Footed Tights

To be fair, Yangyang had a really good impression of Chen Yusheng.

She possessed a wonderfully pure and clear aura, deeply scholarly, giving off an air of quiet nobility.

This sense of nobility had absolutely nothing to do with the kind of family she grew up in, how much wealth they had, or how many countries she had visited as a child.

Human progress is fundamentally rooted in the pursuit of science. Even those who disdain studying hold a natural respect for scientists, and Chen Yusheng happened to exude this exact scholarly aura quite strongly.

Because of this, Yangyang found it incredibly hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be if she and Chen Yusheng did that sort of thing with Su Bai together. Just the thought of it was enough to make her blush and her heart race.

Wait, no, before that, there was going to be a tennis session. After all, it was the tennis court Su Bai had bought specifically for her.

Even in Yangyang's social circle, gifting an entire sports arena during the dating phase was an incredibly extravagant and impressive gesture.

At this thought, a sweet smile naturally surfaced on Yangyang's face, and the stolen glances she cast toward Su Bai were overwhelmingly tender.

"How about you head back to your apartment first and come back in your true Yangyang form?" Su Bai suggested softly. He had noticed that Yangyang was finding it harder and harder to keep her composure around him. Given the circumstances, there was no need for her male disguise anymore; in fact, it just looked weird and could easily lead to misunderstandings.

She might as well just wear her classic plain-colored dress.

Su Bai had noticed that both Shengsheng and Yangyang loved wearing long dresses. Perhaps it was a shared preference among tall girls?

Beats me.

Though, the long legs hidden beneath those flowing skirts were undeniably a worldly delight.

Yangyang readily agreed and obediently headed back. She moved incredibly fast, looking as eager as someone rushing home... Which wasn't entirely wrong to say. In her heart, Su Bai had indeed become her brand-new home.

"Big White Goose." Chen Yusheng's expression was a bit subtle.

"What is it?"

"Is there any chance that I'll have absolutely no energy left after playing tennis?"

"And so?" Su Bai chuckled. "How about the two of us play while you watch?"

"..."

"You don't have any foundation in the sport anyway. Yangyang will just teach you a few basic moves. Don't worry, it won't drain too much of your stamina."

Chen Yusheng bit her lower lip and said, "Tonight is a battle to the death, so I need to conserve my energy."

Whoa.

A battle to the death? That sounded absolutely epic.

It seemed that with Yangyang's help, Chen Yusheng was feeling confident again. Though, compared to a certain embarrassing senior, she actually was doing pretty well.

Su Bai pondered for a moment before replying, "Then you conserve your energy. I can even give you a massage to fully stretch your muscles and get you into the optimal state for battle. We'll have a fair and honorable competition... well, a righteous two-on-one."

"Hehe."

Chen Yusheng narrowed her eyes in a silly smile, affectionately rubbing her forehead against Su Bai's shoulder, looking incredibly happy.

She loved messing around with her Big White Goose more than anything.

Since they were preparing for a battle to the death, they naturally couldn't head to the frontlines on an empty stomach. Of course, theoretically, they could elegantly play some tennis first, find a nice place for a lovely dinner, and then finally enter the battle phase.

But that was an itinerary that only existed in theory. Su Bai figured the battle would just break out right there in the tennis arena. After all, wasn't the whole point of buying his own sports facility to unlock a new scene?

When you have multiple beautiful confidantes, you need a rich variety of settings to match.

Therefore, Su Bai decided they should grab something to eat first, even though it wasn't even five in the afternoon yet.

The chosen location was an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant.

"You might not believe me when I say this, but they can actually make fitness meals here."

After saying this to the two girls with a hint of pride, Su Bai opened the menu and started ordering.

The waiter tapped away on a tablet, taking down the order with a rather subtle expression.

It should be noted that this was a place where even the cheapest dining package cost over three hundred yuan per person.

In other words, people who came to dine here were mostly aiming to indulge and enjoy themselves. However, Su Bai wasn't here to savor the culinary delights at all. He had enjoyed plenty of fine dining lately. If he really wanted premium Japanese cuisine, he could have gone to a much more expensive a la carte restaurant, where he might even find some exceptionally rare delicacies...

The core reasoning was that all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurants tend to use very simple seasonings while offering a wide variety of fresh ingredients. As long as you gave the right instructions when ordering, putting together a proper fitness meal was absolutely no problem.

But did anyone really eat a fitness meal that cost over a thousand yuan per person? Wasn't that a bit...

Fortunately, Su Bai was a regular at this establishment. The head chef was quite familiar with him and perfectly understood his intentions without a hitch.

Soon enough, the dishes arrived: a vegetable and tuna salad, lightly seared meat cooked with barely any oil, a clear seafood soup...

At a glance, the ingredients were clearly of high value, and the taste likely wouldn't disappoint. Surprisingly, it perfectly balanced calorie control while remaining ideal as a pre-workout meal.

Su Bai didn't exactly need a fitness meal himself; this was primarily prepared for his two beautiful companions.

After eating and drinking their fill.

They relocated to their next destination.

Before fully entering the arena, they had to turn on the lights and the air conditioning, then wait a little while for the environment to reach a comfortable temperature before getting down to business.

"It feels like we're entering a secret base..." Chen Yusheng muttered.

"Yeah, it kind of does... It's a pity I didn't have many friends when I was little, so things like secret bases never existed for me," Liu Chenyang said with a touch of melancholy.

"It's okay, Shengsheng didn't have any friends either."

"You always have so much to say!"

Chen Yusheng gave him a playful slap, and the two of them started chasing each other around the equipment room near the entrance.

The air was filled with that distinct scent common to indoor sports arenas, mixed with the faint smell of dust.

Soon, this gradually shifted into the crisp scent of air conditioning running at full blast.

Scents play a huge role in setting the mood. For instance, couples on a date always know to wear perfume, and some even go as far as using special pheromone fragrances...

Chen Yusheng didn't really care much for those overly glamorous and intoxicating atmospheres, but this sports arena was undeniably nice. It was true that she wasn't a fan of exercising, but relatively speaking, she much preferred indoor sports to outdoor ones.

Moreover, this was Su Bai's exclusive private space, brimming with an undercurrent of hidden desires. Her sense of anticipation instantly spiked.

"Are you going to wear those stockings to play tennis?" Su Bai suddenly noticed a point of interest.

"Probably not..."

"No, you have to wear them. I feel like they'll look absolutely incredible paired with a tennis skirt."

Su Bai pulled Chen Yusheng over and had her sit down on a bench.

Theoretically, this was the women's locker room, but that didn't matter. In Su Bai's private territory, he had free access to any locker room he pleased.

He grasped Shengsheng's ankle, lifting her slender, perfectly straight leg that looked like a work of art clad in black hosiery.

To be precise, it wasn't exactly sheer black hosiery. Since the weather had been getting cooler lately, Chen Yusheng had been opting for thicker tights more often. The material was on the thicker side, yet it didn't look bulky in the slightest, a feat that demanded exceptionally good natural leg genetics.

Perhaps for ease of movement, or maybe simply for the novelty of trying a different style, Chen Yusheng had chosen to wear stirrup tights today.

The tights extended right down to her ankles, revealing the graceful arches of her feet and her perfectly smooth, pearl-like toes.

"Are you dressing like this because you want to treat me to some ice cream?"

"Hilarious. Big White Goose, you're such a pervert..."
