"Director Su, this restaurant is wonderful. Especially their braised pork belly—even while I'm on a diet, I can't help wanting to eat it~~"
"Have a taste!"
Inside a certain restaurant, right by the window.
Zhang Tian'ai was smiling as she introduced the restaurant's signature dishes to Su Yu.
It was easy to see how thrilled she was that Su Yu had actually accepted her invitation and showed up.
She had clearly put a lot of effort into her appearance today.
On her upper body, she wore a pristine white blouse with a chic bow tied at the collar, adding a touch of sweet cuteness to her aura;
Down below, she wore a form-fitting hip-hugger skirt.
Beneath the hem of the skirt were black silk stockings;
On her feet, she wore matching black high heels.
Her naturally delicate facial features looked even more stunning and radiant under the application of exquisite makeup.
On her face, the slightly uptight corners of her eyes outlined a charming curve;
Her soft, pink lips were painted with mouth-watering lipstick.
Youthful, vibrant, yet undeniably charming, she had become the focal point of the entire restaurant at this very moment.
Su Yu silently sighed to himself that his taste in people was indeed top-notch.
However, Su Yu was even more captivating.
To describe it simply: sword-like brows and star-like eyes, glowing with handsomeness.
The two of them chatted as they ate, the atmosphere wonderfully harmonious.
None of those cliché dramas happened where random people ran over to deliberately provoke them or forcibly make a scene.
At the dining table, Zhang Tian'ai picked up her wine glass and raised it.
"Director Su, actually, ever since you bravely stepped in to help that day, I've wanted to find a chance to properly thank you..."
Zhang Tian'ai's expression was quite serious. As soon as she finished speaking, she downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.
"Don't mention it, just a small favor, no need to stand on ceremony!"
Su Yu raised his wine glass as well.
Yet his demeanor was not only relaxed, but completely calm.
His quiet confidence came from the 90% favorability rating toward him that the System showed Zhang Tian'ai to have.
Seeing this, a trace of slight disappointment welled up in Zhang Tian'ai's heart.
In the past, every man she met would look at her like a drooling fool.
Yet ever since she met Su Yu, she was starting to lose confidence in her own looks.
After the two chatted casually for a bit more, the conversation steered back onto the right track.
"Tian'ai, do you have any specific plans for your career?"
Su Yu asked very casually, but Zhang Tian'ai was not foolish enough to give a casual reply.
After thinking for a moment, she said with a deadpan, earnest expression:
"Does Director Su have any suggestions? You know, Tian'ai is still a newcomer and doesn't quite understand a lot of things yet!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Yu's face, and he thought to himself: *She's a smart woman.*
Su Yu picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and looking into Zhang Tian'ai's expectant eyes, he said:
"I want you to be the female lead in my next drama. What do you think?"
Su Yu said it so lightly, but to Zhang Tian'ai's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.
The delight in her eyes was impossible to conceal. An opportunity like this felt like a pie falling straight out of the sky.
She hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and downed it in one breath all over again.
"Easy, easy, drink slowly, nobody's going to steal it from you! You really are like a little foodie cat!"
Because the wine had a fair amount of alcohol content, and she drank it much too quickly, Zhang Tian'ai's face instantly flushed bright red.
"No... Tian'ai... Tian'ai is just happy..."
Zhang Tian'ai had relaxed considerably by now, the smile in her eyes growing even warmer.
Seeing this, Su Yu broke into a brilliant smile, and his own heart began to fill with anticipation.
Across from Su Yu, Zhang Tian'ai was thinking: *How can he be this handsome? His smile is so warm, so sunny, so hot, so hot~~~*
At this point, the atmosphere began to grow ambiguous.
Zhang Tian'ai took a deep breath, then looked at Su Yu and said:
"Di... Di... Director Su... can Tian'ai ask you a question?"
Perhaps due to the alcohol, Zhang Tian'ai's courage had grown a lot.
Su Yu gestured for her to ask.
"Di... Director Su, a man as outstanding as you—what type of girls do you like?"
Su Yu put down his wine glass, stared at Zhang Tian'ai's blushing face, and asked with amused interest:
"Then what kind of boys does Tian'ai like?"
Zhang Tian'ai's face turned even redder at this.
"Tian'ai... Tian'ai likes boys like Director Su..."
With that, Zhang Tian'ai gazed steadily at Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, I also like girls like Tian'ai."
Hearing this, Zhang Tian'ai let out a soft murmur.
"Director Su... can you walk Tian'ai back to her hotel?"
Su Yu: "Of course."
At this moment, the System registered Zhang Tian'ai's favorability toward Su Yu reaching 100%.
Shortly after, Su Yu supported the slightly tipsy Zhang Tian'ai and returned to the hotel.
As soon as they walked through the door:
"Di... Director Su, Aiai liked you the very first time she saw you~~"
And then...
When the first ray of morning sunlight shone upon Su Yu's face, Su Yu opened his eyes.
Next to him was Aiai, pretending to be asleep.
Without paying her any mind just yet, Su Yu directed his consciousness toward the System.
[Ding~~]
[Detected that Zhang Tian'ai's favorability toward the host has reached 100%, dropping a skill entry.]
[Entry dropped: (God-Level Singing + Succubus Constitution)]
[God-Level Singing: As the name implies, once the host binds this entry, they will possess god-tier vocal skills. Whether it is singing technique or emotional expression, as long as it relates to vocal skills and knowledge, the host will reach the absolute pinnacle!]
[Succubus Constitution: Once the host binds this entry, they will constantly radiate an arresting, dashing charm. This charm possesses a fatal attraction to women.]
[Bind / Do Not Bind]
Su Yu shifted his thoughts, and bound it.
[Congratulations to the host for successful binding]
After a wave of dizziness passed, Su Yu once again felt that he was terrifyingly powerful.
However...
Now that the entry was bound, he could leave it aside for the moment; after all, there were more important matters to attend to.
Beside him, remembering what happened last night, Zhang Tian'ai's face rapidly flushed crimson.
She felt a mix of shyness, excitement, nervousness, and satisfaction.
Suddenly...
"I'm dead, I'm dead,"
"Last night..."
Right in the middle of it all, a phone ringtone cut through the air.
Su Yu took out his phone with a speechless expression.
The screen displayed the name Yang Mi.
Su Yu adjusted his breathing.
"Hello!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Acting up again, are you?"
"Haha, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
......
Su Yu had no intention whatsoever of hiding anything from Zhang Tian'ai.
Zhang Tian'ai heard it clearly as well—the person on the other end of the line was Yang Mi.
She had anticipated an outcome like this, and she accepted such a reality.
Even so, her heart fluttered nervously.
Su Yu sensed Zhang Tian'ai's emotional shift.
He put down his phone,
"That next drama where you're the female lead just might become the defining masterpiece of your acting career. Do you believe me? Within two years, I can make you a top-tier star!"
A wave of joy bloomed in Zhang Tian'ai's eyes.
"Then... then... will Brother Yu abandon Aiai in the future?"
Su Yu smiled gently.
"Aiai is so endearing, how could I ever abandon you!"
"Aiai..."
Zhang Tian'ai: "Brother Yu..."
