Sun Li is going abroad for further studies, which is a great opportunity. Chinese people view going abroad as a way to enhance their status, and those who return from overseas have a distinctly different identity and standing. Sun Li naturally longs for that day to come. Fei Hu can only applaud her farewell. In the last few days, the two of them have been enjoying each other's company every night, deeply in love.
Meanwhile, Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei have also been working tirelessly day and night. To ensure the smooth convening of the Dragon Tiger Gang, neither of them has managed to get a good night's sleep. The current issue is where to arrange the venue for over five hundred people. It's not just about money; after all, this is a large gathering of gang members, and if things go wrong, it could disturb the public and attract police attention, making the situation difficult to control. Additionally, they are worried about Ye Wu and Ye Wei causing trouble behind the scenes. To put it simply, they are lacking capable hands.
To keep herself awake, Ye Xiaofei has been drinking cup after cup of bitter coffee. As another night passes without resolution, Yingzi suddenly suggests, "Since Fei Hu should be recovering well by now, why don't we ask him for help? He might have some good ideas. If he takes charge of security on that day, it would save us a lot of worry."
"That sounds good! Why don't you go invite him over? I've noticed that you two have a really close relationship; it's like you're best buddies," Ye Xiaofei smiles at Yingzi, looking enviously at her.
Yingzi shakes her head and replies, "This time, you should reach out to him personally! I've already asked him for help three times before, and each time was fraught with danger. I can't bring myself to ask again this time."
"But I've never treated him well and have even found chances to tease him. I'm afraid he won't agree if I ask; I can't afford to lose face," Ye Xiaofei says as she lowers her head, still unable to let go of her pride.
As Sun Li approaches security check, she suddenly turns around and rushes towards Fei Hu, kissing him passionately in front of everyone. It feels like a heartbreaking farewell, leaving Fei Hu feeling somewhat sad as well.
After exiting the airport, Fei Hu takes a taxi straight to his newly rented apartment. He has come to realize that he shouldn't deprive himself so much; if he were to wake up one day and find it was too late, he would regret it for life. Within his means, he decides to enjoy what he can. Although he got injured during the incident related to the Dragon Tiger Gang, he received sixty or seventy thousand yuan in return—equivalent to three or four months' salary—which is worth it.
The apartment is a one-bedroom unit with a living room, bathroom, and kitchen—a standard small suite costing seven hundred fifty yuan per month. Although this is double what he used to pay for rent, it's much more convenient; no more waiting in line for showers or using the restroom.
The previous tenant had moved out after having a child and upgraded to a larger place, which is why this apartment is now available for rent. The place is fully equipped, and they even left behind an old color television for Fei Hu, which he finds quite satisfactory. After cleaning up and moving in his bedding from his old place, he can settle in by tonight.
As Fei Hu fills a basin with water and prepares to mop the floor, his phone suddenly rings. Not recognizing the number, he answers it and lowers his voice: "Hello! What’s up?"
"It's me, Ye Xiaofei. Where are you? I want to see you," comes the cold voice from the other end.
Fei Hu can't help but let out a cold laugh. If she wants to see him, then so be it; he's not going out today. After pausing for a moment, he replies, "Sorry! I just rented an apartment and am cleaning up right now. I don’t have time to meet you."
"You just need to tell me where you are, nothing else matters," Ye Xiaofei seemed a bit impatient.
"Hey! You're really coming? Then I'll tell you," Fei Hu paused for a moment and then gave Ye Xiaofei the name of his neighborhood and building number. She wouldn't come to a place like this, so after hanging up, Fei Hu got back to his own business.
About twenty minutes later, while Fei Hu was cleaning the bathroom, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He thought to himself, he hadn't even moved in yet, so who could be looking for him? Fei Hu put down what he was doing and opened the door, only to be stunned.
There stood Ye Xiaofei in a white sports shirt and white high-top sneakers, looking incredibly casual. Today she had tied her hair into a ponytail, which made her look both neat and playful. The zipper of her top was halfway down, revealing a yellow undershirt and two well-rounded curves. Fei Hu couldn't take his eyes off her chest.
"What are you staring at? Have you gotten itchy from not being scolded for two days?" Ye Xiaofei pushed past the standing Fei Hu and walked into the room. As she walked, she covered her nose with her hand, clearly disgusted by the place.
Fei Hu hurriedly said, "No need to go in; I'm still cleaning up. It's really dirty."
"What's wrong? Did the Head Nurse kick you out?" Ye Xiaofei glanced around before turning back to ask Fei Hu.
Fei Hu thought to himself, is this woman a bit strange? Why does she always want to see his mess? He replied somewhat unhappily, "She went to study in England. I didn't want to live in her place, so I moved out."
"Really! You have some spirit, huh? No wonder Yingzi said she offered you a rental apartment but you refused. How about this: you cancel this lease, and I'll have Yingzi find you a better one. Look at this place; cars can't even get through here," Ye Xiaofei said seriously after putting away her playful demeanor.
Fei Hu quickly replied, "No need; this place is fine. I can manage living alone anyway; it doesn't matter if cars can get through or not."
"Tch! Is that all you've got?" Ye Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Fei Hu and then took out her phone, walking around the room while giving instructions to someone on the other end.
Fei Hu wondered why Ye Xiaofei was here instead of working; did she have something going on?
"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? Wash up, put on some clothes, and come out with me. Give me your apartment key," Ye Xiaofei said after finishing her call and nudging the dazed Fei Hu.
"Ah, no way! Look, I've just tidied up half of it, and it's a mess like this. If you have something to say, just say it here," Fei Hu hurriedly waved his hand.
Ye Xiaofei completely ignored his protests, pulling Fei Hu to the bathroom and forcing him to wash his hands thoroughly. After that, she made him put on his clothes. Faced with the goddess in his heart, Fei Hu really had no choice but to obediently hand over the keys and follow Ye Xiaofei out of the community. He didn't understand what Ye Xiaofei's true intentions were; it didn't matter anyway since she had already eaten his food.
Ye Xiaofei drove to Lihua Grand Hotel. Fei Hu had heard that this place was specifically for receiving foreign guests, but he didn't know what Ye Xiaofei brought her here for. After getting out of the car, they took the elevator all the way to the 48th floor. The service staff at the entrance were all foreigners. After exchanging a few words with Ye Xiaofei, they led them to a room by the window. Sitting there, the people and cars below looked very small.
After a while, the server brought drinks. Ye Xiaofei picked up the menu on the table and asked Fei Hu to order a few dishes she liked. When Fei Hu took a look at it, he was shocked; it was all Western food, looking like it had just been picked from the ground and washed before being served. After staring at it for a while without finding anything appealing, he awkwardly handed the menu back to Ye Xiaofei. She smiled and said, "Then just order what I do!" After that, she whispered a couple of things to the server.
After admiring the view for a while, Fei Hu couldn't help but laugh and ask, "You're such a busy person; how do you have time to treat me to Western food? If there's something you need to say, just say it! You can't afford to waste your time."
Ye Xiaofei smiled but remained silent. She took a sip of her drink, then pulled out Fei Hu's room key and handed it to the server while speaking a few words in English. Once the server left, she closed the door with a somewhat mysterious demeanor.
"Is your injury completely healed now? Is there any impact?" Ye Xiaofei stared intently at Fei Hu's neck, asking with some disbelief.
Fei Hu turned his neck around in all directions and said, "Good as new; everything is normal. What’s a little injury? It's not like I got my head chopped off." Men always tend to boast in front of beautiful women.
Ye Xiaofei walked over and gently touched Fei Hu's neck before saying with relief, "As long as you feel fine, that's good. I have something I want to ask you for help with; I just don't know if you're willing to give me this favor."
"Hehe! I'm just a reckless guy; fighting is fine for me, but anything else is really not my strong suit. What do you need my help with?" Once Fei Hu heard that Ye Xiaofei needed his assistance, he realized this opportunity was rare and should be seized properly.
Ye Xiaofei glanced out the window and sighed deeply before saying, "You probably know a bit about our Dragon Tiger Gang's situation. My grandfather is getting old, and I've just returned from abroad; there are many things I can't manage. In three days, we have our Dragon Tiger Gang's anniversary meeting coming up, but there are still many things that haven't been sorted out. I want to ask if you could come help me out; I just don't know if you're willing?" Ye Xiaofei looked at him earnestly.
