping lazy, right?"

I was making up the beautiful picture of Yirui and her girls spending a happy time together, when suddenly the news of Zhang Zhendong popped up at the top of the mobile phone screen.

"No, it's noon, how can a young man like me still sleep!"

"Have you watched "Views of the City", "Views of the City"!"

"Views around the city" is the name of our city newspaper, but there are very few young people who read newspapers these days, so the newspaper has launched a mobile application of "Views around the city", and I think this is what Zhen Dong is referring to. But I think this app pushes too much.,Push messages to me every once in a while.,Just turn off its push.,So I didn't think about watching "City Perspective" in the morning.。

"Not yet, what's the matter......"

"I'll share it with you."

Click on the link he shared with me, and the headline "Perspective on the City: Institute of Natural Environmental Phenomena: Our Institute Will Investigate the Attack on a Number of Students in the Garden by Unknown Objects in the Garden of City No. 1 Middle School" came into view. What I didn't expect was that the mysterious organization "Research Institute" that had been circulated by my classmates before actually had a dignified and serious name "Institute of Natural Environmental Phenomena".

"It seems that the last thing you two want to happen has happened!" His message pops up at the top of the screen.

"There are already many students in the school who have said that they have been attacked in various forms in the garden, especially girls, who are often harassed when they go to rest in the garden. Once, when my classmates and I were passing through the garden at night, we were hit in the calf by a rattan sticking out of the roadside. At present, our institute has obtained some surveillance video information from the school with the assistance of this student Zhang Yu and his friends, and we will conduct a full-coverage field trip in the school garden in the future. ”

Classmate Zhang, you said that you were "beaten to your calf by a rattan sticking out of the roadside"? It's a shame that you still have the face to tell the media about this!

Attached to this text is a photo of Zhang Fang being interviewed by the media, in which Zhang Fang is sitting at his desk, dressed in a suit, and answering reporters' questions with a serious face. Beside him, there was an adult man who looked taller than him and was also dressed in a suit. I looked closely, wasn't this the adult man in a suit and leather shoes standing next to Zhang Fang who suddenly appeared when I went home with Yirui-san that night!

Sure enough, my suspicions were not wrong at the beginning, and sure enough, Zhang Fang refused to give up and took the initiative to contact the "Research Institute" to steadily seize this expensive honorarium!

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle now. After all, the time I was pressed to the ground and beaten violently, he showed me the surveillance video he got, and it seems that he should be sure that this matter has something to do with the two of us. If it goes on like this, it may have a bad impact on the two of us. ”

"Why don't we call the police?"

"This 'Natural Environmental Phenomena Research Institute' seems to be legitimate, after all, the news can be logged out, so it's probably our false alarm to call the police, which is illegal!"

"Well, that's right. Then you two need to be careful......"

Again, "be careful". Yirui warned me countless times to "be careful" before, and I myself realized that I should "be careful", but the truth is that no matter how careful we are, we can't stop Zhang Yu and his party from insisting on making trouble.

"It's not just the two of us, you have to be careful!"

"Me?"

"Of course, don't underestimate Zhang Yu's ability to get to the bottom of it. If he was really sure that it all had something to do with me and wanted to figure it out, he probably wouldn't let anyone who had anything to do with me go, including you! ”

"That's a problem......"

Indeed, that's a problem......

originally thought that Zhang Fang would change his face and become a normal person again after being expelled from school, and completely let go of this matter and no longer "pursued". But in fact, this guy seems to have completely gotten into the eyes of money, and he can actually come up with such a means as taking the initiative to contact the "research institute"!

"By the way, there's this ......"

Zhen Dong quickly sent me another video, which he took with his mobile phone camera in the campus garden. The footage of the video advanced as he moved, and the small bushes in the picture became dilapidated, some were left open, some were trampled to the waist, and some were even uprooted and fell to the side.

"See? Looks like that's what they're doing. ”

"You're talking about researchers?"

"I think it's true, listening to the gardener's voice about someone in the garden last night, and seeing the light of a flashlight in the distance, I think those people should be the so-called researchers."

"What about our flowers......"

"Don't worry about this for the time being, what they are ruining is only the periphery of the garden, the flowers we planted, the previous moon season and the pansy that just started are no problem, and I don't think they will do anything to this kind of sparse flower seedlings that have not yet grown flowers!"

"That's good, this is going to make our Yirui-san angry."

"No, Sister Yirui is still playing outside now, don't be in a hurry to tell her first, and you can explain to her slowly when she comes back."

"Damn, these researchers are simply rebelling!"

"The gardener looked angry this morning and was clamoring to complain to the school leaders."

"It seems that it's not just the 'Demon of Plants and Trees' that has caused us trouble, but even the sea of flowers we have created with our hands may have to 'encounter accidents'......"

The gold leaf at the head of my bed was still glowing faintly. I think I may understand why nature has given me such supernatural abilities, and what kind of mission nature has given me.

This golden leaf has given me more powerful supernatural abilities, perhaps it is entrusting me with a new mission: to protect myself, to protect Yirui and Zhendong, to protect the flower seedlings we planted with our own hands, and to protect the whole garden we love the most.

"Anyway, this matter has become tricky, I don't have anything to do with it, I don't know if it will affect you and Sister Yirui's selection in November......"

"I hope not, especially if it doesn't affect Yirui."
