Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 119: Laughing Amidst a Hundred Flowers

Sun Jiajia gave Xu Xiangbei a grateful smile, but her expression was a bit hesitant.

"Dr. Xu, I also have that idea, to live here with Keke, but I’m afraid I can’t afford the rent."

Hearing Sun Jiajia mention the rent, Ding Keke cast a pleading look at Xu Xiangbei.

After all, the courtyard is Xu Xiangbei’s property. Whether they could find someone to share the rent, and how much rent they should pay, was all up to Xu Xiangbei.

Seeing Sun Jiajia’s hesitant look, Xu Xiangbei thought she didn’t want to live here. It turned out she was worried about the rent, and he grinned.

"You don’t need to pay rent. Ding Keke is my assistant, and I’m letting her live in the courtyard. She occasionally helps me tidy up the yard. You’re her friend, we’re all like family."

Yet, Xu Xiangbei’s words made Sun Jiajia frown even more.

"I’m not a relative of yours, so I have to pay the rent. Even though I’m homeless, I still have my hands and a job. I don’t need anyone’s charity."

Ding Keke knew that Sun Jiajia was stubborn. If they didn’t take her rent, she wouldn’t live there, so she gave Xu Xiangbei a look.

"Dr. Xu, you should still collect rent. You’re not short on money, just charge a little less, okay?"

Xu Xiangbei understood and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "You both just graduated from university, and your salaries aren’t much. How about each of you pay a thousand a month? Am I being generous or what?"

Sun Jiajia looked at Xu Xiangbei in surprise, "A thousand for both of us, that’s only five hundred each? So little, aren’t you losing a lot?"

In Jiangcheng, an ordinary small room of over ten square meters costs around five hundred in rent per month.

This courtyard is luxuriously decorated and includes a spacious, elegant yard. According to market prices, the rent would be at least twenty thousand a month. As soon as he spoke, Sun Jiajia knew he was accommodating her.

"Haha, maybe not. What if both of you fall in love with me and marry me? I’d make a huge profit then."

Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia simultaneously blushed. Ding Keke retorted, "We wouldn’t marry you. We’re paying you rent and still helping you clean the yard. A thousand isn’t cheap, and we haven’t even charged you a cleaning fee."

Sun Jiajia also laughed and scolded, "You’re dreaming big. I’m not going to fancy you."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled and said, "I can charge less rent, but next time I come by, you guys better prepare delicious food for me, just like today. I still want to eat that steak Jiajia made."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei mention the steak, a blush spread on Sun Jiajia’s face as she recalled the awkward occasion when she invited him over to plead and especially cooked for him.

The three chatted and ate, and time unknowingly flew by.

Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia were already unsteady from drinking. Their faces were as rosy as smeared with blush, charmingly red, giggling and almost collapsing onto the table.

Looking at them, Xu Xiangbei’s heart itched, thinking just a few more drinks and the two beauties would be drunk, haha, and he could have a closer encounter.

However, his wishful thinking was thwarted by unexpected circumstances.

Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang—a call from Director Wu: "Dr. Xu, a batch of medicine is about to arrive at the school. The weather is hot, and they need to be refrigerated. Can you come and handle it?"

"No problem, I’ll make a trip to the infirmary."

On the phone, Director Wu was very polite: "Thank you, Dr. Xu, sorry to interrupt your rest."

"No worries, it’s a small matter."

The ringing phone caught Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia’s attention. They sobered up a bit, realizing that drinking more would make them drunk, and put down their glasses.

Ding Keke asked, puzzled, "Who called, asking you to go to the infirmary?"

Xu Xiangbei felt a bit disappointed and said helplessly, "Director Wu called. Some injections need to be refrigerated. I have to go there and put them in the fridge."

"Then hurry up and go. Jia Jia and I can clean up here."

Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to drive his Ferrari, red as fire, to the school. Soon, a courier in work clothes delivered two boxes of medicine to the infirmary. Xu Xiangbei took the medicines out of the boxes and sorted them into the refrigerator.

Outside came the sound of a knock, accompanied by a weak female voice: "Is Dr. Xu here?"

Sounding somewhat familiar, Xu Xiangbei closed the fridge door, walked to the outer room, and peeked out. It was Chen Xin.

She had a ponytail and was wearing a t-shirt and denim shorts, showing off her snow-white, slender legs, looking inside anxiously.

Upon seeing Xu Xiangbei, a red hue flashed across her face: "Hello Dr. Xu."

Xu Xiangbei leered at her long legs: "Pretty lady, what do you need me for?"

Chen Xin nervously said, "My good friend Liu Ningyan has a stomachache, and it’s really bad."

The name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it. Xu Xiangbei asked, "Where is she?"

"She’s lying in the dorm room, too much in pain to get out of bed. I’m really worried. If I couldn’t find you, I would’ve had to call 120."

It sounded like this Liu Ningyan girl was quite ill. Xu Xiangbei collected himself and said: "Oh, then I’ll go take a look."

Xu Xiangbei donned a brand-new white coat, locked the door to the infirmary, and followed Chen Xin to the girls’ dormitory.

On the way to the girls’ dormitory, they occasionally brushed past groups of three to five pretty girls.

It was Sunday, a day off, and the girls were all dressed up, heading out to shop and have fun.

They were in the bloom of youth, at the age when love blossoms, in the most beautiful time of their lives.

They didn’t need to wear makeup or dress flamboyantly; a slight smile could reveal their youthful beauty.

Their skin radiated a golden glow, and their smiles were as bright as the sun. Aside from a few with out-of-shape figures, most were slim and full of vitality, like blossoming crabapple flowers.

Although he didn’t get to enjoy the two blossoms from the courtyard, he unexpectedly landed himself in a garden of colorful flowers.

Xu Xiangbei found it hard to tear his gaze away, his heart brimming with joy, ever more certain that coming to Jiangcheng University was an excellent decision.

From a distance, he could see the girls’ dormitory building lined with colorful laundry. Xu Xiangbei felt a tingle of excitement, fantasizing that he might run into some girls upstairs who weren’t fully dressed.

Following Chen Xin into the girls’ dormitory, they were stopped by the watchdog lady at the entrance: "Wait, this is the girls’ dorm, you can’t go in."

Xu Xiangbei smiled and said, "I’m a doctor, here to see a patient."

Chen Xin quickly explained, "From dormitory 218, classmate Liu Ningyan has a severe stomachache and can’t make it to the infirmary, so I brought Dr. Xu, the campus doctor."

Ordinary people can’t enter the girls’ dormitory, but Xu Xiangbei’s white coat confirmed his identity as the campus doctor, making it a conspicuous pass.
