Chapter 131 Doing Bad Things

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Doing Bad ThingsOnce again in the living room, Li Yifei picked up Xu Shanshan. However, unlike Xu Yingying, she wasn’t so well-behaved. As soon as Li Yifei lifted her, both of her arms hugged tightly around his neck.

"Shanshan, what are you doing?" Li Yifei was startled and quickly muttered quietly.

Xu Shanshan just made a smacking sound with her lips and then fell into a deep sleep, leaving Li Yifei speechless. Even asleep, Xu Shanshan seemed to want to hold onto his neck. So, he stopped calling her and carried her into another bedroom.

He laid Xu Shanshan on the bed, yet she still wouldn’t let go of Li Yifei’s neck. Li Yifei had to carefully pry her hands away, and in the process, he caught a glimpse inside Xu Shanshan’s neckline.

At this point, Xu Shanshan’s collar had one button undone, and although it shouldn’t have revealed anything, her grip on Li Yifei’s neck had skewed her clothes. From his vantage point, Li Yifei could see a stretch of snowy-white skin extending downward, the whiteness rising and forming a shallow gorge within the hills, growing deeper and eventually dividing the hills completely in two.

Men have an inherent desire to peek, whether admitted or not. It’s often the unseen that creates the greatest itch. The glimpse Xu Shanshan inadvertently revealed met the conditions for tempting a man to peek. Li Yifei felt an impulse to undo her buttons and witness the beauty inside.

But Li Yifei’s self-restraint was beyond the ordinary, so he quickly loosened Xu Shanshan’s hands, pulled a blanket over her, and finally turned off the light to leave her room.

Li Yifei did not return directly to his bedroom but went to the bathroom for a quick shower. Xu Shanshan had ruffled him earlier, and he needed a shower to calm down.

Staring at his impressive reflection, Li Yifei shook his head. Living with Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, the twin sisters, was indeed a dream, but it was also quite torturous. Hopefully, Xu Shanshan, this fake sister-in-law, would leave soon. Otherwise, being able only to look and not touch might drive him crazy.

The next morning, Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei, who was sleeping beside her, furrowed her brow, and recalled that she might have fallen asleep while watching TV last night. How did she end up in bed?

Li Yifei, seeing Xu Yingying’s gaze, also woke up with a wide smile, saying, "Morning."

"Morning!" Xu Yingying smiled back and said, "Didn’t I fall asleep in the living room last night?"

"I carried you in here."

Xu Yingying’s cheeks immediately flushed, and she said, "Why didn’t you wake me up?"

Li Yifei laughed again and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly and couldn’t bring myself to wake you."

Xu Yingying pursed her lips, sat up, and tidied her disheveled hair, saying, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite. Although I’m just a fake boyfriend, I’m professional about it. Of course, I need to fulfill a boyfriend’s duties."

"Yes, you’re doing well. I’ll give you a thousand-yuan bonus." Xu Yingying didn’t want to complicate matters with Li Yifei, so she immediately mentioned money to ease her conscience a bit.

Li Yifei was slightly taken aback. This time, helping Xu Yingying hadn’t been about money; primarily, she had covered his expenses. However, with Yingying’s offer, Li Yifei didn’t find anything inappropriate and promptly agreed, "Thank you, President Xu."

Seeing Li Yifei readily accept, Xu Yingying felt a bit displeased but still nodded and said, "Alright, then please take good care of Shanshan. But I need to remind you of one thing. When you’re with Shanshan, be mindful. She sees you as a brother-in-law, not as an outsider. You must remember that our relationship is fake, and Shanshan isn’t actually your sister-in-law."

Li Yifei nodded again and said, "Understood, President Xu, don’t worry."

Only then did Xu Yingying leave. However, in the bathroom, she shook her head, feeling her actions had been somewhat excessive. But even if they were, she had to speak up to prevent Li Yifei from misunderstanding the situation.

That day, Li Yifei took Xu Shanshan for another stroll around Mile City. However, nothing notable happened, which disappointed Xu Shanshan. When with Li Yifei, she hoped for exciting adventures rather than simple outings.

In the afternoon, Xu Yingying called. She had to go to the provincial company’s headquarters and wouldn’t return that night. Upon hearing the news, Xu Shanshan immediately cheered with excitement.

"Why are you so excited?" Li Yifei asked, puzzled, looking at Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan chuckled and replied, "Don’t you find it tiring with my big sister around?"

Li Yifei found her words intriguing as if Xu Shanshan planned to do something she wouldn’t dare while her sister was home. However, he realized she didn’t mean anything inappropriate between them, and he feigned surprise, saying, "Really?"

"Of course, when she’s home, you can’t do this or that. Brother-in-law, today’s a rare chance without her, how about we go out and party all night?"

"No way. She will definitely call home. If she finds out we’re not back, she’ll be furious."

Xu Shanshan giggled, "That’s simple. We go home first, disconnect the phone line, and then we can say it’s a technical issue. If she calls our mobiles, we say we’re at home, easy!"

Li Yifei was amused by Xu Shanshan and said, "You seem quite experienced at this mischief."

Xu Shanshan proudly raised an eyebrow, saying, "This isn’t mischief; it’s just that sometimes my big sister is annoying."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Then you should think of where we’re going to play?"

"To a bar, a disco, an amusement center, anywhere fun."

Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Let’s not go anywhere too complicated. How about we just go to a bar and have some drinks. I’ll mix some drinks for you myself."

Xu Shanshan immediately cheered with excitement, "Great, it’s been ages since I last tasted your drinks. Let’s go."

They returned home first. Xu Shanshan disconnected the phone line, then both changed outfits and took a cab to a bar.

This bar was one Li Yifei hadn’t visited before. He usually frequented a bar near his home, where he met He Fangqing and had two encounters with her. But in that bar, the staff somewhat recognized him, so bringing Xu Shanshan there might have been inconvenient.

This bar was busier than the one Li Yifei usually visited, making it relatively noisier, especially since a group of teenagers was causing quite a racket.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan didn’t sit in a booth but went to the bar counter. Li Yifei glanced at the bottles behind the bar and ordered six or seven kinds.

The bartender behind the counter asked Li Yifei curiously, "Sir, are you planning to mix the drinks yourself?"

Xu Shanshan proudly said, "You have a keen eye; yes, we’re mixing ourselves."

The bartender was intrigued and looked at Li Yifei, saying, "Mixing drinks isn’t as easy as it looks."

Xu Shanshan, even prouder, said, "Of course. I bet you can’t mix a Seven-colored Rainbow?"

The bartender’s face changed slightly and said, "Seven-colored Rainbow isn’t easy to make. I manage it about once in ten tries."

"Then you’re not as skilled as my brother-in-law. He can mix a Nine-colored Rainbow."

"Nine-colored Rainbow?" The bartender’s eyes widened. Shaking his head in disbelief, he said, "Impossible. Anyone who can make a Nine-colored Rainbow is a top master, and I don’t see this gentleman among the masters I’ve seen pictures of."

"Brother-in-law, make him a Nine-colored Rainbow and show him." Xu Shanshan loved watching Li Yifei perform impressive feats and immediately urged him.

Li Yifei quite enjoyed indulging his lively sister-in-law. He chuckled, "Alright, I’ll make one for you."

The bartender, half-skeptical, watched Li Yifei. Having mixed drinks for so long, he doubted an unknown person like Li Yifei could create a Nine-colored Rainbow. Without waiting for instructions, he laid out the glasses for Li Yifei.

Unfazed, Li Yifei picked up a shaker, shaking with his left hand and pouring with his right. His movements were skillful, without a hint of sloppiness.

Li Yifei’s performance wasn’t flashy, and the bartender wasn’t much of an expert, curling his lips and thinking Li Yifei’s technique looked more like blending rather than mixing—just pouring different drinks into one glass.

But as Li Yifei gently set down the glass, the bartender was left speechless. Under the bar’s lights, the drink’s layers were distinct with nine vivid colors, dazzling in their brilliance. Xu Shanshan squinted at the glass, lost in thought.

"Drink up." Li Yifei, ignoring the bartender’s gaping look, smiled and nudged Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan nodded, carefully sipping the drink, tasting the various flavors that sequentially blended and combined in her mouth—sometimes spicy, sometimes mellow, sometimes refreshing. It was indescribably magical.

The drink wasn’t large, but Xu Shanshan felt herself getting tipsy. It wasn’t the first time she’d tasted Li Yifei’s concoctions, yet each time seemed to unveil more unique flavors, increasingly rich and enjoyable. After finishing the drink, she looked at Li Yifei, her eyes a little dazed, with a blush on her cheeks. It was unclear whether it was the alcohol or something else causing it.

Li Yifei meeting her gaze felt a little uneasy now. That look reminded him too much of the way Su Yiyi used to look at him.
