After some playful banter, the two finally got up.

"Sister Zhou Yang hasn't gotten up yet. Should we call her to have breakfast together?" Little Pear asked.

"No need, let her sleep well, let's go to school first," Chu Yang said.

After Xiaolizi finished washing up, Chu Yang and she left the courtyard, had breakfast outside, and went to school.

After dropping Xiaolizi off at school, he left the school to look for a house to buy.

Finally, I found a newly built apartment building near the bar. The environment was good, the transportation was convenient, and there was an elevator. It was a 120-square-meter apartment with basic decoration, and I bought it for 200,000 yuan.

I heard that the homeowner also has another apartment for sale in a nearby community, a fully furnished 150-square-meter unit, but he's selling it because he's in debt.

Without saying a word, Chu Yang bought it for 280,000.

These days, buying a house is equivalent to investing. Whether you wait for demolition compensation or sell it later, you can make money.

The house transfer went very smoothly, and I'm just waiting to get the property certificate in a few days.

Chu Yang then contacted a renovation company to inspect and renovate both houses to ensure they were ready for immediate move-in.

In this way, Zhou Yang and Lou Chunyue will no longer need to rent a house.

This apartment is for Zhou Yang, and the one in the complex is for Lou Chunyue—a perfect arrangement.

That's what responsibility and strength look like; it's something that low-level players like Wang Shuai can't compare to.

After everything was settled, Chu Yang went to the courtyard house, woke Zhou Yang up, and took her to see the new apartment building.

"This set is yours from now on." Chu Yang opened the door and handed her the key.

Looking at the suite, which was much more spacious and newer than where they used to live, Zhou Yang turned around and hugged Chu Yang.

It's not that I can't afford a house, but that I feel his attention and care.

Chu Yang gently stroked her back and said softly, "I asked the other tenants here, and they say there are basically no water or electricity outages. The property management is also good, and the hallways are clean and tidy. Also, don't be too touched yet. I'll make sure you live in a better house and have a better life in the future, okay?"

"That's enough, it's already very good." Zhou Yang smiled gently, and then kissed his lips.

The two lingered in the new house for a while before going downstairs for lunch.

After finishing his meal, Chu Yang returned to school.

There are four classes in the afternoon: two regular classes and two physical education classes.

The physical education class was turned into a basketball game. This was the third game of the group stage. If they won, they would advance to the top 16 in the whole school and play against the main campus team.

Chu Yang didn't play in this match; he sat on the sidelines handing out water and waving towels.

This left many girls who came to see him disappointed.

After the match, Chu Yang saw Su Yan on the sidelines and got up to walk over.

"Why aren't you going on stage? I see a lot of girls came specifically to see you," Su Yan asked with a smile.

"Is Teacher Su here to see me too?" Chu Yang asked back.

Su Yan readily admitted, "Yes, I'd love to see you dunk, you're so cool."

Chu Yang smiled slightly: "The main reason is that I don't want to waste my energy."

It's quite obvious what they're saving their energy for.

Su Yan blushed slightly, her heart fluttering as she recalled the scene in the office yesterday.

"...Won't this interfere with your dates with your other girlfriends?"

"I'd like to meet you here alone today. Where should we go for the shoot first?"

"Cowboy Hill, the scenery there is better. After that, we'll go to my villa to shoot the indoor scenes."

"Okay, let's meet outside the school."

"..."

After making the appointment, Chu Yang went back to his dormitory to change his clothes, grabbed his camera, and drove to the school gate.

Su Yan was already waiting by the roadside.

After stopping to let her get in the car, we drove to the outskirts and came to a hill covered with maple trees.

The hill is shaped like a calf, hence the name Cowboy Hill.

The maple leaves here are much more beautiful than those on the school's tree-lined avenues.

After parking the car, Chu Yang got out with his camera.

"I'll change my clothes first."

Chu Yang nodded and closed the car door.

Then, leaning against the car, I could vaguely see the graceful figure inside through the reflective glass.

After a while, Su Yan came out after changing her clothes.

She wore a white dress, her long hair flowing down her shoulders, and her face was bare.

She looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, which is quite a contrast to her usual aloof and ascetic image.

"Does this look good?" Su Yan twirled in front of him.

Chu Yang looked you over carefully and exclaimed, "I would believe you if you said you were a freshman."

Su Yan was delighted and started jogging through the forest covered with maple leaves.

She wore a beautiful long dress and had a radiant smile.

"I want to take the best photos before the maple leaves fall!"

She grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, flung them into the sky, and then opened her arms, letting the leaves fall on her.

Chu Yang had never seen her like this before; it was as if she had shed her disguise and returned to her original personality.

He followed her with his camera, constantly capturing her most beautiful moments.

"Chu Yang, am I handsome?"

"nice."

"Chu Yang, have I become normal?"

"You've always been normal."

"So, does that mean I've fallen for you?"

"Probably, but can you stand me having other girlfriends?"

"I can't stand it, but it doesn't matter for now. I'm not going to be your wife anyway."

"..."

The woods were quiet, save for the sound of their footsteps, Su Yan's soft laughter, and the clicking of camera shutters.

Before I knew it, I had taken a lot of beautiful photos, with all sorts of expressions and poses.

"I'm tired." Su Yan sat down by a tree, the ground covered with fallen leaves soft and comfortable.

She beckoned and said, "Come here, let me see the photos I just took."

Chu Yang sat down next to her and opened the photo preview.

Su Yan looked at it intently, occasionally smiling, clearly impressed by her own beauty.

"Let me take a few pictures for you too, come on." She took the camera, stood up, and reached out to help him up.

Unexpectedly, she overestimated her strength and was pulled back by Chu Yang, falling into his arms and their lips lightly touching.

Okay, the coincidence and the atmosphere are both there.

Chu Yang embraced her and kissed her lips.

A gust of wind blew, and maple leaves fluttered down from the trees.

This scene, combined with the romantic atmosphere, is just like a kissing scene in an idol drama.

After a long while, Su Yan leaned close to Chu Yang's ear and breathed softly, "No, not here, let's go to my villa."

Chu Yang picked her up and carried her to the roadside, putting her into the car.

Then he stepped on the gas and drove straight to her villa.
