"Hey, handsome. Looking at your outfit, are you off to pick up trash?"
After nodding, Fang Chenyi planned to leave.
He had no intention of getting involved with this woman. For one, he already had the long-legged beauty, and for another, her garish makeup was a complete turn-off.
Fang Chenyi really didn't get it. She looked to be about his age—a time that was supposed to be all about natural, youthful charm. 'So why the hell does she have to wear so much makeup?'
But just as he started to move, the woman grabbed his arm. The next moment, before he could shake her off, her cloyingly sweet voice rang out:
"Handsome, I know a great place for picking up trash. Oh, there's lots and lots of trash there. Want me to take you?"
As she spoke, she kept rubbing herself against Fang Chenyi's arm.
Feeling the sensation on his arm, Fang Chenyi couldn't help but frown. He pulled his arm free, wanting to leave, but he was also incredibly tempted by what the woman had described.
'If it's really like she says, and that place has a ton of trash… I might just become a millionaire in one go!'
Seeing the handsome guy frowning in thought, the woman knew she had a chance. She grabbed Fang Chenyi's arm again and said with a coy shyness, "Don't hesitate, handsome. If you wait any longer, someone else will pick up all that trash."
"Fine, lead the way."
After thinking it over, Fang Chenyi decided to go check it out. The allure of "lots of trash" was simply too great to resist.
He tried shaking her off twice, but couldn't stop the woman from clinging to his arm. Finally, Fang Chenyi gave up and reluctantly let her pull him along by his sleeve.
He followed the woman deeper into the residential complex, and they soon arrived in front of an apartment building. Seeing her try to pull him inside, Fang Chenyi was once again speechless. 'Is this woman scamming me? Could it be… she's after my body?'
"So where's this trash you mentioned?"
"Oh, it's at my place, of course! I have so, so much trash at home. I'm worried you won't even be able to pick it all up."
Looking at the woman's earnest expression, Fang Chenyi's mind immediately flashed to a news story he'd seen before, about a female tenant who had turned her rental apartment into a complete pigsty.
He scanned the heavily made-up woman from head to toe and nodded to himself. 'Yeah, the women they talk about online are probably just like this.'
At that very moment, an image was already forming in his mind. A scene with trash all over the floor… no, wait, it should be trash all over the *house*.
Of course, for the current Fang Chenyi, a place like that might actually be pretty great.
With that thought, he nodded, signaling for the woman to lead the way.
Seeing this, the woman was even more delighted. 'Hehe, looks like I'm finally about to get a taste of this handsome guy!'
With that in mind, the woman pulled Fang Chenyi's sleeve and, CLOMP CLOMP CLOMP, up they went to the third floor.
She took out her key, opened the old security door with a CREAK, then pushed it open and pulled Fang Chenyi inside.
But the moment he stepped into the room, Fang Chenyi was dumbfounded. He looked at the surroundings. 'Holy crap, this is a little different from the "trash everywhere" scene I was picturing.'
The apartment was about the same size as his own rental, maybe around eighty square meters. Although the furniture and appliances were unfortunately old, it was undeniably neat and tidy.
Just as Fang Chenyi was feeling confused, the woman beside him suddenly threw herself into his arms. "Handsome, didn't you want to pick up trash? Come on, start picking…"
'I'll be damned! I actually fell for it! This bitch is really just after my body! Fang Chenyi, oh Fang Chenyi, how are you so clueless? Don't you know how handsome you are?'
He slapped his forehead, utterly speechless. Shoving the woman out of his arms, he asked with a sliver of hope, "Where's the trash you were talking about?"
The woman giggled at his question, then pointed to all the furnishings in the room, not forgetting to gesture toward her own proud assets. "Hee hee hee, isn't this all of it?"
"You don't want any of this stuff?"
But upon hearing the woman's words, a joyful glint appeared in Fang Chenyi's eyes. At the same time, a mischievous thought popped into his head.
"Uh-huh, I don't want any of it. It's all for you to pick up. Hurry up and start. I can't wait any longer."
As she spoke, the woman prepared to pounce again. Seeing this, Fang Chenyi quickly took a step back, dodging her attack. He frowned and confirmed one more time, "You really don't want any of this?"
"Uh-huh, I really don't want it. It's all yours. But, handsome, I need to ask you for a small favor. What do you think? It's really simple."
Fang Chenyi nodded and agreed without hesitation. 'Are you kidding me?' If he got to "pick up" all this stuff, how much would the reward be? He might even score some special rewards. Because of this, Fang Chenyi didn't hesitate at all to accept the woman's proposal.
"Just tell me what you need. As long as it doesn't involve me becoming your boyfriend or something, it's all good."
Hearing Fang Chenyi's words, a flash of disappointment was obvious in the woman's eyes, but she quickly came to terms with it. 'A guy this handsome and rich… how could I ever hope for him to be my boyfriend?' With that thought, she lowered her head shyly and said softly, "It's actually really simple… Um, I was hoping you could help me… unclog my drain. It's been a little backed up recently…"
Fang Chenyi froze when he heard that. When the meaning finally dawned on him, he was once again rendered speechless.
'Fuck! She still wants me to pick up a "worn-out shoe"! I may be a trash-picker, but I absolutely draw the line at picking up "worn-out shoes"!'
"Sure, no problem. I actually saw an ad for a professional plumber on the wall on my way up. I'll call them for you later. As for me, I'm not really skilled at that kind of work."
At first, the woman was thrilled to hear the beginning of Fang Chenyi's sentence, but when she heard the rest, she stomped her foot in frustration and said, "But I can teach you how to unclog the drain!"
...To be continued...
