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

As night deepened, the teahouses and taverns on the street closed one after another, leaving only the newly opened comic book store brightly lit.

A meticulously dressed girl with pigtails stood in front of the cashier, clutching a comic book. She shielded her eyes with her arm, but still couldn't stop the glistening tears from sliding down her fair chin. A tall, handsome young man stood opposite her, hands in his pockets, watching her with a smile.

Some strange scenes unfolded, as if a customer and a shop assistant had some misunderstanding, or perhaps for some other reason. Passersby inadvertently turned their heads, attracted by the two people's outstanding appearance, yet feeling unable to understand, they shook their heads and continued walking along their own paths.

Cheng Fei looked at the obedient girl in front of him, who was crying her eyes out and struggling to breathe. After a moment, he shook his head and let out a helpless sigh, "Ye Xiaoshuang, I really can't do anything with you."

As he spoke, he took out his phone while staring at the girl, glanced at the screen, dialed a number, and held it to his ear to wait.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

"Hey." The boy replied indifferently.

What was said over there?

"Sleep my foot! What time do you go to sleep? Remember what I asked you to do before?" The boy's tone was utterly impolite.

Ye Shuang stopped talking and, sobbing, cast a blank look at him.

"I'm giving her the phone now. If she dares to say anything out of line, don't blame me for being ruthless on Monday. I'm not kidding." The boy threatened her again before feeling at ease.

Then, Cheng Fei handed his phone to Ye Shuang as if nothing had happened, saying, "Master Ye, you have a call."

"Who is it?" The girl's face was still covered in tears. She sniffed and reluctantly took the phone. When she saw the call number, her pupils contracted. Realizing something, her heart felt like it had been ripped open, and her trembling gaze fell on the boy.

"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and answer the phone," the boy gestured to her with his chin.

Ye Shuang's expression became blank, her arms felt rusty, and she struggled to put the phone to her ear, swallowing hard. "Hello... Miss?"

The trembling voice sounded like it was filled with fear.

"Xiao Shuang? Why do you sound like you're crying? Did Cheng Fei beat you up?" A suspicious voice came from the other end of the line.

"No, I wasn't crying." The girl tried to make her voice sound calm, but to little avail. She whispered, "Is there something you need, Miss?"

The boy opposite pursed his lips and looked away, then covered his mouth with the base of his thumb, as if searching for something on the walls and ceiling, or as if trying his best to remain serious.

"Nothing important," came the languid voice on the other end of the phone. "I just wanted to tell you."

"What does Miss want to tell me...?" Ye Shuang seemed to sense something, her pupils dilating as she stared into the void.

"Xiao Shuang, from now on you belong to Cheng Fei. You don't need to follow me anymore, understand?" The tone on the other end was nonchalant, as if he were casually giving away some insignificant little object as a gift, or as if it were an unquestionable command, carrying an arrogant feeling.

The phone call ended as soon as he finished speaking.

When the silent beeping notification sound rang out, Ye Shuang's breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop as well. She kept her phone suspended in mid-air, her eyes unblinking.

"Why isn't she responding?" The young man waved his hand in front of her eyes, leaned closer across the counter to make eye contact with her, and asked, "Master Ye, did you hear everything Lin Xuanqi said?"

The boy's lips curled into a smile, a smile that was not without smugness and even a hint of malice, like a cunning and shrewd businessman who had just completed a carefully calculated transaction and was ready to reap the rewards of his operation.

"You, you...!" Ye Shuang's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, her expression turning completely terrified, her petite body trembling violently.

"What? Do you understand the situation?" The young man stared at her without any guilt, speaking softly and deliberately, "Ye Xiaoshuang, Lin Xuanqi doesn't want you anymore. Just stay with me."

The girl stood there, staring blankly at him, completely breathless.

"Why aren't you reacting? Are you scared stiff?" The boy observed her carefully, then shook his head. "Never mind."

As he spoke, he cupped that beautiful face, which had been crying and looked pitiful yet now seemed lost in thought, and leaned down to look at it.

He treated her more ruthlessly than ever before, with an undisguised possessiveness towards the girl, savoring her unique fragrance as if it were his own possession, not letting a single trace escape him, as if he wanted to drain her very soul.

With a soft thud, the comic book in the girl's arms fell to her feet. She couldn't resist and could only stand there stiffly, letting them do as they pleased.

A quiet manor in South Bay.

Lin Xuanqi sat by the window, holding her phone, looking at the tranquil garden in the night, her reddened eyes blinking gently.

The girl shifted her sitting position, rested her chin on her palm, and exhaled softly.

Images of the obedient girl from childhood to adulthood flashed before my eyes: her sweet smile following me, her evasive gaze when hiding the truth, and her reddened eyes after a face-to-face confrontation.

The girl remained silent, her naturally charming face showing a mixture of melancholy and relief.

……

Without anyone noticing, Ye Shuang's eyes closed slightly, tears welling up in her eyelashes. Her petite body softened, and she tiptoed, as if to make it easier for the boy behind the cashier to enjoy everything she had.

Until one moment, the boy let her go.

Something refracted the light, flashed through the air, fell onto the table, and disappeared.

Cheng Fei looked at the girl in front of him and said softly, "I've gone to so much trouble, you should agree to date me now, right?"

Ye Shuang bit her pink lips tightly, the lingering flutter in her heart still visible. Her eyes, red like a rabbit's, stared at the boy, her clear voice trembling with resentment, "Scumbag, so you planned this all along? You schemed against me!"

"Master Ye, what do you mean by scheming? It's all because I like you, but I'm worried that you'll never agree, so I'm just preparing some strategies in advance." The young man shook his head and sighed.

"You're just bullying me! You even anticipated what I would say! You actually made Miss, made Miss..." The girl covered her mouth and sobbed, unable to continue.

"Master Ye, just a friendly reminder, Lin Xuanqi doesn't want you anymore, so don't call her 'Miss' anymore." The young man said with a half-smile.

"I'm going to scream, and I'll scream for the rest of my life, it's none of your business!" The girl raised her voice with a stubbornness.

The boy nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, Master Ye can call her whatever she wants as long as she's happy, but the fact is I've already reached an agreement with her, and Master Ye will be mine from now on. Please calm down and accept reality."

"I'm not an object, so why should I be yours just because someone says so!" The girl felt even more aggrieved.

"Don't you listen to Lin Xuanqi anymore?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"Me." The girl opened her mouth, then looked down at something else, her brows furrowed, as if she were in a state of confusion.

Cheng Fei shook his head at her, walked around from behind the cashier, cupped her face, and forced her to look directly at him. "Ye Xiaoshuang, date me, do you hear me?"

The girl's eyes reddened, and tears welled up again.

"Don't cry, be my girlfriend, do you hear me?" The boy approached her, their eyes meeting as if he were brainwashing her.

The girl bit her lip and looked at him. After a brief silence, she burst into tears again.

"Why are you crying again, Ye Xiaoshuang? You're still not willing? What do you want?" The boy released her and scratched his head, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The girl covered her eyes with her arm and cried loudly. She finally managed to swallow and stop, looking at him with a sob in her voice, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't know what to do when you suddenly do this!"

"What's there not to know?" The boy smirked and ruffled her hair. "If you're willing, just say you're willing, isn't that enough?"

"I..." Ye Shuang opened her mouth, choked back a sob, and finally managed to squeeze out the words through her throat, "I do, I do, okay? I'm willing to be your girlfriend...!"

The words appeared before the boy's eyes.

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled the petite girl into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Ye Xiaoshuang, you really are a nuisance."

"You've bullied me like this and you still complain about me being a nuisance...!" The girl buried her face in his chest, her cries growing increasingly aggrieved.

1061. Ye Shuang had a small misunderstanding.

After some effort, Cheng Fei managed to calm down the obedient girl who was crying very hard for some reason.

"Little crybaby, have you cried enough?" The boy cupped the pretty face flushed with emotion, wiping away the tear stains with his thumb while gently rubbing it. He felt the warmth of her body and the comfortable touch of her delicate skin, which inexplicably reminded him of Nagasaki Asuna.

Ye Shuang sniffed, bit her lip lightly, and tried to lower her head as usual, but she was unable to move because she was being controlled. She could only look away and avoid eye contact.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"I don't know what to say," the girl said softly.

"If all else fails, just say you're very happy to be friends with me and ask for my continued support from now on?" the boy suggested with interest.

The girl paused for a moment, her eyes glancing downwards, her face darkening, and her voice, strained and barely audible, said, "Let's date...please take care of me."

"You actually said that? You're so obedient." The boy chuckled.

"You jerk, you asked me to say this so you'd laugh at me again!" The girl glared at him, a little embarrassed and angry.

"Alright, I was wrong, then I'll say it too." The boy looked directly into her pupils and spoke softly, "Ye Xiaoshuang, please take care of me in the future."

The girl briefly met his gaze, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked away, and softly hummed in agreement.

"In that case, let's go home." Cheng Fei released her face and instead took her hand, his mood becoming simpler.

"Which home?" Ye Shuang blinked and cautiously looked up.

The boy met her gaze, his expression serious. "If I'm not mistaken, this is my home. Of course, it's not impossible for Master Ye to ask me to meet his parents now."

"Don't talk nonsense." The girl tensed up and buried her head. "How could we possibly tell our parents about our relationship..."

The young man looked at her silently for a second, then leaned into her field of vision, as if nothing had happened, "Don't worry, Master Ye, I'll tell you when I marry you in the future?"

The girl looked up abruptly, her eyes wide, her face flushing red again as she cried out, "You scumbag, don't lie to me!"

"What are you talking about? When have I ever lied to Master Ye?" The boy spread out his empty hands.

"You've lied to me enough already?!" For some reason, the volume increased.

"At least I didn't lie this time." The boy said in a serious tone.

"This is another lie!" The clear voice spoke without hesitation.

"How can you be so sure? Can't you just trust me for once?"

"It's a lie!"

"Hmm, could it be a provocation tactic?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, if you're going to leave, then leave quickly!" She dragged the boy towards the store exit.

"Ye Xiaoshuang, are you starting to avoid the topic?"

"You are not allowed to call me Ye Xiaoshuang!"

"Sorry, I have the right to call you that now." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"Why should I?" The girl was stunned.

“Lin Xuanqi used to call you Xiaoshuang, and now that she’s given you to me, of course I’ll still call you that.”

"I wasn't given to you!!!" she shouted louder than ever before.

"Master Ye, I know you have a good lung capacity and your voice is better now, but please keep your voice down, others will hear you."

"..."

Under the cover of night, young men and women, holding hands, walk hand in hand through the electronics district, then get into a white supercar parked by the roadside and quickly disappear at the end of the road.

On the second floor of a street-side cafe, two people sat by the window, with their coffee, which had gone cold, in front of them.

"Ruan Jingyi, did you see that?" Zhou Han stared at the scene on the street below, her round eyes unblinking, now empty and devoid of vitality.

"Hmm." The quiet girl on the other end of the line spoke softly, her expression as always blank, as if she didn't care about what had just happened.

The two, who were strolling around the electronics street on Saturday, had already eaten dinner and were planning to go home when they suddenly spotted a familiar Lamborghini by the roadside. They decided to stake out the spot, hoping to catch some gossip about the boy and a certain Protoss Queen or Inspector.

"Cheng Fei was holding Ye Shuang's hand as they walked, and Ye Shuang was very cooperative." The petite girl murmured to herself, "Sure enough, my feeling before was right."

"Mm." Ruan Jingyi continued to nod.

“So now Cheng Fei is connected to Shen Xi, Asuna, and Ye Shuang.” Zhou Han’s voice also lost its dynamism.

"Mm." The quiet girl simply nodded. When the other side fell silent, she blinked as she gazed in the direction the Lamborghini had gone, her calm gaze leaving no room for guessing her thoughts.

……

Guang'an Street.

A white supercar slowly came to a stop in an old residential area.

Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang got out of the car and walked into the building side by side.

The girl clutched the comic book she had brought from the shop tightly to her chest, staring straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

The boy noticed this but didn't say anything; he simply led her upstairs.

The door opened, and the rented room was quiet, remaining as it was before the two left.

"Master Ye, shall we take turns showering? You're all sweaty after playing all day." Cheng Fei placed his hand on Ye Shuang's head, his tone nonchalant.

"Mmm." The girl kept her head down, her voice sounding strained, and her ears had turned bloodshot, as if she already knew what was about to happen.

So the boy finished showering, waited for the sound of running water to come from the other side, and opened WeChat to find several unread messages.
