Yan Yi was discussing with Lou Yinhai while leaning against the cabinet sideways.

She was right in front of the door crack, completely blocking all view through it, so Le Yu could only see Yan Yi's graceful back.

Tap.

Tap.

Le Yu and Ning Xinyuan's gaze both slid downward, seeing Yan Yi's left hand against the door crack, her fingers casually tapping the edge of the cabinet, making a tapping sound.

Ning Xinyuan suddenly realized something, and Le Yu could feel her heartbeat quicken, her body temperature rise. She slowly reached her hand towards the door crack, and Le Yu moved aside to see what mischief they were up to.

Ning Xinyuan struggled to extend her right hand, which made her seem like she was embracing Le Yu, her body pressing more closely against his, but she couldn't care less — because Yan Yi's hand was about to come through.

The instant the two hands touched, Yan Yi immediately grabbed Ning Xinyuan's hand. Ning Xinyuan tried to push her out, but Ning Xinyuan had nowhere to leverage strength, and Yan Yi was utterly audacious, so Ning Xinyuan not only didn't succeed, but her hand was caught and toyed with by Yan Yi.

And all under Le Yu's nose.

Alright, I'll take this bowl of dog food with an orange flavor as a toast.

Ning Xinyuan realized she was embarrassing herself, so she decisively withdrew her hand, even blushing a little and hiding her face.

But Yan Yi didn't stop there; her left hand pried the door crack open slightly until her left hand could reach in. Her delicate fingers danced in the air like octopus tentacles, arrogantly capturing the prey hiding inside the cabinet with no escape.

Outside, Yan Yi was smiling while discussing academic matters with Lou Yinhai, but all her attention was on her left hand.

In front was the Natural Disaster Element instructor Lou Yinhai, and beside him was another outsider, Shang Lingyi. One small misstep, and it would be exposed, and once exposed, it would be the biggest scandal in the Imperial Academy in decades. Yet it was precisely this precarious danger that made Yan Yi feel especially thrilled, so much so that she couldn't help taking risks.

Touch, touched it, it's the clothing... the sleeve's clothing...

Oh, she's so naughty, still daring to hit my hand? Well, then I won't be polite either...

Touched it, touched it, it's Sister's pretty face... so comfortable!

Inside the cabinet, Ning Xinyuan's face was red with embarrassment, her eyes filled with laughter, unable to contain her amusement while looking at Le Yu. Le Yu remained expressionless, letting Yan Yi's hand roam over his face, not reacting at all.

Outside, it's dangerous. Boys really need to protect themselves; you see, a single careless moment and you get taken advantage of.

However, if Le Yu were to say 'Qin Leyin had his face groped by Yan Yi', no one would believe it; it would be more believable if the subject and object were reversed.

Compared to everything else that happened today, having his face touched by Yan Yi was a trivial matter, not worth fussing over at all... Ouch, you're touching it fine, but why are you pinching?

If you're pinching, fine, but why are you squeezing?

If you're squeezing, why are you poking your fingers into my mouth!?

Le Yu completely reevaluated his understanding of Yan Yi. What perfect goddess, what public lover, it was all false. In the end, she's just a woman who needs to eat and drink, who poops and farts, who loves playing with fire for thrills, even pushing boundaries, a complete rogue.

Too much, even Qing Lan wasn't this outrageous.

Yan Yi angrily pinched Le Yu's nose.

She pinched and wouldn't let go.

Seemingly planning to force Le Yu to breathe through his mouth this way.

Le Yu looked resentfully at Ning Xinyuan, who blinked helplessly, gently patted Le Yu's thigh as if to comfort him or urge him to give in promptly.

Yan Yi suddenly changed her mind and started pinching Le Yu's earlobe.

Having the Ice Blood Physique, Le Yu naturally had no reaction, but he realized something when looking at Ning Xinyuan; Ning Xinyuan instinctively avoided backward, as if trying to hide her ears.

Understood.

[Intelligence that will never be used]: Ning Xinyuan's earlobes have extremely low defense.

Perhaps thinking that 'Ning Xinyuan's' endurance had reached a critical point, or due to a sudden pang of conscience, Yan Yi unexpectedly withdrew her hand. Both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But it was too early to relax — Yan Yi reached her hand back in, smearing all over Le Yu's face, and Le Yu immediately felt a moist sensation on his face.

Ning Xinyuan was dumbfounded.

Le Yu remained expressionless.

Thanks to the 'Ice Blood Physique', otherwise, Le Yu might have directly bitten off Yan Yi's fingers — it was saliva! Saliva, for crying out loud!

The depths of human nature are truly unimaginable, do you guys play this wildly usually?

This time, Yan Yi didn't poke her fingers into Le Yu's mouth, just lightly smeared them over Le Yu's lips as if applying lipstick.

Le Yu expressionlessly touched the back of Ning Xinyuan's head, indicating to her not to worry.

Ning Xinyuan looked very concerned, as if she thought Le Yu might flare up at any moment, hugging Le Yu's waist tightly, hoping he could calm down.

But in fact, Le Yu was very calm.

He knew he'd have to wash his face later, but he also knew he couldn't undo the current disgrace.

Qing Lan.

I've been tainted.

The promises written in the letter were all true; it's the world that changed my colors.

When Yan Yi had her fill of fun, Shang Lingyi finally finished testing the metal badge and asked, "Teacher Yan, are there really no other circulated heart-to-hearts? Were the previously scrapped pairs truly scrapped?"

"Why?" Yan Yi came back to her senses, noticing Shang Lingyi's question: "Have you seen others use heart-to-heart?"

Shang Lingyi shook her head: "No, I just wondered if we could find more usable heart-to-hearts, as this communication tool is truly invaluable."

"If the test is done, let's go to the office next door to discuss it in detail." Yan Yi calmly withdrew her hand, closing the cabinet's gap: "Everyone's been standing for a while, must be tired."

Shang Lingyi keenly noticed something: "Seems like Teacher Yan isn't too fond of outsiders entering your lab..."

"No one likes outsiders entering their lab." Lou Yinhai cleared his throat, speaking loudly: "For us, a lab is like a man's underwear or a woman's lingerie, every time an outsider enters is an intrusion. Miss Shang, your current action is akin to lifting Teacher Yan's underwear and groping around."

Although Yan Yi and Shang Lingyi seemed not very familiar with Lou Yinhai, just from Lou Yinhai's demonstrated academic stance, it was enough to prove he wasn't intentionally harassing women but using what he thought was an appropriate metaphor — though it did sound pretty terrible.

Yan Yi shook her head repeatedly, indicating that it was just Lou Yinhai's personal opinion, nothing to do with herself.

Since both Yan Yi and Lou Yinhai disagreed, Shang Lingyi had no reason to linger. She reluctantly took a last look at the lab, following the two Imperial Academy teachers out of the lab.

As the lab door closed.

Two simultaneous sighs of relief came from inside the cabinet.
