Chapter 350: Chapter 4 Sound and Hair_2

I must say, this dinner is truly sumptuous: foie gras, lamb chops, salads, cream soup, and more...

"Ms. Lin, if you have any comments about the meal, you can let me know when I come to collect the dishes later,"

"Alright, I got it,"

She looked at the food in front of her, and her appetite surged,

Picking up the knife and fork, and donning the napkin, she began to enjoy the meal,

"This tastes so good..." As soon as the lamb chop entered her mouth, Lin Sunzhu couldn’t stop praising it; it was even more delicious than anything she had ever had in any restaurant,

Moreover, they were willing to let her comment on every meal, or even order dishes herself,

"Poverty has limited my imagination, huh. Could I just mention it tonight and have Kobe beef airlifted from Japan or Australian lobsters by tomorrow noon?"

As she tasted the food, a question suddenly occurred to her,

With such great conditions, why did the previous history tutor living here leave? Or could it be that they were actually dismissed?

"Come to think of it..."

Was Xiaoju hired right after the previous history tutor left?

With all sorts of servants around here, was there really a need to hire a new one? And Xiaoju specifically stressed that she could be approached for anything,

Tasting the lamb chop in her mouth, Lin Sunzhu quickly realized: this was to prevent her from inquiring about anything from the servants who had served the previous tutor. Also, what Akong said earlier was a bit strange; it had been a week, and since the servants had already cleaned, what could be wrong?

"It seems that I’m not someone with a weak sense of curiosity..."

Of course, it was just a thought. With such generous treatment from the family, they must have high expectations for teaching, so it’s quite possible that the pressure lead to a voluntary resignation, nothing strange about that,

"Hmm, in any case, I shouldn’t ask too much about things unrelated to my job,"

After eating, Xiaoju came to take the plates away, and Lin Sunzhu decided to take a bath before continuing to prepare her lessons,

When she opened her suitcase to get a change of clothes, Lin Sunzhu suddenly remembered that the servant had mentioned she didn’t need to bring a suitcase at all, as everything had been prepared for her,

Clothes are one thing, but they haven’t measured my dimensions, so how could they possibly prepare clothing in advance? Of course, this family is wealthy, so they must have a lot of clothes, but they couldn’t have prepared underwear for her as well,

However, she glanced toward the wardrobe, walked over, and opened its doors,

Inside, a variety of clothing was on display,

"My goodness, all of these are..."

Hermès, Gucci, Givenchy...

And they all seem to be the latest season’s designs,

She took out a piece and roughly compared it, and it actually fit her figure quite well,

"No, no, let’s forget it, wearing such expensive clothes feels uncomfortable..."

After all, she was here to tutor, not to model on the catwalk,

She put the clothes back in place and slowly closed the wardrobe doors,

"Could it be that the previous tutor had a figure similar to mine?"

Lin Sunzhu was about 1.74 meters tall, which is considered quite tall among women,

She grabbed her change of clothes and walked into the bathroom, beginning to fill it with hot water,

"For so many years I’ve only taken showers; with such a big bathtub, I can finally have a proper soak,"

At that moment, Lin Sunzhu couldn’t help but wonder if she would be able to adjust to going back to her rental place after her tutoring work here was done,

Lin Sunzhu was now beginning to realize that having the opportunity to tutor here might have been a coincidence,

The previous history tutor probably left too abruptly, and it’s likely that the geography tutor also left at the same time, and since they had to assess the children every week, they needed to find a tutor for the kids quickly, which led to her being hired. Otherwise, given this family’s means, they could have hired a much more qualified tutor and not her. Her resume was quite impressive for most people seeking tutors, but now it seemed a bit insufficient for this family,

"I wonder if I can teach the children here well. Spanish... I don’t even know how to speak Spanish..."

After running the hot water, Lin Sunzhu stepped into the bathtub and slowly lay down,

"It’s so spacious... Feels like I could swim in here..."

She spread her arms, leaned back slightly against the tub, and then let her feet float up a bit with the buoyancy of the water. Soaking in the hot water, her fatigue began to melt away,

Just as she closed her eyes to enjoy the moment...

She heard the sound again!

This time, she heard it more clearly!

It sounded like a human’s faint breathing,

The sound was so faint that one might not catch it unless in a quiet environment.

"What’s going on? What sound is this, exactly?"

At first, she thought she might have misheard, but now, it seemed that she hadn’t?

So where was the sound coming from?

For a moment, she lost all desire to soak in the bath. The room should have had excellent soundproofing, right? So how could it be...

"It couldn’t be a human voice, could it?"

There were no windows in the room after all.

About five minutes later, she faintly heard that panting sound again.

This time, the sound seemed even closer than before!

When she heard it, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be right beside the bathtub?

She opened her eyes wide and looked toward the side of the tub.

But there was no one there.

"How could there be someone..." Lin Sunzhu swallowed hard and said, "This certainly isn’t the voice of a person, so what is it?"

However, this time, she heard it more distinctly.

It sounded, rather than panting, more like...

Moaning?

As this thought flashed through her mind, Lin Sunzhu suddenly felt the warm bathing water turn a bit cold.

"I’m overthinking it... It must be some other sound..."

She no longer felt like soaking in the tub and quickly finished her bath, sitting up from the tub.

After drying off and getting dressed, she combed her hair in front of the mirror, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a strand of hair in front of the mirror.

That hair couldn’t possibly be Lin Sunzhu’s. Because... the hair was blonde.

"This hair..." She picked up the blond strand and muttered, "Could it be from the history teacher before me?"

Holding the hair, she couldn’t shake an eerie feeling.

After leaving the bathroom, she quickly sat on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and picked up her laptop again to prepare for tomorrow’s class.

At that moment, she remembered what Ah Kong had said.

"If anything is amiss"...

Did this situation count as "amiss"?

Should she tell them that she heard someone moaning in the bathroom?

How could that not sound like she was nitpicking?

"Sigh, it must be some other sound, it just sounded very much like a human voice... Yes, that’s got to be it."

After all, the accommodation here was so nice, and everything was provided for free; what more could she possibly complain about?

Then, she instinctively glanced toward the bathroom...

"Huh? Didn’t I just..."

The door of the bathroom was wide open.

But she was sure that she...

Had closed the door!

Without understanding why, she began to shiver involuntarily.

She immediately got up from the bed and closed the bathroom door.

Having returned to the bed, she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

That’s when she realized she was still clutching the blonde hair.

The hair was right in front of the mirror and very conspicuous; why hadn’t it been cleaned away before?

Looking at the hair before her, a dark premonition began to creep over Lin Sunzhu...
