The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Xiao Mingkun went back and took down the lights from his living room and inner room, intending to install them at Yun Shu's house for her use; he would buy more if needed the next day. Yun Shu felt that although he had only been gone for a few minutes, it felt like an eternity, and she was terrified that he might not return. Even worse, her phone was out of battery, plunging her into darkness, and she immediately panicked.

Hearing footsteps approaching from afar, she didn't know who it was. A dark shadow loomed over Yun Shu's head, and she immediately screamed in fear. The scene of being locked in a dark room when she was a child immediately flashed into her mind.

"It's me, don't be afraid!" As soon as Xiao Mingkun finished speaking, Yun Shu threw herself into his arms, her whole body trembling.

Xiao Mingkun's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and gently comforted her in her ear, "It's okay, I'm here!" He then took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight function, and gave it to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu felt a warmth on her ear, as if the man's warm breath had just touched her ear. She had never been so close to a man before. She then realized she was still holding his waist, feeling incredibly embarrassed. She immediately pulled away from his embrace, her face flushed and her heart pounding, unable to look at him.

Xiao Mingkun didn't say anything more, but went into the inner room, intending to change the broken light bulb in the bedroom.

"Take a picture for me." Xiao Mingkun said calmly, as if nothing had happened. He took a chair from beside him, took off his slippers, and stepped onto the chair.

Seeing that the wooden chair looked fragile, and that it was dangerous for someone as tall as him to stand on it, Yun Shu immediately used her phone to shine a light on him with one hand and held onto the chair with the other.

Seeing her actions, Xiao Mingkun's eyes warmed, but he quickly changed the broken light bulb and replaced it with a good one he had brought from his own home, and the room immediately became bright.

After getting off the chair, Xiao Mingkun glanced around Yun Shu's room. It was quite simple, without much decoration. Perhaps because she had just moved in and hadn't tidied up yet, it was very clean and tidy, showing that the girl was well-mannered.

The two then went to the living room, where Xiao Mingkun planned to replace the broken light bulb.

"Let's leave it here for now, we can change it tomorrow, otherwise you won't have any lights at your place." Yun Shu had noticed Xiao Mingkun bringing light bulbs so quickly and realized he had taken good bulbs from his home. Giving them all to Yun Shu meant he wouldn't have enough bulbs at his place, which he felt bad about, because the kitchen and bathroom bulbs weren't the spiral LED energy-saving type, and even if he had more bulbs at his place, they wouldn't fit.

"It's okay! I'm not afraid of the dark!" Xiao Mingkun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile.

Upon hearing his words, Yun Shu immediately blushed again. Recalling the time she had hugged him before, she realized that this man was not only sparing with words but also prone to making fun of people. For no reason, her feelings of liking him immediately dropped several degrees.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was shy and embarrassed, Xiao Mingkun didn't say anything more. After changing the lights in the living room, Yun Shu's house was lit up again, but Xiao Mingkun's house next door remained dark.

"Thank you, I'll go buy a light bulb to return to you first thing tomorrow morning!" Yun Shu said gratefully. Although this person had just teased her, he had indeed helped her a lot, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

"No need, just two light bulbs!" Xiao Mingkun shook his head, and in doing so, he also got a good look at Yun Shu's appearance. Her delicate and pretty face, though not stunningly beautiful, was still unforgettable, especially her clear and beautiful eyes.

When Yun Shu saw him staring at her for a few seconds, her heart inexplicably raced, so she coughed loudly and reminded him apologetically.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Mingkun smiled slightly and said, "I'm all changed. It's getting late, I'm going back now." He then picked up his toolbox from the ground.

Yun Shu nodded shyly. Although this person was a bit strange, he had helped her a lot. She would have to buy two light bulbs to return them to him first thing tomorrow morning.

As I was seeing him out and about to close the door, the man stopped me by saying, "My name is Xiao Mingkun. People around here call me Brother Kun. By the way, what's your name?"

Yun Shu paused for a moment, but immediately replied, "Gu Yun Shu."

She then realized that the "Brother Kun" the landlord had been talking about when he rented the house was him. It was said that he was more useful than a security guard here, and even more effective than the police. She didn't know if it was true, but he was indeed very helpful at night, changing her broken light bulbs.

Yun Shu saw that this person had helped her, but his house was still a mess. He had even given her the light bulbs, and she didn't know what he would need to clean up the house later.

"Wait, do you need me to come over and tidy up your place? It's a bit of a mess..."

Seeing that she meant well, but considering it was quite late, probably around 11 pm, Xiao Mingkun replied, "No need, you've just moved in today and it must be tiring, you should go to sleep early." After saying that, he turned and went to his own room next door.

Yun Shu thought about it and realized she couldn't blame her; he was the one who didn't want her help. She comforted herself, thinking that he was a good person. She decided to repay the favor later, as she didn't like owing favors.

She went inside and lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep. She was exhausted after a long day, and she had to go to work early the next morning.

Using the kitchen light and the flashlight from his phone, Xiao Mingkun next door swept everything on the dining table into a large bag, put the empty bottles into a beer crate, and then roughly swept the floor. He had originally planned to eat out today, but Tie Tou and the others felt that eating at home would create a better atmosphere. It seemed he definitely couldn't have a gathering at home next time; otherwise, the house would become a mess, which he found very dirty. He was a bit of a clean freak, probably a trait he'd developed in the past.

Xiao Ming took all the dirty trash downstairs to throw it away, and when he came back, he was covered in sweat. All the showers he had taken earlier were for nothing. He took another shower and washed his hair, and then worked until after midnight.

He stepped onto the balcony and looked out at the quiet neighborhood. The lights were off in the next apartment; the neighbors were probably fast asleep. Actually, he had seen her once before, when she was looking at apartments, so he knew she had just moved in today.

The landlord said he was a doctor who worked nearby, but he didn't look very old, only in his early twenties. It was impressive that he became a doctor. However, it was unbelievable that a doctor would be so timid.

Just like him, no one expected that thing to happen. If that hadn't happened, his life would probably be different now. He wouldn't be so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to date...

I smoked a cigarette, waited until my hair was almost dry, and then went to bed in the inner room. I have a ton of things to do tomorrow, and I have to get up early. What a tiring life!
