In the morning, Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, feeling completely refreshed and clear-headed.
With a physique of 160 points that broke through human limits and his "Source Constitution," the hours of crazy tossing and turning last night did not make him feel the slightest bit tired. Instead, it left every cell in his body brimming with lively energy.
He turned his head slightly and looked into his arms.
Lu Yuning was currently curled up tightly in his embrace like a kitten lacking a sense of security. Her delicate and elegant face still bore the blush from last night's madness, a trace of undried tears hung at the corner of her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly with her even breathing.
"What a tormenting little minx." Su Bai looked at her charming sleeping face, and a doting smile curled the corners of his mouth.
He carefully pulled out the arm that Lu Yuning was pressing under her body, his movements extremely gentle, for fear of waking up this exhausted, socially awkward little tailor. Then, he carefully pulled over the beige cotton quilt, securely covering Lu Yuning's smooth, fragrant shoulders that were covered in purple hickeys, settling her comfortably into her deep sleep.
Rolling out of bed, Su Bai casually draped a silk nightrobe over himself, pushed open the door of the studio, and walked toward the first-floor lobby of the clubhouse with lazy steps.
The clubhouse in the early morning was quiet, and the girls were obviously still fast asleep.
Su Bai walked straight to the incredibly stunning, oversized aquarium in the center of the lobby.
This aquarium was personally designed and heavily funded by Su Bai using the "Aquascaping (Master Level)" skill rewarded by the system. It took up an entire wall, measuring ten meters long and nearly three meters high. The water circulation system and thermostatic equipment inside were all top-tier configurations in the world.
The entire aquarium was cleverly divided into two completely different sections.
On the left was a larger viewing tank. It was paved with top-quality pure white sea sand, and rare live coral reefs, personally landscaped by Su Bai, were arranged in a picturesque, staggered manner. Colorful tropical ornamental fish darted through the azure seawater. The lights shone on the water's surface, refracting dreamlike shadows, creating a tremendous visual impact.
The relatively smaller section on the right was the "edible zone" specially designed by Su Bai.
The environment here simulated deep-sea cold waters, with crystal-clear water. The creatures kept inside were all top-quality fresh seafood and premium freshwater fish airlifted through special channels by Liu Chenhu. Things like Australian king crabs, juvenile bluefin tuna, and wild large yellow croakers were considered nothing more than ordinary goods here.
Su Bai stood in front of the edible zone and rubbed his somewhat empty stomach. Although his physical exertion from last night had recovered, his stomach would still get hungry.
"It's early in the morning, I should make something light to eat."
Su Bai's gaze swept around the aquarium and finally locked onto a plump, extremely active, premium wild mandarin fish.
He didn't go to grab the landing net nearby. Instead, he directly opened the glass cover on top of the aquarium, waited for the right moment, and thrust his right hand into the water like lightning.
Splash!
Water splashed everywhere.
Relying on his terrifying, inhuman speed and strength of 160 points, the extremely slippery mandarin fish didn't even have time to react before it was firmly grabbed by the gills by Su Bai's large hand and lifted straight out of the water.
The mandarin fish struggled violently in mid-air, its tail slapping frantically, splashing water all over Su Bai.
Su Bai didn't even furrow his brow. He brought his left fingers together like a knife and casually gave the fish's head a light chop.
Smack!
With a muffled thud, the mandarin fish that had been full of vigor just a moment ago instantly rolled its eyes back and was knocked unconscious by the hidden force, hanging down motionless.
Carrying the knocked-out mandarin fish, Su Bai turned and walked into the clubhouse's open kitchen, which was even more luxurious and spacious than a three-star Michelin restaurant.
The entire set of kitchenware here was custom-made in Germany, and the knives were carbon steel blades hand-forged by master craftsmen.
Su Bai casually pulled out a sharp boning knife, his movements smooth and flowing. Scaling, removing the gills, and gutting the fish—the entire process was completed in one breath in less than a minute.
Immediately after, he displayed incredibly exquisite knife skills. The blade moved quickly over the fish, accompanied by a faint swishing sound, and two thick, snow-white fillets were perfectly removed. Su Bai turned his wrist slightly, tilted the blade, and sliced the fish meat into pieces as thin as cicada wings and nearly transparent.
He started the stove and boiled water.
He placed Wuchang rice into a clay pot to simmer over a slow fire. When the rice grains blossomed and the porridge base became thick and creamy, he threw in the shredded ginger and fish bones to enhance the flavor.
A few minutes later, an extremely enticing, rich aroma mixing the fragrance of rice and the umami of the fish began to permeate the spacious kitchen, slowly drifting upstairs along with the breeze from the central air conditioning.
Su Bai stood in front of the counter, just about to put the sliced fish into the pot, when a very faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
"Smells so good..."
Accompanied by a lazy and charming murmur, a pair of slender, soft arms wrapped around Su Bai's waist from behind, and a warm, soft body pressed tightly against his back.
The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled up slightly. Without needing to turn around, just by smelling that unique, cold yet sweet body fragrance, he knew who had come.
He turned down the stove switch and turned around.
When he clearly saw Chen Yusheng's outfit in front of him, Su Bai's deep eyes instantly lit up, and his breathing involuntarily grew a bit heavier.
Today's Chen Yusheng had simply taken the words "contrast temptation" to the absolute extreme.
Her aloof and stunningly beautiful academic face still carried a bit of the drowsiness and laziness of having just woken up. Her black, silky long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a few playful strands stuck to her fair cheeks, adding a touch of delicate charm.
But the most lethal part was her attire.
On her upper half, she was actually only wearing one of Su Bai's oversized white shirts.
This shirt fit Su Bai perfectly, but on Chen Yusheng, it was ridiculously large. The top three buttons of the collar were undone, revealing a large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin and her exquisite, deep collarbones. The wide hem barely covered the base of her thighs, and with her movements, it faintly revealed breathtaking curves.
And on her lower half was a pair of extremely sheer black pantyhose!
The material of these black silk stockings was incredibly high-end, tightly wrapping around her long, straight, flawless legs. Under the morning light, the black silk threads gave off a mesmerizing matte finish, outlining the perfect muscle contours of her legs down to the finest detail.
The oversized white shirt paired with the tight, seductive black pantyhose created an ultimate visual impact that sent the heat in Su Bai's heart soaring.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Did the smell wake up your appetite?" Su Bai reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, his gaze roaming undisguised over those premium, beautiful legs wrapped in black silk.
Chen Yusheng rubbed her eyes. A trace of grievance and mild resentment flickered in her usually cold eyes as she grumbled playfully, "You have the nerve to say that. You never came back last night, how could I sleep soundly alone in the room? I just smelled the delicious aroma drifting up from downstairs and my stomach started growling, so I had to get up and find you."
Su Bai smiled. His large hand slid down her waist with practiced ease, landing on her long, slender legs tightly wrapped in black pantyhose.
The texture of the stockings was incredibly silky and delicate, feeling just like caressing a piece of fine satin.
"Hungry? My fish fillet congee is almost ready. You can have a couple of bowls later," Su Bai said, while his restless hand stroked upward along her thigh.
However, when Su Bai's fingers slipped into the absolute territory hidden beneath the hem of her shirt, his movements abruptly stiffened, and he froze completely.
There was no barrier!
He had expected to feel the waistband of her pantyhose or the edge of her panties, but the sensation transmitted through his fingertips was the direct touch of Chen Yusheng's warm, soft skin!
Su Bai's eyes widened. In disbelief, he applied a little more pressure with his hand to carefully confirm what he was feeling.
He was right. This pair of black pantyhose, which seemingly completely encased her legs, was actually completely open at the most critical area!
"Shengsheng, these stockings of yours..." Su Bai drew in a sharp breath. His voice instantly turned husky, and his eyes burned with undisguised predatory intent.
Under Su Bai's scorching gaze, Chen Yusheng felt her entire body go soft.
She shyly bit her moist red lips. "This... this is all your fault..."
"My fault?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow. Fighting back the wicked fire rising in his chest, he deliberately leaned close to her ear, his warm breath fanning over her delicate, crystal-clear earlobe. "You run down to the kitchen dressed like this bright and early in the morning to seduce me, and you say it's my fault?"
Chen Yusheng trembled at his teasing, a tingling sensation instantly spreading through her whole body.
She looked up, her watery eyes filled with playful reproach and grievance as she puffed her cheeks and said, "Last night... last night, Senior Jialu said you would come back to the master bedroom after finishing your business at Yuning's studio. That's why I wore these..."
"Who knew you would just stay over at Yuning's place and never come back to the master bedroom! I waited for you in bed for half the night wearing this outfit, and eventually dozed off in a daze. When I woke up hungry this morning, I was too lazy to change, so I just came straight down..."
"So that's how it is. Since last night's surprise wasn't delivered, making up for it now isn't too late."
"Ah! The congee... the congee isn't ready yet..."
