I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

After Duan Xingye left, the room suddenly felt much emptier.

Looking out the window at the ships coming and going on the Huangpu River, Su Youzi felt empty inside, as if something was missing.

She took a deep breath and began packing her luggage.

At noon, the hotel delivered a sumptuous lunch.

After finishing their meal, the group set off for the airport in a large group.

Upon arrival at Shazhou Airport, the driver from Ruisheng Shazhou Branch had been waiting for a long time.

The car drove smoothly all the way and finally stopped in front of a magnificent hotel – the Star Map Hotel.

The hotel's exterior blends elements of classical gardens and modern architecture, featuring carved beams and painted rafters, upturned eaves, yet it is also full of a sense of technology.

After getting out of the car, Su Youzi looked at Xia Lin.

"Mom, the production crew has arranged a hotel for the actors, and I don't feel comfortable staying here."

Charlene waved her hand, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"That hotel's facilities are just average; there's no need for us to force ourselves to stay there. Besides, it's a hotel under the Ruisheng Group; what's wrong with staying in our own hotel?"

Ning Zhi also said, "As long as the actors perform well, the production crew won't care where they live."

Before Su Youzi could say anything more, Xia Lin pulled her inside.

In addition to twenty large suites with private courtyards, the hotel also has three detached villas, one of which they stayed in.

This villa is located in the hotel's back garden, in a quiet and private environment.

"The luggage that Zhizhi and I packed in advance has already been delivered. Please let us know if you need anything else," Xia Lin said.

Although Su Youzi felt it was a bit of a "fuss," she knew that her mother and mother-in-law were doing it all for her.

She smiled and replied, "Okay."

Su Youzi's room is on the second floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the unique scenery of the sandbar.

The bathroom was filled with steam and a faint rose scent.

Su Youzi, wrapped in a bathrobe, dried her wet hair.

She walked to the sofa, sat down, and picked up the script.

Soft light shone on the script, illuminating her beautiful face.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

"Youzi, it's me." Ning Zhi's gentle voice came.

Su Youzi got up and opened the door. Ning Zhi came in carrying a bowl of steaming sweet soup.

"The desert weather is dry, have a bowl of fig and pear water." Ningzhi looked at her lovingly.

Crystal-clear pears paired with plump figs.

"Thank you, Mom." Su Youzi took the sugar water, blew on it gently, and took small sips.

Ning Zhi sat to the side, watching her quietly, her eyes full of tenderness and concern.

Su Youzi sipped the sweet syrup slowly, letting it slide down her throat and into her stomach, warming her heart.

As the sugar water at the bottom of the bowl gradually decreased, her eyes became slightly moist.

"It's delicious."

Ningzhi reached out and touched her hair. "From now on, Mom will make you low-calorie sugar water every day."

Su Youzi smiled, pursing her lips, and nodded vigorously.

"Don't stay up too late, get some rest." Ning Zhi smiled gently, got up and picked up the empty bowl.

"I can wash myself." Su Youzi also got up.

"It was just a small thing," Ning Zhi said with a smile as she left the room. "Goodnight."

"Good night, Mom."

"Good night."

The next morning.

A beautifully presented breakfast is laid out on the table.

Steaming hot wontons, cheese and vegetable omelets, steamed whole grains, and a fruit platter.

As Xia Lin watched Su Youzi approach, she smiled and said, "These were all made fresh by Zhizhi this morning."

Su Youzi looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, her eyes slightly red.

"It must taste delicious." Her voice was slightly choked with emotion.

Charlene walked over and gently patted her shoulder.

"Eat it quickly before it gets cold."

Su Youzi sat down, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of wontons, and put it in her mouth.

The paper-thin swallow skin wraps around a delicious filling, with a rich broth that leaves a lingering aftertaste.

She ate bite after bite, feeling the warmth from her family.

Finally, Su Youzi picked up the dark, murky bowl of medicine.

The strong bitter taste hit her nasal cavity, and she couldn't help but frown. She had been drinking this medicine for months, and it was still bitter.

"Uh..."

He gulped it down, his features scrunched up, and his little face looked miserable.

Charlene handed him a candied fruit with a pained expression.

"Suppress your bitterness."

Su Youzi took the candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste finally diluted some of the bitterness.

"Xiaoxiao and the driver have arrived," Ningzhi said, glancing out the window.

Xiaoxiao is a newly recruited assistant at Suyouzi Studio. She is particularly diligent and well-behaved.

Su Youzi nodded, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.

Ningzhi handed a bottle of Imperata cylindrica and sugarcane juice to Xiaoxiao.

"Make sure the pomelo drinks plenty of water; the sun here is scorching."

“Okay, Teacher Ning.” Xiaoxiao took the water and answered respectfully.

"I'll bring you lunch," Ning Zhi said to Su Youzi.

"Thank you, Mom." Su Youzi smiled sweetly and looked at them. "Bye-bye."

She waved and followed Xiaoxiao out.

The training camp was held at a film and television base in the suburbs.

Various weapons and equipment were displayed on the spacious training ground.

Su Youzi changed into her training clothes and began practicing with the martial arts instructor.

The martial arts instructor was a middle-aged man in his forties, lean and with sharp eyes.

He demonstrated the movements once, clean and crisp, with a powerful and energetic air.

Su Youzi imitated it earnestly.

Once, twice, ten times...

Her clothes were soaked with sweat.

They repeated the same monotonous actions over and over again.

Strive for perfection.

She practiced a simple kicking motion countless times.

The martial arts instructor nodded in satisfaction only after his legs ached so much he couldn't lift them.

The first day of training has ended.

Su Youzi felt like she couldn't lift her legs and arms.

Her body was covered in bruises, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.

Back to the hotel.

She took a hot bath, which finally relieved some of the aches and pains all over her body.

At dinner time, looking at the steaming food on the table, Su Youzi felt a great appetite.

She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Before bed, the day's fatigue gradually dissipates under the massage therapist's kneading.

Late at night.

Su Youzi snuggled into the soft quilt; after a day of intense training, she felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

He picked up his phone and made a video call to Duan Xingye.

beep - beep -

The video call connected, and Duan Xingye's face appeared on the screen.

"Honey, training must be tiring." He looked at the exhausted person in the video and felt heartbroken.

Su Youzi pouted slightly and said to the screen in a coquettish tone, "I'm so tired, my bones feel like they're falling apart."

The two chatted casually, as the intense training during the day had taken a toll on her energy.

As they talked, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her voice gradually faded.

After mumbling something, his eyelids closed completely.

Duan Xingye stretched out his finger and gently touched Su Youzi's cheek on the screen.

After a long while, he whispered, "Goodnight, my wife."

After saying that, she gently kissed the screen.
