Chapter 614 - 370: Three Who Lock Away Their Hearts and Love 3_v2

And this dedication brought Li Peifeng the most lucrative return in his online literature career.

As of the evening of the 21st, "Sword and Law" had been on the shelf for five days, uploading ninety-five thousand words, twenty-five VIP Chapters.

The highest subscription for a single Chapter was 510,000, with an average subscription of 447,000. It ranked first on the bestselling list, first on the monthly vote list, and first in the reading index across the site.

Excluding rewards and ranking bonuses, just from the first twenty-five Chapters, totaling ninety-five thousand words in the VIP section, Li Peifeng was able to earn nearly a million in subscription income.

Earning a million in five days, although there was the factor of explosive updates before the launch, the expected five million monthly manuscript fee was definitely within reach, and with rewards, external site channels, ranking bonuses, and other income added together, it might even increase further.

Buying a house in the Capital in two months is no dream!

His career is thriving, and a bright future seems to be beckoning to Li Peifeng.

But as the ancients said: people have joys and sorrows, the moon has phases.

So sages have concluded from the experience that gains inevitably come with losses; success at work, disappointment in love.

Well, Li Peifeng is a prime example of this saying right now, successful at work, disappointed in love, and the disappointment is not because of Zhao Qingge.

During the cohabitation, his relationship with Old Zhao gradually warmed up, steadily improving, so this disappointment lay with the others.

From the 15th until the day before school started, he had been in a cold war with Wu Wenyue and the other three girls for six days...

Six days!

Xu Manning: "It’s about to be the seventh day, no WeChat, no calls, @Tianxuan, did she look for you today?"

Huang Tianxuan: "Is it seven days? From the morning of the 15th, when you told me Li Peifeng wants to have some cool-off period, to now, at 17:03 on the 21st, I just remember it’s been one hundred fifty-nine hours without contacting me."

Wu Wenyue: "You remember it so clearly, do you mark a tally on your leg every hour?"

Huang Tianxuan: "Don’t joke around with me, be respectful!"

Xu Manning: "The seventh day of the deceased is almost over, and he hasn’t resurrected yet, seems truly dead."

Wu Wenyue: "Let’s bury him, I’ve given up too."

The six days seemed long yet short.

After Li Peifeng expressed the need to ’cool off’, the first reaction of the three girls was anger. Previously, they were the ones actively initiating the cold war against Li Peifeng, but now it was his turn to play this trick, purely asserting himself and taking them by surprise, making them both angry and annoyed.

Alright, since you’re taking the first day of the month, we’ll take the fifteenth. You and Zhao Qingge can enjoy your cohabitation, let’s see if you’re willing to trade Old Zhao for us three, if you can endure this!

Although it’s a winter break, Huang Tianxuan and the other two have their respective jobs to attend to; Li Peifeng’s not reaching out to them didn’t bother them initially.

Xu Manning even confidently said to Wu Wenyue; this scoundrel will definitely come back to appease us within three days, and when he does we mustn’t let him off easily!

Wu Wenyue felt the same, and Huang Tianxuan had similar thoughts, even loudly declaring the slogan, "Dare to love, dare to remain indifferent."

She had already changed the name of their group chat to ’Seal Heart, Lock Love’.

The three of them established a gentleman’s agreement that none of them would proactively contact Li Peifeng to end this cold war.

Whoever reaches out first loses!

This time is different from before, where someone would secretly go find Li Peifeng, breaking their word, attempting to take the initiative... that wasn’t happening.

Because Zhao Qingge, the top nemesis, was right there, she is the common enemy of the three.

With Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge cohabiting and having said those words to the other three, the issue became quite serious.

Led by Xu Manning, the three unanimously believed it was a life-and-death struggle.

The cursed competitive spirit of women was in full swing.

Men’s competitive spirit often involves direct confrontation between men, like I’m stronger in a fight than you, or I study better than you, that sort of thing. But women are slightly different, tending towards the indirect confrontation of "He likes me, not you, so I’m superior to you."

Regarding Li Peifeng’s preference, Wu Wenyue and the others actually understood that Zhao Qingge was indeed ranked first in his heart.

But ultimately, they didn’t believe Li Peifeng would abandon the three of them and choose just Zhao Qingge.

However, if Li Peifeng had to choose between Old Zhao and the duo of Wu and Xu, or Old Zhao and Huang Tianxuan, no one among the three had confidence, so they tacitly chose to unite.

Alright, now it’s one against three, how could we lose? Advantage is ours!

Li Peifeng won’t take long before he comes running back to appease us.

But after five days have passed, there was still no sign of Li Peifeng, as if he vanished into thin air, showing no intention to calm things down, and their anger slowly subsided, leading to a bit of panic.

But seeking out Li Peifeng was out of the question; they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

The three could only discuss it among themselves in the small group chat, where the sisters were all losers, speaking kindly to each other, comforting one another—they really loved that place...

Huang Tianxuan: "Old Zhao has been showing off food in her Moments lately, not repeating a meal, obviously cooked by Peifeng, are you not planning on dealing with them? Just watching her flaunt?

Xu Manning: "Hilarious, I’ve already blocked her Moments, let her show off to herself!"

Wu Wenyue: "If you want to deal with her, go ahead; we’ll support you."
