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

"Fine, enough with the illogical ramblings. Let's begin." The girl remained motionless.

"Start what?"

"Confess your crimes," the girl said coldly.

"The crimes are too outrageous." The young man gently stroked her waist-length hair. "Tell me first what Lin Xuanqi told you?"

"You and Ye Shuang went on a business trip," the girl said in a muffled voice, her head bowed.

"that's it?"

"Ah."

“Okay, let’s start from the beginning. My mission with her was to capture a man named Ding Sheng. We initially thought he was just a high-IQ criminal, but it turned out he was a cyborg…”

In the following time, the boy briefly explained what had happened, omitting certain unnecessary or unspeakable details.

Shen Xi listened without moving, then remained silent for a moment with her head down. "Are you sure that ship called Black Shark attacked us near the corridor?"

"It may not be the same one, but it's definitely the same style." Cheng Fei gently stroked the back of her head and spine.

"I'll go have Isena check the location of the corridor back then." The girl immediately tried to get up from the embrace.

"Shen Xi, how about we talk about this later?" The young man tightened his grip on her.

The girl remained silent for a moment, offering no objection, then murmured to herself, "So, behind Ding Sheng is Avalanche. It's not surprising that Avalanche possesses this level of technology..."

507. What Shen Xi cares about is

“Avalanche is more active than we expected. They not only run games, but also use technology crimes to make money,” Cheng Fei said.

“That’s right, just like you,” the girl said casually.

The boy opened his mouth, "Teacher Shen, so far, the orders I've given to Xiao Yi haven't involved any crimes, have they?"

"Perhaps," the girl said coldly. "Where did Ding Sheng's body go? Did you examine it carefully?"

"Although I wanted to dissect him or something, the situation was urgent at the time, and he is probably sunk into the trench with the cruise ship now."

"What about other personal belongings?"

"At the time, we only found a satellite phone, which was then tracked down, and nothing was left behind."

"Trash, so you'll do anything to save your life."

"In that situation, escaping is of course the top priority, otherwise what if my little darling never sees me again?"

"Disgusting." The girl squirmed.

"However, the first mate has been arrested. I exchanged contact information with Interpol, and they promised to inform me of any leads they find during the investigation. Ye Shuang will also let me know if there are any new discoveries in the loan fraud case."

"She really knows how to please everyone." The girl suddenly sneered.

"How can I serve Her Majesty the Empress if I don't do this?"

"Disgusting, please get to the point." The girl snorted.

"Aren't we getting to the point?" the boy asked, startled.

"Heh, don't think I can't tell you're being vague and trying to hide the dirty, underhanded things you did to Ye Shuang. Now, confess honestly." The girl twisted her body forcefully, as if in warning.

The boy suddenly stiffened and fell silent.

"You're too scared to talk? Don't forget you promised to tell the truth. If you go back on your word now, I'll be disappointed." The girl's arms around his neck tightened slowly, as if she would fight him to the death if he dared to say a word against her.

"Shen Xi, do you know what I really want right now? I just want to ignore everything and take you all." The boy whispered in her ear, his tone dangerous, like a wild beast poised to pounce.

The girl trembled, buried her face, gritted her teeth, and her eyes flickered. "Cheng Fei! What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

"Don't be nervous, I just really want to. I won't do anything until you agree." The young man gently stroked her smooth back.

"Trash, so you're threatening me? You did something wrong but don't dare admit it, yet you say things like this to me. It's utterly disappointing." The girl's tone turned angry.

"It has nothing to do with that, but Your Highness, please don't twist around like that, otherwise you might really put yourself in danger. You have no idea how much you're breaking the rules." The boy said seriously.

The girl paused for a moment, her body tensing, and said bitterly, "Hopeless! I was crazy too, I actually forgot that agreeing to do this kind of thing for you was putting myself in danger."

"Because you trust me, don't you?"

"Stop beating around the bush, are you going to get to the point or not?" The girl tightened her grip on his neck.

"You've already admitted it, so what's there to be afraid of? But Shen Xi, are you now treating this as the main topic? We're clearly having a routine meeting, yet you're most concerned about relationship issues. What exactly is our relationship?"

"Here we go again. Please understand that this situation is the result of your endless pushing your luck. I'm only reluctantly satisfying your filthy and despicable desires because you agreed to be honest. We're just friends. Nobody here has a special relationship with you. Besides, you only brought back that little bit of information anyway, so there's no point in agonizing over it. What exactly did you and Ye Shuang do that affects whether we should continue? That's the main point, of course." The girl's tone was icy.

"Okay, that's really flawless. But if we're just friends, even if I really did something with Ye Shuang, even if we secretly got together, it should be Lin Xuanqi who has a problem with it. Why do you care?" The boy said playfully.

"Cheng Fei, you're still grinning at a time like this. We don't need to wait until you break up with Lin Xuanqi, this is the end of it." The girl's eyes were unfocused, and her words were devoid of emotion.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, my attitude was wrong." The boy quickly corrected himself.

"How much more nonsense do you want to spout? Spit it out!" The girl tightened her grip on his neck.

"It seems you really care, and you don't want to say another word."

"Cheng Fei!" the girl gritted her teeth.

"Okay." The boy first moved one hand down to her frail waist and hugged her tightly.

"Cheng Fei, what exactly do you want to do?" The girl's tone was tinged with unease.

"Don't be afraid, this is just in case you struggle or try to run away later."

The girl took a deep breath and remained silent.

"Shen Xi, I kissed Ye Shuang while she was choking on water and lost consciousness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark room fell into dead silence.

"Shen Xi, are you angry?" The young man hugged the slender, delicate body in his arms tightly.

"And then," the girl's voice, devoid of emotion, rang out.

"That's all. That's all I did."

"Why?" The girl's voice was utterly calm.

"It's not because I like you, I'm already very satisfied with you and Nana."

"You do have that vixen, but I have nothing to do with you." The calm voice remained unchanged.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Empress is pure and virtuous; it was all just my wishful thinking." The boy hugged her even tighter.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me a reason."

"There are other reasons, but that's a secret and I can't tell you."

The girl kept her head down in silence, took a deep breath, and slowly tightened her grip on his neck, her nails digging into the skin near his shoulder. Her voice trembled slightly, "Say what you can say. You know this isn't enough, Cheng Fei."

"Yes, I know." The young man gently stroked the slender, delicate waist. "Shen Xi, do you know that Ye Shuang has superpowers?"

"I don't know, what kind of superpower?" the girl asked calmly.

She named herself Star Platinum.

"Can't understand."

"It's probably because she can slow down time in the outside world without affecting her own actions."

How large is the area?

"Without boundaries, the whole world slows down."

"Impossible, then it can only be that she has become faster on her own." The girl said without hesitation.

"As expected of my brilliant and intelligent teacher, Ms. Shen."

"Even I didn't know about this, how did you know?"

“I talked to her and we exchanged some secrets,” the boy said, his tone unchanged.

The girl suddenly trembled, her small hands clenched tightly, and her words carried a hint of indescribable emotion, "Cheng Fei, what exactly is your relationship with her now?"

"Shen Xi, don't rush, listen to me. She and I discovered each other's abilities by chance during a sparring session. We absolutely have no other relationship." The boy spoke quickly.

The girl seemed to sense something and raised her head, her deep, dark eyes meeting the boy's. With the help of the dim light coming in from the window, the two were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath.

508. Cheng Fei thought Shen Xi was frivolous.

The girl's soft voice held an unusual urgency, "Cheng Fei, tell me, what is your ability?"

"My name is Shi Ling."

"I don't understand." The girl frowned slightly, squinting her eyes as if trying to see through the boy.

“Similar to her, I can also slow down the time I perceive without affecting my actions.” The boy and girl looked at each other, not avoiding her scrutinizing gaze.

"Call me by my name." The girl frowned, looking puzzled.

"Shen Xi, everything I said is true, I didn't lie to you."

"So that's why you would..." The girl's eyes flickered.

"Yes, Ye Shuang is the same."

The girl buried her head back in the boy's arms, then looked up at him thoughtfully after a moment. "This doesn't explain the flowers you gave me and the body lotion you gave to the vixen."

"She told you about the body lotion too?" The boy was stunned.

"Cheng Fei, you two-faced piece of trash, how dare you ask me that?" the girl glared at him.

"Okay, I don't know what the body lotion does either. If it works, I'll give it to you, Shen Xi." The boy hugged her waist and back tightly.

"They always make it sound so nice. If I didn't tell them, I'd probably be kept in the dark my whole life." The girl instinctively lowered her head and pressed herself close to him, her small hands gripping his shoulders tightly, her tone annoyed.

"The feeling of being worried about being kept in the dark is also cute."

"Stop your disgusting nonsense and answer the question." The girl's slender legs clamped down on him from both sides.

"What's the problem?"

"He's starting to play the fool again. The so-called 'Time Zero' can't explain the flowers and body lotion."

"That's another secret, Shen Xi."

"Trash, how many secrets do you have that you can't let anyone see in the light of day?" the girl asked in a muffled voice, her face buried in her hands.

"Shen Xi, if I could, I would like to tell you everything, but I can't. Just remember what I'm about to say and don't ask any more questions, okay?" The young man gently stroked her waist and back, as if comforting a cat with its fur standing on end.

"So you only told me this because you felt guilty and had no other choice." The girl was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Not entirely. I only realized it was okay to tell you this part after I learned about Ye Shuang's abilities, so even if I didn't steal a kiss from her, I would definitely find a chance to tell you."

"So I don't deny that I have a guilty conscience." The girl gave a heavy, cold laugh.

“Shen Xi, I love you. Of course I feel guilty for doing this. I had a special reason for kissing her. I think it’s better to be honest than to hide it from you and wait for you to ask and then overthink. I know you won’t mind, right?” The boy buried his face in her long hair.

"Cheng Fei, so you're just taking advantage of my tolerance!" The girl gritted her teeth, her small hands clenching to punch his shoulder, the weak force posing no threat whatsoever.

"I didn't mean that. I just felt that this kind of thing wouldn't affect the trust between us, Shen Xi. Don't worry, I know how much you value me, and I will never betray you no matter what. You have to believe in the bond between us, and you don't need to worry unnecessarily." The boy's hand slid behind her head.

"Cheng Feiyu, stop trying to change the subject with your fluff!" The girl punched him again while keeping her head down.

"So Her Majesty the Queen has unlocked a new way to attack? After kicking and biting, now she's using her fists."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The girl raised her voice, took a deep breath, and then softened her tone, "Say what you're going to say first."

"Alright, I knew Her Majesty could remain rational." The young man breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Did you know that Lin Xuanqi also has special abilities?"

"What ability?"

"It's hard to describe. This is what Ye Shuang told me. Lin Xuanqi's intuition is very accurate. For example, she sensed that Ye Shuang was in danger this time, and it came true. If I'm not mistaken, her success in investing also relies on this ability."

The girl paused for a second, then said, "I didn't know such a thing existed."

"Given your relationship, she probably only told Ye Shuang. By the way, don't confront them about these things. Ye Shuang only told me."
