As soon as Yingzi returned, Fei Hu naturally moved out of the villa. Since he had been fishing for three days and sunbathing for two before the New Year, he had hardly been to the company. So, after the New Year, he went to work early. The security chief smiled at him and said, "Brother, I heard you are doing well. The shifts during the New Year are tightly scheduled, so don't come and make things difficult. How about you officially start working on the sixth day of the New Year? I can discuss it with you; it would be hard for me to handle if you squeeze in now."
Fei Hu thought about it and readily agreed. In fact, he didn't care whether he worked one more day or one less day. Just yesterday, when Yingzi returned, Ye Cheng gave each of them a big red envelope. He didn't know how much others received, but when he came back and saw his, it was a full five thousand yuan. This was equivalent to two months' salary for him. Fei Hu felt delighted; everyone loves money because having money ensures a good life, so he was quite fond of it.
Looking back at last year, although Fei Hu faced many difficulties and obstacles, his income was quite good. He earned in a year what he couldn't earn in several previous years combined. Every time he heard his grandfather say on the phone, "Fei Hu! This money is coming a bit too fast; you need to hold onto it and not cause any trouble. Also, the family isn't short on money right now; everything we've sent you is saved up. Just spend it on yourself and don't skimp on yourself," he felt reassured.
While Fei Hu was lying in bed, happily reminiscing about his experiences over the past year, there suddenly came a loud knock at the door. He hurriedly got up and walked toward the door while checking the time; it was only a little past eleven in the morning. Who could be looking for him at this hour? Fei Hu wondered as he pulled open the door.
"Hi! Happy New Year! Where have you been these days? I haven't seen you," Alice said with a smile as she stood at the door.
This woman had slipped his mind during his busy days. He was momentarily taken aback and quickly replied, "I was visiting friends for a few days. How was your New Year? Come in."
"Is it convenient? There won't be anyone else..." Alice said hesitantly, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.
Fei Hu smiled and said, "Come in! It's just me here; there's nothing inconvenient about it."
Alice walked in with a smile, looking around. As Fei Hu followed her inside, he realized just how casually she was dressed—she wore only winter thermal underwear that clung tightly to her body, showcasing her beautiful figure perfectly: her prominent chest, slim yet curvy waist, and rounded hips were all very alluring. Even her bare feet in slippers looked charmingly sexy.
Noticing Fei Hu's greedy gaze, Alice laughed and said, "Is my outfit not nice?"
"No, no! It's just that you look too good in it; that's why I couldn't help but look twice. Please have a seat," Fei Hu hurriedly changed the subject to divert attention from his embarrassment.
Alice sat down on the sofa, facing Fei Hu, making him unable to look her in the eye. The way she was dressed was almost as revealing as being naked, causing his heart to race and breath to shorten. But Alice didn’t care; she exaggeratedly twisted and turned on the sofa, leaving Fei Hu blushing. He was struggling to control himself.
“Is there no event today? When do you start working?” Alice finally calmed down and began to ask Fei Hu seriously.
Fei Hu took a deep breath, trying to relax his flustered emotions before answering, “It’s hard to say! But I don’t have any appointments yet. I officially start work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Haven’t you opened yet?”
“Hehe! It’s rare to have a break; I don’t want to start working so early. I plan to officially open on the eighth, but I already received a call from a customer today. Women these days are something else; if they don’t get beauty treatments for a day, they fear becoming ugly. They’re really anxious about it,” Alice said, shaking her head helplessly as if she weren’t a woman herself.
Fei Hu knew very little about women’s beauty routines, so he could only chuckle awkwardly in response.
As Alice spoke, she stood up and peeked into Fei Hu's kitchen. Turning back with a smile, she said, “You’re really poor; there isn’t even a leaf of vegetable in your kitchen. How about this: come over to my place for lunch today and try my Chinese cuisine. My fridge is stocked with everything except fresh vegetables. We can go shopping for some later, okay?”
Alice's gaze was incredibly enticing, instantly breaking down Fei Hu's defenses. He hurriedly replied, “Sure! I haven’t figured out lunch yet anyway; as long as I can fill my stomach, I’m willing to eat anywhere.” As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he was done for—this woman had captured his heart again. What could he do? He couldn’t just flirt with every pretty woman he met!
Once Alice left, Fei Hu quickly grabbed his black trench coat, put on a white shirt underneath, tied a rarely used red tie, and donned a pair of big sunglasses he bought for ten yuan on the street. Standing in front of the mirror, he secretly admired his cool outfit; the saying "clothes make the man" was indeed very real.
When Fei Hu went downstairs, Alice was already waiting for him. She was quick; wearing a light yellow turtleneck sweater and black tight leggings topped with a red trench coat, she had tied a white silk scarf around her neck that made her look elegant and poised. Especially with her pair of mid-heel high-heeled shoes that matched her height perfectly—wherever she stood, she looked just like an international superstar.
“Wow! You look amazing! If you walk down the street like this, I can’t imagine how many people will turn their heads,” Alice exclaimed while walking towards the entrance of the community.
The Cayenne shone brightly; driving with her was different from how men did it—the outside was clean and the inside spotless with a faint fragrance. As Fei Hu settled into the passenger seat, he felt both comfortable and impressive.
The people returning from outside were all similar in nature; Alice driving the Cayenne was headed to a large mall run by foreigners. Fei Hu felt particularly dissatisfied; weren’t the vegetables here grown in China? Could it be that they were airlifted from abroad? That would make them stale—how could they be considered fresh?
Fei Hu accompanied Alice as they walked through several product areas. Just as they reached the Red Wine Counter, a stylishly dressed woman approached them from a distance. She grabbed Alice and her eyes scanned Fei Hu, a mischievous smile on her face. She asked Alice, "Darling, have you got a new boyfriend? He's quite cool; I like his personality."
Alice glanced at Fei Hu, her laughter bright and lively. She replied, "You've got it wrong; he's my new neighbor. Don't say things like that, or he might get upset." Although Alice said this, her gaze towards Fei Hu was somewhat peculiar.
"Come on! You're really good at pretending. A neighbor is just a wall away, not across mountains and rivers," the woman exaggeratedly swayed her slim waist, her eyes sharp as knives as they scrutinized Fei Hu.
It's often said that three women make a play, but watching these two women interact posed no problem for Fei Hu. They chatted and joked for over ten minutes before reluctantly saying their goodbyes. As the wild woman left, she even blew a kiss to Fei Hu, which left him feeling both excited and intrigued.
Seeing Fei Hu looking somewhat unnatural, Alice smiled and said, "This is my best friend from Australia, also from City A. She's quite the wild one but lives well and knows how to have fun. Like me, she's a libertarian." After hearing this, Fei Hu merely smiled; it seemed he had yet to fully liberate his thoughts from old ideologies. There was still much for him to learn in this society.
Driving the Cayenne for quite a distance, they only bought a basket of groceries, which puzzled Fei Hu. Was this what they called a wealthy lifestyle?
Upon returning home, Fei Hu changed into more casual clothes before knocking on Alice's door. Wow! The room was beautifully decorated! He stood at the threshold unsure where to place his feet. The ceiling was sky blue with patterns painted on it, featuring floating white clouds. The room had thick carpets laid out, and between Alice's bedroom and living room hung a beaded curtain. From the living room, one could vaguely see everything in the bedroom: a large bed and a clothes rack with women's lingerie hanging on it—each piece exuding endless allure.
"Where are the slippers? Don't just stand there; come help me wash the vegetables," Alice had already taken off her outerwear and was now in her lingerie from earlier. Fei Hu thought to himself that this looked less like someone preparing to cook and more like a beauty pageant.
Fei Hu lowered his head, not daring to look at Alice beside him. When she asked him to wash radishes, he washed radishes; when she told him to cut potatoes, he cut potatoes—obedient like a maid. Fortunately, Alice exuded an air of sophistication all around her. To his surprise, her skills in Chinese cuisine were quite impressive; in no time at all, several dishes were served at the table—colorful and flavorful. With such delicious food paired with a beautiful woman, Fei Hu felt utterly blissful.
