Chapter 893: Chapter 934 Bonding

"Back then," Li Yifei would have definitely let the two push them around, but after analyzing the situation with Su Mengxin last night, he knew that it would be incredibly hard to separate from these two unless they were unwilling to be with him anymore. Consequently, he wouldn’t be as constrained as before and wouldn’t be at a loss with them.

With a stretch of his arms, Li Yifei already had each wrapped around their waists, drawing them closer to his side. He could distinctly feel both their bodies tense up, a testament to their own nervousness.

Having been teased by the two of them for so long, Li Yifei now harbored the desire to turn the tables and tease them instead. He slowly moved his face towards Xiao Ling’er’s cheek with a look full of mischievous intent.

Xiao Ling’er tensed up even more, instinctively trying to dodge to the side, but Li Yifei’s hold made it impossible for her to escape. Not that she truly wanted to escape; it was just an instinctive reaction. She quickly recovered, biting her lip, both embarrassed and expectant, waiting for Li Yifei.

Li Yifei deliberately inched closer to Xiao Ling’er’s face, and when he was about a dozen centimeters away, he paused, sniffed twice and said, intoxicated, "You really smell wonderful."

For Xiao Ling’er, such contact made her quite uneasy. If Li Yifei had just kissed her, she would have been at ease. Instead, this prolonged enjoyment of his made her unsure of how to react.

After sniffing twice, Li Yifei suddenly turned his head towards Zheng Yuling, doing the same and remarked, "Not bad at all, Yuling, you smell fantastic too. You must be using the same brand of bath products and cosmetics."

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were left in an odd state by Li Yifei’s antics—this waiting for a kiss that was always on the brink but never delivered was truly uncomfortable.

Seeing them both almost at their wit’s end, Li Yifei suddenly leaned in and kissed Zheng Yuling on the face, then turning back and doing the same to Xiao Ling’er with a chuckle, "So fragrant, so lovely."

"You..." Both Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling felt like they had been played by Li Yifei, and they glared at him accusingly before pouncing on him from both sides.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Li Yifei exclaimed.

Xiao Ling’er gave Li Yifei a pinch on the chest and glared at him, "You jerk, you dare to play us, just wait until we deal with you."

Zheng Yuling also pinched him in indignation, saying, "Yeah, do you think just because we’re with you, you can bully us as you please?"

Li Yifei quickly pleaded for mercy, "Alright, alright, I’m sorry. Wasn’t I just trying to lighten the mood since you two seemed a bit uneasy?"

Indeed, both Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling felt some pressure due to the sudden change in their relationship with Li Yifei. Li Yifei’s antics offered them a chance to vent, and they took the opportunity to ’punish’ him thoroughly before finally settling down next to him on either side, smiling at him in unison.

Now that all three felt more relaxed, Xiao Ling’er took on a playful and cute demeanor and said, "Yifei, you’ve promised now, no backsies. I’m your woman from this point on."

Li Yifei laughed, "You won’t reconsider?"

"No need to reconsider," she replied. "I’d have to find a man sooner or later, and choosing you is not bad at all. Besides, I can still hang out with Yuling and Mengxin. Later on, if you manage to win over Mengfei, we can even play mahjong or something when we’re bored."

Zheng Yuling agreed heartily, "Exactly, it’s a must. Have you seen how smug that girl was this morning? Just knowing she’s the only one free right now is really unsettling."

Li Yifei’s expression soured, "Enough already. Mengfei is Mengxin’s cousin, how could I possibly do that? It’s better if you three just stick to Landlord. And should you really want to play mahjong, I can join in, wouldn’t that be better?"

Zheng Yuling chuckled, "Alright, we’ll listen to you. Let’s let that girl gloat for now. She’ll start envying us after some time."

Xiao Ling’er nodded repeatedly, "Exactly. It’s better to stick together as four. She insists on going solo, let’s see how lonely she gets in the future—we won’t bother with her."

Li Yifei was amused by their talk, "You two really are something. What is there to be envious of? Once Mengfei finds someone she really likes, she’ll be happy."

Xiao Ling’er scoffed, "Please, as if she can just casually pick a man. It’s not possible. All those young men around her, hardly any of them are worth considering. She might be content now, but in the future, she’ll be just like we were a few days ago, left waiting and crying."

Zheng Yuling added, "Exactly. Wouldn’t it be nicer to stay with us? Even though she and Mengxin are cousins, if their family’s elder could entrust Mengxin to you, what’s one more, giving you Mengfei?"

"Speaking of which, where have Mengxin and Mengfei gone?" Li Yifei changed the subject.

Xiao Ling’er’s face flushed with a touch of red, "Mengxin took Mengfei home to discuss the next steps with the Old Master, so you don’t need to go out. She asked you to stay here."

Li Yifei looked at Xiao Ling’er and then at Zheng Yuling. Both were somewhat shy, clearly Su Mengxin had arranged for them to have some emotional interaction with Li Yifei. As for visiting the Old Master, who has time during the day to be home? It was just an excuse to leave.

Since things had come to this point, Li Yifei stopped being coy. The situation was clear: this debt of affection, whether acknowledged or not, had to be recognized. Moreover, both Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were obviously quite willing, so he took each of their hands and said, "Well, what should the three of us do at home then?"

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling, despite usually being bold, were suddenly flustered, especially Xiao Ling’er. Normally, she was the boldest one and the most lively in causing a stir, but now she was the most embarrassed and dared not look at Li Yifei.

Zheng Yuling, however, seemed a bit braver than Xiao Ling’er at this moment. Meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, she said, "Anyway, I’m determined to follow you. Whatever you want, I’ll agree to it."

With Zheng Yuling leading the way, Xiao Ling’er gathered her courage. She also started speaking more directly, raising her head, "Even going to bed is fine!"

Li Yifei suddenly had a look of consternation and said, "You’re in such a rush to go to bed? It’s a bit too early. I might hurt your feelings by saying this, but I’ve always treated you two as friends and haven’t thought about feelings. Now that you’re following me, I’m really taken aback and not ready. Give me some time, okay? Let’s get along well and foster some affection. It’ll be really beneficial for our future relationship."

Xiao Ling’er smiled mischievously, "Whatever, I’m yours anyway. In the end, you call the shots. So, what do you want to do now? How do you suggest we bond?"

"Yeah, we have no experience. You’re the old hand here; you lead, you teach us." Zheng Yuling also looked at Li Yifei with a smile.

"You folks... have some restraint," he pleaded.

Zheng Yuling laughed, "What’s the need for restraint in front of our man? Too much restraint, and you scare the man off. That would be disastrous for us."

Mischievously, Xiao Ling’er suggested, "Why not play cards again, and draw slips of paper?"

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Okay, let’s play. But we have to make it clear—no excessive demands this time."

"Stingy! You only have to strip your clothes, that’s the most we’ll ask," said Xiao Ling’er, seeing Li Yifei red-faced with embarrassment, and she laughed even more, "We’re not asking you to get completely naked, what are you afraid of?"

Li Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having made his decision, it wasn’t that he was afraid of being intimate with them, but it all seemed too rushed. The more involved he was with relationships, the more he cared about such matters. Without affection, he just couldn’t bring himself to go through with intimacy.

The three went upstairs to Xiao Ling’er’s room to play ’Landlord fight’, which really involved drawing slips of paper.

At the beginning, the game was quite innocent, but after a while, they got into the spirit and made all kinds of bizarre demands. Xiao Ling’er asked Zheng Yuling to give Li Yifei a kiss, and when Zheng Yuling won, she immediately demanded one back. There was hugging and caressing.

However, Zheng Yuling and Xiao Ling’er did have a line they wouldn’t cross this time. They didn’t make overly intimate requests, but it was still tantalizing enough.

Even so, the exciting feeling was even stronger than the time after they got drunk. The reason was simple: back then, it was just fooling around, they were too drunk, and none of it was from the heart. Now the situation was different. A small touch elicited a throb of the heart, a small kiss an overwhelming sensation.

After playing for a while, Li Yifei pushed the cards away, "I can’t play anymore."

"What’s wrong?"

Both were having a great time, so they looked at Li Yifei somewhat puzzled.

"I really can’t continue playing. If I keep going, I won’t be able to take it anymore."

All three were wearing pajamas. Though not very thin, the tent that had been pitched in Li Yifei’s lower region was quite evident, which made both Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling burst into laughter, their faces reddening.

In the past, Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling might indeed have made some excessive jokes, perhaps suggesting, "Let us help you out. We can do it, don’t hold back," and the like.

But now it was different; they remembered Li Yifei’s words, that without the right emotional connection, engaging in those acts would only leave regrets.

Such restraint made them even fonder of Li Yifei; it wasn’t just about physical ability, but a serious attitude towards feelings, which seemed to touch women’s hearts even more.
