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

"If you dare say another disobedient word, you're going to sleep," the girl interrupted him.

"I'm sorry." The boy zipped up his lip.

"Sit still." Shen Xi glared at him, took a deep breath, and got out of bed.

Under Cheng Fei's gaze, the girl took her props and sat down next to him with her legs curled up.

"Teacher Shen, is it starting already? No need to turn off the lights?" The boy watched her movements and inexplicably felt like a patient lying on an operating table, watching the nurses prepare the room.

After using the prop, Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and stared at the boy, coldly saying, "Trash, from now on, look at my face."

"Okay, but why?" The boy's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably stiffened.

"Don't you like looking? Now you're only allowed to look at my face." The girl leaned against his side, keeping her head up, and looked him in the eye.

"Yes." The boy's gaze lingered on the exquisitely beautiful, cold face so close to his, then swept over her curled-up legs, from which he could vaguely glimpse her petite and soft contours.

"Trash, I told you you're only allowed to look at my face!" Shen Xi said coldly and displeasedly, her small hand tightening slightly before pausing. "If you dare look anywhere else or think about anything else, I'll stop right now."

"Huh? Little cutie, where did you learn all this? It's too freakish." The boy's expression turned serious.

"Shut up, am I not good enough for you?" The girl gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"Enough." The boy said only one word before shutting his mouth.

“From now on, this is how I will treat you.” The girl’s eyes gradually lost focus and became empty. Her serious tone was like that of someone explaining a treatment plan to a patient. “If you dare to stare at my feet, you can forget about everything else.”

"Teacher Shen, are you actually serious?" The boy was speechless with emotion.

"I've never joked with you before, so please cooperate actively. In return, I can reluctantly give you a reward." The girl turned her face away, her eyes flickering.

"What reward?" The boy couldn't help but swallow.

Shen Xi brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing her smooth earlobe flushed red. She pressed herself so close to him that their faces were almost touching, and they could clearly feel each other's breath. Her eyes were fixed on him intently, her brows slightly furrowed. She maintained this posture, and the movement of her small hands became ominous. "This is how you reward me."

"Teacher Shen, wait, don't..." The boy trembled slightly.

After a while, the room returned to calm.

After the boy turned off the light and lay down, the girl naturally snuggled up to him, resting her head against his ear.

"Shen Xi, you've completely gone astray now," the boy sighed, gazing at the dark ceiling.

"Please figure out who's responsible for this situation." The girl sneered, burying her head near his neck.

"Is it really my fault?" The boy felt inexplicably sad.

"Cheng Fei, you made me do this on my birthday. If you ever break your promise again, I will never forgive you." The girl gripped his shoulders tightly.

"It seems like I didn't ask you to do this today?"

"What did you say?" A chilling aura suddenly emanated from the speaker.

"Nothing," the boy quickly replied.

"Cheng Fei, finish the prototype as soon as possible, then break up with that Lin guy." The girl's tone was unreadable.

"And then you'll agree to be with me?"

"This is an order, stop haggling!" the girl raised her voice.

"Okay." The boy immediately became obedient.

"It must be before the engagement at the latest," the girl said again, emphasizing her words.

"Don't worry, Shen Xi." The boy hugged her and gently patted the back of her head.

The girl pulled the boy's hand down and held it tightly.

A brief silence fell in the darkness.

"Shen Xi, I have a question."

"what?"

"It's uncertain whether this will work. What if I become interested in your little hands again? Especially since you were being so unruly today."

"..."

"Teacher Shen, are you asleep?"

"Shut up, I'm sleepy."

"Yes."

……

754. Ye Shuang is studying hard (forced)

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the two stepped out of the seaside villa.

The tall, handsome young man yawned, his hands in his pockets, his gaze subtly sweeping over the skirt of the aloof young woman beside him.

Those long, slender, snow-white legs, clad in spotless white socks and uniform shoes, resembled exquisite works of art, inspiring admiration no matter how many times one looked at them.

Shen Xi sat in the passenger seat expressionlessly, glanced at the boy beside her, raised her chin, frowned slightly, and stared straight ahead, her voice cold as if talking to herself, "Cheng Feiyu, who is terminally ill, really still needs continued treatment."

The boy shivered for no reason. "Sweetie, can you stop? There's nothing wrong with liking your feet, is there?"

"Shut up, except for this one." The girl glared at him without any politeness.

Cheng Fei hesitated, then sighed and stepped on the gas.

The sports car left Nanwan and headed towards Guang'an Street.

……

On Monday of the new week after the college entrance examination, Yinghua resumed its usual routine, but it was subtly quieter than usual because the senior students had left school.

As the bell rang for the end of the last period in the afternoon, the classroom of Class 6, Grade 11, became noisy.

"Hey, did you see the fireworks display in South Bay yesterday?"

When did this happen?

"Around eight or nine o'clock at night, it's especially beautiful, let me tell you..."

Such discussions arose.

Chen Hao listened intently for a while, then walked over and put his arm around Du Xinhua's shoulder. "Hey, did you know there was a fireworks display in Nanwan last night?"

"Oh, I happened to see that nearby," Du Xinhua said, her face showing recollection.

"I heard it's a frighteningly large event. It's not a special day, so why are they holding it?" Chen Hao rubbed his chin.

"Who knows, maybe it's to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination," Du Xinhua shrugged.

"That's too unrealistic. I think maybe someone is pursuing a girl." Chen Hao said seriously, looking thoughtful.

"How is that possible?" Du Xinhua asked in astonishment.

"Imagine, setting off fireworks just for one person—if something like that happened, even the most aloof and unapproachable girl would be moved to tears on the spot, right? It's practically the ultimate way to pick up girls." The guy with the pompadour beamed, his smug expression making it seem as if he were the one setting off the fireworks.

"Indeed invincible, provided you have that much money." Du Xinhua nodded with disbelief and continued packing.

At this moment, Chen Hao noticed that Zhou Han, who was passing by, was holding Ruan Jingyi's arm and staring at him with a suspicious look.

"Hey! What's with that expression? Are you looking down on me?" Chen Hao turned his head as if sensing something.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect someone like you to be smart sometimes." The petite girl shook her head nonchalantly, gave a light snort, and left with her best friend.

"What does she mean? Is she being sarcastic or mocking me?" Chen Hao asked, puzzled.

"Probably?" Du Xinhua nodded in agreement.

Cheng Fei packed his things and left the classroom when he was stopped by a girl wearing round-framed glasses and a bun hairstyle.

"Su Wenwen? What are you up to now?" The boy looked wary.

Public opinion is a fearsome thing, and after spending a year in Yinghua, he deeply realized the weight of this word.

Every time Su Wenwen wrote a report about him in the news department's monthly magazine, the school would be filled with rumors about him for at least the next week.

It seems that he and the Corridor Research Department have been used as a code to control traffic by this guy.

"Don't be nervous, this isn't an interview. The student council asked me to give this to you on my way." Su Wenwen handed over an envelope.

Cheng Fei took it and raised an eyebrow, "An invitation to the graduation ceremony?"

……

The boy walked downstairs to the school building with his hands in his pockets.

The monthly exam results from the past two days are posted here, covering an entire wall.

A pretty girl with pigtails stood in front of her report card, her brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

Cheng Fei casually walked up to her, his gaze sweeping over her straight legs encased in white over-the-knee socks before turning to her report card.

The top three remained unchanged: him, Shen Xi, and Nagasaki Asuna. Their names seemed to be engraved in that position, never to change.

The boy's gaze moved from fourth place to hundredth place, then from hundredth to two hundredth place, and finally he saw a familiar name at exactly three hundredth place.

"Master Ye, the goal of tutoring is to get into the top 300. Are you really only aiming for the top 300?" Cheng Fei looked down at the obedient girl beside him.

Ye Shuang glared at him, then lowered her head, her eyes darting around, "I've already tried my best..."

"I know, our Master Ye has been very good and doesn't blame you." The young man gently patted her head.

"You scumbag, don't do anything reckless!" Ye Shuang was startled and quickly distanced herself from him, looking left and right.

Fortunately, no one noticed what had just happened.

Cheng Fei shrugged nonchalantly.

The obedient girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously asked, "So, does that mean I don't have to have tutoring anymore?"

"No." The boy said without hesitation.

"Why?!" Ye Shuang couldn't help but clench her little fists.

“Master Ye, are you satisfied with just 300th place? Now is the perfect opportunity to work harder. The final exams are coming up soon, and the new goal for tutoring is to get into 250th place.” The boy said seriously, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"But I don't want to learn anymore!" the obedient girl said in a wronged voice.

"You delinquent girl, you're not going to learn anything good, are you? There's no room for negotiation on this." The boy stood with his hands on his hips, staring at her, almost laughing out of anger.

"You're just bullying me!" Ye Shuang stomped her foot, her eyes slightly red, and turned her face away from him.

"Enough talk, let's go to the club." Cheng Fei shook his head and turned to leave.

"I'm not going." The obedient girl stood still.

"Why don't you go?" the boy asked, staring at her face.

"I have something to do," the girl said, her head bowed.

"what's up?"

"I'm going to protect the young lady."

“I’ve already asked around. Xuanqi is with Mrs. Lin today and is perfectly safe. I think you just want to go home and read comics.”

"I'm not...!" The obedient girl turned her face away as if she had been pricked by a needle.

"Please listen to me and hurry up."

……

at the same time.

A sweet girl with long, coffee-colored hair walked up to the rooftop of the club activity building with her hands behind her back and pushed open the only door.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Shen~" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes lit up and she smiled.

Shen Xi lowered his eyes to read, completely ignoring her.

Nagasaki Asuna sat down next to her and took out her own things to look at.

After a brief silence, Nagasaki Asuna, without looking up, said, "I never thought you would actually do something like that."

"Nervous? Your only value as a vixen is about to be replaced. You've gone to great lengths to seduce him, and in the end, he still comes to me begging for my hand." Shen Xi sneered, her voice laced with sarcasm.
