For the unexpected visitor, Li Xiaofeng felt somewhat annoyed, not knowing if his brother was busy. Although he had no idea who was standing outside the door, he would not show any good face to anyone who interrupted his research on the treasure basin—of course, except for beautiful women.
Unfortunately, the person standing outside the door was indeed a beauty, and not just any beauty, but one of the level that could topple a nation, and there were two of them. Well, the 2B guy was already completely stunned. Although he had heard that Russian girls were beautiful, the beauties in front of him still left him in awe, even making him wonder if he had traveled through time again.
There was no way around it; the black-haired beauty outside the door looked too much like someone, an angel who should not have been born in this era—Audrey Hepburn. Of course, Hepburn's hair was not black, so the visitor could not be the actress. However, at this moment, how could the 2B youth notice such a small detail? His brain had already short-circuited.
"Skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony..." Li Xiaofeng muttered to himself foolishly. If he hadn't already dried his mouth from drooling over the treasures in the basin, he would have looked even worse now.
"What did you say?"
The blonde beauty behind Audrey Hepburn suddenly stepped forward, sizing up Li Xiaofeng from head to toe, and said with a slight disdain, "Angela, are you sure? This guy doesn't seem as good as you said..."
Finally, Li Xiaofeng focused his attention on the blonde beauty. Well, this one wasn't bad either, with a very tall figure that seemed to be nearly 1.8 meters, almost a head taller than "Audrey Hepburn." Li Xiaofeng also found her familiar, resembling Charlize Theron, and her figure was even more fiery than Theron's, making her bust feel even more impressive in this era where women were tightly wrapped.
"Charlize Theron" suddenly laughed and complained to the "Hepburn" beside her, "Angela, this guy's eyes are all over the place, he's clearly a little pervert..."
Li Xiaofeng felt a bit embarrassed, not because he was a lustful person, but as the old saying goes, "After three years in the army, even a sow becomes as beautiful as a fairy." Anyone who had been a virgin for hundreds of years would turn into a lecher when suddenly encountering such beauties. He was already doing well to not transform into a werewolf on the spot.
The 2B youth pretended to cough and asked in the most gentlemanly tone, "Ladies, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Andrei Petrovich. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Audrey Hepburn" and "Charlize Theron" were clearly taken aback, exchanging a glance and looking at Li Xiaofeng with suspicion. It was "Charlize Theron" who spoke quickly, "What are you up to? Aren't we classmates?"
He had made a mistake, and Li Xiaofeng felt his face burning. In the past two days, he had been too busy with the revolution and had completely forgotten to absorb the memories from Andrei's soul fragment, so he naturally did not recognize Andrei's classmates.
"Classmates... ha ha, of course we are classmates. I was just joking," Li Xiaofeng laughed awkwardly.
"Strange!" Charlize looked at Li Xiaofeng again and said, "If you didn't look exactly the same, I would have thought someone was impersonating you!"
Embarrassed, Li Xiaofeng felt his head spinning and could only explain, "I am not the original Andrei Petrovich. My experiences over the past two days are beyond your imagination! The harsh environment has turned me into a true warrior! That's why I feel it's necessary to get to know you all over again!"
"Charlize" laughed, but the laughter didn't seem friendly, rather it was filled with mockery, "It seems Peter and Paul Prison can really change a person. The shy little Andrei has turned into a man. Hmm, you look quite cute in that prisoner's uniform..."
But "Hepburn" came to Li Xiaofeng's defense, "Vita, I think Andrei is right. Adversity can indeed change a person. And no matter what, if it weren't for him, I might have fallen into the hands of those devils that day."
Saying this, "Hepburn" thanked him with deep emotion, "Thank you, Andrei Petrovich..."
"Hepburn's" words of thanks seemed to unlock Andrei's sealed memories. The fragmented memories, like shattered glass, suddenly pieced together the truth:
Angela Viktorovna Hemstra, the "Hepburn" in front of Li Xiaofeng, was the eldest daughter of the Dutch-Russian noble officer, Viscount Hemstra. This girl, as beautiful as her name, was a young revolutionary. Under her influence, the students of the Foreign Languages Department at St. Petersburg State University joined 300,000 workers on the streets on March 9th.
Although Andrei Petrovich was a very shy and timid young man, as a long-time secret admirer of Angela, he was willing to shed blood for his angel. For the sake of his beloved, he threw himself into the revolution for the first time, despite having no revolutionary ideals.
Then, poor little Andrei met with a tragic fate. He was extremely unlucky. When the other police in St. Petersburg turned a blind eye to the procession, their formation directly collided with the gendarmes.
What happened next was simple. The poor students were chased by the ferocious gendarmes. To protect his beloved, Andrei mustered all his courage and stayed behind to cover their retreat. As a result, he was almost killed, and Li Xiaofeng got a lucky break.
Understanding the whole story, Li Xiaofeng was moved by Andrei's devotion. Even just reading the memories, Andrei's courage and overwhelming love before his death completely overwhelmed him, making him feel suffocated.
"What's wrong with you!" Angela was startled by Li Xiaofeng's pained expression and quickly came to his aid. The moment her warm hands touched him, the latter, immersed in boundless love, almost fainted from happiness.
After a long time, Li Xiaofeng finally freed himself from the suffocating emotions. If it weren't for his immortal powers, he might have been suffocated to death by the overwhelming love. He covered his face and coughed, "Nothing, I choked."
"Choking while talking, you're really a weirdo!" Charlize pouted, pulling back Angela's hands and said casually, "Well, we were planning to find a way to get you out of prison, but now that we see you're fine, Angela is relieved. We came here to thank you!"
From "Charlize's" tone, Li Xiaofeng couldn't detect any gratitude, but he knew that Victoria Nikolaevna Popova, Angela's cousin, had always looked down on Andrei, considering him a useless little boy. Now, she was being a bit more tactful for Angela's sake, but in the past, she would have been full of sarcasm and ridicule.
However, Li Xiaofeng didn't care much. First, Victoria was Angela's cousin, and he had to give her some face. Second, beautiful women always had a bit of privilege. Even though she spoke harshly, he couldn't just hit her, could he?
"Yes, I'm relieved to see you're fine," Angela's fair face turned slightly red, seemingly startled by Li Xiaofeng's passionate eyes. "To show my gratitude, I invite you to dinner at my house tonight. I hope you can honor us with your presence."
How could a lecherous guy like him refuse such an invitation? He immediately agreed, seeing it as a great opportunity to get closer to the beauties. Whether to end his hundreds of years of virginity or to honor the memory of the deceased Andrei, he wouldn't miss such a chance. After all, he wasn't a shy and innocent young man.
After seeing the two beauties off, Li Xiaofeng started to get dressed. After all, he couldn't go to a dinner party in his prison uniform. However, the 2B guy soon encountered a new problem. He was dissatisfied with all the clothes left by Andrei. It seemed that the guy had only worn proper suits. God be my witness, in hundreds of years, Li Xiaofeng had never worn a suit. He had no fondness for such formal attire.
In his view, the reason Victoria called Andrei a "big boy" was largely due to these suits. Andrei's pale face and formal suits made him look too scholarly, making him appear even younger than he was.
"I need to be more wild and more energetic!" Li Xiaofeng said to himself.
After giving up on the suits, he began to select more suitable clothes from the treasure basin. It was not easy to find something that highlighted wildness and vitality without being too shocking. He didn't want to be a non-mainstream in this era. Moreover, considering his future role as a revolutionary, he needed to have a bit of a military aura.
After much selection, he chose an A-2 pilot jacket from the U.S. Air Force during World War II for the top. The iconic G-1 jacket from "Top Gun" had charmed many fans, making Tom Cruise, who was just over 1.7 meters tall, look tall and handsome. However, Li Xiaofeng felt the G-1 was too flashy, and the more classic A-2 was more appealing.
For the pants, he chose a pair of 5.11 Tactical pants. Made of 100% cotton, they were well-fitted, comfortable, and durable, with a design suitable for intense activities, making them perfect for outdoor activities, hunting, and walking. They also had seven different functional pockets for carrying items. FBI agents had been using them for 20 years.
For the shoes, he chose the Belleville 590, a military boot derived from the classic 550ST, which was not only lighter and more breathable but also very stylish. The quality of a century-old factory was reliable, and American soldiers loved them.
Putting on a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses like Tom Cruise, he looked at his new image in the mirror and was very satisfied. After all, this outfit would still be very stylish a hundred years later, and many military enthusiasts would tighten their belts to complete such a set. Of course, if he could have a cool motorcycle like Tom Cruise, it would be even more perfect.
