My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 588: Chapter 362: Cohabitation and Valentine’s Day

How did the ancients name all things?

Mountains are called Cuiwei, seas Cangyuan, rain as Lingze, snow as Hansu, clouds are named Xianning, wind as Fuyao, the sun is Fuglow, the moon is Wangshu, the sky is Biluo, the earth is Kunling, stars are Baiyu, wind blowing sand is also called Jingsha...

The Xianning gently wraps Cuiwei’s peak, Fuglow enters the depths of Cangyuan. Fuyao stirs the eerie sand, the mountains cradle Wangshu far and wide.

Translated, it means simply this; the day breaks, the sun rises to the horizon, clouds are born as wind stirs, the moon falls upon the mountains, yet at dawn the light is dim and, from afar, the mountains seem to quiver with faint shadow.

Such a common scene, rendered through a heap of words, gives a sense of poetic beauty.

Words truly are amusing!

Li Peifeng feels his skill at ’playing with words’ grows sharper each day, and when he writes with fervor, a smile surfaces on his face, the sound of typing grows inevitably louder.

"Click~"

The bedroom door swings open, He Yimeng pokes her head out, dressed only in her underwear: "I’m done lavishing, you go ahead and cook."

"Right away."

Li Peifeng responds, types a couple more lines, then rises and heads for the kitchen.

After the four girls drove off last night, He Yimeng still came to Li Peifeng’s place, and as soon as they met, no words were wasted—they went straight for a candid encounter, which ended only when He Yimeng couldn’t bear it any longer and drifted off to sleep.

But Li Peifeng had applied perfume, and the scent lingered so long that it had an effect; last night they experienced a Shared Dream, and as Li Peifeng wished to seek inspiration in dreams, he followed her in.

Shared Dreams are customary for Li Peifeng and those four girls, yet for He Yimeng it was her first time, so upon waking she couldn’t stop asking questions.

Though she had heard of this magical experience while giving consultations to Huang Tianxuan, she took it as exaggeration then; experiencing it firsthand with Li Peifeng and having an adventure made her aware of its wonder.

She naturally had many inquiries upon awakening, but while Li Peifeng deflected with non-committal replies, He Yimeng’s curiosity only grew—she talked incessantly while he cooked.

The dream was too real, the experience too delightful.

"Truly a state of fully liberated mind and body. In your dream, into your heart. Watching the moon’s reflection in the clear pond, glimpsing the self outside oneself."

He Yimeng embraced Li Peifeng from behind, appearing both enchanted and a bit forlorn: "Like watching a captivating movie, only to return to dreadful reality once it’s over... I want to do it again, more than once."

Li Peifeng flips the pan, stir-frying: "Still want me to cook?"

"You do as you please."

"Playing with puns, you lose points!"

"Love me, then cook, alright?" He Yimeng said, unable to resist holding him tighter, leaning to his ear with a playful grin: "You’re particularly sexy when cooking—a sight even with Wu Wenyue there, I wanted to slap your behind..."

Through this Shared Dream, He Yimeng’s feelings and attraction toward Li Peifeng became more overt, her uninhibited behavior making her seem somewhat like a female rogue.

Rebellious, artistic, seemingly passionate but actually reclusive, constantly trying various hairstyles and colors, thinking she could thereby replace her life’s bleak backdrop with vivid hues.

Very honest, with a radiant smile that Li Peifeng greatly admires.

After breakfast, the two had an in-depth discussion about the meaning of life and origins of species, leaving He Yimeng satisfied while Li Peifeng tidied up briefly before heading to Zhao Qingge’s place.

He didn’t take much, just a few pairs of underwear, a [Masterpiece Robe], a laptop, and some toiletries.

Li Peifeng felt he wouldn’t stay long at Zhao Qingge’s, for once others learned of them living together, uncontrollable consequences might follow—so he was ready to pack up and leave after a few days...

How many days specifically? That depends on how much of Zhao Qingge’s words the other three had absorbed.

If barely a little, within three days one of them would sneak to Jade District looking for Li Peifeng; upon finding him absent... Oh dear, he’s not here? Where are you? Let me find you!

Game over~

On the way to Zhao Qingge’s, Li Peifeng pondered how to resolve this issue, but the more he thought, the more he felt there was no need to overthink.

The three girls, knowing the full story, might blame him, but the real ire would be towards the duplicitous Old Zhao.

Zhao Qingge’s actions were more despicable than those of a traitor.

Establish rules, praise their benefits, have others follow them while she secretly breaks them...

Yet Li Peifeng harbors some resentment towards all three, for they trusted too easily; Zhao Qingge’s suggestion they freeze him out led them to do so, estranging themselves from him?

They had it coming!

"Let them learn from Zhao Duoduo’s cunning, gain wisdom through hardship, lest they be sold out again and count money for others."

Li Peifeng felt a tad reassured, raised his phone to snap a selfie with his reflection on the subway window, and posted this picture to his Moments, visible only to those three.

"Perhaps you’ll think of me, like a flower that won’t bloom again."

Once off the platform, none of them had liked or commented.

Li Peifeng sighed: "Giving you a chance, yet you don’t seize it!"
