"Don't be afraid, it's just a short circuit and a power outage." Gu Weizhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and the faint fragrance of her hair lingered in his nostrils. The surroundings were so quiet that only their breathing and Gu Weizhou's pounding heartbeat could be heard.

The sudden darkness in Zhou was frightening.

Knowing that Gu Weizhou was by her side, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Yunxi's slightly stiff body softened, and her frightened heart calmed down: "It's probably caused by the hair dryer. Go and see if other houses have electricity, so that no one will come looking for trouble later."

Gu Weizhou grabbed her arm and pulled her out through her soft cotton pajamas, so she wouldn't be scared if he left her alone at home.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, they found that the families living in the tenement building had their lights on and were unaffected.

There were also lights on in other small houses.

Only their house was short-circuited.

Gu Weizhou said, "I can fix it myself. Just give me a flashlight, it'll be quick."

Ruan Yunxi nodded with a smile.

Gu Weizhou immediately found a flashlight, turned it on, and handed it to him. Then he went to check the power switch, turned it off, and opened the socket that had caught fire. He found that the copper wire was burnt out.

He plugged in a new one, then fiddled with it for a bit, doing things that Ruan Yunxi couldn't understand.

She only needed the light, silently watching him operate with lightning speed. When he turned on the switch, the lights that had been off suddenly turned on with a snap.

Ruan Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought she would have to sleep in the dark tonight!

Gu Weizhou said, "We don't have the materials at home, so we'll install the socket another day. Don't worry, you can use the hair dryer; I'll fix the electricity."

Ruan Yunxi gave a thumbs up: "I didn't know you could do this."

Gu Weizhou suppressed the corners of his mouth from turning up, his eyes filled with a smile: "I will do more in the future. As long as you need me, I will learn to solve your problems."

Ruan Yunxi felt a little hot after hearing his words and was too embarrassed to look him in the eye. She handed him the flashlight and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to rest. Goodnight!"

Watching Luo Huan's retreating figure, Gu Weizhou regretted his loose tongue, saying those words that had frightened her.

However, her shyness is very cute!

Gu Weizhou lay on the heated kang bed next door, thinking of Ruan Yunxi sleeping there. He couldn't help but press his hand against the wall, as if that would bring him closer to her.

These past few days I've felt like I'm dreaming, like it's not real. Has she really come to join me in the military?

It seems he won't feel at ease until he gets a marriage certificate.

Fortunately, I'm going for a medical check-up tomorrow. I'll also take this opportunity to urge my boss, as he wants to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Ruan Yunxi didn't sleep well that night; she probably wasn't used to sleeping in a different kind of heated room.

I tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep.

The next day, before Ruan Yunxi woke up, Gu Weizhou had already gotten up. It gets light early here, around 5 a.m. After washing up quietly, he went out for a run and training session. Even though he lived in the family compound, he still had to exercise every day.

Gu Weizhou had only run a few laps and started warming up when a woman blocked his way.
