Er Zhu showed no panic. After skillfully parking the car, he was about to get out to inspect it, when he felt a warmth on his arm.
"Damn!"
Er Zhu looked down and saw Wang Xiaomei clinging tightly to his arm. There was no space between them; Wang Xiaomei seemed to want to merge into him!
The softness on his arm sent waves of warmth, making Er Zhu feel like the air around him was getting hotter. Wang Xiaomei's breathing was close to his ear, and this intoxicating sound made Er Zhu's heart race!
"Hoo..."
Er Zhu took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart to calm himself.
He had to remain calm. He absolutely couldn't do anything to betray Mei Jie!
Er Zhu reminded himself as he slowly pulled his arm away. Feeling the vibration on her chest, Wang Xiaomei finally realized something was wrong.
"Ah!"
Seeing the arm in her embrace, Wang Xiaomei's face turned bright red as she cried out. She quickly let go of Er Zhu, her eyes showing both shyness and embarrassment.
"Um, I was just afraid of being thrown out..."
After a long moment, Wang Xiaomei mumbled as she thought, but before she could finish, she heard the sound of Er Zhu unbuckling his seatbelt.
"Mmm, I know."
With only this sentence, Er Zhu got out of the car. Wang Xiaomei looked at Er Zhu outside the car, her shy gaze turning to melancholy.
If it were anyone else, they would have likely lost control by now. It was only Er Zhu who showed no interest in her!
Wang Xiaomei gave a self-deprecating smile and sat alone in the car, lost in thought.
Although Er Zhu had inherited the River-Luo Divine Arts, there was no method for repairing cars within it. He knew a little, but only a little.
"Forget it, I'll just call customer service."
Er Zhu circled the car several times, but found no problem. In the end, he had to call for rescue.
Soon after, Er Zhu contacted customer service. Just as he was about to get out of the car, it suddenly started to rain heavily!
The rain was torrential. In just one second, Er Zhu was drenched. He quickly closed the car door, and raindrops began to trickle down.
"Er Zhu, hurry and dry yourself, don't catch a cold."
Seeing Er Zhu completely soaked, Wang Xiaomei grabbed a tissue and hurried to wipe him down.
"This is truly a case of misfortune piling upon misfortune. Not only did the car break down, but now we have such heavy rain!"
Listening to the sound of the rain outside, Wang Xiaomei frowned slightly, looking worried.
"It's okay, this kind of downpour will stop soon."
Er Zhu said as he wiped the rain from himself. Just then, he accidentally touched Wang Xiaomei's hand.
Wang Xiaomei instantly felt a jolt of electricity flow from her hand throughout her body. She looked at Er Zhu, drenched and utterly lost.
Er Zhu's white shirt clung to his body, revealing hints of his strong physique. Wang Xiaomei swallowed, feeling a heat spread through her.
"Er Zhu..."
A soft, tender voice reached him, making his bones feel like jelly. Wang Xiaomei slowly moved closer, about to embrace him!
"Xiao Mei, we are just friends!"
Er Zhu grabbed Wang Xiaomei's wrist. He frowned and loudly reminded her. His booming voice jolted Wang Xiaomei awake, and her eyes returned to normal.
The temperature in the car instantly dropped below freezing. Wang Xiaomei looked at Er Zhu's determined gaze, and her heart chilled by half!
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, I..."
Thinking of what had just happened, Wang Xiaomei felt both ashamed and embarrassed. She lowered her head, wanting to explain, but not knowing how.
This was too humiliating. If Er Zhu hadn't reminded her, she would have almost lost control!
Wang Xiaomei's face was as red as a ripe apple. She wished she could crawl into a hole.
"Ding-a-ling!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to speak, a series of urgent phone rings interrupted the awkward silence. Er Zhu quickly answered the call.
"Mr. Wang, we have arrived. However, due to the heavy rain, we will need to wait for it to stop before we can repair your car. We apologize for the inconvenience."
As soon as Er Zhu answered, a polite voice came from the customer service representative.
"Okay, I will wait for you here."
Er Zhu glanced at the pouring rain outside and nodded gently.
After hanging up, the car fell silent. Thinking about everything that had just happened, Er Zhu let out a long sigh.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Li Mei's image in his mind at a critical moment, he might not have been able to resist!
Tsk tsk, girls of Wang Xiaomei's caliber were truly vixen-like!
And he had four of them by his side!
Er Zhu pursed his lips speechlessly. Just as he was lost in thought, the rain stopped!
"Er Zhu, I..."
Wang Xiaomei had been immersed in the previous atmosphere. She had never felt so humiliated!
"Alright, let's not mention this again. Just remember our relationship."
But before she could finish speaking, Er Zhu cut her off. With this sentence, Er Zhu quickly got out of the car, leaving her alone once more.
Just like at Liu Daming's wedding...
As soon as Er Zhu got out of the car, the repairman had already arrived. Seeing Er Zhu, the repairman was taken aback.
Dressed so shabbily, he couldn't possibly be the boss. This guy must just be the driver!
Just as Er Zhu was about to introduce the situation to the repairman, he saw the repairman bypass him and bow deferentially to Wang Xiaomei inside the car.
"Miss, I am repairman number zero zero one, Lin Jianguo. You can call me Master Lin."
Lin Jianguo said with a fawning smile, looking as respectful as possible at Wang Xiaomei.
"Thank you, Master Lin, for your trouble."
Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Wang Xiaomei was startled and nodded dazedly in return.
This car isn't his, why is he talking to her?
Wang Xiaomei's eyes were full of confusion, but when she saw Er Zhu's casual attire, she seemed to understand something.
After greeting Wang Xiaomei, Lin Jianguo began to inspect the car. He didn't glance at Er Zhu from beginning to end. Er Zhu wasn't angry and simply stood aside.
"Miss, I've fixed it. It was just a sensor malfunction."
After a while, Lin Jianguo shouted to Wang Xiaomei in the car while inspecting the sensor.
"Master Lin, this isn't a sensor malfunction. The oil pipe is ruptured!"
Just as Lin Jianguo was about to pack his tools and leave, he suddenly heard Er Zhu's voice.
"Can you, a mere driver, stop showing off? I've been repairing cars my whole life, am I not as good as you, a kid?"
Challenged, Lin Jianguo frowned slightly and asked with some annoyance.
"So much oil is leaking, are you blind and can't see it?"
Er Zhu didn't want to argue, but seeing so much oil leaking, he couldn't help but say something.
"What did you say? You dare to curse at me? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
This remark completely enraged Lin Jianguo. He quickly put down his tools and rushed towards Er Zhu with his fists clenched!
