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

"No need, we'll be leaving soon." Shen Xi said, taking the boy's hand and walking upstairs.

560. Shen Xi bites Cheng Fei again.

Shen Xi pulled Cheng Fei upstairs, let go of the boy's hand, opened a door and went inside, saying without turning her head, "This is my bedroom."

Cheng Fei followed him inside and looked around the small room. The bed, wardrobe, desk, and bookshelf had a simple feel just like the living room. If you didn't know, you wouldn't imagine that a young girl once lived here.

Shen Xi closed the door, drew back the curtains to let in the bright sunlight, and turned around expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shen, so what did you mean just now?" The boy stepped forward, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at her delicate but emotionless face.

"What do you mean?" The girl looked up and met his gaze, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Regarding Miss Shen's initiative in admitting that I'm her boyfriend," the young man said with no small amount of pride.

"Forget about the clumsy rhetoric. There's no point in admitting or denying something that doesn't exist. It's just a convenient way to prepare for your future actions. Anyway, shameless aquatic mammals have used this name to swindle people before." The girl lowered her eyes and spoke calmly.

"Shen Xi, you're so cute today." The boy leaned forward, getting so close that he could clearly feel each other's breath and smell her familiar, faint fragrance.

"Cheng Fei, wake up." The girl met his gaze, her eyes slightly narrowed and she remained motionless.

"Okay." The boy nodded and stepped aside.

"Also, we'll have a regular meeting tonight," the girl said abruptly, turning her face away from him.

The boy was stunned for a moment, then realized something. He first opened his arms to her, and when he saw that she only glanced at him coldly and showed no sign of resistance, he pulled the slender body in front of him into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Shen Xi buried her face in the boy's arms, took a deep breath, and climbed up his back with her small hands. After a second, she pushed him back forcefully.

The girl's strength was pitifully small; she only managed to push him onto the bed thanks to the boy's cooperation.

Under Cheng Fei's astonished gaze, Shen Xi looked down at him, her eyes unblinking. Then she bent down and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his hands and relaxing her body so that they were completely pressed together, and she stopped moving.

In the silent room, the boy stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, feeling the girl, as fragile as a broken piece of glass, nestled in his arms. In a daze, he felt as if he were having a daydream as fragile as a broken piece of glass.

After a long while, the boy hugged her and sighed softly, "Shen Xi, I wish you were on your period every day."

The girl suddenly sat up straight, her sharp gaze piercing him. "Cheng Fei, call that guy surnamed Lin."

"Do you want me to confront her now?" The boy thought quickly.

"Use your talent for lying to make up an excuse not to see her throughout the May Day holiday," the girl said in a commanding tone.

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback. "That's easy."

Under Shen Xi's icy gaze, Cheng Fei took out his phone and dialed Lin Xuanqi's number.

I got knocked out the first time, so I tried again the second time.

"Hey! What are you doing?" came an impatient voice from the other end.

"Xuanqi, I miss you. What are your plans for May Day?" the boy asked earnestly.

"Don't bother me! My schedule is just overtime. Go play by yourself and don't bother me!"

The phone call ended as soon as he finished speaking.

Cheng Fei put down his phone, shook his head, and sighed.

Shen Xi immediately bent down, her long, dark hair spreading out like a blanket to cover him.

"Teacher Shen?... Ouch!" The boy felt a gentle, warm, and moist sensation in his trapezius muscle, followed by a stinging pain.

The old saying goes that even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and he felt as if he had been bitten by a small animal like a snow hare.

The girl relented, then punched him again, gritting her teeth in his ear, "Trash, please understand how painful a woman's period is. How can you say such depraved and inhuman things just for your own filthy desires?"

"I was wrong. I didn't understand Your Highness." The boy hugged the girl in his arms tighter, grinning.

Shen Xi buried her face and took a deep breath, loosened her fists, and gradually relaxed her body, returning to her previous state.

The two remained like this for a while, until the girl coldly took the initiative to leave.

Cheng Fei stood up and examined his shoulder, noticing a row of neat, small teeth marks. "Teacher Shen, this time you went too far."

"You deserve it. Anyway, you won't be seeing that Lin guy for the next few days." The owner of the teeth marks sneered, with a hint of schadenfreude.

The boy had nothing to say, so he simply wandered around the bedroom, looking around.

In a box piled up in the corner, Cheng Fei found a stack of certificates and awards. He picked one up at random and read, "National Middle School Mathematics Olympiad Gold Medal... Damn, Teacher Shen, you've always been a weirdo since you were a kid."

The girl didn't even glance at it, as if she thought it was insignificant.

Cheng Fei looked around the bookshelf and saw that there were classics as well as various reference books. He even found an old Xinhua Dictionary in the corner and exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Shen, did you also need to read dictionaries when you were a child?"

"How can you learn to read without looking at a dictionary?" Shen Xi asked, puzzled.

"I thought the Protoss Queen could instantly absorb the basic knowledge of lower-level civilizations." The boy put the things back in their place.

"Endless nonsense." The girl pinched the bridge of her nose.

"So these are your parents, right?" Cheng Fei found another photo frame tucked between the books.

The background of the photo is probably in a park or something. Behind the aloof little girl who looks down on the whole world at such a young age, there is a serious man with a black jacket, glasses, and a short goatee, with his hands in his pockets, on one side, and a cheerful woman in a white cotton dress with a smile on her face, leaning over and putting her hand on the little girl's shoulder.

Cheng Fei realized that Shen Xi's good looks were mainly inherited from her mother, and her father was also very authoritative.

"He's quite cheerful, doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide." The boy smacked his lips.

Shen Xi lowered her eyes.

"I'm sorry," Cheng Fei said quickly.

"It's okay." The girl turned and opened the door.

The boy put the photo frame back and quickly followed.

Shen Xi led Cheng Fei into another room, which was obviously a study or workroom. The desk was piled with messy documents, and there were oddly shaped and differently colored stones in glass bottles on the cabinet, which looked like some kind of mineral specimens.

“My mother committed suicide here.” The girl looked around and her gaze fell on the chair next to the desk. She said softly.

"These are hers too?" Cheng Fei picked up a stack of things from the table and saw that they were written on a geological exploration report. The stiffened paper looked old and worn. The boy found a timestamp and found that it was indeed from many years ago.

“After she left, this place remained the same. Aunt Tao cleans it regularly.” Shen Xi opened a drawer and took out an old-fashioned smartphone. “This is hers. The videos are still inside.”

The girl plugged her phone into the charger and placed it on the table.

Cheng Fei realized what the so-called video recording was.

561. Shen Xi wants to eat ice cream.

"The lock screen password is 0613." Shen Xi said this and suddenly turned and left the room.

Cheng Fei watched the door close and roughly understood what she meant. He sat down, picked up his phone, entered the password, and opened the photo album.

The boy thought for a moment and clicked on the second-to-last video.

A strange woman's cheerful singing began to play.

Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~…

The video was filmed in a hospital ward. The expressionless little girl sat on the edge of the bed, watching the nurse bring her a cake with six candles on it.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoxi!" The woman off-camera had a gentle and cheerful voice, and then she started clapping.

The nurses next to them clapped along, and the little girl sitting on the edge of the bed blinked at the cake, looking like an exquisitely beautiful doll.

Cheng Fei exited and clicked on the third to last video.

This time, the little girl wasn't there; the camera focused on a tall man making a phone call on the balcony, while the person filming appeared to be curled up on the sofa.

After the man finished his call, a woman's voice came through the camera, "Shen Zheng, what are you doing?"

"Something's come up, I need to go back." The serious-looking man with glasses and a short goatee glanced at the camera and hurriedly picked up his black jacket from the chair.

"Working overtime again?" The woman's helpless voice had barely faded when the door slammed shut.

Cheng Fei looked further ahead and found that they were all videos recording trivial aspects of his life. He browsed through them casually, then went back and clicked on the last video.

The woman in the video places her phone on the table, pointing it at herself. Her expression is no longer cheerful; instead, it's tinged with sadness. She sniffs and speaks to the camera, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, Mommy can't be with you anymore..."

Cheng Fei turned his head to observe and realized that the woman had been sitting in the same spot as him, even using the exact same chair.

The woman said a few words, opened the small brown glass bottle in front of the camera, put the contents into her mouth, and then lay down on the table, where she did not move again.

The video was almost completely still for the second half, until the phone probably ran out of battery and the video stopped abruptly.

Cheng Fei watched the video repeatedly, frowning in thought.

The woman gave no explanation for her suicide attempt...

The only purpose of leaving behind the video seems to be to tell everyone that she committed suicide.

The boy unplugged his phone and charger, got up and opened the door, only to find a slender figure curled up in a ball, squatting on the floor against the wall.

Hearing the door open, Shen Xi looked up at him expressionlessly.

"Can I take this back and study it?" Cheng Fei waved his phone.

The girl nodded without saying a word.

"If there's nothing else, are you leaving?" the boy said, shrugging.

The girl paused for a second, then stretched out her small hand with the back of her hand facing up, her deep, dark eyes fixed on him.

"It really is my princess." The young man took the small hand with a doting expression and pulled her up from the ground.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Xi held onto the boy's hand and didn't let go. It was as if she was being pulled by the boy, and it was as if she was pulling the boy. The two went downstairs side by side.

A middle-aged woman is busy in the kitchen.

Shen Xi stopped at the door and said softly, "Aunt Tao, we're leaving."

"Oh dear, I'll have the food ready in a minute?" Aunt Tao peeked out while wiping her hands with her apron.

"No need." The girl shook her head, stepped forward to the entrance, and bent down to put on her shoes.

So Cheng Fei smiled and waved from behind, "Aunt Tao, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye then. Take care and be safe." The middle-aged woman could only watch the boy and girl walk out the door.

……

Once inside the elevator, Cheng Fei pulled Shen Xi into his arms.

The girl did not resist and took the initiative to hug him.

"Don't worry, little cutie, I'll keep investigating for you." The young man gently stroked her head.

"How are you going to investigate?" Shen Xi asked in a muffled voice, her face buried in her hands.

"At least let Xiao Yi check her phone first."

"Okay." The voice was listless.

"Cheer up, little cutie. She definitely wouldn't want to see you looking so down." Cheng Fei put his hands on the girl's shoulders, observing her delicate face with her eyes lowered.

"I don't know how to be happy." Shen Xi turned her face away.

"Why don't you kiss me right now? It'll definitely improve your mood." The boy rubbed his chin, looking very serious.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, gave him a light kick, and glared at him, "Trash, still making pointless jokes at a time like this."

"Let me touch your knee and up, that's fine too." The boy's gaze shifted downwards.

"That's enough, it's disgusting." The girl frowned in disgust.

"But I really want to touch you, Shen Xi."

"Please don't call me by my name when you're saying things like that." The girl kicked him again.

"why?"

"It will make me deeply aware of your disgusting inner world."

"Don't you feel my love for you from head to toe, without any discrimination?"
