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

"You can sleep, but I don't know how I can fall asleep."

"If you can't sleep, use Nana. Doesn't Cheng Fei like it? Nana will make you sleep very, very soundly, and you won't open your eyes no matter what."

"That's enough, you're really beyond perverted, Nana."

"That's just how Nana is, so Cheng Fei, will you agree? Nana is going to...sleep now." The girl said, adjusting her position and closing her eyes to stay still.

In the quiet room, time ticked by.

The boy looked at that peaceful, sweet face, feeling her rise and fall gently with her breath. The girl's gentle and healing temperament became even more alluring after she fell asleep, and her unguarded and innocent appearance was tempting to commit a crime.

The boy was silent for a moment, then decided to go to sleep later.

……

The next morning.

After washing up in the bathroom, Nagasaki Asuna carefully combed her smooth, long, coffee-colored hair. Suddenly, as if feeling uncomfortable, she covered her throat and cleared it. Feeling a strange discomfort, the corners of her mouth curled up into an uncontrollable smile. Her fair legs, with unspeakable dark marks under her skirt, were tightly pressed together, and she hummed an unknown tune.

Meanwhile, the silver Panamera left Guang'an Street and arrived at a familiar neighborhood on the other side.

A well-behaved girl, exuding the air of a refined lady, stood in front of the mirror and carefully tied her hair into two smooth, low ponytails.

Then, with a nervous air, she adjusted the height of the two sides of her white over-the-knee socks to be completely level, making sure everything was as meticulous as usual. The girl hummed an unknown tune, picked up her bag, and went out.

As the elevator doors were about to open, she seemed to suddenly remember something, the faint smile on her face vanished, and she walked out with a cold expression.

Cheng Fei leaned against the sports car with his hands in his pockets, smiled and nodded at her, "Good morning, Master Ye."

Ye Shuang lowered her head and walked silently to the other person. When the boy opened the car door for her, she jumped in as fast as lightning and hugged her bag to her chest.

"Here you are, Master Ye." Cheng Fei handed the pineapple bun he had bought on the way to the girl.

"I don't want to." Ye Shuang glanced at it and turned her face away.

"Why? You ate it obediently the past few days." the boy asked, puzzled.

"Because you bullied me yesterday..." the girl said in a muffled voice.

"Where did you bully me?" The boy put his things in the storage compartment between the two of them and started the engine.

"You know it in your heart!" The obedient girl's eyes darted around, then she gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"How come I already know? Does hugging count as bullying?" The boy looked puzzled, as if he were serious.

"How dare you say that?" The girl felt even more aggrieved and stomped her foot in anger. "Shameless scumbag!"

"Master Ye, it's going to be hard for us to develop a romantic relationship like this," the young man said, smacking his lips.

"Don't talk nonsense! Who wants to have a romantic relationship with you?" The girl's eyes reddened with anxiety.

"Of course it's you, Master Ye. We agreed before, have you lost your memory?"

"I don't understand! All I know is that you said it was all aboveboard... Anyway, I'd rather die than agree to it!" The girl looked on with a reminiscing expression, her voice trailing off halfway through her sentence, and she glared at him through gritted teeth.

“Master Ye, where did you learn this nonviolent non-cooperation technique? It won’t work.”

"Anyway, I'm not going to agree to your request... and you're not allowed to hug me like you did yesterday, or I really won't talk to you anymore!" Ye Shuang raised her voice.

"Let's not talk about that for now. By the way, Master Ye, you're going to the comic convention for the Dragon Boat Festival, right?" Cheng Fei glanced at her.

"Who told you that?" The girl turned her face as if pricked by a needle.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

"Could it be Nana who said it?" the girl thought for a moment, then asked suspiciously.

"In that case, let's tentatively schedule our second date for the Dragon Boat Festival," the boy said casually, yet with an air of unquestionable authority.

"Who wants to go on a date with you? Don't even think about it!" the girl said without hesitation.

"Master Ye, please agree obediently, and I'll go to the comic convention with you."

"I don't want you to come with me!"

"With your attitude, it's going to be hard for us to be together."

"I never wanted to be with you in the first place!"

"No, it's settled then."

"Cheng Fei, you're bullying me again!" the girl exclaimed.

"Not at all, this is a necessary step in getting to know each other, please be good."

"Anyway, you just think I'm easy to bully..." The girl lowered her head and sniffed.

"Yes, my little crybaby Master Ye is the easiest to bully." The boy nodded seriously.

"Cheng Fei!" The girl was on the verge of tears.

"Hey, don't cry, I was wrong, so hurry up and eat the pineapple bun, okay?"

"I don't want to eat!" the girl grumbled, glaring at him. Then, as if remembering something, she turned her face away, paused, and whispered, "Unless you promise me one thing, I'll go to the comic convention with you on Dragon Boat Festival..."

"what?"

"You're not allowed to hug me like you did yesterday anymore." Ye Shuang raised her chin and stared at him.

"Master Ye, is it really that big of a deal to just hug someone?" the boy asked curiously.

"Anyway, if you don't agree, I won't go to the comic convention with you, and I won't go by myself either!" The girl gritted her teeth, looking like a hero making a difficult decision.

Cheng Fei opened his mouth, but finally nodded dejectedly, "I give up, okay, I agree."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shuang bit her lip and silently took out the pineapple bun from the storage compartment. She tore open the packaging, put it to her mouth, and took small bites while gazing out the window in a daze.

When the traffic light turned green, Cheng Fei turned his head to observe the beautiful profile with its distinctive features, and casually asked, "By the way, Master Ye, are you using the body lotion I gave you?"

Ye Shuang's gaze flickered, but she didn't look at him. "I'm using it."

"That's good."

The girl with pigtails lowered her head and remained silent, staring at her clasped hands.

Their mornings, as always, were pretty much like this.

……

The bell rang for the end of the last class at noon.

Hungry students from Sakura University rushed to the cafeteria, filled their stomachs, and then dispersed.

"Something came up, so I won't be attending the study session at noon."

The message popped up among the official members of the Corridor Research Department.

"Ruan Jingyi, Cheng Fei isn't going at noon. Should we still go?" Zhou Han asked, looking at her phone from her seat.

"It doesn't seem right not to go," the quiet girl thought for a moment.

"That's true, although I'm a little sleepy." The petite girl covered her mouth and yawned.

The two, having agreed beforehand, took their textbooks and walked through the long corridor covered in wisteria vines to the club activity building, then climbed to the sixth-floor rooftop.

Pushing open the only door, what appeared before the two was a cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sitting alone in a steel tube chair, focused on the book in her hands.

“Shen, Shen Xi?” Zhou Han was stunned.

Aside from yesterday at noon, this was the first time this minister had attended a study session.

"You're here? Let's begin." Shen Xi raised her head expressionlessly to observe the two of them, flicked her hair, closed her book, and moved the study materials piled up beside her to her front.

"Start...start what?" Zhou Han hesitated, a strange sense of foreboding creeping over her.

"Start tutoring. I'll be in charge of both of you for the next period of time," the aloof girl said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Why?" In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Han's little head, such as Shen Xi being jealous of them spending all day with Cheng Fei and deciding to personally intervene to stop them.

"You don't need to know the reason for now. I'll tell you when it's necessary. Now come over and let's start the tutoring." The aloof girl seemed a little impatient, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

“Okay.” Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi exchanged a glance and sat down in front of her as instructed.

He looks so jealous, doesn't he?!

"Sit next to me," Shen Xi said, staring at the two of them in an unquestionable tone.

"Oh." Zhou Han shrank back and quickly moved to her side with Ruan Jingyi.

"Let me check the test paper you wrote yesterday first." Shen Xi stretched out her hand and said coldly.

The two quickly handed in the homework that someone had assigned them at noon yesterday.

The aloof girl took the exam paper and began to scan it intently, her brows furrowing more and more as she read.

Zhou Han carefully observed her expression from the side.

Shen Xi turned around abruptly and stared at her, saying bluntly, "While I was checking the test papers, I also made the most of my time to study. If you guys don't work harder, I can't think of any other way to improve."

685. Cheng Fei's custom-made jewelry

The aloof young woman's face held three parts disdain, three parts sorrow, three parts helplessness, and one part anger at her lack of ambition.

Zhou Han, like a pigeon hit by a bean, opened her eyes wide and shivered. She exchanged a glance with Ruan Jingyi and quickly took out her workbook.

The club activity room was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Time ticked by, and after finishing a few multiple-choice questions, Zhou Han cautiously looked up to observe the aloof girl beside her, who was staring intently at the exam paper with a furrowed brow. She spoke tentatively, "Shen Xi."

"What?" The aloof girl didn't even look up.

"Um, you... are you a little unhappy?" Zhou Han blinked her round eyes and stared at her with concern.

Just because Shen Xi didn't have any objections to the two of them spending so much time with Cheng Fei before doesn't mean she won't in the future. She thinks it's best to be cautious.

"No," Shen Xi said coldly.

"Are you actually a little... bothered by our usual behavior?" Zhou Han decided to be direct, after all, although the aloof girl in front of him seemed unapproachable, she was much easier to get along with than Lin Xuanqi.

The other person was silent for a second, put down the test paper, glanced at her, then picked it up again and said sternly, "Instead of caring about my opinion, I suggest you ask yourself if you feel guilty doing this every day."

She definitely looks jealous!

Zhou Han's expression hardened, and she took a deep breath, clapping her hands together. "Um, well, I'll be frank, Shen Xi, I'm sorry! Maybe it's because we're often with Cheng Fei that you're overthinking things, but we really just consider Cheng Fei a very good friend, so please don't be angry."

The air fell into a brief, deathly stillness.

Shen Xi shifted her gaze from the exam paper to the two of them, her brows furrowing in confusion. "Why are you suddenly talking about something out of the blue?"

Under the gaze of the aloof girl, Zhou Han kept her head down and eyes closed, while Ruan Jingyi turned her gaze away expressionlessly.

Zhou Han opened her eyes and met her gaze, then hesitated, "Didn't you come here today because you were angry about Cheng Fei tutoring us?"

The aloof girl stared at Zhou Han for a second, then tossed her hair and turned away. "You've completely misunderstood. First of all, I'm never jealous. Secondly, I'd never be jealous of that jerk. I wouldn't object if he wanted to die. Thirdly, if your judgment that you're angry with me comes from what you just said, I'm sorry, I was referring to your attitude towards studying."

"Huh?" Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi exchanged a glance and froze.

At that moment, the door to the room was pushed open.

Asuna Nagasaki and Ye Shuang walked in hand in hand, chatting and laughing. When they saw the state of the three people inside, they seemed to understand and shut their mouths.

"What are you three talking about? Something feels off." Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head in confusion.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Han, having learned the truth, breathed a sigh of relief, patting her flat chest. "So it was for the research project. I was so worried about you."

"Don't worry, Shen Xi is very generous as the Celestial Queen, she won't mind Cheng Fei tutoring you." Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hand, smiling with a hint of teasing.

Ye Shuang silently lowered her head to read, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

The aloof girl next to him, who was checking the exam paper with her eyes lowered, narrowed her eyes, as if there was some question on it that displeased her.

……

Meanwhile, in a corner of the electronics district not far from Yinghua.

The boy, with his hands in his pockets, walked into the old stairwell with the words "Custom Jewelry" printed on the wall and headed to the shops on the second floor.

The words appeared before his eyes.

[Light Magic Crystal: A collection of interstellar explorers from the Corridor Era, possessing magical properties, perhaps worthy of in-depth analysis]

The boy spent 100 points to redeem a white crystal the size of a ping-pong ball, which appeared in his hand.
