The girl's pupils contracted, her brows furrowing instantly in bewilderment. She strode up to him, gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and kicked him with all her might. "Stop your filthy, absurd fantasies! You lustful trash!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bathroom door slammed shut.
Cheng Fei stood there, listening to the rushing water coming from inside, shook his head, and sighed, "If you don't want it, then you don't want it."
The boy went to the refrigerator in the kitchen, took a carton of yogurt, slurped it down, sat on the sofa, and took out his phone to open WeChat.
Good evening, my dear Xuanqi.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"No matter how important your work is, please make some time for your husband, thank you."
I'd like to ask you out next weekend, could you please try to schedule a time for us?
The message was sent, and he didn't receive a reply until he finished drinking the yogurt.
"Come pick me up from get off work this Friday."
"I'm busy next weekend, and so are you. I've found you a roadshow opportunity. Present your investment strategy then, and don't embarrass me."
"Huh? A roadshow? Me?"
"Come with me to the Silver Ring Petronas Towers next Saturday night. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance; I'll tell you the details later."
"Uh, okay, love you, wife."
There was no response from them.
Cheng Fei put away his phone, smacked his lips, looked up at the sky through the balcony, and began to ponder, rubbing his chin.
……
After Shen Xi finished showering, she immediately urged Cheng Fei to go inside.
Watching the bathroom door close, the aloof girl with long, dark hair walked expressionlessly to the kitchen refrigerator, took a carton of yogurt, bit the straw, sat down on the sofa, her gaze falling on the coat lying beside her. She casually pulled it over, reached into her pocket, found her phone, entered the password, and started reading intently while drinking her yogurt.
When Cheng Fei returned refreshed, he saw Shen Xi sitting on the sofa looking through his WeChat chat history. She didn't try to hide when she heard footsteps, and kept her eyes slightly narrowed as she stared at the screen.
The boy tossed himself next to her, snatched the yogurt container from her hand, put the straw in his mouth and sucked on it noisily. He turned his head to examine the girl's focused profile and exclaimed, "She's really my henpecked little cutie."
"Being henpecked should be a description of men, I don't understand why it's being applied to me. Does the dictionary for aquatic mammals have a different meaning?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.
"Can't you understand this? When it comes to women, it means that the woman is so controlling that the men who are with her will become henpecked." Cheng Fei said seriously.
"So it was just self-deception and shirking responsibility." The girl stared at her phone without looking up, letting out a disdainful sneer.
"Where is this self-deception and shirking of responsibility? Isn't this the undeniable fact?" the boy asked, puzzled.
"You're making it sound like I'm being aggressive enough. Being henpecked is just a result of your own personality. You asked me to check your phone voluntarily, and you can take it back right now if you want to back out," Shen Xi continued to sneer.
"Really? Then I'll take it." Cheng Fei tentatively pinched the top half of the phone and pulled it back.
The next second, the action failed because the girl holding the bottom half of the phone tightened her grip slightly, turned her head, and stared at him with an expression that was neither happy nor angry, yet inexplicably seemed to be looking down on him. "Cheng Fei, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Shen, you said we can take it back, what do you mean by that?" the boy asked cautiously.
"You can take it back if you want, but the result will be that I'll suspect you've done something that's not only unfair to me." The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint chill emanated from her body, like an iceberg approaching from beneath a calm sea.
Cheng Fei immediately released his phone, spreading his hands innocently, "See? Is this my fault?"
Shen Xi smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and continued to openly browse the contents of her phone.
"Sigh, domestic violence." The boy next to him shook his head and sighed, "Could he have been from Sichuan or Chongqing in his past life...?"
"What did you say?" The girl tilted her head and said coldly.
"No, I didn't say anything." The boy quickly shook his head. When she regained her attention, he had no choice but to continue sucking on the yogurt in his hand, making a loud noise.
"It's all gone inside. What are you smoking?" The girl looked at him with displeasure, as if she had been disturbed.
"Why not take the one you've already drunk?" the boy said matter-of-factly.
"Disgusting Cheng Feiyu!" The girl snatched the item away with an air of absolute authority.
After some time, Shen Xi finally had enough and returned the phone to Cheng Fei.
663. Shen Xi performs corrective treatment on Cheng Fei.
"So, Teacher Shen, are you satisfied? You were loyal to your governor last week too." Cheng Fei said with no small amount of pride.
"That trash who used all his sweet talk to Ye Shuang has the nerve to call himself loyal?" Shen Xi gritted her teeth and kicked him lightly.
"No matter what, it was done with your permission, so please don't hold it against me, okay?" The boy clasped his hands together.
"If you do something like this without permission, Cheng Feiyu can disappear from my sight right now." The girl turned her face away coldly.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," the boy nodded repeatedly.
Shen Xi seemed to have lost interest in the topic and remained seated, ignoring him.
The air in the living room became quiet.
After a moment, the aloof girl with long, dark hair tilted her head slightly, glancing almost imperceptibly at the boy beside her before turning her gaze forward. With a slight frown, she said in a cold voice, "Cheng Fei, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" The absent-minded boy looked up. "I was thinking about how best to present my speech for next week's roadshow. What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"It's alright. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Such an important matter should be planned carefully, so that the man surnamed Lin won't be disappointed in you later." The girl's tone was unreadable. "In that case, hurry back, Cheng Fei."
"Alright, then I'll be going now. Your Highness, please rest well." The young man nodded solemnly, got up and left.
The girl remained motionless, her eyes lowered, her stubborn lips tightly closed.
The boy walked a few steps with his hands in his pockets, turned around and sat back down. He casually pulled the slender body into his arms and looked at the beautiful but cold little face. "Little cutie, if you want me to hug you, just say so. You're being too arrogant."
"Let go, you trash. Nobody here wants to be touched by you." The girl's expression was stern as she glared at him fiercely.
"Teacher Shen, you're too..."
"Cheng Fei, I order you to let go." The girl interrupted him, her cold voice leaving no room for argument.
The boy met her gaze for a second, then released her delicate shoulders in a gesture of surrender. "Seriously? Okay."
Shen Xi, now free, expressionlessly tossed her hair as she stood up, pointing to the chair beside the dining table, "Move this to the balcony."
"Teacher Shen, what kind of game is this?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled, but decided to do as she asked.
"Enough with the nonsense." The girl stepped out onto the balcony first.
The early summer nights are cool, and from the 36th floor, you can easily overlook the brightly lit streets. The air is still filled with the city's hustle and bustle even though night has just fallen.
"Put it here," Shen Xi gestured to the side of the glass railing.
Cheng Fei put down the chair, glanced at the rattan chair that was already on the balcony, and hesitated before speaking.
"Sit down." The girl stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
"OK?"
Immediately afterward, Cheng Fei understood why they had specifically brought the chair over.
Shen Xi walked to the side, looked down at him for a second, and then casually sat down in his lap, adjusting herself to a comfortable position. She hooked her arms around his neck, rested her head on his neck, and remained still.
The rattan chairs on the balcony have armrests, while the chairs at the dining table do not, just like the steel pipe chairs in the club activity room, so that a second person can sit sideways.
"Teacher Shen, so this is what you did all this time? Looks like it felt pretty good to hug you sideways this afternoon?" The boy raised an eyebrow.
"Stop spouting meaningless nonsense." The girl shifted slightly, her tone displeased.
"Yes." The boy shut up immediately, hugged the light and delicate body in his arms with a sense of peace, and sighed comfortably.
"Disgusting." Shen Xi buried her face and took a deep breath. Her body tensed up as if sitting on pins and needles, and it took a while for her to gradually relax.
"These are all beyond our control. Your Highness should be used to it by now, right?" Cheng Fei said without any guilt.
"You disgusting trash, I'll never get used to this kind of thing." The girl punched him on the shoulder, her tone annoyed.
"If I can't even get used to this, what will I do after I get married..." the boy muttered.
"Wishful thinking should wait until it's achievable!"
"If it were possible, would it still be considered wishful thinking?"
"Never mind, Cheng Fei, put me down."
"I was wrong, Teacher Shen. How dare I talk back to you! It's outrageous! I'm sorry!"
"Trash!" Shen Xi suddenly turned her head and pretended to bite his neck. After he stiffened reflexively for a moment, the girl stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "That's enough. Let's begin this week's meeting."
"I see, this is the routine meeting on the balcony." The boy nodded in understanding.
"The first thing." Shen Xi glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Please speak." Cheng Fei quickly sat up straight, even though he was holding the girl in his arms.
The aloof girl paused for a second, then turned her face away. "You can touch the area around the knees this time."
"Huh?" The boy was taken aback.
"Of course, you don't have to touch it if you're not interested." The girl sneered in a second.
"Not at all, I'm just flattered by your sudden generosity." The young man calmly placed his palm on the smooth, white knuckles, feeling the indescribably delicate and tender texture.
The girl was still wearing her pajamas with short sleeves and shorts.
"Please don't misunderstand, it's just a return gift. Anyway, it's not the first or second time. As long as it's not too disgusting, it can barely satisfy Cheng Feiyu's vulgar and ugly desires." The girl narrowed her eyes and stared at the air, her indifferent expression as if she was suppressing her disgust.
"There's even a return gift? Her Highness really does value reciprocity. In that case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send something valuable..."
"Cheng Fei, if you gave me these things just to get a chance to touch me inappropriately, then don't even think about touching me again," Shen Xi interrupted coldly.
"Never mind what I said." The boy's expression hardened.
"Cheng Fei, if you dare to go any further, I'll send you back." The girl suddenly shivered and gritted her teeth.
"I just wanted to see if the body lotion was working, and it really is." The boy casually pulled his hand back to his knuckles.
"Don't make up any lame and ridiculous excuses. This is just how I am." The girl tightened her arms around his neck slightly.
"Yes, yes, but that's not an excuse. Actually, I was planning to check before going to sleep to see if Her Highness was still small and soft..."
"Cheng Fei, let me go if you say another word." The girl's tone remained unchanged.
"Wrong."
"Also, you are not allowed to touch my feet on the bed," the girl continued to command.
"why?"
“This is part of the corrective treatment.” Shen Xi raised her head, her pure, dark eyes glancing at him, a hint of pity from a doctor for a patient on her face.
"Huh?" The boy seemed to understand something, then froze. "So this position wasn't because I liked it, but to prevent me from touching my feet?"
Cheng Fei looked down and could clearly see the girl's small, soft feet dangling in mid-air, close to the floor. At this distance, he suddenly felt a disorienting sense of longing that was out of reach.
"Trash, look up. From now on, you're only allowed to look at my face." Shen Xi quickly pulled her legs back, moving her feet under the chair so they couldn't reach his eyes, and glared at him.
664. Shen Xi has high expectations for Cheng Fei.
Cheng Fei turned his gaze to the exquisite and beautiful, cold face in front of him, every detail of which was incomparably beautiful. For a moment, he felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe. "Teacher Shen, I'm glad you made this request, but don't you think your desire for control is getting stronger and stronger? Now you even want to control what part of you I look at. Is the consciousness of the Star Spirit Queen really gradually awakening?"
"If I really awaken any consciousness, it would be a good thing, because you, the biggest scoundrel on Earth, can probably only be punished by extraterrestrial civilizations!" Shen Xi's sneer was tinged with schadenfreude.
"Teacher Shen, I think your prejudice against feet is a bit too severe. Have you ever considered that I'm interested in you, and of course, your small, soft feet, as the most adorable girl in the multiverse with a flawless appearance, are also..."
"Shut up, you're disgusting." The girl glared at him without any politeness. "Don't think you can distort the facts by using some clumsy words over there. Mental illness is mental illness, and I will definitely find a way to correct you."
"Teacher Shen, although I am really touched by your meticulous care, don't we, as people who may become the world's rulers in the future, think it's a bit strange to sit here and not do anything productive while worrying about this kind of issue?" Cheng Fei said with a hint of sadness.
"First of all, I've already said that I can't let a scoundrel like you rule the world. Secondly, knowing the responsibilities on your shoulders, you should strictly restrain your conduct instead of letting your filthy inner desires grow." Shen Xi stared at him, her stern tone like that of a loyal minister admonishing an emperor in ancient times.
"Teacher Shen, what are you saying? You don't know that it's common knowledge that the upper-class elites in some developed countries do whatever they want in private. There's no need to be so strict about my personal preferences, is there? Anyway, I'll only use your services for whatever I need in the future..."
Shen Xi took a deep breath and raised her voice, "Cheng Fei! I solemnly warn you to stop this unambitious attitude towards life. No one in this world is a reason for you to go along with the corrupt practices. If you think that you can do heinous things just because you have money and power, I will not forgive you."
The boy opened his mouth, then hesitated. "Teacher Shen, it seems like I just like your feet, so why does it feel like I'm some kind of wicked villain? Although I might occasionally do something despicable to complete your tasks, I'm generally a pretty upright person."
