Mobius raised one finger, puffed out her cheeks, and said with a serious expression, "Call me darling."

Ling Xi: "..."

"Doctor, let me take you back to your room to rest."

Right now, Ling Xi only wanted to get Mobius back to her room as quickly as possible and then slip away. After all, he knew all too well how difficult drunk Mobius could be.

"No, no! Call me darling!"

Mobius decisively shook her head in refusal, looking as though she would not agree unless he called her that.

"Yes, yes... I got it."

Ling Xi could only agree. "Darling... Doctor, let's... go back to your room and rest."

"Hehe..."

Only then did Mobius happily reach out to Ling Xi and smile. "Hold me..."

"As you command, darling... Doctor."

Ling Xi no longer dared refuse any of Mobius's requests. Besides...

Getting drunk from a single liquor-filled chocolate? Doctor, that was seriously ridiculous!

"Hmph hmph..."

Once she was in Ling Xi's arms, Mobius hummed contentedly while Ling Xi hurried upstairs with her.

The laboratory was actually three stories tall. The first floor was the experimental area, while the second and third floors were the living and storage areas.

"Doctor, we're here."

Ling Xi carried Mobius to her room on the second floor and placed her on the bed, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"Mm..."

However, Mobius still looked unwilling.

"Darling Doctor, be good. Let's go to sleep, okay?"

But what else could Ling Xi do when facing a drunk Doctor? He could only coax her. It was not like he could just knock her on the head and make her sleep until morning.

"Sleep?"

Mobius nodded, then directly lay down on the bed...

Ling Xi: "..."

"Doctor, take off your clothes first. You need to take off your coat and shoes."

Ling Xi quickly pulled Mobius back up, intending to remove her white lab coat.

"What are you doing?"

However, Mobius immediately looked guarded and clutched her white coat tightly.

"Taking off your coat so you can sleep."

Ling Xi patiently explained with a smile, "You won't sleep comfortably if you keep your coat on."

"Taking off clothes..."

Mobius suddenly thought of something, then smiled seriously at Ling Xi. "Ling Xi, do you know... how snakes shed their skin?"

"Huh?"

Ling Xi froze. What did that have to do with the current situation?

"Hmph hmph, watch closely, Ling Xi. This move is called... Snake Shedding!"

Mobius suddenly shouted, stripped off her white lab coat, and tossed it into the air...

Do you know what Snake Shedding is? .jpg

Ling Xi: "..."

Forget it. No matter what, she could sleep now that she had taken off her coat...

"Hmph hmph, the snake sheds again!"

At that moment, Mobius shouted again and stripped off her shirt as well. Now, only the final line of defense remained on her upper body.

Ling Xi: "..."

"It's not over yet. The snake's ultimate..."

But Mobius was clearly still not satisfied and intended to shed again...

"Pfft..."

Ling Xi hurriedly pinned down Mobius's hands. "Doctor, you can't shed anymore!"

At that moment, Ling Xi felt like the earth was shaking. Actually, he really wanted Doctor to keep shedding, but...

But if he dared let that happen, he would probably wake up the next day strapped to an operating table and cut into slices!

So...

He could not let her shed anymore!

"Ling Xi!"

Mobius indeed did not continue shedding. Instead, she directly hugged Ling Xi and pounced on him onto the bed. Her generous softness crashed into him without any obstruction. Mm... truly worthy of being a super shock-absorption system.

"Doctor..."

Mobius had suddenly hugged him again. Ling Xi was a little speechless, but he seemed to have gotten used to it. After all... how many times had he held her since last night? He was already used to it, though... every time, he could clearly feel Doctor's formidable combat power.

"Ling Xi... we..."

A gentle smile appeared on Mobius's face. "Let's be together!"

"Doctor, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we..."

Ling Xi gently hugged Mobius and smiled softly. "Aren't we already together?"

"That's not what I mean. I mean..."

Mobius's face was still flushed. She rested her head directly against Ling Xi's shoulder and said with a mischievous smile, "Together in the physical sense, okay? Mm... preferably the kind that goes negative twenty centimeters!"

"Pfft..."

Ling Xi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Doctor, you really thought too highly of him...

Still, Ling Xi was somewhat tempted by Mobius's proposal. After all... with such an amazing Doctor, who would not want to possess her completely?

It was just that... doing that to Doctor while she was drunk would, more or less, count as taking advantage of her, right?

But then again, Mobius was his wife. They had not registered their marriage yet, but that was bound to happen sooner or later. Besides, Doctor herself had said it was fine to get on the train before buying the ticket. In that case...

"Huu..."

"Mm?"

However, Ling Xi suddenly heard Mobius's steady breathing...

Had she... fallen asleep again?

Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, are you doing this on purpose? Last time, you fell asleep at the critical moment on the overpass, and now again...

Forget it. They could talk about it later.

Ling Xi gently picked Mobius up, placed her properly on the bed, tucked her under the blanket, and finally...

Ling Xi could not help but lightly kiss Mobius on the cheek and whisper, "Goodnight, Doctor..."

Finally, Ling Xi silently left the room, not forgetting to close the door behind him...

After Ling Xi left, Mobius groggily opened her eyes. Her face was still slightly flushed as she huffed, "Hmph, coward..."

Seele Would Never Say One Thing and Mean Another!

"Mm, cake, cake, delicious cake, mm..."

The next day, Seele happily enjoyed the cake Ling Xi had bought for her. It was not because there was any special holiday worth celebrating today; she simply liked cake.

"Don't you worry about getting fat from eating so many sweets?"

Ling Xi watched Seele with a smile. For some reason, just watching her eat gave him a sense of satisfaction.

"Hmph. If I get fat, you can just stop wanting me."

Seele merely rolled her eyes at Ling Xi and continued eating her delicious cake. As for getting fat, that was impossible.

"Hehe, forget it. I couldn't bear to give Seele up."

Ling Xi smiled, then said to Seele, "Seele, how about we go out for a walk after you finish eating?"

"Mm? Right now?"

Seele paused and looked at Ling Xi curiously.

"Mm, right now."

Ling Xi smiled faintly. "There's a commercial street next to the academy. I suddenly realized I haven't been there in a long time, so why don't we go take a look now? We can pick up a few things too."

"Mm... okay. But we have to get back before class starts."

Seele had no reason to refuse Ling Xi's invitation. Although skipping her noon break might make her sleepy in the afternoon, she did not want to turn him down either. After all... the two of them really did not have many chances to talk or spend time together.

Basically, they could only meet at noon every day. In the afternoon, Ling Xi had to work for that Mobius. Only on the occasional days when they both had afternoon classes could they have dinner together.

So now that Ling Xi had taken the initiative to invite her, Seele did not refuse.

"Don't worry. We're only going to browse around the mall and buy a few things. It won't take much time."

Ling Xi only smiled at that. It seemed that asking Seele out was already very easy now. At this rate, winning Seele over was only a matter of time. It was just that...

Ling Xi remembered last night's Snake Shedding...

A short while later, the two arrived at an international shopping mall in Changkong City...

"Seele, do you like this?"

In the accessories section, Ling Xi noticed Seele staring at a necklace.

"Like it?"

Seele shook her head and smiled. "I wouldn't say I like it. I just think it looks nice."

"Then should I buy one for you?"

Ling Xi asked casually.

"Forget it. How dumb would you have to be to spend several thousand on something like this?"

Seele rolled her eyes at Ling Xi and huffed, "Forget several thousand. Give me a hundred, and I can buy you ten of these online. They'd all be fake, but I guarantee they'd look just as pretty as the real thing. There are even several different styles."

"Uh... all right. You have a point."

Ling Xi felt that Seele made a lot of sense...

"All right, stop looking around here. I really don't like this stuff. If you want to give me something, you'd be better off giving me snacks worth the same amount. Let's go!"

Perhaps afraid Ling Xi might suddenly lose his mind one day and actually buy one for her, Seele hurriedly took his hand and pulled him in another direction. "Let's see what delicious food there is instead."

"Yes, yes, whatever Seele says."

Hearing Seele's tsundere words, Ling Xi looked at her affectionately. He did not resist and simply let Seele lead him onward. Ahead was the food section.

"Say, didn't we buy a little too much?"

After leaving the supermarket, Seele looked at all the bags Ling Xi was carrying and was immediately left speechless. She had said she wanted to buy some food, but...

She had only wanted enough for one day. She had not asked Ling Xi to buy her a year's supply.

"It's simple. We don't usually come here to shop, and on weekends, although we can take the chance to shop, I don't want to walk around carrying so many things either, so..."

Ling Xi smiled calmly. "Why not just buy more at once? Then we won't have to come buy more every time we want something to eat."

"But this is way too much..."
