My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 459 - 318: I Am the Nightmare (3)

...

At ten o’clock at night, this multi-party talk ended inconclusively, the conversation didn’t open up, and the matter wasn’t discussed thoroughly.

Wu Wenyue was urged by a phone call to go home, and before leaving she said she would come back at noon tomorrow to take Li Peifeng to her house, and reminded Xu Manning to keep an eye on Mr. Li;

"He definitely won’t behave at midnight, might even sneak into Zhao Qingge or Huang Tianxuan’s room, so keep an eye on him!"

Wu Wenyue had a thorough understanding of Li Peifeng’s little tricks, and Xu Manning could also foresee it to some extent, but the problem was...

"How am I supposed to keep an eye on him?"

Xu Manning said troubledly: "If he comes out at one or two in the morning, I’ll definitely be asleep by then, how could I notice? Do you want me to stay up all night just to watch him?"

"You’re so useless!" Wu Wenyue said angrily: "Can’t handle such a small thing? Can’t even keep an eye on your own man without me?"

"And you have the nerve to say that?!"

Xu Manning complained: "Could you keep an eye on him? It’s tough even when the two of us are together... How about Yueyue, you stay with me too, don’t go home."

"If I don’t go home tonight, my parents will definitely think I’m not behaving and will make things difficult for him tomorrow, didn’t you see they just called me..." Wu Wenyue frowned and pondered for a moment, then had a brainwave: "How about you share a room with Zhao Qingge?"

"What about Huang Tianxuan?"

"You let Sister Xuan stay in your bedroom." Wu Wenyue glanced at the room layout, eyes lighting up: "If Li Peifeng tries to sneak into her room, he’ll definitely pass by Zhao Qingge’s room, by then you can open the door, you’ll surely catch him passing by... Besides, you could also take the initiative! Step up and give Li Peifeng a piece of your mind, then you can stay in the attic, couldn’t you?"

Xu Manning sighed, "Don’t you know him? I’m the only one who’d end up being given a piece of someone’s mind, and then I’d be so exhausted, sleeping like the dead, he could do anything without me noticing! Forget it, I’ll stay in a room with Zhao Qingge."

"Then it’s settled, I’m heading out."

After they finished discussing, Wu Wenyue gave Li Peifeng a warning, saying things like he’s not allowed to be naughty, and if he dares, he’ll lose his head, and then hurried downstairs and went home.

"Sister Xuan, you can stay in this room..."

"What about you?"

"I’ll be rooming with her."

Subsequently, Xu Manning discussed with Huang Tianxuan, the latter was slightly surprised to hear that Miss Xu wanted to stay with Zhao Qingge, but after thinking it through, she understood Xu Manning’s intentions.

Mutual supervision, keeping each other clean?!

"Alright then."

Huang Tianxuan nodded with a smile, "Xiaofeng is tidying up the study for me, there’s a bed there as well, so that saves a bit of trouble... sure."

Then, Xu Manning knocked on Zhao Qingge’s room door,

"Knock knock~"

"Who is it?"

"It’s me."

Seeing Xu Manning enter the room, Zhao Qingge frowned: "What’s up?"

"Here’s the thing, I’m giving my room to Huang Tianxuan, so..."

After Xu Manning explained her thoughts, Zhao Qingge remained expressionless, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, just when she needed sleep, someone brought her a pillow!

The reason being, Xu Manning’s willingness to room together was also what Zhao Qingge wanted, as she feared Xu Manning might sneak off to Li Peifeng’s room at night, those two getting cozy on the loft; it was a very real possibility.

Now that Xu Manning took the initiative, Zhao Qingge naturally had no reason to refuse, and she also understood Xu Manning’s intent; Miss Xu might also be afraid of Li Peifeng coming to find her in the middle of the night.

Everyone was wary of each other and supervised one another!

Great, really great!

"Get a pillow and you can stay here with me."

Zhao Qingge nodded slightly in agreement.

"I’ll go freshen up first."

At half-past ten, everyone had finished freshening up and returned to their rooms.

"Is the door open?"

When Huang Tianxuan returned to her room, she passed by another side room and saw Xu Manning and Zhao Qingge getting ready for bed inside, she asked instinctively: "Ready for sleep?"

"Yeah."

"Should I close the door for you?"

Xu Manning quickly waved her hands: "No need, no need, leave a small gap for some air!"

Huang Tianxuan was a bit puzzled, glanced at the stairs leading to the attic, and seemed to understand something, chuckled softly; "Alright then." Then turned around and went back to her room...

"They’re really treating me like a thief."

Li Peifeng took advantage of a trip to the bathroom to glance downstairs, simulated multiple scenarios in his mind, and finally concluded that if he were to go downstairs, regardless of which room he entered, it would lead to chaos. So, he dismissed the idea of sneaking around at night, but the pent-up frustration in his heart, Li Peifeng was definitely going to release, thus, returning to the attic he immediately took out the Breath of the Nether Sea.

"In reality, I’m cautious and hesitant, but in the Shared Dream, I strike with full force, all of you can wait for me!"

Li Peifeng quickly took the perfume, fell asleep, the last murmured words before falling asleep sounded quite intimidating: "Gaze upon me, and embrace desire!"

...

"Not coming?"

Downstairs, Xu Manning tossed and turned in bed, keeping a sharp eye on the door, her ears perked up to listen for any movement outside, never letting her guard down.

On one hand, she worried about Li Peifeng sneaking into Huang Tianxuan’s room in the middle of the night, on the other hand, she was conflicted that she couldn’t have a romantic encounter with Li Peifeng.

Why does her husband seem exceptionally tempting today? Really want to...

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Qingge sensed the person beside her getting out of bed, and immediately asked.

"I, I’m going to the bathroom."

"You went two minutes ago."

So annoying!

Xu Manning angrily lay back on the bed, deliberately tossing and turning to express her displeasure.

"What’s with the fuss? Can you sleep properly?"

"I can do what I want!"

"If you’re itchy, scratch yourself, stop fidgeting in bed."

"Zhao Qingge are you acting all pure or something? Haven’t we both ridden Peifeng before when you..."

"Shut up!"

"Want to hit me?"

Xu Manning rolled up in the blanket, kicking around, Zhao Qingge retaliated in kind, the two of them making quite a ruckus in bed.

"Duang~duang~"

Next door, Huang Tianxuan was helpless, she sat up leaning against the headboard, right hand clenched into a fist and knocked on the wall: "Stop it, go to sleep! If you two can’t stand each other, come to my room."

"No need, just sleep."

Listening to the silence next door, Huang Tianxuan sighed, took her phone, and sent a question mark to Li Peifeng.

After a while, no reply came.

"Dead?"

Huang Tianxuan gritted her teeth, got up and left her room, gently opened the door, and tiptoed towards the stairs that led to the attic...

"Wrong way? The bathroom is behind you."

Huang Tianxuan’s steps paused, turned to look at the bedroom next to her, the door still open a crack, through which she could see Xu Manning lying on her side in bed, eyes shining with a strange light in the dark.

Then, a figure slowly sat up behind Xu Manning, probably Zhao Qingge...

The two of them staying up just to watch me?

Huang Tianxuan said peevishly: "Can’t I just get a glass of water?"

"Fetching water is fine, going upstairs is not!"

Huang Tianxuan rolled her eyes, turned and went back to her room.

Three people each with their own thoughts, but under mutual restraint, none of them made any move.

At half-past eleven, the three girls finally fell asleep one after another, their rapidly moving eyes beneath closed lids signifying they’ve entered the realm of dreams.

"Yueyue? Peifeng? Are you all here?"

"No! You... beast, let go! What are you trying to do?!"

"Li Peifeng, how dare you?"

Fearful micro-expressions and disjointed mutterings in their dreams signified they seemed to be experiencing a nightmare.

The moon blooms, flowers fall before the lamp, spring ends and people meet in dream.

Whether it’s a nightmare or a sweet dream it doesn’t matter, what matters is the clothing-free encounter in the dream.

In the cold reality transmuting a scene of warmth and passion, tumbling in the haze, colliding and parting, being born and perishing, unavoidable, inescapable...
