My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 281 244: Speed Up!

People began to talk about dreams, inevitably, feeling a bit nostalgic about those memories.

Not just because of the complex emotions arising from the things that happened among them.

But more so because in dreams, in that splendid world, they had wings, boundless courage, could break free from shackles, their bodies weightless, their souls free, indulging in passionate love and hate in the dream.

That is why they longed for it.

Li Peifeng even considered running back home halfway through the dinner, applying more perfume, to re-enter the dream with a few others later that night. But simultaneously, he also yearned for the taste of Huang Tianxuan's lips.

So, he gave a little kick to signal, and Huang Tianxuan understood, although she playfully ate garlic, and although it was in the restroom.

But adhering to the principle of "since we're already here," Li Peifeng still went ahead.

They engaged in a battle of lips and teeth, under the dim lights and the scent of disinfectant in the restroom, tearing off the shackles and enjoying the pleasure of unlocking freedom.

"I... can't breathe."

Gradually reaching the climax in the midst of suffocation.

"They're... still upstairs."

The deep gratification amidst the taboo... perhaps not quite, pressed for time, with just a small release, Li Peifeng let go of the other, caressing Huang Tianxuan's cheek, and gently breathed out, "This taste... it's just like you."

Even though his breath was full of garlic, the smell in the air, Huang Tianxuan frowned slightly and chuckled, "What do you mean?"

"Having skewers without garlic loses half the flavor. Without your bit of garlic, something always feels missing," Li Peifeng said with a smile, hinting at something more.

"You scoundrel of the mundane world!"

Huang Tianxuan calmly smiled, "Go find other garlic then, for you certainly can't afford this bulb of mine. Unless, you'd stop eating meat skewers, chicken wings, switch to vegetarian, and eat only garlic, then perhaps I might consider it."

Li Peifeng raised an eyebrow, "So I haven't had the garlic yet?"

Huang Tianxuan nodded demurely, "You've only had some garlic skin, at this rate, you'll never get to the real cloves."

Ninety-nine trials and tribulations are just beginning!

Li Peifeng sighed inwardly, outwardly smiling, "I need to step out, you all go ahead and eat, I'll be back soon."

Mr. Li planned to go home for perfume, the place was just a kilometer away from Jade District, a round trip a bit over two kilometers, shouldn't take more than seven or eight minutes by cab to be back.

The dinner was only halfway through, everything was still manageable.

"What?"

Huang Tianxuan's playful expression turned to one of surprise, "Why are you stepping out?"

"I... need to fetch something from home."

Li Peifeng was vague, adding, "Back in five minutes, you go upstairs first."

Huang Tianxuan wanted to ask more questions, but Li Peifeng had already left the restroom.

"Wait." Huang Tianxuan quickly followed, "What are you fetching?"

The lady of the BBQ place was still at the door by the large beer barrel tapping fresh beer, incidentally seeing them come out of the restroom almost simultaneously, but she just saw it, said nothing.

"Madam, another ten lamb skewers, ten beef skewers, a plate of crayfish, six grilled oysters..."

Li Peifeng ordered more food, but his steps didn't stop, moving towards the door, once the response 'Alright' was given, he left the BBQ place.

Huang Tianxuan watched as Li Peifeng quickly left in a cab, head full of confusion, "Was it because after kissing me there's garlic taste, scared they'll notice, so went home to brush teeth? Or perhaps to get mouthwash? It doesn't have to be so complicated."

"Such a cautious jerk!"

After a few seconds of pondering, the cab had already driven far, and Huang Tianxuan turned to go upstairs.

"Where is he? Why hasn't he come up?"

Wu Wenyue seemed to ask casually, her eyes fixed on Huang Tianxuan's expression.

Xu Manning smiled insincerely, "They must stagger their return times, coming back together would easily cause misunderstandings."

Huang Tianxuan ignored her barbed words, puzzled, "He went out, said he needed to fetch something from home, would be back soon."

Right then, Xu Manning's phone rang, it was Li Peifeng calling.

"Hello? What are you doing?"

"..."

"To fetch wine?" Xu Manning said perplexedly, "Doesn't the restaurant have wine? Why go all the way home?"

Subsequently, whatever explanation Li Peifeng gave, it eased her expression a bit, she urged 'hurry back' and then hung up.

Wu Wenyue asked unhappily, "How much more does he want to drink? You should have called him back."

"It's a 2006 Petrus."

A glimpse of hesitation flashed across Xu Manning's face, "Just like the wine we drank the night before my birthday when the four of us and Zhao Qingge dined together. He thinks our shared dream might have something to do with that bottle, so he recently bought a new one, wanting to bring it over now."

Huang Tianxuan let out a sound, lips twitched, "That wine..."

Wu Wenyue frowned slightly, "Whimsical thinking, Petrus produces at least ten thousand bottles, if drinking it leads to shared dreams, it would have been known long ago, maybe it was just a coincidence."

But, what if?

The three girls exchanged glances, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

Huang Tianxuan rested her chin on her hand, muttering, "If you really dream it again one day, what would you want to do?"

Xu Manning hummed, "Certainly wouldn't be like the first time!"

"Wenyue?"

Huang Tianxuan looked at Wu Wenyue, who seemed lost in thought, several seconds later she coldly chuckled, "Forget about him, let's continue eating."

...

Four minutes later, Li Peifeng returned to his apartment at Jade District, didn't even remove his shoes, headed straight to the bedroom to find Nether Sea's Breath, opened it and applied some.

"Let's start with five nickel's worth!"

Ah, the little puddle of perfume poured out was about the size of a five-cent coin, after applying it, Mr. Li hurried to the kitchen, rummaged through the cupboard for that bottle of wine and an opener.

This wine was bought after earning over three hundred thousand from contributing, priced at twenty-three thousand, and purchasing it did cause a small heartache. Li Peifeng's purchasing purpose was simply that it tasted good, waiting for someone's birthday or some important event to pop it open again.

But this time, taking the wine was also a great opportunity, could explain why he left in the middle of the meal to go home, and cover up the real reason; the perfume!

After all, last time in the dream, Huang Tianxuan seemed to have sensed something, if they associated the dream with the scent on him, that wouldn't be good.

Moreover, Li Peifeng felt that actually, the three girls might want to drink more, because they all very much wanted to dream again, to roam the Otherworld once more.

But the problem is, when drinking too much, one inevitably gets drunk…

"Women don't get drunk, men don't get a chance!"

Li Peifeng grinned, carrying the wine quickly out of the kitchen, just about to leave home, when the taste of garlic in his mouth made him frown slightly.

"Negligence!"

He returned once more to the restroom, took a swig of mouthwash, then turned and dashed downstairs, got into a cab, he spoke immediately.

"Driver, speed it up, get there in two minutes, I'll give you an extra twenty, but stay within the law."

Extra pay?

The cab driver uncle, who was smoking with the window open, had a change in his eyes.

"Ka~"

The handbrake swiftly released, gears quickly shifted, and the pedal floored!

The cab driver's movements were smooth like flowing water, with a strong pushback feel!

"Don't worry."

Taking a puff on his cigarette, exhaling slowly, with smoke swirling in the rearview mirror, the uncle's face shadowed, but sharp light visible in his eyes, "I've been driving for forty years, not a single violation, drive fast, stable as hell. In the underworld known as; Capital's little high-speed train!"
