Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 132, Section 6: Intense Ideological Struggle in the Washroom
—Hotel. Second floor room—

He Ye was staring blankly at the scissors she was using to trim hair.

It's 11 a.m., almost noon. In another hour, the special plane bound for the capital of Country B will land at the airport in Vermanese to welcome their star team home and bring the Dandelion Project to a perfect end.

But now there's a problem.

After a moment of dejection, He Ye came to her senses and began trimming the black hair on her forehead with scissors. The fine strands of hair slowly fell into the sink in the bathroom, her movements unhurried and natural, like a gentle breeze brushing against willow leaves.

For almost ten years since she came into this world, He Ye has always cut her own hair.

Haircuts are for taking care of one's appearance.

Since I'm about to meet with people from headquarters, this will make He Ye appear more serious.

Of course, maintaining a presentable appearance is important... but what troubles He Ye is thinking about is not that, but what happened in the next room a few hours ago.

It filled He Ye with melancholy.

In the bathroom mirror, you could see that his lower lip was cut, the bleeding had stopped, and it was turning white.

It was obvious that he was bitten by a girl.

He Ye wanted to say that if you don't know how to kiss, then don't kiss. When you attacked me at night, you gave me a French kiss, and the kiss in the next room just now was even more like biting. The feeling of suffocation from drowning wasn't so scary.

He Ye was truly afraid of Yugiri.

Not to mention that he now knows she likes him.

This is not some kind of dependent 'feigned affection,' but rather a feeling of 'wanting to stay by your side' that can be directly expressed no matter what—although He Ye has never been in a serious relationship, he is not a block of wood, and he can be sure that this level of feeling is love.

When he learned the truth, he was shocked, so shocked that it stirred up a huge wave of emotions.

I thought to myself, is this for real? This clueless girl who can't even read a traffic light when she goes out actually likes me?
As for now?

He Ye came to her senses and felt guilty.

Feeling guilty has two aspects.

On a minor note, He Ye doesn't feel he can openly accept this affection because he doesn't have those feelings. Liking someone is a matter of mutual consent, and such matters require careful consideration.

The most important thing is that she loves herself.

As one of the spies in the CORE Special Affairs Bureau, He Ye knew that he could not develop a romantic relationship with his colleagues.

The reason the two were assigned to be together in the first place was also due to this concern. At that time, among the spies in Green City, the superiors at headquarters had carefully selected He Ye and Yugiri to form a family because it was the best combination.

The organization trusts He Ye because of his background: he's been to war, is an orphan, and there are even rumors that he's unmoved by confessions from juniors. It's safe to assume he'll have no problems getting along with CORE's humanoid weapon.

After all, one was cold and ruthless, and the other was oblivious to emotions. They were drinking and clapping, naming the project the Dandelion Project, since its flower symbolizes emotions that cannot be conveyed. What a flavorful ace combination!

Just a few hours earlier, He Ye had his lips bitten by someone next door.

If Nicole hadn't arrived in time, we might have had to eat it a second time.

Oh my god, let's not even talk about whether He Ye will be put in solitary confinement if this gets out, I'm afraid the old guys at headquarters will need heart medication to cope with this shocking news.

After all, the 23-year-old black-haired, beautiful young woman codenamed "Yugiri" is actually CORE's only weapon of mass destruction. She's such a sharp blade, yet now she's fallen in love and has someone she loves. Who can guarantee that she'll still carry out orders without hesitation? Who knows, if she were sent to her death one day, Yugiri might just quit on the spot... Thinking about this made Heno feel a little bitter, so she didn't want to think about it anymore.

In short, I'll be meeting with the people from headquarters soon. When I board the plane, they'll extend their hands with tears of gratitude, saying they've worked so hard and will arrange a full range of services for me as soon as I get home. They'll say the two of them must have been through so much hardship. But then I'll turn around and see Yugiri tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and biting her lip. How embarrassing would that be?
More importantly, the people at CORE will find out about this.

So this is what He Ye is worried about.

Tools don't need to have feelings. He Ye can explain her loyalty for now, but Xi Wu Li certainly can't accept the same punishment as herself, which is just light confinement.

Perhaps the people at headquarters will use extreme measures to make her forget that memory, or even more terrifying methods.

These are not the things He Ye wanted to see.

Before I knew it, my fine black hair had been trimmed.

Looking at the handsome and clean-cut young man in the mirror, He Ye pursed his lips, trying to smile, but in the end he just took a complicated breath.

Then he cleaned the sink in the washroom.

Actually, the solution had already been thought of: let Yugiri lie. Whenever someone in the organization asked, she would pretend that there was no romantic relationship between them and get away with it.

After all, even He Ye, who had spent so much time with her, hadn't realized that she liked him.

Needless to say, the old guard at headquarters...

As long as she doesn't pull down He Ye's collar and try to kiss him in public, it's fine.

And without a doubt, explaining the plan to lie required a lengthy explanation to Yugiri.

Now, He Ye is a little afraid to face Xi Wu alone anymore, and his melancholy stems from this—he has figured out a solution for the CORE Special Affairs Bureau matter, but the fact that Sophia really likes him is not easy to resolve.

Two days ago, He Ye learned that a certain proud, light blonde girl liked him, and she felt a little sentimental, thinking, "I'm so sorry for letting her down..."

Now another childhood sweetheart with black hair and red eyes has appeared. Isn't this going to make He Ye build a harem?

He considered himself a pure-love warrior; how could he be so casual about it!
Thinking of this, He Ye even sadly held her forehead and threw down the scissors. Looking in the mirror, she wished that the person inside would pat her on the shoulder and say, "Let's start a harem then. After all, it's normal for someone as handsome as you to be loved by multiple girls."

But that's just wishful thinking. At least He Ye still has some bottom line. He thought that maybe he wouldn't see Lolis again, and accepting Xi Wu would be fine. But that's just a domineering CEO forcing love into a scenario. If, if...

Couldn't you just give him a busty woman to ease his dilemma?
However, these are not things that can be solved by thinking about them now; we will only know when we reach the future.

Let's take it one step at a time...

He Ye took a deep breath and finally decided to stay true to his conscience, shaking his head to banish these thoughts.

Instead, she forced a smile at herself in the mirror, looking so easygoing and gentle, but it seemed a little... forced.

He pushed open the door to the washroom.

Nicole stood in the doorway, hands on her hips.

"Sir!" Her soft voice drifted over, as if she wanted to devour He Ye.

He Ye then remembered that Nicole, who was sitting outside, still had something to take care of.
