After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Truly Repairing the Air Conditioner

TL: YYang

After 9 PM, the back street of the Foreign Economics College became rather deserted. A few scattered pedestrians would occasionally walk past the “MS” coffee shop. When they turned their heads, they would notice a faint light still on in the coffee shop. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see a handsome man and a beautiful woman chatting.

The man was handsome and dashing, the woman charming and alluring. Such a combination, apart from the age difference, seemed harmonious in every way.

But they only glanced briefly as they passed by and then continued on their way.

Inside the coffee shop, Lin Yuchang and Shen Yuan were chatting idly. The conversation was led by Lin Yuchang. She was particularly sentimental today, even talking about her first love from her student days.

She said that back then, it was all pure love. Even holding hands was nerve-wracking. Every date was like a guerrilla war, having to hide from parents and teachers.

But she might not have realized one thing: wasn’t she also hiding from her husband, Zeng Xianyong, now?
Shen Yuan was a bit absent-minded. Looking at her flushed face and plump lips, he was actually feeling a bit restless.

Lin Yuchang was still dressed coolly today. Her top was a small black tank top. It was wrong to even call it a tank top, because it only had one strap that wrapped around her long, fair neck, like a collar.

Her bottom was a military green high-waisted skirt, which perfectly accentuated her well-proportioned waist.

They say black makes you look smaller, but even wearing this, Lin Yuchang’s impressive bust was still pushed up, full and round.

(PS: Picture will be placed below)

“Shen Yuan, do you believe in love?”

After telling the story of her first love, Lin Yuchang suddenly asked.

“Love?”

“You could say I believe in it, or you could say I don’t.”

Shen Yuan had indeed believed in it back in high school. The palpitations with his first girlfriend, that inexplicable heartbeat and the anticipation of seeing her every day, he felt that counted as love.

But after they broke up, he couldn’t find that feeling with Zhou Wanting. And when he was with Nana, Lulu, and Huihui, he also felt something was missing.

“You’re being so vague…”

Lin Yuchang pouted her pink lips. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call, so she picked it up.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“…”

“It’s just not cooling. I don’t know what the problem is.”

“…”

“Tomorrow morning or afternoon is fine, whenever is convenient for you.”

“…”

“Okay, thank you.”

After Lin Yuchang hung up the phone, Shen Yuan asked, “Is the air conditioner at home broken?”

“Yeah, it’s been broken for a few days. I’ve been sleeping with a fan,” Lin Yuchang said with some displeasure.

“Actually, there’s no need to call a repairman. I’m familiar with this kind of work.”

Lin Yuchang’s beautiful eyes widened. “You know how to fix air conditioners?”

This tender-skinned young stud, Shen Yuan, didn’t look like someone who knew how to fix air conditioners at all.

“Of course I do. I’ve learned the trade.”

Shen Yuan still had a skill exchange card in his backpack, and air conditioner repair was one of the options.

“Then if you know how, can you help me fix it tomorrow morning?”

“Not tomorrow. I’m busy tomorrow.”

Shen Yuan picked up his phone and glanced at the time. “Let’s do it tonight. Fixing an air conditioner shouldn’t take long.”

“But it’s almost 10 o’clock now.”

Lin Yuchang was a bit hesitant.

“It’s fine. If it’s quick, it’ll be fixed in half an hour.”

“Alright then.”

Lin Yuchang didn’t think much of it. The wine was almost finished anyway.

The two took a taxi to the residential complex. After getting out, Shen Yuan asked, “Is your husband home?”

“No, why?”

Zeng Xianyong had said he wasn’t coming home tonight. Otherwise, Lin Yuchang wouldn’t have brought Shen Yuan home. Bringing a man home late at night to fix the air conditioner—who would believe that?

Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. That made things easier.

Shen Yuan followed Lin Yuchang into the complex, took the elevator upstairs. The apartment was warmly and exquisitely decorated, and quite spacious, but it seemed to lack life.

Lin Yuchang told Shen Yuan not to bother with slippers and then led him into the bedroom.

“Your child isn’t here either?”

Shen Yuan asked again.
“The child is in the countryside with his grandparents.”

Lin Yuchang replied, then pointed to the corner of the wall. “It’s this air conditioner.”

“Okay, I’ll check it out.”

Shen Yuan summoned the system panel with his mind, opened his backpack, and then clicked to use the [Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card].

[Host can choose from Junior Cooking Skill, Junior Fighting Skill, Junior Appliance Repair, Junior Racing Skill…]

“Junior Appliance Repair.”

Shen Yuan recited silently in his mind.

[Exchange successful. Host can now repair televisions, refrigerators, range hoods, air conditioners…]

At the same time, Shen Yuan felt countless appliance repair techniques flood into his mind. His fingers also became much more nimble. This was probably the proficiency for using tools like screwdrivers or wrenches.

When Shen Yuan thought about repairing the air conditioner, the repair process and inspection methods indeed popped into his mind. He asked Lin Yuchang, who was beside him, “You have a wrench and a screwdriver at home, right? Bring them over.”

“Okay, wait a moment.”

Lin Yuchang immediately turned and left the room. A moment later, she brought the entire toolbox over.

Shen Yuan found the tools he needed, then stood on a stool and began to dismantle the outer casing of the air conditioner.

When an air conditioner doesn’t cool, it’s usually due to insufficient refrigerant, a faulty compressor, or it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time and is full of dust.

Shen Yuan opened it up and, sure enough, the filter screen and evaporator were covered in dust. This made things much easier.

Lin Yuchang watched Shen Yuan seriously repairing the air conditioner, a faint smile on her lips. Before he came in, she had been worried that Shen Yuan would act inappropriately, especially since he had just asked if her husband and child were home.

A proper air conditioner repairman wouldn’t ask that.

Now, seeing him repair the air conditioner, she knew she had been overthinking things. Shen Yuan wasn’t that kind of pervert.

But at the same time, she was slightly disappointed. Could it be that Shen Yuan wasn’t interested in her?
They were alone in a room, and he was still fixing the air conditioner?

Even if she wouldn’t agree if Shen Yuan did something, his complete lack of action made Lin Yuchang doubt her own charm.

“Shen Yuan, thank you for your trouble. I’m going to take a shower first.”

Lin Yuchang said to Shen Yuan, then found a set of clothes from the closet and went into the bathroom.

Shen Yuan cleaned the indoor and outdoor units with a cloth, then wiped the filter screen clean. After reassembling it, Shen Yuan used the remote control to set the temperature to 22 degrees. Sure enough, a cool breeze blew out.

Just then, Lin Yuchang also finished her shower and walked into the bedroom. Feeling the cool room, she said with satisfaction, “Thank you for your hard work, Shen Yuan. I don’t know how to thank you.”

Lin Yuchang had now changed into a small white tank top. This was a tank top she often wore at home. The neckline revealed a large area of fair skin, and below it were a pair of white semi-circles and that bottomless cleavage.

Because the temperature in the bathroom had been too high just now, it was full of steam, and there were fine beads of sweat on her neck and chest.

It had to be said, this beautiful young madam took very good care of herself. Not only was her face delicate and fair, but her figure hadn’t lost its shape even after having a child.

Lin Yuchang usually dressed like this at home. Today, she didn’t know if it was because of the alcohol or something else, but she was still wearing this tank top even with Shen Yuan here. When she realized this, her pretty face turned red. “Sorry, I’m used to it.”

“Come here.”

Shen Yuan sat on her bed and patted the spot next to him.

Lin Yuchang immediately realized what Shen Yuan wanted to do and shook her head with difficulty. “No, I can’t.”

“Why not?” Shen Yuan smiled playfully and pulled her into his arms.

“This necklace is?”

Shen Yuan noticed a small gold necklace on her neck.

“Mmm…”

At this moment, Zeng Xianyong had just returned from the bar, cursing under his breath.

“A prostitute acting all high and mighty? Wouldn’t even do it for more money. What a fucking bitch!”

Zeng Xianyong was in a foul mood. He had ordered three sets of foreign liquor at the bar tonight, but he hadn’t even gotten the girl. How could he not be angry?

Zeng Xianyong, reeking of alcohol, opened the door and found that the lights in the living room were still on.

‘What’s going on? Shouldn’t Yuchang be asleep by now?’
‘Whatever, she probably forgot.’

He had drunk too much tonight and his mouth was dry, so he went to the water dispenser to get some water.

At this time, in Lin Yuchang’s bedroom.

Outside the door, Zeng Xianyong picked up his cup to get some water, but found that not a drop came out of the water dispenser, and the bottle on top was empty.

“What a fucking bitch! She’s idle all day, can’t even do the housework properly!”

Zeng Xianyong was already in a bad mood tonight, and now he couldn’t even get a drink of water. He strode to Lin Yuchang’s bedroom door, ready to question this full-time housewife about what she did all day!
He reached out to open the lock, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
