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

Tang Yu thought for a moment, then clicked on the attachment sent by the other party, which contained brief information about the target.

"Shen Xi?" The young woman stared at the expressionless, aloof face on the screen, lost in thought.

……

The next day.

Academy City.

Before the rising sun had a chance to unleash its heat, the streets were bathed in a cool, pleasant glow. The temperature was comfortable, and on the gentle slope leading to Yinghua, boys and girls in their crisp school uniforms hurried along.

"No! I remember just starting my vacation! Who stole my holiday? It was you, wasn't it? I'll stab you to death!"

"So sleepy, I have to get up early again..."

"I'm a senior in high school, why hasn't my sweet romance arrived yet?"

Various conversations rang out among the students in pairs.

At that moment, a convoy of black luxury cars drove through the middle of the road and stopped directly in front of the school.

A girl with long, straight legs encased in white over-the-knee socks and a warm smile exuding the elegance of a well-bred young lady got out of the car first. The men in black who had been on guard quickly came to the back car, opened the door, and took the small hand that was being offered to her.

Then, her slender legs, encased in thin black pantyhose, emerged first, her high-end black uniform shoes stepping on the ground. Then, the haughty girl with rosy eyes and cascading black hair used the momentum to stand up, raised her chin, covered her mouth, and let out a lazy yawn.

"It's Lin Xuanqi..."

"The richest and most beautiful girl in Sakura has made her debut again..."

"Actually, I still think Ye Shuang is prettier..."

Various gazes were cast from all around, and amidst the usual chatter, some freshmen looked bewildered.

After Lin Xuanqi and Ye Shuang got out of the car, the convoy turned around and drove away.

A sleek silver coupe passed by the convoy, its engine emitting a deep roar. As the vehicle slowed down, its beautiful full-width taillights lit up in red, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"This car is so cool, whose is it?"

"Cheng Fei's Panamera, you don't even recognize that?"

The silver sports car nimbly glided into the empty parking space at the school gate. The door opened, and a tall, handsome young man stepped out, one hand in his pocket, his bag slung over his shoulder, and walked toward the school gate.

"It's Cheng Fei...!"

"So handsome...!"

"How come you've gotten even more handsome after just one vacation...?!"

The crowd suddenly became restless, and of course, most of the restless people were girls.

The gentle-looking boy paid no attention to the stares. With a smile, he stepped forward, took Lin Xuanqi's hand, who had been waiting there after getting off the bus, and walked into the campus with Ye Shuang by his side. The three of them disappeared into the distance.

Down the gentle slope, Nagasaki Asuna shaded her eyes with her hand as she looked at the scene and sighed, "At first glance, it really is an enviable relationship, whether from Cheng Fei's or Lin's perspective."

"Only a gold-digging fool who doesn't know the truth would envy such a ostentatious couple." Shen Xi said coldly, making no attempt to hide her contempt.

"Hey, what if Teacher Shen replaces Lin in the future and everyone sees it? Wouldn't that be considered a pair of adulterers flaunting their relationship?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes darted around, her smile not without a hint of sarcasm.

"You vixen, do you talk too much?" Shen Xi glanced at her with narrowed eyes.

"I'm sorry~" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and gave a healing smile that made it impossible for anyone to be angry.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair walked forward with an indifferent expression.

A sweet girl with long coffee-colored hair walked into the school gate in step with her.

As the two talked, their stunningly beautiful appearances drew attention wherever they went, causing everyone to instinctively stare at them. Once they were out of sight, the conversation would turn to them, with people whispering and gossiping about them.

Not long after the two, a young girl with slender legs encased in thin white pantyhose walked through the school gate carrying a bag. Her features, framed by her black hair, were childlike and sweet, and despite her expressionless face, she was still eye-catching.

Young men and women, their hearts fluttering with the stirrings of spring, passed by the tall cherry blossom trees at the school gate, bringing laughter and joy back to the campus that had been quiet for over a month.

……

As is customary, Yinghua held its new semester opening ceremony in the gymnasium, which was attended by all first- and second-year high school students.

"Hello everyone, I am Kong Ruizhe, the new student council president. I will lead the student council to serve you all for the next year..." A handsome blond boy walked onto the stage and bowed formally.

In the audience, within the group of Class 6, Grade 11, the boy with the pompadour clenched his fist. "Damn it, isn't this guy Kong Siyuan's younger brother? This sibling power struggle is too shady!"

"There's no shady business here. He was the vice president before, so it's only natural that he took over as president now, right, Ruan Jingyi?" Zhou Han, who was in front, turned around with a look of disdain.

The quiet girl next to him nodded silently.

Chen Hao's fist hardened, his face filled with grief. "So you stupid little girls, you're in your second year of high school and you still don't realize the real power struggles in this world? Haven't you ever thought about why he became the vice president in the first place?"

Du Xinhua, standing next to him, glanced sideways and pondered for a moment, "If I remember correctly, it was the result of an internal student council vote, which means he was recognized by everyone in the student council in his first year of high school, so it wasn't too deliberate, right?"

“Exactly, just like Cheng Fei has become the vice president of the student council. He was elected by everyone, so don’t be jealous.” Zhou Han nodded repeatedly.

"What?!" Chen Hao's eyes widened, and he grabbed his hair, his face filled with horror. "Cheng Fei became the vice president of the student council? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?!"

"You don't even know this, yet you always brag about being well-informed, like you were involved in the end-of-semester voting, right, Ruan Jingyi?" Zhou Han thought for a moment, then turned to her best friend for help.

"Mm." The quiet girl, a member of the student council, nodded.

"Hey kid, you don't still want to be the student council president, do you? I felt like Kong Siyuan was taking good care of you before, did you make some kind of deal with her? Tell me the truth!" Chen Hao put his arm around the shoulder of the boy next to him who hadn't participated in the conversation the whole time.

The boy, who hadn't paid any attention to the speech on stage or the chatter of the others, looked up, his face blank. "Huh?"

"We're talking about your appointment as vice president, don't play dumb!" Chen Hao revealed a serious expression as if interrogating a spy.

"What should I be?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled.

"The student council vice president!"

"Who will be the vice president of the student council?" Cheng Fei was even more puzzled.

"You! Did you ruin your ears while playing during summer vacation?" Chen Hao asked suspiciously.

The boy, who was the focus of everyone's attention, remained silent for a second. "There are such things in the world? How come I didn't know?"

Chen Hao scrutinized him for a second, then looked at the two girls in front of him, "Could it be that your information is wrong?"

"Ruan Jingyi?" Zhou Han looked at her best friend.

The quiet girl tilted her head in response, as if to ask a question.

At this moment, Kong Ruizhe's voice rang out from the stage, "Next, please welcome the newly appointed vice president of the student council, Cheng Fei, to speak as a representative of the second year of high school."

The air was quiet for a second.

"You were just pretending, kid?!" Chen Hao pointed at Cheng Fei, his expression like he'd caught a class enemy.

The boy hesitated, then said, "I only know I have to speak, I really don't know anything about this."

The probability that the student council will elect the next vice president in the end-of-term vote is very low, but it seems to be more than zero.

Regardless, the boy stood up and walked onto the stage amidst various gazes, facing all the first and second-year students of Sakura Academy.

The young man stood under the spotlight, without a script, one hand in his pocket, leaning forward to hold the microphone, and began to speak to everyone in his usual calm tone, "Hello everyone, I am Cheng Fei."

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

"Senior Cheng Fei!"

"Senior, I like you!"

She seemed to be a freshman; I don't know why, but her charming voice was captivating.

"Cheng Fei is awesome!"

It seems to be a continuation of last year's situation.

"Long live Cheng Fei!"

Strange shouts even rang out, making the boy standing on the stage twitch.

"What? Aren't you a freshman too? How do you know this senior?"

"Don't you think Senior Cheng Fei is handsome? That's why I came to Yinghua University!"

"He does seem really handsome, but besides being handsome, what else is so special about him? Why are so many people fond of him?"

"Don't you know? Senior Cheng Fei plays the piano exceptionally well, is also very athletic, and has excellent grades. He's practically the perfect romantic partner!"

Excited voices promoting the idea rang out.

"These new little devils..."

"Exactly, there's a waiting list if you like Cheng Fei..."

"I need to find a chance to let them know how powerful my senior is at pulling hair..."

Dark words also crawled.

Such discussions caused a stir throughout the stadium.

Lin Xuanqi sat in the first row, staring at the boy on the stage with a half-smile.

Ye Shuang, standing beside her, maintained her warm, obedient smile.

In the area designated for Class 7 of the second year of high school, Shen Xi sat alone on the edge, listening to the continuous conversations around her, and sighed while pinching her brow.

Among the new students, the petite and naive girl looked around, listening with a vague understanding, and had a bad feeling.

Oh no, it seems like a lot of girls here are trying to steal her brother away...?!

868. Brother…!

After the opening ceremony, students returned to their respective classrooms.

"Hello, Senior Cheng Fei!"

"Senior~ You're not nervous at all on stage, can you teach me your secret?"

"Hello, senior! Nice to meet you, I am..."

Along the way, the boy, with his hands in his pockets, was approached by a large number of unidentified freshmen and became the center of attention the whole time.

Chen Hao put his arm around Cheng Fei's shoulder, his gaze shifting left and right. "Hey! You've monopolized all the female students' resources, you've gone too far!"

"I don't want to thank you for something like this." The boy, whose smile was a little stiff, shook his head and sighed.

"What do you mean by 'monopolizing'? These girls were all attracted to Yinghua by Cheng Fei. The principal should be thanking Cheng Fei." Zhou Han, who was holding Ruan Jingyi's arm, snorted lightly, as if she was the one who had single-handedly recruited new students for Yinghua.

"It's said that Yinghua University has increased its enrollment by 10% this year, and the tuition has also increased slightly. The principal really has to thank Cheng Fei." Du Xinhua said seriously on the other side.

The small group walked into the classroom while chatting, and the boy at the center immediately received all sorts of stares and attention.

"Being in the same class as Cheng Fei in the second year of high school, is this fate?"

"That's great, I can see him every day..."

"It would be even better if I sat next to him..."

A group of unfamiliar girls huddled together and whispered among themselves.

Due to the class division in the second year of high school, a small number of liberal arts students in Class 6 were transferred out, and new science students were brought in from other classes to fill the gap.

Cheng Fei ignored the stares and sat down alone in the corner by the window on the inside of his classroom. He looked up at the ceiling, wondering if Shen Xi was still above him.

Soon, all fifty seats in the class were filled by both new and returning students, leaving only a few empty seats.

Cheng Fei noticed that the seat in front of him was still empty, and remembered that the boy seemed to have chosen liberal arts.

The empty seat attracted several eager eyes; some people were already holding their bags, seemingly preparing to switch seats amidst the chaos.

At that moment, a haughty girl with cascading black hair silently entered the classroom, silencing the entire space for a brief instant.

Lin Xuanqi, with a lollipop in her mouth, scanned the entire audience from the podium and walked off in a certain direction on her own.

"How could it be her..."

"I heard she's not someone to mess with; she actually came to Class Six too..."

"Oh no, she looks like she's going to..."

Lin Xuanqi ignored all gazes, went to the inside of the classroom, and sat down directly in the empty corner by the window, as if it were her seat all along.

Zhou Han stared at this scene, her round eyes becoming empty, and she hurriedly patted her best friend, "Oh no, oh no, Ruan Jingyi, Lin Xuanqi is here!"
