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

Chen Yuan always wondered what it would have been like if he had never met Xia Xinyu.


Or, to put it another way, what would have happened if Xia Xinyu had already died when they met.


Leaving other things aside, just consider the romance aspect.


If Li Youyou had confessed her feelings to him, he probably would have outright rejected her.


After all, she was no different from the girls he had rejected in junior high—not that she was ugly or that her personality was especially awful, just that he felt no spark.


But likely, the feeling wouldn't be there either.


Without Xia Xinyu, it's natural to think that Zhou Fu might slowly develop feelings for him...


However, there's also the consideration that Zhou Fu might not actually like him.


Perhaps her diligent payment of the Friend Fee was only because she needed a friend.
