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

"Then come pick me up..."

As if possessed, she almost pressed send, but at the last moment she snapped back to reality and deleted all the text she had unconsciously typed.

Ye Shuang shook her head vigorously, trying to banish all the increasingly serious random thoughts from her mind.

If this continues, she will really be letting her mistress down...

but……

The girl stared at the dark ceiling, her thoughts indescribably chaotic, and she finally drifted off to sleep very late.

The next day, early in the morning.

Paramela traversed Academy City, picked up the strikingly well-behaved girl dressed in a sailor uniform and white knee-high socks in a familiar neighborhood, and returned to her rented apartment on Guang'an Street.

Ye Shuang, holding a half-eaten pineapple bun (bought by Cheng Fei), followed the boy into the bedroom and looked at the window. "Is the one you broke last time fixed?"

"Of course, it's been so long." The boy nodded, then smacked his lips and muttered, "I wish there was another typhoon today."

"Don't jinx it!" The girl's eyes darted around, and she stomped her foot, glaring at him.

"Even if I really have a jinx, it's impossible for me to be this good, right?" The boy looked at her helplessly.

"Anyway, stop talking nonsense over there." The girl avoided his gaze.

Suddenly, Cheng Fei thought of something, leaned forward to look at that handsome face with its well-defined features, and said calmly, "Master Ye, if, I mean if, there really is another typhoon next time, and I let you stay overnight, would you agree?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand!" Ye Shuang quickly dodged him, pulled out a chair in front of the desk, sat down, hugged her bag to her chest, and looked eager to study.

"So you won't agree?" The boy sat down next to her and leaned into her field of vision.

"..." The girl lowered her head, biting her lip lightly, her eyes flickering.

"Will you still agree?" The boy followed her gaze.

The obedient girl glanced at him, then looked away, burying her head even lower and clutching her bag tightly, as if that would give her some sense of security. "...We'll see."

What do you mean by "depending on the situation"?

"that is……"

"that is?"

"You're so annoying! Stop asking me all this questions, I need to do my work!" Suddenly, she pushed him away with a sense of irritation, slammed her workbook on the table with a loud thud, and opened it.

Cheng Fei shook his head, giving up on asking further questions, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Anyway, I'll definitely ask you to stay overnight."

"Then I won't sleep in the same bed with you either," Ye Shuang said in a muffled voice, staring away.

774. The two's new tutoring plan

"Really?" The boy looked at her.

"Cheng Fei, you're really annoying!" The girl clenched her fists, barely able to contain herself.

"Never mind, it seems I'm the only one still reminiscing about that night. I thought Master Ye felt the same way." The young man retreated, shaking his head and sighing.

The air in the room was quiet for a moment.

"Who's like you? You scoundrel..." The obedient girl lowered her head, as if she were cursing an exercise book.

"Master Ye, you were the one who initiated the kiss, so how come I'm the one who's a pervert now?"

"You stole my first kiss first, so it was your fault!" She gritted her teeth and raised her voice.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault for having ulterior motives towards such an innocent and lovely Master Ye." Cheng Fei nodded perfunctorily and went about his own business.

"He is, a scumbag..." Ye Shuang muttered softly, without looking up.

The two began their tutoring session without saying another word.

A message popped up from the official members of the Corridor Research Department.

Zhou Han: "Shen Xi, I'm ready. Come pick me up."

Miriam: "Miss Zhou Han, please wait a moment, we'll be there soon!"

Cheng Fei: "Good luck, and I wish you all the best. I'll pick up Master Ye later to go over together."

Asuna Nagasaki: "You two had a great time too~"

Ye Shuang: "Who played with him? Nana, don't talk nonsense!"

Miriam: "Miss Nagasaki is so naughty! /laughs"

Cheng Fei put down his phone and looked up. "By the way, Master Ye, the final grades are out. You actually ranked 207th, far exceeding our target of 250th. What are your thoughts?"

Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then pouted, "Maybe it was just good luck."

"You've become humble now?" the boy asked in surprise.

"Then what do you want me to do?" The girl with pigtails gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.

"Don't be angry, I was just saying. Anyway, congratulations on rising from over 400th place in the middle of the pack to 200th place. That's a great improvement, congratulations!" The boy smiled and clapped his hands with an air of seriousness.

Ye Shuang stared at him for a moment, then her expression became subtle. "So, does that mean I won't need tutoring anymore?"

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "As long as I can stay within the top 200, I don't really want to. It's not good to force myself."

Considering her intelligence of 7, it will probably become more difficult to move forward, and she won't be able to make significant progress while playing and learning as she does now.

"...Hmm." Ye Shuang calmly lowered her head to work on her problem.

"Or do you actually want to continue tutoring?" The boy stroked his chin, observing her.

The girl with pigtails glared at him fiercely, as if pricked by a needle, "Don't flatter yourself!"

"Really?" The boy gazed into her dark eyes.

"..." The girl lowered her head, her eyes flickering, her small hands, placed in the absolute territory, twisted their fingers together.

Cheng Fei stared at her for a second, then suddenly said, "I guess I should just continue with tutoring."

"Why?" Ye Shuang looked up abruptly, her eyes widening slightly in disbelief.

"Learning is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind," the boy said seriously. "You just achieved this ranking, so it's necessary to consolidate your gains."

The girl opened her mouth, but her eyes darted around and she didn't speak.

The boy changed the subject, "But if you find it too tiring, we can make it easier for you in the future. For example, we can only study in the morning and go on a date in the afternoon, how about that?"

"I don't want to!" Ye Shuang blurted out.

"If you don't want it, then forget it." The boy shook his head.

"..." The girl's eyes darted around again.

"Or is it that you actually want it but are just too afraid to say it?" The boy looked at her again, his nonchalant gaze seeming to see right through her.

"Cheng Fei!" The obedient girl suddenly became anxious, her small fists clenched.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked, feigning concern.

"You're deliberately bullying me!" Her expression turned aggrieved.

"Where is the bullying?"

"That's flirting!"

"So Master Ye forbids me from flirting with him?" the boy feigned surprise.

"Who gave you permission to flirt with me?!" Her voice was trembling with tears.

"I was wrong, don't cry. Sigh, you made my Master Ye cry again." The boy quickly reached out and patted her head.

"You scumbag...!" The girl sniffed, her voice muffled, but thankfully she didn't cry. She stared at him without moving.

Cheng Fei smiled at the girl, "Master Ye, you're just too cute!"

"Don't give me that!" Ye Shuang simply turned to the other side.

"So you agreed?" The boy gazed at her tearful profile.

"Promise what?" The girl glanced at him with slightly reddened eyes, like a wary little rabbit.

"You agree to continue tutoring?"

The girl's eyes flickered, "Okay..."

"Half tutoring, half dating?"

The girl frowned, opened her mouth as if she wanted to refuse, but managed to hold back. She sat upright, lowered her head, pursed her pink lips, and after a moment of silence, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Then you tell me first, what exactly will we do on the date?"

"Well," Cheng Fei pondered for a moment, "of course, we should do things that make us happy."

"What do you mean by happy things?" The girl tilted her head to look at him, her expression becoming even more wary.

"Like kissing?" The boy's gaze fell on her small lips, which exuded the dignified air of a well-bred young lady.

"Who wants to kiss you?! I'm not going!" The girl turned her face away hastily, as if startled, leaving him with her neatly tied twin ponytails.

The boy quickly coughed and shrugged. "It's just an example. It doesn't necessarily have to involve kissing. As long as two people meet, they can do whatever makes them happy. Isn't that what dating usually means?"

Ye Shuang fell silent, staring down at her clasped hands, as if she were having an internal struggle.

Cheng Fei sat in his seat watching her without urging her, shook his head, and continued his work.

The girl with pigtails glanced at the boy out of the corner of her eye, then turned back around and lowered her head to practice.

"Master Ye, have you finished considering it?" The young man asked casually without looking up.

"You said you'd do whatever makes you happy, so I get to decide what to do. You're not allowed to force me." Ye Shuang glanced at him, her clear voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Uh, don't I have any right to negotiate at all?"

"Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it." Her eyes turned cold in an instant.

"Never mind what I said, just do as you said!" The boy's expression hardened.

"That's more like it, hmph." The obedient girl turned her face away.

"They actually used my magic against me..." the boy muttered.

"What did you say?" The girl's eyes narrowed.

"It's nothing. How about we start the new tutoring program after the training camp ends?" the boy said seriously.

“…Okay.” The obedient girl nodded, not looking at him, her expression inscrutable.

In the afternoon, their last regular tutoring session ended.

Cheng Fei packed all the necessary items and drove with Ye Shuang to Milian's seaside villa.

“Master Ye, if anything happens to Xuanqi during the training camp, you can leave anytime.” The young man thought for a moment as he drove.

"I know." The obedient girl in the passenger seat sat up straight, clutching her bulging bag full of spare clothes to her chest. "You're no different."

"That's true." The boy nodded casually.

The Panamera drove towards the South Bay waterfront villa area and stopped at the gate, a place I'd visited more than once.

As a result, Cheng Fei rang the doorbell but there was no response for a long time.

"Where did these people go?" The boy took out his phone and dialed Nagasaki Asuna's number.

The call was connected in just one second.

"Cheng Fei?" A familiar, sweet voice came from inside.

"Master Ye and I have arrived at the door."

"Please wait a moment, we're on our way and will be there soon."

"Ok."

Cheng Fei hung up the phone and shrugged at Ye Shuang, who was sitting across the passenger seat waiting in the car. "She said to wait a moment."

The obedient girl nodded, looked away, and hugged her bag without saying a word.

The boy stood outside the car with his hands in his pockets, smiling at her.

As evening fell, a cool sea breeze swept along the empty road, ruffling the girl's soft hair and the hem of her pretty skirt.
