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

The light turned green, and Cheng Fei drove forward while glancing at her out of the corner of his eye. "Teacher Shen, are you angry?"

Still no response.

"Little cutie, I was just kidding. Of course I'll confess my feelings to you publicly, and it's okay if you reject me then. I'll continue to be there for you until you believe that even though I have Nana and Master Ye, I'm still completely devoted to you." The boy said seriously.

"Cheng Fei." The girl sighed softly and uttered two words in a low voice.

"what?"

"Stop the car." The girl's voice was icy.

"Are you really angry?" the boy asked in surprise. "It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Pull over, quick." The girl took a deep breath, her flat chest heaving violently, as if she was enduring something.

"Okay, don't rush." ​​The boy had no choice but to nod and look for an opportunity to change lanes to the side of the road.

Soon, the sharply angled Lamborghini stopped by the roadside, immediately attracting a lot of attention. Of course, due to the privacy film, no one could see what was inside the car.

The aloof young woman in the passenger seat unbuckled her seatbelt expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, you're not going down, are you?" the boy asked cautiously.

Shen Xi lowered her eyes, her stubborn lips tightly closed, ignoring him. She simply used her small hands to support herself on the center console and leaned her upper body in front of him.

Those pure, ink-black eyes stared at him intently, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Teacher Shen?" Because they were so close, Cheng Fei could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her mouth and nose.

The girl grabbed his shoulder, tilted her head and leaned down, getting close to his neck, like an intimate interaction between lovers, or like a vampire enjoying food.

The boy first felt a pleasant, cool, and moist sensation, but the next second that sensation turned into a stinging pain.

"Hiss... Teacher Shen?!" The boy gasped, letting the girl bite his trapezius muscle without moving.

The enchanting yet unsettling atmosphere lasted for several seconds before the girl slowly stepped back and wiped her pink lips with the back of her hand.

The boy looked down to examine the small, neat teeth mark and found that it was even slightly bleeding. He looked at the culprit with surprise and doubt, "Little cutie, this time you've gone too far?"

“Cheng Feiyu deserved it.” Shen Xi gritted her teeth and glared at him without any politeness.

"I was just joking, nothing serious happened, right?" the boy said, looking wronged.

"It was one thing to spout nonsense before, but now you've made me do so many disgusting things. I've already said our relationship is beyond repair, and I will never forgive anyone who dares to betray me." The girl's tone was resentful and fierce. "Don't think you can say such disappointing and crazy things under the guise of joking. If you dare to do this again, I will not be polite!"

"Is this considered polite?" The boy glanced at the gleaming teeth marks on his neck and shuddered.

"Cheng Feiyu, stop pretending. This kind of minor injury will heal overnight anyway." The girl's sharp gaze pierced him.

"Even if it heals quickly, it's not good if people can see the marks, right?"

"It would be even better if we were seen!" Shen Xi sneered heavily.

"Teacher Shen, you clearly want to assert your ownership, but you absolutely refuse to agree to date me. Don't you think this self-compulsive mental state is really too abnormal?" The boy looked at her with incomprehension.

"Shut up! Whose fault is it that you're always so fickle and can't even have a normal relationship? Cheng Feiyu, if you have any principles, then honestly keep your promises and stop disappointing people!" The girl was even more annoyed.

"After all that talk, you still want me to confess publicly, Ms. Shen, just how arrogant are you?!" The boy suddenly realized, and was shocked.

The girl raised her voice without backing down, "I've already said no one cares about a public confession. Is Cheng Feiyu's brain really that hard to understand? Get this straight, the promise you're supposed to keep is to serve me obediently as a servant for the rest of your life!"

"Teacher Shen, if you want me to stay with you for life, why don't you just say so? Don't you think it's too deliberate to keep using this excuse?!"

"Shut up! I'd be crazy to expect a Cheng Feiyu, who swims around in the sewers all day and can't be seen, to accompany me for the rest of my life!"

"So you're also bothered that I haven't been spending enough time with you lately? I was just a bit confused because of the recent breakup, so I wasn't in the mood. If you want me to spend time with you, just say so and I'll definitely do it!"

"Shut up! I don't know what the point is of having Cheng Feiyu, that half-dead guy from the supermarket's fresh produce section who's floating on water and blowing bubbles because there's no oxygen, come and keep you company!"

"So just because I just broke up and couldn't spend enough time with you, you secretly sulked for days, and then you tried to bite my neck as a joke?!"

"You utterly rebellious trash! Dare to utter another word?!"

Amidst a series of increasingly loud but otherwise unintelligible conversations, the Lamborghini started up again, merged back into traffic, and disappeared into the crowd of onlookers.

The two arrived at the Geological Research Institute in Academy City and met with the researcher they had met before.

The other party handed a brown paper bag to the two of them. "This is it. The archives were moved, so we couldn't find it last time. We found it by following the number you gave us. This is a photocopy, but please be careful not to leak it."

"Thank you, this is really important to us." Cheng Fei opened it, checked it, and nodded solemnly to the other party.

Shen Xi, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"It's nothing," the researcher waved his hand.

……

Back in the car, Cheng Fei immediately began browsing the files he had just received.

"Research on the development mechanism of ice caves in the Cape of Hope area..." The boy read out the first item on the list.

The two had been unable to find any details about the Antarctic expedition that Lin Wanqing had participated in, and they couldn't find any information on the DeepBlue intranet either. Fortunately, Tang Yu helped them out, and now they have finally recovered the lost files.

On the surface, this was a scientific expedition with a clear objective and a detailed plan, as normal as could be.

Shen Xi watched him expressionlessly from the side.

"Little cutie, do you have a goal now?" The boy waved the file and smiled at her.

"So what should we do?" Shen Xi's gaze shifted.

“Of course, we personally went to investigate the places they visited back then.” Cheng Fei patted the file in his hand.

"So in the end, we still have to go all out on our own, and the people from Deep Blue can't help us." The girl lowered her eyes.

"Not at all. You wouldn't find this place without Tang Yu, would you? Besides, the foundation gives us a monthly allowance so we can buy you ice cream." The boy said seriously.

Shen Xi ignored his words, picked up the file and quickly browsed through it, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Hope Corner... what is this place?"

"It's roughly located on the Antarctic Peninsula, which is part of the Antarctic continent, but it's a temperate, peripheral region, so it's good news," Cheng Fei said while looking up information on his phone.

"When are we going?" the girl asked without hesitation.

"Don't rush, it's only mid-October now. Summer in Antarctica is in December, which is just enough time for us to prepare." The young man gently patted her head.

"Understood." Shen Xi returned the file to him.

"Since things have come to this, I might as well go home." Cheng Fei packed his things, his mood was simple, and started the car.

The girl in the passenger seat fastened her seatbelt, felt the seat back push her forward, and her eyes flickered. "Trash, let me ask you a question."

"Huh?" The boy glanced at her.

"Were you behind Lin Xuanqi's affair?" the girl asked thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Stop pretending." The girl stared at him, her confident expression as if she could see right through him.

"Teacher Shen, what are you talking about?" The boy was completely confused.

"Is it unrelated to you that Lin Xuanqi suddenly lost billions in investments?" The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

The atmosphere in the car was deathly silent for a second.

The boy looked genuinely surprised. "Teacher Shen, you mocked her like that in front of her, and then you doubted me like this in front of me. You're not only sharp-tongued, but also incredibly suspicious."

"Stop talking nonsense. She's never had this problem before. I can't think of any other reason besides you messing around." The girl glared at him.

"How could I possibly do something like this? I wouldn't take away her luck, would I? She just had a stroke of bad luck, so don't overthink it, thank you." The boy mourned silently.

"Alright, then call me by my name and tell me this has nothing to do with you." The girl nodded casually.

The boy choked up.

The girl tilted her head to observe his expression, then flicked her hair. "Heh, as expected, Cheng Feiyu's acting is terrible."

"Shen Xi, I think your use of safe words like this really betrays my trust in you, don't you think?" The boy's expression turned serious.

"I'll ask you one more question," the girl said softly.

"Completely ignoring me?"

"Can't you do the same thing to me, like taking my head away?" The girl looked directly into his eyes.

"Don't you think the idea of ​​taking away the head is a bit too spooky?" the boy smacked his lips.

"Answer the question." The girl stared intently at him, her face showing little unease, as if she were asking a trivial question.

"Do you even need to ask? Even if I could do it, I wouldn't do it to you, Shen Xi." The boy said helplessly.

"I understand." The girl lowered her eyes and looked away.

"Sigh, he's a bit too perceptive," the boy muttered to himself.

The girl ignored him, and the atmosphere in the car fell silent.

After a moment, Shen Xi spoke again, still expressionless, "Trash, let me remind you of something."

"What?" The boy turned his head slightly.

"We haven't had a regular meeting for half a month since the long holiday started." The girl tossed her hair, not even looking at him, her pretty face cold. "Of course, I don't care. If you don't want to have one, you can never have one."

894. Shen Xi didn't want to go on a date either, so she had to figure it out.

Cheng Fei hesitated, then said, "Teacher Shen."

"What?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and stared ahead.

"What's the difference between you saying this and just saying you haven't held hands or hugged properly for half a month and now really want to go on a date?" the boy asked sincerely.

"..." The girl remained expressionless and refused to look at him, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

"Is the thinking module stuck?"

"Cheng Fei." The girl took a deep breath and spoke softly.

"what?"

"Go back." The girl's face showed no emotion, as if she were simply giving an order.

"So eager to get into bed and stick to me? That's so cute. I was thinking of going for a walk outside with you, but okay, now it's time..." the boy said in a relaxed tone.

"Shut up." The girl took another deep breath, her voice soft yet authoritative.

The boy continued, "Feeling too ashamed that I said it? Teacher Shen, don't you think being so arrogant now seems a bit forced? Just like you know me well, I know you very well too. My little darling may be as tough as a knife, but she's actually soft and clingy at heart. There's no point in hiding this, is there? How about..."

"Cheng Fei!" The girl suddenly raised her voice to interrupt him, her teeth clenched.

"Huh?" The boy shuddered.

The girl took a deep breath and blurted out in one breath, "A meeting is a meeting, not a date! Get this straight, I've been talking about a meeting from beginning to end. Don't think that you can replace these two words by persistently using misleading language. A madman can say a trillion times and it will still be a madman. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we agreed on a weekly meeting from the beginning. It's one thing for Cheng Feiyu to add shameless demands like holding hands and hugging to satisfy his filthy desires, but to skip the meeting for half a month because of someone like Lin, committing a huge mistake without reflecting on his actions, and daring to misinterpret my meaning, does aquatic mammal really have no basic human morality and never feel remorse?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of the vehicle moving echoing in the background.

The girl in the passenger seat glared at Cheng Fei with burning anger, her flat chest rising and falling slightly as she stared out the window.

The boy was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly. "Teacher Shen is right to reprimand me. I admit that I didn't attend the regular meeting with Teacher Shen for half a month. My behavior was indeed very bad. I have let down Teacher Shen's expectations and trust. Now that Teacher Shen is kindly reminding me, I still say some nonsensical nonsense, which only makes my crime worse. Teacher Shen can punish me however you want. I just hope that Teacher Shen can calm down. It would be bad for your health if you get angry."

Shen Xi glanced at him, her small face still cold. "I have no interest in punishment. If you really know you were wrong, then remember it and don't make the same mistake again. Also, correct your mistake and answer what I just said."

"No, no, although I am very touched by Teacher Shen's gentleness and tolerance, punishment is still necessary no matter what. Please don't be so polite, Teacher Shen." The boy said seriously.

"I'm not interested in talking about it." The girl turned her face away.

"This won't do. Teacher Shen, you should punish him no matter what," the boy coaxed patiently.

“Punishing the shameless Cheng Feiyu is pointless. The important thing is to understand this and not repeat the mistake.” The girl narrowed her eyes and emphasized her tone.

"How could that be? Being punished by Teacher Shen will leave a deeper impression on me and help me correct my mistakes in the future, so let's punish him after all?" The boy was as eager as a middle-aged man vying to pay the bill at a dinner table.

"I said I'm not interested, and that's it! What exactly does Cheng Feiyu want?!" The girl became annoyed, then thought for a moment, suddenly shivered, and her face turned disgusted. "Could it be that he's awakened some shady fetish again and is trying to take advantage of me to satisfy it?"

"Teacher Shen, you've misunderstood. I'm not that perverted." The boy paused, then continued nonchalantly, "If Teacher Shen really finds it too troublesome, how about this: we'll use Teacher Shen's small and soft..."

Shen Xi suddenly realized what he meant, covered her chest with her hands, and shrank back towards the car door to get away from him. Her brows furrowed as she glared at him, "Shut up! You're just putting on an act, but you're thinking about this disgusting stuff again. You nauseating piece of trash!"

"Teacher Shen, I clearly made a sincere self-criticism and apologized after realizing my mistake, but I was misunderstood like this. I'm very hurt too." The boy covered his chest with a serious expression.

"That's enough, Cheng Feiyu, stop pretending, or I'll really throw up!" The girl also covered her mouth in a serious manner.

"Alright." The boy sighed and nodded reluctantly. He paused, then became serious. "By the way, there's a vomit bag on your back. If you feel like throwing up, remember to take it out beforehand. Don't throw up in the car."
