When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 479: Chapter 1166: The 80s Drama Queen is Forced to Play the Academic Ace (Part 1)

”I look forward to seeing you again.”

”Don’t forget to think of me in the next plane, okay...?”

With that, he stuck one hand in his pocket, gave her a smiling wave, and took a few steps back before making a cool exit.

Heh. ’He was well aware of the lethality of his good looks. A vessel forged by the passage of endless time, more dazzling than a cosmic aurora. It was like a built-in skill, capable of bewitching anyone who looked his way.’

’Unless he was truly in love, others would only see him as the most perfect version of their own fantasies.’

Back at his residence, he was in such a good mood that he even hummed a tune.

The steward was on edge. ’I’ve served him for so long, but I’ve never seen the master so openly joyful. Is that what this is?’

’The master is happy, right?’

He didn’t dare say it, and he certainly didn’t dare ask.

’He was just filled with curiosity about this task-taker, Gu Yun. How on earth had she managed to tame the master, and even push him down once, twice, three times!’

’As they say, once leads to twice, and twice to three times. And from three to infinity isn’t much of a leap, is it?’

Mr. Mu sat on the sofa, rubbing his chin. ”Change a setting for me.”

’Again?’ The steward bowed with a smile. ”How would you like to change it, Master?”

’How can I satisfy my own selfish desires?’

Mr. Mu’s lips curved into a smirk. ”Restore Gu Yun’s memories, and just let her proceed with a normal mission. I trust that with my honey trap in play, she’ll be able to keep herself in check during the mission.”

The steward bowed so low his face nearly touched his knees, his eyes wide. ’What in the world was going on?’

’The master is too... too cunning! To actually use a honey trap on Miss Gu Yun!’

’Master, is it really okay for you to so eagerly seek her out, just to resort to such a shameless honey trap? It’s complete overkill!’

’This is completely ruining your persona as the eternal War God...’

”Master, must we change it? This concerns the mission’s core content. Once it’s altered, it can’t be changed back.”

The steward asked, confirming the details.

Mr. Mu hummed in affirmation, his tone full of confidence. ”Change it. As long as she remembers that a god-like man like me is thinking of her, she definitely won’t be promiscuous during the mission. After all, I’ll be watching from behind the screen.”

The steward replied helplessly, ”Very well.”

’The master is far too conceited. Matters of the heart have nothing to do with status, position, or looks.’

’From what he knew of Miss Gu Yun, she was someone who did as she pleased. Whenever she made a move... just look at the last three planes. How many times had the master even managed to put up a struggle?’

”Master, is there anything else you’d like to change?”

Mr. Mu furrowed his brow in serious thought. ”The distance. Say we’re placed at opposite ends of the world... with so many people, can we still end up together?”

The steward nodded. Those destined to meet will cross a thousand miles to do so. As long as they were key characters in the plot, they would inevitably cross paths.

Feeling that everything was foolproof, Mr. Mu couldn’t wait to get into the nutrient pod.

As the door was closing, he declared to the steward with absolute certainty, ”Gu Yun is a woman of strong principles. She won’t make the same mistake twice. If she hadn’t lost her memories as a task-taker, she would never resign herself to a mundane life, marrying and having children with someone from that plane.”

”So, this time, I’ll definitely be able to focus solely on my career and absolutely will not develop a romantic storyline!”

The steward nodded with a smile, and as he closed the door, he muttered to himself, ’Master, just don’t come back crying after you’ve lost your virtue again...’

Meanwhile, Gu Yun returned to her residence and immediately scoured the forums, looking to see if anyone had managed to snap a photo of the gorgeous man.

In the end, after searching for ages, she found nothing about a mysterious guest attending the Purple Cloud Space-Time Administration Bureau’s year-end banquet. The only explanation was that his identity was so special that all information about him had been blocked.

When she tried to recall the man’s face, it seemed to have become a hazy blur.

Shaking her head, Gu Yun didn’t dwell on the romantic encounter. She cheerfully moved to the center of the interstellar city with Mingxing.

They went from a tiny room to a spacious and beautiful apartment with an open view. Life was sweet. ’A hardworking girl really does get all the luck!’

For the first time, she took her time, contentedly inspecting her new nest before lying down in the nutrient pod and entering the next plane.

「When she opened her eyes again」

Gu Yun had become Sheng Leyun—a pitiful young girl whose mother, right after her father’s death, had whisked her off to the Capital City to remarry.

Her stepfather, Xiao Xuezhen, was someone her father had protected with his own life during a mission. He later left the service and became the chief editor of a newspaper. During that time, he frequently sent her mother his regards, along with a constant stream of letters and packages.

One was a widower whose wife had died in childbirth; the other was a widow who, with a child in tow, had suffered endlessly while living with her own family. The two quickly hit it off, and not even the greatest of distances could stand in the way of their fierce affection.
