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

"If you know this, then seriously consider what to do next." The girl remained motionless, as if she didn't notice his actions.

"Time will prove me right, my little darling." The boy said in a relaxed tone. "By the way, I actually have a plan that I can tell you now."

"What?" The girl stirred.

"Once I get rid of Lin Xuanqi, I will publicly confess my feelings to you, Shen Xi," the young man said casually.

The room was silent for a moment.

“A pointless and foolish act,” the girl mumbled.

"You don't like it? It's said that no girl in the world wouldn't look forward to a confession that goes against all odds."

"So that's why you used this tactic against the Lin family back then?" the girl sneered.

"The results show that it was indeed correct."

"I'm sorry, I'm an exception."

"Not surprising, after all, you are the Celestial Queen, unlike any other girl in this world."

"It's good to know."

"But I will still publicly confess my feelings to you, because this is something that was meant to happen between us."

"Ha, is he trying to make amends, or is he just trying to satisfy his pathetic male urges for self-expression?"

"Anyway, I'll do it." The boy's tone was both relaxed and provocative.

"Then I will simply refuse on the spot." The girl's coldness was sharp and confrontational.

"Tch, whatever. Be careful, after you reject someone, another girl will immediately comfort you and say she's willing to be with me."

"Then go ahead and hang out with those shameless vixens, and I'll just be completely disappointed in you, Cheng Fei."

"Just kidding, of course not, Shen Xi."

"I hope it's not just a nice way of putting it."

"At least tell me, no matter what?"

"Enough with the boring nonsense, I'm sleepy."

"How about you just sleep on top of me all night?"

“Cheng Fei, it’s easy to have nightmares when your chest is compressed while you sleep. Don’t tell me you don’t even have this basic common sense.”

"Sorry, holding you only makes me dream." The boy said with no small amount of pride.

"Sorry, I can't, so let go."

"That's so heartless. We had such a great chat tonight." The boy shook his head, sighed, and opened his arms.

"Fine, you can be self-righteous all you want, but there's no one here who can connect with you." Shen Xi got off him, but instead of moving away, she snuggled up to his side, shifting slightly to get into a close and comfortable position.

Goodnight, Cheng Fei.

"Good night."

……

Meanwhile, in another world.

A teardrop-shaped airship sails alone in an unknown airspace, amidst a thick, white sea of ​​clouds.

The golden-haired half-elf huddled in a small ball on the ship's side, her little hand supporting her chin, staring blankly at the unchanging horizon through the hole in the ship's side, as if she herself had become part of it.

Leia sat in the cockpit, silently ensuring that the course was correct.

In the excessively quiet atmosphere, footsteps came from the stairs leading to the lower cabins. Leia turned around and saw a pink-haired girl with a gentle and soothing demeanor walking up.

"How's it going today?" Nagasaki Asuna asked with a smile, her hands behind her back.

“Everything is normal.” Leia nodded seriously. “We just haven’t found a suitable place to dock and maintain it yet.”

"It's alright~ Take your time." Nagasaki Asuna glanced at the still damaged hull, though the drafty areas in the wheelhouse had been patched up with wooden planks.

After a moment, Leia asked hesitantly, "Aren't the others... going to wake up?"

"If everything's alright here, they won't be coming for now, so I'll leave the boat handling to you." Nagasaki Asuna checked the map.

“It’s alright.” Leia shook her head seriously.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded, and Shadow ran in from the deck, her face full of excitement. "There's land over there! Does that mean I can be free?!"

"Huh?"

Asuna Nagasaki tilted her head, shading her eyes with her hand, and noticed a small black dot on the horizon.

……

399. Shen Xi turns her back on people.

The next day.

At 6:30 a.m. sharp, Cheng Fei opened his eyes.

The first rays of morning light filtered through the white gauze curtains into the room, enveloping everything in a hazy, cool stillness.

The aloof girl with long, dark hair was fast asleep, wrapped tightly in his arms, holding him close with both hands and feet as if he were a pillow.

The girl's eyes were closed, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly with her breath. A faint, pleasant fragrance could be smelled from her. Her face was buried in Cheng Fei's arms, and the dim light from the window filtered through her thick, dark hair, scattering across her delicate profile. Her skin was indescribably smooth and soft.

The girl's fair cheeks, as white as mutton fat, concealed a hint of baby fat. Her pink and stubborn lips were tightly closed, and her expressionless face in her sleep had an indescribable softness and charm, as if the intelligent yet awe-inspiring and powerful Celestial Queen was just an illusion.

The boy admired her for a moment, then couldn't help but lower his head and slowly approach her pretty face, so close that he could almost feel the warmth of her two crystal-clear flesh.

The girl opened her eyes a crack, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her pure, ink-black eyes gazed at the boy who was standing close to her.

"Shen Xi, I want to kiss you." The boy gazed at her and whispered.

The girl remained motionless, her eyes lowered. "Tell me all your secrets, and then... hold me tight and kiss me all day long."

The boy was silent for a second, then quietly turned over and faced the ceiling.

"Rubbish."

As the cursing subsided, a rustling sound came from behind. The girl, wrapped in a blanket, moved her body and lay face down on him as if he were a human mattress. She wrapped her arms tightly around the back of his neck, her small face, hidden by her long black hair, buried near his neck.

"Teacher Shen?" The boy stared at the ceiling in surprise.

"Cheng Fei, I order you to sleep with me for an hour now, and you're not allowed to do anything else." The girl's voice was deep and authoritative.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The boy blinked, then looked relieved, wrapping his arms around her silky, soft back through her pajamas…

An hour later, Shen Xi let out a soft hum, barely audible, climbed off Cheng Fei, looked down at him sleepily and expressionlessly for a moment, and got up as if nothing had happened.

The boy stared at the single tuft of hair on her head, silently picked up the clothes he had folded the night before, and disappeared into the bathroom, followed by the sound of the faucet running at full blast.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Shen Xi reappeared in front of the boy. Unlike yesterday, she wasn't wearing knee-high socks, revealing her long, slender, and dazzlingly white legs for the first time in a long time.

Cheng Fei, who had also gotten up, glanced down without making a sound.

The girl noticed his gaze, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she bit her lip gently. She kicked him with her small foot, which was in a disposable slipper, and said, "Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, then help me comb my hair."

"You want me to comb your hair too?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

"It's better if you don't want to, at least you won't feel disgusted." The girl sneered.

"Of course I would like to, Your Highness, please wait a moment." The young man's expression hardened, and he quickly went to wash up.

Soon, Shen Xi sat on a chair by the window, handed her hair to the boy behind her, and gazed at the bustling city outside the window in the early morning.

"Teacher Shen." Cheng Fei gently combed her long, flowing black hair.

"what?"

"So, would you say our favorability has increased?" the boy said, not without pride.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" the girl frowned.

"Isn't that right?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. It's so nonsensical." The girl frowned, and the confusion on her face seemed genuine.

"Teacher Shen, are you going to deny this too? Last night we clearly..."

"What do you mean, 'Mingming'? Cheng Fei, are you having a disgusting dream? It's dawn, please wake up." The girl interrupted him.

The boy paused. "Teacher Shen, while it's cute to be shy and deny things, don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Cheng Fei, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with what you ate last night?" The girl's expression turned worried.

The boy looked at her profile and hesitated, "Teacher Shen, were you the one who hugged me last night?"

"It's me, what's wrong?" the girl asked expressionlessly.

The boy opened his mouth, "Then what are you denying?"

"I really don't understand what you're trying to say. Haven't we hugged before?"

“You took the initiative last night.”

"I've taken the initiative before, even letting you touch my head. Is Cheng Feiyu's memory really that bad?" the girl asked, her face full of doubt.

"That's during your period, but you didn't have your period yesterday."

"So what? I'll take the initiative when I feel it's necessary, not just during my period. Are you going to question me?" The girl's eyes narrowed.

"Okay, then how do you explain biting me?"

"Use your teeth to give enough pain as a warning to your disloyal servant, so that you, Cheng Feiyu, won't be unaware of the seriousness of the problem. What's the problem?" Shen Xi said seriously.

"You were lying on top of me just now."

"Is this the first time he's ever been on a tummy?"

“You’ve never voluntarily knelt down before.”

"Yes, but I want you to sleep with me for a while longer. You'll definitely make me lie on top of you to satisfy your filthy and vulgar desires. I don't want to waste words, so I'll just lie on top of you. Is there a problem?" Shen Xi said coldly.

"Is that so?" the boy asked, hesitating to speak.

"What exactly is the problem?"

"Then what about last night when you were so weak and let me hug you so easily?"

"To compensate you for what you were forced to endure."

"But the feeling when you hug my neck is so forceful and possessive, this is definitely different..."

"Cheng Fei, you know it's just a feeling, it's really just your delusional imagination. It's no different from before. Even if it's really forceful, it's just a necessary measure to prevent you from making any rash moves, nothing more. Do you understand?" The girl's tone had an inexplicable pity for a young child.

"Teacher Shen, so you mean our favorability rating hasn't changed at all?"

"Otherwise? We haven't done anything beyond our usual limits since last night. If you've developed some unrealistic fantasies because of some of the details, please correct them yourself, otherwise I'll be very troubled." Shen Xi frowned, as if she was really troubled.

The room was quiet for a moment.

"Teacher Shen, I can't accept your attitude." The boy grabbed his hair, feeling an indescribable sense of disarray.

"What exactly can't you accept?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

“I think that after last night’s conversation, our bond and trust in each other have deepened.”

"Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"You watch too many cartoons. You're sixteen, be more mature." The girl said, emphasizing each word.

The boy fell silent for a long time. "Teacher Shen, I think you're playing me."

"Cheng Fei, you're the one who likes to use sweet talk and cheat, what am I supposed to do to you?" Shen Xi's tone was calm and left no room for argument. "I'm hungry, hurry up and get your hair done."

"……Yes."

After combing their hair, the two packed their things and prepared to leave.

Shen Xi folded her pajamas into a small square and stuffed them into her small handbag. She also folded the black over-the-knee socks she had taken off yesterday and put them into the inner compartment of her handbag.
