I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 571 Take Me Home (4600)

Upon entering the kitchen, Fang Yu snapped his fingers, and the still-burning fruitwood charcoal in the hot pot instantly cooled and decomposed, turning into fine charcoal powder. This powder automatically coalesced into a black ball less than ten centimeters in diameter, which rolled out of the firebox.

Fang Yu was pondering whether to use some arcane trick to clean the hot pot as well when he heard Chen Xiaoyun's footsteps.

Oh my, isn't that the one with the big white hair?

Fang Yu still has a deep impression of that glance from earlier, and immediately realized that this was a cynical, manipulative woman.

Fang Yu already had some impression of Chen Xiaoyun. A few months ago, when Youzi watched the movie "Little Farewell," he also took a peek. This woman played a stepmother in it.

Judging from the way she interacts with her stepson in the TV series, if we push the timeline forward five or six years, we can imagine seven or eight high-quality comics.

Her face looked a bit swollen in the TV series, probably because she had just had cosmetic surgery and hadn't fully recovered before joining the production.

Fun fact: For major facial contouring surgeries, such as zygomatic arch reduction, mandibular angle reduction, forehead and temple reshaping, and rhinoplasty, the recovery period usually takes more than a year, and some people even take almost two years to look completely natural.

Even for a minor procedure like double eyelid surgery, which is said to have a one-week recovery period, most people still look slightly swollen after six months.

Especially those exaggerated, large, European-style double eyelids, nine times out of ten they weren't intentionally cut like that.

It's a temporary effect in the first few months after surgery, and it will gradually be absorbed after six months, eventually returning to the double eyelid style chosen before the surgery.

That TV series must have been filmed last year; her face looks much more natural now than it did back then.

This townhouse has a floor area of ​​just over 300 square meters. Although the kitchen is longer than that of a typical house and can lead directly to the backyard, it is relatively narrow. The passageway outside the cabinets can only accommodate one person at a time.

Chen Xiaoyun, carrying a stack of plates, squeezed next to Fang Yu and deliberately rubbed against him a couple of times.

That's all? Your skill level is a bit low.
Fang Yu pretended not to know and looked down at Chen Xiaoyun.

"Oh, I'm sorry, the kitchen is too small. Excuse me, could you move aside so I can put my plates down?"

Chen Xiaoyun's eyes sparkled, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"Give it to me, I'm washing the pot right now, I'll wash it with you."

Fang Yu calmly accepted the stack of plates.

Chen Xiaoyun smiled shyly: "I'll do it. Washing and cleaning isn't something you boys should do."

As Fang Yu took the plate, Chen Xiaoyun's fingers seemed to casually brush against his knuckles, pausing for a moment before withdrawing, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Haha, although I don't know what this handsome young man's background is, he looks to be in his early twenties, maybe he just graduated.

Someone so young who can be relied upon by Liu Feifei and Da Mimi must be relying on her family, not herself.

These pampered young masters from good families are the easiest to deal with. I know exactly what kind of girls they like.

The difficulty with this kind of guy isn't getting him into your life, but marrying him.

Wealthy families may not care how much their offspring philander outside the home, but when it comes to marriage, they must obey their family's wishes.

They would conduct detailed background checks on their offspring's potential partners, which might fool the rich kids, but not their families.

But I don't want to marry him; what I want are resources! Resources!
Next, he'll definitely be eager to wash the dishes with me, which will increase the opportunities for physical contact.

Just as Chen Xiaoyun was feeling smug, she caught a glimpse of Fang Yu grinning and making way for her.

"Okay, come on then."

After saying that, Fang Yu whistled and walked out.

? ? ? ? ? ?
Chen Xiaoyun stared with her mouth agape, looking completely bewildered.

Why is it different from what I expected?
I've been observing him for so long while we were eating hot pot, that shouldn't be happening.

When Fang Yu saw Chen Xiaoyun toasting Liu Feifei, he understood the woman's intentions from the look in her eyes.

However, her skill level is a bit low. She's not even as good as Jiang Nanzhen, let alone Shen Shuyao.

Washing dishes? This place has a full set of Gaggenau kitchen appliances, including a dishwasher. Do you really need to wash dishes?

It's a bit too deliberate; the tea isn't smooth enough.

Well, no wonder. She's not actually a "green tea" type; you'd have to add "fake" after "green tea."

Green tea and green tea may look very similar on the surface, but they are actually completely different.

Green tea has a pure and harmless appearance and a gentle demeanor.

On the surface, they appear innocent and naive, but in reality, they are adept at using a low profile, a sense of vulnerability, and ambiguous signals to gain favor or resources from the opposite sex. Essentially, it is a way to increase their social efficiency.

Make others comfortable, and you'll make yourself comfortable too.

Green tea is generally considered to be quite insightful and intelligent.

In addition to being more deliberately performative, "green tea" types often exploit others' feelings or resources, have a strong sense of self-interest and scheming, and generally enjoy harming others for their own benefit. They are thorough egoists disguised as "green tea" types.

If we were to make an analogy, Zhen Huan in her early days was like a green tea b*tch, while An Lingrong was like a green tea b*tch on the surface.

Shen Shuyao is a green tea bitch, and Zhou Siqiao is the green tea bitch's face.

Green tea is a healthy beverage, but the product described as having a green tea flavor is actually a prohibited item in e-cigarettes.

They taste similar, but their effects are completely different.

Most men should avoid getting involved with "green tea bitches" (a derogatory term for women who flirt with men who are overly scheming or manipulative). Doing so can result in financial loss or even complete ruin and disgrace.

Fang Yu is clearly not an ordinary man.

From childhood to adulthood, Fang Yu has encountered too many of these green tea-like characters; she can stand up and kick without feeling any pain.

Seeing Fang Yu whistling as he walked out, Chen Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment before she immediately realized what was happening and said coquettishly.

"Hey, I'm washing the dishes for you, it's not really appropriate for you to just leave like this, is it?"

Let's not worry about what happened yet, let's keep him calm first.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Fang Yu asked innocently.

"At least stay here and talk to me, okay?" Chen Xiaoyun bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

"Is it really just a chat?" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, his expression wary and his eyes cautious.

? ? ? ? ?

What is this expression?
That expression looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

I remembered!

I had the same expression on my face when those greedy, money-grubbing men invited me to their homes!

It's absolutely upside down! It's the complete reversal of heaven and earth!
I'm a woman, and you're a woman!?
Do you think you're some kind of hot commodity that every woman wants a bite of?
Chen Xiaoyun was momentarily confused, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Fang Yu's tall figure.

He had shoulders almost twice his own width, thick upper arms that you could feel even through his shirt, broad and hard chest muscles, a straight waistline, and the lines from his shoulders and neck to his arms were like they had been carved with a knife.

Especially the waist; the waistline cinched by the shirt is very sharp, and the perfect posture indicates extremely strong core strength.

With this kind of waist, the attack speed is definitely over 10.00/s.

Chen Xiaoyun swallowed imperceptibly.

Uh... it does smell pretty good. Even without this resource background, it's definitely my kind of food.

But that expression of yours is just wrong!

Bottom man!
While Chen Xiaoyun was furious, she suddenly noticed a hint of mischief flash in Fang Yu's eyes.

Then look at the other person's posture with their arms crossed...

This man...

Chen Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and immediately realized that she had misjudged the situation!
The other party is definitely not an innocent young man.

Instead, he's a sea king whose skill level is definitely no lower than yours!

"If you don't want to chat, are you brave enough to do something else?"

Chen Xiaoyun turned on the tap, the water gushing out. She turned around, placed her hands on the control panel behind her, crossed her legs, and raised her eyes, her gaze alluring.

After finishing, he glanced out of the kitchen.

But it was clearly not a look of fear that Yang Mi would find out; it was a provocative look.

Oh, so you're giving up already? You're too easy to back down, aren't you?

However, this woman is quite bold, even bolder than Da Baobei.

And it's wild enough.

Fang Yu gave a sly smile, gave her a knowing look, adjusted his shirt collar with one finger, and leaned forward, making it look like he was completely enveloping Chen Xiaoyun from behind.

"Instead of asking whether you dare, you should ask whether you want to."

The kitchen was narrow, and the distance between the two was already less than half a meter. After Fang Yu adjusted his posture, it was less than twenty centimeters, and he could even feel the other person's warm breath. For most men, making this expression and gesture would be very greasy and would give women the feeling of "forcing it."

The main difference lies in the sense of belief.

Most people who try to look cool are just putting on an act of strength; they have no real conviction whatsoever.

A sense of conviction can influence movement, eye contact, and even breathing rhythm.

An experienced woman can tell at a glance that he's putting on a brave face.

The true Aquaman Sigma men are beings with an extremely strong sense of conviction; they are not pretending to be strong, but genuinely strong.

Fang Yu is truly assertive.

Chen Xiaoyun gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, raised her right leg, and lightly rubbed it against Fang Yu's thigh.

Fang Yu didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed Chen Xiaoyun's leg.

Her calves, clad in coffee-colored stockings, were perfectly straight, with almost no bend. The lines of her legs were smooth and natural, neither too soft nor too hard to the touch, and her tendons were slender. Clearly, in addition to having naturally good legs, she also exercised very scientifically.

Chen Xiaoyun's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of confident smugness: "So, do you want to?"

"I don't want to." Fang Yu's smile faded, and he decisively and without hesitation released Chen Xiaoyun's right calf.

It's as natural as putting down your chopsticks after you've finished eating.

!!!

Chen Xiaoyun's pupils dilated slightly, revealing an incredulous look.

Is he really not interested in himself?
How can it be?

She is a woman who knows her body very well. She knew from the beginning that, apart from her face, her whole body was the best of the best among women.

After getting facial surgery, the face also looks like that.

In this respect, she felt that she was better than Da Mimi Liu Feifei.

What do they have?

So what if she has a bit more of the aura of a top-tier celebrity?

Even if she's clearly just playing around, no man can truly remain completely unmoved by her.

If a high-ranking official refuses, it's because they feel there are potential problems and restrain themselves from using the fishing net, not because they genuinely don't want to.

Unless they lack the ability or are deeply closeted.

But now, she could see from Fang Yu's eyes that he was truly not interested.

Could it be that this guy is giving it to someone?

No, that's impossible. His gaze wasn't meant to be given.

"Why?" Chen Xiaoyun blurted out, her fingertips tracing across her chest. "If Liu Feifei and Da Mimi can do it, I can do it even better."

"And you can rest assured, I never pester anyone. I only need a little bit of resources, just a little bit..."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyun parted her lips slightly and drew circles on Fang Yu's chest with her finger: "Or do you think my body is not attractive?"

Fang Yu shrugged and shook his head, saying, "It's not that problem, it's your face."

"My face?" Chen Xiaoyun was taken aback at first, then said sullenly, "I did have some minor adjustments. These days, what woman in the industry doesn't have minor adjustments? At least I definitely did less than Yang Mi."

Fang Yu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "As long as the movements are good and natural, I don't care if my face is affected."

Chen Xiaoyun's competitive spirit was piqued, and she pressed for details: "Why is that?"

Fang Yu's eyes were strange: "You really want to know?"

Chen Xiaoyun raised her chin, her eyes defiant and indignant: "Of course! I refuse to believe I'm worse than them!"

Fang Yu clicked his tongue, slowly leaned over, and whispered in her ear.

The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Chen Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. A tingling sensation ran through her body, and she subconsciously held her breath. Her fair earlobe and slender neck instantly turned red.

"The main problem is that you move too much like Lu Han. I'm afraid that when I fire you, it will look like I'm firing Lu Han, hahaha."

After saying that, Fang Yu waved to Chen Xiaoyun with a mischievous grin, then turned and left.

! ! ! ! ! !
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Chen Xiaoyun felt her blood boil. Looking at Fang Yu's nonchalant back, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

That's so incredibly insulting!
Looking back at the stack of plates and the cloisonné copper pot covered in grease, Chen Xiaoyun felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.

Hearing the faint sounds of people coming from a dozen meters away, Chen Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, found a pair of rubber gloves on the cupboard, wrung out hot water, squeezed out dish soap, and began washing the dishes and pots.

A bet's a bet. Since the deal fell through, not even washing the dishes might offend Yang Mi.

I'll hold back, I'll ask Old Wang later what this guy's background is.

Chen Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and cursed Fang Yu from head to toe eighteen times in her mind as she washed.

The humiliation we suffer today will be repaid tenfold!
Anyone who has ever washed a hot pot knows how difficult it is to clean. It took Chen Xiaoyun more than half an hour to clean all the plates and the entire hot pot.

During this time, she kept hearing faint farewell sounds from the living room outside. By the time she finished washing up, there was almost no sound outside.

During this time, apart from Xiao Zhang coming into the kitchen once to get cleaning wipes and kitchen paper, no one else came in, making her feel like a cleaning lady.

Chen Xiaoyun was so angry that her bear ached.

After taking a full half minute to adjust her expression in the kitchen, Chen Xiaoyun finally came out.

Only Da Mimi, her assistant Tingting, and Repa remained in the living room.

Da Mimi was half-lying on the sofa reading a magazine, while Repa was listlessly slumped over the desk, lost in thought.

"Honey, I've put all the plates back for you, and I've washed the pots too. If they're not in the right place, I'll just ask the cleaning lady to adjust them later."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyun glanced around seemingly casually: "They've all gone back? They didn't even wait for me, really."

He left too? Does that mean he and Yang Mi aren't in that kind of relationship?
Did I misjudge someone's feelings just now? Is he just an ordinary young heartthrob signed by Yang Mi?

Impossible! I'm an expert in this field; I couldn't possibly be wrong!
Da Mimi leaned back on the sofa, flipping through a fashion magazine, and said casually, "You must be tired. You live in 23A, right? It's a bit far from here. Be careful. Do you need someone to give you a ride? You won't get lost, will you?"

Chen Xiaoyun smiled sweetly: "No need, Sister Mi, we're all in the same neighborhood, you won't get lost. You should get some rest too, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyun found her coat in the entryway cabinet, waved to Da Mimi and Repa, and turned to leave.

As soon as she turned around, Chen Xiaoyun's face darkened.

You don't even look at me? Who do you think you are? What are you trying to prove?

Just wait, I'll rise to power sooner or later!
As soon as Chen Xiaoyun opened the door, she heard Da Mimi's lazy voice behind her: "Taking the wrong way is a small matter, but going to the wrong house and getting into the wrong bed is not so good, don't you think?"

Chen Xiaoyun's expression froze for a second or two before she turned around, looking completely innocent: "Sister Mi's words are so profound, I don't understand what she means."

What I mean is—there are some people you shouldn't be thinking about.

Da Mimi looked up from the magazine, raised her head, and looked at Chen Xiaoyun with a playful expression and icy gaze: "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, understand?"

Chen Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat.

Does Yang Mi know?

Did he tell his girlfriend?
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place." Da Mimi lowered her eyelids slightly. "I'll give you four words: Take care of yourself."
-
"Have you hugged enough? Can we walk now?"

On the driveway of Yunqi Yuejing, a G500 with its headlights on and engine running was parked on the side of the road.

Liu Feifei, who was in the passenger seat, was holding Fang Yu, her face and neck were red.

After everyone else had left, Liu Feifei suddenly and solemnly told Da Mimi that she wanted to spend some time alone with Fang Yu today.

Normally, Da Mi Mi and Re Pa would certainly be unwilling, and might even say something sarcastic on the spot.

But Da Mimi knows Liu Feifei too well, and she felt that Liu Feifei was acting strangely today.

Although Repa was reluctant to part with them, as a nobody, she could only watch helplessly as Fang Yu and Liu Feifei left together.

Anyway, I'll be staying in Haixi for five days, so I'll have plenty of opportunities.

Repa kept comforting herself.

"Hold me a little longer."

Liu Feifei closed her eyes, her face pressed against Fang Yu's chest, her breathing shallow and rapid.

"I want to go to your place, take me home."

Liu Feifei gently pressed her lips to Fang Yu's neck, soft and warm.
