It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

?

Newton gave Li Cheng a strange look, finding his way of speaking a bit odd, but she quickly put the matter aside and continued firmly, "No matter what you do, I won't say a word."

"very good."

Seeing how determined she was today, Li Cheng gave up on verbal persuasion and decided to use torture instead.

As they happened to be very close to Susie's room, Li Cheng picked up the struggling Newton, went into Susie's room, and closed the door behind him.

Susie's room wasn't much different from the last time she visited; it was still spotless, and the empty spaces on the shelves for her collections had been filled with new items, making it look quite full.

Li Cheng noticed a rough blue coat, the kind often worn on construction sites, hanging on a coat rack in the corner. He pointed at it and said to Newton, "Does this look like Susie left on her own?"

Newton pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Why won't you tell me?

Seeing this, Li Cheng was really helpless. He laid Newton across his lap and threatened him with his actions: "If you don't talk, I'm really going to spank you this time. Not the kind of humiliating spanking we've done before, but the kind that really hurts."

In any case, the disappearance of a living person without any reason is extremely serious. Moreover, Susie was someone Li Cheng brought out of the countryside. We must ensure that she returns to the village safe and sound, whether dead or alive.

"You're actually going to spank me for that woman named Susie?"

Newton finally spoke, but what he said surprised Li Cheng: "You really do like her, don't you?"

Although she hadn't been spanked yet, she could already feel a hazy mist in front of her eyes, and her nose felt a little sore.

Although Li Cheng didn't understand what Newton was talking about, he still said decisively, "No, I don't like Susie at all."

Newton remained noncommittal. She turned her head with difficulty, looked at Li Cheng with her large, slightly moist blue eyes, and said expressionlessly, "If you admit it, I'll tell you where she went."

Li Cheng wasn't stupid; he firmly stated, "I don't like Susie!"

"You're lying! Lurengar told me everything; she saw you two kissing!"

Newton shouted sternly.

Lurengar had just been transferred from butler to MI9 when he was betrayed without hesitation by his superior, Newton. His life as chief spy didn't even last three days. Not only was he unprecedented, but it's unlikely anyone will ever be again.

What?

Li Cheng was stunned. He finally understood what had happened. He guessed that after finding the lost collectible in Elizabeth's den that day, Susie kissed him on the cheek, which Lu Renjia saw and then embellished the story and told him the truth.

"You're speechless now, aren't you?"

Although Newton won, his tone grew increasingly dejected: "You really do like her."

She'd been so good to him, running back to the territory with him from London and entrusting him with all its affairs. Although she didn't care about Li Cheng's affections at all, he dared to like that woman named Susie, and didn't even like her... Was a woman's chest really that important? Or was there something about her that was really unpleasant?

"That's a misunderstanding."

Li Cheng was both amused and exasperated. He never expected that the truth was that the little bean sprout was jealous and had chased Susie away somewhere.

He had no choice but to repeat what happened that day with a sense of helplessness: "Some of Susie's collection was taken by Elizabeth. I was looking for something with her that day, and at the end she thanked me and suddenly kissed me on the cheek."

Finally, he concluded, "Susie and I are completely innocent, so don't overthink it. Besides, I prefer you to her."

Newton seemed quite skeptical: "Really?"

Li Cheng said frankly, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go to Elizabeth's place right now. It's there now..."

Newton pinched Li Cheng's thigh hard and interrupted him with displeasure, "That's not what I asked."

"what is that?"

Li Cheng gave the jealous little girl a strange look and reached out to pat her head.

While trying to avoid Li Cheng's gesture of patting his head, Newton looked directly into his eyes and said, "You just said you like me, right? Now prove it to me."

Chapter 179 A Profound Lesson

"How do you prove this?" Faced with Newton's question, Li Cheng was a bit of a headache. "It's not a math problem, there's no standard answer... Why don't you give me a task, so I can complete it?"

That's your problem.

Newton was very dissatisfied with this answer, so he stopped trying to keep his head up and let gravity pull his head down.

This idiot actually asked me how to do it? Don't you even know how to do this?

Although it may seem like a simple question to the person involved, it is actually too subjective, much like a college entrance exam essay, where getting a perfect score depends entirely on whether the examiner is in a good mood that day.

Li Cheng thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a perfect answer, so he decided to try out his ideas one by one.

He first picked up Newton, who was lying across his lap, and held her in his arms, then pressed her ear tightly against his left pectoral muscle: "Come on, listen carefully to my heartbeat."

Newton was somewhat puzzled, but he still put his ear close to his heart, closed his eyes tightly, and focused his consciousness on hearing.

thump, thump, thump—

A strong, powerful heart beats rapidly, contracting and expanding, transporting hot blood throughout the body, just like a certain intense emotion.

Does Li Cheng like Newton?

He certainly liked this cute blonde little girl, enjoyed being with her, liked watching her every move, and even liked her occasional tantrums...

Otherwise, Li Cheng would have already fled back to the 21st century to enjoy the conveniences of modern technology, instead of staying in the 17th century where almost everything was lacking except for human rights.

That's a tangent, let's get back to the main topic.

Newton listened quietly to Li Cheng's pounding heartbeat for a while, then disdainfully turned his head away: "A heartbeat is just a part of blood circulation, a normal physiological phenomenon, and has nothing to do with whether you like it or not. The fact that it's still beating only proves that you are a living person."

Li Cheng was initially quite confident, but he was stunned when he heard this—it was like the examiner saying that you were off-topic, even if you weren't.

He tried to do a reading comprehension exercise: "Don't you think it's beating really fast? That means it's moved, proving that I really like you."

Unfortunately, the young examiner was stubborn: "No! I said no, and that's final! No matter who goes for a run, their heart rate will increase, but that doesn't prove you like me at all!"

Plan A failed.

Start Plan B.

Seeing that Li Cheng had no way to prove it, Newton angrily began to struggle: "Let go of me! I don't want you to hug me!"

How could Li Cheng possibly listen to her let go? On the contrary, he held her even tighter, not allowing her any chance to escape.

Newton realized he couldn't break free on his own, so he put his head close to Li Cheng's neck, planning to force him to let go by biting Li Cheng's neck.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt the force on her body loosen.

Did you let go?

Before Newton could even wonder what was happening, he felt a force coming from both sides of his head.

This force did not harm her; it merely altered her original trajectory, causing her planned target—Li Cheng's neck—to become Li Cheng's lips.

"Well......"

So the biting turned into a clash of lips and teeth. Newton first tried to resist by closing his lips tightly, but Li Cheng was too strong and pressed too hard, so he involuntarily opened his mouth and put something smelly inside.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the room, falling on the two people embracing each other, coating their originally fair skin with a golden hue, like fish that had been pan-fried.

Newton, like a fish that had been fried, went from being tense to limp and powerless, her arms hanging limply at her sides. If Li Cheng hadn't been holding her head, she probably would have collapsed completely into his arms by now.

[This paragraph has been censored; it's just to reach the word count...................................................................]

It is said that women feel much more intensely when kissing than men. Li Cheng doesn't know if it's true or not, but Newton's reactions during kisses are indeed quite exaggerated.

Right now, Newton was unconsciously emitting a sweet, nasal sound that she herself was unaware of, her breathing sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, as if she were chanting an unknown tune. And her large blue eyes were filled with an unyielding mist, her consciousness seemingly completely hazy.

In contrast, Li Cheng, though also agitated and breathing somewhat rapid, managed to remain relatively clear-headed, ensuring his arm was still engaged and preventing Newton from losing his balance due to weakness.

......

Time passed, I don't know how much.

The two ended their seemingly endless kiss and parted ways helplessly.

After taking two deep breaths to relieve his suffocation, Li Cheng looked at the panting Newton and felt that things were almost settled, so he smiled and said, "Does this prove it? I wouldn't kiss someone I don't like, would I?"

"Huh, huh..."

Due to lack of oxygen and other reasons, Newton's face had turned completely flushed. But after hearing Li Cheng's question, she paused to catch her breath and pointed out a crucial flaw: "You kissed Susie too!"

Although she was no longer so angry after Li Cheng's consecutive plans A and B, Miss Newton felt that she couldn't let him get away with it so easily, otherwise this fool would develop the illusion that he was easy to coax and could be fooled by kisses and hugs.

It would be best to teach this idiot a very, very, very profound lesson today, so that he will never dare to act recklessly again.

“How can that be considered?” Li Cheng frowned.

“Why can’t it count? You said you didn’t like Susie, but you kissed her,” Newton analyzed methodically. “Your words are contradictory, which means you’ve been lying to me from the very beginning!”

Li Cheng said with a headache, "I didn't lie to you! Besides, Susie's cheeks are... well, I only talk to you about...

As he said this, he suddenly remembered that he had kissed people before, and his tone paused for a moment.

That happened shortly after he took office in Cambridge. Although it was Lavoisier's surprise attack, for some reason, he retaliated with an even more intense, long and passionate French kiss... Come to think of it, Lavoisier's tongue was far more proactive than Newton's...

And so, some scumbag was on Susie's bed, holding a Newton book he had just finished reading, reminiscing about the scene of kissing Lavoisier in the past.

Incidentally, Freya, worried that the two might develop some irreconcilable conflict, happened to be eavesdropping and hadn't left yet, so all the necessary elements were present.

Newton noticed the slight pause and scoffed, "Hmph!"

Plan B failed.

Seeing that his two consecutive plans had failed, and both were due to Newton's irrationality rather than problems with the plans themselves, he became somewhat irritated.

Looking down at the blonde little girl in his arms, who still had a stern face but whose eyes revealed a hint of cunning and smugness, Li Cheng's forehead twitched, and he finally made a decision.

He slowly said, "Then I'll do something that I only do with you, that should prove it, right?"

Chapter 180 Things I've Never Done with Anyone Else

"What do you want to do?"

Newton keenly sensed Li Cheng's malice. Her first reaction was to cover her bottom, thinking that what Li Cheng meant by "only doing things with her" was spanking—although it didn't seem to make much sense.

Li Cheng did not answer the question. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed those moist lips again.

?

Newton opened his big eyes in confusion, but did not resist; instead, he slightly parted his lips.

With her body responding, a familiar tingling sensation quickly spread throughout her body, and she soon became immersed in the blissful sensation between her lips and tongue.

Li Cheng observed her for a moment and found that her eyes were glazed over and her face was flushed. He knew that it was about time. Based on his experience, Newton in this state was similar to a drunkard, and he would basically not resist anything.

'Sometimes I really worry about this guy; he's completely unguarded.'
