My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 109 - 106: Making a Delivery

At eleven at night, Li Peifeng finished preparing the PPT for tomorrow’s lecture, stretched lazily, opened TT, planning to look at the flattery or suggestions from book fans and continue writing.

However, as soon as he opened the software, he noticed that the avatar of Yun Xin Yue Xing in the list was gray and unusually quiet, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

As long as he was online in the past, the chat box of Yun Xin Yue Xing would be flashing, either asking for photos or wanting to chat. What’s going on today...

"Could it be that she found out that I found out about her?"

Li Peifeng was puzzled, but after thinking for a moment, he still sent a photo to complete today’s share and was ready to continue writing without overthinking it.

"Click click~"

But just as he opened the writing software, ready to start typing with his keyboard in hand, he heard the bedroom door quietly being turned open, the lock clicking softly...

"Who is it?"

Li Peifeng whispered: "Whoever you are, burglary is punishable by at least three years and up to ten years in prison. I advise you to turn back!"

The warning had no effect, as the door was still quietly opened a crack.

Wu Wenyue’s head popped out in the darkness, her eyes wide awake: "Not asleep?"

"I’m already asleep, I’m sleepwalking. There’s no money in this room, you definitely won’t be able to steal it, but you can try to steal my heart. Or you could try to seduce me."

"Go to hell!"

Wu Wenyue rolled her eyes, tiptoeing into the room and carefully closing the door behind her.

Once she fully entered, Li Peifeng realized she was holding two unopened boxes of a keyboard and mouse, feeling a warm sensation flowing in his heart, but he said, "Are you trying to bribe me? Want me to do something?"

"Cut the crap."

Wu Wenyue placed the two items on his desk and pouted: "It’s a Logitech mouse and keyboard, I don’t really know, but I told the store owner that I needed something suitable for writing and office work, and he recommended these two. They should be better than what you have now."

The keyboard box said G913, and the mouse box said PRO X SUPERLIGHT.

The packaging was high-end, and when opened, it included a mouse pouch, a keyboard pouch, and a bunch of small accessories.

"How much did you spend?"

"Not expensive..."

"How much?"

"Less than three thousand in total."

Wu Wenyue was a bit embarrassed: "I wanted to get you a new computer, but you mentioned before that your computer had a pretty high configuration, and I don’t know much about it. I was afraid of spending money and getting scammed, so I didn’t buy it."

"I don’t need a computer, I don’t play games; this setup is enough for me to write for ten years. I really like the mouse and keyboard you gave me!"

Li Peifeng cheerfully and quickly swapped out the old mouse and keyboard for the new ones Wu Wenyue gave him, tested them a bit, and couldn’t help but look at her, chuckling: "They’re way better than my old ones!"

"Glad to hear that."

Wu Wenyue smiled, but her smile quickly faded as she hesitated: "...Actually, Manning said she wanted to give you a car, not as a joke, but she really meant a Mercedes Benz G. She talked to me about it before going to sleep, suggesting we could check the car out tomorrow if there’s time."

"I won’t accept it."

Li Peifeng lightly shook his head, pulling Wu Wenyue’s hand to sit by the bed: "Let’s not talk about that, just hold me a while."

"Okay."

As they hugged, they kissed, and as they kissed, they started to take off their pajamas...

"Ah~" Wu Wenyue quickly covered her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes becoming alluringly bright, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, biting her lower lip, she whispered: "Take it easy, I’m afraid she’ll wake up."

"I know." Li Peifeng understood but couldn’t resist teasing her: "If Manning wakes up, we’ll just pull her into bed and continue kissing her..."

"No!" Wu Wenyue panicked, starting to scratch Li Peifeng’s back with her nails, mildly angry: "That’s not okay, today was just to appease her, we must never have the three of us together, that’s the bottom line."

Li Peifeng guessed: "Then just let her watch?"

"No way!"

"Then how about you watch... ah, you dare to bite?!"

Wu Wenyue panicked at Li Peifeng’s actions: "Don’t, I’m sorry."

"Call me brother!"

...

At twelve thirty, the ’battle’ ended, lasting a bit too short, mainly due to Wu Wenyue!

Li Peifeng speculated: "Was it because, thinking of Manning asleep next door, you just..."

"Shut up!" Wu Wenyue’s face grew even redder: "Don’t mention her!!"

He was close to the truth.

Li Peifeng secretly chuckled, thinking that at the right moment, the two of them could together face a beating, just imagining it...

"Now that you’ve signed with Platinum, do you still want to get a Ph.D.?"

"Hmm?" Li Peifeng returned to his senses, surprised: "You don’t want to anymore either?"

Wu Wenyue looked like she already knew I didn’t want it, then she sighed lightly and said, "Ever since I finished communicating with my mentor, he’s been constantly pressuring me, the workload has increased, and I’m finding it hard to cope. I’m afraid I’ll crumble after actually starting my PhD, and you dog won’t be there for me, I definitely can’t hold on..."

"Then just don’t pursue it," Li Peifeng confidently said, "I’ll use the keyboard you gave me to write and support you!"

Wu Wenyue was noncommittal: "Lately I’ve talked a lot with Manning, and I’m kind of interested in becoming a model, doing self-media. What do you think?"

"That’s doable!" Li Peifeng nodded, "Start with self-media, once your fame grows, naturally people will come to you for commercials. You still have over a year before your master’s graduation, if there’s no progress in that time, you can find a proper job, nothing will be delayed."

"That’s what I’m thinking too." Wu Wenyue rummaged for pajamas on the bed, took out her phone, and muttered, "I have over twenty thousand followers on Douyin now, and it’s just from those fitness videos I shot with you that attracted followers, haven’t really done it seriously yet, but businesses are already contacting me for clothing ads. If I seriously focus on transformation videos later, reaching two or three hundred thousand followers should be fairly easy."

"People say if you do well, once you surpass a hundred thousand followers, earning five figures a month from Xingtu ads isn’t difficult..."

"Transformation type? That’s not your forte, is it?"

"The threshold is low for attracting followers quickly, unless you have a better trick?"

"Didn’t you always dislike that stuff?"

Li Peifeng hesitated, actually disliking Wu Wenyue flaunting her beauty in front of others.

After a few seconds of silence, Wu Wenyue sighed despairingly, "I’m short on cash, bro! I’m so broke I can’t even spend time with you guys, Manning, the rich second generation, was born with a golden key. And you? You earn quite a bit too, only I’m the most useless one. Even doing part-time jobs now, or having a formal job after graduation, I still can’t make as much as your book royalties in a year."

Li Peifeng silently hugged her.

"And do you know how stressful it is for me to go shopping with Manning?"

Wu Wenyue was a bit aggrieved, with frustration mixed in: "Damn, she’s looking at all six-figure stuff for gifts for you, watches, jewelry. I purposely annoyed her by suggesting she buy you a Mercedes G, and she actually agreed! Sometimes I wonder what use studying is, even getting a PhD, just to work for others, exhaustive until death, never earning as much as someone’s annual pocket money..."

As she spoke, Wu Wenyue suddenly lay on her side, furrowing her brows: "Massage my back, seemed like I strained it again just now."

Back injuries are common for basketball players, as making various movements and evasions in the air can easily strain muscles, lead to fatigue or spinal deformities. If untreated promptly, they can easily become chronic.

Wu Wenyue withdrew from North China Normal University’s women’s basketball team due to this injury, during a qualifying match in the CUBA national tournament, she was fouled and bumped by an opponent while attempting a layup, causing her to fall on her back and injuring the muscle junction in her lower back.

At the time, Wu Wenyue felt fine, the college basketball team didn’t have great medical facilities either, and the team doctor didn’t pay much attention, treated it briefly, and allowed her to keep playing match after match. North China Normal University’s women’s basketball team won the championship, but the back injury turned chronic for Wu Wenyue. Not severe, but enough to end her sports career...

"Lie flat."

Li Peifeng was very concerned, skillfully helping her with the massage.

"Yes, that’s the right pressure."

Wu Wenyue let out a comfortable sigh, her mouth still complaining: "Studying seems useless, sports are useless too, the suffering is unbearable, and I’ve been left with injuries, no matter the honor, there’s never a deserved reward, the world is so unfair..."

"I understand, I understand."

Li Peifeng comforted her, "But you should think this way, money doesn’t matter, Manning having more money is just her being our little plaything, just a fun thing between the two of us. Someday I’ll help hold her down, and you can humiliate her as much as you want. Or you hold her down for me, and I’ll beat her face non-stop..."

"Enough!"

Wu Wenyue laughed angrily, "Don’t mention that kind of thing!"

"You’ve entered sage mode, haven’t you? I noticed you got pretty excited when I mentioned her..."

"Shut up!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Seeing Wu Wenyue unable to hold her expression, genuinely a bit angry, Li Peifeng scratched his head, thought for a few seconds, and changed the topic: "Actually, your general strategy is right, doing self-media, but transformations aren’t the best choice, it’s highly competitive in this field..."

"You need to know your strengths, you were once part of North China Normal University’s team, a dominant presence in CUBA. Isn’t filming basketball skits good? The whole internet might not have a girl who plays basketball better or is more beautiful than you, that’s your biggest advantage. Plus, you’re still a referee for CUBA, when’s your next officiating gig? I’ll hire a couple of people to take pictures of you, then spend money on promoting you with online help, with the title of the most beautiful female basketball referee. With your looks, you may not explode, but reaching half a million followers should be quite easy."

[Emergency Mission: Savior of the Broke Woman.]

This system task occasionally popped up in Li Peifeng’s vision to remind him of its existence, and Wu Wenyue happened to be talking about planning to make money, so he went along with it...

"You’ve got lots of ideas!" Wu Wenyue was quite surprised, contemplatively said, "Sounds pretty convincing."

"Selling dreams, that’s my skill!"

Li Peifeng said with a mischievous smile, "But honestly, we’re not industry insiders, we’re like blind men feeling an elephant. I’ll give you another idea that can help you quickly understand this industry, see if you agree."

"Spill the details!"

...

Next morning, eight o’clock.

After breakfast, the two girls went to class, while Li Peifeng took another set of jewelry, hailed a car, and headed straight to the train station.

He didn’t have class this morning and had to deliver a package to his online wife ’Yun Xin Yue Xing’.

The taxi driver was a woman in her forties, maybe because this young man was very handsome, she glanced at the jewelry box and initiated conversation: "Handsome, heading to deliver a gift for your girlfriend?"

"No."

Li Peifeng fiddled with his phone, the Yun Xin Yue Xing avatar in the TT app was still gray, no message replies, and he couldn’t help but frown lightly.

"Then what are you doing?" the female driver asked curiously.

Li Peifeng casually made up, "Going for an audition."

"Ah? I guessed you were an actor!"

The driver was excited, "What’s the name of the show you’re auditioning for? If it’s convenient to share."

Li Peifeng was unsure, "Something like ’About Me and My Teacher’s Internet Romance She Doesn’t Know About’?"
