Chapter 48 Chapter 48 But they are all deeply in love with you! ...
Because his mental power has been exhausted, even though he knows that it is best to use his mental power in the current situation, he cannot use his mental power.
The images that filled Su Yuan's eyes were like a color silent film.
The guild members in front of him were no longer tense and serious as before. They showed relaxation and relief in their eyes. They looked at Lu Zhu with eyes that were no longer solemn and serious. Some people even patted Lu Zhu on the shoulder in a friendly manner. Because Lu Zhu helped them, because the problem that had kept them busy for days finally had a solution.
Su Yuan had no doubt that with Lu Zhu's continuous help, the guild's attitude towards Lu Zhu would improve, and the incident that Lu Zhu was currently criticized for would only become a thing of the past.
The atmosphere around was as light and cheerful as in most silent films, but Su Yuan, who could not hear anything, also felt the absurdity unique to silent films.
Now, in front of them is the one they are eager to catch.
That person now took control of Lu Zhu's body again, and under the guild's arrangement, helped the guild capture 'himself'.
Su Yuan's fingertips trembled.
This is the reason why that person, even though his mental strength was exhausted, was still able to disappear without a trace while being hunted by the guild.
The man who came to see Lu Zhu with the puppet was not trying to take Lu Zhu away, but was preparing to take the opportunity to escape back to his own body.
Su Yuan pursed his lips and looked at the strange scene nearby, his heart beating wildly.
He seemed to be back in the academy. When he suddenly found out that Pei Yuanfei had been replaced by someone else, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
His brain was both dull and clear.
Su Yuan stared blankly at the young man who seemed very ignorant not far away.
What about the main personality?
Was the main personality kicked out of the body by that person?
Su Yuan quickly shook his head in his heart, probably not yet.
The main personality lacks common sense and is too kindhearted, making it difficult for him to cooperate with the other person to complete complex plans. If the main personality is left alone to make a living outside, not only will he not be able to survive, but he will also be easily exposed to problems.
The person who brought the puppet into the card world was just to save the main personality.
The other party will not deliberately harm the main personality.
Su Yuan stroked the hem of his clothes with his fingertips, trying hard to make his body look less stiff.
When he first went to the psychological counseling room, he used his ability to trigger the puppet bond.
Under the basic restrictions of puppet bonds, puppets can only reveal their true thoughts and cannot hide or disguise themselves.
The Lu Zhu he just met in front of the psychologist should be controlled by the main personality.
At that time, he might still be resting and sleeping because of exhaustion of mental energy.
Su Yuan made a judgment with disordered breathing.
The other party should have returned to the original state, with two personalities in the body at the same time.
It was not until then that Su Yuan realized belatedly that, indeed, if that person really wanted to replicate the previous situation and let himself be trapped in the card world like the previous main personality, he would most likely have to perfectly replicate his physical condition at that time - he and the main personality would still be in the same original body.
"What's wrong?" Chu An asked Su Yuan with a little concern. He was the first to notice that Su Yuan had just taken his hand away.
It wouldn't have been a big problem whether Su Yuan wanted to contact him or not, but when Chu An turned sideways, he saw Su Yuan's face, which was so white that it seemed transparent.
When Su Yuan looked at Chu An slowly, the hand that he had just released was carefully held back by the other party.
The surrounding sounds then resumed.
Su Yuan was so frightened by the sound that caught his ears off guard that his heart skipped a beat.
But what made Su Yuan's scalp tense for a moment was the gaze that immediately turned to him from the corner of his eyes because of this sentence.
Chu An's voice was very soft, and in Su Yuan's foggy hearing, it was completely covered by the sound of the conversation next to them.
But even though Su Yuan and the others were several meters away from Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu, who was the farthest away, was the first to be caught.
One doesn't have to think too much to see that Lu Zhu has been very concerned about Su Yuan's movements from beginning to end.
"...a little sleepy." Su Yuan responded in a low voice, and before Lu Zhu's gaze fell on him, he yawned in a way that matched the content of his words.
He used his hand to cover the pale part of his face and his obviously panicked eyes.
After adjusting himself, Su Yuan took his hand away and looked up again.
He immediately met Lu Zhu's worried and concerned eyes.
When Lu Zhu completely ignored everything around him and just stared at Su Yuan with concern, he really looked like a big dog who was worried about his owner. Su Yuan could vaguely see his tail wagging because of his anxiety and worry.
The young man's eyes were still as clear as before, with no difference from his main personality, and people around him could not see anything unusual about him.
When Su Yuan was staring at the man with slight sweat on his back, he felt as if his head was hit by a ghost and wanted to find the other party's clues and loopholes.
But not at all.
The other party did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment about the fact that he had become someone else's card again.
Although it was unexpected that they met again, the man did not show any sign of abnormality, nor did he seem to be prepared to do anything unnecessary to him.
Su Yuanhan's hair stood on end as he thought of what the other person had said to him.
——If I had known you would be so scared after you found out, I would not have revealed my identity and let Pei Yuanfei rescue you successfully. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know that I am by your side.
Su Yuan's heart was pounding, and he could even recall the other party's expression, which showed that he was not trying to intimidate him, but was truly thinking so from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you want to go back to your sea of consciousness first?" Chu An's gentle words brought some warmth to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan forced himself to ignore Lu Zhu's gaze for the time being.
He nodded to Chu An at first, but soon he thought of something and shook his head.
Chu An's long, smooth eyebrows immediately wrinkled slightly.
He knew that the other party cared about him, but Su Yuan couldn't ignore her own health just to accompany him to work.
Just as Chu An was about to say something with a look of pity and sweetness in his eyes, Su Yuan's next words hit him so hard that his brain buzzed.
The person with the pretty face tilted up slightly said to him, "I want to see your room."
The man who was originally preparing to seriously persuade Su Yuan was so overjoyed that he lost the ability to speak.
Chu An's ears, which were hidden by his hair, quickly became stained with color.
Also, given their current close relationship, the other party would definitely want to know more about him.
Chu An's body remained stiff as his heart pounded like a drum, but he was still trying to persuade the other party to return to his consciousness and rest.
If you want to know other things about him, he can write a document listing them and show them to the other party tomorrow.
Of course, he only wrote a first draft.
Later on, he will definitely have to hand it over to some matchmaking agency and let professionals help him polish it.
Chu An was organizing his words when he saw his beautiful card hesitate for a moment, then look at him nervously and expectantly, "I want to rest on the bed in your room. I don't want to return to my sea of consciousness."
He seemed a little embarrassed, and the skin that was vaguely exposed was stained red with embarrassment, and the hand he was holding was also a little tense.
But the degree of stiffness that Chu An experienced in an instant was several times more serious than this.
As Chu An's chest rose and fell in a strange manner, as if the heart deep inside was about to jump out, Chu An stiffened his body and changed his standing posture.
Su Yuan, who was thinking about something, didn't notice this. When he saw Chu An was quiet for a moment, he thought that Chu An was unhappy.
"You won't refuse, will you?" Su Yuan asked pitifully again. In order to facilitate this, his head buzzed with thoughts of what Chu An had said to him before. He pursed his lips and said, "But you just said you wouldn't let me down."
Chu An, whose heartbeat was still abnormal, finally came back to his senses, "Of course not, I will never let you down!"
When Su Yuan heard this, he did not feel relieved that his goal had been achieved. Instead, his body became even stiffer.
Su Yuan felt a little dizzy as he looked around until it suddenly became completely quiet. Then everyone looked over at once.
They looked at Chu An and Su Yuan in amazement.
It’s not their fault at all. It’s just that Chu An’s response just now was so flustered and loud!
Now there is a faint echo in the corridor.
Su Yuan quickly used his ability to become virtual, ready to embarrass Chu An alone.
But something happened that made him feel dizzy.
Chu An, who looked extremely steady and old-fashioned, did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled at everyone present in a show-off manner, making everyone else's expressions even weirder.
Su Yuan: "." Chu An, what is he crazy about?
I don’t know if it was Chu An’s confusing behavior that made everyone realize that they had to rest, or if things were supposed to end here, Lu Zhu was sent back and everyone was able to disperse.
Due to a series of serious incidents that have occurred recently, the headquarters building is often on alert.
Under these special circumstances, the guild members did not return to their own residences, but went to staff dormitories where they could be called upon at any time.
The same is true for Chu An.
When Chu An was making the new bed for Su Yuan, his fingers were particularly tense.
His mind was still a little dazed.
Is this how we start living together?
Chu An, who felt very dreamy, was in a state of confusion.
After Chu An made the bed, his expression was heavy and anxious.
What if Su Yuan says she wants to sleep in the same bed with him?
How should he refuse the other party?
Chu An's expression became more and more solemn.
This was a serious matter because he seemed to have no way of saying no.
Otherwise, otherwise——
Chu An's ears turned red as he thought about it.
He will just agree to it later. As long as he doesn't cross the line, it won't be a big deal.
Chu An, with his ears flushed, kept waiting for Su Yuan's words, but when he had thought of all the excuses, the dormitory door was gently closed, and he finally stood alone beside the sofa, looking at it in the dark and thinking.
Chu An, as if cold water had been poured over his head, was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips after thinking for a while.
Is Su Yuan still embarrassed?
Chu An was sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow and thinking deeply.
But then again, how could he just sit back and enjoy Su Yuan's approach towards him?
He has to take the initiative to do something.
Chu An turned on the computer and started searching.
He had to give Su Yuan a surprise.
*
Su Yuan didn't know that Chu An hadn't slept all night on the sofa.
After dawn, Su Yuan refused to go out to the guild with Chu An on the grounds that he still wanted to sleep.
Hearing the door being closed gently, Su Yuan waited for a while, then put on a mask and went out.
Following her memory, Su Yuan secretly walked towards Clay's office.
The reason why he didn't want to return to his consciousness last night was that he wanted to meet Clay secretly today.
In the conversation I heard yesterday, Clay was always in charge of Lu Zhu.
Before the live broadcast last night, Clay specially added more people to watch over Lu Zhu, and when the person met Lu Zhu in the middle of the chaos, Clay also arrived at the scene in time.
Su Yuan wanted to find out the details of last night's chaos from Clay, especially what happened when the person met the main personality.
Because he had to meet Clay alone, Su Yuan couldn't figure out how to explain it to Chu An, so Su Yuan decided to meet Clay secretly without Chu An's knowledge.
Su Yuan stood in front of Clay's office door, still wondering whether he should tell Clay directly about Lu Zhu's problem.
The blurry glass window reflected Clay's meticulous working appearance. Su Yuan knocked on the door nervously.
Hope today's trip goes well.
The man who was like a working machine heard the noise and looked up at Su Yuan outside.
Clay's face still maintained the attitude he had when he was working. When his cold jawline was slightly raised, the cold light reflected from his glasses made him look extremely unapproachable.
Su Yuan instinctively took a half step back because of the oppressive feeling he was emitting.
When Clay saw that it was Su Yuan, he half raised his eyebrows, and this action dispelled some of the coldness from his body.
While Su Yuan was slightly dazed, Clay stood up from his seat, walked over to Su Yuan and opened the door.
Su Yuan followed him in closely.
When Clay had sat down again, Su Yuan was still standing there somewhat awkwardly.
After seeing this, Clay made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, please take a seat."
Su Yuan, who was originally feeling somewhat uncomfortable, felt dizzy after being addressed unexpectedly by Clay.
All the subtle emotions were replaced by inexplicable shame and embarrassment. Su Yuan sat stupidly opposite Clay, her hands stiffly placed on her knees were faintly stained with powder.
Su Yuan said incoherently, "Why do you call me like that?"
Especially, it sounds so natural!
After Claywen finished speaking, he asked in surprise, "Aren't you a princess?"
Su Yuan's face was red and pink behind the mask, and he was steaming. "Of course not!"
"But it's spread everywhere." Clay paused at Su Yuan's faintly exposed bright skin.
What spread?
Su Yuan was very confused after hearing this.
As if he saw Su Yuan's doubt and confusion, Clay, who was sitting opposite Su Yuan across the desk, directly turned on the computer to show Su Yuan.
Su Yuan subconsciously looked at the light screen and found that there was a group chat on the screen.
And judging from the name of the group, it seems to be the office group of the guild headquarters.
When Su Yuan became even more confused, he lowered his eyes and saw the chat content, which made him seriously suspect that this group was fake.
What happened in the psychology department yesterday actually sparked a heated discussion in this group chat.
: Is this true? Minister Chu An’s new card is as beautiful as a princess!
: Really, really!!! It’s a pity that the cards cannot be recorded. Those of you who didn’t see me yesterday are really unlucky.
: Please describe it to everyone.
How to describe her? It's hard to describe her at all. She looks like a princess anyway. She has a small face, a small pointed chin, a cherry-red mouth, a beaded lip, a very delicate nose, big, black, and bright eyes, and curled eyelashes that flutter like a butterfly's wings. She not only speaks softly, but is also easily shy. She turns pink after just a few words, like a soft and fragrant cake.
Su Yuan curled up her toes as she watched.
: What kind of description do you have? There is no visual sense at all.
: It's just that it's hard to describe how beautiful she is. If you really want to feel it, just get closer to Minister Chu An. If you smell something sweet, don't doubt it, it's not a beautiful illusion, it's the sweet fragrance of the princess.
：！ ！ ！ ！ ！ Got it!
When Su Yuan saw this, he was really a little dumbfounded.
This, this is saying something.
His eyelashes fluttered as he quickly pushed away what Clay had extended to him. Su Yuan, unwilling to look at it any longer, endured the heat that kept coming out of his body and said business, "I have something to talk to you about."
Su Yuan was still a little dazed when he talked about this.
Is this really the elite in the guild?
What kind of nonsense are these?
No wonder they were fooled by that guy!
After Clay turned off his light head, his eyebrows raised even more, "So you have something to ask me."
There was something strange in his words, as if he was expressing some dissatisfaction.
Su Yuan nodded, and quickly forced himself to break free from the shame, thinking about how to tell Clay about Lu Zhu.
While Su Yuan was thinking, Clay seemed to have thought of something.
Before Su Yuan opened his mouth, he saw the corners of Clay's mouth twitching slightly.
Su Yuan couldn't hear his tone, but just by looking at the content of Clay's words, she could sense the sarcasm in his tone.
"Do you want me to help you hide from Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei?"
Su Yuan was a little stunned.
What, what.
How is it related to Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei?
Is it that Clay only has Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei in his mind?
Su Yuan looked at Clay in a daze, and slowly learned the reason from Clay.
It turns out that Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei will come to the guild headquarters today.
Amid the increasingly intense public opinion about human-card romance, the guilds that have received a large number of reports of human-card romance must also express their stance.
Out of some humanitarian considerations, the guild will contact the parties involved in public opinion before making a statement.
According to the previously agreed rules, Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei will come to the guild headquarters today to refute and argue for the report of human-card romance.
And now it was almost the agreed time for them to arrive.
When Su Yuan just learned about this, he subconsciously looked outside through the window.
Through the window of Clay's office, he could just vaguely see the door of the headquarters building, but it was quite far away and Su Yuan couldn't see the specific figure clearly.
Although Su Yuan quickly withdrew his gaze in fear, his behavior seemed to have annoyed Clay.
The young man in front of Su Yuan lowered his lips and continued, "Or do you still have feelings for them and want me to help you meet them?"
That's very strange of him to say.
Even though Su Yuan couldn't hear anything in the enclosed space, the echoes filled with jealousy and envy could still be heard.
But Su Yuan still felt the pressure from the other party.
Su Yuan wrinkled his nose slightly.
He and Clay are not very familiar with each other, so why does this scene seem like some kind of interrogation with the intention of catching someone cheating?
Su Yuan complained in his heart, but shook his head tactfully, "No, how is that possible?"
Su Yuan frowned under the mask and said, "I'm not very familiar with them." Of course, I'm even less familiar with you!
"Really?" Clay's expression was full of disbelief, as if he hadn't finished yet, "But they are all deeply in love with you!"
That's their business.
Ask him what he does.
Su Yuan curled up his hands on his knees and scratched his knees randomly.
He also has a headache.
Su Yuan didn't know how to respond, and Clay's voice rang out again.
"How did you train them like this? Yan Zhou, Pei Yuanfei who has always been disdainful of card creatures, and -" Clay glanced at the place where the optical computer was just now, "these people who just met you once."
Su Yuan's head was buzzing.
Seeing that Su Yuan didn't answer, Clay continued to complain, "Did you treat them the same way you treated me before?"
Su Yuan was confused by the question. He put his legs together awkwardly, not understanding why he had to go through this.
"Why aren't you talking?" But Clay insisted on getting an answer.
Why? Of course he didn’t know how to answer.
The curve of Clay's lips changed obviously. "Feeling guilty?"
"...No." Su Yuan, whose mind was a little blank, was forced to answer, "It's different."
After Clay paused, the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards.
He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice, "Like what?"
for example……
for example……
Su Yuan, who couldn't come up with an example, thought for a while and replied in a daze, "For example, I have never slapped them."
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became dead silent.
Su Yuan keenly noticed that Clay's face had stiffened.
Su Yuan realized what he had said and suddenly felt flustered.
"Humph." After a while, Clay said in an indescribable and subtle tone, "Should I be honored by this?"
Su Yuan curled his fingertips.
That depends on Klay himself. Honor or not is a very subjective thing.
If Clay feels honored, then he deserves to be honored.
Su Yuan didn't dare to say that, he tried to make amends by saying, "Besides, you also know my secret, which they don't know."
This secret, naturally, refers to the fact that Su Yuan can become the card of different people in succession.
Clay raised his eyebrows and said in a gloomy tone, "Am I the only one who knows?"
Su Yuan retracted his foot.
Although that person also knew about this, it is true that he could not find the special place.
Clay curled his lips again and said, "You just know how to coax people."
Su Yuan immediately felt a little scared. Just as he was carefully observing Clay's expression, he was slightly stunned when he heard Clay's self-explanatory question.
"You didn't coax other people the same way you coaxed me, did you?"
After Su Yuan reacted for a moment, he quickly shook his head, "No."
This answer seemed to finally please Clay and successfully calmed his jealousy. Su Yuan finally didn't have to be questioned anymore.
Clay then brought the topic back to the beginning, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Su Yuan was busy talking about the main business, but when Su Yuan was about to talk about that person and Lu Zhu, Su Yuan paused for a moment.
Something seems to be wrong.
Su Yuan thought about Clay's reaction just now, and his heart beat abnormally several times.
He suddenly realized a problem several beats late.
Why did Clay know that he was not the only one who knew his secret.
Su Yuan suddenly felt waves of coolness rising up from the stool.
Currently, only that person and Clay know about it.
How did Clay know that the person who also knew it?
Su Yuan swallowed uncontrollably.
He wanted to comfort himself by saying that he might have misunderstood Clay's subconscious reaction. Clay's "Am I the only one who knows" might not have any subtext, but was simply asking for confirmation.
But Su Yuan suddenly remembered that when he was fooling around with Clay about playing cards, Clay just let him fool around without asking any questions.
Given Clay's personality, wouldn't he really want to figure this out?
Su Yuan's hands, which could originally be placed on his knees, were now clasped at both sides in a slightly awkward manner.
He was still looking at Clay, but his face, hidden by the mask, had turned pale.
Or maybe the reason why Clay didn't ask as much as he did just now was because he had already learned the details of his cards from somewhere else.
The only person who could possibly tell Clay about this was——
That one.
The scene that happened before flashed through Su Yuan's mind particularly randomly. Su Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and the picture in his memory froze at the time when he just became Chu An's card.
When he was first summoned, the guild was in extreme chaos and the ground was shaking so much that he almost fell.
But--
Su Yuan's heart was in a state of anxiety.
The moment Clay saw him and he slapped him in panic, the chaos caused by that person in the guild suddenly disappeared.
Su Yuan didn't realize it until now.
The sudden disappearance of chaos may not mean the end of the mission.
It could also be that -
The mission was aborted due to something that was suddenly discovered.
Su Yuan looked at Clay in front of him, and suddenly he figured something out.
Su Yuan realized last night that the news about controlling puppets with mental power was just fake news, but he didn't have time to think about why such fake news was spread.
At that time, Su Yuan was completely shocked by the fact that that person had re-entered Lu Zhu's body.
But now, Su Yuan's eyes fell on Clay, and he understood the reason without thinking too much.
It was because of this mental power that Clay mentioned the [Listening Ears] naturally.
The person who made up this false news was to facilitate Clay's plan against the "Listening Ear".
When Su Yuan drooped his eyelashes, his scalp felt a little numb.
That one worked with Clay.
The fact that both that person and Clay could see him after he turned into an invisible being might not be a coincidence, but rather something they shared in their collaboration.
Su Yuan recalled the conversation among the guild members that he had heard before.
They didn't understand how that person could steal the Lost Heart Wood without anyone noticing, nor did they understand how that person could mess up the live broadcast without any hindrance. They were surprised at that person's excessive familiarity with everything about the guild.
But if Clay and that person have already cooperated, then everything can be explained.
Su Yuan originally came to find Clay because Clay was responsible for the Lu Zhu incident, but now, he suddenly understood why such a result occurred.
Klay had been cooperating with that person last night. Klay knew that person would create chaos during the live broadcast, but he still arranged a lot of people to go there in advance and arrive in time at the critical moment.
Clay was not dealing with that person, he was helping that person to unknowingly re-enter his original body and make it reasonable for Lu Zhu to stay.
All other guild members simply thought that the reason why Lu Zhu was not kidnapped by that person and was able to stay was because they had enough people under their care and they were lucky enough to do this by relying on their own strength.
They had no idea that Lu Zhu was left behind intentionally, and there was even an extra core inside.
Su Yuan's cheeks looked paler because of the mask, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
He could probably guess what the original content of the collaboration with Clay was.
Clay has to find a way to help that person re-enter the card world, and that person has to help Clay get the [Listening Ear].
Su Yuan pursed his lips tightly and had difficulty breathing.
So what now?
He has appeared under that person's nose, and that person no longer needs to enter the card world.
But Clay still needs that person's help to get the [Listening Ear] back for the mysterious organization.
In this situation where the original help has disappeared, what kind of reward will Clay be prepared to give to that person in order to achieve his goal.
"Why don't you speak?"
Su Yuan's thoughts were awakened by Clay's question.
When he looked at the other person with trembling eyelids, the other person continued helplessly and dotingly, "Don't worry, if I can do it, I won't ask you for reward."
