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

"Teacher Shen, it'll be done soon," he casually said to the aloof girl who was engrossed in her book.

Shen Xi didn't even look up.

Cheng Fei returned to his room, sat down in a chair, plugged in a USB drive to the computer, and set the boot order in the BIOS.

The door clicked shut again and was locked from the inside.

Asuna Nagasaki walked over to the boy and watched from the sidelines with her hands behind her back.

The room was quiet.

Cheng Fei stared at the screen and used the keyboard to make settings.

"Nana".

"Ok?"

"Kneel down."

Nagasaki Asuna first widened her eyes in disbelief, then her gaze softened.

"Okay~" The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice extremely obedient and soft, and she reached behind her back to untie something.

Cheng Fei completed the setup, pressed Enter to start installing the system, and watched the progress bar gradually increase. This process would take a while.

"By the way, Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna said, her head down, focused on what she was doing.

"what?"

"Was that hat a gift from Cheng Fei?"

Is there a problem?

"I'm a little concerned about it."

"Didn't I also give you a scarf?"

"That's right, and Cheng Fei's clothes match hers very well today."

"You really don't miss any details. If we have another date, I can coordinate our outfits."

"Good~"

"Nana".

"Hmm?" The girl continued moving, looked up at him, her bright eyes clear and innocent.

"I told you to get along with her, not to provoke her, do you hear me?" The boy played with her cheek.

"Okay, Nana will be good~" The girl smiled sweetly and obediently, and took the initiative to rub her hand against the boy's palm.

After some time, Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna returned to the living room one after the other.

"Teacher Shen, it's all done. Shall we go for a visit?" the boy asked, not without pride.

Shen Xi glanced at him, her face indifferent. "I have no interest in entering other people's rooms." She closed her book and said, "Now that you're done, let's go."

"It's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner?" Nagasaki Asuna leaned closer, smiling as she looked at her.

Seemingly to avoid exposing herself, the girl used one hand to press down on the neckline of her tank top, which was slightly lower than her head.

Faced with her enthusiastic attitude, Shen Xi subconsciously leaned back, frowned, and hesitated to speak.

"Teacher Shen, why don't we just accept your offer? Anyway, it'll just be the three of us eating out," Cheng Fei said casually.

"I bought the ingredients for sukiyaki, and it'll be ready to eat soon after a little preparation," Nagasaki Asuna added.

"By the way, sukiyaki is a Japanese-style beef hot pot, similar to a hot pot with various ingredients..." Cheng Fei said seriously.

"Shut up, I know." Shen Xi glared at him, then nodded reluctantly. "Okay."

"Then I'll go prepare right away." Nagasaki Asuna strode towards the kitchen.

Cheng Fei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go help too."

Shen Xi remained seated, reading her book with an indifferent expression.

A moment later, Nagasaki Asuna placed some of the ingredients on the table next to her.

Shen Xi turned her head and looked down at the girl's small, round knees.

Her skin, which was originally fair and flawless, had become somewhat red for some reason.

Asuna Nagasaki left, humming an unknown tune, seemingly in a good mood.

Shen Xi stared at the book, her eyes narrowed, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

She put down her book, got up, and walked towards the kitchen where the two of them were, her steps lighter than ever before.

The kitchen door is a sliding frosted glass door, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside.

She gripped the handle, took a deep breath, and slid it open forcefully.

"Huh, that's strange, I clearly remember putting the candy here..."

Nagasaki Asuna was kneeling on the floor next to the stove, her head peering into the storage cabinet below, searching for something, and muttering to herself.

Cheng Fei is washing vegetables in the sink.

The two men turned to look at her when they heard the door open.

"Are you hungry? It'll be ready soon," Nagasaki Asuna said, kneeling on the ground.

“Teacher Shen, would you like to come and help? I know you feel bad about just sitting there doing nothing,” Cheng Fei said.

A few minutes later, the situation became that the aloof girl with long black hair stood in front of the sink washing vegetables with a displeased look, Cheng Fei used chopsticks to skewer a tomato, roasted it on the gas stove, and then peeled it, while Nagasaki Asuna continued to rummage through her seasonings.

"Why can't I find it..."

"Nana, how come someone as good at cooking as you can't find the right seasonings one day?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

"There's nothing we can do if we can't find it sometimes," the girl replied casually.

Fortunately, Nagasaki Asuna was eventually found, so Cheng Fei didn't have to run downstairs to buy her.

The sukiyaki for the three of them was served amidst a subtle atmosphere of rising steam.

"There's something I'd like to say," Shen Xi suddenly put down her chopsticks, her face expressionless.

Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna both looked at her.

"I'm planning to disband the Reality Band." The aloof girl's gaze swept over the two of them.

……

163. Cheng Fei expressed his opposition.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

"Why?" Cheng Fei asked, biting into a mushroom.

"The original purpose of this project was to help you understand the reality of the corridor. Now that you've come to terms with reality," Shen Xi looked directly at the boy, "this project has lost its meaning, hasn't it?"

“That seems to make sense.” Cheng Fei thought for a moment and didn’t refute it.

“Moreover, too much manpower and resources have been invested in this matter, so I think it is a wise choice to terminate it in time.” Shen Xi looked down at the bowl.

"I have no objection," Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Um, actually I'd like to continue, if it's possible," Nagasaki Asuna said.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Cheng Fei and landed on Shen Xi's puzzled face. "I want to try singing on stage again."

"I'm sorry, I have no obligation to do this kind of thing with you," Shen Xi said coldly, her eyes lowered.

“Teacher Shen,” Cheng Fei said seriously, “Since Nana thinks this way, then if I may be so bold, I also think it would be better to continue.”

"You mean she wants to, so you're going to oppose me?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes. "Cheng Fei, what are you going to do?"

"After all, she is both the lead singer and bassist, which is the hardest job in the band. If we just casually ask her to join the band and then casually disband it, Mr. Shen, even if I feel good about bringing her here, would you feel good about it?" the boy said casually.

Shen Xi stared coldly at his face, biting her lip lightly.

"And have you asked Ye Shuang for her opinion? Teacher Shen, although you are the captain and have the right to make decisions, now that the band has been formed, everyone has put in a lot of effort. I suggest that we should consider everyone's feelings." After Cheng Fei finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of soup and drank it.

Shen Xi lowered her head, her hand holding the chopsticks slowly clenching.

Nagasaki Asuna watched silently from the other side, her slender hand pressed against her chest, her eyes softening in the mist, as if she could feel a touch of warmth there.

After a long silence, Shen Xi spoke in a flat tone, "Alright, let's continue with the original theme. The band will continue until they attract 100,000 viewers online."

"Teacher Shen, I knew you were a good friend." Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief and put a shrimp into her bowl.

Dinner is over.

After filling their stomachs, Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna discussed some issues related to deep learning, then said goodbye to Shen Xi.

"Nana, thank you for your hospitality today," the boy said, standing at the door.

Asuna Nagasaki stared at Shen Xi, who had no expression on her face, and suddenly stepped forward and gave her a bear hug.

"What are you doing?!" Shen Xi tried to break free in a panic, but unfortunately, her physical attributes were completely suppressed by Nagasaki Asuna, so she had no chance.

"Shen Xi, how about we come again next time?" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her shoulder and smiled.

"I'm not interested, please let go!" Shen Xi struggled angrily.

Cheng Fei yawned, his hands in his pockets.

Asuna Nagasaki released Shen Xi, took a step back, hid her hands behind her back, and smiled, "It's too cold outside, so I won't see you off. Take care, both of you."

On the way back, Cheng Fei tried to strike up a conversation with Shen Xi.

"Teacher Shen, what were you trying to say at the entrance of the residential area earlier?"

The girl kept her mouth tightly shut and completely ignored him.

He had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Fei escorted the girl downstairs, waved goodbye, and said, "Goodnight, Teacher Shen."

"Good night, Cheng Fei." Shen Xi stared at him with an ambiguous expression.

The boy put his hands in his pockets and disappeared from the girl's sight.

On the way back, Cheng Fei received a message from his tea ceremony teacher on WeChat.

"Cheng Fei"

"look"

"What was stuck inside dried out."

Attached is a photo showing the separation of the turbulent ravine.

"Go take a shower quickly, thank you."

Cheng Fei replied.

"I'm a little reluctant to wash it."

That's enough.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Shen Xi returned home alone, took a shower, and stood in front of the vanity mirror to blow-dry her hair.

Staring blankly at herself in the mirror, the girl's eyes flickered. Suddenly remembering something, she unbuttoned a few buttons on her pajamas.

The girl pursed her lips and frowned.

She tried to lift it from below, and then pushed it from both sides towards the middle.

The effect was negligible.

The flat hills will probably never turn into deep trenches in my lifetime.

Of course, it's meaningless and unnecessary; such things are just a burden.

Realizing this, she impatiently buttoned up her clothes, left the bathroom, and returned to her bedroom.

As usual, she sat on the edge of the bed reading until nearly midnight, when the girl turned off the light and lay down.
