I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

Incidentally, when Lin Xuanqi got off the plane, she almost slipped and fell twice in the middle of the stairs for some reason, but fortunately Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang caught her in time.

……

229. Shen Xi completes her ascension.

After being driven to his rented apartment, Cheng Fei went upstairs, put his luggage down, and strolled out with his hands in his pockets.

He took a taxi to Yinghua, bought a tiramisu at a bakery near the school gate, took another taxi back, walked to the upscale apartment building across the street, and took the elevator to the 36th floor.

Opening the familiar door, it was quiet inside, with a pair of small, light-colored casual shoes placed on the floor of the entryway.

The boy went inside, but couldn't see anyone. He pushed open the bedroom door, but still couldn't see anyone.

"Is he not here?"

He went to the study instead, and was stunned as soon as he opened the door.

Draft papers were scattered all over the study floor, covered with complex characters.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair was dressed in loungewear, her upper body slumped over a desk, seemingly asleep. In front of her were a large stack of books and piles of drafts.

In the quiet study, only the computer screen hummed.

Cheng Fei stepped forward, picked up the books on the table, and glanced at them: *Introduction to Particle Physics*, *Gauge Field Theory and Electroweak Unification*, *Linear Algebra*, *Complex Functions*, *Group Theory*, etc.

Many of them are in English, which makes people dizzy.

Cheng Fei picked up a few drafts, examined them for a moment, rubbed his temples, and put them aside.

The boy bent down, slipped one hand under Shen Xi's legs and the other under her armpits, and lifted her slender, delicate body, which felt as light as a feather.

"I'll carry you to the bedroom to sleep," the boy whispered in her ear.

The girl, whose eyes were tightly closed, slowly relaxed her tense body.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xi opened her eyes and found herself nestled in a warm embrace.

The girl looked up, her face expressionless, and met the gaze of the boy who was looking down at her. The two were on her bed, with the boy sitting against the headboard.

"Good morning, my little darling," the boy said casually, his arm around her back.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth and kicked him lightly, saying, "You take advantage of me as soon as you get back, you shameless piece of trash."

"How about this week's hug, Ms. Shen?" The boy hugged her even tighter.

"How long did you hug me this time? Sure enough, your nature of taking an inch and wanting a mile will never change." Shen Xi buried her face in his chest and gave a heavy, cold laugh.

“Today is a special day, and I miss you so much, so let me hug you a little longer, Shen Xi.” The young man brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead and admired her delicate features.

The girl's eyes flickered, and she turned her face away. "Pretentiousness can't hide your filthy and disgusting nature."

"By the way, Professor Shen, what are you researching? I can't understand the formulas you wrote." Cheng Fei put down her phone and picked up a draft from the bedside table.

"It's not surprising that aquatic mammals with low intelligence can't understand it." Shen Xi leaned softly against him, glancing at him only once, her expression not without sarcasm.

"Could it be that you've awakened the consciousness of the Celestial Queen these past few days and are gradually transcending Earth's humanity? Are you still the Shen Xi I used to know?" the boy asked in surprise.

The girl kicked him hard, her face cold. "First of all, no one here belongs to you. Secondly, I just want to use the Protoss's knowledge to unify the powerful force into the electroweak theory in a way that humans on Earth can understand."

"You've really become the Queen of Blades? As a human from Earth, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you please explain in more detail?"

"Please make it clear that you are just an aquatic mammal on Earth, not a human. Also, what I mean is that Earth's physics has now unified the four fundamental forces of electromagnetism and the weak force into the electroweak theory. I want to use the Protoss's knowledge to go a step further and unify the strong force into it."

"So you were pushing the frontiers of physics, I understand now, and that's why you succeeded?"

"No." Shen Xi replied expressionlessly.

"So, we're almost there?"

"No, not at all." His expression remained unchanged.

"So, success is just around the corner?"

"It's difficult, and it will take some time." Shen Xi turned her face away.

"Teacher Shen, do you know? It's a bit unfair that you're burying your face in my arms like a little animal. How much cuter do you want to be?" Cheng Fei gazed at the girl's delicate and pretty face, feeling an urge to move closer to her.

"I can't stand the disgust. I was hoping to manage to rest for a bit, but I was too naive." The girl's brows furrowed, and she stared at him with a look of utter disgust, as if she had just seen a cockroach crawling across her pillow while she was sleeping soundly. She quickly got up and moved away, crossing her arms over her chest with an expression of extreme loathing.

Cheng Fei sat in his seat and looked at her. "Teacher Shen, don't you think this exaggerated reaction of being slow to realize something is too deliberate? Just now you were leaning against me very obediently and comfortably."

"Stop talking, or I'll really throw up. Just pretend I was half asleep and had a mental breakdown." Shen Xi covered her mouth with a serious expression.

"Okay, but I have a suggestion: it's best to hold off on pushing the frontiers of geophysics for now."

"why?"

"Even if you publish your research, it won't be believed by anyone if it's incomplete. Although you are very smart, you are just a high school student who hasn't even gone to college and lacks basic research background."

Shen Xi frowned. "Then I will directly reveal the Protoss's universal theory that encompasses all fundamental particles. I have already copied down the summary that Isena dictated."

"Don't do that. Things that current Earth civilization can't verify with devices are no different from myths. And it's fine if no one cares, but if it attracts unnecessary attention, Professor Shen, you don't want our daily life to end here, do you?" Cheng Fei said seriously.

Shen Xi stared at him in silence for a second, then sneered with disdain, "No amount of excuses can hide the fact that he is simply indifferent to the development of Earth's civilization and only cares about himself."

“Teacher Shen, I’m so glad that you still care so much about your former blue homeland even after you ascended to become the Protoss Queen. Your noble sentiments make me feel ashamed.” The young man bowed to her, then picked up another item from the bedside table and handed it to her with both hands. “By the way, please use this, my princess.”

"What is this?" Shen Xi glanced at it, unmoved.

"Don't you recognize it? This is your favorite tiramisu before you ascended to heaven. It's a traditional dessert from Earth, bought from the bakery near the main gate of Sakura."

"Why?" Shen Xi stared at him expressionlessly.

"Why what?"

"Why did you suddenly go to the school gate to buy it?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"Because you said that's the best." The boy said matter-of-factly.

"So you always bought them at nearby intersections because you thought it was too far?"

"I just like you and want to give you the best, Teacher Shen. What are you doubting?" the boy asked, puzzled.

Shen Xi looked at him for a moment, took the tiramisu, and lowered her eyes. "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered an old saying: 'Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves.'"

……

230. Cheng Fei and Shen Xi officially become partners.

"Don't mention it, Teacher Shen. What did I do? I bought you food from so far away, and you don't even thank me." The boy looked heartbroken and shook his head.

"Thank you," Shen Xi said expressionlessly, then opened the box and began to eat with a spoon.

Cheng Fei stared at her with great interest.

Even when the cool and aloof young woman is eating dessert in bed, her ladylike sitting posture with her legs curled up is pleasing to the eye.

Shen Xi took a few bites, frowned, and looked up. "What are you looking at?"

"Look how cute it is."

"Disgusting, don't stare at me with those filthy eyes."

"It's just looking. Looking won't get you pregnant, Teacher Shen."

“That’s even more disgusting, shut up.” The girl glared at him angrily.

“Okay.” The boy continued to look at him.

Half a minute later, Shen Xi observed the boy's gaze out of the corner of her eye and finally found that the focus was on her feet.

The girl's curled-up feet were small and white, giving off a strangely charming and clumsy feeling.

Her eyes flickered, then she suddenly realized something, looked up, and her dark eyes became empty, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Where are my socks?" The girl remembered clearly that she should have been wearing a pair of off-white short socks.

"I'll take it off for you. It's not healthy to sleep in those clothes." The boy said matter-of-factly.

The girl gritted her teeth, her gaze sweeping across the room, her icy eyes fixed on him. "So where did you put it?"

The boy hesitated for a second, then took something out of his pocket. "Oh, it's here. I was going to put it in the bathroom when I left, but you looked so cute while you were sleeping that I forgot."

"Cheng Fei...you are utterly filthy and hopelessly disgusting!" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, her expression turning cold, and she couldn't help but curse, snatching the crumpled socks and hiding them behind her back.

"Teacher Shen, you're exaggerating. Although your socks are small and cute, I don't belong to any group with special fetishes and I won't do anything strange."

"Enough! Taking off a girl's socks while she's asleep and then carrying them around is already an indescribably disgusting and perverted act." Shen Xi glared at him, as if she were rebuking a criminal.

The boy raised his hands in surrender, reminding her, "Teacher Shen, your reaction is too exaggerated."

The girl's eyes flickered, and she took a deep breath, finally managing to calm herself down...

As always, Shen Xi ate half of the tiramisu before saying she couldn't eat anymore, and Cheng Fei finished the rest.

It was still afternoon. Shen Xi had simply taken a nap because she was too sleepy at noon due to lack of sleep the night before.

The two returned to the study, where Cheng Fei helped Shen Xi organize and store her drafts, in preparation for their future publication as a groundbreaking paper in the physics community.

"Teacher Shen, so you've been researching this for the past few days?"

"What's the problem?" the girl asked expressionlessly.

"No, it's just that I felt a little ashamed when I thought about how I've wasted the last few days."

“You should reflect on more than just this.” The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Teacher Shen, which aspect are you referring to?"

"Heh." The girl didn't answer.

Cheng Fei shook the mouse to wake up the screen.

“Governor, welcome back.” Isena leaned closer to the screen to greet him.

"Little Yi, I have an important task for you now." Cheng Fei stared at the young girl in the blue and white sailor uniform.

"Please give instructions." Isena stood at attention in a second.

"The stocks I asked you to pick a few days ago were very good," Cheng Fei praised.

During his time in the island nation, the boy used WeChat, logged into this computer, to remotely control Isena and conduct tests. It proved that she had an overwhelming advantage over the stock market of Earth's humans.

“Of course, I’m high-performance, you know.” Isena puffed out her flat chest, her little face showing no sign of pride.

"Now I'm officially handing this account over to you for management. The requirements are simple: first, the position should not be less than 50%; second, you must have a positive return every day, but don't try to catch a bunch of stocks that hit their daily limit every day. Mix up the good and the bad stocks to make the data appear a bit random. Do you understand?" Cheng Fei logged into the account that Lin Xuanqi had given him using the trading software.

Most of the original 100,000 yuan has been lost.

"I guarantee the mission will be accomplished." Isena saluted.

“If there’s ever a loss, then you can just wait to be formatted.” Cheng Fei pointed at the camera on the screen, his tone becoming harsher, like a heartless boss exploiting child laborers.

"Yes, I understand." The young girl on the screen shivered, shrinking her neck.

Shen Xi watched coldly, "Heh, indifferent to the development of Earth's civilization, yet scheming to amass wealth for himself, truly a despicable villain."

“Teacher Shen, why are you talking to me like that? Have you forgotten how short of money we are? Now we have a solution: let her earn the money to upgrade her own hardware. How can that be called despicable?” Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Hopefully, the money she earns will actually be invested in hardware instead of being mostly squeezed out as surplus value by some bloodsuckers." Shen Xi's cold gaze seemed to see through everything.

"What do you mean by vampire? What do you mean by exploitation? As an apostle, she was born to serve the ghetto and the Queen, and I was just managing her as a governor. Even if I took the money, I did it to do something meaningful." Cheng Fei spoke with righteous indignation.

"Heh, I hope it's not just empty words." Shen Xi raised her eyes, looking like she couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Hey Teacher Shen, enough with the small talk. By the way, you're sixteen now, right?"

"What do you want?" The girl immediately became wary.

"What kind of look is that? It's like I'm trying to trick you into getting a marriage certificate. You're not old enough. I want you to open an account in your name for investment purposes."

"Don't you already have an account?" Shen Xi looked at the screen.
