Su Yang usually cooked very seriously for others.
But when it came to cooking for himself, he was very casual. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to take a look.
There were plenty of ingredients inside, but he didn't know what to eat.
He casually took out a few large frozen oysters, then cooked a simple bowl of plain noodles, plus two filet mignons. That settled his dinner.
Just as he finished making dinner and brought it to the coffee table in the living room, the front gate of the villa slowly opened.
Pan Ning drove her Lamborghini Urus, which hadn't been seen for a long time, into the villa.
At night, the lights in the front and back yards of the entire villa were on. As soon as Pan Ning entered, Su Yang saw her through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.
When Pan Ning got out of the car, Su Yang's eyes lit up. He saw that Pan Ning's previously black, shoulder-length short hair was now dyed dark brown.
It also looked like it had been permed, slightly wavy. Under the courtyard lights, combined with Pan Ning's own unique temperament, her whole face looked aloof but mixed with a slight, hazy sense of vulnerability.
Su Yang put down his bowl and chopsticks and waved at her from inside the house.
Pan Ning was wearing a tight-fitting white crop top, a pair of sexy denim hot pants, and khaki boots. She looked incredibly cool.
She didn't look at the waving Su Yang. She turned and walked toward the front door, casually pressing the car lock button on the way.
When the Lamborghini's lights flashed, Pan Ning was just stylishly striding with her perfect long legs.
This scene left Su Yang dumbfounded. He stood in the house with his mouth open and muttered, "So cool~ This vibe would absolutely mesmerize those young tomboys."
As he was speaking, with a click, the villa door opened. Pan Ning walked in and changed into her exclusive slippers at the entryway.
Then she walked quickly toward Su Yang.
"Wow, your outfit today is so cool~"
Pan Ning rolled her eyes at Su Yang and looked around. "Where's my coffee?"
"Damn, I forgot to make it. Give me two minutes, I'll make it for you right now."
"Forget it, you eat first," Pan Ning said, grabbing Su Yang.
"That works too. I eat fast. I'll make it for you when I'm done." Su Yang smiled and pulled Pan Ning to sit down together.
Then he picked up his bowl and started scarfing it down.
Pan Ning crossed her legs and looked at her phone on the side.
Su Yang asked while eating, "What did you guys eat today?"
"Just normal home-cooked food~"
"Made by Old Meng's mom?"
"Yeah~"
"Was it good?"
"About the same as what my mom makes, neither delicious nor bad," Pan Ning said lightly.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Hehe, by the way, let me interview you. You're going home with me for dinner tomorrow. How are you feeling right now?"
Pan Ning glanced at Su Yang and said, "Very calm."
"Not even a little bit nervous or excited?"
"Slightly excited, but not nervous."
"Your mindset is pretty good. When I went to your parents' house, I was so nervous."
"What do I have to be nervous about? We're not doing anything, just having a meal and chatting~"
"True."
"By the way, what did you go to Lincheng to do?" Pan Ning asked.
Su Yang briefly recounted what he did in Lincheng over the past two days. Of course, he didn't mention the incident with Tao Shu.
He mainly talked about the two sisters, Li Muhan and Little Wan. He slightly altered the severity of Little Wan's illness, but otherwise, there were almost no discrepancies.
After listening, Pan Ning nodded. "They are the two sisters we met on Yulong Snow Mountain before, right?"
"Yes, they're quite pitiful. Anyway, it wasn't a difficult thing for me, so I just helped them out in passing~"
"Alright then. Are you done eating?"
"Almost, just two more bites of steak."
Soon, Su Yang finished dinner. After taking the dishes into the kitchen, he went behind the bar to make a cup of coffee for Pan Ning.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two took a shower and changed into comfortable pajamas. Then Su Yang turned off all the living room lights and cuddled up affectionately with Pan Ning on the sofa to watch a movie.
A touching romance movie soon ended.
As soon as it ended, Su Yang picked up the remote and turned off the TV, plunging the entire living room into pitch darkness.
By this time, the lights in the courtyard had also gone out.
Before Su Yang could make a move, Pan Ning turned over, straddled his lap, held his cheeks with both hands, and leaned down to kiss him.
......
A beautiful night quickly passed.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Su Yang was woken up by his phone ringing.
He groggily reached over, grabbed his phone, and answered, "Hello, who is it? It's so early in the morning, can't you let a person sleep?"
"Who do you think I am?" Chen Liping's voice came through the phone.
Hearing the voice, Su Yang instantly woke up. He brought the phone to his eyes, looked at it, and immediately put on a smiling face. "Oh, it's my dear mom."
"You little brat, what time is it and you're still sleeping? Hurry up and get out of bed."
"Oh mom, last night's battl..." Just as Su Yang was about to say the word 'battle,' Pan Ning, who was beside him, immediately reached out to cover his mouth and glared at him.
However, even if Pan Ning hadn't stopped him, he had already caught himself. He moved Pan Ning's hand away and smiled. "Well, I stayed up late playing games last night. Let me sleep for another hour, okay~"
"You really do sleep a lot. Fine, I'm just reminding you to remember today's big event. Come back early, hear me?"
"I know, I know. I'll be there at noon."
"Alright then, I'm heading out. Bye."
The phone hung up, and Pan Ning beside him rolled her eyes at Su Yang. "Why do you just blurt out everything?"
"I'm still half asleep." Su Yang scratched his head and smiled. "Let's sleep a little longer." Saying that, he pulled Pan Ning into his arms and went back to sleep.
An hour later, the two slowly got out of bed.
Pan Ning took a shower in the room, and Su Yang ran to the adjacent room with a bathroom to wash up.
After a quick shower and washing up, Su Yang walked to the mirror, blow-dried his hair into a handsome style, and then returned to the room to change clothes.
At this time, Pan Ning was applying makeup in the master bedroom's walk-in closet. Su Yang walked over, looked at her, and smiled. "This is the first time I've seen you put on makeup so seriously~"
"I'm always like this."
"Really? Before, you would just casually draw your eyebrows and apply some lipstick, and that was it. Today you're actually putting on foundation and eyeliner."
"Mind your own business, go do what you need to do~"
"Hehe, alright, take your time." Su Yang smiled and turned to the wardrobe on the other side.
He opened the wardrobe and randomly picked out a dark gray T-shirt and a pair of off-white shorts.
The temperature outside was quite high today, so wearing shorts would be more refreshing.
He quickly changed his clothes, put on his watch, and the beaded bracelet Pan Ning had bought for him in the ancient town before. He had actually been wearing this thing all along.
While putting on the bracelet, he suddenly saw a pile of men's pendant necklaces and bracelets he had bought while shopping before, as well as a pair of couple rings he had bought for himself and Pan Ning.
He took a chain and hung it around his neck, then took out the rings, walked to the walk-in closet, looked at Pan Ning, and smiled. "Pan, do you know what this is?"
While applying makeup, Pan Ning turned her head, glanced at the two rings in Su Yang's hand, and said, "Put the small one down."
"You know what this is?"
"I'm not blind, they're couple rings, what else could they be?"
"Hehe, as long as you know. I bought them especially for us. Here, I'll put yours right here. Remember to put it on after you finish your makeup."
"Got it, go do your thing."
"Alrighty." Su Yang smiled and slipped his ring onto his left middle finger.
However, it felt a bit uncomfortable. He had never worn anything like this growing up, so suddenly wearing a ring felt rather odd.
But it was just a decorative accessory, and he figured he would get used to it eventually. He turned around, left the room, and went downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Half an hour later, two nutritious breakfasts were ready.
By this time, Pan Ning had also changed her clothes and came downstairs.
Su Yang looked up, and his eyes instantly widened.
Pan Ning was no longer wearing the cool, edgy outfit from yesterday. Instead, she was wearing a blue and white waist-cinching dress that she had never worn before.
The top half of the dress was white, featuring a lace collar accented with a light blue bow at the chest, while the bottom half was a blue knee-length skirt.
She was also wearing a pair of bow earrings, giving off an overall cute, Korean-style gentle vibe.
This was a style she would normally never even attempt.
But with her stunning looks and great figure, she looked good in absolutely anything. The only slight mismatch was her rarely-smiling face, which didn't quite suit this sweet, lady-like aesthetic.
"Holy crap?? You, you, you... this isn't your style at all~"
"What is my style?" Pan Ning asked in return.
"You're supposed to be that badass, unconventional goddess from last night~ I'm just a bit shocked to see you suddenly wearing such a sweet dress."
Pan Ning rolled her eyes at Su Yang. "How could I dress so casually when I'm going to your house?"
"What does it matter? You look great even in a simple pair of jeans."
"But then again, it's nice to see you switch up your style once in a while."
"Then why did you say anything?"
"It's mainly because I've never seen you wear this kind of sweet, lady-like dress before, so I was just a little surprised~"
"Are you implying that I'm not a lady?"
"You are, you're the most perfect lady in my heart~"
