TVSFPAG -Chapter 46 Hanging on Him Like an Octopus

Not long after the two of them left, Old Madam Chen returned, walking with unsteady steps.

Seeing the items at her doorstep, the elderly woman froze for a moment and looked around, but there was no one in the corridor.

She turned and knocked on the neighboring door.

A middle-aged woman peeked out and smiled. “Aunt Chen, you’re back?”

Seemingly aware of the elderly woman’s purpose, the woman pointed at the pile of items on the ground. “Oh, right. The community people came by earlier and brought you some things. I asked Dazhui to help carry them in for you.”

Without waiting for the elderly woman to respond, the woman called into the house.

Soon after, a burly man came out and silently helped carry the items into the elderly woman’s home.

There were indeed some kind-hearted volunteers in the community who would use their own money to deliver supplies to elderly people living alone.

However, since Old Madam Chen had a son whose job was quite good, she was not included on the list of people receiving such assistance.

She kept asking the neighbor next door, but the woman insisted it was from the community. In the end, Old Madam Chen had no choice but to believe her.

Looking at the pile of items in the corner of her home, Old Madam Chen fell into deep thought.

Song Yunfei had already returned to their rental place. After running around with Quanquan at night, she was exhausted. She turned on the air conditioner and collapsed directly onto the sofa.

Turning her head, she saw Chu Jinhan carrying Quanquan into the bathroom.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Giving it a bath.”

“…”

Alright, his cleanliness obsession had flared up again—now even the dog wasn’t spared.

Within less than two minutes, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Another minute later, Song Yunfei saw the soaking-wet dog dart out of the bathroom.

Immediately after, Chu Jinhan chased after it as well.

Seeing the water stains all over the floor, a vein on his forehead twitched.

Song Yunfei couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the little guy running around the house.

It seemed completely unaware that its owner was already angry. It even thought they were playing—its tail wagged so fast it looked like a fan, splashing water everywhere.

In a flash, Chu Jinhan rushed forward, grabbed the mischievous little dog, lifted it by the scruff of its neck, and carried it back into the bathroom again.

Song Yunfei quickly got up from the sofa and ran to the bathroom.

Chu Jinhan held the dog down with one hand while holding the showerhead with the other, giving it a bath.

The little guy was very restless, struggling hard in his hands. It didn’t bite, just kept wriggling.

“Let me help you,” Song Yunfei said.

She stepped forward, took the showerhead from him, and squatted down. “You hold it down, I’ll wash it.”

Chu Jinhan responded, using both hands to hold the dog so Song Yunfei could wash it.

Song Yunfei applied pet shampoo onto Quanquan’s body. Due to its constant struggling, her face and body were soon covered in water and foam, and Chu Jinhan wasn’t in much better shape either.

“Ah, where does it get all this energy from?” Song Yunfei said, wiping her face before continuing to rinse the dog.

“Maybe it’s because the washing method isn’t right,” Chu Jinhan replied. As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced up and caught sight of her collar, the view suddenly and unexpectedly entering his line of sight.

It immediately left him with nowhere to place his gaze.

“Turn it over for it.”

Chu Jinhan snapped back to his senses and silently turned the dog over.

With their joint effort, they finally managed to wash the troublesome dog clean.

Chu Jinhan grabbed a towel, wrapped the dog in it, and carried it out. “You go shower first. I’ll go dry it.”

Song Yunfei looked at the water on her body and nodded. She went out to get her pajamas and returned to take a shower.

However, as she was washing, out of the corner of her eye she noticed something dark poking out from the drain under the sink.

Song Yunfei instinctively turned off the water and slowly bent down to take a closer look.

It would have been fine not to look—but the moment she did, the dark object immediately darted out.

It turned out to be a huge rat!

It was actually about the size of her foot.

The rat also froze, standing there and staring at her for two seconds.

“……”

“Ahhh!”

Startled by her scream, the rat forgot the way back and began running frantically all over the bathroom.

Unfortunately, the bathroom was too small, leaving neither of them anywhere to escape. Both were scrambling and darting about.

Song Yunfei suddenly grabbed the showerhead and started throwing whatever she could reach in the bathroom at the rat.

The rat dodged quickly and actually charged straight toward her.

Outside, Chu Jinhan, who was drying Quanquan, also heard the commotion. He immediately tossed the hairdryer and the dog aside and headed toward the bathroom.

Just as he reached the door, it suddenly opened from inside.

A naked figure rushed out, then leapt straight into his arms, hanging onto him.

“Help!!”

……

Chu Jinhan froze in place and looked up.

Just in time to see the big black rat flash past and quickly disappear down the drain.

He withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to the person hanging onto him. “What’s wrong?”

“There was a huge rat! So big! Did you see it!”

Song Yunfei clung tightly around his neck, her legs wrapped around his waist, her face buried in the crook of his neck. The water from her hair soaked into Chu Jinhan’s shirt.

Chu Jinhan placed a hand around her waist and said calmly, “I saw it.”

“Then hurry and go kill it!”

“If you keep holding onto me like this, how am I supposed to?”

The air fell silent again.

Song Yunfei stiffened all over, hanging from his neck like an octopus, not daring to move at all.

An awkward, strange atmosphere spread through the air.

A wave of heat surged up to her head. She felt her face, ears, neck—even her entire body—burning instantly.

Her expression kept changing. In the end, she closed her eyes in embarrassment, feeling utterly defeated, even wanting to find a hole to crawl into.

Chu Jinhan held her and turned to walk toward the sofa.

In her overwhelming shame, by the time he reached the sofa and slightly bent down as if to put her down, Song Yunfei still refused to let go.

It was too embarrassing. She didn’t want to live in this world anymore. Being placed on the sofa like this, completely unclothed—how could she ever face Chu Jinhan again?

“Last time you saw a rat, why didn’t you react like this?”

His voice seemed to carry a hint of a smile, startling Song Yunfei into suddenly looking up.

Chu Jinhan didn’t seem to expect her sudden movement either. Their eyes met directly.

His face remained expressionless as usual, but Song Yunfei, quick enough, still caught the fleeting trace of a smile in his eyes.

She froze, completely forgetting her current posture.

Under her fixed gaze, Chu Jinhan’s throat moved slightly as he swallowed.

He also stared deeply at her. The already close distance between them seemed to draw even nearer.

“Aren’t you going to get down?” he asked in a low voice, his breath brushing against her face.

Unknowingly, his hand had moved from her waist to her legs.

Song Yunfei snapped back to reality and tried to get down, but hesitated because she wasn’t wearing any clothes.

Besides, the man was still holding her legs—wasn’t that an indication that he wanted her down?

But the next second, the man lowered his head and kissed her.
