"Dammit, what am I going to do about my love life?" Yang Xiaoyou sighed as he opened his eyes. It was a brand new morning, yet he couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration.
Last night, Charming Shadow had just played a trick on the promising Ren Gongzi, and not long after arriving at the room arranged for the three of them, Yang Xiaoyou found himself experiencing a similar fate.
He had planned everything out; the inner room was meant for Dream Butterfly to rest. After lulling her to sleep, he thought it would be fine for him and Charming Shadow to have some fun outside.
However, it was clear that he had underestimated Dream Butterfly's curiosity and keen perception.
Just as he was about to charge into action outside, the door swung open, and there stood a fellow with a curious and bewildered expression, openly staring at the two of them.
In the end, Yang Xiaoyou found himself sleeping alone outside while Charming Shadow stayed inside with Dream Butterfly. The situation had left him nearly exhausted.
Now that he had just woken up, Yang Xiaoyou felt a familiar sensation beside him. Turning his head, he discovered that the adorable girl was peacefully sleeping on his chest, her lips glistening with a hint of sweetness.
Her bare thigh was ungracefully draped over his lower body, almost brushing against his arousal. He wondered when she had sleepwalked over during the night.
Due to last night's events and the morning's impulses, Yang Xiaoyou almost reached out with his hand. However, seeing her look of comfort and trust extinguished any lingering desire like a bucket of cold water.
Perhaps it was due to their shared experiences. This Original Infected Body girl seemed to have some level of dependency on him while harboring an instinctive fear of the outside world.
Recalling his own memories of enduring a long period filled with deep-seated paranoia upon gaining consciousness, Yang Xiaoyou could understand some of her psychological state.
Even now, despite Hive Security Company achieving such success and their cutting-edge Force rivaling or even surpassing some special operations units, that lingering feeling deep within him had not dissipated. It was easy to imagine how much more profound the impact would be on Dream Butterfly, who had been confined for an even longer time. Perhaps her reluctance to go outside stemmed from this very fear.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but gently scratch her soft cheek with his finger before caressing her delicate lips. He pinched her nose playfully until she stirred awake.
"You're bullying me," Dream Butterfly mumbled groggily as she opened her eyes to face her tormentor. Though she seemed somewhat displeased, her tone remained cool and calm.
She seemed to have noticed the strange sensation on her leg. After fidgeting for a moment, she appeared to want to reach down and check, but was quickly subdued by Yang Xiaoyou and tossed into the room of Charming Shadow, who remained oblivious to the situation.
When Charming Shadow woke up, she was exceptionally surprised to find that Dream Butterfly had managed to sneak out without her noticing. As a top assassin, if someone could approach her bed without detection, it would be fatal.
“Master, she—!” Charming Shadow exclaimed in shock as she saw Dream Butterfly being tossed over like a pet. She immediately began inspecting her, seemingly trying to understand how Dream Butterfly had completely masked her presence.
Yang Xiaoyou, feeling a bit frazzled and nearly sporting dark circles under her eyes, rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t provoke her. You’ll regret it. I’m going to cool off for a bit.”
Just as Yang Xiaoyou finished speaking, Charming Shadow felt a sudden sharp pain in her head, causing her to instinctively release her grip. She held her head, looking at Idol Sister with a mix of confusion and concern.
“Finally understand why I learned to smoke in my memories,” Yang Xiaoyou said, awkwardly holding a cigarette butt between her fingers as she lay on a rock exposed by the receding tide, gazing at the sea.
The unique way her brain processed emotions made it much easier for Yang Xiaoyou to suppress fluctuations on her own rather than relying on external factors.
While gaining memories, she hadn’t picked up habits like smoking.
However, after completely relaxing and not resisting the urge to reject it, she found that sometimes this habit had its uses.
“Excuse me, you must be Dream Butterfly’s attendant. Could you share if the rumored concert by Dream Butterfly is actually going to happen? Hehe, she seems a bit shy; I finally understand why she doesn’t hold these events often. So cute, untouched by the mud,” the Tour Guide Sister asked playfully as she approached Yang Xiaoyou on the beach in a one-piece swimsuit.
After applying light makeup to conceal some faint freckles, the Tour Guide Sister’s appearance was still above average; it was just that much of her shine had been overshadowed by Charming Shadow along the way.
It was clear that she was a brain-dead fan of Dream Butterfly, viewing her shyness and introversion as endearing traits. Indeed, nothing is absolute; any situation can yield different conclusions from various perspectives.
“It should be happening; if nothing unexpected occurs, probably at the end of the month. Hasn’t it been publicly announced yet? But then again, whether it happens or not is still uncertain,” Yang Xiaoyou replied nonchalantly, unconcerned about the misunderstanding. If she revealed their true relationship, it would likely lead to complications.
Just as the Tour Guide Sister was about to ask something more, a sharp sound echoed from a distance.
Upon hearing the noise, Yang Xiaoyou's pupils constricted; it was the sound of a gunshot.
Although the direction was not from their Travel Agency's villa, it wasn't too far away either—it came from an adjacent villa.
"Caliber... hmm, standard police firearm. Given the distance, the target definitely isn't us; it must be next door." Quickly flipping through some parameters in her mind, Yang Xiaoyou unexpectedly locked onto the location of the gunfire. She even projected the distance and precise coordinates in her mind.
However, her sudden and swift movements startled the Tour Guide Sister, who thought she might have suddenly gone wild. The sound was faint against the backdrop of crashing waves, and she could barely make out what it was.
"Is that villa part of your tour group?" Yang Xiaoyou casually asked, noticing the guide's cautious demeanor. She pointed towards another villa about two or three hundred meters away, mostly obscured by greenery from their viewpoint.
"No. That's a private villa. If I remember correctly, it used to belong to a Real Estate Tycoon, but I think it was mortgaged to a Foreign Company due to bankruptcy." After a moment of vigilance, the Tour Guide Sister continued with her explanation.
"Foreign Company? Interesting. But never mind; it has nothing to do with us." A glimmer of interest flashed in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes before she ultimately shook her head.
She was here on vacation, accompanied by that elderly lady. She could only hope that no murder would occur to attract police investigations that would end up questioning her group. As for anything else, it had nothing to do with her.
Perhaps because the gunfire erupted from the neighboring villa, it maximized the likelihood that those involved had no connection to her group. Otherwise, if they knew about Charming Shadow's capabilities, they certainly wouldn't engage in such reckless behavior that would raise alarms and put her group on high alert.
"**! If I catch him, I'll make sure to ruin his life! Which bastard fired that shot!" Mo Ru, who had just entered the villa area and was preparing to scout for targets and layout plans for Blade, widened her Goldfish Eyes. Her pale face looked even more sinister.
Given the target's strength in this area, there was a high chance they heard that gunshot. If they spooked them into fleeing, who knew when they would find them again? That was a top-tier assassin with exceptional professional skills; their current success in locating them was purely due to luck and the target's lack of caution.
"Don't rush. Creating this chaotic situation may not be a bad thing for us. The target, upon realizing that the gunfire wasn't aimed at her, will, to some extent, relax the security of another aspect. However, we need to delay our actions a bit; letting her confirm that the gunfire isn't directed at her before we strike suddenly could yield surprising results." Wolf Tooth didn't want to partner with this unsightly fellow, but since it was part of the mission arrangement, they still needed to cooperate. His calm and indifferent words hit the nail on the head.
If the target escapes, then even if we speed up now, it would be useless. Taking it slow might still present an opportunity; sometimes, losing a horse can lead to unexpected fortune.
After hearing this, Blade managed to suppress his emotions.
"Aren't we supposed to avoid using guns? That was just a symbolic deterrent! We're here to invite someone, not to kidnap them! Tsk, now we've not only intensified the conflict between both sides but also possibly attracted police attention!" Liu Lianyue, wearing a cap and a red shirt that was nearly torn apart by her ample curves, exuded vitality and energy with her sleeveless vest.
However, her expression was quite grim as she looked at the newcomer who had just been assigned to her team.
Sometimes she really didn't understand what Leader was thinking. How could he agree to let that group of already bureaucratically corrupt higher-ups infiltrate their ranks? Did he really have such confidence that he could ultimately turn the tables on his opponents?
Moreover, she found the idea of inviting that Weapons Merchant rather surprising. What could they possibly collaborate on with a vampire who profits from war? The light weapons she had already acquired through other channels should have been sufficient. Was there a desire for a large quantity of arms?
The goal wasn't to start a war; given the nature of Radicals, light weapons were clearly more practical.
However, recently Leader had indeed made several unexpected moves that turned the tables on their opponents, nearly crippling the upper echelons of the Common Unity Party and forcing them into compromises. Perhaps this was all part of his plan for the future.
So even though Liu Lianyue had her doubts, she still trusted him enough to personally bring people over to invite that Weapons Merchant for discussions. Unfortunately, everything was ruined by that new fellow.
