Shen Xia woke up the next morning feeling oddly refreshed. She sat up and thought back to the night before and how she sat in that devilish man's lap and even leaned into him as if it was natural and blushed. She began to wonder why she would act like that. But she had to admit she felt safe in his arms. This thought alone made Shen Xia slap her cheeks. "Xia no! That man is the devil. He must be using some kind of spell to make you fall for him. Yes! That's it!"
Having convinced herself that she was being tricked by some spell, Shen Xia got up out of bed feeling much better. Outside the door with her hand frozen in front of the door. Lilith, who was about to knock, heard Shen Xia's little speech and almost burst out laughing. 'Master, you really picked a bad time for a business trip! Mistress may just forget about you!'
Composing herself, Lilith knocked on the door and opened it to find Shen Xia half dressed. "Xiaxia, I see you're up."
"Mm! Today is a good day! Such a good day that I will even let you brush my tail today!" Shen Xia said with a smile. She saw Lilith eyeing her tail, so she decided to be nice for once.
Lilith quickly grabbed a brush and went to work before Shen Xia changed her mind. She didn't even wait for Shen Xia to finish getting changed before she started causing Shen Xia to let out a laugh. "Fine brush first!"
Shen Xia looked at herself in the mirror and frowned as she reached up and squeezed her breasts. "I think they are getting smaller..."
Lilith looked in the mirror and giggled. "The last time we all bathed together, they looked the same. I just think they have always been that size."
"Hmm? Are you sure?" Shen Xia was never one to really care about her body's looks much in the sense of her womanly parts, but because of that handsome devil, she slowly started to notice these things. She gave them a few more squeezes before deciding she would check them again in a few days to be sure.
"Ahh! No fair! Why does Lilith get to brush your tail, Xiaxia!?" Shen Lingxin's voice came from the door as she ran into the room.
"Xin'er you need to knock before entering!" Shen Xia yelled out as she covered her chest. "And close the damn door!"
Shen Lingxin froze and quickly turned around and ran back to the door to close it. "Sorry! But Xiaxia, it's not fair!"
"Tomorrow, you can brush it, okay?" Shen Xia caved, seeing Shen Lingxin pouting as she was. She had to admit a cute girl's pout was deadly.
"Yay!" Shen Lingxin cheered, and her pout instantly turned into a smile. She couldn't wait for the next day to come now.
"Xiaxia, what do you think of my Uncle?" Lilith asked. Her question causing Shen Xia to freeze.
"Wh-Why are yo-you asking such a qu-question? Mr. Vo-Vorn is Mr. Vorn..." Shen Xia's stuttering and rosy cheeks were giving her away. She just didn't realize it herself that she was actually slowly growing feelings towards him. However, in her mind, Shen Xia was cursing the devilish man. But thinking about him reminded her of things he said. In order to break through the wall to reach the next level, she would need to find an opportunity to advance.
Luckily Lilith didn't press the issue. She could see that her Master still had a chance with her Mistress. This was a good thing that she would make sure to tell her Master later on.
Today was the day for Shen Xia and her group to show the results of their projects. Shen Xia's Spot no longer looked like the original design. The girls had upgraded him many times over with Shen Xia's help.
"We won't get yelled at, right?" Quan Xinya asked. Feeling a bit worried.
"Why would we? Look how cute he is!" Shen Xia rubbed Spot's little head, causing it to shake its tail and rub its head on Shen Xia's hand. It acted just like a regular dog. She had used a method of machine learning to teach Spot how to act like a dog, along with adding in all kinds of sensors as well so it could walk or run anywhere. You could say it was far beyond a high school level project.
Mr. Huang came walking over with his clipboard to grade their work when he heard a small bark coming from the group. Frowning, he asked: "Who brought their dog in?"
"Ah… Mr. Huang, that's just Spot." Shen Xia replied as she picked Spot up and held him in her arms. Spot then began to proceed to lick her face with his mechanical tongue and wagged his little tail back and forth.
"This..." Mr. Huang froze. He looked at the little robot dog acting no different from a puppy and was confused. He then turned to look at the other kids' projects which all looked like the pictures he gave them, and then looked back at the one in Shen Xia's arms. "You…. Did you make this!?"
Shen Xia nodded her head and smiled: "Isn't he cute!? Look! I spent a lot of time reprogramming him and modeling his externals. We even adjusted the kit you gave us so it would move better. Now, look! He is no different from a real puppy! Spot is adorable!"
"Mr. Huang, it would be best not to get Xiaxia going on Spot. She really put her heart and soul into this project. But I will say this. This was mostly all Xiaixa's handy work. She picked up coding for this almost instantly. And then, she learned how to do something called deep learning. After that, well, as you can see, the results are in front of you..." Lilith stepped in. She could see that Mr. Huang was going to start asking all kinds of questions. If he got her going, then the class would never end.
"G… Genius! Shen Xia, you are a Genius! A Genius of our time! To think such a thing was possible." Mr. Huang's whole body was shaking with excitement. "Double full marks!"
"What!?" The whole class yelled out. "Mr. Huang, how is that fair!?"
Mr. Huang looked at the young man who asked the question and snorted. "Can your robot do the same as hers!? If it can then I will give you double marks too! If not, sit down and shut up or I will give you a zero!"
