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

"Thank you for your kind offer. I'll be going now." The boy opposite him picked up his bag nonchalantly and left the classroom.

Although his power level hasn't reached 9 points yet, it's been over 8 points for a long time. In terms of fantasy novels, it's roughly equivalent to the half-step into the extraordinary realm, which is completely beyond the reach of normal humans.

As you walk from the teaching building to the club activity building, you'll see that the wisteria vines hanging along the long corridor have bloomed at some point, their pale purple flower spikes cascading down and enveloping the entire space, emitting a rich and intoxicating fragrance.

Cheng Fei, with his hands in his pockets, stopped in the middle of the corridor to admire the view for a moment. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the wisteria vines, turning into tiny specks of light that fell on the boy's pale forehead and neck.

During this time, she was secretly photographed by a passing girl.

"Wow, the flowers are so beautiful, and he's so handsome..."

"Did you get a picture? Send it to me quickly!"

"No, I want to use it as wallpaper, hehe..."

"How can you be so selfish? Cheng Fei belongs to everyone!"

The boy shook his head and turned to leave.

If there's any problem he feels completely powerless to solve now, it seems to be that he's too handsome.

Climb up to the rooftop of the club activity building, push open the only door, and you'll find two people sitting on steel pipe chairs inside.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Shen, Nana." Cheng Fei sat down opposite Nagasaki Asuna and to the side of Shen Xi, his gaze subtly sweeping over the two girls' fair and slender legs in white socks and school uniform shoes under the table.

"Good afternoon~" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands, revealing a sweet smile.

The air went silent for a second.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Shen," the boy said, emphasizing each word.

"Good afternoon." Shen Xi stared at the book in her hand, expressionless, without looking up.

"That's really perfunctory." Cheng Fei took out his book and unfolded his domain.

After a while.

"You vixen, come on over here, but please stop grinning like an idiot for no reason. I have a phobia of stupidity." Shen Xi raised her eyes, her expression full of disgust.

"Nana, I also want to ask you what you're so happy about?" Cheng Fei looked up.

Nagasaki Asuna, who had been smiling broadly since the boy entered, said with a bright smile, "I'm so happy that I can sit here with you two again after such a long time. I want this kind of daily life to continue forever."

"I've been quite busy this month, and haven't spent much time at school." Cheng Fei thought for a moment and nodded.

“Only a vixen would feel this happy.” Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Ms. Shen, although I know you prefer us to be alone, how about you get used to being with Nana for a while?"

"Trash, get this straight: my tolerance of this vixen doesn't mean I have to accept her hanging around in front of me every day. If you want to do dirty things, do them like rats in a sewer." Shen Xi kicked him under the table.

So you don't deny that you enjoy spending time alone with someone?

"There's no need for the obvious nonsense. Now, let alone the two of us alone, I'll be grateful if we don't end up with four someday," Shen Xi said with a heavy sneer.

"Although it's kind of cute that the three of us can accept it, don't worry, if the fourth person is Ye Shuang, I will definitely keep my distance from her from now on. You two can rest assured, I won't do it, you can both take a hatchet and stab me to death." The boy said casually while writing in his notebook.

"I don't care, as long as Cheng Fei will dote on me, that's enough?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and blinked.

"The vixen and Cheng Feiyu are birds of a feather, both fond of saying nice things. I wonder who was the one who cried out of fear the other day just because we hugged them a little tighter?" Shen Xi sneered as she looked at the book.

“Shen Xi, that’s…” Nagasaki Asuna lowered her head, her expression becoming unnatural.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Shen, I have a small suggestion." Cheng Fei coughed lightly, "Could you please stop calling Nana a vixen? Of course, if you feel that you have to scold her every day to feel better, that's fine too, but if possible, I would like to treat her better."

Shen Xi raised her head, her eyes narrowed, and her tone turned cold, "Cheng Feiyu is really thinking about her. If she won't be allowed to scold her now, what will happen in the future?"

"Teacher Shen, please don't overthink it. I just hope you two can get along normally." The boy lowered his head.

"Well, it's actually okay." Nagasaki Asuna pursed her lips, looked at the two of them, and whispered, "After getting used to being scolded, I think vixens are kind of cute. You two can scold me whenever you like, as long as you don't really hate me?"

Shen Xi slapped her forehead and took a deep breath. "Nagasaki Asuna, you really are a psychopath just like Cheng Feiyu. Is being scolded a kind of reward for you?"

"First of all, Ms. Shen, I have never felt that being scolded is a reward. Secondly, Nana, your brain is really beyond saving," Cheng Fei lamented.

550. Ye Shuang is leaving the Corridor Research Department.

"Some people know their own quirks and preferences; there's no need to deceive themselves here," Shen Xi scoffed.

"Actually, I also think that Cheng Fei doesn't like being scolded? Or maybe Cheng Fei just likes being scolded by you, and I like being scolded by Cheng Fei, hehehe~" Nagasaki Asuna laughed, as if she had discovered something interesting.

"Nana, please don't spread rumors, thank you. I only spoke to her out of respect." Cheng Fei said seriously.

"Hey, could you at least show some respect to Nana-san? You two-faced trash?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, blinked her clear, innocent eyes, and tentatively kicked him lightly under the table.

"Nana, my respect for you doesn't mean you have to be as sharp-tongued as her, thank you." The boy remained unmoved.

"Hey, don't you feel anything? Maybe I didn't scold you enough. Try it next time you ride on top..." Nagasaki Asuna observed him, muttering to herself with a serious expression.

"Do whatever makes you happy at that time." The boy nodded, glancing sideways at the side. "But it's better not to talk about these things in front of Shen Xi."

"I almost forgot, I'm sorry." Nagasaki Asuna couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Vixen, have I been too tolerant and given you more courage?" Shen Xi took a deep breath, his eyes losing focus and becoming empty, releasing a chilling aura towards her.

"Shen Xi, I'm sorry, I was being disrespectful!" Nagasaki Asuna quickly put her hands together and bowed her head.

"Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this, you shameless vixen." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

“That’s right, Nana, don’t think you can get forgiveness just because you’re imitating me. This is my special treatment.” Cheng Fei observed seriously.

"Don't even think about it. Nobody here will give you any special treatment. You're just a bunch of sweet-talking trash." Shen Xi frowned slightly and kicked him under the table.

"As expected of Her Majesty the Empress who rules over billions of dimensions, she can scold both sides with ease." The boy bowed his head devoutly.

"As expected of Her Majesty the Empress." Nagasaki Asuna quickly echoed in the same tone and expression.

Shen Xi stared at the air between the two of them, her brows furrowed, and fell silent. Finally, she lowered her head, pinched the bridge of her nose, and let out a heavy sigh.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Fei casually looked up and said, "By the way, Director Nagasaki."

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

"How's the recruitment process at the company you were put in charge of going?" the boy asked, looking at her.

"Oh~ Well, we have received some qualified resumes. When does Cheng Fei plan to have an interview?" Nagasaki Asuna poked her slightly chubby cheeks with her pen.

"Let's arrange it as soon as possible. Start before May Day, in the garage, and after school." The boy pondered for a moment.

"Received~" Nagasaki Asuna responded sweetly, like a dutiful little secretary.

"The endless corporate games have started again," Shen Xi scoffed.

"Teacher Shen, what is a company game? Our Real Technology now has 200 million in liquid funds, it's time to show our skills." The young man said with no small amount of pride, "Let's go together then, to interview our new employees."

"I have no interest in wasting my life with you guys." The girl stared at her book.

"Please just say yes in times like this, my little cutie."

"So you're threatening me?" Shen Xi looked up and narrowed her eyes.

"While it's cute that you're always so sensitive to these kinds of questions, well, you wouldn't agree unless I push you, you shut-in internet addict, right?" The boy shrugged.

"Please get this straight: I'm only reluctantly fulfilling Cheng Feiyu's childish and ridiculous request out of excessive sympathy for his low intelligence. That doesn't give you any right to do so, and don't label me as absurd." Shen Xi raised her voice.

"Yes, yes, then Your Highness, please do us the honor of accompanying us to handle some personnel matters." The boy bowed his head.

"Trash." The girl gritted her teeth and kicked him.

"Speaking of which, Shen Xi doesn't object to being called 'cutie' anymore? She used to be very resistant to it." Nagasaki Asuna observed the two, resting her chin on her hand.

"Nana, shh!" Cheng Fei hurriedly made a shushing gesture, like an adventurer sneaking into a treasure cave afraid of disturbing the evil dragon.

Nagasaki Asuna covered her mouth in a second.

Shen Xi stared at the book, took a deep breath, and remained silent.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

This situation didn't last long. There was a polite knock on the door, and then the door was opened.

"Master Ye?" Cheng Fei was stunned.

"Shuangshuang?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

The familiar girl with pigtails closed the door alone and walked up to the three of them. Her soft voice contained determination, "Shen Xi, I want to leave the Corridor Research Department."

The air in the room seemed to freeze silently.

"Why?" Shen Xi raised her head, her face expressionless.

"After all, I joined the club for the band's sake. Now that the band has disbanded, I'm not interested in the corridor anymore, so it seems unnecessary for me to stay here." Ye Shuang smiled nonchalantly.

“Shuangshuang, but isn’t it fun for everyone to do club activities together every afternoon? Anyway, the Corridor Research Club is very relaxed, so you can play in the Corridor even if you don’t want to…” Nagasaki Asuna said quickly.

“That’s true, it really makes no sense for you to stay in the club.” Shen Xi nodded, interrupting the former, as if she were dealing with a trivial matter.

“Eh, Shen Xi?” Nagasaki Asuna was stunned.

"Well, then let's remove my name." Ye Shuang said casually.

"Cheng Fei! Um, aren't you going to say something?" Nagasaki Asuna turned her frantic, pleading gaze to the other side.

"What? Master Ye is leaving the department?" The boy on the other side seemed to wake up from a dream, raised his head from what he was holding, and shrugged. "Okay, it's really unnecessary for her to stay here. Anyway, we can contact each other privately if we need anything. Nana, you don't need to make such a big deal out of this. Calm down."

“Cheng Fei…?” Nagasaki Asuna frowned, looking at the boy’s indifferent expression, which was exactly the same as Shen Xi’s.

"Okay, then it's settled." Ye Shuang's gaze shifted from Shen Xi to Nagasaki Asuna, completely ignoring the other person. The twin-tailed girl revealed a warm smile, "Nana, it's okay, we're still friends even if we're not in the same club."

“But…” Nagasaki Asuna pressed her hands to her chest and opened her mouth.

"By the way, Cheng Fei, Miss needs to see you. Let's go." Ye Shuang said and turned to leave.

"Ah? Okay." The boy immediately packed his things, got up, and followed her.

Soon, the two left one after the other, and as the door to the club activity room closed, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Nagasaki Asuna pursed her lips, turned her head and complained, "Shen Xi, why are you and Cheng Fei like this? You're so heartless."

"You vixen, don't you understand? It's better for everyone if she leaves the department voluntarily. Or do you want her to get more and more entangled with that scoundrel? I advise you not to be too sympathetic. If it turns into four people, you'll have nowhere to cry." The aloof girl sneered.

551. Ye Shuang and Cheng Fei are even.

The club activity has ended.

"Hey, did your class go to Sanya? Was it fun?"

"It's so much fun! Let me tell you..."

The students of Sakura were still enjoying the afterglow of their school trip, and laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air as they shared their experiences.

The two stood at the bus stop near the school gate, their somber atmosphere clashing with their surroundings.

Shen Xi stared expressionlessly at the road where cars were coming and going.

Nagasaki Asuna stood beside her, her head bowed, her slender hand on her chest, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression carrying an indescribable melancholy.

“Shen Xi, classmate…”

"If you still want to talk about Ye Shuang, please shut up," the aloof girl interrupted her.

“But I don’t think it’s right for you to just abandon Ye Shuang like this.” Nagasaki Asuna bit her lip and shook her head.

"Then what do you think is the right thing to do? Why don't you tell her that you're actually that scumbag's kept man's mistress, doing all sorts of shameful and despicable things every few days, and then tell her to be a shameless vixen like you? Do you think she'll slap you on the spot?" Shen Xi said coldly, her voice sharp.

"Maybe she'd be willing?" Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment, tilting her head.

"You vixen, are you crazy? First of all, understand that not everyone in this world is as love-struck and mentally unstable as you. The way you are right now is already bizarre enough to make people think you're crazy." Shen Xi glared at her.

"Is it strange? But aren't lovers or mistresses quite common in this world? Otherwise, these terms wouldn't exist." Nagasaki Asuna blinked and said softly.

Shen Xi took a deep breath and slapped her forehead. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's wrong of me to seriously discuss this kind of issue with someone like you who grew up in a country and family with distorted values ​​and no parental guidance."

Nagasaki Asuna looked at her cold profile. "You weren't really disciplined by your parents either, were you?"

Shen Xi paused for a second, then said, "Yes, that's why I tolerated you. Enough, shut up."
