Villa Anecdotes

After a delicious lunch, Yuan Yuan formally presented the tea of apprenticeship. After Su You drank it, He Wenyuan became the first disciple he had ever taken.

As for talent or anything of the sort, he didn't really care. In his own words: I never look at whether a disciple has talent, because none of them have talent as good as mine (my cheat)!

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Su You didn't immediately have Yuan Yuan start martial arts training. Instead, he said he needed to prepare and that they would officially begin tomorrow.

After helping He Yourong clean up, the two sat together on the living room sofa. Su You took out the envelope Wang Xingle had left behind, opened it, and found a check for five million Huaxia Currency inside.

Su You glanced at it, then handed it to He Yourong, who was sitting nearby, and teased, "That guy Wang Xingle said this is an apology to you, his sister-in-law."

He Yourong spat at Su You, took it, and after one look, exclaimed, "Five million?"

Su You nodded. He Yourong asked with some concern, "The two of them only caused a little trouble, is it appropriate for us to ask for five million?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing inappropriate about it."

He Yourong handed the check back and said, "They only gave it because of you, you should keep it!"

Su You smiled and said, "What's mine is yours, isn't it all the same? You go ahead and deposit the money; we'll use it for Yuan Yuan's martial arts training in a while."

He Yourong felt a surge of joy in her heart and finally nodded in agreement.

After leaving He Yourong's home, Su You arrived at the nearby Jinjiang Garden residential complex. This neighborhood was only about a kilometer away from He Yourong's house and was the most high-end complex in the vicinity.

Su You naturally came here to buy a house, and he intended to buy a villa directly. If he wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house, he had to prepare the golden house first. In this era, a detached villa could truly be considered a golden house.

Of course, He Yourong certainly wouldn't be willing to move in at first, but Su You had already thought of a strategy.

As soon as Su You walked into the Jinjiang Garden sales office, a salesperson greeted him with quite good service.

Su You thought with some disappointment, Damn it, you guys aren't following the script. Shouldn't you look down on me first and then get your faces slapped by me in a frenzy?

Pushing aside the stray thoughts in his mind, Su You directly took out his martial artist ID and flashed it in front of the salesperson, then said, "I'm here to look at villas. Just call your manager over."

In his past life on Earth, looking at villas usually required proof of funds, and this was even more true in this era of base cities where every inch of land was worth gold, which was why Su You took out his martial artist ID.

Soon, the manager of Jinjiang Garden rushed over to host him personally, efficiently producing floor plans, discount rates, and various offers.

In the era of base cities, the price of land was extremely precious. Ordinary commercial housing cost anywhere from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand Huaxia Currency per square meter.

As for stacked villas and townhouses, the price per square meter was at least several hundred thousand Huaxia Currency, while detached villas cost at least over a million Huaxia Currency per square meter, plus a huge luxury tax.

Most of the houses in Jinjiang Garden were stacked villas and townhouses; detached villas were relatively rare, and there were only six left at the moment.

Su You had the sales manager take him around the complex and visited the six villas along the way, eventually selecting a 340-square-meter, two-story detached villa.

This villa was designed specifically for martial artists and was move-in ready, which was an important reason why Su You took a liking to it.

As for the price of the villa, it was 360 million Huaxia Currency, with an additional luxury tax of 120 million to be paid later—about one-third of the total price of the house—which was completely within Su You's budget.

After returning to the sales hall, Su You had the finance manager take his ID to process the paperwork.

Before long, the finance manager returned with a stack of contracts and documents, explaining the terms while asking Su You to sign.

Su You took a brief look and, finding no major issues, signed them directly. Large developments consisting entirely of villas in such neighborhoods generally wouldn't harm the interests of the buyer, especially when the buyer was a martial artist.

After signing the contract and paying for the house, Su You received the property deed in less than two hours. Afterward, he immediately purchased a "3D Virtual Holographic Projection" system on the Extreme Home site; although it was half-price, it still cost four million Huaxia Currency.

This equipment would be his trump card to get He Yourong to agree to live here. His reasoning would be that after returning to the training camp, he could only teach Yuan Yuan via the internet, and he would only have time in the evenings, so having her live here would be a logical step.

Starting from the next day, Su You began training Yuan Yuan in this villa. He Yourong would also come over almost every day, and as Su You expected, when he mentioned having He Yourong move in, she refused quite decisively.

However, their relationship grew increasingly intimate. Whenever Yuan Yuan wasn't around, He Yourong wouldn't resist Su You's wandering hands.

As for his home, Su You would return every night, explaining to his mother that he was out practicing martial arts, and his mother had no suspicions at all.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last. On January 28th, Kyoto University went on break, and after Tang Yongqing returned to Tianjin City, Su You's movements became less free. He could only sneak out every day or two, and he didn't always have the chance to get intimate with He Yourong.

However, fortunately, he had already given He Yourong the key to the villa, so Yuan Yuan's daily training wasn't delayed, though he visited to provide guidance much less often.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 27th. Kyoto University had already started classes on February 24th, so he had been living in the villa at Jinjiang Garden for the past two days.

At night, on the second floor of Villa 003, a petite figure was earnestly practicing basic fist techniques in the martial arts hall.

In the media room on the second floor, Su You and He Yourong were watching a recently released romance movie together, though Su You's mind was clearly no longer on the film, and a rogue hand had already slipped into her collar.

Although He Yourong's face was bright red, she still pretended to be focused on the movie.

Su You glanced at her, reached both hands through her arms, and with a slight exertion, pulled her into his embrace.

He Yourong could no longer keep up the act and pressed against Su You's chest, wanting to get up and leave.

"Sister Yourong, don't move." Su You patted her gently with his hand.

He Yourong shivered and stopped moving, but she said, "Xiao You, Yuan Yuan is still outside. Don't be like this, what if she sees us?"

Su You laughed while caressing her, saying, "If she sees us, she sees us. Doesn't the word 'Master' contain the word 'Father' in it anyway!"

He Yourong was a bit embarrassed and annoyed, frowning, "Don't talk nonsense, or I... I won't come over anymore."

"Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense. Sister Yourong, let me tell you about something serious." Su You said quickly.

"Hmph!" He Yourong struggled a bit, but couldn't break free at all, so she complained gloomily, "Who talks about serious business like you do?"

Su You chuckled, his hands not stopping for a second, while he leaned into He Yourong's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing what Su You had to say, He Yourong shook her head vigorously: "I'm not moving."

"Yuan Yuan has to come over every day for martial arts practice; wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to run back and forth?"

"Then I'll rent a practice hall for her in the residential complex."

"The practice halls outside don't have holographic projections, and relying solely on video calls would make the quality of instruction much worse."

He Yourong was clearly hesitant, so Su You pressed his advantage and continued:

"Good sister, just think of it as doing me a favor. Such a big house with no one living in it—if I don't come back until next year, it probably won't even be livable anymore. It cost hundreds of millions, aren't you worried about that?"

"But..." He Yourong had just opened her mouth, but Su You cut her off immediately.
