Chapter 17 - Little Zhang, Quickly Run! (2/2)

Look at her and then look back at himself?

Hai, sometimes the Heavens were unfair. Some people had things that he would not be able to obtain, even if he worked hard all his life. If he had such excellent looks like Rao Aimin by being handsome and tall… The thought about becoming a celebrity? To ability to develop his career? It could at least reduce the hard work he needed to do by a decade!

It would be great if this world did not judge people by their looks. This was something that Zhang Ye had always felt helpless against. Look at the television programs from his world. What sort of rotten programs were “The Voice of China” and “Super Boy”!?

Why weren’t there compet.i.tions like “The Leg Hair of China”?

Why weren’t there pageants like “Super Leg Hair 2014”?

If the artistic realm did not discriminate and had ranks in the artistic world, then if he could make leg hair become popular, then Zhang Ye would not have such a low starting point. He would not have needed to endure the criticisms and difficulty in becoming an unseen radio host.

Forget it. There was no time to think about this!

Zhang Ye walked sideways as he slowly moved around the bathtub’s curtain. After spending thirty seconds, he managed to reach the outermost part of the curtain. The opening to the curtain was also where Rao Aimin’s head was. Rao Aimin was enjoying her bath and had already lathered up a lot of foam with her hands. Zhang Ye took a final reluctant look at her fully-foamed body, before squeezing out of the curtain. He had also accidentally touched a strand of the landlady’s hair, but thankfully she did not notice it.

The hair tickled him when it brushed past Zhang Ye’s thigh.

There was less than 20 seconds left to his invisibility!

Zhang Ye did not have time to reminiscence, as he gently grabbed his clothes from the was.h.i.+ng basket beside the was.h.i.+ng machine. He silently took a few deep breaths. Thankfully, the landlady threw her clothes onto the was.h.i.+ng machine and not into the clothes basket, or else she would have felt that something was amiss after seeing Zhang Ye’s clothes.

Next, he needed to leave the bathroom. There was no way to hide the sound of opening the door, but Zhang Ye could not care less. Waiting any further would expose him, hence he carefully held the door handle!

Ka!

The door made a sound!

Before he could rush out, the voice of the landlady came in a killing fas.h.i.+on, “…Who?”

The curtain was sewn, but it was not impossible to look out. Zhang Ye knew this, so he did not even wait before rus.h.i.+ng out the bathroom. Only then did he pretend to open a door from the outside and say in a cold sweat, “Uh, Landlady auntie, it’s me. Are you back?”

Rao Aimin’s voice came from inside, “Oh, it’s you. Heh, why are you still in my house? Why didn’t I see you when I returned home?”

Zhang Ye immediately answered, “Oh, I was outside helping you wipe the windows.”

“Really? You sure are quite dedicated. Alright. I’m still bathing. Since you did well, you can come here for dinner tonight!” Rao Aimin said.

Zhang Ye said, “Alright, then I’ll go back first.”

Rao Aimin said, “Alright, scram.”

Zhang Ye heaved a sigh of relief as the duration of the invisibility potion expired. Seeing his body slowly turning visible, he wore his clothes and dried the wet stains he had left behind with a cloth to remove the evidence of his crime… After cleaning up the scene, he left Rao Aimin’s house.

Today, his heart nearly failed!
