She is 167cm tall, with an oval face, fox eyes, and long dark brown hair that is groomed to be shiny and smooth.

Although she is not tall, she has a perfect golden ratio.

In simple terms, it means: what should be big should be big, and what should be curled should be curled.

Every inch of flesh grows where it should grow.

"Morning, dear." Alice Lee, covered with a soft quilt, opened her charming eyes.

"Morning~" Li Zhenyu sat down on the bed with a cup of coffee and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"

Alice Li stretched lazily and said charmingly, "Yes, very good. This is the best sleep I have had in recent years."

"coffee."

"Thanks."

Alice Lee took the coffee, took a sip and said with emotion: "This is exactly what I need. It can give me energy for the whole day ahead."

"There's more here..." Li Zhenyu handed her his cup as well. Alice Lee smiled and shook her head to refuse.

"This is enough. Drinking too much will make you addicted." Putting down the cup, Alice Lee sat up naturally.

The thin quilt fell along her smooth skin. Alice Lee crossed her hands behind her head and smoothed her hair again.

"I have to go wash up, I have a plane to catch later."

His fingers slid across her elastic skin, and Alice Lee dodged back and forth in fear of being tickled. "Stop it, I'll be late."

She admitted that she had somewhat lost herself under the other person's extremely handsome appearance and found the passion of her youth again.

It's really good to feel like a teenager again.

but……

This intoxicating feeling only lasted last night...

She will not allow herself to become someone's vassal, nor will she depend on anyone.

Alice Lee has given almost everything to become who she is today, so how could she allow herself to go back?

"I told you that you can stay a few more hours and I'll take you there on my plane."

Li Zhenyu had said in the early morning that she could stay here until the afternoon and then leave, and he used his Gulfstream G300 to take her to her destination.

"I also said, no need."

Alice Li turned around and looked at him, stroked his cheek with her fingers and said softly: "I am not your little woman, I don't need your care."

"I understand." Li Zhenyu nodded in understanding.

There was a sound of running water in the bathroom. Li Zhenyu drank up his coffee in gulps and threw the paper cup into the trash can in the corner.

Grabbing the hem of his clothes with his backhand, he strode towards the bathroom where the water was flowing.

"Ah~ Get out, you bastard."

Even an independent woman couldn't escape the fate of being manipulated by others.

Ten years later, Alice Lee's heart was moved again.

The kiss before parting made Li Zhenyu feel the surging emotions hidden in her body.

And he was able to confirm that she really had feelings for him.

Although 'heart-beating sensation' has clear hints, the sense of accomplishment that comes from personal verification cannot be compared to cold numbers.

However, Alice Lee did not bring him any rewards.

Instead, it was T-ara, who was far away in South Korea, that brought him some surprises.

'Legendary group: Let T-ara win all the awards. The more awards and honors they win, the more rewards they will get.'

'T-ara won first place in this year's Seoul Grand Prix, and the reward is being calculated.'

'Rewards: One endorsement from a top local group.'

'PS: Only for T-rara group.'

T-ara's increased popularity = becoming big stars = being able to make more money = making money for themselves + being happy physically and mentally.

Therefore, Li Zhenyu was very satisfied with this reward.

On the way back to the beach, Li Zhenyu saw a Chinese restaurant. There was a steaming steamer in the glass window, filled with tempting steamed buns and siu mai.

Gurgle~ Li Zhenyu's stomach protested, he was hungry.

After parking the car on the side of the road and closing the door, Li Zhenyu walked into the store: "Four big buns, a tray of steamed buns, anything to drink?"

"Yes, fellow countryman. We have spicy soup, soy milk, and tofu pudding."

The woman behind the steamer had a bright smile on her face in the steam.

Unexpectedly, there would be spicy soup and tofu pudding here. Li Zhenyu was overjoyed: "Two bowls of tofu pudding and one bowl of spicy soup."

Sitting at the table with great anticipation, Li Zhenyu was dumbfounded when the waiter brought the food on a tray.

The cold tofu cubes were covered with a marinade made mainly of Lao Gan Ma, and the fresh green coriander increased the appetite.

The spicy and spicy soup is pretty standard and looks no different.

I tried a bite and it wasn't very tasty, but it was definitely Hu La Tang.

I drank the spicy soup in one gulp and ate two big dumplings in the process.

Li Zhenyu put the empty bowl aside and took the tofu pudding...

He took the Lao Gan Ma mixed tofu and scooped a spoonful into his mouth: "Hmm!"

The taste is unexpectedly good, sour and spicy, and the slightly cool tofu cubes are particularly appetizing and stimulate the appetite.

I thought the car was going to fail, but it turned out to be a brand new experience.

After eating until he was about 80% full, Li Zhenyu asked the waiter to pay the bill.

"I'm done. The total is 54.6 yuan."

Leaving behind a Franklin, the clerk was astonished at his generosity: "This is too much, fellow."

"It's not too much to have a breakfast that suits your appetite."

Li Zhenyu stood up and smiled, saying, "It's delicious. I'll come again if I have a chance."

"Okay, I'll come often."

The other party's simplicity made him believe that he had not been in Los Angeles for long.

Otherwise, the conversation that just took place would have unfolded in a different way.

The kindness and enthusiasm that comes from the heart will disappear with the passage of time.

Back in the car, Li Zhenyu started the engine and turned the direction.

The car had barely slid forward two meters when a roller skater boy wearing a hat suddenly rushed out from the left side and lay on the hood.

“Ah~”

With an exaggerated cry of pain, the other party fell to the ground, hugging his knees.

"I was hit, call the police, call the police quickly."

Several young men and women, also equipped, immediately rushed over from across the street, surrounded the injured boy, and glared at Li Zhenyu who stuck his head out of the window.

"This acting is too bad."

Seeing the other party's exaggerated acting skills, Li Zhenyu was too tired to complain.

But he still turned off the car and got out to deal with the matter.

Once the police get involved, he will have to spend at least half of the day in the police station.

The efficiency of the American police...

Anyone who has experienced it knows that it is incredibly slow.

The smaller the matter, the more tedious and time-consuming it is to deal with. Li Zhenyu has no time to waste on such trivial matters.

Normally, there are two simplest ways to deal with the current situation.

One is to throw a few hundred dollars and let them complete the "bumping".

Another option is to find a lawyer and let him handle the issue.

However, Li Zhenyu has another choice.

"Hey, did you see you bumped into someone? And you didn't even say an apology?"

Amid the accusations of the other accomplice, Li Zhenyu squatted beside the 'injured' boy: "Kid, are you sure I hurt you?"

"Of course, your car swerved and hit me, and everyone saw it."

The other party looked at his accomplices around him with confidence. Having someone's support made him bolder.

"Really? Let me see." Li Zhenyu said, putting his hand on the protective gear on his knee.

The next second, the protective gear made a crackling sound.

Crack, crack~ As the people stared in daze, which gradually turned into horror, several obvious cracks appeared on the hard protective gear.

As the fingers closed, the entire edge of the protective gear was deformed...

Snap! Plastic fragments flew past the boy's ears. Li Zhenyu loosened his fingers calmly: "I don't see any injuries. Can you point them out to me?"

"Gudong~"

The boy swallowed his saliva with fear in his eyes and explained in a tone that was about to cry: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I just hit your car accidentally."

Li Zhenyu's expression became more relaxed, with a hint of smile.

Gently patting the other's delicate shoulder, Li Zhenyu said generously: "Since you are an honest and good child, I forgive you."
