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

"She also has a great personality and is very interesting."

"Really?"

"I especially like the masochistic aspect."

"Pah, I like you my foot!"

Chatting about all sorts of topics, the two left the hotel and took a taxi to their destination for the day. The driver glanced at the rearview mirror but couldn't understand the young couple's conversation. However, he could tell from their expressions and tone of voice that they were an intimate couple.

Especially since the girl was constantly gazing at the boy, sometimes coquettish and sometimes annoyed, with a smile on her lips, it was clear that she was deeply in love, making one unable to help but feel jealous of the handsome boy opposite her for having such a cute and beautiful girlfriend.

The two arrived at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a park hidden in the bustling city of Shinjuku. It was once a royal garden. Stepping through the gate felt like entering another dimension. Under the protection of lush greenery, the noise and heat of the city disappeared without a trace.

The park was quiet in the morning. The lush greenery of summer was refreshing in the garden, with various plants planted in a well-organized manner. Along the stone path that meandered along the stream, the branches and leaves gently kissed the water's surface.

The haughty girl with red eyes clung to the boy's arm. After changing her hairstyle to twin ponytails, her domineering aura dissipated considerably. Her charming face always carried a lovely smile, and her full breasts and graceful legs were even more eye-catching, making it hard to imagine that she was the high and mighty heir of the Lin family in Academy City.

"Honey, I have a question for you." Lin Xuanqi looked at her black uniform shoes and stepped forward.

"Please speak." Cheng Fei turned his gaze away from the surrounding scenery.

"Do you like treating me like that because you love me or because you hate me?" The girl looked up at him, as if trying to find something on his face.

"Xuanqi, can we change the subject?" the boy said calmly.

"Tell me the truth, and I won't blame you." The girl rolled her eyes at him.

The boy smacked his lips. "You saw through me. Actually, I was getting revenge on you."

"So, did you enjoy your revenge?" The girl's smiling face made it impossible to guess her thoughts.

"You're not angry, are you?" the boy asked, observing her with concern.

The girl gave a soft snort, tightening her grip on his arm. "If I were angry, would I still act like this with you?"

"That's true, Xuanqi, you're being way too cute right now?" The boy looked her up and down.

"Hmph, now you know how good I am, right?" The girl raised her chin, her long ponytail bouncing as she did so. She paused, then nestled against his shoulder, gazing at the winding pebble path disappearing into the deep green bushes not far away. "Honey, do you think we can stay like this forever?"

"Xuanqi, you're asking me these kinds of questions every other day now. It seems you're a little too infatuated with me," the boy sighed.

"I've always loved you, so how much do you love me?" The girl tiptoed slightly, leaning closer to the boy so their eyes met.

"I love you so much I'm practically dying of lust, and every day I'm thinking about how to kill you." The boy pinched her chin and brought his hand close to her naturally flawless little face.

The girl tilted her head back, her eyes slightly closed, and rose even higher on her tiptoes to meet her.

The gentle, warm touch lasted briefly before separating, leaving her feeling lost and longing to hook her arms around his neck and chase after him. She managed to restrain herself, pursed her lips, and looked away to calm herself. "Hmph, where did you find such a good wife like me, willing to let you kill me all day long?"

"It's not that there aren't any if you want to find them?" The boy stroked his chin, looking very serious.

"What did you say?" The girl turned around, her smile turning terrifying.

"Even if there were, the only one I want to kill is Xuanqi." The boy's expression hardened.

"That's more like it." The girl pouted, looked away for a moment, then looked at him again and said softly, "Honey, as long as you like it, I'll let you take your revenge on me for the rest of my life. Do whatever you want with me, okay?"

"Really?" The boy glanced sideways.

"As long as you don't actually kill me, everything else... is up to you." The girl swallowed, feeling something throbbing in her heart.

"I can't bear to really kill you either." The boy pinched her chin again and tasted her alluring breath.

"Honey, do you think we're... a perfect match?" Lin Xuanqi watched him leave, her heart still filled with longing.

"It's possible." The boy nodded solemnly.

“Honey, I have another question for you.” The girl looked up at him again, her expression now showing a hint of unwavering determination.

"Feel free to ask."

"Are you and Xiaoshuang... hiding something from me?" The girl stared intently at his face, her voice becoming muffled.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two stared at each other, and the entire park fell into an unexpected deathly silence.

After a moment of silence, the boy slowly spoke, "Xuanqi."

The girl stared at him, her eyes unblinking.

"You dreamt that I cheated on you again this morning?" The young man looked her up and down with an air of seriousness.

"Dream on, my foot." The girl glared at him irritably, then her expression turned complicated. After hesitating, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. "Cheng Fei, I... I'm asking you seriously today. Are you and Xiao Shuang hiding something from me?"

She held the boy's arm tightly. On his usually unpredictable face, there was no aggressive pressure, only a kind of fragile vulnerability.

Along the pebbly path in the woods, you can almost hear the gentle rustling of the breeze through the grass.

"Xuanqi, did Master Ye say something to you?" The young man cupped her face and gently stroked the corner of her delicate eye.

“Xiao Shuang didn’t say anything, but I could tell something was wrong with her.” Lin Xuanqi took a deep breath and said with certainty, “You’re definitely hiding something from me, Cheng Fei. I want to hear the truth from you.”

She thought for a moment, then looked into the boy's eyes and added softly, "No matter what the truth is, I won't blame you, I swear."

"So you weren't dreaming last time, you just wanted to ask this?" The boy seemed to have come to his senses.

Lin Xuanqi took another deep breath, her brows furrowed as she looked at him, and spoke softly in a gentle tone, "Cheng Fei, I know you used to be afraid of me, but now I've given you everything. Can you tell me the truth? I just want to be with you for the rest of my life and I don't want any barriers between us. What do you think I owe you? I can make it up to you, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's face showed the first genuine unease since the two had met. It was as if she had always been in control, but this time, she realized something she was powerless to change.

The boy thought for a moment, his eyes flickering as he looked at her, as if he was struggling with something. "Xuanqi, are you really sure you won't get angry?"

The girl seemed to sense something, bit her lip lightly, and a hint of suppressed anxiety appeared in her eyes. "I promise, I just want to know what happened."

"No matter what, you won't turn against me?" The boy asked hesitantly.

"As long as you stay with me properly from now on, even if something happens between you two... I can forgive you." The girl gripped the boy's arm tightly at first, then relaxed and sighed softly.

"Alright, since you put it that way," the boy smacked his lips.

Lin Xuanqi's gaze shifted, fixed on his face, her heart feeling as if someone were gripping it.

"Actually, it was during the Aurora cruise ship incident. Master Ye fell into the sea and choked on water, and I gave her CPR. We were afraid you'd be angry, so we discussed it and decided to keep it from you." The young man scratched his head, cautiously observing her. "You won't blame me, will you?"

The girl's pupils dilated slightly, as if she were momentarily stunned, her face filled with disbelief. "You and Xiaoshuang... kissed?"

"It's artificial respiration, not kissing," the boy said seriously.

"..." Lin Xuanqi lowered her head and fell silent.

“The situation was critical at the time, and I had no choice. I definitely didn’t mean to take advantage of Master Ye. She knows that, so you can ask her whatever you want.” The boy added quickly, as if afraid of her getting angry.

"So now, what are your thoughts on Xiaoshuang?" The girl looked up, her face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I don't have any thoughts." The boy quickly shook his head. "I've always kept my distance from Master Ye. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

Lin Xuanqi lowered her head again, her eyes flickering as she fell silent.

"Xuanqi, are you alright?" The boy leaned forward to observe her.

The girl slowly shook her head, then looked at him, her gaze tracing his face. "Only this? You're not lying to me?"

"This is really all there is, I'm absolutely not lying to you. Actually, Master Ye only found out recently, I didn't even tell her." The boy pursed his lips.

"I understand." Lin Xuanqi nodded slightly and let out a sigh of relief.

862. What Lin Xuanqi likes

In the morning at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a stream babbled along the winding pebble path, and the two gazed at each other.

"Xuanqi, are you really not angry?" The boy carefully observed the girl in front of him.

"Why should I be angry?" the girl asked him nonchalantly.

"Because..." the boy hesitated.

"Cheng Fei, do you think I'm that petty?" Lin Xuanqi tilted her head and looked at him seriously.

The boy paused for a second, then nodded slowly and firmly, "Yes."

The girl's eyelids twitched. She was so angry at him that she wanted to laugh. She gave him a light slap and said in a soft, annoyed voice, "You my foot."

"So, Xuanqi, what do you mean now?" the boy asked cautiously.

Lin Xuanqi didn't speak, but hooked her arms around his neck, tilted her head back, and lightly touched her rosy lips with her fingertips.

The boy understood immediately and leaned closer.

Lin Xuanqi deliberately stood on tiptoe, her slender legs, encased in thin black pantyhose, taut and her curves becoming even more alluring.

The stream collided at a bend in the waterway, splashing water that soaked the stones on the bank.

After a long silence, the girl opened her eyes, her expression somewhat dazed. She pursed her lips, her full breasts rising and falling slightly.

The boy seemed to be drawn to her, his gaze lingering on her face.

"Cheng Fei, I'm not angry." Lin Xuanqi pinched the boy's cheek gently, as if touching a beloved toy, and repeated, "I'm really not angry."

"Why?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Because I love you, how could I get angry at you over something like this?" The girl took his hand and pressed it against her heart, as if letting him feel her heartbeat. "Cheng Fei, don't you understand? We had a lot of misunderstandings before, but now, what have I done wrong to you? You have to believe me, believe your wife, okay?"

The girl looked at him, a smile curving her lips. Unlike her usual half-smile, her smile now carried a genuine intimacy, as if she regarded the boy in front of her as her inseparable other half.

"Xuanqi, what happened to you?" The boy stroked her cheek, gazing at her smile, which was so different from usual.

"Does your husband like me like this?" The girl's smile returned to its malicious grin.

"Of course I like it." The boy leaned closer to her again.

The girl immediately went to meet her.

A moment later, the two continued their stroll along the road.

"Cheng Fei, to be honest, I feel relieved now." Lin Xuanqi took the boy's arm.

"What do you mean?" The boy glanced at her.

"I was mentally prepared for the possibility that you and Xiaoshuang might actually have something going on." The girl's face showed lingering fear.

"Really?" the boy asked, glancing sideways.

"I had already thought it all out. Even if you really did cheat on me with Xiaoshuang, as long as you admit your mistake, I will forgive you once, as if it were repayment for what I owed you before," Lin Xuanqi said softly.

"I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous?" the boy said, somewhat surprised.

"I'm only this lenient with you," the girl scoffed. "If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't have shown any mercy."

"Should I take advantage of this opportunity and have an affair with Master Ye..." the boy muttered in a voice just loud enough for her to hear.

"You dare!" Lin Xuanqi raised her eyebrows, pinched his waist, and stared at him with a frown. "I have done right by you, and you should do right by me too."

"Just kidding," the boy chuckled.

"Go to hell." The girl rolled her eyes at him without any threat, then smiled but put on a serious face. "Let me remind you, Xiao Shuang already has feelings for you, so don't try to trick her into doing something stupid."

"Feelings for her? Do I? I feel like she often wants to punch me to death." The boy looked genuinely bewildered.

"Anyway, be careful and don't disappoint me, Cheng Fei." The girl glanced at him, her expression serious.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." The boy nodded honestly.

Lin Xuanqi gave a soft hum, seemingly losing interest in the topic, and quietly took the boy's arm and started walking.

As they passed a coffee shop in the park, the girl stopped and pointed to a shop not far away. "Honey, I want to drink coffee, I want a latte."

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy it." The boy nodded immediately.

Watching his retreating figure, Lin Xuanqi sat down at a seat outside the store, propped her chin on one hand, and stared intently at the boy talking to the shop assistant, a smile playing on her lips.

The young female shop assistant was clearly captivated by the boy, staring intently at him as she spoke, her reactions slow and unresponsive.

When the boy finished ordering and turned around with his hands in his pockets, Lin Xuanqi met his gaze and immediately gave him an affectionate smile, looking charming and lovely against the backdrop of her bouncing pigtails.

It should be... no problem.

Lin Xuanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Intuitively, she didn't think the boy was lying to her; her intuition was always very accurate.

Ye Shuang's recent unusual behavior aligns with what the boy said. She knows Ye Shuang too well. If Ye Shuang knew that she had kissed the boy, regardless of whether it was artificial respiration or not, she would definitely be distracted in front of her.

Lin Xuanqi sighed inwardly.
