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

"Shh." The boy made a shushing gesture to interrupt her, and whispered to the girl's puzzled expression, "Shen Xi, of course you are my little cutie, but don't do this."

The girl looked up and met his gaze for a second, then turned her face away, biting her lip slightly as her eyes darted around. "What do you mean? Does Cheng Feiyu not like... me like this?"

As she spoke, her frail body trembled slightly. She gripped his sleeve with one hand and clenched her wrist with the other. A barely perceptible hint of shame and regret flashed deep in her pure, dark eyes, and her fair earlobes, hidden in her thick hair, were stained with a blush.

"Of course I like it, how could I not? If I could, I'd want you to be like this every day." The boy smiled, brushing her smooth hair aside, admiring her delicate face that showed signs of unease. "It's precisely because I like her so much that I can't let you use this trick to get my secrets out, otherwise I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist telling you everything."

Shen Xi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, paused for a second, then her expression became stubborn. She gripped his sleeve tightly, took a deep breath, and this time stared at him expressionlessly, her voice still trembling slightly, "Trash, if you like him, hurry up and tell your little cutie all the secrets..."

She leaned forward, closing the distance between herself and the boy so he could smell her faint fragrance. Her eyes were fixed on him as she swallowed hard, her small, pink lips slightly parted. "Then... you can do whatever you want to my little cutie, so hurry up and tell my little cutie."

"Shen Xi, don't do that, really. You're welcome to act cute anytime, but you're not allowed to use this trick to get secrets." The boy managed to stay awake from the allure of her exquisitely beautiful face, which exuded the clarity of an artwork, and looked at her earnestly.

After the words were spoken, the room, which contained only the two of them, fell into a long silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Xi still held onto Cheng Fei's sleeve, turning her face away and staring at the wall of the room, her expression filled with indescribable emotions. Her stubborn, pink lips were tightly closed, as if she was having a silent confrontation with him, trying to force him to meet her demands in this way.

Time passed by, and then at a certain moment, the boy's phone rang with a WeChat notification.

Under the girl's slightly narrowed gaze, he calmly took out his phone, saw that it was a message from Lin Xuanqi, and immediately replied.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"You're getting ready to sleep after soaking in the hot spring, what's wrong?"

"Bringing your phone to a hot spring?"

"It's waterproof, and it doesn't matter if it breaks. The most important thing is not to miss your messages."

"Glib-tongued"

"Just telling the truth"

"Well... honey, could you take a picture to show them? I'm so tired after a long day of meetings, you know what I'd like to take, hehe."

"You can meet tomorrow, then come see for yourself. Why bother taking pictures?"

"Hmph, I want to see it now."

"That 'humph' was way too deliberate. Xuanqi, what's gotten into you?"

"Cheng Fei, I've discovered you're rebellious at heart. When I'm being mean to you, I try to be cute, and when I'm trying to be nice, I always end up ruining the atmosphere, right?!"

Just reading the words, you can imagine the haughty girl getting angry and pinching his waist.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I'll take a picture for you right away. By the way, you're not checking up on me, are you?"

"I'll check your head, you idiot! I'm lying in bed, can't I even take a look at my things?"

"Okay, then I'd like to see my stuff too. Could you please take a picture and show it to me?"

"You... never mind, you post first, and then I'll post mine too."

"Okay, just a moment."

After replying to this message, Cheng Fei put away his phone and looked up. "Teacher Shen, Lin Xuanqi needs to see me. I'll be right back."

After saying that, the boy quickly got up and left the room.

Shen Xi remained seated, holding onto his sleeve with one hand and gripping his wrist with the other, staring intently at the wall, her teeth clenched, her face alternating between red and white, her flat chest rising and falling more rapidly with her breathing.

Although she couldn't see what the boy was talking about due to the angle, just watching him diligently typing in response was enough to turn her previous embarrassment into annoyance.

"Cheng Fei...you utter...trash!"

Finally, the room echoed with the girl's furious, teeth-gritting curses, and a chilling aura spread like a storm from the depths of the Arctic.

Next door, Miriam, who was lying in a futon sighing over her love life, suddenly shivered, looked up and around, puzzled. "Strange, is the air conditioner broken?"

On the other side, Cheng Fei grabbed a bath towel from the room across the corridor and went to the hot spring pool in the backyard.

The boy took a blurry photo of Lin Xuanqi while submerged in water, smacked his lips, and sent it to her.

"Hey, satisfied? Hurry up and send it to me."

The message was sent but disappeared without a trace. Considering that girls are very selective when taking photos, the boy didn't care.

Thinking of the aloof girl who was probably furious and embarrassed, he left the hot spring pool, wiped his body casually, and went straight to the girl's bathroom with his wet hair, intending to use the hairdryer.

As he passed by the kitchen, he saw Ruan Jingyi seemingly making hangover tea for Zhou Han. The young man casually greeted her without stopping.

Cheng Fei opened the shoji door and saw a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair kneeling in front of a low table, focused on her work, her beautiful face as cold as ice.

"Teacher Shen?" the boy called out beside her.

Shen Xi didn't even move her gaze, her stubborn pink lips tightly closed, as if she couldn't hear or see him, just like when she was annoyed by the boy in the club activity room before.

"Little cutie, are you really angry?" The boy leaned closer to observe her.

He remained silent.

"I had no choice. She messaged me asking what I was doing, and I said I was soaking in a hot spring. She then asked me to take a picture, so I went and took one for her. I came right back after that, and you can see I didn't even dry my hair," the boy said earnestly.

It didn't even blink, like a beautiful sculpture.

"How about we load the save file and go back to where we were?" The boy thought for a moment, then took her slightly cool and soft hand and placed it on his sleeve.

The girl was like a lifeless doll; although she couldn't resist him, she didn't respond to him at all.

"Shen Xi, that's too much. It's just replying to a message. If you don't move, I'll kiss your cheek. You'll regret it." The boy leaned into her line of sight, getting so close that he was almost touching her. He brushed aside her hair and looked down at her chubby, snow-white cheeks, which were as soft and tempting as rice cakes.

The girl's pure, ink-black eyes were devoid of any emotion or focus; their empty gaze seemed to be looking at him, yet also at the distant horizon behind him.

"Cheng Fei." The girl suddenly came back to life and spoke in a soft voice, her tone devoid of emotion, as faint as a mosquito's buzz, like a sigh.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?" The young man stepped back and sat up straight in a second.

"Break up with her." Shen Xi took a deep breath, her flat chest heaving. Her tone was as if she were talking about something trivial, yet it carried an indescribable complex emotion, a mixture of the Star Spirit Queen's unquestionable authority and a child's relentless demand. "Break up now, that's an order."

"Huh?" Cheng Fei was taken aback. "Didn't I already explain to Her Highness that I would break up with her once the prototype was completed?"

"I don't want to wait anymore." The girl gritted her teeth, her kneeling body trembling. The small hand that the boy had previously placed in his sleeve gripped his arm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh. She stared intently at him. "I don't want to wait anymore, do you hear me, Cheng Fei?"

"Shen Xi, calm down. I think you're a little out of it right now. If it really comes down to it, I'll have Ye Shuang tell you that secret, okay?" the boy said helplessly.

"I'm very calm. These are two separate matters. Cheng Feiyu, don't try to brush me off." The girl raised her voice.

“Sweetie, although breaking up is just a matter of a word, I need to spend time transferring funds and finding new investors for RealTech. All of this takes time. I know you’re unhappy, but don’t act impulsively. That’s not your style, is it?” The boy softened his tone and gently stroked her head.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth and turned her face away, gripping his arm even tighter with her small hands, her stubborn lips tightly closed, and she remained silent.

"Little cutie, it'll be all settled in another month or two. You must have the patience, right? If you're in such a hurry, you'll have to accept my public confession on the spot, won't you?" the boy smiled.

The girl paused for a moment, then turned her face away, her eyes flickering, and gave a forced, cold laugh. "Don't dream. It's one thing to order you to break up with me, but it's another thing to say that I would refuse if you did something so stupid."

"You're calm again now?" The boy continued to smile at her. "Whatever you want. I'll do it anyway. You can refuse if you want."

"Trash, you can't break up but you keep spouting this meaningless nonsense." The girl narrowed her eyes and said angrily.

“This isn’t meaningless.” The boy shook his head and scratched his wet hair. “How about I dry my hair first, and then I’ll hold my little cutie and we can chat slowly?”

The girl's face showed displeasure, but her silence was taken as tacit agreement.

at the same time.

The Fengshan Resort was completely silent late at night. Except for a few noisy areas, most people were enjoying the peaceful night.

A black luxury sedan drove across the empty road and arrived deep inside the resort area, stopping at the entrance of Maple Mountain Resort Hotel.

The hotel manager, dressed in a suit and tie, was waiting there. When he saw the license plate, his expression sharpened, and he immediately straightened his back.

Last year, Anshu was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was the Lin family's investment that brought this international hotel chain brand back to life. Now, the Lin family is the major shareholder of Anshu, and the person in the car is, without a doubt, the heir of the Lin family, the important figure who made him work overtime late at night and wait here.

The car stopped in front of the manager, the window rolled down, revealing a haughty young woman lounging inside. Her black hair cascaded down her back, and her naturally flawless face exuded a hint of allure.

The manager lowered his head, not daring to look any longer, and handed over a room key with both hands. "Ms. Lin, this is what you requested, but since you are a hotel guest, you should..."

"Don't worry, whatever happens is none of your business. You don't need to worry about it." Lin Xuanqi took the room key without even looking at him.

"Understood." The manager nodded quickly.

Ultimately, the hotel belongs to someone else, and he's just a high-level employee. He can't control whether infringing on guests' privacy damages the hotel's reputation.

"Alright, go and rest. You've worked hard." Lin Xuanqi waved casually and rolled up the car window.

The black luxury car drove into the hotel, watched by the manager.

Lin Xuanqi held the room key in one hand and opened her phone with the other, looking at the chat history on WeChat. Her gaze lingered for a moment on certain blurry details in the photo.

The car quickly stopped in front of a quaint Japanese-style house, which was the entire building of the hotel for rent, specifically for guests who needed to stay.

"Miss, this is it," said the man in black driving the car.

"You can find your own place to stay for the next few days. With Xiaoshuang here, you don't need to follow me to protect me." Lin Xuanqi said this and opened the car door by herself.

"Yes, Miss, please take care." The man in black bowed his head and drove the car away along the road only after the girl's figure disappeared through the gate of the mansion.

Lin Xuanqi stood in front of the door; the house was quiet, and she could not hear any sound.

The girl took a deep breath, swiped her room card to open the access control, and walked in silently, gently closing the door behind her.

Before you is a spacious entryway, with several pairs of shoes of different styles on the shoe rack, most of which are women's shoes, with only one pair of men's casual shoes.

The shoji door at the end of the entrance hall was closed. Light shone through the washi paper, making the light visible but obscuring what was inside.

Lin Xuanqi changed her shoes very quietly and walked up, placing her hand on the shoji door frame and pushing it forcefully.

The door frame slid, making a soft but clearly audible rustling sound.

Lin Xuanqi peeked out to make sure no one was watching before continuing to walk inside.

It remained quiet inside.

At that moment, faint sounds of conversation began to rang out.

"Does your head still hurt?" The question was asked softly and calmly.

"It's much better now. Your hangover tea is amazing. I always get a headache from drinking alcohol, I really don't understand why." Then came a spirited voice, tinged with a hint of distress.

"You're drunk. This tea was taught to me by my mother." The voice was soft and calm.

"No, no, I'm not drunk at all. That glass wasn't much to begin with, and I even shared it with Asuna."

"You can't hold your liquor."

Lin Xuanqi walked into the living room, followed the sound to the kitchen, and saw Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi standing inside.

When the three of them met eyes, the air fell silent for a second.

Zhou Han's round eyes widened suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost. "Lin, Lin...?!"

"Shh." Lin Xuanqi made a shushing gesture, a dangerous glint appearing in her reddened eyes.

The petite girl shut her mouth in an instant, swallowed hard, and exchanged a glance with Ruan Jingyi.

They knew very well that the arrogant girl in front of them was not someone they could afford to offend.

"Is Ye Shuang here?" Lin Xuanqi looked at the two of them casually, thought for a moment and then asked.

"You're looking for her? We'll go and call her for you," Zhou Han said cautiously.

In this situation, it would be best to ask Ye Shuang for help; she doesn't want to spend any more time with Lin Xuanqi.

"No need, just take me to her room." Lin Xuanqi shook her head, her voice not loud but firm.

827. Cheng Fei's Escape Room

"Okay, then you go this way." The petite girl nodded quickly and led her down the corridor to Ye Shuang's room, which she remembered. At the same time, she was thinking about finding an opportunity to inform Cheng Fei and Shen Xi about this, so that the two of them wouldn't be caught in the act.

Ruan Jingyi followed silently beside her.

"Is everyone else asleep?" Lin Xuanqi turned her head to look at the petite girl and said softly, as if she were chatting casually.

"Yeah, everyone's tired after a day of playing outside." Zhou Han said honestly.

Lin Xuanqi did not comment on this.

The three arrived at a shoji screen door, and Zhou Han pointed, "This is Ye Shuang's room."

"I understand." Lin Xuanqi nodded slightly and raised her voice a little as she said, "Xiao Shuang, I'm coming in."
