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

"Your shamelessness has once again exceeded my expectations. You sang so badly that you relied entirely on post-production, yet you still had the nerve to post it out." The girl rubbed her temples vigorously.

"I admit I'm not good at singing, but Teacher Shen, I think you completely don't understand parody and abstract art. If you don't understand, you can search for the original song on C station and listen to it. It's very impressive."

"No matter what kind of art you are, I'm telling you to post videos of yourself playing seriously to build up your popularity, not to act weird." Shen Xi glared at him fiercely.

"Haven't I built up any popularity yet?"

Where did you build up your popularity?

"The video has 330,000 views in just one day, and I've also gained several thousand followers. Am I holding the band back?" Out of modesty, Cheng Fei couldn't help but doubt himself.

"Otherwise what?" The girl glanced at him sideways.

"Teacher Shen, have the videos from the others been released too?"

"of course."

"Show me the link."

……

82. Shen Xi wants more views.

Cheng Fei first clicked on Ye Shuang's video.

The girl in the video is sitting behind a drum set and playing "Until the End of the World," the theme song of Slam Dunk, with great energy.

After the video started playing, intermittent comments appeared on the screen.

"A beautiful girl who plays the drums is a treasure."

"With good looks and decent skills, persistence will surely lead to success."

"White stockings are justice"

"Coach, I want to marry her."

The play count shows 43,500.

Next up is Lin Xuanqi's video.

Unlike Ye Shuang's side, Lin Xuanqi's side was filmed from a lower angle, so the performer's face could not be seen. The girl played the ending theme song of the movie version of Evangelion on the piano.

"This piano is huge!"

"Nice legs"

"That's strange, I was admiring art, so why did I stick out my tongue?"

"I want to be stepped on by pretty girls"

The comments are as shown above, and the video has been viewed over 38,000 times.

Cheng Fei finally clicked on Shen Xi's video.

The title is "Full version of violin solo 'Ode to Love'".

The video is shot from an angle focused on the bow and strings, making it almost impossible to see the person playing the violin.

"come on"

A lone comment floated by.

Cheng Fei glanced at the 730 views and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Xi gritted her teeth.

"No, I just suddenly thought of something happy."

The girl took a deep breath. "The problem lies with the people on this website."

"What's the problem?"

"Lack of appreciation skills."

"No way."

"Otherwise what? A video of someone who's tone-deaf and relies entirely on tuning for no reason has over 300,000 views." The girl almost gritted her teeth. "And in their videos, the people commenting don't care about the music at all; they're all just vulgar and obscene."

Cheng Fei shook his head at her, "Teacher Shen, it seems you have no idea about popular aesthetics. No wonder the songs you chose for the cultural festival weren't very good at the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

"The performers have to be handsome men and beautiful women, and the music has to be popular and catchy for people to watch the performance video. If you play something like 'Hymn of Love,' you'd be lucky to get 700 views."

"You think it's my problem?"

"To be honest, yes." Before the girl could kill with her gaze, Cheng Fei quickly added, "But I think that's also what makes you so adorable."

"Are you mocking me?" Shen Xi's expression was very unpleasant.

“Not at all, Professor Shen. It’s normal that you’re out of touch with reality and don’t understand these things. We can’t entirely blame you.” Cheng Fei carefully chose his words. “However, I still suggest that you learn more about the market, since it’s all for our great cause.”

Shen Xi stared at him suspiciously for a few seconds, then opened his video again and watched it with a forced look of disdain.

"Then tell me, how can I get as many views as you?" The girl frowned and pursed her lips.

"That's easy. Now go to the atrium, pose a few times, and let me take pictures of your legs. Add some nice background music and make it into a slideshow. Hundreds of thousands of views are no problem," Cheng Fei said seriously.

The girl gave him a disgusted look. "I asked what kind of music you're going to play, not what kind of shameless thing you're going to do."

"Many people would love to be shameless, but they don't even have the right to be." - Teacher Shen

"Get to the point, stop with the nonsense."

"It's actually very simple. Next time you shoot, try to include your face and legs in the shot, and just choose anime music," Cheng Fei said, stroking his chin.

"That's it?" The girl asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"If you were willing to wear white pantyhose, the number of views would be at least 50,000 more."

"Don't bring your filthy personal aesthetic into this."

"Teacher Shen, you're wrong again. My aesthetic sense in this area is quite mainstream."

"That means there's a problem with the public's aesthetic sense."

"Teacher Shen, is viewership more important now, or is public aesthetics more important?"

Cheng Fei's questioning silenced the girl, revealing an expression of "reason and emotion locked in a fierce struggle."

He thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, you can just take pictures however you like. I and the two of them, plus Nana, are enough for this."

Shen Xi glanced at him expressionlessly, "Why not have one more person help?"

"Because you are mine, I don't want other people staring at you."

The girl's face turned cold.

"Hiss..." Cheng Fei grimaced.

Shen Xi glared at him.

Just then, the door to the club activity room was pushed open.

Shen Xi lowered her eyes to read, her expression returning to blank.

Nagasaki Asuna and Ye Shuang walked in one after the other.

The former keenly noticed the boy's unusual behavior, tilted his head and blinked, "What's wrong with Cheng Fei's leg?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally kicked the corner of the table," Cheng Fei said, rubbing his mouth.

"Be more careful next time." Shen Xi glanced at him with a hint of sarcasm, then closed her book. "Now that everyone's here, let's continue practicing."

As for Lin Xuanqi, she was not treated like a human being as always.

……

After the club activities ended, Shen Xi, Nagasaki Asuna, Ye Shuang, and Cheng Fei walked out of the school together for the first time ever.

If charm could distort spacetime, then a black hole would probably have formed in the center of the four people, making it impossible for anyone passing by to escape their gaze.

Asuna Nagasaki and Ye Shuang stood close together, while Shen Xi, who didn't get along with them, walked alone on one side. Cheng Fei didn't dare to approach anyone.

"Shuangshuang, you play the drums so well, you must have practiced for many years, right?"

"It hasn't been that long, I only started learning in fifth grade. How long have you been learning bass?"

"About the same as you."

Asuna Nagasaki and Shizuka were having a routine, friendly exchange.

Cheng Fei coughed and joined the conversation, "By the way, Ye Shuang, why haven't I seen Xuan Qi with you these past two days? What's she been up to?"

"Go ask Miss about her own affairs," Ye Shuang said with a smile.

Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head casually, "Hey, Shuangshuang, you're usually inseparable from Lin, right? I haven't seen her for several days this time."

"Miss and I are sometimes apart, and I can't disclose that information, I'm sorry," Ye Shuang said with a warm smile.

"In that case, I won't ask anymore." Nagasaki Asuna nodded, seemingly understanding.

Shen Xi glanced at Cheng Fei, who was being brushed off, and sneered sarcastically, "He's still so concerned about her even after being dumped. He's really incorrigible."

“Teacher Shen, that’s not right. Even though we broke up, Xuanqi is still my best friend. It’s only natural that I care about her.” Cheng Fei glanced at Ye Shuang, then straightened his back and raised his head.

"That makes sense." Shen Xi's face turned cold in an instant, and she quickened her pace, as if she didn't want to say another word to him.

The girl walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, slammed the door shut, and disappeared into the traffic.

"Well then, see you next week." Ye Shuang ignored the scene, smiled and said goodbye to Nagasaki Asuna before getting into the black luxury car.

So only Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna were left standing on the roadside, facing the endless stream of cars.

"It seems Cheng Fei has upset Shen Xi again," the girl said with a smile.

"Knowing I was telling Ye Shuang, she still acted like this. What a petty woman." The boy gritted his teeth in resentment.

Asuna Nagasaki covered her mouth and burst out laughing as if she had heard a very funny joke. "So, what does Cheng Fei think?"

"What do you mean, how about it?"

"I'm wearing over-the-knee socks," the girl said, hiding her hands behind her back.

……

83. Miriam launches her operation.

Cheng Fei politely glanced at Nagasaki Asuna's shapely legs encased in black over-the-knee stockings; the height of her "absolute territory" was just right, making her even more eye-catching than in previous photos.

"very good."

"Just good?" The girl lightly tapped the ground with one toe, as if her brown school uniform shoes didn't fit quite right.

Out of instinct, Cheng Fei glanced at it again.

"very good."

"Compared to Shen Xi?"

"Neither is superior nor inferior."

"Do we absolutely have to split it?"

“Nana, there are some things in this world that can’t be compared, such as morning dew and sunset, or white clouds and flying birds. I think it’s enough to just appreciate them.” Cheng Fei said without looking at her.

"Alright, Cheng Fei really knows how to talk. I'll take it as a compliment." Nagasaki Asuna smiled.

"My car is here." Cheng Fei looked at the bus pulling into the station.

This time, he finally didn't have to wait until the very end.

"Goodbye, Cheng Fei."

"Goodbye."
