My name is Li Ze, and I'm 18 years old. Unlike ordinary people, I've been racking up awards since childhood. Not a single exam wasn't a perfect score—unless I did it on purpose. My looks aren't jaw-dropping, but girls call me handsome. I'm not the type who turns heads and makes thousands swoon, but I'm definitely at the level where countless girls have secret crushes on me.

"Deyang City, Qingyun District has arrived. Passengers getting off, please take your luggage and exit from the rear. Boarding passengers, don't rush. Everyone inside, watch out for pickpockets." The announcement blared from the speaker above me. Annoying as it was, it reminded me it was time to get off.

I grabbed my suitcase and pressed the button beside my seat. The speaker crackled again: "Passengers preparing to disembark from Car 5... Day and Night Train Company welcomes you aboard next time."

The train door slid open slowly. I pulled my suitcase out through the doorway. People bustled around, each searching for someone to pick them up. Though someone was indeed here for me today, I really wished she hadn't come.

"Xiao Ze~ Mommy's here~" I turned toward the voice and saw someone in an Emilia cosplay costume running over. I couldn't help but shake my head. I wanted to leave right away, but seeing "Emilia" sprinting toward me, I just couldn't bring myself to go.

Before I knew it, she was beside me. "Xiao Ze~ You didn't run away today! Mommy is so touched!"

I sighed. "If you know I'll bolt when you show up like this, why do you still come dressed like this?"

"Ta-da~ Isn't this adorable?"

Looking at my mom like this, I didn't know where to start being angry. I could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright, serious talk. Am I going straight back to that house today, or what?"

Mom put on a cute act and cooed, "Xiao Ze~ I want to give you a surprise tomorrow! So~ you'll stay at a hotel today! I've already got your school uniform and everything ready there."

"Fine, fine, I get it. You're over thirty—an old lady—stop acting cute."

As soon as I said that, Mom dramatically threw her arms around me, feigning heartbreak. "Saying that about me, Xiao Ze... it really hurts Mommy's feelings!"

Truth was, what I'd said wasn't true. Though Mom was indeed in her thirties, she looked like a girl just past twenty, with campus-beauty-queen-level looks.

"Alright, alright, my bad. Can we just go quickly? We're not here to be a laughingstock, are we?"

Mom's eyes suddenly sparkled with little stars. "Xiao Ze, how will you get there?"

Seeing her like that, I sighed. "Fine, fine, I get it. Today, I'll use my Superpower to get there."

Superpower, that's right! I am a Superpower user. I don't know if there are others in the world, but I haven't found any yet. Besides, I rarely use it. Relying too much on it would be disastrous if I suddenly lost it one day.

I pulled Mom to a quieter corner. "First, tell me the location and show me the map."

She pulled a map from her small shoulder bag. It had obvious highlighter marks all over it.

Seeing Mom's grinning face, I asked, "You planned for me to use my Superpower today, didn't you?"
