"Didn't I already say that it means the most beloved person of the opposite sex? Teacher Shen, do you have hyperthymesia and you have to ask again? You just want me to repeat myself, don't you?" the boy asked in surprise.
The girl paused for a second, then said coldly, "Cheng Fei, I advise you to stop trying to be clever like that vixen and think carefully about why she's so annoying."
"Understood. I won't expose Her Highness's thoughts next time." The boy remained silent.
"I was just remarking, don't think I'm really that bored!" the girl raised her voice.
"Yes, I understand." The boy nodded quickly.
"That's enough, let's leave this topic at that, next one." The girl seemed displeased.
"Okay, then I'd like to ask a question, Shen Xi. Please answer honestly this time." The young man said casually.
"What?" The girl lowered her face, her eyes narrowed, and she became wary.
"You kept that note so carefully, and you've been mentioning it intentionally or unintentionally lately. Are you really looking forward to the day when Lin Xuanqi and I break up? After all, it did give you hope."
After he finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Cheng Fei felt that the girl in his arms not only didn't speak, but even her breathing seemed to have stopped, and she didn't move at all.
"Teacher Shen, are you asleep?"
"..."
"If you really don't want to answer, you can tell me yes or no."
"..."
"Teacher Shen, I've told you I love you dozens, even hundreds of times. Can't you just be honest with me this once?"
"Get this straight, I've always been frank," the girl said in a muffled voice.
"That's true, but I want to hear your honest opinion on this matter, since it's one of the most important things between us, and I want to know your thoughts."
The air was quiet for a few more seconds.
"...No comment." The girl uttered four words without any emotion.
"If you don't have expectations, you'll definitely deny it directly. I understand," the boy said in a comfortable voice.
The girl remained silent.
"Let me ask you another question. If I were to break ties with Lin Xuanqi right now, and she went crazy and wanted revenge, you would actually protect me, right?"
"So what do you want?" The girl lowered her eyes and sneered.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I didn't mean to break things off with her right now, I'm sorry."
"Heh, there's nothing to apologize for, it's an answer I didn't expect at all."
“Shen Xi, I just think rationally there’s no need to break ties with her right now. Even if you protect me, you’ll definitely be in a lot of trouble. Anyway, the plan to kill her and Madam Lin and let you inherit the Lin family business is no longer feasible. It’s better to spend some more time patiently accumulating strength. You can understand that, right?”
"Ha, so what if you don't understand?"
"This little cutie is really resentful." The young man gently stroked the back of the girl's head.
"Cheng Fei, what exactly are you trying to say?" The girl's tone became impatient.
"It's nothing, I just saw that note and realized you were looking forward to it more than I thought."
"I never talked about expectations." The girl twisted her body forcefully.
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess didn’t mention it.” The boy hugged her tightly.
"Enough! If it's just meaningless nonsense, shut up. Anyway, all you've said is that the time isn't right now, and who knows when it will be? Maybe we'll never see that opportunity again!" The girl suddenly gritted her teeth and distanced herself from him, her voice cold and sarcastic.
"Shen Xi, you've misunderstood. This time, I want to formally agree on a time to break up with you." The boy pulled the girl back into his arms.
"What did you say?" The girl stopped struggling, her eyes narrowing.
621. Shen Xi will not mistreat Cheng Fei.
"I want to agree on a time for you to break up with Lin Xuanqi," Cheng Fei said softly, as if nothing had happened.
After he finished speaking, the room was silent for a second.
The aloof girl suddenly broke free from his embrace, moved to kneel directly above him, and supported herself on either side of his pillow, looking down at him. Her deep, dark eyes reflected the faint light in the night, and her waist-length black hair fell down, with countless strands landing on his neck, making him feel a little itchy.
"When?" The girl met his gaze. Her delicate and beautiful face remained expressionless as always, with a hint of urgency hidden in the quietly flowing night.
"Shen Xi, it seems you're really looking forward to it." Cheng Fei became a little smug.
"When?" The girl frowned slightly, her voice tinged with impatience.
“If you frankly admit that you expect me and Lin Xuanqi to break up, I’ll tell you.” The boy said with great interest.
"Tell me first!" the girl said, her tone becoming more forceful.
"Teacher Shen, if you're so eager to know, there's nothing wrong with frankly admitting that you're looking forward to it, right? It's all so obvious anyway."
"Cheng Feiyu, stop rambling on and on! Tell me now, when do you plan to break up with that Lin guy?" The girl frowned, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"The Celestial Queen is truly domineering, but unfortunately, I have a mouth to say it." The young man looked completely unconcerned.
"Trash! What do you want?" the girl glared at him in the darkness.
"Shen Xi, is it really that hard to admit it frankly? You're clearly looking forward to it, so why won't you say it?" The boy looked into her eyes.
"There's nothing to talk about about trivial matters." The girl frowned and looked away.
“I think it’s very important. I just want to hear you say it once. You won’t even grant me a single word? Shen Xi.” The boy reached out and brushed aside the girl’s loose hair.
The girl's eyes flickered for a moment, then she took a deep breath, turned her gaze back, and asked coldly, "What do you want me to say?"
"Just say you're really looking forward to me and Lin Xuanqi breaking up." The boy looked up at her face, like an audience member anticipating a good show on stage.
"I know, you hopeless trash!" Shen Xi glared at him fiercely, took another deep breath, bit her lip and turned her face away. Her small hands, which were propped up on the pillow, clenched tightly. After a long while, her tightly closed pink and stubborn lips slowly opened and closed, squeezing out cold words from her throat, "I'm looking forward to... your breakup with that Lin guy."
"That feels better," the young man sighed.
"If you're satisfied, then tell me quickly when you plan to break up. If you're lying to me again, I will never forgive you." The girl stared at him intently, gritting her teeth.
"Shen Xi, once the robot prototype is completed, I will break up with Lin Xuanqi. At that time, I will find new investors to cooperate with and invest in Real Technology to counter Lin Xuanqi. That way, she won't dare to make any rash moves." Cheng Fei looked at the girl and said frankly.
"Are you sure?" The girl blinked in the darkness, her face still expressionless.
"I've called you by your name, I won't lie to you, my little darling." The boy reached out and gently stroked her head.
The girl remained motionless, her eyes lowered. "That means there are still six months left."
"Yeah, pretty much. The new motor I ordered from Rongchuan Electromechanical is almost finished. The only big problems left are the computing unit, sensors, and batteries. It won't be long." Cheng Fei nodded.
As night fell, the atmosphere in the room became tranquil, and even the noise from vehicles on the road seemed particularly muffled at the height of the thirty-sixth floor.
Shen Xi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly moved, relaxing the arms that were supporting her body. She slowly lay down, looping her arms around the back of the boy's neck, resting her head on his shoulder, and curling her slender and delicate body up on top of him, using him as a pillow to bind him. Finally, she moved a little, so that the two of them were tightly pressed together, their body heat mingling together.
"Teacher Shen?" The boy tentatively put his arm around her slender waist.
"This is a reward," the girl whispered in his ear, her face buried in her hands.
"I see." The young man understood and hugged the slender body in his arms tighter.
Shen Xi trembled as if sitting on pins and needles, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Trash, if you like it, it's only for tonight. You can touch below the knees, and a little higher... is barely acceptable, provided it's not too disgusting."
The boy, inhaling the faint fragrance of the thick hair in his arms, was taken aback. "Little cutie, you're too generous?"
"Cheng Fei, get this straight, as long as you're sincere, I'll never treat you unfairly." The girl whispered in his ear, her voice icy, "But if it turns out you're lying to me in the future, then die."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness." After saying that, the young man sighed softly and began to focus on feeling the pair of slender and long works of art that he had dreamed of. Every contour and detail was pure and beautiful beyond compare, containing a magic that made people love it. Even if he could only play with it carefully, he couldn't stop.
Where Cheng Fei couldn't see, Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and gently bit her lip, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, remaining motionless and letting him do as he pleased.
That night, spent by the young boy and girl, was filled with a more tender and romantic feeling than ever before.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
A petite girl walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas, her shoulder-length hair still damp.
"Zhou Han, why are you staying up so late again? Go to bed early." The woman's unhurried voice came from the study with the lights on.
"Okay, okay, Mom, you should go to bed early too!" The girl replied in a cheerful tone, then slumped down in an instant, staggered back to her bedroom, threw herself onto the bed, and stared blankly into her round eyes. "I'm exhausted..."
She lay there for a few minutes, then struggled to pick up her phone and dial her best friend's number. The call was answered quickly.
"Ruan Jingyi, you're still awake, aren't you?"
"Ah."
I'd like to have a chat with you.
"Mmm." Just from the voice, you could imagine the expressionless face of the quiet girl on the other end.
"My mind is so confused right now. Suddenly there are aliens, and Cheng Fei likes Shen Xi and Asuna. It's all so strange. I feel like my head is going to explode." Zhou Han turned over and stared at the ceiling. For the first time in sixteen years, she felt disillusioned with life.
"Ah."
"What do you think of Asuna? I didn't expect her to be this kind of person, but strangely enough, I still don't think she's a bad person."
"Hmm." There was a pause on the other end. "I also think she's not a bad person."
"Right, right? She's a really nice person, not at all pretentious, but her thinking is a bit... too open. Maybe all Japanese girls are like that?" Zhou Han started to attribute the problem to cultural differences, completely forgetting the aloof girl who tacitly approved of everything.
"Ah."
"But this is pretty good, isn't it? Cheng Fei is actually going to pay us a salary, even though we're just playing games. Although this game is a bit... uh, ugh... no, I can't say that." Zhou Han's expression changed, and she covered her mouth.
"Ah."
"But if this continues, I feel my grades are going to drop again. What if my mother scolds me?" Zhou Han sighed softly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone said, "Find Cheng Fei to teach you."
Zhou Han's eyes lit up. "That makes sense! Ruan Jingyi, you're a genius!"
Realizing she would have ample reason to spend time with a certain boy after class, the petite girl's round eyes were filled with renewed enthusiasm.
……
622. Where the GLS is better than the Panamera
The next day.
The cool-looking girl opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes. After a brief moment of confusion, she snuggled her head into the arms of the boy beside her, closed her eyes slightly, and let the cool morning light shine through the gaps in her hair onto her delicate and beautiful profile.
"Good morning, my little darling," the boy said softly, with a doting tone.
"Cheng Fei, this only applies to last night. I don't like people who are two-faced." The girl kept her face down, with one leg draped over the boy's side.
"Okay, you really are controlling, but it's all your fault for being too unfair." The boy moved his hand away and instead hugged the girl tightly.
"Here comes the shameless victim-blaming rhetoric again." The girl remained motionless.
"The thought that you finally have this opportunity and don't know when the next one will come makes it hard to control yourself. Isn't that your fault?"
"Shut up. I've said it before: as long as you're sincere, even if there's a one in a billion chance we'll unfortunately get married, I will fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a wife. There's no way I won't grant you that wish."
"I understand, so when the time comes, even if I want you to use your tiny, soft little feet..."
"That won't do," the girl interrupted coldly.
"why?"
"After you talk about such a shameful and filthy fetish, all I will do is try to correct you."
"Can't you indulge me sometimes?"
"Cheng Fei, I really can't understand why you're like this. Isn't my level enough to satisfy you in a normal way?" The girl buried her face so her expression couldn't be seen, but from her tone, one could imagine the look of disgust and confusion on her face.
"Shen Xi, as expected, you still don't understand this aspect. It's because you're very beautiful that people have all sorts of thoughts about you. This is perfectly understandable. Please seriously change your mindset in this regard and become a qualified wife in the future."
The girl fell silent, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and uttered four words: "Incurable."
The room was quiet for a moment.
