My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 35 - 33: I Really Hid!

7:20.

"I’m back!"

Li Peifeng pushed open the door and called out, but when he entered the room, he found the living room completely dark, and no one responded...

"These two women didn’t really go out to fight, did they?"

Li Peifeng was startled and instinctively pressed the living room light switch. As the light came on, he changed into his slippers and happened to turn his head, only to find Wu Wenyue sitting on the sofa, staring at the ceiling like a statue.

"What’s wrong with you? Did someone boil you? And where’s Xu Manning?"

"..."

Wu Wenyue still didn’t speak, just sighed, but at least looked alive.

Li Peifeng hurried forward, asking nervously, "What happened after I left?"

"A piece of good news..."

Wu Wenyue said slowly, "And two pieces of bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Li Peifeng frowned: "Let’s hear the good news first."

Wu Wenyue ignored him and continued, "The bad news is, Xu Manning wants to move in with us!"

"I said I want to hear the good news."

Li Peifeng was speechless for a moment, then immediately asked, "This apartment is two bedrooms and a living room; it can’t fit three people, unless she shares a bedroom with you... You didn’t agree to that, did you? Are you two back together?"

"I didn’t agree, and we’re not back together either."

Wu Wenyue shook her head lightly: "So now there’s only one bad news and one good news left. Which do you want to hear first?"

Li Peifeng didn’t hesitate: "Good news! I need a break!"

"The second piece of bad news is..."

Wu Wenyue said gloomily: "Xu Manning contacted the landlord through the property management, called them in front of me, and bought this place for eight and a half million, ten percent above the market price. If nothing goes wrong, she’ll finish the formalities with the landlord tomorrow."

Damn, incredible!

What kind of move is this?

This is like Garen buying Last Whisper, leaving people speechless and defenseless!

Li Peifeng was silent for three seconds, then let out a long breath: "Where is she? I need to talk to her; there’s really no need to buy the apartment, we can just room together."

"You can’t persuade her, she’s already gone to move her luggage, saying she’s moving in today."

Wu Wenyue sighed: "I really admire her divine cash abilities, how about you?"

Buying a house as casually as buying groceries did make Li Peifeng a bit intimidated, after a moment’s silence, he said: "After all that, is there any good news?"

"The good news is..."

Wu Wenyue looked at Li Peifeng, smiling: "From now on, Xu Manning is the landlord, so you and I probably won’t have to pay rent anymore."

This is indeed good news. Li Peifeng estimated that if he didn’t have to pay rent, he could save a few thousand bucks in living expenses with Xu Manning each month...

Seeing the corner of his mouth lift, Wu Wenyue teased: "As I thought, Xu Manning moving in is good news for you. Two women living under one roof with you, you must feel pretty happy, right?"

Now that you mention it, I’m really looking forward to it. What’s going on? Feels like jumping from a female-targeted novel into a harem anime.

"Stop joking, let’s talk seriously."

Li Peifeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, saying, "If you feel it’s not going to work, we’ll move out, just like before, the three of us living separately."

Wu Wenyue looked evasive: "I’m not as rich as you, saving rent is a necessity, let’s stay for a while and see, if it doesn’t work, we’ll find another place."

"True."

Li Peifeng contemplated for a few seconds, his expression puzzled: "But what exactly did you two talk about?"

"Talked about a lot, about humanity, about love, about ideals and death."

Wu Wenyue just nodded, "Yeah, we talked about those things."

"So our relationship, she..."

Wu Wenyue’s gaze was sharp: "I didn’t say anything, but she’d rather spend over eight million to buy the house just to live with us. Do you think she figured it out?"

"Even if she did, it wouldn’t justify it."

Li Peifeng pondered, "Manning is wealthy, but she’s always been cautious with her spending, and this amount isn’t insignificant for her either. This doesn’t align with her behavior. What is she thinking?"

"Wants to live with both of us!"

"?"

Face to an uncomprehending Li Peifeng, Wu Wenyue’s expression was quite intriguing: "You have to ask her for specifics. I also don’t understand why she cares so much about you, willing to spend over eight million to buy a place because of you..."

Li Peifeng wrinkled his nose, inhaling the living room air deeply, suspicious: "Didn’t you clean properly? Why can I still smell vinegar?!"

"I’m the one who’s sour!"

Wu Wenyue nodded, then grabbed Li Peifeng’s hand, nibbling and biting, then extending to his neck, both places where he had applied perfume...

"What are you doing?" Li Peifeng’s expression changed.

"..."

Wu Wenyue silently began taking off clothes, hers and including Li Peifeng’s, her eyes holding a complex mix of emotions: "Doing you."

"Are you fucking crazy? Xu Manning will be here any minute, you’re doing this... Who’s the bastard now between us?"

Li Peifeng nervously glanced at the door, feeling he should have taken a shower as soon as he got home. This was definitely the Nether Sea’s issue; otherwise, Wu Wenyue wouldn’t be so irrational.

"She just left, won’t be back so soon."

Wu Wenyue kissed Li Peifeng’s lips, mumbling, "Hurry up, it’ll be inconvenient when Manning moves in later."

"To the bedroom!"

With the last shred of rationality remaining, Li Peifeng dragged Wu Wenyue’s 140-plus pound body into the bedroom.

...

8:10.

"Finally made it!"

Xu Manning arrived at the door with two large suitcases, placed them on the ground, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and tilted her head to ponder.

"What was the password for this door that Yueyue told me before? 98... no."

Thinking for a while, Xu Manning couldn’t be sure, so she decided to try each one by hand.

"982021?"

"No... Ah, I should have asked her to set a fingerprint entry at the time!"

"982120?"

"Not that either..."

Just as she was about to give up unlocking and directly knock on the door, Xu Manning suddenly caught a flash of memory in her mind, her fingers tapped quickly, and the smart security door clicked open.

"980201!"

Xu Manning felt somewhat familiar with this number, and soon realized: "Li Peifeng’s birthday!"

"Hmph, I’ll change it tomorrow. Coincidentally, my birthday is coming up too. It will remind them so they won’t forget to celebrate for me."

Xu Manning thought discontentedly while struggling to pick up the two suitcases and shouted into the house, "Yueyue, where are you? Come out and help!"

The living room lights were still on, but it was empty. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Hold, hold on."

Wu Wenyue’s voice came from Li Peifeng’s bedroom, and the tone made Xu Manning feel a bit strange. Her heart instantly became alert as she set down the luggage and walked quickly to the bedroom, twisting the door handle...

"What are you doing?" Xu Manning looked around, visibly relieved when she saw only Wu Wenyue in the room, but larger doubts began to arise in her heart.

"I told you to hold on!"

Wu Wenyue was sitting at Li Peifeng’s computer desk, short hair messy, face with a suspicious blush, and even a slight sweat on her neck. She clicked the mouse twice in a panic after Xu Manning entered, fearing someone might discover something...

"Hmm? Don’t move!!"

Xu Manning’s eyes lit up, immediately grabbed the mouse, and looked at the computer screen, seeing a folder named ’Foreign Language Study Materials,’ she laughed slyly: "Oh, you’re snooping on his computer! What little movies did you find just now?"

"I was just casually looking... Don’t tell him!"

Wu Wenyue seemed very nervous, and Xu Manning didn’t care, assuming her unease was due to being caught watching ’little movies.’

Thus, Xu Manning stared at the screen without blinking, and comforted, "If you’ve watched it, you’ve watched it. I’ve wanted to see what he’s writing for ages; he’s always so secretive and never tells anyone. I didn’t expect you to find another of his... Oh my, Li Peifeng downloaded this much?!"

"Yeah!"

Wu Wenyue covertly glanced at the large wardrobe just 30 centimeters to her right and agreed, "At least 700-800G."

"The rumors are true, every guy’s computer has this stuff!"

Xu Manning expressed disdain, clicking open an MP4 file with the mouse, and as the video played, her face showed a slight blush: "There are girl-girl ones too? Is he a pervert, watching this as a grown man?" Saying that, she widened her eyes at Wenyue: "Did you—you were just watching this while in his room doing..."

"I did nothing!"

Wu Wenyue quickly shook her head, almost like a bobblehead, but no matter how Xu Manning looked, she felt it was a lie. As indescribable sounds emerged from the speakers, she softly asked, "When is Li Peifeng coming back?"

"Should be soon!"

Upon mentioning this, Wu Wenyue seemed to recall something and quickly said, "Let’s go out now. I’ll help you with your luggage. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to explain when he gets back."

"Hold on, I’ll call and ask him!"

Xu Manning took out her phone, searching for Li Peifeng’s number.

Wu Wenyue quickly scanned the bedroom, relieved not to find a phone, ultimately looking at the wardrobe again, unease lingering in her heart.

Then the phone must be with its owner... Hmm, hopefully, heaven will help him bluff through.

"..."
