The other two

Sangxiao was somewhat stunned. She decided to take the risk and be truthful." Yes, I do. Do you? "

To her surprise the person on the other line was just as candid. " Yes, I have supernatural abilities as well. I called you because I saw your image in my mind, and thought that you might be another,well, superhuman, I guess? I expect you thought the same."

" You guessed right. I saw your image too, and suspected the same," replied Sangxiao. Actually that was a half-lie, since she and Gege had not agreed on that, but it was best not to let Yuan Zhongxin know that.

"Listen, how about we meet up? Aside from you, there is my brother and another girl who most probably also has supernatural powers. We can - err, discuss about these powers."

Yuan Zhongxin let out a scornful laugh.

" Discuss? Or, more accurately, destroy?"

Xuekai immediately defended themselves, saying,"We are not that kind of shameless people! We just want to find out how these powers came to us of all people! If you don't trust us, fine, but don't regret it!"

Yuan Zhongxin was silent for a while, as if contemplating his words. After some time, he finally replied, " 1pm tomorrow at Haishi Café." Then he hung up.

Xuekai glanced at Sangxiao with a " I knew it look."

Sangxiao scowled and immediately changed the topic. " Let's call Fan Xiying."

" Sure. I'll do the calling," replied Xuekai. He then dialled the number on Fan Xiying's profile. It rang for a few times before getting through.

" Hello?" The voice that came through was sweet and mild, transfixing Xuekai for a few seconds before returning to his senses. He assumed that as Sangxiao had seen Yuan Zhongxin's image and Yuan Zhongxin had seen hers, then Fan Xiying must have seen his image. Thus, Xuekai decided to be as straightforward as possible.

"I am Shao Xuekai, the person in the image you saw. Like you, I have supernatural abilities. Can we meet up to discuss how this mysterious power came into existence in our bodies?"

" Ho - how did you know that I saw you?" Fan Xiying asked, her voice somewhat trembling.

" Because I saw you too, and my sister and someone else saw each other. Therefore, I assumed that you would see me."

Fan Xiying kept silent for a while before asking," You do not have any hidden intentions, do you?"

"Of course not."

" Fine. Where shall we meet? "

" 1pm tomorrow at Haishi Café. Is that okay with you?"

"It should be okay. See you then." Fan Xiying then hung up.

Xuekai looked at Sangxiao, who returned his gaze enquiringly.

" Are you nervous?" he asked.

"Nervous?" she laughed rather scornfully. "Why should I be nervous?"

Nevertheless, the four of them felt tense the whole day, even though they pretended to be as usual. As they went to bed at night, they could hardly sleep, knowing that tomorrow's " gathering" would likely change their lives for good.
