Chapter 709 401: Hide and Seek (Part 2)

"Let go!"

Zhao Qingge wore a slightly angry expression, seemingly wanting to separate Xu Manning from Li Peifeng herself. Miss Xu seemed a little scared and loosened her grip on Li's hands slightly, but the next moment, she gathered her courage again: "Why are you interfering in my business? Not only am I hugging him now, but in a while, I'm going to bed with him. What can you do about it? Besides, I'll have you know, it's with Wenyue too..."

Wu Wenyue rolled her eyes, "Shut up!"

"You guys!"

Zhao Qingge's lips twitched, and her face flushed red with anger. Just as she was about to explode, Huang Tianxuan quickly put her arm around her shoulder and forcefully turned her toward the door, comforting her: "Alright, alright, let's go. Out of sight, out of mind. Go home, hurry home. It's not worth getting angry. Your health is your own, men are just passing moments."

"Dear, how about I drive you home..."

Zhao Qingge turned her head to give Li another deep look, her fists clenched, truly wanting to give him a couple of punches, but a moment later she turned back, walked out the door without saying a word, and headed for the elevator.

"Bye-bye!"

"Click~"

Wu Wenyue was quick. As soon as the two left, she swiftly closed the door.

Li Peifeng was still savoring the look Zhao Qingge gave him before she left. He had never seen anything like it before; there was sadness, helplessness, disappointment, resentment, disdain... almost every negative emotion, a look as cold as minus thirty-eight point six degrees.

Beautiful, yet chilling!

"Alright, stop dawdling, go sweep the floor."

Wu Wenyue casually said, "The floor at home is a bit dirty, you sweep first, then I'll mop."

Thinking too much is also unhelpful. No matter what results Zhao Qingge and Huang Tianxuan's conversation might lead to, Li Peifeng couldn't change it, because that's the nature of internal conflicts. Only when they're firm and clear-headed can these complicated feelings go further, and the conflicts be resolved.

And Wu, Xu, and Huang have evidently come to terms with it, leaving Zhao Duoduo... perhaps it's good to let her talk it over with Huang Tianxuan, as it's something she will face sooner or later. Acceptance or not, it's a choice of two!

"I sweep the floor, she mops the floor, what will you do?"

Li Peifeng composed himself, calmly looking at Xu Manning, who had let go of him.

"I still have work, you guys go ahead, thanks for the hard work~"

Miss Xu waved dismissively with little sincerity, then tried to head to the bedroom, but just half a step out, Li Peifeng pulled her back, questioning: "Didn't you promise to play games with me?!"

"Play what, I just finished eating, and I'm busy... you guys do the chores!"

Xu Manning's eyes flickered, her face slightly red, trying to extricate herself, but how could Li Peifeng let her get away so easily?

Li grabbed Xu Manning with one hand and Wu Wenyue with the other: "You play after you eat, perfect for post-meal exercise."

Wu Wenyue wasn't willing: "Go away, I need to take a shower."

"What shower right after eating? We'll shower together later."

Li Peifeng released them, took a step forward, took a new mask from the box on the shoe cabinet, then put it over his eyes, facing the dumbfounded Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning: "Are you ready?"

"Why are you putting a mask over your eyes..."

"Seriously, you want to play? How old are you? Isn't this childish?!"

Li grinned coldly, "Less talk, the game has started, if I catch you, you won't get away without consequences... hmm, if I catch you, take off a piece of clothing!"

"You lunatic, are you crazy?!"

Wu Wenyue cursed under her breath, frowning as she sensed trouble brewing, she seized the opportunity to retreat slightly, two steps around the space...

She had already begun contemplating where to hide once the game truly started.

Xu Manning saw that Li Peifeng was determined to play, so at this point, she stopped refusing but still found an excuse: "No way, it's easy to see through a single mask, wear another one."

"Wear eight more if you like, catching you is a walk in the park."

Li Peifeng turned around disdainfully, rubbing the mask box on the shoe cabinet, obviously complying with Xu Manning's request, planning to wear another one.

Meanwhile, Miss Xu wasn't idle either, crazily giving Wu Wenyue eye signals, and pointed to the light switch on the wall by the door.

"I'm not playing with you guys, play by yourself, fools!"

Wu Wenyue said so, but the eager look in her eyes was getting hard to hide, and she turned off the living room lights...

"Clap~"

The room fell into darkness.

"Run."

Li Peifeng had already put on his blindfold, and smiled calmly at the two of them: "You have thirty seconds, hide wherever you want, after thirty seconds, here I come!"

"You're letting us hide? Aren't we supposed to run and you chase?"

"You're playing hide and seek with us blindfolded? This is a joke, we could just hide in a closet, stay put without a sound, and you'd never find us."

Now, thanks to the other houses' lights or streetlights, Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue could barely make out the room, but Li Peifeng really couldn't see a thing. Though his eyes had been enhanced, allowing him to see at night like it was day, it only improved his sight and didn't give him X-ray vision.

With his eyes blindfolded, the two girls indeed didn't quite believe Li Peifeng could find them.

Wu Wenyue thought about it, suddenly realizing: "You could cheat with your special ability!"

"I wouldn't go that far, I'd want to eavesdrop on what you two are discussing… solely relying on my ears, I swear I won't use any superpowers nor will I take off the blindfold."

"Are you sure you won't use superpowers?"
