My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 320 - 264: Hearts in Harmony!! (Part 2)

"Oh, maybe I was just hallucinating."

Xu Manning chuckled self-deprecatingly. Her female assistant thoughtfully suggested, "Why don’t you take a nap, President Xu? We still have a while before getting off."

"I’m not sleepy, I slept quite soundly yesterday."

As she spoke, Xu Manning’s face slightly reddened, and at the same time, her phone chimed with a WeChat message. She picked it up and looked...

Li Peifeng: "Are you on the high-speed train?"

Xu Manning’s eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly open, and she typed back in puzzlement: "How did you know?"

Li Peifeng: "Soft sleeper, four people, three women and one man. You just made a phone call with someone surnamed Liu."

What the heck?!

Shock made Xu Manning’s grip on her phone unstable. Once she recovered, her mind swarmed with questions. Could Li Peifeng be...

"Which carriage are you in?!!!"

Excited, Xu Manning immediately stood up and peeked outside the door, trying to spot a familiar figure, but to no avail. She then felt it was impossible.

Besides her subordinates, neither Wu Wenyue nor Li Peifeng could have known about her trip. She hadn’t specially mentioned it, so there was no chance he had gone to the trouble of flying over and boarding the same train just to surprise her.

"Then... this?"

Xu Manning walked along the train aisle, glancing into each cabin, feeling ever more doubtful. Checking her phone again, Li Peifeng had said, ’Stop looking.’

He even knows I’m looking for him?!

Without hesitation, Xu Manning called Li Peifeng on video.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Honey! How did you know?"

On the screen, Li Peifeng was sitting in the bedroom, smiling, "Did I really guess right?"

"Yes!" Seeing him at home, Xu Manning exclaimed, "Not a single bit off. How did you know?" Then her expression changed, and she blurted out, "Was it my mom leaking information? No, she didn’t know whom I was calling earlier... Wait, do you know Yingying? Did she tell you just now?"

"Who’s Yingying?"

"My female assistant! When did you two meet?" Xu Manning started questioning, "Was it the last time you came to the factory to see me..."

"Where are you going with this!" Li Peifeng hurriedly interrupted, "Believe it or not, I was just typing, and suddenly this scene popped into my mind of you on the train making the call. It felt strange, so I wanted to ask if you were really on the train... I actually guessed right?"

Li Peifeng looked genuinely surprised, appearing incredulous.

"It’s true!"

Xu Manning wasn’t sure what to say, feeling both surprised and delighted but couldn’t help being skeptical, "Are you sure Yingying didn’t tattle on me?"

"I don’t even know who Yingying is! Perhaps it’s just telepathy... Hey, I see it again!"

Li Peifeng shouted, "Don’t look at the screen, look out the window, is there a river in the distance?"

Xu Manning’s gaze focused as she turned slightly to look out the window. In the distance, there was a bright river winding down, the water shimmering under the sunlight, calm like a mirror, yet her heart was roaring like a storm!

"There is, really?"

Xu Manning’s mouth dropped open in disbelief. She looked back at the screen after a few seconds, confirmed it was the front camera, and hadn’t captured the outside. She began to babble, "How did you see that? Honey... Li Peifeng? Are you psychic or a magician?"

"Maybe it’s because I miss you so much."

Li Peifeng sighed softly, "It’s said the distance of yearning is less than the certainty of the tide, the depth of love beyond the sea. Four days without seeing you feels like a year has passed. This intense longing made me sense your scene even from thousands of miles away... Perhaps this is having a connection with you, heart to heart."

"Really?" Xu Manning pouted, touched yet still a bit skeptical, "It’s only been four days."

"Then how do you explain that I could sense you?"

Li Peifeng seemed to complain, "You don’t even miss me. Even if you miss me, it’s not as much as I miss you. Otherwise, you’d feel this telepathy and see what I’m doing."

This unreasonable act isn’t exclusive to women; guys can definitely use it on their girlfriends too!

"... I miss you."

Xu Manning immediately started to speak coyly, "Honey~ don’t be mad, listen, after I hung up the phone, I also heard you call me ’dear.’ I thought I was hallucinating, but this counts as my telepathy with you, right?"

"Barely counts, but it’s not enough!" Li Peifeng said dissatisfied, "I saw your surroundings and you didn’t, it still shows you don’t miss me enough!"

Xu Manning was at a loss for words and tried to change the subject, "I bought lots of gifts for you and Yueyue this trip, I’ll give them to you when I get back."

"Is it just for me, or are the gifts the same for both of us?"

Xu Manning felt wronged, "Not the same, I bought two more for you, okay? You’re jealous of Yueyue?"

"What should I do if I miss you now?"

"What do you suggest?"

Miss Xu was also troubled, "I’m more than a thousand kilometers away from the Capital now, I can’t go back in a short while, at least not for another week..."

Li Peifeng snorted, "Say ’I love you’ nine times, in different tones for each one. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll get mad!"

Xu Manning immediately lowered her volume, looked around her compartment, saw her subordinates hadn’t come out, but her face was still flushed, "You’re so annoying, I won’t say it!"

"Won’t say it? Then I’m hanging up!"
