Chapter 358 - 280: Catching Thieves and Finding Stolen Goods_2
"It looks like there’s still room for one more to lie down..."
Li Peifeng glanced at the empty spot between the two girls, feeling tempted, but ultimately didn’t act on it. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to leave the room and go upstairs to work.
There’s no need to wake them up; they’re sleeping well. Just take a video for evidence. When Manning gets back, if Wu Wenyue dares to complain about him, he can show this little video to Xu Manning and stir things up again...
"Actually, I can let Wenyue see the video first when she wakes up. This is like a strategic weapon; I promise never to use the video first, haha~"
Li Peifeng chuckled and shook his head. He was about to leave when a faint sound stopped him in his tracks.
It sounded like the sleep talk of Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan, or maybe he heard their inner thoughts through the "Shared Dream"?
Huang Tianxuan: "Narnia is located in the Demon Gate Star System. Can it be observed from the Milky Way Galaxy... Ah, so far away, magic cannot exceed the speed of light, so what about using wormholes..."
Wu Wenyue: "Sister, stop studying those things, they’re useless. Let’s hurry up and travel... We didn’t get to visit Yasuraha Island last time, let’s go together this time... Where’s Xiaofeng?"
Huang Tianxuan: "Xiaofeng... why is Xiaofeng in this dream sneaking around, here he comes, all dazed, like a big fool... Let’s go, let’s go."
Wu Wenyue: "It’s good to be a fool, fools are more obedient."
"Even dreaming you’re mocking me?!"
Li Peifeng frowned, approached the bedside, and carefully observed their faces, noticing their eyes moving rapidly beneath their eyelids...
Are they in a Shared Dream?
How are you two having a Shared Dream?!
When did this happen?
Li Peifeng was utterly confused, no matter how he tried to figure it out, he couldn’t find a reason for Huang Tianxuan and Wu Wenyue having a Shared Dream.
Because he didn’t let them smell the perfume, after applying the Breath of the Nether Sea, he went directly to Zhao Qingge’s bedroom and only came out briefly to give Wu Wenyue some sweet soup. They might have caught a whiff of the Breath of the Nether Sea scent then, but smelling it for such a short time shouldn’t have allowed for a Shared Dream.
Just as Li Peifeng was puzzled, he twitched his nose a couple of times, froze for a moment, then decisively turned up his Sharp Sense of Smell to the maximum, detecting a faint scent in the room, and finally understood.
"I applied the perfume in this bedroom, and because the windows were shut, there was no air circulation, so the scent lingered, and when they fell asleep in here, they smelled the Breath of the Nether Sea and thus had a Shared Dream!"
So this was what I overlooked!
Li Peifeng felt somewhat frustrated, quickly walked to the window to open it, allowing the remaining scent of the Nether Sea to disperse faster, all while feeling a bit apprehensive.
If everyone goes to bed tonight, who knows if the two girls will join Zhao Qingge and him in a Shared Dream...
"They probably won’t, after all, Tianxuan and Wu Wenyue only smelled a little bit remaining in the bedroom, and they’ve already had a Shared Dream now. Based on their conversation, it seems the dream felt less real because of the minimal perfume they smelled, so the probability of a second Shared Dream should be lower."
But even so, it’s a potential problem. Li Peifeng felt uneasy and a bit annoyed because his plan to have a Shared Dream with Old Zhao at night was in jeopardy!
He pulled open the curtains, grabbed the double blanket, and with a huff flipped it up, grumbling quietly, "Stop sleeping, wake up. Who told you to sleep in this room? Do you have any shame sleeping together like this?!"
"Uh... hmm."
The blanket flew up high, yet neither girl showed any intention of opening their eyes; they just turned over or covered themselves out of habit and continued to sleep!
"Get up."
Li Peifeng was unceremonious, kicked Huang Tianxuan on the buttock after taking off his shoes, which woke her up in a daze.
"Who?! What time is it?"
Li Peifeng ignored her, turned to Wu Wenyue, and gave her a nudge, "You too, get up!"
"Ah..."
Wu Wenyue groaned softly, rubbing her face as she slowly opened her eyes, seemingly still caught between dream and reality. She blinked her eyes repeatedly and hugged her pillow, apparently still wanting to sleep.
"Wake up!!"
Li Peifeng directly helped Wu Wenyue rub her face, teasingly saying, "Explain yourself first before going back to sleep!"
"Xiao... Xiaofeng?!"
Wu Wenyue, with her face being rubbed back and forth, woke up completely and got a bit grumpy, complaining, "What are you doing? I was dreaming, get out!"
Li Peifeng chuckled instead of getting angry, "You’re quite bold?!"
"What do you want, waking me up like this?!" Wu Wenyue was still displeased, "You kicked me so many times last night; can’t I catch up on sleep? I just dreamed of the Otherworld again, was about to remember a few more songs, and you woke me up; are you nuts?!"
"Haha!"
Li Peifeng sneered and pulled Huang Tianxuan, who was silently sitting up, to her side, "Catching up on sleep is fine, but why are you two sleeping together in the same bed? Give me a reasonable explanation!"
"..."
Huang Tianxuan, propped up by Wu Wenyue’s arm, struggled to sit up, calmly tidying her somewhat disheveled long hair, nervously staring at the wall opposite the bed, refusing to meet Wu Wenyue’s eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Wu Wenyue was dumbfounded, looking at Huang Tianxuan in astonishment, "Sister Tianxuan, were you sleeping with me?"
Huang Tianxuan averted her eyes, softly saying, "After you lay down, I suddenly felt sleepy too and couldn’t resist, so I lay down as well..."
As she spoke, she glanced at their still intact clothing, feeling slightly emboldened, and directed her gaze at Li Peifeng, unhappy, "What’s wrong with two girls sleeping in the same bed? It’s not like we’re doing anything else. Why are you so angry?!"
"Yeah, exactly!"
Wu Wenyue waved him off; although her confidence was evidently lacking, her tone was somewhat hostile, "Get out; go wash the vegetables first. I’ll cook later. After eating, we have to do some stair climbing for exercise."
"Acting like nothing happened, just brushing it off?"
Li Peifeng raised his eyebrows, "But while you were sleeping, I took a video, so it’s not that simple to move on."
He paused, then added seriously, "Wenyue, if you think it’s alright for two girls to sleep together, why not show this video to Manning?"
"Are you human at all?!"
Wu Wenyue’s face changed drastically, "I haven’t even told Manning about your stuff, and you’re considering backstabbing me?"
Li Peifeng remained composed, "I don’t intend to rat you out, but if you think it’s no big deal for two girls to sleep together, showing it to Manning shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wenyue, what are you afraid of?"
Wu Wenyue was genuinely scared and somewhat in a panic, reaching into Li Peifeng’s pocket, "Give me your phone and let me delete it!" She also urged Huang Tianxuan, "You too, help me, grab his phone!"
"Okay."
Even though Huang Tianxuan agreed verbally, she remained lazily motionless on the bed, and after finishing tidying her hair and then her clothes, she watched their tussle with great interest.
[Overall, I feel that letting Manning see the video would be more amusing, thinking what she’d feel knowing her two companions are acting ambiguously with me? Haha, her little face would puff up with anger like it’s about to explode! Ah, sister, I don’t mean to steal your men or women, but what can I do when I’ve got too much charm?!]
Hmm, Huang Tianxuan was narcissistically admiring herself.
"Stop struggling; you can’t win against me."
On her own, Wu Wenyue was no match for Li Peifeng, who stepped back, moving out of Wu Wenyue’s ’attack zone,’ and calmly consoled, "Rest assured, I’m not that despicable. As long as Brother Yue doesn’t threaten me, I won’t show the video to Manning, but I do have a small condition..."
Wu Wenyue didn’t even listen before refusing outright, "I don’t agree, I’d rather you show Manning the video, for she would surely trust me more deeply than she does you!"
"No need to jump to conclusions; hear my condition first."
"..."
With furrowed brows, Wu Wenyue reluctantly showed a willingness to listen.
Li Peifeng sat down on the bed, glanced at the closed door, and looked at them both, before whispering cryptically, "Let me join you next time."
Wu Wenyue froze for a moment, "What?"
Huang Tianxuan hesitated, "You can’t mean?"
Li Peifeng nodded candidly, "Yes, if you two want to sleep in the same bed next time, whether it’s a nap or at night, you must let me join!"
"..."
