Chapter 217: Chapter 218 Sneakily
After buying groceries, Li Yifei personally cooked a delicious dinner, drank quite a bit with Xu Zhenguo, and then took his leave. The reason was easy to find—since the living space was small with only two bedrooms, he couldn’t make the old couple go out to stay elsewhere, nor could he drive Xu Shanshan out, so he decided to make do with staying at the company for the night.
Fortunately, while he was having dinner with the Xu Zhenguo Couple that evening, Chu Xiaoyao hadn’t called him, which would have complicated things even further. When he got ho, he unexpectedly found Chu Xiaoyao missing. From the looks of it in the house, it seed Chu Xiaoyao hadn’t returned since she left in the morning.
This made Li Yifei sowhat worried. Now that this young girl was living in his house, if sothing were to happen to her, he would bear an inescapable responsibility. Responsibility wasn’t what Li Yifei feared, but he couldn’t get past this concern himself. He quickly called Chu Xiaoyao, but her phone was turned off. That only increased Li Yifei’s worries.
Just then, Su Yiyi called him to say that Chu Xiaoyao had been picked up by her parents, who had taken her phone away, and she could only use QQ to notify her online. Su Yiyi had gone out with classmates in the evening, returned a little late, and had just seen the ssage, so she inford Li Yifei only now.
Now that he knew Chu Xiaoyao was alright, Li Yifei felt relieved and also more at ease. Otherwise, having this young girl around was really getting to be too much for him to handle.
"Brother Li, you... you..." Su Yiyi suddenly started to stamr.
Li Yifei imdiately said, "What’s the matter? Just say it, are you running short on money?"
"No, no, not at all!" Su Yiyi quickly denied.
"Then what’s the matter? Are you in so kind of trouble?"
"I... I just wanted to ask you, Brother Li, do... do you miss ?"
Li Yifei was taken aback, and then a strong sense of warmth surged in his heart. Gently he said, "Of course, I miss you. I want to hug you right now. Shall I co pick you up?"
"No! No! Don’t co to pick
up." Su Yiyi seed very flustered.
Li Yifei asked in confusion, "What’s the matter? Don’t you miss ?"
"It’s not that. I also miss... Brother Li a lot, but... but... I just got my... period today."
Li Yifei could imagine the embarrassed and shy look on Su Yiyi’s face as she said this and couldn’t help but chuckle. "Silly girl, if I say I miss you, does it an I only want that from you? We could talk, watch TV, or just cuddle up and sleep together."
Speaking softly, Su Yiyi said, "But... that would make Brother Li so uncomfortable."
A ripple went through Li Yifei’s heart, and with a laugh, he said, "Then you’ll have to find other ways to help ."
"Other ways?" Su Yiyi sounded a bit perplexed.
Listening to Su Yiyi’s voice, Li Yifei began to regret his words. Su Yiyi was such an innocent girl and didn’t understand these things at all; he felt he was almost desecrating her by speaking like that. He quickly said, "I’m just joking with you. Alright, wait for . I’ll co pick you up right now from school."
"Ah! You’re really coming?" Su Yiyi replied both shocked and delighted.
"Of course, it’s for real. Do you want
to wait for you at the school gate, or do you prefer under your dormitory building?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.
"I... better at the school gate. Brother Li, it’s not that I’m afraid of people seeing, it’s just that... just that..."
"Silly girl, I understand. You just don’t want to make others too envious of you, right?" Li Yifei laughed heartily. "Alright, I’ll be at your school gate in half an hour."
"Mmhmm!" Su Yiyi responded eagerly, and then the call ended.
Most girls are quite vain, and Li Yifei understood that well. Girls like Chu Xiaoyao, Xu Shanshan all liked to show off, but Su Yiyi was completely different. She never thought about having Li Yifei pick her up in his car and then showing off in front of her classmates.
After changing his clothes, Li Yifei drove to Su Yiyi’s school. It wasn’t long before Su Yiyi erged from the school looking excited. Upon seeing Li Yifei’s car, she hurried over and got in.
Stealing a glance at Li Yifei, she shyly said, "Brother Li, sorry to keep you waiting."
Li Yifei started the car, still with a smile, and said, "When it cos to dates, isn’t it better for the man to arrive early? Shows he’s sincere."
"Dates..." Su Yiyi’s face grew redder, but her eyes carried a different sparkle, and suddenly they beca teary.
Li Yifei could understand Su Yiyi’s thoughts and felt sowhat guilty in his heart. With his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand holding Su Yiyi’s left hand, he said softly, "Yiyi, it’s Brother Li’s fault for not giving you the feeling of being in love."
Su Yiyi clasped Li Yifei’s hand in return and shook her head repeatedly, "Brother Li, it’s already so good, really good."
Li Yifei let out a chuckle and said, "From now on, whenever we have ti, we can go shopping, watch movies, and such. You can’t refuse to co out with ."
"I will definitely co out," Su Yiyi wiped her eyes and gave Li Yifei a sweet smile that was incredibly radiant and charming.
"Well then, let’s go have a romantic ti right now instead of heading straight ho to sleep, shall we?" Li Yifei winked at Su Yiyi.
Su Yiyi was so thrilled she didn’t know what to say, and just kept nodding her head. Whatever Li Yifei wanted to do, she would accept unconditionally, especially when it was sothing that made her so happy.
During this ti, Su Yiyi truly didn’t have that previous feeling of wanting to repay a debt, but when she was with Li Yifei, she always deferred to his choices. Whatever Li Yifei wanted to do, she followed, and this made her feel very sweet. Now that Li Yifei was offering her even more, thinking about watching movies together and shopping, her heart was so delighted it felt like flying.
Li Yifei knew that Su Yiyi didn’t have many ideas at this ti, so he took her shopping. It wasn’t too late and the shops on the comrcial streets were still open, so he bought Su Yiyi a few pieces of clothing.
Su Yiyi was reluctant to accept; the clothes cost over two thousand, which for her was incredibly extravagant.
"Silly girl, aren’t you my girlfriend? When you dress up nicely, I feel good looking at you. ’Won dress for the ones they cherish’, you should know that," he said.
Su Yiyi said with a heartache, "But this is spending too much. You’re now giving
money for college and buying clothes for , it has cost so much."
Li Yifei wrapped his arm around Su Yiyi’s shoulder, smiling, "Don’t worry, Brother Li isn’t the type to pretend to be richer than he is. If I didn’t have the money, I certainly wouldn’t be spending recklessly. I can’t buy you clothes only to find myself without rent or food money later, right?"
Leaning on Li Yifei, Su Yiyi walked slowly forward and said softly, "Brother Li, we should still spend with a plan, and I really don’t need much. Please don’t spend too much on
in the future."
Li Yifei knew Su Yiyi was thrifty and couldn’t accept spending too much money. Even if he showed her all his wealth, she wouldn’t be willing to spend it and would feel an even greater burden. Therefore, Li Yifei didn’t tell Su Yiyi about his true financial situation, and the two of them continued to live a peaceful life, thinking that earning money and living together in the future would be a very happy thing.
Around nine o’clock, Li Yifei and Su Yiyi were ready to go back. After driving for a while, Li Yifei wanted to buy so fruit. Knowing there was a small street nearby with a night market, which sold many things, he parked the car nearby and walked in with Su Yiyi.
But as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the street, they saw chaos, with shouting and screaming incessantly filling the air.
Su Yiyi grasped Li Yifei’s hand tightly out of nervousness, while Li Yifei frowned and pulled Su Yiyi towards the commotion, quickly seeing what exactly was happening.
It turned out to be a fight. On one side, three people were ard with tal pipes and other weapons, and on the other, two people were unard and being beaten badly. Nearby, there were two cars: one a BMW worth about a million, and another a taxi, the two cars seemingly having collided.
Li Yifei stood there for a short while and had already figured out what was going on. Apparently, the two cars had collided, and it was difficult to determine whose fault it was. But in this kind of street, driving in is generally avoided. To drive in here was to look for trouble.
At this mont, Li Yifei also spotted soone familiar—it was his flight attendant neighbor, ng Xiaofei. She was filming with her phone, unclear whether she was just watching or recording evidence.
The Police Car arrived with a siren blaring, and several police officers jumped out. They finally intervened and stopped the fight.
"What’s going on?" A police officer looked coldly at both parties, but when he saw one of the n involved in the beating, the officer’s expression changed, and he nodded slightly without speaking to that person.
The man simply pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and seed unphased by the arrival of the police.
One of the beaten n, his forehead covered and blood all over him, pleaded, "Officer, their car forced its way through, and my taxi ended up getting scraped. They blad
after getting out of the car and then they beat ."
The police officer frowned and said, "All of you, get in the car. We’ll sort this out at the station."
The beaten man quickly got into the Police Car, while the three n who had done the beating didn’t enter the Police Car but instead got into their car and followed behind.
"Hey, officer, I have evidence here," ng Xiaofei suddenly shouted. The Police Car wasn’t moving fast and should have heard her, yet didn’t stop and drove off.
As the crowd dispersed, ng Xiaofei spotted Li Yifei and rushed over, urgently saying, "Brother Li, do you have a car? Hurry and follow them. I have evidence on my phone, otherwise the taxi driver is going to suffer a big loss."
