Chapter 69: Can You Be More of a Pain in the Ass

  To move house, Gao Qi took a day off specifically, handed her work over to others, and drove her Chevrolet to help Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu transport their luggage.

  Actually, Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu didn’t have much stuff, just a few bags of clothes, so one Chevrolet was just about enough.

  When they arrived at the villa, Gao Qi and Xu Danlu were both dumbfounded. So this was the new home Zhang Yang mentioned? A villa? This was way too much!

  She had thought Zhang Yang would at most get a two-bedroom apartment, but now a five-story seaside villa stood before them, right next to the university campus. Such a prime location, such a huge building area—this was fucking unreal.

  “This can’t be real, right?” Gao Qi pinched Xu Danlu’s elbow hard. After confirming she wasn’t dreaming, she jumped with joy, spread her arms wide, spun around in front of the villa gate, and said, “Lulu, this is awesome! Now even if you moan again, you don’t have to worry about anyone hearing it.”

  Xu Danlu was speechless: “Hmph, Sister Qi, I won’t argue with you for now, but tonight we’ll see who moans louder.”

  Qiao Xier had long hired two hourly workers from nearby to clean daily, so the three of them could move in right away. Zhang Yang chose a seaside room on the second floor, Room 202. He originally thought Xu Danlu would choose to stay with him, but when the girl saw how big the place was, she picked the adjacent Room 203, saying she needed her own privacy and space.

  Although Gao Qi didn’t say she would live there permanently, she still ran up to the third floor, pacing back and forth, looking for a room for herself.

  In the end, she set her eyes on Room 302—a guest room with a locked door.

  “Zhang Yang, where’s the key?”

  Gao Qi looked at the closed door, clearly unwilling to give up, because the room was directly above Zhang Yang’s and also seaside-facing—a prime spot.

  But unlike the other rooms, this one was tightly locked. Each room in the villa, aside from having a regular lock, also had a fingerprint scanner by the door that stored the owner’s fingerprint data. So only the room’s owner could enter. Of course, there was one exception—Zhang Yang could use the villa master password to forcibly unlock it.

  But this room, Zhang Yang couldn’t give to Gao Qi. The reason was simple—it belonged to Qiao Xier.

  “Someone’s living here!” Zhang Yang hesitated for a while before admitting it.

  Seeing Zhang Yang’s strange expression, Gao Qi immediately caught on. She glanced at him, clasped her hands behind her back, walked around the door a few times, then smiled slightly and asked, “A girl?”

  Just as Zhang Yang was about to answer, Gao Qi cut him off: “Wait, let me guess.”

  “If I’m not wrong, it’s Qiao Xier, right?”

  Zhang Yang looked at Xu Danlu beside him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and admitted, “Yeah, but there’s nothing between us!”

  But his words were useless. Gao Qi turned to pinch Xu Danlu’s boobs, muttering with a grin, “Lulu, we’ve got competition now.”

  “Sister Qi, Sister Qiao isn’t that kind of person,” Xu Danlu frowned and said.

  “Exactly! That’s the worst part! She’s not that kind of person, and that’s why it sucks. Think about it—she and Zhang Yang aren’t even a couple, so when we’re fucking this jerk, wouldn’t you feel awkward? Her room is right above his! You—would you dare moan out loud? Would you dare run around naked from your room to the living room? Would you dare do that ‘old man car thing’ on the couch in the living room…”

  Shit! I don’t even know you! Seeing Gao Qi acting so shameless, Zhang Yang was speechless. Damn, this crazy woman’s wild side was terrifying—so what if her boobs were big?

  But honestly, she wasn’t entirely wrong. Sometimes it really was inconvenient. Especially with these two women who were noisy as hell. Gao Qi always teased Xu Danlu, but she was the real screamer. When they started moaning together, it’d be like a fucking symphony—Qiao Xier would probably be in tears upstairs.

  But Qiao Xier had told him before that the soundproofing in every room of this villa was excellent, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

  In the end, Gao Qi chose Room 402 as her bedroom. The reason was obvious—it was right above both Qiao Xier’s and Zhang Yang’s rooms. She was clearly feeling smug about it.

  Zhang Yang’s own room was simply furnished: a wardrobe, a desk, a computer, and a bed. On the wall opposite the bed hung an LED TV.

  Aside from that, they hadn’t bought any other items like bedding or daily necessities—not because of lack of money, but lack of time.

  After unpacking, the three decided to go to the supermarket to buy some supplies.

  But before they even reached the door, a large truck slowly pulled up and stopped at the villa gate.

  Then Zhang Yang got a call from Professor Shangguan.

  “Xiao Zhang, aren’t you moving? The institute doesn’t have much to offer, so I allocated some funds to help you get a few essentials. The lab’s taking a half-day break today—Wu Hao and the others will come over to lend a hand.”

  Sure enough, as soon as Professor Shangguan hung up, Qiao Xier and the others showed up at the villa gate.

  That truck looked like it was carrying a whole grocery store—they brought a ton of daily necessities, from bedding and quilts to toothpaste, toothbrushes, even sanitary pads and Durex. Practically everything you could think of.

  The entire lab came too—Qiao Xier, Wu Hao, Tian Tian, Ye Xiaoru, and the one who gave Zhang Yang the biggest headache, Liu Zixuan.

  When Liu Zixuan saw Zhang Yang, Xu Danlu, and Gao Qi together, she looked at him enviously and shouted,

  “Wow, Senior! Two beauties! So you guys can totally have a threesome!”

  Xu Danlu didn’t react much, but Gao Qi laughed, walked straight up, and put her arm around Liu Zixuan’s shoulder: “Hey, girl, kindred spirits! A threesome’s too few—you should join in, make it a foursome!”

  Zhang Yang looked at Xu Danlu, then at Qiao Xier’s darkened face, and quickly turned away. Damn, these two crazy women together—disaster incoming.

  With the lab crew’s help, Zhang Yang’s new home was finally settled, but after finishing up, Tian Tian and Liu Zixuan made a demand.

  Each wanted their own room as labor payment for helping out.

  Tian Tian chose Room 303 to stay with Qiao Xier, and Liu Zixuan chose to room with Gao Qi without hesitation. Wu Hao had a wife, so he didn’t stay. Ye Xiaoru, rumor had it, was hooking up with a junior student recently, so she didn’t join either.

  So now the villa temporarily had six residents—Zhang Yang, Xu Danlu, Qiao Xier, Tian Tian, Liu Zixuan, and Gao Qi. One man, five women.

  After a busy afternoon, once everything was done and divided up, Xu Danlu looked at the pile of groceries and suggested, “Let’s all have a meal together!”

  Her suggestion immediately got everyone’s approval. Clearly, these guys came hungry and were now starving.

  The idea was good, but when it came to who’d cook, everyone froze!

  They realized not a single one of them could cook. After some interrogation, the only ones barely capable of handling a spatula were Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu. The rest were all lazy freeloaders waiting to be fed.

  So Zhang Yang and Xu Danlu were shoved into the kitchen to make dinner.

  As Zhang Yang cooked, he thought to himself, Shit, I really need to hire a chef. There were already six mouths to feed here, and none of them could cook for shit.

  After making seven dishes and two soups, the group sat down to eat. But instead of being grateful, they pouted and complained that the food tasted bad—especially Liu Zixuan. Judging by her face, if not for the crowd, she probably would’ve spat it out.

  After dinner, Wu Hao and Ye Xiaoru left, leaving the six fake owners of the villa behind to hold a ‘family meeting.’

  As the villa owner, Zhang Yang was naturally... relegated to the lowest seat. This was a women’s world—he had to get out of the way.

  Zhang Yang yawned, pulled a chair aside, and dozed off in the corner. Even if he said anything, they’d just ignore him.

  But just then, the Nuwa System suddenly popped up acting cute.

  【M-level mission reminder: Find the Star Menders Program side mission. As the system has been active for one month, the monthly Find the Star Menders mission is now initiated.

  Shit! Zhang Yang, who had been half-asleep, jolted awake. Within twenty meters? Are you fucking kidding me? Within twenty meters were five arguing beauties!

  Damn system, do you think it’s that easy to grab a beauty’s boobs? And this time there’s five of them!
