Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 585: Doesn’t That Make Us Even?

"In other words, if I really encounter some major event, I can only choose one person to sense. And, if I choose that one person, then I won’t be able to sense others for a certain period of time."

"And that’s not the only condition. There’s also a very important condition, which is that the other person’s emotional fluctuation must be particularly large," Zhao Gushen said.

"Everyone has a sense of caution, especially between strangers, or when they’re not very familiar with each other. Instinctively, they will erect a barrier."

"Even among friends and siblings, or family members, there are different degrees of barriers. It’s rare to be completely relaxed," Zhao Gushen said.

"It’s even more rare in moments of no caution and when unable to control one’s emotions," Zhao Gushen said. "Therefore, to truly sense the other person’s thoughts, it’s actually quite difficult to meet the conditions. It has to be when the other person is completely unguarded and emotions are greatly fluctuating."

"Like you, although you have no defenses against me, I can’t sense anything unless you’re really angry or surprised."

"Additionally, I must look into the other person’s eyes to sense anything," Zhao Gushen added, "Only after meeting all these conditions can I sense your thoughts."

"Just like when you were extremely shocked upon hearing my ability as the Family Head, and you have no defenses against me. But at that moment, your emotions fluctuated greatly and you looked up at me. Only fulfilling these conditions, I could know what you were thinking."

"Usually, when you’re with me, do your emotions fluctuate greatly at all times?" Zhao Gushen asked.

Ye Fei thought about it and realized such moments were indeed rare.

Otherwise, wouldn’t she always be in a state of excitement?

Not only would Zhao Gushen not tire of hearing, but she would also exhaust herself with excitement.

"I never told you because I was worried that after knowing you would feel uncomfortable, that being with me wouldn’t feel private, that being with me would be tiring, and you’d have to guard against me knowing your thoughts."

"But actually, even if I want to sense, it’s not passive reception. I also need to focus intently to hear. When I am relaxed, I don’t go around sensing these things."

"You..." Zhao Gushen looked at Ye Fei nervously, "What are you thinking?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Being with me, under such circumstances, do you feel pressured?" Zhao Gushen could imagine.

If someone around you could hear your inner thoughts, anyone would find it hard to accept and wouldn’t want to be near them. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Having all your thoughts heard, with no sense of privacy.

That isn’t good.

Even though he truly can’t sense everything.

Everything he told Ye Fei was true.

Only after fulfilling so many conditions and he actively concentrating to sense, could he know anything.

Usually, when he doesn’t use this ability, he really hears nothing.

But he was afraid Ye Fei wouldn’t believe him.

Afraid Ye Fei would feel uneasy.

Afraid that Ye Fei would feel uncomfortable being with him.

"I believe what you say. You say you won’t sense my thoughts, then that’s the case. Besides, constantly focusing on listening to someone else’s thoughts sounds exhausting," Ye Fei said.

"Actually, this sounds frightening, yet it’s a double-edged sword. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Knowing everything so clearly, knowing when others curse you, when others hold dissatisfaction towards you, would be quite tiring."

"That’s too difficult." Zhao Gushen said, "I have to put in great effort. I can’t easily sense someone’s thoughts. Even if I want to sense, I need to work hard to do so. Not to mention causing the person’s emotional fluctuations and looking into their eyes."

Ye Fei thought for a while, and realized such scenarios hardly existed between them.

"Only in one situation can it be a bit easier, which is with Grandpa and my dad. Among the three generations of Family Heads, although our capabilities differ, there’s an invisible link between us. This makes it relatively easier for me to sense their thoughts. But only for the two of them," Zhao Gushen supplemented.

"Xiao Fei." Zhao Gushen called seriously, "Honestly tell me, even with me like this, are you still willing to be with me? Or rather, can you be by my side with complete ease and no reservations?"

"Would you feel uncomfortable, awkward?" Zhao Gushen asked her, "Are you constantly worried, fearing that I would probe into your privacy?"

Zhao Gushen looked nervously at Ye Fei.

He was truly afraid, afraid that Ye Fei would leave him because of this.

Afraid that Ye Fei would not want to be with him anymore because of this.

This feeling was just like back then, as if it returned to the time when he arranged everything at home, waiting for Ye Fei and Xiao Mo to move in.

But he didn’t know if Ye Fei was willing.

When he brought it up that night, his heart had never felt so nervous.

But now, the tension in his heart was even greater than that night.

It wasn’t even comparable to that night.

That night, he was afraid Ye Fei would reject him.

And now, he’s afraid Ye Fei would leave him.

Zhao Gushen’s eyes were fixed tightly on Ye Fei.

Even his hands unconsciously held her tightly, because he was afraid she’d leave, he unknowingly grasped tightly.

So tight that Ye Fei felt a bit of pain, but she did not tell him.

From his gaze, from the strength of his hands, Ye Fei could clearly feel Zhao Gushen’s tension.

Ye Fei shook her head, "No, I believe you."

"Since you’ve told me this way, then it must be true," Ye Fei said.

"Also, because of this, I’m rather relieved instead," Ye Fei smiled.

This time, Zhao Gushen was puzzled.

It was rare to see him looking somewhat bewildered and particularly confused.

Such an expression was really rare on his face.

So Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile again.

Then, Ye Fei said, "I was always worried my family issues would become a conflict between us. Eventually, it would make you feel annoyed."

"And you worry your ability would make me feel pressured and uncomfortable," Ye Fei laughed and shrugged, "Doesn’t this make us even?"

Zhao Gushen froze for a moment, then smiled with relief.

Such evening of account, only this little girl could come up with it.

To him, how could they possibly be even?

Regarding Ye Fei’s family matters, compared to her family’s level, how could they be compared to his troubles?

Not just the Family Head ability, but also those complex individuals in the Zhao Family.

The troubles he brought to her would indeed be much more.
