Chen Yi smiled and said politely, “It’s no trouble at all. It’s only right for us to help each other out. I’m sure it’s probably a small matter. Sister Su, please give me a moment. I need to change.”
“Sure.”
Su Tian stared at Chen Yi’s back and couldn’t help but feel a little infatuated, “Chen Yi doesn’t usually say much but he hides all these so well! I didn’t notice it before…”
Then, Chen Yi changed his clothes, grabbed his keys, and went upstairs to Su Tian’s house.
Su Tian’s house wasn’t small. Even if she didn’t live in it a lot, it was still three bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom.
There was no light in the living room, but the kitchen and bedroom were still lit.
Chen Yi went over and tried to switch on the light in the living room several times to rule out the possibility that the bulb was loose.
He looked at the electric switch again. There was no sign of the fuse blowing. If it was really a blown fuse, the entire house would not have any electricity.
The light bulb was probably blown. He could just replace it with a new one.
“Sister Su, the biggest possibility is that the light bulb has blown. Do you have a spare one here? If it doesn’t work, it would be best to go to the property management office tomorrow and get them to check the circuit,” said Chen Yi.
“I remember I have one. I’ll go and look for it,” Su Tian tidied up the documents on the table and brought over tea and snacks. She went to the small room next door to find an incandescent bulb.
“Here, is this bulb okay? My husband must have bought this when he was helping me move my things. I was helping the professor with the materials and didn’t pay much attention to it,” Su Tian handed the bulb over to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi took it over with one hand, “It’s okay. Oh right, is your husband still busy overseas?”
Speaking of her husband, Su Tian sighed slightly, “Yes, he’s even busier than me! I wish he was by my side. If we have a child in the future, both of us will be busy. Who will take care of the child?”
Chen Yi removed the packaging of the light bulb and said, “He is doing this for your own good, sister Su. In the future, your family would need money to live. It is good to earn more money now so that it will be more comfortable in the future.”
“That’s true. But it is also unsettling to wander around like this. It’s still better for us to live together,” Su Tian said.
“Yes, that’s true,” Chen Yi agreed.
Money was something that had to be earned throughout one’s lifetime. However, a person’s life was short. If one was so busy making money and could not even take care of his family, it would not be worth it.
He added, “Humans are creatures that live in groups. If you wander around for too long, you won’t feel safe anymore. Home is the safest place. It’s only home when everyone is together.”
“Hey, he’s like a homeless man. I’ll talk to him in a few days. Tell him to stay close to Yu City and manage his business. The two of us can stay here in peace.”
Chen Yi had no right to comment and could only nod.
“Sister Su, please give me two stools.”
“Okay, I’ll move them over for you,” Su Tian took the stools and piled them together, placing them under the light in the living room.
Chen Yi stepped on the stool and went up. He reached out and was about to take the light bulb when Su Tian’s voice stopped him.
He was so surprised that his hand trembled.
“Hey, did you turn off the electricity? It’s so dangerous!”
He said, “Yes, I turned it off. I turned it off when I came in earlier. Thank you for your concern, sister Su.”
Making a fuss about nothing!
Fortunately, his golden finger held onto the light bulb.
After a while, Su Tian came over with a flashlight. She helped him hold the stool with one hand and accidentally brushed past his leg.
“Sister Su, you don’t need to trouble yourself with this,” Chen Yi was not used to it.
Su Tian said, “It’s okay. I’m afraid that you might fall down. I can’t ask you to help me and cause you to get injured, can I?”
“Alright.”
‘I suspect you’re cursing me, but I have no proof.’
He quickly took off the lampshade and screwed the new light bulb in.
Chen Yi was about to come down when Su Tian suddenly asked, “Chen Yi, do you have a partner?”
Partner? What kind of evil thing was a partner? Was it something that he, who had been single for 23 years, could think of?
Chen Yi smiled bitterly, “I don’t have one… Sister Su, look at me. How can I have a partner? I don’t have many things, and I can’t even support myself. I don’t have a proper job either. Which girl would like me?”
“Oh, you’re too modest. Chen Yi, judging from your figure, you’re a disciplined person. I think highly of you,” Su Tian patted his leg.
Chen Yi sighed, “I’m a poor loser, I don’t have money. Sigh!”
Su Tian immediately retorted, “So what if you’re poor? How many rich people are there in the world? We’re all poor and ambitious. In the future, if you work hard, you’ll have money too. Besides, being poor won’t stop you from finding a partner, right?”
Su Tian’s words were obviously trying to comfort him, however, Chen Yi still couldn’t help but laugh, “Sister Su, I know what you mean. It’s just that how many girls these days are not materialistic? Even if the girl is willing to suffer with me, the girl’s parents might not be willing. Materialism is part of the current society. Without money, one would not dare to talk, it’s also not easy to talk.”
“Why are you being so negative? You’re not bad. You’ve been working hard for a few years, haven’t you?” Su Tian said, “How about I introduce you to someone?”
“Don’t joke around, sister Su!”
“I’m serious. Why would I coax a younger brother like you?” Su Tian said, “Have you forgotten what my major was? I have a lot of girls around me. Just say the word and I’ll find you one right away!”
Hearing this, Chen Yi was amused. He got down from the stool and said, “I’ve installed the new light bulb.”
Hearing this, Su Tian pressed the main switch to switch it on and the living room suddenly lit up.
“Oh, it’s working again!”
“That’s great. Call me if you need me. I’m going back, sister Su!” Chen Yi turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Su Tian stopped him, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven’t finished speaking. Didn’t I say that I would introduce you to someone?”
Chen Yi thought it was just a casual remark.
“There’s no rush.”
“You don’t have a partner, do you?”
“No…” Chen Yi shook his head.
Then, Su Tian made Chen Yi sit down and took out her phone, “Look at this picture. How is she?”
He could only sit down and look at the girl on the phone.
Her bangs were neat, her shoulder-length hair was short, and her round face was very cute.
She had dimples when she smiled, and it was tempting to look at her.
Su Tian continued, “How is she? This is my husband’s friend’s daughter. She is in her early twenties and has just graduated from her university. She is good-looking and has a good figure. Her height is also quite compatible with yours. Most importantly, her family background is not bad!”
“She is a Yu City local. She has a small two-story house and another house with a sea view. Two months ago, her parents gave her a Rolls-Royce in gold and purple. Of course, this child is well-behaved and has a good temper. She’s also single.”
Su Tian was tempted, she was ready to tie the red string of fate for them. She said, “Some time ago, I heard from my husband that this child is looking for a partner. We have met before. Don’t worry about my taste. She doesn’t have many requests. She doesn’t have any material needs either. She wants someone who is single-minded, has a good figure, and is tall. She said something about it giving her a sense of security. I think you are very suitable… how about it?”
Chen Yi was embarrassed, “That…”
“Her parents don’t ask for much either. As long as their daughter likes it, they would agree to anything immediately. Think about it. If you two got married, wouldn’t you have a car and a house? There is only one person in the entire Yu City who has such good conditions and such low requirements. First come first served! Are you really not tempted?”
Chen Yi thought to himself, “I see that you are more tempted than I am.”
It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. This rich young lady with great conditions was still pure and innocent to boot!
Changing the color of the Rolls-Royce was not cheap either. She also had two houses. If the location was good, it would cost at least 50 million dollars to resell them? But….
