My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 57 - 55: A Man’s Bad Luck Begins with Caring for a Woman
A white Mercedes G500, sporting the license plate ’A·77777’, was cruising steadily down the road.
Inside the car, Li Peifeng felt slightly startled, realizing that this hardcore fan who loves to stoke the flames had a far better family background than he imagined.
Just this car alone cost over two million, and the license plate was even more impressive...
"Tianxuan, I haven’t asked yet, what are you doing for work now?"
Huang Tianxuan glanced at the rear-view mirror and said, "I’m doing research at East Medical University, currently working on pharmaceutical development for my family’s business."
"Oh, a medical family, impressive, impressive."
Li Peifeng nodded in approval, but thought to himself of the system reward he received, the [Secret Medicine: Nine Nine Purification Strengthening Pill], which wasn’t very useful to him. He wondered if he could find someone to research it, to see if it could be produced in the real world.
He wasn’t considering the [Perfume: Nether Sea’s Scent] because its effects were too overwhelming and had potential consequences. Plus, the ingredients were exclusive to the magic world, impossible to decipher with the technology in this dimension.
But for items like the former, he could consider trying them out, ideally turning them into some money...
"By the way, Peifeng, what are you going to Wuzhen for this time?"
"I’m attending a web literature news conference, mainly to accompany my tutor."
"Oh, I see."
Huang Tianxuan attempted to see Zhao Qingge through the rear-view mirror, but she was seated directly behind her, only her profile was visible...
Such a pity, she spent so much time choosing her outfit, carefully doing her makeup, intending to meet the author brother she had long admired, only for it to be ruined by this drama queen female tutor who likes to sexually harass male students.
Otherwise, two people alone together, in the car, at the hotel, the author brother...
Now, it was all gone! Gone!
Aaaaah!
Thinking of this, Huang Tianxuan felt annoyed, and just then, the traffic ahead became congested. A Honda suddenly braked sharply, making her jump, and she braked a bit late, nearly colliding.
When the car finally stopped, Huang Tianxuan was left with lingering fear, honked the horn, and cursed angrily, "Damn it! Do you know how to drive, you idiot!"
Well, there goes the Hangzhou dialect.
This fits the image of ’Old Huang’ in Li Peifeng’s mind, resembling the kind of girl who could have such a nickname, inevitably with some...
"Heh~"
Zhao Qingge let out a soft chuckle, Li Peifeng couldn’t hold back either, but he was professional. To avoid embarrassing Huang Tianxuan, he immediately changed the topic: "Tutor, is your foot hurting again?"
"It’s okay."
Zhao Qingge glanced at him and asked, "Where are we headed now?"
Huang Tianxuan remained silent, as if she hadn’t heard.
Li Peifeng called out, "Tianxuan?"
Only then did Huang Tianxuan respond, let out an ’Ah’, and laughed, "We’re going to grab something to eat first. I know a hotel that makes great Zhejiang cuisine, perhaps we could host the fan meeting dinner there. We can try the dishes in advance, plus I haven’t had lunch yet..."
"Not really hungry."
Zhao Qingge told Li Peifeng in a low voice, "I already had airplane food, let’s find a hotel to rest."
Li Peifeng leaned forward, patted Huang Tianxuan’s shoulder, and said apologetically, "So, Tianxuan, my tutor just sprained her ankle and is a bit tired, let’s book a hotel room first."
"Uh?"
Huang Tianxuan felt a bit down, but then smiled and nodded, "Alright."
...
In the chat group [Riding the Waves].
"@Old Huang, what’s the situation? Did you meet Yiliangfeng?"
"Yeah, didn’t she say she went to pick him up at the airport? By now she should’ve gotten him, why no news yet?"
"Did Yiliangfeng scare Old Huang away because he’s too ugly?"
"No way, his figure is like that, how ugly could his face be? If worse comes to worst, let Yiliangfeng wear a mask, it’s the same..."
"Heh heh heh, you have a point, so everyone, let’s say our slogan, Riding the Waves!"
"Riding the Waves, Waves Raging Wild, We are Yiliangfeng’s flesh fans!"
"Oh yeah!"
While chaos reigned in the chat group, with fans talking nonsense, Huang Tianxuan finally appeared and directly announced the group notice with an admin status.
"Time is tight, here’s the deal."
"First, tonight’s registration deadline is at eight PM, register quickly if you want to come; no transportation cost reimbursement for those who don’t register."
"Second, met Yiliangfeng, in reality, six feet five, tall and strapping young lad, arm muscles rock-hard, and he’s built authoritative, speaks with an incredibly pleasant voice. To describe his looks, I’ll use three words: Stunningly Handsome! Don’t ask why there’s no heart—he’s already stolen it!!!"
"Third, not really advising you guys to come, I want exclusive enjoyment, but sadly my Yiliangfeng disagrees."
"Damn, really? Is Yiliangfeng that handsome?"
"Judging by Old Huang’s tone, it sounds real..."
"No pictures though, Old Huang, send a pic, no proof without a picture!"
After the notice was sent, it stirred up a storm in the group, with all sorts of comments flying around.
Huang Tianxuan sat in the car, holding her phone, laughing while replying.
Li Peifeng was already carrying Zhao Qingge into the five-star Mingdu Grand Hotel by the roadside. The location was convenient, not far from the airport, and the accommodation price was within the reimbursement range for business trips.
"Your rooms are ready. Please take the elevator over there upstairs..."
The receptionist politely handed over the room cards, while a bellboy behind her was holding two suitcases.
Li Peifeng stuffed the cards into his pocket, reached out, and was about to carry Zhao Qingge into the elevator.
"No need, I can walk this short distance myself."
"No way!"
Li Peifeng still carried a hint of insistence as he scooped Zhao Qingge into his arms. At that moment, she instinctively wrapped her arm around his neck.
The two walked towards the elevator like this, while the bellboy carrying the luggage followed closely behind...
"This couple is quite interesting!"
After the three left, the two receptionists started gossiping.
"They’re already holding each other like that, yet they booked two rooms? Such a waste of money!"
"It’s all too common. Just one thin barrier between them, and their rooms are right next to each other. Who knows, maybe that handsome guy will knock on her door tonight!"
...
"Thank you, have a pleasant day."
After arriving at the room, Li Peifeng gave some change from his pocket to the bellboy as a tip and instructed, "No problem. Could you please get me some ice cubes, put them in a plastic bag, and bring them up here?"
"Alright!"
The bellboy turned around and left. Li Peifeng entered the room and looked at Zhao Qingge, who was sitting on the bed talking on the phone. He waited until she hung up before asking, "How’s your foot?"
Zhao Qingge frowned, "It doesn’t hurt as much now, but... could you get my computer from the big suitcase? I need to revise a draft."
"Okay!"
Li Peifeng immediately got up and opened her suitcase. Inside, he saw not only the computer bag but also the clothes around the computer. Possibly because of the conference, all the clothes in the suitcase were very formal business attire—trousers, shirts, or suits and dresses.
All in dark colors—either black or navy blue.
Li Peifeng didn’t care much and directly picked up the computer bag, but he also saw underneath it... underwear, silk stockings, and other intimate apparel.
In black or nude colors, some were new, some were old.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Qingge urged coldly, "Hurry up and bring the computer over!"
Although in the dream they were like an old couple who knew each other’s thoughts...
But that was just a dream; this is reality, and in reality, they are still teacher and student!
"Oh."
Li Peifeng suppressed his inner unease, closed the suitcase, and handed the computer over: "Here you go."
Zhao Qingge took the computer and placed it on the table, pretending to work, as if she had completely forgotten about her student.
"Well, since you’re busy, I’ll leave first."
Li Peifeng explained, "Huang Tianxuan is still downstairs waiting for me, she came all the way here to pick me up and hasn’t even had lunch. I should treat her to a meal, otherwise, it would be impolite."
"..."
Seeing her remain silent, Li Peifeng added, "I’ll come back after I eat." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Knock knock~"
The sound of someone knocking on the door.
"I’m coming."
Li Peifeng had no choice but to go open the door. It was the bellboy from before, holding a bag of ice: "Sir, here are the ice cubes you requested."
"Hmm, thank you."
Li Peifeng took it and returned, placing the ice bag on the table: "Please apply this yourself later, I’m going now."
There was still no response, only the clattering sounds of the keyboard and mouse.
Li Peifeng assumed Zhao Qingge was deeply absorbed in work, engrossed in editing, and so he simply turned and left.
"Hiss~ Ah!"
As soon as the door opened, the clattering stopped, replaced by a low moan that seemed to be from someone in pain.
Li Peifeng instinctively turned back, seeing Zhao Qingge curled up on the chair, holding her knees with both hands, pressing the ice bag against her ankle, eyes shut tight, brows knitted, lips trembling.
"Thud."
Maybe due to the intense pain, Zhao Qingge didn’t hold the ice bag well, and it fell to the ground. As she bent to pick it up, she accidentally noticed Li Peifeng standing at the door.
"Why haven’t you left yet?"
Zhao Qingge glanced at him: "Go have your meal!"
Li Peifeng said nothing, just sighed softly, then closed the door...
A man’s trouble starts when he begins to care for a woman!
