A few minutes later, **Ethan Carter** dried his hair, changed into clean clothes, and reappeared in front of **Amanda Carter**.
"Why did you come to Qidao for nothing? On a business trip?"
"I guess so. I came to see you by the way."
He looked at the black suitcase with an electronic combination lock beside the sofa and asked curiously, "What's in the box?"
"A gift for you."
**Amanda Carter** walked over and opened the suitcase, taking out a complete set of black branded suits and dresses.
**Ethan Carter** blinked: "So grand? Am I getting married tomorrow? How come I didn't know..."
"You have a blind date arranged by the Marriage and Birth Bureau tomorrow," **Amanda Carter** said, holding the suit and comparing it to him, "It's customized according to your figure, it should fit."
**Ethan Carter** slapped his head with a palm, his expression was very painful.
He almost forgot about the blind date.
"How did you know?" **Ethan Carter** came back to his senses after a moment.
"I used a little bit of my connections to find out."
"As expected of an elite of the Security Bureau headquarters, you have a lot of connections." **Ethan Carter**'s tone was a bit weird.
"By the way, my dad asked me to come and ask you if you want to go back," **Amanda Carter** looked serious, "Xingzhou City has been built very well in the past two years."
"I'm not interested in the Security Bureau, and the Seven Islands are not bad either." **Ethan Carter** smiled, "I strongly recommend that you take a high-speed trip around the island. It's very convenient to take the high-speed rail. Of course, the best experience is definitely riding a motorcycle."
**Amanda Carter** nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll tell my dad when I go back and ask him to consider taking a vacation to travel around the Seven Islands."
**Ethan Carter** was slightly stunned, a little confused about her intentions.
**Amanda Carter** picked up the handle of the suitcase: "I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound. Good luck on the blind date tomorrow."
"Huh? Are you leaving so late?" **Ethan Carter** was surprised.
He thought **Amanda Carter** had been waiting for him at home and would stay for one night. He was ready to give up his bed.
"Didn't you tell your roommate on the phone not to let me into your room?" **Amanda Carter** asked innocently, "Did I misunderstand? Doesn't this sentence mean to drive me away?"
Damn, can **Shawn Miller**'s phone still be used when it leaks so much sound?
**Ethan Carter** scratched his head awkwardly: "How about you sleep on the bed? The sheets and quilt covers were just changed the day before yesterday. If you don't mind..."
"What about you?" **Amanda Carter**'s mouth curled up slightly.
"I can sleep on the floor or the sofa." **Ethan Carter** looked generous.
**Amanda Carter** thought for a while, put down the suitcase, walked forward, and stretched out her hands to him.
Before **Ethan Carter** could react, she pinched his cheek.
"No matter how willful I am, I won't let my brother who is going on a blind date the day after tomorrow sleep on the floor or the sofa."
She pinched **Ethan Carter**'s cheek and smiled gently.
Is there any connection between the two? It is her classic nonsense.
**Ethan Carter**'s mind turned, and he suddenly realized that **Amanda Carter** might be teasing him about the fact that he was about to go on a blind date.
"Amanda, you've almost given up..." **Ethan Carter** slapped her hand down with a disgusted expression, "You are still being charged a high single tax yourself!"
"I am considered an active civil servant in a high-risk position, and I am not within the scope of the tax." **Amanda Carter** shook her index finger.
"Does the Security Bureau still have such treatment?"
"It has always been." **Amanda Carter** crossed her arms, "So you'd better think carefully about what Dad asked you. I will stay in Qidao for a while, and you have enough time to think about it before answering."
"You yourself said that it is a high-risk position. You and **Andrew Carter** really don't treat me as a family, right?" **Ethan Carter**'s ability to complain has reached a new level.
**Amanda Carter** did not explain either. She knew that **Ethan Carter** understood the nature of the work of the Security Bureau very well, and she only needed to convey **Andrew Carter**'s meaning.
"I'm leaving. Contact me if there is anything."
"Where are you going tonight? Has the Qidao branch arranged accommodation for you?" **Ethan Carter** said with a little concern.
He thought that if there was no arrangement, it would not be impossible to make do with him for a while, after all, it was still windy and rainy outside.
"A king-size bed room in a five-star hotel on the central commercial street in Shangsu District. What? Want to go together?" **Amanda Carter** teased him openly.
"No." **Ethan Carter** answered honestly.
It wasn't the first time they had been talking nonsense over the years. They had already understood each other very well.
**Amanda Carter** went out with her suitcase. Her long boots made a crisp sound in the silent corridor. **Ethan Carter** watched her disappear around the corner of the stairs from the door.
He took out his cell phone, edited a message, and sent it to **Amanda Carter**: "Be careful on the road and stay safe."
"I'm an elite from the Security Bureau headquarters. Don't think too much and go to bed early. Good night."
**Amanda Carter** replied almost instantly.
Yes, with **Amanda Carter**'s ability, he doesn't need to worry at all.
After all, her ability itself is a dangerous and powerful weapon.
...
"Beep..."
The electronic bracelet made a harsh sound.
"Citizen ID **Ethan Carter**, good morning. The blind date event arranged for you by the Marriage and Birth Bureau of Qidao City in Iron Dome Paradise will be held at 10:30 am tomorrow. Please be sure to arrive at the designated location on time."
**Ethan Carter** opened his sleepy eyes on the messy bed, raised his left hand, and squinted at the electronic bracelet.
At this time, the annoying electronic sound sounded again.
"Beep..."
"Citizen ID **Ethan Carter**, you are over 22 years old. According to the Iron Dome Paradise Management Act, if you do not register to form a family within one year, the Iron Dome Paradise Management Bureau will impose a 30% single tax on you in accordance with the law."
"For the prosperity and rejuvenation of mankind, we urge every citizen to consciously fulfill their marriage and childbearing obligations."
Obligations...
**Ethan Carter** cursed and got up from the bed, and went to the bathroom sink like a soulless zombie.
Turning on the faucet to release the rushing water, he clasped his hands together and scooped up a handful of water to slap on his face.
The chill that penetrated his heart immediately made his chaotic mind clearer.
At this moment, something strange happened.
"Don't go!"
A crisp voice like a wind chime suddenly came into his ears.
**Ethan Carter**'s shoulders trembled, staring at the mirror in front of the sink, and saw a reflection of a blonde **Amanda Carter** behind him in the mirror.
"When did you come? You didn't come to wake me up on purpose... Hey, you dyed your hair?"
**Ethan Carter** felt incredible—he and **Amanda Carter** have been together for so many years, and he has never seen her dye her hair.
The reflection in the mirror has almost the same face as **Amanda Carter**, but the hair color is bright and brilliant, like golden sunshine.
"Something bad will happen at Dream Journey Theme Park tomorrow, don't go."
The blonde **Amanda Carter** seemed not to hear **Ethan Carter**'s question and warned him seriously.
"What bad thing? What are you talking about?" **Ethan Carter** turned around in confusion, wanting to talk to her face to face.
But when he turned around, he saw **Shawn Miller** yawning in pajamas and walking into the bathroom from outside.
There is nothing blonde **Amanda Carter**.
"Who are you talking to? What did the female commissioner want to talk to you about last night?" **Shawn Miller** stretched and walked to the toilet to relieve himself.
"I..."
**Ethan Carter**'s brain was a little confused. He looked at the mirror hesitantly and screamed in fear.
**Shawn Miller**, who was relieving himself, shuddered and almost missed the target.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so noisy so early in the morning?"
**Ethan Carter** did not answer **Shawn Miller**, but reached out to touch the mirror.
His index finger fell on the cheek of the blonde **Amanda Carter** in the mirror, and he murmured, "Who... are you?"
