"It's okay to get back together after we break up," the boy nodded with a smile.

"You!" The girl gritted her teeth, glaring at him speechlessly.

"By the way, did Master Ye see the fireworks that day?" Cheng Fei asked, changing the subject out of boredom.

"I saw it." Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then nodded.

Is it pretty?

"It's alright." The girl lowered her head.

"If you like it, I'll put it on for you on your birthday too?" The boy leaned forward slightly, looking into her eyes.

"I don't need it!" The girl raised her head as if pricked by a needle.

"We can change it to something else instead of fireworks. I'll treat you and Nana the same." The boy smiled.

"I'm not your girlfriend, so you don't need to treat me the same way. Just treat Nana well," the girl said softly.

“Master Ye, you and Shen Xi are really alike. Sometimes you’re very frank, and sometimes you’re quite arrogant.” The young man observed her.

"What tsundere? I'm serious!" the girl raised her voice. "And I told you not to compare us to each other, you jerk!"

"You've admitted to liking me several times already?" the boy said, not without a hint of sarcasm.

"Liking someone doesn't mean you have to be together. Who would want to be with a scumbag, a liar, a scoundrel like you?" The innocent girl gritted her teeth, her voice becoming resentful.

"Master Ye, it's been so long, there's no need to keep making it seem like I've deceived your feelings, is there?" The young man looked at her with a smile.

"You are! You're not lying to me, are you?" Ye Shuang glared at him fiercely.

"Didn't you seduce me back then too?" Cheng Fei shrugged.

"I...seduce...you?" The innocent girl stared in disbelief, then snapped back to reality. "You're making false accusations!"

"You're always smiling and then fierce in front of me. You're actually quite cute. Who can stand it?" The boy shook his head and sighed.

"That's your own problem, don't blame it on me!" The girl was even more annoyed.

“Well, I didn’t do anything to you, so by that logic, it’s your own problem if you like me,” the boy said immediately.

Ye Shuang stared at him with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, like a goldfish starving for air.

The girl then turned her face away, her voice muffled, "Stop giving me that nonsense, I won't fall for it."

"Since we have nothing else to do, we can only chat about these things." Cheng Fei switched hands to prop up his chin. "Speaking of which, Master Ye, it's been so long, can't you switch to your cheerful personality when you're with me?"

"I told you I'd never smile at you again." The girl still wouldn't look at him.

"She's been chatting and laughing with Nana lately, but her expression changes as soon as she sees me. Isn't this passive-aggressive behavior a bit too deliberate?"

"That's what you deserve," the girl said fiercely to the wall.

"Whatever, whatever. Anyway, my Master Ye is kind of cute even though he's fierce." Cheng Fei shook his head, giving up on dwelling on it, and tore off a piece of graph paper.

"What are you doing?" Ye Shuang looked at him quickly, as if she was startled for no reason.

"Master Ye, since things have come to this, let's play a game of Gomoku." The boy placed a pen in front of her.

"Gomoku?" The girl was stunned.

With nothing else to do, the two of them actually started playing Connect Four.

Ye Shuang quickly lost interest, threw down her pen, and said, "I'm not playing anymore. I can't beat you at all."

She didn't win a single game in the dozen or so rounds.

"Then I'll let you go first," Cheng Fei said decisively.

“Even if I go first, I can’t beat you.” The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her face away.

"Actually, there are forbidden moves in Gomoku that guarantee a win for the first player."

"I don't know how to download this, and I wouldn't even know it existed."

"Then I'll teach you."

"I am not interested."

"Master Ye, you really are something else. How about we play Go?"

"I can't beat you at Go!" the girl said, her voice a mix of resentment and annoyance.

As the typhoon howled outside the window, the two people in the rented room engaged in conversations that were difficult to understand.

To conserve battery power in case of an accident, the two put their phones aside. In this situation, it seemed as if even the passage of time slowed down, and the whole world consisted only of the heavy rain that enveloped them.

"Master Ye, have you ever seen a typhoon before?" Cheng Fei put the pomelo he had peeled into his mouth.

Ye Shuang rested her chin on her arm on the table and glanced at him. "Of course I've seen him before."

"I forgot you're a local." The boy smacked his lips as he looked out the window. "This is the first time I've seen this wind; it's so strong."

"You'll get used to it," the obedient girl pouted.

The two sat together watching the typhoon. After a while, Cheng Fei was the first to lose interest, stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go, Master Ye. It's about time. Let's go eat."

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Shuang looked up at him, then paused, stunned.

"Of course we'll eat instant noodles." The boy naturally took her small hand.

"You scumbag, don't try to take advantage of me." The girl quickly pulled her hand back and hid it behind her back.

Cheng Fei shrugged nonchalantly and walked outside.

The girl followed silently behind.

Cheng Fei lit a candle on the coffee table for light, and then placed a bag in front of Ye Shuang. "Master Ye, you can choose your own flavor. I'll go get some hot water."

The girl watched him walk into the kitchen, sit down and choose instant noodles. She found that the bag contained various flavors of instant noodles. If the boy wasn't an instant noodle enthusiast, then he must have been prepared in advance.

She flipped through them one by one, and when she caught sight of the shopping receipts lying at the very bottom, she suddenly realized something. She picked up the receipts to check the timestamps, her eyes widening slightly.

"I knew it... he's a scumbag." The girl gritted her teeth.

Soon, Cheng Fei returned with a kettle, along with several steaming cans of food, such as black bean dace and luncheon meat, which emitted an enticing industrial aroma. He placed them on the coffee table.

"Luckily I'm not dead yet. Even if I were, I still have a portable gas stove." The boy put his hands on his hips, not without pride, and then looked at Ye Shuang, "Master Ye, haven't you made your choice yet? Why are your fists clenched so tightly? Are you planning to beat me up?"

The well-behaved girl sat upright, slapped the receipt on the coffee table, frowned slightly, and glared at him. Her clear voice was displeased, "You lied to me again! You went to buy instant noodles while I was sleeping. You deliberately didn't warn me that a typhoon was coming!"

"Master Ye, you seem to have become smarter?" The young man's surprise seemed genuine.

"You scumbag! And you're still grinning like that?" Ye Shuang's little fist hardened.

Cheng Fei immediately raised his hands in surrender and obediently lowered his head, "Okay, I admit I deliberately didn't call you because I wanted to take the opportunity to improve my relationship with you. I was too despicable. I'm sorry, Master Ye."

The obedient girl stared at his expression, her eyes flickered, and she turned her face away. The small fist that had been clenched on her absolute territory gradually relaxed, and she pouted, "Don't think that I'll forgive you just like that. Anyway, a liar like you who's full of lies can easily say sorry."

"Yes, I'm a completely untrustworthy person. How dare I lie to the lovely Master Ye? I'd better just go out and die now to atone for my sins, so as not to dirty Master Ye's hands." The young man sighed sadly and turned to walk towards the door.

Ye Shuang remained seated, glancing at him sideways before looking away.

Cheng Fei walked to the front door, smoothly turned a corner and came back, sat down next to the girl, thought for a moment, then opened a bucket of braised beef noodles with practiced movements, and respectfully pushed it in front of Ye Shuang, "Master Ye, please enjoy."

"Why aren't you going out?" The girl remained unmoved, her face cold.

"Thinking about it carefully, even though Master Ye is angry, she must still like me in her heart. If I die like this, she will definitely be sad and upset. So it's better to continue living in this world and apologize in another way." The boy said seriously.

The obedient girl's lips twitched, and she quickly frowned and glared at him, "You smooth-talking scumbag."

After saying that, he picked out a small bucket of Japanese tonkotsu ramen and placed it in front of the boy, sitting upright without saying a word.

"For me? Thank you, Master Ye. Although this is too little, I need at least four buckets." The boy sighed contentedly.

"I don't want braised beef noodles." Ye Shuang raised her chin, her eyes darting around, and her voice subtly softened. "If you make me this, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

“Okay.” Cheng Fei immediately got to work.

The girl watched his movements and quickly said, "You can't put this soup base packet in first. Look at the instructions."

The boy paused for a moment, noticing the order on the menu, and said, "Sorry, I've never eaten this before."

After Cheng Fei finished preparing the food and pushed it in front of her to exchange for the braised beef noodles, the girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, lowered her head, and whispered, "I forgive you."

"As expected of my Master Ye." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite pleased.

Next, Cheng Fei made himself a bowl of tomato and beef brisket noodles.

When it was almost time, Ye Shuang added the soup base packet to her instant noodles, which were a size smaller than usual, stirred them, held them in her palm, and gently pursed her lips, "Cheng Fei."

"Huh?" The boy over there was already enjoying his braised beef noodles, and casually forked a piece of salty and fragrant dace from the can.

"I need you to promise me something." The girl put down her instant noodles, raised her chin to look at him, her beautiful face with its distinctive features and an expression that was hard to describe.

"What is it?" The boy slurped up a mouthful of chewy noodles.

"You're not allowed to lie to me again." The girl stared at him intently.

"Why all of a sudden?" the boy asked, puzzled.

Ye Shuang lowered her head, her small hands, which were placed over her absolute territory, slowly clenched, and said in a muffled voice, "If you just want me to stay overnight, just tell me directly, and I will listen to you. Anyway, I agreed to go to a hotel with you last time when you asked me to... but I hate it when you lie to me like this."

Cheng Fei watched her fall silent, then become relieved. "That's true. Okay, this time it was my fault."

"If you really like me, don't lie to me. I need your sincere promise, do you understand?" The girl took a deep breath and raised her head, her expression hesitant and serious.

"You're willing to be together if you agree to this?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"You wish!" Ye Shuang stomped her foot and glared at him, then lowered her head and bit her lip. "That's just a prerequisite. It's one thing to be two-timing, but at least you should be honest. Otherwise, who would feel comfortable being with you?"

"Uh, Nana?" the boy thought for a moment.

“I’m not Nana.” The girl raised her voice, paused, “Besides, Nana can read minds, so you can’t fool her.”

“That’s true.” Cheng Fei smacked his lips. “Actually, Shen Xi had said something similar before, so I made a promise with her that I would never lie to her when I called her by her name.”

"Then why do you lie to me all the time? So you think I'm easy to fool?" The obedient girl was unhappy.

"I don't lie to you all the time, I just lie to you occasionally..." the boy muttered.

"Stop making excuses!" she stomped her foot.

Cheng Fei raised his hands in surrender, "I understand, so I'm not allowed to lie to you anymore?"

"That's not what I meant." Ye Shuang looked at him, her expression complicated.

"What does that mean?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"What I mean is, you're not allowed to lie to me like this today. What kind of true affection is it to lie to a girl and ask her to stay overnight? How can I trust you in the future? Even if we're just friends, you shouldn't lie to me like this." The obedient girl stared at him, her words righteous and firm.

Cheng Fei met her gaze for a second, nodded seriously, and smiled. "I understand. I didn't expect Master Ye to be so reasonable. I promise I won't lie to you like that again."

"I'm a reasonable person by nature. If I weren't, I would have already attacked you." The girl's voice was filled with resentment.

"You did take action at the beach, didn't you?" The boy smiled helplessly.

"That's what you deserve!" The girl raised an eyebrow.

758. She is the one and only Master Ip.

The young man looked at her and sighed, then slowly reached out to tidy her hair and patted her head. "As expected of my obedient and adorable Master Ye."

"I am not yours." The girl lowered her head, making no move to resist.

As the living room fell silent, a loud crash, like the sound of shattering glass, came from the bedroom without warning.

The two turned their heads at the same time, their faces showing wariness.

When the two arrived at the bedroom, they saw shattered glass everywhere, a tree branch that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere wedged in the badly damaged window, and icy wind and torrential rain pouring in through the gap. The curtains were fluttering wildly in the air, and debris was scattered all over the place.

"Damn it." Cheng Fei's heart sank. He activated Time Zero and rushed to salvage the scene, moving all the important items to the living room.

Ye Shuang quickly used her Platinum Star to help.

Fortunately, Cheng Fei didn't have much stuff, and the two of them were very fast, so they managed to finish the task despite the raging wind and rain. However, the torrential rain was swept in by the turbulent airflow, soaking them to the bone.

Cheng Fei slammed the bedroom door shut, shutting out the now unbearable chaos, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Master Ye, are you alright?"

"It's alright." Ye Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the rain off her face with her wet sleeve.

At that moment, the girl noticed the boy's gaze fixed on her, and she looked down.
