Xu Xiangbei was in the room, calming his restless emotions.
Whoa!
The woman in the hall sure has a powerful impact, she's like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
He took a few deep breaths of fresh air, stayed in the room for a moment, and waited for the crackling fire in his heart to burn out before taking the hairdryer and leaving the room.
"Here's the hairdryer you wanted." Xu Xiangbei handed over the hairdryer, Gu Xiangyi glared at Xu Xiangbei and snatched the hairdryer from his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Gu Xiangyi was drying her hair while probing the man next to her: "By the way, are you a local from Jiangcheng?"
"No, from Yangzhou." Xu Xiangbei sat on the sofa, watching Gu Xiangyi as she bent down to blow her hair. From different angles, the beauty opposite was truly captivating.
No wonder he didn't know Chen Ban City; turns out he's just a naive outsider.
Gu Xiangyi still remained nonchalant, asking: "Why were you showering at home with the door ajar?"
If the door had been properly locked, how could a weak girl like Gu Xiangyi possibly force her way in, get into the villa, and then into his bathroom?
Xu Xiangbei shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile: "Do you think I need to lock the door of this room? Or for that matter, does it matter if this villa even has a door?"
Recalling the man's terrifying skills, it was indeed irrelevant whether the villa doors were locked or even existed. Gu Xiangyi subtly asked: "Which school did you learn your skills from? Your kung fu looks quite impressive."
"Please, what do you mean by 'looks'? It's genuinely impressive. It's family-taught genuine skills, why would I need to learn from others?" Xu Xiangbei smiled confidently with a raised corner of his mouth.
Gu Xiangyi gave a cold snort. Family-taught genuine skills? Who's he trying to fool?
Seeing she wasn't getting any information, her hair was already dry.
Gu Xiangyi stood up, glaring at Xu Xiangbei, whose eyes were still roaming over her, and said: "I'll go wash my clothes now."
"Please! This is my house, isn't it? You've showered and dried your hair, isn't it time to leave?" Xu Xiangbei asked as he looked at Gu Xiangyi, who showed no intention of leaving, with his head tilted back.
Gu Xiangyi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Xu Xiangbei on the sofa and smiled sweetly: "By the way, I noticed this villa is quite large, and you live here alone. Can I rent a room to stay here? I noticed the scenery is quite nice. Of course, I won't stay for free; I'll pay you. Look, your second and third floors are empty anyway, aren't they?"
Eh?
This stunning beauty wants to move in with me?
Having a moving ticking time bomb in the villa from now on?
"This Spring Villa is also a nice villa area in Jiangcheng, I'll give you ten thousand a month for rent, how about that?" Gu Xiangyi looked at Xu Xiangbei and began to tempt him.
"Of course... no problem." Xu Xiangbei joyfully got up from the sofa, extended his hand enthusiastically, and said: "Hi, I'm Xu Xiangbei. From now on, we'll be living under the same roof, let's take care of each other."
This villa costs Xu Xiangbei twenty thousand a month in rent.
Gu Xiangyi only needed one room, covering half the rent.
Even a pig would jump at this deal.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei extending his hand, with his eyes still wandering over her, Gu Xiangyi, in order to drag this man down, still gave him a micro smile, extended her hand symbolically to shake his indecent hand, and said reluctantly: "Gu Xiangyi. We're sharing the place, not living together!"
"Same thing, the same thing, we're all under one roof." Xu Xiangbei chuckled, firmly gripping Gu Xiangyi's jade-like hand, asking with a smile and in a slowed-down voice: "By the way, Xiangyi, are you married?"
It's an open secret what's on his mind!
Gu Xiangyi became even more disgusted with Xu Xiangbei; this man was truly shameless. Holding her hand, he had the audacity to not let go.
"Single." Gu Xiangyi answered stiffly, quickly using force to pull her hand back from Xu Xiangbei's grip.
But Xu Xiangbei's large hand was like an iron clamp, how could Gu Xiangyi pull it back?
"Single, really nice, really nice." Xu Xiangbei lightly patted Gu Xiangyi's jade-like hand, truly feeling the fragrance condensed as if it were jade with a snowy white glow.
Soft and sticky, as gentle as jade itself.
Gu Xiangyi's pretty face was instantly covered with frost: "Can you let go of my hand now?"
Eh?
Xu Xiangbei's expression turned dark as he reluctantly released Gu Xiangyi's delicate hand, smiling and saying: "By the way, are you looking for a boyfriend lately?"
"What do you want?" Gu Xiangyi's voice grew colder.
"What do you think?"
Xu Xiangbei chuckled softly, asking back gently.
Who wouldn't have an idea about a woman like this?
Gu Xiangyi instantly heard the laziness in Xu Xiangbei's words, her eyes immediately casting a cold glare.
The room's temperature seemed to drop all of a sudden.
Eh?
Xu Xiangbei sensed Gu Xiangyi's murderous aura, finally giving an awkward smile and saying: "What luck, I don't have a girlfriend either. How about I become your boyfriend, what do you think?"
Shameless!
How can anyone be so shameless!
Gu Xiangyi, fuming with rage, blushed a bit, coldly replied: "Not interested. Let me make it clear now, you're not my type."
"What type do you like?" Xu Xiangbei was not discouraged at all.
Gu Xiangyi replied coldly, word by word, "Definitely not your type!"
"But there has to be a standard, right?" Xu Xiangbei persistently inquired.
Gu Xiangyi's patience had run out, with her face covered in frost, she coldly replied: "At least, someone with some decency."
...
A bit awkward.
Quite awkward.
Xu Xiangbei watched the soon-to-explode Gu Xiangyi and finally sat back on the sofa, weakly saying: "Well, if you'd considered me as a boyfriend, I could've reduced your rent by a hundred a month. But now it seems there's no need. It's ten thousand a month without utilities, and don't forget this month's rent."
Gu Xiangyi shook her head with a cold face.
If Xu Xiangbei wasn't skilled, able to deal with Chen Ban City, ensuring her safety.
Then, Gu Xiangyi would absolutely refuse to live under the same roof as this man.
Not even for a minute! Not even for a second!
"If there's nothing else, I'll go wash the clothes." Gu Xiangyi took a deep breath, suppressing her inner anger, and spoke calmly.
Xu Xiangbei looked up, watching Gu Xiangyi's angry trembling figure, and said: "You're wearing my shirt, getting angry isn't good, it might be revealing!"
Gu Xiangyi swore she had never seen a man as shameless as this one.
From the depths of her heart, she'd never loathed a man as much as she did today.
Hmph.
Gu Xiangyi snorted coldly, quickly walked towards the bathroom to get her clothes.
"By the way, I'm a good person and like doing good deeds. Since this is your first time moving in, as the host, I should at least offer something." Xu Xiangbei sat on the sofa, offering: "How about I hand-wash the clothes you wore today?"
"Get lost!"
In the villa, Gu Xiangyi's crisp and resounding shout echoed.
Oh my.
Gu Xiangyi suddenly realized, in a moment of impulse, she decided to live under the same roof as this man.
In the end, is it right or wrong?
