Li Yi went offline to have his meal. All of the players who were watching around them gradually went off on their own ways. What use would it be to stand around the area when the bodies on the ground were not even there anymore?
“Don’t leave, everyone, don’t leave…”
Sister Windcloud Nine became agitated and tried to persuade the people to stay while hugging her staff. Initially, some players did stay around, but soon they all left after that.
In a blink of an eye, ten hours have passed. Only Sister Windcloud Nine remained there in the plains.However, Li Yi was still offline…
At that moment, Sister Windcloud Nine was very conflicted. She wanted to leave and stay at the same time, and she struggled with her choice for a long time. She was also terrified that Li Yi would suddenly come online, but at the same time, she was also worried that he might not come online. Ah, such contradictions.
“I’ll… I’ll wait for him for another hour, and I’ll let him off the hook if he stays offline!”
Another hour has passed, and Sister Windcloud Nine made another declaration while she shivered.
“I’ll wait for another half an hour, and I’ll… I’ll go offline if he doesn’t come online…”
After half an hour, Sister Windcloud Nine leaned on her staff and dozed off while standing.
“I’ll wait for another hour… I must…”///
Li Yi did not go online for an entire day. Instead, he stayed in bed, drifting in and out of sleep. When he could no longer sleep, he just laid there and stared at the ceiling.
The reason behind his distracted self was a phone call from Lin Qian.
She was back in the country…
In the call, Lin Qian was talking about the rent with him. She negotiated for a rental rate so low that it was entirely unacceptable to any landlord, but Li Yi still agreed to it without any hesitation.
“You wouldn’t need to pay for the utility fees for both water and electricity. On top of that, you can also use the computer, sofa, bed, and fridge for free.”
“The rent I told you is RMB200 per month, not RMB2000!”
“Yes, RMB200 exactly, that’s not a problem. Also, if you’re in a hurry, you could move in today. Just take the key from the security, I’ll give them a call.”
“You… Are you sure?” Lin Qian became very confused when she realized how Li Yi readily accepted all of her requests.
“Of course I’m sure.”
“Thank you!”
After the call, Li Yi could no longer hold himself back. He quickly packed up and wanted to rush to her immediately, but just when he stepped out of the door, another call from Lin Qian left him utterly dejected.
“I’m sorry but I’ve found another house. I won’t be renting your place for now, thank you!”
Li Yi was stunned. It was true, a hasty man will never be able to enjoy Big Boobs Qian. 1 Not bargaining with her had instead made her suspicious, and she was probably thinking that this was all a plan from her family.
Lin Qian has returned from her studies abroad, and her family has forcefully planned an arranged marriage for her. However, she did not agree to it, and this has thus led her to run away from home. She did not manage to take anything with her, and she could not seek help from her friends either. Now, her situation was quite difficult.
If he knew that she would misunderstand him, he would have been better off bargaining with her…
Li Yi was so frustrated that he did not even have the mood to play his game after he had returned to his house. He proceeded to daydream for an entire day.
“Perverted Yi, it’s time to eat!”
Jiaojiao has finished cooking after she has returned from work.
“I’m not eating today. You can go ahead.”
“What’s up?”
“I’m not hungry!”
Soon after that, Jiaojiao held a tray of food and approached him. She was taken aback when she saw Li Yi’s situation.
“Were you kicked by a donkey?”
“Go away!”
“That must be it, that must be correct. Look at that look in your eyes, that wistful face of yours. Tsk tsk…”
Jiaojiao placed the food on the bedside table before she turned and left the room.
After a while, Jiaojiao finished her meal and came in to check on Li Yi. He has already finished eating the food on the bedside table.
“Hm, that’s alright, it wasn’t that hard of a kick.”
Jiaojiao made a satisfied ‘hmph’. She briefly tidied up the place before taking the tray away.
When Jiaojiao went online, Li Yi finally clambered out of his bed. He was merely slightly dejected while he was thinking of other ways to get into contact with Lin Qian which has given him a headache. He was definitely not depressed for love.
“Say, Xie Jiaojiao, what do you think a man should do if he fell in love with two women at once?”
Jiaojiao took off the headset controller and rolled her eyes. “A threesome.”
“Uh…”
“What, am I wrong?”
Li Yi did not answer that. He just realized that Jiaojiao was behaving quite abnormally today.
Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and studied him like a cat. “Say, if I were to fall in love in two men at once, what should I do?”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Blegh! Why would it be okay for you men and when we woman do it, we’re frowned at? You want a harem, I want to be Empress Wu Zetian too!”
“Wu my ass!”
“Do you still want to be Wu Zetian?”
“If you dare to be Li Longji, I’ll definitely dare to become Wu Zetian!” 2
“F*ck, you still had the b*lls to take advantage of me!”
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
“Ah, son of a b*tch, I can’t believe you’d actually hit me, ah… Brother Dark Wing, I’m scared now, don’t hit me anymore. I’m scared, I’m scared now…” Jiaojiao exclaimed in pain.
“You dared to call me Brother Dark Wing. You’re still toying with me!”
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Li Yi managed a few more hits before Jiaojiao snapped. She started to retaliate fiercely, and even if she was the petite type, the strength within her was explosive. When she struggled, even Li Yi could not really hold her down.
Of course, both of them were just messing around and thus did not really use their true strength. Otherwise, Miss Jiao’s self-defense skill was not something to joke about. If she were to really attack someone, that person will definitely be ruined. The reason why she would let Li Yi take advantage of her all this while was that her self-defense moves were too severe that if she were to use it once, Li Yi might need to go into the palace to serve the Queen Dowager. 3
After they played around for a while, they exchanged a look with each other before bursting into laughter.
“I’m not you, I’ve never thought of becoming someone like Wu Zetian. I don’t have any high expectations either. As long as you treat me well and don’t let me down, I’ll be okay with it. If you were to leave me like how my dad left my mother, I, Jiaojiao, swear that I will make you into a true Lil Yi’zi!” 4
“What should I do to not let you down? Do you mean this?”
“The phone is ringing, go and get it!”
Jiaojiao poked at him.
“Who would make a call so late in the night? What bad civic manners! I’m not picking that up!”
“Go get it, it might be a call from that threesome partner of yours, right?
“Threesome?”
Li Yi froze and leapt off the bed without even putting on clothes. He found his phone and answered.
“Um, have you rented out your room?” Lin Qian’s voice came from the other side of the line.
“Not yet. Do you want to rent it?” Li Yi was both surprised and delighted.
“Yeah, I want to rent it. RMB200 a month, right?”
“It has gone up to RMB300 a month now.”
“What?” Lin Qian was momentarily shocked.
At this moment, Jiaojiao came over with a blanket draped over her. Curious, she stuck her ears closer to the phone and said with the most terrible timing, “Is this the mistress?”
“Shoo shoo shoo…”
LI Yi shot her multiple looks that further aggravated Miss Jiao. She wrapped herself around Li Yi’s back like an octopus and listened attentively to the call.
“In the afternoon, you’ve told me that the rate was RMB200. Why is it different now?” Lin Qian sounded helpless.
“Since you told me that you’re not renting it anymore this afternoon, someone else has called me and raised the rent to RMB250 a month.”
“If that’s the case…”
Li Yi became anxious. Now, he was worried that Lin Qian would refuse to rent the house now, but he could not be truthful about the matter either. His feelings were extremely complicated.
“Mister, are you still there? Is this a bad time for you?” Lin Qian was confused when she did not hear Li Yi for a long while.
“No, it’s a good time, a great time actually!”
“I’ll take the RMB300 rent, but I’ll need to move in tonight.”
“No problem, I’ll call security now and get them to fetch the key for you. My house has a double-layered lock on the door, and you could always add another lock if you still feel insecure.”
“That’s great, thank you!”
Once the call has ended, Jiaojiao ran away immediately. Li Yi glared at her as he called security to get the keys for Lin Qian.
“I’ll have your surname if I don’t do you today!”
Li Yi said through gritted teeth and walked towards Jiaojiao.
“No, don’t do that. Help, someone is trying to rape me…” Jiaojiao clutched the blanket tightly in her hands and yelled helplessly.
“Keep quiet, you… Be quiet!”
Li Yi was so shocked that he pounced on her to clamp down on her mouth.
“Mmph mmph mmph…” Jiaojiao shook her head with all her might, as her muffled voice leaked uncontrollably from her mouth.
“Please, stop this. Your acting was so good that you made me feel like a criminal.”
Li Yi released his grip and Jiaojiao smirked with glee.
“Let’s stop messing around and sleep. Let’s sleep.”
Li Yi pulled Jiaojiao to him and lay on the bed.
The light was off, and the bedroom was in total darkness.
“Perverted Yi, do you have some mental health problems?” Jiaojiao huffed, her lips mere centimeters away from Li Yi’s ears.
“What do you mean?”
“If you don’t have a problem, why would you fail every time right at the most critical time?”
“Who were you referring to with this failure?”
Li Yi became furious.
“I’m joking…”
“It’s too late!”
Li Yi’s ego as a man was insulted. This time, he did not hold back. He gathered the blankets around him and stomped out of the bedroom.
