"I can't take it anymore." The girl frowned, covered her mouth, and looked as if she really wanted to throw up. When the elevator doors opened, she quickly walked out.

Cheng Fei followed her, opened the car door for her in advance, and waited for her to get into the passenger seat before walking around to the other side to get in himself.

The silver Panamera drove out of the residential area and back onto the road.

"Cheng Fei, I want to eat ice cream," Shen Xi said abruptly, tilting her chin up.

"Huh? That's not a good idea." The boy looked ahead.

"What's wrong with it?" The girl frowned slightly.

"Isn't it generally said that women should avoid getting cold during their period?"

"But I want to eat it." The girl's tone became more forceful.

"No, children should listen to adults."

"Cheng Fei, I said I want to eat." The girl spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice cold and authoritative.

Cheng Fei smacked his lips and parked the car on the side of the road. "Fine, I can't do anything with you. Just wait."

Shen Xi watched the boy get off the car, put his hands in his pockets, and walk onto the sidewalk. He turned his gaze forward, lost in thought, as if staring into the infinite distance.

Soon, Cheng Fei returned to the car and handed a cup to the girl, saying, "Here, little one."

"I ordered ice cream, what's this?" Shen Xi frowned as she stared at the drink the boy handed her.

"A chocolate milkshake should taste similar to melted ice cream." The boy revealed a smug expression of pride in his cleverness.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Teacher Shen, what's with that expression of 'I'm going to poison you,' with your eyes bulging out of shape? It's so exaggerated."

The girl reluctantly took the milkshake, her voice stubborn, "If it doesn't look like it, go buy another one."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, if you are not satisfied, I will apologize with this humble servant." The young man shook his head and sighed, then started the engine.

The girl glanced at him, her small, pink lips parted slightly, and she took a sip from the straw.

"How is it?" Cheng Fei asked after waiting a few minutes.

"It's so-so." Shen Xi released the straw, her face indifferent.

"Looks satisfied. It's on the Protoss Queen's list of favorite Earth foods." The boy smiled and nodded.

The girl remained silent, sipped half of her milkshake, and quietly placed it in the cup holder on the center console.

"Teacher Shen, what are the plans next?" Cheng Fei glanced at this scene, picked up the bottle and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

The girl showed no reaction.

562. Two people went to eat barbecue.

"Just take me somewhere, and then," Shen Xi said softly.

"And then?" Cheng Fei slowed down the car and glanced at her.

"Then you held me." The girl's voice was barely audible.

The car was quiet for a second, with only the background noise from the engine and tires.

Cheng Fei suddenly smacked his lips.

"Refuse?" Shen Xi raised her chin.

"How could that be? I just suddenly felt I should buy another car," the boy said seriously.

"Isn't this car enough for you, Mr. Lin?" The girl frowned slightly.

“This car is more like a sports car, so the space is too small. If it were an SUV or something, I could park it on the side of the road right now and let you climb into my arms,” the boy gestured.

"Don't talk nonsense if you can't do it." The girl said coldly.

“Your Majesty, please allocate some funds so I can buy a Cullinan and register it in your name tomorrow,” the boy said quickly.

"What is Cullinan?" The girl remained unmoved.

"Don't know? A Rolls-Royce SUV."

"How much will it cost?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"About five or six million?" The boy rubbed his chin.

"No, it's too expensive." The girl said without hesitation.

"What about the Maybach GLS?"

"how much is it?"

Three million.

"As expected, Cheng Feiyu is only adept at things like squandering money." The girl looked disgusted.

"So you agree?"

"I object, it's too expensive. It can only be under 500,000," the girl said coldly.

“Teacher Shen, although it’s cute to be thrifty and hardworking, please don’t do this. We’re making money like we’re earning Happy Beans every day. A hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean. I know you don’t care about luxury, but at least buy a high-performance luxury car for a rainy day, right?” Cheng Fei coaxed patiently.

Shen Xi paused for a second, then said, "One million."

"A Mercedes-Benz GLS, under 1.5 million yuan, equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds," the young man said immediately, as skilled as a car dealership salesman.

The girl turned and glared at him. "Trash, did you already plan this all along?"

"I was just looking at some car magazines when I was bored. I was originally planning to trick Lin Xuanqi into buying me a Lamborghini supercar," the boy smiled.

Shen Xi took a deep breath and lowered her head to pinch the space between her eyebrows.

"So you agree?"

"Where are we going now?" The girl looked up ahead.

Cheng Fei realized she had tacitly agreed, and gripped the steering wheel, saying, "Let's go eat first."

"What do you want to eat?" The girl's face remained expressionless.

"You'll see when we get there. By the way, how about we invite Nana along? It'll be more fun with three people."

"I don't want to see vixens right now."

"Ok."

The Panamera accelerated, its three-section tail fin automatically rose, and it transformed into a silver snake as it traversed Academy City.

Shen Xi glanced at the scenery outside the window that flew by like afterimages and realized that the driver was driving at zero time. She silently turned her head to observe the focused boy next to her, but could not see anything unusual on the surface.

……

Cheng Fei led Shen Xi into a place that was slightly more lively than a typical upscale restaurant.

"Is this self-service?" The girl scanned the area.

"All-you-can-eat barbecue." The boy nodded.

The two were holding hands.

"Why eat something that's clearly not worth it?" Shen Xi asked coldly.

"Where is it not worth it?" Cheng Fei asked, looking at her.

"While buffets may seem like you can eat as much as you want, the businesses have already calculated their profits, and it's probably even less worthwhile than ordering from a menu," the girl said coldly, as if she knew everything.

"My dear Miss Shen, can you act a little more like a young lady? The point of a buffet is to have a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. I just want to cheer you up, so please don't be so tense," the boy said helplessly.

Shen Xi turned her face away and fell silent.

Cheng Fei paid the bill, led her to a seat by the window in the restaurant, and then went to get the ingredients himself, bringing back several large plates of Wagyu beef slices, lobster and crab legs, and a vegetable platter.

"Here, your favorite." The boy placed several cans of Want Want milk in front of the girl.

Shen Xi glanced at him and glared at him, "It's enough that you like to drink it yourself but always try to pin it on me."

"Who said I like to drink? I want an adult's drink." The boy grabbed himself a cocktail.

The girl narrowed her eyes and gave a heavy, cold laugh. "Yes, you don't have to drink this boring beverage if you don't like it."

"Just kidding, I love Want Want Milk the most." Cheng Fei shivered, his expression changed, and he quickly took a big gulp of his cocktail. Before the girl could give him a murderous look, he opened a can of Want Want Milk and poured it into the cocktail. Then he took another sip and made a comfortable sound.

Shen Xi frowned deeply, as if she were witnessing something incomprehensible happening before her eyes.

"Teacher Shen, are you happy now?" The boy opened his arms.

"What nonsense are you going to spout now?" The girl stared at him, her face full of confusion.

"No matter what happens, I'll be here for you like this, so don't look like you've been abandoned by the whole world." Cheng Fei placed the Wagyu beef slices on the grill, the fatty meat sizzling reassuringly under the high temperature. "You and Nana are really alike sometimes, you both like to squat on the ground when you're sad, looking so pitiful. I just can't do anything with you two."

"Don't compare me to that vixen," Shen Xi said coldly.

"Okay." The boy clasped his hands together perfunctorily. "Now I believe what you said. Your mother doesn't seem to have committed suicide."

"Why?" The girl was stunned.

"I have a feeling that she was celebrating your birthday the day before, right? She seemed quite happy. How could she commit suicide for no reason? That video is too suspicious." Cheng Fei shrugged.

"You think the video is fake?" Shen Xi asked the boy.

"Well, how should I put it?" Cheng Fei picked up a slice of Wagyu beef that was almost cooked, giving one to the girl and one to himself. "There was a locked-room murder case on a cruise ship before. The captain was killed in the captain's cabin, but the surveillance cameras at the entrances and exits couldn't even see a figure."

"Why?" The girl's eyes narrowed.

"In hindsight, it was most likely Avalanche's doing. They hacked into the ship's network, blocked external communications, and released lifeboats. If their technology is advanced enough, it would be easy for them to forge convincing surveillance videos, right?" The boy shrugged.

“But the video on the phone is from ten years ago, and what does it have to do with an avalanche…” Shen Xi frowned.

“Let’s assume the avalanche existed ten years ago,” Cheng Fei said abruptly.

The girl suddenly looked at him, her eyes widening slightly, her deep, dark pupils trembling. "You think this is related to the avalanche?"

"It's just a casual remark, after all, I recently experienced something quite bizarre." Cheng Fei shook his head and placed the lobster, which had been split in half, onto the baking tray. "No matter what, just find a way to investigate. Relax."

Shen Xi lowered her head, her expression solemn, her small hands clenched tightly.

Suddenly, a piece of grilled meat with an enticing aroma was placed to her lips. She looked up at the boy who was watching her, her stubborn, pink lips tightly closed.

"Ah~ Open your mouth. I told you to relax, so why do I feel like I'm about to feed you poison?" The boy's smiling gaze was full of affection.

563. Two people planning a holiday date

Shen Xi stared at the roasted meat in front of her for a second, her fair and delicate nostrils twitched as she sniffed, before tentatively opening her mouth slightly to let the boy in front of her put the food in.

"Small animals are really cautious when they eat." Cheng Fei observed the delicate and pretty little face as it chewed with great interest.

The girl glared at him with a harmless look of disgust.

"Teacher Shen, so that's why you don't like birthday presents?" The boy thought for a moment.

The girl paused, then turned her face away. "I don't want to talk about this."

“That’s true, there’s nothing much to talk about.” Cheng Fei nodded, distributing the roasted meat to himself and the girl. “So, what are Her Majesty’s plans for the May Day holiday?”

"What are your plans?" The girl stared at him, her expression unreadable.

"No need to get entangled with Lin Xuanqi, then of course I should seize the time to study and research." The boy said matter-of-factly, but noticing the girl's displeasure, he quickly added, "Of course, I should also find time to go on dates with my little cutie."

"Instead of wasting time dating, let's get down to business," Shen Xi sneered.

"What important matter is it?"

"Investigate Ding Sheng." The girl raised her chin.

"What leads do you have?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

“Ding Sheng’s home is in Jiangcheng, less than 500 kilometers from Academy City. If you take advantage of the holiday to go there, you might find something.” Shen Xi said expressionlessly.

"So it was to go on a date with me out of town," the boy muttered.
