Chen Cheng was speechless and didn't even look up. "Get lost. Don't you know what your buddy's strength is like?"

Ye Zhenzhen huffed, "Hmph~ Look at you acting like that."

Though she said that, she still felt a bit of heartache for him.

Sitting on the sofa, she pulled Chen Cheng's body over and rested his head on her lap.

Chen Cheng rolled over, lying on her lap and looking up at her. He raised an eyebrow and asked,

"Tell me, are you kids who grew up in those high-walled elite compounds born with the ability to calculate people's hearts?"

Ye Zhenzhen's brow furrowed. "What high-walled elite compound?"

"The walls of our family home aren't even as tall as my second cousin's son."

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her; she clearly understood the meaning behind his words.

Ye Zhenzhen reached out her fair hands to massage his temples. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, let out a breath, and explained the whole story, including his analysis of Guan Juer.

He truly told Ye Zhenzhen everything.

Especially after they had developed a more intimate relationship.

After listening, Ye Zhenzhen frowned. "Aren't you taking this too seriously?"

"Don't you often say yourself that 'people cannot withstand analysis'?"

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Conducting a full psychological profile on your own girlfriend?"

"Is this something the Chen Cheng who plays through life and practices 'blissful ignorance' would do?"

Ye Zhenzhen thought again, "Or is it that the 'muscle' hidden under that quiet girl next door's exterior exceeded your imagination? You feel things are out of control, instinctively sensed danger, and that's why you feel uncomfortable?"

Chen Cheng was stunned; he couldn't deny that Ye Zhenzhen was right.

"She calculated Little Qiu because she wanted to find a useful ally for herself in your back—" Ye Zhenzhen gave Chen Cheng a somewhat 'disdainful' glare, "—your backyard."

"What is she after?"

"Isn't she just after you as a person?"

"Besides, aren't you also calculating her?"

"If she knew you had already hooked up with Little Qiu, would this have happened?"

With that, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Chen Cheng huffily. "If I were her and found out you were secretly hooking up with my roommates—and keeping two at once—I'd give you two slaps."

She tilted her chin up. "One slap for each~"

Chen Cheng blinked and quickly realized what Ye Zhenzhen was doing.

She was trying to persuade him to reconcile with himself.

He had to admit, Ye Zhenzhen was a master at smoothing things over.

He was swayed. Since he was calculating Guan Juer, he shouldn't be so bothered by Guan Juer's calculations regarding him.

Besides, this kind of calculation wouldn't cause him any loss.

It was just that the innocent Guan Guan in Scum Cheng's heart...

...had collapsed.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, a smile spreading across his lips. "Then you can give me three slaps~"

"Are you crazy? Are you a masochist? You like being hit?" Ye Zhenzhen scolded him crossly.

Two seconds later, she processed his words, her expression looking like she'd seen a ghost. "You messed with He Minhong too?"

"Why couldn't it be Xiao Yu?"

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him. "Don't I know your taste by now?"

"If they don't have long legs, would you even look at them?"

"Hong Hong at least has a good figure," Ye Zhenzhen's face reddened slightly. "Even I'm a bit envious, hehe~"

Uh...

Chen Cheng was a bit overwhelmed.

Ye Zhenzhen's understanding of him was a bit too deep...

Ye Zhenzhen thought again, her eyes widening. "You didn't actually mess with AChu, did you?"

She paused for two seconds. "Did she seduce you?"

Chen Cheng's eyes widened. I told you, none of you kids from those elite compounds are simple.

She could even accurately guess that Yu Chuhui was the one who took the initiative.

Ye Zhenzhen's gaze drifted slightly as she nodded. "That does seem like something AChu's crazy personality would do."

A smile curled on Chen Cheng's lips. "You're really good at reading people."

Ye Zhenzhen's face immediately contorted as if she were constipated.

She glared at Chen Cheng angrily. "You really won't stop until you've messed with everyone on the 22nd floor, will you?"

Chen Cheng smiled and nuzzled his head against her lap. "Don't worry, He Minhong scares me. Absolutely not."

Eww~ Ye Zhenzhen leaned back tactically, not believing his nonsense at all. "You'd better mean it."

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't respond.

The air was quiet for a few seconds before Ye Zhenzhen spoke up and asked, "Don't you think this Little Qiu is also very strange?"

"She's hooked up with you, yet she dares to pretend to be a best friend and tip off Xiao Guan?"

Chen Cheng thought about it. "Her brain isn't wired like a normal person's."

Actually, on the way back, Chen Cheng had already figured out why Qiu Yingying dared to 'report' him to Guan Juer.

"Her 'love brain' started acting up again. She subconsciously believes she also has a subordinate relationship with me, or rather, a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

"But since the relationship can't see the light of day, she chose to tip off Guan Juer to fulfill her own 'catching the cheater' behavior."

Ye Zhenzhen was speechless. "Isn't this kind of traitor who betrays the revolution even more disgusting?"

"How can you act like nothing happened and even buy her a car?"

Chen Cheng shrugged. "I'm very fair. For those who are more 'purely' in it for the money, then she will definitely lose..."

Ye Zhenzhen sucked in a breath of cold air and shook her head. "Why do you even provoke someone like that?"

"She's not pretty, and her personality isn't good."

She pinched him. "Are you lacking women?"

"Not really."

"Am I not pretty?"

"Does Lucy not have a good figure?"

"Or is Gigi not virtuous enough?"

She glared fiercely at Big Scum Chen. "Are you collecting stamps?"

"Uh..."

Chen Cheng was a bit overwhelmed again.

If he said he didn't have the idea of 'collecting stamps,' he really wouldn't have had anything to do with Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei.

Oh, wait, Fan Shengmei is now Great Beauty Fan.

After Great Beauty Fan, whom Chen Cheng had once dismissed as being big-boned and round-waisted, enjoyed Chen Cheng's master massage hands...

Perhaps because her 'foundation' was good, the weight loss effect was the best.

She slimmed down where she should, and kept what she shouldn't lose, and the shapes were even more perfect.

The situation for the others was less impressive, with only some changes that weren't very noticeable to the touch, but the data showed changes. Perhaps with more effort over time, it would become more visually obvious.

Seeing him silent, Ye Zhenzhen huffed angrily. "If you keep messing around in the future, I'll write your story into a gender psychology thesis. Even if I have to spend a fortune, I'll get it published in a top-tier journal."

Chen Cheng's eyes widened. You scholars are truly ruthless.

Using a PPT to expose a scumbag would at most make people laugh for a few days.

But being written into an academic paper—that's a legacy of infamy for ten thousand years.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and changed the subject. "Lucy said someone named Sun Qin from your research institute was being sarcastic to you?"

Ye Zhenzhen curled her lip. "You don't need to worry about it. It's just a small matter; I can handle it myself."

Chen Cheng nodded. "Our Zhen Zhen is capable both in the parlor and the kitchen."

He really wasn't worried about Ye Zhenzhen's work; she had that old fox, Old Ye, backing her up.

Ye Zhenzhen looked delighted. She leaned down to kiss Scum Cheng and then looked at his handsome face with a beaming smile. "At least you know how to compliment me."

Mentioning the institute, Ye Zhenzhen blinked. "Hey, don't you think it's strange? My memory seems to have improved lately."

"Logically, the peak period for memory should have passed long ago."

A slight smile played on Chen Cheng's lips. "Is it possible that it's my memory?"

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened. "What kind of nonsense is that?"

Chen Cheng smiled and beckoned her over. Ye Zhenzhen stared with wide eyes, confused, but still leaned her ear close to his mouth.

Chen Cheng whispered, "Actually, I know a type of Dual Cultivation technique."

"As long as the two parties are compatible enough, I can choose one of my abilities."

"And transfer it to the other person while we are 'connected'."

"And what I gave you was my memory."

Ye Zhenzhen's face turned crimson, only remembering the word 'connected'. She slapped him playfully. "You're going to be the death of me!"

"Aren't you afraid of actually dying on a woman's belly one day?"

Chen Cheng didn't care. "To die under a peony flower is to be a romantic even as a ghost."

As he spoke, he reached his hand under Ye Zhenzhen's clothes.
