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

"Now that you've added me back on WeChat, let's get along well," Cheng Fei said, patting her head.

"Does Cheng Fei really think that she and I can get along well?" The girl looked up.

"If it was possible before, why can't it be possible now?"

"Because of Cheng Fei."

"So the problem was with me?"

"Even if I were willing, she wouldn't be."

"She was willing."

"Cheng Fei, stop lying to me."

"I've explained your usefulness to her, and she's accepted it." Cheng Fei turned down the heat to prevent the foam from boiling the noodles from overflowing the pot.

"Use value?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up and blinked thoughtfully.

“Yes, finding a new continent isn’t enough for just her and me; you can be a valuable helper.” Cheng Fei scooped the noodles out and rinsed them in ice water.

"So, who does Cheng Fei want to choose?" the girl asked suddenly, tilting her head.

"Compared to a great cause, such trivial matters should not be asked."

“Cheng Fei is avoiding the problem.” Nagasaki Asuna stood on tiptoe to make sure the boy couldn’t ignore her presence.

"Escaping may be shameful, but it's useful. This is a drama from your island nation. By the way, I really like the female lead in it."

"Does Cheng Fei like Yui Aragaki?"

"She has always been my goddess."

Am I not prettier than her?

"You? You're at most Saito Asuka, you're still too green."

"Does Cheng Fei not like young girls?"

"To tell you the truth, Nana, I've locked my heart away from love ever since Yui Aragaki got married." Cheng Fei took her off his body and put her aside. He then added soup and noodles to each of the bowls containing seasonings, and finally topped them with tomato and egg.

"Cheng Fei, aren't you as cunning as you? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Nagasaki Asuna stared at him relentlessly.

"What do I have to feel guilty about? Don't worry, Nana. Whether you become a real idol or give up halfway, I will always support you as your best friend..."

The boy had barely finished speaking when he was silenced by a sweet scent that seemed to possess a fierce power.

After a while, a slender ray of silver light fell and vanished in the air.

"If Cheng Fei is so capable, then treat me as a good friend for life." Nagasaki Asuna gave a defiant snort and walked away with her bowl of noodles.

……

Meanwhile, a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sat in front of her vanity mirror, combing her hair.

My phone suddenly rang; I received a message from Nagasaki Asuna on WeChat.

"So, a settlement?"

Shen Xi replied expressionlessly.

"I'm just reluctantly taking someone's advice."

“He here.”

A few seconds later, messages popped up on both of their screens almost simultaneously.

"Fox spirit"

"Truly aloof and superior"

Then, they all fell silent again, as if by prior agreement.

Shen Xi silently long-pressed the last two messages, selected to delete the record, and then changed the other party's nickname to "vixen".

……

On the second day after setting sail, the group still spent a lot of time manually calculating the corridor coordinates to increase the training volume of the model.

"For the pain of all those who cling to love..."

"For all the wounds caused by clinging to hatred..."

"I can no longer distinguish between love and hate..."

"Is this how it ends..."

"Blood and tears slid down together..."

"My heart is broken and weathered..."

In the reception area, Nagasaki Asuna hummed a song leisurely while doing her work.

Shen Xi remained expressionless.

Cheng Fei acted as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Nagasaki sings so beautifully, waaaah..." Only Miriam, who was completely unaware of what was going on, was deeply moved.

Ye Shuang, dressed in a white tracksuit, came down the corridor, placed a comic book in front of Cheng Fei, and casually raised her chin at the boy, "Come here."

He finished speaking and turned to leave without explaining.

"Huh?" Cheng Fei was completely confused, but he got up and followed her.

The two of them went one after the other to the outside of the upper deck, where there was an empty circular area with an H symbol drawn on the floor, which was a helicopter landing pad.

Ye Shuang walked to the center, suddenly twisted her body, and delivered a high back kick without warning, her pink and white sneakers sweeping towards Cheng Fei's temple.

The boy instinctively bent his arm to block, feeling a sharp pain in his arm. He looked at the small, fair ankle that was almost touching his face and felt a chill run down his spine.

If he had been kicked in that way, he would probably have fallen asleep immediately.

"Master Ye, why did you resort to sneak attacks?" Cheng Fei looked at the twin-tailed girl with a cold, scrutinizing expression in shock.

"Barely passable." Ye Shuang clenched her fist impatiently, her knuckles cracking. "I'll start teaching you mixed martial arts today."

"Huh?" the boy exclaimed in surprise.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Didn't you want to learn?" Ye Shuang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "If I don't teach you, you'll be no different from a street thug."

Cheng Fei was startled. "Great! By the way, what is mixed martial arts?"

"Mixed martial arts isn't any particular style; it's wrestling, judo, karate, sanda—whatever works best." The girl with pigtails raised her chin.

"So impressive? No wonder Master Ye has so many moves, I like it." Cheng Fei rubbed his hands together, eager to try. "Then which style should we start with, Tai Chi?"

"I won't teach you any style." The girl said, suddenly adopting a Muay Thai stance and unleashing a fierce combination of punches at the boy, followed by elbow strikes and knee strikes.

The girl's soft body was like a murder weapon, each move as fast as lightning.

Cheng Fei quickly focused his attention on dealing with the situation.

"I'll teach you the basics of striking, grappling, ground fighting, and defensive techniques. You can learn the specific styles yourself."

As Ye Shuang spoke, she launched an attack. Even though Cheng Fei had secretly learned a lot of moves from her before, and the difference in their attributes had become much smaller, he still couldn't handle it.

Finally, the girl used a skillful hook kick to trip Cheng Fei, followed by a side triangle choke to completely subdue him.

It's worth mentioning that the triangle twist involves tightly clamping the neck and one arm between the thighs, which can create the illusion of a beautiful girl with twin ponytails riding on your head from an outsider's perspective.

Miriam, who had come to watch, was drooling.

Unfortunately, Cheng Fei didn't experience any benefits at all. Being controlled by the deadly jujitsu made him feel like he was seeing heaven for a moment.

Ye Shuang loosened her grip and looked down at the boy who had raised his hands in surrender, revealing a kind smile. "There's one more thing, Cheng Fei. Don't think you can challenge me just because you've secretly learned a move or two. From now on, if you dare to call me Ye Xiaoshuang again, I won't let you off the hook. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Master Ye." The young man nodded hurriedly, while making up his mind that he would ride her down (using contortionism) in the future, and would not only call her Ye Xiaoshuang, but also Ye Shuangshuang, and humiliate her severely.

"Alright, today I'll teach you some basic stances and boxing techniques." Ye Shuang stood up, her expression turning serious.

……

195. Reconciliation is highly unlikely.

The master and apprentice's teaching continued into the afternoon, ending when Cheng Fei was caught and twisted in the shoulder during a sparring session.

Dinner was once again prepared by Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna.

"Are Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang really together?" Asuna Nagasaki asked curiously as she prepared the food.

"Please don't use such strange descriptions. We've just reconciled." Cheng Fei said, looking at the slices of meat frying in the oil.

"Boys and girls really do reconcile easily."

"I don't think it has much to do with gender."

“Cheng Fei is handsome and smart. If he gets a little closer to Ye Shuang, how could she possibly resist?” Nagasaki Asuna said with certainty.

Am I a succubus?

"It was Cheng Fei. He clearly charmed Ye Shuang when he was helping her with her homework," Nagasaki Asuna recalled.

"Speaking of which, I am indeed a little curious." Cheng Fei stroked his chin and looked at the girl seriously. "Can you sense any changes in me recently?"

Asuna Nagasaki obediently looked up and met his gaze.

The lingering gazes of the boy and girl brought a moment of silence to the kitchen.

"Cheng Fei, you're going too far. Stop seducing me like this, or you'll ruin me." The girl looked away, lowered her head awkwardly, curled her hair with her fingertips, covered her chest, and let out a soft sigh, her tone somewhat reproachful.

"Never mind what I said." Cheng Fei continued frying the meat slices.

Nagasaki Asuna's favorability rating has gone way too high; even without the "Graceful and Refined" attribute, one can't stand being stared at by him.

After a few minutes.

"Nana, my classmate."

"Ok?"

"Did Shen Xi speak to you today?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

We chatted for a few minutes.

"how?"

"You called me a green tea b*tch." The girl said casually.

"I deeply regret it."

"Although I also criticized her for being pretentious."

"Ok."

"Cheng Fei, I don't think we can ever get along well in this lifetime." Nagasaki Asuna put the chopped vegetables aside.

"If all else fails, you can cut me in half," Cheng Fei said, mimicking her nonchalant tone.

"So, in Cheng Fei's heart now, I'm just as important as her?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes lit up with a hint of delight.

"I'm sorry, she's my love, you're just a good friend."

"How can a good friend share half with a beloved?" the girl said dismissively, pouting.

"My greatest strength is that I value friendship."

"Can't Cheng Fei just tell me a little bit..."

Asuna Nagasaki turned her head, and before she could finish her complaint, she suddenly shut her mouth and looked toward the door.

Cheng Fei looked over with a puzzled expression.

Under their gazes, the aloof girl with long, dark hair walked in expressionlessly.

"It's still early before lunch, Teacher Shen, are you hungry?" Cheng Fei asked.

“I’ll come and help.” Shen Xi’s gaze swept over the boy and landed on Nagasaki Asuna’s face. She added, “Starting today, come whenever you have time.”

"Huh?" Cheng Fei exclaimed in surprise.

"You don't want to?" Shen Xi frowned.
