Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

But Shen Liang realized that she wasn't Mei. Although they looked about 80% alike, this woman seemed more like Raiden Mei seven or eight years later, more intellectual and serious. Most importantly, her figure was even better than Raiden Mei's. The yakuza young lady's bust size, close to an E cup, was already the limit for a young girl, but Mei's deep gaze revealed through the black fabric made one want to bury their face in it.

Moreover, Mei certainly has the means to fulfill such a boy's impulse.

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you cold?" Mei pulled back the blanket and beckoned naturally, "I've already warmed the bed for you, come in."

Go in?

Shen Liang made no attempt to hide his gaze at the mature beauty's flawless figure and fair skin, but Mei seemed completely oblivious to the boy's stare and patted the spot next to her.

Shen Liang thought to herself, "This lady, we don't even know each other yet. Isn't this progressing a bit too fast? I just finished showering! At least let's chat and exchange information first. Aren't we just sharing interests? You can tell me where I am, who I am, what I do, and how you captured me. It's not too late. I never refuse pretty girls. You don't need to be in such a hurry..."

But Shen Liang didn't utter a single curse from his mind when he finally spoke. His tone remained calm: "How did you keep the bed warm while you were outside the blankets?"

For some reason, Shen Liang felt a sense of familiarity with this way of talking, and his mood gradually calmed down. Here, in front of this black-haired beauty, he wasn't in a hurry to extract information or figure things out; he was simply happy to chat for a while longer.

Unexpectedly, Mei paused in her typing, gave him a strange look, and said, "The mattress has an automatic heating function."

Oh, an electric blanket, right?

Without hesitation, Shen Liang slipped into the covers, the warmth emanating from all directions. The long-haired black boy yawned lazily, his orange-red eyes closing slightly, before nestling in the woman's soft embrace, his adorable cheek rubbing against her soft, white breasts.

"If you're comfortable, just lie there quietly and don't talk. I need some peace and quiet." Mela pulled the covers up, still leaning against the headboard, stroking the boy's hair in her arms as she continued working without being affected.

At this moment, a pop-up window appeared in the lower right corner of the terminal screen with a pink girl's avatar and the ID "Pink Fairy Miss?".

Pink Fairy Miss: "Hmph hmph hmph."

Miss Pink Fairy: "Are you there? Are you there? Mei? My dear Mei, are you there?"

Pink Fairy Girl: "Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?—"

The profile picture kept flashing. Mei pinched the lazy boy's face in her arms and closed the work document.

Mei: "Just say what you have to say."

Pink Fairy: "Where's your doll?"

Mei glanced down, but the handsome young man seemed oblivious, lost in blissful contentment. Mei's legs were curled up, which he used as a seat, and the small boy nestled against her neck, half-asleep.

Mei replied, "I'm sleeping."

"Eh, sleeping? Hehehe, where does the doll sleep? If I remember correctly, Mei's room only has one bed."

"You care?"

"I care about it a lot!"

"But you only have one bed in your room, don't you?"

"Ah... Hehehe... Mei, you always bring up the unspoken understanding between us. After all, it's a doll, and who wouldn't want to sleep with the world's cutest doll? Even Sakura, who looks the most serious and earnest, can't resist it, let alone us who love all things beautiful and cute."

"It's you, not us."

"Oh dear, Mei, doesn't she like cute things? Hmph, what does a doll feel like after a bath? Cool and refreshing? Or smooth and soft?"

Mei almost thought the other party had installed a surveillance camera in her room. She looked up alertly and activated the infrared vision of her glasses to scan the surroundings.

The pink fairy girl sent a smug emoji, "There were no security cameras installed, it was just a girl's intuition~"

Mei sighed and typed: "All I can say is... it's soft and fluffy, and the hair smells nice. It feels pretty good."

"How does it compare to your partner?" The other person sent a cute girl emoji with a question mark on it.

“How would I know if I’ve never been in close contact with Kevin… Okay, never mind, what is it?” May asked. “Even though it’s after get off work hours, I’m still very busy. I have a lot of work to do, and Eve hasn’t been put to sleep yet.”

"Is Doll still awake? That's perfect. These days are Doll's routine check-up days. You know I'm not good at these things, and Sakura is too embarrassed to take off Doll's clothes. As for Mebius... we don't feel comfortable letting her be alone with Doll, right?" The other person seemed to like sending emoticons, and sent another troubled emoticon. "Since you're here, I'll ask you to take charge. You won't refuse, right?"

"This is my job," Mei said, not seeming to mind. "Should I post it in the group chat as usual?"

"Okay, I'll send it to the group first. The data will be sent to the lab later. After all, the baby's health isn't the main focus of any of the Fire Chaser Base's projects. There aren't many resources allocated to the 'Child of Man' project. Even the lab relies on Möbius's sponsorship. Honestly, since everyone is so pessimistic about the 'Child of Man' project, why did you pat my baby's head and make him call you 'sister'?"

"The Firemoth has many plans to execute, and it's impossible to approve funding for just one item. Besides, Eve doesn't belong to your family; she belongs to the entire Firemoth. In comparison, Eden at least provided all the funding for the 'Children of Man' project, and Aponia provided... well, never mind, it's not your place to claim Eve as yours anyway."

"Yes, yes, our 'Eve.' I won't argue with you, I won't argue with you, Mei, you're taking it too seriously. I'm not going to take Eve away from you; he belongs to all of us anyway~"

The Pink Fairy posted a cute girl emoji with puffed-out cheeks and then went offline.

Mei Shou lowered her head and saw the black-haired boy hugging her perfectly slender waist again, comfortably enjoying the warm fragrance.

It felt amazing to the touch; the firm, smooth skin on her waist was simply irresistible, and her soft yet upright figure was perfect for lounging. The faint fragrance was intoxicating. Shen Liang was drifting off to sleep when Mei pinched her nose.

Three seconds later, Shen Liang began to breathe through his mouth. Mei couldn't help but smile slightly at the boy's whimpering. His cuteness was almost too much for her to bear, but she hardened her heart and continued to pinch his nose until Shen Liang could no longer breathe and opened his eyes with a pitiful expression.

Then I saw the mature, dark-haired beauty smiling slightly with her lips pursed.

"What..." Shen Liang's mind hadn't fully recovered from the confusion.

"You've worked hard, but I can't go to bed so early tonight. I still have some things to finish." Mei lifted the boy off the bed as easily as she would a cat. Then she got up and took out various testing instruments from the cabinet.

Shen Liang wasn't surprised that her bedroom had so much medical equipment, because every fusion warrior in the Fire Moth base actually had such equipment in their bedroom. He had to do this kind of simple test every three days, and no one knew whose bedroom he slept in each day, so it was better to provide each person with a set.

Shen Liang paused, somewhat puzzled... The Moth Chaser Base, detection, fusion warriors...

These memories came flooding back naturally. He felt he had forgotten a lot, but returning here, everything began to revive.

However, Shen Liang's thoughts were quickly swayed by Mei. The beautiful Dr. Mei showed no shyness whatsoever, displaying her beautiful and voluptuous body as she busily moved equipment around. At this moment, all she wore was a black bra and glasses, not even her hip-length hair.

However, Shen Liang didn't have many romantic thoughts. She simply tilted her head and calmly said, "We're going to take pictures later, right? Is this okay?"

Mei paused, thought for a moment, and then realized, "That makes sense. After all, there are fourteen people in the group, and it's a public place."

She opened the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Shen Liang: "Eve, which one do you like?"

Shen Liang jumped off the bed barefoot. The closet was completely white; Mei usually wore white lab coats, and underneath, she mostly wore the Fire Chaser Base's regular uniform. Shen Liang's expression darkened slightly, then he suddenly noticed some slightly more fashionable and novel products in the drawer at the bottom of the closet.

What caught Shen Liang's eye the most was a gray sweater dress with a cutout back, a design that was quite bold and sexy.

Shen Liang looked at Mei while holding the clothes, his expression innocent.

"This one...this one?" Mei looked slightly troubled, glancing at the silent boy. "Do you like it?"

Shen Liang nodded straightforwardly.

“This backless sweater dress was a birthday gift from Kevin when I was a junior in college.” Mei touched the brand-new packaging bag and smiled nostalgically. “Supposedly, Sue gave him the suggestion, and I scolded him quite a bit because the design of this dress was simply too difficult to wear in public. It was far too daring for me as a student at the time. Professor Möbius saw it and laughed at me, calling it some kind of ‘otaku killer’ dress and saying that Kevin had ulterior motives.”

Shen Liang looked unhappy. "Were Mei and Kevin already boyfriend and girlfriend during college?"

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have scolded him like that.” Mei chuckled. “It’s precisely because he dared to do that before things had even reached that point that girls find him so annoying. Later, I found out it was that Su who came up with the crazy idea, saying that if I accepted, it would mean I could tacitly accept his confession, which would mean things would naturally fall into place. If I didn’t accept, it wouldn’t be a big deal, at most things would just stay the same… Kevin was so naive and believed it.”

"Does Mei know that Kevin likes you?" Shen Liang asked curiously.

“I’m not stupid, how could I not know? It’s just that I have a lot of things to do, and it would be a loss to humanity to waste too much time on romance.” Mei coughed twice. “Not to brag, but it is indeed a loss to humanity for a scientist like me to waste time on love.”

Shen Liang remained noncommittal.

"But since Eve likes it, let's give it a try. I just don't know if the clothes from college will still fit." Mei opened the package, looked at the expectant boy, and smiled slightly. "Since you want to see it, then cooperate with me for the examination. You can't let the incident happen again where I put a spoon on the back of your tongue and you immediately feel nauseous and vomit all over me."

Chapter Two: "It's okay, I'm very capable."

Rustling——

The sound of a girl changing clothes is naturally very pleasant to a boy's ears.

Many men hate it when women waste too much time changing clothes. For example, when you arrive at your girlfriend's building before a date, she might say, "I'm still putting on makeup and changing, wait a bit," and then you have to wait under the big tree at the entrance of building three. Often, it takes a full hour and you have to text her repeatedly before she finally arrives.

At this point, even if she's dressed up carefully, you're not in a good mood to appreciate it anymore. You say rudely, "Alright, let's go then," and your girlfriend, who was expecting praise from you, also gets upset. The tone of the date is unpleasant for both of you from the very beginning.

Therefore, for a long time, "put on makeup" and "change clothes" have been among the phrases that men hate to hear most from women.

But you only feel tired when you're waiting outside. If the girl changing clothes is right next to you, that's the most pleasant time for a man.

Mei, one of the leaders of the Moth Chasing Flames, was bending over as she put on the silver-gray backless wool dress, pulling her long black hair out from the open back and letting it fall loose. Her slender, white back and waistline were displayed in Shen Liang's view, and her pert, rounded hips were perfect. Because she was bending over with her back to the boy, she exuded charm, which made him blink.

Mei put on her backless sweater dress, turned around, her eyes calm and composed. She didn't show any shyness despite the boy's admiring gaze, but simply turned around habitually. "It's a little tight, are you satisfied?"

"Something's still missing." Shen Liang said indifferently, but made a strict request.

"What's missing?" Mei looked Shen Liang up and down seriously, and when she saw that his gaze was focused on her legs, she smiled helplessly. "That's right, boys your age are at the age when they are interested in women's silk clothing."

She took a roll of stockings from the drawer, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling the black pantyhose up from her fair toes all the way to the hem of her sweater. She never shied away from Shen Liang's gaze; in fact, she deliberately let the boy see every detail clearly.

The mature, black-haired beauty, wearing a gray backless wool dress and expensive black stockings with a moth-like pattern, finally turned around. This stunning female PhD student rarely dressed so elegantly; most of the time she wore work clothes. So the beauty reflected in the boy's eyes at this moment was something no one had ever seen before.

For Mei, this wasn't the first time she'd given in to a boy's capricious demands. In fact, she hadn't really liked wearing stockings before, but it was only at the boy's insistence that she discovered that this fabric was not only beautiful and comfortable to wear, but also quite practical. Regardless of the temperature, the thickness of stockings could be adjusted to ensure they were always suitable, while the thickness of pants offered little room for adjustment.

After changing clothes, it was time for the medical examination. Having satisfied Shen Liang's many desires, Mei naturally wouldn't allow him to escape.

Mei held Shen Liang, who had just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and was trying to avoid inspection, on her lap. With one hand holding the struggling Shen Liang, she used the other hand to shove a test tube-shaped metal instrument down Shen Liang's throat without hesitation.

"Yes, your teeth are developing normally, but you're still missing two molars to replace them."

"Waaah!" Shen Liang was pressed against Mei's soft, silky thigh, feeling both uncomfortable and nauseous, and flailing his arms and legs.

"Tongue coating is normal, no special fever symptoms." Mei calmly took a picture and sent it to the group chat.

"Awoooooo!"

"Don't move. Next is the heartbeat. Let me attach the detector. Okay... Then comes the blood activity concentration test. Stop struggling and stick your butt out; I'm going to give you the injection."

Photos were uploaded to the "Cuteest Doll of Zhu Huo's Exquisite Support Group" chat. After a brief silence, all sorts of excited comments flooded in.

For example, in this photo, Mei coldly corners a black-haired boy against a wall, then pries open his mouth and observes his teething process while adjusting her glasses. In the next photo, Mei presses the boy's chest against her legs, pinning him to the bed as he struggles, ignoring his resistance, and then listens to his heartbeat.

Pink Fairy Miss?: Hmm, as expected, the doll check-up was still a chaotic mess. It must have been tough for Mei.

Sakura: It seems that Doll and Dr. May have a good relationship. Last time he was with me, he even bit me to escape.
