Overpowered Resident Doctor-Chapter 177 - 176: Unexpected Tenant

DING-DONG... DING-DONG...

The sudden ringing of the doorbell pulled Yan Feifan from his book.

He glanced at the digital clock on his desk.

9:27 in the evening.

Yan Ziruo was out having a blast with Tian Yu. She'd even said they were going to a movie, so she probably wouldn't be back at this hour.

Besides, they'd use the fingerprint scanner to get in, not ring the doorbell—unless they were trying to mess with him!

'Who could it be? The downstairs neighbors?'

Yan Feifan slipped a bookmark into his book, stood up, and left his room.

He went to the front door, checked the security monitor, froze for a second, and then quickly opened the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Standing at the door was Yu Suye.

She was dressed in a slim, light-colored tracksuit, her hair pulled back into a simple, long ponytail. The look was crisp and sharp.

Her face was flushed, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she was slightly out of breath.

To Yu Suye's right stood a large pink suitcase, at least four feet tall. Strapped to it was a five-foot-long, oval body pillow shaped like a dog.

To her left was a small, black carry-on. She wore a backpack and clutched a pillow with a cartoon dog on it.

"Su Ye, are you moving?"

Another thought struck Yan Feifan. "Are you going back to Jingcheng?" he asked, surprised. "You're not continuing your training here?"

Yu Suye was a bit speechless. She took the opportunity to ask, "Feifan, if I suddenly went back to Jingcheng just like that, would you miss me?"

Yan Feifan thought for a moment before answering seriously, "You have to go back sooner or later. I think I'll miss the time we spent together."

Yu Suye smiled in satisfaction, pulled the small suitcase on her left, and walked into the apartment.

Seeing this, Yan Feifan helped by dragging the large suitcase inside.

The large suitcase was incredibly heavy. Yan Feifan suspected it might be filled with books.

Yu Suye first sized up the living room and the dining room.

Never mind the decorations or the furniture and appliances—the place was so neat and clean it was simply a comfort to look at.

Yu Suye placed the pillow on the living room sofa, took off her backpack, and turned to look at Yan Feifan, who was standing awkwardly to the side.

She mentally prepared herself, then put on a pitiful expression.

"Feifan, a pipe burst in my apartment. The whole floor is flooded."

"The repairman said it would take at least half a month to dry out and lay down a new floor."

"Feifan, you wouldn't turn away a poor homeless girl like me, would you?"

As she spoke, Yu Suye blinked her eyes hard.

She'd tried to squeeze out a tear or two for sympathy, but with no actual sadness to draw on, she settled for a seductive gaze instead.

However, Yan Feifan didn't seem to react at all.

He just said in a flat tone, "I see. You can stay here for now."

"You can have this guest room."

Yu Suye walked into the secondary bedroom, the guest room next to Yan Feifan's bedroom, to take a look.

The guest room wasn't small, about seventeen or eighteen square meters. It had a 1.2-meter bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and other simple furniture.

The downside was that it only had a window, no balcony, and certainly no bathroom.

Yu Suye left the guest room, glanced at the stairs leading to the attic, and walked right over to them.

Yan Feifan, following behind her, said sheepishly, "The attic... it hasn't been cleaned in a long time."

The Yan siblings had only run up to the attic with any enthusiasm right after they moved in, especially to go out onto the terrace to enjoy the view of the residential community and Binhai University, which was just across the road.

But once you get used to the view, it's nothing special.

The apartment was a bit big, and Yan Ziruo was lazy by nature.

Although Yan Feifan was a bit of a neat freak, his desire to clean it outstripped his energy, so the attic's cleanliness was gradually forgotten.

Yan Feifan turned on the lights in the small sloped-ceiling room in the attic, the hallway, and the terrace outside.

Yu Suye first walked into the sloped-ceiling room and found that it was surprisingly spacious, nearly thirty square meters.

But the small room was very empty. It contained a snooker table, a coffee table, a dozen or so armchairs, and a barbecue grill.

"You know how to play snooker?" Yu Suye asked curiously.

Yan Feifan shook his head. "Mr. Wang left all this behind."

Yu Suye let out a soft "Oh," left the small room, passed through another door, and arrived on the fifteen- or sixteen-square-meter terrace.

The terrace was also quite empty, with only two large, folded, cream-colored canvas umbrellas.

Yu Suye stood at the terrace railing, admiring the surrounding night view and feeling the soft, warm night breeze on her face.

"Feifan, I've decided. I want to live in the attic."

Yan Feifan let out a surprised "Ah?" and tried to dissuade her. "The attic is a bit messy, and there's nothing up here."

"It'll be a lot of trouble to clean it up."

Yu Suye turned to look at Yan Feifan, chuckled, and said, "Feifan, when it comes to making myself comfortable, I'm not afraid of a little trouble."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of cleaning the attic and all the expenses. You and Ruoruo don't have to worry about a thing."

Yan Feifan didn't understand at all. He tried to reason with her, "Su Ye, you're only staying for a couple of weeks. Is this really necessary?"

Yu Suye's face, which had just returned to its normal color, flushed again.

"Even if it's temporary, I still want to be comfortable!"

She also felt that her words weren't very convincing, so she just said it directly, "Feifan, I'll be blunt..."

"I've fallen in love with... your... attic."

"You know, there are a lot of people in my apartment building, and the soundproofing isn't great. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"And this attic of yours is just sitting here, empty."

"Feifan, how about you rent it to me?"

"For the rent, just name a price."

In the blink of an eye, Yu Suye had gone from a temporary guest to a long-term tenant, leaving Yan Feifan a bit stunned.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, then said, "It's not a big problem on my end, but my sister is usually the one who makes these kinds of decisions."

Yu Suye's smile was more brilliant than any flower. She said cheerfully, "As long as you agree, it'll be fine. I'm sure Ruoruo won't have a problem with it, either."

"Hey, where is Ruoruo?"

Yan Feifan answered honestly, "She went out shopping with Xiaoyu. They should be back soon."

Yu Suye said "Oh" softly. "I'll stay in the guest room for tonight. We can sort out the attic after we get back from Jingcheng..."

Yan Feifan went downstairs with Yu Suye and helped her get the guest room ready.

Yu Suye opened the large suitcase. Inside were neatly folded linens, clothes, and personal items.

She changed the sheets and the duvet cover, put out her own pillow, and hung a few clothes in the wardrobe. Then she took out her pajamas and a set of toiletries.

"That's about everything. I'm all sweaty. I'm going to take a shower first."

Seeing Yu Suye looking at him questioningly, Yan Feifan quickly replied, "You can use the shower in my sister's master bedroom."

"Her bathroom is bigger. Besides a shower, it has a bathtub, and it even has a whirlpool massage function."

Yu Suye shook her head. "A quick shower is all I need."

"It wouldn't be right to use the hostess's bathroom without her permission."

"I'll just use your bathroom..."

Not long after Yu Suye went into the bathroom, Yan Ziruo returned with a fully revived Tian Yu, both of them carrying bags of all sizes.

Not seeing her brother and hearing the sound of a shower from the bathroom, Yan Ziruo shouted, "Feifan, I bought you new clothes! You can wear them to Jingcheng tomorrow."

She added excitedly, "Feifan, guess who I saw tonight?"

As she said this, she pushed open the bathroom door.

Yan Ziruo yelled at the figure behind the shower curtain, "Feifan, I saw my old friend, Yin Yue!"

"And that's not even the main thing..."

Just then, the shower curtain was pulled aside, and a head with long hair poked out.

At the sight, Yan Ziruo let out a loud "AHH!", spun around, and scrambled out of the room...
