A Date

Early the next morning, before Su You had even had breakfast, his mom kicked him out. He had just reached the ground floor when he saw Tang Yongqing.

She was standing quietly in a white dress, looking cool and ethereal. As soon as she saw Su You come out, she headed straight over, as if she'd been waiting for him.

With the college entrance exams approaching, Lubei District No. 2 High School had already given the senior class a break starting the day before.

"Brother Su You." Tang Yongqing ran over and linked her arm through his, gazing at him with a beaming smile.

Su You stiffened. He hesitated, but ultimately chose not to pull away.

"Uh, why don't we get breakfast first?" Su You said, somewhat awkwardly.

Tang Yongqing looked delighted and quickly replied, "Sure!"

Su You collected himself and suggested, "There's a steamed bun shop on Wenjing Road that's really good. How about we give it a try?"

"Sure, sure!"

Before long, they arrived at Yourong Steamed Bun Shop on Wenjing Road. The place really was popular, and the buns really were delicious. It also had a beautiful owner.

She wasn't very tall, but her figure certainly drew the eye. She was surely a big reason the shop did such brisk business.

At least a gentleman like Su You was more than happy to come here for buns regularly. He had even given her a nickname: the Bun Beauty.

The line in front of the shop wasn't very long, and the two of them soon reached the second spot.

Tang Yongqing glanced at Su You and saw that he was staring intently ahead. She followed his gaze and immediately spotted the owner, whose figure was hard to miss.

"Don't look." Tang Yongqing puffed out her cheeks, seeming a little upset, and raised her left hand to cover Su You's eyes.

Su You's face turned red. He gently lowered Tang Yongqing's hand. "Ahem, don't mess around. It's our turn."

"Hmph!" Tang Yongqing shifted her gaze to the "Bun Beauty." After staring for a moment, she looked down at herself and felt a little discouraged. She tightened her grip on Su You's arm, thinking that she'd have to buy some papaya when she got home.

"Big Sister Bun Beauty, I'd like four baskets of meat buns."

The shop owner burst out laughing and took four baskets of buns from the side. "You little rascal, why do you always call me that? You should call me Big Sister Yourong, got it?"

"Got it, Big Sister Bun Beauty!" Su You paid by scanning the code, picked up the baskets, and led Tang Yongqing, whose cheeks were still puffed up, over to a small table nearby.

Pretending not to notice that she was upset, Su You bent his head and started wolfing down the buns.

"Brother Su You, did you bring me here to eat buns because you wanted to look at the owner?" Tang Yongqing asked sulkily, her lips pursed.

Su You jerked his head up. "Of course not! The buns here really are good. Try one if you don't believe me."

"I'm not eating her buns!" Tang Yongqing huffed, but her expression immediately improved.

Su You deliberately glanced over her and sighed. "How can you get a good figure if you don't eat? Fine, if you won't eat, I'll take care of all of them."

Tang Yongqing gave him a light smack. "Hmph, save some for me!"

When they left after breakfast, with Tang Yongqing beside him, Su You could only turn around and secretly blow the "Bun Beauty" a kiss, much to her annoyance.

After leaving the shop, Su You took Tang Yongqing to the amusement park for the morning. After lunch, the two of them went to Guanglan Residential Quarter.

As soon as they reached the entrance, Su You saw the short, slender old man smiling as he walked over.

"Haha, Su You, you came for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment just yesterday, and today you're moving into our residential quarter? Hmm? Why haven't you brought any belongings?"

Su You smiled as he explained, "My family isn't planning to move in just yet. We'll see about it later."

"Oh, I see. You came to have a look around first, right?"

Su You nodded. The short old man made a call, and soon a young woman in a suit hurried over.

"This is Li. She'll take you to see your villa in a moment."

Su You said politely, "Sister Li, sorry for the trouble."

"No trouble. It's my job," Sister Li replied quickly.

The short old man said with a genial smile, "All right, Li, take Su You and his girlfriend inside."

Tang Yongqing's eyes lit up. She politely thanked the old man. "Thank you, sir."

Su You didn't correct him. After thanking the old man, he followed Sister Li into Guanglan Residential Quarter, heading for his villa, number 234.

As they walked, Sister Li smiled and told Su You and Tang Yongqing about Guanglan Residential Quarter. Before long, the three of them arrived at Villa 234.

The villa had a total area of nearly eight hundred square meters and three floors, as well as a basement, a courtyard, and a rooftop terrace.

The first floor was mostly taken up by the dining room, kitchen, and servants' quarters. The second floor had bedrooms, a reception room, and a martial arts room, while the third floor mainly had a home theater, a sunroom, and a storage room.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! This is my first time inside a detached villa!"

Su You thought about it. Having lived two lives, this was probably his first time inside a detached villa too, unless country villas counted!

After briefly introducing the villa, Su You let Sister Li get back to work. He went up to the roof to take in the scenery around Guanglan Residential Quarter, while Tang Yongqing took plenty of photos of the villa and sent them to Su You's mom.

By the time the two of them left Guanglan Residential Quarter, it was already evening. After dinner, night had fallen. Tang Yongqing linked her arm through Su You's, and the two of them walked into the residential quarter, stepping on their shadows.

Tang Yongqing rested her head on Su You's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Su You, why did today go by so fast? I don't want to go home yet!"

Su You chuckled and pointed at a bench among the trees in the distance. "Then how about we sit over there for a while?"

"Mm."

A little over an hour later, a ringtone suddenly sounded in the woods, followed soon by a woman's voice.

"Dad, we're already at the entrance to the residential quarter. We'll be home in a moment."

"Mm, okay."

"Brother Su You, my dad wants you to take the call."

The voice paused, then a man's voice suddenly came through.

"Uncle Tang, yes, we're at the entrance to the residential quarter. You don't need to come down. I'll bring her home right away."

"Don't worry. You can trust me, can't you? All right, we'll be home soon. Bye, Uncle Tang!"

Soon, Su You led Tang Yongqing out of the woods. Their clothes were a little disheveled, and Tang Yongqing's face was as red as a Red Fuji apple. She looked like a quail, with her head practically buried in the ground.

Su You cleared his throat. "All right, let's straighten ourselves up and hurry back. Uncle Tang might come looking for you again."

"Oh."

They hurriedly tidied themselves up, and Su You soon walked Tang Yongqing to her front door.

Feeling a little guilty, Su You said, "Xiao Qing, let's not see Uncle Tang tonight. I'll head home first!"

"Wait." Tang Yongqing grabbed his arm, then pressed both hands against the sides of his face.

"Smack!" Tang Yongqing planted a hard kiss on Su You's lips. "Now that I've marked you, you're mine."

With that, Tang Yongqing rang the doorbell. Su You froze for a moment, then hurried away from the Tang family's door.
