Li Peifeng returned ho again and chatted briefly with the two girls who were tidying up the room. After learning from Xu Manning that she had bought the house and the three would rent together in the future, he put on another performance.
"What? You’re going to buy this house?! Why bother? As long as Wenyue agrees, you can completely share a room with her, why spend so much money to buy a house?"
"You haven’t signed the contract yet, have you? Let talk to the landlord..."
Xu Manning raised her chin: "From now on, your rent is free."
"Oh, then it’s fine!"
"Miss Xu, you’re mighty! Miss Xu, you’re impressive! I’ll never forget your kindness!"
"You seem quite happy?" Wu Wenyue said nonchalantly.
"Not exactly happy, but what can I do? Moving is too troubleso, and I’ve lived here for more than five years, I’ve gotten used to it."
After speaking, Li Peifeng smiled playfully: "You’ll be sharing a bed again, maybe you’re getting back together?! If so... I’d suggest keeping the noise down so I can write in peace."
If I hear anything, I will inevitably launch a death charge, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Xu Manning’s eyes dodged: "What are you talking about?"
"Get out!" Wu Wenyue also snapped: "Stop talking nonsense, we’re tidying up here!"
"OKOK!"
Acting is quite tiring, especially after what just happened, everyone has their own thoughts, but everyone feels a bit uneasy...
So Li Peifeng seized the opportunity to retreat to his own room to avoid saying more and exposing himself.
Once back in his room, the first thing Li Peifeng did was turn on the computer and log into TT.
Because he suddenly thought of how to find Zhao Qingge’s TT account.
He sent the paper to her on September 30th, aning Old Zhao only knew his pen na on that day, and his photo was posted on October 5th...
"I just need to open the group system ssage page, check who joined the book fans’ group between September 30th and October 5th, and investigate them one by one. There’s a high chance of catching her!!"
Without delay, Li Peifeng clicked on the group system ssage page, scrolling through the mbership records during that period.
Soon, he identified fourteen accounts that joined the group within those six days.
Li Peifeng checked each person’s profile, examining their information and TT space, making deductions based on these details:
"Awake in the Human World, 18, from Shun’an... Not it!"
"Old Friends on the Street, 21, from Hu Zhou... Not it!"
"Good People’s Life is Flat, from Liaoning, no age... Definitely not. Old Zhao is definitely not flat!"
After ten minutes, Li Peifeng narrowed down the target to one account nad "Yun Xin Yue Xing", listed as 28 years old, with no address, and a TT space set to friends-only, female account.
There were actually three other suspicious accounts, but none were online, so Li Peifeng noted down their nas to probe when they were.
Conveniently, the "Yun Xin Yue Xing" account was online, so Li Peifeng simply requested to add her as a friend to investigate further.
Half a minute later, the verification was approved.
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Author? What’s up?"
Li Peifeng didn’t reply yet; he quickly opened her TT space after the friend request was accepted, searching for more intel.
But the originally ’friends-only’ TT space was suddenly turned private again for so reason.
"Did I catch her?"
Li Peifeng wasn’t sure. The na seed like Zhao Qingge’s style, and making the TT space private had so implications. But this wasn’t direct evidence, the information was scarce, her self-declared age of 28 didn’t match Old Zhao’s, so he wasn’t confident.
Is there any surefire way to confirm it?
After pondering briefly, Li Peifeng began typing on the keyboard...
A Breath of Wind in the World: "(Smile) I’m quite broke these days, please send a 20 yuan red packet as a group joining fee, I hope you don’t misunderstand, miss."
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "A group joining fee??? Do others pay?"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Don’t worry about others; I’ll count to three, send the red packet over, or I’ll kick you out."
...
"This little brat!"
Zhao Qingge was fuming internally. She was sure that Li Peifeng definitely didn’t know ’Yun Xin Yue Xing’ was her; this TT account was always for private use and had never interacted with colleagues or students. Asking for a red packet was probably a trick to provoke her into exposing her identity?
Well, I won’t! I’ll just keep lurking in the group!
Twenty yuan isn’t much; I’ll send it. As long as I don’t admit it, he’ll never truly know.
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "(Red packet)"
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "(Sweat) I sent it to you, what’s up with you, author? Why are you so poor? Didn’t the book fans recently send you a red packet?"
Others sent it, but you didn’t!!
Li Peifeng claid the red packet without a second thought, with the system notification popping up before his eyes and ringing in his ears...
[Zhao Qingge granted 20 yuan, 29003 yuan left to complete the assessnt task (Zhao Qingge).]
"It’s her~ it’s her~ it’s definitely her~ my ntor~ little fool..."
"Keep it simple~ Leave out the progressive emotions~ You’re not an actor..."
Li Peifeng excitedly sang two songs, calming his excitent before chuckling softly: "Still acting with ? Fine! Let’s see how long you can keep it up!"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Covered with dust and soot, temples turning gray, fingers turning black—writing online literature has no future, resulting in a dusty face, graying hair, and cramped fingers. I’ve co to terms with reality, planning to find a side job. Miss, do you have money? For ten thousand a month, I’ll chat with you."
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Chat?"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Chatting service available; can add V, gifting a selfie a day (without face, can show abs), one voice ssage (not exceeding twenty minutes each), and saying good morning, noon, and night, reminding you to eat and sleep on ti. Text chat anyti, but please don’t rush for replies, I’m very busy."
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Isn’t this online dating???"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "If you want online dating, that’s possible too, but it’ll cost more money, after all, I’m a man of principle."
In reality, I’m timid and reserved; online, I strike hard!
Facing Zhao Qingge through the screen, Li Peifeng felt his courage swell tenfold, possibly also stimulated by Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue earlier; the reckless heart inside him pounded like a boil, impossible to suppress.
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "..."
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Well? Miss, want chat service or online dating?"
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Let think about it!"
Let think about it, should I call your mom again!!!
Sitting before the computer, Zhao Qingge tried to calm her anger with deep breaths, but just as she’d composed herself, the next ssage from Li Peifeng ignited her again.
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Alright, miss, think it over; I’ll go chat with other book fans now."
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Wait a minute!!!"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "No problem, the chat service isn’t exclusive to you, Miss, let know when you’ve decided, and I’ll serve you all together, won’t delay."
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "So you’re canvassing for business or clients??"
A Breath of Wind in the World: "Not business, definitely no transaction involved. Kindhearted miss grants money, and I’m grateful, offering her so minor psychological comfort... But I estimate I can accommodate at most three misses simultaneously; any more and I’d be swamped. If you’re wealthy, you can monopolize, giving three hundred thousand a month, and I’ll exclusively serve you, guaranteeing satisfaction!"
Zhao Qingge really wanted to screenshot this chat and show it to Li Peifeng’s parents, but what for...
Li Peifeng never used to be like this; at most, he was just a playful kid with a good nature. Why has he beco so rcenary now?
Family causes can be ruled out; Zhao Qingge had called to check, and his parents were perfectly well, so it had to be him.
Is this the moral decay behind it all, or a distortion of human nature, or perhaps, did he encounter so financial trouble himself and find no other way?
Yun Xin Yue Xing: "Tell , what problem are you facing, why are you so desperate for money?"
Unlike before, Zhao Qingge didn’t receive a quick response, because Li Peifeng’s beloved mother, Yu Huizhi, called her eldest son.
Upon answering, the first thing she said startled Li Peifeng, scaring him out of his wits.
"Fengfeng, Director Zhao called today..."
This payback ca so fast?
Old Zhao, you’re hardcore too, chatting with while tattling to my mom?
All I did was chat a bit with a female netizen, you’re not Zhao Qingge with Yun Xin Yue Xing, why are you so anxious and angry? Can’t take a joke or what??
