Lu Xiaoshu stood with her hands on her hips, waiting to watch Yunfan make a fool of himself.
"If you lose, you have to call me Great-Aunt three times, and from then on, whatever Great-Aunt tells you to do, you must do. Do you dare take the bet?" Lu Xiaoshu said arrogantly.
Xinyue whispered, "Stop messing around. It was just a joke, are you actually taking it seriously?"
Lu Xiaoshu said with surprise, "Yueyue, you aren't going soft on him, are you? As long as Great-Aunt wins, I'll make sure he doesn't touch you. It's a guaranteed win for us."
Had she gone soft?
For a fraction of a second, Lu Xiaoshu hit the nail on the head, and Xinyue's pretty face flushed.
She certainly didn't want her eccentric and mischievous best friend giving Yunfan a hard time, yet at the same time, she desperately wanted her best friend to win.
Lu Xiaoshu said with haughty pride, "You stinky scumbag, do you dare bet?"
Yunfan smiled. "That 'Daddy' you're about to call is a sure thing."
Lu Xiaoshu said dismissively, "Pfft, still bragging when you're at death's door. If you've got the guts, prove it right now. I'm waiting."
Seeing Lu Xiaoshu acting like this, Yunfan smiled happily. Since the little girl had walked right into the trap herself, she only had herself to blame.
Yunfan said to Lu Xiaoshu, "Compared to my wife, you should be much more terrified of living here."
Lu Xiaoshu said proudly, "Why? Am I, your Great-Aunt, not worthy of living in a villa? Let me tell you, if I wanted to, I could buy a villa like this whenever I please."
Yunfan smiled. "Because you have a habit of walking around naked."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoshu instantly remembered how Yunfan had taken advantage of her earlier, and her face turned red with anger.
"So what if your Great-Aunt doesn't wear clothes inside her own best friend's house? It's not like I was doing it for you to see," Lu Xiaoshu said indignantly.
Yunfan gave a wicked grin. "Me seeing you was an accident, but if you don't wear clothes here, plenty of other people can see you."
Lu Xiaoshu demanded angrily, "Nonsense! The curtains cover the windows completely. Are you telling me someone snuck into the house to spy on me?"
Right then, Lu Xiaoshu really wanted to tear Yunfan's mouth apart. This jerk always brought up the fact that she didn't wear clothes, which was so infuriating.
Yunfan pointed at the sofa nearby. "Do you like to watch TV and play on your phone on that while you're not wearing any clothes?"
Lu Xiaoshu said dismissively, "Duh, that sofa is so comfortable, of course I like lying on it. What? Are you saying there's a person hiding inside the sofa spying on me?"
"Pretty much. Look at what this is."
Yunfan walked over to the coffee table in front of the sofa, where a vase filled with artificial flowers sat.
Although fake, they still looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Yunfan reached his hand into the artificial flowers, pulled out a small black camera, and tossed it right in front of Lu Xiaoshu.
"Th-this is what?"
Lu Xiaoshu picked up the object, feeling a mix of shock and dread.
Yunfan said with a smile, "A pinhole camera, of course. Everything you've been doing on the sofa has been recorded."
As soon as he said that, Lu Xiaoshu's face instantly went pale. "Ah?! Seriously? Yueyue, why does your house have something like this?"
Xinyue was terrified as well. "I... I don't know either!"
At that moment, panic gripped both women. Lu Xiaoshu was terrified that her nude photos might fall into the hands of bad people; if they were leaked, she would want nothing more than to die.
Xinyue felt the exact same way. Anyone would be terrified to discover that someone had installed a pinhole camera in their own home.
Though Xinyue didn't share Lu Xiaoshu's bad habits, the thought of being monitored like that scared her out of her wits.
Lu Xiaoshu glared angrily at Yunfan. "Hey, you stinky scumbag, you didn't plant this thing here, did you?"
Yunfan smiled. "Refusing to admit defeat, so you're starting to frame people now."
Lu Xiaoshu eyed Yunfan suspiciously. "Aside from you, no one else has set foot in this villa! And you're telling me you didn't do it!"
Seeing how self-righteous Lu Xiaoshu looked, Yunfan picked up the pinhole camera and popped out a memory card from inside.
"You're in luck. This isn't a pinhole camera that connects to the internet. Even though it records twenty-four hours a day, it saves all the footage directly onto a memory card."
Holding the memory card, Yunfan said, "We can just check what's on this card. Since I only came to this villa today, as long as the date of the video is from before today, my name is cleared."
"Let's look then! I might as well tell you, your Great-Aunt is a lawyer. If you really planted this thing, I'll make sure you rot in prison!"
Lu Xiaoshu fished out a card reader, plugged it straight into her phone, and began checking the contents of the memory card.
Fortunately, the most recent video was from three days ago, meaning it hadn't been installed for very long.
In the video, Xinyue was wearing a pair of pajamas and opened the refrigerator behind the sofa.
She pulled out a bag filled entirely with cucumbers.
"This one is a bit too thin..."
"This one has too many prickly thorns..."
"This one is good. Not only is it thick, but it feels pretty good in the hand."
On the screen, Xinyue kept comparing numerous cucumbers, finally selecting the one that satisfied her the most, and walked away with a bright smile.
Lu Xiaoshu blurted out in shock, "Holy shit!"
At the same time, Lu Xiaoshu and Yunfan both turned and stared at Xinyue with stunned expressions.
Lu Xiaoshu gasped, "Yueyue, I never took you for that kind of person! Why don't you just give in to this scumbag tonight? Even though he might not match the size of that cucumber, he'll definitely quench your thirst."
Yunfan said with absolute confidence, "I'm very confident in my size, far bigger than that cucumber."
"You... what are you two idiots talking about? That cucumber was meant for my face mask!!!"
Xinyue wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. It was simply too humiliating; she felt like dying of embarrassment.
Lu Xiaoshu asked doubtfully, "I don't believe it! If it was for a face mask, why were you so picky about the thorns?!"
Xinyue explained helplessly, "I have to slice it up! If the cucumber thorns are too prickly, it's awkward to hold!"
Refusing to yield, Lu Xiaoshu kept questioning her, "Then why were you obsessed with thickness?"
"Are you trying to kill me?! A thicker cucumber means the slices you cut out will have a larger surface area!"
Xinyue was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She wanted to end this social-death-inducing interrogation immediately.
If she could, she would destroy this memory card beyond recognition and then murder both of these idiots to silence them.
It was just too mortifying.
Lu Xiaoshu teased, "Tsk tsk tsk, I never knew you were this kind of Yueyue."
Stomping her foot in fury, Xinyue snapped, "Lu Xiaoshu! If you say one more word, I'm going to unleash hell!"
"And what are you going to do about it? Beat me with a cucumber? Haha..."
In this world, what could possibly bring more joy than making fun of your best friend?
Clearly, nothing.
Seeing her best friend cornered and miserable, Lu Xiaoshu laughed brighter than a blooming flower.
Gritting her teeth, Xinyue issued a fierce threat, "Fine, fine, fine, Lu Xiaoshu, you asked for this!"
A bad feeling crept over Lu Xiaoshu. "What are you doing?"
"We're all going down together!"
Before Lu Xiaoshu could even react, Xinyue reached out and tapped to play the newest saved video.
