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

"Looks like you're really looking forward to me giving you one? Well, I'll find you a nice stone somewhere else to make it up to you when we get back." The boy peeked into her field of vision and smiled.

"No interest. Don't send me stones like that British lesbian did," the girl said in a muffled voice.

As soon as the words were spoken, a familiar figure appeared beside the two of them.

"Junior, look at the good stuff I found!" Miriam approached Cheng Fei mysteriously and spread her hands.

"Senior, what is this?" The boy looked down and couldn't help but frown.

"Pink snow! Isn't that amazing?"

"Uh, senior."

"What's wrong, junior?"

"This color comes from the droppings of penguins eating krill."

"I was wondering why there was that smell, ugh..."

1008. Cheng Fei and Shen Xi embark on their journey.

In the evening, the students of Sakura returned from Penguin Island, still immersed in the atmosphere of excitement.

In the restaurant, Chen Hao smoothed his pompadour at the bar, gazing at the ceiling and daydreaming, "Tomorrow we're going on a glacier hike, the real highlight of this school trip! Wow, such a challenging activity, even I'm getting excited!"

"I just want to sleep in the dorm." Du Xinhua covered her mouth and yawned.

Aside from this discussion, the three of them occupied a table in a corner. Cheng Fei was checking the planned route on the map one last time, while Shen Xi sat beside him watching intently.

"Um, are you two leaving tomorrow?" Nagasaki Asuna took a sip of her hot milk and tilted her head.

The boy nodded.

"When will you be back?" the sweet girl blinked.

"If all goes well, it will be the morning after tomorrow," the boy said thoughtfully.

It takes half a day to get from the camp to Cape of Hope, and another half a day to explore the ice cave. Although theoretically one can travel during the polar day, considering Shen Xi's physical condition, he decided to camp there for one night before returning.

The aloof young woman beside him remained expressionless and silent.

"Eh, is it okay to sleep outside?" Nagasaki Asuna asked with concern.

"Don't worry, we're well prepared." The young man patted her on the head.

"Okay~ Then the cat will wait for its owner to come back." The sweet girl responded obediently, a happy smile curving her lips.

"Vixen." Shen Xi said coldly, turning her face away with disdain.

Not far away, Lin Xuanqi and Ye Shuang sat together, silently watching the three people over there.

The haughty girl rested her chin on her hand, gazing thoughtfully at the boy's profile. "Xiao Shuang."

"Miss, what's wrong?" The obedient girl next to her blinked.

"When we get back this time, could you please help me arrange tutoring with Cheng Fei again?" Lin Xuanqi said softly.

Ye Shuang nodded without hesitation, then lowered her head and gently bit her lip, "It's nothing hard, it's all what I should do."

"There's nothing I should or shouldn't do." Lin Xuanqi looked at her for a moment, then placed her palm over her face and hesitated for a second. "Xiao Shuang, from now on..."

"Later? What does Miss want to say?" The obedient girl looked up, her face full of doubt.

"From now on, you can just relax and be with Cheng Fei. You don't need to keep thinking about me." The arrogant girl said earnestly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Miss." The obedient girl's eyes darted around, and her voice became softer.

“You must be unhappy being caught in the middle between the two of us all the time. Don’t do that again.” Lin Xuanqi gently stroked the pretty face of the well-bred young lady and sighed softly.

"I'm not unhappy at all." The obedient girl shook her head vigorously, but her slow tone was hardly convincing.

"Xiao Shuang, it's come to this already. I won't blame you for what happened with Cheng Fei anymore. Don't feel sorry for me and put more pressure on yourself. Remember that?" The arrogant girl rubbed her head and adopted a slightly assertive tone.

"Miss, actually I..." The obedient girl lowered her head, her eyes flickering, and swallowed. "I didn't intend to do anything with him, especially not those messy things."

"Really didn't think about it?" Lin Xuanqi leaned closer to observe her, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

The obedient girl's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of unease appeared on her face.

"You used to eavesdrop on me when I was with Cheng Fei, didn't you?" Lin Xuanqi lowered her voice, a look of reminiscence on her face.

“Miss, I wasn’t like that back then.” The obedient girl’s pupils contracted as if pricked by needles, and she quickly shook her head vigorously.

"Anyway, you can do whatever you want with Cheng Fei from now on, like Asuna, it's fine. You're my friend, not my maid." The arrogant girl gently stroked the back of her head and whispered in her ear.

"Why did you suddenly say that, Miss?" The obedient girl's eyes reddened slightly, and her ears also turned slightly bloodshot.

"Is it sudden? Just remember it anyway." Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, as if nothing had happened.

The obedient girl lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, and twisted her hands together.

The arrogant girl watched her increasingly uneasy expression, propped her chin up with one hand, lightly tapped her cheek with her fingertips, and kept an ambiguous smile on her lips.

In any case, as dusk falls on the night of the polar day, the Sakura students end their day's journey and return to their respective dormitory cabins.

After washing up, Cheng Fei lay on the bed and sighed comfortably. He stretched his arms out to the ceiling and said in a serious tone, "Teacher Shen, you can come up now."

"Sorry, no thanks." Shen Xi walked past, turned straight to her bed, climbed up, and pulled back the covers.

"Why? Everything was fine yesterday. What went wrong again?" the boy asked in surprise.

"No problem, but we're going to take action tomorrow, so I need to rest well today. Therefore, I'm forbidden from doing anything unnecessary." The cool and aloof girl's face was tense, as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She covered herself with the blanket, lay down, and closed her eyes.

The boy looked at her, who seemed to be fully focused on sleeping, and hesitated, then finally sighed in dejection, "Yes, as long as Teacher Shen is happy."

Then, I obediently lay down as well.

In the dead of night, the twilight of the midnight sun streamed in through the window, once again enveloping the dormitory cabin in tranquility.

A few moments passed like this.

"Teacher Shen, it won't affect tomorrow's operation," the boy said earnestly.

"Shut up," the girl said coldly and without any politeness.

"Teacher Shen, just three times is enough," the boy said, looking at the ceiling.

"I told you to shut up." The girl frowned slightly.

"Once is fine too. Teacher Shen doesn't need to worry about anything, just give me the small, tender ones." The boy coaxed patiently.

"Dare to utter another word?" The girl opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, interrupting, her face turning displeased.

"You're wrong." The boy shut his mouth.

"Considering the special circumstances, I'll make it up to you when I get back, so go to sleep now." The girl softened her tone slightly, though it was still stern.

"Yes." The boy nodded respectfully and had no choice but to close his eyes.

The girl closed her eyes as well.

Some time passed.

The girl opened her eyes, her brows furrowed. She glanced at the boy not far away and noticed that he was breathing evenly. She narrowed her eyes.

Then, rustling sounds came from inside the dormitory cabin.

"Teacher Shen?! What's all this time?" The boy felt an unexpected pressure, opened his eyes in surprise and doubt, wondering if he had entered a dream.

"Don't make a sound, go back to sleep." The girl draped the blanket over her shoulders, then crawled down on him like a monster, burying her head comfortably near his neck, and stopped moving.

The boy blinked as he stared at the ceiling, feeling a sense of security, like being nestled in a den, slowly emanating from the girl.

Is it that someone can't sleep and needs to be on top of him to be satisfied, or is there some other meaning?

The boy decided to put it into practice and try to feel her plumpness and delicate beauty.

"Take your hand away." A deep, authoritative voice rang out.

The boy silently withdrew his hand.

It seems they really just came here to sleep.

Realizing this, he turned and put his arm around the girl's frail waist.

The girl silently shifted her body, aligning their outlines so that their forms became one.

After that, the air in the dormitory cabin fell completely silent.

The next morning, the students of Yinghua gathered at the restaurant on time to prepare for the glacier hiking activity, the third day of their Antarctic trip.

Aside from everyone else, Cheng Fei and Shen Xi had already prepared to set off.

Watching the aloof girl hoist her heavy travel bag onto her back, the boy thought for a moment, "Isn't it too heavy? Let's move some more things over here."

The boy carried a larger travel bag, which included a camping tent, sleeping bags, supplies for two people, and equipment for exploring ice caves.

"No need." The girl shook her head, her face expressionless.

"Really?" the boy asked, not without worry.

"If you really can't carry it, you can transfer it to Cheng Feiyu." The girl exchanged a glance with him, her voice as cold as ever, "Let's go now."

"Alright." The boy had no choice but to nod and walked out of the camp first.

The girl followed silently behind.

Miriam had already been informed of this matter, so the two of them left the camp without permission without attracting any attention.

As the glacier hiking activity began, Lin Xuanqi looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Where are Cheng Fei and Shen Xi?"

“Exactly, exactly. I also wanted to ask them where they went. They haven’t been seen since this morning.” Zhou Han blinked her round eyes, curious.

"Do those two have other plans and want to act alone today?" Nagasaki Asuna asked casually.

"Huh? What are they up to?" Lin Xuanqi asked suspiciously.

"Anyway, Cheng Fei is here, so everything should be fine, right?" Ye Shuang thought for a moment.

……

Shen Xi climbed the hillside and looked back. Her pure, dark eyes reflected the campsite, which had become a small dot in her field of vision.

"Little cutie, what's wrong?" Cheng Fei reached out his hand to her from the front.

"It's nothing." The girl lowered her eyes, grabbed the boy's hand for support, and moved uphill with her travel bag on her back.

The two had entered the uninhabited area. Fortunately, the weather was fine and windless today. The daytime temperature on the Antarctic Peninsula at the end of November was slightly below zero. With just the right amount of cold protection, the heat from exercise made them forget the cold.

The inland ice fields were devoid of animals, and the air was exceptionally still. The deeper one went into the ground, the more snow accumulated, and the exposed rocks were gradually covered by the untouched snow. The whole world was so quiet that it seemed to exist only for the two of them.

"Teacher Shen, now we've really reached a point where shouting won't help. What are your thoughts?" The boy and girl walked side by side, quite intrigued.

"Please, Cheng Feiyu, stop polluting this continent with your filthy and despicable thoughts." The girl sighed softly.

"Not at all, at most I would only pollute Teacher Shen." The boy said without any guilt.

"Once you get to a place like this, if Cheng Feiyu forces you to do something excessive, there's no way to escape. It's truly hopeless. Are you satisfied with that?" Apart from the panting from the continuous exercise, the girl's tone remained completely unchanged.

"Satisfied. It seems Teacher Shen is quite enlightened." The boy sighed contentedly.

"That incredibly boring Cheng Feiyu, he never forgets to bring up such disgusting topics to me." The girl said with obvious disgust.

"Teacher Shen has that kind of charm." The boy nodded with certainty.

"I think Cheng Feiyu is just that kind of despicable person."

"Even if it is truly despicable, it is only directed at you."

"If you're going to distort the facts, at least use some fresh rhetoric. Don't bring up this old, outdated stuff."

"Teacher Shen is so strict."

Following the pre-planned route, the two slowly made their way across the ice field.

"Teacher Shen."

"What."

"Have you ever thought about how to introduce me to your mother if you ever find her?"

"How did Cheng Feiyu know he could find it?"
