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

Under Nagasaki Asuna's watchful gaze, Cheng Fei felled a cedar tree, chopped it into firewood, cleared out an area, laid pine needles around it, and lit a campfire in the center.

With a crackling sound, flickering flames emerged from the circle of firewood.

It was dusk, and the cold, fading sun cast dark shadows across the land, as if only the campfire before them could bring warmth.

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, sat down cross-legged beside her, and gestured to Nagasaki Asuna, "Sit down."

The girl grinned mischievously, casually sat down next to him, and took his arm, hugging him tightly.

Cheng Fei straightened his back.

"Cheng Fei."

"what?"

Is it safe here?

"It's quite safe. Is it warm?" Cheng Fei reached out to feel the temperature.

"It's warm," the girl said softly, extending a hand as well.

In a frozen corner of the world, a boy and a girl quietly enjoy the warmth of the campfire.

[Time-limited task completed]

[Reward → 5,000 points, Item: Unlimited Lighters]

You successfully lit a campfire in the snow and ice, and the tranquil atmosphere made her feel that you two were each other's everything at that moment.

Just as Cheng Fei was feeling satisfied, his perspective suddenly shifted to directly above him.

At first, Cheng Fei thought he had been attacked.

He then realized that he had indeed been attacked.

A vampire who treated people like bread pinned him down, and he felt an indescribable sensation on his neck, as if the other was gently but irresistibly biting through his throat and sucking his blood.

……

56. Cheng Fei paid a small price.

"what……"

"Cheng Fei..."

Beside the campfire, the boy and girl were in a very bad situation.

Cheng Fei patted the restless girl's shoulder. "Nana, calm down."

Nagasaki Asuna looked up, tilting her head in confusion. "Wasn't it Cheng Fei who asked me to do this?"

With a sweet voice and gentle smile, this girl, who attracts much attention in front of others, now has her eyes slightly narrowed and her lips slightly parted, revealing her pink little tongue.

Cheng Fei felt that she was more like a succubus than a vampire.

"I asked you to?" Cheng Fei looked surprised.

“Yes,” Nagasaki Asuna said softly, “Cheng Fei suddenly took a liking to me and brought me to a place like this, isn’t it because he wants to… have an affair with me?”

I didn't mean that.

"You have."

"I do not have."

"If Cheng Fei likes it, you can treat me like Shen Xi. What she can't do... I can do." Her eyes, brimming with tears, were more than just a hint.

"There is something I want to ask you to do that she can't do."

"What is it~?" The girl blinked, her voice trembling as if drawn out thin threads.

"The Corridor Research Department is forming a band, and you'll be the bassist and lead singer."

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna was stunned.

"The goal is to hold a performance in the corridor in six months and attract 100,000 players to watch, so I'm asking you for help." Cheng Fei put his hands together in prayer.

"Cheng Fei contacted me today just for this?"

"correct."

The girl stared at his face in silence for a long while, then murmured softly, "Cheng Fei is really cunning..."

"What do you mean?"

"Cheng Fei."

"exist."

Do you know what the consequences will be if you ask me to do this?

What are the consequences?

"The consequence is..." Her fingertips lightly traced the boy's beautiful neck, and she narrowed her eyes, "...that Cheng Fei will become my food."

"Don't talk like you're some kind of vampire."

"Of course, there's a price to pay for asking me to do things. Cheng Fei should have been prepared for that by now, right?" The girl leaned closer. "Ha..."

"Stop doing that, Nana!"

In a secluded corner unnoticed, the snow on the pine trees was vibrated by the sound waves and silently slid down.

Cheng Fei paid a small price for his impulsive request.

……

The following day, during the last physical education class in the afternoon.

In a corner of the basketball court, Cheng Fei, Chen Hao, and Du Xinhua are playing a shooting game.

Chen Hao paused for a few seconds, then deftly threw a swish, clenched his fist and shouted "yes," before moving forward one space from his position in the free-throw area.

Du Xinhua retrieved the ball and shot it with an awkward motion. The ball bounced off the backboard, and he sighed helplessly.

Cheng Fei caught the ball, held it with a standard hand gesture, bent his knees slightly, aimed at the basket, took a deep breath, and shot.

The ball bounced a few times between the backboard and the rim before falling into the basket. Chen Hao shouted "Good shot!" and rushed forward to catch the ball.

Cheng Fei moved forward one space.

While demonstrating his crossover dribbling skills, Chen Hao looked into the distance and asked, "By the way, Cheng Fei, wasn't the girl who confessed to you before named Ye Shuang?"

"Uh, I think you do remember."

"Confessed your feelings? When did that happen?" Du Xinhua asked, surprised and uncertain.

"I'm telling you this the day before the monthly exam. The other girl is a beautiful girl with twin ponytails and white stockings." Chen Hao said, beaming.

"Does such a creature exist in the real world? Stop spreading false information." Du Xinhua glanced sideways.

"If you don't believe me, look inside the tennis court."

"where?"

"The one playing with his back to this side is him."

"I saw neither twin tails nor white stockings."

"Her hair was tied up, and who would wear white stockings to play tennis? That's ridiculous."

"Then how can you prove that what you're saying is true?"

"Judging by her face and legs, she's definitely a beautiful girl."

"Wait, this looks familiar."

"Why do you look so familiar?"

"It seems to be the game club."

"Seems like it? Is it really true?"

"Because she rarely appears, it is said that she also joined the combat club and is a black belt in Taekwondo or something."

"Black belt? How could that be? She looks like a cute girl." Chen Hao stared in disbelief. "Cheng Fei, is what he said true?"

Cheng Fei yawned. "I don't know either."

"You actually didn't agree to date her?" Chen Hao was even more shocked.

"of course not."

What exactly do you like?

"I enjoy learning and exercising."

"Tsk tsk, that's the talk of a strong person." Du Xinhua exclaimed. "By the way, Cheng Fei, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes today?"

The boy recalled, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I got up, took a cold shower, and studied until after 3 a.m.... What's with that look on your faces? Don't you believe me?"

Chen Hao and Du Xinhua simultaneously tensed up, staring intently at what was behind Cheng Fei, as if a ferocious beast had appeared behind him.

"It's past three in the morning and you're still awake? Is something on your mind? You can talk to me about it~" A gentle, smiling voice sounded behind Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei turned around and met the gaze of Nagasaki Asuna, who was wearing sportswear.

The girl tilted her head, blinked, and revealed her signature gentle smile.

"Um, since get out of class is about to end, I'll borrow Cheng Fei for now, is that alright?" the girl said with a smile to the two people over there.

"You're welcome!" Chen Hao replied loudly and readily.

Only after Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna's figures disappeared into the distance did Du Xinhua breathe a sigh of relief, "You're exaggerating too much."

Aren't you even more nervous?

"I rarely talk to girls."

"Am I the same? Damn it! That brat Cheng Fei..."

the other side.

The boy and girl left the sports field side by side and walked towards the convenience store.

"So I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep last night. That's great. I thought I was just being delusional." Nagasaki Asuna patted her chest with a serious expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's no way you can sleep like that." Cheng Fei glared at her irritably, then tugged at his collar as if something had bitten his neck last night and he was still uncomfortable.

"Don't you like it, Cheng Fei?" The girl stuck out her pink tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, gazing at him softly.

"Nana, I'm reminding you that in our country, students prioritize their studies and are expected to be reserved and restrained when it comes to relationships, so please don't do this kind of thing again."

"Speaking of which, does Cheng Fei live alone?"

"correct."

"Please tell me the address."

"Why?" Cheng Fei asked warily.

Nagasaki Asuna stood on tiptoe and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Next time I'm going to go directly to Cheng Fei..."

"Tone it down." Cheng Fei's heart skipped a beat.

"If we could meet, I could definitely get a good night's sleep..." The girl lightly touched her lips with her index finger and murmured softly, "Don't worry, Cheng Fei, I will be very, very careful, and I will absolutely not let anyone find out that I went to see Cheng Fei... to have an affair."

"Nana, why are you so skilled?" Cheng Fei couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Asuna Nagasaki blinked innocently, "Cheng Fei, don't misunderstand. I'm just doing what I want to do. I have absolutely zero experience in dating. I've never even held hands with another person of the opposite sex."

At this point, the girl raised her face, her bright eyes fixed on Cheng Fei, and said softly, "If you don't believe me, Cheng Fei... you can check me thoroughly from the outside in next time."

……

57. The band under the Corridor Research Department was officially established.
