Chapter 12

There were many causes for things like leaking pipes, but this was a trivial matter for Zhen Dong. After some inspections, he was able to determine what was the root cause.

“If the pipe was blocked, then it wouldn’t be leaking water here. The reason should be because there’s a crack in the water pipe.” He lifted the corner of his mouth and turned towards Xin Lian. “It’s okay, I’ll – -“

“Can you help me collect the water first? If it overfills, then just empty it. I’ll be right back.” She interrupted his speech and immediately handed him a bucket. Afterwards, she stood up and quickly walked to the kitchen.

Zhong Zhen Dong stared blankly at first, but then placed the bucket underneath the leak and followed her into the kitchen. He saw that she was hastily getting her wallet, about to head out.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to go close the valve and then go buy a water pipe. Remember, if the water is about overflow, empty it.” With that said, she grabbed the keys and left the house, leaving Zhong Zhen Dong standing in the kitchen by himself.

When the pipe breaks, wouldn’t most women request help from the male beside them? Then he would proceed to tell her to relax, and to not find a plumber, because he could fix it easily.

The result was that, not only did she not ask for help, she also gave him the easiest task while she went out to buy the water pipe by herself.

A small hand tugged on the corner of his jacket. He lowered his head and saw the little rascal standing beside him.

Looking up with his small face, he used his little grownup voice to tell him, “The water is already filled to the brim.”

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little rascal, then turned around to deal with the water-filled bucket, and afterwards, placed the bucket under the leak again. Not long after, the water stopped leaking; indicating that she already turned off the water switch.

Curiously, he waited, and after 15 minutes, she really did bring back a new water pipe. Bringing out a fully equipped toolbox, she crouched below the sink to change the pipes.

Before long, she agilely finished replacing the pipes, opened the valve, and found that the pipe wasn’t leaking anymore.

From start to finish, he didn’t get to show his skills, and could only spectate from the side, watching her quickly clean up the wet floors and soaked objects.

“Okay, it’s fixed.” She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled at him. “The previous pipes rusted and broke, but rest a.s.sured, there shouldn’t be any more leaks after replacing it with a new one.”

That should have originally been his line, but it came from her mouth to placate him instead.

He looked over at her. Her hair was rolled up and clipped to the back of her head. She wore a white blouse that was wet and sticking to her body, outlining her curves. She was holding tools in her hands, and coupled with a happy smile, she looked beautiful and very s.e.xy.
