"The power suddenly went out in the hospital room, and all the equipment failed. While the doctors and nurses were in a panic, I suddenly sat up and pointed at the light on the ceiling, saying, 'I'll do it.' Then, the light turned on." Nezha recalled, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Everyone was stunned, including myself. At that moment, I felt something awaken inside me, like a long-dormant flame."
"What happened next?" Ao Bing asked.
"My abilities became more and more apparent. When I got excited, electrical appliances would malfunction; when I was angry, sparks would fly from my fingers; when I was scared, the lights around me would flicker..." Nezha continued. "My parents took me to see many doctors and underwent various tests, but no one could explain this phenomenon. In the end, they decided to keep it a secret and taught me how to control my emotions and abilities."
"So that's why your parents seem so strict?" Ao Bing inquired, recalling what Nezha had mentioned about his family situation.
Nezha nodded. "Especially my dad; he was always afraid I would lose control and hurt someone or expose my identity. Every time I made a mistake or threw a tantrum, he would get particularly anxious, wanting to lock me up at home."
"He was protecting you," Ao Bing said softly. "In this world, being different often means danger."
"I know," Nezha sighed. "But as a child, I didn't understand; I always felt he was deliberately making things difficult for me, not letting me play or make friends like other kids."
"Do you understand him now?" Ao Bing asked gently.
Nezha thought for a moment before nodding. "I understand, but sometimes I still can't help but rebel. That feeling of being constrained is like a bird in a cage, unable to fly freely."
A deep resonance flickered in Ao Bing's eyes. "I understand that feeling."
The two fell into silence again, but this time it was more comfortable, filled with understanding and camaraderie. The rain continued to fall outside, while the warmth of their honest exchange filled the room.
Suddenly, Nezha laughed. "I never expected we would be so similar. One controls fire, the other controls water; it sounds just like some superhero movie setup."
Ao Bing smiled slightly, "It does have a certain... dramatic flair."
"Do you think this could be fate's arrangement?" Nezha asked half-jokingly, "To make us roommates and discover each other's secrets?"
Ao Bing gazed thoughtfully out the window. "Perhaps. There are no true coincidences in this world; every seemingly accidental encounter might hold a deeper significance."
"What does that mean?" Nezha asked curiously.
Ao Bing shook his head. "I don't know. But I feel that our meeting is just the beginning of something much larger."
There was a strange premonition in his tone that sent a chill down Nezha's spine. But soon, Nezha regained his usual optimistic demeanor. "Whatever! Since we've met, let's get along well! At least now we don't have to hide anything from each other."
As Ao Bing looked at Nezha's sunny smile, something deep within him seemed to stir. He had always lived under the heavy pressure of rules and responsibilities, rarely having the chance to express himself freely like Nezha did. Perhaps this was the meaning of their encounter—to teach each other how to live better in their own ways.
"Yes, no more hiding," Ao Bing said softly, but a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, as if there were still deeper secrets yet to be unveiled.
