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

"Understood, Your Highness. Please calm down and stop making a scene."

"I'm not making a scene!"

"Yes, yes, it was me who made a fuss."

"You piece of trash!"

……

After some pulling and tugging, it was finally difficult to move them to the bed.

"You can do other things, but you can't bother me, you can't move around... and you can't leave." After taking a few sips of her warm drink, the girl in her pajamas shrank under the covers, gave the boy her final warning, and then closed her eyes with a frown.

Cheng Fei sat on the edge of the bed, one hand on Shen Xi's back, silently observing the girl's beautiful and delicate face, feeling as if she was a hibernating little animal nestled next to him.

"So you just feel more comfortable sleeping with me like this?" After a moment, the boy couldn't help but ask.

No one responded in the silent room, and the girl's breathing had become even.

Cheng Fei reached out and touched her face, brushing aside her dark hair. He gazed at the girl's tightly closed, stubborn little mouth, then looked away after a moment.

"Shen Xi, you actually know how to make me think you're cute, right?"

The boy's soft sigh echoed in the room.

The girl, with her eyes closed, furrowed her brows slightly, almost imperceptibly.

……

In the pitch-black room, Nagasaki Asuna lay motionless on the bed until, at a certain moment, her phone beeped with a WeChat notification.

The girl quickly picked it up, the cold light from the screen illuminating her expressionless face.

"Cheng Fei, can I come to see you tonight?"

I'm at Shen Xi's house.

I received this reply.

The girl's slender fingertips tapped the screen as she typed text into the chat box.

"Not going back?" (Typed and then deleted.)

"Another routine meeting?" (Typed and then deleted.)

"Cheng Fei..." typed and then deleted.

The girl stared at the blank chat box for a long time before turning off the screen, tossing her phone aside, and clutching her chest, letting the room fall silent.

……

259. Shen Xi understands everything.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Shen Xi slowly opened her eyes in the darkness, feeling herself nestled in a warm embrace. She regained consciousness with a blank expression.

The boy beside me was leaning against the headboard, staring at his phone screen, the cold light illuminating his stern expression.

The girl squinted, and with an undeniable air, reached out her small hand and grabbed the boy's phone, holding that position motionless.

A moment later, the boy let go of her hand and handed her the phone, just as she had wished.

The girl straightened her aching and weak body, leaned against the boy's chest, rested her head on his shoulder, and started looking through his phone. She turned off the online class he was watching and switched to WeChat.

"Teacher Shen, so is our current embrace a continuation of that embrace?" Cheng Fei looked at Shen Xi's delicate face with her brows furrowed.

"You haven't let go, so of course it's a continuation," the girl said, her voice muffled as she stared at her phone.

"I doubt most couples are this clingy."

"Shut up. Your task now is to hold me and stop having these crazy fantasies. There's nothing more between us. I already said this is a special case."

"It's amazing, now even carrying you has become a mission."

Shen Xi sneered, "If you're unwilling, you can just say so. I'll terminate the agreement with you. Anyway, it was your request to hug me once a week. I'm just reluctantly cooperating with you."

"I'd rather not unscrew it, and if possible, I hope it never will. Besides, it doesn't matter whether it's forced or not, as long as you're happy, my little cutie."

"nausea."

"Formulaic thinking is disgusting, but it's also cute."

The girl kicked him with her delicate white foot, held the phone in front of him, and said coldly, "Cheng Fei, please explain what this is?"

"What? What?" Cheng Fei saw the chat history with Nagasaki Asuna from not long ago.

"So she stayed at your house at night." The girl's sharp gaze pierced him.

"Shen Xi, let me confirm first, are you jealous and throwing a tantrum, or do you simply want to know what's going on?" Cheng Fei carefully chose his words.

"I've said it countless times, I'm never jealous." The girl gave a cold laugh.

"Yes, yes, you are the embodiment of the goddess of wisdom, how could you be jealous?" The boy hugged her soft back. "Okay, I admit it, she did stay there."

"As expected." The girl took a deep breath, her expression turning cold.

"But she only went once, and we didn't do anything else."

"Cheng Fei, do you think I'd be stupid enough to believe such nonsense?" The girl twisted her body.

"Shen Xi, really, she only went once, and we're completely innocent," the boy quickly reassured him. "To a large extent."

"To a large extent." The girl lowered her head and chuckled.

"Teacher Shen, so from what standpoint are you interrogating me now, my girlfriend? It's kind of cute to feel like a little animal snuggling in my arms asking me questions."

"Shut up. There's no one here who's your girlfriend, and forget about your disgusting fantasies. I was just curious, so I asked. You can refuse if you don't want to answer." The girl buried her face in his chest as if she was about to leave at any moment.

"I'll tell you if you want to know, Shen Xi. I hope the trust between us can continue."

"Then please explain what this is again?" The girl tapped the screen, then held the phone in front of him, staring intently at his face with a fierce look.

The boy looked down and saw his chat history with Lin Xuanqi.

"Come to South Bay tomorrow"

"OK"

"If you beg me, maybe you can wear your school uniform."

"Please, Xuanqi, you know I love the way you look in your school uniform."

"I can't do anything with you, I'll give in to you."

"Xuanqi, I love you!"

"Is there anything I need to explain, Teacher Shen?" the boy said calmly.

"Please tell me honestly, what did you do with her?" The girl narrowed her eyes.

"What did you do?" the boy asked, glancing sideways.

"No wonder she was talking so strangely that day." The girl took a deep breath, her eyes flickering.

"Teacher Shen, you're being a bit paranoid."

"Cheng Fei, do you think I can't see through you?" Shen Xi's body trembled slightly, as if she was extremely disgusted. "You even like her when she wears her school uniform. Sure enough, your brain is full of these filthy things."

"Teacher Shen, these are just words to make her happy," the boy said seriously.

"Call me by my name, look me in the eyes." The girl stared at him with a stern gaze. "Cheng Fei, did you do that kind of shameless and despicable thing with her?"

The air in the room fell silent for a moment.

"Shen Xi, I have to go this far to gain her trust. This is also the task you gave me. You won't be angry, will you?" The boy looked at the girl in his arms.

She turned her face away and sneered, "What do I have to be angry about? Anyway, it's none of my business if some people are fickle and unfaithful in relationships."

"Is it really unrelated, Shen Xi? What exactly are you trying to say now, or is this just part of your curiosity?"

"Of course, what else?" the girl said in a muffled voice. "So Cheng Fei, do you still remember what we agreed on? Why are you with her?"

"Of course I remember, pursuing her and then dumping her to prove that I love you."

"I hope you will always remember this and fulfill it well." The girl buried her face in her hands.

"Of course, don't worry."

"It's fine if you don't fulfill it, anyway I'm not expecting anything, please get that straight." The girl snorted and added.

"Shen Xi, you're being too awkward..." the boy sighed.

"What did you say?" The girl looked up, her eyes narrowing.

"Nothing much, so I passed this week's interrogation?"

"First of all, there was no interrogation, and it was agreed that we could look at each other's phones. I was just exercising my rights. You can cancel it at any time if you don't want to."

"Yes, yes, I begged Her Highness the Princess to do it."

Shen Xi kicked him again, somewhat annoyed, "Just say you don't want to bother us, anyway we have no relationship."

"Teacher Shen, please stop kicking. It's fine normally, but it's really dangerous for you to be barefoot now. What if I catch you like this?"

The girl's legs, which were hidden under the covers, suddenly curled up. "Cheng Fei, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless."

"Even if I'm going to do something reckless, I'll discuss it with you beforehand, so don't worry, my little darling." The boy looked at her with a hint of doting in his eyes.

"Stop your disgusting sweet talk. Don't think that I'll grant you your filthy, shameful fantasies. I absolutely won't allow it." The girl gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"First of all, what you're saying is too exaggerated, Teacher Shen. Secondly, I definitely won't do anything reckless unless you agree." The boy continued to stare at her.

"I hope it's not just a nice way of saying it." The girl turned her face away again and half-buried herself in his arms.

Looking at her weak and powerless appearance, the boy sighed, "Teacher Shen, although you are usually cute when you are aloof, this soft and sweet feeling you have today is absolutely too cute."

"I told you to shut up. I already said this is just a special case, a special response. Please delete your memory afterward." The girl twisted her body.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, our aquatic mammal memory system cannot be freely deleted or modified, unlike yours, the Protoss." The boy said seriously.

"So they're just stupid aquatic mammals," the girl scoffed.

……

260. Just the two of them in tenderness.

"Let's put that aside for now. By the way, Ms. Shen, are you hungry? It's almost nine o'clock and we haven't had dinner yet." The boy glanced out the window. "By the way, although I am a little hungry, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay in this state for a while longer."

After he finished speaking, there was no response in the quiet room.

"Teacher Shen?"

"I don't object," the girl's clear, cool voice rang out.

"Not against what?"

"I don't object to maintaining this for a while longer, because the situation is special today."

"So you really need me today, right, Shen Xi?"

"It's okay without you, it's always been like this anyway."

"But having me to rely on makes you feel much better?"

"It must be admitted that the human body on Earth is extremely weak."

"So you need me?"

"Are you asking the same question over and over again? Can't you even remember something in seven seconds? Cheng Feiyu."

"I just want to hear your straightforward answer. If possible, please tell me."

"..." The girl lowered her head.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk, you don't have to pretend to be asleep." The boy looked down at her.

The girl raised her head, stared at him expressionlessly, and paused for a second before saying, "I need you now, Cheng Fei. Are you satisfied now?"
