Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 624 - 274 Monster [Vote Request]

After Bai Yushuang's visit, the two sat facing each other and discussed the key points for today and tomorrow.

"How are we going to do this?"

"Anything works; we have enough time."

"I was thinking…"

"Oh, that's constructive. Let's compare scripts then."

Such matters were truly inconvenient to discuss openly. So, the two of them spoke as if exchanging coded messages, telling a series of strange and bewildering stories, their words veiled in mist and secrecy.

People are always engrossed when they first listen to a story, but the final outcome depends on the storyteller.

Bai Yushuang's style was convoluted. Her stories were always hard to understand, like the most thrilling suspense dramas, full of twists and turns. Anyone not smart or resolute enough would feel their scalp tingle and give up in the first half.

Han Lie's style, however, involved many established patterns, a solid core, and lengthy foreshadowing. His stories always managed to strike the listener's sensitive and fragile heart when they least expected it.

This was a showdown between masters.

Han Lie struggled to understand, and it drained him, but he still persisted to the end.

Bai Yushuang, however, was so moved by the core of Han Lie's story that she couldn't stop her tears. She sobbed uncontrollably and even let out indignant cries for the characters' fates in the story.

Obviously, it was a tragedy.

Given Han Lie's comprehensive abilities and knowledge structure, he was rarely stumped when lecturing alone. It was only a matter of how composed he appeared.

Bai Yushuang lay on the windowsill for a long time, then spaced out in the bathtub for a while. Finally, she processed the last of her emotions and truly emerged.

"So, what exactly are we going to do tomorrow?"

Bai Yushuang's voice was light and airy, as if floating, exceptionally ethereal and enchanting.

It's a pity this young lady isn't studying vocal music...

Han Lie replied casually, "We don't know each other, so we'll act as distantly as possible. Then, you can naturally show interest in me, but your sister can't; she needs to keep her distance from me. Overall, both of you should be more reserved than eager. If there's a second encounter, make sure to refuse firmly. Leave the rest to me."

"Oh..."

Bai Yushuang nodded obediently. Then her expression suddenly turned cold. She slightly tilted her chin up and looked down at Han Lie.

"Keep your distance... like this? You stinking man, you dog!"

"Very good! That's a true Queen's style."

Han Lie clapped enthusiastically, then beckoned with his fingers. "But that's not the right approach for this role. Come here; I'll teach you a new acting technique…"

"But I don't wanna learn anymore~~~ I'm so tired!"

Bai Yushuang bit her lower lip, moving forward with small, slow steps in a faux-crying manner, truly embodying a coy, reluctant beauty.

While stalling, she asked worriedly, "Lie Lie, about that car and the jewelry, will there really be no problems if we accept them? I always feel that Green-Haired Gao doesn't have good intentions…"

"With the Gao Family's calculating nature, their sudden generosity obviously comes with strings attached."

Han Lie smiled offhandedly, his expression a mix of two parts nonchalance and eight parts disdain.

"But don't worry. Whether the core plan succeeds or not, as long as I'm here, no one can take back what has come into your hands!"

Bai Yushuang believed him. She not only believed him completely but also felt truly reassured.

A serious Han Lie truly possessed an aura of trustworthiness.

Domineering might seem ethereal, as if it only exists in stories. In reality, however, it's simply the outward expression of a spiritual core filled with a sense of strength, manifested in the right environment. It's not at all mystical; on the contrary, it can genuinely and tangibly bring comfort to people.

However, Bai Yushuang had been moved for barely a second when the defiant glint in the young man's eyes vanished, and he began beckoning lecherously again.

"Come on, Shuangshuang, come closer, and I'll teach you how to apply the frost…"

"PFFT!"

Bai Yushuang couldn't hold back her laughter. She fell onto the bed and then covered her flushed face with her hands.

The night deepened, and a new story began to unfold.

...

「The next morning, Sunday.」

The assistant arranged breakfast in the presidential suite's dining room. When she knocked on the bedroom door, Han Lie had already recovered quite well.

He got up, showered, and came out feeling refreshed.

Bai Yushuang, on the other hand, was different. She had heavy bags under her eyes and was staggering, seeming unfocused as she walked. She obviously hadn't had enough sleep.

And interestingly, she acted completely natural and resigned with Han Lie. But the moment she saw the assistant, she exclaimed in surprise and darted back into the bedroom.

"What's with her?" Han Lie was baffled.

Even though he was now an expert in psychology, sometimes he still couldn't figure out a woman's thought processes.

Conversely, Liang Wu understood very well.

"She's off to do her makeup."

She replied nonchalantly, "Miss Bai can't accept appearing before another woman looking disheveled, even though I'm just your assistant."

"OH!"

Teacher Han felt he had learned some strange new things, his psychology experience leveling up.

He discussed with the assistant curiously, "Why is she okay with me seeing her like that, but not with you?"

"Because there's a difference between who's close and who's not, because I am also beautiful, because she is the master and I am the servant, and because you have seen her at her worst… So, when facing you versus me, Miss Bai's sense of shame operates on different levels."

Liang Wu gave a very comprehensive answer, a perfect score.

Finally, with a peculiar expression, she concluded, "A smart woman will always maintain a sense of mystery with a man. For example, have you ever seen me without makeup?"
