"I don't mind..." The girl pursed her lips, put her hands behind her back, and turned her head to avoid eye contact, like a primary school student being scolded by a teacher.

"I'm telling you to tell the truth, don't you understand?" The boy pinched her soft chin, forcing her to look at him.

Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened, her bright pupils filled with the boy's figure, gradually becoming misty and moist. "I'm a little... bothered."

"How much is one point?" the boy asked, observing her.

"It's just... when I think of how pitiful Ye Shuang looks, I don't mind anymore."

"I don't understand why you have such overflowing sympathy for her. Why weren't you like this with Shen Xi back then?" the boy asked, puzzled.

“Shen Xi is both fierce and stingy, I don’t want to pity her at all,” Nagasaki Asuna pouted.

"So you just think Ye Shuang treats you better, right?" Cheng Fei was a little speechless.

"Ye Shuang is a good person." Nagasaki Asuna nodded firmly with certainty.

“She really is a good person.” The boy shook his head. “Alright, don’t worry about it. Go back first. I’ll find you again after I’ve sorted things out.”

"Cheng Fei, are you going to seriously try to win her over?" Nagasaki Asuna hugged him tightly, looked up at him with a worried expression.

"Nana, aren't you being a bit too nosy?" The boy put his hands on his hips and looked down at her.

“What’s the master’s business is the cat’s business.” Nagasaki Asuna puffed out one cheek, her tone stubborn.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm ordering you to go home now, change into a nice outfit, and wait for me." The boy pulled her to the side of the road.

"Okay." The girl reluctantly followed the boy. "So, Cheng Fei, would you like a white cat or a black cat?"

The boy paused for a second, then said, "White."

"Ye Shuang is also wearing white, why isn't Cheng Fei wearing white... Waaah!"

"That's enough, shut up, get in." The boy covered the chattering girl, hailed a taxi, and shoved her into the back seat.

"Cheng Fei, these are her things." Before leaving, Nagasaki Asuna handed a stack of receipts to the boy.

Cheng Fei watched the taxi drive away, picked up the receipt and glanced at it, seeing that it was an examination order issued by the outpatient clinic.

"...The patient's chief complaint: intermittent, occasional stabbing pain in the area near the xiphoid process in the middle of the chest, lasting for a short period of time..."

The boy shook his head, put away the form, and went into the hospital.

……

On the other side, in the psychiatric outpatient clinic.

"Currently, your symptoms can be considered a reaction to recent stress and emotional fluctuations. It's not serious and you can recover through self-regulation. Medication is not recommended at this stage." The middle-aged female doctor looked at the well-behaved girl sitting upright in front of her.

"I understand, thank you, doctor." Ye Shuang nodded expressionlessly and stood up.

After the girl disappeared outside the door, the young intern who had been listening in wondered, "She seems to come from a well-off family, so why is she under so much pressure?"

"She wouldn't explain clearly, who knows? It's like when a family is strict and they're caught dating too early, they usually get over it after a while." The middle-aged female doctor said with an air of common sense.

Ye Shuang walked out the door, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Her gaze swept over the waiting area. Thinking of Nagasaki Asuna, a smile appeared on her beautiful, melancholy face. She began to think about inviting the Japanese exchange student to a coffee shop to pass the time while waiting for the CT results.

"Master Ye? What a coincidence!" A familiar voice, sounding quite serious, rang in the girl's ears.

She turned around and met the striking young man's somewhat exaggerated expression of surprise.

The girl's expression changed, and she hurriedly turned her head away as if she had been electrocuted, her small fists clenched and her eyes flashing.

"Master Ye, don't you recognize me?" The young man put his hands in his pockets and leaned forward slightly, getting closer to her.

Ye Shuang grabbed his tie with lightning speed, gritted her teeth, and her expression turned fierce. "Where's Nana?"

"She went back first, don't agitate Master Ye." The boy raised his hands in surrender and looked at her.

Ye Shuang shifted her gaze and noticed the medical report in the boy's hand. She reached out to snatch it, shouting, "Give it back to me!"

"No." The boy hid the item behind his back.

The girl tried hard to snatch it, but failed because the two were evenly matched in speed.

The two people, whose movements seemed to be fast-forwarded, attracted the attention of some people in the waiting area.

Ye Shuang glanced around, then narrowed her eyes and glared at the boy. "Cheng Fei! What do you want?"

"Master Ye, didn't we agree that we were even?" the young man asked, looking at her.

"You know we're even... why are you still bothering me?!" The girl's voice trembled slightly.

"Don't mention it. It's just that Nana had something come up and asked me to cover for her. Besides, if we're even, we'll just be neither friends nor enemies. I'm here to accompany you to the doctor out of kindness, so why are you being so mean to me?" the boy said seriously.

"That sounds nice, but you know the truth in your heart!" Ye Shuang's eyes trembled.

"Master Ye, does that mean we can't start over once we've settled our differences?" the young man asked, shrugging.

"Start what? What else do you want to do to me?!" The girl raised her voice, her eyes reddening, her expression a mix of grievance and anger.

This further attracted the attention of passersby, who all seemed to be putting their doctor's appointments on hold for what appeared to be a good show.

"Student, let's talk things out calmly, don't argue here," a passing nurse gently reminded him.

“Master Ye, now that you know, how about we calm down and talk things over?” Cheng Fei looked at the twin-tailed girl whose fists were trembling and said sincerely.

586. The two returned to their starting point.

"What else is there for us to talk about?! You..." Ye Shuang glared fiercely at Cheng Fei, but couldn't finish her sentence.

"Scumbag?" The young man looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Give me back my things!" the girl with pigtails said sternly, extending a small hand.

"Promise you won't be angry anymore, then I'll give it back to you." The boy remained unmoved.

Ye Shuang clenched her small fists and took a deep breath, her full, perfectly proportioned chest heaving as she stared at the boy and said in a deep voice, "Give it back to me first."

"Alright, Master Ye, I trust your character." The young man handed over the medical report.

Ye Shuang snatched the item, turned around and walked away.

"Master Ye, you promised you wouldn't get angry, where are you going?" Cheng Fei quickly followed, observing the beautiful face with its complicated expression.

"Wait for the results!" Ye Shuang stared intently ahead, as if there were some hideous thing there, her clear, bell-like voice filled with annoyance.

"Then I'll go with you." The boy put his hands in his pockets and followed.

Once out of the crowd's sight, the two, who were about half a body length apart, moved to the radiology waiting area. Ye Shuang sat in a chair, staring silently at the white floor.

"Master Ye, can I take another look at the order form?" Cheng Fei reached out his hand from beside her.

The girl handed it over without saying a word.

The young man picked it up and examined it for a moment, then asked calmly, "Master Ye, haven't you been to the hospital much?"

"What's it to you?!" The girl turned her head and glared at him, like a bomb ready to explode at any moment. Her fierce and menacing appearance was completely different from her usual friendly and refined demeanor.

"Don't get excited." The boy raised his hands in surrender in a second. "I just wanted to say that it's quite troublesome to wait two hours to get the full X-ray. Actually, you can just scan the code to see the report after a regular physical exam."

Ye Shuang looked down at the small print and QR code he pointed out, paused for a second, turned her face away, sat still in her seat, and frowned as if she was thinking about some kind of world problem.

"Master Ye, should we wait?" Cheng Fei cautiously observed her.

The girl with pigtails was silent for a moment, then sniffed hard and swallowed, like a wronged and stubborn little girlfriend, her eyes red, her head held high and she wouldn't look at him, her voice soft and unreadable, "Cheng Fei, what do you want to say to me today?"

"Since Nana has already told you, how about we have an open and honest talk again?" The boy's expression turned serious, and he straightened his posture.

"Tell me what? I don't understand." Ye Shuang stared at the science information board on the wall, her face cold.

“Master Ye, I admit that I did something to you on the life raft…”

"Cheng Fei, stop talking nonsense." The girl with pigtails interrupted him in a cold voice that left no room for argument. She turned her head, raised her chin, and looked down at him with eyes as cold as ice. "Nothing happened that day. You're mistaken. It's all your imagination."

The boy and she stared at each other for a moment, he opened his mouth, then lowered his head, "Master Ye, I'm sorry, I know my previous perfunctory attitude hurt you, actually I also..."

“Cheng Fei, you have nothing to apologize for. You saved my life, so I’m returning those photos to you. I believe you won’t do anything to betray Miss. Just stay with Miss and let bygones be bygones.” Ye Shuang’s calm voice was like stating a fact, without any extra fluctuations. Only by careful observation could one catch a glimpse of a trembling precariousness deep in her beautiful, gem-like eyes.

The boy and girl locked in a long, drawn-out gaze, the noisy hospital background sounds seemingly fading away, separating them into another, quiet dimension.

Cheng Fei smacked his lips and sighed softly, "Master Ye, I'm sorry."

Ye Shuang stared intently at the boy, her fair fists clenched tightly, twisting the medical report in her hand. She sniffed, turned her face away, her eyes slightly red, and her voice trembled softly, "Cheng Fei, you scumbag, I hate you."

Just then, a little girl of about four or five years old walked over from the side, staring at the two of them with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

"Come here quickly, come here quickly." An adult nearby scooped the little girl up and took her away.

"Master Ye, how about we go somewhere else?" Cheng Fei coughed lightly.

"You go back first, I'll go back after I get the results." Ye Shuang looked up at the red LED display screen scrolling text high above.

“Master Ye, there’s really nothing to check. You just choked on water and got shot, which triggered PTSD. You’re perfectly healthy. Just relax and you’ll be fine in a while,” the young man said gently.

"How can someone who's been shot be healthy?" Ye Shuang suddenly chuckled. Even her cold laugh, usually reserved for a gentle lady, was as clever and witty as a fleeting moment, giving one the illusion of being bathed in a spring breeze.

"Master Ye, please don't do this, I'm scared." The boy shivered for no reason.

"Cheng Fei, are you driving?" Ye Shuang glanced at him.

"It's open? What?" the boy asked quickly, his expression turning serious.

The girl silently got up and walked outside on her own.

The boy had no choice but to follow.

As they entered the parking lot, the girl with pigtails went straight to the passenger side of the Panamera and got in.

After Cheng Fei got into the car, Ye Shuang opened her phone's map, selected a location, and showed it to the boy, saying, "Go to this place."

"Okay." Cheng Fei was confused, but he did as instructed.

The sports car, gleaming like a silver serpent, flashed by, heading east through Academy City.

Cheng Fei activated the zero-speed mode, and the blurry scenery outside the car was frighteningly fast. Ye Shuang ignored it and stared out the window expressionlessly.

They drove in silence until they reached the rocky coastal road and caught a glimpse of a vaguely familiar scene, at which point the boy realized where he was.

"Just stop right up ahead," the girl in the passenger seat said softly.

The Panamera stopped at the deserted coastline, and the young boy and girl got out of the car.

Ye Shuang walked step by step toward the sea, with Cheng Fei following behind. The waves crashed tirelessly against the rocks, and the salty sea breeze blew against their faces, ruffling their hair and clothes.

The boy put his hands in his pockets and observed his surroundings.

Back then, Lin Xuanqi ordered Cheng Fei to be dealt with, but Ye Shuang and her men, who had driven here, received orders to let him go and left him by the roadside. Now, things have changed.

Ye Shuang walked to an open area, stopped and turned around. Before she knew it, glistening tears were welling up in her eyes. The girl pursed her lips, wiped her red eyes haphazardly, clenched her fist and said softly, "Cheng Fei, let's fight."

"Master Ye?" The young man was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Don't call me master. We are enemies now." The girl stared at him intently, a resolute look rising in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I won't hold back. If you lose today, I will tell Miss everything."

Looking into her earnest eyes, Cheng Fei seemed to sense something, his expression gradually becoming serious. He nodded, "I understand, but you will always be my Master Ye."

In a secluded corner of the vast, unpredictable ocean, at some moment, soaring seagulls and deep-diving fish simultaneously freeze in time, and water droplets leaping from the surface float in mid-air, shimmering with a slow, rhythmic light.

587. So the girl threw a punch at the boy with all her might.

When Ye Shuang charged toward him with a cold expression, and thick condensation clouds appeared on the surface of her fair little fist, Cheng Fei realized that there was no point in saying anything more at this moment.

He must win this match.

The boy activated the speed limit at full speed, slowing it down fifty times.

Even in a world that was almost at a standstill, Ye Shuang's speed was outrageous.

Jab, jab, straight punch, hook, uppercut, followed by a 360-degree high back kick.

The boy skillfully dodged the girl's barrage of punches by sidestepping to the left and right. Each of the girl's punches carried unparalleled kinetic energy, and the air that could not escape was violently compressed in front of the fist, forming a dense cloud of condensation visible to the naked eye, which then exploded with a deafening sound.

The final sweeping kick was enveloped by a cone-shaped cloud of condensation. The boy leaned back, barely dodging the tiny pink sneaker that swept less than a centimeter above his nose. The resulting shockwave stung his face, and a terrifying explosion echoed across the sea.

With that kick, he probably won't have to worry about Ye Shuang complaining to Lin Xuanqi anymore.
