The girl's gaze swept around in a flustered manner.

The tall, handsome young man stood not far away, his hands in his pockets, leaving her with only his unmoved back view.

Lin Xuanqi suddenly pulled the gun away from her chest, pressed it against her head, gritted her teeth, and pulled the trigger.

Her pupils contracted, and she felt as if she had been hit by a bullet, a sharp pain shooting through her chest...

Like a plastic item being blown off a house's windowsill by a strong wind, a loud clanging sound echoed outside the window late at night.

Ye Shuang suddenly opened her eyes, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, breathing heavily, her heart pounding as if it would escape her chest.

She blinked blankly, realizing that she had unconsciously covered her chest with her hands, and could vaguely sense the lingering phantom pain.

As she had done countless times before, the girl reached into her collar and touched it to make sure there was only intact, delicate skin there, not a bloody hole.

The girl rolled over and lay on her side. Once the lingering fear and her breathing had calmed down, she reached for her phone on the pillow.

In the darkness, the faint light from the screen illuminated the girl's beautiful face, which still bore traces of tears.

A WeChat message popped up.

"Shuangshuang, once you've calmed down, you can always reach out to me if you want to chat."

"I know you're nervous being caught in the middle, but don't be afraid, I can help you, trust me, okay?"

The girl sniffed, remained silent for a long time, and then edited the message.

"Nana"

"I'm sorry for the daytime."

……

The next day.

Cheng Fei opened his eyes precisely at 6:30.

Her slender body nestled in the boy's arms, motionless, her arms wrapped around his neck, her face buried deep in her thick hair, as if she were treating him as a pillow or something similar.

The unguarded girl exuded a faint fragrance from her hair, and her soft, gentle demeanor was completely different from her usual self, like a little animal that had relaxed and curled up in its den.

The boy slowly moved his hands, grasped the small, delicate thing hidden deep inside the blanket, sighed silently, and closed his eyes.

"Garbage, disgusting, beyond redemption..."

After a long while, Shen Xi spoke in a faint voice, seemingly displeased.

"Good morning, Teacher Shen. By the way, why did you start cursing as soon as you woke up?" Cheng Fei said casually.

"You know exactly where you're touching, and you told me last night that you were only allowed to touch me before I fell asleep. You're pushing your luck again." The girl bit her lip and looked up at him, her soft tone and expression completely devoid of threat because she had just woken up.

"Shen Xi, you're being too unfair! Why are you so cute from head to toe?" the boy exclaimed.

"Shut up, let go, or I'm really going to throw up." The girl exuded a palpable disgust.

"Your Highness, just ten more minutes. This is my only request in this life," the boy said earnestly.

"I never allowed you to touch me in the morning from the beginning, yet you still have the audacity to make such a request. You greedy piece of trash, I really can't imagine what would happen if I were to actually be with you in the future." The girl took a deep breath, trembling as if she felt a chill.

"It will be used for all sorts of purposes, Your Highness, please be prepared."

"Enough, Cheng Fei, you're disgusting." The girl punched him hard.

The boy shut his mouth, feeling the tempting aroma of rice cake in his palm.

Shen Xi kept her face buried and did not move, her body trembling from time to time.

A moment later, the girl's sharp voice rang out, "Cheng Fei, it's been 660 seconds already. Don't you know when to stop? Don't even think about it next time."

"Okay." The boy let go in a second, then became serious. "Do you want to keep sleeping, or should I go buy breakfast?"

The girl paused for a second, then rolled off him to the side against the wall, burying half her face in the blanket, and said in a muffled voice, "Red bean buns, and eight-treasure porridge with sugar."

"Yes, Your Highness." The young man sighed softly with a doting tone, patted her back, and lifted the blanket to cover her up.

The girl lay on her side in the blanket, her small face expressionless, her pure, dark eyes watching the boy leave the room. When the door closed, she slowly moved to the spot where the boy had slept all night and closed her eyes.

When Cheng Fei returned with breakfast, Shen Xi asked the boy to leave the room so she could change her clothes.

Afterwards, the expressionless, aloof girl went to the bathroom, used Cheng Fei's towel and spare toothbrush to wash up, then walked to the living room with the same expressionless face, sat down, picked up the small red bean bun from the bag, looked at it as always, then sniffed it, before opening her stubborn pink lips, taking a bite, her fair and delicate cheeks bulging as she chewed.

Then, the girl's gaze shifted, and she noticed that the boy next to her was eating fried dough sticks while staring at his phone without looking up. A hint of displeasure flashed across her delicate and pretty face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she kicked him under the table with her small feet in disposable slippers.

"Teacher Shen, what's wrong?" The boy quickly looked up.

"Who are you chatting with?" The girl raised her chin and glanced at the WeChat interface on his phone.

"I told the car dealership salesman to get things arranged quickly so we can pick up the car soon, complete the paperwork, and then set off." The boy waved the screen.

“Cheng Feiyu is more enthusiastic than anyone else when it comes to squandering money,” Shen Xi sneered.

"Don't mention it, Teacher Shen. I'm quite enthusiastic about you too." The boy shook his head. "By the way, speaking of squandering money, I'm preparing to expand Xiao Yi's computing power. This will really cost a lot. If Lin Xuanqi asks about it, I'll blame it on you. Remember to cooperate."

"How much will it cost?" Shen Xi asked suspiciously.

"A small goal," the young man said casually, taking a sip of soy milk.

"I don't understand." The girl stared at him.

"Sigh, that's only one hundred million." The boy smacked his lips.

"You want so many? Can't you just rent them?" The girl frowned.

"Xiao Yi's classmate is a confidential student, so it's better to use your own equipment."

The girl paused for a second, then lowered her eyes and said, "I understand."

After they finished eating, the two left the rented room.

Cheng Fei accompanied Shen Xi back to get her documents, and this time the girl did not stop the boy from going upstairs.

As they opened the door and went inside, they were met by Nagasaki Asuna, who was covering her mouth and yawning, looking sleepy.

"Huh? Good morning, you two." The girl tilted her head and rubbed her eyes.

"Good morning, Nana." Cheng Fei nodded.

Shen Xi acted as if she couldn't see or hear her, and went straight to the bedroom.

Asuna Nagasaki stood there with her hands behind her back. When the door closed, she rushed into the boy's arms without hesitation, hugged his neck, and stood on tiptoe.

A sweet fragrance wafted over, and the boy teased her for a while before pushing the soft, melting girl away and pinching her sweet cheek. "Silly girl, we're leaving soon, just bear with it and wait for me to come back."

Nagasaki Asuna bit her lip lightly, blinking her clear, bright eyes, "Cheng Fei, can't you bring Nana along?"

570. Shen Xi agreed.

"You want to go?" Cheng Fei was stunned.

“Of course, cats always want to stay with their owners.” Nagasaki Asuna took the boy’s hand and covered it with her face, her eyes slightly narrowed as she watched him rub against her. “Besides, it’s finally a holiday, and if a cat is left alone at home, it’s easy for it to be in danger and die suddenly.”

"Die my foot!" The boy pinched her cheek in annoyance, looked at the obedient girl in front of him, and thought for a moment, "I'll try to find a reason. If she agrees, then it's fine. If she doesn't agree, you can stay here obediently. Don't be sad. Wait for me to come back and keep you company. Do you understand?"

"Okay~" the girl replied sweetly with a happy smile.

A moment later, Shen Xi, carrying a bag, walked out of the bedroom and saw Cheng Fei standing there nonchalantly.

Asuna Nagasaki stood to the side with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

"Let's go." The aloof girl raised her chin, her face indifferent, and walked straight towards the entrance.

"Teacher Shen, wait a minute." Cheng Fei took her small hand and said seriously, "I have a suggestion I would like to ask for your approval."

"What suggestion?" The girl's gaze swept over her small hand that was being held, her delicate brows furrowing slightly in suspicion.

"How about we bring Nana along on this mission?"

"Rejected." The girl replied without hesitation.

"Uh, at least let me hear the reason first? Of course, if Your Highness is hoping to take this opportunity to have a private date with me and doesn't want her to come along, then it's fine to refuse directly." Cheng Fei spoke very quickly.

Shen Xi met his gaze, her eyes narrowing slightly, her face turning displeased. She took a deep breath. "What reason?"

“Our investigation of Ding Sheng’s house will likely involve trespassing or something similar. Nana’s mind-reading and radar skills are perfect for this kind of thing. Actually, I really hoped she would be there on the cruise ship. This is for the sake of the mission. I hope Your Majesty will consider it.” The young man bowed his head sincerely.

Shen Xi glanced at Nagasaki Asuna's face beside her and sneered, "That sounds nice, but don't think I can't guess the real reason is that this vixen was bewitching you again."

“Teacher Shen, it is true that Nana wanted to go, but I also think it would be useful to bring her along, wouldn’t I?” The boy shrugged. “Of course, if you really mind, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. I’ve already told her that if she doesn’t agree, she should just stay put.”

Shen Xi frowned and turned her face away, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

"Um, Shen Xi, if you want to go on a date with Cheng Fei, I definitely won't bother you. Just do whatever you want and pretend I don't exist," Nagasaki Asuna said softly, tilting her head.

"Ha, that vixen talks a good game, but who knows how many disgusting little tricks she'll pull when I'm not looking?" Shen Xi said with disgust.

"Teacher Shen, I will keep her in check," Cheng Fei said righteously.

"I'm not stupid enough to ask the rice in the granary to guard against rats," Shen Xi scoffed.

"Uh, so you still disagree?" The boy said with a hint of helplessness.

"But I have to admit, a fox spirit's abilities are very suitable for doing shady things." The girl pinched her brow, sighed softly, and turned to look at Nagasaki Asuna. "Fox spirit, you can't make any unnecessary moves except when I give you permission. If you can do that, I'll reluctantly agree to let you go."

"Okay, Ms. Shen. Please wait a moment while I change my clothes?" Nagasaki Asuna replied in a drawn-out tone and quickly went back to her bedroom.

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xi stepped forward, kicked him coldly, and glared at him fiercely, "You fickle Cheng Feiyu, congratulations on not having to hold my hand or hug me for a while."

"Not at all, little cutie, she won't mind." The boy was surprised.

"It's one thing to make advances in private, but I don't want to do those things in front of a vixen." Shen Xi snorted and turned her face away.

"There's no need, really no need. Just treat her like a cat." The boy felt sweat on his forehead.

"Enough with the shameless nonsense, just shut up." The girl gritted her teeth and kicked him again.

After some time, Nagasaki Asuna, who had finished preparing, appeared before the two of them.

The girl wore a neat white dress with a belt cinching her slender waist, revealing her full curves. The skirt was short, and she wore a sky-blue knitted cardigan over it, exuding her signature gentle and healing aura.

"Vixen." Shen Xi, still wearing the same khaki umbrella skirt from yesterday, glanced at her with disdain.

"Then let's set off, you two." Cheng Fei coughed lightly.

So the three of them took a taxi to the 4S store, where Cheng Fei paid 1.3 million yuan in one lump sum to buy a black Mercedes-Benz GLS under Shen Xi's name.

In theory, putting it under the company's name could have many benefits, but Cheng Fei felt it was better to keep Lin Xuanqi from finding out.

"Mr. Cheng, do you need us to prepare a car delivery ceremony for you?" The salesman in a suit and tie spoke with great respect to the young man who was so generous with money.

"No need, I'm in a hurry." The boy, with his hands in his pockets, glanced at the AMG production sports car on display not far away. He remembered seeing it in a magazine for only one million, shook his head, and immediately lost interest.

Now it seems only supercars can attract him.

The boy casually mentioned that he had only gone downstairs to buy a new pot because his pot at home had burned out, which made the salesperson realize something was amiss, and they quickly expedited the processing of the paperwork.

Soon, the car and keys were handed to Cheng Fei in a simple manner.

"Huh? What a big car." Nagasaki Asuna stood by the car door, blinking her curious eyes. She moved her small hand from above her head and found that the black SUV in front of her was taller than her even when she stood on tiptoe.

“After all, it’s a full-size car.” Cheng Fei opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat, realizing that Lin Xuanqi was right; the Panamera was really hard to sit in.

Amidst the scornful gazes of the sales staff, two beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm, boarded the car one on each side. The SUV, taller than most family cars, slowly drove out of the gate and disappeared at the end of the road.

"Gentlemen, if all goes well, we should arrive before dark." Cheng Fei gripped the steering wheel and glanced at the navigation.

"Cheng Fei, you've worked hard~" Nagasaki Asuna's voice was sweet.

Shen Xi, sitting next to him, let out a cold laugh that was hard to decipher.

Leaving Academy City in his private car was easy. After passing through the gate that also served as a highway tollbooth and entering the main road, Cheng Fei unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The car became quiet; as a luxury car that emphasizes comfort, the GLS's engine was also quieter than the Panamera's.

"Well, there's something I wanted to tell you both," Nagasaki Asuna said suddenly, pursing her lips.

Shen Xi's slender body shrank back in the chair, as if she couldn't hear her.

"Huh?" Cheng Fei glanced at the rearview mirror.

"I went to see Ye Shuang yesterday." Nagasaki Asuna lowered her head, her fingers twisting together.
