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

……

The next day, in the morning.

Asuna Nagasaki sat at the dining table, her shapely, long, and fair legs pressed tightly together beneath her skirt. Staring at her phone screen, she sighed softly, "Ye Shuang isn't replying to me either. She must be heartbroken again. It's all Cheng Fei's fault; he didn't treat her well at all."

"You're blaming me again, aren't you?" Cheng Fei placed the freshly cooked noodles in front of the girl and tapped her on the head. "She has her own choices. You're worrying too much."

"Her choice was to be with us, but Cheng Fei even tried to abuse me!" Nagasaki Asuna protested, covering her head.

"You said yourself that you're my cat, and I can hit you whenever I want." The boy deftly cracked an egg into the pan with one hand, then placed two slices of bacon beside it. The food sizzled in the hot oil, releasing an irresistible aroma.

"The cat shouldn't be hit on the head. If Cheng Fei wants to hit it, he should slap it or hit it..." the girl emphasized while sitting upright.

"Shut up and eat your noodles," the boy interrupted her irritably.

"Cheng Fei is being so mean! I meant I wanted to eat Cheng Fei's noodles, not the kind of noodles he makes." Nagasaki Asuna tapped her bowl with her chopsticks.

"The wind is too strong, I can't hear you." The boy turned the range hood up to the highest setting.

Nagasaki Asuna puffed out one cheek, gritted her teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then shouted towards the kitchen, "Cheng Fei is bullying the cat!!!"

The boy hummed an off-key tune while shaking the frying pan, as if he couldn't hear anything.

Asuna Nagasaki picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks and bit down hard, her fierce expression resembling that of someone biting into a boy's flesh.

Just as Cheng Fei put the freshly fried sunny-side-up egg and bacon into her bowl, barely audible footsteps sounded beside her, and a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair appeared in her pajamas, her hair sticking up in a tuft.

"Good morning, Teacher Shen," Cheng Fei said immediately.

"Good morning, Teacher Shen~" Nagasaki Asuna smiled brightly.

Shen Xi squinted at the two of them, revealing a look of disgust as if she had seen two rats that had been rolling around in the sewers last night finally come out.

594. Miriam can't go on living.

"Teacher Shen, what are you doing standing there all alone so early in the morning? Aren't you hungry? Come over here, I'll make you some noodles." Cheng Fei looked at the girl standing far away.

"Just feed your beat-up little car." Shen Xi sneered heavily.

"Teacher Shen, you're good at stealing too?" The boy was taken aback, surprised.

"What did I steal?" The girl frowned, displeased.

"Eavesdropping." The boy pulled out a chair from the dining table. "Come and wait here, little cutie. I'll make you some noodles after I tell you."

"You don't have to give it if you don't want to." The girl looked annoyed and walked to the dining table to sit down.

"As expected of my teacher Shen, even if there's no opportunity to be arrogant, I'll create one." The boy shook his head, sighed, and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

"That's so unfair. She only got to eat noodles. I'm a little angry," Nagasaki Asuna muttered in just the right volume.

"Don't be angry. Talking to her won't make her react at all, but if I talk to you, you'll really come over." The boy didn't even turn his head.

Shen Xi sat upright in the chair, initially lowering her eyes. She quickly realized something, her brows furrowing as she looked puzzled. Then, she suddenly understood, glaring at the boy with gritted teeth, and said angrily, "Just how filthy is Cheng Feiyu? Don't make such disgusting and vulgar jokes at me!"

"Blame Nana."

"Huh? What's wrong with Cheng Fei?!"

"Two low-level creatures who are just wasting oxygen by living in this world." Shen Xi took a deep breath, lowered her head, and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Cheng Fei placed two bowls of plain noodles, each with a sunny-side-up egg and bacon, on the table, giving one to her and one to himself, before pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"Teacher Shen, you seemed to be away from home all day yesterday. May I ask what you were up to?" The boy asked casually, slurping his noodles.

"I have no obligation to tell you." The girl said indifferently.

"Not at all. Although it's cute to see things run wild on their own when left unattended, Earth is so dangerous. Your Majesty, please don't be too carefree. Otherwise, as the ruler, I will find it difficult to protect your safety." The respectfully bowing young man resembled an ambitious schemer who could control the emperor and command the princes.

"You pretentious piece of trash, you drove your beat-up little car all day and you still talk about protecting my safety? I feel like throwing up just thinking about it." The girl covered her mouth with a serious expression.

"Teacher Shen, let's not keep bringing up these private topics. After all, you approved it yesterday." The boy coughed lightly.

On the other side, Nagasaki Asuna buried her head, her ears burning beneath her hair, staring silently at her tightly closed, fair legs.

"You screamed like that yesterday and now you're pretending to be innocent, you vixen." Shen Xi glanced at the former and sneered, then lowered her head to eat her noodles in small bites. "Besides, I didn't run around. I just went to find people to find out what happened back then."

"I see. Do you have any plans for today? I'll go with you." Cheng Fei said calmly.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." Shen Xi picked up a sunny-side-up egg, looked at it closely, smelled it, and then took a bite. She noticed the boy next to her staring at her pink, slightly parted lips, so she closed her mouth tightly and glared at him with disgust.

“Um, I’ll come too!” Nagasaki Asuna quickly said.

"Nobody needs you here, you vixen." Shen Xi made no attempt to hide her disgust.

"Teacher Shen, please don't be like this. Have you forgotten what we discussed before? Nana is an important member of our team." Cheng Fei said seriously.

Shen Xi's eyes flickered, but she pretended not to hear and focused on eating her noodles, tucking her hair behind her ear.

After filling their stomachs, the three drove off in their GLS to find someone who had personally experienced Lin Wanqing's unexpected death to learn more about the situation.

"Teacher Shen, who are we going to see now?" Cheng Fei asked, gripping the steering wheel with a relaxed expression.

“My uncle.” Shen Xi sat in the back row, expressionless.

"Ok."

"I don't know how to explain it, so I introduced you to him. The rest is up to your sweet talk."

"No problem. It's understandable that a shut-in internet addict like me isn't good at talking. But could you please replace your sweet talk with something like excellent communication skills?"

"Ha, Cheng Feiyu is just trying to whitewash himself again."

"In that case, please introduce your uncle to me first? That will make it easier for us to communicate later."

"He is a professor at Gakuen Polytechnic."

"Wait a minute, could this uncle be your cousin Shen Xue's..."

"Yes."

"Your uncle is a professor there, and your cousin is also a teacher there, is that right?"

"You have a problem with that?"

"No objection, Miss Shen. It's just that I plan to apply to the Academy of Science and Engineering in the future. Could you please help me get a guaranteed admission spot? Thank you."

"Don't dream. If you can't even get into Academy City, you might as well die."

"How cold-hearted. I think I'll just go and seek refuge with Professor Ruan. He told me to choose him as my advisor so I could get a direct admission to graduate school."

"Heh, go ahead if you like. It just so happens that Ruan Jingyi also has a good impression of you. Why don't you just marry into her family in the future?"

"Teacher Shen, please don't say that. I promised to marry you a long time ago. I value promises very much."

"Disgusting madness."

"Um, are you two completely ignoring me while you're flirting?" A third person in the car spoke in a calm voice.

……

The three of them spent the last two days of the May Day holiday together, slowly making progress on their respective projects.

Tuesday, May 6th.

After their holiday, the students of Yinghua Academy returned to campus and continued their seemingly unchanging daily routines of youth.

When the bell rang for the end of the last get out of class in the afternoon, Chen Hao ran over to challenge Cheng Fei to an arm-wrestling match.

"You little rascal, today you'll witness the fruits of my hard work over the entire holiday!" the boy with the pompadour shouted.

The match ended quickly.

"Cheng Fei wins, in five seconds, unchanged from last time," referee Du Xinhua announced in an extremely calm tone, staring at the screen.

"How is this possible?!" Chen Hao grabbed his hair, dumbfounded.

"Thank you for your kind offer. I'll be going now. Goodbye." The boy on the other side bowed, packed his things, and left the classroom.

Cheng Fei sent a message in the high-level discussion group.

"Teacher Shen, Lin Xuanqi asked me to go to the Lin Group headquarters, so I'll have to ask for leave from the club activities."

"Oh"

The reply from the other end was only one word.

The boy took it as a tacit agreement and walked out of the school with his hands in his pockets.

Downstairs in the teaching building, a blonde, blue-eyed British beauty covered her face and ran past him, then turned back and threw herself into his arms.

“Junior! Waaaaah…” Miriam wiped her tears on his shoulder.

"Senior, although everyone knows you're not interested in men, please don't do this." The boy expressionlessly put his hand on her shoulder amidst the astonished gazes around them.

"Junior, but, but... Miss Nagasaki and Miss Ye Shuang are together, how am I supposed to live?!" Milian looked like the sky had fallen and she was crying so hard she almost fainted.

"Is that so? My condolences." The boy could only pat her head.

After saying goodbye to Miriam, Cheng Fei spotted two familiar figures entangled together under the cherry blossom tree at the school gate and understood what had happened to Miriam.

"Shuangshuang, you're not leaving today if you don't talk to me!" Nagasaki Asuna clung tightly to Ye Shuang, her face stubborn.

"Nana, please don't do this, I'm begging you!" The girl with long, straight legs encased in white over-the-knee socks and twin ponytails struggled with her expression.

595. Nagasaki Asuna publicly confesses her feelings to Ye Shuang.

"Shuangshuang, I want to go to your house!" The sweet girl with long coffee-colored hair said firmly.

"I...I have something to do!" The pretty, well-behaved girl's eyes flickered.

"Don't try to lie to me, I have something important to tell you!" Nagasaki Asuna leaned closer to Ye Shuang, their eyes meeting.

"Nana, you're too close!" Ye Shuang tilted her head back, trying to create some distance between them.

"Then I want to go to your house!" Nagasaki Asuna hugged her slender waist tightly.

"Can you let me go first?" Ye Shuang's eyes were slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry from anger.

"You agree first!" Nagasaki Asuna's voice was soft yet forceful.

"Wasn't what you did last time enough? I'll bully you!" Ye Shuang was really about to cry.

"Shuangshuang can do whatever she wants to me, but I will never let you go!" Nagasaki Asuna stared intently at her, her fair and delicate legs intertwined with her legs encased in white over-the-knee stockings beneath her skirt.

"Nana, why are you doing this? Please, just leave me alone!" Ye Shuang's eyes welled up with tears, and she swayed as if she were about to collapse.

"But I love Shuangshuang and I don't want to see you sad!" Nagasaki Asuna shouted.

Ye Shuang opened her eyes wide, her pupils trembling.

In May, the cherry blossoms at the entrance of Yinghua School had already fallen, replaced by budding new leaves.

The two top-tier beauties from our school, who were openly entangled under the cherry blossom tree, unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention.

When Nagasaki Asuna shouted it out, the Sakura students who had been watching for a while finally couldn't help but gasp and let out a suppressed exclamation.

"What did she say? She said she likes it!"

"The girl's bold confession melted away the other girl's defenses; yes, that's exactly what I wanted to see..."

"What beautiful scenery! It's so wonderful to come to Sakura Garden..."

"What did she just say? Bullying? Oh my god, I can't even imagine..."

"A bassist and a drummer, I don't even want to think about it..."

Amidst the various discussions, a tall, upright young man walked past the two with his hands in his pockets, paused, shook his head, and sighed, "Nana, let her go."

“Eh, Cheng Fei? But…” Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, startled.

Ye Shuang caught sight of the familiar boy, hurriedly turned her face away, seized the opportunity to break free from Nagasaki Asuna's embrace, and ran away as if fleeing, moving at lightning speed.

"Shuangshuang, wait a minute—!" Nagasaki Asuna tried to chase after her, but couldn't manage it; her outstretched hand hung in mid-air. "Eh, she got away..."

The boy shook his head and walked out of the school gate at his own pace.
