Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

184: Both parents died”Pfft... Hahahaha!” Holding the hairdryer in one hand and leaning on the dressing table with the other, she was shaking all over from laughter. ”It’s just about not having clothes to wear.”

Damn it, he was being mocked.

Zhang Ze cleared his throat, his expression serious.

”This is the basic quality of a professional. Any unexpected situation must be described using the most precise terminology to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and emotional fluctuations.”

”Oh? Is that so?” Liu Feifei finally managed to stop laughing. She put down the hairdryer and walked step by step toward Zhang Ze.

She walked around him once.

After speaking, she walked to her wardrobe and pulled open the door.

Inside, various clothes were hanging, but they were all exclusively women’s attire.

She rummaged through it and pulled out a large white T-shirt printed with a giant cartoon bear.

”Here.” She held the T-shirt up against Zhang Ze. ”This is my biggest piece of sleepwear; it should barely work as a top. As for the bottom...”

She paused, then continued, ”You can choose not to wear anything.”

Zhang Ze’s body stiffened.

[Damn! What kind of outrageous words are those!]

[I would rather be pointed at with a gun by Third Uncle at the shooting range than wear this bear-printed shirt and go commando!]

[Must my eight-pack abs make an appearance paired with this innocent and cute cartoon T-shirt? What an utter disgrace!]

[A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! I, Zhang Ze, have my limits!]

”I believe this solution lacks basic respect for male dignity,” Zhang Ze refused righteously.

”Is that so?” Liu Feifei tossed the T-shirt back into the wardrobe, then slowly walked to the bed and picked up her phone.

”Fine, seeing as your performance tonight was decent, Sister will help you out this once.”

She unlocked her phone, found a number, and dialed it.

The call was quickly answered.

”It’s me.” Liu Feifei’s tone changed, losing the previous laziness and teasing, and regaining the capable and decisive manner of a powerful businesswoman.

”Send a set of men’s casual wear and undergarments to the old manor, East Garden Building Three.”

She turned her head and quickly scanned Zhang Ze’s physique with a professional eye.

”Size... 185, standard build, slightly lean. Make it fast, deliver it within half an hour.”

She didn’t know what the person on the other end said, but Liu Feifei replied, ”Don’t worry about it, just send it.”

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

The entire process took no more than thirty seconds.

Zhang Ze stood rooted to the spot, watching her.

This woman switched between different states so naturally. Just moments ago, she was an older sister wearing rabbit pajamas and cracking jokes; now, she had become the commanding and unquestionable CEO Liu.

[Good heavens, that efficiency.]

[Delivered within half an hour, this service is faster than takeout.]

[Is this the power of the Yanjing Liu Family? I love it, I love it.]

”Alright, your ’logistics equipment’ is on its way.” Liu Feifei tossed the phone onto the bed and picked up the hairdryer again. ”You can sit down for a while and patiently wait for your airdrop.”

The buzzing sound of the hairdryer echoed in the room once more.

Zhang Ze felt somewhat superfluous standing there.

He glanced at the huge princess bed but dared not sit on it.

He then looked at the pink single sofa, which was also piled with several dolls.

Finally, his viable area was narrowed down to a small, sturdy-looking wooden chair opposite the dressing table.

He walked over and sat down, his body straight and his hands resting on his knees.

He looked like a young man visiting his girlfriend’s house for the first time, being scrutinized by his future mother-in-law.

[The atmosphere suddenly became so awkward.]

[What should I do now? Play on my phone? No, that would make me seem not composed enough.]

[Talk to her? About what? Should I discuss whether the rabbit on her bed is male or female?]

[Maybe I should appreciate the room’s decor style. Hmm, this pink is really dazzling.]

Liu Feifei dried her hair, letting her long hair fall casually over her shoulders.

She turned off the hairdryer, and the room instantly fell silent.

In the mirror, she watched Zhang Ze, who was sitting stiffly and looking uncomfortable.

”Little younger brother, why are you so nervous?” She turned her chair to face him. ”I’m not going to eat you.”

”I’m not nervous,” Zhang Ze immediately retorted. ”I am merely conducting tactical silence to better adapt to the current environment.”

”Fine, you’re the most professional.” Liu Feifei didn’t argue with him.

She stood up, walked to a small refrigerator in the corner of the room, took out a bottle of mineral water, and tossed it to Zhang Ze.

”Have some water; your lips look dry.”

Zhang Ze caught the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a drink.

The cold liquid flowing down his throat indeed calmed him down quite a bit.

”Sister Feifei,” he spoke. ”Your dad... Third Uncle, he’s a good person.”

He had originally intended to say Liu Jianguo, but when the words reached his mouth, he changed it to Third Uncle.

Liu Feifei’s movement paused slightly.

”My dad isn’t Third Uncle.” She walked to the window, looked at the night outside, leaving Zhang Ze with her back. ”My dad was the eldest in the family. He sacrificed his life when I was very young.”

Zhang Ze’s hand, holding the water bottle, froze in mid-air.

He hadn’t expected this.

[Holy crap, I said the wrong thing.]

[Now it’s really awkward.]

[No wonder, no wonder she possesses a toughness that rivals men, and no wonder she treats those dolls like family.]

Zhang Ze felt like an idiot.

He didn’t know how to respond.

Silence fell over the room again.

After quite a while, Liu Feifei spoke again.

”My mother died during childbirth when she had me. So, I was raised by my grandfather, uncles, and aunts. Third Uncle is a soldier, and my dad was one too, which is why he is the strictest with me, but also the best to me.”

She turned around, her face having regained its composure.

”So, thank you today. Thank you for beating him, and thank you for making him lose convincingly. He hasn’t been that happy in a long time.”

Just then, there were two gentle knocks on the door.

”Miss, the items you requested have been delivered.” A woman’s voice came from outside the door, sounding very efficient.

”Leave them by the door,” Liu Feifei responded.

The person outside acknowledged, and the sound of footsteps quickly faded away.

Liu Feifei walked over, opened the door, and picked up a paper bag with a luxury brand logo printed on it from the floor.

She handed the paper bag to Zhang Ze.

”Here, your gear has arrived.”

Zhang Ze took the bag; it felt quite heavy in his hand.

”Go on,” Liu Feifei lifted her chin toward the bathroom. ”Wash up properly, Mr. MVP.”

Zhang Ze, carrying the paper bag, stood up.

He walked to the bathroom door, stopped, and looked back at the woman standing in the pink room.

”Sister Feifei, I’m sorry, just now I...”

”Enough,” Liu Feifei interrupted him. ”Stop being wishy-washy. Go wash up quickly; the water is getting cold.”

Zhang Ze said no more, turned, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.
