He didn’t know when Lu Feng also came into the kitchen but this person leaned against the door frame and spoke lightly, “Can I help?”

An Zhe naturally didn’t expect the colonel to be familiar with working in the kitchen and replied, “No.”

However, Lu Feng didn’t leave. He just looked at An Zhe before glancing around the small kitchen. Finally, his eyes stopped on the silver tap at the sink. “It is leaking?”

“En.”

The kitchen tap had been leaking from the first day he moved in. No matter how tightly An Zhe closed it, water would drip down. The sound wasn’t obvious during the day but at night, when everything was silent and even the lights of the distant Twin Towers were off, the sound of dripping would echo through the room, sometimes disturbing his sleep. Disturbing his sleep was nothing. The important thing was that he was afraid to pay for more water.

Then An Zhe saw Lu Feng take off his coat and put it to one side. Lu Feng rolled up the sleeves of his uniform shirt and raised his hand to turn off the black sluice above the water pipe, a place that was out of An Zhe’s reach. Then he unscrewed the tap.

An Zhe watched silently. He felt that Lu Feng’s move had only two possibilities. One was to completely destroy his tap while the other was to help him repair it. He felt intellectually that it was the former but he emotionally preferred to believe it was the latter.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lu Feng was unloading the eight pieces of the tap and didn’t raise his head. “Go.”

His tone made it seem like he was the master of this place. The real master An Zhe put down the spoon and went to the entrance to a soldier in a military uniform. The man looked around the living room and said, “Colonel Lu asked me to come here.”

He had a loud voice.

Lu Feng’s calm voice was heard from the kitchen, “Here.”

The soldier walked to the door of the kitchen and saluted. “Colonel Lu, I’m a logistics officer. I was negligent about the matter of your ID card. It was our mistake—”

He suddenly paused, his eyes shifting to the tap parts in Lu Feng’s hands as he looked like he saw a ghost. Then he continued, “…For this, we sincerely apologize and—”

“Talk less nonsense.” Lu Feng’s cold voice interrupted.

The soldier said, “…I’ve sent you a new ID card.”

“Thank you.” Lu Feng didn’t look at the soldier as he reassembled two parts together in his hand. “Put it down.”
