Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2183 - 2247: Why Not Feel Joy Upon Meeting the Gentleman

Chapter 2183: Chapter 2247: Why Not Feel Joy Upon Meeting the Gentleman

"I see you as a friend, but you want to sleep with me!" Wu Shuwei interjected, "It’s more like I should be saying that to you. Can you really say you’ve never thought about it?"

"I have, but thinking and doing are different. If we’re talking about opportunities, we’ve known each other for so long that I should have had plenty of chances, right? Not to mention, when you were unconscious, I could have taken advantage, touched you, or even ogled you, and you wouldn’t have known when you woke up." Seeing Wu Shuwei’s expression change, Li Yifei quickly explained, "But I didn’t do any of that, did I? It’s just like the many scantily clad women on the street; they dare to wear it, I dare to look. Does that mean that just because I glance at them, they can accuse me of assault? That wouldn’t be right. Besides, I didn’t even look at you..."

"Are you trying to say that you really have no interest in me, not even the desire to look?" Wu Shuwei’s voice turned cold, and her words slowed down.

Li Yifei quickly shut his mouth, realizing he had just spoken too rashly. How could he say right in front of a beautiful woman that he wasn’t interested in her? Regardless of her personality or attitude toward relationships, saying that would be the ultimate insult.

So he quickly remedied, "That’s not what I meant. I meant to say... let’s put it this way: although I fancy women and have many of them and can satisfy them, which proves my prowess, but towards you, we’ve known each other for so long, have I ever done anything inappropriate to you?"

"In the underground river, you enjoyed kissing, didn’t you?" Wu Shuwei said faintly.

"That... wasn’t that to save you? I can stay underwater for an hour, can you?" Li Yifei immediately said.

"Who gave me water when I had heatstroke and was unconscious?"

"You were unconscious and dehydrated; couldn’t I give you water?"

Wu Shuwei was about to argue but suddenly seemed deflated, as if her whole body shrank a little, and said, "Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you."

"We’re not fighting, just having a conversation that naturally flowed to this topic. I still think having a female friend is not easy, so I cherish it dearly." Li Yifei slapped his thigh and said.

Wu Shuwei pursed her lips and began to daydream. She let Li Yifei talk until his mouth was dry, and then she faintly said, "Once I’ve seen you, why not feel joy?"

Li Yifei acted as if he didn’t hear it clearly and asked, "What?"

Wu Shuwei glanced at him, appearing somewhat absent-minded. In fact, Li Yifei had heard it clearly and knew the line’s origin; it came from the "Book of Poetry," implying that once you’ve seen the person you like, what’s there to be unhappy about? However, in modern usage, it often means now that I’ve met you, I can’t like anyone else.

Li Yifei swallowed, feeling his mouth suddenly dry. It’s not that he didn’t dare to think in that direction; it’s just... he had promised his wives not to flirt with other women anymore. Moreover, he kept emphasizing that he hoped Wu Shuwei would be a good female friend.

Talking about her beauty, Li Yifei nodded many times. Wu Shuwei was indeed very beautiful, extremely beautiful, and charming. Her allure wasn’t just in her looks; she was equally outstanding at work with a very strong family background. If everything went smoothly, her father might even reach the level of a committee member, a very rare status in a country of over a billion people.

With all these halos, the key is that she’s still very pure. Yes, pure, even a bit single-minded, sticking to what she’s set on, which is something Li Yifei appreciates, albeit with a bit of a silly naivety.

Is she... hinting or outright expressing something to me? Li Yifei blinked, pondering.

Thinking about it, Li Yifei bared his teeth and said, "I’m nothing special, and quite a playboy at that. You’re so good, you should find a man who’s devoted, lest you get disillusioned with marriage and love, don’t you think?"

Li Yifei’s voice grew quieter, to the point of disappearing. After a while with no response from Wu Shuwei, he couldn’t help but glance at her. He found Wu Shuwei looking at him with a strange gaze.

"You wouldn’t think that I’ve fallen for you, would you?" Wu Shuwei said very slowly.

Li Yifei pointed to his nose and said, "Isn’t it so?"

Wu Shuwei snorted, her eyes drifting elsewhere with a look of disdain, "How could that be? You must have a pretty big face to think I’d fall for you. Besides, you yourself admitted to being a playboy, what’s there to like about you? You have so many women in your life, if each wanted you once a night, it would take half a month per round, could your body handle that?"

"I really..." Being doubted about his manhood, Li Yifei immediately felt indignant, but since he had already stood up, he couldn’t just jump to show assertiveness, so he snorted through his nose and said, "Let’s not talk about the rest, rest assured concerning my physical abilities; I can conquer them all in one night without issue."

Wu Shuwei looked him up and down, still curling her lip, "Words alone aren’t proof."

"Want to give it a try?" Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei chuckled, "I don’t even like you, what’s there to try?" At these words, an image suddenly flashed through Wu Shuwei’s mind, of Li Yifei meditating while healing...

"Forget it, this conversation fell apart. Originally, I wanted to advise you to enjoy a normal life, but now we ended up discussing my abilities!" Li Yifei plopped down on his seat, grumbling.

Wu Shuwei’s face was beaming with a smile, looking like she had won this verbal spar. Once Li Yifei fell silent, she then softly said, "It’s nothing really, adults chatting about this subject is quite normal. Didn’t you wish I’d have a boyfriend and some semblance of X-life? What’s wrong with that?"

"Let’s not talk about it anymore, lest you accuse me of flirting and think I’m not a decent person." Li Yifei waved his hand, turned his back to Wu Shuwei.

Wu Shuwei laughed even more pleasantly, after getting enough laughter, she tapped Li Yifei’s back with her foot and said, "Don’t be like that, turned your back and all."

Seeing Li Yifei ignoring her, she kicked a few more times. When he remained motionless, she gritted her teeth and placed both feet on him, kicking a few times until Li Yifei hummed a few times and said, "Not bad, the strength is nice, adding a bit more would make it perfect."

"Thump thump thump." Wu Shuwei kicked several more times until her own legs got tired, only stopping then. Li Yifei hummed with satisfaction, saying, "Quite comfortable, very relaxing!"

"Consider it a thank you for saving my life." Wu Shuwei said.

Li Yifei wasn’t one to get mad over such little things; otherwise, he’d be having a fit every day. To him, this bantering was quite amusing. Having known Wu Shuwei for a long time, they had never had a conversation like this, seemingly chaotic yet a sign that their relationship was evolving.

After a moment of silence, Li Yifei asked, "Do you really want to hear this kind of topic?"

Wu Shuwei withdrew her feet, smoothed her hair, and said, "Say it if you want, I’m not curious."

"Alright, then I’ll... say it." Li Yifei grinned mischievously. Wu Shuwei immediately glared at him. After some thought, Li Yifei said, "Actually, it’s nothing. We learned in middle school health class, and traditionally in Chinese medicine, or from the Yin Yang Philosophy, men are Yang, women are Yin. Naturally, because of physical composition differences, it can lead to a harmonious Yin and Yang Integration, if done properly, can even achieve Yin Yang complementarity, perfect for both bodies."

"Books only talk about absorbing Yin to replenish Yang, and how some die exhausted from overindulgence..." Wu Shuwei said.

"That’s an imbalance in Yin and Yang. For instance, with me and my wives, because of my training, I’m much stronger, so if I wanted, I could absorb Yin to strengthen Yang, to enhance myself. But I can’t do that, because I love them and want them to become better, not just physically, but spiritually and in other ways. So during those times, I give back to them, and it doesn’t even feel like much of a loss or fatigue for me. They benefit, feeling healthier and more spirited the next day. This is one of the benefits. From a modern medical perspective, let’s say, intercourse can stimulate various hormones, increasing secretion that makes the body healthier."

Wu Shuwei listened as if she didn’t care, but in reality, she was paying close attention. These insights... seemed different from the textbooks, considering Li Yifei had another identity.

"Then what about someone like me, without any?" Wu Shuwei asked.

"I think you’d age faster, but there’s also a saying that if someone never loses their Primordial Yin, they might live longer. But when one reaches old age, who cares about longevity if they can’t enjoy it? I think that while young, during the most beautiful age, it’s better to relive it to the fullest so there’s something to remember when old. You should know that the average person only lives a few decades; the best age is from twenty to thirty-something, after which the body starts declining."

"Forget it, I don’t want to listen. I just feel like you’re continually implying something tonight!" Wu Shuwei said with a curl of her lips.

"Implying what? Haha, my starting point is very good!" Li Yifei laughed happily. They had talked more in the past few days than in many previous conversations put together.

Of course, adult thoughts are different. Li Yifei found talking about sex between men and women nothing odd, but with Wu Shuwei, it felt strange, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint how or why.

As the conversation reached its end, an unexpected silence fell between them, making it unclear how to continue. The grass hut turned silent as well; they could hear each other’s breathing, even the beat of their hearts.
