The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Especially hearing the rustling wind outside the window, I was so frightened that I quickly and cautiously made my way to the bedside in the bedroom, using the little light shining in through the window, to grab my phone. I saw that my phone was almost out of battery, but it was only a little past 10 pm, and I still had a night to go. I couldn't spend the night in this dark and unfamiliar place.

After changing out of her pajamas and into her usual clothes, Yun Shu, using the remaining battery in her phone, cautiously walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

The hallway was quiet at this time. There was no sound from the house on the left, and even the lights were off. Yun Shu guessed that they were probably already asleep. The house on the right, which had been very noisy before, still had its lights on and its door open.

Yun Shu hesitated for a long time before going inside. She found the room a mess, reeking of alcohol. On the only table in the living room, leftover food, empty bottles, bowls, and chopsticks were piled haphazardly, and chairs were scattered haphazardly. No wonder there had been so much noise earlier; a large group of people had been drinking and eating here, and the whole room was still a mess. Strangely, no one was in the room.

"Is anyone there?" Yun Shu asked timidly in a low voice.

Yun Shu called out twice, but no one answered. Disappointed, she was about to go out to look for someone again when she suddenly heard a slight sound of the bathroom door being pushed open.

A strong, tall man, probably under thirty, walked out and was about to enter the living room. He was still damp with sweat, with a strong chest, clearly defined eight-pack abs, and V-lines. He only had a white towel wrapped around his waist to cover his private parts, and his long, lithe legs were exposed.

Yun Shu watched in surprise as he slowly walked in. Water droplets from his hair dripped down his hairline onto his rugged, unrestrained, and resolute face, then onto his chest, making him look incredibly sexy. However, his whole body exuded a cold aura, and his deep, unfathomable eyes were shooting sharp lines as he stared intently at Yun Shu.

Yun Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at him again. She thought to herself: This man has such a great physique, even better than the models I've seen before and the first nude male statue in history, 'David'... This... No! What am I thinking! She's a medical student; men and women are the same in her eyes, there's no gender difference. Men just have a little more flesh between their legs, right?

"What's going on?" Xiao Mingkun frowned slightly and questioned the woman in front of him who was in his house late at night. She was just a new neighbor who had rented the apartment next door a few days ago. Why was she in his house so late?

He had a colleague who drank too much and vomited on him, so he had to go to the bathroom to rinse off immediately. However, he realized he hadn't brought any clean clothes, so he had to walk out like this.

Yun Shu lowered her head awkwardly and said in a flustered manner, "Um... I... I'm from the next room. My power suddenly went out, and I don't know why. I was wondering if you could come over and help me see what the problem is..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man turned around expressionlessly, went into the inner room, and closed the door.

Yun Shu was taken aback. It didn't have to be so rude not to help. He completely ignored her after hearing her words and didn't even say a word of refusal. Yun Shu was very annoyed. What a strange man. She thought to herself that she would have to go out and find someone else to help her.

Yun Shu sighed and was about to leave when she heard the man's footsteps coming from inside the house again. She turned around and saw the man who had gone in earlier walking back to her.

In no time, he was dressed, wearing a black vest and matching casual athletic shorts. He didn't seem cold at all, even in the slightly over 20-degree evening weather. Yun Shu had been wearing long sleeves and pants when she came here before.

Yun Shu had no idea what he was going to do, and just stared at him blankly.

"Let's go!" Xiao Mingkun waved a toolbox that looked a bit rusty in his hand.

Yun Shu then noticed that he was carrying a box, which probably contained tools for repairing electrical circuits. He was probably going to help her check the power outage. So she quickly followed him, thinking that she had really misunderstood him earlier. This guy had tools in his hand; could he be an electrician?

Xiao Mingkun entered Yun Shu's room. It was pitch black, with only a sliver of light coming through the window making it difficult to see inside. The entire house was without power; the circuit breaker had probably tripped, or there was a problem with the wiring somewhere.

So he went to a corner of the hall where the voltage box was. Since the layout of each apartment was similar, he could easily spot the electricity meter.

Fortunately, it wasn't too high; Xiao Mingkun, who was over 1.8 meters tall, could reach it. He opened the cover of the voltage box and saw the meter inside, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"Do you have a flashlight at home?" Xiao Mingkun suddenly asked. His flashlight had been borrowed by someone and never returned, and he had been meaning to buy one but had forgotten.

Standing behind him, Yun Shu thought for a moment when he asked the question and replied, "Flashlight...no..." When she first moved in, Yun Shu mainly bought large items and didn't think about buying a flashlight. However, she remembered that her phone had a flashlight function, so she immediately turned it on to light the way for him.

The two were very close; Xiao Mingkun could smell the faint scent of shower gel emanating from the woman behind him, a scent she had just acquired after a shower…

Standing behind him, Yun Shu realized just how tall and strong the man in front of her was. At 1.65 meters tall, Yun Shu only reached his shoulder; she guessed he must be over 1.8 meters, almost 1.9 meters, and his build was nearly twice her weight of just over 90 kilograms. Standing behind such a man, in this situation, Yun Shu felt inexplicably safe.

Xiao Mingkun shook his head, clearing his mind of thoughts he shouldn't be having at this moment, and focused on checking the circuit. He found that the circuit breaker had indeed tripped, so he put it back in its original position. However, he noticed that the lights in the bedroom and living room were still not on. This wasn't a simple circuit breaker trip; he wondered if there was a problem with some wiring that had burned out, causing the trip.

Xiao Mingkun crouched down, turned on the test pen he had brought, and checked several main circuits. Sure enough, one wire was loose, which he reattached with a bandage. After checking the others, everything was normal, leaving only one possibility: all the light bulbs in the room must have burned out.

"The light bulb burned out. I don't have any spares here. It's so late, I'll buy some and replace it tomorrow!" Xiao Mingkun said. It was almost 11 o'clock at this time, and there weren't many people outside. Some shops had already closed, so he figured he wouldn't be able to buy any even if he wanted to.

"It's okay! I'll go out and buy some." Yun Shu insisted on going out to buy light bulbs. She was afraid to sleep all night without a light, especially in a new place. She didn't know how she would get through the night alone.

Hearing her say that, Xiao Mingkun figured that this woman must be timid and afraid of the dark, so he said, "Wait here for me for a while!"
