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

"Master Ye, everyone says it was an accident, why are you being so unreasonable?" The young man looked helpless. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Actually, there's something I want to ask you."

"What?" Ye Shuang stared at him expressionlessly.

"Do you also experience time-zeroing?"

479. The two who began their search

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shuang frowned, blinked, and then stared at the boy again, "What does Shi Ling mean?"

"Hey, haven't you read Dragon Raja? It's about slowing down the flow of time in the outside world while making yourself faster. You just used that, right?" Cheng Fei said seriously.

Ye Shuang paused for a second, then raised her chin. "How did you know?"

"Because I can do that too. I just used Time Zero to escape, and I noticed your voice didn't slow down, so I guessed it." The boy shrugged. "Master Ye, I didn't expect we were the same kind of people."

"What kind of kind? You mean there are many people who can... Shi Ling?" Ye Shuang frowned.

"I don't know. I always thought I was unique, and I kept it a secret. I even chose the name Shi Ling myself." The boy smacked his lips, a look of regret on his face as he realized he wasn't the protagonist.

Ye Shuang's eyes flickered. "Then why are you still so weak?"

"..."

"What's wrong?" The girl with pigtails tilted her head.

"Master Ye, don't be so arrogant. I heard your voice was normal just now, which means that our time slowdown ratios are about the same. I was just careless and didn't take precautions."

Looking at the defiant young man, Ye Shuang's gaze softened with pity. "I used that speed because I thought it would be enough to deal with you."

"..." The young man stroked his chin imperceptibly. "Let's leave that aside for now. Master Ye, I'm very curious how you learned Time Zero?"

"You were born with it, aren't you?" Ye Shuang's eyes showed even more doubt.

"..." The boy remained silent, pursed his lips, "I only learned this after fighting with you many times."

"No wonder you're so weak." Ye Shuang suddenly realized.

The young man pondered for a second, then looked up and asked, "Master Ye, by the way, what's the fastest you can go?"

"Why should I tell you?" the girl asked warily.

"We're master and disciple, what's wrong with talking about that?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I can tell you're trying to spy on me." The girl narrowed her eyes.

"Don't be like that, why are you treating us like enemies?"

“We are the enemy.” Ye Shuang glared at him.

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

"Don't think I've forgotten that you took advantage of me earlier. From today onwards, I'll keep an eye on you for Miss. If you ever dare to wrong Miss again, I will absolutely not let you off!"

"Master Ye, I already said that was an accident. Do you think I could have controlled that situation?" The boy scratched his head.

"It's no use arguing with me. I advise you to give up on that idea and behave yourself from now on."

“Master Ye, have you ever thought that we might be the only two people with superpowers in the world? Let’s not worry about such trivial matters. Don’t you think our meeting has a sense of destiny? We should cherish each other.”

"Don't try to get close to me. Don't think I can't see through you. You're not trying to be friendly." The girl crossed her arms over her chest, her expression unchanged.

"Master Ye, you've been reading too many romance comics. You don't actually think I like you, do you? Although you are quite pretty and have a lovely personality, I can't abandon Xuanqi for you. Although we are both special individuals, we are destined to only be friends." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"Cheng Fei, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rough!" Ye Shuang's eyebrows furrowed, and she clenched her fair little fists.

"Master Ye, calm down." The boy raised his hands in surrender.

I thought Shi Ling would be able to easily defeat Ye Shuang, but I didn't expect her to have the same extraordinary ability. I should have guessed it; there's no such thing as a blank extraordinary attribute...

The girl with pigtails took a deep breath and pinched her brow. "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Let's get on with the mission."

"Okay, let's go then." Cheng Fei quickly stood up.

Ye Shuang took two steps toward the door, then suddenly turned her head and looked at him intently.

"Master Ye, what's wrong?" The young man's expression turned serious.

"There's one more thing."

"please say."

"My ability is not called Time Zero."

"What's it called?"

“Platinum Star.” The girl turned her face away, enunciating each word clearly.

The boy paused for a second, then said, "You've been reading too many comics, haven't you? You don't actually have a Stand, do you?"

"I like it! It's none of your business!" Ye Shuang said irritably, opening the door and walking out.

The boy stared at her retreating figure and muttered, "Platinum Star? Why don't you just call it the World?"

……

After a morning of inexplicable twists and turns, the young boy and girl officially began their search mission and cruise vacation.

Led by Cheng Fei, the two first arrived at a magnificent golden gate.

"This isn't a casino?" Ye Shuang looked up and frowned.

“That’s right. Ding Sheng has a large sum of money and might squander it here, so we’ll pretend to be gamblers and go in to take a look.” The boy said seriously.

The girl thought about it seriously and nodded, "Okay, let's exchange some chips first."

So half an hour later.

Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding gamblers, the pretty girl with pigtails desperately dragged away the handsome young man who was lingering at the gambling table with bloodshot eyes.

"Master Ye, let me go! I don't believe my luck is that bad!"

"Gambling is a losing proposition, nine out of ten times. Let's hurry up and go, we have important business to attend to!"

"This is Texas Hold'em. Once I finish calculating the cards, I'm definitely going to win. What happened just now was an accident!"

"You've already lost tens of thousands! If you keep this up, I'm really going to tell the lady!"

"Master Ye, it's only a few tens of thousands of yuan, why are you being so stingy!"

"Cheng Fei!"

……

"Sigh, Master Ye, if you hadn't pulled me back earlier, I might have turned the tables in the next round," the young man sighed as he walked through the passageway outside the casino.

"Wait here for a moment," the girl said abruptly, then walked to the side.

"Master Ye, what are you doing? Playing the claw machine? That's so childish."

"Quiet down, I want to grab that."

"Comic book merchandise? Okay."

Half an hour later.

Under the astonished gazes of passing travelers, the handsome young man desperately pulled away the twin-tailed girl who was clinging to the claw machine with an angry expression.

"Cheng Fei, don't pull me! If you keep doing this, I'll tell Miss!"

"Master Ye, stop picking up the pieces! You've already spent thousands of yuan on that. You could use that money to buy more things back home. Wake up!"

"You're so annoying! You just lost tens of thousands, and I only spent a little!"

"That doll's position and shape are bad; you might not be able to grab it even if you try all day!"

"I'm about to grab it, let go of me!"

"Master Ye!"

……

The two searched (gambling) until noon without finding anything, and dragged their tired steps to the Japanese restaurant on the ship.

Ye Shuang ordered a sushi platter and takoyaki for herself, while Cheng Fei ordered eel rice, beef bowl, and grilled beef tongue. He also saw a pineapple bun on the menu and ordered one as well.

When the food was served, the boy pushed the pineapple bun in front of the girl with pigtails, and said respectfully, "Chef Ye, this is for you as an apology for this morning."

The golden bread, perfectly round and plump, is just the right size to hold in one hand and exudes a wonderful aroma.

Ye Shuang glanced at it, her expression subtle, "I don't want it."

480. Ye Shuang wanted to keep her distance.

"Why don't you want it? Why won't you forgive me?" Cheng Fei looked into Ye Shuang's eyes.

"No." The girl pouted, put a piece of tuna sushi into her mouth, and rested her chin on her hand, scanning the restaurant's customers as if she were intently searching for a target.

"Why then?"

"For no reason."

"Why is there no reason?" The boy peered into the girl's field of vision.

"Just for no reason." The girl turned her head to the other side.

"Why is that?" The boy peered in a different direction.

"..." The girl tilted her head again.

"Master Ye, why don't you look at me when you speak?"

Ye Shuang gritted her teeth, turned her head sharply, and glared at him fiercely, "No means no, you're so annoying with all this asking!"

The boy raised his hands in surrender, "Master Ye, you're so fierce! What did I do to offend you? Can't you smile at me?"

The girl with pigtails took a deep breath, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and pinched her brow. Then she raised her head, her expression changing to a warm, obedient smile. She tilted her head and said in a clear, gentle voice, "I especially hate pineapple buns~ Are you satisfied now? Cheng Fei, if you're satisfied, please stop talking. I want to eat in peace."

The boy shivered for no reason, took the pineapple bun back to himself, and said, "I'll eat it myself."

The boy took a bite of the round, plump, crispy crust of the bread and muttered, "Isn't this pretty delicious? It's fragrant and soft. There are actually people in this world who don't like it."

A crisp cracking sound came from the other side.

Cheng Fei looked up and saw that Ye Shuang's chopsticks had been snapped in two by her delicate white hands.

"Cheng Fei, don't think I can't see what you mean." The girl with pigtails smiled unchanged. From the perspective of passersby, they would probably only envy the guy across from them for having a beautiful and elegant girlfriend.

"Huh? What's wrong with me? Is it wrong to eat a pineapple bun?" the boy asked in surprise.

Ye Shuang glanced at the pineapple bun he was holding and had taken a bite out of, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural. "If you keep teasing me like this, I'll go back and tell Miss everything, and you can explain it to her yourself."

"Master Ye, I think you're overthinking things again. What exactly are you imagining?" the boy asked, looking puzzled.

Ye Shuang maintained her smile, her eyelids twitching slightly. "Cheng Fei, stop pretending. Aren't you implying I have small breasts by holding this bread?"

The boy seemed to choke up.

"Are you unable to speak?" the girl asked, staring at him.

“Master Ye, I absolutely did not mean that. Generally speaking, you are already at an average level, much better than many girls who are like rolling hills on a plain.” The boy looked pained, recalling the feeling of his elbow supporting him that morning.

The assessment of Zhong Lei remains unchanged.

"Cheng Fei, I really want to beat you up right now and send you to the medical center for a few days." The girl squinted at him, her small fists clenching and unclenching.

"Don't do that, Master Ye. How can you be so heartless? Besides, I have to protect you. I was just mentioning it casually, following what you said. If you don't like hearing it, then forget it."

Ye Shuang took a deep breath, turned her face away, and said with a flicker in her eyes, "If any other boy dared to say these things to me, I would have killed him long ago."

"Thank you, Master Ye, for sparing my life." The young man clasped his hands together in gratitude.

The girl turned her gaze back to him, her expression becoming inscrutable.

"Master Ye, what are you looking at?"

"Cheng Fei, I'd appreciate it if you could keep your distance from me from now on." The girl sighed softly, seemingly helpless.
