Xiao Wei hastily apologized, her face flushed red with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry, my... I mean, Ye Xuan! I was too focused on the mission and jumped to conclusions. My attitude was terrible, and it's all my fault!"
She was mortified.
It turned out to be a complete misunderstanding.
What's worse, she had barged into the restroom and seen everything...
The more Xiao Wei thought about their scuffle—pulling, bumping, and all sorts of awkward moments in that tiny restroom—the more embarrassed she became.
She wished the ground would just swallow her whole.
"So, can I leave now?" Ye Xuan asked dryly.
"Of course," Xiao Wei replied, blinking playfully. "I'll make it up to you with dinner someday."
With Xiao Wei personally escorting him out, Ye Xuan descended the stairs under the curious stares of the other officers. He hopped onto his tricycle and rode off.
"Who was that?"
"My idol!" Xiao Wei declared proudly.
"What? Your idol? A delivery guy?"
"Hmph! Don't you dare underestimate him!"
Soon, a juicy rumor spread like wildfire within the police precinct: "Our prettiest officer, Xiao Wei, has a super handsome boyfriend!"
The younger male officers were devastated.
"Who is it? Who dares steal our goddess?"
A few hundred meters away, Ye Xuan sneezed on his tricycle.
"Who's talking about how handsome I am again?"
Leaving behind Little Sister Street, Ye Xuan moved on to his next delivery.
Following the navigation, he arrived at another apartment complex and headed to Unit 1105 of Building 8.
Knocking on the door, he called out, "Hello? Is Su Ya here? Shunfeng Express!"
Inside, a young woman with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes lay on her bed.
"Why is my husband on another business trip again?" she murmured wistfully. "I miss you so much..."
Su Ya sat up and glanced at the mirror across the room.
It reflected a beautiful yet slightly weary young housewife.
She was 28, married for four years, with stunning looks and a fantastic figure—easily an 85 out of 100.
Her husband adored her, and they had a seemingly perfect marriage.
The only issue? Her husband had been incredibly busy over the past year, constantly traveling for work to secure a promotion. Even when he came home, he was too exhausted to spend time with her.
In the last three months alone, he had left on seven trips, leaving Su Ya to face long, lonely days by herself.
She understood his ambition and the pressures of work, but it didn't make her loneliness any easier to bear.
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang, followed by a bright, energetic male voice.
"Hello? Is Su Ya here? Shunfeng Express! Please come out to collect your package!"
"Hm?"
The vibrant and magnetic voice roused Su Ya from her half-sleep. She stumbled to the door and peered through the peephole—only to freeze in shock.
Standing outside was an incredibly handsome deliveryman.
For a brief moment, Su Ya felt like she was transported back to her younger days, reliving the thrill of first meeting her husband.
It was the unmistakable feeling of her heart skipping a beat.
Opening the door, she stood face to face with Ye Xuan, who was momentarily taken aback.
Before him stood a young housewife with stunning features and a perfect figure.
Clearing his throat, Ye Xuan lowered his gaze politely and said, "Are you Su Ya? Please sign for your package."
Su Ya was startled, suddenly realizing she had answered the door in her sleepwear.
And not just any sleepwear—her favorite, fashionable one. She flushed crimson, wishing she could disappear into the floor.
"No, stay calm, stay calm!" she told herself. "As long as I act like nothing's wrong, he won't notice. If I don't make it awkward, it won't be awkward!"
Her strategy was wishful thinking.
Of course, Ye Xuan noticed but chose to respect her dignity by keeping his eyes averted.
No need to invite trouble, or long stares that lead to awkwardness.
"Here you go." Su Ya signed for the package, her hands trembling slightly.
Ye Xuan nodded courteously, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
But just as he reached the stairs, Su Ya suddenly remembered her broken bathroom lightbulb.
On impulse, she called out, "Wait! Could you help me with something?"
Ye Xuan paused and turned back. "What is it?"
"My bathroom lightbulb is out. Could you help me replace it?"
