My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 201 - 186: Oh No, I’m Doomed! (Part 2)

Xu Manning was silent for a moment, her expression changing several times in a short span, before finally sighing lightly, "It still has meaning."

"What?"

"If they also had this dream, then it means that what they said in the dream is real, which means that the two of us have already been betrayed by him now. They've indeed hooked up with him, like when he went on a business trip and secretly went shopping and kissed with Huang Tianxuan in Hangzhou, or when he fell for his own teacher in a dream, and the two of them secretly messed around in the office."

Is that called messing around? It was only a kiss...

Li Peifeng grumbled internally but didn't dare argue, as arguing would be equivalent to admitting it!

After hearing Xu Manning's words, Wu Wenyue stared blankly at the dining table without saying a word. After a moment, she looked at Li Peifeng, her expression unprecedentedly calm, even slightly indifferent, "Do you have anything you want to say?"

"..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Li Peifeng lowered his eyelids, focusing intently on peeling an egg without making a sound.

Xu Manning also remained silent, her gaze first resting on Wu Wenyue's face, then slowly turning to gaze at Li Peifeng, and finally averting her eyes back to Wu Wenyue. Her lips parted slightly and moved a bit, but ultimately, she couldn't say anything.

The air around the three of them was almost at a standstill, the tension visibly heavy.

A feeling of unease spontaneously emerged in Li Peifeng's heart, and he forced a smile, placing the peeled eggs into Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue's bowls, "Have some eggs."

"..."

The two girls continued to stare at him, making Li Peifeng even more uneasy. He stood up and grabbed an unpeeled egg, exclaiming with surprise to Xu Manning, "Almost forgot, today is your birthday, the birthday star should roll the egg for luck first, here, let me help you..."

He said, placing the egg on Xu Manning's body, pretending to roll it.

"Get lost!"

But seeing his reaction, the girl already had her answer in her heart, and she suddenly trembled all over, as if what Li Peifeng put on her wasn't an egg, but some kind of disgusting slimy creature. She shoved Li Peifeng away, "Stay away from me!"

"Pa~"

The boiled egg fell from Li Peifeng's hand to the floor, its shell shattered, the egg flattened considerably, the white of the egg and its yolk faintly visible through the broken shell.

Just like someone who committed suicide by jumping off a building...

"You even know it's my birthday today?"

Xu Manning trembled slightly, her gaze, within less than two seconds, turning from deepened disdain to unprecedented hatred, her eyes suddenly reddening, tears the size of beans falling incessantly.

"Don't..." Li Peifeng was at a loss for what to do.

Xu Manning pouted her lower lip, covering her face with both hands, and let out a cry she could no longer suppress, a trembling, wounded animal-like wail that echoed painfully in the silent room.

"In the dream, I thought... I thought it was just a dream... How could you really do that... Going to Huang Tianxuan while dating both of us... even with your own teacher!"

"I, I gave you everything, Yueyue and I love you to the bone... we even humbly set schedules to spend time with you... Yesterday, we both gave you ourselves again... even thinking of not marrying in this life... as long as it's the three of us... But you, you treat us this way..."

Wu Wenyue held Xu Manning in her arms, kissing her cheeks and tears, softly comforting, "I'm still here."

Xu Manning buried in Wu Wenyue's embrace, her crying never ceasing, weeping in heartache and grievance, "I hate him so much, Yueyue, I hate him so much..."

Wu Wenyue glanced at Li Peifeng, speaking indifferently, "You should go."

Li Peifeng looked down at the unfortunate egg, staying silent. He felt that the "go" from Wu Wenyue probably meant more than just leaving the house and going to school.

This time, he might end up like that egg, completely finished!

...

...

The sky outside was overcast, with a drizzly rain falling, small puddles forming in the uneven parts of the road, countless raindrops creating splashes on the surface.

"Once awake from the dream, horizons part, hearing petals fall against the window."

Li Peifeng walked in the rain without an umbrella, on the road towards the classroom within the campus, his mood as gloomy as the weather.

Dreams are just dreams, beautiful, fragile, romantic yet without an ending.

No matter how beautiful the dream, there comes a day when one must wake up.

While in the dream, people overlook its absurdities and unfaceable contradictions, simply enjoying the beauty within,

The soul is wrapped around by the wind, forgetting one is merely a traveling guest, to enjoy a moment's preference. But when the dream ends, one finds the body pierced by the cold and hard reality once again.

The once hoped for resolution through dreams for that irreconcilable problem, is like water disappearing in the rain, all so illusory and ripple-free, instead dragging oneself into a deeper predicament.

"The rain is getting heavier."

At this moment, the drizzle in the sky suddenly turned into a torrential downpour, yet Li Peifeng maintained his leisurely pace, his heartache turning him into a poet, not minding the frigid rain of late autumn.

But halfway along to the classroom, he sadly realized that not only his outer clothes, but even his underwear, was soaking wet...

"I'm like a little moth, always striving to plunge into this inferno of life!"

"So you don't use an umbrella?"

Li Peifeng muttered to himself, not expecting a response, and suddenly found half of his body shielded from the rain—someone had come with an umbrella!

Li Peifeng turned his head with surprise, "Instructor?"
