The second phase of the Dream Technology Park has begun construction. In a secluded spot on the newly purchased land, Su Yi specifically designated a section for private purchase. Here, a villa will be built, separated from the rest of the technology park by an artificial river and lush vegetation, serving as Su Yi's future residence.

However, it will take at least another six months before Su Yi can move in. In the meantime, he plans to find a suitable house to live in with An Jing.

School is about to start, and Anjing has left Dream International to prepare for the new semester. This busy summer has left a deep impression on her; she experienced the fulfillment and busyness of work for the first time, all of which are extremely meaningful to her.

Now, Su Yi finally has time to be alone with An Jing, although there are only two days left.

Su Yi walked out of the bathroom and saw An Jing drying her hair while browsing the web. "What are you looking at?" He walked up to the girl, approached her hairline, and smelled the scent of shampoo on her hair.

“Look, this is that ‘Angels Love to Sing’ event that I heard people talking about at the company recently. It seems to be modeled after ‘American Idol’ and is a talent show.” Anjing turned around, gave Su Yi a light kiss on the lips, and pointed to the screen of T20, saying, “Look, the auditions have already started. There are five competition areas across the country, and Beijing is one of them. The top three from each competition area will go to Changsha to participate in the finals.”

Su Yi held An Jing's soft body in his arms and laughed, "Xiao Jing, you don't want to participate too, do you? Hehe, girls are all very interested in things that can make them stars, right?"

"I just think it's really fun. You know, being eliminated from such ordinary girls and finally standing on stage singing and dancing with so many people supporting you, that's a pretty good thing." Thinking of something, Anjing said to Su Yi with disdain, "You didn't even know about this event before, did you?" Seeing Su Yi nod, she looked defeated and scolded, "How can you be a chairman? Your Lechang Network is the online partner of this event, and you didn't know anything about it."

"Sigh, there are people handling these specific matters. I can't possibly manage everything. What I'm most concerned about right now is where my little Jing is staying tonight." While saying this, Su Yi wasn't entirely unaware of the event. Although he'd only heard about it once at the company, his memory wouldn't be forgotten. However, he wasn't particularly interested in such events, and since there were dedicated personnel handling the collaboration, he didn't need to concern himself with too much. But seeing Jing's reaction was quite interesting.

"You're so annoying." Anjing blushed instantly at the mention of this, even though they had tried everything except the final layer multiple times. "I was talking about something serious, and you..." Seeing Anjing's coquettish outburst, Su Yi cut her off, silencing her with a kiss—his own mouth, of course, his tongue expertly conquering and capturing her tongue before she could react...

As Anjing pushed him away, gasping for breath, Su Yi watched her hurriedly tidy her slightly disheveled clothes, secretly pleased with his own lung capacity. Seeing Su Yi about to lean in again, Anjing quickly jumped back, rolling her eyes at him, but deliberately spoke in a coquettish tone, "Honey, I'm hungry..." Her alluring voice, coupled with the lingering blush on her face, made Su Yi feel as if he were about to transform into a wolf again...

"Yi, here you go, I'm going to get rid of my skin..."

Su Yi took the potato An Jing handed him. It was bumpy and uneven, as if some animal had gnawed on it… Well, at least it was still intact, he consoled himself. He began wielding the cleaver. An Jing momentarily forgot about the scallion she was washing, letting the water flow freely, while she stared blankly at Su Yi's perfectly fluid knife skills. With each stroke of the cleaver, potato shreds of uniform thickness, like strands of hair, were left behind. This smooth, effortless process was utterly enjoyable to watch.

Feeling the quiet, admiring gaze, Su Yi felt a little smug. After the modifications, his control over his movements allowed him to now strike a pose like a master chef in a movie, giving those who didn't know the truth a small shock. This master-level feeling was really great.

"Hurry up, are the scallions ready?" Su Yi continued to boss An Jing around with a rather boastful air. Ah, the pathetic pride of men…

"This shredded potato dish looks simple, but it's not easy to stir-fry it well. The most important things are the heat and the seasoning. You have to remember when to add the seasonings. When the oil is hot, add the chili first, then the chopped green onions. When the aroma comes out, add the shredded potatoes. At this point, turn the heat down and stir-fry constantly to ensure the shredded potatoes are heated evenly..."

Watching Anjing quietly carrying her plate, nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Su Yi wasn't sure how much she was actually listening. He took the plate from Anjing, poured the stir-fried vegetables out of the pan, and continued, "When you stir-fry vegetables, the key is color, aroma, and flavor. The shredded potatoes should look like this: ivory yellow, emerald green onions, and bright red chili peppers—it should look appetizing..."

Anjing held the plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, listened to Su Yi's words, and smelled the enticing aroma. She couldn't help but swallow, and said in a sweet voice, "I know, anyway, with you around, I've completely given up on cooking. Make some shredded pork with garlic sauce, that's my favorite. And oh, is the rice almost ready? I can see it's steaming..."

Sigh, did I overdo it?

"It's still early, the rice cooker will turn off by itself." Looking at An Jing's expectant gaze towards the food, Su Yi chuckled inwardly. The little girl really was hungry...

Sure enough, during the meal, she ate quietly, trying her best to appear elegant. However, the rapidly moving chopsticks and the quickly disappearing food on her plate betrayed her suppressed appetite. Nevertheless, this performance gave Su Yi a sense of satisfaction. To win a woman's heart, you must first win her stomach… well, that's how he comforted himself.

"I'll do it, I'll do it..." After dinner, Anjing took the initiative to clear the table and then wash the dishes. Su Yi watched the girl doing these things diligently, and thought that this kind of family life was quite enviable.

“Husband…” Hearing An Jing’s “affectionate” call, Su Yi looked at her. They were having dinner and were about to go for a walk. The evening was not as sweltering as during the day, and there was a slightly cool breeze, which was quite comfortable.

"There's an elimination round for 'Angels Love to Sing' tonight, you'll watch it with me later." Sure enough, that was the request following her strong call. Although Su Yi wasn't interested in any of these things, since his girlfriend had asked, watching together wouldn't hurt. Now, with her newfound love, Anjing had gained a lot of the liveliness and charm unique to women, which Su Yi found quite pleasant. Some scenes might seem cheesy on TV, but experiencing them in person was quite enjoyable.

But just as he was about to nod in agreement, he heard someone call out his name: "Su Yi".
