Chapter 8 The Second Lodger

  Zhao Tiezhu looked at Su Yanni with a playful expression, "Ha! You're speechless now, aren't you? Still thinking of me as a pervert?" He chuckled, "Where can you find a pervert as handsome and charming as me?"

  Su Yanni glared at Zhao Tiezhu's smug face, her anger rising, "What are you laughing at? You look like a lustful idiot."

  "Haha, you're saying I'm perverted? Take a look at yourself, going to take a bath dressed like that? Your way of taking a bath is really different from others." Zhao Tiezhu looked up and down at Su Yanni, laughing.

  "Ah!!!!" Su Yanni only then realized that she had been walking too quickly and hadn't thought about her current appearance, standing half-naked in front of Zhao Tiezhu. Her face instantly turned fiery red, without even saying hello, she turned around and ran away.

  Want to play with me? Brother's little finger can play you dizzy. Zhao Tiezhu smiled evilly.

  Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, night had fallen. "Who's cooking dinner?" Zhao Tiezhu shouted.

  "You won't be doing it?" responded Su Yanni from next door. She hadn't left her room since this afternoon until now.

  "I thought you were a policeman, don't you have to go to work in the afternoon?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "None of your business!"

  "Alright, so this eating thing is none of my business now, what's for dinner tonight?"

  "I'm not eating, you want to eat then eat by yourself."

  Haha, Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that this woman still hadn't gotten over the frustration from noon. He got up and walked downstairs, leaving the villa.

  Before long, Zhao Tiezhu returned with fresh vegetables and other ingredients in his hands. He looked up at the floor above, but Su Yanni still hadn't come out. Zhao Tiezhu went straight into the kitchen.

  The kitchen was fully equipped, and Zhao Tiezhu simply washed the ingredients, thinking about what he wanted to eat, and started cooking.

  Before long, a simple three dishes and one soup appeared on the table. Zhao Tiezhu sighed, it had been many years since he last cooked for himself. He washed his hands and called out: "Come down to eat!"

  Hearing no movement from upstairs, Zhao Tiezhu also stopped calling out and sat down to eat a bowl of rice.

  "I say, you really don't have the demeanor of a gentleman, do you? Don't know how many more times to call out?" Just after finishing half a bowl of rice, Su Yanni appeared in front of Zhao Tiezhu. Originally, Su Yanni didn't plan on coming down, but she also knew that if things went on like this, it would be equivalent to admitting defeat to Zhao Tiezhu. This child had to be found, otherwise how could they catch the underwear thief Zhao Tiezhu? She was just planning to wait for Zhao Tiezhu to call out a few more times before reluctantly coming down to eat, but unexpectedly this person stopped calling out, so in the end she had no choice but to come down herself.

  Zhao Tiezhu didn't say a word, pointing to the chair beside him. Su Yanni saw that Zhao Tiezhu had even served her rice and felt a warmth in her heart - this person wasn't completely useless after all. So she sat down. After finishing dinner, Zhao Tiezhu said while clearing the tableware, "Wearing cheongsam is bad for your health, you should pay more attention to yourself."

  "Zhao Tiezhu!!!! Go die!" Su Yanni shouted. A pair of chopsticks instantly flew towards Zhao Tiezhu, who dodged with a chuckle and jumped out of the kitchen, shouting "You wash dishes tonight!" before running upstairs.

  "Zhao Tiezhu, remember this." Su Yanni rubbed the rag in her hand fiercely, but amidst the anger, there was a hint of shyness.

  Zhao Tiezhu whistled as he entered the room, and his phone suddenly rang. After answering it, he only heard a pleasant female voice. "Is this Mr. Zhao?"

  "Who am I? And who are you?"

  "Hello, is your house still for rent?"

  "Also for rent, you want to rent it?"

  "Yes, can I go take a look now?"

  "Alright, come here."

  After hanging up the phone, Zhao Tiezhu savored the woman's voice from just now. The softness of that voice was like nothing else, making Zhao Tiezhu extremely certain that its owner must be a stunning beauty.

  Half an hour later, a knock at the door came from downstairs. Zhao Tiezhu ran down to open the door and saw a woman standing at the entrance, with a white face and curved eyebrows that showed weakness, long hair hanging smoothly on her shoulders, a Bohemian-style long skirt wrapped around her body, and a pair of sandals that made her ankles even more beautiful. She was a woman as gentle as flowing water.

  Zhao Tiezhu was slightly stunned and for once didn't have a mischievous thought.

  "Hello, I'm Cao Ziyu. You must be Mr. Zhao." The woman at the door stretched out her hand and said softly.

  "Yes, it's me." Zhao Tiezhu gently grasped Cao Ziyu's hand and then immediately let go, saying, "Come in."

  Cao Ziyi followed Zhao Tiezhu into the room, and Su Yanni had just finished washing dishes and came out to see Zhao Tiezhu leading a woman in, curiously walking up to them.

  "This is one of my tenants," Zhao Tiezhu introduced.

  "Hello, I'm Su Yanni, police." Su Yanni said with a friendly smile.

  "Hello, I'm Cao Ziyue, I am a painter." Cao Ziyue also smiled in response. Then he asked Zhao Tiezhu: "Mr. Zhao, do you still have rooms for rent?"

  "Don't call me Mr. Zhao, just call me Tiezhu, there are rooms available, upstairs and downstairs, how many do you want to rent?" asked Zhao Tiezhu.

  "One room is enough, I'll choose the upstairs one, it has a better view. This place is close to West Lake, I plan to stay here for several months and write."

  "Then come with me and take a look upstairs." Zhao Tiezhu said, taking Cao Ziyu up the stairs.

  Su Yanni looked at Zhao Tiezhu and couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt. Had this sex maniac gone crazy? How could he be so serious all of a sudden?

  He brought Cao Ziying upstairs and pointed to the room on his left, saying that from here you can see the whole West Lake directly. You can go in and take a look.

  Cao Ziyi walked into the room, walked to the window, stared at West Lake outside the window, and her eyes shone with a strange light. Then she turned around and said to Zhao Tiezhu: "This one will do."

  "How long does Miss Cao plan on staying?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "Don't call me Miss Cao anymore, just call me Zi Yi. I plan on staying for half a year. How much is the rent here?"

  "500 a month, all utilities included, and there's even a swimming pool downstairs, just need to split the phone bill." said Zhao Tiezhu.

  Su Yanni, who was following upstairs, heard Zhao Tiezhu's words and couldn't help but roll her eyes. This man rented it to himself for 2000, but rented it to others for only 500. This is also a beauty, why the difference is so big?

  "So cheap?" Cao Zi Yi asked in surprise.

  "Yes, rent is paid once every three months." Zhao Tiezhu said.

  "Alright, here's 1,500." Cao Zi Yi took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to Zhao Tie Zhu. Without even looking at it, Zhao Tie Zhu put it away and then asked, "When are you moving over?"

  "Just wait a moment and I'll be able to move over. I'm going to go get my luggage."

  "I'll help you." Zhao Tiezhu said. After Cao Ziyu walked out of the room, Su Yanni, who was standing aside, couldn't help but say, "Are you kidding me? You rent it to her at such a high price? What's wrong with me?"

  "You? You're better than her in every way, but I'm glad you do, it's none of your business!" Zhao Tiezhu laughed and followed Cao Ziyu out of the villa, leaving behind Su Yanni who was gritting her teeth.

  Before long, Zhao Tiezhu moved his luggage and followed Cao Ziyi back. After settling Cao Ziyi down, Zhao Tiezhu returned to the room, lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. This villa finally had a third person. My happy life as a package renter is not far away.
