"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. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
