Chapter Twenty-eight

Jason was washing his hands in the bathroom when he suddenly heard the sound of water from the next cubicle. The gentle sound of the water made his heart skip a beat for some reason.

Oh dear. Could it be that He Tao was using the bathroom again? Jason felt a strange curiosity welling up in him. But alas, there was no way to see. The wall separating them was solid.

He looked around, but there was just a tiny crack in the wall, too narrow to see through under normal circumstances. Special power? An idea suddenly struck Jason. He remembered the unique skill he had learned - the Shampoo Gong. Why not give it a try? With that thought, he concentrated his energy in his dantian and directed it to his eyes.

To his surprise, through the narrow crack between the bricks that he usually couldn't penetrate, he could now make out some details.

It was He Tao's bathroom. A pink piece of clothing was lying beside the bucket, and a small lacy item was hanging on a wire above.

Where was she? Jason wondered. Had she already finished?

There! Finally, he saw her head. That beautiful long hair belonged to He Tao.

I hope you're having a good day, He Tao. Jason thought to himself, quickly dismissing any inappropriate thoughts that had started to form.

But unfortunately, he could only see her head. He wished he could get a better view, but the crack only allowed this limited angle.

After a while, He Tao's head disappeared. Jason was disappointed. He shook his head, feeling frustrated. It was such a rare chance to see something, but the view was so restricted.

The small lacy item hanging on the wire was taken down, and then a leg came into view. The lacy item was put on the foot and then disappeared, along with the leg.

Then, a hand reached into his line of sight, and a blue piece of clothing appeared. Jason was confused. Oh, maybe it was on the other side before. Now he understood.

Another hand appeared, and then he couldn't see anything else.

After a while, He Tao's whole body was in sight. She was already dressed in underwear - the pink lacy one and the blue top. Jason quickly looked away, realizing that he should respect her privacy.

Jason left the bathroom, feeling a bit ashamed of his momentary curiosity.

Back in his room, Jason was still a bit restless. Since he had practiced that special skill, he had noticed some changes in himself, but he knew he had to control his thoughts better.

"Jason," a woman's voice came as he was lost in thought.

Jason looked up and saw it was Fannie. "Sister Fannie, what's up?" Jason said, trying to compose himself.

"Jason, I... I'm in a rush and need to use your toilet." Fannie said, blushing a little. She had knocked on He Tao's door, but there was no answer, and she really needed to go.

"Sure. Go ahead." Jason said with a smile.

"I'll go?" Fannie hesitated.

"Sister Fannie, don't worry. You can use the toilet." Jason quickly explained.

"Is the door okay? I don't want any... issues." Fannie said, half - joking.

Jason laughed and said, "Sister Fannie, don't worry. It's fine."

Fannie walked into the toilet and locked the door.

Jason sat there, thinking about how he needed to be more respectful of others' privacy. But then he noticed a small hole in the toilet door. He immediately scolded himself for even thinking about looking through it and forced himself to look away.

After a while, Fannie came out. "Jason, thank you. I have to go. Let's talk later." Fannie said with a smile.

"Okay. See you." Jason said, watching her leave, determined to be more in control of his actions and thoughts in the future.
