The two found a decent restaurant for lunch, and Hu Jiasheng used his phone to search for nearby hotels.
The highest-rated hotel was only four stars, with no other options, so the two drove there.
It was already 12:10 PM, giving them at most one hour of rest.
The two stood at the front desk, and Hu Jiasheng asked for a room by the hour. The receptionist immediately understood and nodded.
Taking their identification, the receptionist efficiently processed the request and respectfully handed them back.
"Sir, your identification. Here is your room card."
Hu Jiasheng took it and realized there was only one room card.
Knowing the receptionist must have misunderstood, he considered explaining but then thought that since they had already spent the night together, an hour in the afternoon wouldn't make much difference.
The pure would remain pure, and besides, no one cared about them.
He looked back at Tang Nannan and shook the room card, "Any problem?"
Tang Nannan certainly had no objections.
She hadn't rested during the day for the past two years, let alone gone to a four-star hotel.
"No problem."
The two headed for the elevator under the receptionist's curious gaze.
The door opened, and indeed, it was a misunderstanding.
They had been given a couple's themed room.
The room had only one large bed, which was circular. A large red rose was placed on the duvet, and the walls were adorned with posters suitable only for couples.
The atmosphere was very well set.
However, Hu Jiasheng did not allow the atmosphere to be intimate.
Upon entering and glancing around, he walked directly to the window and quickly pulled open the curtains.
Then, he grabbed the rose from the bed and threw it into the trash can.
"Time is short. You need to be energetic to drive, and I don't want you dozing off this afternoon. Sleep!"
Tang Nannan thought to herself, either Hu Jiasheng didn't like women, or he had been hurt in love.
If he were a pure straight man, how could he act like this at this point?
She didn't believe there were men like the Tang Monk in the world.
Despite her doubts, she still walked to the opposite side of him and knelt down.
"Okay, I'll help you apply the medicine first."
Hu Jiasheng sat on the edge of the bed, and she squatted down, lowering her eyebrows to start unwrapping his bandage.
The sun was bright outside, and the room was well-lit, completely devoid of any intimate feeling.
But for some reason, even in broad daylight, as her hand touched his arm, her heart started to race.
Tang Nannan inwardly cursed herself for being so pathetic.
He wasn't interested in you, and every action he took showed he wanted to keep his distance, yet you still had improper thoughts?
Tang Nannan, Tang Nannan, can't you have a little more dignity?
A tingling sensation spread from his arm through his limbs. Hu Jiasheng also felt ashamed of his own reaction.
A girl, after enduring so many hardships, finally met someone willing to help her, and yet you harbored ill intentions. Hu Jiasheng, if that's the case, are you even human?
Both of them restrained themselves, quickly finished applying the medicine.
Tang Nannan re-bandaged him, and they each occupied a corner of the bed, closing their eyes.
Whether Hu Jiasheng was asleep or not was unknown, but Tang Nannan was definitely not.
The events of the morning were too exciting. Immersed in the joy of a new beginning, she couldn't help but start planning for the future, making it impossible for her to sleep.
The alarm rang at one o'clock. They both sat up at the same time, neither looking at the other, and stood up to tidy their clothes.
After tidying up, they both stood up and headed towards the bathroom.
Noticing she also needed to go to the bathroom, Hu Jiasheng stopped. "You go first."
Although the room was quite spacious, it was too bright and too quiet. Any movement in the bathroom could be heard clearly, making Tang Nannan a bit embarrassed.
"I just want to wash my face. Why don't you go first?"
Hu Jiasheng, being a man, was not as sensitive as her and went directly into the bathroom.
Soon, sounds that made Tang Nannan feel embarrassed could be heard.
Listening to the sound of flushing water and his face washing, Tang Nannan could hardly bear it.
After much thought, when he came out, she went in.
However, she still felt embarrassed about Hu Jiasheng hearing any unpleasant sounds.
She walked around the bathroom, turned on all the faucets and the hairdryer, and then tiptoed to use the toilet.
The charging station was located in a service area along the route. On the way to the service area, Tang Nannan received a WeChat message on her phone.
While waiting at a traffic light, she opened it. It was from Wang Tengfei.
He asked if she was going to the service area in the afternoon, and Tang Nannan said yes.
Wang Tengfei was very happy: "Then I'll head over there later too."
Putting down her phone, the car started moving again. Hu Jiasheng, with his eyes closed, leaned against the passenger seat and asked her.
"Have the vehicles transporting the materials started moving? Have the personnel been deployed?"
Tang Nannan responded with a confused "Hmm?"
"Didn't the people from the electric company send you messages? We can share information. If you already know their movements, I don't need to call them to confirm again."
Since his eyes were closed, it was impossible to tell his mood. Tang Nannan didn't know if his words had any hidden meaning, so she could only interpret them in the simplest way.
"They should all be in place. Young Master Wang just messaged me saying he'll be here later."
Hu Jiasheng remained silent.
After driving for about ten kilometers on the highway, they reached the first service area, which was today's work location. The two got out.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the electric company's vehicles arrived.
Besides Wang Tengfei, there was also a technician.
Including the driver, there were three people in total.
Almost half a truckload of equipment for installing the charging piles was brought.
As soon as Wang Tengfei arrived, he went to Tang Nannan and continued the conversation from earlier.
The technician felt he was there for technical work, not to be a porter, and stood by the side, exchanging pleasantries with Hu Jiasheng.
Only the driver was laboriously unloading things by himself.
It was already work hours, and although working outdoors meant a degree of autonomy, slacking off shouldn't be too obvious.
After chatting for a few minutes, Hu Jiasheng turned his gaze to the driver.
"Master, this thing is quite heavy, and it's difficult for you to carry it alone. Let me give you a hand."
It wasn't just that his attire wasn't suitable for helping with the unloading; even if it were, Tang Nannan wouldn't dare let him.
Hearing his voice, Tang Nannan immediately looked over and then rushed to his front.
"I'll do it, I'll do it. Don't reopen your wound, I'll help."
Saying this, she reached out to take the item from the driver.
It weighed dozens of pounds; how could a frail woman like her manage it?
Wang Tengfei quickly called out to the technician, "What are you standing there for? Come and help."
The three of them worked together to unload the items.
Tang Nannan, without a moment's rest, immediately rushed to the vehicle again to help the driver with some small miscellaneous items.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Wang Tengfei, as a grown man, felt he couldn't stand idly by, so he also went to help.
With the young master getting involved, the technician couldn't remain idle either. Everyone finally got busy.
Hu Jiasheng stood by, his gaze fixed on the diligent and hardworking Wang Tengfei.
