Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1291 - 1441 It’s Not About One Person

"Little Yue... Ah!" Li Yifei walked in and immediately saw Zhou Xiaoyue and Chu Xiaoyao on the bed, but he quickly noticed Zhou Xiaoyue’s bare bottom exposed. Even though it was just a white, round patch, it was alluring enough to make him hurriedly turn away and retreat.

Zhou Xiaoyue heard Li Yifei’s voice and, snapping back to her senses, turned her head and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re back."

"Yeah, I’m back. Xiaoyao, come out and grab the medicine." Li Yifei called from outside.

Chu Xiaoyao responded and dashed out to get the medicine. When she returned and caught sight of Zhou Xiaoyue’s exposed bottom, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, "Hey, Zhou Xiaoyue, you’re being way too straightforward. Already starting to seduce our hubby, huh?"

"Ah!" Zhou Xiaoyue finally realized her pants weren’t pulled up, and she immediately became flustered, hurriedly attempting to pull them up.

"Why bother pulling them up now? It’s already been seen. Besides, I still need to apply the medicine."

Blushing fiercely, Zhou Xiaoyue gave Chu Xiaoyao a push and scolded, "Then close the door!"

Chu Xiaoyao chuckled mischievously and said, "We’ve already seen it. What’s wrong with taking another look?"

Fuming with embarrassment, Zhou Xiaoyue snapped, "If you don’t close the door, I won’t let you apply the medicine."

"Alright, alright. It’s only a matter of time; what’s the big deal?" Chu Xiaoyao mumbled under her breath, then leaped off the bed with a playful laugh, closing the door behind her. Before doing so, she shouted to Li Yifei at the doorway, "Hubby, I’m applying medicine to Xiao Yue’s bottom. Don’t you dare peek!"

Once the door was closed, Chu Xiaoyao jumped back onto the bed and began applying the medicine. As her hands touched Zhou Xiaoyue, the latter cried out in pain repeatedly while Chu Xiaoyao grinned mischievously, saying, "You’ll just have to bear with me. I’m not as skilled as our hubby, so you’ll need to endure. Honestly, if hubby were the one doing it, you wouldn’t even need any medicine; just a bit of his magic touch would do the trick—just like when he healed us before."

Zhou Xiaoyue thought about how her hand had hurt earlier during the day when she’d hit someone. Li Yifei had massaged it for a while, and the pain had vanished. She figured the same should apply to her bottom too. But since Li Yifei didn’t intervene, likely due to the awkwardness of the situation, it fell upon Chu Xiaoyao to treat her with the medicine.

After a while, the pain in Zhou Xiaoyue’s bottom started to subside. Remembering what Chu Xiaoyao had said earlier, Zhou Xiaoyue asked, "Xiaoyao, are you really never going to age?"

"It’s not ’never age’ exactly. Hubby said that until at least sixty, we’ll be fine. After sixty, it’s possible for the aging process to accelerate rapidly, returning us to normal. But before that, we’ll remain young and vibrant. Just thinking about it excites me—having decades of youth, even if I die right after, it’s worth it."

Zhou Xiaoyue went silent, lying on the bed with narrowed eyes, lost in thought.

"Xiao Yue, this is just between us. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t tell them. Think about it: if everyone wanted this and started vying for hubby, we’d have chaos at home. So you’d better think carefully. I’m not joking."

"Oh..." Zhou Xiaoyue replied softly as though she agreed, without opposing Chu Xiaoyao this time.

"But I suggest you don’t tell Sister Yunzhu. What if it upsets her or other family members? Better to act first and handle the fallout later. Once it’s done, no one will be able to oppose."

"Ugh, that’s so shameless."

"How is it shameless? Think about it: decades of youth in exchange for little embarrassment. Totally worth it! Besides, our hubby is such an amazing man. If you end up with him, he’d never mistreat you; he’ll definitely treat you extremely well."

"But... but... my brother-in-law has never liked me," Zhou Xiaoyue murmured hesitantly, biting her lip.

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up instantly, "Wait, does this mean you agree?"

"I... You’ve painted such a rosy picture, and I’m also afraid that when I grow old, you’ll still be young and vibrant. Hanging out together will make me look like your mom—or worse, your grandmother. Could we even stay friends then?"

Chu Xiaoyao clapped her hands excitedly, "Exactly! It’s decided, then."

"Ouch!" Zhou Xiaoyue yelped, grimacing in pain, "Chu Xiaoyao, are you trying to kill me?"

As Chu Xiaoyao had swung her hand in excitement, she accidentally smacked Zhou Xiaoyue’s bottom. She quickly apologized, laughing sheepishly, "Sorry, I was just too thrilled. Don’t worry—this plan’s on me. Just follow my lead, and sooner or later, hubby will fall for you."

"But my brother-in-law has never liked me."

"So what? Make him like you, duh. Tell me, do you like our hubby or not?"

Blushing furiously, Zhou Xiaoyue answered, "If I didn’t like him, why would I agree to this? What do you think—I’m crazy? I’ve always admired him deeply. But my sister’s with him, so I’ve never dared think about it."

"Then it’s settled. If you like him, there’s no problem. We’ll stick with hubby as long as it takes."

Zhou Xiaoyue spat at Chu Xiaoyao playfully, "You’re trying to rope me into your schemes again!"

Chu Xiaoyao giggled, "If this trick were used on anyone else, it might not work. You, however, are different. You’re my best friend and Sister Yunzhu’s cousin. That gives you endless reasons to get closer to our hubby."

"I feel like I’ve lost my dignity entirely. I won’t dare face people anymore."

"Haha! A little loss in dignity now for decades of pride in the future—totally a win, right?"

Li Yifei, sitting outside watching TV, could hear the chatter coming from the room. If he tried channeling his energy, he could’ve listened to everything, but he chose not to—it felt wrong to eavesdrop on the private conversations of two girls. Thus, he had no idea about the scheme being hatched within.

After making a phone call to his home, Li Yifei got up to take a shower and then returned to his bedroom. Not long after, Chu Xiaoyao pushed the door open and came in.

"Is Xiao Yue feeling better?" Li Yifei casually asked. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"A little better, but still bruised and sore when pressed. Hubby, why don’t you help her out so she can recover faster?"

"Forget it. That spot’s way too awkward, and it’s not a serious injury. It’ll heal naturally in a couple of days."

"Hehe... Xiao Yue wouldn’t mind."

"Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t mind. If word got out, imagine how it’d look. As her brother-in-law, I’d never explain myself."

Chu Xiaoyao chuckled softly, "Brother-in-law seducing his sister-in-law—totally normal."

Li Yifei thought she was referring to Xu Shanshan and felt guilty immediately, stammering, "What do you mean seducing..."

Chu Xiaoyao caught his expression change and became thrilled, laughing, "Haha, hubby, so you really had these thoughts! You’re so bold. Come on, confess—how long have you been thinking about this? Don’t worry, I won’t spill to anyone."

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, judging that since his situation with Xu Shanshan would eventually come to light, it was better to tell Chu Xiaoyao now. She could help smooth things over later, especially for Xu Yingying.

"Um... It’s been quite a while."

"What? Quite a while?" Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes gleamed even brighter. "Hubby, you’re so audacious! Tell me—when did you start having these thoughts?"

"Well... I never initially thought about it. We just spent time together naturally, and I gradually started liking her."

"Spent time together... So it started a few years ago, huh." Chu Xiaoyao frowned slightly, trying to recollect their interactions. From her memory, Zhou Xiaoyue hardly spent time alone with Li Yifei, except during the period after her parents had passed, when she often tagged along.

"Yeah, back then. The three of us lived together, went through many things, and I ended up having more one-on-one time with her."

"Wow, she’s really keeping things to herself. She never said a word to me!"

Li Yifei laughed, "Of course she wouldn’t tell you. This isn’t something you can openly discuss, especially if her sister found out—it’d be a complete disaster."

Chu Xiaoyao nodded, "You’re right. If Yingying knew, it’d be serious trouble."

"Exactly. So we’ve been suppressing these feelings, never letting them show."

"Haha, you’re quite the actor. I always thought you had no interest. Hubby, you’re sneaky."

Li Yifei smiled awkwardly, "Well, yeah, but this has to stay secret. Aside from Mengxin and Jiang Ningxiang, no one else knows."

"Wait, Sister Mengxin and Little Ningxiang both know?" Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened, then she exclaimed indignantly, "That’s unfair! They know, but I don’t?"

"Mengxin knows because she’s closest to her, and she’s Ningxiang’s mentor. Naturally, they were in the loop."

"Her mentor..." Suddenly, Chu Xiaoyao froze, her expression turning peculiar, before she collapsed onto the bed laughing uncontrollably.

Li Yifei was baffled, "What’s going on? Why are you laughing so much?"

"Hubby... Haha..." Chu Xiaoyao raised her head and rolled onto Li Yifei, laughing wildly. Her laughter only grew louder, leaving Li Yifei even more confused. Finally, between giggles, she said, "This is such a delightful surprise. Who would’ve thought Sister Shanshan already had a thing with you? You two kept it hidden so well."

"Um... Why does this feel off?" Li Yifei frowned, sensing some subtext in her words.

With a sly grin, Chu Xiaoyao said, "Nothing’s off. Come on, spill the details about you and Shanshan. I can help you out."
