Chapter 282 245: Flying Too Low
Thanks to the super driving skills of the Capital's mini high-speed train, at 8:40, within six minutes, Li Peifeng returned to the barbecue restaurant, just in time to catch the owner serving them dishes.
"You got back pretty fast."
"Did you order the crayfish and beef skewers?" Xu Manning motioned toward the plate of spicy crayfish.
"Yes, I ordered a few more dishes to go with the red wine."
Inside the room, it was unclear what the three girls talked about while he was away, but they somehow ended up sitting together again.
Li Peifeng didn't mind, asked the lady for new wine glasses, and then opened the red wine.
"Shall we all drink?"
The three girls' eyes casually swept over the dark red wine bottle as Wu Wenyue urged, "Just pour the wine."
"No rush, let's let it breathe first."
The barbecue restaurant didn't have a decanter since the patrons there didn't usually drink wine. The lady had to use a large empty beer mug as a stand-in.
Watching the dark red liquid slowly pour in, the room suddenly fell silent. When the glass was full, only a thin layer of wine was left in the bottle.
"Leave the rest for me."
Huang Tianxuan got up to take the glass, saying, "Remind me to take it when we leave. If we really have a Shared Dream this time, I'll use the leftover wine as a sample for testing."
"Take it."
Li Peifeng, unconcerned, glanced at his phone, "It took about twenty minutes to decant last time, so the same this time... Here, have some beer first."
With that, he raised his glass as if to toast, but no one responded.
They'd almost finished the fresh beer earlier, so Li Peifeng ordered four more large glasses. The three girls were starting to feel too full to drink.
"There's still red wine to drink later, I don't want it." Xu Manning bluntly pushed her large glass of fresh beer to Li Peifeng, with three-quarters still remaining.
Wu Wenyue also waved it off, "You drink it yourself, we drank a lot while you were away, you're behind."
"Alright."
Li Peifeng took another big gulp.
As the saying goes, the more water you drink, the colder you get; the more wine you drink, the warmer you feel. After that gulp, Li really did feel a bit hot, so he took off his jacket and started eating on his own.
Meanwhile, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning began discussing tomorrow's shooting plans, brainstorming creative ideas for the video. Huang Tianxuan occasionally chimed in with suggestions.
The air conditioning in the private room was silently working, blowing warm air directly above Li Peifeng's head, gently stirring the Nether Sea breath on him.
In a matter of two to three minutes, the faint, subtle fragrance of fresh oranges, mixed with a salty yet distant sea breeze scent, filled the room, gently cloaking every corner, masking the barbecue smell on the table.
The three girls seemed to have a telepathic connection, pausing their heated discussion on filming topics.
"I feel a bit light-headed."
Wu Wenyue took a sip of fresh beer, looked at the liquor in the glass, and her dazed gaze inadvertently swept past Li Peifeng still eating the skewers, exhaling lightly, "What's the alcohol content? It shouldn't be like this."
"I feel a bit too." Huang Tianxuan propped a hand against her forehead, catching a glimpse of Li as she recalled what happened between them in the bathroom earlier, smiling to herself.
She wondered if this player rinsed his mouth when he got home. If he did, she might let him taste the garlic peel again in the bathroom later...
"Peifeng~"
Xu Manning's eyes were also fixed on Li Peifeng, unabashedly reaching her leg under the table to nudge him, speaking softly, "Help me peel the crayfish, I can't do it."
Li Peifeng carefully observed the three girls' reactions, noting the gazes fixed on him, either filled with emotion, dazed and ambiguous, or coy and charming...
Should this driver be ready to accelerate?
Understanding the situation, he said, "Too far, can't reach. Ask Wenyue to help you peel."
Before Xu Manning could speak, Wu Wenyue stood up with her glass, silently moving to sit on Li Peifeng's left side, placing her glass down, "You drink the rest, I'll have some red wine later."
Does she want to give me the drink or sit beside me?
Li Peifeng felt it was the latter but wasn't sure, so he blinked and probed, "Aren't you going to peel shrimp for Manning?"
Wu Wenyue shifted her chair closer to him, then with the other two girls watching, directly leaned against Li Peifeng, eyes barely open, "I'm a bit dizzy, you do it for her."
Wu Wenyue was indeed a bit dizzy, not sure why suddenly flashes of scenes from the dream with several people together flitted through her mind, disjointed, with every image coated in a dreamy, beautiful longing...
"Yueyue!"
Xu Manning's eyes widened, her mouth pouting in anger.
"Let him peel it, same thing."
Wu Wenyue rolled her eyes, seemingly embarrassed or too lazy to meet Xu Manning's stare, slightly turned her head to rest it against Li Peifeng's temple, softly murmured in his ear, "Peel one for me first, I want to eat."
It's rare for Brother Yue to ask for something in such a softened manner, so Li Peifeng peeled a crayfish without a word, quickly and deftly, dipped the shrimp meat in the bright red sauce, and brought it directly to her mouth, "Here."
"..."
Wu Wenyue's eyes showed satisfaction as she parted her lips to eat the shrimp but accidentally ended up enclosing Li Peifeng's two fingers.
Li felt his fingers enveloped in her warm, moist mouth as her pointed tongue licked the sauce clean from his fingers before slowly releasing them...
"Mmm."
After chewing and swallowing, Wu Wenyue lightly nodded, her tongue swirling around to lick the red oil from her lips, with only Li Peifeng in her phoenix eyes, smiling sweetly, "It's alright."
"Alright? It was supposed to be mine first!"
Miss Xu watched the whole scene through gritted teeth, then picked up a used napkin from the table, scrunched it into a ball, and hurled it at the two, "Go away!!"
But her aim was slightly off, the paper ball flew over Wu Wenyue's head, she didn't mind, instead, she went even further, sitting with legs crossed, arms wrapped around Li Peifeng's waist, resting her upper body on him, eyes watching the red wine in the large beer mug, puzzled, "Did you time it? Is it almost ready?"
"Ten more minutes."
Li Peifeng's hands continued, and with the experience from the first, peeling the second shrimp was even faster, not even needing to look.
But when he saw Xu Manning across, forming another paper ball, her face filled with hatred, aiming to throw it again, he couldn't help but chuckle, "You're too far. Come sit over here; I'm peeling it for you now."
"I won't eat anymore! Wuka~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Manning's paper ball flew over as well, and she was chanting the incantation for the Burning Skill. Perhaps because of the spell's enhancement, it was quite accurate this time, hitting Li Peifeng's left cheek before bouncing off to the ground.
"Stop messing around. If you don't come to us, we'll come to you. Is that okay?"
Although it didn't hurt, continually being 'magically attacked' by Xu Manning wasn't a long-term solution, so Li Peifeng decisively pulled Wu Wenyue over to sit across from them.
"Bring over the tableware too."
Now Li Peifeng was sitting in the middle, Wu Wenyue to his left, Xu Manning to his right, and Huang Tianxuan was sitting by the window on Wu Wenyue's side.
"Here, eat this."
After the seats were rearranged, Li Peifeng had finished peeling a shrimp and handed it to Xu Manning by her mouth.
"No way!"
Miss Xu still harbored a grudge: "Give it to her. You can let her eat it all!"
Wu Wenyue crossed her legs once more, wrapped an arm around Li Peifeng's waist, and chuckled, "Are you sure? Then, Xiaofeng, give the shrimp to me..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Manning took a swift bite, shrimp and hand included, making Li Peifeng cry out in pain, "Xu Gou, are you crazy?"
After about two seconds, Miss Xu finally released with a sense of satisfaction and, with the shrimp in her mouth, mumbled, "Neither of you treats me well. If we ever have a Shared Dream again, see how I'll deal with you in it!"
"What kind of pet are you that needs so much pampering? Should we help you with everything?"
Wu Wenyue retorted with disdain, while Li Peifeng leaned closer to Xu Manning, asking face-to-face, "So tell us, how are you planning to deal with us in your dream?"
"I'll bite you to death first."
As soon as she said "you," Xu Manning opened her mouth and bit down on Li Peifeng's lower lip.
Miss Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, unable to hide the charming allure in her autumn-like gaze.
At the same time, she reached out with both hands, tightly hugging Li Peifeng's waist, even wanting to rest her legs across his lap...
"With that taste of food in your mouths, how can you two even do this?"
Wu Wenyue curled her lip in distaste, holding a peeled crayfish meant for Xu Manning in an attempt to stop her from acting up again, believing that demanding babies get the attention. But now, Wu Wenyue placed it on Huang Tianxuan's plate instead.
"Sister Tianxuan, give this a try."
"...Hmm."
Acknowledging Wu Wenyue's kind gesture absentmindedly, Huang Tianxuan didn't even look. Her eyes remained fixed on the two people kissing, simmering with hidden anger.
Too much, damn it, Li Peifeng, you've gone too far — you've disrespected your ancestors eighteen generations back!
Ten minutes ago, you were with me... Now, ten minutes later, you're with her...
You're making me watch this? Even if it was done discreetly, this is just shameless!
"Is this enough?"
Even Wu Wenyue couldn't stand it anymore and elbowed Li Peifeng, "That's enough, I'll peel you a shrimp. Stop taking it from Manning's mouth."
The two had been kissing for a while, during which Wu Wenyue had peeled two shrimps. Hearing her protest, they finally parted, but Xu Manning still had her leg draped over Li Peifeng and her arms around his waist, practically sitting on him.
"Conjoined twins?"
Wu Wenyue joked sarcastically but still considerately handed a shrimp to Li Peifeng, waiting for him to eat it before taking another and leaning slightly to bring it to Xu Manning's mouth, "Here, to keep you from biting people randomly."
"I'll bite whomever I want."
Xu Manning replied nonchalantly, taking the shrimp along with Wu Wenyue's fingers into her mouth, with a defiant yet bashful look in her eyes, muttering, "I'll even bite you."
Wu Wenyue's lips curled upwards as if she intended to laugh. Seeing Xu Manning not letting go immediately, she leaned in further towards Li Peifeng, sending her index and middle fingers slightly deeper into Xu Manning's mouth, her gaze indulgent and her tone light yet firm, "Clean it up."
Xu Manning's cheeks flushed several degrees deeper, and she let out a nearly inaudible hum, her eyes gazing at Wu Wenyue as if they were about to melt, her cheeks slightly puffing.
"You're impossible!"
This scene?!
Li Peifeng took a sip of wine, trying to calm himself down, but as Wu Wenyue leaned heavily towards him to feed Xu Manning the shrimp, her incredibly detailed face was right in front of him, unavoidable, and filling his view.
"..."
Similarly, Wu Wenyue's view was filled with Li Peifeng. Even though her hand was still inside Xu Manning's mouth, it didn't stop her from watching him. The usually spirited and decisive brow and eyes now revealed a certain intense desire and possessiveness.
"Xiaofeng..."
"Hmm, uh?"
Their lips met, and Wu Wenyue closed her eyes, launching the first wave of attack, with Li Peifeng's pupils dilating passively.
Hugging Xu Manning, kissing Wu Wenyue, and being fed by them both...
Of course, the three had shared plenty of moments similar to this privately, with some even a hundred times more daring, but Li Peifeng still had his eyes on Huang Tianxuan!
She's just sitting there, watching, did they forget about her?
"You've all forgotten about me, truly!"
Huang Tianxuan's face burned red, but her expression remained stoic as she coldly ordered, "No more eating! Shut up!"
Then, she grasped the table, trying to flip it, but it was too heavy and didn't budge.
The three continued without stopping!
"Argh!"
Huang Tianxuan was so frustrated she could hardly speak, her teeth grinding, wanting to bite into something, preferably... human flesh!
Li Peifeng's flesh, Wu Wenyue's flesh, Xu Manning's flesh!
With some chili flakes, raw and ruthless!!
