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

"Alright, since Shuangshuang is really too sleepy." Nagasaki Asuna put down her pen and yawned while covering her mouth.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl with pigtails buried her head in the U-shaped pillow on the table, her smooth pigtails drooping down. She was as quiet as a corpse, making it hard to imagine that this was the well-behaved girl who exuded the temperament of a well-bred young lady.

This is roughly the situation at the Corridor Research Department's study session at noon today.

Aside from a group of drowsy girls, there was one person sitting upright with various study materials laid out in front of him.

"Classmates, how can you sleep at your age?" Cheng Fei asked without looking up, continuing to write furiously.

"Cheng Fei's energy seems inexhaustible, it's so abnormal~" Nagasaki Asuna rested her arms on her back, her lazy tone hiding a hint of inexplicable amusement.

"You're the weirder one, Nana," the boy retorted nonchalantly.

"Hey~ Nana, what's so weird about you?" Nagasaki Asuna drawled, a playful smile curving her lips. At the same time, a small foot encased in a white lace-trimmed sock left her brown school uniform shoe and stretched out across the table.

The others were completely unaware of this.

"Psychopath." Cheng Fei remained motionless.

“Junior, I disagree. I think Miss Nagasaki is very healthy in every way!” Miriam, who had been lying down like Ye Shuang, suddenly raised her head with a serious expression.

“Senior, you’re right.” The boy nodded without hesitation.

"Junior, everyone's so sleepy, how about we play some games to perk ourselves up? I brought my handheld console!" Milian suddenly exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, as she pulled out a game device with red and blue controllers from her bag and held it up like Doraemon.

"Senior, if I remember correctly, the college entrance exam is less than a month away?" Cheng Fei glanced at her, his tone casual.

"That's right! High school is almost over, and I'm so sad just thinking about it..."

"Senior, there's probably more to be sad about than just this," Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.

"Eh~ Cheng Fei really cares about Miriam?" Nagasaki Asuna kept her arm on her shoulder, staring at the boy opposite her with a quiet gaze.

She tried for a few minutes, but the boy remained unmoved, though he did show some reaction.

"I've always been concerned about my senior's studies. I feel like if she keeps going like this, she'll soon be out of school." Cheng Fei nodded, while lowering one hand to grasp the mischievous little ice cream.

Nagasaki Asuna's eyes darted around for a moment, then she bit her lip and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her mouth. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she quickly pulled her foot back and put it in her shoe.

"Junior! Actually, I've already..."

Miriam's words were interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.

"What are you doing?" A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair walked in, her gaze sweeping over everyone before landing on the only man present. She narrowed her eyes.

"Teacher Shen? Of course I'm studying. What's with that look on your face that says we've done something wrong?" Cheng Fei looked at her.

Shen Xi raised her chin, ignoring him, and closed the door, walking into the room on her own.

"Teacher Shen, as the department head, you've finally decided to attend the club study session? It's a pity that everyone isn't in a good mood today, so I guess your brilliant mind won't have a chance to shine."

Shen Xi ignored him and went straight to Ye Shuang, staring expressionlessly at the unconscious girl with pigtails, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Teacher Shen, you can tell me if there's anything you need to say. Master Ye seems quite tired; perhaps you should let her get some sleep?" Cheng Fei said, looking at the aloof young woman.

"How come there are still sewer rats running up to people and squeaking incessantly in this day and age?" Shen Xi glanced at him, her face full of disgust.

So the boy raised his hands in surrender.

When Ye Shuang looked up with a blank expression, Shen Xi casually said, "Come out for a moment."

673. Shen Xi's new research topic is

Looking at the expressionless, aloof girl, Ye Shuang avoided her gaze for a moment. "What's wrong?"

"I have something I want to ask you." Shen Xi looked down at her, his expression unchanged.

"I understand." The girl with pigtails lowered her head, bit her lip lightly, and stood up as instructed.

As the two walked out the door, Cheng Fei followed behind, humming an off-key song with his hands in his pockets.

Shen Xi suddenly turned around, her eyes narrowed as she stared at him, releasing a faint chill.

"You don't welcome eavesdropping? Never mind then." The boy turned and left.

Shen Xi quickly turned back to close the door and walked towards the rooftop railing.

Ye Shuang kept her head down, staring at her feet, following behind step by step, her fingers twisting tighter and tighter, unease lingering in her heart.

Shen Xi stopped and glanced at the door of the club activity room to make sure that someone hadn't slipped out. She then looked at the twin-tailed girl who looked guilty and had something wrong written all over her face.

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I have no interest in your private affairs with that scoundrel," Shen Xi said coldly.

Ye Shuang looked up, stunned, and blinked. "Then what do you want to ask?"

……

"Nana, what do you think Teacher Shen wants to see Master Ye for?" Cheng Fei asked as he returned to his seat and continued with his work.

"Nana doesn't know~" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, poked her fair cheek with her pen, and blinked her clear and bright eyes.

"Miss Nagasaki is so cute!" Miriam exclaimed, her expression exaggeratedly moved to tears.

"You don't even know this? It seems your island nation's mind-reading skills are nothing special." Cheng Fei shook his head.

"Eh? Sorry, it's Nana who's so useless." Nagasaki Asuna said, resting her chin on one hand, her cheek slightly puffed out, and the soft, sticky ice cream under the table attacked again, the fierce force having a sense of revenge.

Cheng Fei looked up at her, and the girl turned her face away, raising her fair chin in response, her expression giving off a soft, coquettish hum.

"Hey senior, how about you go and buy some drinks for everyone to perk them up? I'll transfer the money to you," the boy said casually.

"That makes sense. Everyone, wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Miriam exclaimed excitedly, and jogged away from the club activity room.

"Cheng Fei is so mean, ordering Miriam around when she's about to take the college entrance exam." Nagasaki Asuna lazily leaned on her arm, tilting her head to look at the boy in front of her, her tone deliberately serious, a smile playing on her lips.

The ice cream under the table was causing more and more trouble.

"Anyway, she won't study here. Also, please stop now, classmate." Cheng Fei grabbed that pretty, sweet face and tugged at it gently.

"Hey, what did Nana do wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna glanced to the side, maintaining a bright smile even as the boy pinched her cheek.

Zhou Han leaned on Ruan Jingyi's shoulder and dozed off peacefully. The latter glanced at the two of them silently, then turned her attention back to the practice questions, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

“You’ve done too many wrong things.” Cheng Fei released Nagasaki Asuna’s face and took out his phone to send a message to the tea ceremony teacher.

"Behave yourself, I'll deal with you tonight."

"Okay~"

Nagasaki Asuna quickly picked up her phone and replied instantly, then sent a heart emoji. She obediently pulled her feet back and put her legs together, then leaned on the table, gazing at the boy opposite her with her bright, clear eyes, her pink lips slightly pursed, and a smile playing on her lips.

"Please get down to business and stop grinning like an idiot, classmate." Cheng Fei glanced at her and shook his head with a look of pity for her misfortune.

"Cheng Fei is so mean, what's wrong with him?" Nagasaki Asuna complained, temporarily switching to a proper sitting posture.

Soon, Miriam returned with a bag of drinks and enthusiastically distributed them to everyone. Then Shen Xi and Ye Shuang also returned to their room.

After taking a few sips of the coffee Milian gave her, Ye Shuang simply ran to Lin Xuanqi's sofa, slumped down, closed her eyes, and lost consciousness.

Shen Xi sat down next to Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna, and opened her book to read without saying a word.

"Teacher Shen, if I may ask, what did you talk to Master Ye about?" Cheng Fei coughed lightly. "You didn't bully her, did you? Maybe something like school bullying, and you even knocked her unconscious."

"You care about her a lot?" Shen Xi sneered.

"Not at all, I was just curious. My biggest concern is always you, Teacher Shen," the boy said calmly.

"Cheng Fei is really straightforward~" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands and made a teasing sound.

"Cheng Fei, I have a question for you, though I probably won't get an answer." Shen Xi lowered her eyes.

"I love you." The boy said without hesitation.

"Nobody asked you that." The aloof girl frowned slightly and kicked him under the table. "Can your Time Zero work properly in the corridor?"

Cheng Fei was taken aback, glancing at the girl with pigtails on the sofa. "So you went to ask Master Ye about this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, answer yes or no." Shen Xi raised her chin and stared at him.

"Okay, yes." The boy smacked his lips. "He really is my Mr. Shen, always wanting to get to the bottom of everything."

Shen Xi looked away, her face showing a thoughtful expression.

"Junior! What is Shi Ling?" Miriam, who was drinking cola and eavesdropping, looked over.

"It's a sophisticated fighting technique, senior," Cheng Fei said seriously.

"I see, the martial arts of the Celestial Empire are truly profound!" Miriam finished her understanding on her own.

“I have a new project. Come with me after school to work on it, or you don’t have to.” Shen Xi kicked the boy again.

"At least explain the topic first? If I really refuse, you'll just get angry by yourself. You're really being arrogant." Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I've already discussed it with Ye Shuang. I only asked you to do this because I wanted to get as many experimental samples as possible." Shen Xi tossed her hair, not even looking at him.

"In that case, it seems I'm not important, so I won't go." The young man nodded casually and continued with what he was doing.

The aloof girl paused, turned her head, and stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. Her stubborn lips were tightly closed, and as time passed, they exuded a chilling aura.

Nagasaki Asuna, who was watching from the sidelines, covered her mouth and let out a chuckle. After being glared at, she quickly sat up straight and focused on her inner self.

"I'm scared of you, okay? I'll go, alright? You're such a proud and adorable little devil." Cheng Fei clicked his tongue in admiration.

"If you don't want to go, you never have to go!" Shen Xi gritted her teeth and glared at him, her little face annoyed.

"It was just a joke, Teacher Shen, don't be so petty."

"Utterly boring trash!" The girl kicked him hard.

"But we still need to prepare to save Xiao An. Are we sure we'll do this today?" Cheng Fei said again.

"It's just a short break; it can be paused at any time if there's an emergency," Shen Xi said coldly.

"I understand." The boy nodded.

……

So in the afternoon, when the bell rang for the end of the last class, Cheng Fei went straight to the parking lot.

The first to appear was a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair. She opened the passenger door of the Panamera and got in.

"Teacher Shen, you really don't hold back." Cheng Fei glanced at her.

"If you don't want me to sit in this position, you can just say so." Shen Xi looked straight ahead and sneered.

674. Ye Shuang arrived at Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna's house.

"Not at all, of course you can sit here." The boy looked at her with a doting expression.

"Hopefully, he's not just saying nice things while secretly thinking something else." The girl snorted and turned her face away to look out the window.

"So you really want me to always keep you in the first place in my heart?"

"Shut up."

Following closely behind, Nagasaki Asuna and Ye Shuang walked in hand in hand, and the two eye-catching beauties climbed into the back seat one after the other.

"It seems like this is the first time this car has been fully occupied." Cheng Fei remarked as he turned the steering wheel, guiding the sports car away from Yinghua.

Shen Xi let out a sneer that was hard to decipher.

"Shuangshuang, Cheng Fei's car is now full, including you. Any thoughts?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes darted around, and she looked at Ye Shuang with a mischievous smile.

The obedient girl, who was already inexplicably nervous after getting on the bus, blinked and looked even more flustered. She gritted her teeth and glared at Nagasaki Asuna, her voice clear and crisp, "Nana, if you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"

"Okay, I was wrong. Our Shuangshuang is a shy girl, you can't tease her." Nagasaki Asuna put her hands together and smiled perfunctorily.

As per Shen Xi's request, Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang were to go to her upscale apartment today to participate in a research project.

The content was probably related to the two people's abilities, but she didn't explain it clearly, and Cheng Fei could only guess.

"By the way, is Shuangshuang staying for dinner?" Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her index finger, a smile curving her lips as if she had thought of something amusing.

"No need, I'll eat at home!" Ye Shuang said without hesitation, her expression hardening, as if facing a trap.

“If you three are busy, I’ll take care of dinner. Cheng Fei, stop by the supermarket entrance later, I’m going to buy groceries.” Nagasaki Asuna seemed not to hear her.
