Chapter 488 Men and Their Mouths

It was obvious that Su Rui could see the situation very clearly — this Danielle Sharp must have thought there was no one else in the room, and had already taken off her sweat-soaked hospital gown before stepping into the bathroom.

So the question was: if she went in without any clothes on, what would she look like when she came out?

A mischievous grin had already crept into Su Rui’s eyes.

He couldn’t help but recall that breathtaking glimpse through the sniper scope all those years ago — that perfect figure, truly something that filled a person with longing.

Truth be told, Su Rui was being pretty shameless here. If you’re going to peep at a beautiful woman in the shower, you could just sneak a look and leave without a word, right? But no — he just had to shoot her clothes to pieces with a bullet. Wasn’t that just stirring up trouble for himself out of sheer boredom?

He shaped his fingers into a gun and fired off a whole bunch of imaginary shots — bang bang bang bang — at the damp hospital gown. Sometimes when you look back on the past, it really is quite a pleasant memory.

In fact, from the moment he’d walked in until now, Su Rui had been moving very quietly, and combined with the sound of the shower masking everything, even Danielle Sharp hadn’t noticed his arrival.

Just then, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Su Rui held his breath, watching the doorway with a half-smile on his face.

Danielle Sharp walked out wrapped in a bath towel, which left Su Rui feeling somewhat disappointed.

Looks like this woman wasn’t quite as uninhibited as he’d hoped — otherwise he’d have gotten an eyeful already!

Su Rui was a little annoyed. Seriously, why bother covering up after a nice shower? There was no one else in the room — didn’t she find that kind of thing a hassle?

The towel was short, barely enough to cover the essentials, and Danielle Sharp had kept herself in exceptional shape through years of training. Her entire body seemed to radiate a kind of elasticity — a remarkable, extraordinary elasticity that an ordinary woman simply could never possess.

The fullness of her chest was impressively proud — without the support of any undergarment, there wasn’t the slightest hint of sagging. The towel could only just barely cover half of it, leaving exposed the snow-white slopes and the unfathomably deep valley between them.

The hem of the towel only reached the bottom of her thighs, revealing two long, snow-white, athletic legs. The towel was really far too short — it seemed like one more gentle breeze and Su Rui would once again catch a glimpse of that mysterious territory he hadn’t quite been able to make out through the scope last time.

“Tsk tsk tsk, what a figure.”

Su Rui laughed and couldn’t help but let the words slip out.

Danielle Sharp had been bent over rummaging for her underwear when she suddenly heard a man’s voice in the room. The shock sent a jolt through her entire body, and she instantly shot back several meters!

At the same time, her hand instinctively moved to her waist, reaching for the purple soft sword that had been her companion for so many years.

However, just as she retreated those few steps using her top-tier movement technique, Su Rui’s eyes caught a glimpse — it seemed like the corner of the bath towel had flipped up for just a moment.

Just that one instant nearly sent him into a frenzy.

Her hand found nothing at her waist, and with only a bath towel on her body, she couldn’t make any large movements. Danielle Sharp forcibly suppressed the urge to kill Su Rui and said, “You pervert! What are you doing here?”

“This is my turf. I go wherever I want — what’s it to you?” Su Rui shot her an irritated glance and continued, “And don’t call me a pervert. If I were a real pervert, I’d have already made a move on you by now. I’m pretty sure if the two of us started fighting, that bath towel of yours wouldn’t last very long.”

Danielle Sharp understood that perfectly well. She was completely bare under the towel — the moment she made a move, Su Rui would definitely take advantage of the situation. She glared at him furiously and said, “I’ll kill you!”

“Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.” Su Rui said with shameless glee. “Verbal threats like that have absolutely zero effect on me. I’d love nothing more than for you to kill me right now — I’m just afraid you won’t come at me!”

Danielle Sharp was completely speechless. If she actually charged at him, she’d be walking right into his trap!

“You were just feeling around at your waist — were you looking for that little sword of yours?” Su Rui was actually keeping Danielle Sharp at bay with nothing more than his lecherous gaze, and it felt absolutely incredible.

“Little sword?” Hearing that term, Danielle Sharp nearly spat blood. “Where did you hide my purple soft sword?”

“I’ve been taking very good care of your little sword — I carry it on me at all times.”

At that, Su Rui stood up and lifted his T-shirt, revealing the belt around his waist.

No — to be precise, it wasn’t a belt at all. It was Danielle Sharp’s purple soft sword.

Seeing this, she nearly fell apart.

That was a weapon she never let leave her side — it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it her closest companion. She wore that purple soft sword at her waist every single moment of every day. Without it, she felt a hollow emptiness inside.

And yet, the sword that had once coiled around her own waist was now wrapped around Su Rui’s.

Su Rui noticed the expression of shock and fury on Danielle Sharp’s face, but still said with his trademark shamelessness, “If it weren’t for keeping your sword safe, I’d never use it as a belt substitute. It’s hard and digs into you, and if you’re not careful it’ll cut you. The worst part is how much of a pain it is every time I use the bathroom — if I squat down for a number two, this thing could easily slice right through my stomach.”

Squat down for a number two?

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Danielle Sharp — who had a mild case of mysophobia — was absolutely seething with rage. If she had a bundle of grenades within reach, she would have blown herself up along with Su Rui without a second thought.

That sword was practically an extension of her own body! And Su Rui had been brazenly carrying it in and out of men’s restrooms! And he had the nerve to complain about it not working well as a belt? Was it a belt?!

Imagining those filthy, disgusting scenes, imagining her sword possibly having absorbed that kind of smell, Danielle Sharp felt like she could fall apart at any moment.

Right now, she had an overwhelming desire to tear the man in front of her to pieces.

“You don’t need to worry though — I’m not going to keep your purple soft sword for myself. I’m just holding onto it for you temporarily.” Su Rui said with a smile.

“Give it back to me. I don’t need you holding onto it!” Danielle Sharp was nearly hysterical.

“That’s not happening. Do you think you can just take it back whenever you feel like it?” Su Rui said with a grin. “This is my war trophy, and I haven’t had my fill of admiring it yet.”

It was over. She had truly run into a complete scoundrel.

That was the only thought in Danielle Sharp’s mind at this moment, and she was almost ready to start wailing.

Who could have imagined that the Sun God Apollo — renowned for his glorious, upright, and dignified bearing — would turn out to be like this? At this moment, Danielle Sharp had made up her mind: if she ever made it back to the Western dark world, she would tell absolutely everyone about everything that had happened here.

Absurdly, Su Rui just smiled and said, “Beautiful Danielle Sharp, looking at you like this, a very famous poem suddenly popped into my head.”

She glared at him, her teeth grinding audibly.

And at that moment, Su Rui had already begun to recite with great feeling.

“My love, it is you who has filled my heart with sorrow; my love, it is you who has left my steps filled with hesitation; my love, it is you who has left my path ahead filled with confusion…”

Faced with this insufferably glib and shameless man, Danielle Sharp was truly and completely at a loss for words. She had given up fighting entirely. Listening to this poem — written by God knows which wretched poet — Sharp was practically clutching her chest and ready to be sick.

And yet, the reality of her situation was exactly what the poem described — she really was filled with sorrow, hesitation, and confusion. All because of this insufferable bastard.

She had to tell everyone: the Sun God Apollo’s greatest skill was absolutely not his marksmanship, nor his physical prowess, nor his tactical brilliance.

His most powerful weapon was that mouth of his — capable of talking the living to death and the dead back to life. Truly shameless beyond all measure.

Danielle Sharp was genuinely puzzled. She wondered just how utterly shameless a person had to be to operate with absolutely no limits and no sense of decency whatsoever.

“Stop standing there like that — aren’t you tired?” Su Rui patted the edge of the bed with an expression of exaggerated concern and said, “Sit down and rest for a bit. You really don’t know how to take care of yourself.”

Danielle Sharp wanted to die. She really did.

You think I want to be standing here? If it weren’t for you sitting there running your mouth nonstop from start to finish — that mouth of yours more relentless than a machine gun — how would I still be standing here?

“What exactly do you want? If you came here to chat, I’m not interested.” Danielle Sharp said coldly. Can’t beat you, but I can avoid you, can’t I?

“I want to invite you out for a late-night snack.” Su Rui said with a smile, his face a picture of “sincerity.”

“A late-night snack? I’m not going.” Danielle Sharp saw right through it — Su Rui was definitely up to no good again, like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken.

“You’ve been cooped up in this room for nearly a month now — don’t you want to see the outside world? Is eating hospital food every day really that interesting? Let me take you to try some Huaxia barbecue. I guarantee once you try it, you’ll never forget it!” Su Rui said with a grin. Suddenly being this enthusiastic was definitely a little off.

“Move aside. I want to sleep. I don’t want a late-night snack.” Danielle Sharp said, unmoved.

“Are you scared?” Su Rui started using reverse psychology.

“What would I have to be scared of?”

“Then why won’t you come out with me for a late-night snack?”

“Fine, let’s go. I’d actually love to see what tricks you’re planning to pull!”

The truth of the matter was, the moment barbecue was mentioned, Danielle Sharp suddenly felt her stomach give a little lurch.

“See? Was that so hard? What a waste of my breath.”

“But I don’t have anything to wear.” Danielle Sharp said. “I do have a couple of hospital gowns though.”

“I’ve already got something ready for you.” Su Rui “thoughtfully” pointed to a bag of clothes beside him and said, “Try them on — I specifically asked one of the nurses at the hospital to buy them for you. They’ve been washed too, so don’t worry about hygiene.”

“Well… alright then.”

Danielle Sharp suddenly realized that this outing with Su Rui would be a perfect opportunity for her to escape.
