"Teacher Shen, don't you think you're really too abnormal?!" The boy looked at her, stunned.
"What baseless slander are they making now?!"
"You want me to visit her when she's sick, but then you think it's my fault that she has problems? Just how controlling are you?!"
"What's the problem? First of all, no one asked you to visit her. Your task was to test her abilities. It would be best if she were half-dead at home. But if you think something must be going to happen just because of that, then Cheng Feiyu has something to hide!" The girl was a little annoyed and kicked him hard.
"Um, you two, although I don't want to disturb you, it would be better if we could exchange pleasantries somewhere else?" A familiar voice rang out casually.
The two, who had been staring at each other for a while, turned around and saw Nagasaki Asuna and Yeshuang standing beside them, probably having just come out of the classroom.
In the bustling corridor after school, a strange conversation between a boy and a girl attracted the gossipy attention of many students.
The four of them moved to a secluded spot and had a brief conversation.
"I see." Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip, nodding as if she understood, then looked to the side, "So the first question is, is Lin-san actually sick at home?"
Ye Shuang, who was being watched, opened her mouth and nodded, "Miss didn't come because her cold got worse."
"Cheng Feiyu, did you hear that? Hurry up and go." Shen Xi kicked the boy without any politeness.
"Teacher Shen, why don't you go yourself?" the boy asked righteously.
"Why should I go?" the aloof girl asked coldly.
"You're her cousin, so I can go visit her, and then I'll go home and cooperate with your test. Is that alright?"
“No way. I have no interest in visiting that madwoman, and she might not even cooperate if I go.” Shen Xi turned her face away abruptly.
“Then Master Ye will go.” The boy’s gaze shifted.
"Me?" Ye Shuang was stunned.
“That’s right, it’s perfect for you, as a loyal maid, to visit her and complete Teacher Shen’s task at the same time.” The boy nodded.
The obedient girl was about to nod without hesitation when she suddenly jolted, took a half-step back, and exclaimed, "I'm not going!"
"Say it again?" The boy looked genuinely shocked, pointing at her. "You heartless Ye Xiaoshuang, Lin Xuanqi just fell ill and you're already turning your back on her?"
"I'm not!" Ye Shuang panicked and hid behind Nagasaki Asuna, as if she were the weak one. She then glared at the boy and said, "You scumbag, hurry up and go. You can visit Miss here."
"No, I'm ordering you to go. Do you want to be punished?" the boy said, emphasizing his tone.
"What right do you have to punish me? You already did that yesterday." The obedient girl's voice trembled slightly, as if she was recalling something unpleasant. Her eyes reddened, and she swallowed hard.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, her suspicious gaze shifting back and forth, emanating a faint chill from her body.
Asuna Nagasaki, with her hands behind her back, casually admires the scenery.
Cheng Fei's expression hardened, and his gaze shifted again. "Nana, then you go."
"Huh? I'm visiting Lin?" The sweet girl pointed to herself, stunned.
“Yes, she treated you to dinner last time, you should go and return the favor.” The boy nodded seriously.
"This..." Nagasaki Asuna pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. "It feels a bit strange for me to go, but since it's Cheng Fei's order, umm..."
"Nana, no, don't agree to him!" Ye Shuang quickly covered her mouth.
Nagasaki Asuna turned her pleading gaze to the boy.
"You scumbag, hurry up and go, or I'll..." Ye Shuang stomped her foot, her eyes flickering, then her clear voice rose in a tearful tone, with a sense of utter despair, "I'll never do that kind of thing with Nana again, even if it kills me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the air in the deserted corner froze for a second.
Asuna Nagasaki's expression became subtle. She pursed her pink lips, cast her gaze into the distance, put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, and began to hum a song in an innocent manner.
Shen Xi frowned, first looking at the three of them with a puzzled expression, then seemed to sense something, took a deep breath, her flat chest heaving slightly, and lowered her eyes, "Cheng Fei, what did you ask them to do for you? Explain."
His calm voice betrayed no emotion, yet a chilling undercurrent seemed to be brewing within it.
"Teacher Shen, I'm heading over now. You should hurry home and get ready too. Let's get this project done as soon as possible. We won't talk about those unimportant details." The boy finished speaking in one breath, put his hands in his pockets, turned around and left, walking away as fast as lightning.
Shen Xi stared at his retreating figure until it disappeared, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Then she looked to the side, as if asking about something trivial, "You vixens, what did you do to help that scoundrel?"
Ye Shuang's ears instantly turned blood red, as if she had been caught doing something terribly wrong. She buried her head and bit her lip tightly, staring straight at the ground, as if she had stopped breathing.
Asuna Nagasaki glanced at her companion behind her, twirling a strand of hair with her fingertips, her eyes darting around. "Well, it's nothing really, it's just the two of us doing this together?"
As the sweet girl spoke, she made a grasping motion with her small hands in front of her, nodded her head back and forth, and looked innocent and naive.
Shen Xi was first puzzled, then her pupils contracted.
……
Regardless, Cheng Fei drove his GLS, heading towards South Bay after a long absence.
At the secluded gate of the manor, the young man parked his car, rolled down the window, and said nonchalantly, "Just let Lin Xuanqi know I'm here, or better yet, it's best if you don't want to."
The man in black on guard saw his familiar face and silently picked up the walkie-talkie to speak.
Soon, the GLS was given permission to pass, bypassing the fountain with bull sculptures and stopping in front of the palatial villa.
Cheng Fei got out of the car, looked up, and felt a completely different sensation upon returning to this place.
Two maids opened the door to greet him respectfully, "Miss, please go straight upstairs."
The boy nodded casually, climbed to the second floor of the villa, arrived at the suite door, knocked on the door, waited a moment, and when he received no response, he simply turned the doorknob and went inside.
The quiet room was no different from before, with the bedroom door tightly closed.
He stepped forward and knocked again. This time, a faint response came from inside, and the boy pushed the door open and entered.
On the luxurious bed, a haughty young woman with cascading black hair sat against the headboard, covered by a blanket with only her listless, charming face showing.
Medicine bottles hung on a support frame by the bed, with a plastic tube leading to the back of the girl's hand, which was covered with medical tape. The transparent liquid in the dropper could be seen dripping at a constant rate.
Cheng Fei stood before her, looking down at her from above.
"Honey, the injection really hurts." Lin Xuanqi blinked at him, her eyebrows drooping, her eyes red and lacking their usual sparkle, her voice weak and feeble.
"A short pain is worse than a long one. If I had hit him yesterday, I might not be in so much pain." The boy looked around and went to get himself a chair.
"But I'm really afraid of pain," the haughty girl said softly, her tone tinged with grievance.
"I've never seen you so scared before," the boy said casually, placing a chair on the edge of the bed and sitting down.
"I'm only not afraid of the pain my husband inflicts." Lin Xuanqi stared at him intently.
The boy looked her over, frowning. "What are you so happy about?"
"Of course I'm happy that my husband came to visit me, hehe." The arrogant girl's lips curved into a wider smile, though her expression was still not quite relaxed.
"Excuse me, I'm here today to complete Shen Xi's mission." The young man said coldly.
"Her mission?" Lin Xuanqi asked, puzzled.
"She wants to test your abilities from a distance, so it's perfect that you're at home." The boy said, taking a tablet out of his bag.
"Well," Lin Xuanqi's eyes lit up, a hint of eagerness in them, "what's the reward if I cooperate?"
"Fine, if you don't want to, then goodbye." The boy packed his things and stood up in a second.
"Hey! Honey, don't go! I was wrong, okay?" The haughty girl was so anxious that she wanted to get up. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the boy sit down again. She pursed her lips and said, "As long as it's my husband, of course you can test me however you want."
"Then let's hurry." Cheng Fei opened his tablet expressionlessly.
“But honey, I’m feeling dizzy right now, so the test might not be accurate. Could you bring me some water over there so I can have a sip?” Lin Xuanqi gestured to the bedside table.
The boy noticed a kettle and a glass with a straw over there. He poured her some water in a businesslike manner, then handed her the glass, saying, "Here you go."
"I don't have any hands right now, could you please have my husband bring it over for me to drink?" The girl blinked but didn't move, looking completely innocent.
"Tsk." The boy made an annoyed sound, then temporarily held the cup to her lips, letting her bite the straw to drink the water. After she took a few sips and was satisfied, he put it back in its place.
"Okay, let's begin." The boy sent a video call invitation to Shen Xi using his tablet.
The call connected quickly. The aloof young woman appeared to be sitting on a sofa, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking down at the camera.
"Teacher Shen, I'm in position and ready to start the test at any time," the boy said earnestly.
"Cheng Fei! Isn't it great to have that vixen and Ye Shuang help you realize those filthy, shameful fantasies?!" Extremely displeased words came through the internet.
The haughty girl lying on the edge of the bed also heard the sound and looked at him thoughtfully.
"Teacher Shen, I'm next to Lin Xuanqi." The boy gestured towards the camera.
"Trash, I'll settle accounts with you at the next meeting!" the person on the other end said through gritted teeth.
"Teacher Shen, let's hurry up and finish work so I can go home for dinner," the boy said helplessly.
"Let her guess the numbers like last time, you vixen, come here." The other person took a deep breath and gave a cold order, bringing Nagasaki Asuna into the frame.
"Did you hear that?" Cheng Fei looked at Lin Xuanqi.
The haughty girl nodded her head repeatedly.
So the test officially began. Apart from being separated by a network cable, it was not much different from yesterday. Nagasaki Asuna was in charge of rolling the dice and recording the results, while Lin Xuanqi was in charge of guessing.
The arrogant girl lay motionless in her spot, looking completely at ease.
When she had repeated it a hundred times and gotten it all right, Shen Xi interrupted, "You vixen, go to your bedroom and shake it. Then come back and let her guess."
"Okay?" Nagasaki Asuna stepped out of the frame, then reappeared a moment later. "Lin-san, I've shaken it. Let's continue guessing?"
They conducted another hundred tests in this way, and all of them were still correct.
Lin Xuanqi lay on the headboard with her eyes slightly closed, yawning as if she was not surprised at all.
"Teacher Shen, is it over?" Cheng Fei, who had been holding the tablet the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xi frowned, pinched her chin, and pondered for a moment. "Continue, you vixen, let's go somewhere else."
At her command, Nagasaki Asuna left and didn't return for quite some time. She looked at the camera empty-handed and asked, "Lin-san, guess again?"
"Five o'clock," Lin Xuanqi said lazily.
"Huh, is there a mistake?" came a hesitant voice from the other end.
"How is that possible?" Lin Xuanqi was stunned and looked at the tablet.
Cheng Fei, who was watching from the sidelines, also looked surprised. "Teacher Shen, where did you roll the dice?"
The aloof girl ignored him, only a confident smile playing on her lips as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "You vixen, go shake it over there again."
When Nagasaki Asuna reappeared, Lin Xuanqi gave the answer without hesitation.
"Wrong again?" Nagasaki Asuna looked surprised.
"This is impossible!" The arrogant girl's expression turned incredulous, her sharp gaze piercing the screen. "You didn't even roll the dice, Shen Xi, are you kidding me?!"
"Um, Lin, I really did go try it, but the place was a bit unusual?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.
"Fine, I'm furious. Lin, it seems you're nothing special. The test ends here." The aloof girl sneered, with a victor's air. She paused, then raised her voice slightly, "Cheng Fei, you can leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly ended the video call.
Lin Xuanqi was still staring at the screen when she came to her senses after a few seconds. She opened her mouth and looked at the boy cautiously, "Honey, did you steal my luck again?"
"You're crazy. I've never stolen anything from you, thank you." The boy rolled his eyes and put away his tablet.
"Then why did I guess wrong?" The arrogant girl stared intently at him, her eyes filled with deep doubt.
"How should I know? Anyway, that's all. Goodbye." The boy packed his things, got up and left without hesitation.
"Are you leaving already? Can you stay with me a little longer?" Lin Xuanqi said hurriedly.
"I'm in a hurry. I wish you a speedy recovery." The boy said without turning his head.
"Husband, don't go yet!" The arrogant young woman hurriedly propped herself up.
"Nobody here is your husband, thank you." The boy opened the door and walked out.
"Cheng Fei! I beg you—"
Immediately following these words, a muffled thud echoed from the bedroom, followed by a girl's painful groan.
The boy turned around and saw that Lin Xuanqi had probably tried to get out of bed to chase him but fell down, causing the medicine bottle holder to overturn and the medicine bottle to break and spill all over the floor.
974. Lin Xuanqi recovered from her illness.
"There isn't much medicine left, so it's okay if we stop the IV drip. You don't need to take the fever reducer anymore. We'll decide on the medication after taking your temperature this morning. Get some rest tonight."
