Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1439 - 1488: Xu Shanshan’s Whimsical Ideas
As soon as Li Yifei arrived, he felt a different aura, as if there was a faint green in the air, representing the color of life. It was subtle, yet tangible, different from the aura of a temple, and unlike the cold breath of Cang Village.
It was very different. Li Yifei, sensing the presence of this aura, understood that the changes in the flowers, plants, and trees could be traced back to their source, indeed, just as Na Yi had said, it was brought by Worm King Xiaowu.
Very impressive, Li Yifei nodded slightly. Now, the people surrounding the Li family were spreading rumors, saying the Li family was protected by heaven, which is why such strange phenomena occurred.
This was a good thing to spread, something that inspired confidence, and Li Yifei didn’t tell his people not to talk about it.
As Li Yifei walked in, both daughters noticed him. Li Yufei pointed at an unusually large butterfly and called to him, "Dad, look at this big butterfly, it’s beautiful and has been here for three days."
Li Yifei looked over and saw a very beautiful butterfly, one he couldn’t recall seeing before. However, what pleased him more was that both daughters didn’t attempt to catch butterflies or bees. They played around without disturbing them, not even the second daughter tried to step on the butterflies or bees.
This was related to the two women reading quietly not far away. Their education to the children was pivotal.
Li Yifei went over to admire the butterflies and bees with his daughters, and heard the youngest daughter say unclearly, "Butterfly, it’s time to go home today. Bye-bye!"
Li Yifei smirked and gently pulled the second daughter, asking, "Daughter, you like this butterfly so much, why not keep it?"
"No, mom said these bees and butterflies are just like us, out to play. They have parents and family back home. If we keep them, their parents will be worried and miss them." Li Yufei hurriedly answered, as if fearing Li Yifei might try to catch these butterflies, she quickly stood in front of him. The second daughter did the same, arms outstretched, with a determined look on her face, cheeks puffed out, saying, "Dad, you can’t."
Li Yifei burst into laughter, moved, he embraced his daughters, and said, "Dad is not a bad person, of course I won’t keep them, my good daughters, you did very well, really well."
The two daughters didn’t quite grasp the meaning of his words, but knew Li Yifei wouldn’t catch their friends, so they were happy. After staying in his embrace for a moment, they went back to playing with the butterflies and bees.
Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er looked up from their books, exchanged a glance, and both smiled. These two were intelligent women who had not just once discussed the issue of educating the next generation. The Li family is already a large family and will develop further. With five children now, educating the next generation is already a matter to be embarked upon.
They certainly didn’t want future situations to be like "My dad is Li so-and-so" or "My mom is Ye so-and-so." It’s not just the concern of these two women, but of all the Li family women. It’s a significant matter.
Li Yifei went to see the place where the Worm King was kept, a few bamboo trees, planted together, now three to four meters tall. The cocoon formed by Xiaowu was placed on them, with nothing else around. The cocoon seemed to float on the bamboo, securely yet seemingly weightless.
"Na Yi said it’s fine this way, just not sure when this little thing will hatch. I’m really eager to see the beautiful butterfly; it must be exceptionally pretty." Ye Yunzhu said proactively as she approached Li Yifei alongside Ning Xin’er.
"Wives, you are amazing." Li Yifei’s face was full of pride. The daughters’ education stood as a testament. Though young, the seeds sown in their hearts will sprout and grow with time, affecting their entire lives.
Ning Xin’er gave a proud smile, saying, "You fight outside, if we can’t even manage the home, how can we be of any help to you?"
Li Yifei held the hands of the two women and said, "Haha, Xin’er, with you saying that, I’ll be even prouder."
Just as he spoke, Xu Shanshan came running over. Covering the distance of tens of meters in an instant, she stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother-in-law, I’ve found you."
Ning Xin’er, seeing Xu Shanshan in a hurry, quickly asked, "Shanshan, what’s happened?"
Xu Shanshan waved her hand, saying, "Nothing really, it’s just I suddenly thought of a way and wanted to find brother-in-law to try it out!"
After speaking, she looked at Li Yifei, asking, "Brother-in-law, are you free now?"
Li Yifei nodded, and his hand was grabbed by Xu Shanshan, dragged away before he could react.
Li Yifei could only turn his head and shout, "Take care of the children, I’ll be right back."
Dragged by Xu Shanshan to her villa and directly into the bedroom, Li Yifei was still puzzled. He stopped and quickly asked, "Shanshan, what method did you think of?"
Xu Shanshan first went to the window to check if anyone followed, then said, "Method... Shh, I think this can’t be known by the other sisters, that’s why I dragged you here."
"What method is so mysterious!" Li Yifei chuckled, suddenly pausing, then said, "You wouldn’t suggest doing that kind of thing with you, would you? No, I have feelings for you. Never mind doing it, even hugging you would make my mind wander uncontrollably and my heart could hardly take it, let alone doing it."
Xu Shanshan punched Li Yifei lightly, rolled her eyes, and said, "Of all times, you’re joking. Of course, that’s not what I’m thinking. Brother-in-law, be serious."
Li Yifei pointed to himself, somewhat feeling wronged, and said, "How am I not serious..."
"Anyway, it’s not with you, nor is it with Na Yi or any of our family women."
"Alright, I’m completely confused. Let’s sit down, and you can explain what you thought of." Li Yifei said as he sat on Xu Shanshan’s bed, waiting for her to unveil her thoughts.
Xu Shanshan stood in front of Li Yifei, raised her hand, and said, "I don’t know if it would work, but I suddenly thought about it, so I sought you out."
Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, listening with anticipation.
Xu Shanshan then said, "My suggestion is that brother-in-law doesn’t only feel pain during emotional moments, but that doesn’t mean you’ll feel pain doing that kind of thing. So, I thought, if you don’t do it with us? That way, you won’t get emotional, and that thing inside you won’t act up..."
The more Li Yifei listened, the wider his eyes opened. In the end, he rolled them upwards, and Xu Shanshan watched, waiting for his response. Seeing his expression, she frowned and urged, "Brother-in-law, say something. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"It’s not wrong, but... this doesn’t exist. I admit I met Fang Qing this way, but since then, I haven’t been involved with random women."
"How not? Song Lianyao, Li Xinyue, weren’t they met the same way? Okay, I admit, you liked them before being with them, but that’s not what I’m discussing now. I’m saying, no matter how many women you have, as long as you love me, it’s fine." Xu Shanshan waved her hand, showing she didn’t mind, then added, "I just thought of finding a woman you don’t know, don’t have feelings for, to see if that way, you won’t get emotional."
Li Yifei didn’t know how to respond to Xu Shanshan’s wild idea and could only spread his hands and shrug his shoulders.
Xu Shanshan grew anxious, having explained her method, but Li Yifei remained silent, so she grabbed his arm, shook it several times, and urged, "So, brother-in-law, what do you think? I think this method is great. I even heard sister and Mengxin say earlier that you’ve held back for so long, it’s not good for your health. If this method works, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much."
Regardless of how Xu Shanshan overheard two women discussing or what they uncovered, there’s no way Li Yifei could accept it. He immediately shook his head and released Xu Shanshan’s hand. His expression turned serious, and his voice lowered a notch as he said, "Shanshan, I know you mean well, but thoughts like these shouldn’t be voiced again. This suggestion isn’t worth recommending."
"Though I could have no emotional attachment to those women, which might work, my heart and body cannot accept such actions. I’ve already got you all, and need no other women. More importantly, doing that just to seek out others isn’t right. I promised you I’d not bring random women home anymore, and just as you’ve not found other men because of my incapacity and stood by me, I wouldn’t do such things."
Xu Shanshan’s expression shifted several times, but hearing all Li Yifei said, her heart warmed, making her want to hug him.
Feeling somewhat choked, Xu Shanshan said, "Brother-in-law, I’m sorry. I didn’t say these things to upset you. I was genuinely thinking of a way to help you alleviate your problem. If I could resolve your physical issues, I’d do anything, but I can’t. I’m your woman, the person in your heart, and if we are intimate, that thing inside you will flare up. Na Yi could, but you won’t touch her, so I thought of this method... Sorry."
Li Yifei hugged Xu Shanshan, wiped her tears, patted her back, and sighed, "I understand your intentions, and I wasn’t upset with you. You meant well, nevertheless, let’s not bring this up again. You’ve been enduring too, and I’m aware of that."
