Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The living room was decorated in a very minimalist style, with only the essential furniture and a guzheng placed on the balcony to the north.

Bai Shenfei was sitting on the block-like sofa. When Lin Shen entered, she didn't react much, still looking at something on her communicator.

Upon seeing Bai Shenfei, Lin Shen felt his nervousness subside a lot.

To Lin Shen, Bai Shenfei was a blur of pixels, completely indiscernible, which instantly dispersed the tense atmosphere.

Lin Shen was no longer that tense, but Bai Shenfei had become somewhat nervous.

She had dressed with care that day, choosing her clothes meticulously, which set her apart from her usual attire.

Although she didn't wear makeup, she had carefully done her hair into a bun style she rarely sported, which, compared to her usual aloofness, added a touch of casual ease and made her seem less cold.

Bai Shenfei, devoted to practicing "Talent Theory," didn't typically fuss over her appearance but was still very confident in her looks.

She had hoped that her careful dressing would elicit at least a compliment from Lin Shen.

But after Lin Shen looked for a while, he said nothing and just sat down next to Bai Shenfei.

It wasn't Lin Shen's fault, as all he saw was a mosaic; he didn't even know what Bai Shenfei looked like, let alone what she was wearing or how she was dressed. He didn't know how to pay a compliment.

"Senior sister, if you have any special circumstances, we can postpone this," Lin Shen said, who, although not too nervous, still felt something was off.

Bai Shenfei turned to stare at Lin Shen, wishing she could slap him on both cheeks.

She had been feeling very anxious, unsure whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

Whether out of a rebellious nature or a desire to fight against fate, she internally resisted the idea of being with Ouyang Yudu.

As for Lin Shen, she could only say she didn't dislike him; she couldn't claim to have any affection for him.

If Lin Xiangdong hadn't asked her to look after Lin Shen, she wouldn't have had any interaction with him in this lifetime, not even a second glance.

But the last time she woke up in the underground sewer and saw Lin Shen asleep beside her, Bai Shenfei felt angry and resentful, even having the urge to kill Lin Shen.

Beyond that, there was an indescribable ripple in the depths of her heart.

Although the misunderstanding was later cleared up, that ripple planted a small seed within her.

Even so, Bai Shenfei continued determinedly on her own path, because Lin Shen had not mastered "Talent Theory," so that seed was almost impossible to sprout, let alone bear fruit.

Yet, Lin Shen's subsequent performances allowed that seed to sprout irresistibly.

Not because of Lin Shen himself but because Lin Shen showed her a glimmer of possibility.

If someone practicing "Evolution Theory" could achieve that extent, then why couldn't she break through "Talent Theory," why must she submit to Mr. Tian's arrangement?

It was Lin Shen's achievements that gave her a sliver of hope for defying fate.

She wanted to see if she could continue on her path without selecting the person destined for her.

When she agreed to Lin Shen's request at that time, she seemed very nonchalant, as if she didn't take the matter seriously at all.

In fact, only she knew the true cost and determination it had taken her.

Agreeing to Lin Shen meant that she had to embark on a path of defiance against heaven, a path of rebellion against fate. If it were to prove impassable, she feared that she might never accomplish anything significant in her life.

Although she hadn't chosen this path for Lin Shen's sake but to rebel against her own destiny, by this point, Lin Shen's hesitant words made her feel somewhat insulted.

"Is my charm really that lacking? Then why would you make such a request?" Bai Shenfei looked at Lin Shen, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, but she simply couldn't bring herself to say these words out loud.

"I said I would do it, so I will. It's up to you whether you come or not," Bai Shenfei said expressionlessly, then headed to the second-floor bedroom.

Even at this stage, there was no reason for Lin Shen to back down, so he steeled himself and followed her.

Bai Shenfei pushed the door open to a second-floor bedroom, and Lin Shen followed her in, then casually shut the door behind them.

Bai Shenfei, hearing the door close, felt her heart uncontrollably start pounding, and a blush spread across her pale cheeks, even burning up to her ears.

Trying to appear calm, Bai Shenfei walked to the bed, took off her shoes, and slipped under the covers, pointing to the sword hanging by the bed and said coldly, "If you want to sleep, sleep, but if you have any other ideas, I will kill you."

"Don't worry, I guarantee I have no other intentions," Lin Shen hastily swore.

Yet his words made Bai Shenfei's complexion turn a few degrees colder; she pulled the covers around her and lay on the inside, turning her back on Lin Shen.

"My apologies," Lin Shen took a deep breath, sat down at the edge of the bed, and then took off his shoes.

It couldn't be denied, men really are visual creatures. Although Lin Shen was still a bit tense, because his view was only mosaics, he genuinely harbored no other thoughts.

Bai Shenfei felt Lin Shen lift the blanket and enter, her body involuntarily trembled; she had never been so intimately close to a man before.

Inside, she even had the impulse to turn around and push Lin Shen off the bed, yet there was also an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

Lin Shen crawled under the covers, slowly moved behind Bai Shenfei, and reached out his arm from behind to encircle her waist.

"This time, I should be able to get the Fire Seed, right?" Lin Shen felt Bai Shenfei's body shudder, but pretended to be unaware of anything, and just held her as he lay down to sleep.

Bai Shenfei's hair emitted a faint fragrance, pleasant to smell, and the physical contact made them both feel somewhat awkward.

Whimsical thoughts began to stir in Lin Shen's mind, but a glance at the thick mosaic in front of him instantly dispelled any feelings he might have had.

"It's a good thing I can't see, or else, if I couldn't control myself and made some kind of move that caused a misunderstanding with Bai Shenfei, not only would I not obtain the Fire Seed, I might even get chopped up," Lin Shen took a deep breath, then began to recite the Immortality Scripture, planning to sleep through the night and worry about the Fire Seed later.

Lin Shen had no ulterior motives and soon fell asleep, but Bai Shenfei, being held, was stiff, with her mind erratically racing.

"What should I do if he makes an inappropriate move? Do I really have to draw my sword and kill him?" Bai Shenfei was in turmoil inside.

After much aimless pondering, Bai Shenfei realized that Lin Shen behind her was completely still.

Soon, Bai Shenfei became aware that Lin Shen seemed to have fallen asleep.

This realization suddenly triggered an inexplicable feeling of indignation in Bai Shenfei: "Am I really that unattractive, that you can still sleep like this?"
