Super Soldier in the City
Chapter 139 Bad Habits

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Bad Habits

Well past midnight, Li Yifei returned to Xu Yingying’s home. It wasn’t that he wanted to come back, but He Fangqing, fearing that Li Yifei staying there would raise suspicions with Xu Shanshan, reluctantly sent Li Yifei away.

When Li Yifei got home, he was also afraid of waking Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, so he moved gently, not turning on the lights, and tiptoed back to Xu Yingying’s room.

Xu Yingying was sleeping deeply, covered with a quilt. Li Yifei undressed and carefully got into bed without waking Xu Yingying. He stayed on his side of the bed as usual, not touching Xu Yingying. Since he had been satisfied at He Fangqing’s place earlier that day, even with the great beauty Xu Yingying beside him, he had no improper thoughts and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Li Yifei woke up to Xu Yingying’s movements and realized something was wrong even before he opened his eyes.

The bed was large, and typically each of them stayed on their own side, as if to remind themselves in their sleep not to wander over.

But Li Yifei had been to He Fangqing’s place, and Xu Yingying, assuming she would have the bed to herself today, fully relaxed. After her bath, she only put on underwear and didn’t bother with pajamas before going to bed.

And because she wasn’t worried about bumping into Li Yifei during the night, she slept freely and somehow rolled over to Li Yifei’s side, snuggling up against him, her body curled against his, one leg even resting on his.

Li Yifei, worn out by the rather intense night with He Fangqing who had drunk quite a bit, slept heavily. Normally, as a super special forces soldier, he would have been aware of someone getting close, but because he had intended to stay at He Fangqing’s, he had no sense of danger here, so when Xu Yingying hugged him, he didn’t wake up but instead wrapped an arm around her.

What’s more, Li Yifei had not expected Xu Yingying to be almost completely naked, and he could feel her smooth skin, and the touch of her chest was enough to make any man lose his soul.

Now, all Li Yifei could do was pretend to be asleep, which seemed to mitigate some of Xu Yingying’s embarrassment. The moment he opened his eyes might trigger a cascade of reactions, and those reactions would likely be to his disadvantage, no matter what.

Xu Yingying just wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She was lying in bed next to Li Yifei, practically naked, and even hugging him in such an embarrassing manner. For a somewhat conservative woman like her, it was a massive shock.

Fortunately, it seemed Li Yifei was sound asleep and hadn’t noticed her, so she let out a sigh of relief, gingerly moved to the other side, pulled over a nightgown, and slipped it on under the covers. She then stole another glance at Li Yifei and, seeing he was still asleep, took a long breath.

But then Xu Yingying immediately thought of a terrifying problem: she had no idea when this guy came home last night. When he got into bed, he must have lifted the quilt. Could he have missed seeing her body?

The thought that her body might have been seen by this guy made Xu Yingying feel a surge of anger. She kicked Li Yifei hard and hissed, "Li Yifei, wake up right now."

Li Yifei opened his eyes "groggily," then rubbed them and asked, "What’s up? Why are you mad so early in the morning?"

Xu Yingying sat up, looking down at Li Yifei, and said through gritted teeth, "What did you see when you came back last night?"

"See what?" Li Yifei asked, bewildered, gazing blankly at Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying’s tone softened slightly and she asked, "What time did you come back last night?"

"Almost one o’clock, I think. Fangqing was worried that Shanshan would notice I was missing in the morning and insisted on me coming back, so I did."

"And what did you do after you got back?"

"I just went to bed to sleep."

"I’m asking you, what exactly did you do when you got into bed?"

Li Yifei replied with some frustration, "President Xu, what could I have done? I just went to bed to sleep. All these days, I haven’t touched you once, and after being at Fangqing’s last night, I was exhausted. How could I have done anything to you?"

Xu Yingying’s cheeks flushed red as Li Yifei matter-of-factly talked about that stuff, brazen as he was. But seeing his reaction, it seemed he hadn’t noticed how lightly she was dressed last night. She glared at him and said, "Then why did you even come back? You could have just come back earlier in the morning."

Li Yifei sighed, "President Xu, I wish I could have but you have no idea how tired one gets in that state. I would probably have slept till seven or eight in the morning. How could I have made it back in time? I always take my work seriously. Since I’m employed by you, I have to be worth the salary you pay me, right?"

Xu Yingying might not have seen pigs run, but she’d eaten pork before. The old saying used to be, one hasn’t eaten pork, but has seen pigs run. However, nowadays, there probably aren’t many young people who have actually seen pigs run, but it’s almost certain they’ve all eaten pork.

Anyway, Xu Yingying had some knowledge about matters between men and women, so when that guy said he was so exhausted, she could imagine how intense his battle with He Fangqing must have been last night. But as soon as she thought about the noises that those two must have made while living here, Xu Yingying couldn’t help but come up with many more scenarios in her mind.

"Gross." Giving Li Yifei a glare, Xu Yingying got out of bed, freshened up, and looked at the time—it was just six o’clock. Usually, she would start thinking about the day’s work as soon as she got up, but today she didn’t feel like going through that hassle. Huayang had deeply hurt her, and although she had to stand her final shift well, there was no need to worry about work that much anymore.

It was still early and the house was quiet, which somehow made Xu Yingying feel sleepy again. She hesitated for a moment and then went back to the bedroom.

Seeing Li Yifei sound asleep, Xu Yingying’s movements became unconsciously gentler. This guy wouldn’t have had to rush back in the middle of the night if it weren’t for her. But when she thought about how he had come back without even saying hello and had slept holding her bare body all night, she realized that her virtuous character had been ruined by this man’s hands, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.

"Hey, stop sleeping." Climbing back into bed, Xu Yingying sat beside Li Yifei and pushed him.

"Let me sleep a bit longer, just ten minutes, and I’ll get up and cook for you guys."

Her anger dissipated in an instant, and Xu Yingying said, "Then sleep, I don’t have anything to do this morning. I’ll go out and buy some breakfast in a bit."

"Thanks, I’m going to sleep a bit more," Li Yifei mumbled and went back to snoring.

Xu Yingying actually did get up and buy breakfast. When she lived alone, she never had the habit of going out to buy breakfast. If she wanted breakfast, she would have her secretary buy something once she got to the office.

After setting the bought breakfast on the table, Xu Yingying called Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan to wake up.

"Big sis, seriously, you bought breakfast?" Xu Shanshan looked at Xu Yingying as if she were from another planet.

Xu Yingying gave her a fierce look and said, "What? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, it’s just... Sis, are you feverish?" Xu Shanshan suddenly reached out to touch Xu Yingying’s forehead.

Xu Yingying swatted her sister’s hand away irritably and said, "If you’re not going to eat, then don’t."

"Really, I can eat? You’re not planning on making your brother-in-law and me do something illegal, are you?"

"You..." Xu Yingying glared at her sister gritting her teeth. She went to buy breakfast for once, only to be mocked by Xu Shanshan; she was actually quite upset. But on the other hand, she felt rather disappointed in herself; such a simple task had made her sister suspicious of her. It showed her how her sister must have seen her before.

"Hehe, these buns are good. Brother-in-law, eat up quickly. It looks like you haven’t had the chance to enjoy my sister’s loving breakfast before."

Only then did Xu Yingying notice that Li Yifei was looking at her with an exaggeratedly stunned expression, which made her feel a bit choked up. Nonetheless, she forced a smile and said, "You always eat what you cook. Are you going to react like that crazy girl too, now that I bought breakfast?"

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "No, no, it’s okay. Keep it up; I believe in you."

Finally receiving some encouragement, Xu Yingying looked at Xu Shanshan snickering and suddenly understood that Li Yifei was hinting she should do more of such things in the future. She rolled her eyes at Li Yifei but wasn’t really angry. It seemed that going out to buy breakfast and seeing her family eat it happily was also quite satisfying.

Previously, Xu Yingying always focused on work, and as long as she was not asleep, she’d be considering how to make the company better. Now that she had a break from work, she discovered that there were other things in life that were also quite enjoyable to do, beyond just work.

Unfortunately, as soon as Xu Yingying arrived at the company, she went back to being the strong woman she was known as, even if she was on the verge of leaving the company.

She brought Li Yifei to the company again today, not only because she didn’t want him running wild with Xu Shanshan, but also because she hoped Xu Shanshan would find it boring and go home early, putting an end to this cohabitation life with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei didn’t think as much as Xu Yingying did and simply returned to the Logistics Department. However, the atmosphere there wasn’t as cheerful as usual; everyone was frowning and looked troubled, as if they had run into some particularly difficult issues.

This made Li Yifei feel quite pressured, but soon he gathered from their conversation that they, too, had heard the news that the General Manager of the headquarters was going to be replaced. Everyone was panic-stricken, as no one knew what the company would become once Xu Yingying left.

"Li Yifei, you’re close to President Xu, do you have any inside information?" Shen Yajuan came up close to Li Yifei and asked quietly.
