Chapter 718 Still on vacation (2/2)
Sitting on a chair in the balcony next door to his, Zhao Ya'Er held a cup in one hand as her other hand was near her mouth. She was brushing her teeth but had stopped when she suddenly saw Xu Long.
Her expression was one of astonishment at the assistant���s yawning manners, yet, at the time she was amused. However, when her eyes lower a bit, she choked on her saliva at the sight of his partially exposed body.
”Ahhh--!”
A shrieking scream of a little girl's voice sounds, but it was not from Zhao Ya'Er. It came from Xu Long. He quickly straightens his posture but covers his chest with one arm as the other covers his legs.
His scream carried on like he was hitting every high note in a song until he ran out of air and coughs. Without making another sound, he spins around and darts back inside his penthouse.
”…”
Zhao Ya'Er was struck speechless by what just happened. She spat into the cup she was holding and stares with a perplex expression at Xu Long's balcony.
Why did he scream like that? Did she do something wrong?
Her eyes blinked a few times then she shrugs her shoulders and walks back to her penthouse. She had only come out here to brush her teeth and didn't think she would see him.
However, the image of Xu Long's body enters her mind again and she shakes her head.
”He has a very nice and toned figure. Too bad he swings the other way.”
Oblivious to the woman who had seen him, Xu Long was in a frantic mess. He leaned against the door with his back and both his arms slightly spread at his side. It was like he was trying to keep an intruder from entering.
”Why… why… why…”
His chest heaved heavily at the shock and embarrassing situation that fell upon him. He squeezes his eyes shut and sobs without any tears.
”Why did she have to see me like this?”
He raises one hand to slap his forehead a few times and continues to cry. It is always him who encounters such bad luck with women.
”I haven't even gotten the chance to explain the misunderstanding of my relationship with Lin Hui.”
His eyes open with moisture and he stares up at the ceiling like he was looking at the heavens above.
”Why am I the only one who faces such embarrassment?”
He is the kind of person who likes to lounge around in his briefs on his days off. Of course, it wasn't all the time.
However, if he could see into the future, he would have worn some clothes before stepping out onto the balcony or at least secured his robe in place.
It was already embarrassing enough that Zhao Ya'Er, who is way out of his league thinks he likes men. Now, she even got to see this unmanly side of him. What will she think?
He sobs again in sympathy for himself and tilts his head forward. Looking at his exposed upper body, he sighs again and slaps his toned abs.
”Well, on the bright side, my body didn't embarrass me.”
Taking a deep breath, he drags his legs to the lavatory to get ready for his day. He also didn't forget to think of a way to explain all the misunderstandings to his pretty neighbor.
