Chapter 170: Great D-level Powerhouse — Su Qinghe

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Great D-level Powerhouse — Su Qinghe

"I’d love to see that courtesan’s ’backyard flower’!"

Gu Yifan leaned against the railing, gazing at the stunning night view of the Qinhuai River, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"?????"

Su Qinghe shot him a completely baffled look.

She had a feeling something was off about what Gu Yifan said, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

"Too bad it’s so late. We can’t take a boat tour."

Gu Yifan didn’t notice Su Qinghe’s strange reaction. He just continued, "Come on, Hanhan. Let’s go check that out over there."

"Oh, okay."

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

...

By the time the two of them got back to the hotel from the Qinhuai River, it was already 1:30 in the morning.

Although the night breeze by the river had been cool, they had still worked up a bit of a sweat from being out and about.

"Hanhan, go take a shower, and then let’s get to sleep!"

Gu Yifan said.

"Mhm."

Su Qinghe didn’t say much, just gave a soft nod.

Then she grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

A moment later, the sound of the shower running came from the bathroom.

Feeling a bit bored, Gu Yifan turned on the TV and started randomly flipping through the channels.

Suddenly!

He spotted a small object on the table that looked like some kind of remote control.

Curious, he walked over, picked it up, and examined it.

’What is this thing?’

Gu Yifan muttered to himself and casually pressed one of the buttons.

’No reaction?’

He frowned slightly.

"Ah~"

Just then, he heard a startled cry from Su Qinghe in the bathroom.

He turned his head instinctively.

????

Gu Yifan’s eyes instantly went wide as saucers!

The bathroom glass, which had been opaque, was now completely transparent.

Su Qinghe’s flawless figure suddenly appeared right before his eyes!

Their eyes met.

Gu Yifan was completely floored!

’Holy shit!’

’So that’s what this thing is for?!’

Snapping out of it, he forced himself to look calm and asked with a straight face, "Su Hanhan, what’s wrong?"

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be able to see her, Su Qinghe was filled with confusion.

’Could it be that you can only see out from the inside, but not in from the outside?’

’No, that’s not right.’

’But I definitely couldn’t see outside when I was showering earlier!’

’Am I seeing things?’

"Hanhan, what’s wrong?"

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"If you don’t answer, I’m coming in!"

Gu Yifan said this while admiring the beautiful scenery in the bathroom, once again pretending he couldn’t see a thing.

"Ah?"

Hearing Gu Yifan say he was coming in, Su Qinghe panicked. She quickly blurted out, "N-Nothing’s wrong! I’m fine!"

"Oh, okay."

"As long as you’re okay!"

Gu Yifan said coolly, still looking right at her.

Although Su Qinghe thought he couldn’t see her, from her perspective, Gu Yifan was standing right in front of her, staring at her. Her face couldn’t help but turn a faint shade of red.

After that, Gu Yifan didn’t keep staring, lest he give himself away.

But the image of her pale skin lingered in his mind, impossible to shake.

’I gotta say...’

’Su Qinghe’s figure is really something else!’

’Even though he knew her figure was good from holding her before, he never expected it to be *this* good!’

’Especially her generous assets... they were simply extraordinary!’

’At least... a Great D-level expert!’

’Our future kids probably won’t have to worry about their milk supply.’

’And that fleeting glimpse of her... fragrant meadow... made Gu Yifan want to stand at attention and salute!’

Shaking his head, Gu Yifan quickly banished those improper thoughts from his mind.

While Su Qinghe wasn’t looking, he quickly switched the bathroom glass back to opaque.

"Huh???"

When Su Qinghe was almost done with her shower, she suddenly noticed she couldn’t see outside through the glass anymore...

She stared at the scene before her, utterly baffled, and even walked up to touch the glass.

She confirmed that she could no longer see out from the inside.

’This...’

’Then... what on earth just happened?’

’Did I imagine it? Am I seeing ghosts?!’

At that moment, Su Qinghe couldn’t help but start questioning her own sanity...

Even after she came out, she was still thinking about it!

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t figure it out!

"Ahem?"

"Hanhan, you’re done with your shower!"

"I’ll go take one too, and then we can sleep!"

Gu Yifan said casually, looking at her.

It was as if nothing had happened just now!

"Mhm."

Su Qinghe nodded distractedly. Then she looked at Gu Yifan, her mouth slightly open, looking as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.

"What is it?"

Gu Yifan asked, playing dumb.

"I..."

Su Qinghe hesitated. She furrowed her little brow, debating whether or not she should tell Gu Yifan what had just happened.

After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Gu Yifan and said quietly, "Just now when I was showering, I think I could see you outside, but then suddenly I couldn’t anymore."

"Oh?"

Gu Yifan almost burst out laughing.

"Is that so?"

Forcibly suppressing his laughter, he asked with a straight face, "Something like that happened?"

"I-It’s true. I saw you."

Su Qinghe said, her little brow furrowed.

"Oh, you mean you could see out at the beginning, but by the time you finished your shower, you couldn’t?"

"Yes."

Su Qinghe nodded with a serious expression.

"Hmm... maybe the hotel bathroom glass has a heat-sensitive effect. You were using hot water, right? The steam in the bathroom raised the temperature, turning the glass transparent. Then when you finished your shower, the temperature dropped, and the glass went back to normal!"

Gu Yifan mused for a moment before spouting this complete nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

After Gu Yifan’s explanation, Su Qinghe felt like it actually made sense.

But then she started to worry again. If the glass became transparent, wouldn’t that mean Gu Yifan could have seen her just now?

The mere thought of it made Su Qinghe...

"But the glass must be one-way. You can’t see in from the outside. I didn’t see you at all just now!"

Gu Yifan added, right on cue.

"Oh?"

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up slightly. Hearing this, she finally breathed a small sigh of relief, though she was still a little suspicious.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan said, "Well, if you don’t believe me, I’ll go take a shower now. You can see for yourself if you can see me from out here!"

With that, Gu Yifan got up and went into the bathroom to shower.

SHHHHH—

A moment later, the sound of the shower running came from the bathroom.

Su Qinghe glanced at the bathroom glass and saw that you really couldn’t see inside from the outside.

’Hmm... that "Big Bully" didn’t lie to me. You really can’t see in.’

And so, she finally and completely believed what Gu Yifan had just said.

...
