"It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Chu Yuying was startled awake from her reverie, her face turning even paler like a frightened fawn.
—I must never let anyone know that my identity as a psychic is fake!
Otherwise, one must be prepared to live a secluded life in the mountains and never be able to step into the real world again.
After all, only wealthy bosses believe in feng shui and metaphysics; those who have been deceived by them are not exactly kind-hearted believers.
If they find out that I'm just a fake psychic, what will they do to me...?
Chu Yuying didn't even dare to think about it.
If falling into the hands of the blond-haired guy would at most turn into a cream puff, then falling into their hands, it probably wouldn't even have the chance to become a cream puff.
"Um... Sister Yue, do you have a place to take a shower? I'd like to take a shower first, and then we can talk about this, okay?"
In a moment of quick thinking, Chu Yuying looked pitifully at Yu Shiyue.
She needed to find a quiet place to think carefully about a solution.
We have to shut Huang Mao up; no one else can know what happened tonight!
"bath?"
Yu Shiyue was taken aback. She couldn't understand the other person's thinking. She glanced at Xia Che, who was still in the bathroom, and hurriedly said, "Xia Che didn't do anything to you, did he? If he did, don't be afraid. I'll take you to the police station right now. There's still time."
"No, no... He didn't do anything to me, I just really wanted to take a shower."
Mentioning this, Chu Yuying's face flushed slightly. Putting everything else aside, she really needed to take a shower.
After all, it's me...
Chu Yuying looked down at her white stockings, rubbing them with shame and indignation.
I will never drink so much water at night again!
She made a silent vow.
"are you sure?"
Yu Shiyue was skeptical, but when she saw Chu Yuying's serious and determined eyes, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not the worst possible outcome, that's fine. After all, nobody wants their landlord to be that kind of person.
But judging from Chu Yuying's appearance, there might be another hidden story. Yu Shiyue thought for a moment and decided that since she hadn't been coerced by Xia Che, it would be better not to ask any further questions. She should let her take a bath first.
"Xia Che is still taking a shower. There's a small bathroom in my bedroom that you can use to shower. Come with me, I'll go find you some pajamas."
Yu Shiyue stood up and closed the door that had been slightly ajar. She then waved her hand, signaling Chu Yuying to follow. Chu Yuying lowered her head and obediently followed behind her.
Fortunately, Lishi Quyuan is an upscale residential community. In addition to an outside bathroom, each bedroom has a separate shower room.
"Here, pajamas, and a clean set of underwear that you haven't worn yet. You can use them."
Yu Shiyue thoughtfully led Chu Yuying to the bathroom in her bedroom, preparing freshly unpacked underwear to prevent her from becoming a germaphobe.
"Thank you, sister..."
Chu Yuying took the clothes with one hand, blushed, and closed the door.
The moment she turned around, Chu Yuying's expression changed instantly, her eyes flashing.
She turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat up.
Turning around, Chu Yuying took off her clothes. They were all too dirty to wash. She decided to buy a new set tomorrow. As she did so, she threw her clothes into the trash can.
While waiting for the hot water to run, Chu Yuying's mind raced with thoughts:
"What happened tonight can't be kept secret any longer. Wang Han is a big mouth. The whole class will probably know about his adventure at the old campus tomorrow, and then the entire second-year class will know. That blond guy named Xia Che looks like he's also a student at Weiyang No. 1 Middle School, otherwise he wouldn't have been at the old campus at night. The security guards wouldn't have let him in."
"I just don't know what grade Xia Che is in right now. He should be either a freshman or a senior. I've never seen him in the junior year... Since we're in different grades, as long as we can shut him up, no one will know what happened."
"That blond-haired guy scared me half to death. Logically speaking, he's the one who should have wronged me. If I use that as leverage to shut him up, would that work?"
By this time, the hot water had almost finished running. Chu Yuying shook her hair, then picked up the shower head and sprayed the hot water on her body. The comfortable temperature dispelled the cold, and Chu Yuying finally felt much more comfortable.
"I can't think of a better idea for the time being. It seems like this is the only way? Sigh... If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to give some blond guy any leverage over me. Who knows what strange demands he might make?"
Chu Yuying sighed as she applied shower gel.
In fact, her concerns were valid.
In the original storyline, Li Junyang used Chu Yuying's weakness as a psychic to test her limits step by step, eventually successfully manipulating her and dragging her into a quagmire.
"However, this sister named Yu Shiyue is really a good person. Her concern for me doesn't seem fake, but there's no way around it. For my safety, I'm destined to deceive her."
Chu Yuying picked up the shower head and rinsed off the shower gel. In the rising steam, for some reason, Chu Yuying seemed to see Xia Che's face.
It hardened instantly; his fist hardened instantly.
If it weren't for this damn blond guy, how would I have gotten hold of him?
And I even saw how embarrassing I was...
Chu Yuying gritted her teeth, feeling an urge to kill Xia Che.
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the bathroom door. Chu Yuying was startled. Could it be that the devil had come to cause trouble for her?
Who is it?
Chu Yuying asked weakly, her guilt masking any trace of her earlier anger.
"It's me."
Yu Shiyue stammered, "Xia Che has already finished showering. I was planning to tell you after you finished, but I didn't expect him to come out so soon. Um... could you do me a favor?"
"Sister Yue, just tell me directly. I'm willing to help with anything."
Seeing that it wasn't Xia Che, Chu Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grin.
She had a good impression of Yu Shiyue; she was a beautiful and gentle older sister. Her only flaw was that she shared an apartment with Huang Mao, but that was understandable.
It's all that perverted blond guy's fault!
"Please keep my being a girl a secret. Xia Che also thinks I'm a boy. I think it's safer for me to stay here as a boy..."
Yu Shiyue pursed her lips, looking slightly embarrassed.
Although the misunderstanding has been cleared up and Xia Che is not that kind of person, Yu Shiyue still feels that it's better to be careful when traveling alone.
"Oh...no problem, I understand."
Chu Yuying thought for a moment, then giggled and called out, "I'll call you Brother Xiaoyue, is that alright now?"
