    Moments before, Su Shen had released her from his embrace, leaving her in a state of euphoria that she had never anticipated. His kiss had been so passionate, so intense, that she found herself questioning if this was the same reserved, aloof man she had known.


    Had she not witnessed his transformation from an inexperienced kisser to a mature lover, she would have found it hard to believe that this man had not been sexually active before. His progress was astonishingly rapid.


    A gust of night wind swept through, dispersing thest remnants of their romantic encounter. Gu Zi handed him a paper bag and saw him out. By the time Su Shen arrived at the pig farm, two pigs had already been ughtered.<div>


    The boss had arrivedte that night, a fact that did not go unnoticed. After exchanging greetings with Su Shen, one of the workers whispered something into Jin Long’s ear. A knowing smile spread across their faces. They all understood why the boss had beente – his wife had been taking good care of him, and it seemed to be working wonders.


    As Su Shen strode through the hall and pushed open the office door, Jin Long followed him in, grinning and gossiping, “You’ve been less enthusiastic about worktely, Brother Shen.”


    Su Shen ignored him, sitting down at his desk and reaching for his tools, ready to go out and conduct some tests. However, as he opened the drawer, the room plunged into darkness. Jin Long’s voice echoed through the room, “Who turned off the power? We’re working here. If you’re still sleepy, go home and sleep!”


    From outside, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, followed by a shout, “Jin Long, the power didn’t go out, it’s a ckout!”


    The pig ughter area was filled with a cacophony of noises – the workers’ discussions, the squeals of the pigs about to be ughtered. But these pigs were lucky. With the power out, they wouldn’t be killed tonight.


    However, this was a crisis for the pig farm. If they couldn’t ughter the pigs tonight, they wouldn’t be able to supply the market the next day, which would result in significant losses. It was a case of one man’s joy being another man’s sorrow.


    Su Shen and Jin Long quickly went outside, where the workers informed them, “We just checked outside. The whole vige is without power. Our circuit breaker is fine, it’s just a ckout.”


    This area, like other viges, had always had an unstable power supply. But ever since Su Shen had set up the pig farm in Daqing Vige, the power supply in the area had be more stable. They hadn’t had to worry about power outages for a long time. But why had there been a sudden ckout tonight?


    Jin Long was puzzled and slightly irritated. Su Shen, however, remained calm. He returned to his office, picked up his car keys, and walked out, carrying a paper bag in his left hand. He told Jin Long, “Come with me to the city now. We’ll go to the power supply bureau first thing in the morning. Everyone else can go home and sleep.”


    Jin Long pped his forehead, “Right, the most important thing now is to get the power back on!”


    The damage for tomorrow was inevitable, but as long as the power was restored, they could avoid further losses. Then they could slowly figure out the cause of the ckout. Su Shen was indeed a capable boss.


    As Su Shen walked out, Jin Long followed, pulling out his motion sickness pills from his pocket and popping one into his mouth like a candy. He muttered, “Good thing I brought these. Butpared to the losses caused by the ckout, throwing up is nothing. It’s less painful.”<div>


    Although he wasn’t stingy, he was still saving up to get married. The losses were all hard-earned money. Even though he wasn’t the boss of the pig farm, he still had a stake in it, and he was feeling the pinch.


    Su Shen started the engine, and the car moved through the endless darkness, bing the only source of light apart from the moon. The dazzling light stopped outside the Su family’s house, where people were gathered, discussing the ckout.


    Aunt Zhang called out, “Gu Zi is probably asleep. I’ve been calling for a while, but there’s no answer. You came back to check on her, Su Shen. You’re so considerate. But that’s how it should be. Gu Zi grew up in the city, she’s probably never experienced a ckout before!”


    She had noticed the ckout and had immediately lit a kerosenemp to find Gu Zi, fearing that she might be scared.


    Su Shen stood by the car, holding a shlight, and said, “Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for thinking of her. I’ll go up and check on her, just to be sure.”


    Aunt Zhang held the kerosenemp, its dim yellow light illuminating her face. Her simple smile was filled with the joy of seeing others happy. She said to Jin Long, who had gotten out of the car for some fresh air, “No wonder Su Shen was able to find a good girl like Gu Zi. He’s such a good man!”
