Chapter 7: Kid, you have a good appetite!
When He Ji finished work, the sun had already set. After calculating the day's income and expenditure at the construction site and returning to the rented house, it was already past nine o'clock.
The first thing he did when he entered the house was to take off his clothes and go to the bathroom to take a shower.
After wetting his hair, he poured some shampoo on it, worked a lot of foam and tried to rinse it off, but found that there was no water.
"grass"
He couldn't help but curse, picked up a bath towel and tied it around his waist, then went out with foam on his head.
As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Su Yan who had just returned from the rooftop. They looked at each other, Su Yan smiled, and he also smiled, but Su Yan was amused, while he was angry.
"That kid is so mean! He turned off the water while I was taking a shower."
Su Yan smiled and waved her hand quickly after hearing this. "I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know you were taking a shower."
The third floor shared a water pipe, so if she wanted to install a faucet, she had to turn off the water.
She didn't hear him come back just now, so she thought he was still outside, so she didn't say hello when the water was cut off.
"I'll go turn on the water. You should take a shower first. This isn't very nice."
He was shirtless, his dark chest was covered with water droplets, and shone with oil under the light.
Su Yan didn't dare to look at him. Her eyes fell on the top of his head when she spoke, but her eyebrows were curved by the foam on his head.
He looked like the character in Kung Fu, embarrassed and funny.
"Forget it, let me fix your things first, so you don't have to make another trip."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, her eyes moved down, and she met his deep eyes for a second, then quickly turned her head away, "How did you know I wanted to repair something?"
He Ji tutted his words and entered her house first, saying in a deep voice, "If you don't have anything to fix, then you turned off the water because you had nothing better to do?"
Su Yan: ...
That makes sense.
"What's broken?"
He Ji walked in, asked casually and went to the bathroom.
"The faucet is broken, so I bought a new one and want to replace it."
As he was speaking, He Ji had already entered the bathroom. Seeing the toolbox on the ground, he turned sideways to glance at the child leaning against the door frame.
"You have all the tools ready. Do you know how to use them?"
After buying a faucet in the afternoon, Su Yan tried for a long time but failed to unscrew it, so she shook her head honestly.
He Ji looked at her red palm and gritted his teeth, "I just told you to come to me if you have any problems, and you forgot it right away."
With such soft hands, it would be difficult for me to even unscrew the bottle cap, let alone unscrew the faucet.
"If you do that again, I won't be so easy to talk to, understand?"
His eyes were extremely aggressive, with an irresistible strength. Su Yan's heart was lifted when he looked at her.
Seeing that he was still staring at her, she clutched the corner of her clothes, opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, so she could only nod.
He Ji narrowed his eyes and laughed, "That's how you behave."
Although he knew it was not nice to scare her, if he didn't take a more assertive stance, she would retreat into her shell like a turtle.
He had to be ruthless when dealing with such a child who had no opinion and was shy.
He Ji was trying to scare her on purpose. In front of her, he unscrewed the broken faucet with his hands and then installed a new one.
Su Yan looked at it with her eyes wide open.
The faucet was half embedded in the wall, with only the switch protruding. She almost broke the faucet that was exposed.
There was only a tiny bit of pipe, but he actually unscrewed it with his hands. If there was a cow in front of him, she had no doubt that he could kill it with one punch.
Seeing her wide eyes, He Ji knew that she was terrified.
The little thought in his mind was fulfilled, and he went to the roof to turn on the water in a good mood.
After checking that the faucet was not leaking, he raised an eyebrow at Su Yan, then waved his hand, "Go and get the pants I left on the sofa. I'm going to take a shower."
In just a few minutes, the foam on my head was reduced to half because there was no water to moisturize it.
His head felt like it was wrapped in a layer of plastic cloth, which made him feel stuffy and extremely uncomfortable. He Ji was too lazy to go back and planned to wash his hair here.
Su Yan wanted to refuse, but the person inside closed the door, and the words she was about to say were shut in her mouth.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, and her face turned red instantly as if it was blown by hot steam.
She covered her ears and ran out, standing outside the door for two minutes before she went to help get her pants with her legs shaking.
He Ji moved very quickly. When Su Yan put it back into her pants, the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped.
Hearing footsteps, he opened the door and saw Su Yan holding pants in her hands with her eyes tightly closed.
He approached and took away her pants. Without avoiding her, he pulled off the bath towel and put them on in front of her.
Listening to the sound of fabric rubbing against each other, Su Yan's face not only turned red, but even her ears felt like they were on fire.
She didn't dare open her eyes, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see.
After changing his pants, He Ji sneered, his mockery obvious. "Why are you so embarrassed? Didn't you take physiology classes in junior high?"
Su Yan didn't dare to speak. She had just taken a leave of absence during this class, so she had never seen it.
There are pictures in the book, but can the pictures in the book be the same as the real thing?
After wiping his body casually, He Ji hung the towel around his neck and patted Su Yan's head, "You can open your eyes now."
Although he said so, Su Yan was still afraid. She first secretly glanced at his legs, and only dared to open her eyes after seeing his trouser legs.
"You're just a little girl, why are you afraid of everything?"
Su Yan thought for a moment, tilted her head, and said softly, "Little girl, shouldn't you be afraid of everything?"
He Ji didn't expect her to answer. After a moment of hesitation, he laughed, "You're right. Little girls should be afraid of everything."
"Is there anything else to eat at home? I'm hungry."
He had a heavy workload and ate several large bowls of rice at six o'clock. Now he is hungry again.
Normally he either eats out or eats instant noodles, but now he doesn't want to make do with that.
"—there's still some leftovers."
Su Yan said this with a guilty conscience, because she was not sure whether he would come back to eat, so she deliberately cooked two extra cups of rice.
Since she didn't see him after dinner time, she planned to save the remaining rice to make porridge tomorrow.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Su Yan couldn't help blushing when asked about it.
She did this as if she particularly wanted him to come over for dinner.
"Leftovers are fine, I'll go eat some."
"Are you hungry? I'll heat you a bowl."
As he spoke, he had already reached the kitchen. When he took the bowl and opened it, he turned his head to look at her.
"Little boy, you have a good appetite today. I cooked so much rice."
This big pot of rice is enough for her to eat for two days.
He clearly knew why he cooked more, but he still teased her. Su Yan was almost crying with embarrassment.
She stood in the living room, her eyes red and her small red mouth tightly pursed into a straight line.
When He Ji saw it, his heart itched. The little boy's appearance was really tickling.
If he wasn't such a beast, he would have killed her by now.
He put the bowl down and beckoned to Su Yan, "Come here and let me see."
Su Yan didn't want to go over, but under his threatening gaze, she couldn't control her feet.
