"What's so memorable about the New Year's Eve dinner? It's the same every year..."

Fei Mo did not take the bait.

"Can you believe it? For me, the most unforgettable New Year's Eve dinner was in a dream."

In my dream, I wasn't the Jing Li I am now, but a powerful figure who had connections in both the underworld and legitimate society. One year during the Lunar New Year, I went to his territory to negotiate with my mortal enemy, but we were both ambushed. We barely escaped with our lives and ended up hiding in an old shed on the mountain to avoid being hunted down.

A month passed, and we ended up living together for a month. We even spent New Year's Eve together. My nemesis somehow got hold of flour to make me some wild vegetable dumplings, but when I ate them, I found meat filling inside.

Later I found out... what I ate was his flesh. Was it special? This New Year's Eve dinner, this dream.

Jing Li paused in her dumpling-making, recalling the few times she and Si Fei had crossed paths, a radiant smile playing on her lips.

"Hmm...it really was a very meaningful New Year's Eve dinner."

With a slight smile, Fei Mo nodded in agreement.

"Why do you think he cut off his own flesh to feed me? Was it to disgust me?"

Jing Li stared intently at him, pressing him for answers.

"Perhaps, he simply wants to merge himself into your very being?"

Her smile remained unchanged, and Fei Mo's hands didn't even tremble.

"Brother, the food we eat will be digested through intestinal peristalsis and then excreted as poop..."

Rolling her eyes, Jing Li started to act disgusting.

"It seems your nemesis is a fool. He's been too romantic with the wrong person. I'll learn from this and try not to make the same mistake again."

Fei Mo's smile widened, her phoenix eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

"Yeah, he's not only stupid, he's a complete psychopath..."

Jing Li lowered her eyes, concealing the tenderness in them.

The reason Si Fei cut off her own flesh was simply because she kept complaining to him that she wanted to eat meat...

Only someone who's both stupid and perverted would think of cutting off their own flesh to feed her!

"So, do you like him? That stupid and perverted guy."

Moved by something, Fei Mo asked Jing Li with bright eyes.

"Brother Fei, I'm your girlfriend. What kind of boyfriend asks his girlfriend if she likes other men?"

With a gentle laugh, Jing Li remained composed.

She was forcing him to admit his true identity.

But Fei Mo was not fooled.

"You said it yourself, it was just a dream, so it doesn't matter what happens in a dream, right?"

"Yeah...it's just a dream, and how could I possibly like someone from a dream?"

With a light laugh, Jing Li snorted. After successfully seeing his expression change, she was about to coax him when the three brothers returned, interrupting their conversation.

"We'll help too."

Not wanting the two of them to be too tired, the three brothers volunteered to join in.

Fei Mo glared at the three of them with annoyance. A bunch of annoying third wheels, don't they think they're getting a bit too much wattage on their heads?

I can't see it, I can't see it.

The three of them continued to lie there, bearing the dark expression on someone's face.

They would absolutely not let this 'wild man' have such a good opportunity to get closer to their sister!

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Shen Xuanqi was on the phone with Cui Xueling, trying to get information.

Cui Xueling was very alert. Instead of informing her, she asked her how she knew someone had visited the Cui family.

"Don't say it, it makes me angry. I don't know what my three older brothers were thinking, they actually brought Jing Li and her mother home for the New Year, and Fei Yingdi too."

"Oh, right, you almost got me into trouble! You told me before that Jing Li was being kept by Actor Fei, that's completely wrong, okay? They're clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, it's not some kind of shady, dirty deal."
