Time flew by, and two days had passed.

During these two days, no significant progress had been made in the interrogation of Gangye Yoshiko.

It was just that more remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness had been steadily arrested.

As for what exactly the leaders of the remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness were plotting... that remained unclear.

It seemed that these ordinary members weren't privileged enough to be in the know about the core information.

It's worth mentioning that during casual chats with Gangye Yoshiko, she brought up that recently some people in the department were looking at her strangely.

The male officers would step back two paces like they were afraid of a leader, and then greet her.

"I'm not about to be promoted again, am I?" Gangye Yoshiko said with extreme optimism.

Hearing her words, Beichuan Si wisely chose to remain silent.

On the other hand, Nishijou Kurenai had made some breakthroughs in using Good Thought Shaping, although she wasn't as adept at it as Beichuan Si, her routine operation speed had become much faster than before.

Nishijou Kurenai also brought out her long-unused horizontal bars and vaulting horse, climbing up and down them all day long.

Magong Yongshi continued to study by lamplight into the night, seemingly completely immersed in her studies.

Shenzhu Shihui, needless to say, was still the same, getting up with Beichuan Si every day and then starting to play games on her Switch tirelessly.

As for Shen Gu Mirai... this young girl simply stuck close to Beichuan Si every day, sometimes sneaking away with him to the courtyard to cling to him for a long time.

In her words, "This is replenishing Beichuan Energy."

Although Beichuan Si had no clue what "Beichuan Energy" really was, he didn't object to her acts, so he let her cling to him as she wished.

Of course, the most important was Magong Tong.

In these past two days, nothing strange occurred with Magong Tong; she attended classes as usual, and although she had temporarily stopped working, the only difference now was that she was met by bodyguards as soon as she left school.

"If what Mr. Temple said is true, then Magong shouldn't be in any danger, right?" Shen Gu Mirai, sipping her strawberry milk, tilted her head to look at Beichuan Si beside her.

She rarely had the chance to walk home with Beichuan Si after school like this.

In response to Shen Gu Mirai's comment, Beichuan Si shook his head and said,

"One can't be too careful with these matters. Those remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness could become desperate. Magong should be aware of this."

Indeed, there were still core members of the remains of the Happiness Truth Sect hiding out, and everyone needed to proceed with caution.

At the very least, one had to make sure that all remnants of the sect were arrested before life could return to how it was before.

"Is that so?" Shen Gu Mirai blinked her big eyes and casually tossed the milk carton into a trash bin outside the convenience store, "Let's not think about these bothersome issues right now."

She stretched, giggling as she spoke,

"Mr. Temple, I need to buy some things at the mall, so this is far enough for now."

"I'll come with you," Beichuan Si suggested.

"Eh...?" Shen Gu Mirai deliberately lengthened her tone, pondering for a moment before saying, "But Mr. Temple, I'm going to pick out underwear this time. It might not be appropriate to bring you along, right?"

She indeed was going to buy underwear; it really wouldn't be quite appropriate to have Beichuan Si accompany her.

And Shen Gu Mirai knew that hiding this from Beichuan Si would be pointless, so she decided to be forthright about the topic.

With such an explanation, even Beichuan Si should know to retreat, right?

At least, that's what Shen Gu Mirai thought—

"Isn't that even better?" Beichuan Si turned his head, speaking with a blank expression, "You could try them on for me, I could help you choose..."

"Umm..." Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth, her expression hesitant, "That doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

"What's not right about it?" Beichuan Si raised an eyebrow, "You are my girlfriend and fiancée. For you to try on underwear for me, there wouldn't be a single thing inappropriate about it from an ethical or moral standpoint."

His direct approach left no room for beating around the bush, leaving Shen Gu Mirai with not even a sliver of space for rebuttal.

After a long contemplation, she stomped her foot in frustration, her face blazing red as she declared, "Just because it's not okay!"

"Is that so?" Beichuan Si nodded, "If that's the case, I won't force you. See you tomorrow."

His tone was so even that it was impossible to detect any pleasure or annoyance, yet Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.

Indeed... as Beichuan Si said, she was his girlfriend and fianceé, and something as trifling as underwear shouldn't be something to be ashamed of...

But—

Just as Beichuan Si was about to leave, his steps halted.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Gu Mirai had grabbed hold of the hem of his clothes.

Her head bowed, she appeared somewhat awkwardly embarrassed.

Sensing Beichuan Si's gaze turning back towards her, her faint, mosquito-like voice reached him—

"Next... next time..."

"Hmm?" Beichuan Si looked at Shen Gu Mirai, not quite understanding.

Shen Gu Mirai inhaled deeply, then pressed herself up against Beichuan Si, her head resting near his ear, her voice barely a whisper, "Next time... when it's just the two of us... I'll show Mr. Temple."

Her ears burned a shade of purple, strength sapped from her, leaving her body limp and weak, the world seeming to wobble around her.

"Hmm."

Beichuan Si acknowledged with a sound, and then he whispered back,
