Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 The Other Side of the Coin



Xu Yingying went into the bathroom first, and Liu Yifei then went to talk with Xu Zhenguo, who was tidying up his plants on the balcony. Li Yifei, not understanding much about plants, could only stand by and admire.

After seeing Xu Yingying come out, Li Yifei entered the bathroom, casually closing the door behind him. Then he sat on the toilet. Although men usually stand to urinate, they still have to sit down for a bowel movement.

However, before Li Yifei could get started, the bathroom door was suddenly yanked open. A woman wearing a tank top and tight nude-colored underpants walked in, rubbing her eyes and completely oblivious to the fact that there was a grown man inside.

The girl just came in like that, and Li Yifei was caught so off-guard that, what's more outrageous, the woman began walking toward the toilet while reaching to pull down her pants.

This gave Li Yifei quite a scare. Although he hadn't seen the girl's face clearly, he knew she must be Xu Yingying's sister, Xu Shanshan. He could never have imagined his first encounter with his Little Aunt under such circumstances.

"Stop!" Li Yifei shouted loudly. Then he hurriedly covered his eyes, a necessary gesture; otherwise, his fate would have been sealed. However, by then, Xu Shanshan's pants had already been pulled down a bit.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, Xu Shanshan finally noticed someone was in the bathroom and dashed out as fast as lightning, the bathroom door swinging open and then shut again.

Li Yifei hurriedly pulled up his pants, his scare having made the urge to go disappear, and now he certainly couldn't continue.

After quickly fixing himself up, Li Yifei rushed out of the bathroom and saw Xu Yingying standing fiercely at the bathroom door, staring at him.

Li Yifei, with an embarrassed expression, said, "I was in the bathroom... and she just walked in. I think she wasn't fully awake yet."

Xu Zhenguo and his wife rushed over at that moment, and hearing Li Yifei say this, they also realized that he had been the first to enter the bathroom. Therefore, they understood that the incident wasn't Li Yifei's fault. With an extra person in the house and Xu Shanshan not having met him the day before, nobody could be blamed for the mishap.

"I... I'll go wash my face now." In this awkward atmosphere, Li Yifei turned and headed back into the bathroom.

When Li Yifei came out again, the door to Xu Shanshan's room quickly opened, and a figure dashed into the bathroom, leaving behind the words, "Slower than an old cow." The voice was crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell.

At that moment, Xu Yingying came over, took Li Yifei back to the bedroom, and closed the door. She stared intently at Li Yifei and asked, "What were you doing when my sister walked in?"

"I was going to the toilet, but I was sitting down. She walked in rubbing her eyes, and she didn't see anything."

"Then what did you see?"

"I was just stunned at the time. I didn't really see anything. I only knew your sister had walked in," Li Yifei certainly couldn't say otherwise.

Xu Yingying's sharp gaze softened, and she said with satisfaction, "Well, that's good then." Over the years, Xu Yingying had developed a keen gaze and the ability to see through people. If Li Yifei had been lying, she believed she would have been able to tell.

Unfortunately, she was too confident. Li Yifei's skills in this area had been honed to an incredible degree, just in case he got caught and needed to withstand interrogation. As good as Xu Yingying might be, when compared to the brutal training Li Yifei had undergone, she was just playing child's games. If he intended to hide the truth, there was no way Xu Yingying could have noticed.

When the two came out of the bedroom again, Xu Shanshan was already in the living room. Dressed in a small floral cotton outfit and with her black hair tied in a ponytail, her appearance was identical to Xu Yingying's. Even the fine details like their eyebrows were exactly the same; indeed, they were a pair of twins.

However, Li Yifei could still tell the two sisters apart at a glance, as they had distinct auras. Xu Yingying, because she was a CEO, had an imposing presence and an air of authority that demanded respect without anger. Xu Shanshan, on the other hand, was a stunning urban girl, radiating a youthful vigor and liveliness all around her.

At that moment, Xu Shanshan was sizing up Li Yifei as well. It seemed that she wasn't too embarrassed about the incident that had just occurred, and she took the initiative to extend her hand, saying, "Xu Shanshan, your girlfriend's twin sister. Who would have thought the first encounter between brother-in-law and Little Aunt would happen in the bathroom, huh?"

Li Yifei shook hands with Xu Shanshan and said, "I'm really sorry, I should have let Shanshan sister know I was coming in advance, so we could have avoided such an awkward situation. So the fault lies with me, and I hope Shanshan sister won't mind."

Xu Shanshan giggled, winked at Xu Yingying, and said, "I don't mind, of course, I don't mind—as long as my sister doesn't mind, I don't mind."

Xu Yingying snorted and said, "You let others take advantage of you, what is there for me to mind about?"

Xu Shanshan pouted, then moved closer to Li Yifei, and whispered in his ear, "I say, brother-in-law, how can you stand my sister? I'm seriously impressed."

Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "That's because you don't know—your sister might seem cold on the outside, but she also has a tender side."

"Really? I've never noticed it. Her face is always stern, like someone owes her a ton of money. If I were a man, I couldn't stand her."

"You brat, what are you saying?" Xu Yingying immediately glared.

"There, it's starting again. I'm telling you, brother-in-law, my sister is really high maintenance."

"You brat, is that how you talk about your sister?" Xu Yingying's mother came over at this point and scolded, then dragged Xu Shanshan away to prepare breakfast.

Li Yifei turned to look at Xu Yingying and smiled, "Your sister is quite lively, isn't she?"

"Hmph, she never settles down, always giving people a headache," Xu Yingying replied with helpless resignation on her face.

Li Yifei found it somewhat amusing. Although Xu Yingying was the older sister, the two were twins and it was hard to tell who was the elder. The way she always acted like the big sister, it was no wonder the relationship between Xu Shanshan and her was not that great.

During the meal, Xu Shanshan's gaze kept wandering over him and Xu Yingying. She suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "Sis, why don't you peel an egg for your boyfriend?"

Xu Yingying was startled, feeling like her sister might have noticed something, but she responded quickly, "He has hands, doesn't he? Can't he peel it himself?"

"That's your boyfriend, you know. I'm not criticizing you, but you should be a bit gentler to your own boyfriend, even if you're cold to everyone else, right?"

"I just can't do gentle, so what?"

At that moment, Li Yifei peeled an egg himself, placed it in front of Xu Yingying, and said with a smile, "It's always been me taking care of your sister. When will she ever take care of me?"

Xu Yingying saw that the egg Li Yifei had peeled was done entirely by hand, and even handed over by hand. Though she was not exactly a germaphobe, the thought of eating something a man had handled with his hands made her quite uncomfortable. However, noticing her sister watching her with glee, she took the egg, feigning triumph, and bit into it while suppressing her discomfort.
