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

The boy paused for a moment before remembering that he had asked for leave because of a cold. He said seriously, "I was probably too tired the other day and my immunity was low. I'm fine now."

"Oh, then you must take care of yourself." The girl nodded with a smile.

"Um, thank you." The boy said casually.

"If you're free now, could you teach me how to do this problem? I've been trying to figure it out for ages but I still can't get it right." Zhou Han held up the math problem she had been pressing against her chest.

"Let me see, derivative, right..." The boy, who was used to this situation, immediately got into the lesson.

Not far away, Ruan Jingyi, who was sitting in her original spot memorizing vocabulary, subtly turned her head and glanced at the boy's serious face as he explained the problem. The quiet girl had no expression on her face and continued to memorize her vocabulary.

Then, at some point, her phone vibrated; she had received a message on WeChat.

"I have some business to discuss with your father recently. Could you please ask him when he'll be available? The sooner the better."

Ruan Jingyi turned her head and saw that the boy had finished explaining the problem, her best friend was still lingering and not leaving, and the boy was reading his book as if nothing had happened.

"Um"

I'll ask right away.

Ruan Jingyi quickly replied, picked up her phone, and left the classroom.

……

After school in the afternoon, Cheng Fei walked to the club activity building with his hands in his pockets, and received a WeChat message from Ruan Jingyi on the way.

He invited you to his house for dinner tonight.

467. Shen Xi eats tiramisu

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

The boy replied.

"Won't"

"So you're coming?"

Two replies popped up on Ruan Jingyi's end in a second.

"I'll go to the corridor research department first. If you're free, wait for me in the classroom, and I'll drive you there."

"Um"

Cheng Fei put away his phone and pushed open the door to the club activity room.

"When I pushed open the door, as expected, I saw that aloof young woman sitting by the window reading a book. The soft afternoon sunlight of spring shone on her long, jet-black hair that reached her waist and her slender, snow-white legs. Her eyes were lowered, and her exquisite yet cold face had a translucent beauty that seemed to belong to another dimension. This scene was like a poem that had been passed down through the universe for billions of years, drifting before my eyes..."

The boy sat down nonchalantly and took out his book.

Shen Xi raised her head, her beautiful yet cold face shifting from expressionless to one of disbelief. Her brows furrowed, and she narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the muttering boy. Confusion and disgust were written all over her face. "Has Cheng Feiyu's mental problems finally progressed to the point where he can't control his thoughts and has started spewing out his disgusting delusions in long passages?"

“Teacher Shen, I was clearly expressing my affection for you. Please feel secretly happy about it. By the way, I plan to write this at the beginning of the second chapter of the Rooftop Chronicle. What do you think?” The boy looked at her seriously.

"He hasn't given up creating those kinds of trashy paper that defile the world. Cheng Feiyu is the only one who has been most persistent in this regard." The girl sneered.

"Not at all, the thing I'm most persistent about is liking you."

"nausea."

"I must admit that Her Highness is very persistent in telling me how disgusting it is." The boy nodded.

"Shut up, trash. If all you have to say is this nonsense, just disappear." The girl glared at him.

"Already tired of it? Even when he's professing his love for you."

"Nobody wants to listen to your filthy nonsense all day long."

"Little cutie, you're too proud. If I don't talk to you enough one day, you'll be unhappy again." Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.

"Stop spreading rumors. Please get this straight. The only reason I'm unhappy is because you've done something shady and underhanded again." Shen Xi glared at him fiercely.

"But aren't you very dissatisfied now?" Cheng Fei shrugged.

"So why haven't you realized it yet? That's right, it's my fault. Cheng Feiyu's comprehension ability is only at this level." Shen Xi took a deep breath, turned her face away from the book with annoyance.

The boy was taken aback, surprised. "Did I do something to displease Her Highness again? No way, we've only been apart for less than 24 hours. What happened in between?"

"You know perfectly well what happened," Shen Xi sneered, ignoring him.

The boy pondered for a second, then clasped his hands together and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty. Forgive my ignorance, I truly cannot think of such a thing."

Shen Xi glanced at him sideways and gave a cold laugh, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"So, I'm just a bum with no flesh on my legs and a perpetually sullen face, which makes me inferior to them, right?" The girl's gaze turned icy and sharp, as if she wanted to kill someone.

The boy was shocked. "Did Lin Xuanqi have another episode and send you messages to provoke you? My dear Teacher Shen, you really know how to eat—"

His words abruptly stopped, and he made a labored sound as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

Shen Xi stared at him without saying a word, her eyes slightly narrowed.

The boy patted his chest and took a breath, then coughed lightly. "You really know how to eat tiramisu. You actually believed that kind of lie? You know very well how much I like your legs. You walk around in front of me all the time. If you hadn't refused, I would have already wanted to do all sorts of things with your legs."

"Ha, you two-faced Cheng Feiyu, who knows which side is your sweet talk?" Shen Xi turned her face away.

"Then don't move. I'll prove which side is real with my actions right now." The boy pretended to get up.

"Cheng Fei, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!" Shen Xi's expression changed, and she quickly covered her chest with her hands, turning to face him sideways. Her slender legs under her school uniform skirt were also pressed tightly against the wall.

"Tch, you get scared when I'm serious, Shen Xi. Just stay arrogant like this forever, anyway, you're cute when you're arrogant." The boy sat back down.

The girl's eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth. "Cheng Fei, and I've already said I don't want to hear the word 'jealous' again."

"I didn't say that, did I?"

“Similar expressions are also prohibited!” The girl turned and stared at him.

"Did I say anything that violated this rule?" The boy's doubt seemed genuine.

"Then what does eating tiramisu mean?" the girl asked, raising her chin and speaking louder.

"It means exactly what it says, you don't like tiramisu?"

"Cheng Fei, I don't want to see you playing word games with me!"

"Sweetie, you're so domineering! Should I still buy you tiramisu in the future?"

"Ha, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to!"

"Of course I want to buy it, I want to buy it for the rest of my life, so you can't stop me from talking about it, can you?"

"If you really want to buy it, you shouldn't use it as a tool for manipulating words, you hypocrite Cheng Feiyu!" The girl frowned and gritted her teeth.

"Don't you think the idea of ​​eating tiramisu is cute? I'll go buy it for you later, so don't be angry."

Just then, the door to the club activity room was pushed open, and Nagasaki Asuna walked in and closed the door. Her gaze swept over the two of them, and she tilted her head, asking, "What are you two talking about buying?"

"I'm going to buy tiramisu for Shen Xi later. Does Nana want a matcha roll?" Cheng Fei asked casually.

"Huh? I want it!" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

Shen Xi lowered her head to read her book and let out a cold laugh that was hard to decipher.

Asuna Nagasaki sat down opposite Cheng Fei and, like him, took out a pile of books and began to read.

The boy looked up and said, "Teacher Shen, how much longer are you going to pretend to be a pretentious artsy girl? Come sit down here, we need to talk about serious matters."

"I wasn't pretending." A cold voice came from the other end.

"Yes, yes, our minister is a literary girl who sits by the window reading every day, so please come over quickly."

Shen Xi reluctantly moved the steel pipe chair, making a loud noise, and sat down between Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna with a cold expression.

"Gentlemen, first of all, congratulations on the successful implementation of our plan and the successful securing of 200 million in investment for the company." The young man finished speaking and clapped.

Asuna Nagasaki smiled and then clapped softly.

Shen Xi scoffed, "Don't forget that the guy surnamed Lin will only give you the money after he sees the project proposal."

"No problem, Nana, this task is yours."

Asuna Nagasaki blinked. "Should I write it? But I have absolutely no idea how, and I'm a little worried about making a mistake."

"Let Xiao Yi write it, and you can check and proofread it."

"I see? I understand." Nagasaki Asuna nodded.

"As expected, Cheng Feiyu's greatest skills are swindling and taking advantage of troubled situations. This time, he actually managed to swindle two hundred million from you. That Lin guy is incredibly stupid." Shen Xi said with disdain, not knowing who the target was.

468. Ruan Jingyi got into Cheng Fei's car again.

"Don't mention it, Professor Shen. In the end, Lin Xuanqi was willing to take out 200 million yuan because she saw the actual product. Our Real Technology's technological prowess, which is ahead of its time, is right here. Any other investor would have given the money without hesitation." Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Perhaps. If I hadn't personally participated in this scam, I would have truly believed such a thing," Shen Xi sneered.

"Teacher Shen, so what's with this feeling of not being complicit? The three of us worked together so well when we committed the crime. Don't you think this feeling of being a couple scamming each other is pretty good?" the boy said casually.

After the casually spoken words fell, the air in the room fell silent for a moment.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna, who was resting her chin on her hand and watching the two talk, blinked.

"What fraud?" Shen Xi's pupils contracted, her small face showing shock, then her deep eyes lost focus and became empty. "Cheng Fei, please explain clearly who you mean by this so-called couple?"

"I'm referring to..." the boy observed the girl's expression, drawing out the last syllable, "of course it's the two of us, Ms. Shen. Is there a problem? Besides, Nana shouldn't mind this way of putting it, right?"

Nagasaki Asuna met his gaze, and they exchanged a knowing look. "I'm fine, actually?"

"You used three subjects earlier." Shen Xi stared at the boy, her voice carrying a chill.

"Teacher Shen, what's with all this subject stuff? Can we not be so formal in our speech? You seem to care a lot about this sentence. You don't suspect that when I said 'husband and wife,' I meant three people, do you? This extreme sensitivity to identity issues is quite cute. You really love tiramisu."

"Don't think I can't see through your clumsy attempts to test my limits again. You're such a piece of trash who's always pushing your luck and never knows when to stop!" The girl took a deep breath and kicked him hard under the table.

"Teacher Shen, so you're tacitly accepting that we're husband and wife?" the young man asked calmly.

"You're daydreaming again. Get your facts straight. Nobody here is your spouse. The only one trying to fool you is you, you cunning and treacherous aquatic mammal. I was just instigated by you to play along." Shen Xi kicked him again.

"It's also cute when they obediently admit that they were instigated by me."

“Nana was also instigated.” Nagasaki Asuna blinked her clear, innocent eyes and suddenly raised a hand.

“Nana is cute too, of course.” The boy looked at her.

"Hehe~" Nagasaki Asuna was happy.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and scanned the two of them, her expression turning extremely disgusted.

"Teacher Shen, it's too much to be staring with uneven eyes like that. Okay, let's get down to business." Cheng Fei clapped his hands forcefully, causing Shen Xi, who was about to speak, to blink unconsciously, like a child startled by firecrackers.

“Okay, so what should I say?” Nagasaki Asuna sat up straight.

"In short, now that we have money, we can roughly expand the company's scale," Cheng Fei said slowly.

……

After the club activity ended, the boy went to the school gate to buy a cake, then brought it back to the two people waiting for the bus on the roadside.

"Teacher Shen, Nana, please have some."

Facing the respectful young man, Shen Xi accepted the tiramisu expressionlessly, lowering her eyes, and said, "Thank you."

"So, isn't Cheng Fei going back yet?" Nagasaki Asuna took her matcha roll and tilted her head.

"I have important business to attend to, otherwise I would have driven you there," the boy said seriously.

"Oh? I see. Well then, Cheng Fei, thank you for your hard work."

"Hard work? I hope you're not out fooling around with some girl again." Shen Xi scoffed.

"Teacher Shen, no matter which girl I go out with, my heart will only be with you and Nana. Thank you."

"Shut up. It's disgusting that you're saying such greedy things so casually." Shen Xi frowned and kicked him.
