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

Shen Xi had just taken a sip of water when her brows furrowed and her face showed undisguised disgust. "You vixen, are you crazy? Don't think everyone is as shameless as you."

"Hey, you've already done something like this, and you still say I'm shameless? Teacher Shen, really?" Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip, glanced at the other's small feet, and her tone was neither complaining nor coquettish.

"Get this straight: I was only forced into this situation to satisfy Cheng Feiyu's filthy fantasies. Don't assume I'm like you." The aloof girl glared at her fiercely, displaying an attitude of extreme hatred and a clear demarcation.

"Yes, yes, Shen Xi is pure and innocent. Even if she did the same thing now, she would still be different from a shameless vixen like me." Nagasaki Asuna nodded nonchalantly.

"Nana, don't expose her." Cheng Fei made a shushing gesture.

Then, as expected, I was subjected to a piercing gaze.

……

The following day, daily life on campus continued.

Lin Xuanqi did not appear as usual, and her seat remained empty.

During lunch break, Chen Hao rushed back from outside, bowed ninety degrees to the boy who was writing furiously in the corner of the classroom, and said loudly, "I misunderstood you yesterday, kid, I'm sorry!"

Cheng Fei looked up at him, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"I never imagined that you were coerced into being with Lin Xuanqi, and that you've been enduring her bullying all this time, abusing her power and influence." The guy with the pompadour clenched his fist, his face full of heartache. "And yet you still act so nonchalant every day under these circumstances. I admit you're a real man!"

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback.

Du Xinhua, who was following behind, sat down next to him and smiled, "The rumors about you have been updated. Now everyone's opinion of you has changed again. You don't know that, do you?"

"Is that so?" The boy raised an eyebrow, feeling even more despair at the students' boredom.

"Hmph, now you know how hard Cheng Fei worked before, right?" Zhou Han, who had taken the empty seat in front of the boy, raised her chin and covered her mouth to lower her voice, "Let me tell you, Lin Xuanqi is terrifying in private."

“Even in private, she looks quite intimidating,” Du Xinhua nodded, as if she knew it well.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Cheng Fei shook his head, deciding not to participate in the conversation.

"By the way, how's your health? Have you been to the hospital for a checkup? Don't let it become a chronic condition." Chen Hao suddenly bent down, pried open his eyelids with his hands, and leaned closer to examine him.

"Check what?" the boy asked suspiciously.

"I've heard about it. Lin Xuanqi likes to step on you with her shoes... It really feels too perverted for this to happen in real life, even if she's a beautiful girl." Chen Hao crossed his arms and shivered.

The boy paused for a second, then frowned in confusion. "What rumors have you heard?"

"Anyway, you have to be strong. The past is the past." Chen Hao patted his shoulder with a look of pity, without listening to his explanation at all.

Cheng Fei took a second to think about the matter, then cast a suspicious glance at Zhou Han in front of him.

The petite girl cleared her throat, her round eyes subtly looking away.

In any case, public opinion about the boy did indeed reverse within a single day.

So much so that when he went to the club activity room after school, he was stopped by a strange girl.

“Cheng Fei, I’ve heard about what happened to you. If you’re sad, come to my house. I can… be your mother.”

Although he wasn't sure what the girl meant by "being a mother," the boy suspected from her suppressed excitement as if she were looking at her prey that she was one of the real niche enthusiasts, so he quickly declined and ran away.

"I knew Lin Xuanqi had ulterior motives for dating him..."

"He's still a child. Puppies are meant to be pampered, not abused. Lin Xuanqi is a psychopath..."

"I feel so sorry for him, I really want to hug him and call him baby. I will definitely be a good owner..."

Such bizarre discussions abounded along the way, allowing people to glean some clues about the rumors.

When Cheng Fei entered the club activity room, two familiar figures were sitting on steel pipe chairs.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Shen, Nana." The boy sat down next to them.

"Good afternoon, Cheng Fei. Um, I've heard the rumors outside. If you need Nana's services, you can just say so, okay?" Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands, intentionally or unintentionally puffed out her chest, and revealed her signature gentle and healing smile.

"No need for now, thank you." The boy didn't look at him.

“Now all those shameless girls want to be your mother, it’s really something to celebrate, Cheng Fei.” Shen Xi lowered her eyes and sneered. “Why don’t you hurry up and choose one? Being their obedient baby will definitely make you a lot of money easily.”

"Not at all. If I had to choose, the best mother in my mind, besides Nana, would be the gentle and tolerant Ms. Shen. In fact, Ms. Shen has always been like a strict yet caring mother to me." The boy looked her over seriously.

The aloof girl, who was engrossed in her book, suddenly shivered violently. She looked up at him, her icy face revealing an extreme level of vigilance. She closed the book, grabbed the armrest of the steel chair, and slowly moved away from him, as if she had encountered a large, extremely dangerous beast in the wild.

"Does Teacher Shen really not want to be my mother?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"Wake up, Cheng Fei. It's impossible for me to be your master, teacher, mother, and venting target all at the same time." The chilling look on the aloof girl's face was heavier than ever before.

Asuna Nagasaki watched this scene with amusement.

……

The club activity has ended.

Shen Xi ultimately refused to become the boy's mother, and he had no choice but to go home disappointed.

A few days later, the peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival holiday arrived.

Cheng Fei's life was unaffected by his breakup with Lin Xuanqi, as if it had never happened. Perhaps she had accepted reality and let it go.

He still shuttles between his rented apartment, school, and company, occasionally spending time with two girls in a high-end apartment across the street. Although he has more freedom now, things haven't changed much compared to before.

The most urgent task is still to manage Real Technology well. We cannot become complacent just because we are no longer under the pressure of Lin Xuanqi. As a realist, the young man has a clear understanding of this.

Until the new week arrives.

It was late at night when Cheng Fei finished washing up and prepared to go to sleep.

My phone, which was in Do Not Disturb mode, suddenly rang.

The boy thought it was another internet-addicted girl calling him online, so he picked up his phone and found that the caller was Ye Shuang.

"Good morning, Master Ye." The boy answered the phone.

"Cheng Fei, are you home?" A familiar, clear voice came from the other end of the line, with a hint of hesitation in its tone.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Could you come out for a moment? We're in this little park nearby," the girl whispered.

There is indeed a small park across Guang'an Street.

"You guys?" the boy asked nonchalantly.

"Miss and I, she wants to see you, please come quickly."

"Tell her I'm not interested, goodnight, Master Ye." The young man didn't hesitate to hang up the phone.

"Cheng Fei!" The obedient girl on the other end raised her voice, her trembling tone neither pleading nor anything else, but rather pitiful, "Come over here quickly, at least let me see Miss, okay?"

The boy paused for a second, then sighed, "Alright, for Master Ye's sake."

He casually threw on a coat and left the rented room.

As October arrives in Academy City, the nights are already starting to feel a bit chilly.

Cheng Fei quickly arrived at the small park across the road.

There are some fitness facilities here, which are bustling during the day, but now it's quiet. The bright streetlights can't dispel the darkness, leaving indistinct shadows among the roadside trees and flower beds.

A convoy of black luxury cars was parked quietly by the roadside, with men in black standing guard around them, indicating that the guests in the small park were of extraordinary status.

Cheng Fei walked in with his hands in his pockets.

Only two figures were visible in the open space of the small park: Lin Xuanqi sat on a bench, while Ye Shuang stood guard beside her.

Upon seeing the boy appear, the haughty girl with cascading black hair on the bench stood up abruptly and strode over to him. She seemed to instinctively want to get closer, but then realized that their relationship was no longer what it used to be, so she had to suppress her impulse.

Lin Xuanqi looked at the young man, a cautious expression she had never shown before. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly, "Cheng Fei, how have you been these past few days? I can't add you on WeChat, and I can't get through to you on the phone..."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's hurry up, it's late at night." The boy looked at her expressionlessly.

Ye Shuang stood a little distance away from the two of them, biting her lip lightly, her small hands twisting together, her face showing a worried expression.

"Cheng Fei...you really don't want to be with me anymore?" Lin Xuanqi was interrupted and fell silent for a moment. She walked slightly closer to the boy and looked at him with a slight frown.

"There's no need to repeat what's already been said clearly, is there?" The boy remained motionless.

"You really have absolutely no interest in me anymore? Just because I bullied you before." Lin Xuanqi's gaze shifted, glancing at the empty surroundings except for Ye Shuang. She took a deep breath, hands behind her back, and stood on tiptoe, her rosy lips parting slightly. "Even if you hate me, don't you still quite like my body? That means you actually love me quite a bit, doesn't it..."

"What does physical attraction have to do with love?" the boy asked casually.

Lin Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that she seemed to have said the same thing to the boy before.

"But, but..." Lin Xuanqi panicked for a moment, burying her head to straighten her skirt, and whispered, "Didn't you say before that from the first moment you saw me at the opening ceremony, you wanted to... tear my pantyhose? Don't you want to anymore?"

The girl wore the Sakura school uniform, her legs encased in thin black pantyhose beneath the skirt, exuding an alluring, milky chocolate-like quality even in the night. Her curves were exquisite, and she gazed at the boy, her eyes hinting at his complete submissiveness.

Cheng Fei sighed, "Lin Xuanqi, let me tell you something. Last year I was so busy working that I didn't even attend the opening ceremony."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xuanqi's pupils contracted, her mouth slightly open, unable to speak, her expression becoming one of disbelief.

Ye Shuang covered her chest with her slender hand, her uneasy expression as if she were being hurt in place of the proud young girl.

"Miss Lin, there's really no need for this. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Goodnight." The young man shook his head and turned to leave.

Lin Xuanqi stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, watching the other person's back recede into the distance. Suddenly snapping out of her daze, she desperately chased after them.

"Cheng Fei, don't go!" The girl's voice was anxious. She rushed forward and grabbed the boy's hand, like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline. Without thinking, her legs went weak and she knelt down, her delicate, rounded knees, covered in black pantyhose, touching the rough ground.

"I've thought a lot these past few days, and I've reflected on everything I've done in the past!" The girl's voice trembled with tears, as if she were desperately trying to prove something. She pressed her face against his palm as if in repentance, speaking rapidly, "Back then, I was wrong to bully you like that. I regret it now and really want to be with you properly. I thought giving you money was enough before, but I was wrong. You must be very angry, right? I want to make it up to you. I've been going along with your wishes a lot since then. You can say whatever you want in the future, and I'll change. I really can't live without you and I don't want to break up with you...!"

885. When Ye Shuang was uneasy and worried

In a small park on a corner of Guang'an Street, a cool breeze swept in from the depths of the night, rustling the leaves and slipping into one's collar, bringing a chill.

The three figures on the open ground resembled some kind of strange sculpture with an enigmatic meaning.

"Cheng Fei, I'm serious. I'm sorry, please forgive me?" The arrogant girl with red eyes knelt down and looked up at the boy, grabbing his hand tightly, her trembling voice pleading.

Ye Shuang stared blankly at the scene, then lowered her head, unable to bear to look.

She had never seen Lin Xuanqi like this before.

The boy turned around, looking down at the arrogant girl who had become completely different from a year ago. His expression remained blank, and his indifferent tone conveyed neither pity nor anything else: "Lin Xuanqi, why bother?"

The girl met his gaze, panicked for a moment, and gripped his hand even tighter. "Cheng Fei, aren't we a match made in heaven? I really want to be with you forever, I..."

“We’re over. You should at least be aware of that, right?” the boy interrupted her, withdrawing his hand.

The girl stared wide-eyed, desperately trying to grab the other person, but was easily shaken off due to the disparity in strength.

"No one here is your perfect match. Don't impose your expectations on others." The boy glanced at her one last time. "That's it. Don't come looking for me again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked forward.

Lin Xuanqi remained kneeling, watching him walk away step by step, her eyes trembling, her hands falling limply to her sides.

Ye Shuang stood to the side, biting her lip tightly, her hands twisted together until her knuckles turned white, as if she were the one who had done something wrong.

In the cold night, the atmosphere in the small park fell into a deathly silence.

……

The next day.

During lunch break, Cheng Fei returned to the classroom from outside.

Scattered students gathered together to rest and chat, giving him their respectful stares.

The boy went to the back of the classroom and opened his own bookshelf to get something.

As the cabinet door opened, an outrageous number of envelopes, almost overflowing the entire cabinet, gushed out like a burst dam, scattering colorful ones all over the floor.

Not far away, Chen Hao watched this scene, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, "I take back my previous sympathy for him, that kid deserves to die!"

“Even if these girls don’t write him love letters, they won’t go after other girls, so just relax,” Du Xinhua said, patting his shoulder as if she were an outsider.

On the other side, the boy standing in front of the bookshelf paused for a second before sighing helplessly and squatting down to pick up the love letters.

"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, let me help you." Zhou Han jogged over, as energetic as ever.

Soon, the two of them finished collecting and stacking the love letters that were destined to be thrown away.

Cheng Fei returned to his seat and, as usual, began to write furiously.

Zhou Han pulled Ruan Jingyi along, bringing her workbook to occupy the empty seat in front of him, and asked him for help with the questions.
