Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

No. 5 chaotic alley.

Gu Yang led the two women into the narrow alleyway. Every now and then, thugs would cast lewd glances at the two women, their hearts filled with jealousy towards Gu Yang.

What incredible luck this guy has! He's always surrounded by beautiful women.

Gu Yang shot him a glare: "Want to die?"

The other person quickly looked away, not wanting to confront him.

This area has no shortage of thugs, but few can fight like Gu Yang without regard for their lives, so few people dare to provoke him.

Yu Huan had never walked on such a road before. Her heels were chafed painfully by her high heels. She complained, "Gu Yang, what kind of lousy place is this? There's so much trash on the road!"

Gu Yang glanced at her helplessly, knowing that the environment here was indeed too harsh for someone as pampered as her.

"Your driver shouldn't have gone far. Shall I call him and ask him to turn around and come back to pick you up?"

He was carrying two large bags and couldn't help her.

"That won't do." Yu Huan refused outright, enduring the discomfort in her feet as she continued walking forward.

Normally, she would have asked Gu Yang to carry her, but not now.

"Miss Yu, your heels are all rubbed raw. Maybe you shouldn't go any further. My rented place is a bit out of the way, and it'll be quite a walk to get there."

Su Wan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at her heels and offered her advice with concern.

"I'm fine." Yu Huan knew without a doubt that her heels were scraped, but she put on a cool and aloof attitude and continued walking forward.

Today is the day Su Wan is discharged from the hospital. She asked Gu Yang to help her move her luggage, and Yu Huan came along too.

Actually, she had already regretted it, but Su Wan's injury was also related to her, so she insisted on taking Su Wan home with Gu Yang out of spite.

Gu Yang put his things down and said in a low voice, "Wait here for a while, I'm going to buy something."

Yu Huan raised her long neck, nodded proudly, and stood up straight.

"Miss Yu, would you like to sit on my luggage and rest for a while?" Su Wan smiled gently at her and invited her.

"No need." Yu Huan's tone was a little stiff. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your injury is also related to me. You can tell me what you want, whether it's money, a car, or a house."

Su Wan chuckled softly, her voice as clear as a silver bell. She looked up at Yu Huan and asked, "Miss Yu is so generous. Is it really possible to do anything?"

Yu Huan was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized something and her expression changed. "Gu Yang is not allowed, he is mine."

With a woman's sixth sense, she felt that Su Wan seemed to have feelings for Gu Yang, but Gu Yang was the acting partner she had worked so hard to find, and she couldn't let him go to someone else.

Just then, Gu Yang walked over from a distance carrying something. Su Wan's smile faded slightly, and she said, "Of course I didn't mean that. My wish is to enter the entertainment industry and act. If Miss Yu can help me make connections, Su Wan would be extremely grateful."

"Sure," Yu Huan readily agreed.

This request was extremely simple for her, and there was no reason for her not to fulfill it.

When Gu Yang got closer, Yu Huan could see clearly what he was holding in his hand.

It was a pair of pink cloth shoes, embroidered with various floral and bird patterns.

She frowned in disgust and said, "Gu Yang, you're not going to make me wear this ugly thing, are you?"

Gu Yang handed the bottled water in his hand to Su Wan, then looked at her and said, "This is the only kind we have."

"Thank you." Su Wan thanked Gu Yang politely. Seeing him nod, she smiled slightly and gently advised Yu Huan, "Miss Yu, these shoes aren't actually that ugly. If you want to continue with us, your high heels won't do."

"Gu Yang, why didn't you remind me to change my shoes? It's all your fault!" Yu Huan glanced at Su Wan's sneakers and became conflicted.

Wear them, these shoes are just too ugly, so ugly that she suspected that Gu Yang deliberately picked out the ugliest pair to get back at her.

If she didn't wear them, her heels would rub so badly that it was unbearable, and she didn't want to go home.

"You'll listen to me if I remind you?" Before she could even think it over, Gu Yang impatiently squatted down at her feet and started to take off her shoes.

"I won't wear it!" Yu Huan arched her back in resistance, her whole body showing her defiance.

"If you're not going to wear them, we're leaving. You can wait for the driver to pick you up." Gu Yang said coldly, and with a forceful movement, he helped her put on her shoes.

"Gu Yang, you've got some nerve?!"

Yu Huan glared at him angrily, then looked down at her hideously ugly shoes and walked on her own, fuming.

Gu Yang ignored her princess syndrome, picked up a piece of luggage in each hand, and continued walking.

Su Wan looked at him with concern and said, "Brother Gu Yang, I'll suggest one myself. You've been working too hard."

As she spoke, she reached out to take one, but Gu Yang dodged her, saying in a calm voice, "No need, I can do it."

Su Wan reluctantly withdrew her hand and followed behind him.

[System, please check his preferences.]

The system quickly provided an answer. Su Wan took two steps forward and walked alongside him, asking casually, "Brother Gu Yang, I heard that the security in the No. 5 alley is quite bad. Is that true?"

Gu Yang nodded: "It's true. This place is a mixed bag. If you live alone, you might consider moving to another place."

"It's okay, I was just asking. After all, I can't afford the rent in other places either. As long as I don't cause trouble, no one should bother me."

Su Wan's voice lowered.

Gu Yang paused slightly and said in a low voice, "I also live in Lane 5. You can contact me if you have any difficulties."

"Okay!"

Su Wan smiled happily, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Gu Yang is too hard to win over. She suffered such a serious injury for him, but her favorability rating only increased a little. She can't even be considered a friend yet.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Do you know if there's a used bicycle market nearby? My rented apartment is quite far from the bus stop, and I'm planning to buy a bicycle for commuting."

Gu Yang thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, I have some materials that can assemble one for you."

Su Wan's eyes lit up with excitement: "Really? That's wonderful!"

"Gu Yang, what are you dawdling about for!"

Yu Huan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back and looked at him with displeasure.

"I'm sorry, it's because my luggage was too heavy, Brother Gu..." Su Wan looked at Gu Yang somewhat apologetically.

Gu Yang shook his head at her and silently quickened his pace.

For some reason, seeing the two exchanging glances, Yu Huan felt a surge of anger. She stepped to Gu Yang's side and separated the two.

For a moment, the three of them fell silent, until Su Wan took out her key and opened a rusty iron door.

The room was cramped and had a musty smell.

Su Wan warmly invited the two of them to come inside and sit down, but Yu Huan didn't move an inch, her disdain undisguised.

Gu Yang carried his luggage to the center of the living room and placed it there before leaving.

"Brother Gu Yang, why don't you stay for dinner before you leave? I'm a pretty good cook." Su Wan looked at him expectantly.

"Need not."

Gu Yang refused under Yu Huan's urging gaze, and his long legs took only a few steps before he went out the door.

Outside, Yu Huan was wearing flat cloth shoes that didn't suit her temperament, and she was much shorter than usual, but her gaze was still imposing.

She gestured with her chin towards Gu Yang: "Carry me back, and you can choose any male supporting role in Director Xu's new drama."
