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

"Yes," the boy readily agreed, then thought for a moment, "Do you want me to blow-dry your hair later?"

"Yes." The girl replied, her expression returning to blankness.

"Your Highness's hair is beautiful too. I almost couldn't resist just now. You really know what looks about you that attracts me the most?" The boy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cheng Feiyu is a coward. He talks a good game, but he's actually afraid to do anything." The girl glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, biting her lip slightly, seemingly displeased.

Her waist-length hair still floated in the water, as if a pool of ink surrounded her. The smooth hair, wet, reflected the faint light of the clear water, and against the backdrop of her black hair, her warm skin appeared even more pink and alluring.

"Teacher Shen, you usually keep a tight rein on things and act all traditional, but you always use these tricks to seduce me at crucial moments. Your Celestial Queen is too cunning!" the boy said helplessly.

"I was just wondering when this Cheng Feiyu, who usually scrambles into any available space to find food like a mouse, actually received special training, even when cheese is placed right in front of it, just sniffing it without opening its mouth?" The girl asked, puzzled.

“Teacher Shen, this is slander.” The boy said without hesitation.

"Am I not telling the truth?" the girl said, glaring at him.

"I didn't even smell it." The boy sighed comfortably. "Little cutie, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Give up on me and stop trying to pull any tricks."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl turned her face away abruptly, narrowed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and looked at the insulted woman with an indescribable anger. She sneered, "Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, someone like me, a hilly woman on a plain, is no match for a fat woman like a vixen with excess fat. No matter what, I am not as attractive as a fat woman like a vixen with excess fat."

The boy paused for a moment, then couldn't help but scrutinize her. "Little cutie, are you feeling embarrassed and angry, which has triggered your rebellious streak? In the end, it's because you have too many rules. I'm just respecting your ideas, otherwise I would have already taken advantage of you."

"Shut up! You're just a lustful rat. You always follow me around like a shadow, even staring at my shoes. And now you dare to put on airs over there!" The girl glared at him fiercely, then suddenly pressed down on the edge of the bath towel and straightened up to face him. Her small face, looking down at him, was full of displeasure and contempt, and her eyes flickered as if she were having an internal struggle.

"Shen Xi, what are you doing?" The boy had a bad feeling.

"Shut up and don't move!" the girl snapped, keeping the towel pressed down to prevent it from slipping off. She moved herself on top, ripped off his towel without hesitation, and knelt down facing him.

The girl first closed the distance with a fierce look, then trembled violently as if sitting on pins and needles, feeling an irresistible urge to escape, yet forcibly suppressing it. She took a few deep breaths, her flat chest heaving violently, and finally managed to swallow and force herself to remain still.

In a place unseen by either of them, a certain distance seemed to be quietly disappearing. In the ethereal, indescribable, delicate, and beautiful sensation, as elusive as cherry blossoms in early spring, a deadly aura quietly spread. It was as if two chemical substances that would react violently once they merged had been stripped of all protection and placed together, making the air in the courtyard, and even the breaths of the two people, almost freeze.

"Shen Xi, you...?!" The boy stared wide-eyed at the stunningly beautiful face that was closer than ever before, filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

The girl's face was tense, her teeth clenched as she stared into the boy's eyes. Her voice was cold and stern, "Cheng Fei, if you dare to lay a hand on me, you must hand over the secret. Otherwise, I will be disappointed. Do you understand?"

The boy stared at her, understood what she meant, and hesitated before speaking, "Shen Xi, you're playing with fire."

The girl gave a forced, cold laugh, meeting his gaze with the fearlessness of a victor. Her voice was cold and manipulative as she said, "Trash, look at me carefully. Think about who you think is the most beautiful, the cutest, the smartest. Think about all the things you've fantasized about doing to her, all the filthy, depraved thoughts you have about her..."

"Shen Xi, don't do this, it's really too extreme." The boy swallowed hard, his whole body stiffening.

The girl shivered as if she had lost all strength. She climbed up his back with her small hands, leaned her slender body closer, buried her face in the comfort of his neck, narrowed her eyes and lowered her eyelids, and said in a commanding voice, "Cheng Fei, hurry up and hand over all the secrets."

"Shen Xi, haven't you ever thought about what would happen if I couldn't resist and didn't tell you the secret afterwards?" The boy smelled the familiar, faint fragrance and stared motionlessly at the maple tree opposite him.

"You dare!" the girl raised her voice.

"You said before that being driven by animalistic instincts is another matter, and it's better to eliminate that possibility from the root. But now it's like this again. It's like the magistrate is allowed to set fires while the common people are forbidden to light lamps, Your Majesty." The young man sighed.

The girl buried her face in silence for a second, then her voice became muffled, "Trash, you absolutely cannot do anything to disappoint me. If you lay a hand on me, you have to hand over the secret."

"My little darling, you're just taking advantage of how much I spoil you to do whatever you want." The boy gently stroked the back of her head, his feelings complicated.

"Even if that's the case, it's the result of Cheng Feiyu's own actions getting themselves into trouble." The girl sneered.

"But it doesn't matter. Everyone says I have strong self-control. Your Highness is just giving me a treat." The young man changed his tone, becoming more relaxed. He hugged the slender body in his arms tighter, feeling her hidden beauty, like the untouched peak of a snow-capped mountain.

The girl, her face buried in her hands, stared wide-eyed, trembling violently. She gasped, her stubborn, pink lips clenched, and she forced out a low, reproachful rebuke, "Cheng Fei, you despicable scoundrel…!"

"If Your Highness is tired from playing, just get up by yourself. Don't worry, I definitely won't bully you." The boy smiled and ruffled her hair with an air of ease.

The next second, the girl, her face contorted with extreme anger, opened her mouth, revealing her small, neat silver teeth, and bit down on his shoulder without any hesitation.

"Hiss...?! Teacher Shen?!" The boy's expression changed, and he gasped.

"Shameless trash, don't think you can get away with this! Die!!!" The girl raised her voice as she finished speaking, unable to bear it any longer, and then lowered her head again.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong! I was really wrong!!!"

The boy's mournful cry spread through the night, causing a drop of dew from a branch to fall into the hot spring pool, disappearing into the violently rippling water.

On the other side of the backyard.

"It feels so good, I feel like I could soak like this forever." Zhou Han had a towel on her head, her eyes closed, looking completely relaxed.

Ruan Jingyi next to her was in a similar state; the two snuggled together, their heads resting on each other.

Opposite them, the pretty, well-behaved girl and the gentle, sweet girl were in a similar state, snuggling together intimately, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility and comfort.

"Shuangshuang, by the way, did you guys go to the hot springs when you went to Tokyo last time?" Nagasaki Asuna asked casually, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Yeah, I went to Hakone later." Ye Shuang recalled her memories from back then.

Back then, the boy needed her protection; he would immediately beg for mercy if she clenched her fist. Now, it's completely the other way around.

She had never bullied him before, but now that guy bullies her every day. He's a complete ungrateful scumbag...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel an urge to grab the other person by the collar and question him to see how he would answer. But when she came to her senses, she realized something was wrong and quickly shook her head, banishing the wild thoughts from her mind.

Asuna Nagasaki opened her eyes as if sensing something, observing her out of the corner of her eye. A mischievous smile curled at the corner of her mouth. She then leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Shuangshuang is thinking about Cheng Fei? How about the three of us go to the hot springs together tomorrow?"

"Nana!" Ye Shuang panicked and glared at her, only to be met with the girl's sly and melodious laughter.

Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi were used to the two of them whispering and playing around, and continued to enjoy the hot spring, since they often did the same thing.

Apart from the four, Miriam sat alone to one side, the blonde girl also wrapped her hair in a hair drying cap, she looked down at the water, her pupils dilated, her cheeks and ears were bright red.

No, no, no, no...

Although everyone was wrapped in bath towels, how could she resist those delicate shoulders, exquisite collarbones, varying depths of cleavage, and the graceful lines that were faintly visible beneath the rippling water?

We simply can't hold on!

For her, it was like going to heaven.

I feel like I'm going to faint...

The blonde girl seemed to melt away, slowly sliding down until she sank completely to the bottom of the water, leaving only her hair-drying cap and a string of bubbles bubbling upwards.

At a certain moment, Zhou Han opened her eyes and looked around, her round eyes blinking, "Where is Milian?"

Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head in confusion, then caught sight of a shadow underwater. Her expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Milian has fainted! Shuangshuang, quickly pull her out!"

Let's leave aside the story of how the four of them frantically dragged the blonde girl to the edge of the pool and watched her cough violently, clutching her throat like a dead dog.

After some time, Cheng Fei and Shen Xi returned to the house.

The boy leaned closer to the bathroom mirror to examine his shoulders, where a new row of teeth marks had appeared, exuding an indescribable cuteness. It would have been even cuter if some of them hadn't drawn blood.

"Ouch... That hurts! Teacher Shen, you're too cruel. Is biting really a snow rabbit's nature?" The boy grimaced.

"Shut up. Anyway, Cheng Feiyu is tough and will recover soon. Stop pretending to be pitiful." The indifferent girl walked over with iodine and disinfected his hands with cotton swabs.

"Even so, doesn't your conscience hurt, Teacher Shen? If I accidentally hurt you, I would die of guilt on the spot." The boy leaned down to cooperate with her, his gaze fixed on her small face with slightly narrowed eyes and a serious expression.

"I'm sorry." The girl glanced at him expressionlessly, paused, and continued what she was doing. "But I did nothing wrong. It was this Cheng Feiyu who refused to tell the secret and dared to take advantage of the situation. This punishment is already the greatest mercy. Just pretend that what happened never happened. If you dare to say anything more, don't blame me for being impolite."

"They're acting like nothing happened again, and their speed of turning their backs on people has reached a new high, hasn't it?" the boy exclaimed in shock.

"You have a problem with that?!" The girl gritted her teeth and glared at him, her expression leaving no room for argument.

“No, it’s up to Her Highness the Princess.” The boy replied without hesitation, his expression calm. “Of course, I will remember Her Highness the Princess’s lovely feeling forever.”

The girl's pupils contracted, her brows furrowed instantly, and she glared at him with incomprehensible annoyance. "What did you say?!"

"Sorry, I was just talking nonsense. If you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say anything." The boy lowered his head obediently in a second.

The girl took a deep breath, her small hand holding the cotton swab trembling slightly, her voice filled with gritted teeth, "I can't understand how such a disgusting creature like you could exist in this world. You're just a rat in the gutter, not even as good as a walnut kernel whose brain is full of shady things."

"Hiss... Teacher Shen, be gentle." The boy gasped again.

The girl looked annoyed, and her small hands reluctantly became gentle.

After the disinfection was completed, and the boy put on his bathrobe, the girl moved a stool to the front of the mirror, sat down, pulled off the hair drying cap, letting her wet, dark hair fall down, stared at herself in the mirror expressionlessly, and ordered, "Come here and blow-dry my hair, you trash."

"She really is high and mighty." The boy came up behind her and picked up the hair dryer.

"It's what you're supposed to do anyway." The girl raised her chin coldly and glanced at him through the mirror.

"Wasn't it always the case that if you didn't want to help, you could simply not help?" the boy asked curiously, meeting her gaze.

"That was before. Now, this is a task you must complete for the rest of your life. If you dare to refuse, you'll die." The girl said coldly and without any politeness.

The boy looked at the nonchalant expression on the cold yet beautiful face in the mirror, and caught a glimpse of an indescribable emotion in her eyes. He smiled with relief and nodded, "Yes, yes, my little darling has the final say."

812. Double Body

As the hairdryer began to hum, Shen Xi lowered her eyes and did not comment on his words.

After drying her hair, Cheng Fei picked up a comb and brushed it for her, casually calling out, "Little cutie."

"What?" The girl looked at the boy through the mirror.

"It's cute to completely admit that you're a little cutie." The boy looked at her with a doting expression.

"Disgusting." The girl's expression revealed undisguised disgust. "I'm only reluctantly cooperating to satisfy you now that things have come to this, so don't get too smug."

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, "Can I interpret it this way: your admission that you're a cute little thing and your inability to refuse to help me blow-dry your hair are, in a sense, the same thing?"

The girl paused for a second, then turned her face away expressionlessly. "Yes."

"I understand, so it's content unlocked by increasing intimacy level." The boy nodded to himself.

"Cheng Feiyu is utterly boring." The girl narrowed her eyes, her expression full of disdain.

"Not objecting to the increased intimacy level?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just used to being too lazy to argue, and it's an undeniable fact that our relationship has become increasingly entangled. As long as you take responsibility, I will satisfy your pathetic male desires to the best of my ability." The girl's tone was flat, and her expression held a condescending pity.

"To translate the five words 'increase intimacy' into such an awkward way, Teacher Shen's mouth is still as stubborn as ever." The boy nodded respectfully.

“Misinterpreting it is pointless.” The girl glared at him.

"Shen Xi, dating you is really interesting," the boy continued to smile.

The girl frowned, her expression becoming puzzled. "Has Cheng Feiyu gone mad again? Nobody here wants to date you. I've told you countless times that we're just friends. There's no possibility of us dating again until you break up with that guy surnamed Lin."

"If it's like this even before we've talked, I don't even want to think about what it would be like if we did talk?" The boy looked genuinely surprised.

"Shut up if you're going to spout nonsense." The girl turned her face away, impatient.

The boy smiled nonchalantly and continued combing her hair; the girl's thick, long hair felt cool and smooth to the touch.

Shen Xi glanced at him, then looked away expressionlessly.

The air was quiet for a moment.

While combing her hair, Cheng Fei lifted a strand of the girl's hair, leaned closer, and smelled a familiar and comforting faint fragrance.

Shen Xi stared at the scene in the mirror, her brows furrowed, revealing an expression of extreme confusion and disgust. "Cheng Fei, may I ask what you are doing?"

"Smell your hair." The boy straightened up and continued combing his hair, looking completely at ease.

"Reason?" The girl squinted at him, feeling annoyed that she wanted to turn around and kick him a few times right away.

"It smells just like you, very fragrant. Could this also be a characteristic of the Celestial Queen?" the boy pondered seriously.

The girl paused for a second, pinched her brow, and took a deep breath, as if suppressing her anger. "Cheng Fei, please stop making such absurd and criminal remarks about a high school girl."

"But it smells so good. I've never smelled this scent anywhere else. If I wasn't afraid you'd get angry, I could hold you and smell it all night." The boy said earnestly.

In fact, Ye Shuang, Nagasaki Asuna, and even Lin Xuanqi all have their own fragrances, but he didn't dare say it out loud, feeling that he would die if he did.

"Cheng Fei, congratulations on once again refreshing my impression of how disgusting you are. What kind of person would say such a thing? You're just like a rat that lives in a dark place and moves by smell. No, you are a rat, no wonder you're like this. Please stop sniffing me. I'm your master, not your food. You're giving me goosebumps." The girl rubbed her arms vigorously, her face showing a serious expression of disgust.

"It's not that bad to smell it all over the place, and the hair is no good either?" the boy said casually.

"No." The girl replied without hesitation.

The boy thought for a moment, "Surely we can be together in the future?"

"I advise you to be more realistic. We can discuss things later." The girl's face tightened.

"So there's room for negotiation? Then I'll definitely hug you and smell you to my heart's content from now on, Your Highness, please be prepared." The boy sighed comfortably.

"Cheng Fei, don't go on like this, or I really won't be able to help but doubt whether trusting you was a mistake." The girl covered her chest with her hands and shivered, revealing a 1000% vigilant expression.

"Why is this little cutie so adorable?" The boy stroked his chin as he looked at the girl in the mirror, who had an ethereal, doll-like quality and was full of spirit.

"Shut up. I'm not asking you to comb my hair so you can take the opportunity to unleash your disgusting fantasies on me." The girl's pure, dark eyes gradually became empty, as if she had given up thinking.
