Chapter 224: Chapter 225: Communication

After hanging up on Xu Shanshan’s call, Li Yifei redialed Xu Yingying’s number. It only rang twice before the call went through.

"What’s the matter with you, not answering my calls?" Xu Yingying’s tone was urgent, laced with reproach.

Li Yifei was quite accustomed to Xu Yingying’s tone and didn’t get angry. He laughed and said, "I ran into some trouble when I went out and got detained at the police station, so I couldn’t answer your call."

"Detained at the police station? What happened to you?" Her words now carried a hint of concern.

Li Yifei said, "Today, after leaving your house, I went to pick up my girlfriend to go shopping. Then we got into a fight. A friend of mine tried to intervene for justice, and he ended up being detained by the police station. I went to help, and I got detained too."

"Then why didn’t you call me? I could have found someone to bail you out. I know a few leaders."

"Heh, no need for that. We were doing the right thing, not there to fight. It will clear up once they understand the situation."

"Well, that’s good." Xu Yingying paused then continued, slightly upset, "Can you not hang out with your girlfriend these two days? What if my parents see you by accident? What will we do then?"

"President Xu, although I’m helping you, I still have to be with my girlfriend. How should I explain it to her? Should I tell her that I’m pretending to be someone else’s boyfriend right now? Have you considered my girlfriend’s feelings?"

Xu Yingying was suddenly at a loss for words.

"President Xu, this isn’t the time to discuss this. Right now, your parents are here forcing us to get married. How do you suggest we resolve this?"

Xu Yingying didn’t answer immediately, which made Li Yifei quite anxious. He said, "Will you say something? What do we do now?"

Only then did Xu Yingying speak, "Then let’s just get married."

"What?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened as he exclaimed loudly.

"I said let’s just get married." Xu Yingying repeated it firmly.

"You can’t be serious?"

"You know my parents just want to see me married. If we don’t get married, they will keep pestering us to no end, and they might not even leave. So, only if we get married will they possibly leave."

"This is marriage, big sister, not child’s play. Your parents even want to see us register for it."

Xu Yingying’s tone remained calm as she said, "If we have to register, then we register. I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"You... you..." Li Yifei was so exasperated by Xu Yingying that he was left speechless.

"Giggle..." Xu Yingying laughed lightly, "Isn’t this easy? Later we can take a couple of photos, then hand them over to someone who makes fakes, and get them to produce a couple of marriage certificates for us. Just say that we’ve registered, and as for the actual marriage, we don’t have time right now; we can talk about it later."

"Sweat, I mean, President Xu, you really scared me there. Who does things the way you do?"

"Am I that terrible, that unlikable to you? Does the idea of marrying me repulse you that much?" Xu Yingying shot back with a trio of questions, her tone quite unhappy.

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh and said, "It’s not that you’re not okay, President Xu, but I have a girlfriend. If I were to be unfaithful and leave her, would you still think highly of me? So, to maintain the image you have of me in your heart, I have to stay loyal to my girlfriend."

"Humph, loyal my foot, you already have a girlfriend and you still went to stay out with Sister Fangqing," Xu Yingying said with disdain.

Li Yifei suddenly felt a headache coming on. How did Xu Yingying know about this? He didn’t believe He Fangqing would tell, so he guessed that Xu Yingying must have seen the two of them leave together that day and surmised it.

"Humph, nothing to say now, huh? Talking about loyalty to your girlfriend, you men just talk one way and act another."

"Yes, yes, I am such a shameless man, truly detestable."

"Hmm, as long as you are aware of that."

"So, you should really dislike me."

"Don’t even think about it, that’s because your girlfriend can’t control you. Once you fall for me, I won’t let such things happen again."

Li Yifei hung up the phone; he just couldn’t understand why Xu Yingying was so persistent now?

However, Li Yifei wasn’t too concerned about it. Whether it was Xu Yingying or Xu Shanshan, he was currently in love with Su Yiyi and wanted to be with her. Even if the Xu Family Sisters were persistent, he wouldn’t leave Su Yiyi.

Just then, Su Yiyi emerged from the bathroom with a flushed face, toweling her hair, her beauty understated and refined. Although she didn’t have Xu Yingying’s grandeur or Xu Shanshan’s liveliness, her purity was what Li Yifei cherished the most.

"Brother Li, your turn to shower," Su Yiyi said shyly and then quickly turned and walked into the bedroom.

Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly entered the bathroom, unable to contain his excitement at the thought of sharing a bed with Su Yiyi.

After cleaning himself thoroughly, Li Yifei went into the bedroom where Su Yiyi wasn’t lying on her side as before but was laying flat on the bed, looking at Li Yifei entering but with her cheeks flushed, as if she were about to drip blood.

Li Yifei switched off the bedroom lights with a flick of his hand and got into bed, helped by the light from outside. His arm slid under Su Yiyi’s neck, pulling her into his embrace.

Su Yiyi turned and hugged Li Yifei, her body trembling slightly. Li Yifei laughed, "What’s the matter? You’re so nervous?"

In a soft voice, Su Yiyi said, "I... I’m not nervous, I’m just... just..."

"Just what?" Li Yifei looked down at Su Yiyi.

Too shy to meet Li Yifei’s gaze, Su Yiyi buried her head in his chest and, after a long pause, whispered, "I’m just afraid... I won’t do well... I won’t make Brother Li happy."

Li Yifei gently stroked Su Yiyi’s slightly damp and smooth hair, speaking softly, "Silly girl, when two people are together, it all comes from the heart, you don’t need to try to please me by doing anything special."

Su Yiyi gave a quiet "mm-hm," slowly lifted her head, and her lips moved willingly to meet his.

Li Yifei immediately kissed Su Yiyi but was exceedingly gentle. He sometimes feared he might hurt her with a rough movement, always unconsciously treating her with tenderness.

But at that moment, Su Yiyi hastily broke their kiss, turning to hold his hand in a flustered manner, her face blushing with bashfulness as she said, "Brother Li, not today."

Li Yifei was taken aback, then he remembered, Su Yiyi had told him that today she was on her period, so he retracted his hand somewhat sulkily, saying, "I got carried away and forgot."

Su Yiyi looked at Li Yifei apologetically, saying, "I’m really sorry."

Li Yifei chuckled and affectionately teased her nose, saying, "Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? This kind of thing, can you even control it? Isn’t it normal for women to have a few days like this each month?"

Li Yifei’s comforting gestures were very soothing to Su Yiyi, and flushing, she said, "But it must be tough for Brother Li." Being so intimate with Li Yifei, Su Yiyi could clearly feel his reaction.

In the girls’ dorm, roommates also studied things like adult films, not just a boys’ prerogative. Although girls might not be as tireless as boys, they did watch it to some extent. Usually, Su Yiyi was too embarrassed to watch, and whenever her roommates did, she would excuse herself. But today, wanting to be together with Li Yifei, she had hurriedly watched over ten minutes of such knowledge on her computer before he picked her up, gaining a deeper understanding.

"Being uncomfortable is part of it, I can handle it," Li Yifei said with a smile.

Su Yiyi bit her lip and then leaned in to whisper something into Li Yifei’s ear leaving him dumbstruck before his face broke into ecstatic joy.
