Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2430 - 2494: Reiko’s Diary

Leaning close, she wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s waist, rested her head on his lap, exerted slight pressure with her arms, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. The saintess said, "Darling, it’s great that you think this way. I think the sisters at home will feel at ease as well. However, you don’t have to restrict yourself too much. After all, some things should come naturally."How many people are truly that magnanimous? Love, after all, is selfish. Sometimes, Li Yifei finds himself in a state of helplessness. He wishes to be with each of his wives, yet finds himself unable to be in more than one place at a time. Taking care of one often means neglecting another. But the situation has already occurred—having so many wives cannot be changed—so he can only try not to attract too many people.

After hearing the saintess’ consolation, Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Having you all is enough. I mean it."

"Darling, at this moment, I find you truly dazzling," the saintess said, her eyes shining.

"Really?" Li Yifei touched his chin.

"Of course, had you not been... I would want to devour you right now," she said coquettishly.

Hearing her voice change like that made Li Yifei’s heart skip a few beats. Although the word ’devour’ traditionally means consuming food, the context was quite different. Li Yifei let out a wolfish howl, lifted the blanket, and ensconced himself with the saintess, stirring up waves of passionate emotion beneath the covers.

The next day, Li Yifei gathered preliminary information on the person impersonating him. The email account wasn’t very secure, so it had been easily hacked. However, Li Yifei discovered that Aoki Reiko had been hiding something—she even sent the other party a sum of money. Although it wasn’t much, only three hundred thousand Huaxia currency, it still made Li Yifei frown.

The saintess tried to console him, saying it was due to Mr. Mu Fei’s immense charisma, otherwise Aoki Reiko would not have done so. Also, it was a good con, as the other party claimed that his ailing mother was in serious condition, yet he couldn’t return and, being tasked with a mission in the Middle East, was unable to send money. Thus, Aoki Reiko helped out.

Given Aoki Reiko’s wealth, this amount wasn’t significant, so she sent the money over.

"Love, my foot! She didn’t even think—if he could send an email, why couldn’t he do a wire transfer online? It’s obviously possible since there’s a network," Li Yifei huffed angrily.

The saintess continued to comfort him: "She’s just warm-hearted. Don’t be upset. Now that we’ve tracked down this person, it shouldn’t be hard to catch him!"

"Watch me deal with him," Li Yifei said with a grim tone.

They now had the bank account information, which made it easy to track the person behind it, including names and other details. What surprised Li Yifei was that the person was actually from Huaxia, named Zhang Dabao, who was from the same hometown as him, Ning Province, though he had been studying in Japan for three years now. Even if it wasn’t at a prestigious university.

Of course, this wasn’t the key point. The key point was that this person had indirect contact with Aoki Reiko. When Aoki Reiko initially sought a Chinese language teacher, this man’s friend applied. The person had been to Aoki Reiko’s house but was not selected. Instead, Aoki Reiko chose another female student as her language teacher.

However, from his friend, this man learned the location of Aoki Reiko’s house and the power her family wielded, which sparked an idea in his mind. Using hacking skills, he infiltrated Aoki Reiko’s computer.

Digging deeper, Li Yifei’s team found some documents on the man’s computer, which recorded some URLs. Upon entering the URLs, they were found to be a diary-like, password-protected website. After cracking the password, Li Yifei logged in to find it was Aoki Reiko’s diary site. Many diary entries were recorded, expressing her longing for Mr. Mu Fei and documenting events from that time. Later entries recorded interesting incidents in her life, narrated as though speaking to the non-existent Mr. Mu Fei.

There were over a hundred diary entries, meaning she wrote one every few days, which wasn’t infrequent.

Although sneaking a peek at someone else’s diary was improper, Li Yifei began reading. A few entries attracted his attention, those written during his time in Japan’s battle with the Japanese Martial God.

After the battle, Li Yifei was severely injured and disappeared. The Aoki family dispatched many to find him. Once found, he recuperated at the Aoki family home, where Aoki Reiko cared for him, preparing meals and giving massages, all recorded within.

However, this wasn’t the critical part. The critical part involved Aoki Reiko’s inner thoughts, such as the sentence, "I understand this might not be good, but why do I feel I might like Yifei? Is it because he resembles Mr. Mu Fei and is also a master? But he clearly has a family, though... I might not mind how many wives he has. I believe we can live harmoniously together. Ah, Miss Reiko, what are you daydreaming about? This cannot be. The person in your heart is Mr. Mu Fei. He’s the one who forcefully barged into your life."

For instance: "Today I helped Yifei with a massage. He said it was comfortable, and I was happy, too. Besides Mr. Mu Fei, he’s the second man I’ve touched, yet I felt no discomfort. I don’t know why, but I sense that Mr. Mu Fei and Yifei share a similar, perhaps identical, scent. It’s a fascinating scent, which I find myself liking, providing a special sensation. Ah, Reiko, how can you be so indecisive? You’re supposed to like Mr. Mu Fei. You once said you wanted to find him, marry him, and become his wife. How can you long for Yifei? He is your friend; one must respect friends and not think wildly."

Li Yifei also noticed: "Yifei is leaving, and I heard he defeated our country’s Martial God, the strongest one. I’m truly happy for him, but he’s severely injured. I’m somewhat worried for him. Such a life seems to be what he often experiences. Yet, if one walks by the river, one is bound to get wet someday. This time, it was dangerous. If he doesn’t make it... His home still has so many beautiful wives and lovely children who need him. Ah, perhaps Mr. Mu Fei experiences similar things. I’m worried for him, too, though being a hero is dangerous. Anyway, today I just wanted to say I’m a bit reluctant that Yifei is leaving. A strange emotion lingers in my heart. I know it’s not right, but I can’t control it, leaving me a bit embarrassed, like a bad woman! He’s so outstanding, like Mr. Mu Fei. If only I had known him sooner, perhaps then..."

At this point, Li Yifei finally understood where Aoki Reiko’s strange emotion came from when she saw him earlier. The root of the problem was that Aoki Reiko seemed to have fallen for him as well. So her heart was conflicted, trying hard to put it behind her. It may be that with Mr. Mu Fei’s sudden appearance, her feelings shifted back, especially since she hadn’t seen Li Yifei for months...

As he was reading, another journal entry popped up on the website. The timestamp showed it had just been published. The journal, being private, was only visible to Aoki Reiko, but naturally, Li Yifei could see it too. It was a diary entry Aoki Reiko had just written.

"I didn’t expect to see Yifei at this time. He is still so... handsome, full of masculinity, and he cares for me. Even yesterday, when his mood was rushed, I knew it was for my benefit, worried about me, afraid of being deceived. I also know that the sudden appearance of Mr. Mu Fei is somewhat unreal, yet he knows so many nuanced details, making me lose my ability to discern. Deep down... I hope it’s true, so despite knowing there are doubts, I’m willing to believe in Mr. Mu Fei, just like he saved me back then."

"Yifei asked why I was feeling this way. At that moment, I wanted to tell him the truth, confessing my inner conflict and even feeling a bit like I betrayed him because... deep inside, I know my heart. During our last meeting, facing Yifei, I felt a liking for him emerge in my heart, a sense of guilt, a sense of shame, or perhaps all of these are wrong. I can’t tell anyone about this, but I know it’s like being caught in the act. Heavens, Reiko, you mustn’t describe it like that. Though the term expresses some of my thoughts, I like A and believe he is my ideal, but B’s appearance makes me feel a liking too... I’m so conflicted. Of course, I know I will choose the real Mr. Mu Fei because he was my first love, and that feeling is indescribable. As for Yifei... I’m very grateful to him. He is a good man, a good friend. I know he has his own principles and boundaries, so I never worry about what he might do to me."

Finally, Aoki Reiko made a few reflections, sighing as she wrote: "If only Yifei and Mr. Mu Fei were the same person, it would be like a dream come true. I am such a bad woman; I even think of such things. But if they were the same person, it would be like a miracle bestowed upon me by a divine being."

After reading this, Li Yifei closed the webpage, smacked his lips, a mixture of emotions within. He felt Aoki Reiko was a pitiable person, and the chief culprit was himself. Although Li Yifei felt like a reformed rake, declaring to his wives he would no longer attract others, he had unknowingly drawn in quite a few.

Thus, Aoki Reiko, troubled with yearning, knew full well that the appearing Mr. Mu Fei might be fake, yet she still believed it to be true. Li Yifei immediately felt guilty, and now, a fake ’Li Gui’ had taken advantage of the situation. If he were to be caught and Aoki Reiko learned that this person was a fake, wouldn’t this be another blow to her? And as a result, would she... Li Yifei’s mood remained complicated.
