"What can't you smell?"
It seemed that Gun had a bit of a problem with his nose. How could he not notice such a strong odor at all? Shen Jianyi found it rather strange.
Gun seemed to be tinkering with something. Immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly changed. He looked extremely tortured. Then he pressed a button and gradually regained his normal look.
"What are you doing?" Shen Jianyi was extremely curious. What was that button all about?
Gun patiently explained to her, "This is an automatic air purification system. All the toxic substances and unpleasant odors are blocked outside."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi frowned. It seemed that she needed to adjust her mask sometime. Compared with his, hers could only process sounds. It was really useless in other aspects.
Finally, the three of them pushed open the inner door. When they saw the scene inside the room, Shen Jianyi finally understood where that smell came from.
There were dirty clothes of all sizes and all kinds of smelly socks scattered randomly around the room.
There were also some moldy dried fruits on the floor. There was hardly any place for the three of them to stand. The old man didn't seem to care at all and just stepped on the trash and walked in.
But for Shen Jianyi, it was truly a torture. She could tolerate a messy room, but she couldn't stand the dirt and stink. It was just too much for her.
But then she thought that if this man could really repair her watch, it wouldn't hurt to go in and take a look. She just needed to find a safe and clean place to stand.
Shen Jianyi lowered her head and forced herself to walk in, carefully avoiding the trash with almost every step.
After walking a few steps, she felt that no one was following her.
So she turned around and saw the man standing at the door, refusing to come in no matter what. He stood there with his arms folded, looking like a lord.
She frowned tightly and asked coldly, "Why aren't you coming?"
Gun coughed lightly but didn't move from his spot. It seemed that no matter what she said, he wouldn't go in.
"Do you have a cleanliness fetish?"
The man nodded.
"What a coincidence. The guy in my family also has a cleanliness fetish." Shen Jianyi said it casually, but unexpectedly, the man outside shivered.
This abnormal reaction really made Shen Jianyi suspicious. This time, she decided that no matter what, she must take off his mask and see who was behind it. She had to know.
"Aren't you coming in?" Shen Jianyi deliberately provoked him. "If you don't come, we'll go in."
Maybe seeing that the woman really didn't intend to wait for him, Gun hurriedly rushed in. When his feet stepped on the trash, Gun's whole body became extremely stiff. He felt that if he stayed there any longer, he would go crazy.
Shen Jianyi closely followed the old man. Finally, he pushed open the bedroom door and they saw the repairman he had mentioned sleeping soundly, snoring from time to time.
"Defu, wake up quickly! Do Uncle a favor."
The man on the bed didn't move. The old man kept shaking his body and talking non - stop.
This made Shen Jianyi think that the man was pretending. After all, one couldn't wake a person who was pretending to sleep. Even after such a violent shaking, he could still sleep calmly. He must be pretending.
Since that was the case, Shen Jianyi didn't need to be polite to him anymore. She walked straight up to the man and pushed his shoulder, but there was still no reaction.
The old man sighed. "This kid hasn't woken up yet. How about we come back later?"
As soon as he said this, she could clearly see the hostility in Gun's eyes. It was as if if this man didn't get up soon, he would be punished.
Shen Jianyi coughed loudly.
As soon as she made a sound, Defu immediately sat up from the bed. His dirty little face looked at the woman in surprise.
"Pretty sister?"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi took a few steps back. It was true that she liked others to call her sister, but - she really couldn't associate such a dirty person with calling her sister.
But soon she got used to his manner. Defu was well - known for being glib - tongued, but he was also very good at pleasing people. Although his home was a bit messy, he would definitely dress up neatly when he went out.
Shen Jianyi handed him the watch and asked calmly, "Can you repair this watch?"
Defu was just about to take the watch when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He rolled off the bed and ran straight to the sink outside.
Not long after, he tidied himself up. Even the dirty stuff on his face was gone.
He smiled happily, took the watch, looked at it from all angles, and finally gave her a confident thumbs - up.
"Don't worry. This watch was just hit by something. It can be easily repaired."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it could be repaired, she would be able to contact Xia Liang after the watch was fixed.
"How long will it take?" Shen Jianyi was already impatient. The sooner the better. She couldn't wait for a single minute.
Maybe Defu had some bad ideas. He hesitated for a long time and thought for a while before answering. "This watch will take more than a day to repair. If you feel uncomfortable staying in the bedroom, you can wait in the living room."
What a strange thought! Shen Jianyi frowned and said seriously, "I'll leave the watch with you. We'll go back first and come back to pick it up at this time tomorrow."
Defu didn't succeed, so his expression was a bit unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. After all, they were guests and he hadn't had any business for several days.
He was a man who could clearly distinguish between public and private matters, so he would definitely charge for his service.
"I have to tell you in advance that it will cost a lot to repair this watch. Don't forget to pay me later." Defu reminded them. "By the way, I only accept cash. There's no signal here."
Shen Jianyi nodded and then left.
After getting out, she took big gulps of fresh air. The smell inside was almost suffocating her. There were even several times when Shen Jianyi wanted to grab Gun's mask and put it on herself. It was really too painful.
Fortunately, Defu didn't hesitate too much and they didn't stay inside for too long.
But now they faced a problem. They couldn't pay by mobile phone here. They could only pay in cash. But - how could she have cash with her when she went out? There was no way to pay.
"Do you have any cash with you?"
Now Shen Jianyi could only pin her hopes on Gun.
But the man shook his head. It seemed that even if the watch was repaired, they might not be able to get it back.
