Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 204 Good Intentions Lead to Bad Outcomes

If it were only Gu Xinyan practicing boxing, maybe she wouldn’t be anxious even if she spent her whole life on the first move. As long as she could stand up and walk like a normal person, she’d achieve her goal.

Seeing Ouyang Jiahui practice boxing today and learn several moves in just an hour, her innate competitiveness started to emerge.

Hearing Ouyang Jiahui suggest teaching her the second move, she couldn’t help but feel tempted, subtly glancing around. Seeing Xu Xiangbei wasn’t there, she felt like Eve trying the forbidden fruit, excitedly nodding and agreeing to Ouyang Jiahui’s suggestion.

Ouyang Jiahui promptly learned and taught, meticulously explaining the second move of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist to Gu Xinyan, and demonstrated earnestly, teaching with more enthusiasm than she learned herself—a truly warm-hearted person.

Finally able to practice the second move, a flush of excitement appeared on Gu Xinyan’s face.

The second move seemed simple too, just stretching the leg forward, though it was a bit painful.

Gu Xinyan gritted her teeth, unafraid of pain, believing that enduring more pain would bring her closer to her dream, allowing her to stand up sooner and walk like a normal person.

She mimicked Ouyang Jiahui’s moves, stepping forward with ease, splitting her fists and swinging them to her chest, without needing much force.

Having learned a new move, she smiled like a child who got a new toy.

Ouyang Jiahui was happy for her too, giving her a thumbs up.

Suddenly, Ouyang Jiahui felt a sharp pull on a tendon inside her thigh, alarmed and warning that a cramp was coming, a familiar yet painful feeling overwhelmed her.

She lost her balance from the pain, falling to the ground with a thud.

The fall made the pain worse, and she cried out, her legs trembling continuously.

At this moment, she finally understood Xu Xiangbei’s purpose of letting her only practice the first move wasn’t to sideline her but to protect her.

Seeing Gu Xinyan fall down crying in pain, Ouyang Jiahui was panic-stricken. She intended to kindly teach Gu Xinyan the second move but unwittingly caused her a cramp.

She quickly rushed to the third floor to find Xu Xiangbei.

Xu Xiangbei was using the toilet, washing his hands. The bathroom door was slammed open, and Ouyang Jiahui ran in looking terrified.

He smirked and said, "Miss Ouyang, I knew you had impure thoughts about me, flirting even when I’m using the toilet, but fortunately I’ve finished and my hands are washed. Okay, I’ll comply with you later."

Ouyang Jiahui almost pulled Xu Xiangbei from the toilet: "What are you talking about? Sister Gu Xinyan has a leg cramp, she’s in terrible pain, quickly go help her."

Xu Xiangbei bitterly smiled, "Can you leave first so I can pull up my pants?"

When Xu Xiangbei arrived, Gu Xinyan lay weakly on the ground, her spaghetti strap dress rolled up above her thigh, revealing a pair of snow-white slender jade-like legs, and delicate small feet like exquisite sculptures.

A torrent of sharp pain surged like waves, causing Gu Xinyan to sweat profusely, her white spaghetti strap dress soaked with sweat.

He quickly positioned his fingers in a focused gesture, pressing on the acupoint of Gu Xinyan’s thigh cramp.

Suddenly, a strong hand pressed on the painful spot on her thigh, injecting a warm inner strength into her pulse, relieving the pain and restoring the tense pulse to normal.

Without looking, she knew it was Xu Xiangbei, who had relieved her pain so many times. Only when seeing Xu Xiangbei’s hand did Gu Xinyan feel safe.

After a while, the intense pain expression on Gu Xinyan’s face finally began to fade. Her pulse gradually returned to normal.

Xu Xiangbei helped Gu Xinyan back into the wheelchair, speaking in a reproachful tone: "Why are you careless? Don’t be too eager, you must progress gradually."

Though Xu Xiangbei verbally blamed Gu Xinyan, his eyes widened in amazement. The sweat-covered Gu Xinyan now looked like a pear blossom wet with rain—a truly beautiful sight.

He kept swallowing, and his hormones kept surging.

Seeing Gu Xinyan being blamed, Ouyang Jiahui explained with a guilty expression, "It’s my fault. I wanted Gu Xinyan to practice the second move, didn’t expect it to cause her such pain."

Gu Xinyan looked pale, exhausted and weak, but smiled faintly, "It’s not your fault, I was too impatient."

Gu Xinyan suddenly noticed Xu Xiangbei’s gaze burning at her like a flame.

Under the glare of Ouyang Jiahui and Gu Xinyan, Xu Xiangbei chuckled and looked elsewhere.

"I’m afraid of your muscle pain, I’ll give you more massage later if needed."

Ouyang Jiahui scolded with a hint of rebuke, "Muscle pain or menstrual pain, your medical skills are great, but you’re not serious at all."

Xu Xiangbei sneaked away, chuckling mischievously, "If you need further massage, remember to come upstairs to find me."

Whoosh, Gu Xinyan threw a book in her hand at him, but Xu Xiangbei ran quickly and narrowly avoided getting hit.

"I helped relieve your pain, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

Ouyang Jiahui affectionately took Gu Xinyan’s hand, her expression still guilty, tidying Gu Xinyan’s messy hair on her forehead.

"Sister, I really admire your resilience. If we switched places, if I were sitting in a wheelchair like you, I don’t know if I’d have the courage to continue living."

"Thank you, really everyone is stronger than they imagine, I’m nothing special."

"Is your leg still hurting?"

"Not anymore, Brother Xu is like a miracle healer, once his hand touched me, the pain vanished."

Gu Xinyan suddenly realized the ambiguity in her words, blushing and hurried to explain, "I mean his massage was really effective for illness treatment."

Ouyang Jiahui laughed ambiguously, "You don’t need to explain, he’s never serious, always trying to take advantage of us, when teaching me boxing earlier, he was eyeing me fiercely. Xin Yan sister, if your leg isn’t hurting, I learned some acting when I was in school, would you like me to teach you how to act?"

Gu Xinyan became excited like after getting an injection, her eyes lit up, sweeping away the fatigue, "I’m worrying about how to audition, Brother Liu already told me the content, but I don’t know how to express my emotions, Sister Ouyang, it would be amazing if you could teach me."

Ouyang Jiahui laughed confidently, "I’ve specifically learned acting, I assure you I’ll provide professional guidance."

Gu Xinyan laughed happily, suddenly thinking of something, her expression darkened again, expressing her ongoing concern, "I’m afraid sitting in a wheelchair as a disabled person, Director Feng might make fun of me."
