"Yes, yes, yes, the most beautiful girl in Academy City." The boy nodded perfunctorily.

The two returned to their room. Lin Xuanqi looked around, circled the room, and stopped in front of the shoji door connecting to the next room. She turned around and lowered her voice slightly, "There's a room next door too? Who's staying there?"

She didn't want to repeat the embarrassing situation of opening the door and seeing Miriam again.

"Who else could it be but your loyal spy, Ye Xiaoshuang, of course?" The boy rolled his eyes, looking helpless.

"Xiao Shuang?" Lin Xuanqi nodded casually, then thought for a moment, "Has she come to your place? Or have you been to her place?"

"Asking such detailed questions, do you suspect I'm cheating on you?" The young man stroked his chin, observing her with a serious expression.

Lin Xuanqi met the boy's gaze without flinching, and said irritably, "You dare?"

"I wouldn't dare." The boy immediately shook his head, then paused, "However, it also depends on your performance, Xuanqi."

"Heh, what do you mean by 'look at my performance'? Tell me." Lin Xuanqi laughed instead of getting angry, and stepped forward to stare at him.

"When you see me in the future, dress cutely, wear thinner tights, and be more proactive towards me," the boy said earnestly.

"Does my husband mean that I'm not cute enough?" Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, a dangerous glint appearing in them.

"Okay, she's pretty cute." The boy seemed oblivious and patted her head.

"Aren't my pantyhose thin enough? I made sure to change them before seeing you, they're so thin I'm embarrassed to show them to anyone." Lin Xuanqi tiptoed closer to him.

"So you changed into that outfit specifically for that occasion? I was wondering why you went to the company dressed like that, it was too..." The boy looked like he suddenly realized something.

"That's too much, what? Go on." Lin Xuanqi's smile became even more dangerous.

"That's just too cute." The boy nodded with certainty.

Lin Xuanqi was speechless. She put her hands behind her back and stared at him, then lowered her head, her eyes drooping, and her expression became unnatural. "Wasn't that being proactive enough? I was looking at you while..."

"That's true, alright." The boy smacked his lips and nodded.

"What do you mean by 'okay'?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"I'm barely managing not to cheat anymore," the boy said, shrugging.

Lin Xuanqi narrowed her eyes and stared at him, remaining silent for a second before a cruel smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Barely, huh? I told you to barely, and now you dare to act like this with me? Cheng Fei, I think you don't understand the situation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she began to twist his waist viciously.

The boy grimaced, "Hiss, Xuanqi, I was just kidding, I was wrong."

"What a joke! You can mess around with me, but if you dare to mess around outside, don't blame me for biting you to death!" The girl revealed her clean, even teeth, feigning ferocity.

Ye Shuang huddled in the rag, listening to the faint conversation next door, her eyes wide as she stared at the ceiling, her slender hand clutching her chest tightly, where her heart was pounding so violently it felt like it was about to jump out.

A moment later, Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi's fierce fight moved to the tatami mat.

"By the way, Xuanqi, how did the by-election for the board of directors of Academy City go?" The boy looked at the arrogant girl with long black hair swaying above him.

"Does President Cheng still need to ask me about something like this?" Lin Xuanqi twisted around on her own.

"The meeting just started today, how could I be so well-informed? Of course I'd ask you, the daughter of a board member."

"Yuan Shijie has been elected." The girl rolled her eyes, looking disdainful.

"Sister Yufei didn't succeed?" The boy looked genuinely surprised.

"You care about her a lot, don't you?" The girl's tone turned unfriendly.

"Just asking out of curiosity, I'm curious about the fact that the Lin family and the school construction company have a lot of cooperation. How can you swallow this insult, having a seat taken away by the Zhenyuan Group?" Cheng Fei said nonchalantly.

The follow-up investigation into the Twin Towers attack ended unsurprisingly due to a lack of clues; all the terrorists were killed, and the mastermind behind it remained unknown.

Yuan Shijie colluded with an unidentified apostle, and theoretically, any target he was targeting was extremely dangerous. However, if anyone was to be assassinated, it would be someone from the Lin family. Cheng Fei, adopting a "not my problem" attitude, had no interest in getting involved. He was not going to risk his life for Lin Xuanqi's safety.

"So what if I can't swallow it?" Lin Xuanqi seemed to have no strength left, and slumped weakly into the boy's arms.

"How about sending someone to attack Zhenyuan Group as well? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The young man took control of her, his tone menacing.

"Alright, then I'll send you to wipe out the entire Yuan family, leaving no one alive." The arrogant young woman's eyelashes trembled slightly as she let him do as he pleased.

"I'll pass. I'm too kind; I can't bring myself to kill anyone." The boy said without hesitation.

"Tch, I thought you were something special." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes, then paused. "So what if you can't swallow it? The Yuan family isn't just anyone. They can't just take revenge casually. They need to find the right people to plan it. You think..."

You thought it would be the same as how it was done to you before, but as soon as you said that, the girl realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.

"What did I think it was?" the boy asked, looking at her.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, my mother will worry about this kind of thing." Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, and she casually looked away. After thinking for a moment, she leaned closer to the young man, her eyes red and alluring, "Honey, am I pretty?"

"Of course it's beautiful," the boy replied without hesitation.

"Then hurry up." The girl gave a soft snort, guiding his palm to move, shifting her weight over him, and gently inhaling into his ear, her voice incredibly seductive, "Daddy..."

"Tsk, you asked for it, you went on a shopping spree." The boy turned fierce.

"Yes, that's her." Lin Xuanqi stammered, her words abruptly stopping, her eyes losing focus.

Ye Shuang hid in the cloth ball, straining her ears to listen to the conversation next door. At first, she was nervous and uneasy because of the content of the conversation, but soon her beautiful face with its distinctive features turned red, and she stared blankly in the darkness.

"Miss..." The obedient girl swallowed, a strange feeling spreading from her heart, her heart beating faster than when she was reading any comics.

She shouldn't have listened to it; she'd never been interested in such things before, but now she didn't know why...

The girl's straight, slender legs clamped tightly around the blanket.

The next day.

Breakfast, attended by all members of the Corridor Research Department, was spent in a subtle atmosphere.

Zhou Han was filled with remorse for her reckless words and actions yesterday and dared not speak to anyone.

Asuna Nagasaki rested her chin on her hand, smiling without saying a word.

Ye Shuang obediently lowered her head, keeping her eyes down and her mind focused.

"Everyone, log on as soon as you've eaten. I'm going to the Dual-Body World. The fox spirit will lead the group to farm materials," Shen Xi said coldly, her face expressionless.

"Teacher Shen, I'm taking a vacation with Xuanqi, so I won't be working for you," Cheng Fei said seriously.

"What are you laughing at, you vixen? Hurry up and drink your mung bean soup." Shen Xi pretended not to hear or see the boy, and glared at the sweet girl over there.

“Yes~” Nagasaki Asuna replied, drawing out the last syllable.

"Starting to give me the silent treatment again? Fine." Cheng Fei turned around without hesitation. "Xuanqi, let's go shopping on the pedestrian street later."

"I'm so tired, I just want to lie down, I don't want to shop." Lin Xuanqi rested her chin on her hand and yawned lazily.

"Then I'll lie down with you, and then we'll go soak in the hot springs." The boy nodded eagerly.

Shen Xi stared at the wall, squinting as if some extremely hateful creature was crawling over it. She gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "He's starting to dump his work on others again. He's always all talk and no action, a despicable scoundrel who cheats and shirks his responsibilities."

"Cheng Fei, what did you promise to do for her?" Lin Xuanqi asked, glancing sideways with a nonchalant tone.

"Actually, it's nothing. They just planned to make equipment in the corridor, but they weren't strong enough, so they had to rely on me for help. Sigh, it's all my fault for being too strong." The boy sighed seriously.

"He's bad at the game but loves to play." Lin Xuanqi chuckled.

Shen Xi's eyelids twitched. She took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and gave the boy a sharp, piercing look from above before turning and leaving without a word.

Seeing this, Lin Xuanqi's lips curled into a gloating smile. After thinking for a moment, she said, "By the way, Cheng Fei, are there any shops selling helmets in the shopping malls on this pedestrian street?"

"I think so, what's wrong?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Shuang, please buy one for me. I'll play with you all, so that if I take Cheng Fei away, no one will be able to play anymore," Lin Xuanqi said casually.

"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away." Ye Shuang nodded like a maid and made a move to get up.

"I'll go now, Chef Ye, please continue eating." Cheng Fei stood up before her and strode towards the entrance.

The obedient girl opened her mouth and turned her questioning gaze to Lin Xuanqi.

"Then Cheng Fei can go. Anyway, you two are both quick." The arrogant girl said nonchalantly.

Once the boy's figure disappeared, the sound of a door closing came from the other side. Nagasaki Asuna was the first to stand up, tilting her head and smiling, "Then I'll go online first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sweet girl left with light, quick steps.

Following closely behind, Zhou Han, Ruan Jingyi, and Milian also quickly fled when they sensed the situation was not good.

Only Lin Xuanqi and Ye Shuang remained in the living room.

Lin Xuanqi stared at the latter's face, a half-smile playing on her lips.

The obedient girl's heart skipped a beat. Her small hands, hidden under the table, clenched together. She pretended to be no different from usual, and put on a warm smile befitting a well-bred young lady. "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Xuanqi asked, noticing the faint dark circles under her eyes.

"Hmm, a little." The obedient girl's eyes flickered.

"Did Cheng Fei and I disturb you? The soundproofing in this house is terrible." Lin Xuanqi looked up and sighed helplessly.

"As long as you're happy, Miss, I'm fine." Ye Shuang smiled and shook her head.

"Speaking of which, when I arrived last night, I originally wanted to go find you, but Zhou Han took me to Shen Xi's place instead. Shen Xi seems a bit neurotic. Do you know what's wrong with her lately?" Lin Xuanqi asked in a casual tone.

"She... I don't know either." The obedient girl thought for a moment and shook her head.

"What about Cheng Fei? You live just one door apart. Did he go over and bother you?" Lin Xuanqi asked, resting her chin on her other hand.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell into a deathly silence.

"What are you saying, Miss? Cheng Fei isn't that kind of person." Ye Shuang glanced at her, a hint of shyness creeping into her smile.

"That's good. If he dares to take advantage of you, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson." Lin Xuanqi said irritably.

"Miss, you're worrying too much. What advantage do I have to gain?" The obedient girl's voice softened.

Lin Xuanqi smiled as usual, gazing at the twin-tailed girl who seemed to have dressed up carefully recently, making her even more striking in appearance, and said nothing more.

The room where the two were located became quiet.

831. Cheng Fei's luck improved.

A dual-body world.

As the cool, silver-haired girl climbed to the top of the attic with its round roof in the darkness, Rosie, wearing an oversized wizard's hat, sat in front of a telescope, taking notes with a manuscript as she looked around.

The blue-haired girl turned around at the sound, a slight smile appearing on her face. She then glanced behind her, recalling the name of her other new assistant, "You're here. Where's that person... Cheng Fei?"

"He's dead." Shen Xi's tone was devoid of emotion, as if stating a fact, her small face icy cold.

"Dead?" Rosie's eyes widened slightly, a look of surprise on her face. "Really?"

"Mm." The cool and aloof girl nodded with certainty, her face showing no emotion.

"What exactly happened?" Rose couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Something went wrong, he's dead anyway." Shen Xi seemed unwilling to talk about it anymore, lowering her eyes as she sat down beside her. "Let's get started. How can I help you?"

“Okay, then I’ll teach you the basic observation methods first…” Luo Xi thought for a moment and decided not to ask any more questions. After all, she wasn’t that familiar with these two strangers. Shen Xi was probably in a state of grief, so it would be impolite to ask any more questions.

It's a pity that the world has lost another person interested in stargazing. Thinking of this, Luo Xi silently mourned for the boy who died young.

at the same time.

On the first floor of the corridor, there is a small square with a fountain that never stops.

A haughty girl with long, alluring blood-red hair, dressed in a black combat suit, appeared before the group from the Corridor Research Department and gave a lazy yawn.

"Wow..." Zhou Han stared at her appearance, his round eyes widening, and he opened his mouth slightly to let out a sound of amazement.

"Miss." Ye Shuang stepped forward and bowed her head.

"Where's Cheng Fei?" Lin Xuanqi looked around.

"You're here." The belated young man appeared behind her, subtly glancing at her from head to toe. "Xuanqi, long time no see. You're still as beautiful as ever."

"You're crazy." The arrogant girl rolled her eyes and snorted. "Let's get started. I'll play with you guys and see if your skills have deteriorated."

"How could that be?" The boy shook his head.

At that moment, text appeared before his eyes.
