Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Shanshan Arrives"Shanshan, why didnât you call me before you came? I would have picked you up," Li Yifei joined them on the sofa. With the two sisters sitting on the long sofa, he could only sit on one side.
Xu Shanshan immediately said with a giggle, "Isnât it a surprise attack that I wanted to pull off?"
Li Yifei showed a helpless expression and said, "How come you still donât trust the relationship between your sister and me?"
Xu Shanshan glanced at Xu Yingying and said, "Itâs not that I donât trust it, itâs just that the two of you being together feels kind of weird to me."
Xu Yingying glared and retorted, "Whatâs so weird about it? Donât judge mine and Yifeiâs relationship by your standards, okay?"
"Alright, alright, I wonât look. If I get too picky and you send me back home, then Iâll really be miserable."
Li Yifei laughed and said, "Yingying, Shanshan has come all this way; just let her relax here and have a good time."
Xu Shanshan nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother-in-law is the best."
Xu Yingying snorted and said, "Just your sister is no good."
"My big sister is also great!" Xu Shanshan affectionately wrapped her arms around Xu Yingyingâs neck, then immediately said with a giggle, "Youâre now my lifeline. How could I dare to offend you?"
After a few jokes among them, Li Yifei went to the kitchen to check and then pretended there were things missing, so he ran out again. With Xu Shanshan here these next few days, she would only be able to stay here, so he had to let Su Mengxin and the others know; otherwise, if Su Mengxin and Meng Xiaofei called for no reason and Xu Shanshan overheard, she would definitely become suspicious.
He first called Su Mengxin and told her that he would not be going back home for the next few days. Su Mengxin didnât ask for details, only telling him to let her know once he returned.
Then Li Yifei made a call to Su Yiyi. This girl would stay over at his place every weekend. If he didnât inform her, she would definitely make a wasted trip.
Su Yiyi seemed a little disappointed, yet she obediently agreed. This girl always had a habit of doing things quietly for Li Yifei when she was with him.
After making all these arrangements, Li Yifei then bought a few more groceries and returned to Xu Yingyingâs home.
Upon opening the door, he saw Xu Yingying standing at the entrance. No! He should say he didnât yet realize that the person wasnât Xu Shanshan, so Li Yifei didnât even know how to address her.
"Iâm Yingying. Shanshan is taking a shower," the Xu Yingying by the door said with a slightly troubled frown, helping Li Yifei carry the things to the kitchen, then whispered, "With that girl here, you better be careful."
Li Yifei turned and flicked her on the forehead with a smile, "Shanshan, youâre playing tricks again."
"Giggles..." A clear laughter immediately confirmed Li Yifeiâs assumption. Xu Shanshan rubbed her head, and trying to stop her giggles, looked at Li Yifei in confusion and asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you figure it out?"
Li Yifei smiled smugly and responded, "Did you think your little tricks could fool me? Donât forget, Iâve lived with your sister for several months now. Would I not recognize her?"
Xu Shanshan tilted her head, eagerly asking, "Really? Then tell me, where did I give myself away just now?"
"Iâm not telling you. If I do, youâll correct it the next time, and then how would I recognize you?"
Xu Shanshan immediately grabbed Li Yifeiâs arm and shook it vigorously, cooing, "Brother-in-law, come on, tell me."
Li Yifei, unable to stand Xu Shanshanâs whining, said, "Itâs simple. Iâm always the one doing chores at home, and your sister doesnât lift a finger. Whenever I come back with groceries, she never comes over to take them. Now you come over to take them, isnât that revealing?"
Xu Shanshan let out an "Oh," then pouted and said, "My sister is really something. Itâs such hard work when a boyfriend brings groceries home, and even if she doesnât help, she should at least come over to offer some reward. Sigh... I really donât know how you put up with my sister."
Li Yifei knocked on Xu Shanshanâs head again and chuckled, "Should you really be talking about your sister like that? If I get annoyed with her over this, wouldnât you be to blame for causing mischief?"
"Itâs her own fault for not doing better. Work is important, but so is love. Love isnât just about taking; you also have to give and maintain it. The way she is, Brother-in-law, if you ever got tired of her, Iâd think she had it coming."
Li Yifei was both annoyed and amused as he said, "You little traitor, and your sister always looks out for you."
Xu Shanshan made a face, "I know she cares for me, but sometimes she goes overboard trying to control me. I canât stand her, just like my mom."
"Shanshan, what nonsense are you spouting over there?" Just then, Xu Yingying, dressed in pajamas, a towel in her hand drying her hair, stood at the kitchen doorway.
Facing her quirky, sprite-like little sister, Xu Yingying had to be extremely vigilant. Now, to show Xu Shanshan that she was really living with Li Yifei, she had come out dressed like this.
Xu Shanshan smiled mischievously and said, "I didnât say anything much, just how good my sister has been to me."
Xu Yingying gave her a skeptical look and responded, "Who would believe that? You not scolding me would be surprising enough."
"How could I? You are my dear sister. If I scold you, wouldnât that be like scolding myself?"
Xu Yingying gave her sister a blank look and said, "Stop quibbling here, let your brother-in-law cook."
Xu Shanshan giggled, followed Xu Yingying out, and Li Yifei also relaxed a bit. This time he truly felt the pressure was quite big since Xu Shanshan dressed up like her sister, clearly trying to give him a hard time.
After the food was ready, Xu Shanshan ate with such gusto, and Xu Yingying also ate quite a bit.
"Brother-in-law, your cooking is really delicious, Iâve decided, I wonât leave anymore, Iâll just stay with you guys." After finishing the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room to rest, and Xu Shanshan laid on the chaise longue on the side of the sofa, shamelessly rubbing her stomach.
Xu Yingying immediately protested, "No way, how can it work if you always stay here?"
Xu Shanshan turned around, smiling mischievously at Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, and said, "Big sis, you canât be that stingy, right? I canât even stay at your place? Are you really willing to let your little sister sleep on the streets?"
"You can stay for a few days, but if youâre thinking of mooching off here permanently, thatâs absolutely not happening," Xu Yingying firmly refused.
Xu Shanshan said with a mischievous grin, "Big sis, are you afraid Iâll spoil your romantic coupleâs world?"
Xu Yingying immediately nodded and said, "You know it, do you realize how inconvenient it would be for you to be here?"
Xu Shanshan glanced at Li Yifei and Xu Yingying again and then broke into a loud laugh, causing Xu Yingying, who was starting to feel unnerved, to demand, "What are you laughing about?"
Trying hard to suppress her laughter, Xu Shanshan teased, "I mean, big sis, you and brother-in-law havenât even done âthatâ yet. What kind of coupleâs world is that? It looks more like roommates to me."
These words made Xu Yingying turn red with embarrassment; she was well aware of what her sister was implying and retorted with a mix of shame and irritation, "What nonsense are you spouting? Whatâs between your brother-in-law and me is none of your business, is it?"
Xu Shanshan laughed heartily and said, "Itâs true, isnât it? Since youâre already living together, and you havenât done âthatâ with brother-in-law... hehe, arenât you just torturing him on purpose?"
Xu Yingying, now angry and embarrassed, threatened, "If you keep talking nonsense, Iâm going to kick you out right now."
Xu Shanshan sprang up and said, "Fine fine, I wonât say it then. Iâm off to take a shower, brother-in-law, good luck! Get my sister sorted out soon."
"Go to hell!" Xu Yingying roared, throwing a pillow at Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan dodged and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a bang, leaving the pillow to thud against the glass door of the bathroom.
"Alright, alright, Shanshan was just joking with you. Why take it so seriously?" Li Yifei picked up the pillow and threw a meaningful glance at Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying snorted and said aloud, "That girl is getting more and more outrageous. If I donât discipline her soon, sheâll become completely uncontrollable."
Li Yifei spoke softly, "Shanshan is just a bit naughty, nothing serious. Come on, donât be mad. Youâve been through enough these past days. Let me spend some time with Shanshan. Go do what you need to do."
The two of them were talking so that Xu Shanshan could hear. Of course, Xu Yingying was genuinely upset. She really had no idea what to do with her little sister.
Xu Shanshan had been in the car all day and was quite tired; after her shower, she slipped off to another room to sleep, and after Li Yifei took a shower too, he had no choice but to go to Xu Yingyingâs room.
Li Yifei had already stayed at Xu Yingyingâs place a few times, but it was the first time he would be staying in the same room with her. Even though they had stayed in the same room at Xu Yingyingâs parentsâ house before, being here made Li Yifei feel an amorous atmosphere.
At that moment, Xu Yingying was sitting on the bed with a laptop on her legs, frowning, and she didnât even look up when Li Yifei came in.
Li Yifei didnât disturb her and glanced around the floor but didnât see any bedding. He opened the wardrobe, but found no bedding in the upper shelves either.
Xu Yingying finally lifted her head and asked Li Yifei, "What are you looking for?"
"Iâm looking for bedding," Li Yifei replied in a low voice.
Xu Yingying said somewhat unnaturally, "I donât have any spare bedding left here."
Li Yifei was a bit helpless and said, "Xu president, how can you not even prepare bedding? Do you expect me to sleep on the floor?"
Xu Yingying replied awkwardly, "You... just sleep on the bed too."
Li Yifeiâs eyes widened as he stared at Xu Yingying, "Are you really letting me sleep in the bed with you?"
Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "I asked for your help; I canât expect you to sleep on the floor. Iâm confident about your behavior now; I know you wonât take advantage of me."
Li Yifei grinned and said, "Thatâs not certain. Men make mistakes often in a moment of impulse, and thereâs usually no warning before."
Xu Yingying stared at Li Yifei, dumbfounded, suddenly hesitant.
