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

"Teacher Shen, if I don't react well while holding a cute girl like you, who is the cutest in the multiverse, then there would be a problem. Would you be concerned and take me to the hospital?"

"I guess I'll pass. I'm going to take a shower." The girl turned around without hesitation.

"Teacher Shen, please! I will try my best to control myself, but please be patient with me. I beg you, this is really important to me. Please forgive me with a heart as vast as the universe." The boy clasped his hands together.

"..."

"Teacher Shen?"

"Then let's give it a try." Shen Xi took a deep breath, her brows furrowed, her solemn expression suggesting that she was about to make some major sacrifice.

"Ok."

"The lights are too bright, I need to turn them off a bit," the girl suddenly looked up.

"Ok."

The girl walked to the light switch, pressed it a few times, and turned off the lights until only the ambient light, which was barely enough to see, remained.

Then, in the dim light, the girl bent down and took off her loafers, arranging them neatly as if she had a compulsion. With a rustling sound, she moved to the boy's side, silently looked at him for a moment, and then hugged him.

Shen Xi shivered violently as if she had caught a chill, her teeth clenched, "Cheng Fei."

"Sorry, I'm taking it under control now. Please get used to it." The boy's serious voice rang out.

The girl arched her back, pressed her forehead against his chest, and continued to tremble, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

After a while, she calmed down, slowly shifted her weight to the boy, relaxed, and nestled into his arms.

"Cheng Fei, that's enough." The girl said in a muffled voice.

"Okay." Only then did the boy place his hands, which had been motionless, on the girl's back and slowly close them.

"Teacher Shen, you're shaking so badly, are you alright?" The boy paused.

"Shut up, you know perfectly well what the problem is, you filthy Cheng Feiyu." The girl said through gritted teeth, her head bowed.

396. Shen Xi was carrying contraband.

"It's my fault. It must have been hard for Your Highness to tolerate someone like me. So, can we continue to hug you? Or is this the limit of your patience?"

"..."

"I'll reluctantly not object."

"Not against what?"

"continue."

"Ok."

"Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Just hug me tightly all at once, do whatever you want. Just consider me crazy, and we'll call it even for what I owe you today."

"I understand. Your Highness owes me nothing, except me who owes you."

"Good to know, you're a complete and utter piece of trash with a huge debt."

"Shall I continue?"

"..."

"Teacher Shen?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Ok."

The next second, Cheng Fei embraced her tightly, as if he were merging her into his body.

Shen Xi gasped, her pupils contracting sharply in the dim light, her delicate body stiffening.

The boy made no further excessive moves, and the quiet room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a moment, the boy placed his hand on the back of the girl's head and gently stroked it.

The girl gradually adapted and relaxed.

"Teacher Shen."

"What."

"I really liked the way you hugged me just now, except for the biting part, of course." The boy seemed to be implying something.

"..."

"Teacher Shen?"

"Okay, trash."

Amidst the rustling sounds, Shen Xi shifted to a more proactive stance, first with her left hand, then her right, encircling and tightening her grip on the boy's neck. She buried her face in his neck, as if she could bite through his carotid artery with a single bite. Her kneeling legs also clamped down on him from both sides, not with the soft, clingy affection of a typical girlfriend in the throes of new love, but with a domineering control that asserted her sovereignty and refused any betrayal.

And so the two embraced each other completely, without any distinction between them. All the physical movements and temperature changes were intertwined at that moment, and the pulse of their hearts and the rhythm of their breaths were transmitted to each other, making them closer than ever before.

On this solitary night in the quiet, dimly lit room, both knew they would not be disturbed. For the first time, they fully felt and possessed each other, not only physically but also emotionally. No words were needed; their consciousness seemed to intertwine and grow in a deeper dimension, sensing each other's feelings, as if this moment would last forever, until the end of time.

Outside the window, the night in Academy City flows quietly like water. The towering buildings are dotted with lights, and the spiderweb-like roads are filled with lights. Each light is a soul, whether lonely or embracing. They exist in their own small dimensions, gazing at the sparse lights outside while also becoming part of them, forming the lights that others look up to.

Asuna Nagasaki stepped out of the steamy shower, stood in front of the mirror to dry herself, picked up the unlabeled body lotion that had been placed on the sink, squeezed the watery white liquid into her palm, and carefully applied it to every inch of her body...

Lin Xuanqi sat behind her desk, expressionless as she browsed through stacks of documents. After a long while, she exhaled, rubbed her temples, propped her chin up, and gazed out the window at the brightly lit Silver Ring, the central business district. She tapped her cheek absently, a smile inexplicably curving her lips. She patted her face, tore off a lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and then returned to her desk…

Ye Shuang was lying on the foot of the bed in a position she would never do when no one else was around, with her hands on the floor reading a comic book and her legs crossed and dangling in the air behind her. She received a phone call midway through, her expression turned cold, and after hanging up, she continued to swing her legs and looked back at the comic book...

In such silence, time seems to lose its meaning.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xi's cold voice rang out, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"That's enough." The girl's soft voice carried an unquestionable command.

"Ok."

So the palm that had just been placed on the girl's ankle paused, holding the small, rounded joint wrapped in delicate black velvet.

The girl's pure, dark eyes became empty, and she only closed them again after confirming that the boy had not gone any further against her wishes.

Time continued to tick by, second by second.

A certain enchanting atmosphere seemed to permeate the room.

"Shen Xi".

"what?"

"So, did that bite just now count as you kissing me first?" the boy asked curiously.

"No, that doesn't count." The girl's soft voice was devoid of emotion.

"why?"

"In order to make you, a shameless aquatic mammal, realize the seriousness of the problem, I couldn't find a better way to warn you, so I reluctantly used my teeth."

"Since kicking me won't do any good, why not just bite me?"

"If you know the answer, then stop talking nonsense."

"Understood, I have received Your Highness's warning."

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

"And the answer?" the girl asked, seemingly displeased.

"I thought you didn't want to hear empty talk."

Whether I want to hear it or not is my business.

"Fine, if I ever betray you, you can just bite me to death, Shen Xi."

“It’s tiring to bite through, so I’ll use tools.”

"Teacher Shen, even you, who are usually so cute, have a yandere side," the boy exclaimed.

"Shut up, you'll only have yourself to blame if that day comes."

"Ok."

The room returned to silence.

A long time passed.

"Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Not enough?"

Are you tired?

"If it's not enough, you can continue to endure it. Once it's enough, I'll go take a shower." The girl's voice was muffled with her face buried in her hands, and her breath was warm when she opened her mouth.

"Alright, it's been a long time. Thank you for your compensation, Your Highness. Go take a bath now." The young man gently patted her back.

"Ah."

After the conversation ended, the two who had been embracing for a long time finally separated. Amidst the rustling sounds, Shen Xi silently put on her loafers, got out of bed, picked up the small handbag at the foot of the bed, opened it, took out some things, and walked towards the bathroom, which was separated only by a glass wall. She paused at the door.

"Cheng Fei," she said, her back to the boy on the other side of the bed.

"what?"

Don't let me down.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't peek." The boy watched her retreating figure.

The girl silently went into the bathroom, lowered the curtain behind the glass wall to block out the scene inside.

Cheng Fei sat on the edge of the bed and saw the light come on inside. After a moment, he heard the sound of running water. He got up casually, put his hands in his pockets, went to the foot of the bed, and casually picked up the girl's small handbag...

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair still damp with moisture walked out.

Cheng Fei put down his phone, looked up, and froze. "This hotel provides pajamas?"

"I don't know." Shen Xi placed her neatly folded clothes on the chair next to her.

The girl was wearing a thin, light-colored nightgown, long-sleeved and long-legged, with no revealing details.

"Where did you get your pajamas?"

Shen Xi turned her head and glanced at the boy, her expression calm, as if she were showing concern for someone with intellectual disabilities. "It's something I brought with me."

"Your little crossbody bag was bulging before because it was stuffed with pajamas? You actually bring your own pajamas?" Cheng Fei grabbed his hair, feeling a sense of disbelief.

"Nonsense." The girl got into bed from the other side with a cold expression, silently lay under the covers and stared at the ceiling. "I'm sleepy. If you still want to hug me, hurry up and take a shower."

"Alright." The boy smacked his lips. "But I have another question."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly appeared above her, pinning her under the blanket. He braced his hands on either side of her pillow, giving her the feeling that she had nowhere to escape, and looked down at her small face from above.

"Cheng Fei, what do you want to do?" Shen Xi frowned slightly, her pure, dark eyes looking directly into his eyes.

"I just curiously rummaged through your bag and found this." The boy held a pretty little box in front of the girl, with words like "Zero Sensitivity 3-pack" written on it.

"Teacher Shen, what does this mean?" the boy asked, observing her delicate yet cold face.

397. Shen Xi was well prepared.

"Cheng Fei, what right do you have to go through my bag?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Given our relationship, there's nothing wrong with flipping through it, I just want to know why you brought this?" the boy said calmly.

"That's none of your business." The girl turned her face away, her stubborn lips tightly pressed together.
