Chapter 9

Zhu Kun ultimately swallowed the black pill.

The pressure from Gu Fan was immense, so much so that he felt he would die if he did not agree.

This was an extremely strong intuition, and under this intuition, Zhu Kun did not dare to have the slightest bit of侥幸 (侥幸 means侥幸, but in this context, it can be translated as '侥幸' or '侥幸').

"At midnight tonight, you will experience one percent of the pain brought by the pill. Don't worry, it won't last long, and you won't die. I just want you to know that I'm not lying. Now, take your people and get lost!" Gu Fan said coldly.

After all, this was within a residential area. Although there were few pedestrians, there were always some people around. If things continued, more people would gather. Gu Fan did not want to be so high-profile and thought it best to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

"Go!" Zhu Kun was the first to rush into the car, and his gang of subordinates also scrambled to get in.

In their eyes, Gu Fan was already a devil-like existence. The farther away from him, the better, which would make them feel slightly safer.

They came with a fierce momentum but left in such a miserable state. This contrast was something no one involved had ever expected.

Zhu Kun and his gang drove away, and Gu Fan also quickly left, his face showing a hint of shyness, worried about being discovered.

Building 18, Unit 3, Room 301!

Taking out the key and opening the door, Gu Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

Today was truly eventful. From encountering Huang Lelè, the series of events that followed made Gu Fan feel the charm of the vast world for the first time. This was something he had never experienced before. Or perhaps... the many things he had participated in with his master in the past did not give him such a strong feeling.

Maybe it was because his master was always by his side back then, making Gu Fan just a supporting role. But now, Gu Fan was the true and only protagonist.

"Ah!" Just as Gu Fan entered the door and was summarizing everything that had happened today, he was awakened by a loud scream.

Only then did Gu Fan notice that there was someone in the room! And it was a woman, and the most critical point was that this woman was not wearing any clothes...

Her tall and slender figure, her round and long legs, her slender waist, her high and prominent breasts, and the dark color of her mysterious area, all of these made Gu Fan stare in shock, unable to move his eyes. This was an unconscious attraction.

Yes, when encountering beautiful things, the control of the eyes is already handed over to the subconscious.

However, this scene quickly disappeared.

She screamed and ran away, and with a loud bang, the door was shut.

Gu Fan finally came to his senses, but the image in his mind kept reappearing, and his blood was boiling as if it were uncontrollable.

He quickly circulated his spiritual energy, which slightly improved the situation.

Then, looking at the closed door, it was not Huang Lelè's room, nor was it Gu Fan's room, but another room...

"Lelè's roommate? Lelè didn't mention this!" Gu Fan smiled bitterly, imagining the storm that was about to come. The loud scream still echoed in his ears, as if the aftertaste lingered.

Chu Xiaowei was furious, completely furious.

Just thinking about her ice-clean beauty, which she had never shown to any man, being seen by a man she had never met, made Chu Xiaowei want to die.

She almost subconsciously rushed into the room, quickly put on a nightgown, and then rushed out again.

She was afraid that this despicable man would escape!

Fortunately, he was still there!

Chu Xiaowei rushed into the kitchen and, when she came out, she already had a shiny kitchen knife in her hand...

"Hey, let's talk this out, what are you doing!" When Chu Xiaowei came out, Gu Fan had already wanted to explain, but he did not expect her to rush into the kitchen and come out with such a weapon.

"What do you think I'm doing? Today I'll cut you, you scoundrel!" Chu Xiaowei was furious.

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding. I'm Gu Fan, a resident here. I live in this room, and Lelè brought me here." Gu Fan pointed to his room and explained hurriedly.

Chu Xiaowei stopped and looked at Gu Fan suspiciously.

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can call Lelè!" Gu Fan smiled bitterly, realizing that due to his mother's serious illness, Huang Lelè had not had the chance to tell this beautiful woman about his existence.

Subconsciously, Gu Fan quickly looked at Chu Xiaowei again. Yes, although the beautiful scene was gone, Chu Xiaowei in a nightgown seemed to exude even more charm and attraction, making Gu Fan fantasize.

Most importantly, the scene behind the clothes seemed to automatically appear in Gu Fan's mind... His memory was too good, and this was not necessarily a good thing, as he could not forget even if he wanted to.

And Gu Fan truly saw Chu Xiaowei's face, and he was stunned again.

This was a beauty on par with Huang Lelè!

Moreover, because she was holding a kitchen knife and looked fierce and angry, she had a unique charm.

"You wait!" Chu Xiaowei looked at Gu Fan, then stomped her foot and rushed back into her room.

Gu Fan took a deep breath and sat on the sofa, smiling bitterly. Fortunately, this was still a reasonable beauty. If she were unreasonable, regardless of who he knew or whether he lived here, that kitchen knife would have come down without hesitation...

Chu Xiaowei quickly took out her phone and called Huang Lelè as soon as she returned to her room.

The phone rang six times, and just as Chu Xiaowei was feeling impatient, it was answered.

Chu Xiaowei was ready to unleash her fury, but she was stunned by Huang Lelè's sobs.

Instantly, all her words were stuck in her throat, and her mind went blank as she listened to Huang Lelè's sobs.

"Lelè, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Chu Xiaowei came to her senses and asked hurriedly.

She knew Huang Lelè very well. She was a natural optimist, always smiling no matter what, and even said philosophical things like "If you don't smile, it's a day; if you smile, it's also a day."

Chu Xiaowei had never imagined that Huang Lelè would have a day of crying, let alone the sadness revealed in her sobs.

"Lelè, my mom, my mom..." Huang Lelè sobbed and briefly explained the situation.

Chu Xiaowei was truly stunned. "This, this is impossible, how could it happen so suddenly? Wasn't Auntie fine before?"

"It's already confirmed, late-stage! Lelè..." Huang Lelè sobbed even harder.

In fact, in front of her mother, father, relatives, friends, and even doctors, Huang Lelè had not shed a single tear, her strength making everyone look at her in awe.

But when she received the call from her best friend, Huang Lelè could no longer hold back.

Chu Xiaowei felt a pang of sadness and softly said, "Cry, it will make you feel better."

Late-stage breast cancer was no different from a death sentence. In such a situation, any words of comfort were pale and powerless. Perhaps, quietly listening to Huang Lelè cry was the best choice.

Thus, Chu Xiaowei listened to Huang Lelè cry for five minutes before Huang Lelè finally controlled her emotions.

"I'll fly over tomorrow!" Chu Xiaowei said softly. At this moment, she felt she needed to be by Huang Lelè's side.

"No, I can handle it. I, I have spent too little time with my mom, I want to be with her!" Huang Lelè said softly.

"Alright, take care of yourself!" Chu Xiaowei said, still worried.

"Okay!"

"By the way, did you rent out our empty room to someone named Gu Fan?" Chu Xiaowei almost forgot the main issue. But now, she could not bring herself to be angry with Huang Lelè.

"Yes, you've met him? He's my savior, today at noon..." Huang Lelè briefly explained the situation and then instructed Chu Xiaowei, "Xiaowei, you're his senior, he's had a tough time, help him as much as you can."

Chu Xiaowei was a bit dazed!

Help that scoundrel? I want to kill him! But she said yes, considering Huang Lelè's current situation, she did not want Huang Lelè to be distracted.

After comforting Huang Lelè for a while, Chu Xiaowei ended the call.

"What a mess!" Throwing her phone aside, Chu Xiaowei threw herself onto the bed, her face full of bitter smiles.

She now basically understood everything. Huang Lelè had given the empty room to Gu Fan, but due to her mother's serious illness, she had not had the chance to tell Gu Fan about the other roommate, nor had she informed Chu Xiaowei.

And Chu Xiaowei, not expecting any other residents, had come out of the bathroom naked as usual. After all, there were no men in the house, and she always carefully pulled the curtains to avoid any exposure.

But who would have thought...

"It doesn't seem to be his fault!" Chu Xiaowei muttered.

"Whose fault if not his? He saw everything, it's his fault! No, I won't let this go!" Chu Xiaowei thought of Gu Fan staring at her without moving his eyes and felt her teeth grind in anger.

Adding to her already pent-up anger, which she had not vented on Huang Lelè, she was now really frustrated, and Gu Fan was the perfect target for her anger!

When she heard the door, Gu Fan stood up from the sofa and quickly said, "You've called Lelè, right? I really live here. Earlier, it was just an accident, I'm sorry!"

"Sorry? Does sorry help? You've seen everything, this is a huge loss!" Chu Xiaowei said angrily.

"Really sorry!" Gu Fan's face was awkward as he could only shyly apologize repeatedly.

"I said sorry doesn't help! I have to make up for this loss!" Chu Xiaowei was at a loss for how to deal with Gu Fan.

"Then, how about I let you see me back, so we both don't lose?" Gu Fan said shyly and softly.
