Chapter 155 Chu Xiaoyao Playing Tricks

Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Chu Xiaoyao Playing Tricks"Uncle!" Chu Xiaoyao stood at the door with pouted lips, red eyes, a pitiful look on her face, and she was holding a small suitcase in her hand.

"What are you doing?" Li Yifei didn’t let Chu Xiaoyao come in but looked at her with puzzlement.

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes reddened even more, tears rapidly gathering in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks as she sobbed, "I have nowhere to go."

Li Yifei sighed and said, "Come in."

Chu Xiaoyao followed Li Yifei into the living room. Li Yifei handed her a tissue and said, "Wipe your tears."

Chu Xiaoyao took the tissue, wiped her eyes, and hung her head without her usual flamboyance.

"What exactly happened?" Li Yifei sat next to Chu Xiaoyao but still kept a considerable distance between them.

"Uncle!" Chu Xiaoyao looked up at Li Yifei and said, "My parents scolded me; they don’t want a daughter like me anymore, so I ran away from home. Uncle, you must take me in."

"You ran away from home over a fight with your parents?" Li Yifei frowned.

Li Yifei, during his high school years, also disliked studying. His parents would often hit and scold him. Later, because of the incident with Ye Yunzhu, his parents even beat him severely. At that time, he harbored quite a bit of resentment towards his parents. But little did he know that they would die in a car accident soon after, making him realize how painful it was to be without parents.

To not be able to support one’s parents when they are gone, only someone like Li Yifei who lost his parents to death would deeply understand and regret not making them worry less and not being filial while they were alive. When he finally wanted to be dutiful, it was too late; the chance was gone forever.

Li Yifei could understand why Chu Xiaoyao had run away from home. Teenagers at her age tend to be very rebellious and can’t stand their parents’ discipline, so he didn’t think of Chu Xiaoyao as a bad kid for running away. Instead, he gently said, "Okay, your parents scold you, they reprimand you, but it’s for your own good. Don’t be sad."

"What do you mean, ’for my good’? Isn’t it just because I like to play with computers? They absolutely refuse to let me touch them. I tried to reason with them, but they insisted on using parental authority to discipline me. Does one really have to attend university to become successful in this world?" Chu Xiaoyao said emotionally.

Li Yifei broke into a sweat and said, "Although it’s true that one doesn’t necessarily have to attend university to succeed, playing on the computer definitely impacts your studies."

"I’m not just playing games like other people; I’m genuinely researching computer software. Let me tell you, I’m now a pretty awesome hacker, and I want to develop in this area. But in their eyes, I’m just playing all day, not understanding anything. It’s so infuriating."

Li Yifei looked at Chu Xiaoyao with some surprise and said, "You’re a hacker?"

"Of course!" Seeing Li Yifei’s astonished expression, Chu Xiaoyao’s aggrieved look suddenly turned into one of pride, her little chin tilting up like a proud little hen.

"Hehe, didn’t see that coming," Li Yifei chuckled, his surprise already faded. It didn’t matter to him who Chu Xiaoyao was; he had just confirmed that he would not let this girl stay.

Seeing Li Yifei’s expression become more indifferent, Chu Xiaoyao became somewhat anxious and said, "I really am a hacker, you know. Now, I can even breach into a company’s computer system, and my skills keep improving. An older hacker told me that I’m absolutely a genius in this field, and with more effort, my future achievements as a hacker could absolutely rank in the top ten nationwide."

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Then congratulations to you."

"Uncle, what attitude is this? I’m a hacker, you know, and you’re a master hidden in the city. The two of us are kindred spirits; we match so well."

Li Yifei knew this girl would steer the conversation this way, his expression turned stern, and said, "Sorry, I’m not any master; I’m just an ordinary person."

"Right, right, we are ordinary people. In front of others, I’m also just an ordinary person. Although I’m a hacker, even my best friend in class doesn’t know, only you, Uncle, know that I’m a hacker master."

Li Yifei gave Chu Xiaoyao a look and said, "Okay then, ’master’, you can go home now."

Chu Xiaoyao instantly widened her eyes and said indignantly, "Uncle, you can’t be that cruel! I’ve just run away from home, and you’re already sending me back?"

"Yes, I have to send you back. Your parents must be very worried, so you need to go home."

"I don’t care if they’re worried or not. It’s their fault for scolding me."

Li Yifei furrowed his brows and said, "Being scolded is the least of it. If I were your parents, I would definitely spank you hard right now to stop you from running off again."

"Hehe, then I’ll have a child for you later; you can go fight after that."

Li Yifei suddenly felt a headache coming on. Was Chu Xiaoyao really eighteen? She was way too devilish, even able to say such things. He really didn’t understand the world of high school students anymore.

"Is it okay, Uncle? Just let me stay at your place. I didn’t say I’d be your wife. I could be your mistress instead. How about it?" Clinging to Li Yifei’s arm, Chu Xiaoyao shook it vigorously.

"No way!" Li Yifei briskly shook off Chu Xiaoyao’s hand and said, "Get going, or I’ll throw you out myself."

"I won’t leave, I’ve decided to stick to you no matter what." Chu Xiaoyao glowered at Li Yifei, her small fists clenched tight, showing her determination.

Li Yifei shook his head, realizing that Chu Xiaoyao was quite stubborn. If it came down to force, she really wouldn’t leave, so he tried a different approach, put on a smile, and said, "Look, Xiaoyao, think about it. I’m a guy with no money or status. My place is so small. If you become my mistress, I won’t even have the money to support you in the future."

"I’m not afraid. As long as I don’t go hungry, I’ll just eat whatever you eat."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "I don’t even have a computer. If you stay here, you can’t even be a hacker."

Chu Xiaoyao blinked and replied, "That’s easy. My parents will go to work tomorrow, and I’ll sneak into the house and steal the laptop."

"I’m a real weirdo, especially when it comes to women. I’m just not normal. I like playing with all kinds of thrilling stuff, like whipping people, dripping wax on them, and so on. Can you really handle that too?"

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened immediately, staring blankly at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was inwardly pleased, finally having found a way to scare the girl. Just as he was about to embellish the story to make it scarier, Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed loudly, "Uncle, you’re so hardcore with all these fetishes! I’ve seen a lot about them online. I don’t know if they’re fun to play with. How about we try it tonight?"

Li Yifei nearly smashed his head on the coffee table, staring at Chu Xiaoyao in shock. He hadn’t expected the girl to exhibit masochistic tendencies.

"Come on, Uncle, let’s play with whips and wax." Chu Xiaoyao’s voice became sultry all of a sudden.

Li Yifei recoiled in fright, and Chu Xiaoyao chuckled gleefully, her tone triumphant as she said, "Uncle, there’s no need to scare me. Even if you really enjoy that kind of play, I’ll join in. I just like you, and I want to be your mistress. Your scare tactics are just too lame."

She was absolutely bewitching!

Li Yifei’s opinion of Chu Xiaoyao was just that. Facing murderous villains was one thing, but confronting such a bewitching young girl was something Li Yifei wanted to avoid at all costs.

"Uncle, do you really dislike me that much that you want to drive me away?" Suddenly, Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes teared up again, her big eyes shimmering with light, almost heart-meltingly cute.

Li Yifei had no intention of falling for Chu Xiaoyao’s act this time and said coldly, "You’re right. I have the least interest in bean sprout-like little girls like you. Your being here is keeping me from finding a woman, so no, I won’t let you stay."

"Bean sprouts?" Chu Xiaoyao leaped to her feet in anger, thrusting her chest out and declared loudly, "Uncle, are you blind? Do I look like a bean sprout with this figure?"

It had to be said, Chu Xiaoyao’s figure was indeed not bad, with a full chest, not flat like many girls’, along with her youthful vitality, she was definitely the type a devious uncle would love.

Unfortunately for Li Yifei, he was wary of trouble, and since he had promised Ye Yunzhu that he would start anew with her, he definitely couldn’t afford to get entangled with a young girl like this. He spoke sternly, "That’s right. To me, you are just a bean sprout. I like women with fuller breasts and perky butts, and you don’t meet my standards at all."

"I don’t care... I’m not leaving." Chu Xiaoyao, miffed by Li Yifei’s comment, had been well-liked by the boys at school, and a coquettish glance her way would captivate the older men, yet Li Yifei considered her merely a bean sprout.

"Are you leaving or not?" Li Yifei too was getting aggravated, glaring as he raised his voice.

"I’m not leaving!" Chu Xiaoyao said decisively and plopped down on the couch, starting to act stubborn.

"You won’t leave, is that it?" Li Yifei snorted, ready to throw Chu Xiaoyao out, but just then the phone rang at an inconvenient time.

Li Yifei wanted to ignore it, but Chu Xiaoyao seemed to sense Li Yifei’s intent. While he hesitated whether to answer the call, she sprang from the couch, slipped straight into the bedroom, and with a bang, closed the door behind her.

Li Yifei temporarily put Chu Xiaoyao aside, picked up the phone, and saw that it was Ye Yunzhu calling. He immediately answered, and Yunzhu’s voice came through: "Yifei, how about you treat me to dinner tonight? I want to come over to your place."
