Chapter 168: Beautiful Night Scenery
Chapter 168: Beautiful Night Scenery
Xu Xiangbei wore an expression of being wronged: "I was just helping out with good intentions, how come in your mouths my motives are impure and my intentions bad? Am I?"
Xu Xiangbei proved himself with actions, and while saying that, he quickly embraced Ding Keke’s waist and gave her a kiss on her soft, smooth cheek, and then he was kicked out of the courtyard.
Ding Keke was a warm-hearted person, helping Liu Ningyan and the others clean the room, set up the bed, provided bedding, and matched keys, just like an enthusiastic big sister.
With Ding Keke’s help, Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin saved a lot of trouble and moved to the courtyard in the evening.
To celebrate their new tenants moving in, Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia bought some groceries, cooked, and invited Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin to dinner.
Even though no one invited Xu Xiangbei, he happily stayed on the sofa, refusing to leave, just waiting for dinner to start.
They say three women make a drama; add Xu Xiangbei to four women, and it’s a spectacular show.
Ding Keke prepared a delicious spread, with crystal shrimp, sweet and sour fish fillets, Kung Pao chicken, seven or eight dishes of all sizes in total.
Sitting among the four beauties, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit light-headed, with the candlelight flickering and the beauty of the scene, he focused on admiring their beauty, forgetting to eat.
Each of the four beauties had their unique charm, slender or curvaceous, a gift from nature that no artificial decoration could surpass.
Ding Keke wore a fitted red silk cheongsam with exquisite dark embroidery, shy and reserved, like a red rose about to bloom.
Sun Jiajia looked mature and alluring, wearing a lady-like professional outfit that exuded cleverness and competence.
Liu Ningyan was extraordinarily beautiful, pure and elegant like a noble young lady.
Chen Xin, with her cheerful personality, wore a ponytail; although not as beautiful as Liu Ningyan, she was still youthful, beautiful, and full of energy.
Ding Keke smiled and said, "I propose we first toast to our lovely landlord, then, whoever wants to drink with him alone, go ahead."
Sun Jiajia echoed with a laugh, "Sure, I agree."
The four beauties exchanged glances and immediately reached an understanding, taking turns to toast Xu Xiangbei. Xu Xiangbei certainly knew they were using a rotating tactic, but being surrounded by four beauties was a blessing, and Xu Xiangbei was very happy, drinking freely, soon getting drunk and going to the bathroom to vomit.
Xu Xiangbei slurred, "You guys are too ruthless, trying to get me drunk. If you drink me under the table, I’ll sleep in your beds."
Xu Xiangbei did get drunk, but he didn’t climb into any of the beauties’ beds; instead, he was dumped on the sofa, snoring, enjoying his sleep.
In the middle of the night, Xu Xiangbei felt extremely thirsty, got up to drink water, and unexpectedly found a room with the lights still on, so he cheekily walked over.
He was about to knock when he found the door ajar, "Hehe, who’s so nice to leave the door open for me?"
He pushed the door open and went in; the room was dimly lit, the night wind cold, a gust of cold wind blew in from the window, giving Xu Xiangbei goosebumps.
Suddenly, a woman stood in front of him, but it was a faceless mannequin, scaring Xu Xiangbei into a scream that sobered him up considerably, only to find it was just a humanoid plastic mannequin.
Hearing the scream, Sun Jiajia, holding scissors, faced Xu Xiangbei: "Dr. Xu, what are you doing in my room?"
Xu Xiangbei said cheekily, "I saw your door was open, so I came in to see you, to see if you were asleep."
Sun Jiajia’s face flashed a blush, remembering the last time she undressed, trying to seduce Xu Xiangbei.
She said coyly, "Shameless, I don’t want you to see, get out, I’m going to sleep."
Xu Xiangbei lingered in the room, smirking, "Hehe, did you intentionally leave the door unlocked to let me in?"
Sun Jiajia waved the scissors in Xu Xiangbei’s face, "Don’t flatter yourself, I just went out to get scissors, I have to prepare for tomorrow’s fashion show and urgently need to alter two outfits. If you don’t leave, watch out, or I’ll use the scissors on you."
Xu Xiangbei perked up, "Oh, where’s the fashion show being held?"
"It’s at the Jiangcheng Sports Hall, with more than twenty models in swimsuits, walking the runway."
Xu Xiangbei’s eyes brightened up with a longing look, "So many beauties in swimsuits? Take me to check it out."
"I’m going there for work, I can’t take you."
"If you don’t take me, I’ll sleep in your bed tonight."
Sun Jiajia had no choice but to agree to Xu Xiangbei, "Alright, I’ll take you tomorrow. Now please go back to the living room, I want to sleep."
"Then it’s settled, see you."
Xu Xiangbei turned and walked out, bumping into the mannequin again, he complained, "Sun Jiajia, having this in your room, you want to scare people to death, I was almost scared to pee."
Sun Jiajia covered her mouth laughing, "Who told you to break into my room in the dead of night, good thing I wasn’t in the shower, otherwise you’d see everything."
Xu Xiangbei left Sun Jiajia’s room and returned to the living room, grabbing a bottle of mineral water from the table and gulping it down, feeling much better but still wanting more water, only to find the water cooler was empty.
"I have water here."
Liu Ningyan handed him two bottles of mineral water, wearing a silk camisole nightdress, the smooth fabric clinging to her exquisite body, outlining her curves.
Xu Xiangbei drank both bottles and asked, "Why aren’t you asleep? Insomnia?"
Liu Ningyan walked into the yard, gazing at the crescent moon and twinkling stars, a content smile on her face, "I can’t sleep easily in a new place, but the night sky here is beautiful. Not being able to sleep has its perks; you get to enjoy the beautiful night scene."
Xu Xiangbei approached Liu Ningyan, "Are you going to school tomorrow?"
"I still have classes recently, of course, I have to go, and I’ll be back here at night. Thank you for bringing me to such a beautiful place, allowing me to enjoy this gorgeous night."
Xu Xiangbei smiled, "This beauty has always been here; some people can feel it, some can’t. Actually, on this night, the most beautiful thing isn’t the moonlight or the stars, it’s you."
Liu Ningyan blushed, "Dr. Xu, you’re teasing me again."
"Don’t I have a point? No matter how beautiful something is, if no one appreciates it, it loses its value. This beautiful night is lovely because you’re here to appreciate it; without you, what’s the point of a beautiful night view?"
Ding Keke opened the window, rubbing her sleepy eyes, complaining to Xu Xiangbei, "It’s the middle of the night, why are you making noise under my window? I still have to be on duty at the school clinic tomorrow, Dr. Xu. Don’t get too sentimental, you’ll have to be there in the morning; it’s our last day on duty in the school clinic."
It seemed to be an unusual night, with everyone in the courtyard suffering from insomnia, including Chen Xin.
She quietly wore headphones, watching the bamboo grove swaying with the wind from the window.
