Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 164 Yiyi

Su Yiyi poked her head out from under the covers, her face glowing with determination as she met Li Yifei’s gaze, and said, "Brother Li, I know what I’m doing. I admit I want to repay your kindness, but I’m not foolish. If Brother Li weren’t worth my affection, then even in an attempt to repay you, I wouldn’t choose this way. Being with Brother Li, I can feel that you are truly a good person, absolutely worth following for a lifetime."

Li Yifei looked at Su Yiyi’s pure face, gently stroked it twice, and said, "Yiyi, could we please give it some time? Don’t rush. Let me tell you a story first."

Su Yiyi knew Li Yifei must be about to share something about his past and immediately nodded vigorously.

Li Yifei’s gaze drifted toward the window, then he said in a deep voice, "As a child, I was quite mischievous. I barely managed to get into our Mile City’s Second High School. Since I barely made it in, I was also one of the last in my class which made me even less interested in studying. Not just teachers, even my parents didn’t hold out much hope for me. But there was a girl in class, she was the class leader and an excellent student; she kept trying to help me. At that time, I felt really annoyed, I was always resistant to her help, and we often clashed."

Turning his eyes back to Su Yiyi, Li Yifei continued, "But this girl was feisty and persistent. She was determined to improve my grades. After two years of this, my grades improved and so did our relationship. Back then, the school strictly forbade early romances, so we never dared let anyone know. Later on, we crossed a line and her parents found out, beat me up, and then she transferred schools."

"What happened later?" Su Yiyi asked tensely, watching Li Yifei.

"After high school, I enlisted in the military. Seven years passed, and we had no contact until a reunion a while back, and that’s when we met again."

"Ah? Then... did she get married?" There was a slight tremble in Su Yiyi’s body.

Li Yifei hugged Su Yiyi a bit more tightly and said, "No, she still thought of me. I hadn’t gotten involved in any romantic relationships over the years precisely because of her. When we met again, we were both very moved and wanted to pick up where we left off."

"Ah! Then... what about you and her..." Su Yiyi stumbled over her words, the happiness that had just arrived couldn’t possibly vanish because of Li Yifei’s first love, could it?

Li Yifei let out a sigh and said, "But I realized that there was still too much distance between us. Just at lunch today..."

Li Yifei recounted the events of the afternoon to Su Yiyi. After hearing them, she said somewhat indignantly, "Xiaoyao is really clueless. How could she do such a thing?"

Li Yifei laughed softly and replied, "If it weren’t for Xiaoyao, I certainly wouldn’t have broken up with her."

Su Yiyi bit her lip and said softly, "Brother Li, I can actually feel that sister really likes you. That’s why she got so upset over this. You should explain to her."

"If I explain, what about you?"

"I... I... I would rather not be your girlfriend. As long as Brother Li feels lonely or in a bad mood, you can come to me."

"Silly girl." Li Yifei kissed Su Yiyi’s forehead and said, "Yiyi, the misunderstanding isn’t the point. The point is that we don’t truly understand each other right now, we don’t fully trust each other, and our lifestyles are too different. A moment of affection can’t sustain us for a lifetime, so breaking up is actually the best outcome for us."

Su Yiyi uttered an "Oh," still expressing regret, "Your romantic journey has been so long, it should have had a happy ending. It’s such a pity it turned out this way."

Facing Su Yiyi’s kindness, Li Yifei didn’t know what to say. Normally, if a girl found out her boyfriend still had feelings for an ex, she might not go as far as sabotage, but at least she wouldn’t be feeling regret.

But Li Yifei also understood that Su Yiyi truly did like him, it was just that her nature was so kind, she couldn’t bear to see anything less than perfect.

"I’m telling you this to let you know that dating is one thing, marriage is quite another."

"I understand, Brother Li. I’m not in a hurry anymore. I will wait until you truly want to marry me, then I’ll let you."

Li Yifei pinched Su Yiyi’s nose and chuckled, "You’re really smart. Also, I know you’re a pure girl, and I don’t want to ruin that purity before we’re sure we can get married."

Su Yiyi was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "Brother Li, I... I..."

"Hehe, so don’t tempt me, okay? Men are creatures of their lower half; if I can’t resist and ’eat’ you in a moment of weakness, you’ll be too late to regret it."

Su Yiyi said awkwardly, "I wasn’t trying to tempt you, and... and I wouldn’t regret it."

Li Yifei chuckled softly, "Also, that kind of thing should happen naturally when the feelings are deep enough. I hope one day my Little Yiyi will be passionate and take the initiative, wanting me without mixed feelings, including gratitude or anything like that."

Su Yiyi nodded vigorously, "Brother Li, I understand. You really are a good man. I feel so blessed to be with you. Being with you is the greatest happiness of my life."

The two embraced, said nothing more, no further actions were taken, and soon both fell asleep.

The next morning, when Li Yifei awoke, they were still in the same position as when they had fallen asleep last night. He saw Su Yiyi’s bright, sparkling eyes, and as soon as he opened his own, Su Yiyi quickly closed hers. Li Yifei immediately said with a laugh, "Stop pretending to be asleep."

Su Yiyi opened her eyes, her face red, and said, "Good morning, Brother Li." Then she leaned over and gently kissed Li Yifei on the cheek.

"Good morning to you too." Li Yifei returned the gesture with a kiss on Su Yiyi’s tender cheek.

"I’ll go to the bathroom first." Having said that, Li Yifei lifted the blanket and got out of bed. But as he lifted the blanket, he couldn’t help catching a glimpse of Su Yiyi’s bare upper body and panties, a sight so tempting that he quickly pulled the blanket over Su Yiyi to cover her up.

In the bathroom, Li Yifei let out water, thinking of Su Yiyi’s body and couldn’t help but scoff at himself for not ’eating’ the beautiful girl right there, especially since she was now his girlfriend. However, due to Ye Yunzhu’s matter, Li Yifei still had his reservations. Since he had to deal with feelings, he had to be serious and not as casual as before. This was being responsible for Su Yiyi and also to avoid getting hurt like with Ye Yunzhu.

Back in the bedroom, Su Yiyi had not yet risen. Her soft, affectionate eyes were fixed on Li Yifei.

Li Yifei sat down at the edge of the bed and smiled, "Today’s a weekend, a rare break. I’m thinking of catching a few more Z’s."

Su Yiyi immediately said, "That sounds good." She lifted her arm to pull back the blanket, but suddenly, she put her arm back down.

Li Yifei burst into laughter, "You’ve been seen before, no need to cover up." Then he flipped the blanket open and slipped under it.

It was already May, and the daytime temperatures were high, but it was still cool at night and in the morning, so it was quite comfortable under a thin blanket.

As soon as Li Yifei lay down, Su Yiyi snuggled up to him, pulled Li Yifei’s arm, and placed it under her neck as a pillow. She had become quite adept at this gesture, especially since last night when she and Li Yifei had confirmed their relationship, which made her entrust her heart to him even more.

This was one of Li Yifei’s main principles in life. Su Yiyi and He Fangqing were different; with He Fangqing, Li Yifei would never consider marriage, so he could do whatever he wanted without feeling any burden.

Li Yifei was not an impulsive kid but a very rational person. Having gone through so much, his understanding of relationships was quite different from that of others. While most people first desire possession, Li Yifei would not seek to possess Su Yiyi unless he was certain that the feelings could prompt him to the kind of urge to marry her.
