"Xiaoyan, I really didn't see it. I thought you were just an ordinary employee, but I didn't expect you to be so proficient in repairing electronic products!"
"And I've noticed that you don't seem to be the same as before. When you saw me previously, you always lowered your head and refused to make eye contact, but now you can look at me and even appear a bit embarrassed. It's gone!"
"The most significant change I've observed is in your temperament; you have transformed a lot, and there's a different energy about you... Have you experienced something joyful recently?"
In Fang Yan's memory, Guo Xuerong should have been the image of a strong-willed and assertive woman, but now Guo Xuerong is chatting away, looking him up and down, and offering various comments about him.
"I've had some interesting experiences lately, so my perspective has shifted a bit!"
Fang Yan replied with a smile.
How can he explain that he has also spent a considerable amount of time as the ruler of the parallel universe, and for a decade, he was the master of the universe? Although he lacked the power to control the entire universe at will, he still carried a certain aura. How could he be easily baffled?
Ding!
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor, and Fang Yan followed Guo Xuerong. As soon as Guo Xuerong opened the door, Fang Yan heard another girl's voice.
"Why are you rushing?! Are you still scared of his 'lingering blood' when you're full of vitality?"
"Li Bai, can you not be so dramatic? Just confront him!"
Hearing the excited and resentful shouts, Guo Xuerong's expression suddenly soured.
"Yurong!"
"How many times have I told you not to play games and scream like that? Look at how you're behaving!"
Guo Xuerong scolded sternly.
At this moment, Fang Yan also saw the girl in the room, lounging on the sofa and engrossed in her mobile phone game. Although he only saw her from the back, he could discern details like her white camisole similar to Guo Xuerong's, her smooth and fair neck, and her long hair with delicate fringes. This Guo Yurong who had entered must also be exceptionally attractive!
As anticipated, Guo Yurong, engrossed in her game, immediately lifted her head upon hearing Guo Xuerong's voice.
A perfectly oval face, well-defined features, blushing lips as clear as blood gemstones – her flawless visage looked as if she were wearing makeup, yet a closer look revealed that it was all-natural beauty with no traces of cosmetics or enhancements!
If Guo Xuerong represented a poised and confident older sister figure, then Guo Yurong embodied youthfulness and vibrancy!
Guo Yurong's gaze lingered on Guo Xuerong for a second, then swiftly shifted to Fang Yan, who stood behind her sister.
"Sister, since when did you get a boyfriend?"
Guo Yurong scrutinized Fang Yan with a wary expression.
"What boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Xuerong raised an eyebrow. "This is Xiaoyan, a tenant who moved in when my mother was still here. He's been living here for a few years. I heard he's skilled at computer repairs, so I asked him to come and fix the laptop you ruined!"
"That laptop? It's been around for two or three years, and didn't some repairman say that the repair cost would be more than getting a new computer? When did you become bad at math?"
Guo Yurong rolled her eyes.
"What do you know, kiddo? Is your sister someone who's bad at making decisions?"
Guo Xuerong held her head high, curling her lips in disdain, and ignored Guo Yurong. "Xiaoyan, the laptop is right there, please!"
"Sure!"
Fang Yan smiled and followed Guo Xuerong into her room.
As the saying goes, you can discern a person's character from their room's arrangement... Guo Xuerong's room decor truly matched her personality: neat and tidy, a strong fragrance hanging in the air, dominated by pinks and vibrant reds. Every aspect revealed that Guo Xuerong was a blend of elegance and boldness!
"Xiaoyan, take a look at this laptop. My unfortunate sister spilled a glass of Coke on it, and it hasn't turned on since!"
"See if you can repair it. If it's beyond fixing, don't force it!"
Despite wanting to take advantage, Guo Xuerong still knew how to behave.
"Alright, I'll take a look."
Fang Yan didn't say much, he just sat down, pulled out his tools, and swiftly began dismantling the laptop.
At that moment, Guo Yurong appeared at the doorway.
"Sister, is this guy capable? He might be another one trying to woo you under the pretext of fixing a computer. I've encountered plenty of such men!"
Guo Yurong eyed Fang Yan suspiciously.
Evidently, she held a deep hostility toward Fang Yan, believing him to be nothing more than an admirer of Guo Xuerong's who had come up with an excuse to fix her laptop, which she heard was malfunctioning.
Naturally, Guo Yurong wouldn't extend any courtesy to such a person!
However, Fang Yan was unfazed by her remarks.
"You're clueless, so don't make baseless claims!"
Guo Xuerong scolded her, "I took my latest Apple phone to a professional repairperson, and they couldn't fix it. But Xiaoyan fixed it in no time. He's amazing!"
"Hey, isn't there a problem with the phone now? It's acting like it's on its last legs and can't be used!"
Guo Xuerong rolled her eyes, not taking it seriously in the least.
"Sister Xuerong, there are indeed quite a few issues with your laptop. I assume you turned it on to test it before the spilled coffee had completely dried up?"
"The main circuit board and some other components have been damaged."
Fang Yan explained.
"That's what the last repairman said too!"
"I thought he was some sort of miracle worker!"
Guo Yurong retorted immediately.
"Yurong, if you don't have anything constructive to say, keep quiet!"
Guo Xuerong snapped, "Xiaoyan, can you fix it?"
"It's fixable!"
Fang Yan turned to glance at Guo Yurong, "You don't have to pay a dime, just give me a piece of iron!"
"Really?!"
Guo Xuerong's face lit up upon hearing this.
The previous repairman had claimed that the cost of repairs would be higher than just buying a new laptop. So, getting it fixed for free was a huge gain!
Guo Yurong, on the other hand, remained skeptical.
She'd seen people boast before, but never to such an extent!
