Xiang Xiaoyuan called out a few times and vaguely heard Xu Xiyao’s voice coming from the storage room. She turned on her phone’s flashlight and walked over.

There was a faint light seeping out from the storage room. When she opened the door, he saw Xu Xiyao holding a flashlight and seriously checking the electricity meter. Xiang Xiaoyuan walked behind him and put her phone back into her pocket. She raised her hand and took Xu Xiyao’s flashlight. “Don’t touch this. It’s dangerous. Wait for the people from the property management to come over.”

Xu Xiyao turned his head. The storage space was small and the two of them were very close. Xu Xiyao was slightly distracted. He looked away. Perhaps it was because it was too hot, his throat was a little dry. “It’s okay. I know what to do. In the past, I was the one who fixed the electrical circuits at home.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan saw the sweat on Xu Xiyao’s forehead. She turned and found a small electric fan. Then, she held it close to Xu Xiyao’s neck and switched it on. Suddenly, a cool breeze hit him.

Xu Xiyao felt a little uncomfortable. “I don’t feel hot.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan laughed at him. “Nonsense, your forehead is full of sweat. It’s probably too hot. Alright, I know you’re very independent and powerful, but the property management will send someone over soon. The convenience store will be closed tonight. You go home and rest first. I’ll wait here.”

Xu Xiyao rejected without thinking, “No need. I’ll stay here and wait. Boss, you go back first. It’s hot here.”

It was indeed quite hot here, and Xiang Xiaoyuan was very afraid of the heat. However, she did not feel at ease leaving Xu Xiyao alone here.

After thinking for a while, she asked, “You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”

Xu Xiyao replied subconsciously, “Yes, I have.”

“Liar.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan stuffed the flashlight into Xu Xiyao’s hand, and their fingers touched briefly. She turned around and walked to the shelf to check. “There seems to be a new product on the market. What flavor do you want to eat? If I had known that you hadn’t eaten, I would have packed a meal for you just now.”

Xu Xiyao, who was in the storage room, wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Turkey noodles? Not really. It’s not nice to eat spicy food on such a hot day,” Xiang Xiaoyuan muttered to herself outside. Although they hadn’t spent much time together, based on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s observation, Xu Xiyao wasn’t a picky eater. He could eat anything.

Xu Xiyao was still holding a small electric fan that was handed over by Xiang Xiaoyuan. The wind from the fan carried the scent of roses. After some thought, he walked out of the storage room.

Before he could reach Xiang Xiaoyuan, he saw a tall figure appear behind her. Xu Xiyao stopped in his tracks.

Xiang Xiaoyuan straightened his body and did not notice that there was someone behind him. She almost fell down. Fortunately, Lu Wanggui was quick. He grabbed her waist with his big hand. He knew that she didn’t like the heat, so he let go of her after she stood up.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was shocked. She was even more surprised when she saw who it was. “Didn’t you go back?”

Lu Wanggui did not answer her question.

Seeing that she was so hot that her forehead was covered in sweat, he sighed lightly. Then, he raised his hand to pull out his tie and put his hand on her shoulder naturally, asking her to turn her back. Lu Wanggui’s movements were not slow, but they were not fast either, he quickly collected her smooth long hair and tied it up. It looked strange, but it cooled her down a little.

It was too hot in the middle of summer with her hair draped over her shoulders. She had been in the air-conditioned room the whole day and did not feel anything. Now that the electricity in the convenience store was cut off, she felt like she was about to explode from the heat!

At this moment, it was Lu Wanggui who had saved her.

She felt much cooler after he tied the hair up. Xiang Xiaoyuan raised her hand to touch her hair. When her fingers touched his tie, she suddenly remembered that his tie was dark blue today.

“Thank you,” Xiang Xiaoyuan thanked him sincerely.

Lu Wanggui looked around the store and asked, “What did the property management say?”

“They’ll be here in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

Lu Wanggui took off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. He looked at Xu Xiyao, who was not far away. “Where’s the toolbox?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. “You know how to fix it?”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “I’ll try it.”

Xu Xiyao silently went to find the toolbox and handed it to him.

Lu Wanggui had suffered a lot in order to achieve his current status. He had done this kind of thing in the past but was probably not very familiar with it now. However, as a smart person, he did not forget. His actions were clearly more professional than Xu Xiyao’s. After he turned off the power switch, he began to repair it. Occasionally, he would say something to Xiang Xiaoyuan.

“Point the light to the left. Yes, this is the place.”

“I have sweat on my forehead.. Please help me wipe it off.”
