Super Soldier in the Chapter 148: Very Fresh

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Very Fresh

By midnight, everyone was ready to leave since they knew there would be drinking, none of the car owners chose to drive. Only Ye Yunzhu had a driver, but she did not pull any authoritative airs or make the car wait for her. Now, everyone had to hail cabs back ho.

Out of respect for their leader, the first taxi they hailed was for Ye Yunzhu to take. Given that there were so many classmates, it was not convenient for Li Yifei to share a ride with Ye Yunzhu. She left with two female classmates, then waved goodbye to everyone.

Li Yifei and Su Yue were the last to hail a cab, leaving just the two of them with the driver.

"Yifei, you and Ye Yunzhu..." Su Peng tentatively asked.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "It’s nothing, just catching up on old tis."

"Oh, that’s good. I was afraid you might fall for her again."

"How could that happen."

Li Yifei smiled but felt an indescribable sensation within. Back in his youth, when he was with Ye Yunzhu, it could be said that he sowhat tricked her into being with him. Now, it seed that Ye Yunzhu was completely in control, while he was utterly passive.

Before seeing Ye Yunzhu, she was always on his mind, to the extent that he dared not face her. Yet, when he actually saw her, he felt a strange resistance, an inexplicable feeling that even Li Yifei couldn’t understand. In terms of status, although Ye Yunzhu was a township chief, if you really considered it, Li Yifei’s standing, as an official at the division level, was far stronger.

In terms of background, even though he had retired from the Flying Hawk Squad, if he wanted to get sothing done, he could definitely connect with many of the influential figures in Capital City. In this sense, Ye Yunzhu’s family background couldn’t even co close.

Ye Yunzhu hadn’t changed. Li Yifei could even sense that Ye Yunzhu now seed more eager than ever to be with him. She had grown up and could make decisions for herself.

However, Li Yifei felt he couldn’t interact with Ye Yunzhu the way he used to. The distance between them seed to have inexplicably widened. It could be said that the life-and-death experiences in the Flying Hawk Squad over the years made Li Yifei crave a more peaceful life, which fundantally clashed with Ye Yunzhu’s aspirations for greatness.

When he got ho, Li Yifei had just walked in when his phone rang. It was Ye Yunzhu’s number, and he answered imdiately.

"Are you ho yet?"

"Just stepped through the door. Are you ho too?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

"Yes, I’m ho. I’m considering whether to co over to your place right now."

Li Yifei felt a surge in his heart and said, "Do you really want to run out in the middle of the night?"

"I do. You bastard, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you all these years."

Hearing Ye Yunzhu’s words, Li Yifei’s sense of distance toward her vanished without a trace. "Then co on over. I miss you too."

"Now you want

to co? Hmm, I just won’t. I’ll let you pine for ."

This tone was exactly like when they were young. Li Yifei could even imagine Ye Yunzhu pouting cutely and looking triumphantly lovely. This made Li Yifei laugh and say, "My little Yunzhu, hurry over and let big brother kiss you. I’ll treat you so well."

"I won’t! I just won’t! If you’ve got the guts, try to catch . If you catch , you can kiss ."

"Then I’m really going to co."

At that, both of them burst into laughter. This was a ga they used to play together and never tire of. Every ti, Ye Yunzhu would start off disagreeing, but after a mix of coaxing and persistence, Li Yifei would always get his way.

"Yifei, while sitting in the car just now, I thought about what you said. You’re right, we’ve been apart too long. Although our feelings haven’t changed, our lifestyles have changed a lot. Whether we can adapt to each other is indeed a problem. If we end up hurting each other when the ti cos, it’s better to keep our most beautiful mories as they are now."

Listening to Ye Yunzhu’s serious tone, Li Yifei said, "Thank you, Yunzhu. It’s good that you can see it that way. If I didn’t want to be with you, I wouldn’t have talked to you this way."

"Mm, from this point of view, you’ve really matured. You’re no longer that impulsive kid, and I like that. So, I’ll give you a chance to woo . Let’s start over, what do you say?"

"Sure, pursuing Chief Ye is like completing a miraculous turnaround for a loser like . If our classmates saw that their goddess had been won over by a loser like , I wonder if they’d regret not making a move. It seems that a township chief isn’t that hard to chase, huh?"

"Get lost, dream on. I said I’d give you a chance to pursue , so you’d better show so sincerity. Don’t think that just because of our past relationship that I’m going to go easy on you."

"Isn’t that being a bit too harsh? Look at young couples these days, they all do trial marriages. Maybe we could give that a try too."

"Fine, you scoundrel, finally showing your true colors as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You took advantage of

once when I was seventeen, then you just left, causing my parents to beat

severely. They were nearly scared to death, and now you want to take advantage of

again? There are no such bargains."

Li Yifei laughed awkwardly and said, "Isn’t that why I’ve co back? To make it up to you. So, will you give

a chance?"

"Hmph, easy for you to say. Weren’t you just talking about a trial marriage?"

Ye Yunzhu’s eloquence was getting increasingly formidable, and Li Yifei found himself at a loss, only managing a bitter smile as he said, "Alright, my dear little auntie, you can do whatever you want."

"That’s more like it, behave well and I’ll reward you, yo," Ye Yunzhu’s tone suddenly beca flirty.

Li Yifei felt a flutter in his heart and said, "Yunzhu, you’re really becoming more and more seductive. You’ve completely stolen my soul."

"I intend to seduce you, and then leave you wanting, just to drive you crazy," she said.

"That’s really too cruel."

"Humph, there’s more cruelty where that ca from. Ah, my mom is coming, I can’t talk anymore."

Ye Yunzhu abruptly hung up after saying that.

Li Yifei put away his phone, his lips curved in a sweet smile that sprang genuinely from his heart, a smile he wouldn’t give to any other woman. He had always believed that his heart belonged to only Ye Yunzhu, and now he was reliving that sensation of first love once again.

The next morning, Li Yifei received another call from Ye Yunzhu. Although it was only a brief exchange, her tone was suffused with a cloying sweetness. She told Li Yifei to pursue her, but she was the one who was more proactive. Li Yifei knew that Ye Yunzhu didn’t want their difference in status to make him feel inferior, which was why she was taking the initiative.

After getting up and tidying up a bit, there was a knock at the door. Li Yifei didn’t need to look to know it was definitely Su ngxin, who could easily tell he was back last night with all the surveillance equipnt from upstairs to downstairs.

Opening the door, sure enough, there stood Su ngxin, dressed in casual howear, her face adorned with that irresistibly sweet smile that could drive any man wild.

"I just got back, and you’re already here to freeload a al?" Li Yifei said with a smile as he let Su ngxin in.

Su ngxin made herself at ho in Li Yifei’s place, settling onto the sofa effortlessly, and said with a laugh, "Why settle for less when there’s sothing delicious available?"

Li Yifei, long accustod to Su ngxin’s thick-skinned freeloading, was about to fry so eggs when he thought of ng Xiaofei and said, "Where’s Xiaofei? How co she didn’t co over?"

"She flew out yesterday morning."

"Oh, so I can make one less portion."

Li Yifei had rarely seen ng Xiaofei lately. When he was at ho, she would be out flying, and she only ca back when he was over at Xu Yingying’s place.

The breakfast was prepared swiftly, and Li Yifei sat across from Su ngxin as they ate. After Su ngxin finished an olet and was sipping on her milk, she said, "Could you co out with

again today?"

"What’s it this ti?"

"Because you were away these past few days, I’ve piled up several days’ worth of errands."

"Let

guess, Su Missy, you don’t work at all when I’m not around, do you?"

"Definitely, in Mile City," Su ngxin naturally replied.

"You, this..." Li Yifei frowned slightly.

Quick to avoid his annoyance, Su ngxin imdiately said, "Don’t be mad, okay? I’m not forcing you to help . It’s just that due to my identity, I don’t really want to go out with so many people. Besides, the matters aren’t that important, so I waited for you."

"Alright, for the sake of those cigarettes you brought , I’ll agree. But... can you not just co into my place when I’m away from now on?"

Su ngxin t Li Yifei’s gaze, sensing that he seed to be quite perturbed by this, and quickly said with a smile, "I’m sorry. I went back to the Capital City a few tis these past days. I was worried you’d run out of smokes and I didn’t know when you’d return, so I ca over without your permission. Please forgive ."

Li Yifei was completely surprised by Su ngxin’s apology, and since her intentions were genuinely kind, he felt rather petty. He hurriedly said, "It’s nothing, I got it wrong. I thought you were taking advantage of your status and disregarding

completely. The one who should apologize is . I misjudged your kindness."

Corners of Su ngxin’s mouth lifted into a radiant smile as she said, "n who are brave enough to admit their mistakes are indeed rare."

Li Yifei responded with a laugh, "Is that also considered a strength?"

"It is, at least compared to all those self-righteous n I’ve t, you’re much better."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, dissolving any lingering awkwardness with Su ngxin.

That morning, Li Yifei once again took on the role of Su ngxin’s cousin, a rich heir laying low, and as they got into her car, Su ngxin revealed the first errand she needed to run. Li Yifei was rendered speechless—it turned out she wanted to sign a contract with Xu Yingying.
