Su Ran was unaware of the secret rivalry between Zhong Jue and Gu Cai.

After the match, and after asking Wen Mu about Christine, Su Ran happily took her roommate and Little Butterfly home.

On the way, she called her grandma to tell her that she was on TV.

Grandma was very happy to hear this and kept praising her.

Mosa had been shouting all day, and her voice was hoarse. The 1.7-meter-tall girl leaned on Su Ran's shoulder, sobbing.

To comfort her, Su Ran specially brewed her a pot of honey tea to soothe her throat and even started cooking some of her signature dishes.

I had a competition today for no apparent reason, and I even won it—a competition from her school! It's definitely a day worth celebrating.

Besides making honey tea, Su Ran also ordered several bottles of beer for delivery.

I took one of the bottles of beer and made a beer-braised duck dish.

Su Ran was feeling very restless after the intense exercise, so she prepared a cold dish for herself, along with some other home-style stir-fries.

Mosa and Tang Shan helped out, and Little Butterfly wanted to join in the fun, but Su Ran glared at her and stopped her, so she pouted and looked aggrieved as she watched TV in the living room.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Coming, coming!" Little Butterfly excitedly ran to open the door.

It's Gu Cai, but why does his eye look a little bruised?

Upon seeing the little butterfly, Gu Cai grinned widely. "Hello, little sister! Is your older sister here?"

This was Gu Cai's first time visiting Su Ran's house. He only found out the address by asking Wen Mu. Knowing that Su Ran had a younger sister, he even bought a small cake.

The little butterfly's eyes lit up when she saw the cake, and then she unceremoniously betrayed Su Ran, pointing to the kitchen: "Sister is cooking."

Gu Cai was unusually flustered, standing at the doorway, hesitant to take a step forward.

The little butterfly looked at him with a strange expression.

What's that young man thinking? I asked him, but he won't come in.

Tang Shan brought out the corn and pork rib soup, and when she saw Gu Cai standing at the door, she almost dropped the soup in fright. She groaned and quickly put the bowl on the table, touching her ear with her hot fingers.

"Senior Gu, what brings you here?"

Gu Cai didn't expect Tang Shan to be here. Since she was there, Mo Sha must be here too.

With so many people around, he felt even more embarrassed.

I was secretly having second thoughts; going forward was one thing, but not going forward was another.

But it has come...

Just as Gu Cai was lost in thought, Su Ran came out of the kitchen wiping her hands. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing a section of her fair skin. Perhaps because she was wearing an apron, her cool face was coated with a hazy, pearly glow, making her look gentle and bright.

Su Ran has excellent hearing and knew Gu Cai had arrived while she was in the kitchen.

At that moment, she put down the rag in her hand, giving Gu Cai a way out.

"Want to have dinner together?" she asked.

Gu Cai's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "I could smell the aroma from afar, and I happen to be hungry right now, so I won't be polite."

He happily picked up what he was holding, "I bought some fruit on the way here, I don't know if it's what you like."

Two large, sturdy bags, and a huge fruit basket containing apples, bananas, oranges, and a handful of cherries and strawberries.

Su Ran really likes cherries. Cherries are only ripe and available this season. She originally wanted to buy some, but she forgot when she got busy. She only asked Li Yu to buy a bag for her yesterday so she could have them as snacks when she goes to the film set.

Gu Cai saw Su Ran's gaze fall on the cherries and knew he had made the right choice. Before coming, he was worried that giving gifts like gemstone necklaces would be too expensive and Su Ran might not accept them, while giving something too cheap would seem disrespectful. Fruit was the best choice, something practical and down-to-earth.

Gu Cai had barely sat down, the chair hadn't even warmed up, when the doorbell rang again.

The door opened, and there stood Feng Junhao.

Like Gu Cai, he was also carrying two large bags of fruit and an extra-large fruit basket.
