My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 274 - 240: Reverse Empty Promises (Part 2)

"No need."

Zhao Qingge sat up straight, leaned back against the sofa, and turned her head to look at him. Seeing that youthful face full of endless charm, her gaze was complex. Two seconds later, she withdrew her gaze, as if whispering, "At this age, I still don't know who I am, I'm still afraid of making any change..."

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Li Peifeng frowned and said, "Is work tiring you out? You can tell me, I can handle the projects, and the first draft is settled. Maybe I'll finish my graduate thesis in a week; there's plenty of time." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"It's not because of these."

Zhao Qingge shook her head gently, and sighed lightly, "I just feel like I'm wasting my life, internally uncertain, constantly changing my mind to the point of self-depletion... I have no confidence, no trust in anything."

Her tone paused slightly, Zhao Qingge showed helplessness, "I don't have confidence in you, and even less confidence in getting them to agree."

"Take it slow, if you have no confidence, I have it, I'll share some with you!"

Zhao Qingge ignored him, seeming to be reminiscing about something. Li Peifeng asked for a while before she hesitantly said, "Actually, now that I think about it, compared to reality, the dream was quite interesting, bizarre, magical, and absurd..."

Li Peifeng blinked, "Really?! You also think so?!!"

"I speak of the one we had for the first time." Zhao Qingge's gaze suddenly sharpened, glared at him, making Li Peifeng, who couldn't help but smile, freeze: "Yes, I didn't say the second one."

Zhao Qingge was silent for a moment, suddenly asked, "Are you still in contact with them?"

"..."

Silence was already the answer. Under Zhao Qingge's gaze, Li Peifeng didn't want to lie. Seeing his reaction, Zhao Qingge showed a disappointed expression as if expecting it, "That's why I lack confidence in you."

Li Peifeng didn't speak, just held her hand a bit tighter.

"Let go!"

Zhao Qingge struggled and scolded but couldn't make Li relent and gave up helplessly, "Shameless to the extreme!"

"...My teeth are still good."

Being witty was useless, Zhao Qingge was still angry and ignored him. They sat there on the sofa in the living room for nearly five or six minutes without speaking.

Li Peifeng covertly glanced at the time, 6:40.

He was a bit anxious, estimating that Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning would be off work soon too. It was better to go early for peace of mind, otherwise sitting with Old Zhao was just wasting time...

"I'm sorry."

Zhao Qingge suddenly smiled and even apologized?

Li Peifeng thought he was hallucinating, looked at her face, tense and surprised, "What are you apologizing for out of the blue?"

He felt that Old Zhao was in a weird state today, maybe because of the perfume?

It must be, she was speaking more, her thoughts were wandering, emotional, like having drunk wine...

"Is being with me very tiring?"

"No, it's quite comfortable."

"Sometimes... I'm not honest enough." Zhao Qingge finished, showing embarrassment, as if being honest about her lack of honesty was already an incredibly difficult thing.

"Mua~"

Li Peifeng tilted his head to kiss her, thinking it shocked me, and smiled on his face, "That's already a big change, admitting you're not honest is a sign of honesty now, and when I kiss you, you don't close your eyes."

Zhao Qingge's lips moved slightly as if wanting to say something but didn't say it. She took off her high heels, curled her legs to sit on the sofa, pressed her dress down lightly with her hands, and sighed again quietly.

"What's wrong with you today? Just say what you want to say."

Li Peifeng was baffled. Zhao Qingge lifted her eyelids to glance at him, quickly lowered them, turned to sit sideways, her black stocking-clad calves and feet facing Li. She raised her eyes again, saw Li Peifeng looking at her concernedly, and frowned slightly, "Am I really getting old?"

"No, wait a moment."

Li Peifeng was initially puzzled, but hearing Old Zhao repeatedly talk about aging, he got ready to fetch Peiyuan Pill to give her, just to see. Yet Zhao Qingge stretched out her foot to lightly touch his thigh, lowered her head, uncertainly questioned again, "I'm really not old?"

"..."

Li Peifeng's heart moved, placed his hand on that black stocking-covered foot, rubbed it, his five fingers sliding from the foot to the calf, then further up...

Definitely not old, the feel, so tender.

But such rogue words couldn't be spoken, Li Peifeng also realized, no wonder Zhao felt uneasy after dinner without his touch, she started self-doubting her charm?

If you'd said earlier, I'd have rushed in earlier...

"Don't take off!"

Zhao Qingge's face turned slightly red, trying to press her dress down but couldn't resist Li Peifeng gradually leaning toward her.

"If you ever feel old, call me Daddy, that'll make you definitely younger... ah."

His tongue got bitten.

Li was also annoyed: "You're still not honest enough. I'm going to punish you severely!"

With that, he picked up Zhao Qingge and strode toward the bedroom.

...

Actually, Li Peifeng couldn't bear to punish her.

He just wanted to sing for love with her, but Old Zhao clearly wasn't ready yet, making Li Peifeng's wish for them to be open with each other difficult.

The black stockings were pulled off, but the dress remained the impenetrable barrier, losing a button off the front of the shirt didn't stop Old Zhao from guarding with her hands, though she did offer a timeline for removing the two barriers...

At least after Li Peifeng graduates!

Eh, the good days were still far, far, far away!

"You're drawing me a pie!"

Li Peifeng felt quite down, tasted for the first time the unpleasantness of being drawn a pie by someone!
