Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 978 Another movie screening

"Tickets bought! Wait a moment, I'm going to change my clothes, it's been a bit hot lately." Su Weiyu smiled apologetically and quickly disappeared out of the office.

When she returned to her dormitory occupied by the control bureau, the first thing she did was change out of her sticky pants. When she was changing clothes, she originally wanted to just change into a simple set of seasonal clothes, but after thinking about it, she put the bra she had picked up back and put on a summer short-sleeved shirt instead.

Anyway... only Ashou would notice.

Will he pretend he can't see it?

Regardless of whether he notices or not, Su Weiyu decided to pretend that she didn't notice and he did. She then took a shower and washed her hair, put on a hip-hop style baseball cap, wore athletic shorts, and went straight out.

Yes, that's enough. Hat, clothes, and pants. Anything more would just be a hindrance.

……

While Su Weiyu was changing her clothes, Xia Shou also changed into casual clothes. After all, this city had now become an abnormal city, and the staff of the Control Bureau also had their own uniforms. Wearing uniforms in daily life would be too conspicuous.

But as soon as Xia Shou changes into shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, he looks exactly like an ordinary student, just like a high school student who has just finished the college entrance examination and is about to go to university.

After all, he is only nineteen years old, which is the age when he should be in school. Even if he has dark circles under his eyes, people will only think that it is a mark left by staying up late playing games. No one will think that it is a glorious mark of a corporate slave.

"Mamoru!"

"Oh, you're here?" Xia Shou put down his phone and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Su Weiyu snapped her fingers casually: "I feel much better after taking a shower, let's go!"

Xia Shou's gaze instantly noticed the subtle abnormality in Su Weiyu's attire. She was only wearing a white cartoon T-shirt, which was very thin and the kind of style that any girl could easily buy online.

Yes, there was nothing wrong with that, but he could tell at a glance that Wei Yu was wearing one less layer!
An ordinary girl might not have noticed it so easily, but this short-sleeved shirt really did her figure a disservice, making her features stand out even more.

Did you forget because you were in such a rush to prepare for the shower?
That's certainly possible. After all, no one can see her anyway, and no one can control her style of dress. Xia Shou even has reason to suspect that she had always dressed like this before she met him, and that her underwear habit was something she was forced to develop after meeting him. Now she's just revealing the true nature of her daily habits over the past ten years.

"Let's go, I... how do we get there? Should we take a taxi?" Xia Shou completed his thought process with a reaction speed that a normal person could never achieve, and his gaze did not linger for more than 0.5 seconds.

“In the 16th century, we took a horse-drawn carriage to the capital and then a taxi back from Moonburn Village. Our backsides were practically rotting from the ride. Although it’s a bit hot, the cinema isn’t far from here. Let’s ride public bicycles there!” Su Weiyu suggested.

"Oh, great! Bicycles are more flexible and won't cause traffic jams." Xia Shou completely lost his composure, and his mind began to wander to some nonsensical things.

His intuition told him that perhaps Wei Yu was giving him a hint.

But Xia Shou's intuition was completely suppressed by his overwhelming rationality.

He knew he was ill, and he would dream about abnormal things. The information about Scorpion Spine also mentioned that part of Scorpion Spine's habits were related to reproduction, which made Xia Shou even more wary of his thoughts in that regard.

What makes humans human is their capacity for rational thought.

Besides, this is how Wei Yu has always lived. After such a high-intensity job, she wants to relax and forget some details. What's wrong with that?
Do you want to be like the captain who used to share a dorm room with me, thinking that every time a girl glances at you, you're being secretly admired, or that someone picking up your eraser is a way of hitting on you?
Xia Shou, you must not be defeated by instinct and desire. Xia Shou's eyes slowly calmed down.

The two walked onto the sidewalk. The sunlight was dazzling, making the asphalt road appear slightly white, but the weather wasn't hot enough to soften the asphalt. The heat was a bright, pleasant kind of heat.

I walked to the public bicycle under the shade of the tree, scanned the code to unlock it, and stood under the swaying shadows of the tree, looking at the bright white street outside. There were young girls holding parasols and teenagers carrying shoulder bags, as well as groups of students on vacation and brown-skinned PE students playing basketball.

For a moment, Xia Shou was in a daze. This inexplicable sense of peace and tranquility overwhelmed him, making him feel an unparalleled and immense happiness.

This is a kind of happiness that ordinary people cannot feel. Only those who have truly crawled back from hell can appreciate the beauty in the smallest details amidst such a stark contrast.

Many of them probably know nothing, even though there are abnormal news reports everywhere on the streets. Under the control of the Bureau of Control, all the news provided is still in a ratio of 8:2, good to bad.

Even after awakening, ordinary people who have entered the real world are initially exposed to a hopeful and extraordinary real world under the protection of the Bureau of Control... Although the dangers have increased by 100%, the wonderful life has changed by more than 100%.

"I've been accepted into the university's newly established Department of Anomalies Taxonomy!"

"Holy crap, that's awesome! I'm so envious of you. I also want to go into this department, but my parents say that working in the Bureau of Control is too dangerous and they won't let me fill in the application."

"This is a newly added department after all. I heard there will be a selection process later. Originally, it only admitted people who studied this subject in elementary, middle and high school, but it seems that the system has been slightly adjusted this time, which is why I was able to get in."

Three boys carrying popsicles walked past them, chatting and laughing, a scene that once again deeply impacted Xia Shou.

He's probably only a year older than them.

Ironically, this guy, who was almost killed by Sprite just six hours ago, hasn't even finished watching the Bureau's advanced online course yet; he's only watched the general knowledge version. When that kid graduates, he'll probably know more than him.

"What a youth."

"What a youth."

Xia Shou and Su Weiyu sighed in unison.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

Su Weiyu smiled with narrowed eyes, her gaze fixed on Xia Shou's face.

Seeing Xia Shou dressed casually and standing with the young students, Su Weiyu realized that Xia Shou had another special quality.

Despite being so young, she is capable of doing jobs that only adults can do.

Even in an extremely dangerous and deadly environment, he was able to remain calm.

If you were to go see an ordinary movie with someone like that, there's probably no one in the world who knows how to enjoy life better than Ashou.

Honestly, how can someone be so exceptionally handsome?

The two rode their bicycles towards the movie theater, riding under the shade of the trees along the bicycle path, occasionally dodging illegally parked cars and children crossing the road.

A gentle breeze blew into the cuffs of her short-sleeved shirt as she walked by. Su Weiyu suddenly asked, "A-Shou, I remember you said you've never been in a relationship, right?"
