Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2441 - 2505: From Friends to Lovers

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Li Yifei forgot to unlock the door, so he ended up ’pushing it open’ forcefully."This..." Li Yifei’s face showed embarrassment, and he wasn’t sure what to say. The door was broken, but more crucially, inside the bedroom was Aoki Reiko... She was standing on the floor wearing only her underwear, with her back to the door, bending over to pick up the pants that Li Yifei had torn. In that instant, Li Yifei saw a perfect round shape, very beautiful and captivating.

"You!" Aoki Reiko didn’t want to stay here any longer; she planned to get dressed since she couldn’t leave like this. However, Li Yifei pushed open the door so forcefully that he barged in, with Aoki Reiko completely exposed, leaving her feeling both ashamed and angry.

Li Yifei, grasping the door edge awkwardly, said, "I heard banging noises against the wall, so I came to check. I... didn’t mean for this to happen."

"Li Yifei, you... shameless!" Aoki Reiko shouted loudly, throwing down the already torn pants in her hand, and she charged at Li Yifei barefoot, pounding her fists like raindrops on his chest, shoulders, and arms.

Pounding sounds echoed, Li Yifei didn’t dodge, letting Aoki Reiko hit him until she ran out of breath. When she finally stopped to catch her breath, Li Yifei held Aoki Reiko’s hand gently, rubbing it lightly while asking, "Does it hurt?"

"You’re... too much!" Aoki Reiko realized that her waist was being held. She had little strength left after her wild beating and found herself unable to break free.

"Reiko, I’ve decided, I want you to be with me!" Li Yifei declared.

Aoki Reiko was stunned for three seconds, then stomped hard on Li Yifei’s foot and said, "You want to be with me, but I don’t want to be with you, you liar, a cosmic liar worse than the monsters Ultraman defeated. Why should I be with you!"

"Because you like me, and I like you too; I’ve been suppressing my feelings."

"Pff, I like Mu Fei, not you, Li Yifei. From looks to voice, you’re nothing like him!" Aoki Reiko exclaimed excitedly.

Li Yifei, holding one of Aoki Reiko’s hands, pulled her into his arms and said, "We’re the same person. Before, I had too many concerns; I admit it was my fault. Now, please give me a chance to make up for the lost time and compensate you!"

"Do you think I’ll care about your compensation? Li Yifei, don’t be so self-righteous, let me go, or I’ll ask my dad to deal with you!" Aoki Reiko’s face flushed red, unsure whether it was from exertion, not catching her breath, or from being so close to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "That won’t work. We’ve already missed some time, and now we can’t miss anymore. So, Reiko, I formally apologize, I was wrong, please give me a chance to make amends for those mistakes."

Aoki Reiko stayed still, looked up at Li Yifei, gritting her teeth, and after a long time asked, "Are you serious?"

"I am serious, very serious. I didn’t dare reveal the truth before because I felt inferior. My love life is already chaotic, and involving someone as pure as you is truly unfair. So I maintained this identity. But these days, seeing your pain, shedding so many tears because of Mu Fei, it broke my heart. Only recently did I confirm my feelings for you." Taking the plunge, Li Yifei looked into Aoki Reiko’s eyes and continued, "So I’m sure I like you, Reiko. I know I can’t give you complete affection, but I can promise to treat you equally well; you all are my... ouch!"

Just halfway through his words, Li Yifei felt a sharp pain below his waist. Aoki Reiko had suddenly kneed him in a sensitive spot, catching him completely off guard. He had no time to react or protect himself, and the swift and fierce strike caused him to sink to the ground.

"You... killed me with pain!" Li Yifei clutched a certain area, extremely painful, kneeling on the ground with his facial features twisted in agony.

Aoki Reiko, skeptic, initially ignored him, but seeing Li Yifei’s continued painful display, she started to panic and asked in confusion, "Is it... really that painful?"

"It’s painful, extremely painful! That’s a man’s lifeline, the most vulnerable spot. Your bump... might have broken my egg."

"Egg?"

"****!" Li Yifei replied.

Aoki Reiko’s lips parted in surprise, not expecting it to be that serious. She quickly squatted down; she initially aimed to punish Li Yifei but not to cause actual harm. Seeing his suffering, she regretted her impulsiveness, fearing she might have caused lasting damage and become a wrongdoer.

Realizing this, Aoki Reiko hurriedly asked, "What should we do? I didn’t mean to do it!"

It was indeed painful but not as severe as he made it seem. Li Yifei could use True Qi to relieve it, although Aoki Reiko’s knee strike had been quite fierce. With a long sigh, Li Yifei said, "That area is hard for you to help massage, but..."

"I won’t help you massage!" Aoki Reiko shook her head instantly.

"I don’t need you to come, I can do it myself, but I have a request." Li Yifei said, slightly straightening his body. Aoki Reiko instinctively retreated a bit, but her body was held tight by Li Yifei. With a strong grip, he pulled Aoki Reiko close, and before she could ask what the request was, Li Yifei leaned in, planting his lips on Aoki Reiko’s. She felt as if struck by lightning, her body instantly stiffened, her eyes wide open in shock and unpreparedness.

He’s... he’s kissing me! Aoki Reiko forgot to breathe, feeling stiff, like a fish out of water, lacking a sense of safety, as if her brain was suffocating.

This kiss, Li Yifei didn’t rush to attack but waited for Aoki Reiko to adjust, and once her body was less tense, he began to showcase true kissing skills.

Aoki Reiko felt like a little boat amidst stormy waves, the ordeal and torment of the past few days were now gone. The man in front of her, kissing her, had such lively and handsome eyes, she felt she could never grow tired of them.

His movements were gentle, not suffocating, and Aoki Reiko seemed to forget those unpleasant memories, forget many things.

In front of her was Li Yifei’s face, but occasionally Mu Fei Jun’s face would appear, the two faces merging into one, finally becoming Li Yifei’s face.

It was him, it had been him all along. She had realized it, why hadn’t she insisted on asking more? Speaking of whether Aoki Reiko blamed Li Yifei, of course, she did, but... blaming was useless. Even if she struggled and left just now, would she truly let go in the future?

Love and hate are just a thought away. Being deceived for so long, Aoki Reiko could hate Li Yifei, but she didn’t want to do that. Clearly, they could be together, so why hate him... In such a gentle kiss, Aoki Reiko thought about many things, so she held Li Yifei’s hand, her other hand clutching his clothes.

Things like passionate kisses are deeply ingrained in human genes, regardless of race, man or woman, it’s natural. Aoki Reiko began to counterattack, turning around and kissing Li Yifei’s lips, launching a counterattack.

"Whew!" After a lengthy kiss, Li Yifei released Aoki Reiko, who was now lying in his arms, their eyes meeting. Aoki Reiko frowned slightly, with a nasal tone, asked, "What should I call you from now on?"

"Call me whatever you like. But my favorite titles are ’husband’ or ’darling’!" Li Yifei replied earnestly.

Aoki Reiko rolled her eyes at him and said, "Keep dreaming. I just... I just agreed to spend some time with you, nothing more, don’t even think about calling each other husband and wife."

"Haha, then no rush, take it slow." Li Yifei laughed.

Aoki Reiko responded with a hum, not knowing if she was replying to Li Yifei or thinking of other things. She continued to gaze into Li Yifei’s eyes—once she merged Mu Fei Jun and Li Yifei into one person, his eyes were truly beautiful, never tiring of looking at them, even for a lifetime.

Aoki Reiko had never chased stars, but it seemed now she was, chasing the star of her eyes, Li Yifei.

"Are you hungry?" Li Yifei asked.

"A little." Aoki Reiko replied.

There wasn’t much she needed to ask Li Yifei, because as a friend, she knew many things about him. As for Mu Fei... that was always a false identity; there wouldn’t be Mu Fei Jun anymore, so asking was unnecessary.

Li Yifei didn’t understand Aoki Reiko’s inner thoughts. Regarding her change in attitude, Li Yifei felt good; at least for now, they seemed to be accepting each other.

Transitioning from friends to lovers is indeed a big change. Hmm, now they should count as lovers, Li Yifei thought.

Feeling hungry, it was time to eat, Li Yifei suggested, but Aoki Reiko shook her head, saying, "I don’t want to eat."

"Then want a drink? I’ll get it from the fridge." Li Yifei offered.

Aoki Reiko smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "I don’t want to drink either."

"Then..."

Aoki Reiko propped herself up, sat down, and kissed Li Yifei’s face. She didn’t want food or drink; she just wanted another kiss, and felt perfectly content afterward.

For such a request, Li Yifei surely wanted to fulfill it, not letting her down.
