"Xingya, I feel that your current abilities are still somewhat lacking. When it comes to handling pressure, there's quite a gap between you and Shengsheng... While Shengsheng is pregnant with my child, you'll have to shoulder a lot of the burden."
After enjoying a luxurious seafood paella feast, Su Bai suddenly dropped this line.
Instantly, Li Xingya sat up straight and nodded, "You're absolutely right, Boss. I will work hard to grow into a qualified research assistant as soon as possible!"
Li Xingya didn't think in that direction at all... even though she really did want to do that kind of thing with Su Bai.
But Su Bai's expression just now had been too serious, and Li Xingya's thought process was relatively straightforward, so naturally, she didn't overthink it.
Little did she know, this guy Su Bai was best at saying the weirdest things with a completely straight face.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean in terms of work... Work-wise, you're already perfect. Just keep doing things step by step. Besides, the seniors in the lab will help out; it's not like the entire lab relies on you alone to do the work. If anything, I think you need to learn how to say no. Sometimes, when those grad students ask for your help, politely rejecting them is the right choice."
"Eh? Is... is that so?"
"Yeah, learning to say no is a mandatory course in the workplace."
The so-called "pure and naive college students" often didn't know how to refuse. When they encountered calculating, overbearing people in society, they easily suffered losses.
Li Xingya pondered over these words carefully. It was true. When she first came to help in the lab, everyone was unfamiliar with each other, so no one really asked her for favors. But as time passed, people would occasionally come to her. Even though the tasks weren't extremely troublesome, they still ate into her personal time.
With a thoughtful expression, the girl nodded earnestly. "Understood, Boss. I'll pay attention to that in the future."
"Mhm. And don't be too tense with the time you save. Use it to enjoy yourself more... and to improve your skills in other areas."
Su Bai didn't use words to further explain what exactly he meant by "skills in other areas."
However, the movements of his hands instantly made Li Xingya understand.
Wuu... So what the Boss meant was...
Logically speaking, it seemed there was nothing wrong with that! If Chen Yusheng was going to have a baby, there were indeed many things that would be inappropriate for her to do, so other sisters would have to take her place.
And in this laboratory, she was the only one...
As Su Bai's hands grew bolder, Li Xingya's enticing, peach-blossom complexion looked as if it were about to melt into tangible spring water.
Twisting her body, the shyness deep in her bones wanted to protest, yet her infatuation with Su Bai made her subconsciously submit, and even actively cater to him.
This strange sense of contradiction, in Su Bai's eyes, was simply incredibly delicious.
Compared to those bold and passionate girls, the soft and sweet Xingya truly had a unique flavor.
"Boss, don't do this... I, I won't be able to stop myself from making a sound. There's a senior in the next room, she also returned to school early..."
"Ah? A senior? It's fine. If she hears anything, she'll tactfully avoid us. From what I've seen, the students Professor Luo leads all have high emotional intelligence." Su Bai teased verbally as his arms, possessing inhuman strength, exerted force to lift Li Xingya up.
A princess carry was as effortless for Su Bai as picking up a bottle of mineral water.
Li Xingya felt a bit dizzy. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Su Bai was sitting on the chair she had just been in, and in turn, she was sitting sideways on Su Bai's lap.
Mhm... this position...
She had seen this many times before—Chen Yusheng sitting on Su Bai's lap like this, acting coquettishly towards him, both of them smiling so happily.
It seemed like a long time ago, back when she hadn't yet crossed the line with Su Bai. However, Li Xingya had already started fantasizing back then, imagining that the woman sitting on Su Bai's lap was her.
Now, Su Bai's actions hit the bullseye of her desires perfectly, causing the shy Li Xingya to lose all strength to struggle.
"Xingya, from now on at school, whenever I need help, I'll have to trouble you a lot."
"Mhm... I'm willing... But, mm, the senior next door..."
Su Bai decided to shut this little coward's mouth.
...
After a series of processes that are inconvenient to describe.
Li Xingya's clothes... after being adjusted by Su Bai, were actually still neat. Of course, this was only on the outside. In reality, Su Bai had made her... well, those who know, know, right through her clothes.
She rested her chin on Su Bai's shoulder, panting. Neither of them spoke. In such a tranquil moment, there was no awkwardness at all, only an intimately close warmth.
She really loved this feeling.
When she was tired from studying and working, she could be held and doted on in the arms of the man she loved deeply.
Su Bai's aura of absolute trustworthiness, his monstrous wealth, and his free-spirited personality were all as beautiful as a dream.
Being with him, there was no need to worry about the future, no need to fret over any realistic anxieties.
As long as she did her part well, it seemed she could earn a share of Su Bai's love.
Li Xingya recalled some discussions she had seen in the TikTok comment sections. Some people wondered how Su Bai could guarantee that none of his many female confidantes would cheat, and that they would all remain so single-minded.
In reality, only after truly experiencing Su Bai's excellence would one understand: anyone who had been with Su Bai simply couldn't look at any other man anymore.
It could truly be said that meeting Su Bai once ruined one for life.
"It's time to change your undergarments, Xingya."
"Mm... sorry..."
"No apologizing. What's there to apologize for? This is exactly the effect I wanted."
"..."
The boss was so bad.
Knowing full well that her sense of immorality was especially heavy in the lab, he deliberately acted wickedly.
However, within Su Bai's wickedness, there was often a sweetness that girls couldn't refuse.
When he came, he had brought a pair of Hermes grey stockings.
It always felt like shopping at Hermes nowadays was like visiting the downstairs fruit stand. He'd just take a stroll and buy whatever caught his eye. If the store didn't have it, or if he had special requirements, he would just ask Lu Yuning to custom-make it.
Su Bai unfolded the grey stockings and shook them in front of Li Xingya.
Looking at her plump thighs and imagining how they would look on her, he couldn't wait to help her change.
Li Xingya had truly surpassed her limit of shyness. With a trembling voice, she pleaded, "Wuu, Boss, I'll change them myself... please~"
That pleading look and tone made it simply impossible for Su Bai to refuse, so he complied with her wishes.
Only after Li Xingya had finished changing did Su Bai turn around to look.
Going commando under grey stockings, tsk~
Grey stockings are a rather special color. When paired with the right woven material, they provide an extra buff effect for certain girls.
Just like a certain internet celebrity once known for her blue battle suit, Su Bai was willing to call Li Xingya the Goddess of Grey Stockings.
To wear grey stockings, one must have a good figure. The purely skinny type with no curves just wouldn't do.
But she couldn't be too chubby either; the bone structure needed a delicate feel. Moreover, the person's temperament had to be soft and gentle with a hint of allure. It couldn't be purely slutty, otherwise, it would look too sleazy.
Li Xingya was absolutely perfect.
Thus, Su Bai couldn't help but take the next step. After all, he hadn't been fully pleased just yet...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
