Love Has Fireworks - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Please Move Out

Two days later, while at work, Qian Fei received a phone call from Sister Jin. She walked outside and turned into the corridor to take it.

Sister Jin's voice over the phone was filled with apology, "Feifei, I heard little Hu cheated and the two of you broke up. Look at how this matter turned out! I saw that the boy looked fair and clean, so I could never have imagined he was that kind of person. It must have made you sad, right? Sigh, this matter is all to blame on me. I didn't introduce a proper person!"

Qian Fei hurriedly said, "Sister Jin, you must absolutely not say that! If we talk about the person in the company who keeps me in mind the most, there's no one else but you! As for Hu Zining loving to cheat outside, I'm afraid even his own mother didn't know, so where would you go to find out? If you force a mistake that isn't a mistake at all onto yourself, how can I let you continue introducing boyfriends to me in the future?"

Sister Jin let out two sighs in a row, "Sigh, sigh, I truly don't dare to introduce anyone to you again! Fortunately, it was discovered now. If it had been after marriage, wouldn't I have trapped you!"

Qian Fei interrupted her, "How could that be allowed, Sister Jin! You have to stand up from wherever you fall down. Since you feel sorry toward me, you should just find an even better one for me!"

Sister Jin had originally been full of melancholy, but she was teased into a laugh by her instead. After laughing, she said with great emotion, "Feifei, ah, tell me, for such a good girl like you, how come you always fail to meet a good man!"

Qian Fei's emotions were stirred by that last sentence. The backs of her eyes suddenly stung fiercely, and holding it in with an effort, she said, "Maybe the fate hasn't arrived yet!"

Hanging up the phone, she sniffed her nose hard and walked from the corridor toward the office.

She lowered her head, rubbing her eyes, and as a result, she hit right into someone with a bang when turning a corner.

She hurriedly said "sorry," but upon raising her head, she saw Li Yifei curling his lip, blocking the place at the turn while drooping his eyelids to glare down at her.

"Forcing a smile, are we?" he asked lazily.

Qian Fei gave him a push in an ill-tempered manner, "Say it yourself, are you annoying or not! Also, why did you eavesdrop on my phone call?"

Li Yifei blocked there without moving a single inch, "Warning you not to get handsy, ah. I hate it most when others push me! Also, do not categorize me into such a loss-of-moral-integrity scope as eavesdropping. I am doing it for your own good; in case it was that kid surnamed Hu, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to outtalk him."

Qian Fei burst out laughing with a pu, "Now that you've started being kind, you're actually quite a busybody mother!"

Li Yifei threw a white eye at her, dropped the four-character idiom for "not knowing what's good for one," and twisted his body to walk forward.

Qian Fei followed him up. Suddenly, she felt a blur at the corner of her eye. She stopped her footsteps and looked over toward the intersecting corridor beside them.

A slender, long-haired figure from behind was currently walking further and further away.

She was startled for a moment, feeling that the figure from behind looked as though it held a hidden aura of resentment.

In a daze, she heard Li Yifei ahead suddenly say, "I'm not coming home to eat dinner tonight."

Gathering her mind, she let out an "oh" sound, "I can't wait for you to not come home to eat dinner every single day!"

※※※※※※

In the evening, Da Jun called Li Yifei over to South Beauty.

As soon as Li Yifei entered the room, he asked, "How come you chose such a quiet place today?"

Da Jun said, "I want to have a peaceful and proper chat about some matters with you."

Li Yifei said, "Then how good would it be to go to my place? The female warrior's menu tonight is stir-fried eggplant strips; it tastes much better than the dishes here!"

Da Jun almost choked, looking at him with a face full of horror, "Young master, this frame of yours truly lives more and more cheaply!"

Li Yifei gave him a kick, "If there's something, speak quickly."

Da Jun picked up his chopsticks, "Wait for me to eat two mouthfuls of food first." He picked up a piece of poached fish and put it into his mouth, "Only this poached fish of theirs is still edible!"

Li Yifei followed along, picking up his chopsticks to take a piece of fish and taste it.

After tasting it, he turned his head around, only to find that Da Jun was currently opening his mouth and looking at himself with a face full of idiocy, and as soon as his hand loosened, the chopsticks dropped from between his fingers onto the table.

"I forgot to wait for you to scoop the food into your own bowl before moving my chopsticks! But the problem is, big brother, what kind of stimulation did you receive? How come today when I moved my chopsticks, you followed along to pick up food and eat too?! Didn't you never eat food that others have moved their chopsticks into before!!! What happened to you, who kicked your brain, tell me quickly, are you you, or is it an alien possessed inside your body!!!!"

Being spoken to by him like this, Li Yifei couldn't help but be startled.

If Da Jun hadn't said it, he wouldn't have discovered it either. Recently at home, he indeed seemed to have stopped scooping the food into his own bowl, but instead, together with that female warrior, one chopstick head per person, poked into the stir-fried eggplant strips in the plate together.

Since when had he already associated with her like flesh-and-blood brothers, not harboring a single bit of dislike? He unexpectedly hadn't even discovered it himself.

He adjusted his expression, raised a brow, and said, "What is there to make a great fuss about, I just forgot for a moment!" He put down his chopsticks and asked Da Jun, "Hurry up and speak, what did you look for me for!"

Da Jun withdrew from his frantic state, becoming proper, "Feifei, ah, let's partner up to do something. Right now, can money placed in the bank still be called money? It drops in value faster than blank paper! You say originally we could still buy apartments to do some investing, but it's heard that property tax is to be levied in the future; doing it like this makes apartments turn into burning hot gadgets too! I figured we can't just sit here like this and watch the Chinese Yuan irreversibly depreciate day by day within the embrace of the motherland, right? Don't we have to do something?"

Li Yifei threw a white eye at her, "Go look for other people to talk about this matter. The old man swept me out of the house, I don't have capital here."

Da Jun hooked an arm over his shoulder, "As for me, I won't advise you to go and act spoiled with the old master to ask for money or anything either, you would definitely beat me. Let's do this: I'll provide the capital, and you will be responsible for thinking up ideas to make money. Once it's done, I'll give you a cut, letting you earn a bit more pocket money to play at making the old master look bad!"

Li Yifei's heart stirred.

"Fine, I'll plan this matter out properly when I turn back."

Da Jun's expression relaxed, "Proper business is finished being spoken about, let's come again to talk about a matter that is even more important than proper business! I say buddy, between you and that girl Jin Tian, how are you guys getting along?"

Li Yifei picked up food and sent it into his mouth, smacking his lips, "Not bad, a soft sister, pretty, sensible, not clingy."

Da Jun squeezed his eyes and asked, "How about compared to your little true love?"

Li Yifei let out a hum, "She also wasn't like how she is now in the past; she was also a sensible, pretty, and non-clingy soft sister. Who knows how come as soon as she returned to the country, she quarrels every single day."

Da Jun shook his head and clicked his tongue in sighing, "Do you know what this is called? This is called a poor and lowly couple, a hundred matters are sorrowful! In the past, where did you ever need her to do chores? But speaking of which, actually, wouldn't it be enough if you just hired a domestic worker auntie to clean up the sanitation? How far must it go to quarrel every single day over that little bit of doing chores, until you greet each other's ancestral graves? No matter how poor you are now, you can still afford this money, right!"

Li Yifei looked at him, raised a brow, and said, "Originally hiring an auntie would also be whatever, but I just wanted to know, living through days together with me, to what extent of bitterness a woman could endure. What was the result? A little bit of chores endured her right onto another man's bed, ha!"

Li Yifei dropped his chopsticks, unable to eat further.

"Sometimes I truly hate that smelly old man of our family, seeing through everything so thoroughly. Saying Gui Lili wouldn't do and she truly wouldn't do; saying she could only share enjoyment with me and wouldn't share struggle with me and it truly is like this; even saying that I wouldn't do once I left him! I truly want to prove that there are times when he also speaks wrongly, but the result of one matter after another happening onward is that every single one verified he was right. Right now, there is only left this matter of him saying I won't do. No matter what, I have to hold out; I absolutely cannot let him say it right again! I cannot let my own biological father look down on me!"

It had been a long time since Da Jun had seen this kind of Li Yifei who carried seriousness within his wild, untamable, and cynical manner. He savored it carefully for a moment, discovering that Li Yifei's wild untamability and cynicism had become not quite the same as before. In the past, his wild untamability and cynicism relied on his innate family background and wealth; whereas right now, his wild untamability and cynicism were instead sent forth from a streak of pride within his bones—a streak of pride that wanted to prove he could open up a world of his own.

Da Jun felt that Li Yifei at this moment was simply wildly arrogant, cool, domineering, and explosive.

"Buddy, beg a matter of you, in the future don't put on such a serious countenance in front of me, I'm afraid I'll turn gay!"

As soon as the words left Da Jun's mouth, Li Yifei sprayed a mouthful of water onto his face, "If you don't act cheap, will you die!"

※※※※※※

Qian Fei suddenly felt that one person's dinner time was a bit making a person lonely.

After this thought flashed past, her heart shivered. If she produced an emotional dependency toward a tenant, this would be too terrible.

While washing the dishes, she remembered those filthy words Hu Zining had spoken before.

It seemed that continuing to live together with Li Yifei as an isolated man and woman was already not quite appropriate.

She felt it was time to formally discuss the issue of making him move out with Li Yifei.

※※※※※※

As soon as Li Yifei returned home, he felt that Qian Fei was a bit not right.

Her hesitant, humming-and-hawing appearance was just like she had done some matter against her conscience.

After Li Yifei changed into his pajamas, he sat on the living room sofa to watch television.

Qian Fei drifted out from her room like a ghost, drifting to the front of the sofa, stopping for a bit, letting out a he-he laugh, and saying a sentence to him: "You're back, huh!", then clamping her mouth shut and pausing, before drifting back to her room carrying a constipation-like expression that was twisted between "should I speak" and "better let it go."

When she drifted out for the second time, what Qian Fei said was: "Time to eat, huh!", then carrying a holding-in-poop-like twist, she went back.

The third time, she said: "Eaten to satisfaction, huh!" Twist, went back.

The fourth time, after she finished saying "Did you eat well?", before she could drift back, she was grabbed in a single clutch by an impatient Li Yifei.

"How many times have you drifted before my eyes with disheveled hair like a slipper female ghost, do you know it yourself? Speak, did you do or are you about to do some matter that lets me down!"

Qian Fei shivered.

A stretch of the neck is one blade and a shrink of the neck is also one blade; sooner or later there had to be such a tearing of faces to drive him out of the door, she decided to risk everything!

She drew in a full breath, just like a warrior severing his own wrist, just as she was about to open her mouth—

"Aren't you pondering over some crooked ways wanting to drive me out?" Li Yifei unexpectedly snatched the initiative to ask the words out first.

Qian Fei deflated all at once.

"How did you know what I was going to say..."

Li Yifei brushed her aside in an ill-tempered manner, "Don't block me from watching television! Go look in the mirror yourself, your face clearly and plainly has the words 'Li Yifei, get lost' hanging on it, I'm not blind."

Qian Fei stared blankly at her own arm.

Just now he had brushed her aside like it was nothing, just like brushing aside a very redundant object, not even looking at her once...

And while he did this movement, the topic of discussion they were on was that she, as the landlord, wanted him, as the tenant, to move out...

Whose damn house is this in the end!

Qian Fei became enraged!

"Li Yifei, then when are you moving?" She blocked in front of the television set.

Li Yifei leaned back on the sofa, lazily not getting up, swinging out a long leg to hook her to one side, "Told you not to block me from watching television! Once I save up enough money to buy a villa, I'll move."

Qian Fei was hooked to one side by his foot.

She was stunned for a bit, deeply grieved for the instability of her lower body.

She stood right back up, "Li Yifei, if you continue living here, my chastity will be ruined into dregs in the eyes of the world! Just go out and find another apartment again, okay?"

Li Yifei rolled his eyelids with massive displeasure, "Why must you insist on blocking the television? Doing this makes me very unhappy, do you know it or not? Not moving is not moving! I've already grown used to living here!"

Watching him act like a stinky rogue, Qian Fei's anger came from nowhere, "You're used to it but I'm not used to it, ah! I am very troubled, big brother! People say I am raising a little white face, dear! No, can you stop looking at the television first? I say Li Yifei, are you forcing me to kneel down to you before you're willing to move, ah?"

Li Yifei dug, dug, and dug from his pajama pockets, unexpectedly digging out seventy-odd Yuan. He handed the money toward Qian Fei, "Be good, don't say I am not loyal. Take it to spend after you finish kneeling."

Qian Fei panted heavily, "Li Yifei, exactly what will it take for you to be willing to move?"

Li Yifei extended his leg again to sweep her to one side, "Be a bit sensible, let me peacefully watch television for a bit, and I'll raise your rent a bit every month in the future!"

Qian Fei roared: "Raising the money is also useless! Even if you raise the money you still have to move! Raising the money... if you raise the money, how much will it be raised by?"

Looking at the television, Li Yifei said, "Nine hundred."

Qian Fei let out a qi sound, "For a quarter, right? This auntone doesn't care for it!"

Li Yifei didn't even glance at her, "Nine hundred a month."

Qian Fei was startled for a bit, following which she asked, "Then what, tomorrow evening, what do you want to eat?"

Li Yifei tilted his head over, throwing a white eye at her in an ill-tempered manner, "Not driving me out anymore?"

Qian Fei had a face full of righteousness, "Why drive you out? The innocent are naturally innocent! Furthermore, for such an eye-catching handsome guy like you to be vividly present for me to look at for free every day without charging money, I've made a huge profit!"

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and looked at her arrogantly, wildly praising with a click of his tongue, "Look at whose kid this is, how can she be so discerning!"
