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

The girl's expression changed, and she turned her face away, her eyes flickering.

"Were you touched?" The boy observed her face and smiled with interest.

"Utterly boring rhetoric. With your sweet talk, you'll never be my husband." The girl glared at him fiercely and kicked him hard under the table.

"Teacher Shen, let's not talk about things that were bound to happen sooner or later." Cheng Fei sighed softly, then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, where's Nana?"

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, frowned, and stared at him, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

"Teacher Shen, what kind of expression is that?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Cheng Fei, answer me, how awful does a person have to be to tell one girl they love her one second and then immediately think of another girl the next?" The girl took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly.

"It just feels a little strange, since it seems like it's been a long time since we've had the chance to sit here and chat like this," the boy said calmly.

"So Cheng Feiyu himself knows that it's become a rare thing for the two of us to sit and talk in the club activity room since when it became a rare occurrence. He doesn't know what the point of continuing with you is anymore." Shen Xi sneered heavily.

“Not at all, Your Highness, please calm down. I know you long for time alone, and as long as I don’t have any other plans, I will try my best to keep you company like I did today.” The boy bowed his head.

"Heh, that makes sense. There's a bunch of vixens waiting to meet me, so there's no need to come all the way to the rooftop to get scolded." The girl turned her face away, looking displeased.

"A bunch of vixens is an exaggeration, Teacher Shen. Do you think everyone in the world except yourself is a vixen?"

"Excuse me, but there are only two kinds of girls in this world," Shen Xi said quietly.

"May I ask which two?" the boy hesitated.

"First love, and a vixen." The girl's gaze was icy.

"Teacher Shen, that's too extreme. Although it's cute to frankly admit that it's your first love." The boy felt sweat on his forehead and subconsciously wiped it away.

"I'm just stating the facts. After all, it's unfortunate that you were my first love, and that can't be denied." Shen Xi looked out the window expressionlessly, as if mourning her misguided youth.

"Then I am honored. Although it is a relationship maintained by money, it seems that we appreciate each other."

"Nobody here cares about marine debris."

"Teacher Shen, your mouth is still as stubborn as ever."

After he finished speaking, the club activity room fell silent for a moment.

"She went to find Ye Shuang, but she's not coming today." Shen Xi lowered her eyes and stared at the book.

"You went again? Well, you're really persistent." The boy opened his mouth.

"Cheng Fei, are you feeling great right now?" The girl looked up at him with a cold expression.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Having such a submissive vixen around, who would even actively help you woo other girls," the girl sneered.

"Shen Xi, to be honest, I actually compromised with Ye Shuang on that day of my holiday. We agreed..."

"Cheng Fei, I'm still wondering when you're going to tell me about this." The girl interrupted him, smiling condescendingly.

"You know this too? How come Nana tells you everything?" The boy grabbed his hair, a little unable to accept it.

"But she doesn't accept this result and still wants to go find Ye Shuang. What do you plan to do?" The girl's deep, dark eyes clearly reflected the boy's face, and her voice revealed no emotion.

"I can't possibly scold her and make her come back, can I?" Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Heh, there's nothing you can't do if you want to. Anyway, she's just your pet. If your pet is disobedient, just discipline it properly."

"Teacher Shen, it's not that bad, that's an exaggeration."

"Ultimately, it's probably just that some people still have illusions about Ye Shuang and are deliberately indulging her." Shen Xi narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through him.

"Teacher Shen, you said before that we could turn a blind eye to her, so why are you interfering now?" the boy asked cautiously.

"Don't misunderstand, it's just that I didn't expect this greedy Cheng Feiyu to show some human-like bottom line and restraint. It's a bit of a surprise." Shen Xi said casually.

"What are you talking about? Haven't I always given the impression of being a flirtatious womanizer on the surface but reliable in reality?" the boy said seriously.

"I have to admit that Cheng Feiyu is truly unmatched when it comes to imagination." The girl smiled.

600. Shen Xi has a very strong possessive nature.

"I guess I should just call Nana back and give her a good scolding. That's the end of Ye Shuang's matter." Cheng Fei shook his head and took out his phone.

Shen Xi observed the boy's movements out of the corner of her eye until he pressed the dial button. Then, with an unyielding air, she took the phone back and canceled the dial.

"Teacher Shen, what does this mean?" The boy was completely confused.

“Cheng Fei, I’ve said I’d turn a blind eye to her, you don’t need to pretend here.” The girl frowned slightly as she stared at the boy.

“Shen Xi, I just think it’s good to rationally distance myself from her, as long as she doesn’t interfere in my relationship with Lin Xuanqi. That was my original goal anyway. Having Nana is enough. Ye Shuang is fine as she is. I don’t want to disappoint my princess again.” The boy looked at her with a serious expression.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and the club activity room became deathly silent.

After a moment, Shen Xi subtly shifted her gaze and continued reading her book. After a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Cheng Fei, I will judge you according to my own standards. I said I would allow you to fool around with Ye Shuang outside, as long as you don't openly flirt with her in front of me, or be so infatuated with her that you don't know what you should do, I can turn a blind eye."

"Is this right?" The boy looked at her suspiciously.

Shen Xi raised her chin, her voice icy, "Don't do anything to disappoint me, that's the first line. I personally said what I'm allowed you to do, that's the second line. You can do whatever you want between these two lines. You don't need to draw any more lines for yourself. Please understand that I have no interest in the moral standards of humans on Earth. All you need to do is obey my requirements. I don't want to see you force yourself to show your loyalty and then resent me in the future."

The boy looked at that cool, serious little face that seemed to be explaining some sacred and sublime law, and was a little incredulous. Then he felt relieved and smacked his lips. "Shen Xi, can you come into my arms now?"

"Why?" The girl frowned slightly.

"I just feel that although my Empress is cruel, cold-blooded, and controlling, she is so incredibly cute that I want to hug her." The boy looked at her casually.

"No." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes in an instant, her hands covering her chest and her face wary. "Unless you plan to hold this week's meeting tonight, don't even think about touching me."

"Okay, you're as strict as ever." Cheng Fei shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Ye Shuang's matter myself. I won't blame my little darling no matter what."

"I hope so," Shen Xi sneered.

"By the way, Teacher Shen, do you have anything you want me to do with you today?" the boy thought for a moment.

The girl paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No, the relative I contacted to meet me is at work today and doesn't have time."

"I understand. I don't have anything to do for the time being. That reporter Tang is quite wary of me, and I can't get any useful information out of him."

"What are you trying to say?" Shen Xi pondered for a second, then asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just making sure we're all okay so we can sit here peacefully." The boy shrugged and lowered his head to work on his homework.

"I understand." The girl next to her also lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the club activity room became quiet, like that afternoon when the girl first announced the club's founding goal to the boy. The two were focused on their own tasks, with only the scratching of pens on paper and the sunlight streaming in from the window making the dust particles in the air sparkle.

Now, however, there is an invisible connection between the two, as if even their breathing rhythms are quietly synchronized, and some kind of vine is growing wildly in every corner of the room, connecting the two together.

"Shen Xi, I love you," the boy said without looking up.

"Don't make a sound." The girl frowned, as if she had encountered some kind of problem in her book. Under the table, her small feet, covered in milky white socks and black uniform shoes, gave him a light kick.

“I want to marry you, and then…” The boy suddenly shut his mouth.

The girl frowned, waited a few seconds, then suddenly looked up and glared at him, "Has Cheng Feiyu finally gone so crazy that his brain short-circuited?"

"Aren't you eager to know what happens next? You can't wait to pry my mouth open and hear what I have to say?" The boy looked up at her, a smug look on his face, as if he had just pulled off a prank.

"Boring and absurd!" The girl's expression changed, she kicked him hard under the table, gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and stared intently at the book.

The air in the room was quiet for a moment.

"Then I made Teacher Shen, with a look of disgust but also willingly fulfill all my requests, such as picking up Teacher Shen's soft and cuddly little feet that she always kicked at me..."

"Enough! What on earth has stimulated the brains of aquatic mammals to suddenly start generating these filthy delusions?" The girl shivered and interrupted him with a look of disgust.

"Since you won't let me hug you, I can only fantasize about you." The boy shook his head as if it were the most natural thing in the world, while doing his homework.

"It was my fault for not paying attention to the rats on the roadside that got more excited the more they were stepped on." The girl took a deep breath and turned her attention back to her book with an annoyed look.

"Teacher Shen, if I were a mouse, you would be a fragrant and soft cheese, obediently dragged into the sewer and eaten by me."

"Cheng Fei, that's enough, shut up, or I'll throw up." The girl covered her mouth, her pure, dark eyes becoming empty.

"Okay, I feel better now. Thank you for your cooperation, Teacher Shen." The boy let out a long breath, as if he had accomplished some kind of goal.

The girl stared at the book, her face pale.

Some time has passed.

"Cheng Fei, what is that?" Shen Xi asked in confusion.

The boy looked up and found the girl staring at the back of his hand. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "I accidentally cut myself with the band-aid I bought. Isn't it cute? Actually, I was in a hurry and didn't have a choice. You know how pharmacies on the street always recommend the expensive stuff."

Shen Xi stared into his eyes for a second, her face expressionless, "Which girl put that on you?"

"Teacher Shen, Nana has finally passed on her unique skills to you?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

"Trash, hand it over!" the girl commanded with an air of absolute authority.

“Okay, if you don’t like it, it’s okay to tear it off. It’s just a small scratch. I didn’t want to put it on in the first place, but Zhou Han insisted on it, Shen Xi.” The boy placed his hand in front of the girl as instructed.

The girl gently peeled off the pink patterned band-aid and placed it aside. Seeing the wound, she frowned slightly, quickly rummaged through her bag, took out a new band-aid, and applied it to the wound.

"That feels better, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Also, it's kind of cute that you're so possessive and won't let other girls put on bandages." Cheng Fei raised his hand and looked at it, noticing that the style was very ordinary and had no special features. "By the way, why is it so loose?"

601. Two people buying drinks at the back door

"It's already scabbed over, this is just for protection. Keeping it breathable will help the wound heal better. Remember not to get it wet." The girl, like a cold nurse, threw Zhou Han's pink bandage into the trash can.

"I never thought my little cutie would be so knowledgeable about life. Also, it seems a bit difficult to avoid getting wet. How about I take this opportunity to come to my house and take care of me to trigger the affection event?" The boy was full of anticipation.

The girl scoffed and ignored him.

"Teacher Shen, what do you mean?"

"Someone with the vitality of a rat in a sewer, who only has a one-centimeter-long superficial wound on his hand, has the nerve to ask a girl to come to his house to take care of him?" the girl said sarcastically.

"Fine, as indifferent as ever. I guess I'll just let my wound get wet, cause bacterial infection, and lead to multiple organ failure so I can die on my own." The boy sighed with a relaxed expression.

Shen Xi frowned, paused for a second, and said, "If it's really necessary, I will of course take care of you as a matter of responsibility. Don't be like that vixen who likes to play the victim and spout nonsense about moral blackmail. It's really disgusting."

"Okay, I was wrong. I also believe that if I were injured, my little cutie would do anything to save me." The boy lowered his head. "But Nana also has her own way of surviving, so please don't make fun of her like that in front of her."

"Heh, how sarcastic. I really feel sorry for her. She really is Cheng Feiyu, completely bewitched by a vixen." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

"By the way, does 'fulfilling responsibilities' mean fulfilling the responsibilities of a future wife?"

"I'm sorry, I was just fulfilling my duty as a master. I wouldn't stand idly by if my somewhat loyal servant got injured."

"I see. So, even if a loyal servant did something excessive to his master's soft, delicate little feet, it must be forgivable..."

“Cheng Fei, your symptoms have been getting worse lately. I think it would be better if I accompanied you to see a psychiatrist.” Shen Xi interrupted him with a look of disgust, her legs instinctively shrinking back, her expression full of worry.

"Teacher Shen, don't you understand? My love for you is growing deeper and deeper, but it's been suppressed and I can't find a place to vent it. It's only natural that it's become distorted over time. In the end, it's all your fault. As long as you frankly agree to marry me and fulfill your duties as a wife, this problem will be easily solved, right?" The boy shrugged and continued taking notes.

The girl glared at him. "Cheng Feiyu is at it again with his signature victim-blaming rhetoric. It's you who still hasn't distanced yourself from that Lin guy. I've already made the biggest concession by tolerating your endless mental abuse with your filthy gaze and words every day, not to mention allowing you to hold hands and hug me freely one day a week. And yet you still dare to spout such shameless nonsense. Do aquatic mammals really have no sense of shame at all?"

"Teacher Shen, I know you're anxious. To be honest, I almost strangled Lin Xuanqi last night. I barely managed to restrain myself. Rationally speaking, I've won over Ye Shuang, so it's clear I'm keeping my promise. Getting rid of Lin Xuanqi is just a matter of time. Since that's the case, how about we each take a step back and start holding hands or hugging casually every day from today?" Cheng Fei said seriously.

"Daydreaming. Stop your illogical and clumsy rhetoric. I also advise you to give up your plan to kill that Lin guy, otherwise I don't even want to think about what will happen to Ye Shuang."

"That's true, she's just too loyal to Lin Xuanqi." The boy shook his head, looking helpless.

"Besides, Cheng Feiyu speaks so frankly, but who knows if he really has the courage to kill that Lin guy?" Shen Xi suddenly sneered.

"Teacher Shen, you're underestimating me. My greatest strength is my courage. Killing a woman is nothing." The boy curled his lip, looking disdainful.

"Ha, I think your biggest advantage is spouting nonsense. Can you guarantee that you'll still be ruthless when that Lin guy is completely devoted to you?" The girl looked directly into his eyes, her pure, dark pupils seemingly seeing through everything.

“Of course, I can swear to the ivy by the door that I will never be soft on Lin Xuanqi.” The boy raised a hand, his face serious.

"I hope so." The girl chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.

In these kinds of cryptic conversations, the two spent some long-awaited time alone in the club activity room.

As the sun set, the slanting orange-red light filled the room, immersing everything in a captivating atmosphere. The aloof girl with long, dark hair closed her book, gave the boy a light kick under the table, raised her chin, and said expressionlessly, "Servant, take me home."

"Yes, Your Highness." The young man withdrew his domain, folded the books and documents, and put them into his bag.

After Shen Xi locked the door, the two walked out of the club activity building one after the other, maintaining a subtle distance as they walked side by side.
