Chapter 2786 - 2848: Sharing a Room

What good is owing a favor to someone? Before coming to this school, I didn’t even know who Zhang Bai was. Since I didn’t know, it proves he definitely isn’t a top entrepreneur in the country. If he’s not top-tier, does Li Yifei, with his current status, need to bother with such a person? Obviously not, and not only does he not need to, but Li Yifei should also squash this idea he has. Does Wu Shuwei look like someone you can touch?

So Li Yifei replied, "The villa was assigned to me, so I don’t need yours. Let’s leave it at that."

"Huh?" Zhang Bai was taken aback. Seeing Li Yifei about to leave, he tried to grab his suitcase, but a cold voice from the latter said, "Since we’re here to study, it’s best not to involve other matters. I hope you don’t end up like that fat dark-skinned guy."

"Like the dark-skinned fat guy? I’m not trying to steal your dorm; damn it, isn’t that just unreasonable? Can’t we discuss things nicely?" Zhang Bai was furious, but he couldn’t do anything about Li Yifei. In the end, he could only watch him walk away, the suitcase dragging on the ground, making a scraping sound, as if carving a trench in Zhang Bai’s heart. Zhang Bai was very angry, though how serious the consequences would be, he didn’t know. One thing’s for sure, Zhang Bai would definitely investigate Li Yifei’s identity and find out who Wu Shuwei is. Such a beauty, if she’s not married, he must give it a try.

The dark-skinned fat guy got his key but still looked unhappy. He could feel the eyes around him, especially now that he had calmed down a bit, knowing that he had acted rashly just now. But that’s his character, and there’s no way he would reconcile with Li Yifei.

Zhang Bai, with his hands in his pockets, didn’t care if anyone else heard their conversation, and he walked toward the villa, seemingly tailing behind Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei.

The beautiful receptionist looked at the backs of the few people, her sixth sense telling her this batch of students might not be too peaceful. At least for now, it didn’t seem like the harmonious and joyful scenes of previous classes.

Of course, whether they’re similar or not doesn’t concern her too much; she’s just here to help with reception. As long as they don’t cause trouble at the school, they can do as they please.

Li Yifei walked a little faster to catch up with Wu Shuwei. By now, there was no one else around them. Li Yifei’s mouth moved, wanting to say something. As words reached his lips, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. You could say the two were familiar, almost to the point of breaking the ice, with even a few physical intimacies. Yet if you say they’re familiar, Li Yifei knows some things about her—her background, family, personal info, and she knows his. But that’s not necessarily real familiarity, not the kind of knowing each other deeply over a long time and companionship.

So Li Yifei turned his head to glance at Wu Shuwei, noticing her lips were closed, covered in red lipstick that made them look very appealing. She walked at a steady pace, her long legs moving evenly, and the curves outlined by her hips were eye-catching. Li Yifei had to admit that he liked Wu Shuwei’s outfit because it was really beautiful, especially with those sunglasses adding a few layers of mystery and allure. When Li Yifei looked over, Wu Shuwei was staring straight ahead, as if she didn’t notice him.

With a slight smile, Li Yifei still said, "Long time no see, didn’t expect to meet here."

It would have been fine if he hadn’t said anything, but once he did, it made the bit of emotion Wu Shuwei had just accumulated disappear. This tone... saying such a line... made it hard for Wu Shuwei to accept. You disappeared for so long, and now upon meeting, you say something that feels so distant. How could Wu Shuwei accept that?

She gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, completely ignoring Li Yifei.

"Tsk!" The instigator hadn’t realized anything was wrong yet. Seeing Wu Shuwei speed up, he shook his head and followed along.

The campus of Huaxia Business School isn’t small, but it can’t compare with regular universities. After all, this is a school with only a hundred or two hundred students annually, at most three hundred. There’s no use in building it too big, especially in the prime real estate of Haicheng. Having such a large piece of land is already very difficult. These villas are built in fairly good locations. Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei arrived at their villa. During the few-minute walk, Wu Shuwei didn’t speak or acknowledge Li Yifei.

Tailing behind, Li Yifei appreciated the entire view of Wu Shuwei, captivated by the rhythm of her movements. He found it quite enjoyable. Of course, he claimed he was looking with an appreciative eye, without any lustful intent.

Li Yifei opened the door and gestured for Wu Shuwei to go in first. She didn’t stand on ceremony and entered directly. The room had a faint musty smell, possibly from not being aired out for a long time. The air wasn’t very good. Wu Shuwei frowned as she seemed to have a bit of a dust allergy. After walking around inside, her throat felt uncomfortable.

Li Yifei set down his luggage and hurried to open a few windows on the first floor to let in some fresh air. He noticed Wu Shuwei had already found the air conditioner remote control and started venting the room, so Li Yifei closed the windows again.

The room was simply not aired out for a long time, but it was quite clean.

It was indeed a small villa, much smaller in space compared to the villas at Li Yifei’s house, let alone compared to his own villa. But going to school and still staying in a villa was unexpected.

The first floor had a bedroom, probably just over ten square meters. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms. One was a large bedroom facing the sun, around thirty plus square meters, with an attached bathroom with a bathtub. The other bedroom was slightly smaller, around twenty square meters, with a public bathroom with only a shower next to it.

Li Yifei set down his luggage and looked at Wu Shuwei, who was already sitting on the sofa. He smiled and walked over to stand in front of Wu Shuwei, saying, "Why aren’t you talking? Thanks for earlier. If it weren’t for you, I might not have resisted teaching that guy a lesson."

Wu Shuwei’s long legs were crossed, her hands placed on her abdomen, pressing down her skirt, a posture signaling some defensiveness. She hadn’t taken off her sunglasses, so Li Yifei couldn’t see what expression she had. Seeing that Wu Shuwei wasn’t talking, Li Yifei grimaced, feeling a bit awkward. He scratched his head and said, "Is your throat uncomfortable? Then don’t speak for now. I checked; there are two bedrooms upstairs. The bigger one is yours, with a bathtub, so you can have a soak if you’re tired. I’ll stay in the room opposite!"

"Why?" Wu Shuwei spoke up, her voice sounded perfectly fine, and Li Yifei responded with a nod, "Of course, you should have the bigger bedroom, and there’s a private bathroom inside, it’s more convenient for you."

Wu Shuwei didn’t speak, and Li Yifei thought she wasn’t quite satisfied, so he continued, "It’s the best bedroom, if you don’t want me to suffer, then let’s stay together... hey hey, pretend I didn’t say that!"

He intended to make a joke, but Wu Shuwei suddenly sat up straight, making Li Yifei feel uneasy. He quickly waved his hand, jumped back two steps, creating some distance from Wu Shuwei.

"You stay downstairs, I stay upstairs, as agreed," Wu Shuwei said outright.

"I stay downstairs? Why? Go take a look downstairs, it’s a tiny bedroom, the bed is small, very uncomfortable!" Li Yifei shouted while chasing after her.

"I don’t care, you said it yourself!" Wu Shuwei said, already heading to the second floor.

"I said it? When did I say that?" Li Yifei pointed at himself, trying to recall, he didn’t seem to have said that, and then said, "That’s not right, I didn’t say it. Wu Shuwei, you can have the bigger room, I’ll take the one across, is that okay?"

Unfortunately, Wu Shuwei didn’t answer him anymore, she had already entered the room, followed by a loud door slam and the sound of a lock being turned. Li Yifei stood at the foot of the stairs on the first floor, his mouth twisting, unable to speak.

"What’s wrong with her?" Li Yifei sat back on the sofa, inevitably wondering.

Of course, he was unaware of Wu Shuwei’s thoughts; meeting her here, Li Yifei was equally happy, but since it had been a long time, Li Yifei understandably felt a bit unfamiliar.

The phone vibrated, Li Yifei took it out, seeing it was a message from Chu Xiaoyao, several in a row along with a few adorable selfies. Li Yifei couldn’t help but grin as he replied, "Dear baby, hubby is at school now, got assigned a villa, this school is amazing, right?"

"Wow, is it really a villa? I checked online, and it said Huaxia Business School has a ’Rich Kid Class,’ where you can stay in villas. Hubby, is the villa nice? Is it big inside?"

"Dummy, can it be bigger than our home? The amenities are average, but it’s enough!"

"Oh, that’s good. Did you bring enough clothes? I checked the weather forecast, and it says it will rain there in the coming days, don’t catch a cold, okay? Oh, it’s okay if you catch a cold, but you still need clothes, can’t be naked."

"What nonsense, are you in class with Ali?"

"Yes, we’re in Mao’s philosophy class, and it’s putting me to sleep!"

"Keep listening, let’s chat after your class ends, I’m going to do some organizing!"

"Okay, I’ll call you tonight, hubby is great, keep up with your studies."

Just finished chatting, Su Mengxin called. Li Yifei answered and softly called, "Honey," but his voice was a bit low. Su Mengxin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Hubby, is it inconvenient to take my call there?"

"Ah, no, I’m in the dorm, just got assigned a villa." Li Yifei replied.

"Why is your voice so quiet? I thought something was up and was about to hang up." Su Mengxin said.

"It’s fine, I’m just sitting on the sofa in the villa, tiny villa!" Li Yifei laughed, Su Mengxi responded with an "oh," finally reassured.
