My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 87 - 85: What’s Wrong with Wanting to Enjoy Myself?
"What are you looking at?"
Li Peifeng, holding two cucumbers, nudged the deep-in-thought Wu Wenyue on both sides: "Hey, wake up!"
"What are you doing in here?"
Wu Wenyue was still catching her breath from the sprint earlier, chest heaving, face fluctuating between emotions: "Get out!"
Li Peifeng moved closer with a slight smirk: "Are you overthinking?"
"Do I even need to think?!"
Wu Wenyue lowered her voice angrily: "Even my toenails know you two didn’t do anything decent! Did you forget how we acted for Manning?!"
Hmm, that’s hard to brush off, the incident in the wardrobe still fresh in memory...
Good or evil will be repaid, the heavens’ cycle is inevitable. Who can the heavens spare?
This is a cycle of persistence!
Li Peifeng couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore, placed the cucumbers on the table, then suddenly embraced the woman in front of him!
"Get out!"
Wu Wenyue was furious, took a step back trying to push him away, but ultimately outmatched in weight, not only did she fail to push him away, she ended up in his arms.
Tightly, enveloped...
"Brother Yue, I missed you."
Li Peifeng’s gaze was deeply affectionate, his voice, bolstered by a mesmerizing tone, reached Wu Wenyue’s ears: "I missed you so much, every evening when I see the moon in Wuzhen, it winds its way back to thoughts of you."
A bit hoarse, yet irresistibly alluring, each word slipping from his lips, sounded to the ear like sitting by the window in a snowy December, sipping a steaming cup of Pu’er tea, the curling aroma spreading, the warm liquid kindly sliding down the throat, warming the whole person up.
This is the kind of voice that melts people, I miss it too...
Wu Wenyue’s face reddened slightly, unsure if it was from anger or embarrassment: "You probably said something similar to Xu Manning just now, didn’t you?"
Unable to stop herself, she added angrily: "I was only gone for less than an hour, and you two stirred up trouble?! Are you fair to me?!!"
"Knock knock knock~~"
"Don’t hide in there silently, I know what you two are up to!!"
"Open the door for me!!!"
The knocking was like a relentless reminder, Li Peifeng couldn’t care less, time was critical, he went straight in for a kiss...
The two held each other tightly, Wu Wenyue began to struggle in resistance, he followed her movement, unsure whose body bumped into the chair, then the desk, finally both fell onto the bed...
"You two are so bold! How could you do this to me?!"
"Open the door! Where’s the hammer? Is there a hammer at home? I need to break it open!!"
"Listen, you better not be lewd! If you dare, I’ll deal with you!"
Outside, Xu Manning couldn’t stop talking, her tone changing from pleading to fierce.
Inside, the two couldn’t stop kissing, their initial fierceness turning into tenderness.
(*≧▽≦)＝(≧▽≦*)
Lost in themselves, focused, wholly absorbed!
Wu Wenyue adopted a meticulous attitude towards the "experiment."
Li Peifeng showed unwavering determination like writing an article.
Researching, exploring, attending "class" together.
"On the Art of Kissing to Stimulate a Rapid Release of Hormones!"
Yet a door apart might as well be a world apart.
"I’m going to call the police! Open up!"
"This is my house!! Li Peifeng, where did you put the key?!"
"Wu Wenyue, are you fair to me? Let go! No indecency!!"
Outside, Xu Manning was like a helpless soccer fan from the national team, only able to watch her goal being pummeled without recourse...
Being named, Li Peifeng seemed unbothered, smiling as he asked the person in front of him: "Missed me?"
Hmm, the same question.
Wu Wenyue kept her eyes closed: "Kind of."
"Tell me you miss me."
"Tell me you miss me."
Li Peifeng impatiently repeated: "I miss you."
"You miss me."
Li Peifeng feigned anger: "Say it quickly!"
Wu Wenyue rolled her eyes: "Have some shame, it’s already something that I let you kiss me, who knows where that dog mouth’s been!"
Li Peifeng blushed: "What do you think it could do?!"
They couldn’t figure it out yet, as the door pounding grew louder.
Outside, Xu Manning resembled a wronged townswoman from ancient times, knocking at the grand gates like beating the grievance drum...
"Knock knock knock~ knock knock knock!!"
Rhythmic, deafening.
"Are you gonna die? You’re really asking for trouble!!"
"Open the door! If you don’t, I’ll set the house on fire!"
Xu Manning was already hysterical: "I’ve turned on the gas stove completely. If you still don’t open the door, I’ll ignite it, and we’ll all perish together! Let’s all be reborn!!! See you in the next life!!!"
This terrifying terrorist...
"Alright."
Wu Wenyue felt a bit smug, yet slightly worried: "Get up. She’s been shouting outside for two or three minutes now."
"Okay."
After the two got out of bed, Li Peifeng couldn’t help himself and gave her a reluctant kiss before turning to open the door.
"Who’s there? What grievance do you report? Why do you strike the grievance drum?"
"..."
When the door opened, Xu Manning saw their state, noticed their clothes were still on, and the terror in her heart dissipated significantly. After taking a deep breath, she rasped, "Stop talking nonsense, go and turn off the gas stove!"
"Did you really turn it on?"
Li Peifeng was momentarily stunned, then quickly rushed to the kitchen, taking big strides, and reached there in a blink, both amused and annoyed by what he saw.
The stove was indeed turned on, but it hadn’t been ignited, nor was there a gas leak.
Because Li Peifeng had personally replaced this gas stove with a new model that automatically cuts off gas when the flame is accidentally extinguished, it was very safe!
"Really..."
Li Peifeng shook his head and turned back to the living room.
However, he saw the two girls seemed to be confronting each other.
You look at me, I look at you, a situation where neither found the other pleasing...
I, Li Peifeng, really like how you both are crazily jealous over me!
Li quietly took a seat on a chair in the kitchen, grabbing a bag of groceries from the table, and began to snap beans while...watching the show!
However, things did not develop as he imagined. The two girls were silent for about ten seconds before Wu Wenyue spoke first.
"Didn’t you want to eat some fruit? Want to go buy some together?"
Xu Manning glanced sideways at Li Peifeng, pursed her lips, and said, "Let’s go."
"You cook."
Wu Wenyue instructed, then reached out to embrace Xu Manning: "Go change your shoes."
Li Peifeng wasn’t thrilled: "When are you coming back? You’re leaving me to cook alone?"
"..."
The two girls ignored him and were still changing their shoes.
Li Peifeng felt quite bored: "Why don’t we eat out? I’m too lazy to cook and have to wash the dishes; it’s very troublesome."
"We’ll be right back!"
"Click~"
As the door closed, the two stepped out and walked into the elevator.
"When something is within easy reach, and you don’t have to put much extra effort into getting it, how much do you cherish it?"
Wu Wenyue spoke, inexplicably saying a paragraph.
Xu Manning’s expression softened slightly: "I understand what you mean, we’ve talked about this."
Wu Wenyue whispered, "But you breached the agreement, what were you thinking?"
The human heart is quite subtle.
When people encounter something easily attained, they rationally assess the pros and cons of it; no matter what, they can find something unsatisfactory.
But when we actively pursue something, we abandon some level of rationality, and our heart enters defensive mode to protect our choice’s correctness; even if our choice is wrong, we’ll find plenty of reasons to prove ourselves right.
In short, the easier something is to get, the less people cherish it.
The principle is simple and especially applicable to relationships between men and women...
"We agreed before, you can’t cross the bottom line!"
Wu Wenyue reiterated: "It’s only been a few days and you’ve given everything to him?! What about the future? Haven’t you forgotten why he broke up with you?"
Xu Manning was about to maintain her act, but the words struck a nerve; annoyed, she dropped the pretense: "Turning old scores? Why not talk about your stuff? Didn’t you give it to him too? And now you’re lecturing me!"
"That was..." Wu Wenyue was speechless for a moment, then defended, "I told you, I was drunk at the time! Plus, he was the one who initiated! He took advantage of me being drunk to get handsy."
"And you’re playing games!" Xu Manning narrowed her eyes and snorted: "He told me you were the one who jumped on him!"
Wu Wenyue instinctively wanted to curse: "How could he say..."
"Good!"
Xu Manning laughed sinisterly: "So it really was you who made the first move! Have some shame, will you?! Wu Wenyue!!"
Oops, fell into the trap.
Wu Wenyue sighed inwardly: "Let’s not stray from the point, we’re discussing your breach."
Xu Manning was truly angry now: "I really didn’t misjudge you; you are indeed heroic like a man, eagerly jumping into bed with one too. You’re impressive, you’re indeed bold..."
"Don’t change the subject!"
"Fine, I won’t!"
Xu Manning said confidently, "You feel pressure from studying, I study and work, don’t I have pressure? I want to sweat, relieve stress, enjoy myself, what’s wrong with that?"
