"No, the word 'steal' is indeed too dirty and vulgar. To be precise, it's 'borrow,' doesn't that sound much better... Hmm, why are you staring at me like that? Do you think it makes your eyes look bigger?"
"Steal my superpower?" Gu Zhuo asked in a deep voice while wiping sweat with a towel, his head bowed.
