The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Beep beep beep..." Suddenly, the sound of the phone alarm clock woke Yun Shu, who was still fast asleep. After being woken up, she squinted and reached for her phone on the bedside table before immediately turning it off.

A few seconds later, Yun Shu reluctantly sat up; she was fully awake. She stretched, and outside the curtains, the sky was already bright, with a faint glow. The days were getting longer; it was light around six in the morning. Yun Shu had set her alarm for six last night, so it was getting light earlier now. Although she was in a new place, Yun Shu had thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she slept soundly all night, the best she hadn't slept in a long time.

Her eyes caught sight of the light bulb in the room, and she remembered that she needed to buy one to return to her neighbor. So she quickly got ready, grabbed her wallet and keys, and headed out. She remembered there was a street not far from here with many shops, and she hoped there would be a store selling light bulbs and other household items.

The neighborhood was still quiet at this time. If Yun Shu bumped into someone who got up early, she would nod and greet them, since they lived in the same neighborhood.

Yun Shu guessed correctly; there was a street about 200 meters from where she lived. It was only a little past six o'clock, and there were already quite a few people there. People were having breakfast, selling things, and others were out buying groceries or exercising; it seemed like a very down-to-earth street.

Yun Shu quickly found a hardware store and asked the owner, who told her they sold light bulbs. The owner asked her what kind she wanted, and Yun Shu was dumbfounded, unsure what kind of bulb to buy. She remembered when she was a child in the countryside, every family was reluctant to buy high-wattage light bulbs, but things were different now; everyone wanted their lights to be as bright as possible.

Yun Shu really didn't know what kind of light bulbs to buy, so she told the shopkeeper she wanted two bulbs for the living room and bedroom, and let him decide. The shopkeeper was a straightforward person, so he wasn't surprised that Yun Shu said that. These days, how many girls know what kind of light bulbs to buy? They've all switched to fluorescent tubes or LED energy-saving bulbs.

So he showed Yun Shu two screw-type LED energy-saving light bulbs, which were used in most houses nearby. Yun Shu looked at them carefully and found that they were the same as the light bulbs Xiao Mingkun had brought last night, so she bought two.

Yun Shu carried a bag of light bulbs, and smelled the aroma of soy milk and steamed buns. She was also hungry. At this time, many people came out to eat breakfast, especially the elderly, who got up very early to take a walk and have breakfast or buy breakfast to take home.

Remembering that the person had helped her the night before, and seeing that she still had time, she turned into a small breakfast stall. Although the stall was small, it was quite clean.

I bought two breakfasts. I planned to give one to Xiao Mingkun as a thank you. The other one was for her; she didn't eat much in the morning, just a cup of soy milk and a steamed bun.

After returning, Yun Shu walked to the door of the house next door and boldly knocked a few times.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from inside; it was the person who came to open the door.

Sure enough, Xiao Mingkun was shirtless, but thankfully he was wearing casual cropped athletic shorts. He was leaning lazily against the door, yawning, clearly having just gotten up. Yun Shu thought to herself that this man was a total exhibitionist; having a good physique didn't mean he had to show it off so much.

Yun Shu looked up at his face, not daring to look below his neck, and said, "Thank you for helping me last night. Here's the light bulb I bought for you, and... the breakfast I bought."

This guy was just so tall. She could only look up for a few seconds before her neck started to ache, and she had to look down at her shoes. Why was he so tall? Yun Shu considered herself to be 1.65 meters tall, which wasn't short for a girl, but unfortunately, next to Xiao Mingkun, she only reached his shoulder.

"But you're too kind of me for offering to help!" Xiao Mingkun said, taking the gift from her hand, but inwardly he chuckled. He'd never received a light bulb as a gift in all his years. In his hometown, there was a saying that when lovers gave each other light bulbs, it meant one was waiting for the other. It was obvious the girl in front of him didn't know such a custom.

Yun Shu looked up at him, then looked down again and said, "Thank you anyway. By the way, I have to rush to work."

After saying that, Yun Shu turned around and went back to her room next door. She really needed to get to work in time. It should be almost seven o'clock now. She had to be at the hospital by 7:30 for her early shift. There was a bus stop not far from here. It would only take four stops and a little over ten minutes to get to the hospital. It was very close! That was also the reason why Yun Shu chose to live here in the first place.

Xiao Mingkun leaned against the door, watching her leave before the smile on his lips faded. He then went inside to wash up. It had taken him quite a while to clean the house last night, and now he had to go out again. He would continue working on the things he hadn't finished yesterday.

By evening, Yun Shu, who had been busy all day, received a call from Xu Ruo.

"Ashu, want to come out and have some fun?"

Listening to Xu Ruo's voice on the phone and the surrounding music, Yun Shu knew Xu Ruo must be at a bar. That guy had asked her to go out, but she hadn't agreed; she'd been too busy lately. She wouldn't get a break for a couple of days, and then she'd try to get together with her.

I dragged my tired body home, ordered takeout, and didn't plan to cook dinner.

Cooking for one person can be quite boring sometimes. Yun Shu basically only cooks a few meals a month. She only cooks a few more dishes when Xu Ruo comes over. Over the years, her cooking skills haven't improved; she still only knows how to cook a few simple dishes. Only during holidays, when she wants to comfort herself, will she cook extra.

After finishing her meal and washing up, Yun Shu thought it was around 8 o'clock and wanted to go to sleep. She had been up later than usual last night because of the power outage, and then woke up so early this morning. She had worked a 10-hour day and hadn't even had a lunch break. She was very sleepy and tired.

She fell asleep within seconds of lying down on the bed and slept for about three or four hours. While she was still groggy from her nap, Yun Shu vaguely heard the sounds of a woman's panting and moaning coming from the next room...

Yun Shu's head was spinning. This... could it be that she was doing something bad...? Speaking of which, the walls here are too thin. She can't make any noise at home in the future, or the neighbors will hear her.

Yun Shu silently recited the contents of the medical book in her mind, undisturbed. Those who study medicine are often numb to the physical intimacy between men and women; even a naked man in front of her would not move her. However, thinking of Xiao Mingkun wrapped in a towel earlier, she blushed inexplicably. And what was worse, the noise next door was getting louder and louder, the woman's painful groans becoming increasingly clear and reaching her ears…
