Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Female Thief_1
And so, that night, under Su Xuan’s arrangement, the bar opposite 88 Guanhai Street was acquired. The seven or eight hooligans also miraculously disappeared, and the street fell completely silent.
Su Xuan let out a long breath and stretched. Just as he was about to close his eyes for a satisfying sleep, he suddenly heard a click. The door to his room was being stealthily opened from the outside!
Then, a shadowy figure tiptoed into his room.
A burglar?
Seeing the figure skulking about, Su Xuan instinctively assumed a burglar had broken in. He pulled the quilt over his face, leaving only his eyes exposed to feign sleep while secretly observing the intruder. But the room was too dimly lit for him to make out the person’s appearance.
The intruder then approached his bed and reached out with a devilish claw!
Now’s my chance!
With a sudden movement, Su Xuan flipped over, yanking the quilt to completely envelop the intruder. Then, with a hard pull, he dragged the person down onto the bed.
Pinning the figure down, Su Xuan taunted, "Heh, you’ve got some nerve, breaking into my house."
"What are you doing!" a voice cried out. "Let go of me! I can’t breathe!"
Immediately, a pleasant and melodious voice, muffled by the quilt, called out.
A female burglar?
Su Xuan reached out, switched on the bedside lamp, and pulled the quilt down. He took one look and was utterly stupefied.
He was met with the sight of shiny, smooth golden hair and large, beautiful sapphire-like eyes. But those eyes were filled with indignation. He also saw thin lips, a high nose bridge, and a delicate chin.
He pulled the quilt down further.
Wow, her collarbones are exquisite, too.
Pulling the quilt down even further revealed...
"You’ve gone too far!"
The beautiful woman pinned under the quilt by Su Xuan managed to free a hand and slapped at his face.
Su Xuan’s physique had been enhanced multiple times, making his reflexes exceptional. He easily caught her small hand mid-swing.
"Ouch, that hurts! Let go of me!" the beautiful woman yelped.
"Shh!" Su Xuan whispered, covering her mouth. "Don’t yell! You’ll wake up my classmates!"
The beautiful woman nodded.
Su Xuan slowly moved his hand away from her mouth. He had pressed so firmly that a clear red handprint remained, a testament to just how fair her skin was.
"Why did you kick Da Bai? Why did you bring so many people into the house? Why are you sleeping in my room? And why did you... take advantage of me!" the woman bombarded him with questions in a single breath.
Yes, this was Alice.
Just a moment ago, she had searched five or six rooms without finding Su Xuan. Feeling discouraged and a little embarrassed, she had decided to return to her own room to sleep and find him in the morning. But when she returned, she found someone lying on her bed. Getting closer, she saw the person’s face was covered by the quilt and reached out to pull it away, only to be pinned down.
"Should I explain one thing at a time?" Su Xuan asked. He had seen Alice’s photo, so he recognized her immediately.
"You... get off me first," Alice said, looking up at Su Xuan with a pitiful expression. "Then you can explain."
"Alright." Su Xuan rolled off and sat beside her. "I got into a fight tonight and had to borrow Da Bai. To motivate him, I gave him a light kick."
"Besides, you left me a note telling me to take care of it from now on. Isn’t that basically the same as giving it to me?"
"Furthermore, I drank quite a bit tonight and didn’t realize this was your room. I just saw it was on the highest floor with the best view, so I came in."
"As for taking advantage of you... I was about to hit you. Why did you sneak in here like a thief?"
Su Xuan finished and looked at her, his expression self-righteous. This is my house. I can do whatever I want. You’re just a guest!
"I..." Alice knew she was at fault and was momentarily speechless. After a pause, she insisted, "But you still shouldn’t have kicked him! He’s my sister!"
Pfft!
Su Xuan couldn’t help but be amused. The idea of someone considering a bear their sister was certainly interesting.
"Is it really that funny?" Alice had wanted to get angry at Su Xuan, but the moment she saw his smile, her anger simply vanished.
His smile was like bright sunshine in the dead of winter, a beautiful rainbow after the rain, a drop of morning dew on a leaf—it was just unfairly, breathtakingly handsome.
Getting angry at a man with such a charming smile would be so unladylike!
Alice also sat up, bringing her long legs together and placing her small hands on them as she gazed directly at Su Xuan, her eyes sparkling with the unique wildness of a Western woman.
Su Xuan asked, "What are you looking at?"
Alice replied, "Nothing."
Su Xuan said, "It’s getting late. Aren’t you going to bed?"
Alice stated, "This is my room."
Su Xuan countered, "This is my house."
Alice: "..."
"I’m tired," Su Xuan announced. "I’m going to sleep now."
True to his word, Su Xuan turned off the bedside lamp, wrapped himself snugly in the quilt, and lay down.
Ah, the cool breeze from the air conditioner, snuggled in a quilt... sleeping like this is so comfortable!
Alice smoothed her messy hair, bit her lip, and defiantly lay down on the bed next to him. Not only did she lie down, but she also began to toss and turn restlessly. The bed creaked and groaned with her movements, a clear attempt to annoy Su Xuan until he left.
BEEP!
Su Xuan’s phone screen suddenly lit up with a WeChat message.
Ye Qianqian: "Brother Su Xuan, Zi Mo and I can’t sleep. Can we come over and hang out?"
Su Xuan: "I’m already asleep. Don’t come over."
Ye Qianqian: "..."
Su Xuan put his phone down. But then another message arrived. He glanced at his phone, a playful expression forming on his face.
Chen Jingjing: "Handsome Su, are you asleep?"
Su Xuan: "What’s up?"
Chen Jingjing: "Do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Su Xuan: "?"
Chen Jingjing: "Seeing you today made me think of our high school days. I want to tell you a secret... I had a crush on you back then!"
Su Xuan: "?"
Chen Jingjing: "If you don’t have a girlfriend, can I ask you to a movie tomorrow?"
Su Xuan: "I’m not free."
Hey, you’re Liu Yiming’s fiancée! Don’t you dare cheat on him!
Chen Jingjing: "What about the day after? You must be free then, right? As long as you have time, I’m always available."
Su Xuan: "Heh."
Chen Jingjing: "I know which room you’re in. I’m already outside your door. Can we talk for a bit?"
Su Xuan: "No need. I’m going to take a shower."
At that very moment, Chen Jingjing really was standing stealthily outside Su Xuan’s room. She stared at the messages he’d sent her, feeling deeply wronged.
Heh. "I’m not free." "Going to take a shower." And that cold, dismissive question mark!
These were the exact same kinds of replies she always sent to the admirers she used to brush off. Now she was getting a taste of her own medicine!
I refuse to believe you’ll just ignore me!
Chen Jingjing took a deep breath and knocked on Su Xuan’s door.
After a long moment, the door opened.
A stunningly beautiful mixed-race woman—so beautiful she made Chen Jingjing feel like dust—stood before her and asked politely, "May I help you?"
