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

"Maybe the organization you want has already been established. I think it's better for us to keep a low profile. We're living the life we ​​have now, so let's not cause any trouble."

"You just want to be Xuanqi's maid, kill a few people on the side, and then stay at home reading romance comics? Master Ye, you're really pragmatic."

"I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore," the girl pouted.

"Master Ye, so Xuanqi's intuition is really accurate?"

"What are you trying to say now?"

"Then it seems necessary for her to have me protect you."

"I can't think of any reason why I need your protection."

"We should trust Xuanqi's judgment."

"You don't need to teach me this."

"So if Xuanqi isn't worried that I have ulterior motives towards you, then you shouldn't overthink it."

"Miss isn't omnipotent!"

“Master Ye, you can’t believe something just because you think it’s useful, and then disbelieve it just because you think it’s useless. That would be feudal superstition. Xuanqi trusts me completely, and you should trust me just the same way.”

"If I didn't trust you, I would have thrown you into the sea long ago!" the girl said, a little annoyed.

"That's true, alright. I didn't expect you to be so proud and aloof at times, Master Ye. It's quite cute."

"Cheng Fei! Stop calling me 'cute' all the time, I don't want to hear you say that."

"You get upset when people say you're cute?"

"I don't want you to compliment me. You're the lady's boyfriend; we should keep our distance!"

“Master Ye, you’re carrying too much of a burden. Xuanqi doesn’t know anything about what’s going on here.”

Ye Shuang was furious. "Just because you don't know doesn't mean you can talk nonsense. Do you want to do something reckless again if you get the chance?"

"No, no, it's not that bad. First of all, 'cute' is just a common way of saying it."

"Ugh, I don't want to talk to you anymore." The girl walked quickly toward the group of people observing the constellations, leaving the boy with his twin ponytails swaying behind her.

484. The two received flowers.

The host of the zodiac observation activity said, "Next, we will have the Zodiac Message Bottle activity. You can write a message for a stranger on a sticky note and put it into your own zodiac bottle. Then take another bottle, open it, and see the message from a stranger of the same zodiac sign."

It wasn't a particularly fun activity, but many people still actively participated and enjoyed the process.

Ye Shuang caught a glimpse of Cheng Fei approaching, and as if to avoid him, she turned her head and walked forward to get an empty message bottle. She found a place to sit down, wrote her message, handed it to the staff, and then casually picked up another message bottle to open it.

"Master Ye, what does it say on it?" A familiar, nonchalant voice rang in my ears.

The girl glanced sideways and saw the boy with his hands in his pockets leaning close to her and peeking out.

"Why are you here again? If you want to see it, go write it yourself," the girl said irritably.

"I'm not interested in this kind of activity, I just want to see what you got."

Ye Shuang first turned her back to him to look at the note, then turned around after a moment and handed it to him, pouting, "What does this sentence mean? Translate it for me."

"Let me see." Cheng Fei took it and found that it contained a poetic English sentence. He pondered for a moment, looked into the girl's eyes, and said softly, "What's more dangerous than an iceberg is a fluttering heart?"

Ye Shuang stared at him without blinking, then looked away, her expression indifferent, and said, "Oh."

……

After the event ended and the passengers gathered on the open deck dispersed, leaving only those who were bored and enjoying the sea breeze, Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang decided to return to their cabin.

"Master Ye, how about we watch a horror movie together later?" The boy put his hands behind his head, looking rather bored.

"I won't look." The girl standing beside me said coldly.

"Then what are you going to do? It's not even nine o'clock yet."

"Take a shower, read comics, and go to sleep."

"Together?"

"What did you say?!" The girl turned her head sharply to glare at him, her fists clenched.

"I mean reading comics, not anything else?" The boy's expression hardened, and he raised his hands in surrender.

The girl's gaze flickered, then she turned her face away and said coldly, "That won't do either."

"Why didn't we watch them together before?"

"I want to watch it while lying on the bed."

“I can watch with you… uh, can’t you watch it on the sofa? It’s bad for your eyes to lie down.” The boy started to say, but quickly changed his mind under the girl’s increasingly unfriendly gaze.

“You always urge me to turn the page every time I look at it.” The girl’s eyes sparkled.

"I won't urge you anymore."

The girl took a deep breath. "Can't you tell? I want to keep my distance from you, so don't even think about it."

"Alright." The boy nodded, then changed the subject, "How about we go to the spa area and soak in the artificial hot spring together?"

"Cheng Fei!" The girl stomped her foot.

"Master Ye, what's wrong now?" the young man asked, looking her over.

The girl gritted her teeth. "I don't even read comics with you. Do you think I'd go to a hot spring with you? Don't dream about it."

"I was just asking casually, if you don't want to think about it, that's fine too." The boy looked completely honest.

"I'm so annoyed, I don't want to talk to you." Ye Shuang quickened her pace.

Not long after the two returned to their room, there was a knock on the door.

Cheng Fei opened the door, and the suite's butler handed him a bouquet of white tulips. "Sir, this is a flower delivery service ordered for you by another guest."

"Who sent it?" the boy asked suspiciously.

"The guest who sent the flowers requested confidentiality, but he said you'll understand when you see the card. So, I'll take my leave now. Good night," the butler said, turning and leaving.

As Cheng Fei brought the things into the living room, Ye Shuang came out of the shower. Seeing the boy with the flowers, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Cheng Fei! What do you want now?"

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback.

"Please stop doing these ambiguous things to me. I won't accept the flowers!" the girl said seriously.

"Master Ye, you've misunderstood. This was given to you by someone else, not by me," the young man said, looking at her.

Ye Shuang opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

"Speaking of which, Master Ye, after seeing you with pigtails so often, I think you look even prettier with your hair down." The young man looked her over seriously.

The girl in pajamas had her smooth black hair cascading over her shoulders, giving her an extra touch of gentleness than usual, and her beautiful features were pleasing to the eye.

Ye Shuang paused for a second, then shifted her gaze and asked in a muffled voice, "Where did this flower come from?"

"Let me see." Cheng Fei picked up the greeting card that came with the bouquet and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, it's from Ding Sheng."

"Hmm?" Ye Shuang tilted her head and blinked, looking surprised and confused.

Cheng Fei quickly took the items to the coffee table and examined them carefully, confirming that they were just a bunch of ordinary white tulips and a greeting card.

Cheng Fei picked up the greeting card, rubbed his chin, and read the words aloud: "Instead of wasting energy playing hide-and-seek, why not enjoy this rare vacation time?"

"How did he find us?" Ye Shuang sat next to him, her brows furrowed.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "Considering that our identities are completely ordinary people, it's likely that the two of them will be exposed first, and we'll be exposed when we meet this afternoon. That's why Ding Sheng sent the things at this time."

"Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have cooperated with them." Ye Shuang rubbed her temples.

"It's too late to regret it now." Cheng Fei shook his head. "Let's think about what Ding Sheng is trying to express."

"What's there to think about? It's just a warning to us." Ye Shuang narrowed her eyes.

"Not entirely. White tulips symbolize pure love or true friendship, as well as lost love and melancholy." Cheng Fei paused. "If he's not expressing his love for us, then it's just an expression of friendship. Does he want to reconcile temporarily?"

"We must find out who will reconcile with him," Ye Shuang said without hesitation.

"Master Ye, I think we can give up now."

"Why?!"

“Think about it, the fact that he has the leisure to send flowers means he’s fearless. Before, we were okay because we were in the shadows, but now we’re completely exposed. The cruise ship is so big, we can’t find him even if he hides somewhere. If he disguises himself as a staff member and sneaks into a restricted area for passengers, there’s even less of a chance. The worst-case scenario is that the captain is protecting him, then we will have absolutely no chance of finding him.” The boy shrugged.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Ye Shuang asked, her tone displeased.

"Whatever, since there's nothing we can do about him, let's just enjoy our vacation and find another opportunity when we get off the ship," the boy said casually.

"Are you kidding me? You know he's on the ship!" the girl raised her voice.

"Master Ye, don't get agitated. I understand how you feel, but rationally speaking, that's the truth. Otherwise, do you have any good ideas? How about we beat up the captain and make him order a full-scale search of the ship?"

Ye Shuang opened her mouth, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Then I can't give up so easily."

“Of course, we can continue to wander around the ship and try our luck. Maybe he will let his guard down and we will suddenly bump into each other. What do you think?” Cheng Fei looked at the girl.

"That's the only way." The girl nodded with great reluctance.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow, Master Ye. Relax and enjoy your vacation." The young man smiled.

485. Nagasaki Asuna is in longing.

Ye Shuang ultimately refused Cheng Fei's suggestion to read comics together, so the boy had no choice but to go back to his bedroom and read by himself.

Midway through, I received a message from the tea ceremony teacher via WeChat.

"Cheng Fei"

"What's wrong?"

"We showed the business plan to Lin today, and she was very satisfied and has already signed the shareholding agreement."

"Thanks for your hard work"

"Cheng Fei"

"what?"

"How was it being with Ye Shuang?"

"Did Lin Xuanqi tell you?"

"Yes, Shen Xi knows too."

What was her reaction?

"It's alright, but you've started calling Cheng Fei 'that jerk' or something in front of me?"

"..."

"By the way, do you like Ye Shuang's twin tails and white over-the-knee socks?"

"?"

Did you think of Nana while you were playing?

"I didn't do anything, thank you."

"Does 'not doing anything' mean you held hands or kissed?"

"No one said thank you."

"I don't believe it"

Are you jealous?

"No"

"They really didn't do anything, they just verbally tried to gain some goodwill."

"Your favorability rating must be off the charts by now, right?"
