Chapter 1889: It

Wei Yangyang was very depressed.

But she did not stay depressed for long, because the work on her hands suddenly increased.

Once a person becomes busy, they have no heart to fuss over trivial matters.

One day, just as Wei Yangyang was drawing and feeling dizzy and muddled, she suddenly received a call from a friend.

This friend was none other than Yi Xiang's current landlord.

Wei Yangyang held her phone between her shoulder and ear while modifying a design drawing, chatting with her friend in passing: "What made you think of calling me?"

"There is a matter I want to ask you about; is the person renting my place still there?"

"Yes, he is."

"He hasn't moved out?"

"He shouldn't have moved out."

"Since that's the case, why can the gas company people never run into him? They have already visited three times, and haven't caught him once."

Having held the phone with her shoulder the whole time, Wei Yangyang's neck was a bit sore.

She switched to holding it with the other side and asked: "Is there something the matter with the gas company people?"

"Yes, they need to do some inspections or something. I've also called the tenant, but no one answers."

"I see, then I will find a way to contact him."

"Then I'll trouble you."

After saying this, the friend thought of something and urged: "I will give you the gas company's phone number; you pass it on to the tenant and let him coordinate a time for them to come over."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yangyang plunged headfirst into her work.

Busy and dizzy, she almost forgot her friend's request.

Fortunately, on the way to work the next day, Wei Yangyang suddenly remembered this matter.

Right then, she changed direction and drove toward Yi Xiang's residence.

Yi Xiang lived on the third floor, and on his floor, he was the only tenant.

So when knocking on the door, Wei Yangyang had no reservations, pounding on the door with a loud *bang bang*.

But there was no response.

It was now

past seven in the morning; if he wasn't home at this time, did he stay out all night?

Wei Yangyang suspiciously took out her phone and gave Yi Xiang a call.

However... a ringtone came from inside the door!

Wei Yangyang immediately turned her head, looking at the tightly shut door.

She thought to herself, could it be that Yi Xiang... was still inside?

Yet there had been no reaction at all!?

In an instant, some not-so-good assumptions popped into Wei Yangyang's mind.

These assumptions made her expression look very bad, and she hurriedly patted the door.

And she shouted while patting: "Yi Xiang, open the door quickly! If you don't open the door, I'm going to call a locksmith!"

After patting for a while longer, the door was suddenly flung open.

Then...

"What are you making such a racket for!"

Yi Xiang's attitude was very fierce, his hair was messy, and he was... only wearing a pair of underwear.

Because he had been woken up by the noise, he still had a bit of "morning grumpiness" on his face.

However, when Yi Xiang discovered that the person standing at the door was Wei Yangyang, he froze for a moment.

The next second, he reined in his anger and scratched his hair, looking a bit awkward.

Actually, Wei Yangyang was even more awkward than him!

She tried her best not to let her gaze look toward places it shouldn't.

Her tone of voice was also very righteous: "What is wrong with you, why don't you return calls?"

"I went to shoot an advertisement; I can't look at my phone while working, and when I'm not working... I'm too sleepy, so I didn't take my phone out."

After explaining, Yi Xiang then asked: "Is there something you need from me?"

"Yes."

Wei Yangyang explained the situation.

Yi Xiang hadn't expected that he had caused trouble for others, so he apologized first.

Then, he thought of a solution: "I still have to work during the day and won't be home, so can I give the door lock password to the staff and let them handle it themselves?"

"Ah? This... that wouldn't be very good,

it's easy to have security risks."

"But I really can't spare the time."

Wei Yangyang thought for a moment, then offered a suggestion: "How about you say a time when you are home."

"Between five and eight in the morning."

This answer made Wei Yangyang raise an eyebrow, and she asked: "You... aren't joking, are you?"

"Why would I joke? This isn't funny."

When Yi Xiang said this, his expression was very serious.

So serious that Wei Yangyang couldn't help but comment: "You really don't care about your life!"

Perhaps because he had just woken up, it took Yi Xiang a moment to react and understand what Wei Yangyang meant.

Then he grinned and said, "Sister, are you worried about me? I'm fine; shouldn't young people be out there working hard on their careers?"

"Even so, you must act within your limits."

"Mm, I know."

Yi Xiang responded very readily.

However, Wei Yangyang felt that he was definitely just saying it offhandedly.

As a fellow corporate slave, Wei Yangyang suddenly felt a sense of shared empathy.

Pursing her lips, she decided to offer some help: "If you trust me, I can keep an eye on things for you during the day."

As soon as her voice fell, she was hugged!

Then, above her head, came Yi Xiang's happy voice: "Sister, you are truly too kind; you must have been sent by the heavens to save me!"

Although Yi Xiang only hugged her for a moment before letting Wei Yangyang go.

The sensation of their skin touching...

Almost made her have a nosebleed!

Wei Yangyang hurriedly raised her hand to fan herself, hoping to lower the restlessness in her body.

Yi Xiang turned back to write down a string of numbers, handed them to Wei Yangyang, and said, "This is the door lock code; you can come whenever you want."

"I should hurry; I have a meeting with him in an hour, and then I need to get back to the company."

"Fine,

I'll listen to whatever you arrange."

After speaking, Yi Xiang checked the time and sighed, "Time to start work. Sister, I'm going to take a shower first; you sit for a while."

"Okay."

Wei Yangyang found a spot and sat down.

Yi Xiang strode toward the bathroom with his long legs.

Wei Yangyang glanced at Yi Xiang's back, then quickly turned her head to look elsewhere.

Soon, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.

That sound drummed against Wei Yangyang's ears.

And once again, it made her mind involuntarily conjure up an image of a handsome man bathing...

Damn it, what is wrong with me today!

Wei Yangyang shook her head, then walked to the balcony, intending to catch some breeze to calm herself down.

This balcony was very large, and the morning sunlight was exceptionally good.

And directly opposite the balcony was a tea restaurant.

Wei Yangyang stared at the signboard for a while and suddenly remembered that someone had recommended this tea restaurant to her.

It was said that the food was quite good.

Wei Yangyang... was a little tempted.

She was wondering whether she should go grab something to eat after she finished helping...

Just as Wei Yangyang was struggling with the decision, Yi Xiang finished showering and changed his clothes.

His hair was still wet, and he looked very well-behaved.

After calling out to Wei Yangyang, he said, "Sister, I'm leaving now. There is bread in the fridge; you can eat it."

"I already had breakfast this morning. What about you? You haven't eaten breakfast, have you?"

"Mm, but there's breakfast where I'm working, so I'll eat when I get there."

"Then be careful on your way."

"Will do."

Yi Xiang was about to leave after saying that.

But when he reached the door, he turned back and said to Wei Yangyang with a smile, "Sister, I suddenly feel the warmth of a home."

As his voice fell, Yi Xiang walked out the door.

Wei Yangyang tilted her head, thinking to herself that by saying that, did he feel... she was

like his mother?

Sigh, it seems I need to buy some new, more vibrant clothes another day.

This professional attire just looks too mature!
