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

751. Shen Xi felt bored.

Silent all night.

The next day.

With Miriam joining, Cheng Fei doesn't need to organize the group to have a lot of fun.

At noon, the Corridor Research Department held a cooking experience activity. In addition to Miriam making her hometown traditional dishes, Ye Shuang and Zhou Han also contributed some indescribable dishes under the guidance of Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna.

Shen Xi did not participate, but watched from the sidelines with a blank expression.

Midway through, Miriam shivered, sneezed loudly, rubbed her arms, and looked bewildered. "Strange, I turned the air conditioning up, so why is it still so cold..."

In the afternoon, since the central air conditioning in the villa seemed to be malfunctioning and it was still chilly no matter how they adjusted it, the group went to the beach to play in the water again. Cheng Fei and Shen Xi, just like on the first day, took shelter under the shade of a tree.

It's worth mentioning that after playing for a while, Miriam suddenly had a nosebleed and had to go back inside to rest.

As the sun set, Cheng Fei's custom-made birthday cake was delivered to his door. It was a large, round tiramisu, decorated with fruits such as raspberries and blueberries.

Zhou Han took the lead in decorating the dining table and drew the curtains to block out the light.

After finishing, the petite girl turned her head and waved, "Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, go and call her over!"

The boy watching nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and headed to the beach, where he came to the shade of a tree.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sat on a deck chair, eating half a watermelon. Her gaze was fixed on the distant sea, the sunset reflecting on her temples and forehead. The girl's expression was blank, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Teacher Shen, your birthday cake is ready." Cheng Fei leaned down to examine that beautiful, yet always cold, face.

"I told you I'm not interested in that kind of thing," Shen Xi said coldly, not even looking at him, and continued eating her watermelon.

"Sweetie, no matter what, everyone really wants to celebrate your birthday. Maybe it's a good idea to try accepting it?" The boy squatted down to look at her.

The girl let out a cold laugh that was hard to decipher.

"They'll go back after they finish the cake, but I can keep you company alone, how about that?" the boy said calmly.

The girl narrowed her eyes, glanced at him, and stubbornly kept her lips tightly closed.

The sound of the tide still lingers on the shore, and the comfortable evening breeze stirs the girl's hair.

Shen Xi sighed and raised the back of her hand to the boy.

The boy understood immediately, took her small hand and pulled her up, smiling, "Let's go, Your Highness."

"Cheng Fei, today is boring too." The girl stared ahead, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I know." The boy smiled wryly, his helplessness seeming genuine.

The girl's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak.

The two arrived at the back door of the villa. Cheng Fei pushed the door open, and facing the dimly lit interior, Shen Xi first looked at the young man. After the young man gestured for her to go inside, she walked in with a cold expression.

Suddenly, one orange-yellow candle after another lit up.

Then the girls began to sing in unison.

"Happy birthday to you……"

"Happy birthday to you……"

Zhou Han carried the birthday cake, while the others walked towards Shen Xi with smiles on their faces and singing.

The aloof girl stared blankly as the birthday cake was brought to her.

After Nagasaki Asuna finished singing, she clapped softly, tilted her head with her hands behind her back, and gave her a gentle, healing, and well-behaved smile, "Your Majesty, happy birthday~"

Shen Xi glanced at the other person, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"Shen Xi, Shen Xi, quickly make a wish and blow out the candles!" Zhou Han watched her with a smile, and if she weren't holding a cake, she probably would have smacked her on the head.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing." The aloof girl bent down as if to blow out the candle.

"Hey, hey, absolutely not!" Zhou Han's round eyes widened, her face serious. "How can you not make a wish on your birthday? You absolutely have to!"

“Then I wish for world peace.” Shen Xi remained unmoved.

“You can’t just say it out loud, and you can’t just brush it off like that!” Zhou Han frowned slightly, looking very serious.

The cool, aloof girl's face seemed to show displeasure.

"Shen Xi, why don't you make a promise?" Ye Shuang said softly with a smile as she looked at her from the side.

The aloof girl paused for a second, glanced at a boy standing behind her watching, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then opened them again, and said coldly, "It's all done."

"You really promised?" Zhou Han stared at her with a hint of doubt.

"Granted." The aloof girl became impatient.

"Then hurry up and blow it, hurry up and blow it!" Zhou Han smiled again.

The aloof young woman bent down, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried her best to blow out the candle.

Nagasaki Asuna and Ye Shuang helped her from both sides, blowing out all the candles together.

The girls clapped, and Cheng Fei casually turned on the lights.

Zhou Han quickly placed the cake on the table, then ran over to the aloof girl and handed her a small bag. "Shen Xi, Shen Xi, this is a gift from Ruan Jingyi and me. Open it and take a look!"

The aloof girl did as instructed, opened the bag, and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

“Pistachio, because you often seem unhappy, we felt that you didn’t need expensive gifts, so we gave you this in the hope that you can be happier every day.” Zhou Han tiptoed and patted the cool girl’s head, with the expression of a “young mother caring for her child.”

"Thank you." The aloof girl replied expressionlessly.

"Shen Xi, this is for you." Nagasaki Asuna handed over a small gift box with both hands.

The aloof girl exchanged a glance with her and then accepted the item.

"At least open it and take a look?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head with her hands behind her back.

The aloof girl then opened the box with a cold expression and took out an exquisite silver hair clip.

"Well, although you're very skilled, if you dress up a little more cleverly, Cheng Fei will have even less chance of escaping?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and winked. "This is a sincere suggestion for today only."

The aloof girl lowered her eyes. "Heh, vixen."

Milian leaned in, cleared her throat deliberately, and pulled out a small gift box from behind her. "Shen Xi, although you're awful, I've still decided to give you a gift. Heh heh, how about it? Aren't you moved by my noble character of not holding a grudge?"

The aloof girl took the item with a look of disgust, opened it, and a smooth pebble clattered to the ground. She picked it up to examine it, then hesitated, "This is... a stone?"

“That’s right.” Miriam crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin, and nodded.

Zhou Han blinked her round eyes, looking speechless. "Uh, Milian, you don't have to send it if you really don't want to."

The others present also showed similar expressions.

"What do you mean by this?" Miriam grabbed her hair, looking utterly incredulous, and raised her voice. "These are Thames pebbles! I had Sebastian send them over urgently!"

"That seems to be quite a memorable souvenir?" Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment.

The aloof girl pursed her lips. "Whatever, thank you anyway."

"Hmph, after all, it's such a precious gift, can't we say it a few more times?" Miriam excitedly put her hand to her ear, not without pride, and naturally ignored him.

"Shen Xi, I won't give you anything, since you're not interested anyway." Ye Shuang's hands were empty, and she smiled frankly.

The aloof girl nodded to her.

"Alright, the gift-giving is over. Let's cut the cake, I'm starving!" Cheng Fei came up from behind, clapping his hands, looking like he had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

The tiramisu wasn't very big; after being cut into eight pieces, each person got one piece, and Cheng Fei took the extra piece.

Zhou Han, holding her own portion, said energetically, "By the way, how about inviting you all to my house for my birthday?"

"Eh, is this convenient?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, biting her spoon.

"It's convenient, it's convenient. My mother is usually the only one at home, so she won't mind if it's my birthday." The petite girl waved her hand.

“Everyone, how about we go to Britain for my birthday? We can go hunting at my family’s private hunting grounds!” Miriam seemed to have been inspired and became excited.

"Senior, that's a bit of an exaggeration." Cheng Fei took a big bite of tiramisu.

"Wouldn't it be better to stay in Academy City? After all, time is limited." Ye Shuang thought about it seriously.

“Okay, then this villa will do too…” Miriam’s face fell instantly.

Shen Xi sat upright in her chair, glanced at the group of people chatting, and silently put the cake into her mouth. The coldness that had been on her face all day dissipated slightly.

By the time they finished the cake, it was completely dark.

"Let's go, let's go home and get some sleep. We have class tomorrow." Zhou Han took Ruan Jingyi's arm and yawned widely.

"Hmm~ I'm tired too." Nagasaki Asuna stretched, her full and firm figure inspiring awe.

After playing wildly at the beach all afternoon, the group looked tired.

Sebastian parked his minivan at the villa's entrance, allowing him to take everyone away at once.

Cheng Fei and Shen Xi stood there, watching them get into the car.

"Um, wishing you both a good time?" Nagasaki Asuna turned around and waved with an ambiguous expression.

"Shen Xi, keep it up!" Zhou Han clenched her little fist.

The aloof young woman frowned slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Junior, I wish you success!" Miriam winked at the boy on the other side, sending him a telepathic message.

"Take care, everyone." Cheng Fei gestured for them to leave quickly.

The car doors closed, and the van drove away along the road.

Cheng Fei put one hand in his pocket and quietly placed the other on the aloof girl's shoulder, letting out an exaggerated sigh of relief. "Teacher Shen, it's just us left again. Are you happy?"

"I don't see anything to be happy about. We should hurry back and prepare for tomorrow's class." Shen Xi sneered, remaining motionless as the boy hugged her.

"Forget about being stubborn, you stay up all night every day, and now you know you have class tomorrow, it's too deliberate." The boy pouted and put his arm around her as they walked back.

"I'm sorry, but I just feel that there's no point in staying here anyway. If you just want to keep holding me while you sleep, then you can go home." Shen Xi said coldly.

"Who says it's meaningless? The fact that we're alone together is meaningful."

"This illogical statement is typical of a brainless aquatic mammal."

"That's irrelevant. By the way, Ms. Shen, what did you wish for?" Cheng Fei put his arm around her as they entered the room.

"I have no birthday wish to share," the girl said coldly.

"You seemed really reluctant just now, but you're actually quite compliant with the rules." The young man glanced at her. "But it's really nothing, it's just a formality. Why don't you just tell me? Maybe I can help you make it happen?"

Shen Xi paused for a second, then raised her chin. "My wish is that if Cheng Feiyu dares to break his promise to me, he will be chopped into minced meat and made into fish balls to be cooked."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy shivered. "Little cutie, you can be really perverted and have really heavy tastes sometimes."

The girl gave a gloating sneer.

Cheng Fei put his arm around her and walked towards the back door leading to the beach.

Shen Xi frowned slightly. "What do we need to do now?"

"Let's go fishing." The boy smacked his lips, looking very serious. "I came back empty-handed yesterday. I can't accept that. I must catch something tonight."

"It's so boring." The girl stared ahead, her brows furrowed.

"Anyway, we have nothing else to do, so as long as the two of us are together, isn't that enough?" Cheng Fei looked at her.

Shen Xi looked up and met the boy's gaze, took a deep breath, and turned her face away, her little face not very happy. "Whatever."

The boy smiled and put his arm around her as they walked toward the small dock where the yachts were moored. "Let's go, let's see if you can catch any more flying fish today."

"What flying fish? I caught grouper." The girl said seriously. "And, sorry to say, it turns out my fishing skills are pretty good."

“You…” Cheng Fei hesitated, then shook his head. “Never mind, I think you’re lucky.”

"Luck is also a part of strength." The girl tossed her hair and scoffed.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." The boy nodded perfunctorily.

The two boarded the yacht, and Cheng Fei took the helm, heading in a certain direction.

"Why not go to the location from yesterday?" Shen Xi glanced at the coordinates on the screen.

"That's a bit far," the boy muttered.

"What do you mean?" the girl asked, puzzled.
