Chapter 341 - 273: All Acquainted
We pursue or attract others to be our partners because we need someone to accompany us, take care of us, understand us, support us, accept us, appreciate us, touch us, and cuddle with us as we sleep.
But when a partner conflicts with you, doesn’t support you, or even hates you, people start seeking support and comfort from their friends around them.
Li Peifeng couldn’t avoid this, but he was also out of his mind to ask He Yimeng for help in solving his current predicament. Although the other party is a professional at this as a psychological counselor, regardless of her being a woman or an old acquaintance, her stance is clear, and she can’t possibly help him.
On the contrary, He Yimeng gossiped a bit, questioning, "I don’t quite understand, didn’t Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning already accept this relationship? I saw them getting along pretty well. Why are you having conflicts again? What’s at the root of the problem?"
"Is it because of the inevitable ultimate choice, or is it still because of your chronic kidney issue?" He Yimeng’s tone wasn’t mocking but full of genuine concern...
Li Peifeng decisively denied, "Neither!"
"Listen to my advice, break it off sooner rather than later. From the start, I felt this one-man-two-woman relationship of yours wouldn’t last long."
He Yimeng seemed genuinely concerned for Li Peifeng, and worriedly said, "Men and women have different physiological conditions; women’s needs increase with age, while men’s decrease. Peifeng, you’re not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy anymore; even handling just me back then was a struggle."
"Now being partners with two girls, can you handle it? Sister Yue is also an athlete, and girls who love to exercise have more needs. When you can’t meet your partner’s needs, with time, emotional cracks will only get bigger... Ah! Are you deliberately digging your own grave?"
Li Peifeng sneered, "Shut up, reverse psychology doesn’t work on me. Saying so much, aren’t you just trying to provoke my rebellious nature and make me get all beastly with you? I refuse!"
He Yimeng was momentarily at a loss for words, then couldn’t help but turn her hand into a small fist and lightly tap Li’s back, reproachfully saying, "What do I even say to someone as brilliantly dumb as you with a high IQ of 250? You’re simply worse than a beast."
Li Peifeng gave He Yimeng a ride on his bike, taking a nostalgic lap around that summer, exchanging a few playful banters, and when they heard the broadcast from the loudspeaker, they quickly turned back.
"Nucleic acid testing for all residents in Building 1 is about to be completed. Now, residents of Building 2, please prepare to go downstairs for testing."
Li Peifeng sped along like the wind, the wheels smoking, going at least thirty miles per hour, faster than a regular electric bike.
He Yimeng knew he was afraid that their being seen together would be witnessed by Wu Wenyue, so she didn’t say anything, just hugged Li Peifeng’s waist tightly, savoring the speed and thrill.
Finally, using the advantage of the bicycle, the two arrived first at the community gate’s nucleic acid testing point before the Building 2 residents came out, catching the last few people from Building 1 who hadn’t finished testing yet.
"You go ahead."
"What about you? There aren’t many people now; you might as well queue up too."
"I’ll go check on my... guests at home."
Li Peifeng turned back, stood up and pedaled fiercely again to Building 2’s entrance, waiting for less than a minute when he saw the figures of three girls among the bustling crowd, and they saw him too.
Wu Wenyue came forward and handed over a set of car keys, speaking in a lowered voice, "Mu An’an will come later to deliver the computer and pajamas. I’ll have her call you when she reaches the fence beside Building 2, then you can give her the key."
"Okay."
Next was Huang Tianxuan and Zhao Qingge, both telling Li Peifeng that someone would come over to deliver something later.
"I have a lot of luggage, so I can’t go downstairs; I’ll have to trouble you to make several trips." Huang Tianxuan spoke politely, and Li Peifeng said it’s his duty.
Zhao Qingge calmly said, "You don’t have much food at home, so besides the luggage, I also had someone buy some vegetables, fruits, and meats to send over. Be careful when picking it up so others don’t get the wrong idea."
"Understood!"
Old Zhao, being the oldest, was indeed more thoughtful, not only sending his luggage but also some supplies.
The three girls seemed to have forgotten about the previous unpleasantness, not in the mood to give Li Peifeng a hard time, get angry, but rather began to focus on facing the upcoming days of forced cohabitation.
But once the lockdown lifts, the problems remain...
"Boredom is boredom; maybe I should take this opportunity to have all three bear my children?"
"Once the rice is cooked, all problems will naturally be solved, right?"
At the thought of this, Li Peifeng himself was startled, shivering all over, taking a deep breath: "Oh Li Peifeng, you’re really cupping fire on your bottom, fiercely courting death!"
A bit terrifying, Li felt an inkling of a frightening realization for the first time: that he lacked any moral bottom line. So, he chose to bury himself in work to numb his mind!
"Riding my beloved little bicycle, it will never get stuck in traffic~"
Alone, biking around the Jade District, Li Peifeng resembled the wind—stopping anyone from trying to sneak downstairs early for nucleic acid testing.
"Comrade, please follow the epidemic prevention guidelines, don’t make it difficult for me."
Luckily, he didn’t encounter any unreasonable people. After a little persuasion, they returned upstairs.
As he was busy patrolling, He Yimeng, having just finished her nucleic acid test, also met Wu Wenyue and the others queuing up...
