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

"Nana, please take care of me these next few days. Also, please add two dishes for me, thank you." The boy nodded seriously to her and quickly moved towards the bedroom at the end of the corridor with his luggage.

"Okay?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked, then looked to her side.

The aloof young woman, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, narrowed her eyes, her face showing extreme displeasure.

When Cheng Fei came out after putting his things in Shen Xi's room, the two of them were already seated at the dining table, where hot food was laid out and an enticing aroma filled the air.

The boy sat down in his assigned spot, picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, and sighed comfortably, "Then I won't be polite."

As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of the two who remained motionless, he scooped up some food with a spoon and poured it over the rice, then began to shovel it into his mouth.

"Teacher Shen, did you make this scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Your skills are getting better and better. From now on, I'll call you the Queen of Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes." The boy chewed and swallowed, then exclaimed in admiration.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth and gave him a hard blow under the table. "Where did this rat come from, climbing onto the table to steal food?"

"So why did Cheng Fei suddenly come here, and with luggage?" Nagasaki Asuna picked up her bowl, took a small bite of rice, and put it in her mouth.

"Teacher Shen asked me to come, saying I should stay for a few days to observe my condition," the boy said nonchalantly.

"I see." Nagasaki Asuna nodded, then pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "So, Cheng Fei will be sleeping in Shen Xi's room tonight?"

The aloof young woman sitting upright let out a cold laugh, "You vixen, if you want him to sleep over at your place, you can just say so directly. It's good that I don't have to bother."

"Is that okay? That's great! Then Cheng Fei can sleep in Nana's bed, okay? Nana will use her ability to carefully observe Cheng Fei in the morning," Nagasaki Asuna said happily.

The next second, the sweet girl shivered without warning, turned her head, and met the cold girl's sharp and piercing gaze. The happiness on her face disappeared, and she silently put a mouthful of rice into her mouth. "Maybe we should discuss it again."

"Teacher Shen, please eat while it's hot, don't be shy." The boy on the other side served food to the aloof girl with great enthusiasm.

Shen Xi took a deep breath before picking up her bowl to eat.

After a moment, the aloof girl raised her chin and spoke coldly, "To observe Cheng Feiyu's condition, the fox spirit's abilities are indispensable."

"So, what are Teacher Shen's plans?" The boy immediately looked at her, adopting an attentive listening posture.

“But it’s impossible to put Cheng Feiyu and the fox spirit in a cage alone overnight, otherwise we definitely won’t be able to observe anything.” Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, looking as if she had foreseen something.

Asuna Nagasaki sipped her chopsticks, her eyes darting around, her fingertips nervously twirling the ends of her hair.

"Teacher Shen makes a good point. What should we do then?" The boy nodded formally.

Shen Xi sighed softly, a look of headache and helplessness on her face. "There's no other way, I'll have to supervise, so the three of us will sleep together for the next few days."

"What Teacher Shen said is very insightful." The boy glanced sideways without changing his expression.

"Sleep together for several days in a row?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened slightly, as if she had thought of something bad. She pursed her lips and turned her face away imperceptibly. "Actually, thinking about it carefully, Nana's stupidity is not very useful. It's better to leave it to Teacher Shen alone."

"What's the vixen afraid of over there? Just make sure you understand that you're sleeping together so you can easily observe Cheng Feiyu's condition in the morning. Nobody here is trying to force you to do anything." Shen Xi glared at her, a hint of exasperation at her lack of self-control.

"Really?" Nagasaki Asuna asked cautiously.

"I understand. So it's just a normal night sleeping together. It's not a date or a meeting, so don't worry, Nana." The boy breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite serious, and gave the other person a reassuring look.

"Okay, Nana understands." The sweet girl nodded obediently.

"Cheng Feiyu, stop pretending. I'm warning you, I called you here these past few days just to help monitor your condition. This isn't a routine meeting or a date. If you dare do anything unnecessary, don't blame me for being impolite." Shen Xi kicked the boy under the table again.

"Teacher Shen, you didn't rehearse this line in your head before, so you still want to say it again after I told you?" The boy observed her with great interest.

"Since we have some time now, let's talk about the Lin guy's test results today." The girl was expressionless, as if she couldn't hear him.

"Was the afternoon's clearing up really due to Lin's abilities? It feels so unreal," Nagasaki Asuna sighed softly.

"It's impossible to be certain at the moment. One accident doesn't prove anything. We need to conduct multiple tests to obtain sufficient confidence," Shen Xi said thoughtfully in a cold voice.

"So, Cheng Fei is going to continue dating Lin? Is that really okay?" Nagasaki Asuna asked, her expression subtle as she cast a probing glance at the person opposite her.

"I've already emphasized that point. There's nothing I can do if Teacher Shen insists on doing things his own way." The boy shrugged, speaking in a tone that suggested it was none of his business.

"Say it again?" Shen Xi kicked him, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Your Majesty the Empress's prioritization of this project demonstrates your foresight. Your subordinate will certainly do your utmost to cooperate and complete the test." The boy bowed his head in a second.

"But in that case, Lin-kun should be quite happy?" Nagasaki Asuna muttered again.

Shen Xi responded with a cold, ambiguous laugh.

"Teacher Shen, Lin Xuanqi started asking around this afternoon whether we really found aliens. What are we going to do now?" the boy asked seriously.

"What do you mean, what should we do?" The aloof girl glanced at him.

"What if one day she finds out that you, her cousin, are an alien?" The boy shrugged.

"How did she find out if Cheng Feiyu refused to admit it? He was the best at keeping secrets from me, so why couldn't he keep them from her?" Shen Xi put down her chopsticks and stared at him.

"Not at all, I'm best at denying things to the death." The boy said without a hint of guilt.

"Then stop talking nonsense." The aloof girl continued eating.

The boy hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Nagasaki Asuna looked back and forth between the two, and sighed softly, "Shen Xi is really something."

After dinner, the aloof girl immediately asked Cheng Fei to log on. The boy had nothing to say, so he could only continue to repair the warp function of the research station with her. Nagasaki Asuna was also involved in the operation.

As night deepened, the three of them finished washing up, changed into their pajamas, and sat side by side against the headboard of Shen Xi's bed.

"You two, I love you." The boy in the middle casually opened his arms and put his hands on the shoulders of both of them.

"Hehehe, it feels like the three of us could be happy together for a lifetime?" Nagasaki Asuna obediently rested her head on his shoulder.

The aloof girl on the other side remained unmoved, her small face expressionless. "Cheng Fei, today is neither a routine meeting nor a date."

"I was wrong." The boy obediently stopped, then slid down and shrank under the covers. "Nana, could you please turn off the light next to me?"

"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna responded softly, pressing the switch near the bedside table with a soft click.

The room was plunged into darkness.

A rustling sound arose, and Shen Xi silently lay down on her pillow, followed by Nagasaki Asuna.

Despite the spacious bed, it still felt a bit cramped when the three of them kept their distance, as if they could clearly feel each other's body temperature under the covers.

"Teacher Shen, when was the last time we slept normally like this?" the boy in the middle asked, looking at the ceiling.

There was no response.

"When?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

"It was probably around the time we first met. Ms. Shen was frightened by Xiao Yi in the middle of the night. When I came to protect her, I was asked to sleep in the bed, but to keep my distance from her."

"Hey, Shen Xi was like this at the beginning? Unlike Nana, who slept with Cheng Fei the first time." The sweet girl said with no small amount of pride.

"If you two lowly creatures spout any more nonsense, you'd better go to bed on the ground." A cold, unforgiving voice rang out.

The room fell silent.

Inside the blanket, the boy felt his palms being held by a pair of soft little hands, gently guiding them to cover certain full curves.

"You vixen, you dare to pull some tricks over there and I caught you. Just wait until the next meeting, and I'll show you what regret is."

As the cold words fell, the boy's palm was pushed away with a feeling of reluctance and placed back in its original position.

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning.

Cheng Fei opened his eyes and saw the familiar little doll sitting on Shen Xi's bookshelf, looking down at him expressionlessly.

"I have a question for you to ask." The boy tried to communicate with her as usual.

"Can you become something else, like Nagasaki Asuna?"

"Or are you just going to keep looking like Shen Xi?"

"Why her? Because she's the Protoss Queen?"

"What is your relationship with failed projects?"

"Are you a Protoss Apostle or something else?"

"Shall we exchange?"

When the boy asked a question out of boredom, invisible words suddenly appeared above the little doll's head.

997. Lin Xuanqi used a weather weapon.

Cheng Fei stared wide-eyed at the little doll; this time, the boy could see it clearly.

"Shall we exchange?"

These words appeared above the little doll's head, like a dialogue box for a game character.

"What should we exchange?" the boy hesitated for a moment.

Although he knew that what he said here would be heard outside, he didn't have a good solution.

「答案」

The little doll remained expressionless and motionless, while the speech bubble above its head changed.

The boy pondered for a second, guessing that she was referring to the answer to his question earlier.

"What will you exchange it for?" the boy asked calmly.

The speech bubble above the little doll's head disappeared, and it now looked down at him from above.

"You vixen, do you sense anything? Who is he talking to...?"

"I can't feel anything special, it really feels like it was just dreaming..."

Indistinct conversations came from beside the boy's ears.

Cheng Fei suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, with two girls kneeling on either side of him. Shen Xi was pointing her phone at him, seemingly recording a video, while Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, looking as if she was trying to sense something.

The boy blinked, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Good morning, you two."

"Good morning, Cheng Fei?" Nagasaki Asuna leaned forward to look at him. "Did the petite Shen Xi just talk to Cheng Fei?"

"The petite Shen Xi?" The young man was taken aback.

"What did Cheng Feiyu mean by 'exchange' just now?" Shen Xi peeked into his field of vision, her brows furrowed as she stared at him.

The boy opened his mouth, about to answer truthfully, but suddenly changed his mind.

I felt that it would be better for him not to reveal everything rashly before he had a clear understanding of the situation.

Thinking this, the boy rubbed his temples and sighed with a headache. "It's nothing, I was just testing her."

The aloof girl narrowed her eyes, staring at him without saying a word.

"By the way, Nana, it's still early, isn't it?" The boy casually glanced to the other side.

"It's not even six o'clock yet?" the sweet girl replied obediently.

"You two have worked hard observing my condition early in the morning. Since that's the case, I suggest we sleep for another half hour, in the form of leaning against me. Although it's neither a regular meeting nor a date, it's just a little time in the morning, and we definitely won't do anything unnecessary. What do you think, Teacher Shen?" The boy opened his arms and smiled.

"Eh, really?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened slightly as she lay down eagerly, resting her head on the boy's shoulder and closing her eyes slightly. "So comfortable, hehehe~"

Shen Xi's eyelids twitched, and she spoke softly, "Cheng Fei."

"Teacher Shen, come on, you must have been holding back all night. It's only half an hour, be a little kinder to yourself sometimes." The boy gestured to her with his arm.

The girl's face turned cold, and she took a deep breath, "You..."

"Me?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Rubbish!"

As the displeased words fell, she leaned back to maintain her balance, and her small, soft body launched a merciless blow to his face.

"Teacher Shen, why did you suddenly hit someone?!"

"I know it in my heart!"

"But kicking me in the face like that will only make me more and more obsessed with you!"

"As expected, the ungrateful Cheng Feiyu doesn't deserve any sympathy at all, die!!!" Suddenly gritting her teeth, the petite and soft creature launched a relentless and continuous attack on him.

"Teacher Shen, uh...you uh...!" The boy's words were abruptly interrupted.

"Cheng Fei?!" Nagasaki Asuna exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.
