The first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. He reached into the blankets and felt around, but there was nothing there except himself.

"It's impossible after all..." the boy muttered as he sat up.

The room's occupant was still lying peacefully in bed, so quiet that you couldn't even hear him breathing.

Cheng Fei got dressed and walked to the bedside to observe the girl who was sleeping with her back to the window.

A ray of morning light shone through the white curtains, passing through Shen Xi's thick, ink-black hair and gently caressing her delicate profile.

Even when she was asleep, the girl's face still exuded a strong sense of aloofness. Her beautiful features were as delicate as crystal glass, making her all the more endearing. Her small, stubborn lips, always tightly closed, resembled glistening, pink fruit, giving one the urge to savor them.

Without making a sound, Cheng Fei took out his phone and snapped a picture of the girl's face.

Because it wasn't muted, it made a clicking sound.

Cheng Fei stared at the girl, waiting for her to open her eyes and start cursing, but after two minutes there was still no reaction.

They're utterly pigs.

The boy pursed his lips, quietly sat down on the edge of the bed, and lifted a corner of her blanket.

During this process, Shen Xi opened her eyes.

A silent exchange of glances.

"Good morning, Teacher Shen."

"What are you doing?" The girl sat up warily.

"I was planning to crawl into your bed and sit next to you, then wait for you to wake up and lie to you that we slept together last night," Cheng Fei said honestly.

The girl narrowed her eyes, frowned, and stared at him. Then she sighed heavily. "I can't understand how someone as filthy, vulgar, and utterly boring as you can exist in this world."

"Teacher Shen, you should know that only someone as filthy, vulgar, and utterly bored as me would rush over to protect you at three in the morning when I'm so sleepy."

The girl turned her face away and fell silent.

"Are you ashamed of how you were so horrified by a video last night?" Cheng Fei raised an eyebrow.

"Shut up, I was just being cautious, since there really was a power outage back then." The girl gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, then looked up again. "Besides, weren't you scared too much to go back?"

Cheng Fei sighed, "Teacher Shen, I was just pretending to be scared to give you a way out. Please understand how much I really dote on you."

The girl's eyes flickered, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Anyway, she's just seizing the opportunity to sweet-talk me."

"Teacher Shen, if you have any conscience, please consider dating me as soon as possible and try to make a decision within twenty-two days."

Why twenty-two days?

"Don't worry about it. Do you want to have breakfast in bed? I'll get you some bread and yogurt."

……

93. Topic Five

Cheng Fei didn't have any particular feelings about going to school with a girl for the first time.

Because Shen Xi had her brows furrowed, she didn't speak to him at all.

Last night's sleep quality was still appalling, but thanks to a little trick, the boy didn't fall asleep in class today.

The method is actually very simple: when you're sleepy, just stand up and listen. Anyway, his seat is in the last corner and won't attract attention.

Well, at least at first he thought it wouldn't attract attention.

As a result, this behavior was discovered by the old scholar Zhang, who taught Chinese. He praised him and reminisced about the learning experiences of the older generation.

So when the next math class came around, there were suddenly three or five more students standing and listening.

The homeroom teacher, Zhao Ya, smiled as if she had witnessed something bizarre and said, "Why are you all standing there? Have you done something wrong?"

"Sister Ya, we learned it from Cheng Fei."

He said that standing up while listening would keep him awake.

"Then it's best not to stand there for too long. I'm mainly worried that you tall girls might block the view of the girls behind you. If they call their boyfriends to cause trouble for you, I won't care if you get beaten up."

As soon as Zhao Ya finished speaking, the classroom erupted in laughter, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

After finally making it to the afternoon, Cheng Fei headed to the club activity building as usual.

He was inevitably pointed at and talked about along the way, but he got used to it. He casually yawned, carrying his bag on his back with one hand and tilting his head back.

This action unexpectedly stimulated some young girls, who screamed softly and pulled out their phones to blatantly take pictures of the boy.

Cheng Fei was wide awake and quickly climbed to the sixth floor, pushing open the door to room 601.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Shen."

Good afternoon, Cheng Fei.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Fei walked up to the cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair.

"I never thought someone as selfish as you would have a day when you give back to society," the girl said without turning her head, focused on pasting photos onto the blackboard.

"Teacher Shen, you're talking in a way that no one can understand again."

"Didn't you donate your eyes? Even though they're dead fish eyes, there's no denying that some people need them."

"Is that so?" Cheng Fei exclaimed in surprise.

"Otherwise, a person with normal vision wouldn't ask me what I'm doing."

All the photos Shen Xi posted were screenshots of the girl with the white umbrella.

A young girl with short white hair, dressed in a blue and white sailor uniform, stood under the night sky holding a white umbrella.

Looking at these images in broad daylight no longer evokes any unease; instead, they are pleasing to the eye, like the masterpiece of a CG artist.

"Teacher Shen, of course I can see what you're doing, I just wanted to find an excuse to talk to you."

"I just didn't know what to say to you, so I'm just giving you a reluctant reply."

Cheng Fei observed the girl's focused profile and said, "Then you can say things like 'I'm thinking of you,' or 'I'm waiting for you to say I'm cute.'"

Shen Xi frowned. "I have to admit, I lack the ability to say such disgusting and insincere things."

"Are you really going against your conscience, Teacher Shen?" Cheng Fei looked into her eyes.

The girl's gaze met his, then she casually looked away. "Enough with the nonsense, let's get down to business."

"Ok."

"First, let's temporarily use Black Umbrella and White Umbrella as their code names."

"clear."

"Then you have a task."

"please say."

"Describe the appearance of the black umbrella in detail. I need to sketch it." Shen Xi took out the sketch paper and pencil she had prepared in advance and sat on the steel tube chair.

“Okay, let me think.” Cheng Fei sat down next to her. “She has a pair of big, bright eyes, a small nose, and cherry-like lips…”

Shen Xi closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.

"What's wrong, Teacher Shen?"

"As expected, I can't count on you. Now, I'll ask you questions and you answer them."

"I'm ready."

How old does she look?

"Twelve or thirteen?"

"So it's similar to a white umbrella?"

"It's not that they're almost the same, they're exactly the same."

"Their face shape and features are the same?"

"They look very similar, but their temperaments are quite different."

"In what ways are they different? Be specific."

"A black umbrella represents a blank expression, while a white umbrella represents a cheerful personality."

"Their hair is all white, the only difference is the length?"

"The direction of the bangs has also been reversed."

"What about the clothes?"

"They're all sailor uniforms, but the black umbrella has an extra black overcoat."

"anything else?"

"Hei San was wearing black pantyhose, which looked a little thicker than what Lin Xuanqi usually wore."

"?"

"Teacher Shen, what kind of look is that? I didn't make it up."

"Heh, so you really did take a close look at Lin Xuanqi's pantyhose."

"Teacher Shen, I'm reminding you that this is jealousy. And if you really like your over-the-knee socks, you can send me two pairs to keep as a souvenir if you can."

"Disgusting, shoes?"

"Shoes too? I'm not interested in that. I'll just give you the pair you wore yesterday."

"Don't vent your ugly, shameful desires on me. I'm asking you what shoes the black umbrella wears?"

"Oh, leather shoes, the cute kind with round toes."

"umbrella?"

"The same straight umbrella."

It took Shen Xi half an hour to complete the sketch.

Cheng Fei felt that the lifelike black umbrella girl in the painting was over 80% accurate, and Shen Xi's painting skills were terrifyingly high.

The boy looked at the painting from left to right and said, "Teacher Shen, I really have to admit that you are a genius this time."

"You only admit it now? Your slowness is beyond saving." The girl tossed her hair and pasted the sketch of the girl with the black umbrella onto the small blackboard.

Cheng Fei stared at the screenshots and sketches. "Teacher Shen, do you think it's possible that they are twin players, which is why the algorithm generated this appearance?"

"They still think they're just players even now, they're really stubborn." Shen Xi shook her head expressionlessly.

"Just kidding, Teacher Shen, what do you think of the current situation?"

Have you seen any NPCs in the corridor?

"Never, it's common knowledge that there are no NPCs in the Corridor."

"They might be some kind of incarnation of the game system, appearing on the first and fifth levels respectively. There must be some deeper meaning behind it."

"Teacher Shen, I completely agree with you."

"The best thing to do now is to find them and talk to them."

"I think so too, but how exactly do we do it?"

"Of course, we'll lure them out first, and then we'll see if we can coax or kidnap them depending on the situation."

"The methods are surprisingly simple, but Teacher Shen, they look like completely underage little girls. Is it really okay to do this?"

"As long as they are not human beings, they have no human rights to speak of."

"If they're not human, is it really possible to deceive or kidnap them?"

"This is the problem you need to solve. Next time you deal with the black umbrella, take it away as soon as possible. The white umbrella seems easy to fool, so use your skills to trick her out of it."

"Teacher Shen, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"A despicable person who uses his cleverness and good looks to achieve his goals by any means necessary."

"Even electronic ghosts can't escape my clutches?"
