The setting sun outside the window surged through the clouds, its crimson glow entwined with a tender, ambiguous allure.
Lu Shizhen watched as Xu Shiyue's figure leaned towards her, and forced herself to remain calm as she echoed, "Yes, right? This kind of thing should be hidden away secretly."
As she spoke, she secretly reached out, intending to retrieve and destroy her tools of the crime without leaving a trace.
But before he could sneakily reach out, Xu Shiyue grabbed his hand.
The fingers, still slightly cool from being wet, gently caressed Lu Shizhen's fingers as they slipped between hers.
Xu Shiyue took the tablet back from the bedside table and said thoughtfully, "I remember Teacher Sixteen saying that she really likes reading, and it turns out it's true. Teacher Sixteen really has a wide range of interests. She not only likes transmigration novels and infinite flow novels, but also likes this kind of... documentary."
When Lu Shizhen heard Xu Shiyue's last sentence, her already flushed face turned even redder.
She never imagined that simply wanting to explore the unknown would lead to her being caught. Forcing a smile, she said, "No, it's just my first time..."
Xu Shiyue, however, seemed unconcerned by Lu Shizhen's explanation, and instead began reading the book on Lu Shizhen's tablet with great interest: "Chen Niang's clothes were completely loosened, revealing her fragrant shoulders..."
"!"
Lu Shizhen never expected that Xu Shiyue would not only read it aloud, but also read it aloud.
When words are transformed into sound, the private, secret appreciation transforms into a sense of shame.
The calmer and colder Xu Shiyue's voice was, the more ambiguous the text seemed. Lu Shizhen called out "Xu Shiyue" and tried to snatch the tablet from Xu Shiyue's hand.
But Xu Shiyue seemed to have anticipated this, dodging her movement and continuing to read while offering her approval: "This author's writing is really good, better than many authors. Jin Xiao leaned down and kissed her neck, while his hand..."
As someone who had just explored this new world word by word, Lu Shizhen certainly knew how provocative the place Xu Shiyue was about to read was.
At this moment, Lu Shizhen no longer cared about restraint and politeness, and leaned over to use the most direct method to control Xu Shiyue under her.
"Xu Shiyue, stop reading!"
The soft mattress stirred with a flurry of air, casting the shadow of the setting sun above Xu Shiyue's line of sight.
Despite speaking in a superior and authoritative tone, her face flushed red with embarrassment long before she met him face to face.
Xu Shiyue's wrist was held in Lu Shizhen's hand, and the tablet she was holding fell onto the bed.
Lying flat on her back, she looked up at the person who had restrained her, her gaze deliberately provocative. With her thin lips slightly parted, she recounted to Lu Shizhen from memory, "Her eyes reddened, and her whole body went limp in Jin Xiao's hands..."
Whether this was Xu Shiyue's purpose or not, before she could finish speaking, Lu Shizhen kissed her directly.
Because it was to stop her from continuing, Lu Shizhen's kiss was a bit fierce.
Without any tentative kisses or caresses, the incoming air rushed straight to the point, sweeping across Xu Shiyue's mouth, washing over the base of her tongue, sending wave after wave of tingling sensations through her.
Not long after the kiss, Xu Shiyue felt Lu Shizhen's hand gently supporting her sunken back.
The calluses on the person's hands were clearly visible through the thin fabric, and the gentle caresses hooked into her nerve endings, making her already succumbing body even weaker.
But this person's arm was wrapped around her, and she couldn't escape. Instead, she was supported and moved even closer to the person's embrace.
Not only is there no way to escape now, but because of this incredibly close proximity, they are also completely exposed to each other's temperature and warmth.
She was surrounded by Lu Shizhen's scent.
Moreover, this time, the scent in this room wasn't just Lu Shizhen's.
And this person.
Whether it was the environment or the book, Xu Shiyue seemed to succumb to Lu Shizhen's kiss faster this time than ever before.
Her once clear eyes were now misty, and her hands, which had been released, dazedly reached up to Lu Shizhen's neck.
Her usually ramrod straight back relaxed as Lu Shizhen touched Xu Shiyue's waist, which was slumped in her palm, and suddenly remembered the words from the book she had just read.
She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but suddenly Lu Shizhen's head seemed to snap to attention, as if she understood something. She parted slightly from Xu Shiyue and whispered in her ear, "Xu Shiyue, you seem to have gone soft too."
Xu Shiyue, panting heavily, still had her arms wrapped around Lu Shizhen's neck. Before she could catch her breath, she said, "Teacher Sixteen has a good kissing technique."
Lu Shizhen relaxed a bit and leaned close to Xu Shiyue, saying, "That's how you'll be too tired to continue reading."
Xu Shiyue wrinkled her nose slightly: "Teacher Sixteen is so stingy, he's unwilling to share good things."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyue felt her arms, which had loosened their grip slightly, tighten even more.
His knees pressed down over the hem of her skirt, which sagged in the middle, and the cool fabric outlined her long legs as it rested against her bent knees.
"Then I'll kiss you a little longer, so you can see how magnanimous I am."
As she spoke, Lu Shizhen leaned down and boldly pressed her lips against Xu Shiyue's...
"Host--"
But before this audacity could even begin, it was interrupted by a sudden, intrusive voice.
Qiuqiu was completely oblivious to the atmosphere in the room that was different from other times. She looked like she had gone through countless hardships and said in a tearful voice, "Waaaaah... Host, do you know that I almost didn't get to see you again just now?"
"Do you know that there was an external force repelling me just now? It took me a lot of effort to break through the barrier and get back to you! Ten sausages can't make up for the danger I just went through!"
As Qiuqiu was recounting her experiences along the way, she suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed to have become quiet.
The little ball, its eyes brimming with tears, wiped them from its face and saw Lu Shizhen kneeling on the bed with an extremely pale expression, with Xu Shiyue lying beneath her.
Xu Shiyue...
Xu Shiyue!
The female lead!
Qiuqiu's face was full of shock.
It was only gone for a little over a day, how... how could it be like this...?
As if its CPU was about to burn out, or because it had seen something it shouldn't have, or perhaps both, the floating ball, its entire body flashing red light, became stuck in mid-air and completely motionless.
Xu Shiyue lowered her eyes, a hint of displeasure on her face, and asked Lu Shizhen, "What was it saying just now?"
Lu Shizhen remained calm, turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed, simply summarizing, "It's crying, saying that it was resisted by a force and almost couldn't come back to my side."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyue paused, then said thoughtfully, "I see."
Lu Shizhen was puzzled when she heard Xu Shiyue's words: "What do you mean?"
"I had a feeling that something was trying to break in, so I fought against that force for a while," Xu Shiyue explained calmly. "I thought it was your boss causing trouble again, but it turned out to be just your cat."
Qiuqiu had just recovered from the shock when she heard Xu Shiyue's words.
A shock surged through its body, even more intense than before, and it stammered, "Host... what is Xu Shiyue saying? I don't understand... she, she... she can..."
Lu Shizhen listened to Qiuqiu's stammering words and nodded before it could finish speaking: "She can see you. But she can't hear you and will have tinnitus."
The shocking wave knocked Qiuqiu off balance, the entire ball dazzlingly bright.
Even in the system's vast database, it had never seen anything like this before.
Therefore, those two conversations in the car and on the plane were not simply Xu Shiyue's words to her cat.
It's not that it's targeting itself.
That's why she, someone who never says anything superfluous, would say those things to herself.
Rigorous logic is indeed self-consistent.
Yet, beneath this rigorous logic, Qiuqiu felt a terrifyingly powerful sensation.
As expected of the strongest Black Moonlight, it's terrifying!
That's terrifying!!
Just as Qiuqiu was trying to process this once-in-a-billion-years event, Xu Shiyue looked at it and asked, "So do you have a way to solve my tinnitus problem?"
Xu Shiyue's gaze was calm, and her voice was as cold as ever.
Her words sounded like a question, but they were more like an instruction given to Qiuqiu.
Whether it was her own will or subconscious obedience, Qiuqiu immediately brought up her system after hearing Xu Shiyue's words. After a series of operations, she respectfully and obsequiously asked Xu Shiyue, "Can you hear me now?"
Hearing the voice in her ear, which was more realistic than the AI created by Lu Shien, Xu Shiyue nodded, "It's fine. Thank you."
"No need, no need." Qiuqiu waved her hands repeatedly, fawning over Lu Shizhen despite her disgusted look, "As long as your tinnitus doesn't get worse, it's fine."
This was the first time Xu Shiyue had examined this artificial intelligence so closely this year. She didn't know where she'd learned her mischievousness from, but she reached out and hooked Qiuqiu's drooping tail, commenting, "Hard?"
All tails are sensitive, and the cyber tail is no exception.
All sorts of subtle sensations converged on the point where Xu Shiyue had hooked her. Qiuqiu didn't dare to pull her tail out at all, and said with reluctance, "It can also soften."
After saying that, Xu Shiyue felt the wire on her hand, which was somewhat like a wire, turn into the tail of an animal, so soft that it felt like blood was flowing through it: "This feels much better."
Xu Shiyue commented, raising her eyes and twirling Qiuqiu's tail with interest.
The setting sun cast a pale orange hue into her eyes, gentle on the surface but concealing a deep, dark depth beneath, a void from which no one could glimpse anything.
She seemed genuinely interested in Qiuqiu's tail, holding onto it tightly and refusing to let go, even fiddling with the tip of its tail.
But Qiuqiu had never been played like this by Lu Shizhen in all these years. The tail, which had gathered hundreds of millions of electrons, kept fluctuating with current, and the transparent, shimmering golden sphere slowly began to turn red again.
Lu Shizhen seemed to realize what Xu Shiyue was doing. Seeing Qiuqiu's expression, she quickly came to its rescue and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Qiuqiu, why did you come back so quickly? Were you detected and intercepted by the main system, and then sent back?"
"Of course not." Qiuqiu retorted, immediately and casually pulling her tail out of Xu Shiyue's hand and flying to Lu Shizhen's side. "Host, don't think of me as such a weakling, okay?"
"The main system told me that the main god had issued a punishment notice to the host that had to be carried out immediately, so I rushed back as fast as I could, but I was still too late." Qiuqiu said, looking a little dejected, but then her mood brightened. "However, I saw that you redeemed the body rehabilitation project, so I felt relieved."
Qiuqiu's narrative style remained as startling as ever. Lu Shizhen listened and skillfully caught the key point: "The main system? You met it?"
"No, actually it noticed me..." Qiuqiu scratched her head with her tail, embarrassed.
As it fidgeted, it suddenly seemed to have almost forgotten something, and its tail, which was scratching its head, abruptly slapped its own forehead with a "Ouch!"
The setting sun burned ever brighter in the sky, as if trying to drag the whole world into a crimson hue.
Qiuqiu floated between Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue, looking at the two sitting in front of her with great seriousness, and said, "The main system told me that it wants to meet with the host and Xu Shiyue."
