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

"You really didn't mean to express your feelings?" the boy asked again, peering forward.

"Stop dreaming." The girl frowned slightly and turned her face away.

"He was playing with a lot of emotion, and he even secretly glanced at me halfway through. Was he just being stubborn?" The boy went around to the other side and peeked out.

“I said no, and that’s it. If there is, it’s just an effect caused by my superb playing skills. What does Cheng Feiyu want?” The girl bit her lip and kicked him.

"So, I thought we were on the same page when you looked at me halfway through?" The boy scratched his head, giving up on the matter with a sense of disappointment.

The girl glanced at him and then looked away, her tone unchanged, "Heh, true understanding comes from actions, it won't suddenly change just because we played a piece together. Cheng Feiyu really hopes to figure that out first."

"I've learned a lot. Now, I'd appreciate any guidance from Teacher Shen on what practical actions I should take." The boy bowed respectfully.

The girl crossed her arms over her chest, her chin held high with an indifferent expression. "Go back and log on with me. We'll continue researching the dual-body world tonight."

"No, I have to go to the hot springs with Nana tonight. I promised her, so I'm sorry." The boy said without hesitation.

The air on the road was deathly still.

"Oh." The girl's pure, dark eyes became empty and emotionless. She responded abruptly and quickened her pace. Her slender legs under her skirt moved swiftly, creating distance between herself and the boy.

"Teacher Shen, are you angry?" The boy followed her, observing her profile with concern.

"Don't follow me, go keep your Nana company, you trash." The girl's voice was soft, her tone nonchalant yet authoritative, and she didn't even look at him.

The boy pursed his lips and had no choice but to slow down, watching the slender figure mercilessly leave him behind.

The group of people who had been keeping a distance behind the two followed.

"Hey, why is Shen Xi walking so fast all of a sudden?" Zhou Han blinked her round eyes.

“She said she was hungry and wanted to go back to get some snacks,” Cheng Fei shrugged, looking quite serious.

"Is that so?" Zhou Han's eyes were blank. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Don't bully Shen Xi, okay? Girls are very sensitive."

"Don't worry, Shen Xi's heart is stronger than anyone else's," Nagasaki Asuna said with a tilted head and a smile, not without a hint of sarcasm.

The group returned to the hotel.

“Miss Nagasaki! You’ve rested enough, let’s go to the hot springs together?” Miriam’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Zhou Han chimed in, "Great idea! Let's go together. I want to soak too. I slept so well after soaking last night."

"Um, Shuangshuang and I want to go out for a walk by ourselves, so we won't be with you guys?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head casually.

Ye Shuang, standing next to him, became unfocused, lowered her head in silence, and looked as guilty as a girlfriend about to have intimate contact with her lover.

Sensing this perfectly, Miriam tried her best to maintain a smile, "Well, alright then, Miss Nagasaki and Miss Yeshuang must have a wonderful time, haha..."

So the corridor research group dispersed, with Miriam, Zhou Han, and Ruan Jingyi taking the lead in soaking in the hot spring pool from yesterday.

Cheng Fei went back to his room to tidy up, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go next door. Instead, he changed into a bathrobe and went straight to the hot spring pool on the other side of the backyard. While lying in the water and looking at the stars, he pondered various questions.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps, almost imperceptible like a cat's, appeared behind the boy.

"Cheng Fei, should we go and coax her first?" Nagasaki Asuna's gentle voice rang out.

The boy turned around and saw a sweet girl in a cherry blossom pink yukata looking at him with her hands behind her back and her head tilted, looking completely harmless.

"What are you standing there for? Get down here right now," the boy said irritably.

"Yes~" The girl smiled sweetly and walked away from him to the basket where the clothes were. She untied the sash and waist button of her yukata, letting the colorful clothes slip off her small shoulders.

The scene I had imagined did not appear. The girl was wrapped in a bath towel, revealing only her shapely legs with their milky white and delicate skin.

She wrapped her hair up in a hair-drying cap, her ample bosom barely contained by the towel, and turned to look at the boy. She blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Hey, Cheng Fei, you seem a little disappointed. Or are you looking forward to it?"

"You vixen, you have too many tricks up your sleeve." The boy chose not to look at her and continued soaking in the hot spring.

"It's not a trick, I'm just a little shy." Nagasaki Asuna came up behind him and whispered, stretching out her toes to test the temperature of the water next to him. Her petite figure, as soft and delicate as a certain Celestial Queen, attracted attention.

Just as the girl was about to pull it back, the boy grabbed it.

The girl froze for a moment, then looked down at the boy's gaze, which seemed to regard her as if she were his possession. Her eyes involuntarily darted away, and her voice trembled slightly, "Ugh... Cheng Fei."

"Are you shy?" The boy looked her up and down.

"Cats are naturally shy when approached, as Cheng Fei knows." The girl tried her best to keep standing on one leg by the pool, worried that she might fall in at any moment.

"Idiot." The boy released her.

The girl clutched her chest and breathed a small sigh of relief before stepping into the pool and sitting down next to the boy.

Nagasaki Asuna first secretly observed the boy, then covered her mouth and yawned slightly, making a strangely alluring sound. She tilted her head and nestled on the boy's shoulder.

"So comfortable, I feel like I'm going to become the happiest cat in the world, woof..." The girl sighed with her eyes slightly closed, then suddenly seemed to be attacked, letting out a soft moan that caught her off guard, her long, slender lines underwater trembling as she tried to close them up.

"Nana, you're hopeless every day." Cheng Fei shook his head, unabashedly appreciating her charm.

"Nana is hopeless when it comes to loving Cheng Fei." The girl nodded with certainty, glanced at the situation underwater, and her ears involuntarily flushed red.

The boy pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her head and turn it left and right, observing her sweet face that exuded a gentle and healing aura from any angle.

"Cheng Fei, what's wrong?" The girl let him do as he pleased, her gaze fixed on the boy's face as she was forced to turn her head, like a lifelike doll.

"On the surface, it all seems normal, so why is it like this inside?" The boy pondered with an air of seriousness.

"Inside?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked, her expression innocent and bewildered. "Is Nana's inside uncomfortable? Where exactly is it uncomfortable, her mouth or..."

"That's enough, your head is full of nuclear waste." The boy pinched her soft cheek, then pulled her to his side, enjoying the tranquil hot spring and the gentle girl.

"Cheng Fei, you don't understand, do you? I've told you before that Nana has a kitten-like constitution; all cats are like that." Nagasaki Asuna's cheerful voice was soothing. She thought for a moment, then suddenly cheered, "That's what you call pretending for a semester, then being pampered for life. Shen Xi, on the other hand, is arrogant and stubborn for a semester, then gets cheated on and suffers for life, hehehe~"

"Pretending to be something, huh? Aren't you worried about being thrown away now?" The boy glanced at her sideways, his expression unreadable.

“Even if you lose it, it will run back on its own and follow you around pitifully. You’ll definitely be taken in if you feel sorry for it, right?” The girl blinked her clear, bright eyes and leaned closer to the boy, looking at him with an unguarded expression.

"I'm not one to be soft-hearted," the boy said, pursing his lips.

"Eh, you're not soft-hearted towards Nana either?" The girl frowned, her eyes showing a moment of panic, but she seemed to be trying hard to hold back.

"It wouldn't have gotten lost anyway, you idiot." The boy suddenly ripped off her hair drying cap, letting her elegant, long, coffee-colored hair fall down, and vigorously ruffled her hair.

"Huh?" The girl's pupils contracted, and she looked down at her hair with a blank expression. "Does Cheng Fei like me to show my hair?"

"Nonsense, Shen Xi understands, don't you? I'll dry it for you when we get back." The boy ruffled her hair haphazardly, letting the damp, messy strands tangle around the girl's face, making her look even more pitiful.

"So Cheng Fei will help me blow-dry my hair?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes lit up.

"I helped her blow the whistle yesterday, so I figured I should blow it for you too." The boy nodded.

"Cheng Fei!" The girl looked at the boy with great emotion and suddenly gave him a bear hug, causing ripples to spread across the poolside.

"Idiot, I told you not to pounce on people like that." The boy caught her with a helpless expression and put her back in her original position.

"But I just can't resist." Nagasaki Asuna clung to the boy, then separated after a moment's thought. "Oh, right, I want to perform a talent for Cheng Fei!"

"What talent?" The boy stared at her suspiciously.

"What's with Cheng Fei's expression? He's definitely suspecting me of doing something wrong again, isn't he? That's a stereotype, that's so unfair!" the girl protested.

"So what exactly is your talent?"

“This.” Nagasaki Asuna stretched out her wrist and shook it. A thin red string was tied around the girl’s wrist. Under the boy’s gaze, she untied it and put it on her fingertips, spreading her ten fingers and playing with it with a serious expression.

"Cat's rope?" The boy understood after a few seconds.

"Hmm~" The girl's lips curled into a smile.

Soon, Nagasaki Asuna displayed her work to the boy, looking up with a smug smile, "It's finished, tsk tsk~"

"what is this?"

"Nana's heart." The girl kept her arms outstretched, supporting the red rope.

Appearing amidst the complex intersecting lines is a geometric heart pattern cut out by straight lines; even Cheng Fei wouldn't easily figure out how she flipped it.

"Actually, this isn't completely finished yet. I need Cheng Fei's help, okay?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.

"How can I help?" The boy looked at her and decided to cooperate.

"Put your fingers in first, here, and here..." The girl guided him by moving her fingertips as she spread the red rope.

"Okay." The boy did as instructed.

So the framework supporting his heart was moved between his hands, and to avoid chaos, the boy had to carefully ensure that all ten fingers were in a fixed position.

"What do we do next?" the boy asked the girl in front of him.

Nagasaki Asuna's hands were freed, and if I'm not mistaken, she would need his help to complete an even more complex pattern.

perhaps.

819. Ye Shuang was betrayed by Nagasaki Asuna

"Cheng Fei, just stay still like this..." The sweet girl looked at the boy who was facing her with a heart pattern spread out, swallowed, and suddenly cupped his face, leaning her upper body forward to cross the red rope.

When the boy realized he had been completely fooled, his hands were frozen in place to keep the girl's artwork in place. He could only watch as that gentle, healing, and alluring face magnified in his eyes, her plump, pink lips parted slightly, offering her sweet breath without reservation.

During this process, the bath towel, which was already overburdened from barely covering certain things, lost its restraint and automatically unfurled, silently slipping into the water.

The atmosphere in the hot spring pool became tranquil amidst the rising steam.

After a brief hesitation, the boy abandoned her carefully woven creation. As the red rope unfurled and drifted in the pool, he too was swept away by the girl's irresistible charm.

This situation continued until a certain moment, when the sweet girl, who had been extremely compliant and soft and had not resisted any exploration, suddenly slapped him and broke free. She returned to her original position, covered with a bath towel, and glanced at the entrance of the courtyard with her moist eyes reflecting the shimmering pool water. She pursed her lips and remained silent, with a lingering blush on her slightly chubby cheeks.

Under Cheng Fei's questioning gaze, a cool and aloof girl with slightly narrowed eyes walked in. Her ambiguous gaze swept over the two of them as if she hadn't seen anything. She took off her bathrobe, folded it neatly, and put it into the basket for clothes. Wrapped in a bath towel, she walked into the hot spring pool, sat down on the other side of Cheng Fei, and remained motionless with an indifferent expression.

The meticulously decorated, Zen-inspired courtyard suddenly fell silent.

"Teacher Shen, what's this?" Cheng Fei hesitated, cautiously examining the aloof girl.

"Soaking in a hot spring, you have a problem with that?" Shen Xi raised her chin and said coldly, not even looking at him, staring at the maple tree opposite.

"No." The boy quickly shook his head, then exchanged a glance with Nagasaki Asuna on the other side. "I thought you went to play games."

"I was going to go, but then I thought better of it." Shen Xi let out a cold laugh, which was quite meaningful.

The boy thought for a moment, then coughed lightly, "I understand. Then the three of us can soak together. I hope Nana won't mind?"

"Nana is fine, I originally wanted to get along well with Shen Xi, right?" Nagasaki Asuna obediently shook her head.

Shen Xi sneered again at this.

"I just didn't expect Shen Xi to come over on her own initiative. Is this revenge for yesterday?" The sweet girl peeked at her and blinked nonchalantly.

"Interpret it however you like, just don't hold a grudge against me for interrupting your good time." Shen Xi said expressionlessly.

"I'm not as petty as Shen Xi, am I?" Nagasaki Asuna looked down at the water and said casually.

"Heh, that makes sense. I'm different from people like you." Shen Xi lowered her eyes, speaking as if it were just a casual remark.

"Does it have to be this way?" Nagasaki Asuna glanced at the other person, remaining expressionless.

"What did I do?" Shen Xi glanced at the other person and narrowed her eyes.

As Cheng Fei sat between the two men, he felt a crackling electric current clashing in the air in front of him.

"You two!" The young man shuddered and clapped his hands to interrupt them. "You've been arguing since last year, you should be used to it by now. Just tug at your hair however you want, give me, Cheng Fei, some face and enjoy a nice soak in the hot spring now, how about it?"

After she finished speaking, Nagasaki Asuna nestled against the boy and fell silent, while Shen Xi also turned her face away and shut her mouth.

Seeing the pool water finally calm down, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but exclaim, "You two are really something."

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a moment.

Nagasaki Asuna hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Oh, right, Shen Xi, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What?" The cool-tongued girl's voice remained unchanged.

"Ye Shuang will be coming over later, so it will be four of us soaking together. Be prepared," Nagasaki Asuna said with concern.

After a second of silence, Shen Xi's pupils contracted, and her brows furrowed, as if she were both shocked and angry. "What...you?!"

Cheng Fei glanced at her sideways, "Nana, are you serious?"

"Mmm." The sweet girl looked at him and nodded.

"Teacher Shen, please calm down. Although I didn't know about this either, thinking about it carefully, it's nothing serious. Let's all make some tea together." The boy quickly turned around and said.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and sneered, "Hopeless trash! Do you think this is satisfying?"
