My System Forces Me to Live off Women

No matter whether Zhao Qingge welcomes them or not, those who are coming will still come.

At nine in the evening, Huang, Wu, and Xu, three girls, arrived at the villa punctually with loads of luggage.

The three girls were very punctual, but the previous plan to grab the master bedroom couldn’t be carried out because of Zhao Qingge and Li Peifeng’s move-in, so the three discussed amiably and picked two secondary bedrooms.

The rooms weren’t small either, each around seventy to eighty square meters, located on the second and third floors, like small apartments. Compared to their previous living conditions, it was an upgrade, and they were quite satisfied. They started unpacking as soon as they reached their rooms.

"Ugh, I didn’t bring my face masks."

"Just get them tomorrow then."

"Did you bring shampoo? I want to take a shower."

"In that red bag, check it."

Halfway through organizing, Wu Wenyue shouted, "Xiaofeng, I brought your computer and some clothes for you."

"Alright, thank you."

The big villa got livelier with three new tenants. After Zhao Qingge came out of the library and looked at the two side bedrooms, she instructed with the air of a hostess, "Make sure to clean your own rooms daily, don’t make it too messy."

Xu Manning laughed, "Is this your house or something, managing it so strictly?"

Zhao Qingge raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Do you need me to show you the property deed?"

"No need, I already know it has both your names, meaning you each own half. We’re not staying in your half anyway, got it?"

Xu Manning’s sophistry made Wu Wenyue laugh, and Zhao Qingge sighed, "You have a point, Peifeng."

"Hmm?"

Li Peifeng wisely stayed quiet the whole time until he was suddenly called out, which surprised him.

"Let’s settle the house ownership. I don’t want anything else, just let all the bathrooms in the villa be mine, okay?"

"Uh..."

"That’s settled then."

Zhao Qingge glanced at Xu Manning, "From now on, you can’t use my bathroom. To avoid polluting the yard environment, I suggest you prepare a... bucket in your room."

"Hehehehe~"

Huang Tianxuan didn’t expect Zhao Qingge to suddenly be so sharp-tongued, and was amused to the point of giggling, her laughter clucking like a hen laying eggs.

Miss Xu was immediately furious, "Why? I’ll use it, can you lock it?"

"If you have the cheek, you certainly can."

Zhao Qingge tossed out that sentence lightly and then started discussing utilities with the three girls. She suggested splitting the cost evenly, but Wu Wenyue immediately resolved it by volunteering to cover it all.

Zhao Qingge then brought up the issue of the maid. For such a big villa, when it was just the two of them, they certainly needed two maids to maintain their living standards. But now that they had moved in, if they hired more maids, the scene of four women and one man living together would certainly shock them. If news got out, it wouldn’t end well for anyone.

However, Huang Tianxuan said she was overthinking. As long as they increased the salary and signed an extra confidentiality agreement ensuring the maid wouldn’t leak any employer information, it would be fine.

Li Peifeng suggested having the maid come to clean and do laundry every few days instead of staying full-time. This way, even if the resident structure seemed odd, they wouldn’t think too much, thereby minimizing the risk of leakage.

In short, they had a discussion about various issues they faced upon moving in. After more than half an hour, as the discussion neared its end, the most important question hadn’t been raised yet. Huang Tianxuan thought for a moment and directly asked Li Peifeng.

"Which room are you staying in?"

Li Peifeng chuckled inwardly; can’t I stay in whichever room I want?

But to avoid scaring them, he chose to play humble, "You’ve picked all the good rooms, so I can only choose the maid’s room on the first floor. It’s okay, smaller rooms feel safer."

Xu Manning rolled her eyes, "I reckon we don’t even need to hire a maid, just let you do it. You’re energetic anyway; you can do the housework when you’re not writing."

"Househusband? Works for me."

At nine-thirty in the evening, after everyone finished unpacking, some went back to their rooms to rest, while others wandered around the villa to get familiar with the environment.

Li Peifeng belonged to the group going back to the room, but only temporarily. After uploading the day’s update of "Sword and Magic" on his computer, he came out and joined Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning in wandering around.

"There’s even an AV room... looks like a space capsule."

"Wanna watch a movie and try it out?"

"Forget it, it’s too late, work tomorrow."

"The library is really big, but it’s not fully stocked... Xiaofeng, if you’re free tomorrow, help me move the books over."

"Sure."

Strolling and stopping, the three reached the rooftop observatory. Zhao Qingge was also there, draped in a coat, fiddling with a sophisticated astronomical telescope.

"Can you see the stars?"

"Don’t know how to adjust the settings? Let me."

The two girls curiously leaned forward, while Li Peifeng approached the telescope, skillfully adjusting the settings, "It’s a Celestron, this model should have an automatic star-tracking function... Which star do you want to see?"

"The moon."

"Hmm... alright, this knob adjusts the focal length, and these buttons adjust the direction."

Tonight, with a cloudless sky and a bright moon amid the few scattered stars, it was perfect for stargazing. Through the astronomical telescope, the details of the lunar surface unfolded clearly before their eyes, with numerous diverse craters vividly displayed. The first to look was Zhao Qingge, who was so captivated by the magnificent view 380,000 kilometers away that she was reluctant to give up her spot.

"What are you doing? Spotting Chang’e? Let me take a look."
