Chapter 95 A Trap
The three-day recording of the variety show ended quickly. After having dinner with the production team that day, Zhou Jiu followed Qiao Shiyi back to his residence.
"Aren't you afraid people will take pictures of you like this? I've been reading a lot of gossip lately, and it seems like scandals are very easy to come by in your line of work." Zhou Jiu was browsing the internet with Qiao Shiyi's device, looking at the trending topics about Ancient Blue Star that Sun You had recently created, and she herself was frequently appearing on them.
"It's not good to have no scandals or no popularity, anyway, my agent doesn't restrict me at all. And if people who watch the show can still ship us as a couple, that's a cult, and I don't care at all."
"...Alright, anyway, it's really comfortable staying at your place."
"What are your plans after this? You've been getting a lot of attention online lately. Is there a company behind this?"
"Maybe they're from the Volunteer Army? As for me, I'll wait until a year later. Anyway, I still want to go back to Ancient Blue Star first."
"The Volunteer Army? Didn't you dislike the Volunteer Army before? Now you want to join them?" Qiao Shiyi asked repeatedly.
"It's alright for now, but they have their own plans, and I won't join them." As for her own future arrangements, it's best to keep them secret for now, given her current situation.
"With your immense popularity, have you ever considered switching careers to become a variety show personality?"
"No, it's quite difficult to play myself, and talking to a little dragonfly in the middle of nowhere is something I'm not used to," Zhou Jiu said, with a hint of deliberate promotion of the profound and mysterious aspects of metaphysics. She had really tried her best to make the audience more fascinated and curious about the metaphysics of Ancient Blue Star. In fact, what she really wanted to promote was the cultural heritage of Ancient Blue Star, but apart from the people who actually came from Ancient Blue Star, who else would care about these things?
"Alright, you have clear life goals. Although I didn't really agree with your insistence on returning to Ancient Blue Star before, now that I've regained my memories, I also want to go back and take a look. Just remember, don't forget me when you go back."
“Of course, I will inform each of you.” Zhou Jiu’s eyes held a hint of a smile. She had reserved a seat for everyone on that combat starship.
"You asked me to make an appointment with Saiwei, and he's already here." Qiao Shiyi had just received the message and said to Zhou Jiu after glancing at the personal terminal.
"Um."
"I heard that the Volunteer Army has been making some big moves recently, and it's related to you. If you don't want to join, do you need to make it clear beforehand?" After several minutes, Qiao Shiyi looked at the group chat messages on her personal terminal and finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Jiu.
"Let them do whatever they want. Whoever causes trouble in my name, they can step in if they have the ability, and they'll naturally leave when they don't. Besides, they're only doing this because of my dad right now. If I really go to jail later, those old foxes will be in for a rough time."
"What about Sun You?"
Zhou Jiu smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Friends are for betraying, remember that saying?"
"...You're amazing. Aren't you really afraid of things falling apart?" Qiao Shiyi rolled her eyes.
"I've been tricked many times too, you know. Although I think Sun You's idea is really a bit far-fetched, an organization that is gradually maturing is not so easy to change, but she has confidence and a plan, so let's wait for her good news. Besides, I sincerely hope she succeeds."
"Anyway, I don't understand your friendship. Lin Xiu also thinks you two are weird. Anyway, recently his and Sun You's classes have gradually separated. They are both quite busy and don't have much time to date."
"Sigh, it's such a waste not to go on a date during such a wonderful time," Zhou Jiu sighed.
"You're just bored. I've noticed you've slowed down lately, and you're not as focused on studying anymore. I'm starting to feel a little uneasy about it."
"Now I feel that life is better. Before, my memories were incomplete, and it felt like I was under hypnosis. I had a strong desire to return to the ancient planet Blue."
"Don't you want to go back to ancient Blue Star now?"
Zhou Jiu frowned and shook his head: "No, it's not that. I still want to go back, but it's different. Anyway, could you help me find a mental health expert to ask if it's possible that after being subjected to the memory lock mental suggestion, I was also subjected to other mental suggestions, such as being forced to do something?"
"...Are you doubting Liu Ci?"
"I just feel like I went a bit too far before, and my mentality wasn't like that of a normal teenager at all." During this period, Zhou Jiu spent some time studying stars and facial features, and reviewing his experiences from the first ten years of his life. He gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Okay, I'll ask around discreetly. By the way, how are things going with you and your boyfriend?"
“…It should be alright. I think it’s pretty good.” Zhou Jiu repeated.
"Anyway, since you suspect his mother, don't give anything away yet. Let me find out the truth first before you do anything else!"
“…What?” Zhou Jiu rolled his eyes. “Do you think I’m that stupid? I’m currently serving my sentence and can’t go out without reporting it to anyone. I can’t just run around like that. Besides, he’s in the military and is probably on a mission right now, so we don’t have a chance to contact each other at all.”
When the two arrived at their lodgings, Qiao Shiyi greeted the owner, Saiwei, and then left her seat for Saiwei and Zhou Jiu before returning directly to her room, not wanting to disturb their conversation.
