Ye Fei took down the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall and scrutinized the surroundings once again. While for others, what might be hidden behind the wall was unknown, it was as simple as eating for Ye Fei. Despite being busy all day, his superpower had not been used passively.
However, when the wall disappeared, it revealed five or six young men and women hiding behind it, holding sticks and waiting quietly.
Ye Fei frowned, recognizing a familiar face among them—Yang Yi, the landlord's daughter. So it was her. He thought to himself, how could someone set up an ambush against me? Seeing the weapons in their hands, Ye Fei almost couldn't help but chuckle.
These young people were actually holding sticks with balloons attached to them, apparently trying to scare him. And there was a guy holding a water gun. Goodness, were these people too idle?
Ye Fei looked at the fire extinguisher in his hand, intending to put it down, when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
As a young person, Ye Fei had undergone significant changes recently, but he was still someone who enjoyed playing pranks.
He adjusted the fire extinguisher, raised it, and fearlessly walked towards the wall.
Hearing footsteps, Yang Yi raised the balloon in her hand and gestured to her friends behind her. Everyone nodded, and they all raised their weapons. Yang Yi shouted loudly, "Charge!"
The first person jumped out, followed by the others.
Suddenly, a white mist sprayed out, and Yang Yi felt herself drenched, quickly closing her eyes and letting out a scream. The echoing screams filled the empty underground parking lot. It took a while for everyone to gradually calm down and huddle together tightly.
Yang Yi cautiously opened her eyes and saw Ye Fei standing in front of her, holding the fire extinguisher.
"Oops, my new clothes!" a girl exclaimed in shock.
"Yi Yi, my new hairstyle!" a boy complained.
In total, there were five people, all covered in white foam on their clothes, faces, and hair, looking quite disheveled.
Yang Yi glared at Ye Fei angrily. "You did this on purpose!"
Ye Fei sneered and said, "You should consider yourselves lucky I didn't aim the fire extinguisher at you. This time, it's your good fortune. But if there's a next time, it won't be so easy."
With that, Ye Fei threw the fire extinguisher to the ground.
Crack!
The sound seemed to resonate in Yang Yi's heart, causing her to involuntarily take a step back.
Watching their distressed appearance, Ye Fei suppressed a smile and walked past them, finding it all quite amusing.
Turning her head, Yang Yi gritted her teeth and shouted after Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, we're not finished yet!"
"Yi Yi, why did you let him off the hook so easily?" a boy complained.
"Nonsense, where were you just now? You screamed like a girl," Yang Yi scolded him.
The boy said with a grievance, "That was unexpected. Who would have known this guy would have a fire extinguisher."
"Yeah, Yi Yi, how did he know about our ambush?" a girl wondered.
Looking at her own clothes, Yang Yi was speechless.
"Yi Yi, what are you looking at?" Yang Yi's good friend looked at Ye Fei's figure with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"Yi Yi, he's so handsome. No wonder you call him a second-generation rich kid. His calm demeanor and walking style, oh my, I'm smitten by him! I declare, this man is mine!" the girl named Ting Ting announced loudly.
Yang Yi covered her head. "Oh my, Ting Ting, you're swooning again."
"Let's go, what are you still standing here for?" Yang Yi shouted.
Several people followed Yang Yi and walked outside. Only Tingting lingered, blinking her big eyes, looking at the figure of Ye Fei, so handsome and cool.
Hearing the laughter behind him, a smile appeared on Ye Fei's face. He thought to himself, this was just a farce! If possible, he also wished to be as carefree and joyful as them every day. The days of youthful sunshine were so happy, but he had grown up long ago, and such a life no longer belonged to him.
Back in the quiet home, Ye Fei turned on the computer and began to search for well-known jewelry stores in the capital, preparing to cash in the gold in his hands as soon as possible. After selecting several target stores, Ye Fei decided that he needed to dress up. The current Ye Fei was no longer the rebellious teenager of the past, and such a large-scale gold transaction would undoubtedly cause a sensation. If people found out it was the same person selling everywhere, it would surely lead to unnecessary trouble.
Opening the closet, Ye Fei looked at the clothes inside and shook his head. Sportswear and casual wear were too ordinary. This was a big deal, and he needed to dress up seriously.
Browsing the Jingdong Mall, the JINBA brand clothes seemed low-key and inconspicuous, suitable for wearing out without attracting attention. He selected a T-shirt, jeans, and a jacket. Then he chose a set of leisurewear from Seven Wolves. As for famous brands like Armani, Genia, Prada, and Gucci, Ye Fei did not choose them. Those styles were too eye-catching, and the people in the jewelry stores had unique tastes. If they saw someone in top-notch men's clothing selling gold everywhere, it would surely cause unnecessary commotion, which he did not want to provoke.
After picking out some hair accessories and sunglasses, Ye Fei also purchased bags and suitcases from different brands.
Shopping was not just a woman's prerogative; men also enjoyed it. While a man might not be interested in going to the mall, they could be completely different online, and Ye Fei was no exception, deeply immersed in the joy of shopping.
Just as he was enjoying his shopping spree, Ye Fei's phone rang.
"Ye Fei, when are you coming back?" Wang Shuang asked anxiously.
Ever since learning of her son's breakup, the couple had been anxious, hoping Ye Fei would come home and rest for a while.
"Mom, I'm not coming back for now. I've moved to a new city and plan to start over!" Ye Fei said.
Wang Shuang exclaimed, "Where have you gone? Do you have money? It's a pity that you had such a good job before!"
The two elderly people had always thought that Ye Fei had a good job. When they heard that he had moved to another city, Wang Shuang felt sorry for him.
"Mom, it's not a pity. Your son is successful in his career. I'm in the capital now, where there are many opportunities. I've already made up my mind to develop here in the long term," Ye Fei said.
"The capital! Old Ye, our son is in the capital," Wang Shuang said happily to Ye Li.
For Wang Shuang, who had never left the province in her life, the capital was undoubtedly a much-anticipated place. Thinking that her son had become a resident of the capital, she could not conceal her joy.
Taking the phone, Ye Li said, "Da Yang, the capital is so big. Do you have a place to stay?"
Ye Fei smiled and replied, "Dad, I've already rented a house. I'll look for a job tomorrow. You don't need to worry about me."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Moving to the capital is a good choice. By the way, your aunt heard about your breakup and wants to introduce a girl to you. She's also working in the capital. You happen to be in the capital, so take the time to meet her."
Ye Fei looked somewhat displeased and said, "Dad, I don't want to consider dating right now."
"Just go and meet her. It's nothing serious. Your aunt has a good eye. The girl is beautiful and has a good job," Ye Li said with a smile.
Ye Fei smiled at his father and said, "Dad, I've already rented a house. I'll look for a job tomorrow. You don't need to worry about me."
Ye Li nodded and said, "There are indeed more opportunities in the capital. By the way, your aunt heard about your breakup and wants to introduce a girl to you. She's also working in the capital. Since you're in the capital, take the time to meet her."
Ye Fei frowned slightly and said, "Dad, I don't want to think about dating for now."
"It won't take up much of your time. Your aunt has good judgment. The girl is beautiful and has a good job. Just go and meet her, here's her number!" Ye Li said as he handed over the phone.
After saying this, Ye Li added, "Your aunt has always been good to you, and this is her way of caring for you. Others probably wouldn't bother. You can weigh it yourself."
Then he hung up the phone.
Looking at his phone, Ye Fei shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, the thought of blind dates made him feel troubled—this old-fashioned approach in this day and age, really...
Early the next morning, Ye Fei got busy as soon as he got out of bed. The goods from Jingdong Mall were delivered quite quickly, one after another, and by noon, all the items had arrived.
Feeling his hungry stomach, Ye Fei realized that he had been in a state of tension all day yesterday and hadn't eaten properly. He glanced around the kitchen and shook his head. The least thing a single man wanted to do was cook. Ye Fei was no exception, so he decided to eat out.
Ye Fei hung all the clothes that had been delivered into the wardrobe, took off his sportswear, put on a set of Seven Wolves leisurewear, wore a wig, a hat, and sunglasses, and carried a leisure bag with five gold bars inside.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Fei smiled faintly. Dressed like this, even his parents wouldn't recognize him.
Thinking back to the phone call from his parents last night, Ye Fei sighed. How could he have the mood to find a new girlfriend now?
