Ren Jin took the takeout to Gu Yueji's house and rang the doorbell without calling.
The doorbell rang for a short while before footsteps were heard.
As soon as the door opened, both the person inside and the person outside were stunned for a moment.
Ren Jin looked at Gu Yueji, who was covered in water from head to toe, and looked into the house. There were wet footprints in the hallway.
"A water pipe burst?"
Gu Yueji scratched her hair in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "I don't know why the faucet suddenly fell down."
Has the landlord arrived yet?
Gu Yueji shook her head. She had just called the landlord, who said that because of the rain, he would not come over until tomorrow.
Ren Jin suggested, "Shall I go in and take a look for you?"
"If it's not fixed, we won't be able to use water tonight," Gu Yueji glanced at Ren Jin, bowed slightly, and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Ren Jin delivered the takeout to her, took off his helmet, and went into the kitchen.
The kitchen was flooded, and next to the sink were a hammer, screwdriver, and electric drill.
He picked up the faucet and looked at it. The inlet was old and broken and couldn't be repaired. He turned to Gu Yueji and asked, "Do you have a new faucet at home?"
Gu Yueji shook her head, "No." Hearing him say that, she knew the old one was unusable. "I'll go buy a new one now."
Ren Jin glanced at her half-wet clothes and said, "I'll go buy some. You change your clothes and eat the takeout." He then left and closed the door behind him.
Gu Yueji was stunned for a moment, then looked at the yellow helmet on the shoe cabinet. Meeting again seemed to be expected.
Ren Jin returned quickly; Gu Yueji had only taken a few bites of her takeout when she heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Ren Jin carrying a bag, which looked like there was more than one faucet.
Gu Yueji then remembered to give him the money, "How much did you spend? I'll transfer it to you."
Ren Jin carried the bag straight into the kitchen, saying, "Let me pack it up first."
Gu Yueji leaned against the door and watched Ren Jin skillfully unscrew the old connector on the faucet, take out a brand new one from the bag, attach it, wrap the new faucet with round and round of white tape, and then put it on the connector and tighten it.
She and Ye Zurong knew absolutely nothing about plumbing and electrical work. Apart from changing light bulbs, he would always call the landlord or a plumber to come and fix anything else that broke in the house.
Now, seeing how skillfully Ren Jin operates the machine, it seems so simple.
It was raining outside, and his clothes weren't dry when he delivered the food. Now the kitchen was flooded, and he was covered in sweat. His wet delivery uniform clung to his body, highlighting his strong physique.
Gu Yueji couldn't help but recall that night, the image of those strong arms supporting her body as he lay naked on top of her.
Ren Jin turned on the faucet for a while and noticed that the person behind him was silent. He turned around and saw Gu Yueji staring at him with a red face.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at himself following her gaze. He saw that only a thin layer of cloth was clinging to his flesh, making him almost naked.
As if he understood something, he smiled at her meaningfully, "Is it pretty?"
Gu Yueji blinked and came back to her senses. Seeing the mockery in his eyes, she stiffened her neck and said, "It's nothing special. It's not like we haven't seen it before."
Ren Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, nodding in agreement, "That's right, I've not only seen it, but I've also used it."
Gu Yueji's face flushed even hotter from being blocked. She hurriedly turned her gaze away, her eyes landing on the water valve switch by the door. Thinking of changing the subject, she said, "Let me try the faucet to see if it works." Before she could finish speaking, she reached out her hand.
"Wait a minute!" Ren Jin called out to her.
However, it was too late. Water gushed out from the connection between the faucet and the pipe with a "hiss," and the faucet fell over with a "smack" the next second, instantly causing water to gush out in all directions, and the entire kitchen was flooded again.
Gu Yueji was momentarily stunned, standing there unsure of what to do.
Ren Jin blocked the water with one hand, took a step forward, and turned off the sluice gate, and the water slowly stopped.
He wiped the water off his face and looked at her speechlessly. "If you want to see me take off my clothes, just say so. You don't need to go through all this trouble."
He was completely soaked this time, his whole body was dripping wet.
"I thought you were done when I saw you stop," Gu Yueji said a little embarrassed. "Let me get you a towel to wipe yourself down."
"We'll talk after we're done." Ren Jin placed a wrench and pliers in her hands. "You hold these two and stand here without moving. I'll tell you which one I need, and you hand it to me."
This time, Gu Yueji stood obediently without touching anything, and dutifully handed him a wrench if he asked for one, and pliers if he asked for one.
He finished it in no time.
He turned on the tap, and water gushed out. He washed his hands, then bent down to wash his face. The basin was too small and low for him, and water splashed all over him.
He turned off the tap, stood up straight, crossed his hands, grabbed the two ends of his shirt, and pulled them up, taking off his still-dripping delivery uniform.
His body was also wet, the bulging muscles of his back glistening with water and throbbing slightly.
He threw his clothes on the edge of the basin, turned around, and looked straight at Gu Yueji.
Gu Yueji was taken aback. His gaze suddenly turned warm, direct and scorching.
She was trembling slightly, not from fear, but from her heart racing uncontrollably.
Ren Jin saw that Gu Yueji's gaze was darting away, but she still obediently stood still, her wet white T-shirt revealing her black underwear and full white breasts.
He took two steps over and naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.
She ordered mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish) for takeout tonight, specifically requesting extra spice. Now her lips are red and swollen, glistening with a layer of red oil.
Recalling the sensation of sucking, biting, and teasing those lips, Ren Jin licked his lips and then forcefully smeared them with his thumb.
Gu Yueji was startled and stopped him. When she saw the red oil on his thumb, she instinctively reached out to wipe her mouth with the back of her hand, but Ren Jin grabbed her hand.
