"Keep breathing, but don't breathe too fast."
How many sets are left?
"The last group, if we're exhausted, we can end it at any time."
"No problem, I can handle it."
Shen Xi pushed open the door and saw a handsome young man lying flat on his back, lifting a barbell, with his bare upper body exposed. The butler, Sebastian, stood behind the young man, his hands supporting the barbell bar.
As the barbell moved up and down, the boy's breathing became heavy, and his pectoral muscles, upper arms, triceps, and deltoids throbbed powerfully.
Although the boy's physique wasn't as explosive as some online fitness gurus, his body, honed through consistent training, was already showing promise—well-proportioned, coordinated, and powerful—and his fair skin was dazzling.
At this moment, beads of sweat streamed down his taut muscles. If the girls from Yinghua saw this, their screams would probably shatter the windows of the club activity building.
"Good morning, Teacher Shen."
The girl was startled awake by the greeting, her eyes flickering as she turned to the window. "What are you doing?"
"As you can see, practice bench presses," Cheng Fei said, seizing the opportunity between breaths.
"Ha, he really goes to great lengths to please girls."
"Teacher Shen, you're wrong again. I'm doing this to become a realist and strong person. I can win girls' hearts with my looks alone." Cheng Fei gritted his teeth and completed the final nomination.
“You’ve done very well,” the silent old gentleman said.
"Sebastian, thank you for your help."
"No need to thank me, then I'll go help prepare breakfast." The old gentleman helped Cheng Fei unload the barbell, bowed slightly, and left the gym through another door.
Cheng Fei took a deep breath, stood up, walked to Shen Xi's side, and stretched his shoulders. "Teacher Shen, isn't the scenery here beautiful? You keep looking at it."
The gym's floor-to-ceiling windows face the beach, and there are lush green plants outside the windows, so you can't see too much into the distance.
Shen Xi's gaze met his, then quickly looked away. "What do you care about? Also, please put your clothes back on when you're done. Don't come near me like an exhibitionist."
"You don't like it?" Cheng Fei asked, wiping his sweat with a towel.
The girl frowned. "Asking a girl if she likes you while shirtless—you're practically committing a crime, you know that?"
"Teacher Shen, if it were any other girl from Yinghua, I'm afraid eleven out of ten would jump into my arms if I asked this question."
"You really are delusional."
"Just telling the truth, so what's your answer?"
"I'm not that shameless."
So you like them but are just too shy?
"Who just said it wasn't to please the girls?" the girl sneered.
"Teacher Shen, I only care about your opinion."
"That's enough, I have no interest in your harassment." The girl turned and left.
Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed, then got dressed and left the gym.
When the boy reappeared after taking a shower, the girls were already having breakfast in the restaurant.
Each person has a large plate in front of them containing a mix of sausages, bacon, baked beans, blood sausage, and grilled mushrooms.
"Good morning, senior and Nana."
"Good morning, junior." Miriam greeted him with dark circles under her eyes.
"Good morning, Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna smiled brightly.
Cheng Fei ignored the latter and asked, "Senior, how did things go for you last night?"
"Waaaaah, junior, I didn't fall asleep until dawn."
"What happened?"
"My phone died, and I needed to go to the bathroom but was too scared to get out of bed. I waited until dawn," Miriam sighed.
"Please accept my condolences." Cheng Fei pursed his lips tightly, covered his face, and pretended to be deep in thought.
Ridiculous British lesbians.
"Junior, why do you seem to be shaking?" Miriam asked, holding her knife and fork in confusion.
"It's nothing. By the way, what is this dish?"
How about a classic British breakfast?
"It's quite delicious, isn't it, Teacher Shen?"
The aloof girl on the other side lowered her eyes and ignored him completely.
"By the way, where's Ye Shuang?" Cheng Fei realized that one person was missing.
“She went for her morning exercise,” Nagasaki Asuna said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shuang, who had gone out for her morning exercise, walked in from the entrance hall.
The girl had her hair tied in a bun and was wearing a sports bra and a light jacket.
Because Cheng Fei glanced at her smooth navel, Ye Shuang zipped her zipper up above her waist before sitting down.
"Ye Shuang, when did you leave? Why didn't you come to the gym?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.
"Because I want to be away from you." Ye Shuang smiled warmly.
"Don't do that, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"I don't think we have anything to talk about."
“You’re wrong. We actually have a lot to talk about.”
"Please don't spoil my mood for eating."
"Ok."
After breakfast, the group trained as usual, with Miriam standing by, yawning incessantly.
This continued until noon, when Shen Xi announced a two-hour lunch break.
Lunch was British cuisine prepared by the nanny. Perhaps because the delicious dishes had already been shown enough, the taste of the food this time was rather subtle.
Fish and chips in the center of the table became the most popular dish and were completely devoured.
"Hmph, it seems everyone really enjoys this famous British dish."
"Senior, I suggest preparing it for every meal. Also, the shepherd's pie from yesterday was pretty good. Let's have another one tonight."
"But I also had the nanny prepare a lot of different dishes..."
"Really, it's not necessary. By the way, senior, can I borrow the study?"
"Of course, the study is on the second floor."
So Cheng Fei took his study materials and went into the room surrounded by bookshelves, where he began to study on the large table in the center.
His unwavering dedication to learning over the past decade has ingrained a passion for learning into the young man's very being, and he would never waste his weekends.
Amidst the ceaseless roar of the waves, the pen tip swiftly sliced across the paper with a soft, scratching sound.
After this situation continued for a while, the study door was quietly pushed open.
The nonchalant girl sat down in front of Cheng Fei, holding two books, resting her chin on her hands and gazing at him with a gentle, healing smile that made him feel no sense of wariness.
Cheng Fei acted as if he couldn't see her, completely focused on his studies.
Nagasaki Asuna, having watched him for a while with her chin propped up, shifted to a position where she rested her head on her arms and leaned on the table, continuing to gaze at him with her bright, clear eyes, overflowing with undisguised love.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
"Nana, let me remind you, learning is like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. You ranked third in the grade last time. If you don't work hard, you will probably fall behind."
"Will I be disliked if I regress?" the girl asked softly.
"It's not about whether you'll be disliked or not. Ultimately, you're the one who benefits from learning. You're working hard for yourself, and you should understand that."
"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna replied in a submissive, soft voice, smiling as she straightened her posture and picked up her pen. "My husband is right. This Nana is really too insensible."
Cheng Fei paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "Nana, please don't use titles indiscriminately."
The girl tilted her head casually with a smile, lightly touching her cheek with her pen. "Hey, you were just holding my face and calling me Nana last night?"
……
101. Cherries are very sweet.
In the dark room, the girl was focused on what she was doing, her eyes slightly narrowed, a glimmer of light shimmering within them, as she allowed her beautiful face to be gently caressed and played with...
Cheng Fei took a deep breath, forcing the memories that should be deleted out of his mind, and forced himself to focus on studying. He said in a cold tone, "Nana, I've already explained it..."
"I've already told you that you're just being used as a tool, so don't flatter yourself."
"We'll see..."
"Besides, you caused the problem, so it's only right that you take matters into your own hands and solve it yourself."
"I absolutely..."
"I absolutely do not have any feelings for you. Please pretend that nothing happened."
After being interrupted three times, Cheng Fei looked up at her.
Nagasaki Asuna pressed her upper body against the table, clicking a ballpoint pen against her chest. She tilted her head, propping her chin on one hand, a mischievous and playful smile on her face. She parted her lips slightly and said silently, "Husband?"
"Please stop now." Cheng Fei lowered his head and continued studying.
"We've already done it all." The girl puffed out her fair cheeks.
"What have you done? Classmate, please don't spread rumors."
"Rounding it up or down has been done."
"I've never heard of rounding like this before."
"Yes, yes, I know everything. Cheng Fei has accepted me in his heart, he just won't admit it." The girl smiled happily.
"That's not true."
"Cheng Fei, next time you can try a different way of using me." Nagasaki Asuna lightly tapped her cheek with her fingertip. "A question: There's something I can do that Shen Xi absolutely can't do. Cheng Fei, guess what it is?"
Cheng Fei looked at her, puzzled.
The girl smiled and puffed out her chest as if to emphasize something.
"Knowing you is the greatest blessing of Shen Xi's life. There will never be a next time, Nana."
"It can be done tonight."
"Please don't do anything reckless."
"I will go find Cheng Fei."
"I will lock the door."
"Cheng Fei, it's best not to leave your things lying around."
"You need to have some self-respect."
“I am yours, your Nana.” Nagasaki Asuna chuckled happily, her tone resolute.
She yawned, slumped onto the table, and closed her eyes.
"I already studied this morning, and now I'm taking a nap. I'm not slacking off." She explained softly, as if she could sense Cheng Fei's gaze even with her eyes closed.
"Go to bed if you want to sleep."
"No, I feel more at ease next to Cheng Fei..." The voice quickly faded.
Cheng Fei looked at the girl, whose breathing was even, and barely managed to resist waking her up to ask if she was really asleep.
Half an hour later, Nagasaki Asuna opened her eyes and looked up at the other side of the table.
Beneath the antique bookshelf, a young man sat upright, writing intently. Sunlight streamed in from the window, illuminating his deep-set eyes and nose, which resembled marble sculptures. A few strands of black hair adorned his forehead, and his shirt was spotless. The sound of waves crashing around him was constant.
