I am the king of hard rice

Ningyuan City, the home of Jinyou.

After Li Qiyuan hung up the phone, he sat quietly for a while, then walked up to the attic with a heavy heart,

Although the new home has basically been renovated, considering the residual formaldehyde, the couple did not move in, but still lived in the old house.

"Da Da~"

Yu Huizhi, who was painting, turned her head subconsciously when she heard footsteps, and said with a smile, "Husband, come and take a look, does my painting look like it?"

There are two drawing boards in front of Yu Huizhi, the closest one is the one she is painting on, and the one farther away is the watercolor painting that Li Peifeng created during the Chinese New Year.

The starry sky in the dark night is magical and magnificent, and the dazzling colors make people feel immersive.

And under the starry sky is the port of Dakhla, the lighthouse is dim, giant ships, lonely boats, and fishing lights are faintly visible.The dark sea is surging, and the turbulent waves beat against the rocks of Gaoyue Mountain, and the waves splashed almost over the top of the mountain. It has not stopped for thousands of years, and it is still rolling and powerful.

Lonely, cold, with a little daunting mystery.

If you only look at the upper part of the painting, you can only let the viewer sigh with sadness, just as the saying goes; but the infiniteness of the world, mourning the long work of life, or, sending a mayfly to the world, is a drop in the vast ocean.

And look at the very center of the painting, located on the top of Gaoyue Mountain, four women and one man are sitting or hugging each other, cuddling together in different postures, looking at the sky.Their silhouettes are so small that the viewer can't see their faces clearly, but they can clearly feel the smiling faces of the five people, their affection and nostalgia for each other, and their fearless spirit.

This makes this painting full of romanticism and the optimism of "the Creator's endless storage, and I and my children are compatible with each other" even though the theme of this painting is the ruthless natural landscape such as the starry sky and the sea.

"Why are you imitating it again?"

Li Qiyuan frowned slightly, Yu Huizhi was a little embarrassed, and said, "Fengfeng is really good at painting, especially in terms of color, I always feel that the color is not as natural and harmonious as his painting. I said earlier He is talented in painting, if we had let him study art at that time, now Fengfeng might have become a world-renowned and shocking painter!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you something more shocking. My son called me just now..."

Li Qiyuan told the truth about the phone call he had with Li Peifeng just now, but deleted some irrelevant things, such as the number 500 million.

"Are you really going?"

After hearing this, Yu Huizhi was also frowning: "Then what should you say when you meet Qing Ge's parents?"

Li Qiyuan had a serious expression and did not speak.

Although looking at the astonishing number of 500 million...Although looking at the deep bond of father and son and the bond of blood, Lao Li agreed to go to the capital to meet Zhao Qingge's parents, but what do you say after meeting, such a short time He really didn't think about it.

But the only thing that is certain is that Li Qiyuan didn't intend to do what his son wanted, he just went all the way to play a scene with Li Peifeng that would be exposed sooner or later.

In the final analysis, Lao Li still wants to fulfill his father's duties and let Li Peifeng go on the right path, instead of running more and more on the path of self-destruction.

"What do you think about it?" Yu Huizhi immediately asked after seeing her husband's face turn from cloudy to sunny in a short time.

"This is actually not a question of what I want to say, but a question of how my son wants to choose."

Li Qiyuan sighed softly: "After I arrive, let him make his own choice."

……

"You have only two options."

At this moment, Li Peifeng was sent off by Zhao Qingge's car and returned to the downstairs of AllBright City. On the way, Li Peifeng tentatively asked Lao Zhao what kind of attitude he had on the marriage plan he proposed before, and the other party gave a question that was not his. The desired, but expected answer.

"Either marry me only, or don't marry me."

Zhao Qingge raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the top floor through the car window, and pursed his lips slightly: "You can continue to look for them after marriage, I don't care, but you can't get another certificate with them."

Li Peifeng was speechless, thinking about it, and simply had a heart-to-heart bond with Zhao Qingge, and the communication was more straightforward and convenient.

His core point of view is still one, that he must lead the red books with the other three. This is what he promised before. If it can't be realized, not only will he be sorry for them, Li Peifeng will feel bad, and this relationship will not last long.

And in order to get Zhao Qingge to agree to this, he made another concession. Even if he didn't divorce Zhao Qingge and then obtained the certificate with the three of them, he proposed to Lao Zhao, but the other party still didn't agree.

[That already constitutes a crime, if I find out, I will sue you immediately. 】

[Let's sue, I checked, the maximum sentence is two years in prison, I admit it! 】

Zhao Qingge's mind went blank, looking at Li Pei's Fengfeng's lips trembling, his face turned red.

Li Peifeng didn't care, and stretched out his hand to embrace her, opening his mouth to kiss her.

"Do not touch me!"

Zhao Qingge resisted fiercely, punching and kicking, causing the car to ping-pong.

It's stressful, it's stressful!
Li Peifeng took a bite, Zhao Qingge held his head against him and couldn't speak, so he had to let go resentfully.

"You are so brave!!"

Zhao Qingge's anger still persisted, he clenched his small fist and punched Li Peifeng's chest vigorously twice, seeing that he had a bitter face and did not resist, he shot a knife with his eyes, and after about four or five seconds, he turned his head away from him, saying nothing Don't bother to say, communicate directly in the mind.

[I only ask you two questions, I will listen to you if you can answer them. 】

【Say! 】

Li Peifeng's face was shocked, and he was ready to fight.

[First, if I agree, have you ever thought about what to do if my parents or their parents find out about this? 】

Li Peifeng was lost in thought.

[Second, how long do you think you can hide from them for what you have done?Not to mention being met by acquaintances on the road after marriage, not to mention any clues you showed, or the three of them getting angry one day and showing their cards to their parents.Just talking about the wedding in the near future, four weddings for four people, do you think that none of the guests in these four weddings are the same? 】

Li Peifeng's soul went out of his body, and his mind traveled beyond the sky.

[Even if there is no overlap, can you guarantee that no one takes pictures and sends them to Moments every time a wedding is held?Can you guarantee that these four weddings will be completely secret and will not be exposed by social media and make the news? 】

Li Peifeng couldn't guarantee it 100%, and even felt that if any of the four parents knew about it, the other three would also know about it, so he felt guilty, and Zhao Qingge also felt Li Peifeng's emotions...

【So this can’t be hidden at all. It won’t be long. Either my parents will find out, or their parents will find out, or our friends will find out. How can you solve this problem?Or do you and Ben have no long-term considerations? 】

[I have considered it! 】

Of course Li Peifeng thought about it. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't solve it, so he kept avoiding this problem.

If the road to the harem is really difficult, then this level is the most difficult one. He is completely powerless and even feels a little desperate.

Although Li Peifeng has a way to compensate the girl's family with material money by improving his social status, he can't make that much money in a short time, and even if he spends more money, it may not necessarily make those elders Anger and complaints dissipate.

Although money is good, but people live, other things are also very important, such as face, dignity, and external evaluation.

What?You married my daughter and got a license with another woman at the same time?One, two, three... four? !Did my relatives and friends know about it? !
This is probably fatal. Although the parents of the four girls are in good health, they are old enough to be unacceptable. It is not impossible for one or two to be hospitalized.

Especially the couple Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin, they will never be swayed by pure money as their identities.And Mr. Li really couldn't think of what to do, so as not to be held accountable by them after his affairs were exposed.

More importantly, they may not only pursue Li Peifeng, but after knowing the whole process of the matter, they may also vent their anger and resentment on their daughter.

Disobedient and unfilial, humiliated and ruined, immoral, shameless!
Facing the gossip from the outside world and the strange eyes of the people around them, coupled with the sad and angry accusations from their biological parents...even the thickest-skinned Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan might not be able to bear it.

Having said that, how do ordinary harem novels solve this problem?

Fuck, it seems that they are all skipped directly, so there is no script for me to use as a reference?
Li Peifeng thought wildly...

"You are not living in a dream, sober up."

Zhao Qingge said in a soft tone: "I can understand you, and I also feel your embarrassment. Similarly, you should also understand my difficulties and theirs. If they don't say anything, maybe they choose to escape like you, but I won't."

"I knew from the very beginning that your plan would not work at all, because people live in the details described by relationships. The details are the stories, and the communication between people builds the epitome of the story. How could we not care at all What about the opinions of people around me? Especially my parents, close friends and society’s evaluation.”

"..."

Li Peifeng chose to open the car window, breathing in the cold air outside the window.

Zhao Qingge turned his head and looked ahead, and said softly: "In short, the reality can't be changed. As long as you live within the rules of the world, you have to make a choice. Before, you chose to procrastinate and turn a blind eye, but the problem still exists, and you still need to Face it. This is never something that I or others force you to face, but a difficult problem that you must answer...I am not educating you now."

The car was silent for a long time, Li Peifeng tilted his head slightly, looked at the familiar Mercedes-Benz S-Class downstairs through the car window, frowned slightly, then looked at the Audi A7 next to him, retracted his gaze, and looked up at the lights on the roof. I don't know what to think.

But after Zhao Qingge passed through the silence, there was another thought that he wanted to be subtle, but because he couldn't hide his thoughts.

【…】

Li Peifeng held Zhao Qingge's hand first, and then he turned his head, trying to raise the corner of his mouth to show a short smile: "I need you very much too, but you should really feel it, and don't force it."

"Ding~"

The phone rang, and it was a voice message from Xu Manning, more than 20 seconds long, a bit long-winded...

"Huang Tianxuan came to our house again! She seems to be sick, and she asked you to cook supper, you are not allowed to do it for her! And I have already finished working overtime and got home, why haven't you come back yet? Come back soon!"

"Ding~"

Another voice message came from Wu Wenyue, her tone was impatient: "Hurry up and go home, Man Ning wants to eat dessert, Nanny wants to eat fruit, if you don't want to make it, just drop by and buy it for them."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You obviously want to drink water..."

The second half of the sentence was uttered by Huang Tianxuan, and the voice message stopped here.

Li Peifeng didn't shy away from it, the volume was only a little lower when it was played, but it was enough for Zhao Qingge to hear these two messages clearly.

The former felt a little funny after hearing this, and turned to look at Zhao Qingge: "You can also go upstairs with me, it just so happens that the three of them are there, so we can have an in-depth chat."

Zhao Qingge lowered his brows and eyes slightly: "...Okay."

Close the door, get out of the car, and go upstairs.

The elevator goes up, and the door is opened to enter the house.

"Husband is back... Huh?"

"Professor Zhao?"

And the next moment, the three girls in the room were surprised by Zhao Qingge and Li Peifeng's return together, but seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the unanimous calmness of the two, they didn't ask Zhao Qingge's purpose of coming here in the first place.

Only Huang Tianxuan showed a smile: "Peifeng, the research and development of the drug has made progress again, and you may be able to complete the process research stage before you graduate. And we found that this drug has a very good side effect, it is beneficial to the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It seems to have a very good effect, but it is not 100% sure yet."

"That's really nice."

Li Peifeng answered casually while changing his slippers.

And his attitude also made the eyes of the three girls more serious.

After changing the shoes, Li Peifeng turned around and looked at the three of them, pursed his lips and said, "Qing Ge's parents suggested that the two parents meet, and I agreed. My dad's train arrives at three o'clock in the morning, and it will arrive tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for their response, Li Peifeng silently transmitted the conversation between him and Zhao Qingge with [Mind Consonance], which also contained his own affection and concerns about jointly obtaining the certificate.

It may be because the relationship between each other is deeper, and it is much more convenient to connect with the heart than the first time. You only need to say the name of the other party in your heart to establish a link, and then express your thoughts in a second, and explain everything to the three. It took Li Peifeng less than three seconds.

It also took time for the three people in front of them to digest a lot of information. After Li Peifeng sat on the sofa, they finally finished digesting, and their expressions became more stunned or angry with disbelief.

"So you want to choose..."

"Hear me out."

Li Peifeng shook his head and interrupted, pulling Zhao Qingge to sit on the sofa, and letting the other three sit down, and then took a small stool and sat opposite him.

There was a coffee table between the two parties, and the distance seemed very close, but it seemed to be far away.

"..."

Facing the different expressions and the uniform gazes of the four people, Li Peifeng wanted to speak twice, but stopped. After half a minute, he was finally brewing, but it was still difficult to speak;
"It may be because of my nature, or it may be because of some strange encounters, which made me a person who doesn't like to stay behind. I'm used to seeing rare scenery first, dangerous scenery first, and saying what I want most. In other words, first love the person you want to love the most.”

"I don't think that leaving a way out doesn't mean that hope is lost. Besides, I feel that being with you or being very happy makes me reluctant to look too far behind...so when you insisted on letting me choose, I wanted to be a rascal. , I choose to give each other a love that does not leave a future for each other every day, so as to record my true life.”

Speaking of this, Li Peifeng stiffened and didn't know what to do. He looked at the faces of the four people opposite him, and tried his best to maintain the posture of looking at each other: "But looking at it now, I haven't considered it thoroughly enough."

Huang Tianxuan leaned her body slightly and covered her face with one hand, only showing a wry smile: "You know that too?"

Miss Xu looked more sad than heartbroken: "The bad news is that he only knows!"

"It's a bit late to know!"

Wu Wenyue snorted, then seemed to have forgotten the topic of the discussion, and criticized Li Peifeng: "Didn't I ask you to give me... Did you bring fruit to Manning? What about the fruit?"
