X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 203 - 198: Bai Lan’s Old Neighbors

Originally, he had planned to make do with Bai Lan’s clothes since the washing machine would dry them quickly, and he could wear his own clothes in less than half an hour.

However, Bai Lan’s wardrobe was far too feminine, consisting of nothing but dresses and backless outfits, and even a few bikinis.

"Oh my God, are you kidding me?" Ye Tian laughed and cried simultaneously, "I really can’t wear a dress. Lanlan, would it have killed you to buy a pair of jeans? You’ve really screwed me over this time."

Forcing Ye Tian into a one-piece dress was akin to killing him outright.

Ultimately, Ye Tian gave up on wearing clothes and decided to just wrap himself in a white towel. After all, the washing machine would dry his clothes in another twenty minutes, and then everything would be resolved.

So there Ye Tian sat, wrapped in a white towel on Bai Lan’s sofa, with a snoozing Bai Lan beside him, covered by Ye Tian’s black coat.

"I gotta say, your red wine is excellent, Lanlan. A woman of taste—I like that."

Sipping slowly from a glass of wine, Ye Tian crossed his legs loftily and picked up the remote to watch TV.

The television installation in Bai Lan’s house wasn’t just ordinary cable—it was satellite TV that could access international channels. She didn’t have many hobbies, only liking to watch the News Simulcast and New York News.

"Just like a girl, watching all these financial shows all day. She really is something else."

Ye Tian shook his head with a wry smile, constantly flicking through channels with the remote. The TV cycled from London news to Paris fashion, then to a midday news report, and finally, the screen stopped at a mysterious channel.

He uttered a curious sound, "What is this program about, and why does it require a password? Lanlan, you don’t have some secrets, do you?"

Many satellite channels have encryption features that allow users to set passwords to protect their privacy and prevent outsiders from viewing.

Ye Tian was no decryption expert. He randomly tried a few common six-digit passwords, but all attempts failed.

"Pretty secretive, huh? Could it be her own birthday?" Ye Tian started thinking and soon entered Bai Lan’s birthday into the system.

"Still not right, damn!" Ye Tian felt a bit frustrated.

"Such a tough password must hide a big secret." The more he couldn’t crack it, the more curious he became.

The TV screen showed a cold Japanese text prompt, which Ye Tian somewhat recognized. It essentially said that the initial password was six 8s, and prompted users to change the password, allowing only six attempts. If all six attempts were incorrect, the channel would lock itself, and only a pin could unlock it.

"This Japanese gimmick is really annoying, but I don’t believe it—I have to break it today," he muttered.

Looking at the prompts on the TV screen, Ye Tian pondered, "Could it be the initial password? Very likely. Let’s try that first."

As he entered the six 8s, the blue screen immediately changed, indicating that the channel was unlocked.

"Oh shoot, it was the initial password all along. All that fuss for nothing, so frustrating!"

Ye Tian felt like crying without tears. Had he known it was that simple, why bother thinking too much and not just enter it directly?

"Tsk tsk tsk, it’s actually this kind of program! Definitely not suitable for children."

Seeing what was displayed on the TV, Ye Tian suddenly felt a rush of excitement.

The screen showed a Japanese-style villa, where a hot babe in a bikini lounged by the poolside. From a distance, a very masculine Japanese man approached, and with just a slight smile between them, they started to behave indecently.

"Oh dear, Lanlan can’t possibly be watching this all day, right? Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is too beautiful, I can’t bear to look."

Despite claiming he couldn’t bear to watch, Ye Tian’s eyes were glued to the screen, savoring the show while he grabbed some chips from the coffee table and munched away, completely ignoring Bai Lan sleeping on the sofa.

He had hardly eaten a couple of chips when the TV suddenly went out. It wasn’t just the TV—Bai Lan’s washing machine and air conditioner also turned off simultaneously.

Ye Tian furrowed his brows: "Could it be the legendary power outage? Come on, God, are you kidding me like this!"

As he was busy lamenting, someone knocked at the door. A tender old voice came through, "Xiao Bai, it’s Aunt Zhang from the residents’ committee. The property management asked me to remind you that your family needs to pay the electricity and gas bills."

Knock, knock, knock!

Possibly not hearing a response from inside, Aunt Zhang knocked on the door again, asking affectionately, "Xiao Bai dear, are you home?"

Her coming to collect the bills wasn’t the issue, but the intensity of her knocks had indeed roused Bai Lan.

As Bai Lan woke up groggily and saw Ye Tian, wrapped in her white towel, striding vigorously towards the door, she blinked and instantly felt a sense of foreboding.

With a man and woman alone, and him dressed like that, it would be bizarre if Aunt Zhang didn’t misunderstand. After all, she was known in the community for being quite the loudspeaker, and that could really stir up a storm.

"Ye Tian, don’t open..."

Unfortunately, before Bai Lan finished speaking, Ye Tian had already opened the security door.

Ye Tian, wrapped in a white towel, stood in the doorway, looking at the old lady standing in front of the door, and said, "Hello."

Mrs. Zhang jumped in fright and sized Ye Tian up and down before fixating on the pink cartoon slippers on his feet for a long while before asking, "And who might you be, young man?"

Bai Lan rushed over in a hurry, "It’s not what you’re thinking!"

"So, Bai Lan, you are at home. I thought I knocked on the wrong room." Mrs. Zhang said indifferently, "Young people are so passionate, going about such things openly, today’s society, what chaos!"

Bai Lan, unable to argue, turned red with embarrassment.

She knew the misunderstanding was inevitable, not to mention Ye Tian only wrapped in a white towel; just her wearing Ye Tian’s coat over her slip dress, the revealing fair skin would make anyone suspect, let alone the ever-meddling Mrs. Zhang.

’Damn it, I’ve kept my virtue for 25 years, and this beast Ye Tian ruins it overnight. Whom do I cry to?’ Bai Lan lamented in her heart.

"Okay, you both seem busy, just give me the money, and I’ll make the payment for you," Mrs. Zhang said. Although a gossip, she genuinely cared and did not wear the red armband on her arm for nothing.

"No, no, don’t bother yourself, I’ll make time to go to the service center myself." Bai Lan couldn’t bear to trouble the old lady.

"It’s no trouble," Mrs. Zhang quickly took out the OPPO mobile bought by her daughter, proudly saying, "Now everything is high-tech, payments are made through the phone, very convenient indeed."

Ye Tian readily pulled out five hundred yuan, stuffed it into the old lady’s hand, and said, "Then thank you so much, ma’am."

The embarrassed Bai Lan was eager to see the guest out, quickly saying, "Mrs. Zhang goodbye, come visit us again next time."

"Don’t worry, I, the old lady, don’t want to disturb you young folks too much, I’m leaving now." Mrs. Zhang turned and left.

Bai Lan hurried to close the door, thinking she had finally sent her away, but before the door could shut, it was suddenly pulled open again by Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang poked her head through the door gap, kindly reminding, "Bai Lan, enjoy yourself, but don’t forget safety measures, remember to use a condom, remember that very well."

Bai Lan’s face turned bright red, extending to the roots of her ears; she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Mrs. Zhang walked away from Bai Lan’s building, straightened the red armband on her arm, and entered the community park with an air of authority.

Immediately a group of seniors gathered around her, centering Mrs. Zhang and bombarding her with various questions.

"Come on, tell us, what did you see inside, did anything happen between them?" the nosy old ladies eagerly asked.

"Do you even have to ask that? Can’t you imagine? When dry tinder meets a fierce fire, nothing good comes out of it," Mr. Wang scoffed.

"Mrs. Zhang, do say something, we’re all ears here," Old Qin became impatient, continuing, "Don’t forget, it was you who asked me to turn off Bai Lan’s circuits, you must admit that!"

Old Mr. Liu snorted coldly, "I say, have you all eaten till you’re bloated? Bai Lan is so young and promising, what’s wrong if she has a boyfriend? Must you gossip about it like this?" With another snort, he disdainfully left.

The pivotal Mrs. Zhang cleared her throat, coughed, and declared, "Old Liu, if you don’t want to listen, go home and sleep, nobody cares!"

Coughing again, Mrs. Zhang’s eyes widened as she said, "Let me tell you, Bai Lan’s boyfriend is quite the looker, energetic and all, but there’s one thing, the young man was too hasty, I’m worried Bai Lan might suffer."

"Suffer!" The group was taken aback.

"Guess what, and don’t say I didn’t warn you, when I knocked on the door, that young man was only wearing a towel." Mrs. Zhang, truly the neighborhood’s loudest speaker, narrated animatedly with exaggerated body language, a wasted talent if not on a reality show.

"Just wrapped in a towel!" The seniors gasped in shock.

Mrs. Zhang was animated, "That’s nothing, the shocker is still to come. Bai Lan was wearing just a slip dress, showing off a large expanse of fair skin, you had to see it yourself."

"No way, did you see it wrong?"

"Of course, I didn’t see wrong, I was so close, I’m not blind!" Mrs. Zhang became visibly agitated.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense, I still need to pay the utility bill for that girl Bai Lan, no time to blabber with you all." Mrs. Zhang took out her OPPO phone, proudly flaunting it before the elderly crowd.

Old Wang said, "Alright, I’ll go put Bai Lan’s electric breaker back on; without the air conditioning, the girl will suffer." Saying this, he walked into the building.

Before long, moaning sounds emanated from the building, causing the old men and women to startle briefly before bursting into laughter. They knew the ins and outs of such matters from their youth.
