Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 77: Breaking into the Heart

When Xu Xiangbei mentioned treating her leg, Gu Xinyan felt a wave of excitement inside.

Although he’s always so slick and unrestrained, he does have the skill to enable her to stand.

She recalled the last time Xu Xiangbei treated her leg, and it indeed worked quite well.

However, that scenario was slightly awkward, somewhat ambiguous.

After all, it was the first time letting a man get so close to her.

Thinking of this made her heart beat like a drum, a flush of excitement flashed across her pale face, and her eyes turned shy.

Xu Xiangbei threw his underwear on the sofa and went to a supermarket next to the villa to buy some pork ribs and potatoes, intending to make a potato and rib stew for Gu Xinyan.

Just as Xu Xiangbei got the ribs on the stove, he heard a loud bang from upstairs.

He hurriedly rushed to the third floor but found Gu Xinyan’s room locked, with vague sounds coming from inside.

Could something have happened to Gu Xinyan? If something happened to her, how would he explain to her sister? In a rush, Xu Xiangbei forced the door open with a palm strike and dashed in.

What he saw inside was an unimaginable scene.

Gu Xinyan was lying on the floor, looking pained.

It turned out that after Xu Xiangbei left, Gu Xinyan, out of boredom, looked through some new underwear on the sofa and tried them on.

As she stood for too long, her calf cramped painfully when she tried to grab the wheelchair but forgot to lock its wheels. The wheelchair rolled forward and hit the door, making a world-shaking noise, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Xiangbei felt a flame rise from his lower abdomen, shooting straight to his head. The sight of Gu Xinyan was quite captivating.

Lying on the ground, Gu Xinyan wished she could find a hole to crawl into, anxiously shouting, "What are you looking at? Help me up."

Xu Xiangbei helped Gu Xinyan onto the bed, his gaze welded to her as if fixated.

Gu Xinyan burst into tears, biting her red lips tight, crying like raindrops on a pear blossom. Xu Xiangbei, seeing this, thought it was because he had offended her, hence the tears, and felt ashamed, reluctantly covering her enchanting body with a quilt.

Though Xu Xiangbei lusted silently, he had a tender, protective heart and could not bear to see a girl cry; it softened him immediately.

"I’m sorry, I barged in because I was worried you might be hurt."

"It’s okay, I’m not blaming you; I just hate myself for being unable to stand, for being useless."

Hearing Gu Xinyan wasn’t blaming him, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but feel his heart swell, continuing to glance at Gu Xinyan, swallowing hard.

"Let’s go downstairs to eat; you can walk like a normal person, but it will take time. Your muscles have atrophied due to long periods of inactivity. As long as you persist, someday you will move as freely as we do."

Gu Xinyan felt much better, thinking he was only capable of crude jokes, only to find his words could also be uplifting.

Feeling better, her appetite returned as well; she suddenly felt incredibly hungry and gently asked, "Is the food ready? I’m starving."

Suddenly, Xu Xiangbei’s eyes widened with shock, as if he had seen a ghost, scaring Gu Xinyan, "What’s wrong with you, possessed?"

"My potato and rib stew."

Xu Xiangbei let out a pig-slaughtering scream and dashed downstairs with the speed of a hundred-meter dash, coming back up with a dejected face, "Half of it’s burnt."

Gu Xinyan was already dressed, with a slight smile on her face, realizing Xu Xiangbei could also make mistakes, "Half burnt means the other half isn’t. Just don’t eat it; it’s enough for me. Bring me my wheelchair."

Xu Xiangbei found pushing the wheelchair a struggle; a wheel had gotten bent. He leaned in mischievously, "Your wheelchair’s wheel is broken, what are you going to do if you can’t go downstairs?"

Gu Xinyan blushed a little, "Then can you bring the food up for me?"

Xu Xiangbei grinned lecherously, "I worked so hard cooking, and I even have to bring it up to you, what will you reward me with?"

Knowing Xu Xiangbei was up to no good, Gu Xinyan curled up like a kitten, "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Reward me by letting me carry you downstairs."

Before Gu Xinyan could react, Xu Xiangbei scooped her up and carried her over his shoulders.

Gu Xinyan’s face turned pale with fright, but as she held onto Xu Xiangbei’s broad shoulders, a sense of security blossomed within her, allowing him to carry her with ease.

Carrying Gu Xinyan was like carrying a bride on his back; Xu Xiangbei grinned from ear to ear.

His hands cradled Gu Xinyan’s soft buttocks, the delicate body on his back felt like warm jade, thrilling him into an adrenaline rush as if on a high.

Bringing Gu Xinyan to the side of the dining room, Xu Xiangbei started bustling about like a homemaker.

He took the unburnt ribs from the wok to a plate, then served two bowls of steaming white rice from the rice cooker, bringing them over together.

Though half the ribs were burnt, the other half carried a slightly smoky flavor. Gu Xinyan either was really hungry or had never tasted smoked ribs before, finding them incredibly delicious.

Gu Xinyan, unlike usual, ate with restraint, changed her elegant sipping and nibbling to wolfing down the ribs voraciously.

Soon, her slender, tender hands were covered in grease, yet the meal felt unusually flavorful to her.

Seeing Gu Xinyan eat with such gusto, Xu Xiangbei beamed, serving a fragrant bowl of sweet soup, "Is it good? I made red date and lotus seed soup to replenish your energy."

Nibbling on ribs, drinking sweet soup, sweetness filled both her mouth and her heart.

Everything this man did was what she had long dreamt of.

Having disabled legs, she always kept her heart closed, letting no one in but her sister.

She always hoped a man could take care of her and protect her as her sister did, a hope that increasingly felt like a luxury.

But today, Xu Xiangbei’s tall, strong figure broke in, stirring a ripple, planting seeds that rooted deeply.

Nonetheless, Xu Xiangbei didn’t change his nature, staring at Gu Xinyan’s curvaceous figure, he grinned lecherously, "Heh, to be honest, you look really good today."
