A cool breeze blew through the trees, rustling the leaves.

The girl suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her. She turned her head and met the boy's nonchalant gaze.

"Cheng Fei, what are you looking at?" The girl frowned.

"It's nothing." The boy shook his head seriously.

"Why aren't you practicing yet?"

"No rush, let me see you lick it again."

"As expected, you're thinking about filthy and vulgar things again." The girl's eyes flickered, and she remained silent for a second before suddenly realizing something. She gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"No, Ms. Shen, you have too much prejudice against me."

"Then tell me what you mean by staring at me while I'm licking my ice cream?" The girl squinted at him.

"I just think it looks good. You're a beautiful girl, and beautiful girls look good no matter what they do. But I am indeed thinking about something." The boy put his hands on his hips.

"What is it?"

"Shen Xi, I absolutely want you to be with me willingly."

"What on earth is wrong with him?" The girl frowned as she looked at the boy whose expression revealed an inexplicable determination.

"By the way, Shen Xi, this ice cream is called Cornetto Vanilla. Do you know what its flower language is?" The boy looked at her seriously.

"In the dictionary of aquatic mammals, the language of flowers includes everything?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Fine, whatever. Anyway, please answer my question."

"That's ridiculous. I don't know, and I have no interest in knowing. All I know right now is that you're definitely fantasizing about a whole bunch of filthy things." The girl shivered as if she had caught a chill.

"Sigh, you've misunderstood me again. Oh well, give me a bite, we'll share it and our friendship will last."

Before the girl could even agree, her vision blurred and the ice cream in her hand vanished, reappearing in the boy's hand where he took a big bite out of it before quickly putting it back in her hand.

"I'm going to practice now. Hurry up and eat, my little cutie. If you dare to leave it uneaten, I won't let you off the hook."

The girl snapped out of her daze and saw the ice cream in her hand, which looked like it had been chewed by a dog. Her pupils contracted slightly, and she gritted her teeth, feeling an unbearable urge to retaliate. "Cheng Fei!"

"Why are you being so fierce? Eating too much cold food isn't good for you. I'm just taking care of you, don't be angry, Teacher Shen."

"The main issue is that you threatened me again!"

"Not at all, I just wanted to remind you not to waste food."

The boy waved to her, and in a good mood, dribbled the ball leisurely away from the shade of the trees and into the empty court.

Shen Xi, holding an ice cream cone, stared intently at the boy's departing figure, her eyes flickering.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her fingertips. Looking down, she realized that the ice cream had melted a little and dripped down.

The girl quickly licked the ice cream off her fingertips, then looked up as if worried about something. She saw the boy on the court standing at the three-point line, focused on shooting with a standard posture. She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and expressionlessly looked back at the ice cream.

She slowly brought the ice cream to her mouth, opened her mouth slightly, and licked it in small sips like a kitten or puppy drinking water, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the boys on the court.

So on a sunny spring afternoon on a weekday, teenagers became the only visitors to the sports field in the park.

On the sun-baked field, a tall and handsome young man repeatedly shot, retrieved, and shot again, the rim and ball making a clattering sound.

Before long, the boy was drenched in sweat, beads of sweat sliding down the perfectly sculpted grooves of his marble-like muscles, and the clean white short-sleeved shirt on his back was soaked and turned dark.

Even with a pitifully low hit rate, the boy did not get discouraged or give up, but focused entirely on the practice itself.

Although playing ball is just a means to deal with Lin Xuanqi, that's precisely why he has to do it seriously, instead of relying solely on his physical abilities and time-limited tactics to win.

Things done without real effort and by being lazy will inevitably be exposed to those with ulterior motives.

Just as the best actors completely immerse themselves in their roles, the best way to completely win over Lin Xuanqi is to demonstrate talent and effort in every aspect that is second to none. She will naturally fall for him.

Moreover, the belief of a realist strong person is to complete whatever they decide to do, no matter how big or small, and to do their best within the limited time.

The boy standing under the scorching sun, aiming at the basket, releases the ball with this mindset. In the sunlight, the beads of sweat and his determined eyes shine together.

It is said that no girl can resist the sight of a tall, handsome boy sweating profusely while playing basketball. This statement would probably be true elsewhere, but unfortunately, the aloof girl sitting on the bench covered by dense shade, the only spectator at the moment, showed no signs of being moved.

Occasionally, a refreshing breeze would blow from the nearby tree-lined path, ruffling her long, silky, waist-length, jet-black hair.

The dappled sunlight, filtering through the leaves, stole kisses onto the girl's delicate and beautiful face and slender, long legs. Her tender, fair skin complemented the creamy ice cream in her hand perfectly.

The girl sat quietly, enjoying her ice cream with a blank expression. Occasionally, she would cast her gaze, filled with unspeakable emotions, at the boy on the field. Her deep, pure eyes, as black as ink, blinked from time to time, as if she were the embodiment of a goddess of wisdom and beauty in mythology, standing in another dimension, looking down on the noisy world in which the boy lived.

That ordinary afternoon when the two of them were alone was probably like this...

As dusk fell and the park gradually filled up, Cheng Fei finally finished his practice and returned to the shade of a tree.

"Teacher Shen, may I ask what you are doing?" He looked down at Shen Xi.

The girl was squatting on the ground with her knees drawn up to her chest, staring blankly at the floor tiles. She seemed to have been in this position for a long time, like a seven or eight-year-old child playing.

“Look at the insects.” Shen Xi looked up at the boy, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Are you insulting me?

"Don't flatter yourself, it's just an ant." The girl scoffed.

She broke off some of the ice cream cone shell and scattered it on the ground. An ant discovered this gift from nature and called over a steady stream of its brethren to carry it away. At that moment, a winding marching route could be seen extending from the green belt.

"Teacher Shen, you're actually watching ants here instead of me. I'm so disappointed in you," the boy exclaimed in surprise.

"Excuse me, but a bunch of bugs are much more interesting than a single bug." The girl chuckled, stood up, and tossed her hair.

409. The two were simply making the most of their time.

As the disdainful words fell, Shen Xi suddenly covered her temples and squinted, her slender body swaying and falling to one side, only to be caught by the boy with quick reflexes.

"Are you dizzy from standing too fast?" Cheng Fei observed the girl's pale face.

"Mmm..." The girl gripped the boy's arm tightly, rested her head against his chest, her delicate brows furrowed, and took a deep breath.

"Teacher Shen, you really are my little sister Shen. Although you seem so gentle and delicate, you must take care of your health. We're going to be together for the rest of our lives." The young man placed his hand behind her head and sighed softly.

Shen Xi ignored him. After a moment, the girl looked up as if pricked by needles, her face full of surprise. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"Are you tempted to seduce me?" The boy, shirtless with his short-sleeved shirt draped over his shoulders, asked nonchalantly.

From the girl's perspective, her chest and abdomen were clearly visible, with well-proportioned and powerful core muscles that resembled a finely sculpted work of art. Under the setting sun, the muscle lines from his recent workout were distinct. Although he didn't look like those burly fitness enthusiasts, he still exuded an explosive sense of power.

"Disgusting, hurry up and put your clothes on." Shen Xi only glanced at it, then frowned and looked away, feeling disgusted.

"Really? A few junior high girls were just hitting on me. Didn't you even watch out?" The boy picked up a bottle of soda from the bench and chugged it down.

"If we have to be so careful about this, we might as well end it now." The girl said angrily, her eyes fixed on his bobbing Adam's apple.

"End the date or end the relationship?" The boy finished his water, looked down at her, and put on a short-sleeved shirt.

"That's enough, I'm going back." The girl turned her face away and said coldly.

"No way, Teacher Shen, is she angry?"

"It's too hot, I want to go back and take a shower." The girl looked at him, her face unhappy.

"Okay, beautiful girls are so particular, although I also want to take a bath." The boy looked at the delicate little face that wasn't sweating at all.

"Then hurry up." The girl turned and left.

"Wait for me to take out the trash," the boy called out to her.

As Cheng Fei leisurely walked towards the trash can with his empty water bottle, he casually took out his phone and sent a message to his tea ceremony teacher.

"Nana, are you home yet?"

"Just arrived"

The reply came instantly.

"Wait in the room."

"What does 'waiting' mean? Is Nana overthinking it?"

"Didn't think much about it."

"Okay~ The cat will wait patiently for its owner in the room."

It's as if you can imagine the girl's smiling voice.

Cheng Fei skillfully deleted the corresponding chat history and sent Shen Xi home.

Once inside the elevator, the girl stared at the boy suspiciously, "Why did you come?"

"Teacher Shen, what are you saying? The date isn't over yet. You're all mine tonight, and besides, I can come anytime."

Shen Xi remained silent, turning her face away expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, can I take a shower first? I'm covered in sweat and it's so uncomfortable. I'll be quick." The boy said earnestly.

"it is good."

"She may seem cold on the surface, but she can be quite charming when she's being reasonable."

"I don't want to give it up anymore."

Never mind what I said.

Opening the familiar door on the thirty-sixth floor, the room was quiet. Small brown uniform shoes were placed on the right side of the entrance, clearly belonging to another girl who lived here.

Cheng Fei quickly took a shower, changed into spare dry clothes, and walked out of the bathroom with a sigh of relief.

Shen Xi walked over carrying clothes, and the boy quickly made way for her.

He watched as the expressionless girl closed and locked the door. Shortly after, he heard the sound of running water. The boy put his hands in his pockets, entered the hallway, and opened the unlocked bedroom door.

The long-haired girl with brown hair, who was crouching by the door with her back against the wall, immediately pounced on him, burying her head in his chest and rubbing against him like a bird returning to its nest.

"Idiot, why are you squatting on the ground?" The boy pinched that sweet and lovely face.

"When a cat misses its owner too much, it will act like this, waah..." Nagasaki Asuna's whining stopped abruptly. The girl's eyes widened first, then became hazy and narrowed.

Like an ice cream melting and going limp under the scorching sun, it feels like it can't even stand up and just slides down softly.

The boy grabbed his own lifeless, skeletal doll and manipulated it wantonly, even to the point of being somewhat brutal.

As if sensing the intense heat, the girl became breathless and her small hands, interlocked, became extremely compliant and soft.

"Idiot, why are you wearing outdoor shoes at home?" The boy savored the sweet aroma and then tugged at her arm to examine her attire.

The girl, dressed in a school uniform shirt with a burgundy cardigan, her long, shapely legs encased in black over-the-knee socks and black uniform shoes, looked just like she was at school.

"Because, because the cat wants to dress up as its owner likes it, does Cheng Fei like JK Nana?" The girl's voice was stammering, her clear and bright eyes reflecting the boy's face without blinking, allowing her to be examined in a way that was almost humiliating.

"I love my Nana no matter what she looks like." The boy's pulling intensified.

"Hmm~ It belongs to Cheng Fei's Nana." The girl tilted her head, revealing a sweet smile, seemingly oblivious to her increasingly confused state, as if her consciousness had been manipulated. "So, why is it like this today?"

"I hugged her too much when we went out."

"Yes, I understand. Cats can do everything that she can't. Cheng Fei, can you treat Nana the cat as her?"

"Idiot, she is her and you are you. You are not her replacement. Don't make yourself feel so wronged."

It's as if a working-class person who owns a cat drags their tired body home, grabs their defenseless pet cat, puts it on the bed, and plays with it on its back, not even sparing its soft paw pads.

"Yes~ So Nana Cat is special in Cheng Fei's eyes, oh, I'm so happy, ha...?!" The girl's gentle and healing smile was as if struck by a heavy blow, her chest heaving violently.

"Idiot, not ready?"

"No, no, I was prepared when I received Cheng Fei's message, but my cat-like head just gets all flustered." The girl's voice trembled, as if she were having some kind of illness, and she gasped for breath.

"Nana".

"Ok?"

Is it safe today?

"It's safe!" The girl's pupils contracted, and she suddenly became anxious. "Even if it's not safe, Cheng Fei, you don't need to worry about it. Nana is your cat, you can do whatever you want with her."

"Idiot, how could we not care?"

"Hmm~ The cat is even happier because it feels pampered by Cheng Fei."

"Why are you crying if you're happy?"
