So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 19
The next-door room kept emitting hot and spicy sounds, even worse than last night! Bear it, not more than three times. Le Xiaoyao followed the principle of forgiving where forgiveness is due and didn’t want to nitpick with the young couple, but being generous also had a price!
The next day at work, Le Xiaoyao had dark circles under her eyes again. In the elevator, she happened to meet Little Li. Little Li looked radiant, with a glowing complexion. No wonder she was young; even after all that activity late into the night, look at her energy! Le Xiaoyao couldn’t compare. Little Li looked at Le Xiaoyao with such enthusiasm, almost ready to give her a hug, and asked with concern, “Did you not sleep well last night, Jie-jie (Sister)?”
Le Xiaoyao was inwardly frustrated, thinking, how could I be like you, Mei-mei (Little Sister), who is nourished by love every day. Seven times a night is no problem for you! Experts say that (s3x) life should be moderate! So, Le Xiaoyao kindly reminded her, “Ahem… you young people should take it easy in whatever you do.”
Little Li didn’t seem to understand much and said cutely, “You shouldn’t work too hard either, Jie-jie!”
Ding! The elevator arrived. Le Xiaoyao stepped out first and pretended to talk to herself, “The soundproofing in this apartment is really bad…”
She heard Little Li shouting from behind, “Take care, Jie-jie!”
Because she woke up too late, Le Xiaoyao didn’t have time to prepare breakfast for herself and just ate a bowl of plain congee and an egg pancake outside. When she arrived at the company, she found it was only 8:30 a.m., quite a bit earlier than usual~
A refined life comes at the cost of time. Many office workers like Le Xiaoyao, due to time constraints, casually grab their three meals a day outside. But she wouldn’t do that. She really enjoyed the process of cooking. Although life was fast-paced, when she cooked, the whole world seemed to “slow down,” and she wouldn’t feel mentally exhausted…
It was clear how sacred the kitchen was to Le Xiaoyao. How could she let Huang Chenchen defile it? However, Huang Chenchen always scoffed at her cooking-to-relieve-stress behavior, even though Le Xiaoyao repeatedly emphasized that her actions were an expression of her love for life~
After parking the car, Le Xiaoyao was about to step through the revolving door again. She took a deep breath to adjust her state, ready to face a full day of work… Casually looking around, she accidentally caught sight of a familiar figure:
She saw Huang Chenchen carrying a pile of things, fully bundled up with a hat, scarf, and gloves, with her “Little Lamb” (scooter) parked next to her.
“What are you doing here?” Le Xiaoyao walked over. It was so cold, and she was still riding her scooter. Wasn’t she freezing to death!
Huang Chenchen sniffled and shivered, “What do you think! I’m asking your CEO Xu for work! Do you know how hard it is for me!”
“Didn’t I give you CEO Xu’s number? Didn’t you contact her?”
Huang Chenchen pushed Le Xiaoyao, “Isn’t this your fault? You told me your CEO Xu was so harmless, but why is it different when I’m dealing with her? She doesn’t answer calls, and she’s always playing hard to get. If I wait any longer, I’ll really starve…”
Just then, Xu Xuan’s car drove up. Huang Chenchen immediately locked onto her target. Being a reporter, her eyesight was undoubtedly excellent. “Enough, enough, no more talking, the old ancestor is here!”
Le Xiaoyao was too tired to even comment on her fawning look, a complete sycophant. Shaking her head, she decided she couldn’t be bothered with her messy situation and let her go on with it!
It was midnight again.
“…hmm… ah… hmm… ah…”
Either explode in silence or perish in silence. Seriously, the young couple next door was practically killing Le Xiaoyao! Enough is enough, no need to endure further. Le Xiaoyao had already hinted at it to Little Li that morning, but the situation showed no signs of improvement. Every night was a raging fire~ In the end, it was Le Xiaoyao who was burned out…
Pulling out her earplugs, turning on the light, putting on her slippers, and throwing on her coat. Le Xiaoyao angrily walked out and fiercely knocked on the next-door door, “Dong dong dong… Dong dong dong!”
She heard the panting inside stop, but the sound of footsteps was quite agitated! Soon, the girl in the leather jacket opened the door, but she wasn’t wearing the leather jacket now, only a white tank top. Le Xiaoyao glanced at her. Good heavens, her chest is flatter than mine! However, Le Xiaoyao knew it wasn’t the time to be smug. She straightened her back, chest out, and before she could speak… the girl in the leather jacket spoke first. Having her fun interrupted, her temper was naturally not good!
“What is it?”
“Can you two please be quieter?! Aren’t you tired!” Le Xiaoyao wanted to add that young people should take it easy in this regard, as too much is harmful to the body! The girl in the leather jacket leaned one arm on the wall, revealing a large patch of tattoo, which was quite intimidating. Le Xiaoyao’s voice became increasingly timid.
“If you’re lonely, go find someone yourself! What’s the meaning of eavesdropping on us!” Bang! The door slammed shut. What a fiery temper!
Le Xiaoyao stood at the doorway and muttered, not daring to be too loud, “What do you mean I’m lonely? Do you understand disturbing the peace? Truly a moral decay and decline of public morals! Alas…”
This went on for a whole week, seven days and nights. Le Xiaoyao was truly on the verge of a breakdown. She went to the property management to report the situation, but they kept saying they needed evidence… She was speechless. Was it necessary to lie about this? Would anyone be bored enough to go to such lengths? Should she really sneak in in the middle of the night to record those unethical “shouts”? In short, the property management didn’t want to deal with it.
When Le Xiaoyao first moved into this apartment, it was because it was close to the company and convenient for work. She really didn’t consider the soundproofing. Of course, the main reason was that the two “maniacs” next door hadn’t moved in yet. Since the “maniac” Little Li moved in, Le Xiaoyao felt as if all her vitality had been sucked dry. She was listless every day, a state that was definitely unacceptable. She was dozing off at work.
“Big Sister Huang, can I stay at your place tonight?” After work, Le Xiaoyao rushed directly to the downstairs of Huang Chenchen’s apartment. She really didn’t want to go back to her own place, and even less did she want to hear the two “maniacs'” concerto. Anyway, her three-month lease was up, so she might as well find a new place for a change of scenery. But before finding a new place, she could only crash at Huang Chenchen’s. To show her respect, Le Xiaoyao specifically called first to ask. Of course, regardless of whether Huang Chenchen agreed or not, she was definitely going to cling to her~
“You know how crowded my place is!”
Wait a minute, there’s something fishy! Le Xiaoyao immediately caught the scent. Huang Chenchen didn’t even ask why she wanted to stay at her place, she just refused directly! “Are you hiding a man? Are you!”
Huang Chenchen glanced at Xu Xuan, who was semi-reclining on the sofa, like a queen, flipping through a magazine, waiting for Huang Chenchen to massage her shoulders and legs!
Before, Huang Chenchen said Fu Jin was Le Xiaoyao’s weakness; undoubtedly, CEO Xu was her weakness! How much injustice had she suffered these days~ Every morning at 8 o’clock sharp, she would buy breakfast and appear at CEO Xu’s house—Chinese style, Western style, Chinese-Western fusion style—and the key was that she couldn’t repeat any! She didn’t know where CEO Xu found out that she was a well-known food blogger and said, “Since you’re so good at eating, I’ll put you in charge of my three meals a day.”
“I can eat, but I can’t cook!”
“Whether you can cook or not is your problem.”
She was an unemployed person staying at home, yet she had to be responsible for CEO Xu’s three meals a day. Can’t cook? Then she had to buy it. Money was truly flowing like water. CEO Xu just ordering a few simple home-style stir-fries cost several hundred per meal. After a month, her wallet would be more than just shy! She felt like her heart had been hollowed out, utterly chilled… This legendary experience could really be written into a novel called The Days of Being Kept by a Beautiful CEO.
“Little sister, you’re giving me too much credit. I’m really not hiding a man! I’m innocent…” Huang Chenchen cried out that she was wronged, which was actually true…
Perhaps Big Sister Huang’s “period is coming” excuse had been used too many times. Le Xiaoyao utterly refused to believe her. Huang Chenchen hadn’t cried injustice any less over the years, yet she was still living carefree, wasn’t she? “Sister, my place is really unlivable, it’s too noisy. I haven’t slept well all week. Besides, can I sleep on the sofa? I promise not to steal your blanket or kick you out of bed, okay?”
Huang Chenchen looked at Xu Xuan in distress. This Empress Dowager wasn’t saying she was leaving, so how could she dare to issue an eviction notice! She thought about it. Maybe she could suggest going out to eat and take CEO Xu home along the way. Good idea! “Fine, come over if you want. Open the door yourself; I might not be home.”
Le Xiaoyao and Huang Chenchen had exchanged keys. After all, they had been close friends for over ten years, practically like family. Since both had keys, they skipped the hassle of knocking and opening the door, which was convenient… However, along with the convenience…
As soon as she got permission, Le Xiaoyao went upstairs. This time, she could give Big Sister Huang a big surprise!
Huang Chenchen calculated in her mind that it would take at least half an hour for Le Xiaoyao to drive from her place, plus traffic jams and such, she definitely wouldn’t arrive in under forty minutes. As long as she took CEO Xu out to eat during that time, her humble image wouldn’t be discovered by Le Xiaoyao. Little did she know, Le Xiaoyao was planning to give her a big surprise!
“Boss, let’s go out to eat. There’s a particularly delicious restaurant.” Huang Chenchen continued to smile fawningly, kneeling on one knee, massaging Xu Xuan’s legs.
Xu Xuan turned a page of the magazine and said carelessly, “I’m a little thirsty…”
Huang Chenchen immediately used a toothpick to pick up a small piece of pineapple and offered it to Xu Xuan, “Then eat some pineapple…” But she was cursing inwardly, You like eating pineapple so much, I hope it’s sour enough to kill you!
The door opened.
What kind of scene was this? Le Xiaoyao thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. C-CEO Xu, how could she be here?! Moreover, she was lying on the sofa in a… rather alluring posture… Even more terrifying was Huang Chenchen, the usual tigress, actually half-kneeling, obediently feeding pineapple to CEO Xu! “C-CEO Xu, H-hello.”
Sh1t! Huang Chenchen hadn’t reacted yet and was stunned, “You… why did you come already!”
Le Xiaoyao didn’t know what to say. Should she say: You two… please continue? Hey! Is there any morality left…
