"I want to eat yours." Shen Xi interrupted the boy who had turned his head to speak, glancing at the refreshing dessert in front of him.

"Then what am I supposed to eat?" Cheng Fei opened his mouth. "Your Majesty, don't you think it's too cruel to eat in this heat?"

"You can eat my ice cream." The girl narrowed her eyes. "Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to."

"Of course I want to eat it, let's switch." Cheng Fei immediately pushed the half-eaten dessert in front of her and took away the half-eaten ice cream she had also eaten.

The cream that the girl licked out was originally smooth, but the boy took a bite out of it without any politeness, turning it into a mess.

Shen Xi watched this scene with a troubled expression, a subtle sense of displeasure, as if she regretted handing over the ice cream she had carefully licked.

"Teacher Shen, now you even have to switch food with me, isn't that a bit too ambiguous?" Cheng Fei said with a comfortable sound.

"Shut up. I just thought ordering another dish would be wasteful. Exchanging flavors is beneficial for both of us. If you keep spouting disgusting nonsense, I won't exchange again next time." The girl gave him a light kick under the table.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen made this decision solely out of extraordinary rationality, and there was absolutely no other intention behind it." The young man bowed his head reverently.

Shen Xi's eyes flickered, but she ignored him. She scooped up the coconut milk and its contents with a spoon, and as usual, she first brought it close to her nose and sniffed it before opening her pink lips slightly and putting it in. Her fair cheeks puffed out as she chewed.

Cheng Fei watched this scene while taking a bite of his ice cream, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Shen, how do you manage to eat so cutely?"

The girl looked up and met his gaze, glaring at him with disgust, but refrained from commenting because she had something in her mouth.

After resting at a roadside shop, the two got up and left.

Cheng Fei was about to continue driving when Shen Xi glanced at the end of the road and said in a cold, unyielding voice, "Walk over there."

"Okay?" The boy wanted to stop him, but he tried to keep his mouth shut.

Although it's not far from Miriam's villa, parking here is no problem, and there's shade along the way, taking a walk at midday in the summer still feels a bit pointless.

On a deserted Monday, teenagers walked side by side on the sidewalk of a seaside villa area.

"Cheng Fei, are you hot?" Shen Xi suddenly asked.

"It's alright," the boy said calmly.

"Then forget it." The girl said expressionlessly.

"It's quite hot," the boy said quickly.

Shen Xi frowned slightly and glanced at him with disdain. "Stretch out your hand."

Cheng Fei did as instructed, somewhat puzzled.

The girl placed her small hand on it, her expression inscrutable.

"Teacher Shen, what kind of move is this?" the boy asked, completely baffled.

“My hands are cold,” Shen Xi said, stating a fact.

"It is indeed quite cold." Cheng Fei seriously felt the girl's soft little hand, which felt icy even at noon. "Teacher Shen, you must take care of your health. You are really too weak."

"So you're allowed to hold my hand for now." The girl raised her chin, ignoring his incessant chatter.

"Okay, but what kind of logic is that?"

"This is as a way of repaying me for the hand warmer I received in winter. If you hold my hand now, it will cool you down a bit." The girl spoke solemnly, as if she had made some great sacrifice.

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything?" The girl turned her head and looked at the silent boy staring at her with a puzzled expression.

“Teacher Shen.” Cheng Fei looked at her.

"what?"

"Why don't you just let me hug you?"

"So Cheng Feiyu really can't understand human language?" The girl's brows furrowed.

"I understand, you mean you love me too."

The girl frowned. "It's inexplicable. It's just because I said I would respond to you at the right time, and now the timing is perfect. Besides, I think both of us can accept this method."

"Teacher Shen, you're too proud. I had completely forgotten about the hand warmer, but you still remember it. It's hard to explain without love." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"The absurd delusions have started again. How many times do I have to tell Cheng Feiyu before he remembers? I just unfortunately suffer from hyperthymesia, so I remember everything. Please don't try to guess my intentions with the pitifully low memory of aquatic mammals!" The girl raised her voice.

"Teacher Shen, is it really that hard to say 'I love you'?"

"Cheng Fei, let go." The girl's tone suddenly became calm.

"Never mind what I said." The boy's expression hardened.

"I told you to let go!"

"Teacher Shen, your little hands are so soft and cool, it feels so nice to hold them."

"I've gone mad to respond to this shameless Cheng Feiyu like this. I should have just deleted that winter memory completely. Anyway, aquatic mammals' brains have long forgotten it. I told you to let go!" The girl gritted her teeth, trying to shake him off, feeling utterly exasperated.

"How could I forget what Teacher Shen said so casually? I remember the adorable little girl wearing the fisherman's hat I gave her!"

"Disgusting! And don't touch my shoulder!"

"Teacher Shen, is it really necessary to be so strict? Can't we just pretend it's past midnight?"

"As expected, Cheng Feiyu doesn't understand human language, go to hell!" The girl took a deep breath, raised her small foot, clad in white socks and uniform shoes, and kicked him viciously.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong. Let me hold your hand and take a walk with you!"

"They're always pushing their luck and won't admit defeat until they're faced with the ultimate scumbag!"

"Please forgive me, Professor Shen, with your magnanimous heart that encompasses billions of dimensions!"

The two wrestled (or grappled) as they walked toward the end of the road, their arguing carrying far and wide.

746. Two people enjoying a holiday

Arriving at the door of Miriam's villa, which he hadn't visited in a long time, Cheng Fei dialed Sebastian's number.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to arrive early. I'll head over right away and trouble you to find me a place to rest."

I received this reply.

The boy hung up the phone, shrugged at the person next to him, and said, "Sweetie, how about we continue our walk?"

"I don't object." Shen Xi said expressionlessly.

So the two of them walked forward side by side again.

"Can we continue holding hands?" Cheng Fei asked calmly.

"Whatever." The girl looked straight ahead.

The boy held her cool, soft hand, and through the intimate touch of their fingertips, they could clearly feel each other's presence.

“Teacher Shen, I think we should reconsider why you are the Celestial Queen.” Cheng Fei rubbed his chin.

"Where are we going now?" Shen Xi asked, raising her chin.

"You don't want to talk about this at all?" the boy asked, glancing sideways.

"Since we lack information, there's no point in discussing it anyway," the girl said coldly.

"That makes sense, that's true." Cheng Fei smacked his lips. "How about going to the supermarket?"

"Why?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Buy groceries and cook." The boy said seriously.

Shen Xi thought for a moment, "I can't understand why Cheng Feiyu is so obsessed with cooking."

"It's not so much an obsession as it is, it's just that cooking makes me feel at home." The boy paused for a moment, "By the way, this is what Nana told me."

"I have no interest in listening to that vixen's absurd talk." The girl frowned slightly, her expression showing disgust.

"So we're not going to the supermarket?" Cheng Fei asked her.

Shen Xi met his gaze, paused for a second, then looked ahead and said, "I don't object, whatever you want."

"Ok."

"I also want to eat tomato shrimp balls."

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback.

"Of course, you don't have to do it if you don't want to," the girl sneered.

"Not at all. If you like it, I can make it for you for a lifetime." Cheng Fei squeezed her small hand.

Shen Xi seemed to sense something and turned to look at him, her pretty face as cold as ever. "In exchange, I can make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

The boy met those pure, ink-black eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "So cute?"

"Of course, you don't have to do it if you don't like it." The girl turned her face away again, lowering her eyes.

"Not at all, of course I like it. If possible, I'd like to do it for life." Cheng Fei's expression turned serious.

“Or,” Shen Xi ignored his comment and continued speaking to herself.

"or?"

The girl looked somewhat worried. "Or we could do something else, as long as it's not too difficult."

"Teacher Shen, are you in your virtuous wife persona today?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Cheng Feiyu is beyond saving, so let's just forget about her." The girl's face turned cold in an instant.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong. I would really die if I couldn't eat the food made by your cute little hands," the boy said immediately.

The girl paused for a second, then turned her face away, her eyes flickering, leaving him with only the back of her head. "Also, it would be best if you could teach me."

"Huh?" Cheng Fei leaned forward to examine that delicate little face. "You're still Shen Xi? You haven't really been replaced by the Star Spirit Queen, have you?"

The girl instantly became annoyed, gritted her teeth and kicked him, "If you don't want to teach, you don't have to. I'm not responsible if it tastes bad."

"Not at all, of course I'll teach you, I'll teach you step by step." The boy paused, then said, "It's just that Her Majesty the Empress has never been interested in cooking, so I really can't understand why she's being so proactive today. It feels like I've encountered a supernatural phenomenon."

"Please make sure you understand that it was this Cheng Feiyu who insisted on dragging me here. Anyway, there's nothing else to do right now, so I reluctantly agreed to participate. If you dare to utter another word of doubt, I'm done." The girl narrowed her eyes and glared at him fiercely.

"I understand." The boy raised one hand in surrender, cautiously. "So, you mean, 'since you're just idling around anyway'?"

"I'm not doing it anymore!" The girl took a breath and quickened her pace.

"Can't I even complain? I was wrong, Teacher Shen!" The boy quickly grabbed her small hand.

The two quickened their pace and walked forward.

Arriving at the supermarket where they had bought groceries during their last training camp, Cheng Fei pushed the shopping cart while Shen Xi followed beside him. The supermarket was quiet even on a weekday afternoon.

"Teacher Shen, how about we live like this every day from now on?" The boy pushed the cart and sighed contentedly.

"Cheng Feiyu, who's content with enjoying life, is starting to daydream again. Besides, wait until you've really broken up before saying things like that." Shen Xi said coldly, her gaze sweeping across the merchandise area.

"It'll happen sooner or later." Cheng Fei casually tossed a row of Want Want milk into the shopping cart.

"Oh."

As Shen Xi passed the freezer, she stopped and stared intently inside.

"Just take what you want," Cheng Fei said, watching her from the side.

Without hesitation, the aloof girl pushed open the glass, bent down, took out a box from inside, slammed it into the shopping cart, and looked up at him expressionlessly.

A whole box of vanilla Cornetto ice cream.

"Teacher Shen, we're only staying for three days, that's too long." The boy felt sweat on his forehead.

"But it's very hot." The girl's face showed displeasure.

"That won't do either. For a weak child like you, one popsicle a day is already the limit." Cheng Fei put the box back, thought for a moment, and then put two more popsicles into the shopping cart.

"You told me to just take it if I wanted it, but then you wouldn't let me buy it." Shen Xi stared at his actions, biting her lip and kicking him.

"Teacher Shen, this is a bit too cute. If you really want something cold, just buy something else to replace it." Cheng Fei hurriedly pushed the cart forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Trash." The girl followed behind with extreme reluctance.

Cheng Fei walked to the fruit section next door, patted the watermelons, and picked out two that were of a suitable size.

"Is this what they call a replacement?" Shen Xi scoffed.
