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

"Yes, yes, Her Majesty the Empress is very shrewd. She definitely didn't spend the whole night agonizing over what to do and then come all the way to 6:30 in the morning to wait for me. She didn't want to talk to me for two days and was too embarrassed to admit it. She only confessed now." Cheng Fei nodded perfunctorily.

"Shut up!" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and became annoyed in a second, raising her small fist and punching his shoulder hard.

The boy clutched his shoulder with feigned seriousness, making a sound as if he had suffered internal injuries, and looked at the girl's cold little face, "Little cutie."

"What?" The girl looked at him too.

"Since you admit you regret it, it means you don't want to break up with me, which means you want to be with me?" The young man put his arm around her slender waist and became smug.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl narrowed her eyes and let out a sneer, "So what is Cheng Feiyu trying to say?"

"I want to say that I love you too, Shen Xi." The boy gazed into those pure, ink-black eyes.

"Excuse me, I meant I regret breaking up with you and letting you pursue that guy surnamed Lin, which caused so much trouble afterwards." The girl tossed her hair and turned her face away.

The boy pondered for a second before cautiously asking, "So, how is this different from what I understand?"

"As expected, Cheng Feiyu's comprehension is as poor as ever. Human language seems too complicated for aquatic mammals." The girl stared coldly at the wall, took a deep breath, and said in a measured tone, "Let me explain it to you again. Listen carefully, the point of what I'm saying is that the breakup caused so much trouble. If I hadn't broken up with you, you wouldn't have had to spend so much time entangled with that Lin guy, and you could have wholeheartedly served me and helped me advance various research projects. Breaking up with you wasted too much time, and that's what I regret. Not wanting to break up with you doesn't mean I have any extra feelings for you. After all, we were a couple maintained by money from the beginning. Even if time could go back, you would still just be a servant I hired to serve me. Do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy looked at that serious little face, hesitant to speak, yet still wanting to.

The girl looked down at him, blinked, and her delicate, indifferent face remained unchanged.

The air in the room was silent for a moment.

"Furthermore," the girl shifted her gaze back to the wall, speaking casually, but only a close look revealed a hint of unspoken emotion hidden in her lowered eyes, "In case the intellectually challenged Cheng Feiyu thinks I'm cold and heartless, let me add something. Although our relationship was initially maintained by money, if it weren't for the influence of the man surnamed Lin, and your continued behavior to this day, we might have already developed a normal romantic relationship. Although there are no 'what ifs' in this world, and I have doubts about Cheng Feiyu's self-awareness—perhaps she would have attracted someone else even without the man surnamed Lin—I don't deny that possibility in principle. My attitude has always been clear: as long as you are devoted, I will reciprocate your feelings without reservation, even if you have vulgar and disgusting tastes, act despicably and unscrupulously, are lazy and short-sighted, and are all smooth talkers and jovial..."

"Stop, Teacher Shen, I said stop!" The boy interrupted her by pressing his index finger against his palm, helplessly saying, "I know you think I'm a complete scoundrel, so please skip this part and get straight to the conclusion."

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, her face showing displeasure. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "But I am also willing to interact with you in a normal way during my spare time outside of studying the corridor, and to live with you as your wife at the appropriate time in the future."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

The girl glanced at the boy out of the corner of her eye without making a sound, then quickly looked away.

The boy looked at her, smacked his lips, and said, "Sweetie, why don't you just say the last sentence? The prelude to this little essay is way too long?"

"Cheng Feiyu, you're hopeless! Please get the gist of all the things I've said. Even if your memory is terrible, don't just focus on the last sentence!" The girl glared at him fiercely and punched his shoulder.

The boy stared at her, stroking his chin, lost in thought.

"What nonsense are you going to spout now?" the girl glared at him impatiently.

"Based on what you just said, can I understand it like this?" the boy said seriously, "Once we break up with Lin Xuanqi and our relationship gets back on track, we can date normally?"

"This is what I've always meant. Is it only now that Cheng Feiyu, with his poor comprehension, has realized it?" The girl turned her face away expressionlessly.

"Great! I thought even if things got back on track, I'd only have a one in a billion chance of dating Teacher Shen." The boy patted his chest with a sigh of relief, muttering, "The probability suddenly increased, it's really amazing. From one in a billion to one, it's increased a trillion times! Could it just be a boastful statement, and he forgot the original setting? By the way, what's a trillion again...?"

The girl above gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming. Her face showed a kind of helpless hatred and annoyance, like "a rat scurrying around under my feet, arrogant and smug, I want to stomp it to death, but I can't do it because I just promised to live in peace."

Soon, when the boy below actually started counting how many digits were in a trillion, the girl punched him with an expression of unbearable frustration, and sneered, "Sorry, I forgot to emphasize earlier that you misunderstood one point."

"Uh, which point?" The boy was stunned.

"What I'm saying is based on the premise that you're devoted, but that word has nothing to do with a fickle person like you. So even if you break up with that guy surnamed Lin, the probability of us dating is still only one in a billion." After the girl finished speaking, she raised her chin and looked down at him condescendingly, as if she had won some kind of victory.

“I see.” The boy looked at her silently for a second, then suddenly punched her in the palm and nodded to himself. “Then let’s not break up. The probability is so low, it’s too troublesome. Lin Xuanqi and Master Ye have been like brothers since childhood. Maybe they can easily accept each other. With Master Ye as a cover, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to take care of Nana. It’s totally feasible.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi's pupils contracted, her brows furrowed in disbelief, and she took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she spoke softly, "Cheng Fei, I'll say it again, I'm warning you, don't joke about this kind of thing."

The boy, completely unfazed, pondered earnestly and said, "I said I wouldn't break up, but the one in a billion probability seems too complicated. Actually, thinking about it carefully, I can totally..."

The aloof girl with long, ink-black hair stared at him, her pure, ink-like eyes losing focus and becoming empty. Her slender body swayed slightly, and her thousands of strands of hair swayed in the wind, as if an iceberg had appeared out of nowhere and was pushing in, releasing a bone-chilling cold that could crush and freeze everything.

Cheng Fei was speaking when, as always, he couldn't help but shiver. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Looking up at the girl who was piercing him with murderous eyes, he realized that she was enveloped in a kind of tangible, icy aura.

"Wait a minute..." The boy tentatively breathed out a breath, only to find that he was exhaling white mist on this late July summer night. He stared in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. "Teacher Shen, wait a minute!"

"You ungrateful wretch! I've been so kind to tolerate your repeated infidelity, and you still dare to repay kindness with enmity and utter such outrageous nonsense..." The girl's empty eyes reflected the boy's uneasy expression as she murmured softly in a tone devoid of any emotion.

The boy looked left and right, then grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Shen Xi! I was just kidding, I just wanted to tease you. Calm down, I love you, and I will definitely break up with her. Don't get agitated, take a deep breath!"

"Shut up!" The girl raised her voice, staring intently at him, her flat chest heaving violently. "I don't know how to calm down! I've warned you countless times, yet you still dare to spout nonsense. Who knows if the hypocritical Cheng Feiyu really thinks that way?!"

"I've already called your name! Remember the safety word? I won't lie to you. Besides, if you want to get angry, you can wait until the day I'm really engaged to her. Now listen to me, take a deep breath, calm down. Can you see that you're really radiating cold air?" The boy looked into her eyes and coaxed her gently.

The girl frowned, took a deep breath, and punched him on the shoulder again. "Cheng Feiyu, stop talking nonsense and trying to change the subject!"

"I'm not changing the subject, really, you won't believe me, look..." The boy breathed out again, and when he found that no white mist appeared, he froze.

The girl's icy aura had vanished without her noticing, and she frowned slightly as she stared at him. "What are you looking at? Has this Cheng Feiyu lost his mind?"

"Could it be my imagination? No way, don't move." The boy grabbed his hair, looking utterly incredulous, and simply pushed her away and got up.

Under Shen Xi's suspicious gaze, Cheng Fei first checked the air conditioner in the rented room to make sure that the old machine, which often malfunctioned, was not turned on. He then went to the window to feel the outdoor temperature and felt that the daytime heat had not completely dissipated. He then returned to the bedside to check around.

"What exactly is Cheng Feiyu trying to say? Is she just putting on a one-woman show to get away with it again?" The girl pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "If you know how wrong you were, come over and sincerely apologize. Then we can pretend that what just happened never happened."

"Shen Xi, something's wrong with you." The boy stared at her, looking her up and down as if he were seeing her for the first time.

"What's wrong with Cheng Feiyu? Am I wrong?" The girl's face turned annoyed.

"Shen Xi, you were emitting cold air just now, really." The boy gestured, then simply took her small hand, feeling its usual cool touch.

The girl knelt motionless.

The boy then stroked her soft, delicate feet hidden behind her back; they felt slightly cool to the touch, but otherwise there was nothing unusual.

"Cheng Fei, what are you doing? I think I mentioned this rule." The girl glanced at his movements without moving, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Sorry, I was just confirming." The young man withdrew his hand without making a sound, smacked his lips, pressed her shoulder and looked directly at her, solemnly saying, "Shen Xi, promise me one thing."

"What?" The girl frowned.

"No matter what happens, no matter how angry you are, never think that you can just glare at me and kill me." The boy put his hands together.

"Why? And how do you know that's what I'm thinking? You still won't admit you can read minds?" The girl's eyes were filled with even more doubt.

"Damn, you really think that?! Because if you suddenly awaken your power, you might accidentally kill me with a single glare, just like those dragons that were instantly killed by your gaze." The boy was startled at first, then swallowed hard, recalling the scene he saw in the illusion of the World Tree, and wondered if he had just been one step away from death.

"What exactly has Cheng Feiyu been saying since just now? Did he say something crazy that he was afraid I would get angry and scared himself into going crazy?" The girl asked, puzzled.

"Shen Xi, didn't you see? My breath turned into white mist. You really can lower the temperature!" The boy pressed down on her small shoulders, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"I only see Cheng Feiyu as if he's hallucinating because he feels guilty." The girl stared at him, unmoved.

"Oh no, how can I make you believe me?" The boy was certain that what he had just witnessed was not an illusion.

"Are you serious?" Shen Xi scrutinized him.

The boy pondered for a moment, "Seriously, Shen Xi, have you noticed that every time you glare at someone, they get chills?"

The girl paused for a second, then said, "This phenomenon only occurs in Cheng Feiyu, which is obviously due to histrionic personality disorder."

"What is histrionic personality disorder?" The boy was stunned.

"You don't even know that? Exaggerated emotions, dramatic behavior, self-centeredness, and a constant need for attention—Cheng Feiyu clearly suffers from this kind of mental disorder." The girl stared at him.

"Is this about yourself?" the boy thought for a moment.

"They're starting to turn the tables again," the girl scoffed.

"Never mind, that's not important. Anyway, I've always thought it was just my imagination, but you were really unusually cold just now. Thinking about it carefully, it's possible that you were particularly angry several times in winter, and the weather was cold, so it wasn't obvious." The boy revealed a serious expression.

The girl met his gaze, remained silent for a second, then lowered her head, pinched her chin, and her eyes flickered.

"Remember now? As the Protoss Queen, you are a weapon system operating in a certain slit dimension. With a single thought, you can launch an attack across dimensions and freeze your target to absolute zero," the boy described in a serious tone.

The girl looked up, her expression serious. "I can't deny the possibility, but how can you prove that this phenomenon really exists?"

"Uh..." Cheng Fei paused for a second, "Then how about I make you angry again?"

Shen Xi paused for a second, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Then let's begin."

"I'm not breaking up with Lin Xuanqi," the young man said, looking at her tentatively.

The young girl frowned slightly, remaining silent.

Cheng Fei sensed it for a moment but didn't notice any change. After thinking for a while, he said, "My favorite is Nana. She's the girl I adore the most."

The girl frowned and bit her lip.

Cheng Fei checked again but still didn't notice any change. "Strange, could this not be working?"

"It seems there's no proof at all; it's just your guilty conscience making you delusional." The girl scoffed.

"You're pretty good-looking everywhere, it's just a pity you're like a fried egg," the boy said again.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's pupils contracted, and her murderous gaze suddenly pierced him.

Cheng Fei immediately shivered.

795. Shen Xi allowed Cheng Fei to speak.

"Teacher Shen, she's here!" The boy exclaimed in surprise, touching the back of his neck. "You must have just fired a cold air attack."

"Cheng Fei, what did you say?" Shen Xi stared intently at him, took a deep breath, clenched her small fists, and her flat chest heaved violently as if trying to suppress her anger.

"You just emitted a cold air attack, believe me, it's absolutely true." The boy said with certainty.

"I asked about the first question!" the girl raised her voice.

The boy shivered again, his expression hardening. "Shen Xi, we're just doing a test. I didn't mean to imply anything bad about you..."

"Whether you're conducting an experiment or taking the opportunity to slander yourself, you know perfectly well, you heartless piece of trash!" the girl blurted out, her anger reaching its breaking point. "Sure enough, you talk a good game, but you've never changed your prejudices. Go ahead and go find those vixens and those fat women with meaningless fat like the one surnamed Lin. I've had enough of pathetic men like you, ignorant and driven by primal instincts. Die!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl pushed the boy down and made him kneel on top of her. Her face was full of anger, and she clenched her fists and attacked his shoulder one after another.

"Teacher Shen, calm down, calm down!" Cheng Fei grabbed her snow-white wrist. "It's okay to hit me, but it's not good to hurt your little hand. I was just doing an experiment, and I absolutely did not mean to slander Her Majesty the Empress. In my heart, Her Majesty the Empress has always been a perfect and great being from head to toe."

"Shut up! Stop trying to argue. I saw it in your eyes the first time we met in the first year of high school. This is what you really think!" The girl glared at him through gritted teeth, her expression fierce beyond measure.

"How did you know you could read minds?" Cheng Fei was deeply shocked and shivered. He quickly put his hands together and begged, "Please, Your Majesty, calm down. I will never slander your figure again."

Shen Xi looked down at him, her breathing rapid, her fists clenching and unclenching. She took several deep breaths before she could calm down a little. "You should keep your own words in mind. If you dare to make such disobedient remarks again, or if I find out you have similar thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless, you trash."

The girl stared at him with undisguised contempt and spoke coldly before biting her lip and turning her face away.

Cheng Fei swallowed, looking at her still-annoyed profile, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Are you calm now? Can we get back to the main topic?"

"Speak." The girl's voice was cold and unreadable, her eyes narrowed as she didn't look at him.

The boy stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "Although I felt it quite clearly just now, you definitely won't believe me. We need substantial evidence."

"What do you want?" The girl frowned slightly as she looked down at him.

"Let's make this a formal project. How about we buy a thermal imager tomorrow morning and then test it properly?" Cheng Fei looked at her.

"You want to record the temperature changes?" Shen Xi asked thoughtfully.

“That’s right. If you could really create low temperatures, the equipment would definitely detect it.” The boy nodded seriously.

"I don't object. Cheng Feiyu actually had some logic this time." The girl nodded expressionlessly.

"However, there's a problem," the boy said cautiously.

"What?" the girl asked coldly.

"Can you actively control this ability?" the boy asked, looking at her.

"I can't do it. I had no idea such a thing existed." The girl replied without hesitation.

"Now try concentrating? Use my hand as your target." The boy raised his palm towards her.

The girl paused for a second, then shook her head. "No."

"Imagine what it feels like to be angry?"

The girl narrowed her eyes and stared at his palm.

Cheng Fei moved his fingers, but didn't feel anything unusual. He then observed the girl's face. "Not angry?"

"You're angry." The girl narrowed her eyes expressionlessly.

"It's cute to say you're angry, but it doesn't seem to work." The boy shook his head and put his hand down. "In that case, I'll have to make you angry myself."

"Yes, the thing in this world that's best at making me angry is probably this flying fish." The girl sneered.

"You only get angry when you care, so you know I'm the person you care about most in this world." The boy sighed comfortably.

"Enough with the nonsense, so what exactly do you do?" The girl punched him.
