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

The two walked along the wooden walkway under the eaves, known as the edge.

Suddenly, a group of serious-looking men in suits emerged from the doorway in front.

Cheng Fei, who had been in a fight yesterday, instantly recognized these people as gangsters from the tattoos that were inadvertently revealed on their sleeves and the colorful linings of their suits.

Asuna Nagasaki keenly noticed the boy's body tense up, and tilted her head to whisper, "Cheng Fei, don't worry."

The two passed each other without exchanging any words other than nodding.

Cheng Fei secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

He even saw that two of them had bandages wrapped around their heads. If he remembered correctly, they were the poor contestants who had been slammed against the wall by him and Ye Shuang yesterday. If they were to be targeted for revenge here, it would probably be very troublesome.

Asuna Nagasaki led him to the outside of the mourning hall, where the sounds of a religious ceremony could be heard.

"Cheng Fei, shall we go burn incense together?" the girl said.

The boy nodded.

The mourning hall was spacious, and many gangsters came to pay their respects. Those men with fierce faces all put on solemn expressions, entered in groups, offered incense and prayers, and then quickly left.

The wreaths piled up in the corner almost all bore the names of a certain group or association.

Led by Nagasaki Asuna, Cheng Fei also offered incense and saw a small, smiling old man in a black and white photograph.

The two had just stepped out of the mourning hall when they heard footsteps behind them.

"Brother...?" A clear, somewhat childish voice rang out.

Cheng Fei felt that the voice was strangely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

He turned around and saw Ai Kato jogging towards the two of them.

The boy suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn't have come to this place; there were too many familiar faces.

"Ai, do you two know each other?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, hesitant.

"You know your older sister and brother too?" Kato Ai tilted her head, hesitant.

"You two know each other too?" The boy paused for a second, then looked hesitant with feigned seriousness.

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind: he remembered seeing Ai Kato's paintings somewhere before.

The character design of Nagasaki Asuna's avatar, especially the character illustration, seems to be similar to Kato Ai's style. Could their relationship be more complicated than he imagined...?

Although the two only exchanged one sentence, Nagasaki Asuna seemed to sense something, and her gaze towards Cheng Fei became subtle.

In contrast, Kato Ai was much more naive (or silly). When she came up to Cheng Fei, she even explained to him, "Brother, Asuna is my older sister, okay?"

"My older sister? What a coincidence, she's my classmate, haha..." Cheng Fei patted her head, his smile forced.

"What a coincidence," Nagasaki Asuna sighed softly, her hands hidden behind her back as she watched Cheng Fei.

The boy could only keep smiling.

Just then, a stern voice rang out from the side, "Aiyi, come here."

The boy turned his head and met the wary gaze of Yoshiko Kato, who was dressed in mourning clothes.

……

224. The Nagasaki family are yakuza.

Yoshiko Kato forcefully pulled Ai Kato behind her, staring intently at the boy. "What do you want? The Lin's Bank's inspection team doesn't have the authority to track us down here, does they?"

The boy learned firsthand what it means to run into your enemy on a narrow road.

Asuna Nagasaki seemed to understand the situation between the two sides. She glanced coldly at Yoshiko Kato and pulled the boy in another direction. "Cheng Fei, let's go."

The two quickly disappeared from the sight of Kato and her daughter.

"Nana, I thought you and Ai didn't get along." Cheng Fei said calmly.

“Ai comes here to play during holidays and such. She’s only two years younger than me, and we spend a lot of time together. I can’t bring myself to dislike her.” Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head. “So what did Cheng Fei do to her? She seems to like Cheng Fei a lot?”

"Sigh, it was all an accident." The young man looked distressed and told her about the bank incident.

After hearing this, Nagasaki Asuna's eyes filled with deep resentment, "So Cheng Fei would rather go and coax Ai, whom he just met, than coax me..."

"Nana, I only tricked her into eating me to help you get revenge because you hate your mother and assumed you hate her too. I didn't mean to lie to you." The boy shrugged.

"I've already been completely fooled by Cheng Fei?" The girl stared at him. "So what if Ai Yi falls for Cheng Fei?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm leaving in a few days anyway." The boy shrugged.

"Cheng Fei is really heartless, toying with a young girl's feelings so easily," Nagasaki Asuna muttered.

"Who told her to know where the accounts were hidden? You know I've always been driven by profit."

"Is Cheng Fei really not interested in her?" The girl stood on tiptoe and looked into the boy's eyes.

"I'm not a sister-complex girl. I'm not interested in this kind of delicate, flat-chested girl. I'm just playing along with her." The boy met her gaze without any guilt.

"Okay." The girl stepped aside.

"By the way, how are her grades? Is there any chance she can get into Yinghua?" the boy asked, sounding worried.

"Her academic performance is very poor; there's no way she could pass the exam."

"I'm relieved." The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

Asuna Nagasaki led him through a series of turns until they arrived at a secluded room in a corner on the second floor.

"Please come in, this is Nana's room," Nagasaki Asuna introduced.

Cheng Fei walked in without any hesitation and found that it was not the Japanese-style room she had imagined. It was more like her bedroom in Academy City, with all sorts of girly little things on the table and cabinets.

The door behind me closed, followed by the click of it locking from the inside.

Asuna Nagasaki took a deep breath, then clung to him tightly, refusing to let go.

"Cheng Fei, I miss you so much..." The girl buried her head and took a deep breath of her antidote.

"It's only been a few days, that's an exaggeration, classmate." The boy looked down at the pleasant courtyard scenery outside the window.

“But…” Nagasaki Asuna suddenly choked up, her earlier composure gone, “I’m sorry, Cheng Fei, I really…”

A damp sensation gradually spread across the boy's chest.

He looked expressionlessly at the girl in his arms, who was burying her face and remaining motionless.

"Nana, you're only sixteen after all," Cheng Fei remarked, gently patting her back.

Asuna Nagasaki leaned softly against the boy's chest and began to sob softly.

After a long while, the girl raised her head, glistening tears welling up in her red eyes, her thick eyelashes were wet, and her face was covered with tear stains. Her pitiful appearance was more heartbreaking than ever before.

"Cheng Fei... please let me forget everything, okay?" Nagasaki Asuna pleaded, pushing the boy onto her pink bed, snuggling up to him like a cat, her eyes slightly narrowed as she leaned in, as if longing for something.

"I'll barely manage to satisfy you today," Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.

In the midst of the monotonous consolation, the boy gradually began to ponder a question: when exactly did his piano career begin to turn strange?

While it's true that a girl with a sweet voice might indeed be a great instrument.

After a long while, Nagasaki Asuna, having calmed down, left his embrace, knelt on the ground, and reached for her shirt buttons with her fingertips. "Cheng Fei, let me help you..."

"No need, thank you. But if you're in a better mood, I'd like to trouble you to explain the connection between your family and the Yakuza. I'm quite curious about that." The boy stopped her.

“If Cheng Fei wants to know, Nana can explain as she does it…” Nagasaki Asuna looked up, her eyes shimmering with autumn water as she gazed at him.

"Okay, then you go ahead, I'm listening." The boy had no choice but to listen.

Nagasaki Asuna then revealed a satisfied smile, lowered her head and whispered, "Cheng Fei, have you heard of the Nagasaki Group?"

"I don't know much about it."

“The Nagasaki Group is the largest yakuza organization in Tokyo. It was founded by my maternal grandfather, and the current leader is me, um… my mother’s brother, what should I say again?” The girl tilted her head in thought, opening her front armor.

"uncle?"

“Oh right, anyway, the Nagasaki family is a yakuza family.” The girl slowly lowered the front armor. “My mother was quite rebellious. She had me with a businessman from China. The two of them originally planned to elope. My grandfather wanted my father to marry into the family, but he seemed to be scared by yakuza or something. In the end, he abandoned my mother and me and ran away.”

"I see." The boy simply nodded without offering any further comment.

“My maternal grandfather passed away around the same time, so the elders blamed my mother for causing his death. In a fit of anger, my mother abandoned me here, ran away from home, remarried a bank clerk, and changed her surname. More than ten years have passed since then.” The girl’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were lost in her own thoughts.

"As a result, a junior bank clerk became a bank director, and your mother also manages a chain of hotels." The young man looked at her gentle and soothing face with a hint of admiration.

"Hmm, they work very hard in their careers and hardly ever ask their families for help, maybe to prove something." The girl gently controlled the front armor.

“Lin Xuanqi wants to send them to jail,” the boy suddenly said, looking into her eyes.

The girl seemed to sense something, so she raised her head to meet his gaze, then lowered her eyes again, her eyes clear and bright. "It's enough for Cheng Fei to care about me. I probably won't come back to this place again, and the people here have nothing to do with me."

"I understand." The boy breathed a sigh of relief and touched her soft cheek.

The girl tilted her head and obediently leaned in, letting him do as he pleased, and said casually, "Can we start speeding up now?"

"it is good."

"Perhaps because they value their careers too much, Ai doesn't have much supervision. Fortunately, she has artistic talent, so she can live well even when she's alone at home," the girl continued.

"It was clear that she could still continue painting even while her home was being searched," Cheng Fei recalled.

……

225. Two people strolling around

Asuna Nagasaki changed the subject, “After my grandfather passed away, the Nagasaki Group was passed down to my uncles. My grandmother was too old to participate in yakuza affairs, but she seemed to be quite skilled when she was young. Even my grandfather was afraid of her, so she had a high reputation.”

"A person who can teach his granddaughter not to hesitate to strive for what she wants is truly extraordinary," Cheng Fei exclaimed.

This made the girl smile smugly, and she continued, "I grew up here, so everyone knows me. At first, including my grandmother, many people looked at me with strange eyes. I could feel that they all hated me. It took a long time for them to change. Because of my grandmother, they call me Miss. Actually, I have almost nothing to do with them. I just happened to hear the news yesterday and suspected that it was related to Cheng Fei, so I asked them to take me there."

"Really? It feels like if you wave your hand, all those subordinates will want to elect you as the team leader." The boy imagined a little girl growing up here without her parents' care, surrounded by yakuza members, and even her grandmother harboring resentment towards her. He stroked her face, gradually increasing the pressure.

"Nana doesn't want to be a group leader, Nana just wants to be Cheng Fei's cat..." The girl tried to rub against him.

The boy cupped her face, which was brimming with affection, and said, "Nana, you're hopeless..."

……

After leaving the room, Nagasaki Asuna led Cheng Fei away from the mansion.

"I want to take Cheng Fei somewhere." The girl pushed him down the slope.

"Nana, are you really not going to wipe it off?" The boy couldn't help but stare at her.

On the surface, the girl appeared to be normal.

"No, I only feel at ease when I can feel Cheng Fei's presence." The girl protectively covered her chest with her hands, as if afraid that something would be taken away from her.

The boy hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself, wanting to speak but stopping himself again. He had thought about this question many times and finally gave up on futile words.

Asuna Nagasaki led him back the way they came, down a small path to the winding riverbank.

There are no guardrails here. The concrete riverbank leads directly to the clear river water, which is neither deep nor shallow, about one or two meters deep.

The boy and girl stood side by side, looking down at the flowing river, the water occasionally colliding and making a crisp sound.

As if afraid of something, Nagasaki Asuna stood behind Cheng Fei and clung tightly to his arm, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Cheng Fei, I was pushed down here by my mother when I was a child,” the girl suddenly said.

"Why?" The boy was taken aback.

"Maybe they think I'm a burden. If I accidentally drown, it might be a good thing," the girl whispered.

"That's why you're afraid of water." The boy suddenly felt suffocated.

"Yes, I almost drowned. I was rescued by a kind passerby downstream." The girl's gaze followed the winding river, her calm expression revealing a hint of relief.

"Nana, I have to admit, you are indeed a bit pitiful." The boy patted her head.

"So, will Cheng Fei take good care of me?" The girl looked up, blinked, and her eyes were as clear as river water.
