Chapter 1292: Chapter 1342 Brave Zhou Xiaoyue
Sure! Here is the translated text:
---
Li Yifei never expected that Chu Xiaoyao was referring to Zhou Xiaoyue, while he was talking about Xu Shanshan. Although both were sister-in-laws, Xu Shanshan had always been with Li Yifei. Ever since he t Xu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, as her sister-in-law, had always been a part of their group. As for Zhou Xiaoyue, he hadn’t interacted with her much, and besides, Zhou Xiaoyue was Ye Yunzhu’s cousin, not a direct sister-in-law. So when Chu Xiaoyao ntioned ’sister-in-law,’ he naturally thought of Xu Shanshan and didn’t even consider that Chu Xiaoyao might be referring to Zhou Xiaoyue.
Nonetheless, since he already ntioned it, Li Yifei candidly explained his current situation with Xu Shanshan to Chu Xiaoyao.
Chu Xiaoyao smirked mischievously and said, "Now I get it. Every ti Sister Yingying seems to have that intuition, it’s always when you’re not ho — and you’re with Sister Shanshan. Turns out it’s all your doing."
Li Yifei gave an awkward laugh and said, "Yes, we’re just keeping our options open for now. Even if Yingying really finds out and can’t accept it, Shanshan hasn’t... taken that final step yet, so it might make her feel slightly better."
"Hmm, I get it. But honestly, it’s kind of thrilling if you think about it. Imagine the day when Sister Shanshan and Sister Yingying are in bed with you — that would be over the top. One gets involved, and the other reacts. Wahaha, I have to co check it out when that happens."
Li Yifei knocked on Chu Xiaoyao’s head and said, "I haven’t even figured out the best solution for this yet, and here you are imagining such things."
"What’s wrong with imagining? You can’t say you’ve never thought about it yourself, right?" Chu Xiaoyao blinked at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Do you believe
if I say I haven’t thought about it?"
"Ha... I knew it. You’ve definitely considered it. Anyway, ti for
to wash up, or I won’t have enough energy to keep up with you." Saying that, Chu Xiaoyao jumped out of bed.
Li Yifei shook his head, feeling that sothing seed off after talking to Chu Xiaoyao. He couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, but speaking out about the matter sohow made him feel a bit lighter. Perhaps it was the unresolved issue with Xu Shanshan that had made him feel so burdened.
At that mont, Chu Xiaoyao was already dashing into Zhou Xiaoyue’s room. She jumped onto the bed with excitent and hugged Zhou Xiaoyue tightly, exclaiming, "Little Yue, no problem with this plan!"
Zhou Xiaoyue’s face instantly turned bright red. She stamred, "How do you know?"
"Of course I know. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure this works out for you."
"But... Xiaoyao, I still feel so awkward. While I admire Brother-in-law as an extraordinary person, that’s just... admiration, not the kind of love that makes your heart race."
"Love can be nurtured over ti. Do you really think there’s so much love at first sight? Spending ti together is the only way to truly grow feelings. Anyway, it’s settled now. Don’t even think about backing out."
Zhou Xiaoyue gave a bitter smile and said, "Why do I feel like I’m being forced onto Liang Mountain?"
Chu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes and replied, "Do you think just anyone can climb onto this Liang Mountain? This opportunity is yours alone. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t even get a chance — kneeling and begging wouldn’t get them anywhere."
"Alright, I know you an well, but please don’t be too forceful. Let
handle it myself... I’ll work on it, okay?" As she said this, Zhou Xiaoyue bit her lip, as if resolving to do sothing.
"You’ll handle it yourself?" Chu Xiaoyao looked at Zhou Xiaoyue with suspicion.
Zhou Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes, I can make an effort to connect with Brother-in-law. If I can truly fall in love with him, I’ll be with him. But if he doesn’t reciprocate, I won’t cling to him. Even if I gain eternal youth, watching him with you all while feeling left out will make
unhappy forever."
Chu Xiaoyao stared blankly at Zhou Xiaoyue, while Zhou Xiaoyue’s expression was determined and unyielding. This finally made Chu Xiaoyao grin and say, "Alright, I’ll agree to your plan."
"Thanks, Xiaoyao. But sotis I’ll still need your help; otherwise, I won’t even get a chance to interact with Brother-in-law."
"Okay, I understand. Leave it to . Sigh, there are easier ways to go about this, but you’re choosing to make it all complicated." Chu Xiaoyao shook her head, then sat up and winked at Zhou Xiaoyue. "I’m going to wash up now and go ss around with my husband."
Zhou Xiaoyue pouted at her and said, "Show-off. Just don’t wear yourself out."
"Haha. If you’re worried about
tiring out, co join us soti. My husband can easily handle two."
"Oh, go on! Just hurry up and take your shower."
Chu Xiaoyao laughed loudly and ran into the bathroom.
Zhou Xiaoyue lay on her side on the bed, her blush lingering long after. Ever since she first t Li Yifei, she’d been intrigued by him. As she learned more about his extraordinary experiences, her admiration for him grew, along with a subtle liking. However, because she was close friends with Chu Xiaoyao and had her cousin Ye Yunzhu to consider, she had never believed she harbored romantic feelings for Li Yifei. But with Chu Xiaoyao egging her on, the emotions she had suppressed deep down ignited like a spark eting dry leaves — blazing into uncontainable flas. Her heart raced wildly, and she could no longer suppress her feelings.
After drinking quite a bit that evening, Zhou Xiaoyue felt nature’s call. She got out of bed, opened her door, and headed out — only to faintly hear sounds coming from Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao’s room. Even though the door’s soundproofing was decent, Chu Xiaoyao’s voice was quite loud, making it audible.
"That noisy Xiaoyao, did she have to be so dramatic?" Zhou Xiaoyue muttered to herself as she hurried to the bathroom.
"From what Xiaoyao said, Brother-in-law is really skilled in that area. He can effortlessly handle two people, and they do it all the ti—three at once. This is just..." Zhou Xiaoyue’s face turned scarlet as she imagined such a scene, the re thought making her feel aflutter and embarrassed.
She barely slept that night, her mind brimming with chaotic thoughts.
Early the next morning, Li Yifei went off to a eting, while Chu Xiaoyao and Zhou Xiaoyue slept in until almost noon. Once they were up, they hadn’t been awake for long before Li Yifei returned. After lunch with Chu Xiaoyao, he prepared to head back to Mile City.
"Honey, you’re done with your eting?" Chu Xiaoyao greeted him, her face still unwashed, then darted into the bathroom.
Zhou Xiaoyue was already dressed neatly. As soon as she saw Li Yifei, her face reddened, and she said shyly, "Brother-in-law."
Seeing Zhou Xiaoyue’s blushing face and hearing her call him "Brother-in-law," a sudden realization hit Li Yifei like lightning. He finally understood why he’d felt awkward talking to Chu Xiaoyao the night before — Chu Xiaoyao’s ’sister-in-law’ clearly referred to Zhou Xiaoyue, while he had been referring to Xu Shanshan. He had inadvertently confessed his situation with Xu Shanshan.
"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Zhou Xiaoyue timidly asked, noticing his dazed look.
"Ah, no worries, no worries." Li Yifei forced a wry smile, realizing he’d practically fallen into a trap. But then, seeing Zhou Xiaoyue, he recalled Chu Xiaoyao’s words and noticed her peculiar deanor today — her frequent blushing didn’t escape his notice. Suddenly, he panicked. This young girl seed to have developed feelings for him!
"Little Yue, it’s been a long ti since Brother-in-law had a proper chat with you," Li Yifei quickly composed himself and smiled.
Zhou Xiaoyue glanced up at him before lowering her head. She murmured softly, "Brother-in-law is busy; how would he have ti to notice ?"
Watching her expression, Li Yifei beca increasingly certain of the trouble brewing. He thought gloomily to himself that dealing with Xu Shanshan as his sister-in-law was already daunting — if Zhou Xiaoyue also got involved, things would escalate terribly. He decided he’d better extinguish her feelings swiftly.
But since Zhou Xiaoyue was his sister-in-law and close with Chu Xiaoyao, he couldn’t be too blunt. Instead, he smiled and asked, "How have things been at school lately?"
"Pretty good," she replied.
"I bet there are plenty of boys pursuing you. Our Little Yue is so beautiful; you must be the campus queen with many admirers."
Zhou Xiaoyue looked up at Li Yifei with a coy smile and said, "Yeah, lots of people chase after , but I feel like we’re still young and not very mature with our thoughts. I haven’t considered dating anyti soon."
Li Yifei chuckled, "But isn’t university the perfect ti for a whirlwind romance?"
Zhou Xiaoyue shook her head lightly but looked at Li Yifei with a playful glint in her eye. "Brother-in-law, you don’t need to be so nervous. Even if you don’t like , there’s no need to push
away like this."
"What?!" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock as Zhou Xiaoyue deftly cut through his facade, leaving him mortified.
She laughed softly. "Brother-in-law, seeing you like this makes you seem even more adorable to ."
"Um... Little Yue..." Li Yifei stamred, trying to find the right words. But Zhou Xiaoyue interrupted him, saying, "Xiaoyao already told
that being with you and the others ans staying eternally young. That is tempting, but Brother-in-law, you’ve always been soone I admire. I truly do like you, but don’t worry; I won’t cling to you. I’m still in university. Once I graduate, I’ll join your company and prove my worth — I’ll win you over with my own charm, not force you to accept . Don’t worry."
Li Yifei stared at Zhou Xiaoyue in amazent. Who would have thought this seemingly mischievous girl would have such a bold and resolute heart?
