The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Hey! Ah Kun... what's up! What time is it? Why are you calling?! Can't you let me live?" The person inside yawned and cursed, glancing out the window. How come it's already dawn?

"It's already seven o'clock, the sun is shining on your backside, time to get up."

"Pah! Do you know what time I went to sleep last night?! It was past three o'clock, and I've only slept for three hours now. I'm so sleepy!" the person inside cursed.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot you're a night owl, but Hua Zi, I need to talk to you about something." Xiao Mingkun said gloatingly.

Hua Zi, with his messy, bird's-nest-like hair, struggled to sit up, wrapped in a blanket. He was extremely annoyed.

"Tch! Speak up! What do you want from me? You better have something to say, or I'll ruin our years-long friendship! I'm so sleepy!" He yawned again after saying that.

"Is it really necessary? I just want you to help me find someone as soon as possible. I've already sent that person's information to your QQ." Mingkun succinctly explained his matter.

"Male or female? If it's a male, then don't bother!" By this time, most of the people had been woken up by the noise, and Hua Zi looked every bit the scoundrel.

"Stop talking nonsense! It has to be a woman, a young girl, no less! Damn it! Do you have to distinguish between male and female in business?!"

"Of course, beautiful women are so pleasing to the eye, men have no motivation to investigate, I don't even want to do it myself," Hua Zi clicked his tongue.

Mingkun rubbed his forehead, finding it hard to believe he'd become friends with this person. Annoyed, he said, "Alright, you can go back to sleep now. I have things to do. Just give me the answer in a couple of days! Make sure you check it out as soon as possible and send it to me immediately."

"Is it that urgent? Seriously, Ah Kun! You're so unfair! You woke me up to do something for me, and now you're just using me and don't want me anymore!"

"Damn it! How old are you? A grown man in his early thirties, and you're not my girlfriend. Do you think I'm going to waste my time having long phone conversations with you? Alright! I'm hanging up!" Mingkun hung up immediately. He had to go to work. Hua Zi's job didn't require him to go to work every day, which he couldn't compare to. Recently, his company had been receiving big orders, and he had to keep a close eye on them. If there was an accident, his company's reputation would be ruined, and all his hard work over the past few years would be wasted.

Hua Zi, on the other end of the line, rolled his eyes in exasperation upon hearing the dial tone. This guy was always so domineering; he felt a little sorry for his girlfriend! How could he possibly get along with this barbarian? Wait, when did that guy get a girlfriend? He didn't even tell him. He's such a bad brother.

But before he could complain again, he started to feel sleepy and lay down to sleep. No matter how urgent the matter was, nothing was more important than his sleep.

Mingkun tidied up and prepared to go to work. Hua Zi was his friend, a very close brother like Tie Tou and the others. Mingkun had saved him before, so Hua Zi never refused any request from Xiao Mingkun. Hua Zi was a computer expert and currently worked as a software developer at a large company. However, his private identity was even more impressive; he was a well-known black hat SEO expert online, especially skilled at investigating things and stealing secrets. However, Mingkun often underutilized his talents, and Hua Zi's carefree demeanor made it hard to believe he was a computer expert.

Mingkun asked him to look up that person's information, which was easy for him, so he asked Hua Zi to help him as soon as possible.

Hua Zi slept until almost noon before getting up and eating some food. He opened his computer and QQ, and saw a message from Ming Kun. Wow! It really was a woman, and a beautiful one at that, though not the sexy type. He immediately felt motivated to start working.

Yun Shu was on her way to work. She had gotten up very early today and made a point of avoiding Ming Kun. However, she was still a little sleepy from getting up so early and didn't have the energy to walk. She had missed the bus she needed to catch earlier, so she decided to walk a bit to clear her head before taking a taxi to the hospital.

It's late September now, and it's a bit chilly to go out in short sleeves this morning. In a while, we'll have to start wearing thermal underwear. Clothing stores on both sides of the street have already started selling autumn clothes, and advertisements are posted everywhere, but it's still early and many stores haven't opened yet.

Yun Shu walked down the street. It was early morning, and most of the people there were doing morning exercises or buying breakfast. The air was indeed very fresh, so getting up so early was worthwhile.

Thinking of Mingkun, she was still a little upset last night. She knew she couldn't blame him, after all, that woman was his mother, and she was even hospitalized. If she were to argue, it would be unreasonable. But as a woman, no woman would be happy if her man got engaged to another woman, especially since Mingkun's parents didn't approve of her and wouldn't accept that engaged woman as their daughter-in-law. Thinking about this made her heart ache...

While Yun Shu was walking in a daze, she didn't look at the ground and accidentally tripped over a building below. It was a sharp cement slab, and she fell to the ground, hitting her knee. The pain brought tears to Yun Shu's eyes, and she couldn't even get up.

"Hey beautiful, what's wrong with you?"

A very high-end sports car stopped next to Yun Shu, and a very handsome young man got out of the car.

Yun Shu endured the excruciating pain and tried to get up, but the man came over and helped her.

Yun Shu was about to awkwardly thank the person when she looked up and immediately froze! This wasn't...

Yun Shu stared at the man before her in shock and unease. This was—her fiancé, or rather, her fiancé from her past life, Sheng Huainan! How could he be here, and how could she have such a ridiculous coincidence? Wasn't he still abroad? She had seen him at her engagement party in her past life, and although she had only seen him twice more since, Yun Shu recognized him at a glance.

Sheng Huainan, the only son of the Sheng family in the compound, was sent abroad to live with his maternal grandparents a long time ago. Yun Shu had met him a few times when she was a child, but they hadn't seen each other since. So, Yun Shu knew Huainan, but Huainan didn't know Yun Shu. At this awkward moment, Yun Shu unexpectedly ran into him. Sure enough, she was having a really bad day, as if she were cursed. Her knee was very sore; she'd probably bumped into it and, if not bruised, had at least broken the skin and bled. Luckily, she was wearing black pants today, so it wasn't clear if she was injured underneath, but her knee was now a white patch because of the black pants.

Yun Shu steadied herself and replied, "Thank you, I'm fine!" Then she limped towards a car, as she couldn't walk anymore in her current state.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there!" Sheng Huainan looked at the girl in front of him. She looked a lot like the little girl sitting alone in the corner in his memory, and her temper was also somewhat similar. They were both so stubborn and loved to show off. So when he helped her up, he wanted to help her to the end and take her to where she was going.

He pulled Yun Shu over, insisted she get into his car, asked her for the address she wanted, and then drove her there.
