"Are you scared? I've never seen such a cowardly and shameless man."

"No, what I, Cheng Fei, am determined to do, I will definitely accomplish. It's settled then, as you said?"

"It's a word."

……

After two hours of club activities, Cheng Fei packed his things and left.

Shen Xi turned off the fan, locked the door, and went downstairs side by side with Cheng Fei.

"There's something I want to ask you," Cheng Fei said.

"Speak," Shen Xi glanced at him.

"If Nana were to rejoin the club, would you agree?"

"What a disgusting name! Who is that?"

"Don't you recognize me? Nagasaki Asuna, I heard you two founded a club together."

"I'm sorry, I've already erased my memories of that person."

"So you're a robot, then everything makes sense."

"Enough with the nonsense. Why are you bringing her up? Do you even know her?"

"We know each other. It just so happens that our club is short of people. You're the minister, and I'm the vice minister. We should at least add one more member."

“I don’t need a hypocritical so-called realist like her as a member.” Shen Xi finished speaking and sneered, “I almost forgot, you and she are the same kind of people.”

"Not at all, I like you."

"nausea."

"But then again, she just can't do it no matter what?"

"No matter what, it won't work."

"Even if I beg you to accept her into the club as your lover, it won't work?"

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes. "Your new business partner isn't her, is it?"

12. The girl is good at reading minds.

"How could that be? That topic is over. Don't worry. Since you hate her so much, I will definitely stay away from her."

"Ha, you'd better be."

Cheng Fei shrugged and didn't bring it up again.

He's too busy watching the two women argue to bother mediating for a thousand points; he'd rather use that time to do a couple more practice tests.

The two walked to the school gate together. Before parting, Shen Xi said, "Don't forget to think about how to measure the speed of light with an electric fan. I need the answer the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, Minister." Cheng Fei bowed his head.

Shen Xi then revealed a satisfied smile, "Well then, goodbye."

"Never again." Cheng Fei waved his hand and walked towards the bus stop without looking back.

……

As night fell, Cheng Fei entered the corridor.

I opened my friends list and saw that Asuna Nagasaki was online, so I sent her a message.

"I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

The other party replied instantly.

"Shall we talk in person?"

See you at the fountain garden in the three zones.

"Okay~"

Cheng Fei decided to give it a try. If it was really as rumored, Cheng Fei could simply pay money to buy an online dating partner.

……

In a corner of the small square where the fountain never stops, a pink-haired girl with long pigtails reaching her ankles stands quietly by the roadside, waiting.

Players nearby were drawn to her and gathered around.

"What would you like to talk to me about, Cheng Fei?" Asuna Nagasaki tilted her head and smiled as she saw the boy walking towards her, her smile as gentle and kind as ever.

"Just browsing around." Cheng Fei picked a direction.

The girl did not object and walked alongside him.

In the corridor world, towering trees dozens of meters high can be seen everywhere. Dappled sunlight filters through the trees, making the dust particles in the air sparkle.

Young boys and girls walk along the tree-lined path.

"Is Nana short of money?" Cheng Fei asked.

"It's alright, Cheng Fei is concerned about me?" The girl tilted her head.

"I heard some rumors at school, so I'm a little concerned."

"What rumor?"

"Not a good rumor."

"Can you tell me about it?" the girl blinked.

"Well..." Cheng Fei made a troubled expression, "They all say you're doing the kind of job where you'll do anything as long as you get paid."

The air was silent for two seconds.

"Yuanjiao?" Nagasaki Asuna said it for him.

"almost."

The girl nodded, her expression unreadable. "What does Cheng Fei think?"

"I don't really believe that, you don't seem like it," Cheng Fei said seriously.

"What if... I said it was true, what would Cheng Fei do?" Nagasaki Asuna's bright eyes darted around, her face showing no anger at all. She bit her lip lightly and lowered her head.

Judging from her reaction, Cheng Fei felt that it was almost certain.

The girl, who always wears a bright smile like sunshine, is secretly doing *that* kind of thing for money.

Cheng Fei, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to sweet talk and deception, it's better to solve things with money. As for her character, Cheng Fei doesn't care.

However, at this moment, Nagasaki Asuna, who was watching Cheng Fei, suddenly tiptoed closer to Cheng Fei and their eyes met.

Her bright, clear eyes, like autumn water, seemed to possess a magical power that could see right through people.

The girl tilted her head thoughtfully, then whispered after a moment, "Strange, Cheng Fei seems to have breathed a sigh of relief..."

"If you think I'm a bad person, why...?"

"Could it be that Cheng Fei actually wants to..."

"...Support me as a sugar daddy?"

On the quiet, tree-lined path, a boy and a girl gaze at each other, their bodies very close.

Even though he knew that Nagasaki Asuna possessed extraordinary perception, Cheng Fei couldn't help but be surprised.

"Can you read minds?"

"Maybe." The girl gazed at the boy, observing him with a smile. "So, I read Cheng Fei's thoughts? He's clearly dating Shen Xi, but he has those kinds of feelings for me?"

Meeting her intrigued gaze, Cheng Fei realized he had been tricked; Nagasaki Asuna was just trying to get information out of him.

Be wary of extraordinary attributes; Cheng Fei kept this in mind.

Once the words were out of his mouth, Cheng Fei simply nodded, "That's the idea, because Nana is so cute, so I'd like to have her even if it costs money."

"Cheng Fei is indeed very goal-oriented, and quite greedy too," Nagasaki Asuna said with a smile, her eyes showing no anger, only liveliness and cunning. "Unfortunately, rumors are just rumors. Rather than spending money, Cheng Fei seems more inclined to consider investing his true feelings."

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Sorry." Cheng Fei decisively abandoned his plan. "I've disturbed you today."

"No need to apologize." The girl smiled gently.

"Then I'll log off now."

"Huh?"

"what happened?"

"As an apology, shouldn't Cheng Fei play with me for a while for free? I happen to have some free time."

"I thought you knew my true colors and didn't want to see me anymore."

"How could that be? On the contrary, I want to keep staring at Cheng Fei. Does Cheng Fei believe that?" Nagasaki Asuna hid her hands behind her back, her expression seemingly genuine.

Cheng Fei was a little unsure whether she was being sarcastic or not.

This woman appears easy to get along with, but due to her extraordinary perception, she seems to be quite shrewd.

"Why isn't Cheng Fei saying anything?" The girl chuckled. "I'm serious, after all, Cheng Fei is indeed very outstanding."

After saying that, she sighed, "Should I not have made that kind of joke? It would be terrible if Cheng Fei thought I was a scheming woman and wanted to stay away from me. I've always been like this since I was a child, so I don't have many friends. I really don't want to lose the one I finally have."

"Knowing I'm this kind of person, you're still willing to consider me a friend?"

"I know what kind of person Cheng Fei is. I just want to know if Cheng Fei wants to distance himself from me now?"

“Some people do know how.” Cheng Fei nodded in agreement.

"Does Cheng Fei have someone?"

“I think this is an excellent performance.” Cheng Fei shook his head. “So you really can read minds?”

"Of course not, it's just that I've been more sensitive since I was little and can easily see through other people's thoughts." The girl showed a reminiscing expression. "Sometimes I can't help but use my skills to tease others and see their surprised reactions. In elementary school, I was treated like a monster by my teachers and classmates and had to transfer schools once because of this."

"Very strong." Cheng Fei said sincerely.

After hearing what she said, Cheng Fei even considered raising his perception points to 9 to see what would happen, feeling that it was a very useful skill.

Unfortunately, Cheng Fei's perception is only 6 points, which is only slightly higher than that of an average person. Forcing him to add more points is not a wise move.

"So Cheng Fei doesn't mind me?"

"do not mind."

"That's great! The Chinese are indeed enlightened. We've met two people like this right away." Nagasaki Asuna patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner.

Cheng Fei imagined the scene when she was a child, when she was isolated and ostracized because she saw through other people's true thoughts.

"I should be thankful that I wasn't shunned."

"Then we're even!"

"By the way, who is the other person?" Cheng Fei asked, glancing sideways.

"Cheng Fei, guess what?" After the girl finished speaking, she stared intently at Cheng Fei's face, seemingly enjoying herself.

But then she quickly shook her head, "Okay, actually it's Shen Xi."

“She can understand.” Cheng Fei glanced at the girl beside him. “You don’t need to suppress yourself. I said I don’t mind.”

"Cheng Fei is very gentle."

"Actually, I don't really have anything to do with this word."

"Is that so?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and smiled. "In that case, Cheng Fei, how about you accompany me to run the dungeon like last time? Should we go to the second floor? It seems too difficult. It's better to stay on the first floor..."

“You like the corridor more than I thought.” Cheng Fei assumed that a casual player like her wouldn’t be too interested in fighting and killing.

“Although I’m terrible at it, I really enjoy it.” Nagasaki Asuna nodded.

Just as Cheng Fei was about to say something, text suddenly appeared in front of him.
