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

The two looked at each other and fell silent simultaneously.

Asuna Nagasaki sat in the middle, resting her chin on her hand, looking left and right.

"This doesn't prove anything." Shen Xi thought for a moment, her brows furrowing.

"It can't be proven, but it's also possible that after the medication was reduced that day, you said something important." Cheng Fei shrugged.

Shen Xi opened her mouth.

"Huh, why does this happen when I reduce my medication?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, looking curious.

Cheng Fei looked at the cardboard box full of CDs and rubbed his chin. "Judging from the video and medical records, Teacher Shen's abnormal symptoms gradually subsided with treatment. Suddenly reducing her medication might cause a rebound, allowing her to receive more Star Spirit information."

"Ha, just wishful thinking and subjective assumptions." Shen Xi turned her face away, not very happy.

"There is definitely an element of guesswork involved, but based on current findings, it's not impossible," Cheng Fei said, shrugging.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin lightly with her fingertip. "But what did Shen Xi have to say that led to what happened later?"

"I don't know, I'll try calling Nurse Zhang again later." The boy shook his head.

Shen Xi paused for a second, then raised her chin, turned around, and left. "That's enough, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, goodnight, Teacher Shen." Cheng Fei nodded respectfully.

"Goodnight, Teacher Shen~" Nagasaki Asuna sat in her seat and waved her little hand obediently.

Shen Xi turned around with a cold expression and stared at the latter, "You vixen, you come and sleep too."

"Eh, you want to sleep with me?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened slightly, looking at her and then at Cheng Fei with a confused expression, as if asking for his opinion.

"I'm telling you to go back to your own room to sleep. Don't think I can't see what you're up to." Shen Xi took a deep breath, her face full of disgust.

"Nana, let's go. I can sleep on the sofa by myself." Cheng Fei sighed sadly, lay down on the sofa, and covered himself with a blanket.

"Okay, goodnight Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna nodded obediently and followed Shen Xi's steps.

……

Due to the typhoon, Yinghua School was closed on Tuesday, so Cheng Fei felt justified in staying at Shen Xi's house the next day.

At noon, the boy casually turned on the TV during his break.

"Currently, parts of the Academy Science Park are flooded, with the deepest point reaching one meter..."

I heard this news report.

762. Correction of the biological classification of *Cyprinus chengfeiyu*

The boy realized something, his expression hardened, and he picked up the remote control with lightning speed to change the channel.

A cold, aloof girl exuding a chill walked over from the side, looking down at him with a slight bite of her lip.

"Teacher Shen, what's with that expression? Do I owe you money?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, and, feeling indignant, raised her small foot and struck him. "Trash."

"Teacher Shen, why?" the boy asked in astonishment.

"Cheng Feiyu, stop pretending. You know perfectly well what oaths you've made." The girl glared at him.

"I meant the Academy of Science was destroyed by the typhoon, it's just flooded now, right?" the boy said, looking wronged.

"Being flooded speaks volumes," the girl sneered.

"Teacher Shen, how can you believe in something that has no scientific basis whatsoever?"

"Excuse me, but this incident just reminded me of Cheng Feiyu's empty boasting and sweet talk." The girl kicked him again without any politeness.

"Teacher Shen, I think you're just looking for an excuse to abuse me?"

"Shut up, Cheng Feiyu, who's always fooling around, deserves to be taught a lesson." The girl kicked him viciously again.

Nagasaki Asuna, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, yawned as she passed by and tilted her head to observe the scene. "Eh, you two are playing like this now?"

……

Yinghua School resumed classes on Wednesday.

When the students stepped into the campus they hadn't seen for several days, the first thing they saw was a section of a thick branch of the cherry blossom tree at the school gate that had been broken off. The broken branch was still attached to the main trunk, and it had been sawed off by workers. The wood fibers that had been torn apart by the typhoon looked like a bloody wound.

"What a pity..."

"At least the tree is alright..."

Amidst the murmurs, the boy, hands in his pockets, hurried past, as if afraid to linger.

As the bell rang for the last class of the afternoon, Cheng Fei walked through the long corridor where many wisteria leaves had been blown away and climbed to the rooftop of the club activity building.

Before pushing open the only door, the boy looked up at the porch and felt something was wrong. He went around to the side of the house to observe and found that the ivy that used to cover the entire wall now looked quite miserable.

Through the window, one can see a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sitting inside, head bowed, reading a book—a scene that seems to have existed since time immemorial.

When he noticed the other person, the other person also noticed him, glanced at him with a cold look, and then turned away.

Cheng Fei returned to the front and pushed open the door, sitting down next to Shen Xi as if nothing had happened. "Teacher Shen, I didn't expect our club activity room to be spared. I thought it would flood too. Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress set up a protective barrier?"

"Everything else is fine, except for the ivy that some scoundrels used to swear oaths, which got blown away." Shen Xi sneered, not without sarcasm.

The boy's expression was complicated. He pursed his lips and nodded, "Indeed, it really is a bad coincidence."

He had only been sitting down for a few minutes when the door was pushed open again.

"Junior, long time no see!" A familiar voice, inexplicably excited, rang out.

"Senior, what are you doing at school during your vacation?" Cheng Fei asked Milian, puzzled.

"I was so bored at home all by myself, so I decided to come and play with everyone! By the way, where's Miss Nagasaki?" Miriam looked around, like a mouse that had entered a granary but couldn't find any food.

"She hasn't arrived yet. I suggest you don't play during the holiday. You should seize the time to study hard so you'll have a chance next year..." The boy thought for a moment and then spoke seriously.

Miriam completely ignored his interruption, "Junior! I have something to tell you, my villa is flooded right now, waaaaah..."

"Huh? You mean it?" The boy was stunned.

"Really, the basement is flooded! Isn't that terrible?" Miriam asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

Shen Xi, who was looking down at her book, seemed to have read something very funny. She narrowed her eyes, covered her mouth, and laughed, which was as clear as a silver bell.

Cheng Fei seemed to sense something and quickly turned to look at her, looking surprised and uncertain. "Teacher Shen, did you just laugh?"

Shen Xi instantly regained her expression and squinted at him, "Can't I laugh?"

"Of course, but you seemed to be laughing quite happily just now?" the boy asked, a little anxious.

"It's really funny that all the oaths one person made could come true." The girl raised her chin, her face indifferent.

"What I mean is, your laughter just now was a happy laugh, not your usual cold laugh. This is the first time I've heard it like that in all this time." The boy stared at her.

"There's no difference, it's just your imagination." The girl tossed her hair and turned her face away, seemingly uninterested in the topic.

“There’s no difference at all. The difference is like the Mariana Trench and Mount Everest. Teacher Shen, please smile for me one more time. I beg you. This is my only request in this life.” The boy clasped his hands together.

"What nonsense is Cheng Feiyu spouting again? She likes to laugh and look at vixens. She can let you look to your heart's content." The girl frowned slightly, her face growing even colder.

"Teacher Shen, don't be so cold!"

"Shut up! What exactly does Cheng Feiyu want?"

"I just wanted to see you smile once!"

"It's inexplicable, I don't understand what they're struggling with."

"Because your laughter was really nice just now, I can only imagine how good-looking you must be, so let me see you once!"

"Don't come any closer, it's disgusting, you'll never be able to laugh like that!"

"Teacher Shen!"

Under Miriam's unwitting observation, the two continued their ambiguous interactions as always.

……

Two weeks before the end of the semester, the atmosphere at Sakura Academy became heavy. As the final exam of the academic year, the class ranking not only affected career honors and summer vacation freedom, but also involved substantial scholarships, so the competition became extremely fierce.

Thanks to this, Cheng Fei, who no longer needed a scholarship, had to be extra careful in case his top spot in the grade was stolen.

Just like last semester, he and his small group held a study session at the cafe behind the school gate during the last few hours, which made the owner stand behind the bar with a gratified smile, especially since the boy generously provided tea and snacks for everyone.

Miriam also participated. When Nagasaki Asuna was explaining a problem to Zhou Han, the blonde, blue-eyed beauty listened attentively beside her (probably).

Last semester, she said she had a poor foundation in math, but Cheng Fei didn't believe her. Now the boy understands that she was telling the truth.

As for Ye Shuang, another person who received special attention, she also participated, with Cheng Fei, Shen Xi, and Nagasaki Asuna taking turns to give her extra lessons.

Incidentally, the obedient girl maintained her previous attitude towards Cheng Fei. She chatted and laughed with others, but became cold and indifferent as soon as she saw the boy, as if what happened on that stormy night had never happened.

In this atmosphere, two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

During the last exam, while most people were still answering questions, Cheng Fei closed his pen, walked out of the classroom, strolled around the exam hall on the same floor, and then went downstairs and left.

The boy opened WeChat.

"Dear Xuanqi, why weren't you in the exam room? Did you skip the exam because you didn't study hard and couldn't bear the humiliation?"

"Dump my ass! I've already handed in my paper and gone back to the company."

"You submitted it earlier than me, the top student in the grade. You're the most arrogant one."

"Is there something you need?"

"No, I just wanted to ask what your plans are for summer vacation. Maybe we can go on a date if you're free."

"Screw you, I won't take a day off even if you do."

"So it won't work?"

"We'll talk about it when I have time."

"Okay, then I wish you all the best at work, my dear wife. I'm going to enjoy my vacation now."

"Roll, roll, roll!"

The boy put away his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and hummed an unknown tune as he walked towards the school gate.

They encountered two people walking side by side along the way.

The cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair and the sweet girl with long, coffee-colored hair—one exuding an aura that keeps others at bay, the other with a gentle, healing temperament—are always the most beautiful sights in Yinghua.

"I was wrong. I didn't expect you to hand in your papers before me. I even checked them twice. Am I the only one in this school who takes exams seriously?" The boy caught up with the two.

"Cheng Feiyu, who's only interested in fame and fortune, should check his work a few more times, lest he lose face by failing to hold onto first place in the grade," Shen Xi scoffed.

"Did Cheng Fei do well on his exam?" Nagasaki Asuna asked with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and giving a friendly smile.

"Thank goodness, I should be able to keep being number one in the grade." The boy breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner.

"So why did Cheng Feiyu swim over here? Why didn't he go with that guy surnamed Lin and try to be discovered on purpose?" Shen Xi glanced at him expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, I know you're looking forward to it, but she's already gone back to the company."

"Here comes more nonsense." The girl said coldly.

"So what does Cheng Fei plan to do during the holidays?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

"I'll spend a week at home learning as much as I want," the boy said seriously.

"Eh? As expected of Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna exclaimed.

"Heh, truly the most studious rodent in Academy City's sewers." Shen Xi sneered with an ambiguous tone.

"Not an aquatic mammal?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

The girl tossed her hair, not even looking at him, and spoke in a completely flat tone, "Excuse me, rodents belong to mammals. Also, according to my latest research, classifying the Cheng Feiyu as cetacean was completely wrong before. Now I'm correcting it; it should be the Cheng Feiyu species of the genus *Mice* in the family Muridae of the order Rodentia. This rat originally lived in the sewers along the western coast of the Pacific Ocean. Due to its ugly appearance, it was driven into the sea by other rats and gradually evolved into the aquatic mammal we know today. This also explains why the Cheng Feiyu has no human-like characteristics like cetaceans, because it is essentially a kind of low-intelligence water rat that acts on instinct."

The girl finished speaking in one breath, her flat chest rising and falling slightly as she took a deep breath and closed her mouth.

After a brief silence, Nagasaki Asuna clapped her hands slightly.

Cheng Fei paused for a second, then asked, "Professor Shen, was this what you studied during the biology exam?"
