A piece of snow cake

Chen Yuan found that his superpowers refreshed every week.
The first week, he noticed a red number attached to any object that exhibited signs of life, ranging from hundreds, thousands, to tens of thousands, and more. The smallest number he had ever seen was 0.00001, atop a teddy bear. A second later, a large truck crushed it.
The second week, he discovered he could hear others' inner voices, uncontrollable. Whatever they thought, they would continuously pour into his head, keeping him from daring to visit places like subways and shopping malls. Moreover, he no longer dared to directly look at the girl with bangs sitting in the back seat who usually kept quiet...
Subsequently, he refreshed other special abilities such as Dream Connection and Body Swapping.
Several weeks later, his superpowers stopped updating. After several peaceful days, he was ready to return to his normal life. Yet, a girl wearing red stood under a gingko tree, tilted her head at him, and asked: "Can you see me?"

My Superpower Refreshes Every Week

After boarding the bus, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan chose a pair of window seats in the back row.


As soon as she was seated, Xia Xinyu took out her English book and began silently mouthing the words without making a sound.


Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, having boarded the bus, plugged in his earphones and closed his eyes to listen to music.


"What are you listening to?" Xia Xinyu asked curiously.


Although there were fewer people on the bus than on the subway, within such a confined space, few dozen people were present, and there would usually be no fewer than two sending out their inner voices. When it was crowded, it was like having a Tencent Cloud meeting inside one's own head, the voices chattering non-stop.


Only by wearing headphones and turning the music up as loud as possible could he find some peace.


"Listening to English songs, memorizing words," Chen Yuan replied faintly, without opening his eyes.
