"Trash, so what else do you have to say for yourself?" Shen Xi kicked him, her teeth clenched, a hint of despair hidden deep in her pure blue eyes.

"Why don't we finish the project first? Maybe only Master Ye's ability can change the flow?" the boy said again.

"There's no need to pretend to use your abilities to create a smokescreen." The girl sneered, completely lacking her usual condescending demeanor, revealing a forced air about her.

"Why not give it a try anyway?" the boy said seriously.

The girl looked away, her eyes flickering, and nodded tentatively. "Then you can use your ability now. Tell me when you start, and I'll check your data usage."

"Okay, I'll begin then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Fei activated Time Zero at fifty times slow speed, freezing the world around him.

To give Shen Xi enough time to examine him, the boy remained calm and leisurely examined that delicate and beautiful face.

It must be admitted that the stand-in perfectly inherited the original's appearance. From the pure eyes to the stubborn lips, every detail is as flawless as a work of art, and the appearance can be described as absolutely beautiful.

Unlike her usual expressionless or indifferent demeanor, a closer look reveals a deep sense of unease and fear hidden between the girl's brows, like a little girl suddenly discovering that her beloved teddy bear is actually a terrifying monster that opens its bloody maw at midnight, unable to suppress her fear yet trying to pretend she didn't notice.

Cheng Fei pondered for a while in the state of Time Zero. Although he still didn't quite understand why she would doubt that he was one of the Avalanche people, he could vaguely understand her feelings.

After silently counting to six hundred seconds, the boy finally snapped out of his time-zero state and looked at the girl in front of him with a doting expression. "Little cutie, how are you?"

Shen Xi was probably still checking in reality. After a moment of silence, she stared at him with a complicated expression. "The traffic has also surged dozens of times. What else do you have to say?"

"What are you saying?" the boy asked, feigning confusion.

"So you're the one who caused the avalanche." The girl took a deep breath, her voice muffled.

"Realizing that I've been lying to you all along, you're so sad you even want to cry? Teacher Shen, I knew you'd always considered me the most important person in your life." Cheng Fei observed her face, catching a barely perceptible hint of sadness, and felt a surge of pride.

The girl was silent for a moment, then turned her face away, gritted her teeth, and said coldly, "Shut up, I've had enough. Now disappear from my sight."

Her response was a hand gently stroking her head.

Cheng Fei sighed helplessly, looked at her and said softly, "Shen Xi, please stop being so suspicious of me in the future. Don't overthink things at the slightest thing. You actually imagined that I was someone from Avalanche. Your little brain has a bit too much imagination."

"What do you mean?" The girl's pupils contracted as she looked up at the boy.

"What I mean is, of course I'm not from Avalanche. I'm your governor and future husband, and we'll always be one. Thank you. Don't doubt me over there. Even small animals have their limits when they're wary." The boy shook his head.

"I'll let the clichéd rhetoric go; the evidence is right in front of you this time, and you can't possibly deny your involvement with the avalanche." The girl turned her face away and gave a heavy, cold laugh.

"You!" Cheng Fei was stunned, staring at her speechless.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean?'" The girl looked up at him defiantly, her stubborn pink lips tightly pressed together.

"Shen Xi, you're finished." The boy gritted his teeth and pulled her into his arms fiercely.

As a result, a green warning box immediately popped up saying "Inappropriate game content".

"What do you want?" The girl raised her chin, her sneer tinged with disdain.

"You wait." Cheng Fei immediately quit the game and disappeared from the spot.

The silver-haired girl sat alone on the bench, pondered for a moment, and then logged out of the game.

……

Cheng Fei opened his eyes on the sofa, and Shen Xi followed suit, taking off her helmet.

"Teacher Shen, please come here for a moment." The boy grabbed the girl's small hand and pulled her up with an air of unquestionable authority.

"Let me go! What else do you want?" The girl glared at him fiercely.

"Let's go to the bedroom and have a good talk," Cheng Fei said, pulling her along.

"No, let go, I told you to let go!" The girl tried hard to break free of the restraints, but her frail body was no match for them.

Ye Shuang was chatting with Nagasaki Asuna in the kitchen when they heard the noise and turned around at the same time.

"Um, what are you two up to this time?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, looking suspicious, as she tasted the soup with a small plate.

"I have something to say to her, so dinner is yours, Nana." Cheng Fei said seriously, then continued to drag the slender, aloof girl toward the bedroom, like a villain kidnapping a good girl.

"Cheng Fei, let go, don't force me to call the police!"

"That's an exaggeration, Teacher Shen. It's just a matter of correcting your little brain."

Their conversation abruptly ended with the slamming of the door shut.

Ye Shuang hesitated as she watched this scene. "Nana, are we just going to ignore it?"

"It's alright." Nagasaki Asuna shook her head casually and took a sip of the soup in her dish.

Ye Shuang pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly, "Are they... always like this?"

"Usually it's Shen Xi kicking Cheng Fei around, maybe it's a change of pace today, Shuangshuang, don't mind it." Nagasaki Asuna smiled meaningfully.

"Change your taste..." Ye Shuang looked at her, a look of utter horror on her face.

……

On the other side, the boy pulled Shen Xi into the bedroom and unceremoniously pulled her into his arms.

"Cheng Fei, what are you doing?!" The girl trembled violently as if she were cold, punching and kicking him, but she was no threat at all.

"Shen Xi, I think we need to have a serious talk about the issue of trust between us." The boy hugged her tightly.

"How dare you talk about trust now that you've treated me like this? If you don't let go, I'm really going to call the police!" The girl was forced to bury her face and grit her teeth.

"This is a very important issue, so I'm requesting to use the regular meeting compensation mechanism. It'll be convenient to use the regular meeting that wasn't held last week. Please approve it." The boy held her small shoulder, speaking in a serious tone.

"Trash! Since you're part of Avalanche, it just means you've been approaching me with a purpose from the beginning. What right do you have to talk to me about the meeting now?" The girl kicked him hard, then looked up, her face icy cold.

"Calm down, Shen Xi. Please use your clever little brain to think this through. If the Stand compatibility ability proves that I am related to Avalanche, then wouldn't Master Ye also be a member of Avalanche? You didn't know me before, but you and Master Ye have known each other since elementary school. Does that mean that Avalanche has been setting up a scheme around you since then?" Cheng Fei looked into her eyes.

The girl frowned, pondered for a second, then gritted her teeth and glared at him, "Isn't that possible?!"

679. Shen Xi's imagination is far-fetched.

“Teacher Shen, there’s a limit to paranoia and conspiracy theories. Why don’t you suspect that Avalanche has already obtained Protoss technology and that the whole world was created by Avalanche to deceive you?” Cheng Fei said helplessly, hesitating to speak.

"It's not impossible," Shen Xi said softly, turning her face away and narrowing her eyes.

"Little cutie, do you think it's reasonable for you to be so stubborn?" The boy chuckled, a little annoyed.

"Of course that makes sense. Even putting aside today's incident, your behavior has always been suspicious. If you explain it by saying you're part of Avalanche, all the problems are solved!" The girl raised her voice and glared at him.

"Is that so?" Cheng Fei was surprised. He clicked his tongue, then simply pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat her down, holding her in his arms. Looking at her tense little face, he softened his tone, "Then tell me, how did you solve it so easily?"

"Let me go first if you want to hear it!" The girl gritted her teeth.

“No, I already applied to have a make-up meeting today, so according to the agreement, this is fine.” The boy said without hesitation, and put his arm around her shoulder, letting her snuggle completely into his arms.

"I didn't say I agreed!"

"This time, you can't disagree."

"Why should I?!" The girl was even more furious.

"Because you're my little darling, and your little brain has gone awry, I'm going to correct you." The boy held the girl tightly in his arms, feeling the fragility of her slender and delicate body.

"I'm fine, the problem has always been with you, you sneaky Cheng Feiyu!" The girl buried her face in her hands, gritted her teeth, and punched him again as if she couldn't hold back her anger.

"It's possible you're hiding something, but that's no excuse for you to come up with outrageous conclusions through your own wild speculations." The boy pressed down on the cold little hand.

"Trash, then I'll tell you why now!" Shen Xi sneered heavily. "First of all, the Dawn Flower you took out could only have three sources: the corridor, the place where it fell, and that island. These places are obviously not in Earth's dimension. If someone on this planet has mastered cross-dimensional technology, then it can only be an avalanche."

Cheng Fei opened his mouth.

"Secondly, the fact that you casually paid a 130 million yuan penalty to that vixen makes perfect sense if you were backed by Avalanche." The girl's sharp gaze pierced him.

Cheng Fei slapped his forehead.

"Thirdly, who else in the world, besides Avalanche, could produce that body lotion you gave me?" The girl's sharp gaze pierced him.

Cheng Fei was dumbfounded.

"Finally, from the yacht being attacked by the black shark, to encountering Ding Sheng on the cruise ship, and then to Tang Yu, who disguised herself as a reporter but was actually connected to the Deep Blue Foundation, you handled everything smoothly. I believe you weren't acting together. I'm not that stupid!" The girl gritted her teeth.

Cheng Fei's vision went black.

"Hypocritical trash! So how do you plan to argue now?" Shen Xi's face showed unwavering certainty and indescribable annoyance.

"Oh no, now that you mention it, I'm starting to suspect I'm an agent sent by Avalanche to infiltrate your inner circle." Cheng Fei thought about it seriously.

"Ha, even Cheng Feiyu, who's usually so good at sophistry, can't explain himself now. He's desperately trying to find a way to justify himself, but on the surface, he's just using nonsense as a delaying tactic." The girl stared intently at him.

"Little cutie, that's an exaggeration, a real exaggeration." Cheng Fei gently stroked her back and couldn't help but sigh, "She hides silently by my side every day, studying everything about me over and over again. She seems even more hopeless than Nana."

"Don't compare me to that love-struck vixen. If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation today, you'll never have to explain again!" The girl's pure, dark eyes reflected the boy's figure, their reflection wavering imperceptibly.

"Okay, I'll explain, alright?" Cheng Fei raised his hands in surrender.

Shen Xi stared intently at his face, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

"First, let's assume I really am an agent sent by Avalanche, and my mission target is you, the Protoss Queen. Then why would I bother with Lin Xuanqi? If it weren't for her, you would have willingly become my fiancée long ago, wouldn't you?"

"Still taking the opportunity to spout disgusting nonsense, who knows if you're plotting to seize the Lin family's assets and kill two birds with one stone?!" The girl looked directly into his eyes.

"So, assuming I really want to kill two birds with one stone, wouldn't the best way be to kill Master Ye on the cruise ship, let you inherit the Lin family business, and then keep you?" Cheng Fei spread his hands, paused, and said, "No, according to your assumption, Master Ye is also a member of Avalanche, so it's about making her leave the stage."

"Who knows if you're just being cautious and haven't made a move because you're afraid of arousing my suspicion?!" The girl remained unmoved.

"Teacher Shen, wake up, we can't talk like this."

"If we can't talk, then we won't!" the girl said, fidgeting.

"Okay, let's keep talking, I'm scared of you." The boy quickly hugged her tighter. "Putting that aside, secondly, even if Avalanche has a lot of money, it's still money. Since I'm here to complete the mission, why should I spend 130 million on Nana?"

"Who knows if you're just after that vixen's beauty and using your power to take advantage of her? Anyway, she's completely defenseless against you now and can satisfy your filthy desires anytime, anywhere!"

"Teacher Shen, if I may ask, what do you mean by 'anytime, anywhere'?" Cheng Fei felt that she was implying something.

"Those sounds in the kitchen just now, like rats moving around in the sewers, are disgusting just thinking about them! Don't think I didn't hear them!" The girl punched him, finally losing her temper.

The air in the room suddenly became quiet for a second.

Cheng Fei remained silent for a moment, then devoutly clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive my shameful sins."

"Daydreaming! I will never forgive such shameless behavior. Let's get back to the point!"

Cheng Fei coughed lightly, "By the way, Teacher Shen, have you ever considered that Nana's ability can also work in the corridor? This means that her Stand is also unique. Could it be that she is also a member of Avalanche?"

Shen Xi turned her face away, her eyes flickering.

"By the same token, Lin Xuanqi's ability can also work in the corridor. She's your cousin, so does that mean she's also a member of Avalanche? That doesn't make sense, Teacher Shen. Maybe you should reconsider the stand issue. Stands might not be as simple as you think." The boy shrugged.

Shen Xi frowned, her small, pink lips tightly closed, not moving an inch.

"As for the other points, I'm too lazy to talk about them. Teacher Shen, don't you think these ideas are too far-fetched? You believed them yourself before you questioned me?" Cheng Fei looked at her and softened his tone.

The girl turned her face away expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, have you suddenly developed aphasia?" The boy peered into her line of sight.

The girl buried her face in the boy's chest, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "If you think it's far-fetched, then give me a reasonable explanation for all of this."

680. Cheng Fei wants to punish Shen Xi.

"Sweetie, didn't I say it was a secret? I'll tell you when the time is right." Cheng Fei hugged her tightly, rested his chin on her head and gently stroked the back of her head, smelling the faint fragrance in her hair. "You just need to know that we're not enemies. We've been together for so long, there has to be some trust between us, right?"

"It's always the same excuse. Who knows when the conditions will be right?" The girl twisted her body forcefully, her slender hand grabbing the boy's arm, her fingertips digging into his flesh through his clothes.

"Shen Xi, to be honest, I can guarantee the timing of my breakup with Lin Xuanqi, but I can't guarantee this. But even if you never find out the truth in your lifetime, I hope we can always be in sync." Cheng Fei hugged her tighter, as if trying to merge her slender body into his own.

The girl buried her face and trembled violently. She took a deep breath, her voice strained as she spoke, each word deliberate and deliberate, "Trash, how dare you talk about mutual understanding like this?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm a thick-skinned person, please forgive me."

"Don't even dream about it, I'll never forgive you," the girl muttered through gritted teeth.

"Then let's not forgive each other. It's okay to be angry for the rest of our lives." Cheng Fei grinned.

Shen Xi fell silent, her grip on the boy's hand gradually loosened, turning into a hug, and she remained nestled in his arms, transferring all her weight to him.
