Chapter 51: A Great Fall from Grace

Soon, Lü Yang confirmed his earlier guess, because Zheng Xiaomei, just like Chen Xingyu, had no idea there was a man hiding inside the glass cabinet under the sink. After standing by the sink for a while, she unfastened her pants and took off her wet trousers.

As expected, Zheng Xiaomei was wearing pink panties underneath. The fabric was minimal but not very see-through. After removing her trousers, she didn’t take off her panties. Instead, she grabbed the bathroom hairdryer, turned her back toward Lü Yang’s direction, and began blowing hot air on the damp parts of her trousers.

White-collar beauties usually dress very formally, but the more formal they appear, the more men feel the urge to strip them bare. Seeing Zheng Xiaomei’s full figure from behind, Lü Yang felt a sudden impulse to rush out and tear off the little fabric covering her, but the thought immediately startled him…

When had he become so wicked? Being forced by the Eerie Computer to complete the task of peeping at a girl showering was one thing, but entertaining such thoughts felt like actively choosing to commit a despicable, indecent act—something absolutely unacceptable.

Even so, Lü Yang couldn’t help but keep watching Zheng Xiaomei through the one-way glass, wishing she would just take all her clothes off herself.

However, Zheng Xiaomei hadn’t come in to take a shower, but only to dry her wet clothes with the hairdryer. The hairdryer was quite powerful, and before long, she had dried her trousers. Then she took off her top and started drying it as well.

Zheng Xiaomei’s figure was full but not fat. When she first entered, Lü Yang noticed her chest was quite perky and guessed she must be well-endowed. Now, even though Zheng Xiaomei had taken off her top, from his position under the sink, Lü Yang could only see up to her navel—anything higher was out of sight.

This left Lü Yang somewhat disappointed, and he began to feel restless and hot. Of course, he immediately began to despise himself… Peeping at a girl showering was already low, but now he was indulging in explicit fantasies right here. It felt like a huge betrayal to his girlfriend Yi Yi, who had been erased by the Eerie Computer.

Besides, if Yi Ya ever found out he was hiding here, spying on women showering and changing, she would surely look down on him intensely—despise him to death—and his image in her eyes would plummet.

Despite his self-reproach, Lü Yang still couldn’t tear his eyes away from Zheng Xiaomei’s body. To a man, a woman’s body is the most beautiful sight in the world—otherwise, why would so many famous painters and photographers make them the subject of their works, calling it “art”?

Of course, what masters view as art often comes across as vulgar to migrant workers.

…

Earlier, when Chen Xingyu came in, she quickly stripped completely naked. Zheng Xiaomei, however, took off some clothes without revealing much. The fact that he wanted to see but couldn’t made the temptation even stronger for Lü Yang. Plus, while Chen Xingyu was too young, Zheng Xiaomei was a mature woman, which intensified Lü Yang’s lustful thoughts, making his hormones surge wildly.

Unable to see Zheng Xiaomei’s proud assets, Lü Yang tried lowering his head a bit, hoping to get a better view upward. Unexpectedly, the movement disturbed something in the glass cabinet, producing a sharp “crack” sound from under the sink.

Zheng Xiaomei clearly heard the noise. She crouched down, furrowed her brow, and looked under the sink, reaching out to try and open the glass cabinet door!

Lü Yang was startled and quickly pressed firmly on the latch inside to keep the door shut. After tugging a few times without success, Zheng Xiaomei let go. She looked puzzled and examined the glass cabinet door more closely.

From Lü Yang’s perspective, if not for the one-way glass between them, Zheng Xiaomei’s face would almost be touching his, their eyes meeting. This scared him so much he held his breath. Soon, however, he noticed Zheng Xiaomei was actually looking at her own reflection in the mirrored door. She cupped and lifted her bra, and with that motion, her proud chest nearly burst free.

After this close observation, Lü Yang made a preliminary judgment… This woman had a pretty face and a hot figure…

Then Zheng Xiaomei reached behind her back, unfastened her bra with a “snap,” and pulled it off. For a very brief moment, her perky chest was fully exposed right before Lü Yang’s eyes… But just as he quickly focused his gaze to get a good look, Zheng Xiaomei suddenly stood up. The movement was so fast that Lü Yang didn’t see anything clearly…

Lü Yang watched helplessly as Zheng Xiaomei held her bra in one hand, letting it hang down near the glass cabinet, while using the hairdryer in her other hand to dry it. But from his angle, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t see anything.

Frustrating.

After drying her bra, Zheng Xiaomei put it back on, then slipped on her blouse, and finally her trousers. Once fully dressed, she opened the door and left. Meanwhile, Lü Yang, still hiding inside the glass cabinet, felt extremely restless and overheated, unbearably uncomfortable.

Damn it, since she came in, why didn’t she take a shower?

The allure of a woman’s body lies in being concealed by various garments. The appeal of “uniform temptation” isn’t the uniform itself but what it hides. If everything underneath is revealed all at once, the mystery and sense of anticipation vanish. It was precisely situations like Zheng Xiaomei’s—where Lü Yang thought he might see something but ended up seeing nothing—that magnified the temptation to its peak.

After Zheng Xiaomei left, three fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girls came in. They were all classmates of Chen Xingyu and rather plain-looking. Once inside, they chattered noisily, quickly stripped naked, and began pushing and playing under the showerheads, making Lü Yang feel like he had accidentally wandered into the women’s bathhouse.

Two of the three girls had clean, bare bodies—one even flat-chested. Since they were ordinary and unremarkable, Lü Yang didn’t linger long on their unguarded youthful forms. He confirmed the task was four-fifths complete, then looked away.

His whole body still felt hot and restless, and he couldn’t stop regretting not having fully appreciated Zheng Xiaomei’s lovely body earlier.

Lü Yang realized he was even having criminal thoughts about Zheng Xiaomei—wanting to force himself on her on a dark and windy night. This startled him once again.

Of course, having criminal intentions was one thing; as long as he didn’t act on them, it proved he wasn’t a bad person but still a noble and pure good man.

After giving himself this comfort, Lü Yang felt a bit better.

After Chen Xingyu’s three classmates left, another girl of about seventeen or eighteen entered. She was Chen Xingyu’s cousin, rather dark and thin, and again not Lü Yang’s type. Still, she allowed him to complete the task of peeping at five Lutou Town girls showering, easily earning two Eerie Points.

After Chen Xingyu’s cousin finished showering and left, a stout, middle-aged woman with a waist thick as a barrel came in. Lü Yang tried hard to keep his eyes tightly shut to avoid letting her unattractive body tarnish his future imagination of beautiful women.

After the middle-aged woman washed and left, a little while later, someone outside called out something. A group of women laughed and left the outer bedroom, seemingly all heading downstairs.
