"This is the last one, how about it?" The nurse in a dress style uniform proudly twirled around,

"Ah... great."

I am numb, I am exhausted from all the aesthetics. In these two hours, I have watched a fashion show. The early part was quite exciting, but towards the end, as everyone can see, I got tired of it.

It's beautiful, no doubt about that, but it's just too much. My eyes are tired, I need a break, I really need a break.

"What's wrong? Don't you think Miss Xie looks good in cosplay?"

"It's not that, she looks great."

"Then why do you have such a dull expression?"

"Do I?"

Xie Yuning stared at me for a moment. Is she trying to find something wrong with me from my eyes? Just as I was about to ask what's the matter,

she gave up.

"Miss Xie is tired, let's change back to her original clothes."

She closed the curtain herself, and I heard the sound of clothes dropping on the floor. Hmm... it's really tempting for a young man's physical and mental health.

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything," I silently prayed.

"What are you doing?"

"Me?"

I don't know when Xie Yuning changed her clothes and appeared in front of me. Apart from scaring me, I was utterly confused.

"Are you fantasizing?"

"Fantasizing?"

"Look at how unusual your blushing face is."

"Really? Do I?"

"Daring to fantasize about Miss Xie's body," Xie Yuning held her chest with both hands.

"I think you have misunderstood something," I took a step forward.

"I didn't expect that you would take advantage of the opportunity to get close to me. You seem honest, but you're actually a pervert."

"No, it's a huge misunderstanding."

"You just had a creepy expression,"

"I didn't? Although you're very beautiful, I don't have any inappropriate thoughts about you."

"Don't think that saying that will make Miss Xie believe you. You're using the excuse of giving me the pendant, but actually coveting Miss Xie's beauty."

"Absolutely... absolutely not the case."

"Watch as Miss Xie teaches you, the big pervert, a lesson today."

I tried to explain, but Xie Yuning wouldn't listen to me. She even rushed at me. Is she going to use some martial arts technique on me?

I instinctively assumed a defensive posture, but somehow Xie Yuning slipped and was about to fall. Seeing the situation, I immediately embraced her waist,

"Xie Yuning, I really don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

For a moment, Xie Yuning and I locked eyes. But then she realized how she was held, and she became kind of dazed. Then her face instantly turned red like a boiled octopus,

"What... what... what... what... what... what did you do to me?" Xie Yuning stuttered.

"Ah... sorry," I realized my rudeness and quickly withdrew my hand.

"Fool! Miss Xie hasn't even stabilized yet."

"No... sorry about that."

I had no choice but to help her steady herself again.

"Hmph!"

"Earlier was an emergency situation. Are you alright?"

"Miss Xie is fine!" Xie Yuning turned her head to the side.

It seems like she hates me now. I also found it headache-inducing.

"Um..." The atmosphere was a little awkward, so I couldn't help but speak up.

"Miss Xie is angry now and doesn't want to talk to you."

This young lady is really difficult to serve. Suddenly, I really wanted to go home.

"Miss, Master is back," a servant suddenly said from outside the door.

"Daddy is back?" Xie Yuning's face lit up.

"Yes, Miss."

"I'm going down now," she said, then opened the door and left, completely ignoring my existence. To be honest, I only came to return the pendant I found to its owner, and now that the task is complete, I should go home.

Following the path I came up, I went downstairs to prepare to go home.

"You're Xu Youjie, right?"

Someone asked me, and I instinctively turned around to see a handsome man with blond hair.

"Ah..." I was a little surprised because it was my first time seeing him.

"I... I am Xu Youjie," out of courtesy, I replied.

"I heard that you found my daughter's pendant. I'm really grateful. It was given to her by her mother and is very precious."

"Is...is that so? Just a small favor."

"Just now, Ning'er told me a lot about you."

"Just now!? Only now..."

"To thank you, please give me face and have a meal with me."

"Ah..." Since it was put this way, I couldn't refuse.

After about an hour of torment, the dishes finally arrived.

"Steak?" It was western food, and I watched as they skillfully cut the steak into pieces. I was like a wooden doll, not knowing how to do it.

"Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?" Xie Yuning asked.

"No..." Clumsily, I tried to cut it, but it felt like it was too soft and couldn't be cut. I was so embarrassed.

"Like this." Xie Yuning started to teach me without my consent. Anyway, she was very skilled and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

"Ah~" She fed it to me.

"I'll be back on my own."

"Be a good boy and eat it!" She forcefully stuffed it into my mouth.

"How is it? Is it good?" Xie Yuning asked with a smile.

"It's...it's okay."

I felt a bit embarrassed, really embarrassed.

"I'll go to the restroom, Daddy."

"Okay."

Xie Yuning left the table and went to the restroom, leaving only me and Xie Yuning's father.

"I apologize for the poor hospitality."

"No...there's no need."

Xie Yuning's father smiled slightly, and I felt a bit at a loss.

"What do you think of my daughter, Ning'er?"

"She's pretty good."

"Do you have any thoughts?"

"Thoughts?!"

Xie Yuning's father smiled: "Let's get straight to the point. I want you to be my son-in-law."

"Huh!?"

"Don't want to?"

"Ah...this, um..."

"I know it's a bit sudden, but my Ning'er is my treasure. She was immersed in the pain of her mother's death before, and only recently did I see her smile again. And recently, she's been saying that she met a very silly person, which must be you."

"I...am I really silly?"

"I didn't mean that. I'm not saying you're silly. Since Ning'er feels happy with you, as her father, I must make her happy. I owe her so much."

"Uncle, I..."

"Ning'er is not lacking in looks or knowledge. Is there something about her that you're not satisfied with?"

Xie Yuning's father looked a bit serious.

"She's pretty good," except for being a bit spoiled.

"Then what are you hesitating for? You can start dating first, and when the time is right, we can arrange for your marriage. My wish will be fulfilled."

"Uncle, um..."

"Daddy, what are you talking about?"

"Ning'er, Daddy allows you to date him."

"What, I don't want to date him, Missy."

"Look, your face is all red. You can't fool Daddy."

"You're so cunning!"

Xie Yuning's father burst into laughter, while Xie Yuning pouted and occasionally glanced at me.

I couldn't explain everything, and now...my head hurts.

"Jie, you're back." Zhiye suddenly appeared in front of me.

"I...I'm back."

"You're back so late. Where did you go?"

"Ah...nowhere. What are you doing, Zhiye?"

"Oh...I'm preparing to catch a mouse."

"A mouse? Where...where is the mouse?"

"Isn't it right in front of us?"

"In front of us?!" For a moment, I felt like I couldn't breathe. What was going on? It felt like everything in front of me was spinning. Was it an illusion?
