Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 934 Past Dreams

Carter casually remarked, "An idol as beautiful as Su Yue has so many admirers; it's hard to imagine she doesn't have a boyfriend."

"She just doesn't have a boyfriend," Li Mingzheng said confidently.

"Teacher Li used to be in the entertainment industry. The relationships between men and women in the entertainment industry must be very chaotic, right?"

“Indeed, but Xiaoyue is different. She’s not one of us, which is why I like her. Besides, she’s not really in the entertainment industry anymore. She’s joined the Control Bureau, and being an idol is just a facade.” Li Mingzheng smiled, mentioning Su Yue as if he were talking about his wonderful fiancée.

Cardi nodded in agreement, "It's rare for someone to remain untainted by the mud, which is why she seems so special to you."

"Yes, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I just saw you watching the live stream and it made me think of something. I was wondering why Su Yue, at her age and in that circle, is able to refuse romantic relationships? Is it simply because of her strict family rules? I've seen plenty of families with strict rules, but unless you don't want to, no one can stop you from doing what you want. Are it rare to see rich girls having early romances and rich kids doing bad things?"

“I… don’t quite understand.” Li Mingzheng frowned.

"So, Su Yue is able to maintain her purity in that circle because she doesn't want to associate with ordinary people. Otherwise, I find it hard to understand how a woman could reject such an outstanding man as you. Teacher Li was very popular before, wasn't he?"

"That... is indeed true." Li Mingzheng guiltily averted his gaze.

He was indeed very popular. The group of brainless women in his fan club were his outlet for sexual desire. At that time, apart from being somewhat impotent in a certain area, he was incredibly charming in every other way. In any case, almost no woman ever rejected his advances. She didn't even need to pursue him; a little hint was enough.

"Maybe they look down on my character," Li Mingzheng said, trying to justify his actions.

Carter said, "Perhaps it was just because you were a mortal back then. Now you know that Su Yue has the blood of a mythical anomaly flowing in her veins. She has an unusual attraction to others, and of course, she will also have a desire for certain special people."

She used to just hang out with ordinary people, which is why she wasn't interested in the people around her. But now that he's joined the Control Bureau, there aren't any ordinary people around her anymore.

Before, she was like a human woman living among a group of monkeys; no matter how charming the male monkeys were, they couldn't attract her. But now that she's joined the Control Bureau, it's like returning to normal human society, and everyone around her has become one of her kind. So I think…”

Carter paused deliberately, noticing the obvious fear and anxiety on Li Mingzheng's face.

He continued to fuel her imagination: "Just now in the live stream, Su Yue said that her agent had something urgent to discuss with her, but that's impossible. She's currently on a mission near the canyon. Being a celebrity is no longer her job; she's only showing her face in public to maintain that identity."

Li Mingzheng then realized: "So there's been a change on the side of the Heart of the Rending King?"

“That shouldn’t be the case. If it were really that urgent, the control bureau would have just faked a live stream interruption and cut it off. They wouldn’t have wasted those ten-odd seconds of farewell time. So I think… it must be a private matter,” Carter said.

In fact, his reasons were not sufficient at all, but they were more than enough to create a sense of crisis for Li Mingzheng. He knew very well that once Su Yue's issue was involved, Li Mingzheng would be no different from an idiot.

Sure enough, Li Mingzheng was dumbfounded; his brain was completely overloaded.

Carter continued, "In the replay of the live stream, it was obvious that there was a period of time when she was replying to messages even though she had her phone off-screen. You can see that if you look closely."

Li Mingzheng was taken aback, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief, as if he had found some irrefutable evidence: "Mr. Carter, your idea really startled me, but thinking about it carefully, it's actually impossible. My understanding of acting and micro-expressions has long surpassed the limits of normal people. Just like the audience at the Dream Theater, they only feel that the performances of ordinary actors are fake. But what Xiaoyue just said was all sincere, whether it was her answer about love or her final departure. Of course, it was a lie that she wanted to focus on university, but it was definitely true that she wasn't interested in love. I could tell that."

Furthermore, Mr. Carter, you said that her lack of interest in ordinary men is due to her bloodline, but I think family factors also play a significant role, and she proved during the War of the Divine Laws that bloodline has little influence on her.”

Carter: "Mr. Li, William once told me something. After you came back from the movie hotel, you were in a coma and had a fever for a long time. When you woke up, you said you had forgotten many details, but the servant who took care of you said you were talking in your sleep."

"Huh? Talking in your sleep?"

“I didn’t want to talk about this because what you said in the dream was a bit vulgar, but now I think… maybe it’s because your subconscious wants to forget those things.”

Li Mingzheng's Adam's apple bobbed: "What...what did I say back then?"

“Hmm, it seems to be something like ‘why do you like him,’ ‘why do you become a mistress,’ and something like ‘slutty bitch.’ I think… this shouldn’t be an insult to Su Yue, right?” Carter politely reminded her, going around in circles.

Li Mingzheng's face immediately turned pale. He felt as if something he was about to forget was wriggling deep in his mind, like an earthworm burrowing into the mud after the rain, about to crawl out for air.

"I... I remember now, it seems like I had a nightmare back then, it felt so real." Li Mingzheng's face smiled insincerely, like a mask.

……

……

I'm a huge hotel fan.

Why the sudden rush?

Xia Shou watched as Yun Xiao (Su Yue) walked into the room, took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, then tossed her hair and walked towards him somewhat shyly.

She was still wearing the McDonald's paper bag headgear, but it was clear that this time the paper bag was different from the last one. The edges of the eye holes were smoother, and the surface of the paper bag had a slightly shiny sheen, which meant that they had probably tampered with the paper material.

This guy... commissioned something like this after he went back last time? Why not just wear a simple mask? Wearing a fake mask or anything else would be fine, why does he have to use a McDonald's paper bag?

Wasn't the mask at the ball last time great? Why did you switch back?

They don't even want to reveal their hairstyle.

"The paper bag is quite unique," Xia Shou said.

"Hmm... I reinforced it a little, and I feel safer with this one."

Su Yue looked at Xia Shou, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with his clothes still on, and for a moment, she didn't know where to start.

What should she do next?
