"Really... how could the door lock suddenly break?"
Yu Shiyue rummaged through the toolbox in the living room, feeling both amused and exasperated.
It's actually quite funny to be stuck because the lock is broken...
Just imagining Xia Che's fierce face turning into a mournful one, and his speechless expression, made Yu Shiyue want to laugh.
Fortunately, Xia Che's description of the location was accurate, and Yu Shiyue found the toolbox he mentioned without much effort.
The tools inside were complete; Xia Che had specially bought the whole set from a hardware store. According to the owner, if all these tools were used, they would be enough to dismantle all the furniture in the room, making it look as if it had been completely destroyed by more than ten huskies.
While this description is indeed quite exaggerated... it's more than enough to remove a door lock.
"Brother Yue, are you sure you can handle this?"
Hearing the sounds coming from outside the door, a screwdriver was poking around the door lock, making a scraping sound that made one's gums ache. Xia Che pressed his ear against the door and listened to these sounds, his lips twitching: "Why does it sound like it's not quite right?"
"Stop arguing! How could you possibly be wrong? Nobody's more accurate than me!"
Yu Shiyue's face turned bright red. Holding the screwdriver, she poked at it again, still not believing it: "It's all your fault for this broken lock. How could the screw be so small? And it's driven so deep... It's hard to find a point of leverage, okay?"
"Damn it... how come I just can't get it in?"
Yu Shiyue stared at the tiny screw in front of her, but no matter how she poked at it with the screwdriver, she couldn't touch it. It was as if the tiny screw was a 3D illusion. Yu Shiyue stared intently, her expression blank, but she still couldn't get it right.
"Will it work or not..."
Xia Che peered through the keyhole at Yu Shiyue's expression and was startled: "Brother Yue! If you really can't fix it, then don't bother. We can just wait for the locksmith to come! Don't hurt your eyes!"
That's fucking terrifying...
Xia Che felt that Yu Shiyue's expression made her seem like she had broken down!
"No... I think I can."
Yu Shiyue's eyes narrowed, her face almost touching the keyhole. With a slight push of her fingers, she finally managed to insert them into the screw. Yu Shiyue then let out a deep breath, exerted a little force, and finally removed the first screw.
"I told you I could!"
Yu Shiyue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and smiled with satisfaction. How could she not be able to remove such a small screw?
impossible!
"Then take your time. There are still five left. Good luck."
Xia Che stood up again and went to wash up. He had just brushed his teeth but hadn't washed his face yet.
"What... there are five more?!"
Yu Shiyue looked miserable; her joy vanished instantly.
Your mother's kiss.
It's already this difficult to demolish just one, and there are still five to go?
What a piece of junk lock!
Are you a safe?
Is there something in your room that you'd like to keep locked up?
"Keep it up!"
Xia Che awkwardly went into the bathroom to wash his face.
He suddenly felt a little guilty.
Remembering that in order to prevent Yu Shiyue from sneaking up on him while he was asleep again, he had to lock the door several times every night before going to sleep. The door was already very old, as was the lock.
Could it be that the repeated use of the lock caused the already worn-out parts to completely break down, leading to its sudden malfunction last night?
It sounds absurd, but I have a feeling it might be the main reason...
In fact, Xia Che only guessed half right. Little did he know that his nightly lock could only keep out ordinary people, but not Wen Chenlu, who had a special way of unlocking the door.
The already worn-out door lock, after being locked and unlocked repeatedly by the two of them, finally gave way last night and broke down completely.
...
"Phew...it's finally open."
Practice makes perfect. After several setbacks, Yu Shiyue finally found a trick. The remaining five screws could no longer stop her, and she quickly opened them.
"Don't forget what I warned you before, don't move!"
Just as the door was about to be opened, Xia Che turned around and glared at Chu Yuying, who was peeking out from under the covers. Seeing that she had been discovered, Chu Yuying stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and shrank back inside.
That damn blond guy...
Do you still remember?
She thought she had forgotten...
With a click, the door lock was removed, and Yu Shiyue casually tossed it into the trash can. She pushed the door open and walked in, a smug smile on her face: "How about that? I told you it wouldn't be difficult for me, right?"
"That's amazing, but I have something urgent to attend to right now. I'll praise you when I get back."
Xia Che gave a thumbs up, then hurriedly went out.
He had already finished washing up, and since the teachers wouldn't take attendance during the college league, Xia Che simply went back to his old ways and skipped class.
Anyway, he believed in Shen Yanxin's abilities; it was just a preliminary round, she would definitely pass.
Moreover, the early matches were no different from bullying weaker opponents, and Xia Che felt that if he wanted to watch something, he would watch something with high intensity to make it interesting.
"oh……"
Yu Shiyue watched Xia Che dash out the door like a gust of wind and shrugged: "Who cares?"
Then, she went into Xia Che's room and looked around. The decorations were still pretty much the same as when she sneaked in before. After looking for a while, she lost interest and turned around to draw some sketches before waiting for the locksmith to come.
"That's strange... It's not the weekend, why haven't I seen Sakura?"
Yu Shiyue had a doubt: "Given this little girl's temperament, she should be howling even in the morning, right?"
"Who's yelling!"
Suddenly, a clear voice, indignant yet tinged with amusement, rang out in the room.
"Holy crap! What is that?!"
Yu Shiyue felt a sudden tremor in her heart. She was completely unprepared and was startled by the shout.
"You...you?!"
Yu Shiyue came to her senses and turned her head to see that there was now a little female ghost peeking out from under the covers of the bed, giggling at her.
"You...you two..."
Yu Shiyue was stunned, then realized something, her eyebrows trembled wildly, and even her facial features became somewhat distorted.
This feeling is strange.
It felt like my soul had been ripped away; my fingers trembled uncontrollably, and all I could hear was my own heart pounding.
Why is this happening?
Was it because Chu Yuying appeared on Xia Che's bed that he was so surprised?
Yu Shiyue didn't think so.
What is that?
It's because...
Is Xia Che and Chu Yuying together?
"You two slept together last night? You're a couple? You won Xia Che's heart?"
Yu Shiyue felt as if she had found the root of the problem and blurted out the question.
