The house next door has been quiet these past few days. I heard from Ah Dong, who lives next door, that he went on a business trip.

Yun Shu checked her phone and it was already 10 p.m. She felt it was getting late and she should wash up and go to bed.

Just then, there was a knock on her outer door.

Yun Shu looked at herself and thankfully hadn't changed out of her pajamas yet. She wondered who was knocking on the door so late, but she seemed to have gotten used to hearing knocking late at night while living here.

Yun Shu opened the door and looked out. What she saw almost made her faint. She immediately closed the door. Who...who is this person?!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person, with a shadow on the ground. But this person was incredibly bizarre and outlandish. In the dead of night, with disheveled hair and a face mask on, a deathly pale face appeared before one's eyes. And what was that clothing? Even Xu Ruo, who always dressed flamboyantly, had never seen anything so artistically dragging on the ground. It was practically like using it as a rag, and all in gray and white. Thankfully, there were lights in the hallway; even she, a medical student and a partial atheist, would have been terrified, thinking it was some kind of Sadako (the Japanese ghost character) coming out to cause trouble.

"You... is something wrong?" Yun Shu was genuinely frightened, and her voice was still trembling as she spoke. She nervously gripped the hem of her dress.

"Ah... don't be scared! I came to borrow your shower gel. I just moved here today and haven't bought all the things I need yet. I was just about to take a shower when I realized I was out. I sweated a lot today and it's so uncomfortable not to shower. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night, haha!" Tan Xiaoqiu said apologetically, having startled the man.

Yun Shu went into the bathroom and got the shower gel for her. "Give it back to me right away after you're done showering. I need to take a shower too." It wasn't that Yun Shu was stingy; a bottle of shower gel only cost a few dozen yuan. It was just that she needed to shower anyway, so she decided to let her use it first.

"Okay, I'll wash it and return it to you soon. Oh! By the way, I live in the third room on this floor, the one two rooms away from yours."

"It's okay, go wash up." The house next door, Yun Shu pointed in the direction she was pointing, that must be next to A Dong's house.

After that woman left, Yun Shu went back to her room and read for a while. That woman had just moved in today. It seemed like she had seen that room before. She originally wanted to rent there, but the tenant there wanted to stay for a few more days, so she gave up and rented this one instead. They were in the same building, and the layout of the houses was similar. Moreover, the landlord had been winking and trying to persuade her to rent this one, saying that it would be safer to live here.

Thinking back on what the landlord said, the safety he mentioned must have been because Xiao Mingkun lived next door. Thinking about her previous interactions with Xiao Mingkun, her face inexplicably flushed red.

She shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it so much. She needed to work hard and make money. Men weren't a necessity for her right now, so she could ignore them. Dating took up time and energy, and she wasn't willing to do that at all.

Yun Shu waited for twenty minutes, and when the woman still hadn't returned the shower gel, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't care, it wasn't anything expensive.

I stood up, grabbed my clean clothes, and was about to walk to the bathroom when I realized I didn't have any shower gel, so I figured I'd just take a quick shower.

Another knock sounded at the door. Yun Shu heard it and thought it must be that girl who had brought the shower gel earlier.

As soon as the door opened, the familiar scent of shower gel wafted out. This time, the girl was dressed quite normally, except that her pajamas were very sexy. Although it was quite late, Yun Shu was extremely reluctant to walk around outside dressed like that.

The girl returned the shower gel to Yun Shu and then said, "Thank you! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tan Xiaoqiu. May I come in and sit for a while?"

When she said that, Yun Shu couldn't refuse, since they were both women, so she invited her in.

"Oh my! Your place is much better than mine. I just moved in today and it's a mess. I don't know how to tidy it up." Xiao Qiu looked at Yun Shu's house. It was simple and uncluttered, with nothing superfluous. It looked very cozy and like a home. Thinking of her own place, her eyes darkened, but she quickly recovered.

"Just a little tidying up is enough to make it habitable."

When she came in, Yun Shu got a good look at Xiao Qiu's face. This time, she had washed her face and was wearing sexy lingerie. Yun Shu noticed that this woman had an enviable tall figure, standing at 1.75 meters, with three-dimensional and sexy features, and long, slender legs. She was a pretty woman.

"Ugh! Easier said than done. You have no idea how much stuff I have. I moved today, and I specifically hired a moving company to help me move everything. They hauled a whole truckload, including several bags of clothes. Tsk tsk... I'm exhausted!"

Yun Shu smiled without saying a word, thinking about her few clothes and how Xu Ruo had helped with the move. She was secretly glad she didn't have much stuff. She had heard her roommates say before that when girls had too much stuff, some male colleagues would avoid them when they heard about moving dorms or house. For example, her good friend Yi Yi was a real character; she had more stuff than everyone else in the dorm.

"I'm an amateur model. And you? Oh, by the way, what's your name?" Xiao Qiu touched her forehead, having completely forgotten the other person's name.

Although Yun Shu didn't particularly like this person—she found the girl to be very outspoken, especially given her attire and age (she seemed quite young), and her directness—her expressions and eyes suggested someone who had experienced much in life. Her eyes, in particular, darted around restlessly. It turned out she was a model, practically part of the entertainment industry. That place was complicated, but since they lived on the same floor, they would likely run into each other again. Even if she didn't like her, she should still tell her her name as a sign of respect.

"My name is Gu Yunshu, you can just call me Yunshu. I'm currently interning at a hospital."

"Ah! You work at a hospital? You're so young, you must be a nurse." Xiao Qiu looked down on Yun Shu as soon as she heard that. She wore glasses and dressed in an old-fashioned way, with no sense of style at all. People like her are usually obedient girls who work hard all month and earn a pitiful salary.

Yun Shu didn't know what Xiao Qiu was thinking. She just saw the contempt in Xiao Qiu's eyes when she spoke and thought that she should have less contact with her in the future. They were not the same kind of people.

"I guess so. I'm still doing an internship. It's getting late, I need to take a shower, let's talk another day."

"Okay, just don't mind me bothering you so much in the future. Wait, I heard from the landlord that this place is very safe. Do you know who Brother Kun is?"
