After a while, Cheng Fei carried the girl into the bathroom, the sound of running water mixed with some subtle noises.

After some time, Cheng Fei carried the girl into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. He then took a clean white shirt from the closet and draped it over her shoulders.

"Here, you should wear this."

Still somewhat dazed, Lin Xuanqi put on her shirt herself, buttoning it up. Because it was a large size, the hem covered her thighs.

She took a deep breath, patted her face to dispel the flush, and sat on the bed with a stern expression. "Cheng Fei, I've noticed you're getting bolder and bolder. Now you're always causing trouble for me, aren't you?"

"What nonsense? What nonsense have I done?" The boy took a carton of milk from the refrigerator, opened it, and poured himself a glass.

"Stop pretending. You know perfectly well what you've been up to," Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes, annoyed.

"Tch, Xuanqi, stop being so stubborn. You already..."

"Already my foot! Say one more word and you'll be feeding the fish in South Bay!" Lin Xuanqi snapped, her smile terrifying.

The boy made a gesture of surrender, picked up his cup, and drank his milk.

"Cheng Fei, I came to your house and you didn't even pour me a glass of water?" Lin Xuanqi stared at him with a half-smile.

"I was just thinking I'd give you something else to drink later, so I didn't pour it." The boy shook his head, took a sip of milk, walked towards the girl, and cupped her flawless little face close to his.

Lin Xuanqi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she swallowed the milk.

Once the boy let go, she wiped her mouth, raised her chin, and smiled charmingly, "Cheng Fei, let me make this clear first, our bet doesn't include me drinking it."

"Huh? It's not included? I thought that was the default." The boy's face showed a serious expression of surprise.

"Default my foot! I didn't default, so don't try to give me any additional clauses." Lin Xuanqi raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, then let's add this one, honey. You don't have any objections, right?" the young man said casually.

"I have a problem with it, I have a huge problem with it!" Lin Xuanqi crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her face away from her.

"Please add me, my wife. This is my only request in this life." The young man clasped his hands together.

"Cheng Fei, stop thinking about these messy things all day long. Just thinking about drinking it makes me want to die. What exactly are you trying to do?" Lin Xuanqi glared at him with disgust.

"Xuanqi, this is like drinking yogurt without licking the lid or eating instant noodles without drinking the soup. If you don't do it, the whole thing loses its meaning, so it's really important." The boy's tone was sincere.

"Hehe, sorry, I never lick the lid of my yogurt, and I don't eat instant noodles either." The girl let out a malicious laugh.

The next second she was pushed to the ground, and the boy looked down at her from above.

"Cheng Fei, what are you trying to do now?" The girl was fearless, raising her chin and smiling as she met his gaze.

"Lin Xuanqi, if you don't agree, believe me, I'll really kill you tonight." The boy stroked her face with one hand, his tone fierce.

The girl's eyes trembled slightly, then she smiled charmingly, her graceful legs swaying, "Husband, what else can you do besides scare people like this? I beg you to kill me, would you really do that?"

"I'll show you whether I'm willing to part with it or not." The boy leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Lin Xuanqi, you're such a shopper."

The girl's eyes widened, her expression turning displeased, and she frowned. "Cheng Fei! You dare to insult me? Ha..."

The girl's angry words came to an abrupt end with a weak sigh, leaving only her alluring eyes staring at the ceiling, squinting and unfocused, like a small boat caught in a stormy sea, clinging tightly to whatever was at hand.

After a while, Lin Xuanqi's chest heaved less and less. She placed one hand on her slightly sweaty forehead, blinked at the unfamiliar ceiling, turned over, looked at the boy who had been off her for more than ten minutes, and whispered, "Cheng Fei, what are you doing?"

"Finished resting? I'm reading." The boy sitting in the chair looked up at her, his expression serious.

"What book?" Lin Xuanqi asked in surprise.

"Servo Control System Design, the one you were reading before." The boy held up the book cover and waved it.

"Why are you watching this too?" Lin Xuanqi asked, puzzled.

"Research, you said the humanoid robot market will be huge in the future. Even though I work in quantitative analysis, I still think it's better to do some research."

"Heh, you're quite hardworking." Lin Xuanqi gazed at the boy's profile, a slight smile curving her lips.

"Of course, how can we kill Lin Xuanqi if we don't work hard?" The boy nodded with a confident expression.

The girl blushed and spat, "Cheng Fei, are you never going to stop? Stop talking about killing me all the time."

The boy stared intently at the book, then raised his hands in surrender.

Lin Xuanqi was silent for a moment, then buttoned up her shirt, got out of bed and went to the desk where the boy was sitting. She randomly picked out a few books from the mountain of books on the desk, frowned and sneered, "Why is this such a mess? Fitness, programming, and sheet music?"

"There's not much space, so we can only pile them up haphazardly." The boy shook his head, staring at the books.

"I'll get you a big study later." Lin Xuanqi patted his face.

444. Lin Xuanqi falls in love with Cheng Fei.

Lin Xuanqi, dressed in a shirt, walked around the small bedroom, occasionally opening the wardrobe and drawers, looking around with the kind of novelty a child would have when entering an amusement park for the first time.

Cheng Fei glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said casually, "Speaking of Xuanqi."

"what happened?"

"Actually, I've always had a question."

Lin Xuanqi turned on the synthesizer on the table next to her, casually strummed a few chords, and said without turning her head, "Speak."

"What exactly is your relationship with Shen Xi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xuanqi turned to look at the boy, her brows furrowing slightly. "Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm just curious. I always felt that your relationship was special. I've wanted to ask you about it before, but I haven't had the chance." The boy looked up and met her gaze, then looked down and continued reading.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you the truth." Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, and she let out a soft laugh. "She's my cousin."

"Huh?!" The boy looked up, dumbfounded. "I thought you two were just ordinary acquaintances. How come I couldn't find out anything about this?"

"Ha, she severed ties with the Lin family after her mother died. Where are you going to find out about those old stories?" Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes.

"Sever ties? Why?" the boy asked in surprise.

"Cheng Fei, you care about her a lot, don't you?" Lin Xuanqi's smile turned terrifying.

"I'm just curious. If I don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But she's been acting crazy again lately, and I'm speechless." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong with her now?" Lin Xuanqi's eyes narrowed.

"I was reading this book in the club activity room before, and I was originally planning to take the opportunity to trick her into investing some money together. But after listening to her, she called us investors bloodsuckers and said she wanted to start her own company to build humanoid robots." The boy looked shocked.

"Huh, make it yourself? Are you kidding me?" Lin Xuanqi was also stunned.

"Anyway, she actually registered a company called Real Technology, and said it was a club activity, forcing me to help her write algorithms." The boy seemed to have a bitter pill to swallow.

"How come I didn't know about this? Isn't your club activity supposed to be about finding evidence that the corridor is made up of aliens?" Lin Xuanqi asked suspiciously.

"First of all, it wasn't us, it was her. As for the aliens, of course, there's no follow-up. Where would so many aliens come from? This time, she deliberately excluded you and Ye Shuang, and told me not to say anything either, so don't tell anyone that I said it." The boy was full of caution.

Lin Xuanqi let out a cold laugh, "Exclude me? Interesting. I'll go to school on Monday and have some fun with her."

"Okay, good luck. I won't go to the activity room on Monday."

"What, are you afraid of offending her?" Lin Xuanqi stared at the boy, her eyes turning unfriendly.

"Sigh, her father is the head of the security department in Academy City, right? I think it's better for everyone to keep things peaceful. If you have a personal grudge against her, you can fight her one-on-one." The boy practically had the words "cowardly" written all over his face.

"You're not going either. You're afraid of her now that you know her background?" Lin Xuanqi's smile turned dangerous.

"How could that be? I'll always stand with Xuanqi." The boy immediately became honest.

"That's more like it." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes, got up from the dumbbell bench in the corner, came to the boy, threw the book in his hand, sat down in his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, her delicate white feet dangling in mid-air, and stared at the boy who was so close to her. "Let's not talk about her anymore, Cheng Fei, I have a question for you."

"what?"

"How do you manage to do so many things? You have to attend classes, work out, and write code all day long. How can you manage?" The girl glanced at the various books on the table, leaned closer to him until they were almost touching, her usually aloof eyes filled with curiosity, and a faint fragrance emanated from her breath.

"Is it difficult? Since I stopped working, I get up at 6:30 every morning and go to bed at 2:00 in the morning. Apart from eating, commuting, and being with you, I spend the rest of my time reading or exercising. I feel that as long as you are willing to spend time, there is nothing you can't learn. Many people are just too lazy." The boy gently stroked her long, black, cascading hair with one hand behind her back and placed the other hand in front of her.

"Don't you feel tired of living and want to stop and rest? Like playing games or watching movies?" Lin Xuanqi looked up at the boy, hooking her arms around his neck and letting him do as he pleased.

Unbutton the shirt one button at a time.

"Are you tired? It's better to spend your time studying than to work yourself to death. I used to play games like this in the corridor, doing freebies for others, and I'm sick of it. I do watch movies often, but I watch the original audio version without subtitles as listening practice." The boy's eyes were sincere.

Lin Xuanqi blinked, leaned in, and felt her rosy, alluring lips deform under the gentle pressure. The burning sensation made her squint her eyes, her heart trembling. She whispered, "Cheng Fei, I really don't know if growing up in an orphanage was unfortunate or fortunate."

"Of course that's unfortunate. I'm just too unlucky. If I had this much time to use since I was a child, I would have learned so many things by now." The boy felt her heartbeat without restraint. He could stop it whenever he wanted.

"That's true, but from now on you won't be unlucky anymore, because I've always been very lucky, and I can share some with you." Lin Xuanqi's lips curled up, and she pressed herself close to the boy, letting his palm sink into her.

"Xuanqi, you are my lucky goddess. I feel that the best rest is being with you." The boy hugged her tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to crush her completely and merge her into himself.

Lin Xuanqi's breathing became rapid. "Cheng Fei, do you really like me that much?"

"Of course." The boy treated her like a doll, tormenting her at will.

"What do you like about me? Tell me." The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer of light appearing in them.

"Xuanqi, you should ask me what I don't like about you."

"So what do you dislike about me?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Let's ask another question."

"why?"

"Even with my genius mind, I couldn't have come up with this."

"Smooth-talking." A smile curved the corners of the girl's lips, then suddenly turned wistful. "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"I'll ask you one more time."

"What."

"Tell me the truth, do you still hate me?" The girl struggled to lift her head from the endless onslaught, staring wide-eyed at the boy's gentle eyes, as if trying to find something within them.

"Xuanqi, why are you so insecure now?" The boy looked deeply into her eyes.

"Cheng Fei, say you love me." Lin Xuanqi leaned in and said in a muffled voice.

"Xuanqi, I love you." The boy said without hesitation.

"I love you too, my good puppy~" Lin Xuanqi revealed a malicious smile and reached out to pinch the boy's face.

"Wait, Xuanqi, this seems to be the first time you've said you love me. Could it be that you didn't love me before?" The boy paused, as if he had suddenly realized something.

445. Let's congratulate Cheng Fei on taking another step forward in his revenge plan.

"Hehe, you were the one who pursued me, why should I love you?" Lin Xuanqi tilted her head and laughed maliciously.

"How long have we been together?" The boy's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Before, it was just liking, but now it's love. What's wrong with that? You have a problem with it?" Lin Xuanqi smiled smugly.

"You don't even love me, yet you're doing this with me?" the boy exclaimed in shock.

"What an innocent and obedient dog. What does physical attraction have to do with love?"

"Xuanqi, you wouldn't have stopped being..." The boy looked her up and down, horrified.

"Not you my foot! I've only ever dated you!" The girl's expression changed, and she raised her voice to glare at him.

"Oh, that puts my mind at ease. I thought I'd been taken advantage of." The boy breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite pleased with himself.

Lin Xuanqi laughed in exasperation, "Cheng Fei, how come you always have so many messy and chaotic thoughts?"

"Perhaps that's the reason I'm a genius." The boy shook his head and sighed.

Lin Xuanqi stared at him for a second, then hooked her arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Don't hate me, do you hear me? I had no choice before," the girl murmured softly. "From now on, we'll join forces and conquer the world together."

"Xuanqi, it seems you really love me now." The boy hugged her soft, smooth back tightly and whispered in her ear.

"What do you mean?" the girl frowned.
