"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but watermelon is indeed a popular summer food on Earth, no less delicious than industrial products like ice cream," the boy said earnestly, bowing his head.
"I hope so." Shen Xi turned her face away, her eyes narrowed slightly, her small face showing a look of disdain that said, "How dare you belittle ice cream? You're blind! I'm too lazy to bother with a petty person like you."
They purchased the remaining ingredients they needed, and Sebastian called to say he had arrived, so the two returned to the villa.
"Then the key is yours. I will come to clean in three days. Happy birthday, Miss Shen Xi, and I wish you both a pleasant holiday." The old gentleman bowed slightly, then turned and got into his car and left.
Cheng Fei and Shen Xi stood on the roadside under the sun, watching him go. The chirping of cicadas from somewhere made the atmosphere exceptionally quiet.
"Let's go, Teacher Shen." The boy smiled at the girl.
"hand."
"Not even a hug? That's too strict."
"Shut up."
Next, considering that it was still early, Cheng Fei found a parasol and a deck chair in the small warehouse behind the villa, moved them to the shade of the trees by the beach, and then cut the watermelon he bought in half and stuck a spoon in it.
"Little cutie, eat up." The boy handed half of it to Shen Xi.
The girl watched his actions the whole time, took the heavy watermelon, and looked at it suspiciously.
"Your Majesty has never even seen a watermelon before? Just dig it out like this and eat it." Cheng Fei sat on the recliner and demonstrated to her with great seriousness.
Shen Xi ignored him and sat down on the recliner, picked up a piece of crisp fruit flesh, twitched her small nostrils, and smelled the sweet fragrance wafting in the air.
Cheng Fei leaned back comfortably in his chair, holding the watermelon and putting the flesh into his mouth. He had bought a seedless watermelon. He would never have spent extra money just to avoid spitting out the seeds before, but now he could only sigh and say that the evil capitalists really know how to enjoy life.
It was afternoon, and the sunlight shone brightly on the azure sea. The clear waves lapped against the white sand, and the recurring sound of the waves seemed to come from the distant past.
The entire beach in front of them was a private beach belonging to the villas, so there wasn't a single person in sight. In the distance, there was a small pier where tall, snow-white yachts were moored. The scene before them was as tranquil as a painting, like the most perfect work of a photographer.
Shen Xi also put the scooped-out fruit pulp into her mouth, feeling the cool and sweet taste released on her taste buds. She lowered her eyes and leaned her slender body against the back of the chair, gradually becoming relaxed.
She turned her head to look at the boy and found that he was eating watermelon while staring at a certain place.
The girl frowned slightly, following the other person's gaze until it finally landed on her feet.
Shen Xi was still wearing the dress she had worn when she arrived, but at the boy's suggestion, she took off her socks and put on a pair of white flip-flops when she got to the beach.
At this moment, the girl's delicate, petite feet were placed together on the recliner. Her fair and delicate skin, as white as mutton fat jade, was dazzling under the shade of the tree. From her slender and long calves to her round and pink nails, everything about her was like a work of art that was too beautiful to be described.
Cheng Fei watched nonchalantly as he put a watermelon in his mouth, making a crisp crunching sound as he chewed.
Shen Xi instantly became annoyed, quickly curling her legs up to hide her feet where the boy couldn't see her, hugging the watermelon tightly, glaring at him through gritted teeth, "Trash! What are you staring at?"
"Teacher Shen, it's just a look, don't be so stingy, okay?" the boy said, looking wronged.
"You despicable Cheng Feiyu, don't even think about it!" The girl's face was icy cold.
"Teacher Shen, is it really necessary to be so strict?" Cheng Fei sighed with a sense of sorrow.
"Find out who's the problem. It's one thing to pay attention to other things normally, but now they're staring at feet the moment you're not looking. It's like a rat that runs out of the sewer and plunges headfirst into the garbage heap without hesitation. They're incorrigible and disgusting!" The girl's expression made no attempt to hide her disgust.
"Teacher Shen, you can scold me, but I will never allow you to compare your small, delicate feet to a garbage dump," the boy said solemnly.
"Shut up, or I'll really throw up. I just can't understand how you can still eat. Do the rats in the sewers really have no bottom line?" The girl frowned, looking completely bewildered.
"Teacher Shen, how about we compromise? You pretend you didn't notice anything, just like before, so we can both enjoy the food and the scenery."
"Shut up. So all that scheming was for this? This Cheng Feiyu is utterly disgusting." Shen Xi kept his legs curled up to the side so that he couldn't see his feet.
"It's an exaggeration to say it was premeditated. I only noticed it just now and couldn't help but take a few more glances." The boy looked wronged. "But you, Teacher Shen, weren't you trying to seduce me by putting your foot there? And you're even turning the tables on me. You're too scheming."
"Who's trying to shift the blame? Enough, Cheng Fei, if you keep this up, I'm going in." Shen Xi took a deep breath, her pure, dark eyes losing focus.
"Teacher Shen, forget I said anything, I won't watch it anymore, okay?" Cheng Fei raised his hands in surrender and then continued eating the watermelon by himself.
The girl stared at him, her small face wary as she waited for a moment. Only after confirming that he was no longer paying attention to them did she straighten her curled-up legs, scoop out a piece of watermelon, sniff it, and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she kept glancing at the boy over there out of the corner of her eye.
Cheng Fei ate watermelon while staring thoughtfully at the horizon where the sea met the sky.
Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Trash, what are you looking at now?"
"Can't even look at the sea?" The boy turned around, surprised.
The girl turned her face away indifferently, ignoring him.
"Teacher Shen, I'm thinking." Cheng Fei stared at the sea, eating watermelon.
"What?" Shen Xi glanced at him.
"How did the Protoss Queen come to Earth? She must have been in a spaceship or something, right? And then—whoosh—she landed somewhere." The boy gestured with a spoon. "Then, your mother dug something out of somewhere. Of course, it might not have been a person, it could have been something else. Anyway, that's how you became the Protoss Queen. And she just happens to be a geologist, doesn't that make sense?"
Shen Xi frowned. "I don't want to talk about this right now."
"Okay, I was just thinking about it. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too." Cheng Fei nodded, took a bite of watermelon, and then turned his gaze to the girl's feet.
"Trash?!" Shen Xi curled up her legs in a second.
"Teacher Shen, you don't want to talk about serious matters, and you won't let me look at your feet. I'm in a difficult position. What do you want from me?" The boy looked at her helplessly.
The girl looked annoyed and opened her mouth.
Just then, a strangely familiar voice came from behind them.
Wow! The scenery here is amazing!
Cheng Fei and Shen Xi were taken aback and turned to look at each other simultaneously.
Zhou Han was shading his eyes as he stood under the eaves of the villa, gazing at the beach scenery, while Ruan Jingyi stood beside him, holding a swimming ring.
Nagasaki Asuna and Ye Shuang appeared behind them.
All four were dressed casually, wearing sunglasses and flip-flops, looking like they were on vacation.
Asuna Nagasaki was the first to notice the parasols and lounge chairs under the trees, and blinked. "Eh, so they were already here?"
Ye Shuang also looked on silently.
Shen Xi's face darkened. She took a deep breath, turned her head, and spoke in a cold, emotionless tone, "Cheng Fei, is this what you mean by 'no one will bother us'?"
"I don't know what happened either, believe me, Shen Xi." The boy shivered and said quickly.
Soon, the two met up with four uninvited guests and had a conversation.
"So it was Miriam who invited you here, saying you wanted to have a barbecue by the sea?" Cheng Fei was shocked.
He began to doubt how much Chinese that British lesbian actually understood.
“Yes, we’ve even bought the ingredients.” Zhou Han nodded vigorously and pointed to a large pile of bags on the table next to her.
"Where is she? Did she give up the college entrance exam?" Cheng Fei couldn't understand.
"Milian said she'll come to meet me after the exam the day after tomorrow at noon?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head with her hands behind her back.
Shen Xi sighed, her face expressionless.
Cheng Fei slapped his forehead.
747. Shen Xi didn't like tomato shrimp balls to begin with.
Four girls are playing in the water on a beach with clear water and white sand.
"Shuangshuang, take this!" Nagasaki Asuna launched her attack with a wicked grin. Her full and firm breasts swayed wildly as she bent over to splash water, making people dizzy.
"Nana?!" Ye Shuang exclaimed in surprise after being attacked, covering her chest with her hands to conceal her perfectly proportioned, pineapple-shaped body in the school swimsuit.
The two were then simultaneously ambushed.
"You're all going to die!" Zhou Han shouted, spraying water at the two men with a water gun.
Ruan Jingyi, wearing a bright yellow swim ring, knelt in the shallow water and watched from the sidelines, her face expressionless.
The quiet girl was sprayed in the face the next second, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Ruan Jingyi, you should die too!" Zhou Han said energetically.
Suddenly, the water gun in the petite girl's hand lost power, and even though she frantically pulled the trigger, there was no response. She shook the water gun and blinked her round eyes, "Strange... there's still water left?"
"Her water gun is flat! Go, Shuangshuang!" Nagasaki Asuna was the first to shout and splash water on Zhou Han.
Ruan Jingyi followed suit, splashing water without expression.
"Wait, let me pump it up... No!" Zhou Han screamed as she was surrounded and covered her face.
The cheerful laughter of the girls (presumably) mingled and echoed on the beach, making the already beautiful scenery even more captivating.
"It's a pity Miriam isn't here, otherwise she probably would have fainted." Cheng Fei leaned back in his recliner, watching this scene from afar, and sighed while eating watermelon. "Teacher Shen, isn't this actually quite good?"
"Heh, it's certainly a treat for the insatiable Cheng Feiyu." Shen Xi frowned slightly, put the watermelon into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously with her fair cheeks, as if she were biting someone's flesh.
"What I mean is, Professor Shen, it's more fun to have so many friends on vacation than just the two of us. Humans are social animals, after all, even the Protoss Queen is the same, right?" Cheng Fei said seriously.
"Sorry, Protoss are solitary creatures." The girl said coldly.
"Even if the Protoss Queen doesn't live in groups, she must still be with her Apostles, right? Didn't Little Yi say that every queen has her own group of Apostles?" the boy wondered.
“Apostles are not Protoss. To the Queen, they are merely tools and consumables.” The girl glanced at him detachedly, her face expressionless.
The boy opened his mouth, then honestly lowered his head, "I understand, I have overstepped my bounds."
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just stating the facts. First of all, I am not the Celestial Queen. Secondly, Cheng Feiyu, as a servant, is neither loyal nor moral. She is entangled with people and is fickle. To this day, she is still hiding a major secret from me, which shows no sincerity. Her taste is vulgar and disgusting. She often pretends to be compliant but is two-faced. She is also a despicable person who forgets righteousness for profit. At the same time..." The girl looked ahead, and her tone, which was unreadable, became faster and faster.
"Stop, stop, Professor Shen." Cheng Fei put down the watermelon and made a stop gesture. "I know you have a lot of opinions about me, but can you give me face and skip this part for now and get straight to the conclusion?"
Shen Xi paused for a second, then narrowed her eyes with a slightly displeased look. "But so far, their performance is still somewhat salvageable. As long as they don't do anything disappointing again, I won't abandon them easily."
"I understand, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Cheng Fei sighed comfortably, continued eating watermelon, and shook his spoon. "So, after all this talk, it's actually quite nice to have more friends to celebrate your birthday with?"
"Whether what you call 'good' is for me or for Cheng Feiyu, you know it in your heart," Shen Xi sneered.
"Not at all. I genuinely hope you can experience what it's like to be with friends, instead of being all cold and aloof all the time, Shen Xi." Cheng Fei looked at her, his tone casual.
The girl glanced at him, then turned away, unmoved. "Let's not talk about that. I just hope that some people's so-called meticulous preparations can be fulfilled as promised, instead of being used to slip through the cracks in the chaos."
"Teacher Shen, you're not looking forward to it, are you?" the boy asked with great interest.
"Since we're here and have nothing else to do, we might as well see what Cheng Feiyu is up to." Shen Xi didn't look at him, leaving him with the back of her head.
"So, you mean, 'Since we're already here'?"
"Shut up."
The two sat on the deck chairs, eating watermelon and chatting casually.
In the afternoon, Cheng Fei thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Shen, since they bought food for a barbecue tonight, why don't we cook lunch?"
"Is this the language of aquatic mammals?" Shen Xi looked puzzled, paused, and pinched her chin. "That makes sense. Lower animals don't really have the concept of three meals a day, so it's understandable that they would say something like 'afternoon meal'."
"Anyway, things like tomato shrimp balls are pretty much like desserts, so everyone can eat them when they're tired of playing." The boy shrugged.
"Heh, Cheng Feiyu is really generous." The girl said, emphasizing each word.
"Don't worry, they also bought shrimp, and the amount they make will definitely be enough for everyone, and of course, Her Majesty the Queen will have priority." Cheng Fei lowered his head.
"Nobody here cares about this kind of thing." Shen Xi stood up expressionlessly.
So the two went to the villa's kitchen and began cooking.
Cheng Fei planned to teach Shen Xi how to make sweet and sour fish, and the two prepared the ingredients together.
"Teacher Shen, you're holding the knife handle wrong. Look at me," the boy gestured.
Shen Xi observed for a moment and said, "I don't see any difference."
"Don't put all your fingers on the handle. Move forward a bit, and pinch the blade with your thumb and forefinger. It'll be easier to control the knife that way." Cheng Fei came up behind Shen Xi and took her small hand to correct her posture.
The slender girl was half-embraced from behind by the boy, her delicate brows furrowed as she stared at the kitchen knife in her hand. "Where did you learn to use it?"
"Is that even a question?" The boy casually returned to his seat.
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"You two, do you need any help?" Nagasaki Asuna peeked out from behind her back, blinking her clear, bright eyes.
"No need for that today, Nana," Cheng Fei gestured to her with his eyes.
"Okay?" The girl smiled and shrank back.
Shen Xi glanced at the direction of the door, her stubborn lips tightly closed.
