Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 222 Doing Good to the End

Xu Xiangbei returned to the apartment with a look of annoyance. His attempt to help the beautiful woman was unsuccessful, and instead, he got taken advantage of by her, missing his meal in the process.

Later, when Xu Xiangbei reminisced about this incident, he was always a bit confused about whether he had taken advantage of Xiao Lin or if Xiao Lin had taken advantage of him. It remained an eternal mystery.

Soaked to the skin, he had no choice but to take a shower and change his clothes. When he checked the time, it was already one o’clock. That big celebrity Liu Yuxing said he would come to pick up Gu Xinyan at one o’clock, so he was probably on his way.

He secretly decided that, no matter what, he had to follow them willingly and act as a 100-watt light bulb, ensuring that Gu Xinyan and Liu Yuxing wouldn’t have a date alone.

Just as he was about to watch TV for a while, he suddenly sensed something was off. Why did Gu Xinyan keep listening to the same song? When she came back to get her suitcase earlier, it was this song. Before his shower, it was this song, and even after his shower, it was still this song.

He suddenly opened the door to Gu Xinyan’s bedroom. Inside, there was nothing but a computer looping a piece of music.

He even bent down to check under the bed, but unfortunately, it was a floor-standing bed with no space underneath to hide anyone.

"Outrageous, this little cripple dared to run away."

He angrily dialed Gu Xinyan’s phone, only to hear an electronic voice: "The number you have dialed is powered off."

Make a complaint to Gu Xiangyi?

Gu Xiangyi would definitely smile placidly and ask, "What were you doing when my sister escaped?"

Could he say, "I was helping a beautiful woman fix a faucet? Couldn’t fix it, and we both got drenched..."

No, he couldn’t say that. He couldn’t say it for the life of him.

Having already dialed Gu Xiangyi’s number, Xu Xiangbei removed his finger from the call button. He couldn’t make this call.

However, Xu Xiangbei worried about Gu Xinyan—a girl on a wheelchair, where could she run to? Now, her phone was off. She was too willful. Perhaps it would be better if she remained always crippled, less troublesome.

Xu Xiangbei speculated that Gu Xinyan was likely with Liu Yuxing. He didn’t know why, but perhaps it was his sixth sense telling him Liu Yuxing was not a good guy.

He suddenly remembered that Liu Ningyan was also coming to Earth Sea, and he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, as if he had found a savior. He dialed Liu Ningyan’s number.

Xu Xiangbei eagerly asked, "Sis, where are you? Have you arrived in Earth Sea?"

Liu Ningyan laughed, "Brother Xu, I’m still in Jiangcheng, packing my luggage. I’ll fly to Earth Sea tomorrow. You’re already there?"

Hearing Liu Ningyan was still in Jiangcheng, Xu Xiangbei felt relieved and quickly said, "I need your help with something. Can you locate a cellphone? The owner’s phone is off; can it still be tracked?"

Liu Ningyan’s voice was relaxed, "Even if it’s off, it can be tracked."

"The owner of this phone is in Earth Sea. How long will it take to locate it?"

"Out of town, huh? Give me twenty minutes. Send me the number."

Xu Xiangbei hung up the phone and sent Liu Ningyan Gu Xinyan’s phone number. He chuckled, "Stinky girl, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I’ll find you."

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Ouyang Jiahui.

Ouyang Jiahui scolded him relentlessly over the phone, "How dare you use my name to harass my friend Ah Lin? I won’t let you get away with this."

Xu Xiangbei explained, "I was kindly trying to fix her faucet. Who knew the faucet was of poor quality? It broke at a critical moment and sprayed us with water. We fell together. It wasn’t my fault; I didn’t touch a hair on her head."

"You’d better go downstairs and buy a faucet to replace it for her and then apologize, or I won’t forgive you."

"Alright, I’ll see it through to the end. I’ll go out now and get her a new faucet."

Xu Xiangbei bought a brand-new faucet and, with tools in hand, went to Xiao Lin’s house and rang the doorbell.

Xiao Lin had also changed into clean clothes, a white pullover, and black tight-fitting leggings, accentuating her graceful and beautiful figure.

Her wet hair was tied on top of her head, and paired with her slender, fair neck, she looked quite tall. Xu Xiangbei felt she was a professional model.

Her eyes were still a bit red and swollen, with a tissue in her hand, implying she had just cried a lot.

Xu Xiangbei apologized, "Miss Xiao, I got you a new faucet. Earlier, it was all a misunderstanding. I had no intention of taking advantage of you. You don’t need to cry."

Xiao Lin gave a faint smile, "I’m not crying because of you. Are you confident you can fix the faucet this time?"

Realizing it wasn’t because of him, Xu Xiangbei felt relieved. He couldn’t bear to see a girl cry.

He held up the new all-copper faucet in his hand, "I got you the best quality, a brand faucet, all copper. The old one was too poor in quality and long overdue for a replacement."

After replacing the faucet for Xiao Lin, she carefully tested it several times. Everything worked fine. Watching the clear water flow from the tap, she smiled with satisfaction.

"You’ve worked hard, and you even got a new faucet. Let me treat you to dinner. We won’t eat out; I have some ham and long-life noodles in the fridge. I’ll make noodles for you."

Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but swallow, his desires reigniting, "Are you really going to make noodles for me?"

Xiao Lin’s beautiful blue eyes widened, "Don’t get the wrong idea. I mean I’ll cook noodles for you as a thank you for fixing the faucet and to make up for the mental trauma I caused you earlier."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "Miss Xiao, you’re not only beautiful but also kind at heart. Whoever becomes your boyfriend is really lucky."

"Am I beautiful? There are plenty of girls prettier than me. In our group, I’m considered the ugliest."

"What group is it? Can I join, the basketball team or the football team?"

"It’s a model team."

Xu Xiangbei sat down on the couch, his hand casually flipping through an album on the coffee table. It was filled with Xiao Lin’s photos from childhood to adulthood.

Even as a child, Xiao Lin was particularly beautiful. Many photos showed her doing splits, dancing, and playing the piano. Her mother was just as beautiful as she was.

It seemed Xiao Lin’s mother had high hopes for her daughter from a young age, nurturing her to be talented and skilled in various areas.

Xu Xiangbei stared at Xiao Lin lecherously, puzzled, "You can dance and play the piano?"

Xiao Lin looked proud, and with a swift leg kick, she effortlessly lifted her slender leg over her head.

Xu Xiangbei clapped excitedly, "Amazing, amazing. From the first moment I saw you, I felt you were a professional model. I’m pretty good at judging people."

As he continued to browse through the photo album, Xu Xiangbei suddenly noticed a photo of Xiao Lin and Liu Yuxing embracing intimately. He examined it closely; it had to be that playboy Liu Yuxing.
