Hu Chen looked at Gu Qianxue for several seconds and with some hesitation asked in a very low voice, "Elder brother Xie.... You and them... Are you all really human?"
Hu Chen's question took Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Shen Xinya, and Yao Mei completely unawares. Regardless of the age of each of them and regardless of how long it had been since they had known Hu Chen, none of the four girls knew how to react to a question that in most cases would be taken as a joke or even as a sign of mental problems.
However, none of the four girls mentioned above were really normal. In fact, the most normal of them, Xie Yao, was the first to become the lover of the person to whom the question of Hu Chen was directed. Therefore, while the question "are you all really human?" might be weird to any other member of this world, it was not weird to them.
"Why do you ask that?" Xie Feng did not answer Hu Chen's question right away and instead surprised him with another question.
