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

The girl with pigtails sat in her seat, staring at his profile. Her face flushed red and then paled. After gritting her teeth and struggling for a long time, she finally picked up her pen and opened the test paper with a "what the hell" attitude. Her voice sounded like she had suffered a great injustice, "You scumbag, all you do is bully me...!"

Cheng Fei seemed not to hear her complaints.

After a long while, the girl finally placed the test paper in front of him, "I'm done..."

The boy picked up the test paper to check it, raising an eyebrow. "You can do this, can't you?"

"My grades weren't bad to begin with!" the obedient girl declared, raising her fair chin confidently.

"Although the number of mistakes is indeed incomprehensible," the boy added, staring at the test paper with a look of amazement.

"You!" Ye Shuang's pupils shrank, revealing an expression of humiliation.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I'? Okay, let me explain the wrong questions to you first." Cheng Fei moved his chair closer to her, placed the test paper in front of them, thought for a moment, and then picked up his thin silver-rimmed glasses from the pen holder next to him and put them on.

Ye Shuang's gaze unconsciously shifted to the boy's face, but when he looked at her, she hurriedly turned back to the test paper.

"Let's look at this multiple-choice question about trigonometric functions first," Cheng Fei said, casually picking up a yogurt container from the side and taking a sip.

"That's what I drank!" Ye Shuang exclaimed anxiously, staring at his actions.

"Ye Shuang, please concentrate. Look at the function graph first..." The boy tapped the test paper, forcing her to bring her attention back.

The girl could only bite her lip lightly and listen to the lecture with a very unwilling expression.

……

The tutoring session between the two lasted until the evening.

Compared to Cheng Fei, who was still in good condition, Ye Shuang looked dizzy and lightheaded. Upon learning that she could leave, she felt as if she had been granted a pardon.

"Remember to go back and carefully recall and digest what I've said. We'll continue tomorrow at noon." The boy was like a conscientious teacher.

Ye Shuang sighed and stood up to pack her study materials.

"I'll drive you home," Cheng Fei said, standing up as well.

"No!" the girl cried out, as if pricked by a needle.

"So afraid of me?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing good ever happens when you're around. I'll take a taxi home myself!" The girl looked fearful, as if she were facing some kind of monster.

"It's not impossible." Cheng Fei nodded nonchalantly, then paused, "Oh, right, I'll give you a gift."

What gift?

"Hold on."

Under Ye Shuang's suspicious gaze, the boy left the room and quickly returned, handing her a plain white bottle without a label.

"Here."

"What is this?" The girl picked up the bottle that looked like a shampoo bottle and examined it.

"This body lotion has amazing effects after use; Nana has personally tested it," Cheng Fei said seriously.

Ye Shuang frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment. "Will I become more beautiful?"

"You noticed?" The boy raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and nodded. "That makes sense, you two are together every day at school."

"I don't want it." The girl pouted and handed the item back.

"Why not?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

"We're just friends," the girl said in a muffled voice.

Cheng Fei looked her up and down. "Master Ye, how can you, as a woman, resist something like this? Although you're already very beautiful, there's no reason for you to refuse to be even more beautiful, is there?"

"Anyway, I just don't want it." The girl lowered her head, her eyes flickering.

"No, you have to."

"Why should I?!"

"As my Master Ye, you'd better accept reality." The boy's tone was not harsh, but it left no room for argument.

"Cheng Fei, you just think I'm easy to bully!" The obedient girl's eyes reddened as she was forced to take the things in her hands.

"What kind of logic is this? Why are you crying when I give you a gift?" the boy asked, bewildered.

"If I accept a gift like this, I'll be even more unable to get rid of you. You made me beautiful just so you could make me your girlfriend!" She sounded like a virtuous young girl who had been abducted, her voice filled with unspeakable bitterness and sorrow.

Cheng Fei opened his mouth, "Master Ye, that's too exaggerated. By the way, once you finish one bottle, it's permanently effective. You don't need to keep using it, so it will definitely not do you any harm."

Ye Shuang fell silent, sniffed, and asked, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask Nana."

The girl lowered her head and bit her lip, caught in a mental struggle. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Well... thank you, but don't think that will make me your girlfriend."

"They're really keeping a tight rein on this, it's just a gift for you." The boy shook his head helplessly and patted the girl with pigtails on the head. "Hurry back, or you'll miss dinner."

657. Cheng Fei wants photos.

[Yuzu (Yeshuang): Check-in duration → terminated]

After seeing Ye Shuang off, Cheng Fei continued to busy himself with his work, without contacting anyone. He had dinner at a takeout rice bowl restaurant downstairs.

While watching Japanese romance movies (normal ones) to learn Japanese and eating, the boy suddenly saw words appear before his eyes.

[Time-limited task triggered]

Exchanging photos is essential.

[Requirement: Request a photo of yourself from Youziyou, which must include close-ups of your face and legs]

Difficulty: Hard

[Reward: Portable tripod, 5,000 points]

Portable tripods: It's said that owners can take better photos more easily.

Cheng Fei remained silent for a second.

Fine, at least I'll give you 5,000 points this time.

The boy took out his phone and sent a message on WeChat.

"Master Ye, I have a once-in-a-lifetime request, please grant it."

"?"

The reply came instantly.

Send me a few photos of yourself, preferably showing your face and legs.

"You scoundrel! Why should I send it to you?"

"Because you are my dearest Master Ye, and I gave you such an expensive gift."

"So you gave me this just for this?"

"Master Ye, can't you grant my request unconditionally?"

"What do you want with my photo?"

"So I can enjoy my Master Ye's beautiful and lovely face anytime."

"No!"

"Master Ip!"

"If you like photos of girls, go find Nana and Shen Xi, why do you have to come to me?"

"Because Master Ip is special."

"What a frivolous scumbag!"

The boy simply made a phone call, but the call was immediately rejected.

"Master Ye, we're waiting for your photos."

"Don't even think about it! I won't give it to you."

The boy put down his phone and continued with his work.

It wasn't until late at night, after taking a shower and lying in bed, that I turned on my phone and saw that I had received photos on WeChat.

A close-up selfie shows a girl with beautiful features and a cool expression, as if there is someone hateful on the other side of the camera. You can see her smooth hair and long eyelashes, and her delicate and flawless pink skin.

A selfie taken in front of a mirror, wearing daytime clothes, with one hand behind her back and her phone covering her face. The photo is rather perfunctory, with neither the angle nor the technique being professional at all. However, it is precisely because of this that it has a sense of realism. Her perfectly undulating chest and her straight, slender legs encased in white over-the-knee stockings exude a youthful charm that sparks the imagination.

[Time-limited task completed]

[Reward: Portable tripod, 5,000 points]

"Thank you, Master Ye, you're so cute!"

The boy finished replying and closed his eyes.

……

The next day.

As always, the Corridor Research Department held a study session during lunch break. Except for a certain department head, all members participated, seemingly trying to distance themselves from the many incompetent and decadent clubs in Sakura.

Although several girls somehow agreed to bring a bunch of snacks to the club activity room, turning the study session into a snack tasting event, chatting non-stop while doing problems, Cheng Fei, as one of the minority, was powerless to stop them and had no choice but to go along with it and try them.

It's worth mentioning that the twin-tailed girl has returned to her state of distancing herself from Cheng Fei, and only seeks help from Nagasaki Asuna when asking questions. The boy can't help but suspect that she actually suffers from a mental illness similar to Shen Xi's, and that this illness may even be contagious. If in-depth research is published, it might shock the world.

As for the fact that the boy spent a whole afternoon observing her but didn't make any world-shaking discoveries, and instead received a hostile snort before parting ways, let's leave that aside for now.

In the afternoon, the bell rang for the end of the last get out of class.

"What's wrong with this era?!" Chen Hao's voice, filled with regret and sorrow, rang out in the classroom.

"It's not like we just found out about Yinghua's situation today, is it?" Du Xinhua's indifferent tone followed.

"But wouldn't their actions just make the situation of too many wolves and too little meat even worse?!"

"Wake up! Even if they didn't do that, this piece of meat wouldn't be for you, you wolf."

"You don't understand the situation at all. If they do this, then that kid Cheng Fei won't get any meat either. If he can't get any, he'll come and take the meat that's rightfully ours, which will leave us with nothing to eat!" The boy with the pompadour seemed to have tears of grief and indignation streaming from his eyes.

"I didn't expect someone with a brain full of muscles like you to have such a broad perspective. But sorry, it's not us. I'm not interested in the real world. If you ask me, don't be fooled by their good looks. Heaven knows how difficult it is to date them." Du Xinhua continued packing her things with a calm expression.

The boy Chen Hao used as an example walked past the two with his hands in his pockets, casting a curious glance at them. "I think I heard my name. May I ask what you two are talking about?"

"Cheng Fei, you didn't even see the new news department monthly magazine?" Chen Hao turned around and placed the school magazine, which each class was required to subscribe to five times, in front of the boy.

"This reactionary publication hasn't been banned yet. This school will be in trouble sooner or later..." The boy was stunned when he saw the contents of the monthly magazine cover.

"What's even more beautiful than cherry blossoms in full bloom: The untold secret of the most eye-catching and popular duo in the Corridor Research Club."

It's written in extra-large font.

The cover photo for this issue features two schoolgirls in school uniforms entangled under a cherry blossom tree at the school gate. Nagasaki Asuna is holding Ye Shuang's hand and saying something to the girl with twin tails. The former's gaze is firm, while the latter is on the verge of tears. Without any words, a touching story that breaks through worldly taboos is already presented to us.

The angle of the photo is also superb. The composition, which is tilted and looks up from below, places two top-notch beauties with their legs covered in white over-the-knee socks under a lush cherry blossom tree. The sunlight shines through the tree and creates dappled shadows that envelop the two of them. It's a work that looks like a wallpaper photo. You have to admit that the photographer is superb.

Cheng Fei recalled for a moment.

It turns out that the guy who was hunched over like a maggot, trying to find the right angle, was from the news department...

The boy flipped to the corresponding interview page and, as expected, saw some trivial, unsubstantiated content that only teenagers would be interested in. At the bottom, it read, "The above report is from our reporter: Su Wenwen."

It's strange that some people in this world are striving to live, while others are determined to die.

"As the deputy director of the Corridor Research Department, how would you evaluate this?" Du Xinhua rolled up her book into a microphone and handed it to Cheng Fei.

"No comment."

After saying this, the boy left the classroom as Chen Hao and Du Xinhua watched him go, looking at his phone as he walked.

The Corridor Research Department's official member group received news of the Minister.

"Given yesterday's workload, we're taking a day off today. Online access is not mandatory, and you don't need to come to the club activity room."

Cheng Fei had no idea what they were busy with online yesterday; he hadn't participated at all. However, he felt that their last sentence was somewhat suggestive, so the young man decided to go to the rooftop to check it out.
