Sister Zheng was taken aback: "You’re not a couple? But I’ve already told the TV station that you are. They ca because they thought it would be a hot topic..."
Look at that, at her age, she’s still making assumptions!
Li Peifeng casually took another al box from the thermal container and quietly started his second helping.
"We’re really not a couple."
He Ying also took a seat next to him and said slowly, "But if you think it would be difficult to explain otherwise, I don’t mind pretending to be a screen couple with him."
"That’s deceit!"
Li Peifeng imdiately shook his head, "And it would damage your reputation. I absolutely disagree."
Sister Zheng sighed, "Forget it, Xiaong, just prepare yourself for the interview."
At two in the afternoon, as expected, a reporter from Capital Satellite TV arrived for a filming interview with He Ying.
The interview was held in Building 1, in the garage that was about to be transford into the ’True Emotions Psychological Consultation Studio,’ with He Ying as the main subject.
Li Peifeng and other volunteers were busy moving desks and chairs into the garage, all office supplies donated by the community. They played the role of extras.
"Alright, that’s it. Thank you."
After asking a few questions, the female reporter regretfully complained to Sister Zheng, saying ’didn’t you say they were a couple volunteers before?’ to which the latter apologized repeatedly before seeing her off.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you’re on TV now."
Li Peifeng handed a bottle of water over to He Ying, "See if this arrangent of desks and chairs works for you?"
The garage wasn’t big, about thirty square ters, fitting two large sofas, a coffee table, a set of office chairs, and a water dispenser was just about enough.
"There’s nothing wrong with it."
He Ying glanced around, nodding slightly, "Anyway, it will be remodeled after the lockdown is lifted. We’ll just lay the floor for now."
"OK!"
Li Peifeng looked around, seeing that the garage was set up and everyone else had left, he also lifted his foot to leave.
There were many new volunteer sign-ups, manpower could even be said to be excessive. There were twelve people in six groups just for patrolling. Li Peifeng felt that staying here didn’t serve any purpose, so he might as well go ho to do his howork.
He Ying, however, reached out to stop him, "Wait a minute, are you going ho?"
"Yes, anything you need?"
"Co to my place first. I’m also off this afternoon."
While holding his hand, He Ying started walking out, using a remote to lower the garage door.
Li Peifeng hesitated, "Why am I going to your place?"
He Ying smiled slightly, "The four visitors didn’t pay a consultation fee, but they didn’t co empty-handed, either. They gave a lot of snacks, fruits, drinks, and red wine. Do you want so?"
[I’ve been an emotional dumping ground for half the day, I’m so tired. I need to unwind... I was very satisfied yesterday, I’ll give you another chance to ’trade labor for goods.’ I hope you don’t take it for granted!]
Li Peifeng already felt the thoughts deep in this white-haired person’s heart. While feeling amused, he also felt more indignant, so he shook his head resolutely, "No!"
"If you don’t want it, do the people at your house not want it either?"
Li Peifeng’s expression changed, "If they found out... No!"
He Ying furrowed his brow and tried to persuade, "Over half a month, just eating als isn’t enough, is it? Without snacks to pass the ti, fruits to supplent vitamins, and drinks to spice things up, you tough guys may manage, but they’re females, and this would seriously harm their physical and ntal well-being! You don’t want to see that happen, do you?"
The beautiful face under the white hair was like a devil’s, and the words were insidious, aiming to lure soone into betraying their conscience and body, and fall into the abyss with deceitful tongues.
But, I have to admit, Li Peifeng was swayed a little, not because of his lack of willpower, but because He Ying’s proposal was tempting.
During the community lockdown, apart from necessary living supplies, snacks and fruits were not available for purchase from outside. Although there was a small supermarket in the community, it had also been sealed off last night as soon as the lockdown was imposed. So, these things were all the more precious, and every bit used can’t be replaced...
The two went to the property office, took off their protective gear, and headed towards Building 1.
"Feng, just imagine."
He Ying was still gently persuading, "When you get ho, carrying a big bag full of various snacks and three to four bottles of red wine and beer, along with two to three pounds of fruit like bananas, apples, grapes, cherries, oranges... How delighted would they be, how happy would they be eating those?"
"These things normally don’t matter, you can buy them anywhere, but in this special lockdown period, they have no market value. Everyone’s heart is filled with gloom. The snacks and fruits you bring back carry much greater significance. They’ll fill their bland taste buds with sweetness, dispel the gloom in their hearts, bringing a splash of color to their dull lives during lockdown!"
I think it’s more like putting a green hat on their heads!
Li Peifeng’s mouth twitched, unable to hold back, "Stop talking, I don’t believe you’d be so kind to give free snacks and fruits!"
He Ying’s eyes curved into crescent moons, "Free? What are you thinking? What’s our relationship? Did you forget?"
[Just sweat it out for , I didn’t do well yesterday, I must redeem myself today or I’ll work you to death...]
You’re racking your brains!
Li Peifeng clenched his teeth, "Just say it, how do we settle it? If I let you... let you have your way once, how much reward do I get?"
That’s right, for the family, for the happy life of the three girls at ho, the highly responsible Li Peifeng decided to sacrifice himself for the greater good, agreeing to the unreasonable request of this white-haired person in front of him!!
"Once, you get a bag of spicy strips, or an apple, or a drink, you can choose any one of the three."
He Ying blinked, his tone soft, but his words were ruthless.
Too much! This is despicable oppression, taking advantage of soone in dire straits, forcing a good person into sothing horrible!! This is a cri!!!
But under soone’s roof, one has no choice but to lower his head. Imagining the girls at ho eating snacks, fruits, and having drinks or beer, showing expressions of happiness, Li Peifeng’s lips trembled with anger but he had to compromise, "This barely compensates my energy consumption. ngng, how can you be so heartless?!"
"I simply trust in your capability, that’s all. You don’t want to?"
He Ying walked light-footed, tone relaxed, "If not, that’s fine, let’s not make it seem like I’m forcing you."
"I... I want to!"
Li Peifeng grabbed He Ying’s hand, eyes glowing coldly, speculating on the other person’s bottom line, he raised two fingers, "But it must be this amount, or I won’t take my pants off!"
He Ying’s lips curled upwards, as if reluctantly agreeing, "Alright, then!"
"Co on, follow ho~"
He Ying said with a smile, "I’m sure when you bring back snacks and fruits, they’ll be very happy too!"
Before entering Building 1, Li Peifeng turned to look at his own ho in Building 2. That glance was too complex, carrying far too much.
Understanding his feelings, He Ying said kindly, "Don’t worry, as long as you behave, I’ll keep it a secret for you."
Li Peifeng rolled his eyes, "Overacting, don’t use that tone, it’s kind of disgusting."
He Ying imdiately complained, "Ah, you’re so annoying, don’t you have any sense of service? Today, as a counselor, I had back-to-back consultations with three housewives, and a child with autism... I’m under a lot of pressure, so I want to play a coercive role for a bit, can’t you just cooperate?"
Li Peifeng showed no expression, "Fine, whatever you say."
He Ying mused, "Then I’ll play the bad sister, and you play the pure and innocent boy, and if you do well, I’ll directly give you half of everything!"
Li Peifeng imdiately rembered the scene with Wu Wenyue yesterday, this is a pure reversal of roles, apart from retribution, he had nothing to say...
"Deliver the lines, give so emotional reaction!"
In just a few steps they reached the door, but He Ying didn’t open it and started command again.
Li Peifeng sighed, pretending to be timid as he looked around, hesitantly saying, "Sis, is this your place? I’m so scared, why did you bring to your place?"
He Ying couldn’t help but chuckle, "Be good now, sis will let you watch movies, eat snacks, and play so gas~"
