267. The boy shouted her name.

"Does Cheng Fei really see me as just a tool to be used when needed and discarded when not? But even tools need to be cared for, and it seems like Cheng Fei values ​​others more than me..."

"I feel like Cheng Fei is the most biased towards Shen Xi. Although it seems to make sense, Cheng Fei and she are kindred spirits, so they have a lot in common and many secrets. In the end, I'm just an ordinary person, only deserving occasional concern..."

"What exactly is Cheng Fei trying to get out of me? I just can't figure it out. Or is it that Cheng Fei just finds it amusing to watch me get played like this from beginning to end...?"

"Does Cheng Fei get happier the more difficult I am? I don't believe Cheng Fei is like that, but lately I can't help but wonder, what am I to Cheng Fei? If only I could read minds..."

"Cheng Fei, I actually want to be told I'm cute by you every day, I want to tell you my hands are cold, and I want to know your secrets, but it seems like I can't get any of those things..."

"So, Cheng Fei, please forgive me for being a little willful this time. Since you don't love me, I'm quitting the club and band this time. And please don't contact me anymore..."

"I'm very greedy; I don't want to continue being just a puppet that Cheng Fei calls to the corridor and uses at will..."

"When I come back next year, if Cheng Fei is still willing to let me play the female lead then, how about you treat me to Japanese food at the electronics district again...?"

"Assuming nothing unexpected happens after this year, will Cheng Fei be sad or worried about me because of this? If I can be cared for by Cheng Fei in this way, it seems quite nice..."

"Don't even think about coming to see me, Cheng Fei. It's a waste of your energy. I won't see Cheng Fei anymore, because seeing him will only make things more painful..."

"Cheng Fei, do you remember I once said I could buy you for just two million? That's no longer possible, because there's another clause in the artist contract stipulating that you must pay ten times the amount of the losses caused to the company as liquidated damages, and the higher amount will be used for calculation..."

"Sister Yan said that because the entire project was built around me, the operational costs totaled tens of millions. If I breach the contract now, it will become a penalty of hundreds of millions. It's strange, right? I've suddenly become so valuable..."

"I know that Cheng Fei has become rich after he got together with Lin. Maybe that's why Cheng Fei doesn't value me anymore. But even Cheng Fei couldn't possibly come up with that much money, right...?"

"So no matter what, we have to follow the company's requirements for the next two years. I wonder how Cheng Fei will feel when he sees this. If he regrets it, to be honest, it feels a bit like I'm getting revenge on Cheng Fei. Shen Xi is sometimes right, I can be quite wicked..."

"Anyway, that's it for now, Cheng Fei. Goodbye. I'll try my best to hold on until the day we meet again. I hope we can meet again. Will you be kind to me then, or will you have already forgotten me? Goodbye, it was great to meet you, Cheng Fei..."

"Nagasaki Asuna"

"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, who wrote this love letter?" Zhou Han's voice suddenly rang out.

A petite girl appeared before the boy at some point, observing him with concern.

"I don't know him." Cheng Fei said expressionlessly, stuffing the letter, with faint tear stains visible, into his pocket.

“Oh.” Zhou Han stared at his movements.

"Did you see when this letter was put in?" the boy asked, looking up.

The group exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"It must have been just now, right? People usually hand out love letters while everyone's out eating," Du Xinhua said.

"Zhou Han, please ask for leave for me this afternoon. Just say I have a cold." After saying that, the boy turned and left.

"Huh? Okay." Zhou Han nodded without thinking.

"Is this kid alright?" Chen Hao peered out at the boy's back.

"This love letter seems unusual," Du Xinhua pondered.

"Could it have been written by the student council president?" Chen Hao clenched his fist.

"Why did you think of the student council president?" Du Xinhua asked, glancing sideways.

"Because the student council president is also a top-tier beauty with a good family background. She is the only beautiful girl in Yinghua who can rival Lin Xuanqi."

"I advise you to stop spreading rumors here," Du Xinhua said, shaking his head.

……

Cheng Fei walked out of the classroom and first opened the system to check.

[Nana's check-in duration → 124 days]

There was no interruption.

The boy took a deep breath in silence, his gaze hardening.

Amidst the various gazes of the passing Sakura students, the boy strode out of the school gate and took out his phone to make a call.

First I called Nagasaki Asuna, and as expected, the line was busy.

Then I made another call.

"Sister Yan..."

"I am Cheng Fei..."

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you in person..."

……

in the afternoon.

In the long corridor connecting the second-floor waiting hall, a girl with a black knit sweater covering a pleated skirt and black over-the-knee socks stopped, pulling a heavy suitcase. The main urban area of ​​Academy City at the end of her vision looked somewhat strange through the dark sunshade glass.

She lowered her head and sighed softly, biting her lip and rubbing the cream-colored scarf wrapped around her neck before walking forward expressionlessly.

The girl's extraordinary appearance attracted the attention of passersby wherever she went, but her sweet features could not hide her haggardness, and her absent-minded appearance was pitiful.

A tall, foreign woman walked towards them, brushing past the frail young girl.

"Are you alright?" The foreign woman looked down at her coldly.

The girl rubbed her shoulder, shook her head, and continued dragging her suitcase forward.

"Attention station staff, the train from Academy City to Nishiki City will be boarding in five minutes. Please be prepared..." Such an announcement echoed in my ears.

The girl, who was walking with her head down, unconsciously quickened her pace.

A dozen ticket gates lined up in the spacious waiting hall, and the young girl wandered aimlessly through the crowd, searching for her destination.

Just then, a faint shout came from somewhere behind them.

"...!"

There seemed to be a young voice shouting a name.

The surrounding passengers couldn't help but look up in the direction from which the shout came.

A panting boy was running towards them, a hint of anxiety on his incredibly handsome face.

He seemed to have been running for a long time; a few strands of black hair on his forehead were damp with sweat and stuck to his forehead. He held his coat in his hand, and the collar of his white shirt was open, revealing not only his heart-pounding collarbone but also his violently heaving pectoral muscles.

The girls closest to the camera only caught a glimpse of it and nearly fainted, covering their mouths in shock.

"Asuna Nagasaki!"

"Stop right there!"

The boy shouted with all his might at the figure standing directly in front of him.

……

268. Your life belongs to me.

The girl dragging her suitcase paused at the shout, her slender fingers clenched into a fist, and she slowly turned her head. As soon as her gaze fell on the boy's figure, her eyes flickered as if she were startled, and she hurriedly dragged her suitcase and ran forward.

She ran, and the boy chased after her.

"Asuna Nagasaki!"

"stop!"

The stumbling girl moved much slower than the boy, and the distance between them quickly closed.

The other passengers all watched this scene.

If it were a hideous man chasing a fleeing girl, someone might step forward to stop him.

When the scene shifted to a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman, everyone instinctively looked on in disbelief.

"Asuna Nagasaki!"

"I told you to stop right there!"

With an almost commanding tone, Cheng Fei shouted at the girl's back, which was right in front of him.

The girl's body stopped uncontrollably, and she slowly turned around.

The moment their eyes met, Nagasaki Asuna clutched her chest tightly with her slender hand.

The girl's clear, bright eyes trembled. She retreated step by step, lowered her head, and pleaded in a low voice, "Cheng Fei, please don't come any closer, please, please don't come any closer, I've already..."

The boy took a deep breath to calm himself, stared at the girl with a resolute look, and strode towards her.

He dialed a number on his phone and placed it in front of the girl.

Asuna Nagasaki looked up, her moist eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Nana, I'm giving you a choice now." Cheng Fei gazed at her face, which was on the verge of tears.

"Tell Sister Yan that you agree to terminate the contract."

"Then, entrust the rest of your life to me."

"What does it mean to entrust your life to Cheng Fei?"

"It means be my cat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nagasaki Asuna's clear and bright eyes widened for the first time ever, and tears welled up uncontrollably, sliding down her sweet face.

"Huh?!"

"But, but there are so many penalties for breach of contract..."

"no!"

"Why is Cheng Fei only saying this now...?"

An indescribable turmoil spread across her face. Her heavy suitcase thudded to the ground. The girl shook her head violently. A fleeting tear reflected in the bright dome of the waiting room. She withdrew her outstretched hand midway, as if there was some invisible wall between them.

"I will pay the penalty for breach of contract." Cheng Fei gazed at her, his words soft but firm.

"But what will Chengfei do with so much money..."

"No buts." The young man interrupted her with an air of absolute authority. "Now all you need to do is say that you agree to terminate the contract."

The already connected phone was handed to Nagasaki Asuna.

The girl stared at the screen, swallowed hard, her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air. She shook her head frantically, her voice trembling, "No! If Cheng Fei wants me back, I... I'll come back to find you next year, okay? We can add each other back as friends and meet online. Now is not the time to do anything foolish..."

"As long as you say you agree to terminate the contract, the penalty will be paid immediately, whether it's millions, a hundred million, or even tens or hundreds of billions." The boy's confident tone was as if he were stating a self-evident theorem.

Asuna Nagasaki stared at his face, feeling as if the whole world was spinning upside down and becoming blurry.

"How...how could this be..." The girl slapped her tear-streaked face hard, as if she doubted that she was hallucinating.

“Just think of it as a spell,” the boy whispered.

"A spell...?" The girl's expression became blank.

"After I say this, all the penalties for breach of contract will be nullified. The price is that your entire life belongs to me. Do you accept?" Cheng Fei's gaze enveloped her, his deep eyes revealing unprecedented greed, ambition, possessiveness... countless emotions she had never sensed in the boy before.

"Really...is it okay?"

"Believe me."

"Then I...accept." Nagasaki Asuna stopped thinking, as if her soul had been seized.

She slowly took the phone, placed both hands to her ears, and said, "Hello..."

"I am Yan Nan." A familiar yet indifferent female voice came from the other end.

"I...I agree to terminate the contract, but I want to know..."

"Give the phone to Cheng Fei," Yan Nan interrupted the worried girl.

The boy took the phone. "This is Cheng Fei."
