"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
It was evident that even though Yin Ningdie called it a "broken phone," she was still reluctant to replace it easily... Even though she was already quite wealthy and owned several buildings from which she collected rent, her frugal habits had been ingrained in her personality, making it naturally difficult for her to spend lavishly.
"Come in!"
Su Yan took Yin Ningdie's phone, placed it on the table, and then began rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching for the phone repair tools he had bought online a long time ago.
After all, he was a salaried worker, and repairing a phone once was quite a burden. After hearing online that he could totally fix it himself, he specifically bought a set of phone repair tools from Taobao.
But the final result was obvious: after he "fixed" it, the phone never turned on again... Even the repair shop owner praised his "superb craftsmanship"!
"Su Yan, why do I feel like you've become a different person?" Yin Ningdie said, looking around the room.
"A different person?"
Su Yan didn't lift his head, continuing to search.
"Yes! You used to be so timid. You'd lower your head and walk around me when you saw me, and if I said a couple of words to you, your face would turn completely red!" Yin Ningdie giggled, covering her mouth.
"Haha, I was pretty clumsy back then, indeed!" Su Yan chuckled softly.
Back then, he was just an ordinary employee, working overtime every day, squeezed dry by his boss, unable to even lift his head... His meager salary and humble social status made Su Yan always feel inferior, and naturally, how could he greet his dream girl?
But now, he was no longer the man he once was. Five hundred years of change, five hundred years of domination and invincibility, the past glory and supreme honor, all filled Su Yan's every move with confidence!
"Found it!"
With the complete set of phone repair tools, Su Yan immediately bent over the table and began working, his movements fluid and precise. [Immersive Reading: Yishan Literature Network]
Yin Ningdie, being an outsider and also curious about Su Yan's repair capabilities, leaned in to watch. But just from watching, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Su Yan, your movements are so fast!"
"Much smoother than the Apple repair shop staff!"
"Don't you need to look closer to see what's wrong?" Yin Ningdie asked in astonishment.
She had witnessed how the Apple repair shop staff repaired phones, but compared to Su Yan, it was like night and day!
Whether Su Yan was disassembling screws or removing the battery panel, the entire process was as if he had practiced it ten thousand times. There was no slightest hint of hindrance, every movement was rhythmic, and just watching it was a pleasure!
Moreover, Su Yan hardly paused or struggled throughout the process, seemingly finding the problem point immediately without even asking further questions.
"It's just a relatively backward, simple machine. It's not a big problem!" Su Yan said nonchalantly, without lifting his head.
He used to frequently repair Sky Carriers in the Marvel Universe, and later even personally repaired the core of a mechanical planet... That was truly advanced and complex. If even a tiny, hair-sized part went wrong, it could very likely lead to the entire process being scrapped!
A mere Apple phone?
In his eyes, it was naturally "backward"!
"Backward machine?"
"This is my latest Apple phone! I only bought it less than half a year ago!" Yin Ningdie grumbled.
Su Yan gave a wry smile.
He had forgotten that Earth's technology couldn't compare to the technology in the Marvel Universe.
"Done!"
Soon, Su Yan reassembled the screws, and a perfectly intact Apple phone was handed back to Yin Ningdie.
Yin Ningdie pressed the power button to turn it on, half-believing.
Sure enough, the phone turned on directly!
"Wow! It's really fixed! Su Yan, you really can repair phones!" Yin Ningdie's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
"This phone was probably dropped by you about 19 times. There was a poor contact fault in the internal circuit board. It's not a big problem!" Su Yan said casually.
"You even know how many times I dropped my phone?"
What was said unintentionally was heard intentionally. Yin Ningdie asked in surprise.
"This is the most basic observation skill for a scientific researcher. If I didn't even have this much, how could I make a living?" Su Yan declared shamelessly.
Just kidding, did I boast about achieving transcendence through science and technology? At my peak understanding of technology, I could even separate the Beyonder's power from the cosmic membrane for my own use… An Apple phone? That's child's play!
"Su Yan, since you're so amazing, could I ask you for another small favor?" Yin Ningdie adorably stuck out her tongue.
"No problem, what else needs repairing?" Su Yan took on the task with confidence.
"I have a broken laptop at home. It's two years old. I took it to someone to fix before, and they said the motherboard was broken and needed to be replaced.
All in all, the repair fee would be over a thousand yuan… That laptop only cost four thousand yuan when I bought it, and it's been used for so many years, so…"
"So you thought it wasn't worth it, and just let it be scrapped, right?" Su Yan interjected.
Yin Ningdie's small face flushed, and she nodded.
"Landlady, you own several buildings that you collect rent from, not just a few apartments, but several buildings! Are you really so unwilling to spend even that much money?" Su Yan teased good-naturedly.
"I'm just being thrifty!"
"My mom said, no matter how rich you are, you can't waste money!" Yin Ningdie said righteously.
"Alright!"
"Then go get the laptop. I'll take a look for you! If I can fix it, I'll try my best to get it done!" Su Yan spread his hands.
Repair was based on the hardware not being damaged. If parts were damaged or missing, even the most amazing repair skills would be useless!
"Why don't you just come to my place? That way, you won't have to go back and forth!" Yin Ningdie said directly.
"Go home?" Su Yan raised an eyebrow, looking suspicious.
"What, scared?" Yin Ningdie gave him a playful smile.
"Who said I was scared!"
"Let's go then!"
Su Yan laughed in exasperation.
What kind of person was he?
Although his glory was no longer, he wouldn't be provoked by a young girl!
Moreover, the woman was being so open about it, how could he, a grown man, chicken out?
And so, Su Yan followed Yin Ningdie to her home.
Along the way, they encountered many residents of the rented apartments, especially the men. When they saw Yin Ningdie walking with a guy, laughing and chatting, their eyes immediately turned red!
Although they didn't say anything, Su Yan could clearly hear faint sounds of heartbreak quietly emanating from them!
"Sis, you're back!"
As soon as they entered the door, a sweet voice reached them.
On the sofa, there was a girl with a ponytail, holding a phone, engaged in an intense game.
