With Chu Ze's voice, the figure sitting on the tall office chair in front of him slowly stood up.
However, she didn't have her black pantyhose and that iconic pointy hat.
In their place was a green, high-slit cheongsam, and the snow-white thighs revealed from under the cheongsam.
"If you're looking for Herta, you might have to wait a bit."
The woman's gentle voice sounded.
Chu Ze immediately recognized the other party's identity:
"Huh, it's Ruan Mei."
"Why are you here? Where's Herta?"
Ruan Mei's gaze was as calm as autumn water:
"She's taking a shower inside."
"I saw that there was no response in the office, so I came in on my own."
The only ones who could come and go freely in the office were probably Chu Ze and Ruan Mei.
Even her partners, Screwllum and Stephen, had to get permission to open the door.
However, before Chu Ze could carefully listen to the satisfying sounds of Herta's shower, Ruan Mei had already walked over gracefully:
"It seems you've already gotten the Charm Brooch."
Chu Ze turned his attention back:
"Yeah, thanks to you, I went straight to the coordinates you provided."
"You really saved me a lot of trouble."
Ruan Mei's eyes flickered slightly, and her body was already in front of Chu Ze.
She took a light sniff, and then said something with a calm expression that made Chu Ze's face change slightly.
"Did you do it with that girl who had a Stellaron implanted in her?"
"...Eh?"
"Not only did you do it, but it was also a close frontal... and almost no life essence was leaked..."
"Wait, how do you know so clearly!"
Chu Ze's expression was strange as he took half a step back.
The corner of Ruan Mei's mouth curled up slightly, as if showing a slight smile:
"Don't worry, I don't have a hobby of peeping."
"I just wanted to tell you that I am extremely sensitive to the aura of life, and I have considerable experience in research in related fields."
"If you can participate in my experiments, you may have a harvest far beyond your expectations."
"For example... digging out the memories you've forgotten for some reason, or exploring the truth of the mutual attraction between the Stellaron-infused..."
Ruan Mei's smile was very beautiful.
This was a smile with a different kind of charm, completely different from Herta's beauty.
But from her smile, Chu Ze couldn't feel any active emotions.
It was as if she were just looking at a satisfactory item, not a living member of the opposite sex.
"I..."
"You don't need to give me an answer right away."
Ruan Mei was already standing in front of Chu Ze.
She extended her slender fingers and gently pressed them against Chu Ze's lips.
Her blue-gray eyes swept over the shimmering Charm Brooch, then settled on Chu Ze's face:
"Because I no longer trust, I will no longer be let down."
"You're not wrong. I really don't see you as a member of the opposite sex I can stand shoulder to shoulder with."
"But... is that really important?"
The woman gently stood on her tiptoes.
Her eyes gradually drew closer, her lips slightly parted, and a fragrance unique to plum blossoms entered Chu Ze's nose:
"The complexities of the universe are all distractions. Only the essence of life fascinates me."
"And I can be sure that you will be my most satisfactory experimental subject."
"Both of us can, in the continuous exploration, achieve our respective ultimate goals..."
Chu Ze swallowed hard.
If the person before him had changed the subject, he would have long muttered "what is this gibberish," and then directly hugged her thigh and charged forward.
After all, this was already a teasing and provocative act.
With his personality, there was no way he would refuse the暗示 (anshi - hint/suggestion) conveyed by a beautiful woman.
But Ruan Mei also said that her research in the field of life, which she was skilled in, would be of great help to him in [recovering his childhood memories].
This point alone was enough to make him suppress his vigorous desires and start to think rationally.
"Joining your experiment can solve many of the current mysteries. Is that what you mean?"
Chu Ze asked.
Ruan Mei nodded slightly:
"I rarely make any guarantees. But for now, the secrets on you are enough to attract my interest."
"In addition to your special relationship with Herta, I am willing to accommodate you and meet all your requests."
Her fingertips brushed across Chu Ze's face and neck, and then slowly downward, gently brushing over his strong and powerful muscles:
"And it's undeniable that in the future, I may develop feelings for you and have a primitive desire for procreation."
"Just like now... heh, a tenfold charm brooch. Herta really isn't afraid of things getting out of hand..."
Today's Ruan Mei seemed to be a bit talkative.
Clearly, she was also affected by the Curio.
Although she didn't fall on the spot like Asta, even a genius from the Genius Society couldn't be completely immune to Chu Ze's tenfold charm.
Chu Ze tentatively reached out and wrapped his arm around Ruan Mei's waist.
This time, it was truly a warm and fragrant jade in his arms.
Ruan Mei did not stop his movement, but in her blue-gray eyes, there was a fleeting fluctuation of emotion.
"I..."
But this time, before she could finish, Herta, with her wet hair loose, suddenly poked her head out of the private bathroom in the corner of the office:
"Hey, you two over there. What do you think you're doing in someone else's office?"
A third person's voice interrupted the atmosphere between Chu Ze and Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei blinked, and while quietly taking two steps back, she looked at Herta with the same calm expression as always:
"Nothing, just talking about some experimental topics."
"...Do you think I'm blind? Do you need to be so close to talk?"
Herta closed the bathroom door again.
In less than a few seconds, she came out again.
Her gorgeous purple dress exuded a faint, fresh fragrance, and her slender legs were wrapped in black pantyhose. Clearly, she had returned to her usual attire.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Ruan Mei with an inexplicable expression:
"Deliberately choosing this time to come over, did you plan this all along?"
Ruan Mei tilted her head slightly:
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"I was just simply extending an invitation to Chu Ze, asking him to join me in the field of life sciences..."
"He's not interested."
Herta said decisively:
"He's interested in combat and muscles, and in confessing to me in different ways every day."
"He has no clue about your tedious and complex life research."
Ruan Mei rarely chose to back down:
"He is just a participant. The lack of experience can be compensated by me."
"And whether he participates or not, what you say probably doesn't count, right, Herta?"
The Charm Brooch on his chest was still glowing.
And the gazes of the two geniuses also seemed to meet in the air.
The stalemate only lasted for a moment.
Then, their gazes fell on Chu Ze's body one after another.
"You should decide," Ruan Mei blinked gently.
Herta was even more direct: "Her or me, make your choice."
