Chapter 22 - Chapter 17 Co-rental Agreement

Can Xiao Lin say no? Can Xiao Lin actually say no? She's let you touch her, look at her, and now she has such a tiny little request—how can you not agree? Xiao Lin looked helplessly at Xia Xue and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening!"

Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a flash of anger. She's let you touch her, look at her, and now when she makes a tiny suggestion, what is that look? Xia Xue huffed, "What kind of expression is that? Don't you think sharing a house with a great beauty is something to be envied?"

"Yes, yes, of course it's enviable!" Xiao Lin echoed Xia Xue's sentiment, his face full of resignation.

"At least you know how to talk!" Xia Xue paused, then said, "In the future, no matter what time you come back, you have to knock a few times before you open the door. Otherwise, you might see something this little virgin shouldn't see!" After saying this, Xia Xue secretly regretted it, thinking she was supposed to stay serious. Why is she back to joking around?

As Xia Xue said this, Xiao Lin gave her a cheeky look. What she was showing now was actually a bit like what Li Jingyi had described. However, he argued, "I'm not little, neither in age nor stature!"

"I don't know about the rest, but at least your courage is small!" Xia Xue quipped back but then immediately regretted it. Isn't she openly saying Xiao Lin was cowardly last night?

"So what do you mean, how brave should I be?" Unyielding, Xiao Lin sized her up and down, for the first time taking a serious look at Xia Xue—waist-length black hair, sparkling and charming eyes, both beautiful and alluring.

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at Xia Xue and said, "Do I have to dress as if I'm going to work even when I sleep?"

"That's up to you. Anyway, those are my demands, if you can't do it!" Suddenly, Xia Xue froze. What should she do if Xiao Lin can't meet them? Kicking him out is out of the question since he was the original tenant of the house, and she's just co-renting. But then she smirked, thinking her older sister's foresight was brilliant, having anticipated such a situation long ago. Xia Xue said smugly, "If you can't do it, don't blame me for being rude and kicking you out of this house!"

Anger flared up inside Xiao Lin, who disdainfully said, "Dr. Xia, aren't you mistaken? I was the first to rent this house; what gives you the right to kick me out?"

Xia Xue shot a glance at Xiao Lin, then leisurely walked to the sofa's coffee table, pulled out a contract from underneath, and waved it at Xiao Lin. "Sir, please look at the signature. My name is first, which means the house is mainly mine, and you're the co-tenant!"

"..." Xiao Lin was dumbfounded, recalling when signing earlier with Teacher Qi, who clearly handed the contract to him first, but Xia Xue intercepted it midway. Teacher Qi even winked at him. Xiao Lin, not understanding these technicalities at all, hadn't paid attention since both had to sign anyway. Who would have thought it meant this? What a scam!

For some reason, seeing Xiao Lin's dumbfounded expression made Xia Xue feel giddy, and she took advantage, teasing, "Of course, you can refuse now if you have the guts. Leave immediately, and if you're even more gutsy, pay me back the money from the hotel last night—I wouldn't mind!"

What else could Xiao Lin say? In terms of medical skills, Xiao Lin was confident he could beat this Dr. Xia. When it came to physical strength, he could topple her with just a finger. But was Xiao Lin that kind of person? Moreover, he actually enjoyed bickering with Xia Xue. Was he a masochist? The thought scared him for a moment. Damn, I'm a military doctor from the elite Dragon Soul special forces in Huaxia, more likely to have a sadistic tendency than a masochistic one, right?

Isn't there a saying—if you can't resist the strong, then learn to enjoy it.

Xiao Lin dropped the helpless expression and instead looked very pleased, gazing cheekily at Xia Xue. "Alright, I agree to everything. Does Dr. Xia have any other requests? Just say it!"

Xia Xue didn't expect Xiao Lin to change from his earlier resignation to this playful gaze fixed on her. She thought to herself that this kid had pretty good resistance, not losing his temper until now, and she smiled brightly, "Also, you can't bring girls back without my consent—not under any circumstances!"

"And what about you? Are you going to bring men back?" Xiao Lin countered.

"Since the request is for you, of course I will abide by it too. Otherwise, you might say you agree with words but resent it deep down, and that would be meaningless!" Xia Xue seemed to have anticipated Xiao Lin would ask this and answered immediately.
