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

Under the girl's puzzled gaze, the door slammed shut.

Shen Xi, who was squatting on the balcony, twitched her ears, stood up expressionlessly, walked quickly to Nagasaki Asuna, frowned, and said coldly, "What did he say?"

"You just said you'd be back soon?" Nagasaki Asuna looked at her.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, then strode towards the entrance. Without bothering to change her shoes, she stepped into the doorway in her slippers and approached the peephole.

Outside the door, the boy stood in front of the elevator with his hands in his pockets. When the elevator doors opened, he went in and pressed the button for the first floor.

Stepping out of the apartment, Cheng Fei arrived at the community's green belt, opening the system as he walked and selecting to exchange for Dawn Flowers.

The items in the shop can be divided into two types: one is unique, such as the system backend key, and the other is items that can be exchanged in large quantities, such as the Dawn Flower.

Cheng Fei even suspected that the Dawn Flowers he exchanged actually came from that island in the system dimension, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence for the time being.

384. Shen Xi did it on purpose.

Cheng Fei spent 101 points to exchange for a handful of white flowers with golden stamens. He wanted to use up the leftovers from the 99 flowers he exchanged last time, which had been bothering him for a long time.

After finishing his task, the boy casually returned the way he came, entered the apartment, and waited for the elevator to take him to the first floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a cool and aloof girl with long, dark hair rushed out, almost bumping into the boy.

He seemed energetic and lively, but at least in good spirits, completely unlike the dejected look he had on the balcony earlier.

"Teacher Shen?" Cheng Fei asked, surprised and uncertain.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and scanned the boy with sharp eyes, immediately noticing the white bouquet in his hand. She narrowed her eyes again, like a prosecutor who had discovered evidence of a crime.

"Wait a minute." The boy put the bouquet behind him, blocking the girl's outstretched hand.

"Cheng Fei, give it to me." The girl looked up and glared at the boy.

"You're being too impolite!" the boy asked, looking at her in surprise.

"Didn't you give this to me?" The girl frowned and stared at him intently.

For the first time since the two met, the girl showed a touch of spoiled arrogance.

Standing at the elevator entrance, Cheng Fei looked into her eyes and it took him a few seconds to realize what was happening.

"Teacher Shen, you plotted against me?" The boy stared at the girl's face in shock.

"So what? Hurry up and give it to me." Shen Xi stared intently at the flowers he was hiding behind his back.

"No," the boy said instinctively.

"Cheng Fei!" The girl looked up and raised her voice.

"Teacher Shen, I was trying to comfort you out of kindness, and you actually took advantage of my feelings. You're too scheming!" The boy seemed to have a completely new understanding of the girl in front of him.

"Cheng Fei, at least you still have some basic sincerity towards me, you haven't disappointed me." The girl let out a triumphant sneer.

"I've learned something. The Protoss Queen is not only cruel but also cunning." The boy's expression was complicated.

"You think you're the only one who can pull tricks?" the girl sneered without a hint of guilt. "Since you've brought it out, give it to me quickly."

"No."

"Why?" The girl frowned.

"I just don't really want to give it to you," the boy said, looking at her.

"Cheng Fei, I order you to give it to me." The girl raised her chin, her cold voice brooking no argument.

"Teacher Shen, don't you feel any remorse for lying to me like this?" the boy cried out in anguish.

"Please get this straight, who owes whom more?" The girl glared at him fiercely.

"Although I may have wronged you in some way, putting that aside, why don't you just be honest and ask me for the money if you want it?"

"So what if I'm frank? You'll just pretend to be crazy and fool me." The girl's pure, dark eyes seemed to see right through him.

The boy paused for a second, then said, "Nonsense..."

They started something but then fell silent again.

"Cheng Fei, I never thought you'd be unable to deny it." Shen Xi sneered coldly.

"Because I like you, I can't bring myself to argue with you," the boy sighed.

"Even at a time like this, you can't forget sweet talk." The girl's eyes flickered, and she kicked him.

"Just telling the truth." The boy shook his head with relief and handed over the bouquet of flowers. "Here you go, little cutie. You won this time, but don't do it again next time. It's unnecessary."

Shen Xi didn't immediately take the bouquet. Instead, she frowned and observed the boy's face, hesitatingly asking, "Are you angry?"

"How could that be? No, it's not true." The boy shook his head.

"Does a bouquet of flowers have to come at such a high price?" The girl became increasingly suspicious.

“Teacher Shen, you’re being too suspicious. I didn’t mean to blame you. Here, take the bouquet.” The boy handed her the bouquet.

Shen Xi and the boy looked at each other, and after a moment she slowly reached out and took the bouquet. She first picked it up and carefully examined every detail from top to bottom and left to right. Then she tentatively put the bouquet in front of her face, her smooth and delicate nose twitching as if confirming the scent.

The boy watched her actions with a doting expression. "Teacher Shen, you really are like a little animal. Are you satisfied now?"

Shen Xi frowned and met the boy's gaze, then turned her face away expressionlessly. "Thank you, I'm very satisfied, but please don't misunderstand. It wasn't to test whether you care about me or not, I was just confirming some suspicions. I won't do it again."

"Can you tell me your guess?" The boy put his hands in his pockets and leaned slightly closer to her.

"No." The girl took a half step back with a cold expression.

"Why?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"No reason, it's a secret." The girl avoided his gaze, her muffled voice carrying a subtle sense of revenge.

"You have secrets too? Okay." Cheng Fei looked at the girl's stubbornly closed lips and couldn't help but reach out and lift the long hair by her ear, his fingertips gently sliding through the smooth, dark hair.

Shen Xi frowned and glanced at the boy, then lowered her head in silence, holding the bouquet without resisting his touch.

At the elevator entrance, a subtle silence fell over the air.

"Um, although I don't want to interrupt you two, it would be better if you went home first after showing off your love?" A familiar voice rang out from the side.

Nagasaki Asuna had somehow gotten off the elevator next to them and was watching the two of them nonchalantly with her hands behind her back.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the stairwell, and a parent led a child in. Since the three of them were blocking one side of the elevator, they went into the other elevator. During this time, the child stared at the three of them.

"Let's go back." Shen Xi turned around and walked into the elevator behind her first.

Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna followed them inside.

Back on the 36th floor, Shen Xi opened the door, took a new pair of fluffy slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entryway, put them on the floor, stepped into them with her small feet encased in black over-the-knee socks, and left the slippers she had worn outside in place.

After entering the room, Cheng Fei put his hands on his hips and smacked his lips. "So, Teacher Shen, you deliberately watered the flowers too much just to kill them all and then pretend to be pitiful to fool me?"

"Yes, so what do you want now?" Shen Xi raised her chin expressionlessly, holding the bouquet tightly.

"Little cutie, don't be so tense. I spoil you, I won't do anything to you. I just didn't expect you to have such a big plan, and you actually fooled me." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"I've said before that there's a huge gap in intelligence between us." The girl turned her face away without changing her expression and flicked her hair.

"Tch, to be honest, you alone can't fool me." The boy curled his lip and glanced sideways, "But I didn't expect you to find some people to be your accomplices."

Nagasaki Asuna, standing behind, trembled slightly, lowered her head, bit her lip tightly, her gaze darting left and right, her hands twisting together behind her back like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

"Nana, do you have anything to say?" the boy asked, looking down at her.

“Cheng Fei, it was all Shen Xi who forced me to do it. She said she wouldn’t make things difficult for me as long as I listened to her. I thought that would improve the relationship between the three of us, so I…” Nagasaki Asuna carefully raised her head, blinked her clear and innocent eyes, and confessed without hesitation.

Shen Xi watched this scene from the sidelines, narrowing her eyes in disgust.

The boy's gaze darted back and forth between the two, first looking at Shen Xi, "Teacher Shen, let's talk later."

After saying that, he grabbed Nagasaki Asuna's wrist and pulled her towards the room, saying casually, "You come here."

385. Nagasaki Asuna was a favorite.

Nagasaki Asuna pressed one hand to her chest, letting Cheng Fei pull her along.

Shen Xi stood there watching the two enter the room, then walked to the sofa with a blank expression and sat down, staring at the bouquet of flowers in her hands, lost in thought.

Cheng Fei pulled Nagasaki Asuna into her room and pinned her behind the door.

“Cheng Fei, classmate…” The girl lowered her head, stood straight with her hands behind her back, not daring to move, like a primary school student being punished.

"She wasn't eavesdropping, was she?" the boy asked casually.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up and blinked.

"Idiot, can't you feel it?" the boy asked, looking at her.

Nagasaki Asuna quickly listened intently, "There shouldn't be?"

"That's good." The boy casually lifted her cardigan, pressed it against her through her school uniform shirt, and pinched her sweet face, which was hidden by her long brown hair, to examine it from side to side.

The actions were so ruthless and even rough that they didn't seem to treat a delicate and beautiful girl like a puppet. If one of the guys in Sakura who saw Nagasaki Asuna's smile as a beacon of light and hope saw this, they would probably rush up and fight to the death.

The island student, treated this way, not only did not resist, but even his gaze was extremely obedient. He obediently let the boy turn his face around like a toy. His pouting face, caused by his fair cheeks being pinched from both sides, was both cute and funny.

"Cheng Fei, what's wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze becoming hazy. Because she was being held down forcefully, her heart was pounding deep in her chest, and the tips of her ears, hidden in her hair, were also burning hot.

"Nothing, it's just that I feel my Nana is getting prettier and prettier lately." The boy casually savored the girl's sweet scent, which made her expression even more uneasy.

Nagasaki Asuna, dressed up meticulously, is just as beautiful as Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi.

"Does Cheng Fei like Nana the way she is now?" The girl pursed her lips, as if she hadn't had enough, and her unblinking eyes clearly reflected the boy's figure.

"Of course, you do look even better with long hair." The young man gently stroked her head.

"I understand, Nana will get it to be the same length as Shen Xi's." Nagasaki Asuna snuggled into the boy's arms, took a deep breath, and looked up. "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Because Nana is a pampered cat, and pampered cats become beautiful." The girl blinked her innocent eyes.

"There's such a thing as idealism?"

“It’s not idealism at all.” Nagasaki Asuna shook her head seriously and counted on her fingers. “Cheng Fei asked me to spend money, so I spent a lot of money on hair care, and bought very expensive skin care and cosmetic products. I also bought clothes and shoes as long as I thought Cheng Fei liked them. Each item cost tens of thousands of dollars, and I dressed myself up like a pretty cat.”

"I see. So what's on your lips?" The boy pinched her chin, observing the girl's small, translucent, cherry-pink lips.

“It’s lip balm. Nana guesses that Cheng Fei will like a more natural look, so… what do you think?” Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head in agreement, her mouth slightly open.

"It looks delicious, I'll try it."

"Ugh..." The girl pressed her hands against the back of the door, initially trying to find a foothold, but soon became powerless and slumped down.

"I feel like the original flavor inside is sweeter." After a moment, the boy commented seriously.

Nagasaki Asuna stared blankly at the boy, panting, swallowed hard, buried her face in his chest, and murmured softly with a hint of disappointment, "If it were Shen Xi, we wouldn't need these things, would we..."

"Silly girl, you don't need anything to look beautiful in my eyes." The boy ruffled her hair.

"really?"

"Of course, Nagasaki Asuna is a top-tier beauty."

“Cheng Fei…” The girl looked relieved, her soft voice becoming affectionate, “Oh, right.”

"what?"

"So you're not going to scold Nana?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up.

Why curse?

"Because Nana helped her lie to classmate Cheng Fei."

"Silly girl, in the future, just promise her things verbally and tell me secretly. You don't have to be so honest with her." The boy wrapped his arms around her slender, soft waist, letting the girl's curves press against him.

"But she said if I make her angry, she'll force Cheng Fei to dump Nana." The girl trembled, lowered her head, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"You're getting dumber and dumber. You actually believe that kind of talk. How could I possibly abandon you?"

"Cats become stupid whenever they think about this kind of thing. If their owner abandons them, it's no different from being dead," the girl said with certainty.
