"That's nice of you, but unfortunately I'm already on my way to your house."

"I will not eat."

"That's not up to you, little one."

"This is ridiculous. You should stop now."

"You should stop now and stay home and wait for me."

"Cheng Fei! What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going to your house. Any other questions? If not, I'll hang up now."

"..."

"Bye, goodbye."

"No tomato shrimp balls."

"You don't like it?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Row."

Cheng Fei hung up the phone, packed the food at the restaurant, and carried it to Shen Xi's apartment.

He easily found his way to the 36th floor and opened the door with the password.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair was already standing in the entryway, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, you're still as lovely as ever after just one hour." Cheng Fei walked up to her carrying a bag.

Shen Xi remained silent, her brows furrowed as she stared at the boy in front of her. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and kicked him.

Unfortunately, because I was wearing slippers this time, they were soft and didn't cause any damage.

"Teacher Shen, what kind of cute girl's angry attack is this?"

"You broke into the home of a female high school student living alone without permission. That's a crime," Shen Xi said coldly.

"I thought it was something serious." The boy suddenly opened his arms to her, the plastic bag in his hand ripping loudly.

The girl backed away warily, arms crossed over her chest, glaring at him fiercely. "What do you want now?"

"Teacher Shen, you can hug me now." Cheng Fei remained motionless.

Shen Xi stared at him with a puzzled look. "Have you gone completely mad from the continuous losses on your investments? It's definitely safer to have someone kick you out. I can't imagine what you would do to me if you came in."

"How did you know I was losing money? Did you order the Shen family's main funds to target me? I was wondering why my stocks kept falling as soon as I bought and rising as soon as I sold," Cheng Fei said in surprise.

"Shut up, I'm calling the police."

Seeing the girl seriously pull out her phone, Cheng Fei lowered his arm, shook his head, and walked past her into the living room. "It's a matter of etiquette, Teacher Shen. You're really impolite. Luckily, I always forgive you."

"I've never heard of such etiquette before." Shen Xi put down her phone and kept her distance from him with a wary expression.

"If a boyfriend brings delicious food to visit, shouldn't his girlfriend at least give him a hug in return?" Cheng Fei placed the food on the dining table.

"Stop your hopeless delusions." The girl looked disgusted.

Cheng Fei sat down and opened the takeout boxes one by one. The dishes he ordered for Shen Xi were exactly the same as last time, but he changed his own to chicken stew with mushrooms and dumplings with several different fillings.

Shen Xi stood to the side, her expression giving the impression of "staring at a cockroach scurrying around in a hard-to-reach crevice".

"Please, my lovely Princess Moon." Cheng Fei pushed the shrimp dumplings to the other side and placed disposable chopsticks for her as well. "The sweet and sour pork won't taste good when it gets cold."

After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks, took a hot dumpling, put it in his mouth, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Shen Xi was silent for a second, then reluctantly sat down, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, took a small bite, chewed, looked up, and found that the boy across the table was staring at her. She gritted her teeth and kicked the boy under the table again.

"I almost forgot, there's also your favorite." Cheng Fei rummaged through the bag and pulled out a bottle of Want Want milk that he had bought on the way, took out a bottle, inserted a straw, and placed it in front of her.

“I don’t like this at all.” Shen Xi turned her face away.

"Okay, I'll drink it myself then." Cheng Fei took the drink back and took a sip.

A chill suddenly spread out, and the girl stared at him with a sharp, piercing gaze.

"Teacher Shen, you're too arrogant." Cheng Fei put the thing he had just taken a drag on back into its place.

The girl squinted her eyes as if she wanted to kill someone.

"I really can't do anything with you, don't worry, don't worry." Cheng Fei took back the bottle she had used and gave her a new one with a straw, placing it in front of her.

Shen Xi continued eating her sweet and sour pork, finishing half of it before calmly picking up a bottle of Want Want milk and stubbornly putting the straw in her mouth.

"Teacher Shen, are you happy?" Cheng Fei asked casually, eating dumplings with his head down.

"What's so exciting?" Shen Xi looked at him expressionlessly.

"I'm here to comfort and cheer you up. You must have been looking forward to this for a long time, right?" Cheng Fei dipped a dumpling in the broth from the chicken and mushroom stew.

The girl's face instantly turned pale with disgust. She put down her chopsticks and made to stand up. "That's enough. It's disgusting. I can't eat anymore."

……

153. Cheng Fei just wanted to study together.

"Teacher Shen, there's no need to be so arrogant. Everyone knows you like these foods." Cheng Fei stopped her.

"Then don't bother trying to force your imagination on me." The girl glared at him, then reluctantly picked up her chopsticks again.

"Teacher Shen, have you ever thought that besides me, there might never be anyone else in this world who would treat you this well?" Cheng Fei said casually, taking a bite of a chicken leg.

"Save your sentimental words until after you break up with that guy surnamed Lin. And firstly, it doesn't matter if no one is nice to me anymore. Secondly, who knows how many girls you'll treat like this when we're not looking?" Shen Xi sneered.

"So it really is only me who's good to you?" Cheng Fei exclaimed in surprise.

The girl frowned and raised her voice, "I said even if it is!"

"Okay, at least I'll only treat you like this, believe it or not." Cheng Fei slurped up a chicken skull.

"I'll take it seriously," Shen Xi scoffed.

"To be honest, even if I wanted to do that to other girls, I wouldn't have the time," the boy shook his head.

There are countless times when I can't see you; who knows what you're doing all day?

"Is this an indication that you want me to spend more time with you, Ms. Shen? I didn't expect you to be so attached to me."

"Don't dream about it." The girl gritted her teeth.

"By the way, Teacher Shen, did your alcohol allergy really leave you with any aftereffects?" Cheng Fei changed the subject.

"As expected of Cheng Feiyu, he keeps asking the same question over and over again." Shen Xi frowned.

"Really? I feel like you definitely have some symptoms." The boy stroked his chin and looked her over seriously. "Like dreaming about sleeping in my arms, or being held by me while shopping, or something like that."

The girl's face turned cold, and she kicked him under the table.

"Feeling guilty?"

"Shut up. I can't understand how your disgusting delusions can go on and on like this."

"I just study you whenever I have free time," Cheng Fei said seriously. "You probably don't know, but in my eyes you're a treasure."

"Please stop this endless mental abuse, or I really will call the police one day." Shen Xi covered her chest with her hands, looking disgusted.

"Don't say one thing and mean another; that would be really weird." Cheng Fei shook his head and put a piece of mushroom in his mouth.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, her disgust seeming to intensify.

……

After dinner, Cheng Fei put the takeout boxes back into the bag so he could easily throw them into the trash can.

"Why did you eat so much today?" Shen Xi noticed that the boy had eaten three boxes of dumplings by himself.

"I've been eating a lot lately," he said casually.

"He really is a pig."

"Being able to eat is a blessing, Teacher Shen. You're so frail because you eat too little at every meal." Cheng Fei looked her up and down. "But with me protecting you, you just need to be cute."

"Disgusting. Once you've eaten, hurry up and leave. Your presence here makes me feel very dangerous." Shen Xi stared at him coldly.

"Teacher Shen, do you think I came here today just to have a meal with you?"

"What else do you want to do?" The girl became extremely alert and quickly moved away from him, covering her chest with her hands.

“Teacher Shen, actually I’ve been wanting to give you a piece of advice.” Cheng Fei stared at her movements. “If I were to do something to you, you should protect your legs instead of your chest, really.”

"What did you say? Cheng Fei, don't push your luck!" Shen Xi's face changed instantly, her teeth clenched, showing a sense of anger and embarrassment.

"Just kidding." Cheng Fei picked up the bag he had brought with him that he had left on the sofa. "Let's go, Teacher Shen, to your room."

"Cheng Fei! Don't do anything reckless." The girl bit her lip and looked around.

The boy sighed, "Teacher Shen, you're exaggerating. Who do you think was the one who came to stay with you overnight when you were so scared you were about to cry?"

"That doesn't mean you can just barge in and do anything to me." Shen Xi gritted her teeth.

"Who's trying to take advantage of you? Be normal, okay? I just plan to study with you today." Cheng Fei patted his bag.

“The abnormal one is you. You’ve been trying to take advantage of me lately. You’ve run out of patience and shown your true colors. Don’t think I can’t see through you.” The girl still squinted warily.

Cheng Fei went to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of yogurt, handed one of them to her, and sighed, "I just wanted to get closer to you as soon as possible a few days ago. If you're not willing, then forget it."

Shen Xi stared at him with a flickering gaze, then remained silent for a moment before taking the yogurt.

"Teacher Shen, you're such a hassle. You clearly like someone but still keep your distance. This kind of relationship is decades outdated." The boy shook his head.

"So what they called 'letting it go' was just going back to using clumsy and unconvincing rhetoric to brainwash me." The girl, biting her straw to regain her composure, sneered.

"But I find your stubbornness quite endearing." Cheng Fei glanced at her and walked towards her room.

"stop."

"No way, I can't even say you're cute anymore?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

"Wait for me to change my clothes." The girl walked forward with a cold face.

Cheng Fei looked at her still-on-the-go Sakura school uniform and the black over-the-knee socks covering her legs, and said from behind, "Teacher Shen, if possible, could you please wear white over-the-knee socks or pantyhose for me to see? I'm begging you, really."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi stopped in her tracks. Then, under the boy's questioning gaze, she turned around and quickly walked up to him. Her pure, dark eyes were empty and lifeless. She took a deep breath, raised her foot, and unleashed a full-force attack.

"Hiss..." Cheng Fei had to admit that even fluffy slippers were not without their dangers.

The girl then gave a heavy snort, strode into her room, slammed the door shut, and locked it with a click.

After a while, the girl, dressed in her pajamas, opened the door expressionlessly and used her eyes to deter Cheng Fei, who was trying to squeeze in.

"Let's go to the study," she said, carrying a stack of books.

"Huh? Okay."

The two went to the next room with a large desk. Cheng Fei moved a chair and sat down next to the girl, took out his laptop, plugged it in, and started typing.

He said calmly, "Teacher Shen, I'm going to have a video call with Nana. You don't mind, do you?"

The girl abruptly raised her head, utterly disgusted. "It's true that any leniency I show you is just disgusting to myself. Please leave my house, right now."

"Don't say that, Teacher Shen. I came here specifically for this."

"You came here specifically to disgust me? That's enough." The girl was even more annoyed.

"How could that be? I was worried you'd be jealous and sulk, locking yourself in your room and not eating, so I came over to have dinner with you and then contact her in front of you, so you can relax." Cheng Fei said seriously.

"Talking nonsense." Shen Xi's brows furrowed.

"That's all there is to it, so please stay calm, Ms. Shen." Cheng Fei clasped his hands together.

The girl took a deep breath, lowered her head to read with a sullen face, and remained silent.

Cheng Fei then sent a video call invitation to Asuna Nagasaki.

"Good evening, Cheng Fei~" came the sweet voice of a girl from the other end.

Shen Xi frowned.

"Nana, just so you know, I'm currently at Shen Xi's house." Cheng Fei picked up his notebook and turned it around.
