Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 343: Meeting Teacher Chu Again

Xu Xiangbei was jogging along the beautiful artificial lake when suddenly a small golden-haired Teddy dog stormed out from the nearby grove, barking fiercely at Xu Xiangbei.

Such a tiny Teddy, Xu Xiangbei didn’t take it seriously.

However, due to a poor night’s sleep and the effects of alcohol, he was startled by the sudden emergence of the little dog, instinctively swayed his body, and stepped on a smooth stone.

He slipped, lost his balance, and fell into the artificial lake.

With a splash, water splattered everywhere, he felt like a stone sinking down.

Upon falling into the water, Xu Xiangbei was pleasantly surprised to find the artificial lake water was clear and pristine, just like a piece of emerald crystal, glistening and translucent.

At that moment, all around was peaceful, and the bright sunshine projected onto the lake, like a beam of holy light, making him want to stay underwater for a while before coming up.

Suddenly, another splash echoed.

It dimmed above his head as someone jumped in, and then an arm wrapped around his neck, and a soft body pressed close to him, dragging him towards the shore. Who was so eager, mistaking him for someone who accidentally fell into the water and saving him.

His rescuer was a girl wearing a white sports shirt, her delicate and beautiful face shining under the sun, Xu Xiangbei instantly recognized her, and the girl also recognized him.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, then laughed simultaneously.

"Teacher Chu, how come it’s you."

"Dr. Xu, turns out it’s you."

Xu Xiangbei grinned mischievously: "Teacher Chu, you saved my life, I can only offer myself to you, you must marry me."

Teacher Chu’s face turned slightly red, and chided lightly: "I haven’t seen you for months, you’re still as glib as ever, I don’t want to marry you, I don’t need you to repay me, I’m planning to throw you back into the lake."

Xu Xiangbei gently held Teacher Chu’s fair and tender shoulder, with a familiar, teasing look: "Throwing back won’t work, I’m sticking with you for life."

Shaking off Xu Xiangbei’s hand, she ran towards her own house: "I’m soaked through, I have to go home and change."

Xu Xiangbei, like a cat who’d smelled fish, chased after relentlessly: "Your house is in this Zijin Villa District, huh? How coincidental, I just moved in the past couple of days, which building is yours?"

Hearing Xu Xiangbei say he just moved in, a flash of surprise gleamed in Teacher Chu’s beautiful eyes: "Oh, could you be the Dr. Xu my brother mentioned? I was at your house last night with my brother."

Now it was Xu Xiangbei’s turn to be dumbfounded: "Your brother is Shen Congru?"

Teacher Chu’s smile blossomed like a flower: "Yes, how do you know him?"

Xu Xiangbei was a bit puzzled: "Is he your biological brother? You have the surname Chu, and he has the surname Shen, aren’t they different?"

Teacher Chu’s eyes flashed with disdain: "In this era, must siblings have the same surname to be blood-related? My mom’s surname is Chu, and I took her surname, my brother took our dad’s surname, can you understand that? I’m home, goodbye Dr. Xu."

Watching Teacher Chu walk into her house, Xu Xiangbei chuckled: "Aren’t you going to invite me into your house?"

Teacher Chu decisively answered: "NO."

Watching Teacher Chu’s graceful silhouette disappear from sight, Xu Xiangbei whistled and could only return resentfully to his villa.

Ouyang Jiahui and Gu Xinyan were sitting in the living room having breakfast, laughing and chatting. Seeing Xu Xiangbei come in all wet, both looked surprised.

Ouyang Jiahui’s eyes sparkled with a smile: "Brother Xu, what happened to you, is it raining outside?"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, striking a pose he deemed elegant: "I just saw the artificial lake outside was so clear and clean, so I jumped in for a swim. Do you want to join me for a swim?"

The ladies both showed disdainful expressions, while Gu Xinyan looked as if he was hopeless: "So uncultured, how could you swim in the artificial lake? There’s a swimming pool outside the district. Moving from Jiangcheng to Earth Sea, from a low-grade district to a high-end one, yet your manners haven’t improved?"

Ouyang Jiahui eyed him sharply, with a sneer full of disregard: "Brother Xu, stop pretending, if I’m not mistaken, you must have accidentally fallen in, yet you say you went swimming in the lake, what a face-saver."

Xu Xiangbei pulled a long face, returned to his bedroom, changed into clean clothes, and dried his wet hair with a towel.

Despite the early morning misstep into the water, Xu Xiangbei was still excited because today Emperor’s Pavilion officially became his property, and it’s also the grand reopening day of Emperor’s Pavilion.

He snatched a buttered piece of bread from Gu Xinyan’s plate, shoved it into his mouth, prompting Gu Xinyan to swat at him with chopsticks, but couldn’t hit him at all.

He then snatched a cranberry cookie from Ouyang Jiahui’s plate, grinning at them: "Today is the grand reopening of Emperor’s Pavilion, come have lunch with me, there’s a big gift package to give away."

Gu Xinyan waved her slender white finger and wrinkled her nose helplessly: "Too bad, today we are starting to film, Lu Xiaomei and I have to return to the set for accommodation, you go with Ouyang Jiahui."

Ouyang Jiahui swung her explosive Pomelo Head, looking as if she couldn’t help: "I have drafts to review today, and the day after tomorrow is the deadline, I have to review five column layouts all by myself, it’s a pain, need to work overtime, sorry, can’t accompany you."

Gu Xinyan pointed upstairs, smiling ambiguously: "Liu Ningyan and Chen Yan are here, you have so many confidantes, you’ll surely find someone to accompany you."

After saying that, Gu Xinyan pressed the wheelchair button into the elevator, and Ouyang Jiahui also grabbed a cookie, slung her small bag, and dashed out of the villa, throwing back: "Remember to extend my congratulations to Zhou Ping, wish you a successful opening."

"Thanks, got it."

Xu Xiangbei polished off the leftover breakfast on the table. As the elevator dinged, the door slowly opened, and Lu Xiaomei wheeled Gu Xinyan out of the elevator, with a suitcase at Gu Xinyan’s feet.

Feeling a wave of reluctance, Xu Xiangbei smiled: "Do you want me to take you to the set?"

Gu Xinyan smiled slightly: "No need, Ouyang Jiahui has already arranged for Dongfang Bai to pick me up to go to the set this morning."

A crisp sound of leather shoes came from outside, and Dongfang Bai’s handsome and tall figure appeared at the door, holding keys: "Brother Xu, I’m also heading to the set, it just so happens to be on the way, I promised Miss Gu to pick her up for the set."
