Chapter 16 - The Door Opened! (1/2)

Rao’s house.

Second floor, in the bathroom.

“The bath water is done.” Zhang Ye shouted from inside.

The landlady seemed to be on the phone and, after a while, she responded, “I can’t bathe. I need to go out and will only come back in the afternoon!”

“Ah? What are you doing?” Zhang Ye asked.

“What I do is none of your business!” Big Sis Rao’s voice was never friendly. “I’ll leave the house for you to tidy up. Clean it well. Especially those windows on the South side. I’m leaving. Remember to close the door after you leave and don’t touch my items!”

With a slam, the door on the first floor closed.

There was only Zhang Ye in the house. After he grumbled and complained a few times, he did not sit idle and began working hard. He knew Big Sis Rao was tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. Many of the tenants may complain about her venomous tongue, but many of them had received help from her. Zhang Ye was one of them. Every time he hadn’t eaten, wasn’t it Big Sis Rao who settled his meals? Hence, he knew to be grateful. Since he had agreed to clean up her house, he naturally did so properly. After working hard all day, Zhang Ye was done and was covered in sweat. It was already noon, so he finished the remaining two vegetable-stuffed buns.

As the ancient saying goes, when the belly is full, the mind is among the maids…Er, that’s not right.

As the ancient saying goes, one should have an afternoon nap after having one’s meal and get a well-deserved weekend.

Zhang Ye did not plan on going against the ancient sayings. However, he could not rest with his body sweaty. He eyed the bathtub in Rao’s house with evil intentions. All Zhang Ye had in his bathroom was a shower tap. It wasn’t thrilling enough, while Big Sis Rao’s bathtub was a big bathtub. Zhang Ye had never enjoyed the sensation of bathing in a bathtub. Furthermore, he had filled it with hot water before, so it would be a waste not to use it. So although Rao Aimin had warned Zhang Ye not to touch her things, Zhang Ye did not heed the warning. After all, she would only return in the afternoon.

Her house had two bathrooms and the bathroom in question was in Rao Aimin’s bedroom, upstairs.

The bathroom was large and the bathtub was very wide. Touching the water, Zhang Ye found that it was still warm.

Zhang Ye closed the door and began taking off his clothes. He threw his underwear and T-s.h.i.+rt into a clothes basket that was beside the was.h.i.+ng machine and laid down in the bathtub. After he pulled the white curtain, he comfortably heaved a sigh of relief. Soon, he closed his eyes involuntarily as it was an extreme enjoyment.

Half an hour…

One hour…

Unknowingly, he had fallen asleep.

When Zhang Ye opened his eyes again, he was awoken by the slamming of a door nearby. He realized the water’s temperature was no longer hot.

“Phew, this d.a.m.n sun is really burning me up!” The voice of a woman speaking to herself came from beyond the curtain!

Who was talking?

The landlady was back!

Zhang Ye immediately reacted. His face was green. Sh*t, why is she back so early? Didn’t she say…Heh, what do you mean early? He had slept so soundly. Zhang Ye was in a panic. He felt like he had been caught red-handed and felt extremely embarra.s.sed. But no matter what he did now, it was useless. Zhang Ye tilted his head and looked through the gap of the curtain, thinking of admitting his mistake.

However, just this peek made it worse!
