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

"Because." The girl bit her lip lightly, her face full of conflict.

"Because?" the boy asked, looking at her.

"Miss will be here soon, what if she sees me like this?" The obedient girl clutched the hem of her pink pleated skirt, her voice strained.

The boy understood, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "So what if I saw it? You have to have tutoring today too. How long has it been since you had proper tutoring? If you keep this up, your grades will drop, Ye Xiaoshuang."

"My grades haven't dropped." The well-behaved girl was getting a little anxious.

"Don't even think about running away if you're not going to slip. Just stay put." The boy said irritably.

Letting her stay is the best way to prevent Lin Xuanqi from causing trouble on her own.

The obedient girl froze for a moment, then her expression turned to despair. "You scumbag, all you do is bully me."

Regardless, Ye Shuang obeyed the boy's orders and stayed.

When it got light, the two went downstairs to the breakfast shop.

Ye Shuang sipped her white porridge with a feeling of being tortured, glancing outside the shop every now and then, her expression uneasy.

Across from him, Cheng Fei was finishing his soy milk and fried dough sticks while sending a message to his tea ceremony teacher via WeChat.

"Nana, has Teacher Shen returned yet?"

"No"

"Did he/she send you a message?"

"No."

"All right"

"Didn't Cheng Fei find her yesterday?"

"without"

"Could it be in a place we've been to before?"

"We've looked for everyone we needed to."

"Leaving no clues at all, that's really Shen Xi's style."

"Hmm, unlike you, at least you'd leave a letter."

"Cheng Fei even mocked the cat; I should have known better than to keep it."

It's as if you can see that sweet girl puffing out one cheek, pretending to be annoyed.

"Sorry, I was just kidding."

"So, it seems Shen Xi really doesn't want to see Cheng Fei?"

"I think so too."

"I have absolutely no idea what she's planning to do. What are your plans, Cheng Fei?"

"I can't think of a good solution. I'll look for another one this afternoon."

"afternoon?"

"Lin Xuanqi is coming for tutoring this morning."

"Um, Nana has a question."

"What"

"If Shen Xi insists, will Cheng Fei take back his confession from that day?"

The boy looked at the screen but did not reply immediately.

"Cheng Fei..."

Another message popped up from the other end.

"Idiot, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Huh, not yet?"

"I'm ordering you to come down and have breakfast. We'll have tutoring together later."

"Okay, the cat's coming right away!"

Not long after the boy put down his phone, Nagasaki Asuna strode into the breakfast shop, wearing her Sakura school uniform with a pink cardigan over it, her shapely and slender legs encased in black over-the-knee socks.

"Nana, what brings you here?" Ye Shuang looked up, stunned for a second.

"Good morning, Cheng Fei and Shuangshuang." The sweet girl sat down with a smile.

"Master Ye, she'll be having tutoring with us later." The boy said casually, pinching Nagasaki Asuna's soft cheek and pushing the mung bean porridge he had ordered for her towards her.

Ye Shuang frowned slightly and opened her mouth.

"Shuangshuang, Cheng Fei is worried that I'll die alone, so he called me here to keep an eye on things." The sweet girl nodded with certainty.

"Die? Why?" The obedient girl was even more confused.

"No matter what, there's no way you can take back your confession, you idiot." Cheng Fei sighed softly. "At least not in the short term."

“It’s okay to take it back. As long as the cat has its owner’s love, it doesn’t care what others think.” Nagasaki Asuna shook her head nonchalantly.

"Don't give me that crap, you're just being smug after getting a good deal." The boy pointed at her, annoyed.

"Does Cheng Fei mean I'm too scheming, and that I might as well just die?" The sweet girl turned her face away deliberately, puffing out one cheek.

The next second, her head was pinched and tapped lightly, and she covered her head, whimpering like a cat.

Ye Shuang looked left and right, then understood, her expression becoming complicated. "It would be too strange to just publicly confess to Nana and then immediately change it to confessing to Shen Xi instead."

"That makes sense." Cheng Fei patted her head lightly, making the obedient girl lower her head guiltily.

“Shen Xi must have understood this to hide, right? Even if she guessed that Cheng Fei was mentally unstable, the fact is that it can’t be undone. She was really looking forward to it,” Nagasaki Asuna said thoughtfully.

The boy looked the two of them back and forth, somewhat helplessly, "You two really do share information?"

It was Ye Shuang who told her about the "mental breakdown" claim.

"Because Nana and Shuangshuang are best friends with cats." The sweet girl suddenly leaned over and hugged the well-behaved girl next to her, not without pride.

"Nana, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shuang protested in a flustered manner, her words being ignored as a matter of course.

"Even so, I was serious when I confessed to you. I absolutely didn't mean to lie to you. Please don't go back and be sad alone again." The boy said seriously, staring at the sweet girl.

If it weren't for Shen Xi, he probably would have used that same line to confess to Nagasaki Asuna. Although he didn't want to admit it, the petite Shen Xi was practically a mind reader to him.

Nagasaki Asuna stared at the boy, stunned, tilting her head as if observing him, before breaking into a happy smile. Her bright eyes curved into two crescent moons as she drawled out, "I understand~"

"Cheng Fei's experience in raising cats is getting richer and richer. Nana hasn't even realized it yet, and she's already been given a heads-up." The sweet girl rested her chin on her hands, staring at the boy, unable to take her eyes off him.

The boy shook his head, too lazy to pay her any attention.

"Xiaoshuang, Asuna, you're here too?" A familiar voice came from beside the three of them.

Suddenly, a line of eye-catching black luxury cars pulled up in front of the breakfast shop. A haughty young woman with cascading black hair walked in, dressed in her usual attire, a hint of hesitation on her charming face.

"Good morning, Lin-kun~" Nagasaki Asuna greeted her with a cheerful expression.

"Miss." Ye Shuang bit her lip and avoided eye contact, as if she had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.

After filling their stomachs, the four of them went back to the rented room together.

Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi walked ahead, while Nagasaki Asuna followed behind, clinging to Ye Shuang's arm and whispering to each other.

"Honey, you have no idea what Shen Xi's expression was like back then. I almost died laughing when I saw it." The arrogant girl said with a gloating tone, her small hand holding the boy's arm.

"Hand." Cheng Fei glanced at her.

"Didn't my husband let other women hug him the other day?" the haughty young woman asked cautiously.

"That was because I had a mental breakdown a couple of days ago, but I'm recovered now, thank you." The boy became annoyed.

The petite Shen Xi not only targeted Shen Xi, but also gave Lin Xuanqi a bunch of wrong hints, doing all sorts of bad things.

"Then my husband can't stay mentally unstable forever," Lin Xuanqi muttered, continuing to cling to his arm.

"What did you say?" the boy asked, staring at her.

"It's nothing." The haughty girl met his gaze, reluctantly lowered her hand, and seemed reluctant to let go. "So, my husband was just lying to me the other day, just to spite Shen Xi?"

Her eyes, red at the corners, and her lowered brows conveyed a touch of sadness at having gained something and then lost it again.

The boy took a breath, barely managing to nod, and looked ahead expressionlessly. "First, I said I was out of my mind, I never intended to anger Shen Xi. Second, what happened a couple of days ago was purely accidental, just pretend it never happened."

"Oh," Lin Xuanqi lowered her head and answered softly.

The desk in the rented room wasn't very big; it was a bit cramped for four people to sit on.

Lin Xuanqi took the opportunity to talk to the other two girls and roughly figured out the situation.

"So, my husband can't find Shen Xi now?" The haughty girl's eyes darted around, and she rested her chin on her hand, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"You're just spouting nonsense all the time, huh? Then you might as well not tutor me at all." Cheng Fei was dealing with a backlog of company matters, his tone impatient.

"Just asking." Lin Xuanqi quickly lowered her head and pretended to be reading the question carefully, muttering, "She's always had that bad temper since she was little. When she's angry, she won't see anyone, and nothing I say will change her mind."

"They really are like little animals," Nagasaki Asuna remarked softly from the other side.

"Small animals?" Lin Xuanqi asked suspiciously.

"It was just a casual remark, don't take it to heart." Nagasaki Asuna quickly shook her head.

"Anyone who spouts nonsense can get out," the boy said bluntly.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.

The morning flew by.

With Ye Shuang and Nagasaki Asuna both present, Lin Xuanqi had no chance to pull any tricks.

At noon, Cheng Fei gathered his things on time, stood up and said, "Tutoring is over. Everyone can take care of lunch yourselves. I'm leaving now."

Nagasaki Asuna followed behind, and only waved her little hand obediently when the boy opened the door, "Goodbye, Cheng Fei?"

The boy looked at her, nodded, and then turned and disappeared out the door.

As the door to the rented room closed, the sweet girl turned around and exchanged a glance with the other two girls.

"Tch, went looking for Shen Xi, what a waste of effort." Lin Xuanqi crossed her arms, rolled her eyes and pouted, looking as if she hadn't expected it.

"Cheng Fei must have worked very hard." Nagasaki Asuna closed her eyes slightly, placed her hand on her chest as if sensing something, and shook her head.

Ye Shuang looked at the two people from left and right, remaining silent.

"By the way, Lin-kun, I have a question." Nagasaki Asuna opened her eyes and suddenly looked directly into Lin Xuanqi's eyes.

"What's the problem?" Lin Xuanqi asked casually.

"How should I put it, I just have a feeling." Nagasaki Asuna walked up to her, leaned forward with her hands behind her back, and looked her in the eye.

1024. The Appearance of Shen Xi

Cheng Fei drove around and searched through all the places he had visited yesterday.

From Shen Xi's house to the coastline of Qishui, then to the beach of Milian's seaside villa, and then to the performance hall, the basketball court in the street park, and other places, we asked the staff nearby, but still found nothing.

The boy even called the hot spring hotel in Fengshan Resort Area and used his shareholder power to confirm that there was no record of the aloof girl making a reservation or checking in.

As evening fell, Cheng Fei parked his car on the side of the Qi River, bought two taiyaki (fish-shaped cakes), and leaned against the car door, gazing at the autumn sunset over the sea.

“Aunt Tao, it’s me, Cheng Fei… I haven’t come back… Okay, thank you, Aunt Tao.”

The boy hung up the phone, smacked his lips, and ate taiyaki while checking his WeChat messages.

"Cheng Fei, she blocked me too."

"knew"

After replying, the boy put away his phone, put one hand in his pocket, and ate taiyaki while watching the sunset.

Theoretically, he wasn't worried that Shen Xi would do anything foolish. Given her temperament, the angrier she got, the calmer she would become. He had no doubt that the intelligent and aloof girl had guessed from the beginning that he was being forced.

However, guessing doesn't change anything. A public confession has happened, and there's no way to tell everyone a few days later that we made a mistake and are starting over. Shen Xi will obviously realize this as well.
