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

He turned on his phone and glanced at the app icon for Reality Eye, which looked like an abstract eye staring at him. He then turned off his phone and put it aside.

The phone suddenly rang.

Cheng Fei picked it up, glanced at it, and pressed the answer button.

"Teacher Shen?"

"Trash, come over to the meeting." The girl's voice rang out as coldly as ever.

803. The two people having a secret conversation

Cheng Fei washed up, changed into dry clothes, and left the rented room.

When the boy pushed open the door to the thirty-sixth floor, the spacious living room was lit up, and there was a jumble of noise from short videos.

He went inside and saw a cool-looking girl in short-sleeved shirt and shorts sitting on the sofa with a tablet in her hand, her phone charging next to her.

Hearing the sound, Shen Xi put down the tablet, stood up, looked up at the boy, and held out her hand, "Give me your phone."

Cheng Fei looked at her.

The girl's beautiful face, with its pure, ink-black eyes, remained as cold as ever, showing no difference from usual.

Their eyes met for a moment, and the boy looked at her with a helpless smile, "Little cutie, you want to check again? You're really controlling, here you go."

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Xi took the phone and started checking it herself, quickly scrolling through his WeChat chat history and call logs.

Cheng Fei put his hands in his pockets, gazing at the girl's beautiful face with her eyes lowered, his gaze tracing over her delicate nose and stubborn lips.

Noticing this, the girl glanced at him, releasing a subtle look of disgust, and continued checking his phone.

A moment later, the girl, having lost interest, tossed her phone onto the sofa, looked up at the boy, and remained motionless, her expression unreadable. "Trash, come here and hug me to sleep."

"Isn't it a bit too soft and sticky?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have to hug me if you don't want to. I've never expected you to be of any practical use anyway." The girl frowned slightly and turned her face away, seemingly displeased.

"Not at all, since Your Highness wishes." The young man stepped forward without hesitation, picked her up in a princess carry, and headed towards the bedroom.

The girl obediently wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and let her thick, waist-length black hair fall and sway.

"Shen Xi is so cute."

"Disgusting, let's get out of here."

"Yes."

The two voices gradually faded away, and finally, with the sound of the bedroom door closing, everything fell silent.

Only two mobile phones and a tablet remained near the sofa. The screen of the charging phone was lit up, and the notification animation flickered on and off as if it were alive.

……

Back in the room, Cheng Fei placed Shen Xi on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his hips, looked around, and suddenly scratched his head as if he remembered something. "Teacher Shen, what time is it? Let's check the time."

"No need to look anymore, there are no electronic devices in this room now," the aloof girl said abruptly, her face still expressionless.

Cheng Fei met her gaze for a second, a sense of relief washing over him. "Looks like we're pretty in sync?"

"Let them take this opportunity to confuse the public." Shen Xi climbed onto the bed and sat on her side of the headboard.

"What else could it be but tacit understanding?" The boy also got into bed, put his pillow under the headboard, and sat down next to her.

"It just so happens that we all discovered the obvious problems. If Cheng Feiyu doesn't even have this much brainpower, he's not qualified to be my servant." The girl stared coldly at the wall.

"That's true." The boy didn't deny it, but pulled the girl next to him closer and moved her to a different position.

Shen Xi did not resist. Her slender body naturally straddled him, and after a brief moment of tension, she relaxed and nestled into his arms.

The girl's small hands climbed up the boy's back, and she buried her face in her hands, remaining motionless, as if a dark blanket had been placed over him.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "Could it be that the little cutie was frightened?"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm that cowardly?" Shen Xi said in a muffled voice.

"Yes, yes, how could the incarnation of the goddess of wisdom be so easily frightened?" The boy nodded perfunctorily, hugged her tightly, pressing their silhouettes together, and inhaled the faint fragrance from her hair. He whispered, "So what exactly is Xiao Yi?"

A brief silence fell over the room.

"I don't know." Shen Xi took a deep breath.

"Well, this is really troublesome." Cheng Fei smacked his lips and gently stroked the back of her head and spine as he pondered.

Seeing the illusions released by the World Tree, Shen Xi, like him, clearly realized that something was wrong.

“Assuming the World Tree is credible, the fact that Black Umbrella appeared with Her Majesty the Queen suggests that she was also an Apostle in the past,” the boy said slowly. “But Little Yi said she has never seen Black Umbrella. She may be telling the truth, or she may be lying.”

"There's no need to say such obvious nonsense that anyone could figure it out with a single hair." The girl didn't even look up.

"I never imagined Her Majesty the Empress could be so amazing, even down to the strands of her hair." The young man lowered his head honestly and kissed her forehead.

The girl ignored him and said coldly to herself, "Even setting aside the illusion of the World Tree, the Black Umbrella has a physical form, while Isena does not. Moreover, the Black Umbrella has been wandering in the depths of the corridor. Although it is hostile to people, its behavior is clearly different from that of an out-of-control machine. In addition, considering its physical characteristics... the worst conclusion we can deduce is that the Black Umbrella is the true managing apostle of the corridor, and Isena is an imposter. She has been deceiving us from the beginning, which is why she has almost no abilities."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl shivered slightly as if she had caught a chill, and hugged him even tighter, her slender body nestled completely in his arms.

"So Teacher Shen had already thought of this, and just deliberately didn't say it earlier?" the boy asked in surprise.

“Nonsense, obviously we can’t let Isena know that we suspect her.”

"I thought Her Majesty the Empress had really lost her mind halfway through her speech, and I even found it quite cute." The boy sighed with regret.

"Trash, so you're still questioning my intelligence." The girl was annoyed and punched his shoulder hard.

“That’s not what I meant.” The boy stroked her smooth back to comfort her, then thought for a moment, “But now there’s a new problem.”

"what?"

"Why doesn't Black Umbrella just tell us the whole truth directly? As an apostle, she must recognize you, right?"

"I don't know. Maybe she was affected by the mutated order, or for some other reason. In any case, she lost her ability to communicate."

"They can wander around, but they can't communicate?" Cheng Fei rubbed his chin.

“The Apostles are highly programmed artificial life forms. If the Black Umbrella is indeed an Apostle, this situation is not surprising.”

"I see." The boy nodded in understanding. "Back to Xiao Yi, does Your Majesty still think she should be trusted?"

Shen Xi paused for a second, then said, "Isena is the bridge that connects us for everything. There is no other choice at the moment."

“That’s true,” Cheng Fei thought for a moment, “although I don’t think we need to worry too much.”

"What do you mean?" The girl stirred, but her face remained buried.

"Estimated in the worst-case scenario, if Xiao Yi is controlled by a mutated entity, then Earth is doomed and no one can save it. If she is something else, the situation is not critical as long as she is useful to us, so we don't need to worry about either side." The boy clapped his hands, feeling relieved.

"As expected, Cheng Feiyu's greatest strength is ostrich thinking," Shen Xi scoffed.

"I think this is a kind of realistic and optimistic attitude of taking things as they come. We must clearly recognize that there are always some things in life that are beyond the control of an individual, sometimes..."

"I'll let you go with your self-deceptive sophistry and self-proclaimed realism," the girl interrupted him bluntly, and continued, "Besides, I don't think Isena is controlled by the Order."

"What is Your Majesty's opinion?" The young man hugged her tightly with a respectful air.

“Clearly, you have a misunderstanding about the Ordered Entities. Although they are also considered life forms, they exist at a microscopic scale below the Planck length, are composed of complex supernatural matter, and are vastly different from species in our macroscopic world. Even if the Ordered Entities possess some kind of intelligence, if the World Tree and we can hardly communicate, how do you think they could devise a conspiracy as human-like as Isena?” Shen Xi said softly.

"I understand. Just like the Trisolarans don't lie."

"What Trisolarans?" The girl's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she buried her face in his chest.

"Your Majesty doesn't know? The Trisolarans are also an intelligent race living in a certain dimension. Their home planet has three stars that are in an irregular three-body motion, which could devour their home planet at any time. They are very unlucky."

"Since I don't even know where Cheng Feiyu found out?" Shen Xi looked up at him suspiciously.

"Uh, in science fiction novels?" The boy looked at her. Because they were so close, he could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her mouth and nose, and the two crystal-clear pink flesh seemed within reach.

Shen Xi sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, and returned to her original position with her head down. "It's my fault for asking you such a serious question."

"Okay, let's get serious." The boy coughed and muttered, "Since I can't completely trust Little Yi, it seems I need to install hardware safety measures on my robot, like a remote control to force a power outage or something. But that will affect my future plans to rebel and conquer Earth. Oh no..."

"Still planning inhumane things! Just how persistent is Cheng Feiyu in this matter?" The girl was a little annoyed and punched his shoulder hard.

"Don't worry, even if I successfully conquer the Earth in the future, I will still be loyal to Her Majesty the Empress. At most, I'll just coerce Her Majesty into giving me that little, soft..."

"Cheng Fei, dare to utter another word of your disgusting and boring nonsense." The girl's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Sorry, I was just kidding. I would never coerce you." The boy replied without hesitation.

"Take back that 'conquer the Earth' part too!" The girl was even more annoyed and raised her voice.

"Does the Celestial Queen really like humans from Earth that much?"

Just as the two were talking, a knock on the door suddenly broke the atmosphere of their late-night solitude.

Shen Xi was about to speak when she quickly turned to look at the door, glared at the boy, and said, "Trash, go open the door."

"Are you scared?" Cheng Fei looked at her tense little face.

"Stop talking nonsense." The girl lowered her head again.

"To be carried like this to open the door? Although it's not impossible." The boy said with great interest.

The girl then quietly left him.

Cheng Fei got out of bed and walked towards the door, only to find Shen Xi following beside him.

The boy opened the door and saw the person outside. "Nana? What's wrong?"

"This." A sweet-looking girl in pajamas handed over a cell phone. "I saw Shen Xi's phone ringing on the sofa when I passed by. It sounded like she was making a call?"

"Understood." The boy took the phone and ruffled Nagasaki Asuna's hair. "Goodnight?"

"Mmm~ Goodnight." The girl responded obediently, smiling as she looked at the boy.

Cheng Fei closed the door and handed his phone to Shen Xi.

She frowned as she looked at the screen and found two missed calls. After checking the caller ID, she realized, "They must be spam calls."

"Okay." The boy and she looked at each other and shrugged.

The room fell silent for a second.

"Then let's continue, don't worry about it." The boy casually put his arm around her small shoulder.

"Mmm." Shen Xi did not resist, casually placed her phone on the desk away from the bed, and followed the boy back to bed.

The girl glanced at her phone, its camera pointed at the ceiling, then pulled the blanket over her back and snuggled back into the boy's arms. She first looked up to meet his gaze, then, after a moment's thought, leaned close to his ear, her stubborn, pink lips parting slightly, her voice barely a whisper, "What should we do..."

Cheng Fei brushed aside her thick sideburns, leaned close to her ear—almost close enough to take her small, white earlobe into his mouth—and whispered, "This is something we two should know about; let's not talk about it for now..."

The girl trembled slightly, hugged his neck tightly, buried her face in his neck, and responded softly, "Mmm..."

After he finished speaking, the two remained motionless in that position.

A moment later, Cheng Fei hugged her tightly and whispered again, "Shen Xi, I love you..."

"You opportunistic trash!" The girl trembled again, straightened up as if sitting on pins and needles, then returned to her original position, buried her face and gritted her teeth. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she got out of bed and started rummaging through the bedside table.

Under the boy's gaze, she returned with the props and began preparing with extreme reluctance, her cold and beautiful face filled with contempt and disgust.

"Teacher Shen, please consider my previous request. It's really important to me." The boy clasped his hands together with a devout expression.

"Shut up. I don't know what other way to do it. If you don't want to, then forget it. It's good that I don't have to put up with this disgusting Cheng Feiyu anymore." The girl frowned and wiped her hands clean with extreme annoyance.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong, please pretend I didn't say anything!" The boy quickly grabbed her.

"You're hopeless marine debris, don't touch it!" The girl glared at him again before kneeling down beside him, grabbing him, and after thinking for a moment, snuggling close to him in his arms. She looked up with a serious expression, keeping her face very close to his, and tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her rosy earlobes stained with blood.

The boy watched her movements, thought for a moment, and said, "Shen Xi, so you actually know very well what you look like best..."

"Shut up." The girl interrupted him impatiently, her small face condescending, her hands clenched. "Isn't figuring out how to provoke this brainless Cheng Feiyu a piece of cake? It's as natural as feeding a mouse cheese and expecting it to squeak under your feet."

"I see. Her Majesty the Queen is truly a master at taming rats." The boy sighed, deciding to abandon his thoughts and focus on appreciating the secret side that the aloof girl was showing him.

On the desk, the phone's sensors faithfully record data about the surrounding environment as always. The electromagnetic waves emitted are received by nearby signal base stations and converted into light signals, which travel through the complex and vast data network of human society, heading towards an unknown destination.
