Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 204 Killing the Cuckoo (19)

Fang Yihe did indeed drive to a neighboring city to find Li Tingyi.

Li Tingyi told him that he had argued with his parents.

They started arguing the day he came home, mostly over trivial things, like breaking a bowl, breaking an egg, or because Li Tingyi slept in for an extra half hour and didn't get up for breakfast on time.

What are clearly trivial matters can often escalate into a full-blown verbal battle involving insults such as cursing each other's ancestors and using vulgar language related to genitalia.

Because he could only go home a few times a year, Li Tingyi initially endured it.

Until today, on New Year's Eve, during the family reunion dinner, he discovered that the drinks his father had bought were expired and planned to move them out to get rid of them.

His father stopped him, insisting that "it's just expired, not spoiled, you can still drink it," and then said, "You think you're so great just because you earn a few dollars? You look down on everyone and everything." "Get the hell out of here, if you don't want to drink it, get out."

Unable to bear it any longer, Li Tingyi had a big argument with his father. Without even putting on a coat, he grabbed his phone and stormed out of the house. He is now staying at the only hotel in town.

After hearing the whole story, Fang Yi was heartbroken and decided to go and bring Li Tingyi back that very night.

The one-way trip is only about 400 kilometers.

On New Year's Eve, due to traffic congestion, Fang Yihe drove for nearly eight hours, covering 400 kilometers, from 9 pm to 5 am before finally arriving at the town where Li Tingyi lived.

He dialed Li Tingyi's number, and the person on the other end spoke with a nasal tone and a grumpy tone: "You better have something on your mind, otherwise I won't let you get away with disturbing my sleep so early in the morning!"

Fang Yi asked, "What's your hotel room number?"

With just one sentence, Li Tingyi immediately sensed something was amiss. He said incredulously, "Don't tell me you've come."

If I say yes, will you send me back?

Li Tingyi hung up the phone.

Fang Yihe waited downstairs at the hotel for three minutes before Li Tingyi, wearing a thin sweater, rushed downstairs.

The two looked at each other from a distance. Li Tingyi felt a surge of warmth in his heart and rushed over in the dim morning light, hugging Fang Yihe tightly.

Fang Yihe hugged him tightly in return.

Li Tingyi was still somewhat hesitant, worried about being seen, so the hug quickly ended. He asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Take you home."

Li Tingyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Fang Yi's smile widened instantly—he had come overnight with a purpose: to take Li Tingyi away and prevent him from getting engaged.

Li Tingyi checked out of the hotel without hesitation, leaving behind his luggage, and got into Fang Yihe's car to return to Ningcheng.

Both of them were in good spirits on the return trip, chatting and laughing all the way, and even stopped at a service area for a meal.

Fang Yihe's phone rang several times on the way, but he didn't answer it.

Both of them selectively ignored this detail.

It was already 2 p.m. when they got back to Ningcheng. The car was parked downstairs in Li Tingyi's residential area when Fang Yi's phone rang again.

It was Fang's mother calling.

He hung up again and then silenced his phone.

After driving 800 kilometers round trip for more than ten hours, Fang Yihe's face showed obvious fatigue, but Li Tingyi thought that his face looked good no matter how he looked at it.

He reached out and touched Fang Yihe's chin: "Was it your mother's call, or that old hag?"

"my mother."

"You were missing for a whole night and half a day on New Year's Eve. Have you figured out how to explain it to her when you get back?"

Fang Yi leaned over and gave him a light kiss on the corner of his mouth: "She knows about us... As long as we appease Gao Li, my mother won't have any objections."

"You're such a filial son," Li Tingyi laughed, gesturing with his chin. "Since you're already here, why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?"

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I'll go home first and come to keep you company tomorrow."

"Okay." Although Li Tingyi was a little disappointed, she didn't hold it against him since he had come to pick her up overnight. She reached for her seatbelt to get out of the car.

But just as his hand touched the seatbelt buckle, it bumped into a box in the gap of the passenger seat.

He took the thing out and saw that it was a certain brand of condoms. After seeing that it was opened and a few were missing, his face immediately darkened.

"Fang Yihe, what is this?"

Fang Yi's gaze fell on the box, and she was clearly taken aback: "How did this thing end up in my car?"

"Did you buy it?"

"No, it's Gao..." Fang Yihe realized her mistake halfway through her sentence and quickly corrected herself, "I've never used it with her."

The tender atmosphere in the car just a moment ago suddenly changed.

Li Tingyi's eyes scanned him up and down like radar, every glance filled with suspicion: "You admitted that it was that slut who bought them, left them in your car, and a few are missing. Now you're telling me you didn't use them with her? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Fang Yihe: "..."

It started again.

He knew that with Li Tingyi's sharp and suspicious nature, once he became suspicious, it would be difficult to dispel it.

But he could doubt that he had to coax her, and even if he couldn't coax her properly, he had to be attentive.

Fang Yi said helplessly, "She bought the things, and she did hint to me that she wanted to do it, but I didn't agree and made up an excuse to get away with it..."

"You mean, Gao Li not only pestered you for love, but also opened this box of condoms before you even took your pants off or got an erection?"

"I don't know why she opened the condom beforehand, but I definitely didn't..."

"Enough!" Li Tingyi interrupted him angrily, throwing the box of condoms onto the windshield. "Fang Yihe, have you told me even a single truth about Gao Li?"

You told me she had a miscarriage at an advanced maternal age and needed a year to recover before getting pregnant again. It hasn't even been six months! And you've already slept with her, even using a condom. Was it her who couldn't resist, or you?

Fang Yihe: "..."

He actually disliked Li Tingyi in this way.

Whenever Gao Li is mentioned, he becomes a completely different person. All his manners, etiquette, and refinement vanish, replaced by a barrage of insulting words, as if he could render Gao Li utterly worthless.

"What do I have to say for you to believe that I really didn't sleep with her after her miscarriage!" Fang Yi said, utterly dejected.

He was no longer able to get angry at Li Tingyi's unreasonable behavior; all that remained was exhaustion.

He was so tired. The exhaustion from traveling 800 kilometers back and forth overnight seemed to come over him all at once. He just wanted to end the argument as soon as possible, no matter what it took.

"The facts are right in front of me. No matter how you try to argue, I won't believe you!"

"What do you want?"

Li Tingyi was enraged by his attitude: "Fang Yihe, is it so hard to tell me the truth? Is it so hard to admit that you did it with her?"

Fang Yi blurted out, "Okay, I've done it with her, right there in the car, is that alright?"

Li Tingyi was taken aback.

The next moment, he raised his hand and slapped Fang Yihe hard across the face.
