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

"Mmm..." The girl made a soft, affectionate sound like a cat, tiptoed, and gripped the boy's sleeve tightly.

The pink and translucent flesh has an extremely soft and glutinous texture, like aged fruit wine, with a sweet and intoxicating aroma.

After a long silence, Nagasaki Asuna seemed to melt into the boy's embrace. Then, at a certain moment, she suddenly patted the boy weakly with her small hand. When the boy let go, she hurriedly looked in a certain direction not far away, then quickly lowered her head, her gaze darting away guiltily.

Cheng Fei turned his head to look.

A cool, aloof girl with long, ink-black hair stood expressionless a short distance away. Today, she wore a well-designed white top with a black bow tied at the neckline, a gray-blue high-waisted skirt with diagonal plaid patterns, and her slender, long, white legs were visible beneath the skirt. She wore white socks and black uniform shoes, exuding a ladylike and elegant air.

Shen Xi's eyes were empty and unfocused, as if she were staring at the two of them, or as if she were looking through the earth and gazing into the infinite depths of the universe.

A second later, the girl turned around nonchalantly, holding the thin strap of her small crossbody bag, and walked back the way she came, like someone who had just left the house and then remembered that she had left something behind and was planning to go home to get it.

Cheng Fei's expression hardened, and he quickly followed after Nagasaki Asuna, taking her small hand. They met at the elevator entrance.

"Shen Xi, it was my fault, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional." The young man looked at her indifferent profile and clasped his hands together.

Asuna Nagasaki stood silently to the side.

"As expected of the utterly foolish Cheng Feiyu." Shen Xi sneered, staring at the elevator door, and narrowed her eyes to glance at Nagasaki Asuna beside her. "You didn't do it on purpose, but she did it on purpose. Her radar is usually incredibly accurate, but it's not working now."

Cheng Fei pulled Nagasaki Asuna behind him. "That was my fault. I didn't pay attention to the time. Please forgive me with your magnanimity, Teacher Shen. Thank you for your hard work."

"Trash, are you really going to side with her like this?" Shen Xi turned her head and glared at the boy, then kicked him through gritted teeth.

Asuna Nagasaki's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips and lowered her head. "Shen Xi, I didn't mean to. Cheng Fei just told me that I am also his beloved, and I got a little excited... so I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi's annoyance disappeared, and she returned to her expressionless face. She turned her head and pressed the elevator button. "It's definitely more comfortable to eat alone at home."

"Nana! You?" Cheng Fei turned his head, stunned, feeling a sense of betrayal.

“Cheng Fei, I have a promise with her recently, so I’m sorry…” Nagasaki Asuna avoided eye contact.

"Teacher Shen, what did you two agree on behind my back?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled.

"This is none of your business, Cheng Fei. Go ahead and keep sweet-talking this vixen. Don't waste your time on me." Shen Xi's tone was extremely calm.

"Teacher Shen, please forgive me no matter what!"

"Shut up."

"What do you want from me? It was just a little accident. Can't we just have a meal together and laugh it off?"

"Such heinous behavior is unforgivable. Don't even dream about it." The girl raised her chin, her expression utterly indifferent.

"Teacher Shen, can I buy you a vanilla ice cream from Cornetto?"

"No."

……

So they went through a difficult struggle.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair and a sweet girl with long, coffee-colored hair stood a distance apart on the roadside, both staring at something in the distance, their outstanding looks attracting the attention of every passerby.

Under the watchful eyes of the two girls and the shop owner, the handsome young man spent a long time rummaging through the freezer full of popsicles before finally finding the flavor he wanted. He scanned the code, paid, and left with his treat.

"Please, both of you." The boy looked dejected as he handed two Cornetto ice creams to the two girls, leaving his own hands empty.

By the way, Shen Xi's is vanilla flavored, while Nagasaki Asuna's is matcha flavored.

452. Cheng Fei advanced another pawn by one step.

After buying ice cream for Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna, Cheng Fei went to get the car.

Amidst the hateful gazes of passersby, two beautiful young women with distinct personalities climbed into the back seat of a luxury sports car, one after the other.

Cheng Fei drove his Panamera into traffic, glancing through the rearview mirror at the girls in the back seat, each licking their ice cream, keeping their distance from each other like complete strangers. "So, you two, have you gotten along better lately? Have you started ganging up on me and giving me the silent treatment?"

"No one here has gotten along well with the vixen, so please don't have any unrealistic fantasies. I simply want to know just how wicked you can be behind my back, so I ordered her to honestly report your every word and action," Shen Xi said coldly.

"Teacher Shen, please stop bullying Nana with threats and inducements all day long, thank you."

"Heh, sorry, it was entirely her own choice. You can ask her if you don't believe me." Shen Xi stuck out her little tongue and licked the ice cream bit by bit.

"Nana, did you betray me?" Cheng Fei exclaimed in surprise.

"Um, Cheng Fei, I just think if I agree to her request, she'll change her opinion of me a bit. The price is that she'll scold you, but you get scolded every day, so you probably won't care, right?" Nagasaki Asuna licked her ice cream at a similar pace to the former.

“You’ve got it all wrong. First of all, I’m not being scolded every day. Secondly, I care about thanking people. If I could, I would like to live in applause and praise.”

"A despicable person who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals still wants to live in applause and praise, and is just daydreaming." Shen Xi laughed out loud.

"Teacher Shen, to be honest, I didn't do anything wrong, so can't you be a little gentler and more understanding towards me?"

"Ha, the so-called 'not doing anything' means that even after I reminded you on the phone, you still brazenly clung to this shameless vixen downstairs. It almost made me vomit. I've already turned a blind eye to your outings, I don't know how much more gentle and tolerant you are. And congratulations, Cheng Fei, you've successfully cheapened the word 'beloved.' Now you actually have two 'beloveds.'" Shen Xi finished with a heavy, cold laugh.

"Because the word 'my dearest love' is precious in itself, even if it's discounted by half, there's no reduction in quality. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"A self-righteous, hopeless madman's ramblings."

"I must admit, Ms. Shen, although you're as stubborn as ever, it's really kind and tolerant of you to be this gentle. You're really adorable in that respect. Thank you for your hard work." The boy smiled at the rearview mirror.

"Insincere thanks are fine, but if you're truly grateful, show it with actions." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and turned to look out the window.

"Huh? They were just arguing a moment ago, and suddenly they've become so respectful and made up? Your relationship is really something." Nagasaki Asuna exclaimed.

"You vixen, if you haven't mastered Chinese, please don't misuse idioms."

"I think Nana is learning very well."

"You have even less right to interrupt."

"Her Majesty the Empress is becoming more and more majestic."

"Shut up."

"Ok."

……

Cheng Fei led the two to a high-end restaurant and sat them in a quiet corner by the window. Cheng Fei sat on one side, and the two sat side by side opposite each other.

While waiting for the food to arrive after ordering, the boy suddenly said, "I feel like I don't need to eat anymore."

Shen Xi lowered her eyes and ignored her.

"Why?" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands and tilted her head.

"Because you two are so beautiful, just looking at you is already satisfying." The boy stared at the two beautiful girls standing side by side, his expression serious.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna's gaze flickered, her hands, which were supporting her chin, silently moved to cover half of her face. She turned her head to glance at Shen Xi. "Is this the treatment Shen Xi usually gets?"

"I can't understand how shameless Cheng Feiyu can be. It was one thing for him to sweet-talk different girls in private before, but now he actually said it to two girls in front of him. Cheng Fei, you really shouldn't continue like this." Shen Xi sighed heavily, pinching her brow, as if facing a criminal who had committed a serious crime and still did not repent.

"Teacher Shen, although it may seem a bit frivolous, I only do this to the two of you." The boy said sincerely.

"Trash, I think you're just making small steps again, now plotting to brainwash me a new time. I'm warning you, our relationship will only go this far. I've already put up with as much as I can. If you dare to push your luck any further, I'll get angry." The aloof girl frowned and kicked him under the table.

"Teacher Shen, your nerves are as sensitive as ever. Does Snow Rabbit never relax? Although this feeling of being alert at the slightest disturbance is also quite cute."

"It's one thing to say disgusting things in private, but is Cheng Feiyu's comprehension really that bad?" Shen Xi glanced at Nagasaki Asuna and glared at him.

"Got it, I'll shut up." The boy zipped up his mouth.

"Shen Xi is really amazing. She remains calm in the face of this kind of onslaught every day. If it were me, I would probably be so confused that I wouldn't even know I'd been sold off." Nagasaki Asuna sighed softly.

"You vixen, as a love-struck fool, the only thing you have that's self-awareness is that you have a little bit of self-awareness," Shen Xi sneered.

"Nana, you can read minds, do you still need the same treatment as her?" The boy opposite said calmly.

"Although I can definitely sense Cheng Fei's feelings for me, sometimes I still crave to hear straightforward sweet nothings?" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "Like being suddenly praised for being cute, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"Okay, I really can't do anything with you. I'll praise you more often in the future. But wanting to be praised for being cute is cute in itself." The boy said seriously.

"..." Nagasaki Asuna seemed to have been caught off guard by an arrow. Her shoulders trembled, and her hands, which had been supporting her chin, silently moved again to cover half of her face.

"Enough, you two are disgusting me." Shen Xi frowned and covered her mouth, looking quite serious.

"Cheng Fei, so what do you eat here?" Nagasaki Asuna looked at the induction cooker embedded in the table, her voice muffled as she spoke, seemingly because she was covering her mouth.

"Hot pot," the boy said casually.

"I thought it would be high-end?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

“If you want something high-end, you can have anything high-end.” The boy shrugged.

At this moment, the waiter brought over a steaming hot pot of oxtail soup, as well as a beautifully presented seafood platter. The eel, sea bream and other fish were sliced ​​into translucent thin slices, the lobster was shelled and cut into sections, and the snow crab legs were removed whole.

"They're actually using these for hot pot?" Nagasaki Asuna was stunned.

“Cheng Fei, you start squandering money as soon as you have it.” Shen Xi frowned as she looked at him.

"Ms. Shen, although I admire your frugal character as the eldest daughter of the Shen and Lin families who are married into a wealthy family, today is to celebrate my promotion, thank you." The young man picked up the brightly colored cocktail in front of him.

Shen Xi's eyes flickered.

453. Nagasaki Asuna thanks Shen Xi for her blessings.

"What promotion did Cheng Fei get?" Nagasaki Asuna asked, picking up her wine glass in response.

"I will be serving as a fund manager at the Lin family's company, launching my own private equity fund. We have already secured 200 million yuan in subscriptions from the Lin family. Please continue to support me in the future." Cheng Fei raised his glass, looking at the aloof young woman who remained motionless. "Teacher Shen, hurry up and cooperate."

Shen Xi glanced at the glass beside her, her expression unreadable as she stared at him. "Cheng Fei, have you forgotten that I'm allergic to alcohol?"

"How could I forget? That's why I ordered you a sparkling drink. Hurry up, cutie." Cheng Fei held the glass up in the air and swirled it around.

Shen Xi then picked up the cup with great reluctance.

"Cheers~" Nagasaki Asuna said.

Three crystal glasses clinked together in the night, their clear, resonant sound echoing.

Shen Xi tentatively took a sip of her sparkling drink, put down the cup, and stared at the boy. "So please explain yourself, Cheng Fei."

"Explain what?" The boy dipped his chopsticks in the grapefruit vinegar used for dipping seafood and tasted it, then added chopped green onions to it according to his own preference.

"What do you mean by a marriage alliance between the Shen and Lin families? Where did you hear that from?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Lin Xuanqi told me, that's why I wanted to ask, Teacher Shen, how many things are you hiding from me? You're actually Lin Xuanqi's cousin? So you two were just playing with me?" The boy's face showed a speechless expression after learning the truth.

"Who's hiding more things from whom?" Shen Xi sneered. "And so what if we're related by blood? Apart from that, we have no connection whatsoever. Don't think that just because I'm from the Lin family, I can't offer you any benefits."

"I was just mentioning it casually. If you don't want to say more, that's fine. The only benefit I want is you." Cheng Fei casually put the abalone, which had been scored, into the pot.

Shen Xi frowned slightly and turned her face away, her stubborn lips tightly closed.

"Shen Xi and Lin are actually in this kind of relationship? The Lin family really has good genes." Nagasaki Asuna sighed, biting her wine glass.

“The Nagasaki family has excellent genes,” Cheng Fei said casually, looking at her.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna silently put down her wine glass and covered her face.

"You vixen, please don't act like you've never been complimented by a man before," Shen Xi said, looking at her with disgust.

"Shen Xi, I can't help it. My heart beats really fast whenever Cheng Fei takes the initiative." Nagasaki Asuna pressed her slender hand against her full breasts, her eyes slightly closed as if sensing some kind of flutter.

"There's no cure. This is all you'll ever be." Shen Xi's brows furrowed, as if she couldn't bear to watch.

"Are you wishing me well? Thank you~" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and smiled.

Shen Xi slapped her forehead and stopped looking at her.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Shen, I have a new plan." Cheng Fei handed one snow crab leg, which had been poached and blossomed like a locust flower, to each of the two girls.

"What are your plans?" Shen Xi stared at him expressionlessly, her small hand holding the chopsticks clenching slightly, a subtle wariness in her expression.

"Teacher Shen, although your reaction of worrying about being murdered again is also cute, I'm talking about serious matters."

"Then hurry up and speak, stop rambling on." Shen Xi said unhappily, kicking him under the table.

"Okay, actually I just think it's about time to expand Xiao Yi's computing power. First, the simulation calculations required for designing robots are becoming more and more complex. Second, my fund size will likely increase rapidly, and management will also require a lot of computing power. Finally, you'll probably be driven crazy by the server in your study." Cheng Fei dipped a crab leg in grapefruit vinegar and sipped it, feeling the sweetness melt on his taste buds.

"So you knew I'd get annoyed by your noise, always suddenly using up your computing power late at night." Shen Xi gritted her teeth, kicking him as if she was recalling unpleasant memories.

"That's all. If Her Majesty the Empress has no objections, I'll consider using our reserve funds as needed," the young man said earnestly.
