Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 191: Lotus Emerging from Water

But Ouyang Jiahui, being quick-witted, utilized a woman’s tricks of crying, creating a scene, and threatening to hang herself when she saw Xu Xiangbei being so shameless. With a sudden idea, she immediately screamed loudly, "Ah, Sister Gu, Sister Gu, come quickly."

Seeing Ouyang Jiahui calling the Gu Family Sisters, Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to step out with one leg and most of his body, leaving his head unwillingly in the bathroom to admire Ouyang Jiahui’s graceful figure shrouded in steam.

Whoosh, a slipper was hurled and hit the edge of the door, nearly hitting Xu Xiangbei’s head. Xu Xiangbei had to retreat completely: "Hehe, Miss Ouyang, your figure is really great."

He then heard a thud from the bathroom door as Ouyang Jiahui pushed it with all her might, shutting the door closed.

"Shameless, peeking at someone taking a shower."

Xu Xiangbei, still pretending to be the good guy, earnestly reminded her, "Remember, next time you take a shower, make sure to close the door tightly."

But his threat received no response, only the sound of running water.

Feeling distressed, Xu Xiangbei sat in the living room, drinking beer and watching TV. He had seen her borrowing shampoo from Gu Xiangyi to wash her hair. Lao Zi had returned from practicing martial arts, at least three hours ago, and she was still showering. How much water is this costing me, I must find a way to drive her away.

The bathroom door opened, and Ouyang Jiahui emerged, her hair wrapped in a towel, her neck still glistening with droplets of water.

Her skin was naturally fair, and rejuvenated by the shower gel, Ouyang Jiahui was as white as a porcelain doll.

The robe was wrapped around her like a large dumpling, showing only her long, slender white legs, tender and inviting like freshly peeled bamboo shoots.

Her unadorned face was steamed to a more delicate white, rosy and fresh like ripe apples.

Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but whistle: "You look so fresh without makeup after a shower, one could totally describe you as a water lily."

Ouyang Jiahui gave Xu Xiangbei a sidelong glance and retorted irritably, "Sly and glib, like a weasel wishing a chicken a Happy New Year, no good intentions."

"Hehe, I’m not a weasel, and you’re not a chicken."

Ouyang Jiahui passed by him angrily on her way to her room.

Xu Xiangbei turned his head reluctantly, only to catch sight of something that stirred a heat in his chest.

From the front, Ouyang Jiahui appeared securely swathed, everything was concealed, yet the back of her robe was split, revealing a sensuous and curvaceous contour that she hadn’t noticed at all.

After she entered her room, Xu Xiangbei called out, "Hey beauty, you have quite the figure."

Ouyang Jiahui let out an involuntary piercing scream and slammed the door shut in embarrassment.

"The door locks very securely, no need to push hard, just a gentle close will do."

"Pervert, shameless."

Xu Xiangbei happily finished his can of beer, laughing heartily: "It’s not my fault, nor did I want to see anything. It’s your fault for not closing the door on purpose. I’ve said it before, it’s inconvenient for a man and a woman to live on the same floor, you might as well move out sooner rather than later."

From behind the door, Ouyang Jiahui kicked it repeatedly, the sound echoing loudly, "The more you want me to move, the less I will. Drives you mad."

The noise of Ouyang Jiahui’s kicking woke Gu Xiangyi from sleep. From downstairs, she shouted in her sleepy voice, "Can the brother and sister upstairs calm down? This little lady has work tomorrow, could you keep it down?"

Xu Xiangbei thought to himself, it’s all your fault, if it weren’t for you meddling, would Ouyang Jiahui have moved in here?

With a vengeful chuckle, he said, "It’s Miss Ouyang having a tantrum, not me, nothing to do with me."

Ouyang Jiahui burst out in anger, "You can’t escape the blame, you barged into the bathroom to watch me shower, and now you’re blaming me?"

Gu Xiangyi, suddenly alert, walked up to the third floor. Hearing Ouyang Jiahui say that Xu Xiangbei broke into the bathroom to spy on her shower, she became curious and asked Xu Xiangbei with a face full of interest, "You went into the bathroom to watch her shower?"

Leaning back on the sofa, Xu Xiangbei replied with a cheeky smile, "I did go in, but I didn’t see anything. You women are great at defending, not a single glimpse of spring was revealed."

There had been several occasions when Xu Xiangbei barged into the bathroom and saw Gu Xiangyi showering, and aside from the enticing scenery, he really hadn’t seen anything special. Remembering this, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit dejected.

Ouyang Jiahui yelled from her room, "Hmph, how would you know if you saw anything or not? Anyway, I don’t care, you barged into my bathroom. It’s your fault."

Gu Xiangyi missed her warm bed; if Ouyang Jiahui kept making a racket, she wouldn’t be able to sleep. She began speaking smoothly with her reliable persuasion.

"Miss Ouyang, you are both well-known figures in the fashion industry. Those models are willing to risk exposure for the sake of art, they happily walk the runway. They’re so admirable. You, Miss Ouyang, share their spirit. You sacrifice for freedom. For freedom, you must endure some losses. What just happened was an art form too. Anyway, he has barged into my bathroom too, and he didn’t see anything either. And, you know, these small incidents are inevitable when living together."

Ouyang Jiahui’s tone softened a little, and she asked curiously, "Sister Gu, he barged into your bathroom too? So how did you punish him?"

"Made him treat me to a meal, the best restaurant, the best dishes."

"Okay, I’ll let him go this time and deal with it tomorrow. Sister Gu, you go rest early, I’m tired, I want to sleep, not convenient to chat with you now."

After calming Ouyang Jiahui down, Gu Xiangyi quietly approached Xu Xiangbei: "Looks like you’re getting more shameless, huh?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled broadly, "I suppose my bangs are too long, covering my face, couldn’t see it."

Gu Xiangyi’s lips curled into a cold smile as she twisted his arm hard, causing Xu Xiangbei to yelp, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Gu Xiangyi glared at Xu Xiangbei and slowly returned to her room, leaving him with, "That’s your punishment, for barging into the bathroom to watch girls shower."

Xu Xiangbei defended himself, "I admit I barged into your bathroom in the past, but today it was truly an accident."

Early the next morning, Xu Xiangbei got up habitually, used the bathroom, and began brushing his teeth and washing his face.

Ouyang Jiahui entered, humming a tune, wearing her bathrobe.

Just remembering last night’s incident made Ouyang Jiahui unhappy, her face clouded. She glanced at Xu Xiangbei.

Still filled with unresolved resentment, she snorted, "I’m here to freshen up, you should step aside."

"Why should I?" Xu Xiangbei turned his head, looking at Ouyang Jiahui with a frosty face, speaking with dissatisfaction.

Ouyang Jiahui’s expression grew colder and she slowly said, "This is your punishment, from now on, it’s either you or me in this bathroom, never both."
