Chapter 282: Chapter 188, The Living Dead!_2

Caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure of what to do.

Tang Fei knew Phoenix’s concerns, if it had been someone else asking, it wouldn’t have mattered much.

She was a Princess of the Empire, yet she was poking around in military affairs, which might lead others to think that she was interested in that position as well.

The military is a vital tool of the state, not something ordinary people dare touch lightly.

Tang Fei reassured her, saying, "It’s fine, I just wanted to tell you about this... You don’t need to do anything, and please don’t do anything either."

"I’ll be careful," Phoenix nodded and asked, "Are you and Little Fatty okay?"

Hearing Phoenix inquire about him, Little Fatty, who was sitting beside, hurriedly squeezed his big face into the camera, excitedly saying, "Sister Phoenix, I’m fine. Not even a scratch."

"It’s good that Little Fatty is okay. Be careful in the future and take good care of yourself." Phoenix’s face lit up with a smile, finding inexplicable joy at the sight of Little Fatty’s chubby face.

"Yeah," Little Fatty nodded, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Phoenix."

Phoenix turned to Tang Fei and said, "I heard from Xin Huai that she drank too much at your place last night?"

"She insisted on competing with me in drinking, and ended up knocking herself out..." Tang Fei said.

He thought, Why is Phoenix asking this?

Does she already know about Mr. Sheng spending the night here?

Should I confess proactively?

"What did you do then? Did you send her back?"

"No," Tang Fei prepared to tell the truth, as nothing beyond drinking had occurred between him and Sheng Xinhua. "She stayed over here."

Little Fatty panicked and hurriedly explained, "Sister Phoenix, don’t worry, my brother and Mr. Sheng slept separately..."

"..."

Tang Fei felt like smashing Little Fatty’s head.

Do I need your explanation?

Can this even be explained?

Don’t you know that some things only get worse the more you try to explain?

"Is that so?" Phoenix’s smile faded, her expression turned serious, a storm brewing as she asked sternly, "How can you prove that?"

Little Fatty thought Phoenix was angry and quickly explained, "I personally saw Big Brother carry Mr. Sheng upstairs, then he went down to sleep on the sofa... When I woke up to train in the morning, he was still on the sofa."

"..." Tang Fei.

The desire to explode Little Fatty’s head intensified.

Phoenix looked at Tang Fei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile and asked, "How did it feel to carry Mr. Sheng upstairs?"

Eh, this question sounds familiar.

Has someone asked this before?

Do all women like to ask this?

Don’t they prefer to ask ’Do you love me?’, ’Does this outfit look good on me?’, ’Have I gained weight?’...

The internet is full of lies.

Tang Fei looked at Phoenix seriously and said, "Feel? There wasn’t much of a feeling. Just felt quite heavy. It wasn’t as comfortable as carrying you back from Hate Mountain..."

"..."

Phoenix herself felt a bit embarrassed.

"I had no choice," Tang Fei explained, "You know I am a person of high morals, and I couldn’t just leave our drunk friend on the sofa while Little Fatty and I slept in beds... Especially since she’s your best friend..."

"Bro, you could have let me sleep on the sofa," Little Fatty said earnestly, "Next time Mr. Sheng gets drunk, let her sleep in my bed, and I’ll sleep on the sofa... I really like sleeping on the sofa. It’s soft and more comfortable than a bed."

"..." Tang Fei.

This little brother is really beyond help, whoever wants him can have him...

"Exactly." Phoenix’s face beamed with a smile as she echoed Little Fatty, saying, "I remember you sleep in the second-floor room, right? Carrying her upstairs is too much hassle, just leaving her on the first floor is much better..."

Tang Fei glared fiercely at Little Fatty, saying, "Next time for sure."

Phoenix then laughed cheerfully, saying, "Okay, I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll tell you as soon as I get any information."

"Yeah, you go have something to eat. Don’t starve yourself," Tang Fei said.

"Okay," Phoenix waved at Tang Fei.

Then turned to Little Fatty and said, "Little Fatty, I’ll send you some pastries in a few days."

"Thank you, Sister Phoenix. I really love the pastries you bring, they are indeed different from the ones made at school..."

"Then I’ll bring you more next time," Phoenix said.

After hanging up the phone, Little Fatty proudly said, "Brother, I did pretty well, right? I was afraid Sister Phoenix might misunderstand you and Mr. Sheng, so I explained right away..."

"You did very well, just don’t do it again next time."

"Why?" Little Fatty looked confused.

"You know nothing about relationships."

Little Fatty looked at Tang Fei puzzledly and asked, "Brother, do you know? You haven’t been in a relationship either."

"..." "You go to school."

"Oh," Little Fatty agreed reluctantly.

The incidents from last night terrified him; he didn’t want to go to school...

But since Big Brother told him to go, he had to.

Moreover, the headmaster had assigned him tasks too, he had to hit the water at Black Dragon Pond daily.

When he struck, it remained water.

How could water be broken?

Haven’t they sung it in the song? Withdrawing the sword breaks the water, yet the water flows even more...

After sending Little Fatty away, Tang Fei securely closed all the courtyard and house doors before entering a long string of encryption codes, dialing the boss’s phone number.
