Chapter 008 Whimsical and Quirky

Chu Ge had nothing much on him except for those two hundred yuan, so moving in was naturally very simple. The villa was not small, with three vacant rooms downstairs alone. Mu Bingtong was pretty generous about room selection, but strictly forbade Chu Ge from stepping upstairs.

According to that bratty Shen Yaoyao, upstairs was their private domain, and if he went up, that would make him a perverted creep!

Ever since he stepped through the door, Shen Yaoyao's gaze towards him carried a hint of ill-intent, while Mu Bingtong looked at him with a trace of pity.

Shen Yaoyao had this quirky personality, and she knew that if this man wanted to live here peacefully in the future, it would probably be wishful thinking...

After Chu Ge chose his room, Mu Bingtong took out a bank card: "This will be your salary card from now on. I will deposit the money into it every month. The one hundred thousand yuan for this month is already in there. Go buy yourself some clothes and throw these rags away!"

Maybe it was because she was used to being in a commanding position, Mu Bingtong's tone carried a hint of command. Chu Ge raised an eyebrow but didn't say much, just pocketed the card.

"I'm off to the company now, you two get along well!" When talking about getting along well, Mu Bingtong couldn't help but glance at Shen Yaoyao and then turned her gaze back to Chu Ge, showing a bit of pity.

Crap, does she really believe that I can't handle this bratty girl?

Chu Ge secretly gritted his teeth but didn't show it, instead, he put on an honest face and gave a simple smile to the two women.

Not long after Mu Bingtong left, Shen Yaoyao showed her little devil-like nature, smiled mysteriously at Chu Ge, and leaned in to ask: "Hey, you pervert, while Sister Mu is not around, do you want to check out her room? Hehe, there are lots of things you wouldn't expect!"

It was obviously a trap! Chu Ge glanced at her sideways, the words "I'm setting you up" practically written on her forehead.

However, this guy pretended to be lustful, drooling as he said: "Want! Want to see!"

"Harboring evil intentions indeed!" Shen Yaoyao turned and walked up the stairs. Seeing Chu Ge closely following her, with her fists clenched, she muttered: "Hmph, today I must reveal your perverted true colors. Kneel down and call me grandma!"

As they climbed the stairs, Shen Yaoyao seemed to nonchalantly slap the handrail, but Chu Ge felt a sudden void under his feet – the stair tread had retracted unbeknownst to him!

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have had a terrible fall.

But Chu Ge simply placed his left hand on the handrail, and miraculously leapt up one to two meters high, jumping over the several steps without boards, and landed right behind Shen Yaoyao.

"Ah—"

Shen Yaoyao was startled, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart; this dang rogue, he seems to be quite capable?

But she didn't completely lose her nerve – the "treasures" upstairs, even several old soldiers from her brother's unit had fallen for them, she didn't believe this scoundrel could escape them!

Past the stairs was a corridor about ten meters long with three rooms lined up, all doors securely locked. Shen Yaoyao didn't hesitate, leading Chu Ge straight to the third room's door.

"This is Sister Mu's room. Go on in, rest assured, I won't tell Sister Mu!"

Shen Yaoyao smiled like a little fox. Facing others she might have concealed her emotions, but facing Chu Ge, she clearly dreamed of watching him meet his misfortune.

"Oh!" Chu Ge smiled, then gently grasped the doorknob, slightly opening the door a crack.

A sense of entrapment emanated from the doorway, and if his sensitivity wasn't beyond ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have noticed these subtle differences.

At the same time, through the crack of the door, Chu Ge also saw a thin wire stretched into the darkness.

"Open it, don't tell me a big man like you is still afraid of the dark!" Shen Yaoyao pushed Chu Ge on the waist, urging him impatiently.

"Click—"

The door flung open, the thread snapped instantly, and an object about the size of a human head rushed out from inside the house, bringing a whoosh of breaking wind!

It all happened in the blink of an eye; ordinary people wouldn't have time to react. As the bag was about to hit Chu Ge's face, Shen Yaoyao had even revealed a smug smile.

However, sometimes surprises come so unexpectedly.

The moment the door opened, Chu Ge had already ducked down, revealing Shen Yaoyao behind him who was grinning widely.

"Ha ha ha ha—BOOM—"

A bag of flour, fluttering everywhere, the dull thud suddenly interrupted Shen Yaoyao's loud laughter.

"Pfft—"

Seeing Shen Yaoyao in front of him, wrapped in flour and only her big eyes visible, Chu Ge couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ha ha—well... ha ha ha, I didn't mean that, just... ha ha ha ha..."

"Stink! Pervert!" A piercing scream almost broke through the roof, Shen Yaoyao puffed her cheeks, but it looked ridiculously like a flour-coated bun.

"Cough cough—" Chu Ge coughed, though he was almost bursting with laughter inside, still managed to put on a confused, innocent look: "Wait, didn't you say this is Mu Bingtong's room? How come this thing was here?"

"You—" Shen Yaoyao's eyes widened, and when her gaze jumped to the room behind, she somehow managed to suppress her anger and squeezed out a smile: "Well, you know, Sister Mu is so beautiful, what if someone has bad intentions? So some necessary security measures must be in place."

"I see!" Chu Ge tried hard to suppress his laughter, nodding seriously.

"Then hurry up and get in, victory is right before your eyes!" Shen Yaoyao, without even wiping off the flour, dragged Chu Ge into the room. You'd think she was very enthusiastic—of course, you have to ignore the gritting teeth.

The color of the third piece of flooring in the room was slightly different from the others, of course, you couldn't really see it unless you looked closely.

However, what Shen Yaoyao didn't expect was that Chu Ge paused for a moment, then actually stepped over that piece of floor.

What happened next was similar; Chu Ge seemed to casually move around, and all the traps in the room failed to work—either dodged or directly destroyed!

At this point, Chu Ge was no longer in the mood for jokes, turning his head to Shen Yaoyao with a smile: "Little girl, no more tricks up your sleeve?"

"You... you knew all along?" Shen Yaoyao's eyes widened.

"Otherwise?" Chu Ge casually flicked off a thread on the chair and then sat down on it: "I was playing with these things when you probably didn't even know where you were."

But just as Chu Ge sat down on the chair, Shen Yaoyao suddenly revealed a mischievous smile: "Stinky pervert, do you know what it means to be caught off guard?"

"Snap—"

A soft sound, and the door of the room suddenly closed.
