Now that he knew the whole story, Ling Xi naturally stopped being wary of Ying, since that arrow had proven that Ying meant him no harm.

"Um... no, no need."

After a pause, Sakura still chose to refuse, "I've already caused you so much trouble, how can I trouble you any more? I'll sleep here."

At this moment, Sakura was in Laboratory Number Four, which had two hospital beds. Danzhu Cangxuan would occasionally slack off and rest here, so it was fine to use it for resting, but... the beds were a bit hard.

"It's okay. If it weren't for you tonight, I might have been killed without even knowing why, so..."

Ling Xi reached out and grabbed Ying's wrist, laughing, "Don't be so polite with me. This place is so hard, how can you sleep? Come with me, I'll take you to my room, where the bed is already made up."

As she spoke, Ling Xi gently tugged at Ying and said with a smile, "Come down first, do you want me to help you?"

"Uh... that... how can that be?"

Sakura was clearly still somewhat resistant, after all, it was Ling Xi's room, and if she used it, what would happen to Ling Xi?

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Ling Xi clearly misunderstood Ying's meaning and smiled slightly, "I just made the bed today, and the bedding is all new. I haven't used it yet, so you don't have to worry about my smell."

"Eh... I'm not..."

Ying realized that Ling Xi had misunderstood her and hurriedly tried to explain, but Ling Xi had already taken her hand and carefully helped her off the hospital bed...

Cherry"..."

Helpless, Ying could only follow Ling Xi's wishes and leave Laboratory No. 4 with Ling Xi.

After walking into the lobby, Sakura observed the surrounding environment. First, this was the laboratory of the First Research Institute of Changkong City. Although it was her first time here, she recognized it.

With Ling Xi's careful assistance, Ying arrived at the second floor, and Ling Xi opened the door to a room.

"Sakura, this is my room. Please make do for tonight, and we'll meet again tomorrow..."

Ling Xi stroked her chin and smiled, "I'll have the Doctor arrange a place for you to stay tomorrow. In short, stay here for now until your injury is fully healed."

"Um... thank you."

Sakura really wanted to refuse, since Ling was still at home, but considering that she had already troubled Ling Xi with so many things, and that it was already so late, she felt too embarrassed to ask, so she decided to wait until tomorrow.

"Sakura, you should get some rest. Goodnight."

After helping Sakura sit on the bed, Ling Xi decided to leave. It was almost 2 a. m., and he was really sleepy.

"Hmm... where do you sleep?"

Sakura couldn't help but ask the question, after all, she had taken over Ling Xi's room and bed.

"Me? Of course I am..."

Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to answer, "Of course I'll go and sleep with my Doctor!", but after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a place to sleep. If all else fails, the sofa in the living room is fine too. Okay, goodnight!"

After saying that, Ling Xi decided to slip away because she was really sleepy!

"Um... how about I..."

Sakura really wanted to suggest that they make do, but she hesitated before she could say it. Besides... Ling Xi had already left the room and closed the door.

Cherry"..."

"Why..."

In the end, Sakura could only sigh helplessly. Today... was truly a magical day.

"Haaah..."

The next morning, Mobius woke up on time as usual. Although she had been woken up once the night before, her biological clock still woke her up on time.

"Mmm..."

Mobius subconsciously tried to sit up, but...

"Huh?"

She suddenly realized that she was being hugged, with a hand on her waist, and at the same time... there was also a hand where her heart was.

Mobius, "..." When did this bastard arrive? Did he do anything while I was asleep?

Mobius flipped over, intending to kick the guy awake, but...

Looking at Ling Xi's sleeping face, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him, after all... this guy was her assistant and guinea pig.

"Ugh... How stupid!"

Looking at Ling Xi's sleeping face, Mobius couldn't help but laugh out loud. This guy looks quite handsome, but he looks a bit silly when he's asleep.

Besides, this guy is even younger than me. Although that's not a big problem, but...

According to my investigation, this guy seems to prefer humans in their semi-juvenile form, such as Seele Klein. Hmph... this guy.

Mobius couldn't resist pinching Ling Xi's nose...

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi suddenly felt a tickle in her nose and reached up to touch it...

Achoo...

Then, a sneeze echoed through the sky, and Ling Xi was fully awake...

"Hey... Doctor, good morning!"

Upon waking up, the first thing Ling Xi saw was her Doctor.

Mobius "..."

"Fool..."

Mobius was too lazy to even comment; this time... he had dug his own grave.

However, Mobius didn't bother with these questions anymore and asked directly, "Why aren't you sleeping in your own room? Why are you in my room?"

"Because I gave my room to Sakura."

Ling Xi's face also showed a hint of embarrassment as she said, "Well, after all, Ying is injured, and it would probably be very uncomfortable for her to sleep on the bed in the lab, so I lent her my room to rest, therefore..."

Ling Xi reached out and hugged Mobius, pulling him close, and said with a smile, "I can only turn to my dearest Doctor wife for help."

"Hmph, you gave her your room, you're really good to her, aren't you?"

However, Mobius wasn't buying it, and scoffed, "So, are you going to help me change my bandages, take care of me, and then slowly develop feelings for me?"

"Uh... how is that possible?"

Ling Xi was speechless and said with a wry smile, "I only know Ying by name. Besides, it's not that I'm being nice to her. I just want to take care of her. After all, she took that arrow for me last night. If I don't take care of her, my conscience won't allow it."

"Hehe, I hope you don't take it to bed."

Mobius gave a soft snort, issuing a warning. After all, having spent the past month with Ling Xi, he knew all too well the strange allure this guy possessed—basically...

Any woman who gets close to this guy inexplicably develops a good relationship with him.

Seele is like that, Klein is like that, even those two scoundrels Cangxuan and Danzhu have a very good relationship with Cangxuan Ling Xi, and that other one...

Pink-haired fox spirit!

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

Ling Xi just smiled at this. That's how Doctor are; they always like to worry about things that are impossible.

"Alright, get up."

As he spoke, Mobius broke free from Ling Xi's embrace, stretched, and prepared to get up and get dressed.

"Yes, Doctor."

Seeing this, Ling Xi had no choice but to get up. Although she had gone to bed late last night, she had more important things to do today.

Chapter 106: Bringing the Cherry Blossoms In!

In the hall, the three of them ate breakfast together. During breakfast, Ling Xi and Ying told Mobius what had happened. Although Ling Xi wanted to help Ying hide the fact that she originally wanted to kill her, Ying still decided to admit it, otherwise she might feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

So Sakura told Mobius the whole story.

"So, you originally came to kill Ling Xi, but changed your mind after learning Ling Xi's identity?"

Listening to Sakura's explanation, Mobius nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but laugh, "I knew it, the people around this guy are always inexplicably affected..."

"Huh? What did you say, Doctor?"

Ling Xi looked puzzled upon hearing Mobius's somewhat nonsensical remark.

"It's nothing, I just said you were lucky."

Mobius shrugged. "Thanks to us for going to that concert, and thanks to you for saving that girl's sister, otherwise... I would have been widowed before we even went to the Mu Continent or got our marriage certificate."

Ling Xi "..."

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. They are my benefactors, but I..."

Speaking of this, Sakura wanted to apologize again, after all, it was indeed her mistake.

"Forget it, forget it, no need for an apology."

Mobius waved his hand and laughed, "After all, that wasn't your intention. And after you recognized Ling Xi's identity, you chose to protect Ling Xi immediately. For that alone, you shouldn't apologize."

"Hmm... Dr. Mobius. You're much easier to get along with than I've heard."

Sakura glanced at Mobius gratefully, while also pondering to herself that Mobius was completely different from the rumors. She seemed to be a beautiful and kind-hearted Doctor.

"Hehe, Sakura, those are just rumors."

Hearing Sakura's words, Ling Xi felt it necessary to protect his wife's image and explained, "The reason for these rumors is twofold. First, my Doctor's research is considered to violate human morality, making it difficult for people to accept. Second... my Doctor is simply too outstanding; no matter how hard those people try, they can't catch up, so..."

Ling Xi spread her hands and pursed her lips. "The only option left is to smear him. This phenomenon exists not only in academia but in all fields. For example, there are scandals about idols and officials. It's just that... my Doctor has a few more rumors about him!"

"Eh, just a little bit..."

Sakura was at a loss for words. Was the rumor about your Doctor really just a little bit?

"Alright, stop with the useless talk."

Mobius waved his hand, not wanting to discuss these issues any further, and instead looked directly at Sakura, asking, "Sakura, what are your plans for the future?"

"Intend?"

Sakura was clearly taken aback. As a member of the Poisoned Pupae, what could she possibly be planning?

"So, your plan is to leave the Poisoned Pupae?"

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "What you did last night can be considered an act of betrayal against Poisoned Pupae, right? And Poisoned Pupae has always been very resolute towards traitors. Even if you are an S-rank member and won't be punished too severely, but..."

"I expect to face some exclusion or targeting, especially..."

Mobius said quietly, "Your sister, after all, is a strange bunch of guys in the Poisoned Pupae, and the thought processes of its higher-ups are incomprehensible. Because of your situation, your sister might be affected."

"I..."

Hearing Mobius's question, Sakura also became somewhat conflicted. Indeed, her actions last night could be considered a betrayal of the Poisoned Pupae, and moreover... she had exposed the higher-ups who gave the orders, and those people were the ones who wanted to kill Ling Xi, so...

This move by me has completely offended the Poisoned Pupae and certain high-ranking officials.

"I'll figure out a way to handle it."

However, Sakura had no way to deal with this situation. After all, she was alone and powerless, and had no family influence. She had joined the Poisoned Pupae by chance, intending to earn some extra money to change her and her sister's lives.

And now... it's painful.

Seeing Sakura's increasingly helpless expression, Mobius smiled calmly and asked, "Sakura, how about... coming to work in my lab?"

"Eh? Coming to your lab?"

Sakura looked somewhat puzzled. Was this... a poaching operation?

"Yes, come work in my lab."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Although you are not good at scientific research, you are very capable. Therefore, I would like to hire you to be in charge of my security. What do you think?"

"This..."

Sakura hesitated. She had already betrayed Poisoned Pupae, and the best course of action now was to explain to her superiors, but...

Mobius has betrayed himself completely.
