"..."

"Shen Xi, you're just too cute."

"What are you looking at? Turn around!"

Why must we judge someone solely on their appearance?

"This is a necessary means of treatment."

"You want me to stare at your face from now on? That's too perverted, Shen Xi."

"Shut up, it's better to stare at her face than anywhere else."

"At least your legs should be okay, right?"

"Shut up!"

"Shen Xi, then I want to touch your face."

"reject."

"You're refusing this too?"

"Don't even think about getting physical with someone surnamed Lin until you break up with him."

"Is it reasonable to touch someone's leg but not their face?"

"So you're going to defy me now?"

"Shen Xi, tell me honestly, have you really awakened the personality of the Celestial Queen recently?"

"Heh, so afraid that I'll turn into someone else? It seems Cheng Feiyu doesn't feel safe either."

"I'm just a little worried that your controlling nature has become increasingly exaggerated lately."

"The consequence of telling me you like or love me is that you'll be a servant for life, obedient and devoted to me. So Cheng Feiyu doesn't even understand this?"

"I knew your Protoss Queen was freakish, but I didn't expect her to be this freakish."

"It's too late to regret it now. If someone makes me do something like this, I will never forgive them if they dare to betray me again."

"Shen Xi, you're amazing."

"This is rubbish, it's so uncomfortable!"

"But you won't let me do anything else, so I have nothing else to do."

"You're allowed to look at my face! Isn't that enough?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist kissing him."

"you dare?!"

"It's your fault for being too controlling and seducing me too much. Please reflect on your actions."

"...Fine, I'll allow touching your legs, is that enough?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's disgusting, I feel like throwing up! Garbage!"

"This won't work either? Fine."

In the sparsely lit, silent night of Academy City, a light shines in a window on the 36th floor, a corner unknown to anyone, and it seems this situation will continue for a very long time.

Meanwhile, in the next room.

A sweet girl with long, coffee-colored hair curled up in the blanket, her hair sticking to her cheek with sweat, and her neck tinged with a faint pink.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, she pursed her pink lips, took a deep breath as if sensing something, and murmured softly, "Cheng Fei... Cheng Fei... Cheng Fei..."

The girl slowly twisted her body, her toes, hidden under the blanket, sometimes stretching and sometimes clenching.

……

Early morning on the first day of summer vacation.

The three of them sat together at the dining table to enjoy breakfast.

Cheng Fei ate his toast while staring at his phone without looking up.

Shen Xi sipped her yogurt expressionlessly, then suddenly felt impatient and kicked the boy next to her, "Trash, what are you looking at?"

"Huh?" The boy looked up. "Professor Ruan introduced me to a senior student majoring in biology. He said that if I'm in a hurry, I can go over now."

"Then let's set off after we finish eating," the girl said coldly and without hesitation.

"Okay." Cheng Fei replied to the message, then put away his phone and focused on filling his stomach.

"Um, I guess I won't be going with you two?" Nagasaki Asuna covered her mouth and yawned, looking a little listless.

The boy shifted his gaze to her, puzzled, "Nana, you seem to have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well?"

"You slept quite well?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked her clear, bright eyes, propped her chin on one hand, and glanced at the two of them. "I just heard that you two seemed to be very busy over there, so I couldn't help but stay up late with you."

After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence at the dining table.

Shen Xi looked at her, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared in her pure, dark eyes.

Cheng Fei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Never mind, I'll deal with you later."

“Okay~” Nagasaki Asuna smiled happily and responded sweetly, resting her chin on her hands and gazing at the boy without blinking.

"Pack up." Shen Xi gave a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning.

The boy's expression hardened, but he continued eating his bread without making a sound.

"You haven't finished eating yet?" The girl gritted her teeth and kicked him hard in a displeased manner.

"We're done eating, let's go." Cheng Fei immediately stood up. "Nana, stay home and watch the house."

"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna continued to rest her chin on her hand with a happy expression, completely different from her listless appearance just now.

……

After Shen Xi changed into a neat, fitted skirt, Cheng Fei took her out.

The Panamera drove towards the Academy of Science and Technology. A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sat in the passenger seat, staring ahead with an indifferent expression.

Cheng Fei glanced at her briefly while gripping the steering wheel, and said seriously, "Teacher Shen is very cute today too."

"She doesn't seem as cute as your classmate Nana," the girl scoffed.

"Teacher Shen, is this really necessary?" The boy shook his head.

"Trash, I'm warning you, if you make me do that kind of thing, remember it well. But if you're messing around with that vixen, forget it all." The girl narrowed her eyes as she said this, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

“I will never forgive her.” Cheng Fei followed up with a sigh, “As expected, Her Majesty the Empress’s possessiveness and controlling nature are equally exaggerated.”

767. Cheng Fei thought Shen Xi's face was a little round.

The Panamera slowly drove into the campus of Polytechnic University.

As Cheng Fei passed through the gate, he glanced out the window and muttered, "Everything's fine here. Where's the flooding? It really was fake news."

Shen Xi scoffed, "Cheng Feiyu, you're just deceiving yourself."

"Teacher Shen, speaking of which, we also came to the Academy of Science and Technology on the first day of the winter break. What a coincidence!" the boy asked, feigning surprise.

"A clumsy attempt to change the subject." The girl chuckled again, paused, and stared out the window with a hint of mockery. "It's true that it's the first day for everyone, but some people who had to walk last time can drive this time. Things are really different now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly made a U-turn on the empty road, causing the girl in the passenger seat to sway unexpectedly due to inertia.

"Trash, what are you doing?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.

“Teacher Shen, how about we take a walk in like we always do? It won’t take much time.” Cheng Fei said seriously.

The girl paused for a moment, then turned her face away expressionlessly. "I don't object."

So the boy parked the car in the parking lot near the school gate, and the two of them got out and walked.

Just like during winter break, the campus was quiet in the early morning.

The sun had just risen, far from the scorching heat of midday. Sunlight filtered through the lush foliage of the roadside trees, leaving faintly visible paths of light in the cool air.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Fei casually put his arm around Shen Xi's small shoulder, pulling the girl's slender body and waist-length black hair to his side.

Shen Xi glanced at him coldly, offering no comment.

"He used to get angry and yell at me for the slightest touch, but now he doesn't get angry at all. It's so cute." The boy sighed contentedly.

The girl's eyes flickered, as if she suddenly realized something, and she said coldly, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"It doesn't seem to be meeting time today. May I ask what you're doing?" The girl gripped the thin strap of her small handbag, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint chill emanated from her.

The boy's expression hardened, and he quickly thought for a moment, "Shen Xi, we started our regular meeting last night, and according to usual, it should continue until tonight. You shouldn't object, right?"

The girl paused for a moment, lowered her eyes, and the chill emanating from her dissipated. "I don't object."

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then smacked his lips, pretending to be determined as he muttered to himself, "I'll definitely get rid of these rules next winter break, so you'll be mine anytime, anywhere."

Shen Xi gave a cold laugh and turned her face away from him.

The boy glanced at the cold little face hidden by the long black hair, his gaze sweeping over her fair and delicate cheeks, and stroking her chin. "Teacher Shen, if you look closely, your face is actually quite round. No wonder I always find it so cute."

The girl turned to look at him, her brows furrowed, her eyes widening slightly as if she had heard something unbelievable: "Are you saying I'm fat?"

"How could that be? If you're considered fat, then there's no one thin in the world." The boy shook his head.

"What do you mean by 'round face'?" The girl's cold voice was so displeased that even the birds that flew away in fright could hear it; she clearly had a strong opinion against this assessment.

"It means exactly what it says. Although she has an oval face overall, her cheeks are a bit round. If you look closely, you'll find that she has a kind of cuteness that's just right, like a child. It's just that she's usually too aloof to hide it." Cheng Fei stared at her small face and carefully touched his own cheek.

"You mean I look childish? That's utterly absurd." The girl frowned even more, covered her chest with her hands, shivered as if disgusted, and looked him up and down with a look of utter disgust. "What kind of hysteria is this? Why did it suddenly start?"

"If I had to say, it's because you made me stare at your face, Teacher Shen." The boy nodded with certainty, continuing to observe her small face, his expression becoming reverent. "Teacher Shen, I've found you to be truly special. Not only are you beautiful and cute, but your already high stats seem a bit contrived. Your icy demeanor perfectly balances that out. How should I put it? Like a perfectly chilled, sweet watermelon on a summer's day, it has a kind of grandeur. Could it be that the Celestial Queen even meticulously designed such details?"

Shen Xi stared at him, her face full of confusion, her small lips slightly parted but unable to speak.

"Why are your eyes bulging out of proportion? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled.

The girl took a deep breath, biting her lip as if trying to remain calm. "Shut up. Is Cheng Feiyu's brain always filled with these shallow, unambitious thoughts? Does he only know how to judge girls?"

"Teacher Shen, I wouldn't normally care about girls, but this is your problem. Who told you to be so outrageous? I was only focused on your legs and feet before, and didn't really appreciate how cute your face is. It's my fault, and I repent here." The boy lowered his head sincerely.

Shen Xi stared at him intently, hesitating to speak, then finally sighed, turning her face away as if unwilling to face him, comforting herself, "Never mind, Cheng Feiyu will always be like this anyway, say whatever you want, it's better than staring at his feet."

“Of course, Ms. Shen is great in every other way.” The boy said, his gaze moving down her face, skipping over her chest, and landing on her excessively slender and long legs under her gray-white plaid skirt. He followed her dazzlingly white skin down to her small feet wearing spotless white socks and black uniform shoes.

"You hopeless piece of trash, where are you still looking?!" Shen Xi noticed his gaze out of the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, and delivered a vicious blow to him with a feeling of unbearable frustration.

"Can't I even look?"

"This is the only prohibition I mentioned!"

"Teacher Shen, some things can be guided rather than blocked. Your one-size-fits-all approach will not succeed. I advise you to change your mindset as soon as possible!"

"Enough with the nonsense. Cheng Feiyu has no right to argue with me. All he needs to do is obey orders!"

The two strolling intimately together on the tree-lined path looked no different from any other couple on campus to passersby, provided, of course, that they ignored the strange arguments that occasionally broke out between them...

Soon, the two arrived at the building with the sign for the School of Life Sciences and Technology. A slightly chubby young man with a friendly smile greeted them. His name was Gu Fan, and he was a master's student at the School of Science and Technology.

"Hello, Senior Gu, I'm Cheng Fei." The boy shook the other's hand.

"Mr. Cheng, Professor Ruan told me about your matter. Please come up first." Gu Fan said warmly.

Upstairs in an office, Cheng Fei handed him a tooth and a hair in a sample bag. "These are the two things. Please check if they belong to the same person. Thank you."

Gu Fan picked up the sample bag and looked at it, staring at the teeth inside before freezing in surprise. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "President Cheng, could you give me a rough idea of ​​where this came from? Technically it's not difficult, but I'm still a little..."

“I know.” The boy nodded, pursed his lips, as if considering his words, and his expression became complicated. “Senior, to be honest, this is what happened. This tooth belongs to my cousin’s mother. Not long after her mother gave birth to her out of wedlock, she was stimulated by the pressure at home and ran away from home. Her whereabouts are still unknown.”

The boy revealed a genuine sadness and suddenly grasped Shen Xi's small hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, the aloof girl's pupils contracted, and she looked at him with her eyes widening slightly. A look of confusion flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth, feeling like she wanted to scold him but couldn't. She simply turned her face away from him, her stubborn lips tightly pressed together.

Cheng Fei continued, “My cousin was raised by her maternal grandmother. She has always longed to see her mother. We recently found a woman in a nursing home who matches the description but is mentally unstable and unable to communicate. This tooth is her mother’s baby tooth that her grandmother gave us before she passed away. This hair is what we got from the nursing home. The normal paternity test process is too troublesome. We want to confirm it as soon as possible, so... Anyway, I’m begging you.”

Gu Fan looked at Shen Xi, who had a blank expression and seemed to be not good at speaking, and showed deep sympathy. He nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I understand. Don't worry, little sister, I will get it sorted out as soon as possible and let you know as soon as there are any results."
