My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 50 - 48: Properly Returning a Favor

Li Peifeng felt the current state of the three of them was very subtle, very beautiful, and very wonderful.

Sometimes it was harmonious and amiable, and other times it was opposing and conflicting.

The reason for this situation was simple, because while the two girls had feelings for him, they also had feelings for each other.

Wu Wenyue’s figure was too stunning and dazzling, and her personality was straightforward and carefree, with a boyish demeanor. She unintentionally turned many upperclassmen and underclassmen bent, and was recognized as the campus pinnacle, to the point where some boys felt inferior seeing her figure, and girls drooled upon seeing her.

Xu Manning, on the other hand, was the pinnacle of beauty in terms of appearance, with a personality slightly more difficult, yet that princess-like temper was sometimes quite adorable.

Their romantic experiences were full of ups and downs; one could say it was a love-hate relationship. But the key reason for their conflicts lay with Li Peifeng, because they only broke up because of him.

Now it’s better, the three of them directly cohabitated, eating and sleeping under the same roof, interdependent, permeated, forming deeper bonds.

I love you, you love me, I also love him, and you love him too, and then he loves both of you. But everyone pretends, keeps it hidden, all of them are good friends unwilling to break that thin piece of paper.

Yet as long as there’s a chance, two of them would secretly do things behind the other’s back, entwined with one another.

It was a kind of forbidden, exhilarating, slightly painful pleasure.

Li Peifeng quite enjoyed this feeling and firmly believed that the two women did too.

He wasn’t worried about straddling two ships and capsizing, because the two ships themselves had feelings for each other, they had already integrated, or rather, the two of them were essentially one ship.

Or perhaps, the two of them were greedy and wicked women straddling two ships as well!

"It’s alright, I’m broad-minded and don’t mind!"

"I’m in the middle, I have a steel kidney, I have a big hook, I can carry this game!"

From home to campus, the three walked very slowly along the nearly one-kilometer road, all wearing masks. The two girls from time to time reminded Li Peifeng, who was about to leave, to pay attention to safety, remember to wear a mask and take health precautions.

Mr. Li felt comfortable and at ease hearing this; indeed, how could one girl be more considerate than two girls? That’s impossible.

But if it’s three girls? Four girls? Clearly more considerate than two girls, there’s no need to question this simple math problem!

"I’m talking to you, do you hear me?"

"What?"

Li Peifeng’s gaze shifted from the fallen leaves by the roadside to the two girls, and he unconsciously used a melodious tone when speaking.

He realized that the skills rewarded by the system became more proficient the more he used them, and stagnated if not used. His current ability was still far from the skill description of imitating the sounds of all things, so he still needed to use it often.

Xu Manning wasn’t very satisfied: "Still using it?! I just said, don’t use that voice in public, what will people think if they hear it?!"

"Alright, here we go again, even more serious now, you’re starting to control what tone I speak in?"

Li Peifeng also laughed, feeling like he was back in the days when he was dating Xu Manning.

"You’re starting to dictate how I talk now, what else will you want to control in the future? I don’t even dare to think!"

"You... Yueyue!"

Xu Manning shook Wu Wenyue’s arm, frustratedly seeking support.

Wu Wenyue was generous and educated Mr. Li: "Indeed, use that voice less. I don’t know where you learned your dubbing skills, but don’t overuse them, look at how seriously people speak... how can your voice be so pleasant?"

Wu Wenyue wanted to say affected, but felt she couldn’t say it, so she could only sigh: "Anyway, just don’t talk to other women like that, who are you trying to charm? Isn’t your face enough, you still need to use your voice? It’s excessive!"

Xu Manning nodded: "Yes, don’t talk to other women!"

"Your use of subtlety is much smoother than mine."

Li Peifeng clicked his tongue, but still switched back to his previous voice.

The road wasn’t long, and soon the three of them entered the campus. As they were about to part ways, the two girls seemed to belatedly sense the feeling of separation.

"What time’s the flight?"

"In three hours."

"I’ve got class, can’t see you off."

"No need to, I’m heading to Old Zhao’s office, she’ll leave soon."

"Returning in a week?"

"Yes, so you two don’t miss me too much."

The three of them stood together at the crossroads, their height and presence as conspicuous as ever, drawing the attention and speculation of many students.

This led to Wu Wenyue feeling a mix of awkwardness and impatience: "Just go, if there’s a connection in the next life, I’ll miss you."

Xu Manning spoke with a sweeter tone: "Remember to bring us gifts, don’t bother coming back if you don’t."

...

...

"Out of thousands of partings, if it is between one love and the next, waiting is not a cruel word."

"Hehehe~"

In the airport waiting lounge, Zhao Qingge looked up from the book she was reading to the spot beside her, where Li Peifeng was chuckling over his phone, and frowned, "Why are you laughing while I’m reading? Is it bothering you?"

Li Peifeng quickly put down his phone, apologizing, "Sorry, mentor, it’s not because of you, I was chatting with some book fans."

Zhao Qingge replied nonchalantly, "What’s so funny?"

Li Peifeng smiled, "Because I’m going on a business trip to Wuzhen with you, I might be delayed with my writing, so I mentioned it in the group chat, and it turns out quite a few fans are from Zhejiang, a few from Hangzhou too. They insisted on showing hospitality when they heard I’m going to Wuzhen. Of course, I won’t let them pay, but at least when we want to go out on the weekend, we can have them guide us."

Book fans?

To be specific; female book fans!

Zhao Qingge seemed uninterested, "Time is tight, we have the meeting the day after the day after tomorrow, you only have two days to spare if you want to enjoy yourself. Once we land in Hangzhou and wander around West Lake, you’ll be out of time. Why look for local guides, especially book fans? Is that appropriate?"

Li Peifeng hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Mainly because those fans helped me a lot before, and now that I’m in their area, I want to meet them and return a favor."

Help? Are you referring to the time they helped you with red envelopes during the scandal?

This favor indeed needs to be returned, but how do you plan to return it? In what manner? Is the favor return method appropriate?

I gave you money, and you provided companionship; they also gave you money, what are you accompanying them for?!

Are you looking to die?!

Zhao Qingge’s heart was full of doubt, and she had every reason to suspect that Li Peifeng meeting those female book fans was to do some unspeakable things!

"I just want to treat them to a meal."

Seeing the suspicion in his mentor’s mind, Li Peifeng spoke directly, "To thank the fans for their past support, I was indeed facing some difficulties during that time, and without the fans, it would have been tough to persist... so, mentor? Is it okay? I promise, it won’t interfere with my work!"

"Suit yourself."

Zhao Qingge pushed her glasses up without much expression and continued reading.

"Hmm?"

What’s this tone? If you say those words in the dream, it would mean you’re angry!

Why do I smell a sense of jealousy?

Li Peifeng cautiously asked, "Then you..."

"I’m not going with you."

Zhao Qingge, without lifting her head, said, "After the plane lands in Hangzhou, I’ll take a car directly to Wuzhen. You should arrive at the hotel in Wuzhen by Sunday night and make sure not to miss the meeting on Monday."

"Got it, got it."

Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling awkward around Old Zhao ever since having that dream where the relationship dynamics were so tangled and frustrating. Zhao Qingge not going with him was a relief, avoiding any discomfort.

At that moment, busy chatting with Zhao Qingge, he didn’t have time to check TT, where his account was being bombarded with countless messages.
