Huang Tianxuan: "Treasure boy, huh? That's a backhanded complint. Don't tell you didn't catch that!"
Li Peifeng: "At least I know you're really thinking about , right?"
Huang Tianxuan: "(Holds mouth and laughs) The punchline is comparing you to a trash can, you're just a filthy trash can!"
Li Peifeng: "So now that you're thinking of , are you here to dump trash or to collect scrap?"
Huang Tianxuan: "What do you think?"
I guess you're here to collect scrap!
Li Peifeng turned and went into the bedroom, rummaged through and found an antique-looking small wooden box. When he opened it and saw the pitch-black pill inside, he showed a playful smile.
"Giving a girl aphrodisiacs? That's quite a magical experience!"
...
"Where are you going?"
When Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning ca out of the bathroom one after another, they saw Li Peifeng putting on a coat, ready to put on his shoes as if he was going out.
Li Peifeng's expression was serious, his voice low: "When dragon ets tiger on the cliff, the keyboard can't control my actions!"
Xu Manning's mouth slightly opened: "What does that an?"
"The knife is blunt, the horse is thin, writer's block is hard to bear."
Wu Wenyue exclaid in pain: "Stop saying that! Shut up!! I'm nauseous!!"
"The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, without inspiration I can't make it!"
Xu Manning felt sick but also a bit guilty: "Did we drive him crazy?"
Wu Wenyue dismissed: "He brought it on himself, speak normally!"
"In plain language, I'm out of inspiration, I need to go out and gather so wind."
Li Peifeng's hand was already on the doorknob, about to turn it, when he suddenly thought of sothing and casually asked, "Why don't you co with ? Go out for a walk?"
"You go by yourself."
"Co back early."
Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning both had work to do, so they weren't interested, but this suited Li Peifeng just fine. If the two girls really ca along, he wouldn't know how to handle it.
"Click!"
With the door closed, Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "The east wind awakens the hero's dream, Jiangdong leaves no idle n!"
"This hero sets off!!"
Where to?
Of course, to see Huang Tianxuan.
The Yandu University dical Departnt is quite close to Beihua Normal, less than five kiloters away. Li Peifeng took a cab and arrived at the school gate in ten minutes.
He hadn't been to this school before, though he had been to Yandu University a few tis. But the Yandu University dical Departnt and Yandu University were originally two separate schools; they just later rged and both were called Yandu University.
However, the two campuses are not in the sa location, they're five kiloters apart.
"I've transferred the money."
"Alright."
After getting out of the cab, Li Peifeng picked up a shared bike at the school gate and leisurely rode into the campus. Since he wasn't familiar with the way, he even asked for directions.
"Excuse , do you know where the dical Innovation Center is?"
"Go straight and take a left at the second intersection ahead."
"Thanks!"
Stopping under the big sign of the Yandu University dical Innovation Center, Li Peifeng took out his phone and called Huang Tianxuan.
"I'm downstairs, which floor are you on?"
"9th floor, co on up."
Li Peifeng looked at the Innovation Center which didn't exceed four floors and asked puzzledly: "9th floor? Are you sure we're talking about the sa place?"
"Yeah, Hongyun District, Block 8, 9th floor, Apartnt 902."
Huang Tianxuan's tone was languid, but Li Peifeng was confused: "Didn't you just say you were at the dical Innovation Center at the university? How co..."
"Oh."
Huang Tianxuan apologized slightly: "Forgot to tell you, I'm not at school now, it's Saturday, I just checked in and ca back, I've already arrived ho."
"?"
On purpose, definitely on purpose! Aren't you just bullying an honest person?!!
Li Peifeng gritted his teeth, chuckled and said: "Then send your location, I'll deliver the dicine to you."
"Alright, check your WeChat."
After hanging up, Li Peifeng received Huang Tianxuan's address, not far away, in a district near the dical Departnt, just minutes away by bike.
But just showing up like this might result in a cold reception.
The annoyance likely stems from her hopes being dashed.
During those few days in Hangzhou, they got along splendidly; Huang Tianxuan's fondness for him was obvious. She even gifted him a Vacheron Constantin watch worth over a million, although the watch hadn't yet arrived, her sincerity was unquestionable.
Li Peifeng maintained a nonchalant and non-committal attitude, subtly expressing his "casual dater" status.
Huang Tianxuan knew about this yet her affection wasn't diminished, maybe she thought he was joking.
Previously, during an undercover visit to a lecture, she witnessed certain scenes firsthand—her hopes dashed. It's understandable she would feel a little emotional.
But this doesn't bode well for potential business collaboration. Maybe buying so gifts to appease her?
"Perhaps buy so fruit to take to her ho, like—oranges?"
No matter what, Huang Tianxuan as a friend coming to the Capital for work and life ans visiting her for the first ti seeking favors without gifts seems impolite. It might also ease the current tension between them, killing two birds with one stone.
Thus, as Li Peifeng rode his bike, he pondered what gift would be appropriate, yet after a long while, he still couldn't decide what to buy.
"What to give, too expensive isn't suitable, too cheap lacks sincerity…"
Yandu University's dical Departnt campus was quite large, and on his way back, Li Peifeng inadvertently noticed a roadside flanked by decades-old ginkgo trees near a teaching building.
The sunlight cast a golden glow on the ginkgo leaves, each leaf shimring with light. From afar, the ginkgo trees resembled money trees laden with gold.
Perhaps because it was Saturday, there weren't many people on the asphalt road and pedestrian path, so the golden ginkgo leaves occupied the road, nearly covering the ground.
The low-angle sunlight of this autumn afternoon didn't evoke decay but instead created a stunningly beautiful visual effect, the silent beauty.
Li Peifeng instinctively turned his bike, arrived by the ginkgo trees, slowly parked the bike, looking down at the fallen leaves with a grin;
"The wind sweeps the treetops, the scattered leaves beco the remnants of the season!"
"These fallen leaves, truly beautiful!"
…
Nearly an hour later, Hongyun District, in front of Unit 8, 9th floor, door 902.
"Ding dong~ ding dong~"
Li Peifeng pressed the doorbell.
"Click~"
In less than ten seconds, the door opened, and Huang Tianxuan stood inside in gray loungewear, smiling: "You ca late enough, I thought you'd gotten lost."
"Had so things to do…"
Li Peifeng looked at Huang Tianxuan, still blocking the doorway, feeling sothing was amiss. He sensed he would get a cold reception, but didn't expect Sister Huang wouldn't even let him in?
"Co in and sit?" Huang Tianxuan didn't move from her spot.
Blocking the doorway and saying this seed terribly insincere!!
It's on, starting now!
Li Peifeng pursed his lips: "I'm afraid you'd think I'm a burglar, kill on the spot without legal consequences, so, forget it."
Li Peifeng's move of "forget it" to advance by retreat was executed seamlessly, a decisive counterattack with no room for reversal!
Huang Tianxuan was slightly stunned, evidently caught off guard.
"I'm scared too."
But quickly, Huang Tianxuan reacted, smiling: "I'm afraid if my two female roommates find out you visited, they'd be heartbroken, so let's talk outside."
Uh oh!
Those two female roommates were Li Peifeng's only weakness, seized by Huang Tianxuan, who then used a borrowing strength move to suggest "talk outside," rendering Li Peifeng's expression stiff, eyes dazed, lips twitching.
But Li Peifeng, being Li Peifeng, endured the pain, holding fort while grinning slightly: "Afraid they'd be sad or you are sad because you see living with them?"
Probing deeper, calm and rational, just an ordinary straight punch, striking Huang Tianxuan's guilty conscience, causing escalating damage!
"I…"
Huang Tianxuan took a deep breath and made a gesture to open her mouth.
"Why don't you live with us?"
Li Peifeng's smile broadened, unhurriedly: "We might as well share a room."
This move of "sharing a room" was so powerful, it resembled the long-lost forbidden art; single-handedly crushing a small asteroid by the Siberian Titan Giant Dragon!
Huang Tianxuan's face went pale, unable to withstand, holding onto the doorknob as if she might not stand: "Stop ssing around, let's talk business!"
Li Peifeng's lips curled into a devilish smile: Just simply irresistible!!
