Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 765: Chapter 782: Changing the Light Bulb (Part 2)

"Got it!" Xi Xiaoyi replied immediately, "But it’s in the storage room, and it’s so dark now. How do we get there?"

Lin Xi, "..."

Even though the lights are out, this is her home, and she could make her way there with her eyes closed!

Besides, how far could it be?

So he asked, "You have your phone with you, right?"

Xi Xiaoyi nodded, feeling a bit sweaty in her palms at this moment.

Not just because she’s afraid of the dark, but more crucially, she’s worried Lin Xi might try something under the cover of darkness!

If Lin Xi knew what she was thinking, he would probably be speechless!

He’s not that kind of person!

It’s worth noting, if he wanted to do something, he definitely wouldn’t choose to do it in the dark, after all, you can’t even see anything, and the excitement would be greatly reduced.

Just like the ancient saying that when the lights go out, aside from one’s figure, everything else looks pretty much the same.

"You have a phone but didn’t take it out, plus I remember yours is an iPhone!" Lin Xi shook his head, "iPhones have a flashlight, you just have to swipe up!"

Hearing Lin Xi’s words, Xi Xiaoyi, who was somewhat anxious and frightened just now, suddenly felt much better.

And she withdrew her hand from Lin Xi’s grasp, and a few seconds later, a bright beam of light shot out from her hand, instantly illuminating the room like a small light bulb.

Xi Xiaoyi, at this moment, suddenly felt it was a bit unbelievable!

She never had the feeling of reliance like just now, and if she were alone, with the lights broken, she would immediately think of illuminating the room, probably with the phone!

Yet just now, she didn’t remember the phone’s flashlight, and even after Lin Xi reminded her, she still didn’t think of it.

"What’s wrong with me?"

"Have I become a silly, sweet girl?"

"..."

At this moment, Lin Xi didn’t notice her expression but instead asked, "Sister Xi, take me to the storage room!"

Only then did Xi Xiaoyi regain her composure and immediately led Lin Xi towards the storage room.

The storage room at her house is next to the bathroom, not large, about five or six square meters.

It’s not filled with many things, mostly tools and such.

Thus, it didn’t take long before the two of them found the replacement light bulb.

With the light bulb and some tools in hand, they returned to the living room.

Lin Xi fetched a stool, moved it under the light, and stood on it while Xi Xiaoyi held the stool steady and used the phone’s flashlight to illuminate where the broken bulb was.

Lin Xi unscrewed the lampshade with a screwdriver and handed it to Xi Xiaoyi to place it below.

Then he removed the broken bulb, handed it to Xi Xiaoyi again, and asked her to pass him the new bulb.

When the bulb was placed, the room’s light immediately restored to its original state and appeared slightly brighter.

After receiving the lampshade from Xi Xiaoyi’s phone, Lin Xi installed it once more.

Upon finishing the installation, Lin Xi lowered his head to look at Xi Xiaoyi and suddenly froze on the stool, keeping the downward-looking posture, starting to daze.

Because just now Xi Xiaoyi was using the phone to shine upward, when he looked down, all he saw was harsh lighting and nothing else.

But once the lights were fixed, when he looked down, the phone’s light wasn’t as glaring, and he could clearly see the scenery below.

So, almost eighty percent of the view was visible to him.

Moreover, her posture now was half-bent, holding onto the stool for stability.

And she had no idea about Lin Xi’s gaze.

But she still asked, "How’s it going? Done yet?"

Lin Xi, with a screwdriver in hand, poked around left and right, but his gaze wasn’t on the light.

About thirty seconds later, Xi Xiaoyi finally sensed something amiss and followed Lin Xi’s gaze to look down. Upon seeing, her face flushed instantly.

"This jerk, while I’m struggling to hold the stool for him, turns out he’s been staring at me there!"

"Totally got the short end of the stick!"

The more she thought, the angrier she got, and without another word, she withdrew her hands and hurriedly walked towards the sofa.

At that very moment, her foot stepped on the edge of a shoe, and she was about to fall at ninety degrees towards the coffee table.

Now, the coffee table is made of marble.

If she hits it, she’d definitely get a bump on her forehead, and worse, she could be bleeding...

"Screwed, screwed!" she internally exclaimed.

As for Lin Xi, she had no hope of him reaching her, as he was still above, surely wouldn’t make it in time!

However, the next moment, when her forehead was just five centimeters away from the coffee table.

"Seems like I’m going to disfigure!"

Just as she said that, suddenly a hand appeared at her abdomen, preventing her from further falling down dangerously.

And she could feel that this hand was like steel beams fixed there, firmly holding her in place.

"Whose hand is this?" she wondered.

After all, she’d always believed this was impossible!

But aside from Lin Xi, there were no other men in the room. Could it be Lin Xi?

She propped one hand against the sofa while the other rested on the wrist that supported her abdomen, raising her gaze to see who saved her, and upon seeing, she couldn’t help but ask unbelievably,

"It’s you again?"

"How did you make it in time?"

Because by now Lin Xi had somehow left the stool and was squatting on the ground, holding her entirely.

It’s safe to say, over eighty percent of her weight was now in Lin Xi’s hands.

Lin Xi flashed a smile, spun his body, and as he did so, exerted a bit of strength to hold Xi Xiaoyi close in his arms, and together they spun onto the nearby sofa!

Because she realized that she had to act fast to prevent any mishaps.
