I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

Asuna Nagasaki turned her head to look at him, a deep longing hidden in her bright and clear eyes.

"Cheng Fei, Nana is so embarrassed. Nana can't stand just being stared at by you..."

"Calm down."

"Cheng Fei, look into Nana's eyes, okay? Isn't Nana pretty...?"

Cheng Fei suddenly opened the car window a crack, and a gust of cold air rushed in, dispelling the heat from the air conditioner.

"I don't know why, but I'm feeling a bit carsick today," the boy said with a yawn.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I braked too suddenly." The elderly gentleman holding the steering wheel seemed to have misunderstood something.

Nagasaki Asuna stood silently, head bowed, as the cold wind blew.

……

181. Nagasaki Asuna wasn't enough.

The van stopped in front of a high-end apartment building on Guang'an Street, and several people got out.

"Is this Shen Xi's house?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

"Wait for her to come down. I suddenly remembered I need to buy something, so I'm going to the nearby convenience store." Cheng Fei said and quickly left.

The boy crossed the zebra crossing to the other side of the street, glanced back at himself, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards his rented room.

He had just reached the bottom of the stairs when a soft, delicate body rushed up behind him, and a familiar, gentle voice rang out, "So Cheng Fei lives right across from her."

"Nana, are you a ninja?" Cheng Fei looked down at the pair of fair hands wrapped around his chest and sighed.

"Cheng Fei is trying to sneak over here to get his luggage without telling me." Nagasaki Asuna snorted and turned to face him, puffing out one cheek in a mock complaint.

The boy lifted the girl's bangs and covered her smooth forehead with his palm.

"What's wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna covered his hands with both of hers, tilting her head in confusion.

"It's nothing, just checking if you have a fever today." Cheng Fei calmly withdrew his hand.

"Does Cheng Fei find Nana's appearance today distasteful?" Nagasaki Asuna clung to him, tilting her head up to look at him.

"I'm just worried that you might really need to see a psychologist." The boy shook his head, pulled her away, and stood still. "Alright, wait here for me. I'll go upstairs and get my luggage."

"Okay~" the girl replied in her usual sweet and soft voice.

Cheng Fei walked into the building with his hands in his pockets, climbed to the second floor, and turned around to look behind him.

Nagasaki Asuna, who had been walking slowly with her hands behind her back, also stopped, her clear eyes meeting his gaze indifferently.

"I must find out Cheng Fei's address today." Her tone was full of determination.

"Whatever makes you happy." Cheng Fei was at his wit's end.

The girl cheered and quickly caught up with the boy, linking arms with him as they went home together.

"Go in." Cheng Fei opened the door to the rented room.

"Do you need to change your shoes?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked and walked in with her hands behind her back.

"No need, there are no shoes for you to change into anyway," Cheng Fei said from behind her.

Asuna Nagasaki walked into the bedroom, lay down on the bed without hesitation, and then shivered, "It's so cold."

"Unlike you guys with both underfloor heating and central heating, thank you." Cheng Fei glanced at the off air conditioner, annoyed.

"You?" The girl was very perceptive.

“Shen Xi’s house has underfloor heating.” Cheng Fei pulled up the suitcase he had packed last night.

"But it's so warm." Nagasaki Asuna buried her face in the pillow as if she hadn't heard, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Nana, there might really be something wrong with your head." Cheng Fei's gaze swept over the girl's curled-up, defenseless legs.

She was completely exposed.

"It's all Cheng Fei's fault."

"How come it's my fault again?"

"Nana is like this today because of the pressure from yesterday's performance." The girl casually wrapped his blanket around herself.

The boy didn't answer. He opened the synthesizer's storage bag, checked it, and then closed it again.

"Does Cheng Fei regret it?"

"I wouldn't say I regret it, it's just that your condition is more serious than I expected."

"Hmph, it's too late for Cheng Fei to regret it now. Next time Nana is unhappy, she'll sneak over to your house, climb on top of you, and smother you to death." Nagasaki Asuna pretended to be fierce as she pressed the pillow under her body, as if that was her.

"Please don't do that kind of thing." Cheng Fei slung the synthesizer over his shoulder, pulled his suitcase, and said, "Alright, let's go."

"I don't want to leave." The girl hugged a pillow, hiding half her face behind it, only revealing a pair of unreadable eyes as she looked at the boy.

"What do you want?"

“Cheng Fei, Nana isn’t enough…” the girl said softly.

"I can play a piece to soothe your fragile heart. What would you like to hear?" The boy placed the synthesizer on the desk by the window, intending to play.

"Cheng Fei, stop playing the piano." Nagasaki Asuna sat down, burying her head and nuzzling against him, eager to try. "How about playing Nana...?"

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Shen Xi and Milian are waiting."

"Nana will be fine soon..."

"The soundproofing here is terrible."

“That will make it quiet…” Nagasaki Asuna took the boy’s hand and covered her mouth with it.

"Then hurry up." Cheng Fei had no choice but to comply.

The girl narrowed her eyes, gazing tremblingly out the bright window, gradually losing herself in thought. An indescribable surge of emotion welled up like a clear mountain spring.

A few minutes later, the girl, her cheeks burning, wrapped her arms around the antidote and desperately tried to absorb it.

"Cheng Fei, Nana's legs are so cold..."

"How about Nana helps you...?"

Her response was fingers running through her smooth, coffee-colored hair, a motion that was both roughly pulling at her hair and gently stroking her head, as if she were completely under his control.

The girl felt a jolt, as if she had been electrocuted, and her thoughts became hazy. Her only remaining awareness was to try to use her Absolute Territory to envelop herself in the intense light and warm herself.

……

After the chaos subsided, the boy and girl quickly went downstairs.

Cheng Fei carried the synthesizer on his back and dragged his suitcase.

Asuna Nagasaki lowered her head and pursed her lips, following behind step by step. Her hands were habitually hidden behind her back, and her expression was sometimes absent-minded, as if she had not yet recovered from the emotions she had just experienced.

"I'm completely influenced by Cheng Fei's scent." She quickened her pace to walk alongside the boy, muttering to herself with a hint of excitement.

"Is it clean? Don't let anyone notice." The young man glanced expressionlessly under her skirt.

The snow-white, full area accentuated by the over-the-knee socks looked exactly the same as before.

"Don't worry, Cheng Fei." The girl blinked. "It's already taken care of."

"Isn't it disgusting?" the boy asked, glancing sideways.

“Nana will only like Cheng Fei’s things.” Nagasaki Asuna shook her head.

"You're happy now that you're fed up with me? If you're happy, then act normal."

"Okay~" the girl said with a smile, taking his arm.

"Let go, the people on the other side of the road can see this side." The boy said calmly.

“Yes~” Nagasaki Asuna quickly put her hands behind her back and kept her distance from him.

"What did you say when you came over?" Cheng Fei asked in return.

I said I'd go shopping too.

"Then you can go ahead first."

"Hmm~" The girl nodded obediently, then looked at him, "Cheng Fei, classmate."

"what?"

"How about we do this before the next performance too?"

"What?"

"Just now." The girl's eyes flickered.

"Hey kid, have some respect for the audience."

"But if I do that, I'm sure I'll perform even better."

"You're hopeless." Cheng Fei sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Cheng Fei can save me," the girl said with certainty.

"I think you'll only get deeper into trouble if you continue like this."

“But I’m getting more and more involved, isn’t that exactly what Cheng Fei wanted?” The girl stared at him.

"I don't know what I hope for, I just want to be your friend."

"A friend who can be dirtied at will?"

"That's enough, shut up."

Asuna Nagasaki obediently zipped up her mouth.

……

182. Miriam

"Why aren't you tying your hair up?" As Cheng Fei crossed the zebra crossing, he couldn't help but glance at Nagasaki Asuna, who had put the hair tie he gave her on her wrist.

"Because Nana's double ponytail look is unique to Cheng Fei." The girl tilted her head, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"What's so special about this being exclusive?"

“Nana has many looks that are uniquely Cheng Fei’s.” She blinked, as if hinting at something.

The boy shut his mouth.

……

Nagasaki Asuna went back first, while Cheng Fei went around to the bakery at the intersection to buy some food before slowly returning to Shen Xi's apartment building.

Miriam and Sebastian were helping Shen Xi load her belongings into the car, while Nagasaki Asuna watched empty-handed.

"Junior, why did you buy a suitcase?" Miriam was stunned.

"These are my luggage. Actually, my house is right next door." The boy put his own things into the trunk as well.

Why didn't you tell us?

"Because I want to maintain the mystery." Cheng Fei raised his index finger, making a shushing gesture.

"You'd probably need to see a neurologist," Shen Xi said with a sneer as she walked in, dragging her suitcase.

"Teacher Shen, may I ask what kind of high-tech items you have here?" Cheng Fei asked, examining the girl's belongings.

Storage boxes of varying sizes occupy a corner of the spacious trunk, with the gravimeter brought back in the morning being just one of them.

"This is a microwave radiation meter, that's a multispectral camera, and there's also a magnetometer, a small phased array radar..." Shen Xi introduced expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, these things must be very expensive, right? You're so rich." Cheng Fei helped her lift the heavy suitcase and put it inside.
