Mu Shaohua's gaze remained fixed on Lu Qingzhou's profile.
The scene that had just happened in the basement kept replaying in my mind.
My face felt a little hot.
A few beads of sweat appeared on Lu Qingzhou's forehead.
Mu Shaohua pulled out a few tissues and handed them to him, "Wipe your sweat."
Lu Qingzhou was about to reach out to take it when she noticed her hands were a little dirty.
Mu Shaohua glanced at it, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Let me wipe it for you."
Looking at the beautiful face so close to his, Lu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou staring at her, Mu Shaohua's cheeks flushed slightly.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle and a little awkward!
"Xiao Lu, I didn't expect you to be so good at so many things. I called you just to see what would happen. But I never imagined you could actually fix a faucet, hahaha..."
Mu Shaohua tried to find a topic to defuse the situation!
Lu Qingzhou smiled slightly, "Sister Shaohua, do you have so little confidence in me? Hehe. I know a lot more, like unclogging sewers, I'm a professional at that, I even have a certificate!"
Seeing his smug look, Mu Shaohua couldn't help but laugh.
Their faces were inches apart.
Lu Qingzhou could clearly see the tiny pores on the other person's face. Her smile was so beautiful, giving people a warm and relaxing feeling.
Mu Shaohua withdrew his hand.
Lu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Shaohua!"
Mu Shaohua smiled slightly, "You're the one helping me, I'm the one who should be saying thank you."
"Fixing a faucet is just a trivial matter for me."
Lu Qingzhou slowly tightened the faucet to the last bit, turned on the water to test it, and found that there was no leak.
He turned to Mu Shaohua and said, "Alright, you can use the water now without worry."
All the tools were packed into the toolbox.
I washed my hands at the sink.
He then picked up his toolbox and left the bathroom.
Mu Shaohua took the toolbox from Lu Qingzhou. "Give it to me, go to the living room and rest for a bit, I made you a cup of tea,"
"Thank you, Sister Shaohua," Lu Qingzhou said as she sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Momo stood up from the sofa and crawled to Lu Qingzhou's side. "Uncle Lu, will you watch cartoons with me?"
Hearing Momo's soft and cute voice, Lu Qingzhou felt a sense of relief. He held her on his lap and sat with her to watch cartoons.
As I watched,
Momo turned to Lu Qingzhou and asked in her childish voice, "Uncle Lu, do you believe in light?"
Well....!
Lu Qingzhou turned his gaze from the television and looked at Momo in his arms.
She stared at him with her large, dark, bright eyes.
Lu Qingzhou thought for a moment,
A kind smile appeared on his face. "Of course I believe in light, because light allows us to see all the colors in the world. It also reminds us that a new day is about to begin."
After listening, Momo nodded, "Yes, I also believe in light."
This made Lu Qingzhou chuckle.
This heartwarming scene unfolded in the living room.
Mu Shaohua happened to see it when she returned with the toolbox!
She didn't come out to disturb them, but stood quietly in the corner.
I was slightly lost in thought!
"A home needs a man and children; that's what makes a complete home!"
......
A moment later, Lu Qingzhou's phone rang!
Lu Qingzhou put Momo back on the sofa and took out his phone from his pocket!
It was Zhang Ming calling!
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Ming's voice came from the other end: "Bro, your little electric scooter is gone. How are you going to deliver food tonight?"
Lu Qingzhou: "I bought a new one."
Zhang Ming: "Oh, when are you coming over?"
Lu Qingzhou glanced at the time on his phone and replied, "I'll be there soon. What time are you at tonight?"
Zhang Ming: "Same old spot! By the way, what happened to your little electric scooter? How did it become scrap metal?"
Lu Qingzhou: "It's hard to explain over the phone, I'll talk to you later!"
Zhang Ming: "Okay, that's settled then."
Lu Qingzhou: "We'll talk when we get there. Bye."
After ending the call with Zhang Ming,
Startled awake by Lu Qingzhou answering the phone, Mu Shaohua emerged from the corner.
They slowly approached Lu Qingzhou.
With a questioning look in her eyes, she looked at Lu Qingzhou and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is something urgent?"
Lu Qingzhou scratched his head. "A friend asked me to deliver food with him. You don't have anything else to do, so I'll head back first."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaohua
He paused for a moment,
She really didn't know that Lu Qingzhou was delivering takeout at night.
She had never asked about other people's private affairs before, nor was she in a position to pry into them.
All along,
Mu Shaohua assumed that Lu Qingzhou was in a hurry to go back to be with his girlfriend, so she didn't think much of it!
Later, I heard him say that he didn't have a girlfriend and was being forced to go on blind dates.
Mu Shaohua was somewhat taken aback!
Only then did he slowly begin to take Lu Qingzhou's affairs seriously.
She glanced at Lu Qingzhou.
He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately it got stuck in his throat.
final,
I just reminded him to be careful while riding his bike.
Leaving Mu Shaohua's house
Lu Qingzhou rode his electric scooter all the way towards Xiangshan Residential Area.
When Mu Shaohua called him,
He left in such a hurry that his little yellow hat and yellow jacket were still at home.
I need to go back and get it!
Xiangshan Residential Area
Lu Qingzhou returned to the house.
He changed into the imperial yellow jacket and wore a hat as a gift, and went downstairs.
He hopped on his electric scooter and headed towards Zhang Ming's location.
Night market area of the commercial street!
