"Trash." The girl paused for a second, then turned on the tap a little, as if to keep the hot water in the bathtub, before burying her face in the side of his neck again and whispering in his ear, "We're doing this today because we're going to talk about the Black Umbrella."

The boy immediately understood, nodded to show he understood, and whispered in the girl's ear, "So it was for a bathtub meeting."

Their belongings, including their cell phones, were left on the bedside table outside. Their quiet conversation was drowned out by the noise of the faucet, and only they could hear each other.

“Judging from what happened that day, Black Umbrella was clearly interested in communicating with us,” Shen Xi continued softly.

Because they were so close, the girl's soft voice, carrying a warm breath, brushed against Cheng Fei's ears, making them itch a little.

"Probably? Although it was just a vague sentence." The boy recalled what happened after defeating the defeated work.

“She obviously didn’t leave on her own; she was teleported away by the magic lock. Don’t tell me Cheng Feiyu didn’t even realize that.” The girl patted the back of his neck with symbolic force.

"I guessed that, since normally she should have used an umbrella instead of teleporting directly." The boy nodded tentatively, smelling a familiar, faint fragrance from the roots of the girl's hair wrapped in a bath towel, and couldn't help but move closer. "But why was she teleported?"

“Little Cutie suspects it’s related to Isena. She didn’t want us to communicate with Black Umbrella, so she forcibly expelled Black Umbrella after taking back control.” The girl’s eyes flickered, her serious tone tinged with hesitation.

The boy fell silent.

The girl, receiving no response, wondered, "Why isn't Cheng Feiyu talking?"

"It's nothing." The boy sighed and hugged her a little tighter. "I'm just so charmed by Teacher Shen's adorable side that I want you to stay like this forever."

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? If you keep spouting such absurd fantasies, there will be no more 'cute' mode." The girl shivered as if she had caught a chill, a little annoyed.

"Never mind what I said, let's continue." The boy patted her head lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It is indeed possible. The black umbrella disappeared first and then Xiao Yi appeared. Maybe she deliberately avoided meeting the black umbrella."

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, her face showing a hint of displeasure. She took a deep breath and said, "That's one possibility. Another possibility is that something else is repelling the black umbrella. After all, she usually only operates in smuggling areas. In any case, she wanted to continue communicating at the time, but she was forced to leave."

"In that case, what are you planning to do next, Ms. Shen?" The boy continued to pull her closer to him.

"Go find her. Maybe she'll tell us the truth when we meet again." The girl lowered her eyes, her slender body trembled slightly, and she shrank back a little.

"That makes sense. Then I'll go to the fifth floor next time." The boy looked lost and didn't move again, his tone nonchalant.

"Mm." The girl nodded slightly, her voice barely audible. "Cheng Feiyu will accompany the little cutie."

"If you're a cutie, you can go anywhere." The boy leaned closer to her hair.

"Sweet talk trash." The girl's voice trembled slightly, and perhaps because of the bath, her small earlobes were tinged with pink.

"Not at all, this is from the bottom of my heart, hasn't it always been like this?" The boy took a breath.

"Save those words for when your little cutie won't be reluctant to come online." The girl gave a somewhat forced, cold laugh.

"If someone calls me online as 'cute,' I'd be absolutely willing," the boy said firmly.

"It's not time to sleep yet, Cheng Feiyu, stop dreaming." The girl's cold voice was gentler than usual.

"Besides the black umbrella issue, is there anything else important?" The boy became slightly serious, yet also seemed eager to get started.

"Yes." The girl narrowed her eyes, her face turning slightly colder. "It concerns the abilities associated with the surname Lin."

"Okay, Ms. Shen, please go ahead?" the boy said in a serious tone.

“The test results from that day were quite clear.” Shen Xi paused as if pondering, “Whether on Earth, in the slit dimension, or at the crash site, she could only guess the dice result if her consciousness was in the same dimension as hers.”

"It seems so. When she was in the corridor, she could still guess the actual dice roll, but once she went to the slit dimension, she couldn't guess anything at all." The boy recalled the test that day.

"Therefore, there is reason to suspect that she did indeed peek at the results in some unknown way. This kind of cheating ability cannot work across dimensions." The girl unconsciously frowned and opened her mouth slightly, as if preparing to suck his blood.

The boy wanted to revel in her soft touch, but sensed a hint of danger. He swallowed hard, somewhat distracted. "So why is this happening?"

“I don’t know, but it’s not surprising. Even though there’s only a tiny difference in orientation between the slit dimension and the place of the fall, different dimensions are still different. There’s an insurmountable chasm between them that no conventional means can cross.” As the girl spoke, she made a horizontal slicing motion on the back of the boy’s neck.

"But her ability doesn't completely follow the Stand's movement; it also has a way of working across dimensions?" The boy continued to recall the test content, "Later, instead of letting her guess the number of the dice that had already been rolled, we changed it so that she could guess a number first and then roll the dice, which would allow it to work across dimensions."

That day, as arranged by Shen Xi, he and Nagasaki Asuna conducted various tests on Lin Xuanqi.

One method is to have Lin Xuanqi call out a number in the slit dimension first, and then Nagasaki Asuna returns to reality to roll the dice. The result is that she will most likely roll the number that Lin Xuanqi wants. The result is the same after changing the location.

“That’s right. So, Lin can not only observe events that have already occurred in the same dimension, but she can even interfere with the future in different dimensions and turn her subjective ideas into reality.” Shen Xi frowned as if she was thinking about a difficult problem, and she put her teeth on the boy’s neck with a little force, making it feel like she was grinding her teeth.

"Teacher Shen, I know this is a sign of your love for me, but could you please not do this? You are the Celestial Queen, not the Mantis Queen. Don't try to murder your husband." The boy's eyelids twitched.

"Shut up, don't make a sound." The girl released her mouth as if nothing had happened, then pondered, "This ability is simply unbelievable. Does it mean that whatever she thinks will become reality?"

"It shouldn't be that abnormal. I guess it will only affect the occurrence of random events to a certain extent, and the effect might be worse as the scope expands, since rolling dice is a very small matter, which is why there is a false impression that her words can be followed by law," the boy said cautiously.

"Heh, Cheng Feiyu really knows her well." The girl let out a cryptic sneer.

"Teacher Shen, I was really just reasoning." The boy gently stroked the back of her head.

"In short, we still need to conduct more in-depth testing and think of other ways to thoroughly understand the ability mechanism of the person surnamed Lin." The girl's tone left no room for argument.

The boy hesitated, then said, "Teacher Shen."

"what?"

"Want to test her again? Maybe we should just forget about it. Actually, I don't think her abilities are anything special. Compared to her, your intelligence and cuteness, Nana's mind-reading ability, and Master Ye's Platinum Star are all quite unscientific when you think about it. There's no need to keep harping on Lin Xuanqi." The boy said honestly.

"Hearing that the testing would continue, you started acting guilty again, making up excuses and rambling on. But once you realize that Lin's abilities are more valuable for testing than yours, you won't let him off easily." The girl punched him.

"Alright then, whatever makes Teacher Shen happy. Anyway, you're the freest little cutie in the multiverse." The boy sighed.

"That's enough. Now, let's talk about one last thing." The girl frowned slightly, as if she had lost interest in the topic.

"It's finally over, please continue." The boy breathed a sigh of relief and instantly regained his composure.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl released his neck, raised her head, and squinted to meet his eyes.

"What's with that sudden fierce expression?" the boy asked cautiously, observing her.

"Explain yourself now." The girl stared at him, her voice inexplicably muffled, and her face seemed displeased.

"What do you need to explain? I don't think I have anything to explain lately, do I?" The boy looked around.

"Tell me everything that happened at your house that day, when that man surnamed Lin was there." The girl lowered her eyes, speaking softly as if she didn't care at all.

“Teacher Shen, what’s there to explain? Of course nothing happened. Let’s not waste time.” The boy said without hesitation.

The girl stared at him, and a palpable chill began to emanate from her, causing the boy to shiver in the bathtub.

"Teacher Shen, your asymmetrical eyes are so cute. Was that also carefully designed?" The boy leaned closer to examine her slightly squinting eyes.

"Cheng Fei." The girl took a deep breath, her flat chest, wrapped in a bath towel, heaving dramatically.

"Alright, but Teacher Shen, didn't we already talk about this the other day? Can we give each other some space? I love you no matter what." The boy stopped mid-sentence, bowed respectfully, and said, "I was wrong."

"Explain." The girl uttered only two words, her face as cold as ice.

"Teacher Shen, is this really necessary? Actually, I'm not feeling guilty, I just don't want you to get angry for no reason. Anyway, no matter what she does, it won't affect our relationship. As the old saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. I think it's better if you don't know some things." The boy said seriously.

Shen Xi's gaze moved across his face, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

The air in the bathroom was silent for a second.

Then, the aloof girl, her expression unchanged, put her small hands behind her head, grabbed the towel wrapped around her hair, and gently tugged it.

Her long, silky black hair cascaded down and smudged into the water.

With her thick bangs and sideburns accentuating her delicate and charming face, the girl's exquisite features appeared even more petite and captivating.

"What's with this feeling of switching battle modes? No need to explain?" the boy hesitated.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair leaned forward, her face expressionless, and her lips parted slightly. "Trash, take a good look... at the face of your beloved little cutie. She's ordering you to honestly confess what happened that day. No matter what happened, you're not allowed to hide anything from her. If it wasn't your fault, she won't blame you."

She paused, turned her face away, and her trembling voice became almost inaudible, "Then... my little cutie will satisfy you just like last time, do you understand?"

993. What will happen to Cheng Fei if he suspects Shen Xi?

After Shen Xi finished speaking softly, as if to prove something, she put her small hands back on his neck, then adjusted their position to fit closely together, so that the two could clearly feel each other's shape and temperature. She buried her face near his neck, and her long, dark hair, reaching her waist, splashed in the water, completely enveloping the two of them.

Like cherry blossom petals in a warm spring breeze, the incredibly soft and delicate touch once again fell upon the boy's heart, interrupting his thoughts with an indescribable beauty.

In the enchanting atmosphere, the boy approached the girl's fair earlobe, which had been stained with blood, and after a moment's hesitation, he recounted what had happened between him and Lin Xuanqi in the rented room that day.

After listening, the aloof girl with her face buried in her hands opened her mouth slightly, revealing two rows of neat white teeth pressed against the boy's neck.

He froze, swallowed hard but didn't move, like a prisoner awaiting trial.

After this continued for two seconds, the girl blinked, withdrew her teeth, and gave a low, cold laugh. "It's like a stray dog, desperately trying to steal a bite of someone else's food. It's pathetic and laughable."

The boy glanced at the thick, black-haired head in his arms, remaining expressionless. "So, I'm Teacher Shen's food?"

"It was just a metaphor. I don't know what you're fantasizing about again." The girl raised her head, still expressionless, her pure, dark eyes fixed on him. "So, how did Cheng Feiyu feel when she forcibly kissed him?"

"Disgusting," the boy said without hesitation.

"Looking at your beloved little cutie's face, if you're still lying, she'll be disappointed." The girl lowered her eyes, letting the boy's gaze linger on her exquisitely beautiful face, her casual tone suggesting she didn't care at all.

"Shen Xi, just how far are you going to go to break the rules?" the boy sighed, gently brushing aside her damp hair.

"That's how cute you are. If you can't resist, then hurry up and confess." The girl glanced at his hand out of the corner of her eye, her calm tone stating a fact before subtly shifting her gaze away.

"Alright, if you really have to ask," the boy pondered, smacked his lips, "it has a feeling of both novelty and nostalgia."

"What do you mean?" The girl's gaze returned to his face, her cold expression unchanged.

"It's probably because we've been broken up for so long that we feel a bit estranged, but because we were together for so long before, we immediately feel familiar when we meet again—the smell, the temperature, and how we feel in sync," the boy pondered.

"Heh, mutual cooperation." The girl narrowed her eyes, her indifferent expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

"It's like I knew she was thinking the moment she stuck out her tongue, well, I won't go into the details, it's just a feeling. Of course, I absolutely didn't play along with her, instead I very decisively pushed her away, I swear to God." The boy said with certainty.

The girl remained unmoved, seemingly lost in thought. "The first time, I let it slide because she caught me while I was wearing a helmet, but why didn't Cheng Feiyu dodge the second time?"

"Teacher Shen, do you really have to ask such detailed questions? I can be slow to react sometimes, or my mind might wander." The boy's gaze shifted.

The girl remained silent, her stubborn, pink lips tightly pressed together as she stared at him.

A second later, the boy honestly lowered his head, "Okay, actually I hesitated. I was actually manipulated by my pathetic male instincts and developed a slight lingering affection for her that I shouldn't have. I'm really beyond help. Please forgive me, my gentle and tolerant little cutie, Teacher Shen."

The girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she said softly, "Okay."

"Huh?" The boy observed her cautiously.

"Considering you confessed fairly honestly, Teacher Shen will reluctantly forgive your crime, little cutie." The girl subtly turned her face away as she spoke.

"You forgive her just like that?" The boy was a little incredulous. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated. "Teacher Shen."

"What?" The girl glanced at him.

"You didn't really have Xiao Yi spying on me, did you? So you already knew what happened, and just wanted to see if I would tell the truth." The boy observed the small face so close to his, trying to find a clue, but he didn't succeed.

"What did you say?" The girl looked at him again, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she had heard an unexpected statement.

"I asked Teacher Shen if she was spying on me. After all, I have the 'True Eye' feature on my phone, and Xiao Yi can easily eavesdrop. If the camera angle is right, she might even catch me on camera." The boy shuddered as he spoke, sensing something was wrong, and quickly stopped. "Why does Teacher Shen seem a little unhappy?"

The girl's small hand on his neck slowly tightened, she narrowed her eyes and gently gritted her teeth, her voice gradually turning cold, "Cheng Feiyu, why do you think my little cutie is unhappy?"

"I don't know, are you angry because I exposed you?" The boy paused and shook his head. "Teacher Shen, just like you forgave me, I don't care that you are monitoring me. After all, it is because you care about my performance. Although this kind of controlling desire is really a bit perverted, it doesn't matter. The feeling of secretly monitoring me at home every day is also cute."

The girl lowered her head and took a deep breath, her flat chest heaving dramatically, her body trembling slightly, as if she were enduring something. "Cheng Fei."

"What's wrong? Did I guess wrong?" The boy realized something.

"Please get this straight, you despicable little man." The girl raised her head and approached him, emphasizing her tone, "Little Cutie has never, ever been interested in spying on you! I just wanted to find out what happened between you and that Lin guy, and we touched lips a couple of times. Although it was disgusting enough to make me want to vomit, that stray dog ​​of hers can only satisfy itself with these shameless little actions now. As long as it can test her abilities, I'll consider it Little Cutie's charity."

The girl spoke through gritted teeth, as if she wanted to bite a piece of flesh off his neck. "You piece of trash who judges others by his own standards, I kindly chose to believe you and forgive your shameless crimes outside. I'm sitting in front of you now, being gentle and tolerant, and all I get in return is suspicion and these ridiculous delusions... You heartless Cheng Feiyu don't deserve any sympathy at all!"

Finally, she cursed him out of sheer exasperation, punched his shoulder hard, and then quickly pulled away from him by pressing down on the edge of the towel and stood up.

The boy was stunned by her angry expression. His expression changed and he tried to pull her back. "Teacher Shen, I was wrong, really wrong. I just said it casually. It's true, the pure and virtuous Teacher Shen would never stoop to spying. To imagine Teacher Shen as despicable and unscrupulous as me is truly a betrayal of Teacher Shen's kindness. It's outrageous. Please forgive me one more time, Teacher Shen!"

"Enough, shut up! Don't think that just because you're trying to appease this little cutie, she'll believe you're genuinely repentant. You hypocrite, Cheng Feiyu, go to hell!" The girl was even more furious and forcefully shook him off.

The water in the bathtub sloshed violently due to the two people's movements, splashing large amounts onto the floor with a loud noise.

"Teacher Shen, please don't do this! Where are you going?"

"This is none of your business, let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"Then go die, little cutie!!!"

After a fierce struggle, the aloof girl, unable to break free, suddenly raised a slender and beautiful work of art and struck the boy sitting below with all her might. The small and soft object hit his face precisely.

"?!" The boy was caught off guard and loosened his grip.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the girl shook him off and stepped out of the bathtub, muttering viciously as she went, "You dare to threaten a cutie? That's an even bigger crime! Trash, you're going to die!"
