Cheng Fei thought for a moment, remaining in the embrace, and took out his phone to check. "Even if you have to repeat a grade, I still suggest you go back and take the exam."

"Why?" Miriam looked up, her eyes brimming with tears.

"We've come all this way, so let's at least gain some experience in the exam hall?" the boy said earnestly.

"But I want to play with everyone, sob sob sob...!" Miriam looked at the villa, the sadness in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a longing.

Cheng Fei paused for a second, realizing that he had made a huge mistake by seriously considering her feelings.

At that moment, a chilling cold suddenly swept over the boy from behind, as if an iceberg was approaching.

He swallowed hard, remaining calm, and said, "Senior, I know you don't mind, but could you please let go first?"

"Okay." Miriam sniffed and released the boy, then ran after him. "Miss Nagasaki, I'm skipping the exam, waaaaah...!"

Incurable British lesbians.

Cheng Fei shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and turned around nonchalantly, seeing Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna.

He approached the girl with narrowed eyes and a cold expression, opened his arms and smiled, "Teacher Shen, have you finished your noodles? They'll get soggy if you don't eat them quickly. By the way, you know about Miriam's matter. We're just friends, so please don't be angry."

Shen Xi gave a heavy, cold laugh, "Friend... Cheng Feiyu is beyond redemption!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and kicked him viciously before turning and leaving.

"Teacher Shen, please don't do this." The boy quickly followed.

"Mirian, shall we go in first?" Nagasaki Asuna glanced at her and smiled as she patted the blonde girl on the head.

Back inside, everyone knew that Miriam had skipped the exam.

"Don't be too sad, just try again next year." Zhou Han stood on tiptoe and patted Milian's head with a smile.

"Miss Zhou Han!" The latter was inexplicably excited, completely forgetting her sadness.

Shen Xi sat alone eating noodles, her pretty face expressionless and her fair cheeks slightly puffed out, as if she were chewing on someone's flesh.

Cheng Fei, who had briefly disappeared, strode back carrying two heavy fishing tackle boxes. "Everyone, since things have come to this, let's go fishing together today?"

"Fishing? I want to go!" Miriam showed no trace of having just abandoned the exam.

“Okay, okay, but I’ve never fished before. Cheng Fei, could you teach me?” Zhou Han also showed an interested expression.

……

After filling their stomachs, the group boarded the yacht and headed out to sea.

Cheng Fei moored the boat in the deep waters of South Bay and went to the waterfront platform at the stern. This was a deck that was only slightly higher than the water surface. After the edges were extended, you could sit down and put your feet in the water. The fishing activities of the Corridor Research Department were held here.

"Teacher Shen, here's your fishing rod." The boy secured his equipment to the gunwale and gestured for him to proceed.

"No interest. Anyway, the most common fish in Nanwan are ugly and unpalatable Chengfei fish. They're no different from garbage once you catch them." Shen Xi said with disdain and disgust.

"Teacher Shen, grouper is delicious. I even cooked it for you on that island back then, didn't I? Have you lost your memory?" The boy shrugged.

"What grouper? I'm talking about flying fish. Can't you understand human language?" The girl frowned and looked him up and down with a puzzled expression.

"Little cutie, really not interested?" Cheng Fei put his hands in his pockets, leaned forward slightly, and looked into her eyes.

The girl turned her face away, her eyes flickering.

"Wow! Ruan Jingyi, how did you catch one so quickly?" Zhou Han exclaimed in surprise, then paused, "Uh, it's such a small fish... should we release it?"

Shen Xi thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the boy. "If I catch a Cheng Fei fish, chop it into minced meat and make tomato fish balls for me. That's an order."

"A piece of cake, but what exactly do you mean by catching?" The boy nodded without hesitation.

"Chopping up the fish caught into minced meat to make tomato fish balls, this ugly and unpalatable creature only deserves to be treated like this, can't you understand?" The girl frowned slightly.

Cheng Fei opened his mouth, then obediently lowered his head, "Yes, Your Highness. As long as Your Highness is happy."

Shen Xi snorted coldly, walked to her fishing rod, and put the complicated and professional fishing rig into the water.

Nagasaki Asuna watched this scene with her hands behind her back, smiled, and turned to pull Ye Shuang up, "Shuangshuang, how about we have a competition to see who can catch more fish?"

"Actually, I'm not very good at fishing either." The obedient girl fiddled with the shiny metal lure.

“Miss Ye Shuang, let me teach you!” Milian stepped forward and volunteered.

And so their holiday fishing trip began. They didn't even go back for lunch, having lunch in the boat's kitchen, and fished all night long.

It turns out that even when people are equally unprofessional, there are still differences in their abilities.

Shen Xi and Ruan Jingyi caught the most fish.

"It's Cheng Feiyu again. How come there are so many Cheng Feiyu in this world? They're like sea rats, shameless and everywhere." The aloof girl looked down at the haul in the box, making no attempt to hide her disdain.

“Shen Xi, this looks like a giant grouper, which is especially rare among groupers. If you don’t want it, I can use it to cook.” Nagasaki Asuna leaned closer to look curiously.

"Excuse me, I need that flying fish chopped into mince." The aloof girl said expressionlessly.

In contrast, Ruan Jingyi's catch included fish of all sizes.

"Ruan Jingyi, so many fish! We're rich!" Zhou Han grabbed the bewildered, quiet girl and shook her around.

Although Nagasaki Asuna and Miriam didn't have a huge catch, they did manage to catch a few.

Ye Shuang only caught a very small sardine.

"You guys are amazing, I really can't fish." The well-behaved girl covered her face.

Cheng Fei, the initiator of the event, quietly helped everyone pack up their equipment and did not participate in the inventory of the spoils.

"Um, where's Cheng Fei's fish?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked, her hands behind her back.

"Fish? What kind of fish?" The boy asked with a smile, carrying a heavy fishing tackle box.

"No, it's nothing." The sweet girl seemed to sense something and shrank her neck.

Back at the villa, the hungry group waited for Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna to prepare dinner.

Shen Xi carried the most valuable grouper from the fresh harvest to the kitchen and ordered it to be chopped into minced meat.

"Teacher Shen, you mustn't do that! You're wasting such a precious resource!" Cheng Fei tried to stop him.

"It's just an ugly and unpalatable Cheng Feiyu. Ye Shuang, chop it up for me." Shen Xi said coldly.

The well-behaved girl doing odd jobs nearby tilted her head and asked, "But I don't know how to cut fish?"

"Just cut the meat off and chop it up." Shen Xi's expression remained unchanged.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Ye Shuang nodded tentatively.

The boy next to him shivered for no reason. "Master Ye, why are you pointing the knife at me?"

Later at dinner, an unusual dish of tomato fish balls (made by Cheng Fei) was added, which Shen Xi shared with everyone and received unanimous praise.

"Shen Xi, what kind of fish is this made of?" Milian asked with starry eyes after tasting it.

"Cheng Feiyu." The aloof girl let out a cold laugh.

"Really? This fish with the same name as my junior looks so delicious!" Miriam exclaimed happily.

"Hey!" came a protest from a boy nearby, which was naturally ignored.

As night deepened, the exhausted group finished washing up and returned to their rooms.

Cheng Fei opened the glass door to the balcony to go next door, but it was locked again. He had no choice but to knock on the glass, just like yesterday.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her phone with one hand and examining it with the other, seemingly studying something. She didn't even look up when she heard a sound, and casually picked up the earphones that were next to her and put them on.

The boy stood outside in silence for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed her number again. The first time, the call was hung up after it rang, and the second time, the message "user busy" simply rang out.

Cheng Fei smacked his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave.

Then, the boy nimbly climbed over the outer wall to the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor, pushed open the door and went inside.

In the quiet room, a blonde, blue-eyed beauty was sprawled out, fast asleep.

"Senior sister," Cheng Fei called softly as he approached the bedside.

no respond.

"Senior, wake up." The boy patted her face from side to side.

"I'm not taking the exam... Who?! It's your junior, what's wrong?" Miriam woke up with a start, covering her face. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Give me a spare key, I can't get into Shen Xi's room." Cheng Fei held out his hand.

"Keys? Okay." The girl looked confused and took a bunch of keys from the bedside table drawer and handed them to him.

"Thank you, senior. Goodnight, senior." The boy turned and left.

"Goodnight..." Miriam yawned, her body went limp as she fell back onto the pillow, and closed her eyes again.

Cheng Fei went back to the balcony next door downstairs and successfully opened the door with the key after several attempts.

The boy casually walked to the bedside, pulled back the covers, sat down, and leaned against the headboard with a comfortable sigh.

The room was silent for a second.

As if sensing something, Shen Xi took off her headphones, turned her head, and her pure, dark eyes widened slightly. She couldn't help but shiver, and her face showed an extremely disgusted expression, like "I was just about to go to sleep when I suddenly found a mouse next to my pillow."

"Trash! Where did you crawl in from?" The girl kicked him hard from under the covers.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I love you so much that I just naturally ended up by your side." The boy leaned back with a look of contentment.

"Please swim away. Aquatic mammals are not welcome here," the girl said coldly.

"Little cutie, it was just Miriam hugging you, it's been a whole day, don't be angry anymore, right?" Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Heh, that's all." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, loudly placed her phone on the bedside table, slid her slender body under the covers, and stared intently at the ceiling. "Whatever, please turn off the light, I'm going to sleep."

"Okay." The boy did as he was told, plunging the room into darkness and lying down as well.

The atmosphere became quiet.

"Teacher Shen, do you want to come into my arms, or should I come over and hug you?" Cheng Fei lay down next to her.

"I refuse to answer." The girl's tone was very unhappy.

"Is today still our regular meeting?"

"So some people still remember to hold a routine meeting. They thought today was a fishing festival for aquatic mammals." The girl gave a heavy sneer.

"Uh, the fishing festival is just too cute."

"If you think they're cute, you can go fishing as much as you want for the rest of your life. Plus, they'll keep you company while you fish, so you're never lonely." The girl's cold laugh was laced with clenched teeth.

"So you have a lot of complaints about today's event?" Cheng Fei turned to face her, raising an eyebrow.

"I have no objections, but I didn't expect Cheng Feiyu's so-called meticulous preparation to be like this. However, it's reasonable. It's already quite good that a simple-minded aquatic mammal could come up with something like this. We can't ask for too much." The girl took a deep breath and closed her eyes in the darkness.

"Sigh, the original plan was for the two of us to go fishing alone, but since they came, we all had to go together." The boy sighed, his regret seeming genuine.

"Shut up, I'm sleepy." The girl's tone was unreadable.

"Teacher Shen, could you tell me what you were studying by staring at her hand earlier?" Cheng Fei leaned closer to her, observing her beautiful face so close to his through the dim light from the window.

Shen Xi turned over to face him, opened her eyes and met his gaze. Her pure, dark eyes revealed disdain. "Sorry, I was just bored and learned some meaningless junk knowledge. I've already deleted it from my memory."

Because the two were so close, when the girl spoke, her stubborn lips parted slightly, and the boy could even smell her warm breath with a faint fragrance.

"Your Highness's little hands are so cute, and your technique is amazing. As expected of the Star Spirit Queen, you mastered this skill with ease." The boy said seriously.

"There's no special technique involved. I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily. Cheng Feiyu is nothing special." The girl said indifferently.

"It's all because Your Highness is so beautiful," the young man said, gazing at her.

"Heh, maybe so, after all, that's my level." The girl said expressionlessly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Shen Xi, can we do it again?" the boy asked calmly.

"Of course," the girl replied without hesitation.

"Really?" the boy hesitated.

"I'm just in a bad mood right now, so I won't be responsible if it breaks by accident." The girl's cold voice was devoid of any emotion.

"Shen Xi, you wouldn't do that kind of thing, would you?" The boy felt a chill and couldn't help but swallow.

Shen Xi's lips curled into a gloating smile as she rolled over to face the ceiling. "Go to sleep, you trash. You can hug me, but don't even think about that kind of thing today."

She glanced down at the boy with an air of superiority, her cold voice leaving no room for argument, "This is your punishment for today."
