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

I agree with that.

"In that case, Cheng Fei should cherish me even more."

"I have no such obligation."

“Taking care of his wife is of course a husband’s duty,” the girl said with certainty.

"There is no relationship between them anymore."

“But Cheng Fei and I have already consummated our marriage.”

"Rounding up or down should be done in moderation."

"No, this is my math."

"I hope you'll use your math skills during your exams too."

"Cheng Fei, give it to me." The girl held out her hand.

"What do you want now?"

"Heart warmer, I'm a little cold." The girl stomped her foot as if she wasn't faking it.

"You didn't bring any. It's cold, why don't you wear more clothes?" The boy glanced at her skirt, which was so short it barely covered her thighs.

"We have to present our best side to Cheng Fei, or we'll lose." The girl said seriously.

"You talk like you're competing against someone."

"It's a competition..."

What are you touching?

"Hand warmer".

"Stop! How could this be in a place like that? I give up, take it."

"Two pieces are needed."

"It's gone."

"Then I'll keep touching you..."

"I'm scared of you. Here, take it. Are you satisfied now?"

"Thank you~ I'm satisfied."

The boy watched as the girl lowered her head, tore open two heat packs, and skillfully stuck them inside her clothes.

He thought for a moment, sighed, took off the scarf from his neck, and draped it over the girl's neck.

"Huh?" The girl, who was buttoning her sweater, suddenly felt a warmth and looked up in a daze.

"If girls don't pay attention to keeping warm, they're more likely to have health problems in the future, at least that's what we in China think." The boy adopted a lecturing tone.

The girl covered her mouth with both hands.

"what happened to you?"

"No, no, Cheng Fei, this is a bit too sudden." The usually fluent girl stumbled.

"It's just a scarf, why are you getting so worked up?"

"Even a scarf is a precious testament."

"Just to clarify, I just happened to be dressed warmly and not cold, so I felt sorry for you out of humanitarian concern. Don't overthink it..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, he was given a big bear hug.

After several more minutes of struggle, it was finally difficult to pry her apart.

"I'm saved." The girl touched the scarf around her neck with a satisfied look on her face.

"Wear more clothes now that you know it's cold."

"Good~"

"Don't just agree with nice words and let them go in one ear and out the other."

"Does Cheng Fei think my voice is nice?"

"You're hopeless."

"I'll be happy as long as Cheng Fei can save me."

"I knew I had to teach you a lesson. Give me back my scarf."

"No."

"Again."

"You'll freeze to death."

"You've been alive for so long and you're still not dead."

"I'm dying, my health bar is almost empty."

"Tsk."

Seeing that the girl was protecting the scarf around her neck as if it were a hard-won treasure, the boy had no choice but to abandon his plan.

Seeing this, the girl happily returned to her original position, allowing the two to continue walking forward.

"Cheng Fei."

"what happened?"

Has Shen Xi said anything to you from yesterday to today?

"No."

Not a single word?

"No."

"so."

Why are you asking this?

"To spy on the enemy."

"You reminded me. I should go see her tonight. I have a feeling she's jealous again," the boy said seriously.

"Yes, I agree. She's definitely sulking right now, so we have to coax her a bit."

The boy glanced suspiciously at the girl who was earnestly agreeing.

She turned her head and returned a harmless smile.

The boy continued walking forward.

"Cheng Fei."

"What's wrong now?"

"nothing."

"?"

The two stopped on a terrace.

A wide expanse of water appeared before us, its calm surface like a mirror, reflecting clusters of reeds and a dark red boardwalk.

The sun finally pierced through the thin autumn mist, its warm yet dazzling golden light spilling over everything.

The two stood side by side by the railing, gazing into the distance.

The girl squinted and let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, "It's so warm, it's so nice that the sun is out."

The boy turned his head to look at her.

The soft sunlight filtered through the girl's coffee-colored hair and fell on her face. The girl's features had an indescribable charm, and upon closer inspection, she was undeniably sweet and lovely.

The girl nestled her head on the boy's shoulder affectionately, as if she could stay like this forever.

The boy recalled how she captivated the audience with her radiant smile and singing on stage, and suddenly couldn't tell which one was the real her.

Nagasaki Asuna suddenly released the boy, took a deep breath in his sight, and made a megaphone shape with her hands in front of her.

"Cheng! Fei! Classmate!"

"I like you!"

I like you so much!

"I like you so much—I want to be your cat!!!"

The girl's desperate shout startled a flock of gulls and egrets, which flapped their wings and disappeared into the horizon.

……

123. The Girl's Antidote

Although the sun was out, it was still very cold in the wetland park.

Around noon, the two, freezing cold, escaped and moved to a nearby neighborhood. A maritime university and several middle schools were located in the vicinity, making the area quite lively.

The two found a quiet café that served food, with cozy private rooms on the second floor.

Stepping into the warm room, Nagasaki Asuna yawned slightly, leaned on the table, and gazed at the boy in front of her like a small animal, saying softly, "After I told him, Cheng Fei not only stopped calling me Nana, but he didn't even call me Nana anymore."

"It's just unnecessary." Cheng Fei observed the wallpaper pattern on the wall.

Asuna Nagasaki's eyes darted around, and a soft thud of shoes hitting the ground came from under the table.

Cheng Fei glanced down at the extra pair of things on his legs, then looked at her expressionlessly.

Asuna Nagasaki tilted her head, her eyes clear and innocent.

Just then, the beautiful shop owner suddenly walked over.

Both of them remained motionless.

"Excuse me." After putting the food down, the shop owner thoughtfully drew the painted curtain, turning the small private room into a private space.

Cheng Fei looked at Nagasaki Asuna with a helpless expression.

Asuna Nagasaki blinked, grinned mischievously, and her face seemed to say, "So what?"

"Please at least refrain from fidgeting while eating." Cheng Fei focused his attention on the food.

The boy ordered a curry chicken flavored rice dish and a cup of hot soy milk because the owner recommended her cheese baked rice.

"Call me Nana and I'll do whatever you say." Nagasaki Asuna moved arrogantly under the table.

The girl also ordered the cheese baked rice, which was flavored with tomato meat sauce and served with a caramel macchiato.

Cheng Fei felt that she had ulterior motives in choosing this drink, but Cheng Fei had no evidence.

"Nana," the boy seemed to be calling to the baked rice in front of him.

"Looking at me is what makes it effective," the girl said with a smile.

The boy reluctantly raised his head. "Nana, could you please take your foot back?"

"Okay~" The girl's response was sweeter than soy milk, and she obediently did as she was told.

"By the way, how were you on stage yesterday?" the boy asked casually while eating.

"Is Cheng Fei concerned about me?" The girl looked at him with a smile.

Never mind, I didn't ask.

"To be honest, I felt really unwell. When I got home, I was so dizzy I almost threw up." The girl sighed, slumped down, and used a spoon to put rice into her mouth.

"You couldn't tell at all from the outside. You were jumping around on stage, and I thought you were having a good time." The boy glanced at her.

"That's all acting. I'm a master of fake smiles." The girl made a V sign with her eyes.

"Are you faking a smile now?"

"Of course I smiled genuinely in front of Cheng Fei. Nothing makes me happier than being with Cheng Fei." The girl took a sip of her drink and squinted her eyes contentedly.
