Chapter 20: Sneaky Moves
Yang Fei fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally lifted his head, the usual carefree expression gone.
He said earnestly, "Sister Xueyi, just remember that I would never hurt you."
"As for the rest, I'll tell you slowly if there's a chance in the future."
"Mm, I trust you, sister is waiting for you."
Lin Xueyi was a smart woman.
From Yang Fei's unusual behavior, she keenly sensed that behind this seemingly foolish man, there must be a heart-wrenching past that ordinary people couldn't understand.
Lin Xueyi nodded and sighed, "Actually, from you, I always feel a familiar aura."
"My brother, Lin Zi, also carries the same aura, reassuring and warming."
"As for the past, don't talk about it, sister won't ask. Just stay well here with me."
"Lin Zi..."
Yang Fei's heart quivered, and he quickly lowered his head, his eyes slightly moist.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, "It's getting late, sister, you should rest early. How about I take the night shift today?"
"Okay, thanks for the trouble."
Lin Xueyi did not refuse and gracefully left the room.
As if she remembered something, she turned back and said worriedly, "Tonight, Wu Wei suffered a big loss again, do you think he'll back down?"
Yang Fei blew a smoke ring and watched the curling smoke with a thoughtful look, "There's no turning back after the bow is drawn, I'm not worried about Wu Wei confronting us outright."
"I'm just worried about him using dirty tricks, that would be troublesome."
"What should we do?"
Lin Xueyi was somewhat anxious.
Yang Fei lazily stretched and pinched out the cigarette in his hand.
He said lightly, "I didn't want to get involved, but if Wu Wei really doesn't know any better, I don't mind playing with him, hehe."
Saying this, he shrugged his shoulders and reverted back to his fearless, carefree demeanor.
He gestured to Lin Xueyi with a cheeky smile, "Look, Sister Xueyi, in the middle of the night, a lonely man and woman, a situation ripe for mischief, what a bore."
"How about we play a game in bed? Don't worry, it's purely academic research, very pure."
Lin Xueyi snorted and lifted her leg out the door, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory; go play with your 'Five Fingers Lady.' I'm going to take a shower first."
She took a few steps and turned back, "You better not peek again, otherwise, I won't spare you."
"How could I, I'm very pure, definitely not a bad guy..."
Yang Fei replied with a smile, bowing and scraping.
Lin Xueyi snorted again and coldly left a remark, "Right, you're not a bad person, but you're monstrous when you're bad."
The next day, early in the morning, Yang Fei got up and practiced boxing on the terrace.
In Lin Xueyi's view, this guy's way of boxing was just tormenting himself in different ways.
His body bent backward folding over, his head moving from back to front, crawling out from his trousers.
Then, this guy would lift his feet, place his palms on the ground, and grunt from his throat, looking like a giant toad.
Or, he would take a horse stance, his hips undulating, standing for an hour without blinking.
Oddly, there was dense smoke over his hair, shooting straight up into the sky.
All these baffling behaviors made him hard to figure out, Lin Xueyi couldn't be bothered with his affairs.
After finishing boxing, Yang Fei went downstairs.
He used a high-pressure water jet to clean the concrete surface in front of the hotel and even the dirt on the streets.
After cleaning, Yang Fei returned to the counter.
Li Hong had gotten used to his slapping, so when she saw him approaching, she involuntarily shivered.
She instinctively covered herself and greeted Yang Fei, "Morning, Brother Fei."
Slap!
Yang Fei, as if he hadn't seen a thing, slapped Li Hong on the shoulder, "These days might not be peaceful, I'll take over the counter today."
Li Hong rolled her eyes at him, "Brother Fei, you're stealing my tofu again, hmph!"
Yang Fei chuckled and struck a Dragon Claw Hand pose, "Little girl, what do you know, I'm just helping you develop."
"Weren't you asking me how to do that move? The key is to grab..."
He said while gesturing with his claws.
Li Hong exclaimed in shock, swiftly distancing herself from him.
She turned her head and made a face at him, "Save it, if Sister Xueyi finds out, she'll dock your pay again."
Yang Fei chuckled and shook his head.
He sat idly in front of the desk, opened a game called Pretty Girls Match, and started playing.
The work at the desk, although simple, was quite tedious.
Every guest had to be checked in, and finding room keys was part of the routine.
Usually, tasks like these were handled by staff like Li Hong and Axiang on a rotating basis.
Lin Xueyi came downstairs and watched him for a while, quickly becoming disgruntled.
She pointed at Yang Fei, "You little brat, where are you even looking?"
"Most who rent rooms by the hour here are college students from around here. You keep staring at them, making them shy. They likely won't come back next time."
Yang Fei merely grunted and lazily glanced at Lin Xueyi.
He only looked at her once, but couldn't take his eyes off her.
Yang Fei grinned and sighed, "Sister Xueyi, I know it's a lot more comfortable to take off your bra when you sleep at night."
"But to go without one this early in the morning, aren't you just asking for me to get a nosebleed?"
Indeed, Lin Xueyi wasn't wearing much underneath.
She was dressed in a green silk dress with complicated lotus flower embroidery on the shoulders and chest, all rigorously covering her.
Lin Xueyi never imagined this jerk could be so observant.
With just one look, he managed to notice she hadn't put anything on.
Lin Xueyi felt a chill at her chest, as if his eyes had X-ray vision and could see through her with no obstruction.
She blushed, spat at Yang Fei, cursed at him, and dashed upstairs.
Yang Fei snickered, shook his head, whistled loudly, and busied himself again.
Around one in the afternoon, trouble arrived.
A guy with a Beckham hairstyle dyed green hair, arm in arm with a heavily made-up young girl, entered the Lanting Hotel.
As he walked in, he slapped the desk and said arrogantly, "Got any deluxe rooms by the hour left? Open one for your young master here."
Yang Fei looked up at Green Hair and glanced briefly at the girl by his side.
He grinned and said, "Yes, yes, yes, room 213, spacious and clean, just got new sheets changed. Buddy, do you need a cover?"
"Bullshit, if there aren't even covers in your rooms, what kind of hotel is this?"
Green Hair flared up, as did the girl beside him with a snort.
The girl arrogantly pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
The smoke from her mouth spewed out, almost hitting Yang Fei's face.
Yang Fei chuckled, "Sorry, room 213 just got cleaned."
"The guests before were wild, used up all the covers in the room, a total of eight, can you believe it?"
"Wild my ass, give your young master eight too."
Green Hair snorted, extended his hand, and tilted his head back proudly.
Yang Fei chuckled, fetched a box of Durex from below the counter, came around, and presented them to Green Hair with great attentiveness.
He patted Green Hair's shoulder, "Take it easy, brother. In these matters, the bull might get tired, but the soil never spoils. Let's take care of our bodies."
"Enough, enough, stop nagging!"
Green Hair snorted again, impatiently brushing Yang Fei's hand away and went upstairs with the girl in his arms.
"Yang Fei, what's going on?"
Just at that moment, Lin Xueyi came downstairs and asked.
Her wavy burgundy hair accentuated her serene and majestic cheeks, emanating a stunning tenderness and open-heartedness.
The soft, fitted coffee-colored cashmere sweater and tight pencil skirt displayed her graceful mature figure to the fullest.
All of a sudden, Yang Fei found his gaze lingering on her once again.
The beauty of Sister Xueyi, refined by the years like fine wine, was intoxicating and irresistible.
"Yang Fei... what are you staring at? I asked you about those two just now, what was that all about?"
Lin Xueyi raised her voice, and Yang Fei suddenly snapped back to reality.
He chuckled, opened his tightly clenched palm, and stretched it out in front of Lin Xueyi.
He spoke lightly, "Indeed, the other party pulled a sneaky move, see what this is?"
