My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 149 - 143: Calamity Strikes

Wu Wenyue picked up the kitchen knife purely to scare people. After Li Peifeng admitted his mistake and yielded, she returned it to the kitchen.

But during the meal, the two girls didn't stop criticizing Mr. Li.

"DIY? You just defiled another word, and overnight DIY? Aren't you disgusting?!"

"Truly sleazy, is your brain always filled with that? Watching videos while…eww!!"

Li Peifeng was terribly annoyed: "You all act so above it, is it that big of a deal? Have you never done it yourselves?"

"It's not about the size of the issue!" Xu Manning's cheeks flushed with anger, but she was a bit concerned: "The point is, it's only been a few days and you can't hold on? Is there something wrong with you?"

"I can't hold it, seeing your beautiful faces I can't take it."

Li Peifeng straightforwardly stretched out his legs, taking advantage of their length, placing one on Xu Manning's lap and the other on Wu Wenyue's…

"Let me ask you a sincere question, can you eat cold food now?"

"No way, buzz off!"

Wu Wenyue stood up, moved the chair aside, full of disdain: "Dirty dog, do it yourself!"

"I was forced with no choice."

Li Peifeng sighed theatrically, "If you two were up for it, why would I do it myself? To be honest, I'd love if your eloquent tongues could swallow my billion troops, but Manning just won't…"

Wu Wenyue's expression changed: "Get lost, I wouldn't either!"

"No matter what, you can't do it yourself! I'll get you an iron underwear someday, you unruly man with no virtue!"

Xu Manning was ruthless, which made Wu Wenyue's eyes light up: "Do they actually sell that? Let's buy it and lock it up!"

"Stop messing around, I have to say, you two are coincidental, how come these things align so perfectly, so during those few days every month, do I have to stay all alone?"

"Yeah, it's such a nuisance that we can't satisfy you."

Wu Wenyue's eyes glimmered with a cold light, her tone slightly lifted: "Do you need us to find someone else to take turns on shift for you?"

Xu Manning held her bowl, looked at Mr. Li, curling her lips into a smirk: "It's very easy to find, just nod and, without saying much, I can immediately get you three or four beauties."

Li Peifeng blinked: "First of all, I'm not interested in ordinary beauties; they must be of high enough looks. Even if I can accept it, you wouldn't like it either. I am thinking of your welfare..."

Wu Wenyue said coldly: "Get him that iron brief immediately, the largest size!"

Xu Manning, holding her phone with a serious face: "No need to rush, I'm already ordering it!"

...

While joking around, the three had breakfast and went to school together.

As usual, the two girls went ahead, and Li Peifeng walked downstairs a little later, staying about 200 meters behind them to avoid drawing too much attention by walking together.

Though he didn't have classes this morning, he had to go with Wu Wenyue to the Entrepreneurship Guidance Center to find a teacher for guidance, settle the paperwork for the self-media studio, and decide on the location for the studio's office. In the afternoon, they'd recruit staff and purchase office supplies. Getting the studio set up, then they could start shooting videos and officially operate.

But for all this, Xu Manning was destined not to help; after her morning class, she'd have to go back to the company for overtime on a project, but…

"Xiaofeng, Manning transferred me three hundred thousand yesterday night."

Wu Wenyue watched Xu Manning walk into the teaching building and walked with Li Peifeng, speaking a bit worriedly: "It makes me feel like I'm living off a woman, like I'm being kept."

"It's okay."

Li Peifeng reassured, "Work hard to earn money, when you have money, you can reverse it and be the one keeping her."

"What about you? Your half a million is still in my card."

Wu Wenyue raised an eyebrow, seemingly very confident: "When the time comes, I'll keep both of you, make both of you live off me!"

Seeing her speaking so earnestly, Li Peifeng felt a little afraid. He still has mild post-traumatic stress disorder regarding words like being kept or living off a woman.

Ever since becoming the official system host, the system has quieted down a lot, with friendly tasks. Li Peifeng didn't have to worry about being unable to live off someone or failing a task and starving, but with Wu Wenyue constantly bringing it up, memories of past hardships came rushing back to him.

The days he bowed down, humbled himself to have women spend money on him to complete tasks and survive, were all gone! He doesn't want to go through that again!

And if he were to live off someone, where would be the courage to expand the resistance? That wouldn't be…

"Ridiculous!"

Li Peifeng shook his head repeatedly: "As a man with hands and feet, how could I rely on you? Peifeng has never been inferior to anyone, always worked hard himself, and I only like hard meals, no soft meals! Not even a sniff, not even for dogs!"

[Detections of the host's machismo thoughts, issuing an emergency task to correct the host's perspective...]

Just as Li Peifeng finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar dialog box popped up in front of him, with that cold, unfeeling voice ringing in his mind, his heart plunging into an abyss.

System, so you're not dead, huh?

[Task Name: Please Keep Me.]

["I'll keep you," embodies boundless courage and a responsibility as heavy as Mount Tai, symbolizing sincere and great feelings. This doesn't merely mean providing financial support or indulgence, but also offering meticulous care in life, and long-lasting spiritual companionship and support, hoping that "you" will transform into a better version of yourself, leading a better life.]

["I'll keep you," signifies "I" willing to share weal and woe, standing by "you" even if the world abandons "you"; even if "I" only have one steamed bun left, "I" am willing to share half with "you." This is not about showing off, nor is it about insult or discrimination. It's an attitude! But why is this sentence mostly spoken by boys to girls, and not vice versa? Even if girls say it, boys seem ashamed to agree? This is due to the gender stereotypes long held by society creating a disparity in thought between genders, which is the root of gender injustice!]

[Task Description: Within three months, the host needs to have five women, unrelated by blood, to willingly and sincerely say "I'll keep you" or express a similar meaning.]

[Task Reward: Two lottery chances.]

[Failure Penalty: Randomly revoke a reward the host has already obtained.]

Calamity struck, calamity struck!

I just had a few happy days and now you come to wreck it?

At this moment, Li Peifeng felt helpless as if he were a 200-pound child, denying it madly in his heart, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion! Impossible, it's impossible!!

"Xiaofeng? Why aren't you moving?"

Wu Wenyue stopped, looked back at the dazed Li Peifeng in confusion. "What's up with you? If you're too tired, go back and rest. I can handle it by myself…"

Li Peifeng snapped back to reality, ignoring the task box in front of him, glanced at Wu Wenyue, and tried to smile: "I just suddenly thought, maybe there's nothing wrong with being kept or living off someone soft, Wenyue, what did you just say again?"

"I saw you standing still, so I asked what's wrong with you."

"No, no, the sentence before that."

"Why aren't you moving…"

"Further up!"

Wu Wenyue frowned, uncertain: "I'll keep you?"

"Yes, but can you drop the 'you all' part?" Li Peifeng's expression was expectant.

"Have some shame."

Wu Wenyue said with a playful smirk: "I tossed you a dream, and you want my life? You think I can support you with my head?!"
