Chapter 1663: One Problem After Another

Shen Zhilie felt severely maligned and helplessly yelled back, “Do I seem like that sort of a person to you?”

Inside the bathroom, Ye Qianqian heard Shen Zhilie’s voice coming from outside. Seeing the darkness all around her, exasperation started to take over.

Had the electricity been cut off?

She was halfway through washing her hair!

Her body was still covered in soapsuds. Was she supposed to complete her shower in the dark?

“Did the electrical supply get cut off?”

“I think so. I’ll call the housing management to ask.”

The tiny spark of hope Ye Qianqian harbored in her heart was instantly extinguished.

From a young age, she had suffered from night blindness.

It was hard for her to see anything in the dark.

Especially in the bathroom, where light from outside wasn’t able to stream in, Ye Qianqian couldn’t even see her five fingers in front of her face.

Fortunately, the electrical supply was unrelated to the gas powering the water heater.

Using solely her sense of touch, Ye Qianqian finished washing her hair in the dark. After quickly giving her body a quick rinse, she pulled the door to the bathroom open.

Ye Qianqian didn’t like wearing slippers while she showered.

As she stepped out, her barefoot came in contact with the ice-cold floor.

The floor was wet and slippery.

Ye Qianqian carefully felt her way around to look for her clothes. Even after groping in the dark for a while, she wasn’t able to locate them.

Suddenly, her foot stepped on something made of a sturdy and firm material.

It was her brassiere!

Ye Qianqian was about to go nuts.

It was literally one problem after another. How did her clothes end up on the floor for no reason?

Ye Qianqian took a step back and bent down to pick it up.

Her bare foot stepped on a foreign object Before she knew it, she fell backward and landed with her bum on the floor.

Bam!

Shen Zhilie had just finished his call to the management and was waiting for the repairman to come when he heard the loud commotion coming from inside the bathroom.

He immediately knew she had fallen.

Shen Zhilie was shocked and quickly called out, “Are you alright?”

No answer came from within.

Shen Zhilie felt that something was amiss. He took a few steps forward only to hear the sound of breathing coming from the bathroom.

He reached out and knocked on the door, asking, “Are you alright?”

Ye Qianqian’s voice was tinged with the sound of tears as she replied, “I can’t get up. My ankle hurts!”

When she had fallen, she had hit her head hard against the bathroom room. She was in pain.

However, what hurt even more was her ankle.

The angle of her fall had been awkward. Her twisted ankle had carried the entire weight of her body.

Ye Qianqian couldn’t move at all. Every move was accompanied by excruciating pain!

Shen Zhilie knew the situation was grim when he heard her reply. He asked, “Did you hurt your ankle? Where does it hurt?”

“My foot! My ankle!”

“It’s probably sprained. Are you able to stand up? Can I come in?” As Shen Zhilie spoke, he had already placed his hand on the door handle.

Ye Qianqian didn’t have any energy to cry when she heard him. She sniffled and yelled back, “Don’t! I’m not wearing anything!”

Shen Zhilie immediately released his hold on the door handle.

He scratched his head. At his wit’s end, he asked, “Are you able to stand up?”

“I…”

Ye Qianqian felt as if she were going crazy. She sniffled, feeling aggrieved at her current situation.

She had never experienced such an unlucky incident before.

“What do you have around you? Can you use it to support yourself up? Put some clothes on first. I’ll come in to carry you.” Shen Zhilie looked at his surroundings. It was pitch black, so he couldn’t see a thing.

When Ye Qianqian heard him, she looked around to her left and right. She slowly inched her way over to the toilet.

Reaching out to pick up her clothing, Ye Qianqian realized that all she could find was a soaked undergarment. The rest of her clothing was nowhere to be found.

No way! She couldn’t be this unlucky!

“Ye Qianqian?” Shen Zhilie called out when he didn’t hear her reply.
