What if she disagrees, what if she rejects me?
Then I won't be able to come anymore.
Looking at it this way, the neighbor's sister-in-law really is a great wingman!
"I'm the one who should apologize. Why don't you go and explain to that sister-in-law later, so as not to ruin your reputation?"
Zhang Hongmei waved her hand: "No need to trouble yourself, I'll talk to her next time I have the chance."
He was initially quite excited after hearing the first half of her sentence, but his heart sank when he heard the second half.
Li Dawang simply stopped talking and bent down to change the lock.
This was the first time he had changed a lock, so he wasn't very skilled at it.
Before long, he was covered in sweat.
He was also covered in sweat.
It's hot now, and he wiped away his sweat, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Hongmei handed her a glass of warm water at the right time: "Drink some water before you start working. You're all sweaty."
Li Dawang didn't stand on ceremony and drank it down in one gulp.
Zhang Hongmei took the empty cup from his hand and handed him a handkerchief.
Li Dawang glanced at it, and then, as if struck by a thought, his face flushed pink.
He quickly wiped his face twice and then shoved it into Zhang Hongmei's arms.
Twenty minutes later, he finally got the lock working.
He originally intended to tinker with it for another ten minutes or so.
But seeing that Zhang Hongmei was already sweating, he had no choice but to abandon the plan.
Besides, there's hardly anyone walking around in the hallway right now.
Except for that sister-in-law from earlier.
"alright!"
"From now on, when you're home alone, you can lock the door from the inside."
"This will be much safer."
"Girls should still be careful!"
Zhang Hongmei nodded, looking at Li Dawang's work with satisfaction.
"How much did this cost you in total? I'll give it to you."
When Li Dawang heard her reminder, his ears were ringing. He waved his hand with difficulty and was about to pack his things and leave.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow night and take you to my house."
He left after saying those words.
Zhang Hongmei watched him go downstairs until he disappeared from sight, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
He closed the door and went back to his bedroom to rest.
