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

The boy paused for a second, then said, "I was really wrong. Actually, something unexpected happened last night, so I asked Nana to come over. It happened so suddenly that I didn't inform Teacher Shen. Please forgive me, Teacher Shen, as it's part of our date this week."

"Okay, then don't hang out with that vixen next week." The tone on the other end was flat.

"What do you mean?"

"You have ten minutes to go downstairs to that breakfast shop."

"Teacher Shen, you usually don't like having breakfast together, is this too deliberate?"

"This is an opportunity given to you out of kindness. I advise you to be careful, you piece of trash."

The words were spoken slowly and deliberately, and then the phone call ended.

"Cheng Fei, what's wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna seemed to have climbed ten floors in one go.

"She told us to come downstairs to the breakfast shop within ten minutes." The boy gently stroked the sweet girl's head.

“But the cat.” Nagasaki Asuna opened her mouth, a look of wistful anxiety appearing on her face.

"Let's hurry, she seems to have something to do." The boy thought for a moment.

Time zero, slowed down three times.

The sweet girl's pupils contracted, and she stared at the ceiling as if she had been struck by a heavy blow.

……

When Cheng Fei pulled Nagasaki Asuna into the familiar breakfast shop, Shen Xi had a bowl of sweetened eight-treasure porridge and red bean buns in front of her.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I am two minutes late. Please forgive me with your magnanimous heart that embraces billions of dimensions." The young man sat down and clasped his hands together.

The aloof girl, her face expressionless, was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of Nagasaki Asuna's attire out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened slightly, and her small face showed a shocked expression as if she had witnessed something heinous.

The sweet young girl pursed her lips, touched the front of her bra, and looked away.

The boy noticed this and his expression hardened. "Teacher Shen, calm down, have a red bean bun."

"Cheng Fei, Nagasaki Asuna... you are utterly hopeless!!!" He took a few deep breaths and finally blurted out the curse with unbearable frustration.

923. Shen Xi's latest research topic is

Three people sat together in a corner of a breakfast shop on Saturday.

"Teacher Shen, I'm sorry, please forgive my sins." Cheng Fei lowered his head and clasped his hands together with a devout feeling.

"Big sister, I'm sorry, please forgive my sins." Nagasaki Asuna imitated her.

Shen Xi sat upright, looking down at the two of them. Her eyelids twitched, and her stubborn, pink lips remained tightly closed.

A moment later, the aloof girl let out a soft breath, lowered her eyes, tucked her dark hair behind her ear, and lowered her head to eat her eight-treasure porridge.

"Teacher Shen, are you calm now?" Cheng Fei carefully observed that pretty yet cold little face.

Shen Xi glanced at him but didn't say anything; her expression was unreadable.

"Nana, it's alright now, let's eat." The boy breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the mung bean porridge that the shopkeeper had just brought over in front of Nagasaki Asuna.

"Okay." The sweet girl nodded obediently and lowered her head to drink her porridge with an honest demeanor.

Cheng Fei also picked up his own fried dough stick and took a bite. He felt the crispy texture and sighed contentedly.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and kicked him hard under the table with her uniform shoes.

"Teacher Shen, what's wrong now?" the boy asked, sounding aggrieved.

"You don't like me? You have a problem with that? Trash." The aloof girl glared at him fiercely.

"No." The boy shook his head decisively.

Shen Xi picked up another red bean bun and ate it, biting off a small corner. As she chewed, her fair and soft cheeks bulged slightly, and her indifferent expression made it seem as if she were chewing someone's flesh.

"Teacher Shen, so why are you in such a hurry to call me and Nana to meet?" Cheng Fei coughed lightly.

The aloof girl glanced at him, then continued eating her red bean bun as if nothing had happened, her voice cold and unwavering, "No particular reason, is that not allowed?"

“Of course.” The boy nodded immediately, continuing to observe her expression, rubbing his chin. “Even if you’re just in a bad mood, I have no objection, but I always feel that the usually rational Ms. Shen wouldn’t do something like this.”

Shen Xi sneered, "Cheng Feiyu is always the best at saying nice things."

"Not at all, just stating the facts," the boy said earnestly.

The aloof girl paused for a second, then frowned slightly and said softly, "I've decided to work on a project this weekend."

"I see. Which specific project? If I remember correctly, we have quite a few backlogged projects."

“A new topic.” Shen Xi looked at him, then glanced at Nagasaki Asuna beside her.

"Another new one? Okay, what do you want it to be?" Cheng Fei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded obediently.

"The content of this project is..." Shen Xi said, then suddenly stopped, looked away, and her face showed a hesitant and solemn complex expression, as if she were facing some major decision.

"Is that so?" The boy looked into her eyes.

Asuna Nagasaki seemed to sense something, and straightened her back, showing an attitude of listening attentively.

Shen Xi frowned, her expression gradually turning disgusted. She took a deep breath and turned her face away. "I suddenly think I should just forget it. It's a waste of time anyway, and it will only benefit this Cheng Feiyu in the end."

"No, Teacher Shen, tell me in detail!" The boy jumped up and quickly stepped over the table to grasp her slightly cool and soft hand. His tone was firm. "Just tell me what you need me to do. Don't hesitate. I will always protect you."

Shen Xi stared at him. "Hand."

"Sorry, I got too excited." Cheng Fei quickly let go of her.

Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and watched the two interact.

Under the boy's eager gaze, Shen Xi took another deep breath, stared at the wall beside her, and said coldly, "Haven't you always wanted the three of you to be together?"

"It's not that I've always wanted to, I just hope you can get along well with Nana..." The boy said shyly at first, then, noticing Shen Xi staring at him with sharp eyes, he pursed his lips. "Okay, I really do want to, forgive my insatiable greed, so what are your plans, Teacher Shen?"

"Trash." The aloof girl attacked him again with her uniform shoes, then paused, "This time I can barely satisfy you."

"What do you mean by 'satisfying' me?" the boy asked calmly.

"You're allowed to bring your vixen on a date to this week's meeting," Shen Xi said casually, continuing to eat her red bean bun.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna asked in confusion.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "Is it a routine meeting or a date?"

"For me it's a routine meeting, for her it's a date, can't you understand?" Shen Xi was unhappy and kicked him.

"So, you can hold hands and hug Teacher Shen, and you can also be with Nana, right?" the boy gestured.

“Eh~ So this is considered…” Nagasaki Asuna suddenly realized.

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Fei covered her mouth and solemnly warned her, "Nana, be careful what you say."

The sweet girl nodded quickly.

The aloof girl chewed on her red bean bun, ignoring the two's subtle actions, and seemed extremely unwilling. "You could say that."

"I understand, but what exactly is Teacher Shen going to do? Didn't she always strictly prohibit physical contact even when the three of us were together?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

Shen Xi raised her head and looked into the infinitely distant void, her small face showing a complex expression of making a great sacrifice. "This is necessary to complete the project."

"So what exactly is the topic? Please explain clearly, Professor Shen." The boy seemed tired.

"Did I not explain clearly just now?" The aloof girl frowned, puzzled.

"It's more accurate to say that nothing was said at all." The boy murmured in silence.

Shen Xi took another deep breath, this time scanning the breakfast shop to make sure no one was paying attention. Her eyes flickered, and her stubborn pink lips parted slightly. "This time, the project is to observe Cheng Feiyu's process of enhancing the fox spirit's perception."

After saying that, she shut her mouth and went to eat her red bean bun.

Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna were both stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Teacher Shen, just to be on the safe side, let me ask you one more question, so you want to see…” The boy hesitated.

"What's the problem?" Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.

"No problem, but I didn't expect you to suddenly go all out. I'm a little unaccustomed to it." The boy looked her up and down, feeling incredulous.

"Shut up. If I could, I wouldn't want to see such disgusting things that make me want to vomit, but it's necessary. Rather than listening to your vague explanations, I'd rather confirm it with my own eyes." Shen Xi gritted her teeth, a little annoyed.

"I admire Professor Shen's selfless dedication to scientific research." The young man bowed respectfully.

"Besides, it's also because it's impossible to get rid of this vixen now. Cheng Feiyu must have been fantasizing about this for a long time. In addition, your recent performance has been quite satisfactory, so we're just barely satisfying you." The aloof girl said through gritted teeth.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Shen. But to be honest, I'm not so bored as to expect you to witness my date with Nana. Ms. Shen has too many stereotypes about me." The boy shook his head and sighed.

Shen Xi glanced at him coldly, her tone becoming indifferent, "Oh, fine, anyway, I don't want to encounter the same disgusting thing as a vixen anytime soon."

The boy realized something, his whole body trembled, and he quickly picked up a piece of fried dough stick and put it into her eight-treasure porridge. "Teacher Shen, I was really wrong. It was wrong of me to use such a despicable and narrow-minded way of thinking to speculate about your broad mind that can accommodate billions of dimensions."

The aloof girl's pupils contracted as she watched his movements, her slender body trembled, and she could no longer bear it. "Trash, get your filth away!"

The busy shop owners turned around when they heard the girl's cursing, but after thinking for a moment, they pretended nothing had happened.

After ordering Cheng Fei to take back the fried dough sticks soaked in eight-treasure porridge and eat them himself, Shen Xi barely managed to calm down.

"What? This is pretty delicious." The boy smacked his lips and muttered.

"Everything tastes good to a sewer rat, of course." The aloof girl glared at him without any politeness.

"Yes, after all, Teacher Shen is such a principled and adorable person." The boy nodded in agreement.

"So, you two have decided? We're going on a date together?" Nagasaki Asuna, who had been watching the whole thing, asked nonchalantly.

"It's a routine meeting for Teacher Shen, but a date for you," Cheng Fei said meticulously.

The sweet girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Trash, you haven't finished yet. Everything is predicated on you promising one thing first." Shen Xi kicked Cheng Fei.

“Okay, please go ahead.” The boy gestured for him to continue.

"Do exactly what you did to that vixen before, and don't miss a thing. If you take advantage of her and then try to fool me, I will never forgive you." The aloof girl stared at him, her small face serious.

"I understand. Teacher Shen is being so generous as a condition for our exchange, but if I may be frank, even if I do it all over again, you won't notice anything. Don't blame me then," the boy said cautiously.

It would be a miracle if she could figure out how the system draws the lottery.

"The outcome is none of your business. What you need to do is be honest and not lie to me. Call my name now and I promise." The aloof girl remained unmoved.

"I promise I won't lie to you, Shen Xi, is this alright?" The boy looked at her with a helpless expression and smiled.

"Barely acceptable, then it's decided." The aloof girl lowered her eyes, as if she had lost interest in the topic.

"So, when should we start? The project." Nagasaki Asuna pursed her lips, her eyes darting around.

"So even a shameless vixen can be shy?" Shen Xi glanced at her subtle expression and sneered.

"Teacher Shen, Nana is the type who's fine when she's being proactive, but gets shy when she's being passive," Cheng Fei coughed.

"Who gave you permission to speak?" The aloof girl narrowed her eyes.

"Wrong." The boy zipped up his mouth. "Then let's not delay any longer, how about we go back and start the project now?"

"You can't even dream about it until night? Doesn't Cheng Feiyu have any common sense? Go online and participate in combat operations during the day." Shen Xi glared at him again.

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback, then realized she was referring to losing motivation while raiding the Corridor with other guilds. "Whatever makes you happy, sigh, you internet addict."

"Bring your helmet over if you really want to stick it to your feet," Shen Xi added, looking away with disdain.

"Then I'll go back and get it later, and then I'll go to your place." The boy regained his motivation and quickly finished off the fried dough sticks.

"I'll go with Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna also quickly finished her mung bean porridge.

"Go back and change your clothes. I find you disgusting, you vixen." Shen Xi glared at her.

"Huh?" The sweet girl remained calm. "You can change when you get back..."

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to by following me. If you're so shameless, then stop now and don't let it affect tonight's research." Shen Xi said sternly.

"Don't worry, Teacher Shen, it won't have any impact. You know my physical condition," Cheng Fei said, patting his chest.

The aloof girl turned around and stared at him without saying a word.

The boy coughed lightly. "Nana, I think Teacher Shen is right. The most important thing right now is to make sure that tonight's topic goes perfectly. Besides, Teacher Shen is already like this, so don't try anything funny to upset her."

"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes flickered, and she responded obediently.
