'The next step in the speedrun template is to figure out how to trigger the mission...'
'This is something that can be hard, or easy...'
Thinking this, Ye Li teasingly gave a soft bite to the beauty who was lost in passion with her eyes closed.
"Sharon... open your eyes for a second..."
"Mm...?"
Sharon opened her hazy eyes and saw a pair of devilish ram-patterned pupils...
She was just an ordinary person—unlike Wanda, she had no resistance—and was instantly pulled into the vortex of the dream...
If you asked what Sharon Carter desired most, naturally, it was a legendary career like her aunt—Margaret "Peggy" Carter.
In the dream.
She had become a legendary agent like her aunt.
Just like the stories of Agent Carter, which featured a man named Rogers...
In Sharon Carter's dream...
There was also a man with a blurry face who was always by her side———
'...Your name is Ye Li, from the Dragon Nation? Fancy a drink~'
'You're an agent too? Which department do you work for?... Spear Bureau? What's that?'
'Li, I think we can work together this time...'
'Yay! Mission accomplished! Li, give me a celebration kiss! Don't be shy~'
'This mission is dangerous... Li, after I finish it, will you dance with me~'
Night deepened.
Ye Li watched the blonde beauty lying in bed. Her brows furrowed and lifted with expressions of shyness, joy, and sadness—he could only guess what she was dreaming about.
He could set up the dream's structure and general flow, but the details were all up to her subconscious...
'I'm sorry... Li... I'm afraid I'll have to break our promise...'
Moonlight streamed through the curtain onto Sharon Carter's pale, rounded face, as a sparkling tear slid from the corner of her eye...
Ye Li, sitting by her side, let out a crocodile tear—uh, no—a sigh of a scumbag.
"Sigh... This power is top-tier for manipulating feelings. A must-have skill for a playboy..."
"Mmm~"
Sharon let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes, "Where... am I?"
That dream had felt way too real...
In that short dream, she felt like she had lived half a lifetime...
"Maybe you were just too tired from work..."
Ye Li casually fibbed, "You just passed out for a bit."
"You..."
Sharon noticed Ye Li sitting beside the bed, and her expression froze—she stared at him in a daze for quite a while...
"What is it~?"
Ye Li asked softly.
Though he already knew the answer.
"I... It's nothing..."
Sharon snapped out of it and turned her gaze to the night outside, trying to hide her feelings.
"It's so late... You haven't left yet... Don't tell me you're actually planning to stay the night..."
Ye Li gave a fake smile, "I was just worried about you~"
"..."
The beauty was silent for a moment, then softly turned her head, her eyes shimmering as she looked at him.
"Do you want a drink, Li..."
Tata~
Seeing Sharon walk toward the door, Alita, who had been peeking through a crack, quickly hid herself...
Then she saw the blonde sister return to the room, carrying a big bottle...
Tata~
The mechanical girl ran back to the door and peeked through the crack again...
Rustle rustle rustle~
Clear liquor poured generously into two glasses...
Sharon kept one glass for herself and handed the other to Ye Li with a charming smile.
"Come on~ Cheers!"
"Cheers..."
Ye Li sipped slowly while glancing at the bottle on the nightstand...
'Whoa~ this one's pretty strong...'
'Probably from Sharon's Carter-dad's private stash...'
'Huh? ...Am I drinking a family heirloom right now?'
"Really now... Why are you sipping so stingily..."
Gulp... Gulp...
Sharon took big gulps of the sake, sticking out her pink tongue from the burn~
"If you're going to drink... do it like me~!"
Her cheeks turned rosy from drinking, and the bottle was nearly empty.
"Hmm? Not enough~
I'll go grab another bottle~!"
Sharon staggered to her feet, wobbling a bit before steadying herself.
"Don't bother."
Ye Li quickly supported her, "You'll trip before you even get to the door."
"Mmm... then..."
Sharon let her golden hair fall onto his shoulder and leaned her head on him, giggling softly.
"Then dance with me, Li~ Help me dance..."
'Dance in that outfit?'
Ye Li's gaze dropped for a second, noticing she was still wearing that sexy bodysuit...
'...That's way too seductive~'
