Chapter 9

Tang Yu was embarrassed, never expecting to be discovered!

Tang Yu's home is a three-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom apartment. One of the bathrooms was added later, specifically for renting purposes. For tenants, having their own private bathroom and shower is definitely desirable. For the landlord, it also means not having to share their bathroom and shower with outsiders.

The added bathroom is next to the small room, which is also next to the room where Tang Yu lives. Tang Yu had drilled a small hole in the wall. This hole is so small that it would go unnoticed unless one looked closely. However, if one pressed their eye to it, they could clearly see everything happening in the bathroom. Naturally, every time Liu Xin took a shower, Tang Yu could see everything.

Tang Yu looked at the angry Liu Xin with a bitter smile: "Hehe. Well, Sister Xin, it's not early anymore, I'm going back to my room to sleep."

"No, you can't leave!" Liu Xin said loudly, looking at Tang Yu: "You haven't answered my question yet. Which is prettier, me with clothes on or without?"

"Both are pretty!" Tang Yu answered without hesitation, the image of Liu Xin's alluring body still fresh in his mind. Liu Xin, however, was becoming increasingly shy. After all, her body was often seen by this rascal without any cover. Although she had long discovered the hole, she never confronted Tang Yu, fearing he would be embarrassed. She knew that Tang Yu only looked and had no other bad intentions, which she could guarantee. Since he had already seen, it didn't matter much, especially since Tang Yu was no longer young and had even been in a relationship before, though it ended in failure and caused him significant trauma.

"Hmph! That's better." Liu Xin coldly snorted, then took her bag and pulled out a few books, handing them to Tang Yu: "Here, take them."

"What are these?" Tang Yu muttered, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the white inside Liu Xin's white collared shirt, making his heart skip a beat. Upon receiving the books, he saw that they were various college entrance exam review materials. "Ah, Sister Xin, this is...?" Tang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Less talk, go to class tomorrow." Liu Xin said succinctly.

Tang Yu was speechless. What was going on today? Why were everyone asking him to go to school? First, Wu Xiuhua, then a call from Xia Shihan, and now Liu Xin.

Looking at Liu Xin, Tang Yu felt a warm current in his heart. As a tenant, Liu Xin cared so much about his home and him.

"That's good. Whether you pass or not, do your best. There are still three months, not too long or too short." Liu Xin, having experienced it herself, naturally understood the college entrance exam.

Tang Yu nodded: "Yeah. Sister Xin, I'll go and block that small hole later."

"No need. If you want to look, go ahead. It won't hurt me, but don't think too much. Sigh, I don't know if I owe you from a past life. Today, my first kiss was given to you for free, and I'm seen by you every day..." Liu Xin scolded Tang Yu, looking both angry and amused.

Tang Yu was very surprised. Liu Xin not asking him to block the hole was already a surprise, but he never expected that Liu Xin was still a virgin. Was it true? Looking at Liu Xin, a sexy beauty, he thought she should have had many boyfriends.

"Sister Xin, you really are a virgin?"

Most girls are very particular about their first kiss, considering it a treasure, though not on the same level as virginity, they wouldn't give it away easily. Suddenly, Tang Yu thought of the man from today. Seeing him, Tang Yu felt a pang of sadness.

Liu Xin glared at Tang Yu: "Of course, why would I lie to you?"

"I... That's really an honor. By the way, Sister Xin, who was the man driving today?"

"Just a pest. Treat him like air." Liu Xin said, looking at Tang Yu.

For some reason, Tang Yu felt very relieved hearing this. Liu Xin then looked at Tang Yu: "Brat, you should go out now. Otherwise, Aunt Wu will think we're doing something here."

"Oh, right! Sister Xin, you're so thoughtful. I'll go out now." Tang Yu walked to the door, then stopped: "Sister Xin, really, I won't block that hole?"

"Who asked you to block it? Go—"

...

Chu Yarou returned home, and Sun Meimei quickly asked: "Yarou, did you get the money from your uncle?"

"Mom. No." Chu Yarou lowered her head, speaking softly.

Sun Meimei's face immediately showed extreme disappointment, "That heartless bastard, I treated him so well when he was young! Yarou, your father needs his medicine by the 15th of each month, which is in three days. I've asked many people for money, but they all refused. Think about it, do you have any wealthy classmates who can lend you some?"

Chu Yarou was taken aback. She was always a loner at school and had no close friends, let alone wealthy ones. Even if she did, she wouldn't feel comfortable asking. Chu Yarou remained silent for a long time, then shook her head helplessly.

"Ah, does your father really have no way out of this?" Sun Meimei was very sad, tears streaming down her face.

Just then, Chu Yarou's old Nokia phone rang. She saw it was her uncle Sun Xing. Chu Yarou didn't know why he was calling now. Was he going to give the money or scold her again?

To be honest, even if he was going to give the money, Chu Yarou was very reluctant to take it because he was so cold and heartless. But what could she do now?

"Who's calling?" Sun Meimei asked, looking at Chu Yarou.

"It's... Uncle's..." Chu Yarou said softly.

"He? Answer quickly!" Sun Meimei urged. Because of her husband Chu Fengsheng, her relationship with her family had completely broken down, and she had had several major arguments with Sun Xing. She didn't want to lower herself to ask Sun Xing for money, but she had no choice. She chose her husband's life over her pride.

"Uh..." Chu Yarou didn't want to hear Sun Xing's voice again, but seeing the hope in Sun Meimei's eyes, she had no choice but to answer.

"Hello, Yarou? Hehe. It's Uncle." Sun Xing had been worried that Chu Yarou wouldn't answer because of his harsh words earlier, which would make it difficult to explain to Wang Feng, and he would lose the land deal.

"Uncle, what's up?" Chu Yarou's voice was involuntarily cold. She would rather not have such an uncle.

"Hehe, Yarou, Uncle has something to discuss with you. It's about your father-in-law's medicine. I plan to give you the money, not lend it, but... is your mother with you?" Sun Xing was worried that Sun Meimei would interfere and stop Chu Yarou, so he paused to ask.

Chu Yarou was very surprised by Sun Xing's 180-degree change in attitude. Not lending but giving? There must be something wrong. But thinking about the lack of money and the danger to Chu Fengsheng's life if he didn't get his medicine, she couldn't be too selfish. So she said, "Yes, she's here."

"Go somewhere else to take the call." Sun Xing said again.

"Uh..." Chu Yarou softly responded, now certain that this wasn't a simple matter. But why did he want to avoid Sun Meimei?
