Chapter 85 The Same Attitude

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 The Same AttitudeSu Yiyi had been lost in daydreams about Li Yifei being a hero, and was even more infatuated with feeling embraced by him. Even when Chu Xiaoyao appeared, she remained in a confused state, never thinking of letting go of Li Yifei. However, Chu Xiaoyao’s questioning finally snapped Su Yiyi back to reality, and she quickly and subconsciously released Li Yifei, looking at Chu Xiaoyao in panic.

Li Yifei felt that if Chu Xiaoyao got involved, it would definitely be very troublesome. At that moment, he had an idea and extended his arm to once again embrace Su Yiyi, saying, "She is my girlfriend, Su Yiyi. Xiaoyao, you should call her ’auntie.’

"Auntie..." Su Yiyi was suddenly at a loss for words. How old was she that she was already being called ’auntie’? However, what overwhelmed her more was the sweetness of it all. Li Yifei had actually acknowledged her as his girlfriend. Was this Li Yifei accepting her? Her heart fluttered like a little deer, her face so red it seemed it might bleed, and she had no strength in her legs, leaning limply into Li Yifei’s arms.

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened, filled with anger and a sense of wronging, and she sized up Su Yiyi up and down, angrily saying, "You’re lying to me, she is not your girlfriend."

Li Yifei grinned and said, "If she wasn’t my girlfriend, could I embrace her like this?"

"That’s not true, she isn’t suitable for you," Chu Xiaoyao shook her head firmly.

Li Yifei turned his head and gently kissed Su Yiyi’s face, asking, "Do you believe it now?"

"I don’t believe it!" The fury in Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes intensified, but she still shook her head.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, we’re going home now." Then, he walked past Chu Xiaoyao with Su Yiyi in his arms.

Chu Xiaoyao immediately followed, grabbing Li Yifei’s other arm and loudly saying, "Uncle, don’t lie to me, she’s not really your girlfriend. Could I be your girlfriend instead?"

"Stop fooling around," Li Yifei was truly at a loss, kids these days were just too bold.

"I’m not fooling around. If she was really your girlfriend, she’d get mad at me clinging to you, but she didn’t at all. Hmph, don’t think I’m young and don’t understand," said Chu Xiaoyao.

Li Yifei was truly speechless and secretly admired Chu Xiaoyao for being quite clever.

Chu Xiaoyao swayed Li Yifei’s arm again, cooing, "Uncle, please agree to it. I’ll be your girlfriend and take good care of you."

Li Yifei had a headache, but he was least interested in this kind of girl and with a stern glance, said, "No, go do what you need to do, we are heading home."

Su Yiyi saw her tender moment with Li Yifei interrupted by Chu Xiaoyao and felt uncomfortable inside seeing Chu Xiaoyao stick to Li Yifei like this. Being gentle by nature, she found it difficult to be cold or harsh towards Chu Xiaoyao.

But still she mustered up some courage and softly said, "I live with Brother Li."

"What?" Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes immediately widened, staring intently at Su Yiyi across Li Yifei.

Puffing up her chest, Su Yiyi’s face was so red it seemed blood would drip out; nevertheless, she faced Chu Xiaoyao’s gaze and said, "I’ve already moved in with Brother Li, so please don’t disturb him again."

Chu Xiaoyao shot a murderous look at Li Yifei and demanded, "Uncle, is that really true?"

Li Yifei never expected Su Yiyi to boldly say such a thing, but he just wanted to get rid of Chu Xiaoyao now and quickly said, "Yes, we’re living together; on the weekends, she stays at my place."

Feeling Chu Xiaoyao’s cold hand, Li Yifei didn’t feel guilty. Being soft-hearted towards the girl at this point would be more harmful, so he continued to smile at her while secretly squeezing Su Yiyi’s hand in appreciation.

Su Yiyi also gently squeezed Li Yifei’s hand, feeling an indescribable joy. Even though she knew this was Li Yifei’s way of rejecting Chu Xiaoyao and that he hadn’t really accepted her, she was still very happy and contented.

Seeing Chu Xiaoyao’s face change several times, Li Yifei thought he had been successful and was now waiting for the girl to storm off in anger.

However, after her expression had flickered a few times, Chu Xiaoyao suddenly said fiercely to Li Yifei, "Fine, then I’ll move in with you too. I don’t believe I can’t compete with her."

Li Yifei stumbled, tripping over his right foot with his left—which had not happened since he was a soldier. He was utterly thunderstruck by Chu Xiaoyao’s words, but thankfully he reacted quickly and steadied himself.

Li Yifei had indulged himself in the past, and indeed it had been thrilling, but that was when he was letting loose. He had never considered playing around like that now, especially since it was a high schooler, Chu Xiaoyao, who had made such a statement. It was truly overwhelming.

If Li Yifei was overwhelmed, then Su Yiyi felt even more so; she was so embarrassed she could barely lift her head.

And what was even more frustrating for Li Yifei at that moment was that between the three of them stood another person, Officer Lin Qiong, the policewoman, who was glaring at Li Yifei with a face full of wrath, as if ready to commit murder.

Undoubtedly, Lin Qiong had overheard what Chu Xiaoyao said, and that policewoman, with her strong sense of justice, would certainly believe that Li Yifei had deceived the two young girls.

"Officer Lin, what a coincidence," Li Yifei chuckled dryly, greeting her.

"Quite the coincidence!" Lin Qiong squeezed out three words through clenched teeth, her voice was so cold it could make one’s hair stand on end.

Li Yifei laughed awkwardly and said, "Then I won’t disturb Officer Lin’s work anymore; we were just leaving."

"No one’s leaving!" Lin Qiong glared at Li Yifei, glanced at Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao, and said sternly, "Hand over your ID cards."

Today was Saturday, so Lin Qiong wasn’t wearing her uniform, but Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao knew she was a police officer after hearing Li Yifei call her "Officer Lin." Su Yiyi timidly handed over her ID card to Lin Qiong.

Lin Qiong looked it over and frowned, "You’re a college student. Do you know what you’re doing?"

With a blush on her face, Su Yiyi whispered, "I know... Brother Li is a good person, I... I..."

"Hmph!" Lin Qiong glared at Li Yifei and said resentfully, "You’ve got your ways, don’t you?"

Li Yifei smiled wryly and said, "You’ve misunderstood."

Lin Qiong snorted and turned to Chu Xiaoyao, "Your ID card."

Chu Xiaoyao’s lips curled, "Didn’t bring it."

"Didn’t bring it? What’s your name?"

"Chu Xiaoyao."

"Home address?"

Chu Xiaoyao quickly said, "Hey, Officer Lin, what’s this about? Are we on the street committing a crime or something?"

Lin Qiong, with a stern face, replied, "I suspect this guy of abducting an underage girl, so please cooperate with the investigation."

Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly, "Officer Lin, don’t you think this is a bit much?"

Chu Xiaoyao pouted and said, "Don’t intimidate us with your police status. You say you’re an officer, do you have your badge? Show it to me."

Lin Qiong was speechless; she had simply come out to take care of some errands and happened to pass by here. Usually, even on weekends, she would carry her badge, but today, of all days, she had forgotten it. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chu Xiaoyao, seizing the upper hand, continued, "See, without a badge, who can prove you’re a cop? What gives you the right to question us? Look, if you fancy my uncle, just say it. Don’t play these games here; I’m not falling for it."

Lin Qiong’s face grew even uglier, and, unable to temper her anger with a young girl, turned her glare to Li Yifei, "Li Yifei, watch yourself. If I catch you with evidence, I will personally arrest you."

Li Yifei broke into a cold sweat and said, "Officer Lin, I honestly don’t know how I’ve offended you."

Lin Qiong huffed coldly, "You haven’t offended me; it’s that I’ve seen your true nature. Changing women every other day, you’re nothing but a heartbreaker. I’m warning you two, better keep your distance from him."

Chu Xiaoyao, triumphant, retorted, "I’m quite happy to be duped, is it any of your business? Uncle, let’s go,"

Li Yifei, not wanting Chu Xiaoyao to make things worse, hastened to say, "Stop spouting nonsense; I don’t like you, you little brat."

Lin Qiong stamped her foot in frustration and said bitterly, "I will check into this, for sure, for sure. You’d better not get caught red-handed."

"Giggle, seeing that cop get so mad she turned black was hilarious," Chu Xiaoyao laughed merrily once they were out of Lin Qiong’s sight.

Li Yifei snorted, "Do you realize how much trouble this could cause me?"

Chu Xiaoyao cocked her head, latching onto Li Yifei’s arm, "What kind of trouble can there be?"

As naive as a calf not fearing the tiger, these kids didn’t know fear or what trouble meant. Knowing that talking to her would be futile, Li Yifei could only say, "All right then, listen to me now, I’m going home. You better go do whatever you’re supposed to be doing."
