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

"Cheng Fei, you can't even endure this little bit of time? You're spineless." Lin Xuanqi tried to calm herself down, forced a cold laugh, and pinched his waist. "If you go in there again, I'll chop your hand off."

"Xuanqi, aren't you the same?" the boy asked, settling for second best.

"You like this black fabric that much?"

“I’m not interested in ordinary cloth, but it’s different because it’s wrapped around your legs.”

"Ha, what does this mean?"

"It has a texture like chocolate, and it always feels delicious."

"I see. Well then, you'd better eat properly and show me."

"I couldn't ask for more, Xuanqi, do you know that what I like most is the way you look in your school uniform?"

"why?"

"She has a cute demeanor, but she is more mature than the average student."

So, do you prefer cute or mature?

"I like them both, because Xuanqi, you have such a cute face and a mature figure. I just don't understand how there can be such an alluring girl like you in this world."

"You're so glib; I've never seen anyone else who would dare accuse me of seducing someone except you."

"That's because they weren't brave enough. By the way, Xuanqi, there's something I wanted to ask you."

"what?"

"Why is my salary 800,000 this month?"

"What, is it too much or too little?"

"It's strange, I haven't been paid a single day of work this month, but I've still gotten more money. Does that mean the less you go to the company, the more money you get?"

"What nonsense are you thinking? Of course your salary will increase after your probation period. Besides, you're my secretary, and I gave you a bonus equivalent to six months' salary for my project in South America. Also, didn't you get injured on the job while on a business trip to Tokyo?"

"Hmm, that makes sense... Xuanqi, I love you!"

"You only love me because you're rich, huh? Get lost."

"Of course, I'm only with you for the money."

"You really dare to say that. Get out of here."

"Just kidding, but I love you too. There's not a part of you I don't love from head to toe."

"Ha, you really love me from head to toe?"

"It's true."

"Then prove it to me, my good dog."

"I'll only prove it when you call me husband."

"Trying to negotiate with me again? Cheng Fei, I think you're asking for death..." The girl's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Xuanqi, I was wrong."

"Just kidding, how could anyone possibly kill you... Husband~" He chuckled mischievously and breathed into the boy's ear.

"..."

"Hehe, how about it, do you like me calling you that?" A mischievous smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Xuanqi, you're finished."

"What? You can't even be teased a little... Waaah!"

……

On Tuesday, Cheng Fei asked for leave and did not come to school.

……

The last period on Wednesday afternoon was physical education class.

A spontaneous 3V3 basketball game is underway, with the two teams from Class 6 and Class 7 of Grade 11 respectively. Each team is led by a member of the basketball club and two classmates.

Specifically, Chen Hao, the vice class monitor, and Cheng Fei will be representing Class 6.

The latter's presence is the fundamental reason why this originally inconspicuous friendly match attracted a large audience.

Go Cheng Fei!

Go Cheng Fei!

Go Cheng Fei!

Such cries from young girls rang out one after another.

At first, only Zhou Han took the lead in shouting, but under the leadership of the petite girl who was small in stature but full of energy, it turned into a wave of cheers from the girls.

"So why are you guys cheering for Cheng Fei too?!" The boys from Class 7 who were watching screamed in despair.

"Why can't we cheer for Cheng Fei...?"

"This is a friendly match..."

"Boys are just stingy..."

The girls from Class 7, who were shouting enthusiastically, responded in this way.

On the field, the ball is currently in the hands of the vice class monitor of Class 6.

"Hey!" Chen Hao ran to the restricted area under the basket and shouted.

The bottom-ranked player, positioned beyond the three-point line, dribbled while scanning his defender, waiting for an opportunity to bounce a pass.

The accuracy was acceptable, but the power was slightly insufficient, and the ball's speed noticeably decreased after hitting the ground and bouncing back up.

Before the ball reached Chen Hao's hands, a player from Class 7 made a nimble steal.

The two sides switched between offense and defense.

The ball was quickly brought to the three-point line, and then a powerful overhead pass flew to the teammate waiting on the other side of the court.

A ball flying rapidly through the air is almost impossible to intercept, everyone present thought so.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and disappeared.

The agile boy suddenly leaped up, intercepting the ball at its highest point, landing with both feet, his sneakers making a crisp creaking sound as they rubbed against the ground.

"It's Cheng Fei!"

"So handsome!"

The girls' eyes were completely focused on one person. His black hair, damp with sweat, and his deep features gave him a youthful and dashing look, while his explosive physique exuded a reliable sense of power. They were so captivated by him that they almost fainted on the spot.

Cheng Fei made a brief dribbling run, followed by a concealed one-handed side pass, leaving his defender no time to react.

The ball landed in Chen Hao's hands, who had just passed it to the three-point line. He then performed a series of flashy crossover dribbles in front of his opponents.

The skillful technique drew gasps of amazement from the boys who enjoyed playing basketball.

Chen Hao and his opponent were locked in a stalemate for a moment, then Chen Hao used a rhythmic feint to toss the ball high into the air.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the ball spun in mid-air before being caught suddenly.

Cheng Fei landed with the ball in his arms.

His opponent, who was desperately chasing him from behind, bent over with his arms outstretched, his resolute eyes fixed on him, as if determined to stop him.

Cheng Fei's equally sharp gaze met his opponent's for a fleeting moment before he suddenly turned and passed him.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Fei had already dribbled the ball behind his opponent, so fast that it was almost impossible to see what he did.

This action caused the girls to scream in surprise.

The boy held the ball in both hands and strode forward.

In basketball rules, a player is considered to have traveled if he takes more than one step while holding the ball. An exception is a shot while moving, in which a player can take two steps to approach the basket and then jump to shoot on the third step, which is known as a three-step layup.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the boy approached the basket with unstoppable strides, increasing his speed with each step, and leaping high into the air on his third step.

The ball was violently slammed into the basket by the boy with both hands, leaving no room for error.

With a loud bang, the basketball hoop shook violently.

The boy gripped the rim and wobbled a bit before landing steadily behind the ball.

"Beautiful!" Chen Hao clapped his hands loudly.

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief and, while jogging, raised his index finger to remind Du Xinhua, who was acting as the referee, and another classmate from Class 7 to keep score.

The girls stared at the boy's calm and confident face, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, they burst into another round of uncontrollable screams.

……

253. Shen Xi did not peek.

The match ended with Class 6's three players winning by a large margin.

Cheng Fei's several amazing and powerful dunks became a hot topic among the students.

"He looks just like an NBA star!"

"Actually, Cheng Fei's technique is pretty amateurish. This guy is just physically abnormal; he never gets tired when he runs and his jumping ability is terrifying..."

"But he's so handsome!"

"Exactly, I think he's like Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk..."

Amidst various discussions, the aloof girl with long, dark hair walked by expressionlessly, her slender figure heading alone towards the edge of the sports field.

Cheng Fei and his friends were stretching after exercising on the sidelines of the court.

"Damn it! I suddenly regret organizing this match." Chen Hao punched his leg.

"Why?" Du Xinhua, with his hands behind his head, looked relaxed.

"That kid Cheng Fei stole all the limelight; not a single girl paid any attention to my fancy dribbling!" Chen Hao said indignantly.

"Looking on the bright side, you still attracted a lot of attention from the boys." The vice class monitor, who was just there to make up the numbers, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Cheng Fei, standing next to him, stretched his leg on the railing, staring at his phone in silence.

"Hey Cheng Fei, have you ever thought about joining the basketball team?" Chen Hao said.

"Huh?" The boy looked up, then shook his head. "I never thought about it."

"You have exceptional talent. Why don't you give it a try? Our coach will definitely love you."

"Is the coach a beautiful girl?"

“It’s an old man.” Chen Hao looked at him.

"Never mind then." The boy shook his head.

"Although the coach is an old man, the senior female manager is a beauty."

"I don't like older people."

"You little rascal! Have you ever thought about participating in this year's inter-school league? It's a grand event that all the high schools in Academy City are watching. If you come to the basketball club and practice hard now, you'll definitely be able to play. If we join forces and make it to the Academy Dome, all the beautiful girls in Sakura will cheer for you. What do you say?" Chen Hao coaxed patiently.

Du Xinhua stroked his chin. "The Academy Dome? You mean the largest gymnasium in Academy City? I do want to go there once, even though I'm not really interested in sports."

Cheng Fei pondered for a second, "But even if I don't go to the Academy Dome, the girls at Sakura will still cheer for me."

"I guess I should just get rid of you, kid..." Chen Hao rolled up his sleeves.

"Calm down, I don't think you can really beat Cheng Fei right now," Du Xinhua said, glancing sideways.

"Are you kidding me? He wouldn't even dare to arm wrestle with me. Don't let him scare you after watching just one game..."

Leaving aside the two on this side, the vice squad leader came up to Cheng Fei and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"This?" Cheng Fei glanced at his phone screen. "I'm practicing for my driving test."

"Get a driver's license? You need to be at least sixteen years old." The vice class monitor pushed up his glasses.

"My girlfriend told me to start learning early, and she'll arrange an exam as soon as I turn sixteen."
