Mike, wearing large headphones, finally returned to his large villa after passing by the bustling luxury stores on Fifth Avenue.
Heaven knows how he endured that entire journey.
In the most expensive neighborhood, the seemingly glamorous "madames" were filled with lust, intrigue, and vulgar thoughts as low as mud.
…
Yes, Mike realized on this journey that physical means could not block women's inner voices; the sounds seemed to transmit directly to his brain.
Good, bad, greedy, evil—they all surged in at once…
Knowing that this couldn't continue, Mike began to think about solutions.
If the ability to overhear women's inner voices was considered a form of "hearing":
Ears can, in a noisy environment, only hear the sounds they want to hear.
Similarly, the ability to overhear women's inner voices should also be able to do this.
Moreover, Nick, who also has the ability to overhear women's inner voices, hasn't gone crazy yet, which proves that there's a solution to the "drawback" of this ability.
So, for the next few days, Mike, unable to control his new ability, chose to stay in his luxurious villa.
Then, using Lina and several other girls, he began to try to "tame" this new ability.
Therefore, Mike also discovered that among the girls with whom he had close relationships, Lina and the little maid Carly had their hearts completely set on him.
Jessie, who works at King Investment Company, and Collins, who studies at Columbia University, both have a bit of a strong-woman quality.
While they love Mike, they also have their own life pursuits. Or rather, they have a desire to realize their self-worth.
And then there were the three girls of The Plastics, who were preparing to release their second album. The inner voices of these three could be described with three words: silly, sweet, and naive—
Besides wanting to spend more time with Mike, their inner voices were mostly about makeup, pretty clothes, or food.
As for life goals and career planning, there was absolutely none.
The three girls, who had already achieved their dream of becoming star, were simply about doing as they pleased and not striving for progress.
"Mike, I find I'm becoming more and more inseparable from you." After another intense melee, Regina spoke sweet nothings.
The other girls felt much the same.
While the girls found Mike increasingly "charming" lately, they were somewhat at a loss to explain what exactly this change was about.
Mike, who possesses the ability to overhear women's inner voices, discovered through this period of development that this ability is very useful in certain special situations.
For example, using this ability during physical activity allows him to be in sync with the girls' thoughts:
If the other person wants deeper, Mike can immediately provide it. If the other person wants shallower, Mike also understands.
You in me, water and milk blending…
In any case, after using his ability, Mike became very "understanding" when dealing with the girls.
He completely reached a state of great harmony—
"You all need to pay more attention lately. Now is a crucial time for your second album's release. Whether you can successfully transition depends on this one." Mike ignored the girls' sweet talk and specifically advised the three girls of The Plastics.
It was now early October, and The Plastics' second "inspirational" album was being released.
Due to the huge success of their first album, The Plastics only needed to "play it safe" with their second album to firmly establish their position among the new generation of singers.
It could be said that as long as the second album continued to be successful, The Plastics would have a legacy to live off for the next decade or so.
Yet, despite such an opportunity, the three girls of The Plastics were not serious about it, taking advantage of their promotional time to slack off and "rendezvous" with Mike.
"Got it, we'll go back and prepare for the next promotional performance." Regina, her body and mind satisfied, was very agreeable now.
Moreover, it was time for the three girls of The Plastics, who had snuck away, to return.
…
"Paige, what are you doing here?" After seeing off the three girls of The Plastics, Mike saw a "sneaky" Paige in the living room.
"I, I came out to get some water to drink," Paige explained guiltily, her eyes softly fixed on the man in front of her.
Having been tormented countless times by the sounds of "activities," she seemed less shy now than before.
As the girl was lost in thought, Mike, who had overheard her inner voice, pulled out a pair of earplugs from his pocket and said, "Here, take these. They might be of some use to you."
These earplugs were the ones Mike bought a few days ago when he was experimenting with whether he could block the ability to overhear women's inner voices through auditory means.
Now, they were being put to good use.
Then, under Paige's slightly resentful gaze, Mike turned and left the living room.
It wasn't that he lacked understanding of romance; it was simply not the right time yet.
At least, not until after her coming-of-age ceremony.
…
"Central Avenue, house Building No. 66, Fletcher should live here—"
It was another midday, and Mike, who had already controlled his ability to overhear women's inner voices, followed the information given by Father James and sought out the second "lucky one."
This Fletcher was a famous civil dispute lawyer in New York. His eloquent rhetoric and ability to twist black into white made him very successful in civil litigation.
However, such a person, at the peak of his career, developed a habit of lying due to the nature of his work.
He lied in court, he lied in life, and eventually, even his family members could hardly get a truthful word from him.
Finally, when Fletcher once again broke his promise to attend his son's fifth birthday party, his wife, Audrey, could no longer tolerate her husband's constant lies and lack of concern for his family.
So, Audrey took her five-year-old son Max and chose to divorce her husband, Fletcher.
At the same time, Fletcher lost his ability to lie.
In the church's records, they called this God's "curse," specifically used to punish those who habitually lie.
"Beautiful lady, do you know which floor Lawyer Fletcher lives on?" Arriving at the high-rise elevator, Mike met a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure.
"Hello, I'm Christa Ellen, you can call me Ellen." The beautiful woman introduced herself generously, then said, "If you're looking for the man named Fletcher Reede, he lives on the eighth floor, on the same floor as me."
"Thank you, Ms. Ellen, you've helped me a lot—" Mike, having obtained Fletcher's exact address, thanked the beauty politely.
"It's nothing," Ellen said, unable to resist secretly licking her lips.
A young, polite handsome guy was simply too attractive to a mature woman in her twenties.
As for the aloof Needy beside them, she was completely ignored by this woman.
Just then, the floor elevator arrived.
Ellen immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, guiding Mike inside. Then, as the elevator ascended, she even stood opposite Mike, head held high and chest out, displaying her "advantages."
One had to admit, the valley was very high, and the strait was very deep—
Next, seeing Mike's calm expression, without the awkwardness young men usually show when facing a beautiful woman, Ellen said with great interest, "Actually, I'm a fitness instructor. Your physique is very good. If you want to work out more, you can come find me."
As she spoke, this beautiful woman, with significant fitness capital, handed him a business card for a fitness center.
And then, when exchanging business cards, she didn't forget to secretly scratch Mike's palm.
Mature, sexy, seductive, busty…
A stunning beauty who possessed so many "virtues," who could resist that?
