Chapter 16

Rao Family Residence.

Second floor, inside the bathroom.

"Your bath is ready," Zhang Ye shouted from inside.

The landlady seemed to be on the phone in the outer room and only replied after a while, "You can't take a bath now, I have to go out and will be back in the afternoon!"

"Huh? Where are you going?" Zhang Ye asked.

"What's it to you where I'm going!" Rao Dajie's voice had never been friendly, "I'm leaving the room to you to clean, make sure it's clean, especially the windows on the south side that need to be wiped. I'm leaving, remember to lock the door when you're done, and don't touch anything in my house!"

With a bang, the door downstairs was slammed shut.

Zhang Ye was left alone in the house. He grumbled a bit but didn't slack off. He knew that Rao Dajie was a tough-talking, soft-hearted person. Many tenants complained about her harsh words, but many had also received help from Rao Aimin, including Zhang Ye. Whenever he had no food, wasn't it Rao Dajie who took care of him? So, he repaid her kindness by agreeing to clean the room properly. After a long half-day of work, Zhang Ye finished and was drenched in sweat. Checking his watch, it was noon, and he ate the two leftover pickled vegetable buns.

As the ancients said: When one is well-fed and warm, one thinks of... Oh, that's not the right saying.

As the ancients said: On weekends, after a good rest and a full meal, one should take a nap.

Following this ancient wisdom, Zhang Ye had no intention of going against it, but he couldn't rest with a body drenched in sweat. His eyes fell on the Rao family's bathroom with a mischievous glint. Zhang Ye's place had a shower, but it was just a showerhead, not satisfying enough. Rao Dajie's bedroom bathroom had a genuine large bathtub, and Zhang Ye had never experienced the luxury of a bathtub. Besides, the water was already hot, so not using it would be a waste. Despite Rao Aimin's warning not to touch anything in her house, Zhang Ye didn't listen, thinking she wouldn't be back until the afternoon.

The house had two bathrooms, and the one upstairs was in Rao Aimin's bedroom.

The bathroom was spacious, and the bathtub was wide. He tested the water with his hand; it was still warm.

Zhang Ye closed the door and started undressing, throwing his T-shirt and underwear into a laundry basket next to the washing machine. He lay in the bathtub, pulled the white silk curtain shut, and let out a comfortable sigh, closing his eyes involuntarily. It was too enjoyable.

Half an hour...

One hour...

He fell asleep without realizing it.

When Zhang Ye opened his eyes again, he was woken by the sound of a door closing nearby. He noticed the water was no longer as warm.

"Phew, this damn sun, trying to bake me to death!" a woman's voice muttered from outside the curtain.

Who was talking?

The landlady was back!

Zhang Ye immediately realized the situation, his face turning pale. Oh no, how could she be back so early? She said... Hey, it's not early at all; he had already slept for a long time. Zhang Ye panicked, feeling like a criminal caught in the act, extremely embarrassed. But it was too late now. He awkwardly turned his head to peek through the gap in the curtain, intending to admit his mistake.

But this only made things worse!

Zhang Ye's nose tingled, almost losing control!

Just two meters in front of him, Rao Aimin had already taken off her top and thrown it on the washing machine. In the summer, she didn't wear much. She was facing away from Zhang Ye, and her hands were reaching behind to unhook her bra. With a snap, the light pink, patterned bra was off and flew to the side. Her hands moved down, and she started to take off her gray skirt while muttering about the terrible weather. The skirt came off with a swoosh and fell to the bathroom floor. She nimbly used her toes to flick the skirt onto the washing machine.

The landlady was always a person who acted and spoke decisively!

How decisive? Just as Zhang Ye was about to call out to her, the landlady had already taken off her bra and skirt and was now bending down to remove her sheer tights, so quickly and decisively!

Zhang Ye forced the word back into his throat. He remembered a scene from when he first came to this world to look for a place to live. The small studio he now lived in was previously occupied by a jobless youth, a small-time thug. One day, after drinking with a friend, they made a lewd comment about Rao Aimin in the hallway. Zhang Ye saw Rao Aimin, a woman, single-handedly beat the two young men from the building to the ground, leaving them bruised and running away. The room was then vacated and rented to Zhang Ye. At that moment, Zhang Ye understood the landlady's fighting prowess and felt a deep respect.

She was almost completely undressed!

He had seen almost everything!

Saying "I'm sorry, I'm here" now would be too late!

Zhang Ye didn't want to end up like those two thugs. Although the world and background were different now, his interpersonal relationships and past experiences hadn't fundamentally changed. The landlady was still the same woman who could take on two young men single-handedly. If she kicked him, it would be bad. Moreover, Zhang Ye was now a somewhat famous radio host. Being caught as a pervert would be embarrassing. He absolutely couldn't let the landlady discover him. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he quickly made a decision. He couldn't make big movements for fear of making a splash, so he quickly and quietly opened his game ring, took out the invisibility potion he had won earlier, and drank the transparent liquid.

In the next moment, Zhang Ye watched as his body in the water became transparent, seemingly merging with the water and disappearing magically!

The game screen started a countdown!

4 minutes 59 seconds, 4 minutes 58 seconds...

Just then, Rao Aimin, who had taken off her tights, turned around and pulled the curtain open with a "zip," looking inside.

Zhang Ye couldn't marvel at his transparency anymore. His body was tense, and he dared not even breathe. In such a situation, holding his breath was incredibly difficult. His eyebrows were almost standing on end, and the scent of a mature woman was overwhelming!

That skin...

That figure...

On the other hand, Rao Aimin, not seeing the invisible Zhang Ye, muttered to herself, "That Zhang Ye, knowing I went out, he didn't even drain the bathtub. Is he waiting for me to water the flowers when I come back? With such a dull head, he's a radio host? I've never heard of a radio station that accepts anyone!"

Zhang Ye thought, "How much do you hate me? You're still scolding me even when I'm not here?"

Some people's sharp tongues are just for fun, but Rao Aimin's sharp tongue was truly venomous, always liking to scold, mock, and belittle people. Even when Zhang Ye wasn't there, she didn't spare him, criticizing him behind his back.

"Ah, let's check if the water is cool!" Suddenly, Rao Aimin reached out and plunged her hand into the water without warning!

Zhang Ye's soul nearly fled. He watched as the landlady's hand approached the area of his thigh. It was over! He was going to be discovered!
