Once completed, it was handed over to a girl named Shen Xi.

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else." Cheng Fei decided to go back and intensify his studies.

The ancients said that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and an 8-point intelligence may still have a chance to beat a 9-point one.

Cheng Fei walked to the door, and behind him rang the girl's clear, cold voice, "Stop."

"what happened?"

"Are you sure this is your game ID? Where is my system ID #2887?" Shen Xi frowned.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Shen Xi".

"My game ID?"

"..."

"I don't know?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"Who can recognize this jumble of characters?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi's face turned cold, showing a kind of embarrassment and anger after being tricked. "You opened the box for me?"

"No, it's just a coincidence."

Do you think I'd believe that?

"Even though it's an online relationship, there should still be some trust between lovers, right?" Seeing that she had misunderstood, Cheng Fei turned around to explain and closed the door behind him.

However, this action seemed to deepen the misunderstanding.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, Academy City has zero tolerance for students who break the law." Shen Xi put one hand in front of her chest, looking wary, like an innocent girl cornered by thugs in an alley.

"Please, we're classmates. What do you think I'm going to do?" Cheng Fei pointed to his Sakura school uniform.

Shen Xi was startled and reached for the pen holder on the table, as if she was about to throw it at Cheng Fei as a weapon if things went wrong. "Did you steal the school uniform and sneak in?"

"You have a very vivid imagination. I said it was just a coincidence today."

"How did you happen to know my game ID?"

"Rumors from the school." Cheng Fei scoffed.

"Impossible, nobody in real life knows my game ID." Shen Xi stared intently at Cheng Fei.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to not have a single friend in real life." Cheng Fei said in silence.

"Stop talking nonsense. I advise you to give up those filthy thoughts and think about your family. How sad they would be if you went to jail."

Cheng Fei noticed her nervousness and chuckled, "Well, it's a good thing I'm an orphan."

Shen Xi stopped talking, pursed her lips, stood up, and kept glancing at the window, as if considering an escape route.

Cheng Fei was afraid that she would be so frightened that she would try to climb out the window. Although it was a flat rooftop outside, someone with only 3 points of agility might still fall and get injured. So he raised his hand to signal her to calm down.

"Think what you want, I'm leaving now. By the way, I'll apply to leave club activities early on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from now on. Please approve, Minister. That's all."

After saying that, Cheng Fei ignored the girl's flushed face and turned pale, and simply turned and left the stuffy room.

……

On Wednesday, Cheng Fei went to work after school.

Whether Shen Xi would approve his early departure application was unknown. If she didn't approve, Cheng Fei wouldn't need to stay in that club, so it didn't matter.

On Thursday, Cheng Fei stayed in the classroom to work on math problems.

I accidentally lost five points in math on the last monthly exam. If I can get those five points back on the next monthly exam, my chances of beating Shen Xi will be even greater.

Woman, I want you to swallow the bitter pill of arrogance...

"Hey Cheng Fei, how's the club stuff going?" Chen Hao made a shooting motion and jumped over from the side.

Cheng Fei didn't even look up. "I've been accepted into the department."

"As expected of you." Chen Hao said, raising an eyebrow with a smug look. "How about it? I wasn't wrong, was I? A top-tier beautiful girl as the department head."

"Aside from her appearance, it's hard to comment on anything else."

"Very sarcastic?"

"You know that."

"I know, that's why I didn't dare go. I heard the people who went before got really scolded, haha." Chen Hao gloated, then stroked his chin and looked Cheng Fei up and down, "But Cheng Fei, you... you're actually quite handsome, and your grades are good too, how come she's still not satisfied?"

"After all, she's first in her grade."

"Huh?" Chen Hao's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a light bulb.

"It seems your intelligence network isn't strong enough; you actually missed this one."

Chen Hao smacked his lips. "Well, anyway, it's good that you've found a club."

"It's hard to say, I might get fired tomorrow." Cheng Fei thought of Shen Xi's unpredictable expression before they parted.

Perhaps the online relationship will also end, so Cheng Fei will have no choice but to try his luck with the person in the gaming department. Cheng Fei's only hope is that the dating fee won't have to be refunded.

"Who wants to fire you?" A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them.

5. I like you so much that I did something illegal.

Cheng Fei turned around and saw Shen Xi walk in through the back door of the classroom at some point. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest and was looking down at the two of them with her deep, dark eyes, surrounded by an aura that kept strangers at bay.

The next second, Chen Hao stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the basketball club."

The students who hadn't left the classroom all stared at Shen Xi as she arrived.

There are many beautiful teenagers, but she is in a class of her own in terms of both appearance and temperament.

"Why are you here?" Cheng Fei asked.

"I'm looking for you." Shen Xi said expressionlessly.

"What do you want from me?"

Why not go to the club activity room?

"I have to work on Wednesday, so I've applied for early retirement for you."

"Today is Thursday." Shen Xi remained expressionless.

I thought you'd be happier if I didn't go.

"Then I might as well just fire you."

"I thought that was your plan."

“You think you’re wrong? That’s exactly why you’re second in your grade.” Shen Xi glanced at the math exercises on Cheng Fei’s desk. “Instead of just doing endless practice problems, engaging in more real-life experiences and building a comprehensive knowledge system will make learning much more efficient.”

"Like playing games?"

“It’s research,” Shen Xi insisted, “Alright, now fulfill your duties as a member and come with me to do club activities.”

Cheng Fei asked, "Can I study in the club activity room?"

"If you can multitask." With that, Shen Xi walked out of the classroom first.

Cheng Fei sighed, packed his things, and followed her.

Starting from the teaching building, they walked through the long corridor covered with wisteria to the club activity building, one after the other, without exchanging a word.

As Cheng Fei walked into the building, he noticed someone standing to his side.

It's that Japanese exchange student from the game club, her name is Asuna.

She stood with her legs together, straight, against the wall, her hands hidden behind her back, and her upper body leaning forward to look out.

As Shen Xi passed by, she stared at Shen Xi, but Shen Xi completely ignored her.

Then she looked at Cheng Fei behind her, and their eyes met. The girl seemed thoughtful at first, then tilted her head and revealed a gentle smile.

Cheng Fei noticed that the shape of her chest was fuller than that of a certain narrow-minded classmate, Shen Xi.

Because she was so proactive and friendly, Cheng Fei had no choice but to nod to her as a return gesture.

……

After climbing six floors in one go, Shen Xi was panting heavily.

Cheng Fei glanced at her chest, which rose and fell with her breath, and it looked like two fried eggs, quite pitiful.

Of course, Cheng Fei's physical fitness wasn't much better either. Standing at the door of the club activity room, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

“Hey, why is your activity room on the rooftop? It’s hot and hard to climb.” Cheng Fei asked, tugging at his collar.

"Shut up, this is the result of my hard-won negotiations with the student council." Shen Xi glared at Cheng Fei and unlocked the door with her key.

"Minister, does our club have activity funds?" Cheng Fei asked again.

"Although it's not exactly a hobby club, it's still a formal organization, but it doesn't."

"I request to use the activity funds to purchase an electric fan." After the door opened, Cheng Fei felt a wave of heat hit him. The room, which had been scorching hot all afternoon, was even hotter than the outside.

"I told you there's no funding for the activity." Shen Xi frowned and walked into the activity room, under Cheng Fei's gaze as he looked at the Warriors.

Cheng Fei imagined her being scorched by the high temperature, her long, black hair burning, and her whole body turning to ashes.

Of course, the real Shen Xi did not burn to death. She quickly walked to the window and opened all the windows.

A gust of wind blew in, creating a draft against the airflow at the door, and Cheng Fei finally felt a bit better before entering the room, leaving the door open again.

"Aren't you afraid of me anymore?" Cheng Fei asked.

"I checked, you are indeed a student in Class 6 of the first year of high school." Shen Xi said calmly, as if she wasn't the one who was so nervous yesterday that she wanted to jump out of the window.

“Everyone says we should have trust between us.” Cheng Fei put his schoolbag on the table, sat down, and then took out his math practice books and spread them out.

Shen Xi stared at his actions, "But you still opened my box, otherwise you wouldn't have known my game ID."

"I like you so much that I did something illegal. Please understand." Cheng Fei lowered his head and wrote a calculation on the paper.

Shen Xi acted as if she hadn't heard Cheng Fei's confession, "I'm actually quite curious how you did it? As far as I know, the user data at Corridor is very well protected."

“Everyone has secrets they can’t tell, and so do I.” Cheng Fei made a shushing gesture.

Shen Xi paused for a second, then raised her chin. "I'll figure it out."

"Keep it up," Cheng Fei sincerely wished her.

After a few minutes of silence, Shen Xi asked, "Speak something meaningful. When do you plan to submit your research report?"

"What research topic?" Cheng Fei looked up.

"Observational Record Regarding Players' Self-Release Activities in the Game—"

"Stop." Cheng Fei looked at the girl who remained expressionless. "Everything else is fine, but there's one task I can't do."

"Game functionality is not allowed?"

"No."

"Why then?"

"It's so weird to do that kind of thing in a game."

"Don't men do that kind of thing anytime, anywhere? Why is it strange in the game?"

"Anytime, anywhere is too outrageous, and don't make it sound like only men do that kind of thing. Men and women are about the same in this respect, aren't they?"

"That's a common saying."

"Did you do it? Before you ordered me around."

"I asked you, and I paid you for our relationship."

"I believe that lovers should at least respect each other, even if it's a financial relationship."

Do you think I'm disrespecting you?
