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

The boy spoke tentatively, "So, this topic is over?"

"Cheng Fei, first of all, let's get this straight: your inability to control your vulgar and despicable desires when you go out and fool around, and your subsequent physical assault on other girls, is an act that is utterly shameful and intolerable," Shen Xi said softly.

“Your Highness is right, it is truly shameful.” The boy nodded quickly.

"Secondly, you deliberately concealed the truth upon your return, making your crime even more serious. Doing something like this is no different from lying to me. I'll let it go this time, but I won't forgive you if you do it again, Cheng Fei. Don't betray my trust in you. I expect you to answer my questions truthfully anytime, and that way I can tolerate your disgusting little philandering. Anyway, I'm pretty used to your bottomless, aquatic mammalian nature. I'll be grateful if you don't get stabbed to death by other girls outside." The girl's voice was calm and cold.

"I understand. Next time, even if we hold hands, I'll report it to Her Majesty the Queen. But to think that I can get used to this kind of thing is truly remarkable. As expected of the Star Spirit Queen who has the mind of billions of dimensions." The boy hugged her tightly and stroked her. "But actually, apart from Ye Shuang, I haven't really been involved with many women. It would be too exaggerated to be stabbed to death by another girl. Your Highness, don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen."

"I hope so." The girl wrapped her arms around him as if to strangle him, her voice carrying an indescribable chill, like the coldest wind sweeping across the planet during the Antarctic polar night. "Third, Cheng Feiyu keeps saying he loves me, but every time we meet, he uses his undisguised filthy gaze to endlessly harass me mentally. If he really liked me now, that would be one thing, since the despicable nature of aquatic mammals can't be changed anyway, but..."

"But?" The boy swallowed hard.

"If you're like this in front of me, and like this in front of other girls, showering everyone with sweet words and saying you like them the most, even making heartless and rebellious remarks like I'm just an insignificant hill on a plain, two-faced and treacherous, then you might as well just die now." The girl buried her face in his neck, exhaling warm breath with a faint fragrance, like an intimate lover's interaction, yet also like the prelude to a vampire's devouring.

The boy shuddered. "Shen Xi, don't worry, absolutely not. If I dare to slander you, feel free to bite me to death. Besides, there's no doubt that I like you the most. I'll only keep an eye on you anytime, anywhere, so don't worry."

"Cheng Fei, remember what you said." The girl moved and buried her face back in his chest, pressing the two of them tightly together.

The boy felt the chill dissipate and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He rubbed his thick, fragrant hair and said, "So my little darling is indeed very controlling and possessive."

"Get this straight, this is already the most lenient I can ask of you, you fickle scoundrel." The girl gritted her teeth.

"Shen Xi, besides you, I only like Nana. Ye Shuang was just a little accident." The boy's tone was relaxed.

The girl paused for a second, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger, then said, "Alright, next thing."

"I thought there would only be one topic at this meeting? Your Majesty, please speak." The young man said earnestly.

"How did you heal Ye Shuang's injuries?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy grinned, "That's a secret."

"With kissing? How did you do that?" The girl buried her face in her hands, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Shen Xi, if I could, I would like to tell you, but it's really not possible." The boy sighed.

"Cheng Fei, is there a direct connection between treating Ye Shuang and your kiss? I just need your answer: yes or no." The girl spoke very quickly.

"Uh," the boy hesitated, "No."

The girl fell silent. After a moment, she propped herself up, looking down at the boy. Her delicate and pretty face held an indescribable emotion as she spoke softly, "Cheng Fei, so the reason you've been asking me to kiss you every now and then is for the same reason?"

By the dim light from the window, the boy met her gaze, reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her side, and smiled with relief, “My little darling, your little brain is just too sharp. I think it’s best not to say a single word to you.”

"Cheng Fei." The girl leaned down and met the boy's eyes. Her deep, dark eyes blinked, and her stubborn, pink lips parted slightly, exuding an indescribable allure. "If you really need it, I'm not against making an exception and kissing you now. As long as you promise not to treat this kiss as an event with special significance, I will pretend it never happened."

"Shen Xi, are you serious?" The boy was stunned, deeply attracted by those eyes, unable to look away.

"The premise is that it is truly necessary and not just an opportunity to take advantage and satisfy desires, Cheng Fei. Don't make a decision that will disappoint me." The girl looked at him, tilted her head slightly, and her thick hair cascaded down like a waterfall, dividing the remaining glimmer of light into countless strands. The two seemed to be isolated in another dimension, and even the passage of time was different from the outside world.

The boy stared at the expressionless face. Only by observing carefully in the darkness could he sense from the fleeting glints in the girl's eyes that her heart was not as calm as it appeared.

The two were very close. The girl looked down at him quietly, without any defenses. It was as if he could pull her down into his arms and savor her delicate, translucent fragrance, as long as he wanted, without having to explain anything.

The boy swallowed hard.

"So, do you need it, Cheng Fei?" The girl stared at him intently, her voice serious.

The room fell into dead silence.

After a long while, Cheng Fei gently stroked the back of Shen Xi's head, pulled her back into his arms, and rested her head on the pillow, as intimately as the closest lovers.

The girl showed no resistance, blinked, and gazed at the boy who was so close to her.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, but it's not necessary, so please accept it." The young man said frankly.

"I understand." The girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly, she lowered her eyes, rested her forehead against the boy's cheek, and wrapped her arms around his neck again.

Feeling the girl's warmth so close to him, the boy smacked his lips and said, "I suddenly regret it a little. Why don't you delete your memory and start over, so I can lie to you this once?"

"Cheng Feiyu, don't even dream about it tonight." The girl punched him lightly with her small fist, her tone and force utterly harmless.

"Shen Xi, why are you so adorable?" the boy exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

"I also want to ask you why you're so terrible." The girl seemed displeased. "Now, let's move on to the next topic."

"Anything else? Okay, please go ahead." The boy was startled.

"About Ye Shuang," the girl said coldly.

568. Shen Xi's decision regarding Ye Shuang is...

"About Ye Shuang?" Cheng Fei asked, puzzled.

Shen Xi remained motionless and silent.

"Teacher Shen?"

"Cheng Fei, let me ask you a question." The girl took a deep breath and sighed softly.

"what?"

"If you were allowed to like Ye Shuang, what would you do?" The girl's cool voice revealed no emotion, as if she were asking a trivial question.

"Teacher Shen, what does this mean?" the boy asked hesitantly.

"Answer the question." The girl gave him a nudge.

"Does 'allowing' mean that she can be like Nana?" the boy asked cautiously.

“No, she can’t live in our house.” The girl said without hesitation.

The boy thought for a second, "Uh, so it means I should stay friends with her and not neglect her?"

"No..." The girl's voice was barely audible.

"Teacher Shen, I can't hear you."

"It's okay if we're not friends." The girl shifted slightly, leaning her cheek against the boy's chest, her face expressionless.

"Huh? If you don't mind, let me ask you this first: are you angry, or are you telling me your real plans?" The boy was very cautious.

"I'm not angry." The girl looked up at him, her voice muffled.

The boy observed the slightly furrowed brows of the girl's face, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Sweetie, so you're planning to accept Ye Shuang? Really, there's no need for that. I only need you and Nana..."

"Shut up." The girl's cold voice left no room for argument. "Please get this straight. I'm not trying to satisfy your pathetic male instincts. It's just that rationally speaking, Ye Shuang's abilities are very valuable. We should try to turn her into an ally rather than an enemy. Besides, as a friend, I don't want to see her crying like that."

"So you want me to...?" the boy asked calmly.

The girl lowered her eyes and sighed again, "Cheng Fei, I don't want another vixen."

“I think so too.” The boy nodded quickly.

“But,” the girl squinted in the darkness.

"but?"

"She's been toying with your feelings for a long time now. If you can keep her in check outside and keep her out of my sight like before, I..." The girl paused.

"you?"

"I'll turn a blind eye to your relationship," the girl said softly.

"This works?" the boy exclaimed in surprise.

"The premise is that you can be self-disciplined and your attitude towards me cannot change in any way, Cheng Fei." The girl frowned, her sharp gaze piercing him.

The boy smacked his lips. "Don't worry, little cutie, my feelings for you will never change. But is this really a good thing? I don't think cutting ties with her is a bad idea."

"Cheng Fei, don't tell me you weren't moved at all when you saw her cry." The girl gritted her teeth and punched him lightly.

"I admit I was a little reluctant to let her go, and I almost couldn't help but want to comfort her, but I managed to restrain myself, Shen Xi." The young man said sincerely.

"Why didn't you keep your distance from her back then? Now you're trying to restrain yourself. What a hypocrite," the girl sneered.

"Little cutie, I've already said it's all just fate playing tricks on us, so stop being so sarcastic," the boy lamented.

"Enough with the nonsense, so can you do what you just said?" The girl turned her face away, her eyes flickering.

“Teacher Shen, although it’s really kind of you to make concessions, you’ve forgotten one thing: even if you’re willing to turn a blind eye to her, does she want to live this kind of life? She’s not Nana.” The boy said helplessly.

The girl paused for a second, then gave a cold laugh tinged with schadenfreude. "This is the problem you need to solve. Use your sweet talk and ability to deceive her feelings, whether you coax her or brainwash her, just make her accept reality and at least become friends with her. Of course, you can also completely abandon her, it's up to you. Just don't blame me if she kills you on the day you cut ties with that Lin woman. I'll take your ashes back and plant them in the flowers."

"How long are you going to keep playing this 'planting flowers in ashes' meme? It's so twisted, Teacher Shen." The boy's eyelids twitched. "Besides, my ability is Time Zero, not sweet talk or brainwashing."

"Pretending is one thing, but who knows what other abilities Cheng Feiyu, with his many unspeakable secrets, has? Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. Cheng Fei, take care of yourself and don't disappoint me." The girl said the last word slowly and deliberately.

The boy gazed at the ceiling, feeling the soft touch in his arms, and sighed, "Shen Xi, you really are my Teacher Shen."

"Heh, it's one thing to be smug after getting a good deal, but Cheng Feiyu is probably overjoyed right now. After all, Ye Shuang is quite pretty, and he can finally make his move on her without any scruples." The girl's sharp voice seemed to see through everything.

"Shen Xi, you're so cute." The boy pulled her into his arms, as if he wanted to become one with her.

"Cheng Fei, stop acting crazy, it makes me uncomfortable!" The girl punched him and raised her voice.

"Shen Xi, I love you." The boy whispered into the girl's hair, savoring the alluring yet comforting fragrance.

"Trash! What love are you talking about? You're just taking advantage of this to satisfy your own filthy desires!" The girl trembled as if she were being chilled, feeling like she was being tortured, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

"Shen Xi, this is also part of love."

"Cheng Fei! So you're going to treat me like this even during my period?" The girl's voice trembled.

"Sorry, little cutie, I forgot." The boy quickly relaxed her.

"Shameless Cheng Feiyu, whether he's forgotten or just pretending to be crazy, he knows perfectly well!" the girl gritted her teeth.

"No matter what, please forgive me with your gentle and tolerant nature, Your Majesty." The boy pressed the back of her head and held her head against his cheek.

"So this is how you respond to my tolerance, you greedy ocean trash who never knows when to stop!" The girl punched his shoulder hard.

The two grappled for a while before calming down.

Since it was still early, the hustle and bustle of Academy City could still be heard outside the window. On the first night of the May Day holiday, the streets were more restless than usual.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The two felt each other's breath and heartbeat, immersed in a tacit and peaceful solitude.

I don't know how much time passed like that.

"Cheng Fei," the girl said softly.

"what?"

"Permission..." The girl's voice, her face buried in her hands, was barely audible compared to the faint noise outside the window.

"Teacher Shen, I can't hear you."

“You can touch my ankle, before I fall asleep.” The girl raised her voice slightly.

"Huh?" The boy was startled and didn't move.

"A little higher or lower is also acceptable, if you like, as long as it's not too disgusting." The girl remained motionless.

Why is it suddenly so soft?

"but."

"please say."

"Only one hand." The girl's tone contained an indescribable emotion.

"Why is this again?"

"Touch my head with your other hand, I want to sleep," the girl said softly.

569. Asuna Nagasaki also wants to go.

A hazy dream.

The gun was pressed against the girl's chest.

"Xiaoshuang, I trusted you so much... why did you do this?" Lin Xuanqi stared at her blankly. Her face, which was always so majestic and imposing, was now filled with indescribable sadness and pain, and her eyes, shimmering with tears, trembled.

"Miss, I...!" She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, her breathing was rapid, and a strong panic gripped her heart like a tornado.
