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

"Yes, yes, whatever makes you happy," the boy replied perfunctorily.

"So how did your conversation go?" The haughty girl bit off a small piece of her pineapple bun, her brows furrowing slightly as she chewed, staring at the boy.

"Go ask her yourself, I can't be bothered to explain it to you," the boy said bluntly.

"Why are you being so fierce? You clearly care about me, why do you have to act like this? If you want to teach me a lesson, you can talk to me nicely. When have I ever stopped you from teaching me a lesson?" The girl swallowed the bread in her mouth with great difficulty, then took another small bite and continued to stare at the boy.

Cheng Fei stopped writing, looked up, and said, "Is your hysteria getting worse? You should go see a psychiatrist as soon as possible; nobody here cares about you."

"Really nobody's here? Then what's this?" Lin Xuanqi waved the pineapple bun in front of him.

"Ye Shuang forced me to give it to you. Do you think I wanted to bring it?" the boy said without a hint of guilt.

"Cheng Fei, you lied to me again. Don't you ever get nervous when you lie?" The arrogant girl leaned closer to him, their eyes meeting, as if trying to see right through him.

"You're crazy." The boy said impatiently, lowering his head to continue with his own work.

"I don't like pineapple buns, Xiaoshuang knows that, she won't buy them for me." Lin Xuanqi said slowly, taking another bite of the bread in her hand, chewing very slowly, as if she was finding it hard to swallow, or as if she was savoring it carefully.

957. Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi switch roles.

The bell rang for the end of the last get out of class in the afternoon, and Cheng Fei packed up his things and got up.

"Honey, are you going to the club?" Lin Xuanqi also got up, her cheerful tone unchanged since noon.

"None of your business." The boy said expressionlessly, moving towards the classroom exit.

Lin Xuanqi immediately followed, her hands carrying a shoulder bag behind her back, and her graceful legs, encased in thin black pantyhose, seemed to exude a sense of pleasure as she took her steps.

"What are you doing?" The boy walked out of the classroom and looked back at her.

"I didn't do anything?" The haughty girl blinked, her charming face displaying an innocent expression.

"Tsk." The boy walked forward with a displeased expression.

Lin Xuanqi smiled and continued to follow him.

"To tell you the truth, Ye Shuang insisted that I go buy you food, so I only took a pineapple bun, and she paid for it." The boy looked straight ahead, his tone unwavering.

"Okay, honey, I know, honey." Lin Xuanqi nodded with a smile.

"Don't give me that grin." The boy was even more annoyed.

Lin Xuanqi's expression hardened, and she pursed her lips.

"And there's no one here who's your husband." The boy frowned.

Lin Xuanqi didn't say anything, just nodded.

When Cheng Fei got down to the first floor, he walked along the corridor leading to the club activity building and found that she was still following behind him.

"What exactly do you want?" The boy stopped and looked down at her.

"I'm going to sit in the research department in the corridor for a while, what's wrong?" Lin Xuanqi looked up at him, as if nothing was wrong.

"Didn't you already leave the club?" the boy said irritably.

"Just because I left the club doesn't mean I can't go back. Maybe I'll rejoin someday." Lin Xuanqi raised her chin and pouted.

The boy stared at her for a second, then gave up on saying anything and continued walking forward.

"If you don't want me to go, that's fine too. Just call me 'wife,' and I'll do whatever you say. How about it?" The girl followed him again, a curious smile playing on her lips.

"Daydreaming." The boy looked ahead. "I'm warning you, if you dare to upset Shen Xi, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Oh!" The girl paused for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and glared at him, her deliberate response sounding like a protest. She then looked at the ginkgo leaves in the courtyard, her eyes slightly red, and muttered in a muffled voice, "You really do put her first."

The boy merely glanced at her out of the corner of his eye before looking away without responding.

The two climbed to the sixth floor, where Cheng Fei pushed open the only door to the rooftop.

Shen Xi sat upright in the steel tube chair as usual, reading a book, exuding a kind of detached and beautiful aura.

Asuna Nagasaki sat to her side, engrossed in her own tasks.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Shen and Nana." The boy sat down next to the two of them as usual.

"Good afternoon, Cheng Fei~" Nagasaki Asuna gave a signature gentle and healing smile, then looked at Lin Xuanqi who appeared behind her, her clear and bright eyes blinking.

It's worth mentioning that her fair and shapely legs under the table were also clad in black over-the-knee stockings. Because her skirt was two inches shorter, her exposed thighs were even more dazzling than Shen Xi's.

Lin Xuanqi looked at the three of them for a moment, then silently sat down at a distance.

As Cheng Fei laid out various research materials, no one spoke in the club activity room, and the atmosphere fell into a subtle silence, broken only by the rapid scratching of the boy's pen on the paper.

After a moment, Nagasaki Asuna tentatively asked, "Um, am I redundant today?"

"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Stop being so presumptuous, you vixen."

Cheng Fei and Shen Xi spoke at the same time, and their eyes met briefly.

"Understood." Nagasaki Asuna pursed her lips slightly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips, and turned her attention back to her own business.

Lin Xuanqi observed the three of them without saying a word.

Shen Xi closed the book, stared blankly at the wall, and said coldly, "So, you came here to meet me, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly."

The boy next to him raised an eyebrow but didn't offer any opinion.

Lin Xuanqi's gaze swept quickly across unrelated places, her expression becoming complicated. She took a deep breath, her tone deliberately suppressed and calm, "I've made up my mind. I'm returning Cheng Fei to you."

"Give it back to me?" Shen Xi scoffed, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"Well, you probably think it's pointless for me to say this now." Lin Xuanqi nodded slightly, then paused. "It was wrong of me to take him away from you back then. I thought... never mind, anyway, you used to get angry at me because of misunderstandings about the Lin family's past. Now you've investigated and found out the truth, so let's call it even, okay?"

"They really know how to bargain." Shen Xi sneered as she stared at Cheng Fei.

"Teacher Shen, why are you looking at me like that?" the boy asked, looking completely at ease.

"Whether you accept it or not is up to you. You've already won anyway, so the decision is in your hands." Lin Xuanqi swallowed hard, looking at the table, feeling a lump in her throat.

"It's really not easy to finally have some self-awareness after so long." Shen Xi remained noncommittal.

Lin Xuanqi turned her face away from her and remained silent.

Asuna Nagasaki looked around, then tapped her chin with her fingertip. "I'll make some tea for you all."

"Nana, my troubles are a bit more serious," Cheng Fei said calmly.

"Yes~" the sweet girl said in a drawn-out, obedient tone.

This made Shen Xi unhappy.

"Teacher Shen, why are you glaring at me?" the boy asked, looking wronged.

"Any objections?" The aloof girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

"No." The boy lowered his head without hesitation and then began to write furiously.

"Shen Xi, I only have one request now," Lin Xuanqi said again.

"What are your requirements?" The aloof girl lowered her eyes.

"I want to stay with Cheng Fei," Lin Xuanqi said softly.

“Daydreaming.” Shen Xi replied without hesitation.

“I didn’t mean to steal him, I just want him to be with me like before, you can think of it as…” Lin Xuanqi paused, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, as if she was having trouble saying it, “When I was his girlfriend before, you two were often together, weren’t you? Now that you’re his girlfriend, let me be with him too, how about it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room fell into a new kind of deathly silence.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna, who was holding a kettle, turned around and made a hesitant sound.

Shen Xi first stared at the arrogant girl, her brows furrowed, then suddenly realized something. Her sharp gaze turned to the boy beside her, and she kicked him angrily, "Trash! Have you already discussed this with her?"

"In all honesty, this has nothing to do with me." The boy suddenly raised one hand. "I already scolded her before, but it was no use. Besides, this is all your fault, Teacher Shen."

"What does this have to do with me? You're shirking responsibility again!" Shen Xi gritted her teeth, a little annoyed.

"Did you leak the news yesterday, causing her to eavesdrop? Was it intentional or accidental?" The boy tried to find clues in that cold little face, but unsurprisingly failed.

"Nonsense! How would I know she would do something like this? And ultimately, isn't the whole problem your wavering stance, Cheng Feiyu?!" Shen Xi glared at him fiercely and attacked him under the table.

"Isn't my wavering stance all your fault? You're the one who taught me not to be so despicable. What can I do to her besides cursing her a couple of times?" the boy said righteously.

"Heh, now you're really listening to me. You weren't this obedient when you were scheming all over there." The girl gritted her teeth.

“Teacher Shen, I’ve called you ‘teacher’ for so long, and I’ve been influenced by your character and example to some extent. There’s an old saying that a teacher for a day is a father for life, so please also have some awareness of your role as my mother…”

"Shut up, when did you start spouting this nonsense?"

After being rudely interrupted by the girl, the boy zipped up his mouth, looked at the documents in front of him, and remained silent.

Lin Xuanqi looked at the two who had suddenly started arguing and then suddenly calmed down, pursed her lips and lowered her head until Shen Xi spoke to her again.

The aloof young woman said coldly, "You surnamed Lin, what makes you think I should agree to your request? I despise shameless people like you the most..."

"Shen Xi, please have some tea." Nagasaki Asuna suddenly placed a steaming teacup in front of her with an innocent smile.

The aloof young woman paused, her delicate brows furrowing as she stared at Lin Xuanqi. "In short, I can't find a reason to agree to your request."

"Please, I'm begging you..." Lin Xuanqi said with difficulty.

"Oh," Shen Xi replied coldly. "You really think you have a lot of influence? You think you can just accept my request after I begged you?"

"Then what else do you want from me? You've already won and you're still not satisfied. Do you have to be so aggressive?" Lin Xuanqi stared at her intently, a sense of helplessness on her face.

Nagasaki Asuna placed the tea in front of each person in turn and then sat back down in her original seat.

In the rising steam, the chill of late autumn was kept out of the room, and Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi fell into a long, drawn-out stare.

Lin Xuanqi suddenly remembered that autumn evening last year, when the aloof girl stared at her intently, her voice chillingly cold, "You really are as... wicked as ever."

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Her eyes flickered, and she looked away as if avoiding something.

"This tea is so bitter, Nana. What do you think would happen if we added some sugar?" Cheng Fei smacked his lips after taking a sip of tea.

"Um, I'm not quite sure." Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin lightly with her fingertip, hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a submissive tone, "Should I go to the school gate to buy it now?"

"No need for that, it was just a casual remark." The young man quickly shook his head and continued drinking his tea.

Shen Xi suddenly closed the book in her hand, packed her things, and said in a cold, emotionless voice, "You vixen, let's go back."

"Huh, now?" Nagasaki Asuna paused for a moment, then looked at Cheng Fei, and nodded, "Okay."

Once she was ready, Shen Xi got up to leave. As she passed behind the boy, she paused, tilted her head, and looked down at him. "Cheng Fei."

"Please go on, Teacher Shen," the boy said respectfully.

"Pour out the tea and lock the door before you leave." The aloof girl's expression remained enigmatic.

"OK?"

“There’s more.” Shen Xi stared at him.

"besides?"

"Take care of yourself."

After saying those words, she didn't linger.

"Cheng Fei, I'll head back now too?" Nagasaki Asuna waved goodbye before following closely behind.

Although the steam from the tea was still wafting around, the club activity room suddenly became quiet and cold.

Lin Xuanqi thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Honey, what does she mean?"

"How should I know?" the boy said irritably, not even looking at her as he drank his tea. Then he grinned and said, "Tsk, so bitter."

Whether Nagasaki Asuna was simply following his instructions or doing it on purpose, that is the question.

Lin Xuanqi also took a sip of tea, slowly surveyed everything in the room, and then lowered her head and pursed her lips.

On the other side, Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna walked into the corridor and saw a person standing with his back against the wall, his hands behind his back and his head down, looking like he had done something wrong and was being punished.

"What's Shuangshuang doing here?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head curiously.

Ye Shuang's gaze swept over Shen Xi's cold face, and she asked with concern, "Why did you come out? Where are Cheng Fei and Miss?"
