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

"Fine, that makes sense, it's just a hassle to transfer anyway." The girl narrowed her eyes, her displeasure returning.

"No, let's take the subway, Ms. Shen." The boy changed his mind in a second and pulled her toward the entrance of the station not far away.

So when the two entered the carriage, Shen Xi glanced at the seats that were all occupied, and kicked the boy in front of her with her uniform shoes, not too hard, not too soft, and said, "Trash."

"Teacher Shen, why are you scolding me again?" The boy, who was studying the advertisement, looked down and looked wronged.

"Go ahead and curse if you want," the girl said coldly, with an air of self-righteousness.

As soon as she finished speaking, she slipped her arms between the boy's outer shirt and inner T-shirt, pressed herself against him, hugged him tightly, and transferred all her weight to him. She even slightly raised her heels off the ground, her fair and dazzling calves taut, long and beautiful like works of art.

"Trash, hurry up." The girl kicked him again, her face buried deep in her chest, her voice muffled and unreadable.

The boy sighed helplessly, then used his free hand to climb up her back and tighten his grip on her, making the girl cling even more tightly to him.

So, in a relatively spacious corner of the train carriage after the morning rush hour, a young man and woman embraced tightly, seemingly unwilling to take up even an inch more space. No one who saw them would doubt that they were a couple.

On the return journey, which was faster than on the way there, their tight embrace had an undisguised feel to it. In the cool air from the air conditioning, they could clearly feel the fiery energy of each other's heartbeats and the rising and falling temperatures of each other's bodies, as if even the frequency of their breaths was merging together.

……

The two returned to Guang'an Street, to the familiar high-end apartment building on the 36th floor.

As soon as you enter the gate, Nagasaki Asuna appears, standing in the entryway with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and flashing her signature gentle and healing smile. "Welcome home, both of you~"

The aloof girl nervously straightened her school uniform shoes, ignoring her with a cold expression, only to be met with an unceremoniously bear hug the next second.

"How are the clothes I picked? Did they work?" the sweet girl whispered with a smile in her ear.

Cheng Fei, standing to the side, scrutinized Shen Xi's burgundy bra dress and suddenly realized, "Teacher Shen, so that's what it's all about?"

"Shut up, you vixen." The aloof girl's eyes flashed as she glared at Nagasaki Asuna without any politeness, then pushed her aside and strode forward.

"Teacher Shen, wait for me." The boy followed without making a sound.

She immediately turned around and glared at him, her pretty face filled with condescending disdain, her tone unwavering, "Don't follow me, worry about what that Lin guy will do to your vixen at noon."

After saying that, he walked into the bedroom without looking back and closed the door, leaving the two of them watching him go.

"Ah, I feel a bit embarrassed." Nagasaki Asuna blinked, standing still, as if sensing something.

"Let her go, Nana-sensei." The boy shook his head and ruffled Nagasaki Asuna's hair.

"Hey, Teacher Nana, when was the last time Cheng Fei called me that?" The sweet girl tapped her chin with her fingertip and pondered seriously.

"Never mind what time it is, let's talk about you and Lin Xuanqi." The boy pinched her soft cheek.

after a while.

Cheng Fei arrived at the closed bedroom door and knocked. "Teacher Shen, Nana and I are going out, so we won't be having lunch with you."

Unsurprisingly, there was no response; she might even have put on her infiltration helmet. However, the boy knew she could hear him.

After finishing this task, Cheng Fei went straight to the garage, drove his GLS, and parked it downstairs to wait.

Not long after, a sweet girl dressed neatly in the Sakura school uniform appeared and got into the passenger seat.

"Tsk tsk~ JK Nana in her initial form, doesn't it feel different?" Nagasaki Asuna opened her arms and smiled as she showed him.

The boy glanced at her navy blue school uniform jacket and realized that this was the first time he had seen her wear it; usually, she wore various colored knitwear instead.

"Why did this happen all of a sudden?" The boy drove out of the residential area.

"It would be best to be careful if I went to see Lin. It wouldn't be good if I stood out and got her eye on me." The sweet girl nodded thoughtfully.

"As expected of you, tea ceremony teacher." Cheng Fei nodded, then paused. "So why did she contact you? Do you have any clue?"

"Well..." Nagasaki Asuna pondered, stroking her chin. She shifted her posture, turning sideways to face the boy, her fair legs pressed together beneath her skirt. "Although I'm a little worried, I also feel like she might want to thank me or something?"

"Thank you?" The boy glanced sideways at the steering wheel.

"That night I went to tell her that Cheng Fei was at the hot spring, and she seemed to think I was an ally?" the girl recalled.

"There's such a saying?" Cheng Fei was a little surprised.

"Hmm, and she's been really interested in Shuangshuang ever since that day. Maybe the person she's trying to catch in this surprise attack isn't Shen Xi, but Shuangshuang?" Nagasaki Asuna said seriously.

"So that's why she didn't tell Master Ye about the itinerary? That makes sense." The young man pondered; he had considered this possibility as well.

"Probably? But since I haven't talked to her much, I can't really guess what she's thinking just from her expressions. Lin is quite shrewd." The girl frowned slightly.

"It's good that it wasn't directed at you." The boy nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Hey, Cheng Fei clearly said on WeChat that Nana is more important than any plan, but he's actually worried that the plan will be ruined. How cunning! He's using words to deceive Nana's feelings!" Nagasaki Asuna suddenly widened her eyes and stared at him in protest.

"Talking techniques my foot! Please don't learn from Shen Xi. You are more important than the plan, but of course, it's best if you don't ruin the plan." The boy pinched her cheek in annoyance.

"Nana was just kidding, hehehe~" The girl became smug, then thought for a moment and said nonchalantly, "By the way, the atmosphere between Cheng Fei and her seems different after a day out. Did they unlock some new interactions?"

"Nothing's unlocked yet, don't ask anymore." The boy ruffled her hair.

"They became closer without doing anything more intimate?" The girl stared in disbelief, then grabbed her hair and lamented, "Oh no, I should have known better than to help her pick out clothes."

The boy glanced at her serious expression, shook his head, and sighed.

"Um, Cheng Fei, if I may ask again, will you always like Nana? Even if one day Shen Xi becomes more charming and stylish and takes everything away from Nana." The girl looked at the boy cautiously.

"Take your head away, my foot! You're hopeless." The boy ruffled her hair haphazardly. "Even if a supernatural event like her laughing really happened, her laughter wouldn't be as sweet as yours."

"Hey, is Nana sweet?" The girl tilted her head and blinked, looking innocent and bewildered, as if she really had no idea what the answer was.

"You vixen, putting on an act again. You really want to be praised?" The boy glanced at her.

"It's not a vixen, it's a cat. Cats always look forward to being praised by their owners; that's the happiest thing for them." The girl shook her head from side to side, watched him swallow hard, and pressed her legs together tightly under her skirt, her expression becoming restless.

"If you want to be praised, figure out how to do it yourself," the boy said casually.

"Yes~ Then Cheng Fei, would you like to park the car first?" The girl seemed to sense something, her clear and bright eyes welled up with tears, and her sweet face visibly warmed up.

The young man checked the time and confirmed that there was still some time before the lunch he and Lin Xuanqi had booked. He slowly pulled over to the side of the road and adjusted the seat and steering wheel to create more space.

Nagasaki Asuna immediately unbuckled her seatbelt, her nimble, cat-like body leaping over the center console to stand before him, her posture indescribably obedient and submissive.

"Cheng Fei, the cat wants the antidote." The sweet, elegant girl with long, coffee-colored hair tilted her head, her clear eyes reflecting the boy's face, her voice sweet and alluring, "How about we let the cat take the antidote to Lin?"

"Still insisting you're not a vixen?" The young man gently stroked her soft cheek.

"She's not a vixen. Nana liked Cheng Fei before her. Nana was the one who came first." The girl covered his face with his hands and hair, shaking her head with an air of certainty.

The boy recalled for a moment and nodded, "That seems to be the case, right?"

“That’s right, Nana was the first one, so Cheng Fei should pamper this cat more, okay?” The girl nodded vigorously, her expression incredibly endearing.

"I wouldn't say I was first, could I? I can't be earlier than Shen Xi, can I?" The boy pulled her closer.

"I was the first to decide to give everything to Cheng Fei, so I was the first, the most obedient and well-behaved cat..." The girl gradually became dazed.

"How obedient are you?" The boy manipulated her as if she were his own doll.

"She's very obedient, the kind of obedient who would go to her death right away if she were told to..." The girl seemed oblivious to everything, and hesitated for a moment, "Um, Cheng Fei, I still have to go see Lin, so my clothes can't be too messy."

"Vixen." The boy pressed the back of her head towards him.

"Woo...!" The girl let out a cat-like whimper and became completely submissive.

It was almost noon.

When the GLS arrived near South Bay, Cheng Fei hailed a taxi for Nagasaki Asuna and told her to go to Lin Xuanqi's place by herself.

"Where is Cheng Fei going for lunch?" The girl carefully tidied her hair and clothes, like a clean cat licking its fur, her legs pressed tightly together under her skirt.

"I'm nearby, I'll be there right away if there's any problem," the young man said, gently stroking her head.

"I feel cared about, hehehe~" The girl happily jumped into the boy's arms and rubbed against him.

When the taxi stopped in front of him, Cheng Fei opened the car door for her, watched the vehicle drive towards Nanwan, and then returned to his own car. He slowly followed, intending to find a place nearby to have lunch and wait.

Unsure of Lin Xuanqi's intentions, he decided to proceed with caution.

Although he had promised Ye Shuang that he wouldn't physically harm Lin Xuanqi, it would be a different story if she dared to do anything to Nagasaki Asuna, and Cheng Fei would definitely not be polite then.

……

The licensed taxi drove into the secluded estate in South Bay, past the bull sculpture and the dynamic fountain, and stopped in front of the palatial villa.

Asuna Nagasaki got out of the car and looked around. She saw Lin Xuanqi standing at the door surrounded by maids, smiling and waving at her.

A Japanese exchange student with long, brown hair stepped forward and exclaimed softly in surprise, "Lin's house is indeed very big."

"It's alright, nothing special." The arrogant girl with red eyes smiled and turned to go inside. "Come on, try the cooking of my chefs. I had them make Japanese food."

"Thank you~" Nagasaki Asuna replied politely and followed.

As she entered the lobby, she caught sight of a piano in the corner. With her hands behind her back and her eyes darting around, she casually asked, "Can Lin play the piano too?"

"I know a little. Cheng Fei learned piano from me back then, but I never expected him to play better than me later." Lin Xuanqi turned around with a smile, looking at the piano with a reminiscing expression.

“In that case, Lin must be very talented too. After all, there’s a saying… ‘A great teacher produces great students.’” Nagasaki Asuna smiled as well.

"You should know it too, right? You know more about music than I do." Lin Xuanqi walked forward nonchalantly.

"Me? I can't play the piano." The sweet girl continued to smile as she watched her back, but only a closer look would reveal a different meaning flashing in her eyes, and her shapely, slender legs under her skirt pressed even closer together.

844. Lin Xuanqi's Plum Wine

"Anyway, it's not difficult at all." Lin Xuanqi chuckled lightly, seemingly unconvinced.

The two entered the elegantly furnished restaurant. At the end of the long table were only two sets of cutlery, and the chef was serving up food with an ingenious plating.

"Please sit down, don't be shy." Lin Xuanqi gestured for the guests to sit down and took a seat with the sweet girl.

Asuna Nagasaki glanced at the dishes on the table, blinked, and sighed, "I hope Lin-kun won't charge me for this meal? I can't afford it."

The bluefin tuna belly has a marbled texture as fine as marble, the tiger pufferfish sashimi is sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings, the translucent Ise lobster is served in its shell, the sushi is paired with purple sea urchin and sturgeon caviar sauce, the Kobe beef is grilled on the spot by the chef and paired with matsutake mushrooms sprinkled with salt. Even though it was at home, the dishes were more dazzling than the kaiseki cuisine that Cheng Fei had taken her to eat.

Lin Xuanqi chuckled, "What are you talking about? We're classmates, how could I let you pay?"

"That's good." Nagasaki Asuna gently patted her chest and breathed a small sigh of relief.

Lin Xuanqi glanced at the woman's ample figure, which was comparable to her own, and subtly looked away, smiling, "Besides, you're a shareholder of Real Technology, can't you even afford a meal?"

"Yes, I do have some equity, but I don't have much money. I was just pulled in by Shen Xi to work here?" Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment, her serious expression suggesting she wasn't faking it.

After the chef poured sake for the two of them, the sweet girl shook her head, "Um, I'm sorry, I can't drink alcohol."

So the chef immediately replaced it with Phoenix Dancong tea that had already been brewed.

Asuna Nagasaki took a sip of tea, savoring its rich floral and fruity aromas, and looked at Lin Xuanqi, who was picking up a piece of tiger porcupine sashimi to enjoy. "So, Lin-kun, why did you ask me to come here today?"

“There’s no particular reason.” The haughty girl shook her head casually, swallowing the refreshing and chewy fish slice in her mouth. “I suddenly realized that we’ve known each other for quite a while, but we haven’t had a proper chat yet, so I invited you to dinner.”

"What do I have to talk about?" Nagasaki Asuna gave a harmless smile and took a bite of the sea urchin gunkan.

"You're no ordinary person either, so don't be modest." Lin Xuanqi rested her chin on one hand and met her gaze, a smile curving her lips.

"I'm not an ordinary person?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked, puzzled. "Why?"

Lin Xuanqi tapped her cheek rhythmically with her fingertips, then pondered for a moment, "In Yinghua, if we disregard family background and only consider individual ability, who do you think ranks first?"

“Well… Shen Xi? I think she’s smarter than anyone else.” Nagasaki Asuna’s eyes darted around.

"Shen Xi won't do. She's intelligent, but her emotional intelligence is too low. She can't get along with anyone. In this era, you can't succeed by going it alone." Lin Xuanqi sneered, her tone full of sarcasm.

Nagasaki Asuna immediately said, "That's Cheng Fei? He can get first place in the grade and he's also very good at dealing with people."

“Cheng Fei is very outstanding, but being first in the grade in high school doesn’t really prove anything. Everyone who ranks at the top in Yinghua is excellent.” Lin Xuanqi shook her head.

"That's Lin, everyone says you're an investment genius, and they even call you... the Witch of South Bay? You've made astronomical sums of money at such a young age." Nagasaki Asuna gazed at that naturally flawless little face.

"To be honest, if I hadn't been born into the Lin family, I could have achieved what I have today, but it would definitely have taken many more years." Lin Xuanqi shook her head.

"Then who else?" Nagasaki Asuna asked, confused.

"You." Lin Xuanqi met her gaze, her slightly narrowed eyes revealing an unreadable expression.

"I'm the best in Sakura, how is that possible?" The sweet girl looked bewildered.

"At least in my opinion, it's you." Lin Xuanqi's lips curled into a smile, her tone resolute.

"Why?" Nagasaki Asuna met her gaze.

"You came to Academy City alone, ranked third in your grade at Sakura Academy, and supported your studies by working as a singer and voice actress. In terms of intelligence, you are no worse than Cheng Fei and Shen Xi. In terms of hard work, you are comparable to Cheng Fei. In terms of talent, you are also very impressive. Before Cheng Fei met me, your achievements were even greater than his." Lin Xuanqi said slowly, then paused. "Moreover, who is in charge of the finances and personnel of Real Technology now? It's you."
