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

Cheng Fei rubbed his chin. "But to be honest, this result is quite reasonable."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.

“Your mother has already traveled to another world. If she faked her death and created a lifelike corpse to fool everyone, wouldn’t that make sense?” The boy clapped his hands.

"But what exactly was buried there?" Shen Xi stared intently at him.

Nagasaki Asuna, who was listening nearby, shuddered and pulled the sofa cushions into her arms.

"That's hard to say. Who knows where your mother got the fake body from? Maybe it's an alien clone." Cheng Fei shook his head.

Shen Xi's eyes flickered. She took a deep breath and suddenly stood up. "Go open the coffin again!"

"Teacher Shen, calm down!" Cheng Fei quickly pulled her back. "It's possible, but unnecessary. We have enough information now. Even if we go to get more samples and go through a lot of trouble to figure out the composition or even the molecular structure, it won't answer any questions. It's not good to keep digging up your mother's grave, right?"

Under the boy's worried gaze, the girl sat down again, finally giving up on her plan.

"Eh, is that enough?" Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip, puzzled. "By the way, why is it more likely that Shen Xi's mother faked her death?"

"This is inferred from her behavior in the video." Cheng Fei repeated the idea he had previously shared with Shen Xi.

“That makes sense. If she knew a lot of secrets before Shen Xi’s birthday, she wouldn’t have acted like she didn’t understand Shen Xi.” Nagasaki Asuna thought about it seriously and nodded.

Shen Xi took a deep breath. "Then the investigation of this lead will end here."

"Okay, then thank you for keeping the data safe, Ms. Shen. It might come in handy in the future." Cheng Fei handed her everything at once.

"What should we do next?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and looked at the two of them.

"Everything's alright for now, let's go." The boy thought for a moment.

"Trash! You still want to take her out to fool around?" Shen Xi's eyes narrowed, her displeasure written all over her face.

The boy looked at her, feigning surprise. "Teacher Shen, does this mean you're lonely at home alone during the holidays and don't want to leave us? If you don't mind us making noise, that's fine too..."

"Um, Cheng Fei, I was asking about what to do about the next part of the investigation?" Nagasaki Asuna interrupted quietly.

"This?" The boy paused for a moment, then coughed lightly. "The current plan is to go to Antarctica and find the location where Professor Shen's mother conducted her scientific expedition back then. Maybe we'll make a discovery. This is a new research topic."

"Huh? That's far." Nagasaki Asuna blinked and let out a small sigh.

"Don't mind it, I never expected you, you vixen, to go anyway," Shen Xi sneered.

"Teacher Shen, please don't say that. Nana is of utmost importance." Cheng Fei said calmly.

Shen Xi stood up and stared at him with a disdainful look for a second. "Whatever, you're hopeless aquatic mammal. I'm busy now. You can continue wasting your life with this vixen. Goodbye!"

With utterly cold words, she lifted her soft, slipper-clad foot and struck him without hesitation, then turned and walked away.

Under the watchful eyes of Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna, the girl's slender legs moved swiftly and disappeared in the direction of the bedroom.

"Cheng Fei, should we go and comfort her? The cat can wait here." Nagasaki Asuna hugged her cushion nonchalantly.

"No need." The boy stood up and extended his hand to Nagasaki Asuna.

The sweet girl sat in her seat for a moment, then leaned forward tentatively, resting her fair chin on the boy's palm, glancing up at him.

"I told you to put your hand up here, what are you doing?" The boy looked down at her and pinched her sweet face that could be held in one hand.

"Oh." Nagasaki Asuna quickly did as she was told, a happy smile on her face.

Cheng Fei pulled the soft, light girl up and led her away from the upscale apartment.

The two walked towards the rented house across the street. Nagasaki Asuna held the boy's arm tightly in her arms, humming an unknown tune, and walked with light steps.

"Idiot, what are you so happy about?" Cheng Fei grabbed her cheek and tugged at it.

"Being able to be with my owner makes me so happy. It makes all the suffering I've endured feel worthwhile." The girl's lips curled into an uncontrollable smile as she let herself be treated like an object.

"There's nothing I can do with you." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Has Shuangshuang contacted you since the holiday started?" The girl rested her head on the boy's shoulder.

"How could she possibly reach out to me on her own initiative?" The boy glanced sideways. "You're that concerned about her?"

“I sense she’s been lonely lately,” Nagasaki Asuna said earnestly.

"You can sense this too? You and she have a telepathic connection?"

"I guessed it. Ever since the typhoon, the way she looks at Cheng Fei has completely changed." The girl looked up and met the boy's gaze, placing her hand on her chest.

"I can't tell. Let's find her for tutoring in a couple of days and then see." Cheng Fei shook his head.

“Nana also wants to take tutoring classes,” Nagasaki Asuna quickly said.

"Don't beg me! Don't you know you scared her last time?" The boy tapped her on the head.

"The cat just wanted to help Cheng Fei teach her a lesson and change her mind sooner. Such a well-behaved cat still got beaten up." Nagasaki Asuna covered her head with one hand, showing a genuine sense of grievance.

"You're really generous to her," the boy said, pursing his lips.

"Nana's current dream is to one day spend the night with Shuangshuang and Cheng Fei." Nagasaki Asuna nodded vigorously.

"You..." The boy opened his mouth.

At that moment, the text refreshed before his eyes.

Cheng Fei fell silent.

System, what is the meaning of your existence in this world?

"Hey, what's wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna looked into the boy's eyes, as if sensing something, and stood on tiptoe to look with him at where the words were floating, even though she couldn't see anything.

System, someone has already noticed your presence. Don't you really want to say something?

Naturally, Cheng Fei's question received no response, and the text in front of him disappeared after a moment.

"Nana, classmate." The boy rubbed his chin.

"Hmm?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up and obediently responded.

"Actually, I've always had a question."

"What is it?"

"How do you manage to sneak up on me without being noticed, like you're invisible?" Cheng Fei asked seriously, looking at the girl's innocent-looking face.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked and tilted her head. "It's simple. Just observe where Cheng Fei's attention is, and quietly walk past his blind spot, right?"

"I see. You're really something, a born thief and assassin," the boy exclaimed.

“But Nana is too weak. She can’t steal anything, let alone kill anyone.” The girl shook her head, her soft sideburns swaying, exuding an indescribable innocence and naivety.

"You're quite good at stealing." Cheng Fei smacked his lips and led her forward.

"Hey, did Nana really steal something?" The girl blinked.

"Of course I stole it." The boy ruffled her hair.

"That's great." The girl let the boy massage her, her eyes narrowing into two crescent moons as if she was enjoying it.

The two returned to the rented room, and Cheng Fei pinched Nagasaki Asuna's cheeks.

The girl seemed to sense something; her clear, bright eyes became moist, and her small feet, clad in white socks and uniform shoes, tried to stand on tiptoe.

After a while, Nagasaki Asuna gently patted her chest to calm her breathing, and thought for a moment, "Cheng Fei, by the way, why did you suddenly ask about that earlier?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to learn a bit, maybe I can do it in the future." The boy pulled and manipulated the delicate and charming sweet girl in front of him without any regard for her dignity.

Nagasaki Asuna let herself be treated so rudely, her hazy eyes completely occupied by the boy's figure, and nodded, "Even the cat believes that Cheng Fei can do it."

"Nana." The boy sat down and pulled her into his arms.

"Hmm?" the girl murmured unconsciously.

"I need your help with something later." The boy looked at the girl in front of him.

"Okay~ As long as it's Cheng Fei's order, Nana will do whatever he asks." The girl frowned slightly, her sweet face showing a hint of unease, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, yet also seemingly willing.

"It's nothing really..." The young man gently stroked the back of her thick, coffee-colored hair.

evening.

Despite Nagasaki Asuna's reluctance, Cheng Fei still took her back to the upscale apartment across the street.

The aloof young woman holding a water glass bumped into the two people who entered the room.

"Teacher Shen, you weren't sulking all day over there and didn't even eat dinner, were you? We're back to have dinner with you, aren't you happy?" The boy opened his arms to her.

Then he was met with a merciless blow from the girl.

"Go to hell! You self-righteous Cheng Feiyu, go back to your rat's den and log on." Shen Xi's disgust was palpable.

"Going online is no problem, but at least have dinner first?" The boy shrugged.

"You're delusional. Who do you think would wait for trash like you who hangs out with vixens to eat with you?" The girl made no attempt to hide her sarcasm.

Cheng Fei opened his mouth, but in the end he chose to lower his head and said, "Understood, Your Majesty."

……

Our gaze shifts to another world.

Inside the cockpit of the teardrop-shaped airship, the entire crew of the Miriam gathered to discuss the upcoming voyage plan based on the intelligence they had recently gathered.

“Miss Nagasaki, let me tell you, my father told me to go back to Britain for the summer vacation, but I insisted on staying!” Miriam moved closer to Nagasaki Asuna, puffing out her flat chest as if she were asking for credit.

Nagasaki Asuna, hands behind her back, said nonchalantly, "Milian, if you're not going home for summer vacation, you'd better make the most of your time for catching up on your studies?"

"Miss Nagasaki, you really care about me the most, waaaaah...!" The blonde girl was so moved she was almost exaggerated.

"Senior, you ignored me when I reminded you to study, right?" Cheng Fei couldn't help but complain.

"Miss Nagasaki! Could you tutor me?" She casually ignored the boy again.

"Well... to be honest, I'm quite busy myself." Nagasaki Asuna's eyes darted around.

"Tsk." The boy walked away, looking annoyed.

Shen Xi, who was staring at the aerial chart studying the flight path, seemed to have seen something very funny and burst out laughing.

"Master Ye, what have you been doing these past few days? You haven't been engrossed in reading comics, have you?" Cheng Fei leaned over to the other side, keeping a low profile.

"What's it to you?" the obedient girl said indifferently.

"Just a reminder that you should continue your tutoring during the holidays. Please arrange your time accordingly and let me know." The boy lowered his voice slightly so that Miriam wouldn't notice.

"I have to protect Miss, I don't have time." Ye Shuang turned her face away from him.

Shen Xi's face turned cold in an instant, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if some kind of problem had appeared on the empty map.

773. The Corridor Research Club's First Summer Camp Activity

"Sigh, delinquent girl..." Cheng Fei said with a regretful expression.
