Chapter 186 Regret for not buying
Water gushed out from the drain under the sink and sprayed directly onto her.
Su Wuli screamed and stepped back, splashing water all over the ground.
She frantically tried to turn on the faucet, but the more she turned it, the more water came out.
"Yu Chen..." she called out subconsciously.
I had just called his name when the bathroom door was pushed open.
The man entered very quickly.
Water gushed out from the connection under the sink with pressure, splashing everywhere.
Su Wuli stood next to the sink, her whole body already soaked.
Clothes clung to her body, and water droplets trickled down her cheeks.
She instinctively took a step back, almost slipping, but Yu Chen caught her by the waist with lightning speed.
Su Wuli was pulled into his arms, her face pressed against his chest.
He used his other hand to shield her head, and the water sprayed onto the back of his hand, splashing onto his sleeve and quickly soaking a large area.
He placed the back of his hand between her face and the spray nozzle, so that the water hit his hand without splashing a single drop onto her face.
Su Wuli stood frozen in his arms, hearing the rushing water.
"Don't move," he said.
He then gently moved her to the side, before releasing her waist and removing his hand from above her head.
Then he took a towel from the side and put it on her head.
Su Wuli pulled off the towel and wiped the water off her face. Then she saw Yu Chen walking back and bending down to crawl under the sink.
Su Wuli stood beside him, watching him half-squat on the ground.
The water was still spraying, hitting his shoulders and back directly.
His hair was wet, the stray hairs on his forehead clung to his skin, and water dripped down his chin.
Yu Chen reached out to touch the water pipe connector, but his fingers slipped away as the water washed them away, so he touched it again.
The screws at the interface were very tight. He tried to tighten them but couldn't. He tried again from a different direction, and finally the water pressure decreased a little.
The water level decreased until it became a thin stream, and then it stopped.
He emerged from under the sink, his hair soaked and plastered to his forehead.
My shoulders and back were also soaked.
Su Wuli stood there, clutching the towel in her hand, her mouth slightly open.
A large patch of her dress, from her neckline to the hem, was soaked and clung to her body. Water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair, landing on her collarbone and sliding down.
"Were you scared?" Yu Chen stood up and asked.
Su Wuli shook her head and looked up at the man's face, which was covered in water droplets.
The ground was covered in water.
Just as Su Wuli was about to use a towel to dry him off, the next second, Yu Chen raised his hand and touched his face directly.
Su Wuli paused, her hand holding the towel still, and then asked, "How do you know how to fix this?"
He glanced at her. "I learned that from TV."
She froze for a moment.
television?
Su Wuli never expected that just by watching TV, he, an ancient person, would actually learn how to fix water pipes.
While she was still in shock, Yu Chen asked, "Where's the toolbox?"
She snapped out of her daze, "It's in the cabinet on the balcony."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Su Wuli followed him out and rummaged through the cabinet on the balcony to find a small box, which she then handed to him.
Yu Chen took it, opened it, and glanced at what was inside.
Wrenches, screwdrivers, Teflon tape, and a few other tools that Su Wuli couldn't name.
She stood aside and watched as Yu Chen took out a wrench and Teflon tape, then went back into the bathroom and crawled back under the sink.
Su Wuli stood at the bathroom door watching him half-squat on the ground, his shoulder resting against the edge of the cabinet.
He simply placed the wrench on the connector, tightened it, then changed direction, and the connector became loose.
He carefully removed the old PTFE tape and wrapped it with new tape, layer by layer.
She stood to the side, her clothes wet and clinging to her body, a cool breeze blowing in through the window.
Finally, Yu Chen tightened the last screw, put the wrench down, and tested the faucet.
After confirming that everything was alright, he turned off the tap and came out from under the sink.
He was even wetter than before, with a large water stain on his shoulder and water still dripping from his cuffs.
Yu Chen glanced at her. "Go take a shower."
She shook her head, "You go first—"
"Go," Yu Chen said, "I'll check it again."
Su Wuli glanced at him, nodded in agreement, turned around, grabbed her clothes, and went to the bathroom outside.
She washed faster than usual, changed into clean pajamas, and dried her hair until it was half dry.
When I returned to the bathroom, everything was already taken care of.
Su Wuli opened her mouth to ask, "Is it all fixed?"
"Um."
Yu Chen nodded and walked over, reaching out to tuck a strand of half-dry hair from her forehead behind her ear.
When my fingers touched her ear, it felt slightly cool.
Su Wuli subconsciously shrank back and looked up at him.
His hair was still dripping wet, running down his forehead.
Her clothes were wet, and the fabric clung to her skin, revealing glimpses of her body underneath.
Su Wuli looked at it for two seconds and then looked away. "Your clothes are still wet."
The man withdrew his hand from behind her ear.
Su Wuli suddenly remembered something, walked outside to the wardrobe and opened it.
There were a few pieces of clothing hanging inside, which she had bought when she went shopping with Wen Yan last time.
Yu Chen happened to follow her out.
Su Wuli picked out a set, took it out, turned around and handed it to him.
He took it and glanced at it.
"Hurry up and take a shower, or you'll catch a cold," Su Wuli urged.
Yu Chen glanced down at her, then took the clothes and went into the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water coming from inside, Su Wuli felt a sense of anticipation rising in her heart for some reason.
After a moment, the sound of water stopped.
The bathroom door opened, and Su Wuli looked up.
Yu Chen was standing there.
A gray T-shirt with a round neck that just touches below the collarbone, short sleeves that reveal the forearms, and black trousers.
His hair was still wet, but it was a little better than before; it wasn't dripping anymore.
She stared at him, momentarily stunned.
It's different from when I wear ancient costumes.
When he's in period costume, he looks like someone who stepped out of a painting—distant and cold.
The man now stood in front of her, wearing the most ordinary gray T-shirt.
Just like... just like the people of this world.
The fabric outlines the broad lines of the shoulders.
It's tapered at the waist, making it very narrow.
Su Wuli subconsciously recalled the last time she gestured to Wen Yan in the men's clothing store, when Wen Yan asked him if he was a male model.
She said no at the time.
Now, looking at the way that T-shirt clung to his body, she suddenly realized that Wen Yan was absolutely right.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chen suddenly asked.
She snapped out of her daze and looked away. "...Nothing."
Yu Chen walked over and stood in front of her.
Su Wuli stared down at her toes, her peripheral vision catching glimpses of his gray T-shirt and black trousers.
I suddenly regret not buying that suit back then; the dark blue one was very well-tailored.
I wish she had bought it.
Just as she was lost in thought, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "Is it appropriate?"
She looked up.
Meeting the man's deep eyes, she subconsciously licked her lips. "Suitable."
After saying that, Su Wuli seemed to hear her own heartbeat.
She turned and went out to the kitchen.
"I'll go get a glass of water."
His steps were a little unsteady.
