Liu Bo and Zhang Ziming stood with their mouths agape in perfect "O" shapes.
Liu Bo in particular wore the most exaggerated expression, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
The four men looked over the scene before them: Luo Yu wore a strapless pale yellow bikini that somehow defied gravity without slipping off.
Liu Wenxin sported an adorable one-piece swimsuit with bear prints and cutout designs, complete with pink cat ears on her head.
The bear's large eyes happened to be positioned right over two strategic areas, creating a strikingly three-dimensional effect.
Li Yutong wore black-framed glasses with a matching black bikini.
Though both wore black bikinis, the two women exuded completely different vibes—both of which Su Yang thoroughly appreciated.
After all, children make choices; adults take everything and enjoy it all.
The backyard pulsed with deafening DJ beats as harsh sunlight glittered across the pool's surface.
The four men busied themselves around the grill while the women splashed in the water or swayed to the music on the pool deck, beers in hand.
The atmosphere felt like an aquatic EDM festival.
Su Yang flipped skewers on the grill, occasionally glancing up at the dazzling scenery ahead.
[Ding! Host is clearly enjoying himself. Reward: 2 million.]
Su Yang suddenly remembered something and queried his system mentally:
—Hey System, show me Xinxiya's full profile.
[Xinxiya, Age: 22]
[Height: 171cm]
[Weight: 59kg]
[Appearance: 89]
[Figure: 95]
[Relationships: 1, currently single]
[Favorability: 20]
—Absolute top-tier!
Su Yang couldn't help remarking internally, then focused on the favorability meter.
—Huh? It's already gone up 10 points just from this?
—Nice, nice. Too bad the setting isn't ideal for moves tonight, otherwise I'd definitely seal the deal.
—By the way System, could you simplify the relationship history display? Like "unopened" vs. "opened"? Your current format isn't very intuitive.
[Host may explore this independently]
Su Yang: "......"
As he pondered, Xinxiya approached with a beer.
"Can I call you Yangyang?" she asked with a radiant smile.
Su Yang blinked, then grinned. "Sure, call me whatever you like."
"Then Yangyang it is. It makes you sound so sweet."
'Sweet? Heh. Give me a chance and I'll show you savage.'
"Haha, what's up? Hungry?"
"Not really, just wanted to chat." Yaya made no attempt to hide her interest.
"Yuyu said you're visiting from Haicheng, right?"
"Yeah, all of us are from Haicheng," Su Yang replied while tending the grill.
"I'm heading there soon to visit friends—might even stay long-term."
Yaya maintained unbroken eye contact, her gaze practically weaving silk between them.
"Haicheng's great—mild winters, cool summers. Perfect for living. Hit me up when you arrive; I'll treat you to dinner." Su Yang flashed a charming smile.
Yaya locked onto his eyes. "Promise? I won't hold back then."
"Why would you? We're friends now, aren't we?"
"Mhm!" She tilted her head back for a swig of beer.
"You live in Lucheng year-round?" Su Yang changed subjects.
"Just visiting. The others live here, but I'm based in Shanghai."
"Ah, the big city. Prime real estate."
"Nothing special. But if you ever visit, look me up."
"Absolutely."
Their small talk continued until Liu Bo couldn't resist interrupting.
"You can hang with me in Haicheng too! I'm a local—know the place better than Yang here."
Yaya turned, offered Liu Bo a polite smile, and walked away.
Liu Bo scowled at Su Yang. "The hell? She dissing me?"
"Probably not. Seems friendly enough."
"Then why'd she brush me off?"
"Uh... hey, Liu Bo—any of the five new girls catch your eye?" Su Yang nudged closer.
Liu Bo pondered. "What if I like them all?"
Su Yang sighed. "If you had to pick one girlfriend?"
"Obviously Yaya! But damn, that chick's got attitude—straight up ignored me."
"Then move on. Why waste time on someone who doesn't get you?"
Liu Bo blinked. "Damn. You're good at pep talks."
"What about the other four? Any takers? We'll wingman for you." Su Yang glanced at Meng Wenzhou grilling nearby.
"Right, Lao Meng?"
"Huh?" Meng Wenzhou looked up from his skewers.
"I said, any singles among your friends?" Su Yang clarified.
Seeing Su Yang's sincerity, Liu Bo eagerly followed as Zhang Ziming also abandoned his tasks to join.
"What now? You into someone else? Though honestly, all of them were eye-fucking you earlier—you barely need to try." Meng Wenzhou paused mid-sentence.
"Wait no—stick with my cousin. These girls aren't your type. Just enjoy the view."
Su Yang rolled his eyes. "When did I say I wanted them? I'm asking if any are single so we can help Liu Bo out. Golden opportunity, right?"
"Oh, Liu Bo's thing?" Meng Wenzhou tilted his head. "Pretty sure they're all single. Liu Bo, who's your pick?"
"I pick everyone," Liu Bo beamed.
"Fuck." Meng Wenzhou burst out laughing.
"Seriously though, who'd you actually date?"
"Not really looking to date. Just wanna fire an Italian cannon. Relationships? Even dogs won't touch that shit."
"Yeah, even dogs wo—" Zhang Ziming began echoing before remembering he was the group's only taken man.
He scratched his forehead. "Well... it's not all bad. You're not getting younger—having a girlfriend's nice."
Liu Bo smacked his own head. "Shit, forgot you're taken. Pretend I said nothing."
"Real talk—any girl here actually interest you? This chance won't come twice."
Liu Bo thought seriously for a moment: "If I had the chance, I’d really like that cute girl—what’s her name again—Liu Wenxin."
"Oh, so you’re into the kawaii type, huh?"
“Heh, she’s adorable. That kind of contrast is irresistible, right? Who wouldn’t like her? You guys don’t?”
"Yeah, yeah, we do."
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king.
