Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Hero Saving Lives

The two of them went out, and Xu Yingying’s face was still flushed. Just as Xu Shanshan also walked out from the opposite door, she immediately exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent, "Sis, your face is so red, you must have been up to no good."

Xu Yingying’s face turned even redder. She glared at Xu Shanshan and reprimanded, "Nonsense." However, if it led her sister to think this way, then she wouldn’t believe that the relationship between her and Li Yifei was fake, which wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

At this moment, Li Yifei found his mouth somewhat dry. Both Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying were wearing the same kind of shirt, perfectly showcasing their curvy figures. Coupled with the fact that the two sisters were twins, both equally perfect and beautiful, looking at them filled him with impulsiveness as a man.

Xu Shanshan sensed Li Yifei’s gaze on her and playfully stuck out her tongue at him, saying, "Watch out, or my sister will make you sleep on the floor tonight."

Xu Yingying immediately turned her head to stare coldly at Li Yifei. Li Yifei quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment.

Xu Shanshan had already run over to her parents, and Li Yifei quickly followed. He was afraid Xu Yingying might lose her temper at this point.

Xu Zhenguo and his wife exchanged a few words of blessing, then the family of five went back to their rooms to rest.

When Li Yifei and Xu Yingying entered the room, Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei coldly and said, "Keep your distance from Shanshan."

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh and said, "I haven’t been that close to her."

"Hmph, remember your role. You are my boyfriend."

"I know, since I’m your boyfriend, I can’t just pretend not to know my sister-in-law. Besides, a sister-in-law teasing her brother-in-law is kind of a long-standing tradition in our country."

"What I’m telling you is to have no intentions toward Shanshan. If you dare to do anything to her, I’ll make your life miserable."

"This job is really not easy, alright, alright, I’ll try to do better and make you, the president, more satisfied."

After saying this, Li Yifei took his quilt and other things and placed them on the floor, lying down in his new shirt.

Xu Yingying said little, turned off the lights, and got into bed.

That night, Xu Yingying slept more soundly, possibly because Li Yifei had behaved yesterday, so she didn’t worry he would do anything to her. She was also afraid he would fall asleep first and snore, keeping her from being able to sleep. In any case, she fell asleep quickly.

When she woke up, she found that Li Yifei was no longer in the room, and his quilt and other things were also gone. She quickly got up, changed her clothes, and opened the door only to hear Li Yifei talking with her mother in the kitchen, which made Xu Yingying very satisfied. This guy was indeed performing quite well.

"Yingying, go wake up Shanshan too. Someone will be coming to pay their New Year respects later." At this moment, Xu Zhenguo said to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying agreed and went to pull the reluctant Xu Shanshan out of bed.

After breakfast, it was already eight-thirty. The sound of knocking on the door began, and those coming to pay their New Year respects started arriving.

Xu Zhenguo’s apartment was purchased through a unit collective purchase, so in this building, he had many colleagues. Since Xu Zhenguo was a leader, those subordinates naturally came to pay their New Year respects, so there was an endless stream of visitors early in the morning.

"Huh, you were the one who pushed me down yesterday, weren’t you?" A man in his thirties came in, having paid his respects to Xu Zhenguo and his wife. When he saw Li Yifei, he was immediately a bit surprised and asked.

Xu Yingying immediately frowned, while Xu Zhenguo was a bit puzzled and said, "Little Wang, what’s the matter? This is our Yingying’s boyfriend, Li Yifei."

The man called Little Wang looked at Xu Shanshan again and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "That’s right! Last night, a firework shell didn’t explode in the air, it landed on the ground and exploded. I didn’t even notice, it was Little Li who pushed me down, saving me from being hit by the firework. Director Xu, you know how powerful that firework was. Little Li practically saved my life."

Li Yifei also knew he couldn’t deny it, so he smiled and said, "Brother Li, don’t mention it, I just acted on instinct."

"This was no casual gesture. There were six or seven people there yesterday. You saved them all; otherwise, it would have been disastrous. Everyone was looking for you afterward, but you left, and no one noticed you were with Shanshan; otherwise, they would have come over to thank you sooner."

Xu Zhenguo initially thought Li Yifei had caused some trouble, but upon hearing this, he was immediately relieved. He chuckled and said, "No need to thank us. We’re all neighbors."

Xu Shanshan became even more pleased and immediately started jabbering about the events of last night. Although she hadn’t seen it, her imagination was extremely vivid, and her storytelling ability was outstanding. She described it so vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, especially when talking about Li Yifei, making him sound incredibly brave, almost like a Spider-Man-like superhero.

The more Xu Zhenguo and his wife listened, the happier they became. The more satisfied they were with Li Yifei, this incident showcased both a person’s character and their ability. Managing to push six or seven people aside without anyone getting hurt requires exceptional skills.

Xu Yingying was also seeing Li Yifei in a new light. To her, Li Yifei was merely a security guard, not someone who could be considered talented, perhaps just strong. But now it seemed he was not so simple, at least from this incident, he achieved something most people couldn’t.

However, when she heard that Li Yifei finally pressed Xu Shanshan to the ground, Xu Yingying frowned. Once the visitors left, she immediately dragged Li Yifei, who was being praised by her parents, into the room.

"What are you doing? You wouldn’t say you disagreed with us buying fireworks from the start, would you?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Yingying with a bitter smile.

Xu Yingying snorted, "You already realized it, so why should I say anything? I just want to know, why did you press Shanshan down? Couldn’t you have just pushed her aside?"

Li Yifei immediately widened his eyes, looking at Xu Yingying with some displeasure. He said, "Listen up, Xu president. I didn’t know the others; it’s not my concern whether they got hurt or not. But Shanshan is your sister, and I went out with her. I had to be responsible for her safety. I blocked the blast’s shockwave with my body. Can’t you see that?"

Xu Yingying was momentarily stunned. Li Yifei continued, "That could be considered an act of sacrifice for others. You didn’t praise me or give me any reward. Instead, you think I took advantage of Shanshan. In that situation, do you think I had time to think about such things? And... Xu president, can’t you be more optimistic and not always suspect others of doing bad things?"

After saying this, Li Yifei ignored Xu Yingying, swung his arm, and turned around to leave the room.
