Not long after, Su Youzi changed her clothes and came downstairs.

She was wearing a loose T-shirt and trousers, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking youthful and energetic.

"What are you doing? It smells so good."

"Pizza," Duan Xingye said without turning his head, taking the heated pizza out of the oven.

Su Youzi looked at the pizza on the table, then at Duan Xingye, and a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"No need to thank me, it's nothing valuable," Duan Xingye said dismissively, handing her a slice of pizza.

Su Youzi took the pizza, took a bite, and the rich cheese and durian flesh spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes.

"Is it good?" Duan Xingye asked.

"Mmm, delicious." Su Youzi nodded, praising it generously.

"Eat more if you like it." Duan Xingye looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The two sat at the table, eating pizza and chatting casually.

"By the way, why did you buy pizza for me today?" Su Youzi suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.

"You're overthinking it. I want to eat it myself." Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow at her.

Su Youzi hated his smug expression.

She put down her pizza and said with a forced smile, "Oh, I was just being presumptuous. I'm not eating it."

Duan Xingye put down his pizza, leaned back, and looked at her leisurely before sighing.

"Yes, yes, I bought it for you. Eat it quickly."

Su Youzi rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile. She picked up the pizza and took a big bite, as if she was challenging someone.

Duan Xingye chuckled inwardly as he looked at her haughty little face.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." He said, but then picked up another piece and put it on her plate.

Su Youzi glanced at him sideways, snorted, and didn't refuse, continuing to eat the food in her mouth.

Duan Xingye looked at her, suddenly remembering what happened this afternoon, and asked casually:

"How was your date with Xia Jingchu today?"

Su Youzi paused, looked up at him, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Duan Xingye shrugged and said casually, "Just asking. After all, it's a date, and I wanted to know how you felt."

"It's great. Xia Jingchu is gentle and considerate; he even gave me a bouquet of roses," Su Youzi said casually.

Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow. "Roses, how tacky."

“It’s pink, how is it tacky?” Su Youzi rolled her eyes at him.

Duan Xingye tightened his grip on the water glass.

"You're vulgar too."

"Tch, what girl doesn't like flowers?" Su Youzi scoffed.

"Yes, some girls also like earrings." Duan Xingye's tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

Su Youzi asked in surprise, "You watched the live stream?"

"I saw it by chance," Duan Xingye said casually.

Upon hearing this, Su Youzi's eyes lit up immediately. She put down the pizza in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and asked:

"How about that? The netizens' insults were pretty harsh, weren't they!"

Duan Xingye: ...

When she asked him that, he completely forgot why he had brought it up in the first place.

"So, you don't really like those earrings?"

Su Youzi shrugged, looking relaxed.

"It's alright. I wouldn't say I really like it, but I know that if I did, Xia Jingchu would definitely give it to me. He doesn't have much money, and if he spends all his money on me, netizens will definitely criticize me."

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt towards Xia Jingchu.

"Xia Jingchu is actually a pretty good person. He's really unlucky to have met someone like me. Sigh, I'll apologize to him properly after the show."

Duan Xingye's mood suddenly improved, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"An apology is due."

Su Youzi nodded, then yawned.

"I'm full and sleepy, I'm going to bed."

"Go to sleep if you're tired." Duan Xingye got up to clear the table, glancing at her. "I'm exhausted. Teaching you to tread water is much more tiring than my workout."

Su Youzi chuckled, "Didn't I already thank you?"

"Just a simple thank you, and I find you take it all for granted that you're ordering me around." Duan Xingye held a plate of pizza in one hand and ruffled her hair with the other.

Su Youzi exclaimed in surprise, immediately touched the top of her head, and glared at him angrily.

"I just washed my hair, are your hands oily?"

"It's oily." Duan Xingye spread his hands out to show her, grinning mischievously.

Su Youzi was annoyed. She grabbed a tissue and wiped her hair. "You did that on purpose!"

Duan Xingye felt even more pleased seeing her flustered appearance.

He put the rest of the pizza in the refrigerator and then casually threw the tissue she used to dry her hair into the trash can.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll take you back to your room." His tone softened.

Su Youzi nodded, stood up, and stretched.

Duan Xingye escorted her to the door of her room, his eyes filled with a hint of doting affection.

"Good night."

Su Youzi waved goodbye.

-

the next day.

In her daze, Su Youzi seemed to hear a knock on the door.

"Who is it..." she mumbled indistinctly, struggling to get out of bed.

She thought it was one of the male guests knocking on the door to deliver breakfast.

To maintain her "gentle and charming" persona, Su Youzi cleared her throat and said in a sweet, cloying tone:

"Please wait a moment~"

She grabbed a coat and draped it over herself, then sighed and opened the door with a forced smile.

"Why are you here?" Upon seeing who it was, Su Youzi's smile vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised surprise.

The person standing at the door was none other than Duan Xingye.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants today, looking clean and fresh, and he was also carrying a bag.

"Here you go." Duan Xingye waved the bag in his hand.

"What is this?" Su Youzi was stunned for a moment, then blankly took the bag, her eyes full of doubt.

"Swimsuit," Duan Xingye said expressionlessly.

"Where did you come from?" Su Youzi's sleepiness was completely dispelled, and she blinked her eyes as she stared at him.

last night?

At the poolside, she was distressed that her swimsuit was too sexy, so...?

I was a little surprised, and a little happy.

Duan Xingye said irritably, "Bought it, or did you steal it?"

Su Youzi glanced at him. Although Duan Xingye always seemed indifferent on the surface, he was actually very considerate.

"Thank you~ I'll cook you something delicious tonight, don't say I'm ungrateful~" she said sincerely.

"I just wanted a bigger late-night snack." Duan Xingye waved his hand and said gently, "It's still early, go back to sleep for a while."

Su Youzi smiled, pursing her lips.

"Hmm, I'm going to sleep a little longer. Are you going to exercise?"

Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow. "Yes, even though you've drained me dry, the training plan still can't be changed."

Su Youzi rolled her eyes at him.
