When Su Yun slowly woke up, she was greeted by a scene of utter chaos. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her gaze slowly moving until it finally settled on the mess. By then, her cheeks were as radiant and beautiful as the crimson clouds at dusk.

Just then, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a hint of laziness and doting affection, and said softly, "Su Su, you're finally awake?"

However, Su Yun felt incredibly embarrassed, as if a million ants were crawling on her heart. So, she closed her eyes tightly and stubbornly muttered, "I'm not awake yet, this must just be a dream." Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, trying to escape the reality before her.

Seeing Su Yun's childish behavior, Mu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. He thought to himself, this little girl is just so adorably naive. But he couldn't resist teasing her aloud, "Oh dear, how come there's someone here? Not only are you groping me in the middle of the night, but you haven't even had time to pull up your pants yet, and you're already turning your back on me?" As he spoke, he deliberately put on a pitiful look and coughed a few times.

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Su Yun's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple. She suddenly opened her eyes, glared fiercely at Mu Chen, and retorted coquettishly, "Hmph, alright, alright, stop pretending to be innocent after getting the benefit!" After saying that, she rolled her eyes angrily.

Upon hearing Su Yun's reply, Mu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. He nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with a doting smile, and said, "Alright, alright, you're right! Okay then, I'm going to prepare a delicious breakfast now, darling, what would you like to eat?" As he spoke, Mu Chen looked at Su Yun with tenderness and concern in his eyes.

Su Yun gently shook her head and replied with a smile, "I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky about food."

After receiving the reply, Mu Chen turned and headed to the kitchen. When he excitedly opened the refrigerator to find ingredients for breakfast, he was surprised to find there was nothing ready to eat. However, several bottles of wine lay there quietly. Seeing the wine, Mu Chen was slightly taken aback, wondering to himself: When exactly did she start liking to drink? Is it really true, as people often say, that time can easily change a person's preferences? Thinking this, Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh softly.

As Mu Chen stood in front of the refrigerator, lost in thought, he suddenly noticed an electric scooter parked in the yard. Without hesitation, he decided to hop on and go buy breakfast. On the way, Mu Chen's mind kept replaying Su Yun's adorable image and her favorite foods. He clearly remembered that Su Yun loved steamed buns and also had a particular fondness for fruit porridge. So, he went straight to a highly-rated snack shop near his home and carefully selected steaming hot steamed buns and sweet fruit porridge. Not only that, the thoughtful Mu Chen also bought all the ingredients he needed to make braised beef noodles for lunch.

When Mu Chen returned home carrying bags of groceries, he immediately saw Su Yun already up, sitting leisurely in the yard, engrossed in a book. Sunlight bathed her, as if draping her in a golden veil, making her exceptionally beautiful. Seeing this, Mu Chen quickly went into the yard, placed the groceries on the ground, and then swiftly brought out a simple folding table from the house, carefully setting it in front of Su Yun. He then laid out the breakfast he had bought, warmly inviting Su Yun to come and eat.

Su Yun put down her book and slowly walked to the table to sit down. She first smelled the enticing aroma of the steamed buns, then picked up her chopsticks, took one, and chewed it slowly. With just one bite, Su Yun's eyes lit up; she was clearly very satisfied with the taste. Next, she scooped up a spoonful of fruit porridge and put it in her mouth, savoring its sweet and smooth texture, a happy smile spreading across her face. Thus, Su Yun enjoyed her delicious breakfast while chatting happily with Mu Chen, filling the entire courtyard with a warm and joyful atmosphere. Before long, the table full of food was completely devoured by Su Yun, not a single bite left.

Around noon, sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow. Mu Chen, wearing an apron, stood in front of the stove and called out to the room, "We're having beef noodles for lunch! I've already bought all the ingredients. You can rest now while I marinate the beef." With that, he skillfully took fresh beef from the basket and began to carefully prepare it.

Upon hearing this, a soft reply came from inside the room: "Okay."

Just then, Chi Zao, who was resting by the window, inadvertently noticed that the vermilion door of Fuyao Residence was wide open, and she could even hear people talking inside. Driven by curiosity, Chi Zao tiptoed and cautiously walked towards Fuyao Residence, looking just like a petty thief.

Having finally sneaked into the courtyard, Chi Zao hid behind a large tree, cautiously peeking out to observe the activity inside. She saw Mu Chen and Su Yun busily chatting and laughing, the atmosphere exceptionally harmonious. Seeing this, Chi Zao couldn't help but smile, then lowered her voice and teased, "Oh my, it's only been a few days, and you two are already so familiar? Look at how perfectly in sync you are, you're practically a loving couple, like a husband and wife working in perfect harmony!"

"How dare you say that to me? Last time you promised to come back and be with me, but what happened? You only stayed for a day or two before disappearing without a trace!" Su Yun glared at the other person angrily, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, her face full of dissatisfaction and questioning.

Seeing Su Yun's gloomy face, which seemed to drip with water, Chi Zao's heart skipped a beat. She knew something was wrong and quickly stepped forward with a forced smile, carefully apologizing, "Oh dear, my good Su Yun, please don't be angry! It's not good for your health if you get angry~ Come, come, calm down first, and let me explain to you slowly and carefully." As she spoke, she gently tugged at Su Yun's sleeve, as if afraid he would suddenly turn and leave.

Immediately afterward, Chi Zao launched into a long, rapid-fire monologue, her words flowing like beans from a bamboo tube. She gestured wildly and vividly, recounting the entire incident in meticulous detail, leaving no stone unturned. From the initial cause to the subsequent developments and the final outcome, every detail was described with remarkable vividness and detail. After listening to Chi Zao's account, Su Yun, who had been feigning anger, suddenly burst into laughter, tears welling in her eyes. Pointing at Chi Zao, she laughed and said, "Hahahaha, Miss Chi, I never imagined you'd be in such a sorry state!"
