Night Raid

Midnight, and the villa finally returned to silence.

Lianfeng left, her mind filled with complex thoughts and a preliminary intention for "Pangu Civilization technical exchange."

Regarding Su Xiao Li, the Super Seminary would inevitably continue to pay attention, but this was no longer something Si Yao needed to worry about.

To him, Su Xiao Li was indeed, as he had said, more like a "pet" he had adopted on a whim.

This label was not malicious. To him, the status of a pet was already far above those Earth monkeys.

If this "pet" was well-behaved and sensible, he wouldn't mind letting her stay. If she ever felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave, he would absolutely not stop her.

All choices belonged to her.

For now, he had more important matters to focus on: digesting the fragmented information about the underlying algorithm of "God-Slaying Power" that he had subtly obtained from Lianfeng, and combining it with his existing knowledge to further refine his concept for the "Blood Spear's" kill module.

At the same time, he needed to weave more, more influential "lies" to acquire massive True Points, preparing for the potential future threat of the "Void," which even he felt apprehension towards.

As for other trivial matters, they could be put aside for now.

After organizing his thoughts, Si Yao returned to his bedroom to rest.

However, as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he found that Su Xiao Li, who was supposed to be resting in the guest room, was waiting in his room.

She was still wearing that black and white maid outfit, her hands nervously twisting in front of her, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural redness, her gaze evasive yet tinged with a resolute desperation.

Seeing Si Yao enter, she took a deep breath and quickly said, as if reciting lines: "B-Boss! Since... since you're supporting me, then... then I definitely have to do those... those things within my duties. I... I have no experience, but my learning ability is very strong! I, I'll improve very quickly!"

Si Yao: "..."

He looked at Su Xiao Li's death-defying expression, as if she were about to make a heroic sacrifice, and was utterly speechless.

What was this little fox thinking about all day? Did he look like someone impatient?

"Go change into normal clothes," Si Yao rubbed his glabella, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue, trying to tactfully end this farce. "Then go back to your own room to rest."

However, Su Xiao Li clearly misunderstood his meaning. Her eyes blinked, and a "I understand" expression appeared on her face. She quickly nodded: "Okay, Boss! I'll go change right away!"

After speaking, she ran out of the master bedroom like a gust of wind.

Si Yao couldn't be bothered to guess her erratic thoughts. He went straight into the bathroom to take a shower and changed into comfortable pajamas.

When he walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair, he found that Su Xiao Li had already returned, and... had changed her attire again.

This time, it was a so-called "pure university student" outfit—a plaid skirt, a white shirt, a bow tie, and even a pair of plain glasses.

However, when worn by her, combined with her deliberately feigned shy yet seductive gaze, it looked more like some kind of role-play lingerie. And she clearly hadn't understood the temperament of a "university student" at all; her actions and demeanor were still the same seductive style from her streams.

"Boss... is this... okay?" Su Xiao Li tried hard to blink her big eyes, attempting to look more "pure."

Si Yao looked at the little fox in front of him, who had never even entered a university but was insisting on playing the role of a pure junior schoolmate, and a deep sense of helplessness washed over him.

This situation... why did it feel like this little fox was treating him as "prey" that she needed to "work hard to please" to secure her status?

"Go take a shower," Si Yao said lightly. "Then, get back to your own room and sleep. Don't bother me."

Su Xiao Li looked at Si Yao's ice-cold face and finally realized that the boss seemed genuinely... uninterested in her "dedication," and even somewhat annoyed.

A sense of frustration and grievance welled up in her heart. She pouted and softly replied, "Oh...", then dejectedly retreated from the master bedroom.

The world was finally quiet.

Si Yao lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink deep within, beginning to analyze and reconstruct the fragmented information about the God-Slaying Weapon's algorithm.

However, just as he was about to enter a state of deep meditation, the bedroom door was pushed open again, very lightly.

A fresh scent after a shower wafted in.

Si Yao didn't open his eyes, but he could feel Su Xiao Li, like a kitten, tiptoeing to the bedside, then carefully lifting a corner of the quilt and crawling in, curling up beside him.

She didn't dare to get too close, only opening a pair of eyes that seemed exceptionally bright in the darkness, timidly and expectantly gazing at his close side profile, her breathing extremely light, as if waiting for his next command, or... simply begging for tacit permission to stay.

Si Yao sighed in his heart.

This little fox's understanding of "being supported" was truly... persistent and one-sidedly adorable.

But his mind was currently filled with anti-dark singularity effects and parameter adjustments for Delta Radiation, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with this inexplicable "night raid."

He still didn't open his eyes or move. "Be quiet."

This seemed to be interpreted by Su Xiao Li as tacit approval.

She immediately let out a small "Mm," then tried to shrink herself even smaller, almost holding her breath, lying motionlessly beside him. Only her big eyes continued to stare at him, unblinking, in the darkness.

Si Yao couldn't be bothered to drive her away anymore. To him, having a warm, quiet "bolster" beside him or not did not affect his rest or his thoughts.

The morning sunlight was blocked by the heavy curtains, and the bedroom remained dim and quiet, suitable for sleep.

Si Yao's consciousness was immersed in the construction of complex energy models, with Su Xiao Li's even and shallow breathing beside him.

After a night of "boldness" and the final tacitly approved "sharing the same bed," this little fox seemed to have finally found some sense of security, sleeping exceptionally soundly. She even unconsciously nuzzled closer to Si Yao, causing her pajama strap to slip, revealing a patch of fair skin and delicate collarbones.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

From the direction of the glass door leading to the balcony, there was a sudden, sharp "swish"—the heavy curtain was abruptly pulled open from the outside!

The dazzling sunlight instantly flooded the room, completely dispelling the darkness.

Si Yao's brow furrowed instantly, and he opened his eyes in displeasure.

Outside the balcony, three angels with snow-white wings and graceful figures were hovering. The blonde angel Yan, who was leading, wore her usual slightly teasing smile, while the other two, Angel Chase and Angel Mo Yi, had relatively calm expressions.

Their gazes first fell on Si Yao, then naturally shifted to Su Xiao Li, who was curled up beside him, frowning slightly from the sudden light, her clothes disheveled.

The gazes of the three angels instantly became somewhat strange.

Angel Yan's eyebrows rose slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a meaningful arc.

Angel Chase and Mo Yi subconsciously averted their eyes, as if feeling it was improper to look.

Although they had lived for thousands of years and had seen the customs of countless civilizations, they had no intention of judging such "consensual" private matters themselves, but... arriving uninvited early in the morning and seeing such a "bright spring" scene, they ultimately felt it was a bit... abrupt.

Angel Yan was about to say something teasing, like "It seems we've come at the wrong time?"

But before her words could come out, she was interrupted by Si Yao's action.

Si Yao, too lazy to even lift his eyelids, merely waved his hand casually and impatiently towards the balcony.

Instantly, a pure and solid white light surged out of nowhere, condensing into an impenetrable light wall outside the balcony's glass door!

This light wall not only completely blocked the view from outside but also concealed sound and aura, as if the entire balcony had been erased from the world.

The three angels, who were ready to watch the show, were instantly left with nothing but a dazzling white, with the bedroom, Si Yao, and the disheveled Su Xiao Li all disappearing.

The smile on Angel Yan's face froze. She could even feel the cold, rejecting aura emanating from the light wall, a "stay away" feeling.

"Yan Jie, I told you this was impolite," Angel Chase couldn't help but complain.

"You're invading their privacy."

Angel Yan felt a bit awkward. "How was I supposed to know that after only a few days apart, he'd found himself a little girlfriend?"
