Chapter 516 Sand Sea 10
She was alone in the bathroom, and she had placed a rose petal bath bomb in the tub.
The bath sponge dissolved in water, instantly turning the water pink and producing white foam.
Zhang Chuzhen sat in the bathtub, the water reaching almost to her collarbone.
Soaking in the hot water felt so good that she simply relaxed, closed her eyes, and let her mind wander.
In the bathroom, steam rose quietly, and the only sounds were the occasional splashing of water as she moved around.
A faint sound suddenly came from the window. Zhang Chuzhen opened her eyes and looked over, but on the surface, nothing seemed amiss.
She picked up some clothes from the side, went into the space to put them on, and came out again after only one second had passed outside.
She walked to the window and jumped up. Once on the windowsill, she grabbed the log above her head, turned around, climbed up, and flipped onto the roof, chasing after the dark figure in front of her.
She used a bit of her spiritual power, and quickly caught up with the person in front of her, then easily pinned them to the rooftop.
Hei Xiazi was pinned to the roof by her, his entire head pressed against the thatch, but he showed no concern on his face and even smiled as he inquired about other things.
"Was that some kind of light-footed skill? You were in front of me in the blink of an eye."
Zhang Chuzhen ignored his smirking: "If you peep on someone taking a bath, how about I castrate you?"
Her eyes were dangerous. Black Bear imagined the consequences she mentioned and felt his body tense up.
"No way, then the world would be missing a handsome, humorous, and normal man like me."
He emphasized the word "normal" slightly when he said it.
She looked down at the man being held down; he was indeed handsome, and this black bear had a mature sexual tension about him.
"So, someone as handsome and humorous as you, would a normal person watch someone taking a bath?"
Although Zhang Chuzhen's tone was calm, Hei Xiazi could hear the sarcasm in it.
Before he could speak, he suddenly felt a blow to his face.
The thought of what Hei Xiazi had done made Zhang Chuzhen's hands itch. Although he knew Hei Xiazi wanted to see if he had any tattoos, he still couldn't resist beating him up.
When Hei Xiazi was hit on the face, he was a little stunned. When he was hit a second time, he struggled and said, "Ouch~ You shouldn't hit someone in the face! You've ruined my handsome face. How am I supposed to face people now?"
But he was no match for Zhang Chuzhen and took a few more hits.
Finally, he resorted to thuggish behavior, finding the only opening to grab the person so they couldn't be hit in the face.
"Young lady, you're bullying an old man like me, and I can't beat you, so I have to resort to some special methods."
Having suffered losses at the hands of this young girl twice in a row, Hei Xiazi had no choice but to resort to shameless tactics.
Zhang Chuzhen immediately tried to pull him away, but he held her tightly: "If you don't want to break your arms and legs, you'd better let go."
Hei Xiazi: "I don't think you would be so heartless."
Her response was to kick him directly, with enough force to break his bones.
Black Bear had no choice but to release the man and dodge, and the two immediately started fighting again.
"Little sister, you have no sportsmanship! You attacked without even saying a word?"
"Who are you calling little sister? I have no respect for a peeping tom like you. What kind of martial ethics do I have for you?"
Seeing that he was about to lose, Black Bear had no choice but to explain: "I won't call you, you say I won't call you, it's really a misunderstanding, I didn't know you were taking a shower."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know you're in cahoots with Wu Xie. You're always testing me. You must have had some purpose in peeking just now."
By now, almost everyone in the camp knew Wu Xie's name, so it wasn't surprising that she called him out.
Zhang Chuzhen had lost patience with their probing and simply brought it up directly.
When Hei Xiazi saw her stop, he also stopped to catch his breath. Hearing her words, he immediately realized that she was very perceptive, able to guess these things from their actions.
"What is your purpose in testing me time and time again and always observing me?"
Hei Xiazi, of course, couldn't admit it. He laughed it off and said, "Little girl, you're overthinking it. What test or not test?"
"Whatever your motives are, it's none of my business. If you don't want to get beaten up again, don't mess with me."
After Zhang Chuzhen finished speaking, he walked to the edge of the bathroom roof and rolled down.
Hei Xiazi touched the corner of his mouth: "Ouch~ that hurts a bit, this guy hit me pretty hard."
The image of her hitting someone with a blank expression flashed through his mind.
He closed his eyes in the bathroom, lying quietly in the bathtub, and the soft embrace and the fragrance lingered on his body. A smile played on his lips.
"They may seem cold and indifferent, but they show no mercy when they start hitting people."
If Zhang Chuzhen knew him, she would definitely say that she had already restrained herself in her attack, otherwise the person who was hit would have experienced more than just simple pain.

Wu Xie was sitting at the table in his room when he saw a dark figure climb in through the window.
"Is something the matter? You seem to be showing up quite often lately."
Hei Xiazi sat down opposite him, pointed to his face, and said, "This counts as a work injury, right? You should reimburse me."
"You're injured? What happened?" Wu Xie stood up and walked over.
"Hey, that girl is ruthless."
Wu Xie immediately thought of Zhang Chuzhen: "Why did she hit you? Were you checking if she had any tattoos? Did you offend her?"
"Stop talking, I got chased and beaten up." Black Bear was frustrated but also curious; he couldn't even beat a little girl.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie chuckled unkindly and had no choice but to change the subject and ask the important question: "Does she have it on her?"
Hei Xiazi shook his head, recalling her words: "No, maybe we're overthinking it, it might just be an accident."
"Whether it's an accident or not, as long as it doesn't affect my plans," Wu Xie said, looking out the window.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her. As long as there are no problems, it's fine."
"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?" Wu Xie smiled somewhat sarcastically, rarely seeing him suffer such a loss, and he couldn't quite control his expression.
Black Bear smiled but didn't answer him. He stood up, walked to the window, and prepared to leave: "Let's go!"

Su Nan's subordinate Ye Xiao suddenly died, and everyone was "invited" downstairs to talk about it.
Zhang Chuzhen found a seat and listened to their conversation, letting it go in one ear and out the other.
Wu Xie points out the people with motives: himself, Su Nan, Director Wang, the innkeeper Su Rige, and Zhang Chuzhen.
Zhang Chuzhen was listed as a suspect because she had a grudge against Su Nan's people.
"I've never had any contact with Ye Xiao. The people I had grudges against before were those two, but aren't they all doing fine now?"
As Zhang Chuzhen spoke, she looked at the lame old Mai and that guy whose name she couldn't remember.
Wu Xie said with a smile, "There must be a motive."
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Zhang Chuzhen simply stopped talking and listened to their argument.
Everyone was a suspect, yet no one was irrefutable, leaving everyone stumped.
The matter was temporarily resolved with Su Rige's suicide and Zeng Ye from the filming crew fainting.
