24: Repair the air conditioner and change the light bulb

Now that the heat of the moment had passed, having brought a man to her apartment for the first time, Chen Xinyi started to feel nervous.

"Ah... o-okay."

In this regard, Ye Su was also just all talk.

He had originally only intended to sell the [british penny black], and he hadn't expected things to develop like this.

Smelling the fragrance in the room, Ye Su felt his throat go dry, and he nodded at Chen Xinyi while stammering.

"Pfft—" Seeing Ye Su finally show a dazed look appropriate for his age, Chen Xinyi burst out laughing, and the nervousness in her heart was dispelled.

Everyone was an adult; with the situation having developed to this point, they both knew exactly what would happen next.

Chen Xinyi didn't shy away from opening her wardrobe to pick out clothes to change into right in front of Ye Su, then went into the bathroom to shower on her own.

The bathroom in this apartment was separated by frosted glass. Ye Su, who was already distracted, felt even more restless as he watched the steam rising in the bathroom and listened to the sound of the shower.

Just then, the sound of the water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and Chen Xinyi, her hair still dripping with water, poked her head out from behind the bathroom door:

"I don't have a spare towel or toothbrush here. You can go to the convenience store downstairs to buy some now. Also, buy whatever you think is [necessary]. The door code is 192716. You can let yourself back in later."

"Roger that!"

Ye Su felt that his IQ was comparable to Einstein's; he instantly understood what Chen Xinyi meant by [things that need to be bought].

After Chen Xinyi closed the bathroom door again, Ye Su immediately rushed downstairs at top speed and bought everything.

When Chen Xinyi finished showering and came out wrapped in a bathrobe, she was dumbfounded to find that in addition to Ye Su's daily necessities, there were three whole boxes of contraceptives in the bag on the table.

"Are you an animal!"

Ye Su also felt that he might have overestimated himself a bit.

Wanting to argue but not knowing where to start, Ye Su could only pick up the newly bought towel and flee into the bathroom, leaving Chen Xinyi outside, feeling both amused and nervous.

"I knew my charm was fine; it seems this guy was just pretending to be innocent before."

With the atmosphere reaching this point, what happened next came naturally.

It was nothing more than physical labor like [fixing the water pipes], [changing the lightbulb], and [fixing the AC].

...

When he woke up the next day, even with Ye Su's Physique, he felt a soreness in his lower back.

Looking at Chen Xinyi, who was just as exhausted and still fast asleep beside him, Ye Su felt a momentary daze.

It had only been 23 days since he accidentally bound the system on the 21st of last month, but his life had already begun to undergo tremendous changes.

Excluding the income from Ye Xin's online shop, he had already earned nearly thirty thousand yuan through intelligence, plus an electric scooter, and even Chen Xinyi, whose external conditions were in no way inferior to Qin Manyun's, and who was even better in certain areas.

Compared to Qin Manyun, who still carried the greenness of school, Ye Su preferred Chen Xinyi, who was four years older and by his side.

At the very least, when you give her a slap, she knows what you want to do, instead of asking [what are you doing].

Ye Su wasn't afraid that when he got up early in the morning, Chen Xinyi would pull some trick on him like those news stories.

They say that when you're out and about, boys must remember to protect themselves, and never put their "big brother" in danger for the sake of a moment's pleasure for their "little brother."

Therefore, while showering last night, Ye Su immorally turned on his phone's recording function in advance.

Even though Chen Xinyi had always behaved very normally, giving Ye Su ninety percent trust in her, Ye Su wouldn't gamble on that ten percent risk.

Plus, the 1,500 yuan commission Ye Su transferred to Chen Xinyi yesterday had no chat history or remarks, so what that money was specifically for was entirely up to Ye Su to claim.

With double insurance in place, he could finally be worry-free.

As an ordinary person without a background like Ye Su, his ability to withstand risk was inherently weak. A single wrong step could bring a huge crisis to his life, so he could only be cautious everywhere, striving to help himself avoid all potential dangers.

Lifting the quilt lightly, he took the opportunity to admire the beautiful scenery, and Ye Su almost couldn't control himself from kissing Chen Xinyi's slightly parted lips.

But recalling what she had eaten last night, Ye Su immediately dismissed the thought and helped cover Chen Xinyi with the quilt again.

The intelligence that refreshed at dawn was to remind Ye Su that the supermarket had discounted eggs today, so he ignored it directly.

Considering how hard Chen Xinyi had worked last night, after washing up, Ye Su originally wanted to play the role of a thoughtful boyfriend and cook her breakfast.

But when he opened the fridge, he found that there wasn't even an egg inside.

"It seems that workers in Guangzhou don't cook at home usually."

Ye Su actually misunderstood Chen Xinyi on this point.

She didn't have time during work, but on weekends, Chen Xinyi would still cook at home.

However, yesterday, for the sake of Ye Su's business, Chen Xinyi hadn't gone out to buy groceries.

"I wanted to show off, but didn't even get the chance."

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice, so Ye Su could only choose to give up and went to the bakery downstairs to buy some bread and milk.

"Damn it, the bread sold in the bakery outside is ridiculously expensive; this is at least twice as expensive as at school!"

From the moment he left the bakery until he returned to the apartment, Ye Su complained about the prices outside almost non-stop.

According to his appetite, if he wanted to get full on bread and milk in the morning, it would cost at least twenty yuan per meal!

Relying on intelligence, his savings had reached twenty-eight thousand, but Ye Su still couldn't accept the prices at the bakery.

Beep, please press the handle to open the door—

Hearing the prompt sound of the digital lock opening, Chen Xinyi, who was still sleeping, was instantly awakened. When she saw that it was Ye Su who had entered, she let out a sigh of relief.

"I went downstairs and bought some bread."

"Oh."

Being away from home, this was the first time someone had bought her breakfast when she woke up, and a wave of warmth couldn't help but surge in Chen Xinyi's heart.

But as soon as she moved, a look of pain flashed across Chen Xinyi's face, and then she glared fiercely at the culprit on the dining table who was taking out the food heartlessly.

Are college students all this powerful now?

That's not right either; that ex-boyfriend I dated in college... uh, how should I put it, he was just very average...

Suddenly glared at, Ye Su was also confused: "What's wrong? You don't like eating bread?"

Ye Su's reaction made Chen Xinyi even more frantic: "Don't you know how to be a little more gentle?"

Huh?

Oh—

Ye Su finally realized what Chen Xinyi was referring to.

"This is my fault too?" Ye Su said shamelessly: "Clearly you were the one who insisted I use force, so what could I do? I couldn't go against a woman's wishes, could I?"

"Go to hell!"

Recalling her own craziness last night, Chen Xinyi was embarrassed and angry. She got up, grabbed the "battle gear" left on the nightstand last night, and threw it straight at Ye Su.

It didn't matter that she threw it, but the quilt instantly slipped off Chen Xinyi's body.

At this moment, Ye Su believed in the light: this was a D+, pfft, it was Tiga!

"Ah!" Reacting quickly, Chen Xinyi immediately hugged the quilt back into her arms.

Ye Su, who had accurately caught the "battle gear," curled his lips and said: "What's the big deal? Didn't I see it all last night?"

"Turn around, let me change my clothes first! And give me back the clothes in your hand!"

Ye Su didn't let up with his mouth, but he still obediently followed instructions.
