My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 204 - 188: Staying in the Dorm?

Throughout these years of campus life, Li has basically been surrounded by many flowers, but few girls have left a deep impression on him—those can be counted on two hands, and He Yimeng is one of them.

Their encounter was quite dramatic too.

As the belle of the School of Psychology at Beihua University and the president of the campus's Emotional Study Society, He Yimeng often held free love lectures and emotional exchange meetings, mainly aimed at girls, while boys had another male vice-president from the psychology department lecturing them.

Li Peifeng didn't know how the latter was doing, but he heard about He Yimeng's lectures from some female friends.

"Sisters, always remember this—living with a 'love brain' leads to a lifetime of misfortune, spending money on men causes misfortune for three lifetimes. The more you try to please him, the more you devalue yourself, while he continues to increase his value in the process."

"I know men too well. Once they achieve success, they start to float, and when they float, they start picking and choosing. Why do they strive to improve themselves? It is so they can be fickle. All that talk of cultivating potential together, sharing joys and sorrows, ultimately ends up in vain. Please, be more realistic and clear-headed."

"Effort won't win a man's heart; only strategies and tactics work."

"Don't let men guess your thoughts. If you answer every single call and every date of his, eventually he will find you no challenge and become complacent. If you never agree, he'll give up outright. Only by 'sometimes agreeing' will you make him want you forever. Remember, this trick works anytime; it's called the intermittent reinforcement effect, highlight it and jot it down."

"Despicable? This isn't despicable. Love, in essence, is a hunt, a mutual process of taming one another. Either you tame him, or he tames you."

"Love is just a genetic illusion; the attraction between the sexes is merely a chemical reaction. How shall I explain this truth to you emotional women?"

Just from the words of others, Li Peifeng was intrigued by He Yimeng, and she reminded him of a certain profession; a female lecturer adept at getting men to spend money on her, with deep insights into human nature!

Is there such a master at Beihua University?

He must meet her!

Li Peifeng approached her with an attitude of exchange, not expecting anything to actually happen between them.

After all, women are natural experts at psychological manipulation, and He Yimeng studies psychology, so he felt he might not gain any advantage—just making a friend and gaining knowledge.

Unexpectedly, the falling flowers have no intention, but the flowing water does—Li Peifeng hadn't intended to do anything, but He Yimeng was somewhat interested in sleeping with him.

Flirting, push and pull, dating, sharing ideas, sleeping together…everything followed naturally.

The two maintained a tacit relationship for three weeks and then went on their separate ways; although they occasionally kept in touch afterwards, it was not close...

At this moment, during a casual conversation with her, Li Peifeng didn't expect He Yimeng to actually invite him to dinner.

"...Forget it."

He Yimeng looked slightly surprised: "What's been up with you lately? Quiet for a while, no new or old affairs, even rejecting my invitation. Could it be you're really with those two lesbians together?!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"No."

Li Peifeng thought even if they were together it was nearly over, and calmly said, "Improvise as circumstances change. I just feel that continuing as before isn't quite right and want to change."

He Yimeng's lips curled, as if she were smiling: "Where are you going?"

"To the graduate dormitory to borrow a classmate's computer."

"Let's go together, I'm heading to the cafeteria, it's on the way." He Yimeng shook the black umbrella in her hand: "It's big enough to cover you too."

Li Peifeng looked at the heavy rain outside, hesitated, and said: "Better not, it feels ambiguous."

He dared not make any moves at this time. If he were to be seen sharing an umbrella with He Yimeng around the campus, it would be a complete disaster if the other three encountered it.

But He Yimeng stared at him as if seeing Li Peifeng for the first time, tilting her head and observing for a while, murmuring: "When did you start coming ashore? Can't be, your clothes are still wet, why suddenly become so upright?"

"You carry on." Li Peifeng gestured as if to turn away: "I'm leaving first."

"Leave for what? With such heavy rain, are you going to cover your head without an umbrella?"

He Yimeng tugged at his shirt corner, handed over the umbrella, and laughed: "You can borrow the umbrella; just return it when you have time."

"What about you?"

"I came with classmates." He Yimeng pointed to a few female classmates behind her, saying: "They all have umbrellas, I'm fine with them."

This way, the underwear won't have to get wet a second time.

Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly thanking her after taking the umbrella.

He Yimeng waved off the courtesy, then stepped forward half a step, leaning closer to gaze at him: "Do you still remember why I didn't want to be with you even after sleeping together back then?"

Li Peifeng really had forgotten, wildly guessing: "Because you instantly saw through my womanizing, fickle, flirtatious, irresponsible nature?"

"Quite comprehensive summary." He Yimeng smiled: "Simply put, you didn't match up."

"Oh right, I didn't measure up."

Li Peifeng nodded repeatedly, his gaze indicating clearly; Do you have anything else to say?

"Come closer."

He Yimeng beckoned with a finger, and given the gesture of the rain umbrella, Li moved his ear slightly closer to her lips; a second later, he felt her floral breath and heard the softly spoken sentence...

"But now you measure up."

Upon saying that, He Yimeng gracefully turned and left.

Watching her retreating back, Li Peifeng twitched his lips: "I measure up? Should I measure a few moves for you? Want me to measure a fifth one?"

"Swoosh~"

The door swung open, and instinctively turning his head, Li Peifeng saw Xu Manning holding an umbrella, her expression as gloomy as the rainy day: "Move aside!"

Could she have seen that scene just now?

Li Peifeng's mind flashed lightning-like thoughts, a notion popped up again; could it be that He Yimeng noticed Xu Manning at the library entrance and intentionally made me lean over to her ear?

Damn!!

Truly, when it rains it pours, and when the ship is slow it encounters headwinds.

In the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but Miss Xu is already angry, and now she's further agitated.

Li Peifeng had no time to curse He Yimeng, that wicked woman, and had to pretend calmness and smile: "Manning...long time no see!"

Long 'time no see' indeed!

Xu Manning looked as though she hadn't seen him, not giving way, simply entering through another side door, with Li Peifeng following suit, trying to make small talk.

"Didn't you go to work today?"

"I contacted the chef, they will come to our place at three in the afternoon to cook, is Huang Tianxuan still coming?"

"Is Wenyue in the studio, why haven't you replied to my messages?"

Miss Xu simply ignored him.

After all, it is a library, and all the students are quietly studying. Li Peifeng knew not to continue pestering, and afraid of making her more upset, he stated a few things to himself before leaving.

...

Beihua University Graduate Dormitory, male dormitory 506.

Shen Liao was having lunch and chatting with a few dorm mates, the room door left open, so Li Peifeng came straight in.

"I finished with the computer, thanks."

"Did you snoop around my browser history?"

Shen Liao took the computer, looking quite wary.

"Who wants to see that sewer filth of yours."

Li Peifeng casually replied, observing the dormitory's environment, which seemed not bad. A four-person dorm with a bed-and-table format, perhaps because they liked cleanliness, there wasn't much odor inside. There was air-conditioning and heating. Of course, compared to his apartment it couldn't compete, but it was already decent enough, and importantly, there was an empty bed available in 506.

A vacant spot, could it be reserved for me?

Li Peifeng asked seriously: "How much does the dorm cost?"

"Nine hundred a year, why?" Shen Liao grinned with an oily mouth: "Don't tell me this platinum writer plans to stay with us in the dorm?"

Looking at the empty bed, Li Peifeng sighed: "It's not impossible."
