Chapter 399: Chapter 400 The Price of Peeping
After walking into the bathroom, I quickly took off the clothes that had an awful smell and turned on the showerhead. Just when I was adjusting the water temperature, I heard Dongfang that little brat loudly praise, “This is really delicious. What is this thing?”
“Civet stewed with turtle whip. The restaurant we went to originally did not have this dish, but your Elder Brother Nan specifically asked them to make it. But I didn’t expect that they could still make it so delicious. Yuan Yuan, you should try it too.” Dong Xiaoye said with a m.u.f.fled voice. She was obviously busy eating while talking.
Chu Yuan seemed to have come out of her room. She sighed, “Elder Sister Xiaoye, how can you have an appet.i.te to eat after what just happened? I’m still shaking just thinking about it. I really don’t have the appet.i.te. I’m going to give clothes to my elder brother.”
Clothes? I was dazed. All I thought about earlier was to take a shower as soon as possible. I actually forgot to get a new set of clothes.
‘What happened?” Dongfang Lianren was a little curious, but her focus of concern was still on the food. Probably that was why she was a great cook, “I know what civet is, But what is turtle whip? Their tails?”
Chu Yuan arrived before the bathroom door. While knocking at the door, she answered Dongfang Lianren, “I don’t know. I have asked them several times, but they didn’t tell me.”
Who would want to explain that to a little girl? Hiding behind the door, I only opened a small gap to show my head, lest they would see my naked body. Just when I wanted to ask Chu Yuan, who was talking to Dongfang with her back to me, to pa.s.s me the clothes, I heard Dong Xiaoye laughed loudly, “You wouldn’t dare to eat it, if we explained it.”
“Wouldn’t dare to eat it?” Dongfang filled another bowl again and said with a smile, “I have eaten fried gra.s.shoppers, fried cicada pupa, and live scorpion before. Why would I be scared of eating this thing?”
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but shiver, “So disgusting…” Chu Yuan was very timid, so she didn’t touch any dishes that had scary names.
“See? Yuan Yuan wouldn’t dare to eat it.” Probably when girls were talking to each other, they would be less reserved. Dong Xiaoye actually said, “If I tell you that turtle whip is the turtle’s pee-pee, would you still dare to eat it?”
“Pfff- ” As soon as Dong Xiaoye’s words just fell, Dongfang Lianren spat all the soup on her face, “WHAT!? This thing is… it’s turtle… blargh—”
Chu Yuan’s reaction was not slow either. She exclaimed, “You, you mean the bowl of tiger whip I ate tonight was…”
“Yeah,” Probably because we were home and the Sister Tiger was much more relaxed, or maybe the alcohol finally went to her head, she wiped her face with her hand and chuckled, “That’s why that thing is very good for men. Why are you so surprised? Did you not know that the whip is another word for…”
Chu Yuan no longer wanted to hear Dong Xiaoye’s explanation. She turned around and wanted to bang on the bathroom door, “Chu Nan! You are dead! You actually let me eat that kind of disgusting stuff!”
‘When did I let you eat it? At most, I only didn’t tell you what it was.’ I felt wronged. When Chu Yuan’s fist hit the door, the door was knocked back and hit my face.
This bratty girl, did she not see that I had already opened a small gap? As I moved back a few steps while holding my face in pain, the door also moved, it could no longer cover my naked body.
Seeing my naked body and looking at the clothes in her arms, Chu Yuan realized something, and she blushed instantly. It was just at this moment, Dongfang Lianren rushed toward the bathroom while covering her mouth, “Elder Brother Nan, open the door, I’m going to throw up!”
Chu Yuan was startled. “No! Dongfang, my Elder Brother is… ow~!”
Before Chu Yuan was able to turn around to stop Dongfang, she was pushed into the bathroom by Dongfang. Then all three of us were stunned.
Chu Yuan forgot that she needed to pa.s.s me the clothes, Dongfang Lianren also forgot that she wanted to throw up. The temperature on both of their faces was increasing rapidly.
Maybe it was because of the topic they had just now, both girls couldn’t help but shift their gazes to my crotch. Not all men like to expose their bodies in front of women, not to mention two girls. I hurriedly closed my legs and covered the Little Chu Nan with my hands. Showing an embarra.s.sed smile, I said awkwardly, “Hmm, I’ve not put on clothes yet, can you come back in later?”
“AH!”
“AH!”
Both girls screamed and ran out of the bathroom at the same time, feeling extremely embarra.s.sed. However, before I could feel relieved, Dong Xiaoye walked into the bathroom, looking at the two girls that were running away in panic, and asked in confusion, “What happened? Why are they screaming? Ah!—”
It was another scream. However, Sister Tiger didn’t run. Instead, she lifted her leg subconsciously and threw a kick at my crotch, “You pervert!”
‘Who is the pervert here?’ While I couldn’t move my hands away from my crotch, the drunk Sister Tiger pressed me to the ground and began to punch me repeatedly…
I could only scream in pain. Alas, the retribution for seeing her naked body finally arrived. I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly inside.
. . .
Chu Yuan didn’t allow me to get into my room. She was sleeping with Dongfang tonight. I lay on the simple sofa that was made of a few chairs but was unable to fall asleep. The first reason was that I was worried that Dongfang little brat would take advantage of her. The second reason was that the bruises left by Dong Xiaoye’s punches still hurt. And the last reason was that whenever I closed my eyes, the image of the wounded Liu Xiaosheng would appear in my mind…
So I tried to think of some other things to distract myself, such as Dong Xiaoye’s violent behavior just now… She was really strange. When she found out that I saw her naked body, although she still felt embarra.s.sed, she could remain calm. But after she saw my naked body, she completely lost her mind.
Sure enough, women were tigers, they were much more fierce than wolves. This was once again proven true using my personal experience.
Just when I was thinking about this, my mobile phone rang. It was Liusu who called me. She asked me if I had come back to my flat, whether I was already in bed, and some other caring questions. It made me feel a lot better.
The moment I hung up Liusu’s call, my mobile phone rang again. Unexpectedly, this time, it was Shu Tong.
“You are not going to sleep anytime soon, right…”
“I am.”
“Who are you trying to fool? I just came out of my cousin’s room. I heard what you told her.”
Seriously? Since when did Liusu become so thick-skinned? She actually let Shu Tong listen to our private conversation? Even if they had a great relationship, they shouldn’t share this kind of thing, right? I smiled bitterly and asked, “What is it? Do you want to learn from your cousin and comfort me, or do you want me ,this fake boyfriend, to comfort you?”
The reason why I wanted to joke with her was that I didn’t know what to say to her. I didn’t know much about the relationship between her and Liu Xiaosheng. I didn’t want to gloat over Liu Xiaosheng’s misfortune, nor did I want to say that I was sympathetic with what had happened to him. This kind of feeling was very contradictory.
“Why do you need to comfort me? Is there anything I need you to comfort me with?” The cold tone she had now was quite different from the tone she normally had.
I sighed, “Liu Xiaosheng…”
“I feel sorry for what happened to him, but that’s all,” Shu Tong interrupted me.
She seemed to know what I wanted to say in advance. “But, Chu Nan, you don’t even have any reason to feel sorry for him, do you know that? Because what happened to Liu Xiaosheng today was exactly what he wanted to do to you, and you should know better than I do… If something really happened to you today, how do you want me to face my cousin?”
Shu Tong’s voice was trembling. There was obvious fear in her tone. I could even tell that she was crying, “Ms. Shu…”
“Call me cousin, or just call me by my name,” Shu Tong said reluctantly. “I owe you so much that I can’t speak ill of you in front of my cousin anymore. Compared with Liu Xiaosheng, you are a better man… So there is no need to address me so politely.”
Was she trying to tell me that she now acknowledged my relationship with Liusu?
I tried to comfort her, “Actually, the conflict between Liu Xiaosheng and me doesn’t have much to do with you. So you don’t need to feel…”
Shu Tong was silent for a while and then said softly, “I know he hates you because of Mo Fei…”
