"Where are you?"

"What's going on outside?"

"What are you doing? Why are you breathing so heavily?"

"I'm hiking Shazui Mountain. The weather is really nice today. Xuanqi, do you want to come?"

"You have one hour to go home, someone will come to pick you up."

"what?"

"Enough talk, that's it."

The call was abruptly ended.

"The thought of Cheng Fei becoming someone else's makes me so sad," Nagasaki Asuna whispered.

"Alright, I have to go..."

The boy's words were cut short once again.

A few minutes later, Nagasaki Asuna held her chest and calmed her breathing, then reluctantly bit her lip, "I'll go back with Cheng Fei."

However, as soon as the girl stood up, she was suddenly pulled down and her mouth was roughly covered with her hand.

"Nana, are your legs cold?" The boy's gaze couldn't help but sweep over her snow-white, full, absolute territory.

The girl, unable to speak, opened her eyes wide, as if realizing something, and nodded her head obediently.

……

Cheng Fei rushed as fast as he could and returned to his rented room within an hour.

I received a message from the tea ceremony teacher on WeChat.

"Nana loves you"

The sweet, soft voice of a young girl seemed to float in my ears.

The boy turned off his phone, shook his head, and tried to banish certain memories of Nagasaki Asuna from his mind.

Soon there was a knock on the door. He opened it, and standing outside were Ye Shuang and two maids.

"Master Ye?"

Ye Shuang glanced at him coldly and gestured to the two maids.

"Greetings, young master." The two men walked in carrying a stack of clothes. Without saying a word, they began to compare the young man's clothes from head to toe. They picked out a few items and almost started to change them for him, but he managed to stop them and sent them out to put them on himself.

It wasn't a very formal outfit; a warm white T-shirt layered under a beige striped jacquard shirt, paired with flowing khaki sweatpants. It looked similar to his usual casual wear, but actually looked much more sophisticated on him.

After he changed his clothes, the two of them pressed him down in a chair and trimmed his hair with small scissors, while also putting a watch on his wrist.

After a series of methodical actions, I put a stiff, dark brown shirt jacket on him and pushed him out the door.

……

125. Shen Xi Fishing

Ye Shuang glanced at the boy casually, then turned and left, saying, "Alright, that's it."

"Master Ye, where are we going?" Cheng Fei quickly followed.

"Don't ask too many questions." The girl with twin ponytails remained as cold as ever.

The two went downstairs, got into the car, and the black luxury sedan drove towards South Bay.

"Master Ye, you look perfect for a fight today." Cheng Fei looked the girl in front of him up and down, who was wearing a pink baseball jacket and sweatpants.

It seems to be the effect of the red headband, because Cheng Fei has been dreaming about fighting Ye Shuang every night for the past few days. Those moves from last time are repeatedly and thoroughly imprinted in his mind.

He was itching to fight, and if he hadn't been waiting for an opportunity, he would have already sparred with Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang crossed her arms over her chest, glanced at him with a cold look in her eyes, and remained silent.

"But it's also quite cute. What's that saying again? The pinker the clothes, the harder they'll hit you." The boy added.

"Keep talking nonsense, I'll pass on the message to Miss later." Ye Shuang looked out the window.

"Master Ye, I'm sorry." Cheng Fei shut his mouth.

A black luxury car drove into a seaside estate and stopped on a cobblestone-paved ground.

Ye Shuang got out of the car first, and Cheng Fei followed beside her, subtly looking around. "Master Ye, do rich people like to live in such remote places? It's so inconvenient to come and go like this."

"Who told you that you have to live in it just because you bought it?" The girl with pigtails stared straight ahead.

"That's right, I was presumptuous." Cheng Fei nodded.

The two walked through the open door, and could hear lively sounds coming from inside the foyer.

Upon entering the lobby, the scattered guests did not pay much attention to the arrival of the two.

Everyone was dressed casually, and there were people having a barbecue on the lawn outside. Several children were running around with kites.

Cheng Fei guessed that this was a private party.

"Don't follow me," Ye Shuang suddenly turned around and warned rudely.

"Okay." Cheng Fei raised his hands in surrender and watched as the girl with pigtails left him and headed to some unknown place on the second floor.

There was no sign of Lin Xuanqi at all.

The boy thought for a moment, then silently put his hands in his pockets and went outside to observe the barbecue grill.

A young woman with a dangerous-looking hairstyle was busy reminding a child running towards her to slow down.

The boy walked up to her and greeted her across the barbecue grill, "Hello, sister."

"Hello." The young woman looked up, her eyes lighting up. "We don't think we've met before. Who are you?"

"My name is Cheng Fei, and I'm Lin Xuanqi's classmate," the boy said casually. "Could I have something to eat?"

"Of course, the plate is over here, just take what you like," the young woman said with a smile.

The sun was setting, and it was indeed close to dinner time. Since Lin Xuanqi hadn't shown up, he decided to eat first.

Cheng Fei picked up the plate and added some browned meat, corn, asparagus, and mushrooms.

Just then, someone walked up to Cheng Fei and held out a plate. "Sister Yufei, I want chicken skewers and rice cakes."

"Xiao Xi? Long time no see, you've grown even more beautiful." The young woman looked delighted and handed the item to her.

Cheng Fei turned his head and froze.

"Teacher Shen?"

"Thank you, Sister Yufei." The aloof girl with long, dark hair seemed not to see the boy, and turned to leave with the plate in her hand, her expression blank.

"Teacher Shen, what are you doing here?" Cheng Fei followed.

"Who are you? I don't know you." The girl walked towards the sea on the grass, oblivious to her surroundings.

"The previous hard drive failed? All the memories of the most important person in my life have been lost."

"Where did this delusional guy come from? If you follow me again, I'll have someone kick you out." The girl didn't even look at him.

"I almost forgot, Ms. Shen, you are, after all, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. It's perfectly normal for you to be here."

"baffling."

"Teacher Shen, have you seen Lin Xuanqi?" Cheng Fei asked while eating.

"Call out 'Master' a few times, and maybe she'll appear," the girl said coldly.

"Not at all, she hasn't agreed to be with me yet," Cheng Fei said shyly.

"As expected, there's no cure." The girl's face grew even colder.

The two arrived at the beach one after the other.

This is a private beach, and due to the weather, the beach was deserted, but a group of people had gathered near the rocks not far away.

Shen Xi led the way in that direction.

Cheng Fei followed her, but before he could say anything, a handsome blond boy called out to him.

"Cheng Fei, are you Cheng Fei?"

"you are?"

"Kong Ruizhe, the current vice president of Yinghua Student Council, I saw you in the audience yesterday." The boy smiled brightly and extended his hand.

"Hello." Cheng Fei shook hands with him.

They do look familiar; if I remember correctly, I've seen them backstage.

“Your presence here means that Lin Xuanqi…” Kong Ruizhe said tentatively.

"That's not true." Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Let's go fishing together?" Kong Ruizhe changed the subject.

"Huh?" Cheng Fei then realized that the group of people were standing on the rocks, with everyone from middle-aged men to children holding a fishing rod.

"Do you know how to lure fishing?" Kong Ruizhe handed him a fishing rod.

"I don't know how to fish." The boy looked at the fishing rod.

“Since you’re here, it’s very simple. See this lure? Cast it down like this, then slowly retrieve it, pausing occasionally to give it a shake, making the lure mimic the movement of a small fish. If you don’t catch it, retrieve it and repeat.” Kong Ruizhe demonstrated enthusiastically. “This area is rich in resources at the estuary, so even beginners can easily catch fish.”

"Alright, since I'm already here, I'll give it a try." Cheng Fei quickly finished the barbecue, picked up his fishing rod, and found a comfortable spot nearby.

Cast the lever, then retrieve it using the technique demonstrated by Kong Ruizhe.

While fishing, the boy glanced at the aloof girl squatting beside him eating barbecue and asked curiously, "Teacher Shen, didn't you say that lure fishing requires constant movement?"

"So what?" Shen Xi stared at the sea expressionlessly.

"But you don't move at all, how can you catch fish like that?"

Shen Xi simply placed the pole beside her feet and ignored it completely.

"A fish that is willing to take the bait will naturally take the bait."

"As expected of you, Teacher Shen."

Unlike the girl, the boy diligently repeated the motion of swinging the stick back.

An hour later, Cheng Fei realized he had no talent for fishing. While the other children caught a beautiful blue-black fish, Cheng Fei had nothing to show for it except for a sore arm.

"So lure fishing is a sport, don't worry about the catch, hahaha." Kong Ruizhe patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Suddenly, Shen Xi's fishing rod moved.

The girl picked up the rod, reeled in the line, and the fishing rod immediately bent down towards the water.

Under Cheng Fei's astonished gaze, Shen Xi caught a medium-sized, grayish-black grouper.

The girl examined her only catch of the day, pondered for a moment, and said, "What an ugly fish. From now on, I'll call you Cheng Fei."

"Hey," the boy next to him protested pointlessly.

Shen Xi smiled and walked back with her fishing rod on her shoulder. "Let's see if we can grill this flying fish when we get back."

……

126. Each has its own perspective.

When Cheng Fei returned, mingling with a group of fishermen, Lin Xuanqi also happened to appear.

A girl with cascading black hair walked down from the second floor with a group of laughing adults, then lazily yawned to herself.

Her gaze fell on the boy, and she walked over without changing her expression.

"This fishing rod is yours."
