Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 220: Serving the Beauty

Ouyang Jiahui had already arranged accommodation for Xu Xiangbei and them, letting them stay at her apartment, a two-bedroom unit on the twenty-ninth floor of Haitan Apartments.

However, Ouyang Jiahui received an emergency call to work overtime at the company. The company had guest rooms prepared specifically for overtime workers, so she went to use the guest room under the pretense of overtime.

People often crash for meals, but crashing to sleep in a room is quite rare. Earth Sea is an international metropolis where even explosive hairstyles can become a fashion trend. Xu Xiangbei wasn’t surprised by much anymore.

Ouyang Jiahui left Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan at the entrance of Haitan Apartments and hurried off.

Located in the expensive downtown, the area was filled with forty- to fifty-story skyscrapers. Looking at these towering buildings gave Xu Xiangbei a sense of insignificance.

Sitting in the large elevator up to the twenty-ninth-floor apartment, he stood in front of the large glass bay window. Looking down at the streets below, it felt like being in an unreal toy kingdom, with neatly arranged streets and toy cars racing around.

Gu Xinyan contacted Liu Yuxing and arranged to audition at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Liu Yuxing happened to have some free time and planned to treat Gu Xinyan to lunch. He would drive to Haitan Apartments around 1 p.m. to pick Gu Xinyan up.

Xu Xiangbei’s stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time. Upon hearing that a big star was inviting them for a meal, he was very happy. However, Gu Xinyan blushed with a shy smile: "Brother Liu invites only me for a meal, so you shouldn’t go."

Xu Xiangbei glared at Gu Xinyan intently, causing her to turn away nervously.

"Your sister said you can’t leave my sight by more than a meter. I don’t want to be a third wheel, but I have to watch over you."

Having made it clear, Gu Xinyan puffed her chest slightly, her face flushed with excitement, her expression resolute yet gentle: "I can take care of myself. This is my private date; you can’t come. There are several bars next to the apartment, you might as well go there."

"No, for your safety, I can’t let you meet Liu Yuxing alone."

Xu Xiangbei was also very insistent, and the two of them glared at each other, faces flushing like two fighting roosters. Gu Xinyan felt her odds of winning against Xu Xiangbei were slim, so she returned to the bedroom.

Xu Xiangbei turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, thinking about where to eat lunch when ding-dong, the doorbell rang crisply.

Xu Xiangbei jumped up from the sofa with a face full of annoyance: "Wasn’t he supposed to come after one o’clock, why is he here now?"

Xu Xiangbei opened the apartment door, and his eyes lit up, his heart stirred. Standing outside was a graceful lady wearing a strappy sheer dress.

Her eyes were blue, like a clear blue crystal diamond, her nose was high, and golden hair cascaded over her plump shoulders, with sheer skirt wrapping around a pair of vaguely visible beautiful legs.

The beauty was surprised when seeing Xu Xiangbei open the door and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Xiangbei gazed at the alluring, elegant curve of the beauty, grinned playfully: "I am who I am, and who might you be?"

The beauty checked the door number again, making sure there was no mistake, pointed with her slender, white finger inside, somewhat puzzled as she said, "Where’s Ouyang Jiahui, isn’t this her apartment?"

Encountering a beauty in a foreign land, who knows, it might just lead to a love story spanning three lifetimes. Xu Xiangbei flicked his hair, slicked with styling gel, ensuring maximum charm.

His voice was indescribably gentle: "Oh, you’re here to see Ouyang Jiahui? Please come in."

The beauty was amused by Xu Xiangbei’s lovesick antics and, suppressing a laugh, entered the room: "Where’s Ouyang Jiahui, where did she go?"

Xu Xiangbei was blocking the doorway, cutting off the beauty’s escape route, determined not to let her get away easily.

Xu Xiangbei grinned mischievously: "She lent me her apartment for a few days, do you need her for something?"

Seeing Xu Xiangbei blocking the doorway with a wicked expression, it was only then the beauty realized she was in a potentially dangerous position, making her a little nervous, and her nervousness made her fair, delicate face even more attractive.

"She’s not here, so why let me in?"

Gu Xinyan heard a girl’s voice and wheeled herself out of the bedroom: "Who’s looking for Sister Ouyang?"

The beauty worried that Xu Xiangbei might be impersonating a friend of Ouyang Jiahui with ulterior motives, but seeing Gu Xinyan in the wheelchair, and hearing her refer to Ouyang Jiahui as Sister Ouyang, her expression relaxed a lot.

It seems they really are friends of Ouyang Jiahui.

"You’re all friends of hers?"

Gu Xinyan smiled and said, "Yes, she lent us the apartment for a few days. Do you need her for something special, you could call her."

The beauty raised two cans of beer in her hand: "Nothing special, I live across the hall. I came to see if she wanted to have a drink."

Xu Xiangbei was immediately interested: "You’re looking for someone to drink with? We haven’t eaten yet, how about joining us?"

The beauty’s blue eyes glanced at Xu Xiangbei, smiling a bit reluctantly: "Actually, I do have a little issue, do you know how to fix a faucet?"

Xu Xiangbei laughed, realizing that the beauty came for this reason.

He secretly thought, is she looking for Ouyang Jiahui to fix a faucet? Then Ouyang Jiahui must be quite the tomboy, unknowingly uncovering another of her secrets.

Eager to help a beauty, Xu Xiangbei was very happy, smilingly said: "So, you live across the hall? Fixing a faucet is a small thing, let me have a look. Don’t mention fixing a faucet, I can even fix people."

The beauty was amused by Xu Xiangbei: "You can fix people, how do you fix people?"

Gu Xinyan, seeing Xu Xiangbei’s lovesick expression, a sly glint appeared in her eyes, and a thought passed through her mind.

She changed her usual practice of belittling Xu Xiangbei and said in a boastful tone: "He is the famous Divine Doctor Xu from Jiangcheng, of course he can fix people."

The beauty had been wary of Xu Xiangbei, seeing him smile sinisterly, believing he had ill intentions, but upon hearing Xu Xiangbei was a doctor, she felt more at ease.

"You don’t look it, you’re so young, and a doctor. Having a big doctor fix my faucet makes me feel embarrassed."

"It’s nothing, serving a beauty, flirting with a beauty, oh no, serving the people, serving the people."

Xu Xiangbei felt a sneaky satisfaction, nearly letting slip, as he followed the beauty to the opposite door.

"What’s your name, beauty?"

"I’m Xiao Lin."

Xiao Lin’s apartment had the same layout as Ouyang Jiahui’s, but the boudoir of a beauty was evidently different from a tomboy’s apartment.

Ouyang Jiahui’s apartment focused mostly on practical items, leather sofas, solid wood cabinets, and even a pair of dumbbells so heavy even men would struggle to lift them.

Evidently, it had a lot to do with her genes from an Ancient Martial Family. It wasn’t just about chasing fashion trends, transforming was easier said than done.
