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

"Please add Nana back."

"Cheng Fei, are you going to keep disgusting me until I can't take it anymore?" Shen Xi frowned.

"That's not what I meant. Since you already know, I'll be frank. I think Nana isn't a bad person. She's the only helper I can trust besides you and me right now. From that perspective, I still hope you can reconcile. If you really don't want to take action, I can add her as a friend for you. I guarantee she won't go against you."

"Ha, they really trust her."

“Teacher Shen, if you trust me, then trust her. This is based on our shared interests.”

After the boy finished speaking, Shen Xi stared at him and fell silent.

A moment later, the girl handed the phone to Cheng Fei, her face expressionless. "I won't apologize to her, and you can't say anything like that on my behalf."

“Okay.” Cheng Fei took her phone, added Nagasaki Asuna as a friend, and then sent her a message using his WeChat.

"Accept Shen Xi's friend request."

"We'll discuss any issues later."

"Thanks"

The reply came instantly.

"Huh?"

"it is good"

"May I go to Cheng Fei's room now?"

Under Shen Xi's silent gaze, Cheng Fei replied to the message.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"They really are very close," Shen Xi sneered.

"Teacher Shen, please forgive me, I really did sweat." The boy breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner.

……

193. Avalanche is the most conscientious game company in the world.

Putting down his phone, Cheng Fei smacked his lips. "Teacher Shen, have you noticed something?"

"what?"

"They said at the beginning that they would only talk about business, but now they're talking about personal matters."

"This is also a problem you caused, so reflect on your actions." Shen Xi glared at him. "Enough with the nonsense, let's begin the meeting."

“Okay.” The boy straightened his expression. “So what should I do, my teacher Shen?”

"Considering it's my first time and I wasn't prepared, let's talk about a small issue, Cheng Fei." The girl said expressionlessly.

"please say."

Have you ever considered how much revenue the Corridor could generate as a game?

"No." The boy shook his head.

"Cheng Fei." The girl narrowed her eyes, her tone becoming more forceful.

"Excuse me, Professor Shen, are you referring to profitability? I'll check the game company's financial report right away. If I remember correctly, it's called Avalanche..." Cheng Fei picked up his phone.

“The developer and publisher of the corridor is Avalanche. This company is not listed and cannot be found.” Shen Xi stared at him.

"How do we know about the profitability, Professor Shen?"

“Estimation,” Shen Xi sneered. “If you can’t even do that, I advise you not to do any investment with that Lin guy.”

“Okay.” Cheng Fei thought for a moment. “The Corridor uses a point card system, with a monthly card costing thirty yuan. I’ve seen reports of ten million monthly active players, so based on that, the monthly revenue would be around three hundred million.”

"Keep thinking about it. Do you think this income is reasonable?"

"That's unreasonable. Those damn game companies are making too much money."

"I'm asking you to think about its rationale within the industry." Shen Xi rubbed her temples.

"I don't really follow the gaming industry, so what exactly are you trying to say, Professor Shen?"

"For your reference, World of Warcraft's monthly subscription is 75 yuan, Final Fantasy XIV's monthly subscription is 88 yuan, not to mention various mobile games with monthly revenue of nearly 1 billion yuan, while Corridor, as a game with a production level far exceeding that of ordinary games, only charges 30 yuan for its monthly subscription."

"I understand, the corridor game is a game of conscience." Cheng Fei said seriously.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, seemingly displeased.

“Okay, the Corridor’s fee is indeed unreasonable for a game. It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to make money. There’s a lot of shady stuff going on.” Cheng Fei quickly stroked his chin seriously.

"I won't repeat myself. What I want to emphasize is that even if the Corridor itself isn't a game, since Avalanche disguised it as one, they could have easily followed the pricing model of regular games to make money, but they didn't. This can only mean one thing." The girl's sharp gaze seemed to see through everything.

"What is it?" Cheng Fei asked, looking at her.

"Avalanche's goal is not to make money through games."

“I understand. If the corridor really existed, I would have used the technology inside to rule the world and marry you as my queen long ago.” Cheng Fei nodded repeatedly.

Shen Xi suddenly stared intently at him, her eyes turning cold.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked, startled.

"Empress." The girl's cold laugh was tinged with sarcasm.

"Teacher Shen, I was just saying it offhand. Let's not go off-topic." Cheng Fei quickly became serious.

Shen Xi snorted softly and lowered her eyes. "The fact is that Avalanche did not rule the world. Honestly pretending to be a game company means there is another hidden story."

"So what's the hidden story, Teacher Shen?"

"Two possibilities: either they have no interest in ruling the world, or there are other obstacles," the girl said indifferently.

“Professor Shen, I feel we are getting more and more dangerous.” Cheng Fei’s serious expression seemed genuine. “I suggest we disband the Corridor Research Department immediately, lest we find out something we shouldn’t know one day and be wiped out by a laser cannon launched from space.”

"This meeting is over. Time for bed," Shen Xi said, suddenly putting the pillow that was under her lower back back in its original position.

Then, the girl's slender body slid down into the blankets, and under Cheng Fei's gaze, she turned her back to him and remained motionless.

"Teacher Shen, are you just going to ignore my suggestion like this?"

"A person who backs down like this doesn't deserve to sleep with me. Please get out." The girl's tone was unreadable.

"Just kidding, Teacher Shen. We're definitely the most perfect match in the world." Cheng Fei also got into bed.

Shen Xi did not respond.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

"Teacher Shen, is the light switch on your end? Could you please turn off the light?"

With a snap, the room plunged into darkness.

"Teacher Shen, just as I expected."

"what?"

"The light you turned off was the darkest."

"..."

"So, Professor Shen, what are you planning to do if we don't get anything this time?"

"Go back to a safe place and summon the white umbrella again."

"Understood. I'll accompany you and bring the spirit board, spirit box, and all sorts of rituals, including the Ouija board, ghost divination, and demon divination."

"I don't think these things are useful."

"What if?"

"Whatever, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, goodnight my little darling."

Goodnight, and also disgusting.

"Is formulaic thinking disgusting?"

"Shut up."

"Yes."

"Also, don't tell her about our private matters anymore."

“Nana? How could I tell her?”

"You promise to say my name."

"..."

"Cheng Fei." The girl emphasized.

"Okay, Shen Xi, I promise I won't tell Nana about our private matters."

"Remember what you said."

"Why do I feel like I've screwed myself over?"

"Ha, you can just say you regret it."

"Not at all, I have never regretted it."

"I hope so."

"Shen Xi".

"what?"

"What do you want to name our child?"

In the darkness, the girl turned over with a cold face and kicked the boy through two layers of blankets.

……

The next day.

Cheng Fei woke up automatically at 6:30 as usual, spent ten minutes admiring the stunningly beautiful sleeping face of the aloof girl so close to him, then sneaked back to his room to wash up before moving to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As he watched the tomato and egg soup in the pot boil and gradually turn thick and white, a soft, delicate body clung to him from behind.

"Cheng Fei smells like her," Nagasaki Asuna said casually.

"What are you saying, classmate?" Cheng Fei pulled her little hand down.

"She slept with Cheng Fei?" Nagasaki Asuna turned to the side and blinked, seemingly curious.

"That's an exaggeration, thank you. We didn't do anything," the boy said calmly.

"I don't believe it." Nagasaki Asuna hid her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe to look at him.

"She's much more naive than you, Nana," Cheng Fei said helplessly, looking at the girl.

“I want to sleep with Cheng Fei too.” Nagasaki Asuna puffed out one cheek deliberately.

"If you're as honest as her, then I have no problem with it." Cheng Fei added some sugar and soy sauce to the soup, and casually pinched the girl's cheek.

"I can't be as hypocritical as her." The girl put her hands behind her back and lowered her head to smell the soup.

"Who's the hypocrite here?" Cheng Fei turned to put the noodles in the hot water.

"Something's been off since yesterday. What kind of spell did she cast on Cheng Fei?" Nagasaki Asuna snuggled into the boy's arms, tilting her head back, her clear, bright eyes reflecting his image.

……

194. Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna reconcile.

"I can't tell you anything about love potion. I promise you I'll keep your private affairs a secret from you from now on," Cheng Fei said seriously.

Nagasaki Asuna blinked, then buried her face in the boy's chest, muttering in a muffled voice, "He's more troublesome than I imagined..."
