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

The girl turned her face away, her gaze quickly sweeping across the wall covered with fluttering rose petal patterns. She gripped his shoulder and remained silent, as if caught in a mental struggle.

"Of course, if Teacher Shen really doesn't want to, then so be it," the boy added, looking at her.

"Cheng Feiyu, stop pretending. It's just another example of your 'retreating to advance' rhetoric." The girl glared at him without any politeness, her face showing a hint of annoyance at being teased.

“This isn’t just talk, it’s real, my little darling.” The boy brushed a strand of hair from her side and whispered, gazing into her pure, dark eyes.

The girl paused for a moment, then subtly looked away, her face still cold. "Sweet talk is useless now."

"Seeing your performance today confirms that you're exactly as I expected, I'm already very satisfied. In the end, you haven't fulfilled your promise to break up with me, yet you were willing to go on a date with me even with just an empty promise. You've also kept your word and fulfilled your conditions very seriously. My little cutie is indeed the cutest little cutie in the multiverse. So it doesn't matter whether you agree to the third condition or not. In the end, I was just asking for more from you anyway." The boy said slowly, giving her a triumphant smile mixed with doting affection.

Shen Xi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she thought for a moment. Then, she silently nestled back into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his hands as if confirming something. "Is it really okay to refuse?"

"Really, if you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, it's not that important, I won't force you." The young man gently stroked the back of her head.

"I understand." The girl lowered her eyes where he couldn't see her, shifted her body to press closer to him, and fell silent.

After maintaining this state for a moment, she suddenly spoke softly, "Twenty minutes."

"Huh?" The boy stared at the ceiling, seemingly not having reacted.

"I can barely soak with you for twenty minutes, like now... sitting up here," the girl said in a muffled voice.

"Sweetie, I told you not to force yourself." The young man gently patted her back.

"Hypocritical Cheng Feiyu, you still have the nerve to argue even after all this. Your brain is definitely filled with filthy and vulgar fantasies about me." The girl twisted her body and sneered with sarcasm.

The boy stiffened. "Shen Xi, you're completely different now. Before..."

"Shut up. You don't need Cheng Feiyu to tell you anything. Stop acting all innocent after getting the better deal." The girl twisted her body again, her movements surprisingly practiced.

"Yes." The boy obediently shut up. "So it really can be twenty minutes?"

"Hmm." The girl didn't even look up, her voice becoming softer, "Since you agreed to three conditions, and it's something I can do... of course I'll do it, but don't think I'm like you just because I told you."

"This little cutie is just too competitive!" the boy couldn't help but exclaim.

"Shut up, it's the truth." The girl said coldly, then remained silent for a moment before getting off him. "Alright, let's take turns showering first, then you can take a bath."

"Okay." The boy also stood up, letting out a sigh of relief, and muttered, "As expected, all's fair in war. If one step back doesn't work, two steps back will..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi looked at him, stunned for a moment, then her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, "Just how boring is this Cheng Feiyu? I thought he had repented and reformed, but he's never changed!"

After saying that, she seemed to be angry and embarrassed, and returned to him with a feeling of being unable to bear it any longer, her small hands grabbing his neck, although the force was no threat to the boy at all.

"Uh, just kidding, Teacher Shen!" the boy exclaimed, his breath catching in his throat.

"Who knows if you're joking? You always betray my trust with sweet talk. Anyway, Cheng Feiyu has always been like this!" The girl pinched him and shook him back and forth.

"That's too much! It was just a joke. I wouldn't mind if you rejected me earlier!"

"You'd be better off dead than spouting endless lies!"

"Oh, by the way, you forgot to call yourself 'little cutie'!"

"I don't know how to address myself like this!"

"Teacher Shen, please be gentle, I really can't breathe, uh..."

After a fierce battle (?), the two temporarily returned to peace.

"Little cutie, so does what I said earlier still stand?" Cheng Fei rubbed his neck, which she had pinched and bitten, and felt more and more that the Celestial Queen was a dangerous species as cruel and deadly as a venomous snake or a crocodile to its prey.

Shen Xi glanced at him with undisguised contempt and disgust, then turned and left, leaving behind a barely audible sentence, "...Little cutie is going to take a bath."

The boy watched as the bathroom curtain was slowly lowered, followed by the sound of running water, and smacked his lips.

He picked up his phone, which was on the table, and replied to the tea ceremony teacher's message.

"If she wants to eat, go eat with her and see what she wants to do."

"Okay~ But what if Lin finds out about me and Cheng Fei and tries to cause me trouble?"

The reply came instantly.

"Then I can break up with her tomorrow."

The boy typed with a blank expression.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Would they really ruin the plan for Nana's sake?"

"Idiot, you're more important than any plan."

"I really want to see Cheng Fei right now..."

"I'll be back tomorrow."

"Reporting to Cheng Fei... Nana requests to take off towards her master tonight!"

"I'll be back tomorrow, thank you."

"Okay~ But please hurry, Cheng Fei, because..."

"Why?"

"Because the hangar's fuel reserves have overflowed."

That's enough.

"There's something else. Although I should tell you the truth as Cheng Fei asked, it's a little surprise, so could Nana please not tell me?"

"Whatever you want."

"Hmm~ Goodnight, Cheng Fei?"

"Good night"

After replying, the boy opened another chat window.

"Master Ye, Xuanqi wants to have dinner with Nana alone tomorrow. Do you have any ideas?"

The input prompts on the other end lasted for a moment.

"I don't know, Miss told me to take tomorrow off."

"All right"

"Should I go over too? Just in case something happens?"

"No need, just leave it to me."

"I feel like Miss is really starting to doubt me..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we can talk about it during the tutoring session."

"Um……"

"Goodnight?"

"Good night……"

Looking at the unsettling text on the screen, Cheng Fei sighed, thought for a moment, and then pulled up another contact.

"Sister Siyuan, are you free lately? I'd like to find a day to talk to you about something serious."

"Oh my, is this an invitation to a date with my older sister?"

The response was very quick.

"No, we're just talking about serious business."

"Never mind then, I'm traveling abroad."

"Sister Siyuan, my half-sister!"

"Hehe, you really are something else. But what I want to be is more than just a biological sister, isn't it?"

"Anyway, when is Siyuan coming back? I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay, next week, but what's up?"

"A small investment project"

"Oh, so you think of your sister when you need money?"

"Did you buy my fund, Siyuan? How's the return so far?"

"It's almost fifty percent already. My uncle bought some too, and he's been praising you lately!"

"That's good. In short, I would never betray Sister Siyuan. I've always treated you like a sister. This investment project is definitely a rare opportunity. We'll discuss it in detail when you get back."

"Sigh, I can't do anything with you. I'll tell you when I get back, okay?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

"By the way, I'm in Hawaii. The scenery here is really beautiful. How about you and your sister come sometime?"

Following this message, a photo popped up.

It was supposed to be scenery, but the scenery only occupied a small part of the edge, or the so-called scenery was not the distant beach and coconut grove. It seemed to have been taken from a lounge chair on a balcony right after getting up, where you could see the proud curves under the white thin dress and the alluring, fleshy, fair legs.

"I suddenly feel a little dizzy for some reason, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight Siyuan."

After replying, the boy silently closed WeChat.

At that moment, the bathroom door was opened.

A cool, aloof girl wearing a hair-drying cap walked out expressionlessly, wrapped in a bath towel. Her frail, delicate figure seemed to be the opposite of the one in the photo.

Shen Xi and Cheng Fei met eyes, then looked away casually, and said softly, "It's your turn."

"Okay." The boy put down his phone, got up, and went to take a shower.

Shen Xi sat upright on the edge of the bed. When she heard the sound of the shower running, she moved her gaze and picked up the shirt that the boy had casually tossed on the edge of the bed. She frowned slightly, unfolded the shirt and brought it close to the collar. Her small nostrils twitched. After a second, she looked at her soft palm and brought it closer. Naturally, she could only smell the scent of shower gel mixed with shampoo.

After a moment, the girl calmly put the shirt back in its place, glanced at the phone next to her, thought for a moment, picked it up, skillfully unlocked it, opened WeChat, and browsed through the message history one by one.

She squinted, her face growing increasingly displeased. Finally, she tossed her phone aside, stared at the wall, and gritted her teeth, as if there was something hateful on it.

Cheng Fei quickly finished showering and filled the bathtub with water. Wrapped in a towel, he poked his head out of the bathroom and said, "Teacher Shen, you can take a bath now... What's with that look in your eyes that says you want to kill me?"

Noticing the phone had moved, the boy roughly understood.

Shen Xi glanced at him, her small face cold, and walked into the bathroom without saying a word. She went to the bathtub, her small, soft body straightened up, tested the water temperature, and then her slender, beautiful body went in.

"Come in, trash." The girl stood in the water and turned around coldly.

"Okay?" The boy cautiously followed him in and sat down first. Although it was very comfortable, he didn't dare to make a sound of comfort.

The girl held onto the edge of the bath towel with her small hand, looking down at him with an indescribable expression, and then sat down facing him.

First, she turned her face away, her whole body tense as if she wasn't used to the water temperature. After a few seconds, she looked at him with a cold expression, pulled off the hair drying cap on her head, raised her chin and shook her head, letting her smooth, dark hair cascade down, sliding into the water from the back of her head and the sides of her pretty face, turning into ink and spreading out. During this process, due to the movement of tilting her head back, her beautifully curved neck and delicate collarbone were clearly displayed in front of the boy.

As the girl's bangs were untied, they became messy, and her smooth forehead was hidden among the scattered strands of hair, which further accentuated her exquisite little face and added a captivating charm to her fragile and delicate temperament.

Cheng Fei couldn't tell whether her series of actions were intentional or unconscious. He only felt that the scene of the girl letting her hair down was like the moment in mythology when a goddess reveals her true face to a mortal.

She put her arm around the boy's shoulder, lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly in the mist, glanced at the boy and then looked away, swallowed, and took a deep breath, as if forcing herself to relax.

And then once again, as if some distance had quietly vanished, a certain ethereal and inexplicable sensation, as beautiful and mysterious as cherry blossoms in early spring, descended with a deadly aura, causing the boy's breath to freeze.

"Trash, are you satisfied now?" The girl's gaze shifted to him, her voice trembling slightly, with an indescribable weakness, yet she forced a cold tone.

Cheng Fei looked at the girl in front of him and noticed that her earlobes, hidden in her hair, were stained with a deeper red than ever before. He gently smoothed her hair to cover her ears and looked into her eyes, which reflected the water. "You can leave anytime when you've had enough of soaking. This time it's for real, Shen Xi."

The girl turned her face away, took a deep breath, tucked her hair behind her ear to reveal the ear he had been covering, and then completely relaxed as if she were defiant. As if dangerous chemicals had met, she trembled violently, buried her face near his neck, and scolded him in a muffled voice, "Since it's already like this, stop talking nonsense."

"That makes sense. Okay, it's my fault." The boy thought for a moment, then felt relieved and hugged her back without any guilt, feeling the girl's pure and unreserved attachment and trust in him.

842. Things Cheng Fei didn't know about Shen Xi

Time passed by, second by second.

In the quiet atmosphere, perhaps because of the water temperature, both of them could feel each other's intense heat, as if a string was taut and any slight pull or friction would break it, to the point that they held their breath, afraid that the slightest disturbance would break the last shred of the fragile balance.

"Trash, hurry up..." Shen Xi's tone became increasingly uneasy. Where Cheng Fei couldn't see, she closed her eyes slightly as if sensing something. Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were being pointed at by a dark gun barrel and couldn't help but want to escape.

"Hurry up about what?" the boy asked, puzzled.
