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

"sorry."

"Ugh...?!"

So when the sweet girl showed an expression of sudden embarrassment and desperately covered her face, the aloof girl kneeling down let out a soft snort.

She then adjusted her position, moving directly in front of the boy. She slowly placed her hands on either side of her head, raised her index and middle fingers, tilted her head, and her beautiful face remained expressionless. Her pure, dark eyes blinked quietly as if observing his reaction.

It seems like a casual movement, like an inorganic, translucent glass object, even carrying a hint of dislike, yet exuding a captivating charm that makes it impossible to look away.

Asuna Nagasaki stared at the ceiling, her pupils contracting, her mouth slightly open but unable to utter a sound, even her breathing seemed to stop.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The first thing Cheng Fei did when he opened his eyes was not to admire the aloof girl who had half-buried her face in the blanket like a small animal, as he had done last time, but to look at Nagasaki Asuna on the other side.

The sweet girl with long coffee-colored hair nestled close to him, her eyelashes trembling with her breath, and faint tear stains remained on her gentle and healing face.

Because she did something excessive at Shen Xi's instigation, Nagasaki Asuna cried loudly after the meeting, shouting things like "How could Cheng Fei bully Nana like this? Are we going to throw the cat aside for the sake of Yukito?" Under Shen Xi's annoyed yet gloating gaze, she was held in his arms and it took a lot of effort to comfort her.

Sure enough, behind the innocent and cute face of the Protoss Queen was a succubus who was not only good at bewitching people, but also had a wicked nature.

The boy thought to himself.

After confirming that Nagasaki Asuna was sleeping peacefully, Cheng Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking it best to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

The so-called "having both women on the left and right" may not be an easy thing, and the young man was keenly aware of this.

He used his breath to conceal himself as he left the room and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The boy had just breathed a sigh of relief when a familiar cold voice rang out, "As expected of a sewer rat, its specialty is sneaking away right under people's noses."

Shen Xi walked in and looked up at him expressionlessly.

The boy was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Teacher Shen, you're awake but you're still pretending to be asleep? Your tricks are getting more and more sophisticated."

"Nonsense! I just wanted to see what tricks Cheng Feiyu would pull this morning, but I didn't expect him to slink away like this." The girl glared at him and then sneered.

"Not at all, I just felt that whatever I did would offend you two, so I simply went downstairs earlier to buy you breakfast." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"I'll let your guilty conscience's excuses slide." Shen Xi kicked him, walked over with a cold expression, and washed up with him.

The boy admired his delicate little face in the mirror, only to be glared at fiercely the next second.

"Trash, staring at me even while I'm washing my face, I can't understand why she's so obsessed?"

"Teacher Shen, you clearly know how adorable you are in my eyes, don't you? Sure enough, every word and action of yours is carefully designed?"

"I've said it a trillion times, and this is how I am. Your vixen is the one who schemes every word and action, and yet you're still bewitched by her. You foolish aquatic mammal." The girl was even more disdainful.

"Teacher Shen, you made Nana cry yesterday. Now, who's really the more scheming one?"

"Stop slandering me. The vixen's tears have nothing to do with me. It was Cheng Feiyu who couldn't resist the temptation. It seems that the so-called self-control of a self-proclaimed realist is nothing more than this." Shen Xi sneered as if recalling something amusing.

"Thank you for being a strong realist." The boy's rebuttal lacked any force for the first time.

The girl responded with a sneer, raising her chin in the mirror, her small face displaying a victor's smugness.

"Teacher Shen, you really are a succubus, aren't you?" the boy couldn't help but mutter.

"Shut up and hurry up and finish combing my hair." The girl kicked him again.

"Yes," the boy sighed.

Afterwards, she stood behind Shen Xi in front of the mirror and combed her hair as instructed.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair remained expressionless and motionless, simply looking at the boy through the mirror. When he looked at her, she subtly looked away.

After the boy finished his work, she lowered her eyes and said, "Oh, right, remind Cheng Feiyu of something."

"Speaking?"

"We didn't hug even once yesterday, nor did we do any of those dirty things." The girl narrowed her eyes, seemingly displeased.

The boy remained silent for a second.

Yesterday, because Nagasaki Asuna was crying so hard, after comforting her, Shen Xi announced the end of the meeting with extreme impatience and then lay down first, ordering the boy to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

He hesitated, then said, "Sweetie, so you were actually looking forward to it yesterday? You could have just said it directly. I thought you were upset about it..."

"Stop daydreaming. Nobody here is expecting you." The girl kicked him hard to interrupt him, then glared at him fiercely, her teeth clenched. "You always try to take advantage of me whenever you get the chance, but yesterday you did nothing to comfort that vixen. You used to say you were interested in me anytime, but you're just a hypocritical aquatic mammal!"

"That's too much, little cutie. I already said I thought you were in a bad mood. Of course, it's true that I'm interested in you anytime. By the way, isn't it still meeting time? If you don't believe me, please don't move." As the boy spoke, he tentatively placed his hand on her shoulder to make sure she was just staring at him without any resistance. He then pulled her into his arms, hugging her slender body and long, silky black hair tightly.

"Trash, anyway, we don't have time now, so there's no need to pretend!" The girl raised her voice, her face down, as if she was even more unhappy, and kicked him very hard.

"At least there's still some time, as long as Teacher Shen is willing?" The boy pressed down on her shoulder, observing her small face with its furrowed brows.

Although it was Monday, he had some time to spare because he got up early.

"Sorry, I don't want to, I refuse!" The girl turned her face away without any politeness, staring at the wall as if there was something hateful on it.

"Teacher Shen, please don't do this, I beg you."

"Heh, keep pretending." She still didn't look at him, her voice was cold, but it sounded a bit muffled.

"Without any pretense, Teacher Shen is so incredibly cute, the most adorable girl in the entire universe. Just looking at her is enough to make my heart flutter?" The boy peeked into her field of vision.

"Sweet talk is fine all the time!" She turned her face to the other side, seemingly even more unhappy.

"If Teacher Shen is willing, can you directly provide proof?" He peeked out again.

"I said I didn't want to, disgusting!" Then she turned her head away.

"Then what should we do, little cutie?" The boy said helplessly.

The girl squinted, turning her face to him with only her cheek turned to the side, her stubborn pink lips tightly closed, as if she were really angry.

The two remained locked in this stalemate for a moment.

Shen Xi glanced at the boy who was staring intently at her out of the corner of her eye, her eyes flickered, but her cold voice remained unchanged, "Does Cheng Feiyu really want to prove that?"

"Really, I humbly beg Your Highness, the cutest princess in the multiverse, to give me another chance," the boy said with utmost sincerity.

The girl took a deep breath, her face still cold. "Fine, since I'll reluctantly agree to this, go to the sofa. Within ten minutes, I want to see Cheng Feiyu's true feelings."

944. Just the three of them in the morning.

So, in the cool and quiet morning air, the aloof girl with long, dark hair sat cross-legged in the boy's lap, her small hands climbing up his back, burying her face near his neck so that her expression was hidden, her snow-white, rounded knees pressed tightly together.

"Teacher Shen, it's not that the skirt is so inconvenient." The boy admired her slender and graceful figure.

The girl, who had just woken up, was still dressed in her pajamas—short sleeves and shorts—and looked incredibly cute.

"It's already very short, isn't that enough to satisfy Cheng Feiyu?" The girl made no attempt to hide her disgust.

"I want to be closer to Her Highness the Princess." The boy buried his head in her thick hair, which exuded a faint fragrance.

"Disgusting." The girl punched his shoulder.

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to prove it in ten minutes, wouldn't it?" The boy moved toward her plump and voluptuous figure.

"A filthy and vulgar aquatic mammal." The girl gripped his shoulder tightly, as if she were having an internal struggle.

After a moment, she shifted her position, adjusted herself, took a deep breath, and, still with her face buried in her hands, asked with a strained tone, "Are you satisfied with this?"

"Teacher Shen, this white one with lace is so cute! Did you prepare it especially to seduce me?"

"Dare to utter another word of nonsense over there?!" He suddenly became furious.

"Wrong."

"I'm doing this out of kindness, so if you're grateful, let's finish this quickly." This time, she simply moved her face to his shoulder and left a row of small, neat teeth marks on it with just the right amount of pressure.

"Oops, I was really wrong, Teacher Shen."

"Then hurry up, and if you dare to make a mess, you're dead." This time, the voice was raised as a warning.

"If you're worried, just do it all... Ouch, Teacher Shen, why do you bite people so easily?"

"Cheng Feiyu is still daydreaming over there, pushing his luck."

"I just want to be closer to Her Highness the Princess. Couldn't we do that at the love hotel before?"

"Make sure that's under the premise that it's unseen!"

"Understood. The majesty of the Celestial Queen cannot be disrespected, so neither her smile nor any other aspect of her appearance can be viewed."

"If you know the answer, then stop talking nonsense."

"Can I promise I won't watch it now?"

"Don't dream. First of all, I'm not stupid enough to believe that Cheng Feiyu has such self-awareness. Secondly, who knows if you'll be driven mad by your beastly nature and do something heinous."

"That's an exaggeration. Teacher Shen is so cute in my arms every day, like a little animal. If I wanted to, I would have had countless opportunities to make my move, wouldn't I?"

"What did you say?!"

Never mind what I said.

"Sure enough, you got a little advantage and started getting cocky, actually saying such treasonous things. You ungrateful piece of trash, let me go!"

"No, Teacher Shen!"

"And let's get this straight: in the past, you were only allowed to touch me once a week at most during a routine meeting. There's no one here who's in your arms every day!"

"Yes, yes, Ms. Shen, please don't get excited. Could you please rewind the conversation we just had so we can get back to the main topic?"

"Then hurry up, you have five minutes and forty-seven seconds left."

"While it's impressive that Professor Shen has an atomic clock built into his brain, could you please not be so strict?"

"As expected, I promised to prove my sincerity within ten minutes, but now I can't do it!"

"Teacher Shen, rationally speaking, it hadn't even officially started yet, right? Please reset the timer, I'm begging you."

"..."

"Teacher Shen."

"Okay, then let's start again for ten minutes from now."

"Okay, can we switch to Snow Rabbit mode?"

"No."

"Why? It was fine yesterday."

"No means no!"

"Then the cute mode will do, thank you."

"Even more impossible!"

"Teacher Shen, why are you so strict? I know you're the gentlest and most understanding person, please help me."

"Trash, now it's your turn to prove your sincerity. I can't help you!"

"Okay, then at least I want to see Teacher Shen's great little face."

"..."

"Teacher Shen."

"Got it? Are you satisfied?"

"Even when she glares at me with disdain, she's still cute."

"Shut up, if you want to watch, then watch and hurry up and finish."

"Teacher Shen."

"What's wrong now?"

"Why on earth is it an 'easy delivery' type? That's just too unfair!"

"Sure enough, he said he cares about looks, but then he started paying attention to those kinds of places. Hopeless!!!"

"Hiss, Teacher Shen!"

On the thirty-sixth floor in the early morning, such a conversation drifted out of the window and disappeared into the first rays of autumn sunlight in Academy City.
