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

"Don't think I don't know why Cheng Feiyu wants to take a bath," the girl said again, her expression as she stared at the wall was hard to decipher—it was neither disgust nor anything else.

"Okay, I was just too bored." The boy could only lower his head.

The girl looked up at him again, bit her lip, and fell silent, as if she were engaged in some kind of internal struggle.

"What is Teacher Shen thinking about?" The boy looked at the cold little face that seemed to be facing some kind of problem.

The girl completely ignored him, her lips tightly closed, her eyes flickering, and her expression becoming increasingly inscrutable.

After a brief silence, the girl took a deep breath, moved slightly to reduce the pressure on him, loosened his towel, and returned to her original position.

Under the boy's gaze, she slowly adjusted the hem of her school uniform skirt, transforming it into a dark blue flower that bloomed and covered the area where she was sitting.

The boy raised an eyebrow and noticed that the girl's fair earlobe, hidden among her thick hair, was stained with an unusual red color.

Shen Xi rested her head near his shoulder and nuzzled him, as if trying to hide her face in his blind spot so that he wouldn't see it. She held his arm tightly with her small hands.

Hidden beneath the flowing skirt, in a place where no one could see, the girl carefully changed her posture, first separating her snow-white, rounded knees, then tightly bringing them together again.

As everything was adjusted according to her will, it was as if delicate pink snowflakes from early spring were quietly falling, and everything was so beautiful that it transcended the boundaries of words.

The girl took a deep breath, her expression hardening, her body trembling violently. Her legs curled up even more, her small, soft body wriggling, her uneasy demeanor giving off a feeling of sitting on pins and needles when she was completely unprepared.

Cheng Fei realized something, his whole body stiffened, and his gaze swept over the girl who was nestled in his arms.

It's like something's missing from her.

Since she came directly from school, the girl's outfit was nothing special. She wore a white school uniform shirt with a blue tie, a navy blue pleated skirt that reached her knees, and white ankle socks that were a simple style made of soft and delicate material, without any extra decorations such as lace.

Everything looked normal on the surface. If it weren't for the lingering moisture on her neck, there would be no indication that she had taken a shower and put the clothes back on.

However, something has indeed disappeared from this aloof girl who is no different from usual, and the boy is now quite certain of this.

In a subtle, unspoken atmosphere, the air in the room fell into a deathly silence.

Once Shen Xi calmed down, the girl looked up and glared at the boy with a fierce expression of anger at his lack of self-control, gritting her teeth, "Anyway, Cheng Feiyu's purpose in taking a bath was to make me like this, are you satisfied now?"

"Shen Xi, you're going too far." The boy didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Shut up, and stay still." The girl's tone was commanding.

"Okay." The boy nodded earnestly, looking at the dignified little face.

The girl suddenly trembled, barely able to contain herself, "Cheng Fei!"

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong. It was beyond my control just now. I promise I won't do anything rash again." The boy said with a determined look.

"An aquatic mammal with a rudimentary brain." The girl grew increasingly annoyed, took a deep breath, and managed to calm herself down.

The boy subtly changed the subject, "So, what does Teacher Shen want to talk about?"

"I don't know, is Cheng Feiyu going to leave everything to me?" The girl twisted her legs unhappily.

"Wrong." The boy stiffened for a moment, then became serious. "Then I have a question."

"What?" The girl glanced at him briefly, then rested her face near his collarbone.

"Is this also part of Teacher Shen's training of me?" The boy hugged her tighter, making her turn closer to him.

The girl fell silent, then simply turned her head and buried her face in his chest, so that he could not see her expression at all. She spoke in a muffled voice, "Trash, get this straight, it's all because of you."

"Even a pure, intelligent, and virtuous lady like Teacher Shen could be defiled?" the boy asked curiously, as if it were a serious matter.

The girl punched his shoulder, her face buried in her hands, and whispered with even more displeasure, "It's one thing to ask when you already know the answer, but you disgusting Cheng Feiyu, you know I'm a lady and yet you keep doing outrageous things to me, you shameless and despicable scoundrel."

"Yes, it's all my fault for turning the ladylike Ms. Shen into this." The boy said in a submissive tone.

"Trash, don't think I don't know that constantly emphasizing that I'm a lady is part of Cheng Feiyu's filthy fantasies." The girl punched him again, her sharp gaze giving the feeling that she could see right through him, even though the girl kept her head down and didn't move at all.

"Teacher Shen is so adorable for knowing this and actively cooperating with me!" the boy wondered.

"So it's the foolish Cheng Feiyu who deliberately catered to you. And it's also a fact that I'm a pure, intelligent, and virtuous lady. That's just how I am." Normally, the girl would probably raise her chin and toss her hair without any guilt, but at this moment she kept her face down, as if she didn't want the boy to see her expression at all.

"Yes, yes, my princess is indeed perfect." The young man could only nod, while also trying to appreciate her delicate and beautiful work of art.

The girl trembled slightly, keeping her head buried in his chest and motionless. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Trash, so I'm warning you."

"what?"

"You've defiled me like this, but if you ever dare to betray me, I'll definitely kill you." The girl's muffled voice was utterly threatening.

"I know. Of course I will take responsibility for defiling such a pure and innocent teacher as Ms. Shen. Don't worry." The young man gently patted her back with a sense of relief.

The girl remained silent.

"So, Mr. Shen's plan for today is to chat with me like this?" The boy pondered for a moment.

"Cheng Feiyu, are you still not satisfied?" The girl looked up at him, narrowing her eyes.

"No, I'm very satisfied." The boy quickly shook his head, searching in his mind for topics to satisfy her desires.

"Trash, I have questions for you too." The girl spoke first, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Please go on, Teacher Shen." The boy quickly looked into those pure, dark eyes.

"Does Cheng Feiyu think I'm short?" The girl raised her chin, seemingly displeased.

The boy was taken aback. "What are you talking about? Generally speaking, Teacher Shen is of above-average height, right?"

"Then why are you so insistent on calling me 'little cutie'? What are you trying to say?" The girl's eyes flickered, and a strange sense of displeasure was building up in them.

The boy stared at her for a second, then his expression hardened. "Teacher Shen, please don't misunderstand. First of all, I absolutely did not mean to imply anything about your figure. Please don't overthink it."

The girl took a deep breath, as if suppressing her anger, "Then explain clearly what you mean by 'cute'."

"Is this really a question that needs explaining?" the boy asked, hesitating to finish his sentence.

"How am I supposed to know what Cheng Feiyu is trying to say if you don't explain it clearly?" the girl glared at him.

Is it that you genuinely don't know, or are you asking a question you already know the answer to?

The boy held back and didn't say anything.

One of the rules for getting along with the Protoss Queen is that you can be exposed by her, but you should never expose her.

"Okay, haven't I mentioned this before? Humans on Earth tend to treat people they like like small animals; this feeling is innate." The boy coughed lightly and became serious.

"So this is why Cheng Feiyu keeps trying to label me with titles like 'cute little animal'?" The girl stared into his eyes, unmoved.

"Teacher Shen doesn't believe me?" The boy looked directly at her. "It's the truth. In my eyes, Teacher Shen is like a small animal like a snow rabbit every day. She's tiny and cute in every detail."

The girl met his gaze for a moment, then subtly turned her face away, saying, "An utterly absurd theory."

897. The question about grouper and snow hare

“It’s absolutely true. I have no reason to lie to Teacher Shen about something like this, do I have to use safe words for her to believe me?” Cheng Fei said sincerely.

Shen Xi stared at the wall in silence for a moment, then softened her tone, "Fine, I'll reluctantly believe you, but just get the facts straight, I'm a year older than you. This way of coaxing a child only disgusts me."

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Shen is like an older sister. Even when I call Teacher Shen 'Little Cutie,' I won't forget that." The boy nodded repeatedly with a perfunctory yet doting tone.

"If you really remember, then straighten your attitude." The girl twisted her legs as a warning.

The boy stiffened for a moment, then hugged her slender body tightly.

"Trash, I told you not to move." The girl trembled slightly, biting her lip as she glared at him.

"I was wrong, but please don't do anything rash, Teacher Shen, otherwise something truly unavoidable might happen." The boy's feelings were complicated.

"Stop talking nonsense and continue." The girl buried her face in his chest again.

"Continue what?" The boy didn't react for a moment.

"Let's continue chatting." The girl put one arm around his neck, her voice muffled.

"Okay, so Teacher Shen really likes this?" The boy sensed her affection and realized something.

"Stop talking nonsense. We've already satisfied Cheng Feiyu to the maximum extent possible and allowed so many things. If you're still not satisfied, you might as well die." The girl punched his shoulder.

"So that's how it is for today's date? Then I won't be polite." The young man became even more unrestrained in enjoying her plumpness and slender beauty, not even letting go of the small, soft flesh within reach of her curled-up calves.

"I told you it was a regular meeting, not a date," Shen Xi emphasized, her face buried in her hands and her chest heaving with each breath, remaining perfectly still.

"Understood, it's a regular meeting specifically for chatting. Let's continue with the topic we were on." Cheng Fei pondered seriously for a moment, realizing that it was necessary to find more topics, preferably so that he could chat with the girl in his arms all night long. "Teacher Shen, don't you think that your tendency to always treat me like a grouper is actually a similar mentality? Although groupers don't seem to be very cute."

Shen Xi paused for a moment, her tone devoid of any emotion, "Nonsense, I was talking about Cheng Feiyu, I never talked about grouper."

"Well, although, didn't you start calling me that after you caught a grouper?" the boy recalled.

"That doesn't matter. A grouper is a grouper, and a flying fish is a flying fish. They are two different creatures. Don't you understand?" The girl with her face down emphasized her tone, as if she were correcting some rigorous academic question.

"Okay, you're right." The boy hesitated for a moment, then finally lowered his head.

"Besides, as I mentioned before, the flying fish is a type of rodent that has adapted to life in the sewers. Essentially, it's a mouse. To draw a comparison, it's like a whale. Both are mammals that have re-entered the ocean with their new habitats. They are completely different from groupers. How could they be the same thing? They can't even figure out their own species. They are indeed low-brained aquatic mammals." The girl's disdainful tone was quite serious.

The boy opened his mouth, feeling somewhat hopeless about the increasingly perfected setting she was describing.

In comparison, it seems that calling herself a snow rabbit was already quite restrained, right?

The boy realized this.

Just as he was speechless and about to start a new topic, suddenly, the aloof girl who was nestled in his arms with her head turned to the side and her face buried in her hands let out a soft "pfft," as if she was suppressing a laugh.

Her laughter was soft, lasting only a moment, clear and fleeting like a silver bell, like the sound of a bicycle bell suddenly passing by on a quiet concrete road on a distant summer day. Even if the memory fades, it is still clear and unforgettable.

"Teacher Shen! Are you hiding over there laughing again?" The boy was suspicious and grabbed her arm, trying to get her to show her face.

The girl struggled briefly but failed to resist. She gritted her teeth and glared at him, her fierce little face devoid of any smile. "Is Cheng Feiyu hallucinating again? Nobody here is laughing!"

"It's obvious! Why won't you admit it?" The boy stared intently at her.

"I said no, and that's it! Stop fantasizing, Cheng Feiyu!" The girl's face tightened. "I was just explaining Cheng Feiyu's biological classification; I don't know what's so funny about it!"

"You clearly find this funny, so what's wrong with just laughing it off?" The boy was on the verge of exasperation. "Does it mean that if your Protoss Queen is seen laughing at this, it will summon the Order to destroy the world?"

"First of all, I said I didn't laugh, and that's it!" The girl's face was full of unwavering certainty, her chin held high and she showed no weakness. "Secondly, doesn't Cheng Feiyu also have a bunch of secrets he's hiding from me? In comparison, who's more outrageous?"

"It's okay to laugh just because it's a trivial thing. You're deliberately trying to confuse people like this." The boy was shocked by her logic.

"No one here is trying to mislead us. I wasn't laughing at all. I just said this to make it easier for Cheng Feiyu's stupid brain to understand the situation!" the girl said confidently.

The boy looked at that stubborn little face and didn't know what to say. As if realizing that he was helpless, he sighed dejectedly, "Okay, but I still think that Teacher Shen treating me like a grouper is a way of showing that he likes me, just like how I feel about Teacher Shen being a small animal."

"I already said that Cheng Feiyu and the grouper are not the same creature at all. Is Cheng Feiyu's memory really that bad?" The girl glared at him.

"Where did you say that? Teacher Shen, you're the one who's hallucinating, aren't you?" the boy asked, feigning seriousness.

The girl's brows furrowed, her face contorted in disbelief. "Has Cheng Feiyu completely gone mad?"

"Teacher Shen, before you doubted me, didn't you ever doubt yourself?" The boy's sharp gaze pierced her pure, dark eyes.

The girl took a deep breath, a little annoyed, and said, word by word, "I've already explained it very clearly. Cheng Feiyu is a type of rodent that has adapted to aquatic life in sewers. To draw an analogy, it's like whales, which adapt to their living environment..."

The girl was speaking in a serious tone when suddenly her lips twitched, and a clear laugh escaped her throat. Her expression changed, and she quickly shut her mouth.

Before she could raise her small hand, the boy grabbed her arm with lightning speed, leaving her completely exposed to face him.

The girl's eyes flickered, and she remained silent, her face hardening.

The boy leaned close to her, meeting her gaze into her pure, dark eyes, and inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her breath. "Why did you stop talking, Professor Shen, the biologist? It all depends on the living environment..."

The girl revealed a subtle expression she never showed before. She took a deep breath to calm herself and continued speaking as if to prove something, "They are all mammals that have re-entered the ocean due to their new habitat..."

As she spoke, the boy looked into her eyes and smiled.

The girl stared at him, her lips twitching again. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, not in anger, but more like Nagasaki Asuna's eyes curving into crescents when she was happy. Her fair and soft cheeks puffed out slightly, and after holding it in for less than a second, she burst out laughing.

Her clear, melodious laughter was completely different from her usual sarcastic demeanor; it was a genuine, happy smile.

"Teacher Shen, aren't you smiling? Why won't you admit it?" The boy stared at the beautiful little face that was smiling.

"I wasn't laughing! Trash! Let me go! I order you to let me go!" The girl's lips twitched as she desperately struggled to break free from his grip, climbing her arms up the back of his neck and burying her face near his shoulder.

Then, the girl, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips, opened her mouth and bit down fiercely.

"Hiss... Teacher Shen?!" The boy gasped.

The girl persisted, like a hungry vampire seizing an innocent human.

After a sudden and prolonged silence, Shen Xi finally raised her head, her small face turning cold again. She glared at him defiantly, "Insubordinate trash, this is the consequence of overstepping your bounds!"

The boy looked down and saw the clearly visible small teeth mark, and grimaced, "You were the one who made a joke about yourself, and you're blaming me?"
