Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 247: The New “Cohabitation” Era
"Yeah, why, don't you know Sister Xue?" Xiaoyue looked surprised, "I heard that Sister Xue and Brother Feng knew each other before. You and Brother Feng have been 'living together' for so long, don't you have ever met Sister Xue, or don't you know Sister Xue's true identity yet?"
Afeng's ex-girlfriend and Xue Wuxia are indeed the same person, which confirms my guess. Many questions are solved. This is good. At least there is no need to worry that Afeng will play with other people's feelings. It seems that Xiaoyue only knows a little bit about it and does not know the specific inside story. No wonder, there are too many stories between Afeng and Xue Wuxia, and it involves the playboy who steals the love in the middle. Judging from Afeng's decadence with guilt and even regret, and then after guessing or knowing Xue Wuxia's identity, he tried his best to take the initiative to repair the old relationship, it is definitely not as simple as a third party intervening and causing a transfer of affection, and reunion after being abandoned. It is estimated that there must be another hidden story. Unfortunately, Afeng has always been very secretive and refused to reveal the sad things of the past. Even I, who is closest to him, only know a little bit of the surface and don't know the details. As the other party involved, Xue Wuxia would probably not publicize these things casually. Yun Wuying, who has known her for a long time in real life, might know more about it like me. Xiaoyue, who I just met in "Tianxia", may not be aware of that story of breakups and reunions.
"That brat Afeng pulled me over in a hurry, but he just said he had an appointment with a friend, and he didn't say who he was going to meet. Moreover, he was too tight-lipped and never told me Sister Xue's true identity. I was just guessing and couldn't confirm it 100%. Oh. By the way, how did you come to Shenzhen with Sister Xue?" I don't know what Xiaoyue knows specifically, and it involves other people's privacy, so I can't say much. I quickly changed the subject and didn't want to dwell on it, so as not to make mistakes. No wonder Afeng had to drag me to be a light bulb when he was dating Xue Wuxia, and asked me to dress so formally, it turned out that he wanted me to accompany Xiaoyue. However, Xue Wuxia came to Shenzhen to end the days of separation and start a new era of cohabitation - the new house has been decorated in time and can be moved in immediately. I don't know why Xiaoyue was dragged along. Although Xiaoyue and I have a pretty good relationship, we are still just friends and have not developed into a boyfriend and girlfriend. However, I have a very clear understanding of reality and am not arrogant enough to think that Xiaoyue is deeply in love with me, or even to the point of being unable to extricate herself, and that she is coming to me on her own initiative and preparing to live with me.
Xiaoyue blinked and showed a very ambiguous smile, "I heard that you bought a new house, which has been renovated and can be moved in at any time. I just want to change my living environment and plan to move in. Are you willing?"
I was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and shook my head, "Xiaoyue, don't tease me. If your 'flower protectors ' knew about this, I would become a street rat and be annoyed to death by them in Tianxia." It seemed like a blessing from heaven, but it was definitely not easy to bear. If Xiaoyue had not strongly opposed it, she could have formed a team of 100 people in Tianxia, including the "flower protectors" and their "personal bodyguards" in the mainland. This was also one of the main reasons why she gave up Longteng and decided to join our Tongxin League. There were too many competitors, and there was no sign that I had the qualifications to "enter the hall" and get the opportunity to get close to Xiaoyue day and night. It would definitely be difficult to calm the public anger. Once the news spread, the spearhead would be pointed at me, and the chaos would be huge. Besides, I don't believe that Xiaoyue, who is knowledgeable, cultured, gentle, lovely, self-reliant and independent, would be such a casual person, and easily want to live with me, who is just a relatively close friend.
"Look how scared you are. I didn't tell anyone about my trip to Shenzhen. As long as I don't say it, you don't say it, and Brother Feng and Sister Xue don't spread it, who would know? How come a beautiful woman came to your door on her own initiative, but you are not happy? Are you afraid that I will molest you? Or are you not interested in women and only like men, and have a hobby that is different from normal people?" Xiaoyue said as she glanced at Afeng in the distance. The meaning was self-evident.
I was sweating coldly after hearing these words. Is this still the gentle and lovely Xiaoyue I know? How did she become so powerful? She seems to be like her gentle cousin. Is it just a disguise in Tianxia? This is her real personality? There are many players with dual personalities in virtual and real life. Even I have this tendency. In real life, I am an honest person who never dares to cause trouble. In Tianxia, I am a super strong man who is rampant and kills people like crazy. I am called "Devil King Dai, Massacre of Ten Thousand People". It can be said that they are two completely different people. It is hard to say that Xiaoyue is not like this. I didn't know how to respond for a while. I certainly couldn't say no. Should I express my attitude to welcome her to live in? But it was hard to believe that she would be willing to live with me. Maybe it was just a joke. What if I took it seriously and expressed my feelings in the wrong way, it would be embarrassing.
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. You are just as honest as in Tianxia, not the kind of player with a virtual personality that is different from the real one. I knew Sister Xue was going to Shenzhen to meet Brother Feng, so I came here to relax. In Haicheng, there are always people trying their best to pester me, which is almost annoying me. I don't have any personal space, and I can't get rid of them. They will only come up with new tricks. I might as well take this opportunity to disappear for a while, come here so that they can't find me, and I can have some peace and quiet. Don't worry, I'm not here to see you, so I won't cause you any trouble."
The first few words sounded okay, and I put my mind at ease, not to cause too much trouble - it's fine that the beauty has the intention, and it's worth it for love, but we haven't reached that level of intimacy yet, and it's not worth it to become the target of public criticism too early. The last sentence seemed to be dissatisfied with me, so I dared not remain silent, and I couldn't help but quickly explain, "I'm not afraid of trouble. I'd love for you to move into my new home. I'm just worried that if the news gets out, it will damage your reputation and easily cause misunderstandings."
Xiaoyue smiled slightly, stopped nagging about this issue, and turned to other topics. I gradually treated her as Yue Linglong in "The World" instead of Yue Qingrou in reality, and gradually adjusted my mentality and behaved more and more naturally. Regarding emotional issues, I have always believed that a forced melon is not sweet, and things will come naturally. I am always unwilling to be too deliberate or actively strive for it. Although Afeng has repeatedly educated me, it is difficult to change one's nature, and there has been little progress. There has been no fundamental change. It is still more acceptable for me to position Xiaoyue as a close friend. I don't feel awkward and don't know what to say. I have restored the confidence brought to me by the success in "The World".
"You two are really getting along well. What's going on? Aren't you hungry yet? Let's find a place to eat first. We're welcoming these two beauties who have come from afar. Now that we've officially met, there's plenty of time in the future so you can chat slowly." I don't know when, Afeng and Xue Wuxia ended their lovey-dovey behavior and walked up to us.
"Brother Feng. Hello, I'm Yue Qingrou. Nice to meet you. You are indeed as Sister Xue described, a handsome and elegant man."
"Xiaoyue looks even prettier and cuter. If I hadn't already been in love with someone, I would have been eager to join the ranks of your 'flower protectors'."
On the other side, Xue Wuxia also extended her hand to me, "Hello, Ah Dai. I'm Liu Fei, you should just call me Sister Xue."
I quickly extended my hand and shook it, "Hello, Sister Xue, I'm glad to finally meet you." In view of that unpleasant past, although I was very happy to see that she and Afeng were able to reconcile and that Afeng was happy again, I didn't say much, so as not to inadvertently touch on certain taboos and ruin the good atmosphere.
Because they were all old acquaintances in "Tianxia" and there were direct or indirect connections between them in reality, there was no need for formal introductions. After greeting each other for a while, they set off for the hotel to welcome Xue Wuxia and Xiaoyue. During the meal, they talked and laughed happily. Perhaps they were not familiar with each other or had some reservations. They did not talk much about things in real life. Most of what they talked about were things that happened in "Tianxia". They were all acquaintances in the same mercenary group, and they showed their true nature. There was no need to get to know or adapt to each other again. It was easy to eliminate the sense of alienation between strangers and further enhance the distance and understanding between each other. It turned out that although Xue Wuxia decided to come to Shenzhen, she refused to let Afeng pick her up at the airport and did not tell him the specific arrival time. In fact, she and Xiaoyue arrived yesterday. I stayed in the hotel for a day and just called Afeng to meet. It was not that Afeng intended to keep it secret from me. Of course, Xiaoyue was going to come with Xue Wuxia, and he knew in advance, so he asked me to go with him and asked me to dress more energetically, mainly to leave a good impression on Xiaoyue.
After a good meal, it was time to leave. A Feng smiled at me secretly and meaningfully, then looked at Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, your sister Xue is moving to my new home, what are your plans for the rest of you?"
"You and Sister Xue can enjoy your own world of two. Don't worry about me. I'll just continue to stay in the hotel. It's not my first time traveling away from home. It's nothing. I can just live a free and quiet life." It seems that Xiaoyue really has no intention of living with me. While I don't have to worry about getting into trouble, I also feel a little disappointed. After all, if there really is a beautiful woman willing to stay at my house, it also shows that I am attractive. Deep down, I still unconsciously look forward to having such a romantic encounter.
"The reason why you came to Shenzhen with me was to avoid those annoying entanglements and live a quiet life, so that you could leave quietly. But your 'flower protectors' will definitely not let you go easily. They might call hotels in major cities to inquire about your whereabouts. It should not be difficult to find an outstanding single beauty like you. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve your purpose of hiding." Xue Wuxia seemed to be cooperating with Afeng.
"Then I can rent a house. They won't be able to find out about it, right?"
"How can anyone feel at ease renting a house outside alone when you are such a beautiful woman? You came here with me, I can't leave you alone."
Xiaoyue seemed to have sensed the hidden meaning in Xue Wuxia's words, and her face turned slightly red, and she hesitated a little, "So what do you mean, Sister Xue?"
"You know that Feng and Dai have just bought a new house. Everything is ready and they can move in right away. It's next to each other. Why don't you move in with them? It's spacious enough and it's definitely more convenient than a hotel or a rented house. Everyone can take care of each other and it will be more lively. You won't feel lonely if you're alone outside."
"Isn't this a bit bad?" Xiaoyue looked embarrassed, as if she had never thought about living with me.
"Why? Are you afraid that Ah Dai will bully you if we live in the same room? You can rest assured about this. Ah Dai is an honest man. Even if he has that kind of lustful thoughts out of male instinct, he doesn't dare to have that kind of lustful courage. He can be said to be a rare pure and good man in the world." Ah Feng half-jokingly joined the persuasion team, and kept winking at me, asking me to come forward and express my attitude. However, as the person involved, although I secretly have expectations in my heart and hope that good things can be accomplished, I don't know what to say for a while. It's really too difficult for me to persuade a beautiful woman who I met for the first time in real life to "live together" with me. I feel like I can't open my mouth.
After hearing what Afeng said so bluntly, Xiaoyue's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and refused to speak. It seemed that she still didn't want to agree. "Don't listen to Afeng's nonsense. Don't he and A'dai have two adjacent houses? Xiaoyue, you and I can live in one, and the two of them can live in another. Do you think this will work?" Xue Wuxia stepped forward to help out and proposed a compromise plan to help Xiaoyue get out of the embarrassing situation.
Xiaoyue raised her head, "But if this happens, you and Brother Feng..."
Xiaoyue was not sure what to say. Xue Wumin smiled calmly, "Who said I have to live with him when I arrive in Shenzhen? We have been apart for so long, there must be an adjustment period when we meet again. Afeng, Xiaoyue and I can live in your house, you won't have any objections, right?"
Ah Feng immediately put on a smile and said, "It is my honor that you two beauties are willing to stay at my humble home. You are most welcome. You can stay as long as you want. I have absolutely no objection."
Seeing Xue Wuxia's eyes turned to me again, I immediately made my attitude clear without waiting for her to ask, "Afeng and I have lived together for so many years, and our relationship is like that of brothers. My home is his home, there is no problem."
Xue Wuxia was very determined, and with Afeng's persuasion, Xiaoyue finally agreed to leave the hotel and move into the new house together. She and Xue Wuxia lived in Afeng's house, and I continued to share a room with Afeng. Then I helped them move their luggage from the hotel to the new house. It seemed that Afeng had already prepared. No wonder he dragged me so anxiously to decorate the room and put all kinds of furniture and supplies in place. There was no need to prepare too much, just some necessary daily necessities. Afeng and I also ended our rental life, packed up our things, took away only a small part, and threw away most of them. We officially moved into our own house and started a new cohabitation life.
We had another big meal in the evening. After a busy day, Xue Wuxia and Xiaoyue were very tired. They chatted for a while and went back to their rooms to rest. Afeng asked me to drink beer with him to celebrate this beautiful day. I finally found a chance to express my apology, "I'm sorry, because of me, you were kicked out by Sister Xue and you can't live a reunion life."
A Feng tilted his head back, drank a can of beer, and shook his head. "Don't think too much. It has nothing to do with you or Xiao Yue. It's hard to untie the knot in your heart. Just like Fei Fei said, so many things happened between us, and we've been apart for so long. She really needs a buffer period before she can completely accept me again."
I couldn't help but be stunned, "Could it be that between you and Sister Xue..." I originally thought that there would be no more problems, but now it seems that there are still some barriers that have not been completely eliminated, and it is not as smooth as I imagined.
"Xiaoyue was indeed brought here by Feifei on purpose. Of course, there was a factor of matchmaking for you, but also to serve as a buffer between her and me - she is not ready to truly accept me. What happened between us hurt her a lot, and you should know a little bit about it, but you definitely don't understand the real situation. Things are not that simple, and involve too many aspects. The reason why it developed like that is actually due to my unshirkable responsibility. I am sorry for her. I hope you don't have any prejudice against Feifei because of some rumors you heard. Now that she has decided to give me another chance and start over with me, I am already very happy. I will use my sincerity and honesty to impress her and give her a happy life. I decided to buy a new house just to let her come and live with me, move into the new house hand in hand, and start a new life. But she has always refused to agree, so you have been unable to move into the new house. Later, she couldn't resist my frequent persuasion and her tone was somewhat softened. I quickly renovated the house and made preparations for moving in. However, she still hasn't made up her mind and hasn't decided when she is willing to move in. Just when I heard Xiaoyue say that she wanted to go out of town to relax and avoid those annoying entanglements, I asked her to come over to keep me company. This not only shortened the distance between you and her, giving you more opportunities to get to know each other, but also solved our housing problems. We can further understand and adapt to each other, and continue to work hard for the two of us to start a new life together. "
