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

"You scumbag, are you so proud of letting Nana bully me for you?!" The innocent girl gritted her teeth and glared at him, her face streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.

“Master Ye, how can this be called punishment? If you’re not afraid at all, then I’ll never get to eat lunch again!” The boy shrugged.

"I only did it because of Miss, I wouldn't do that every day!" The obedient girl stomped her foot.

"That won't do either. Anyway, I'll have Nana come in these situations from now on. I can't control how she treats you next time." The young man said casually.

Ye Shuang glanced at Nagasaki Asuna, a look of mixed feelings of shyness and fear flashing in her eyes.

The sweet girl prepared the food and sat down on the other side of the boy. Compared to the well-behaved girl's upright posture and keeping her distance, she lazily snuggled up to the boy, resting her head on his shoulder, and ate her eel rice. She said as if it were a matter of course, "If Shuangshuang heard this, Cheng Fei would never be able to eat lunch again."

"Nana, are you being arrogant?" The boy grabbed her face.

"If possible, Nana would like to be treated like Shuangshuang every day?" The sweet girl let herself be pulled up, her face full of innocent confusion.

"So she's not you." The boy was speechless and looked to the other side. "Master Ye, let's eat something first."

The obedient girl swallowed hard, her eyes flickering as she remained motionless. After thinking for a moment, she cautiously asked, "Is the punishment over now? You can stay with Nana, and I'll go home later."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them and then quickly looked away, his hesitant expression suggesting he was lost in thought.

"Master Ye, you think you can just run away? That won't work." The boy shook his head.

"Why?" the obedient girl asked in a panicked voice.

"Because this is also part of the punishment, you have to stay here obediently today." The boy's tone left no room for argument.

"Stay?" The obedient girl opened her mouth, her expression becoming increasingly uneasy.

Asuna Nagasaki blinked, like a cat discovering an interesting toy, and peeked out, saying, "Cheng Fei, can we fold cat figures later?"

"What do you mean, 'folding cats'?" The boy didn't understand for a moment.

"It's just folding cats, right?" The sweet girl tilted her head, looking as if she were stating some common sense.

"Folding cats?" Ye Shuang muttered to herself, first looking blank, then seemingly realizing something, she jumped in fright, a little terrified, "Nana, please stop talking nonsense!"

"That kind of thing is too advanced for Master Ye." Cheng Fei shook his head and rubbed Nagasaki Asuna's head.

"Oh, what a pity. Well, we'll save it for later." The sweet girl tapped her chin lightly with her fingertips, her regret genuine.

The obedient girl stared at the floor with a stiff expression.

"Master Ye, please eat something first, no matter what." The young man gestured for him to eat.

Ye Shuang hesitated for a second before reaching out to pick up a piece of sushi, putting it in her mouth with a blank expression, as if she was still immersed in some kind of worry.

“Master Ye, that’s not how I’m talking about eating it.” The young man looked at her again, very seriously.

"How do you eat it?" The obedient girl was stunned for a moment.

"Put it in the correct place first. Master Ye, have you forgotten about last time? This is also part of the punishment." The boy gestured.

Ye Shuang looked down at her fair, absolute territory, understood, and let out a sob, her eyes welling up with tears again.

But under the boy's gaze, she still reached out with trembling hands and arranged the sushi one by one, while making a wronged sound, her tone resigned and sad, "You scumbag, all you do is bully me."

"Oh, so Cheng Fei likes this?" Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin thoughtfully, then her eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new continent. "Nana can too!"

The boy's eyelids twitched. "Hey, I didn't ask you to come!"

"Shuangshuang can do it but Nana can't? Cheng Fei is so biased!" The sweet girl suddenly voiced her dissatisfaction.

"That's punishing her! What are you trying to do?!"

“Nana wants to be punished too! Nana can lie on the coffee table and be punished!” she said, reaching for her buttons.

"You vixen, that's enough!"

Ye Shuang was arranging sushi while shedding tears when she heard the conversation. She stopped, looked at the coffee table, and tried to imagine the scene Nagasaki Asuna described. Her pupils contracted, and she hurriedly shook her head as if trying to banish the terrifying image from her mind.

A few minutes later, Nagasaki Asuna put down the takeout box and said in a nonchalant tone, "I can't eat anymore."

"Nana, this doesn't taste good?" Ye Shuang asked, puzzled, seeing that most of the eel rice was still left.

"No, it's pretty good. My classmate Cheng Fei and I often order from here." The sweet girl shook her head, her coffee-colored sideburns swaying with her movements.

"Then why can't you eat? You're eating too little," the obedient girl couldn't help but say.

"Because we need to make room in our stomachs," Nagasaki Asuna said earnestly.

"Make room?"

"Yes, I also need to eat cat food." The sweet girl nodded.

"What is cat food?" Ye Shuang was a little desperate.

"Anyway, it's Nana's turn to start now." Nagasaki Asuna got off the sofa, looked up, and blinked her innocent and naive eyes.

The obedient girl watched her natural actions, and the chopsticks in her hand silently slipped from her grasp.

into the night.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, accompanied by a muffled conversation.

"Hey, why is Shuangshuang blocking it?"

"Nana?!"

after a while.

"Cheng Fei, is Shuangshuang delicious? Is it sweet? Do you want to try Nana? Today it's white ice cream Nana."

Some time passed.

"Shuangshuang, can you look at me? Look closely at how Nana looks right now."

"Idiot, aren't you afraid of being seen now?"

"Because Shuangshuang is also a cat, not a bad woman like Shen Xi, so it's okay."

Such ominous conversations faded into the still, quiet night outside the rented room window.

……

The next day.

As the three of them walked side by side through the gates of Yinghua in the early morning, Ye Shuang kept her head down, looking extremely nervous, as if she would be sentenced to death if she went any further.

"Shuangshuang, um, don't be nervous, isn't Lin here?" Nagasaki Asuna peeked at Cheng Fei from the other side, her bright eyes clearly reflecting her expression.

The obedient girl then looked up at the cherry blossom tree, but did not see the familiar figure. She loosened her clenched hands, as if she had been granted a pardon.

"Lin-san didn't show up today either. Could it be that her cold has gotten worse?" Nagasaki Asuna thought again.

"You care a lot?" the boy asked, pursing his lips.

"No, I was just curious." The sweet girl shook her head with her hands behind her back and gave him a well-behaved smile.

The casual conversation startled the well-behaved girl next to him, and her expression turned worried.

Perhaps Nagasaki Asuna's guess came true, because Lin Xuanqi didn't show up all morning.

At noon, Cheng Fei returned from the cafeteria and, as usual, began writing furiously.

Two figures approached.

Zhou Han, holding a workbook, looked around cautiously before sitting down in Lin Xuanqi's seat. Her round eyes blinked as she looked at the boy in front of her, "Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei."

Ruan Jingyi silently moved a chair from the nearby seat and sat down next to him, staring intently at the boy's profile.

"What's wrong?" The boy looked up at the two of them.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you for help with a question." Zhou Han smiled, looking very energetic.

"No problem." The boy nodded calmly.

“However,” Zhou Han paused, then became worried, “Is Lin Xuanqi not coming today? If she comes later, I won’t sit in her seat.”

"It's fine, we'll see if she actually comes," the boy said nonchalantly.

"Are you really okay?" Zhou Han's smile became forced. She exchanged a glance with Ruan Jingyi, as if she had gained some courage from her best friend, before placing the exercise book on the boy's desk.

“You don’t need to be afraid of her now. If any problems arise, you can tell me,” the boy said after thinking for a moment.

"Really? Will you protect us?" Zhou Han's eyes darted around, and she leaned forward slightly to get closer.

"After all, we're friends. If she does anything to you because of me, I'll definitely intervene." The boy said seriously.

“Oh, that’s right, we’re friends.” Zhou Han was even happier, smiling at him.

Ruan Jingyi, who was standing next to her, tilted her head slightly but didn't say anything.

So Zhou Han, for the first time in a long time, asked the boy to explain the problem, just like before.

"Oh, right, Cheng Fei, there's something I'm curious about. Can I ask you?" the petite girl suddenly looked up and said.

"Ask whatever you want," the boy said, writing furiously without looking up.

"What's going on between you and Lin Xuanqi? You ate instant noodles with her yesterday, could it be that you're getting back together?" Zhou Han blinked her round eyes, looking completely innocent.

"Yesterday was just an accident," the boy said, shaking his head nonchalantly.

"Alright, then you should cherish Shen Xi and Asuna, they are both very cute girls." Zhou Han gently patted the boy's head, her soft tone like a young mother guiding her child to grow in the direction she hoped for.

"I know, don't worry. In short, you don't need to worry about Lin Xuanqi. She won't threaten you like before," the young man said softly.

This caused Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi to exchange a glance.

Lin Xuanqi still did not appear in the afternoon.

Cheng Fei packed up his things and left the classroom when the bell rang for the end of the last get out of class.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair stood in the corridor, exuding a chilling aura that kept others at bay, drawing the attention of passing students.

"Teacher Shen, did you really miss me so much that you finally couldn't resist waiting for me after school? You should have been more frank about it earlier." The boy opened his arms to her.

As expected, he only received a light but not heavy blow from the spotless black uniform shoes.

"Trash, keep working on the project today." Shen Xi said coldly.

"What topic?" the boy asked in surprise.

"A test of your abilities and those of the surname Lin."

"That pointless thing still isn't over?"

"I've thought about it. Let's try a different test today. Where's the person with the surname Lin?" The girl crossed her arms and looked into the classroom behind him.

"He didn't come. I guess his cold got worse." The boy shrugged.

"Cheng Feiyu isn't even going to visit him?" The girl sneered, her words laced with sarcasm.

"That's impossible." The boy shook his head without hesitation.

"To complete the task, you must now go find her," the girl commanded coldly.

"what?"

973. The result of Lin Xuanqi's retest was...

“It just so happens that today’s topic is testing the effective range of her ability. You go to her place and we’ll video chat.” Shen Xi raised her chin, her small face showing an expression of complete entitlement.

"No, I'm not going." Cheng Fei shook his head decisively.

"Trash, are you going to disobey me?" The girl glared at him, displeased.

"Teacher Shen, can't you wait until tomorrow?" the boy asked, shrugging.

"Why wait until tomorrow?" The girl frowned slightly.

"She might be sick."

"Ha, you feel sorry for her?"

"That's why I'm not going, to avoid suspicion."

“Now that I’m sending you, there’s no need to pretend.” The girl glared at him.

"What if I go and she misunderstands or something happens? Teacher Shen, don't do anything foolish." The boy put on a serious expression.

"That's the result of your own indiscretions, Cheng Feiyu!" the girl retorted, raising her voice without backing down.
