Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Xu Shanshan is Difficult to Deal With

Li Yifei told Xu Shanshan a story for a while. Speaking of stories, it was about incidents from Li Yifei’s time in the army. Of course, he couldn’t share anything classified, so he just picked some fun and interesting ones to tell Xu Shanshan.

After talking for more than ten minutes, Xu Shanshan actually tilted her head, leaned on his shoulder, and closed her eyes, saying, "Brother-in-law, go on, don’t mind me."

Her soft voice made Li Yifei unable to refuse, so he continued for a bit. But then, Xu Shanshan’s body slipped, and she fell onto his thigh. Li Yifei quickly reached out to support her head, letting her rest slowly on his leg. Looking at the sweet sleeping face of his sister-in-law, he was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This little sister-in-law was like a child, falling asleep while listening to stories.

Looking at Xu Shanshan’s sweet sleeping posture, Li Yifei didn’t have the heart to wake her up, so he simply carried her to her room.

At that moment, Xu Shanshan didn’t react at all, sleeping deeply. Even when Li Yifei placed her on the bed, there was no response.

Seeing his sister-in-law like a sleeping beauty, Li Yifei truly wanted to play the prince and give her a peck, but he dismissed the idea, covered her with the quilt, tiptoed out of Xu Shanshan’s room, gently closed her door, turned off the living room light, and returned to Xu Yingying’s room.

Xu Yingying was still sleeping soundly. Li Yifei got into bed without waking her, and after a busy day, he too quickly fell asleep.

For the past half month, Xu Yingying hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. Tonight, she finally slept well. In the morning, she woke up because of the alarm, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Li Yifei’s face very close to hers; just a fist’s distance apart.

Xu Yingying quickly withdrew her head to put some distance between their faces and then noticed that her leg was on top of Li Yifei’s leg, which made her even more embarrassed. She hurriedly pulled her leg back, annoyed at how Li Yifei had gotten so close to her in his sleep. But looking at her position on the bed, she realized she was in the middle, while Li Yifei was still by the bed’s edge, meaning she had moved over, not him.

Xu Yingying’s annoyance instantly turned into embarrassment and shyness. She quickly got up and slipped out of the bedroom. It would be awkward if Li Yifei found out, but thankfully, Li Yifei was sleeping soundly.

However, as soon as she went out, Li Yifei opened his eyes. Someone like Li Yifei, even in sleep, had the keenest senses. When Xu Yingying’s leg was thrown onto him, he already knew. But because it wasn’t a dangerous sensation, he automatically ignored it. Yet with Xu Yingying getting up, no matter how much he wanted to pretend not to notice, he definitely felt it.

He just faked being asleep to avoid embarrassing Xu Yingying.

After tidying herself up in the bathroom, Xu Yingying felt particularly refreshed. She hadn’t experienced this sort of deep sleep for a good few days, knowing it was definitely thanks to Li Yifei’s massage last night. In her heart, she couldn’t help but silently praise Li Yifei’s massage skills.

Today, even though it was the weekend, Xu Yingying still had a lot to do. Returning to the bedroom, she gave Li Yifei a nudge, and once he opened his eyes, she said, "Today, you accompany Shanshan to hang out, I have to go out now."

Li Yifei yawned and said, "Alright, you go ahead. Leave Shanshan to me."

"Mm, I’ll leave the car for you two. Here’s some cash. Get Shanshan whatever she likes." Xu Yingying placed a wad of cash by the pillow, amounting to ten thousand.

"Won’t need that much, will we?"

"That girl has no sense of money, so bring more. If it’s not enough, cover it first, and I’ll repay you later."

"Need an invoice?"

Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and said, "What do you think?"

"Hehe, seems like I can pocket some."

"As you wish." Xu Yingying didn’t mind. Since Li Yifei was pretending to be her boyfriend, she hadn’t mentioned payment, which was like indirectly giving him some money.

Saying this, Xu Yingying took her clothes and left the bedroom. Not long after, there was the sound of the door closing.

As soon as Xu Yingying left, Li Yifei also got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and did some simple exercises like sit-ups and push-ups. Once he’d worked up quite a sweat, he moved into the bathroom for a shower.

Years of training meant that, even back in the city, Li Yifei still trained to maintain his body strength. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be lazy, it was just that it had become ingrained in him; slacking off felt uncomfortable throughout his whole body.

Just as he was showering, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Li Yifei immediately grabbed a towel to cover himself, glared at Xu Shanshan at the door, and shouted, "Shanshan, what are you doing?"

"Ah! Brother-in-law, you’re showering," Xu Shanshan mumbled in a daze, quickly shutting the door with a "bang" and then yelled from outside, "Hurry up, I need the bathroom."

Li Yifei was at a loss. Xu Shanshan truly was brazen, running into him while showering and not thinking it a big deal. But thinking back, the last time she stumbled upon him in the bathroom, she just laughed it off too, seemingly not considering him an outsider anymore.

After a rushed shower of less than five minutes, Li Yifei opened the bathroom door, as Xu Shanshan was persistently knocking and almost barging in.

Once the door opened, Xu Shanshan squeezed in and rushed straight for the toilet. Li Yifei quickly stepped out, closing the bathroom door behind him. Just as he was doing so, he saw Xu Shanshan had already sat down with her pants off.

Shaking his head, Li Yifei was helpless against this sister-in-law. One couldn’t say Xu Shanshan was the type of girl who was casual, yet her interactions with him were too informal. Anyway, they were merely brother-in-law and sister-in-law, not siblings or anything.

Turning to the kitchen, he began preparing breakfast for the two of them. It wasn’t long before Xu Shanshan leaned against the kitchen door and said, "Where’s my sister?"

"Your sister left; she has matters at the company and can’t join us."

"She’s really something, not even resting on the weekend. Whoever hires my sister is truly lucky."

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Yes, she’s like that; nobody can dissuade her."

Xu Shanshan scratched her chin and said, "Brother-in-law, don’t you feel it’s dull being with my sister when she doesn’t have time to date you, watch movies, or travel together?"

Li Yifei gave a mock stern look, "Are you really your sister’s sibling? You’re trying to stir up trouble between me and your sister, aren’t you?"

Xu Shanshan burst into laughter, "If you two would argue just because of my words, you wouldn’t be together till now!"

"You’re quite right. In a relationship, sometimes one must sacrifice a bit. If both are workaholics, it wouldn’t work. Like me and your sister, she’s busy with work, so I take care of things. That way, the home stays stable and harmonious."

"My sister is truly fortunate!" Xu Shanshan pouted and glared at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei felt baffled by her glare, "What did I do to you now?"

Xu Shanshan snorted and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re awful. Being so nice, how am I supposed to find a boyfriend?"

"What does my being nice have to do with your boyfriend search?" Li Yifei was still puzzled.

"Of course, it matters! I’m my sister’s twin, and we’re nearly the same in everything. If she can find a great boyfriend like you, how could I settle for less?"

Li Yifei laughed heartily; her words were truly flattering, "There are plenty of good men out there, you just haven’t met one yet. When the time is right, you’ll find your true love."

Xu Shanshan shook her head, wearing a gloomy expression, "Forget it, I’ve been looking for years without finding anyone suitable. Brother-in-law, with such a high bar you’ve set, it’s even harder for me."

"Alright, quit your blabbering and get ready to eat. After the meal, I’ll take you out for some fun."

"Got it!" Xu Shanshan eagerly replied and went into the kitchen to help Li Yifei with dishes. In this regard, she was much more proactive than Xu Yingying, who rarely lifted a finger during meals.

The two enjoyed a simple breakfast, and then, with Li Yifei driving, they headed out for the day.

Being the primary tourist destination in Mile City, the Hualong Temple, where Su Mengxin went last time, was a must-see.

The weather was fantastic today—clear skies without a puff of wind. It was the weekend, and a lot of people were visiting Hualong Temple. Climbing up the steps, Xu Shanshan remained energetic and occasionally stopped to look at the fresh green sprouts emerging from the roadside foliage.

After walking more than halfway, and seeing Xu Shanshan still full of energy, Li Yifei gleefully said, "You’ve got quite the stamina! Last time with your sister, she was exhausted before we even got halfway."

"Of course I do; I study dance and regularly exercise, unlike my sister who hardly moves all day."

"But I don’t see much difference in your figures."

"My muscles are firm; hers are soft. Why don’t you feel and see?" Xu Shanshan playfully winked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "Better not."

"Heehee, what are you thinking? I meant squeeze my arm." Xu Shanshan giggled gleefully.

Li Yifei felt helpless with this mischievous sister-in-law but gamely pinched her arm, "There is a bit of difference."

In truth, Li Yifei couldn’t discern any difference between their arms. Both were not too thin or too fat, appearing quite balanced and full of substance.

Pointing at Li Yifei, Xu Shanshan laughed heartily, "I bet you haven’t even pinched my sister’s arm, right? My sister and I often compare, and we’re actually the same."

Li Yifei felt a bit at a loss, "Of course, I have; I was just going along with your words. You’re intentionally trying to ensnare me."
