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

"There's nothing to see here, it's a waste of time." The boy remained unmoved.

"Cheng Fei!" The girl stomped her foot, her eyes slightly red, her expression a mix of anger and helplessness.

"Master Ye, things have come to this point, and it was all destined long ago, so there's no need for this, is there?" The young man looked at the beautiful, sorrowful face with a helpless expression.

"I don't care, Miss told me to take you there, so I'm going to take you there." The girl glared at him in a muffled voice, her eyes filled with an unyielding stubbornness.

"Then I'm not going. Are you going to beat me up, Master Ye?" The boy looked at her curiously.

"You!" Ye Shuang gritted her teeth, her small fist hardening.

“I have no objection to Master Ye wanting to fight, but even if you don’t scare other people here, it’s not good to scare the flowers and plants, right?” The boy glanced at the club activity room and shrugged.

Ye Shuang stared intently at him, then loosened her fist after a moment, sniffed, her eyes reddening further, and looked at him earnestly, "Cheng Fei, please go see Miss... I'm begging you, okay?"

The boy looked at the girl with pigtails and remained silent for a second, then brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her face and sighed.

"You promised me?" Ye Shuang stared at him intently.

“Since Master Ye has said so,” the young man nodded slowly at first, then changed the subject, “but I have a small condition.”

"What are the conditions?" the obedient girl asked quickly.

"It's simple, Master Ye can't avoid me just because I broke up with her. He still needs to tutor me every week and we have dates like before. How about that?" The boy smiled nonchalantly.

"What kind of time is this to still be thinking about these things?!" Her voice trembled instantly.

"When? It's just that the planned breakup has come to fruition. Is Master Ye going to cut ties with me? We had everything planned out before, so why is he siding with her now?" Cheng Fei leaned closer to the girl to observe her.

Ye Shuang opened her mouth, then lowered her head, unable to speak. Her eyes flickered rapidly, as if she were engaged in a battle of wits.

"But I don't want to betray Miss, I don't want to see her like this..." The girl's voice was strained and trembling with tears.

"There's nothing we can do about it, isn't there? Master Ye, you should accept reality sooner rather than later. So you agreed to the conditions?" The boy peeked into her field of vision.

"You scumbag! You're just bullying me..." The girl's eyes flickered, and her tone became increasingly tearful.

"Why is this little crybaby acting up again? So, you agree to the conditions? I'll go see her with you right now." The young man gently stroked her head.

Ye Shuang's small hands wrung nervously. After a moment of silence, she hastily wiped her eyes with her sleeve, her aggrieved voice barely audible, "Okay..."

"Wait a moment." The boy turned and left.

He returned to the club activity room, stood next to his seat, and solemnly explained, "Minister, I have something to attend to and need to leave early today. Nana, could you please help me pack my things?"

Shen Xi lowered her eyes, completely ignoring him.

Asuna Nagasaki smiled and nodded.

"Brother...!" Just as the boy was about to leave, Kato Ai called out to him, met his gaze, shrank her neck slightly, and waved her small hand in a delicate voice, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Aiyi." The boy smiled and nodded, then left the room.

……

Cheng Fei took Ye Shuang with him and drove the Panamera at full speed towards South Bay.

The obedient girl in the passenger seat stood with her legs together, clutching a shoulder bag, her eyes red as she stared out the window, lost in thought.

Speechless all the way.

The silver sports car slowly drove into the secluded estate, circled the fountain with the bullfighting sculpture, and stopped in front of the palatial villa.

As soon as Cheng Fei got out of the car, he sensed something was amiss.

There were several times more men in black on guard than usual, and through his sunglasses he could feel all eyes on him. He had only felt this kind of vigilance a long time ago.

When I was first brought here.

Ye Shuang also noticed something was wrong, blinked, and a hint of unease appeared on her face.

Cheng Fei glanced at her, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward without fear.

Ye Shuang hurriedly stepped forward, as if to block the view of the men in black.

The villa gate was tightly closed. Only when the two approached did the guard in black open the door and gesture for them to enter.

Cheng Fei stepped past Ye Shuang and went in first, followed closely by the girl.

The two entered the magnificent hall, where the luxurious crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow, and huge oil paintings on the walls depicted a magnificent hunting scene. An expensive black piano stood in the corner, a scene all too familiar.

In the empty hall, there was only one person.

A haughty young woman with cascading black hair sat on the sofa. Her delicate face was naturally beautiful, and her long, rosy eyelashes framed her rosy eyes. However, her expression was blank, revealing an empty look.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Lin Xuanqi stood up and walked forward, speaking in a tone that revealed neither joy nor anger, "Xiaoshuang, come here."

Ye Shuang quickly walked over and stood properly to her side, half a body length behind, with her hands clasped and head bowed, like a loyal maid.

Cheng Fei stood still with his hands in his pockets.

Lin Xuanqi turned her gaze to him, her brows furrowed slightly with a suppressed sadness. She gritted her teeth, as if reminding herself, swallowed, and spoke in a tone as even as possible, "Cheng Fei, I came here today to ask you something."

"What?" The young man casually met her gaze.

"What is your relationship with Shen Xi?" Lin Xuanqi stared at him, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"What relationship?" The boy remained motionless.

Lin Xuanqi let out a soft breath, took out her phone without saying a word, opened the video she had seen earlier, clicked play, and held it up horizontally.

In the video, a handsome young man and woman sit side by side on a piano bench, playing a duet with their hands. The deeply moving melody captivates the onlookers.

Although Ye Shuang couldn't see the screen from the back, her heart skipped a beat the moment she heard the melody. She realized that what she had worried about most had happened. The obedient girl's eyes widened, and fear appeared on her face. She was at a loss for what to do.

Lin Xuanqi did not turn around to question her; instead, she held her phone up to face Cheng Fei, looking at the boy's face with a questioning gaze.

After the video finished playing once, Lin Xuanqi put down her phone, her hands clenching silently until her nails dug into her flesh, her trembling eyes fixed on the boy, "How do you explain this?"

"Since you've already seen it, what's there to explain?" The boy shrugged.

"So you have nothing to explain...is that right?" Lin Xuanqi's chest heaved violently, each word uttered with great force, her trembling tone sounding both angry and disappointed, releasing an invisible chill.

"Yes." The boy nodded without any guilt.

Lin Xuanqi narrowed her eyes and turned her face away, her whole body trembling almost imperceptibly. She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and spoke with a forced calmness, as if asking about a trivial matter, "When did you start doing this?"

"It has been that way from the very beginning." The boy's calm voice echoed in the silent hall.

"What do you mean by 'at first'?" Lin Xuanqi frowned, a look of confusion on her face.

"From the very beginning, I pursued you for only two reasons: one was to get revenge on you, and the other was to prove to Shen Xi that I didn't like you." The boy's tone was light.

"Proof...to show Shen Xi?" Lin Xuanqi's pupils contracted, her mouth slightly agape, a complex expression of surprise and disbelief on her face. Finally, she took a breath and let out a wry laugh. "You mean, you two conspired together from the very beginning, keeping it a secret from me?"

"More or less." The boy's tone remained unchanged, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"So you've been keeping it a secret from me all this time?" Lin Xuanqi's lips suddenly curled into a smile, her words carrying a faint chuckle, as if she had heard an amusing joke, her eyes becoming increasingly vacant.

The boy just stared at her, seemingly having lost even the interest to explain.

"Ha, you mean I was played by Shen Xi from beginning to end, and she arranged for you to get close to me?" Lin Xuanqi's smile seemed self-mocking, her brows furrowing and relaxing, her expression changing like rapidly turning pages of a book, each page reflecting a different mood.

"Cheng Fei, you've dumped me for so long..." The arrogant girl gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed, and suddenly her voice became fierce and terrifying, "How dare you?!"

The boy stared at her expressionlessly, as if watching a boring movie.

Behind Lin Xuanqi, Ye Shuang clutched her chest, looking flustered. Her mouth was slightly open as if she was desperately trying to interject and explain something, but in the end, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Cheng Fei! I've given you so much, you eat my food, wear my clothes, use my things, I'm the one who turned you from a poor student working part-time at a milk tea shop into a fund manager at Lin's, and this is how you treat me?!" The arrogant girl couldn't take it anymore and shouted through gritted teeth at the boy.

"So I should thank you?" The young man stared at her coldly, his tone icy. "Unfortunately, without Shen Xi, I would have been killed by you. You were the one who tortured me at will, and you were the one who deliberately forbade me from associating with others. In the end, you just forced me to stay to satisfy your own selfish desires. You don't need to turn around and act like you have good intentions to blame me."

Lin Xuanqi's pupils trembled, as if pierced by something. She shuddered, her momentum waning. "But I've already..."

"What have you already done?" The boy looked at her, his gaze like a sharp knife. "You already know you were wrong, and you're willing to make it up to me and be with me properly, so I should accept your kindness and pretend that what happened back then never happened? Lin Xuanqi, you really only care about yourself."

"No!" the haughty girl cried out without thinking, her eyes red as she looked at the boy. "How could I only have myself in my heart? Is it wrong for me to want to make it up to you? Can't you give me a chance?!"

"I have no obligation to give you any chances. Let's consider this a clean break, and that's the best ending for us. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. If you know what's good for you, then this is the end." The young man looked into her trembling eyes and spoke coldly, as if issuing a notice.

"Why?! So you like Shen Xi that much?! What's so great about her?! What's so great about her?!" The arrogant girl was almost frantic, screaming as she questioned, "Will she treat you better than I do?! What can she give you?!"

“She was good from the beginning.” The boy said softly, as if sensing something. “You’re not as good as her.”

As the words fell lightly, Lin Xuanqi's shocked expression froze.

Tears silently slid down the proud girl's cheeks. She wiped her eyes, choked back a sob, and suddenly turned around, extending her hand. Her tone was commanding, "Xiao Shuang, give me the gun."

Ye Shuang froze for a moment, then, as if realizing something terrifying, hurriedly shook her head vigorously, "Miss, no!"

"Give it to me." Lin Xuanqi said through tears, her tone unusually calm.

887. Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi are completely even.

"Miss, no!" Ye Shuang took a half step back, her expression becoming extremely uneasy.

"I'll let you give it to me." Lin Xuanqi's chin was adorned with glistening tears, her calm tone leaving no room for argument.

"It really won't work!" The well-behaved girl panicked even more, clutching a certain part of her school uniform skirt, shaking her head repeatedly, her voice trembling with tears, "Miss, I beg you, please talk things out."

Lin Xuanqi stared at her, as if she understood something, and smiled through her tears, "Xiaoshuang, so even you don't listen to me anymore?"

"I didn't..." Ye Shuang shrank back, a guilty look on her face.

"Then give me the gun." Lin Xuanqi kept her hand outstretched, and they made eye contact.

After a brief but long eye contact, Ye Shuang finally bit her lip, lowered her head, and tremblingly reached her hand under her skirt.

She pulled out a pistol and slowly handed it to the arrogant girl.

Cheng Fei remained standing with his hands in his pockets, watching the scene as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xuanqi, gun in hand, strode toward the boy, tears streaming down her face as she cocked the gun, pointed it at his forehead, and said in a trembling voice, "Cheng Fei, I'm giving you a chance. Cut ties with Shen Xi and be with me properly, and I'll pretend the breakup never happened."

The boy looked at the dark muzzle of the gun without fear, and smiled, "What else?"

"Otherwise, you'll disappear from this world." Lin Xuanqi gritted her teeth, a fierce look appearing on her face.

"Do you think you can kill me?" the boy asked casually.

The girl's eyes flickered, but she still pointed the gun at him, her eyes brimming with tears, her pale lips tightly pressed together.

Cheng Fei looked at her for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, Lin Xuanqi, I'm giving you another chance. If you feel that I've wronged you, then just pretend that Shen Xi never saved me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy turned his back to her, still with his hands in his pockets. "I can't react like this. Go ahead and shoot."

The haughty girl, still holding the gun in one hand, stared at his back as her vision gradually blurred with tears welling up in her eyes.

Ye Shuang stood behind the two of them, watching this scene, and slowly tightened her small hand covering her heart.

Lin Xuanqi swallowed silently, her index finger on the trigger tightened and then loosened, her arm holding the gun trembling.

Time passed by, second by second.

"Cheng Fei, you have no idea how much I love you!" The arrogant girl suddenly cried out, a resolute glint in her eyes. She abruptly turned the gun and pressed it hard against her temple, large tears falling from her chin.

The boy turned to look at her, still unmoved. "What do you want now?"

"Do I have to pay for it with my life before you'll forgive what happened back then?!" Lin Xuanqi's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was hoarse.

"Okay, then you make it up to me first." The boy nodded nonchalantly, as if he were watching a play.

"Cheng Fei, you'll regret this!" The girl's pupils trembled, and her face grew even paler.

"What's the point? Do you dare?" the boy laughed nonchalantly.

"Cheng Fei, you'll regret this." The girl choked back tears, her whole body trembling violently.

The boy turned cold, slowly backing away to create some distance between himself and her. "Don't think I'll save you."

Lin Xuanqi froze for a moment, then took a deep breath. "Cheng Fei, wouldn't you be sad if I died?"

"You should really die first," the boy said, shrugging as he looked at her.

"Can't we just be together?" The girl's voice became weak.

"You're pointing a gun at yourself to force me to forgive you, Lin Xuanqi? You don't need to deceive yourself like this, do you?" The boy shrugged.

"Cheng Fei, if I really shot, will you forgive me?" A deep, indescribable sorrow appeared on the girl's face. "Will you miss me after this?"

"Forget about the self-inflicted injury ploy, it's really boring." The boy shook his head, seemingly losing interest, and turned to leave.
