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

In front of the two, Cheng Fei, Zhou Han, and Ruan Jingyi all seemed listless.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zhou Han covered her mouth and yawned, her usually energetic eyes now sleepy.

Chen Hao was immediately horrified, and he put his fingers in his mouth and gasped for breath.

"What's with that look? We're playing games together in the Corridor Research Department, right, Cheng Fei?" The petite girl gave a disdainful snort and looked at the boy beside her.

Cheng Fei nodded tentatively.

"What? It's just a game." Chen Hao became disdainful, then put his arm around Du Xinhua's shoulder, his eyebrows dancing with excitement. "Speaking of which, we've been seriously studying the Corridor lately, and we've already broken through to the second level of the dungeon. How about we team up next time?"

"Second floor? Good food, forget it." Zhou Han shook his head without hesitation.

"You?! Fortune changes every thirty years, we'll see!" Chen Hao retorted angrily.

As the group chatted as usual, a familiar figure sat down not far from them with a tray of food.

Lin Xuanqi kept her head down and ate her food, expressionless, and showed no intention of coming over to talk to her.

Chen Hao, who wanted to say something more, was suddenly silenced as if someone had grabbed his neck.

Zhou Han's expression also tightened, and she quietly moved closer to Ruan Jingyi, distancing herself from Cheng Fei.

In this atmosphere, the small group, having filled their stomachs, returned to the classroom and dispersed for obvious reasons.

The boy continued working at his seat.

Lin Xuanqi turned around, first leaning on the edge of his table and looking at him, and after a moment, she placed something in front of the boy.

"Cheng Fei, here, have this." The arrogant girl's face held a hint of probing.

The boy looked up and saw that she had placed a carton of yogurt in front of him, probably bought from the school store.

The boy frowned slightly and looked the girl over.

"You don't like it?" Lin Xuanqi said softly, a look of reminiscence on her face. "I remember you had a lot of yogurt in your fridge, right?"

The boy paused for a second, then said coldly and without emotion, "That's because Shen Xi bought it; she likes it."

Lin Xuanqi's eyes widened slightly, and she froze for a moment. The rare bit of vitality that had returned to her brows dissipated, and something trembling silently brewed in her eyes.

She silently got up, threw the yogurt into the trash can at the back of the classroom, returned to her original spot, continued to lie on the edge of the boy's desk, swallowed hard with red eyes, and stared blankly into space.

In the distance, Zhou Han quietly watched this scene, then leaned close to her best friend sitting next to her and whispered, "Ruan Jingyi, I feel so good right now."

The quiet girl glanced at her seemingly nonchalant yet barely concealed excitement, and hesitated to speak.

Lin Xuanqi stared at the boy's face, her gaze shifting slowly as if she were carefully observing something. Her tone became concerned, "Cheng Fei, you have dark circles under your eyes today. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"None of your business." The boy said without looking up.

"If you're tired, how about I... give you a shoulder massage?" The arrogant girl gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, but still said it, as if she were stepping over a high hurdle.

The boy looked up at her, his expression suspicious.

Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered for a moment, then she continued looking at him and said, "I'm serious, I actually learned some massage techniques yesterday..."

"Miss Lin, have you taken the wrong medicine?" the young man interrupted her.

The haughty girl opened her mouth, and the tears that had just subsided in her eyes began to tremble again. She bit her rosy lips tightly. "You used to massage me often, so I thought..."

She choked up, covered her mouth, and couldn't continue.

"Lin Xuanqi, I advise you to be normal." The boy lowered his head and continued doing his homework.

The girl sobbed, buried her face in her arms, and stopped moving.

On the other side, in the distance, Chen Hao put potato chips in his mouth and covered his mouth as he said, "Hey, what do you think they're talking about? They started crying again after only a few words."

"Who knows? Don't be too obvious, or you might not be able to come to school again tomorrow," Du Xinhua said while playing a mobile game.

"I know, I'm being very careful." Chen Hao continued eating his potato chips, glancing at that corner out of the corner of his eye as if he were a spy monitoring enemy activity.

A moment later, Lin Xuanqi raised her head again, resting it on her arm as she looked at the boy. "Cheng Fei, I want to talk to you."

The boy remained silent and did not look at her.

“I know you don’t want to talk to me, but I… I just like you.” The girl gazed deeply into his eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. “I dream about our past every night, and I really think we were happy back then.”

The boy's pen moved swiftly, as if being chased by something, making a rapid rustling sound.

"Even if you hate me, I don't care. I just want to be with you like that for the rest of my life." The girl seemed to be talking to herself, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Miss Lin, if you want to write in your diary, go home and write it. Don't read it aloud in front of me." The boy's tone was irritated.

Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained unmoved. "Cheng Fei, I've made up my mind."

She leaned forward, bringing herself closer to the boy, tilting her head to enter his field of vision. She took a deep breath, revealing a serious expression as if she were about to make a declaration, and parted her lips slightly, "I like you, I want to pursue you, just like you pursued me before. As long as you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll do anything."

"Cheng Fei, I want to be yours, yours..." Her voice trailed off, her tone faltered, and her expression became strained, as if she were desperately fighting against something.

“I refuse, thank you.” The boy interrupted her directly, his expression nonchalant.

Lin Xuanqi's expression froze as she tried to speak. She stared blankly at him, opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

……

in the afternoon.

Cheng Fei climbed to the rooftop of the club activity building and pushed open the only door.

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna were already sitting inside; the two girls, each with their own unique charm, were a feast for the eyes.

"Good afternoon, both of you." The young man sat down to the side of Shen Xi and opposite Nagasaki Asuna.

"Good afternoon, Cheng Fei~" The sweet girl who was looking at her phone looked up and smiled affectionately.

"You're not chatting with that Elise, are you?" The boy glanced at her phone.

"Hmm~ Shen Xi asked me to ask her for information, and she was quite cooperative." Nagasaki Asuna nodded obediently.

"You are truly guilty of grave sins," Cheng Fei sighed, shaking his head.

920. RealTech successfully secured funding.

"If Cheng Fei doesn't like it, I'll delete her right away." Nagasaki Asuna picked up her phone, looking serious.

"Since it's Her Majesty the Empress's order, just carry it out," the boy said seriously.

"Pretentious Cheng Feiyu." Shen Xi, engrossed in her book, scoffed.

"Teacher Shen, we finally managed to get the three of us together, so please stop with the sarcastic remarks." The boy sighed, taking out various books and books to read.

The aloof girl ignored him.

Asuna Nagasaki smiled, resting her chin on her hands, her fair and shapely legs gently swaying under the table where they couldn't be seen.

The atmosphere in the three-person room, where they had recently gathered for a rare occasion, became quiet for a moment.

"Now explain," Shen Xi suddenly said coldly.

"Explain what?" Cheng Fei asked nonchalantly.

"What was that vixen thing about yesterday?" The aloof girl looked up and glanced at the two of them, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

Nagasaki Asuna remained silent, her bright eyes fixed on Cheng Fei.

The boy coughed lightly. "Teacher Shen, are you curious about Nana's new ability? As you can see, it is indeed very powerful."

"I asked what happened." Shen Xi glared at him.

“Nana has a long history as a nanny and has a wealth of combat experience,” the boy said slowly.

"Don't ramble on any more." Shen Xi's eyes narrowed, and he struck him with his black uniform shoes hidden under the table.

"It's a secret, so please don't ask, Teacher Shen?" The boy lowered his head in a second.

The aloof girl narrowed her eyes at him, shifted her gaze, and said in the same tone, "Vixen."

"Eh, me?" Nagasaki Asuna asked blankly.

"Explain clearly how you did it yesterday." Shen Xi's tone left no room for argument.

"This." The sweet girl hesitated for a moment, then looked at the boy opposite her for help.

"Nana, just answer truthfully." Cheng Fei looked like he was focused on doing his homework.

Nagasaki Asuna then looked at Shen Xi, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, actually I'm not too sure either. It's just that Cheng Fei told me that humming a song would have a wide-area effect, so I did it?"

Shen Xi became suspicious. "What did he tell you to hum?"

“The Akatsuki car was my own decision,” Nagasaki Asuna said immediately.

What is the Akatsuki-no-Kara?

"An insert song from Gundam SEED?"

Why this one?

"More fitting for the occasion?"

"To suit the occasion?"

"Hmm, is that not allowed?"

"Is there no other reason?"

"Nothing."

The two stared at each other, Shen Xi frowning in confusion, while Nagasaki Asuna looked completely at ease.

Shen Xi paused for a second, then took out her phone.

"Teacher Shen, what are you going to do?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

"Listen to her talk about the Akatsuki first." The aloof girl looked displeased.

"As expected of Teacher Shen, he's so meticulous." The boy nodded in understanding.

Soon, Shen Xi played the song that Nagasaki Asuna had mentioned, which, unsurprisingly, had nothing special about it.

"So you can turn a single-target heal into a group heal just by humming a song?" Shen Xi stared at the sweet girl.

Asuna Nagasaki nodded obediently.

"No other equipment to assist?"

This time, as he shook his head, his coffee-colored sideburns swayed along with it.

"So this is a special ability." Shen Xi thought for a moment, "Didn't it exist before?"

"I don't think so, although I've never tried it before?" The sweet girl tilted her head.

Shen Xi then turned her questioning gaze to Cheng Fei.

"Teacher Shen, don't look at me, I have nothing to say." The boy didn't even look up, raising one hand in surrender.

Shen Xi looked serious and fell into deep thought.

Asuna Nagasaki rested her chin on her hands, waiting for her to continue.

"So this ability appeared at the same time as your enhanced perception?" The aloof girl realized something.

"I don't know about that." The sweet girl blinked.

"What exactly did he do to you?" Shen Xi pinched her brow and took a deep breath, feeling utterly perplexed.

"Teacher Shen already knows, it's just something to be happy about." Nagasaki Asuna said, her eyes darting around, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Why doesn't Teacher Shen try it herself?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you shameless vixen." Shen Xi glared at her without any politeness.

"I meant well," the sweet girl muttered, puffing out one cheek.

Under the table, something small and soft quietly slipped off the brown uniform shoes and draped them over the boy opposite, swaying gently as its limpid eyes gazed at him.

Cheng Fei was focused on the task at hand, seemingly oblivious to everything.

Shen Xi was lost in thought, stroking her chin.

As the atmosphere quieted down again, Nagasaki Asuna seemed to sense something, glanced at the door of the club activity room, and quietly withdrew her foot.

"Cheng Fei," the sweet-voiced girl said softly.
