Hearing the scream, Lin Kuang's expression changed drastically. He sprang up from the bed and rushed upstairs in an instant. Liu Shiyu also heard it, which startled her at first, and then she too ran for the stairs. But how could she possibly match Lin Kuang's speed? Before she even reached the staircase, he had already dashed up.
Arriving at a doorway, Lin Kuang kicked it open and charged directly inside. The next moment, he froze on the spot. He was in the bathroom, and before the stunned Lin Kuang could react, a soaking-wet Liu Shilin jumped right onto him, clinging to his body as tightly as an octopus.
"Quick, there's a cockroach! There's a cockroach!" Liu Shilin shrieked as she held onto him.
Lin Kuang snapped back to reality in an instant, his eyes filled with a touch of helplessness. It's just a cockroach. I thought someone was attacking you. You scared me to death.
With that thought, Lin Kuang stepped into the bathroom, located the wretched cockroach, and eliminated it. Once things had calmed down, however, he found it hard to stay composed. It's been over a year since I've even touched a girl, and now a beauty like this is draped all over me. It'd be a lie to say I'm not moved. After all, I'm no Liu Xiahui, nor am I a eunuch. How could I not be?
Meanwhile, Liu Shilin, her eyes squeezed shut, was still holding onto Lin Kuang tightly, seemingly oblivious to her predicament.
Just then, Liu Shiyu came running up from downstairs. Having just reached the top of the stairs, she was stunned by the scene before her and stood there, rooted to the spot. The next moment, the little Witch came to her senses and pointed a finger at Lin Kuang. "You pervert! Let go of that girl and let me do it!"
"Oh, no, that's not right! You stinky pervert, let go of my sister!" Realizing her slip-up, the little Witch stuck out her tongue and charged fiercely toward Lin Kuang.
Hearing Liu Shiyu's shouting, Liu Shilin also snapped out of it. She opened her eyes and assessed her current situation. The next moment, a scream several times louder than the first erupted from her red lips, a sound that seemed like it could echo around the villa for three days straight.
「Ten minutes later.」
The three of them reappeared in the living room. Lin Kuang's pajamas were soaked, and he looked helplessly at Liu Shilin and Liu Shiyu. Liu Shilin's face was beet red, and she kept stealing glances at him. Meanwhile, Liu Shiyu, the little Witch, stood with her hands on her hips, glaring daggers at him.
"Spill it, you damn stinky pervert! What exactly did you do to my sister?" the little Witch demanded fiercely.
Spreading his hands helplessly, Lin Kuang explained, "I swear, I heard Shilin scream and thought something was wrong, so I rushed upstairs and kicked the door open. The next thing I knew, she jumped on me because she saw a cockroach while showering. Besides, this is my first time here. I had no idea that was the bathroom. I really didn't do it on purpose." Even as he spoke, the beautiful image from moments ago kept replaying in his mind, impossible to dismiss.
"Pfft! I think you did it on purpose!" Liu Shiyu retorted, utterly convinced of her own logic. "You must have known it was the bathroom! You did it deliberately because you wanted to peep on my sister! You big pervert, you dirty rascal! I knew you were up to no good the moment you came here, hmph! Sis, kick him out! This creep definitely did it on purpose." She couldn't be bothered to listen to Lin Kuang's explanation.
Hearing her cousin's brazen words, Liu Shilin's already flushed face turned an even deeper shade of red.
But I know he definitely didn't do it on purpose. Just like he said, it's his first time here, so how would he know which room was the bathroom? Besides, I screamed so loudly. The fact that he came running immediately proves he was trying to protect me. Nobody expected things to turn out like this by pure accident.
Honestly, I don't blame Lin Kuang; I just find the whole situation incredibly embarrassing. Won't it be so awkward whenever we see each other from now on? But Dad hired him, so I can't just tell him to leave… For a moment, she truly didn't know what to do.
"Sis, what are you even thinking about?" Liu Shiyu pressed, adding fuel to the fire. "This guy is a huge pervert, a really, really bad person! If he stays here, something is bound to happen sooner or later. Just listen to me and kick him out!"
Lin Kuang looked at Liu Shiyu with resignation. This little Witch is clearly using this as an excuse to stir things up and get me thrown out.
"Little Witch, stop trying to cause trouble. Aren't you tired? Your sister won't fall for it," Lin Kuang couldn't help but say.
"Hmph, I'm not causing trouble! You're clearly a scoundrel, a rogue! I've experienced it firsthand, so how could it be fake?!" Liu Shiyu huffed.
"Experienced it firsthand?" Lin Kuang asked with a mischievous smile. "So tell me, did I steal your first kiss? Or something else? Did I see you naked, or did I ravish you?"
"This… I… this…" Liu Shiyu stood there, mouth agape, stammering for what felt like an eternity without finding a response. Her face turned bright red with frustration.
"Alright, Lin Kuang," Liu Shilin suddenly interjected, her face still flushed. "I know what happened just now was an accident. But I hope you can forget about it and not mention it to anyone, okay?" This is already so embarrassing, and now I have to bring it up myself. Just thinking about it is mortifying.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded. "Okay, don't worry. I'll take this secret to the grave; I will never speak a word of it."
Looking into Lin Kuang's deep, dark eyes and seeing his earnest gaze, Liu Shilin let out a soft sigh of relief. "Okay, I believe you."
"Sis, you can't trust him! What if he barges in again next time?" Liu Shiyu grumbled, dissatisfied.
"Next time there's a cockroach, just wrap yourself in a bath towel before you scream. Then he won't be able to see anything," Liu Shilin replied. "Alright, I'm going upstairs to sleep now."
With that, Liu Shilin turned and went upstairs, leaving Liu Shiyu behind to glare fiercely at Lin Kuang.
