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

“Brother, so…” Kato Ai’s desire stirred again.

"Aiyi." The boy pressed down on her shoulder again, looking down into her eyes.

"Is it...?" The young girl's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Sakura's studies are very demanding. Even though you're an art student, you absolutely can't relax. Now hurry back to the classroom and preview this semester's material. I need to go preview it too. We can talk about anything else later." The boy said seriously.

"Huh? Okay..." The young girl opened her mouth.

"That's all for today. I look forward to seeing how you do on the monthly exam. Good luck!" The boy said in a serious, encouraging tone, then turned and left without hesitation.

Ai Kato stood there, blinking as she watched his retreating figure.

……

When Cheng Fei returned to the classroom, he was immediately subjected to torture and interrogation by Chen Hao.

"You better explain yourself! How do you know that Ai Kato?!" The boy with the pompadour was filled with indignation.

Zhou Han stared blankly at the boy, her tone wistful, "Yeah, Cheng Fei... why did she just hug you like that? How could she hug you? That's not right, is it?"

"Actually, Kato Ai is Nagasaki Asuna's younger sister. We spent some time together in Japan before and she was quite close to me. We're just ordinary friends, so don't overthink it." The boy casually lowered his head to read his book.

"Are you really just ordinary friends?" Chen Hao rubbed his chin, staring intently at him.

Zhou Han's expression changed instantly, and she nodded with a smile, "Asuna's younger sister? I see. I've never heard her mention her before. She is indeed as beautiful as Asuna."

"No matter what, it's Cheng Fei's private matter, so don't make a big deal out of it." Du Xinhua remained an uninvolved observer as always.

"Hmph, don't make it sound like I'm jealous of him. It's just that a petite and adorable Japanese exchange student who's only been in school for two days came to the classroom and pounced on me, calling me 'brother.' It's nothing!" Chen Hao looked at the ceiling, tears welling in his eyes.

"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, how about you introduce me to her later?" Zhou Han asked casually.

"No problem, we'll meet again anyway." The boy nodded.

In this atmosphere, the small group stopped dwelling on the issue of Kato Ai and quietly passed the lunch break.

……

When the bell rang for the end of the last class in the afternoon, Cheng Fei, who had packed up his textbooks in advance, got up as quickly as possible, walked to the back door, looked around to make sure that a certain shy girl had not appeared, and then quickly left the floor where Class 6 of Grade 11 was located.

With his hands in his pockets, the boy walked through the wisteria-covered corridor toward the club activity building.

During this time, he was approached by several people, and was even nearly bumped into by a freshman walking hurriedly around a corner, but the boy nimbly dodged him.

The club activity building also became very lively.

According to Sakura Academy's rules, every student must join a club, and the freshmen are immersed in a happy dilemma.

The situation where Cheng Fei had to drag it out for a long time before reluctantly looking for a club that allowed him to leave early was probably rare.

The boy climbed straight to the sixth floor, passing by the game department on the way, and caught a glimpse of a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed female exchange student talking to her companion at the door.

"Stop talking!" The female student's expression was resolute for some reason.

"Minister, what will we do without you!" His companion's face was filled with sorrow.

"I'll have to leave eventually, so I'll be leaving the club to everyone from now on!"

"Minister, the game department can't do without you!"

"I am now just a wandering ghost, no longer qualified to lead everyone!"

"minister!"

The conversation was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere of farewell.

Are they rehearsing for a stage play again? These people.

Cheng Fei glanced at it, but didn't stop walking upstairs.

The boy reached the fifth floor and continued climbing the stairs leading to the rooftop. Along the way, he brushed past a group of girls, who stared at him with suppressed excitement.

He climbed to the rooftop and saw that the only door to the corridor research department was still standing there. The difference was that there was a cardboard box at the door with a conspicuous white paper pasted on it, which read "Application Form Submission Area" in marker.

Cheng Fei stepped forward and saw a considerable number of completed application forms scattered in the cardboard box. He didn't pay much attention to them and pushed the door open to enter.

In the familiar club activity room, two figures sat on steel pipe chairs.

The sweet girl with long coffee-colored hair looked up at him, tilted her head, and revealed her signature gentle and healing smile.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair looked down at her book without expression, and said in a cold voice without looking up, "There are application forms on the wall outside. Just fill them out and put them in the box. Don't come in."

"Is Senior Shen Xi a bit too cold to the freshmen?" The boy sat down next to her and took out various study materials.

The aloof girl glanced up at him and scoffed, "So it's Cheng Feiyu. I thought he'd lost himself in the adoration of his juniors and wouldn't be able to swim up."

"Not at all. Even the cutest junior can't compare to Senior Shen Xi in my heart." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"Disgusting, don't call me that." Shen Xi kicked him under the table.

"I still prefer Teacher Shen, Little Cutie, Princess, or Her Majesty the Empress? I knew you were a sentimental person." The boy smiled and nodded.

"Shut up." The aloof girl kicked him again without any politeness.

"Cheng Fei is really popular, isn't he? He must have been hit on by all sorts of female students these past few days, right?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and smiled.

“Nagasaki-senpai is an angel, and I came to Sakura Academy because of her.” The boy said in a high-pitched voice, then paused and sighed, “There are juniors who say that too, Nana, your popularity is no less than mine.”

"Nana is Cheng Fei's cat, she doesn't care what other people do." The sweet girl shook her head, her voice obedient and firm.

Shen Xi remained silent, her brows furrowed and her face filled with disgust.

"By the way, Nana, I have a serious question for you." Cheng Fei put down his pen.

"What does Master want to ask the cat?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, looking innocent and bewildered.

"Aiyi got into Yinghua, what's your opinion on that?" The boy asked nonchalantly.

"Hey, I heard that in order to see Cheng Fei, she's been studying late every day for the past year. She used to be very willful, but now she's working so hard that it's surprised everyone around her." Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip as she spoke thoughtfully.

"Yes, I was quite surprised too." The boy nodded tentatively.

"Cheng Fei saw her?" The sweet girl leaned forward, her brows furrowed with worry. "I didn't tell you beforehand because I thought it would be a surprise. Did the cat do something wrong?"

"I don't mean to blame you, but I feel it's more like a shock than a surprise." The boy sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"So what does Cheng Fei plan to do next? Kick her away?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

"Still considering it." Cheng Fei had a bit of a headache.

As the two talked to each other, a chill, even more biting than the cold air from the air conditioner, quietly spread from between them.

Shen Xi stared at the book without moving, her eyes slightly narrowed.

The boy shivered and quickly looked at her.

"Cheng Fei, what are you talking about with that vixen? Who is Ai Yi? I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself." The aloof girl took a deep breath, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna exchanged a glance.

"Sweetie, calm down. I was just about to tell you this." The boy held her small hand.

"Take your hand away. If you're going to explain, then hurry up." Shen Xi lowered her eyes.

“Okay, that’s what it is…” The boy’s expression hardened, and he released her.

Next, Cheng Fei roughly explained the situation regarding Kato Ai.

"Anyway, that's how it is. I had no choice back then. Who knew that this adopted sister of mine would get into Yinghua University so quickly within a year? Teacher Shen, you won't be angry, will you?" The boy looked at her with concern.

Nagasaki Asuna watched silently.

After the words were spoken, the air in the club activity room became silent.

"Cheng Fei, congratulations." Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief without looking up.

"What do you mean?" the boy asked cautiously.

"You've once again shattered my expectations of you when you were fooling around outside, you two-faced piece of trash!" The aloof girl looked up and glared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth as she spoke rapidly.

"Teacher Shen, I've already said I had no choice. No matter what I do outside, I truly love you. Don't you think my honesty proves my sincerity?" The boy said calmly.

"I can only tell that Cheng Feiyu's fickleness is beyond my imagination. Heaven knows how many girls outside are waiting to pounce on him because of you. He's always a womanizer!" The girl stared at him, even more annoyed.

"Your Majesty, she is the only one in this situation. It's purely a legacy of history. Believe me, and I will definitely keep my distance from her. Please forgive me with your magnanimous heart that embraces billions of dimensions!" The boy clasped his hands together with a snap.

"You did something wrong to me and now you're begging for my forgiveness? You despicable scoundrel! You sewer rat! You ungrateful and shameless wretch..." The girl cursed as she launched a barrage of attacks at him with her spotless uniform shoes.

After kicking her enough, the girl stopped, her flat chest rising and falling slightly as she calmed her breathing, and her expression returned to its usual indifference.

Nagasaki Asuna looked on in surprise, "Eh, he really calmed down after just a few kicks?"

"Her Majesty the Empress's magnanimity encompassing billions of dimensions is no joke, Nana," Cheng Fei said, deliberately lowering his voice.

Shen Xi glared at him with sharp eyes, "Shut up. Since you took the initiative to confess your crimes, I'll let it go for now and barely consider your future behavior. But if you dare to say one thing and do another and get entangled with those vixens outside, I really won't forgive you."

"Yes, please rest assured, Teacher Shen." The boy lowered his head honestly.

Just then, the door to the club activity room was suddenly pushed open, followed by an exaggerated laugh, "Hehe~ Did everyone miss me?"

Miriam swaggered in, looked at the three people staring at her, and put her hands on her hips.

"Didn't you graduate?" Shen Xi frowned, looking puzzled, as if she had seen something dirty that shouldn't exist.

"Hmph, I've already repeated a year, as you juniors know." The blonde, blue-eyed beauty raised her chin and patted her flat chest with a proud air.

870. The Corridor Research Department faces the crisis of being abolished.

"Senior, congratulations on successfully repeating a year." Cheng Fei thought for a moment, then clapped his hands in a serious manner.

If I remember correctly, it's not easy to repeat a year at Sakura Academy. Not only do you have to pay a hefty tuition fee, but spots are also very scarce. Only contestants of the caliber of British lesbians can be sure of success.

"Congratulations~" Nagasaki Asuna clapped her hands slightly.

"Same to you, same to you." Miriam happily pulled up a steel pipe chair and sat down directly opposite Shen Xi.

The aloof young woman with long, dark hair frowned slightly as she looked at the two people clapping on either side of her. A look of disgust crossed her face, as if she had suddenly realized she was in a mental hospital.

Not long after Miriam entered, faint conversations could be heard coming from outside the club activity room.

"Xiao Aiyi, do you want to join the Corridor Research Department?" Zhou Han's smiling voice came first.

"Yes, because my older brother and sister are both in this club..." came a delicate voice.

"Then why don't you just go in?"

"It seems to say here that we can't go in...?" The delicate voice was filled with confusion.

"Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. The application form is in the box... Well, you should be fine with this. Come on in."

Then the door was opened, and behind Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi, the petite and shy girl cautiously glanced into the room. Her eyes lit up when she saw Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna.

Shen Xi glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, her face cold, and repeated in an impatient tone, "There are application forms on the wall outside. Just fill them out and put them in the box. Don't come in."

"Us?" Zhou Han paused for a moment, then pointed to herself.

"The freshman behind you." Shen Xi's gaze passed right through the two of them without any politeness.

A chilling aura, as if keeping strangers away, spread out, causing Kato Ai outside the door to shiver.

“But she is…” Zhou Han glanced back, her round eyes blinking as she subtly cast an inquiring look at Cheng Fei.

Nagasaki Asuna gave Kato Ai a reassuring smile and then looked at Cheng Fei.

While resting her chin on her hand, looking bored, Miriam noticed Ai Kato's sweet features and her eyes lit up.

Cheng Fei coughed lightly and pointed to the door with utmost respect, saying, "Teacher Shen, let me introduce you. That's Ai Yi, the student I was just talking about."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a second.

"Oh." Shen Xi lowered her eyes to read her book, her tone flat. "Then you should leave too. The Corridor Research Department is not accepting new students now. See them out, Vice Minister."

"She's Nana's sister, after all. You don't have to be so cold to her, do you?" the boy said cautiously.

Shen Xi's eyes narrowed, and she looked up at him directly. "Cheng Fei, so now you think I'm cold?"

"No," the boy quickly shook his head. "Teacher Shen is the gentlest and most tolerant."

"Too many people want to join the Corridor Research Department. To maintain order, no new students are allowed to enter the club activity room for the next week, regardless of whose sister they are. This is a rule I just announced today. Any questions?" Shen Xi raised her chin and looked down at him with a superior air.

“No problem, I fully support Minister’s decision.” The boy nodded without hesitation.
