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

The boy's expression changed. "Xuanqi, I was just using a nickname to tease her. If you two want to argue, you can argue yourselves. Can you just leave me alone?"

Even though the plane was two rows away, the boy's mournful cries, sandwiched between the young lady, could still be clearly heard before takeoff.

Chen Hao gloated, "This kid will ruin himself sooner or later, he deserves it."

"It's really not easy to play visual novels in the real world," Du Xinhua sighed.

"Isn't this kind of life quite interesting in a way?" The deputy squad leader next to him pushed up his glasses and smiled.

On the other side, Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi were also eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Ruan Jingyi, I feel like Shen Xi is really clueless when it comes to relationships. After all this arguing, Cheng Fei still doesn't realize that Shen Xi likes him. We really need to help Shen Xi so that she can replace Lin Xuanqi sooner." The petite girl whispered in her best friend's ear.

Ruan Jingyi responded with a soft "Mmm".

514. The two were just passing notes.

Once takeoff, Cheng Fei was finally freed from the hell of the young lady's quarrel.

Lin Xuanqi put on an eye mask, switched the chair to a recline position, and leaned back in a comfortable posture.

"Xuanqi, what are you doing?" The boy's hand moved toward her shapely legs covered in pantyhose.

"Adjusting to the time difference." Lin Xuanqi slapped his restless hand away.

"Is it necessary? Just let it simmer for a little while."

Logically, everyone should start preparing for jet lag from Friday. In reality, most students who have just embarked on their journey are in a state of excitement, chatting with their seatmates, watching dramas, and playing small board games like UNO that they have prepared in advance.

Incidentally, a girl with pigtails behind him picked up a magazine after looking around, and Cheng Fei had reason to suspect that it contained a romance comic.

"Take your time, I'm not like you, I don't get tired like an ox." Lin Xuanqi said irritably.

"Okay, good night."

Lin Xuanqi put in earplugs to block out noise and stopped moving.

Beside them, Shen Xi, who was reading a book, looked indifferent and subtly glanced at them as they talked.

Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed, then took out his own book to read. He was planning the design of the humanoid robot's torso.

The flight lasted twelve hours. After the initial noise subsided, some students chose to sleep, and the cabin gradually quieted down, with only occasional voices and the background noise of the engine running.

While Shen Xi was focused on her book, a small note was quietly handed to the small table in front of her.

The girl frowned slightly, glanced suspiciously at the boy next to her who was seriously studying reference books, and picked up the note to read the small print on it.

"Are you there, Teacher Shen?"

The girl subtly turned her head and saw that half of Lin Xuanqi's face was covered by an eye mask, and she was lying motionless under the blanket she had asked the flight attendant for.

The girl paused for a second, picked up a pen, and wrote small, neat characters on the paper, just like her own appearance.

"What's gotten into Cheng Feiyu this time?"

Then, the girl placed the note on the small table in front of the boy.

The boy touched the note, wrote a reply as if taking notes, and handed it back.

"As expected of Teacher Shen, even her handwriting is so beautiful."

Shen Xi received the note, her brows furrowing even more as she wrote a reply.

"I can tolerate your hypocritical and disgusting flattery, but your handwriting really is as awful as a dog's scribbles. What's going on?"

The boy casually glanced at her.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to pass notes with you like this since it's a rare opportunity. Don't you think it feels like we're dating too early?"

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, seemingly displeased.

"You're crazy! Nobody here is dating you. Besides, aren't you afraid that guy surnamed Lin will suddenly wake up and catch you red-handed? Are you deliberately courting death?"

"You're Shen Xi, the shut-in internet addict I had a crush on back then. By the way, I'm not afraid of her at all now."

Because the seats on the plane were arranged in an alternating pattern, even Ye Shuang, who was sitting diagonally behind, couldn't see where the two were. She could only barely see the window on the other side of the cabin, but the three boys there were engrossed in a handheld game, allowing the two to pass notes back and forth.

"Don't try to label me. Ha, you're getting more and more arrogant. You'll get burned sooner or later."

"If things go wrong, I'll confront her. Don't you want that?"

"It's not surprising that Cheng Feiyu is corrupted by this decadent lifestyle and willing to spend his whole life with her, since she's treating you incredibly well right now."

"You're being stubborn again, little cutie. I'm asking if you want it or not?"

"There's no such thing as hope or hope. It was part of the agreement. If I can't keep it, it just means I'm utterly disappointed in you and will treat you like a dead person, and that's the end of it."

"Shen Xi, don't worry, I'll confront her sooner or later. It's possible now, but not necessary. The time isn't right yet."

"If you weren't acting out of a guilty conscience, you wouldn't need to go to the trouble of emphasizing this here."

"I just wanted to put your mind at ease. You were a little angry just now, weren't you, sweetheart?"

"Heh, there's nothing to be angry about. I just can't stand the way you and her are colluding."

"Shen Xi, relax. You've been the winner from the start. Don't bother with her."

"If you're just going to write this nonsense to pollute my eyes, you might as well chew up this paper and swallow it now, so she doesn't find out and miss your best opportunity."

In the quiet seats, Lin Xuanqi breathed evenly. The two of them were reading and taking notes on their respective small tables. As the top two students in the grade, they wouldn't be surprised if curious students noticed them occasionally, let alone discover that they were exchanging notes that looked like chat logs from time to time.

"Although I like you a lot and want to taste you from head to toe, eating your handwriting is still too much. Actually, there's something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you'll consider it seriously."

"reject"

"Shouldn't you at least wait until I write it down?"

"Heh, no need to guess, every time Cheng Feiyu uses this kind of opening line, it's because he's trying to push his luck again."

"Teacher Shen, if I hadn't tried so hard to win you over, do you think we would be in such a loving relationship today?"

"Daydreaming, there's no one here who'll be your sweetheart."

"Fine, whatever. What I really want to say is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we won't have a proper meeting this week."

"Oh, yeah, congratulations Cheng Fei, you haven't had a proper meeting for a whole two weeks."

"Shen Xi, if possible, I'd like to go on a date with you every time we have a meeting, so you can stay in my arms all day long."

"Stop these disgusting delusions, and the word 'stop' is even more absurd. What exactly are you trying to express?"

"Well, since we can't have a proper meeting, I suggest that we hold hands or hug whenever we want during this school trip."

The aloof girl received the note, her brows furrowing in confusion and disgust, as if she had witnessed two slender black tentacles suddenly emerging from beneath the book in front of her.

"Has Cheng Feiyu completely lost her mind? What on earth caused you to have such absurd and bizarre delusions? There's a limit to pushing your luck. You might as well just say that from now on I'll let you do whatever you want anytime, anywhere. Please make it clear that you haven't severed ties with that Lin guy yet. We're just friends. Holding hands and hugging casually once a week is already the maximum tolerance I can give you."

The girl wrote quickly, soon producing a long paragraph, then gently bit her lip and placed the note over to the boy.

The boy glanced at her beautiful yet fierce profile.

"Teacher Shen, I made this suggestion because we won't have much time alone this week, so let's break it down into smaller parts. This is just a special measure for this week's special circumstances. Please calm down and think it over carefully. Thank you for your help."

The boy handed over the note, but received no reply for a long time.

The girl placed the note on the book, seemingly ignoring it completely, her brow furrowed as she stared intently at the book.

The boy tilted his head slightly to observe her.

After a long while, the girl finally made a move, writing a reply on the note with a look of disgust.

"Since you're looking for death, I'll reluctantly not object. But please make it clear that this is a special case limited to this week only. Also, don't try to touch me like a lowly animal in heat whenever you get the chance. I'll be disappointed if you do that."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, it won't be anything too outrageous. It will only be normal physical contact. Also, please keep this note safe and deal with it after you get off the plane."

Shen Xi stared at the note in silence for a moment, then folded it up and put it into the inner pocket of her small handbag.

515. Three people playing cards

After passing the note, the two went back to reading.

After a while, Shen Xi pinched the bridge of her nose, put down her book, leaned back in her chair, and turned her head to look out the porthole at the vast sea of ​​clouds thousands of meters above the ground.

The aloof young woman had no expression, and her deep, dark eyes clearly reflected the vast sky.

At a certain moment, the girl seemed to sense something and turned her head, only to find the boy silently watching her profile. When their eyes met, the boy gave her his usual smile.

The girl seemed not to see him and continued to look out the window.

The boy reached out to the girl, took her idle little hand, and skillfully pried open her fingers to interlock them. He held her cold, soft hand tightly, feeling as if he wanted to become one with her.

The girl twisted and turned but couldn't break free. She squinted and glared at him with murderous eyes. The boy seemed not to see it. He leaned back in his seat, kneaded the girl's small hand, and sighed silently as if he were very comfortable. He then stared at Lin Xuanqi, who was fast asleep on the other side, as if he intended to keep her in this state until she woke up.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth, staring intently at the two intertwined hands. After a long silence, she pulled down the sunshade of the porthole, frowned, and closed her eyes, as if she were having a nightmare.

The scalding heat from the boy's strong palm brought a strange sense of comfort and peace. Not long after the girl closed her eyes, her consciousness gradually became hazy, and her breathing became even without her noticing. Her beautiful face became serene.

When the girl's long eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes again, she saw a flight attendant pushing a cart and distributing food to each seat. The students were whispering among themselves. There was also a meal in front of her, consisting of a sandwich, yogurt, and nuts.

The girl instinctively clenched her fists, only to find she had grasped nothing. She realized that a blanket had been covering her, and the boy next to her was playing cards with Lin Xuanqi.

Shen Xi rubbed her eyes and lifted the blanket, making a rustling sound.

"Good morning, Ms. Shen," the boy next to her said casually, noticing her presence.

"What time is it?" Shen Xi asked expressionlessly.

"It's eight in the morning in London, although we still have five or six hours before we land." The boy held a deck of cards in one hand and a chicken roll in the other, with three uneaten items in front of him, yet his appetite was still astonishing.

"Teacher Shen, right? Good morning, right? Cheng Fei, I've noticed you're really polite to her." Lin Xuanqi, who was also holding a deck of cards, raised her eyebrows and pinched his waist.

"Hiss... Xuanqi, are you jealous? We're all friends."

"Stop talking nonsense and play your cards quickly, we've got this game in the bag!"

"Tch, that's not necessarily true."

Shen Xi took a yogurt, inserted a straw, and watched the two interact with an indifferent expression. She noticed several board games like Ludo on the table and suspected that someone had borrowed them by using their connections. It seemed that the two had been playing together for a long time.

The aloof girl narrowed her eyes and silently ate her sandwich.

After the two finished a game, the boy suddenly said, "How about we invite her to join us for a game of Dou Dizhu?"

"Hey Cheng Fei, you're worried she'll be bored, right?" Lin Xuanqi said irritably.

"Xuanqi, although it's kind of cute that you get jealous all the time, I just want it to be more fun with more people around."

"Heh, so you mean it's no fun playing with me?"

"Xuanqi, I think you're just asking for love. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."

"Hey, what are you doing? Let go! Get lost! There are so many people here, don't try to think of anything funny. You have no shame, but I do!" Lin Xuanqi slapped him in a low voice.

Shen Xi felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

“Then I’ll call her,” the boy said.

"Ha, you think she'd be willing to come? You have quite the nerve."

"Teacher Shen, how about we play Dou Dizhu together?" the boy turned around.

"No way, I have no interest in playing games with that jerk." The aloof girl turned her face away.

Lin Xuanqi let out a disdainful and gloating chuckle.

"Don't do that. We're just idling around anyway, so why not test our wisdom and luck?" the boy said casually.

Their eyes met briefly. Shen Xi frowned slightly, remained silent for a second, and then sneered, "Sorry, when it comes to brains, all of you combined are no match for me. I don't want to bully you."

"Teacher Shen, I suggest you wait until you've had the fun before saying these things."

"It's just an obvious fact." Shen Xi flicked her hair.

So, are they coming or not?

"I said no." Shen Xi said coldly.
