I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

The tech guy kept his head down, not daring to speak.

Director Liu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:

"Fix it! Fix it quickly! Don't miss any crucial parts!"

He paused, then turned to the assistant director and added:

"From now on, guests can only turn off the cameras in their rooms after 11 PM. Special circumstances require my approval!"

The assistant director quickly jotted it down in his notebook.

Director Liu turned around, staring at the closed door on the monitor screen, and muttered to himself:

"In all my years as a director, I never imagined that one day my show would crash its servers because of a guest leaving the room..."

Before Shu Zi could react, Gu Yan pushed her inside the door, her back pressed against the door panel.

She paused slightly, looked up, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the black shirt he was wearing.

It's the one in the photo.

Her neckline was slightly open, revealing her collarbone, and the teeth mark was still faintly visible.

The fabric of his shirt stretched slightly with his movements, outlining his shoulder line and waistline.

It has a nonchalant sexiness.

Shu Zi's gaze lingered on his collar for a moment before she quickly looked away, her ears turning red involuntarily.

Gu Yan looked down at her, taking in her momentary daze, and chuckled softly.

"What are you looking at?"

Shu Zi turned her face away, her voice feigning composure: "...I didn't see anything."

"Didn't you see anything?"

He repeated her words, a playful smile on his face, "Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing."

"Hmm, it's not red." He went along with her, his smile deepening.

Shu Zi was speechless, choked by his attitude. Desperate, she reached out and pushed him, placing her hand on his chest.

"The living room camera was on; you were caught on camera coming in! Get out!"

Gu Yan didn't respond to her words, but looked down at her, his voice lowered: "Nuonuo, I'm so tired today."

Shu Zi paused for a moment, then loosened her grip slightly: "Meetings are tiring too?"

"Um."

Looking at the faint weariness in his eyes, her tone softened unconsciously: "Then what do you want to do?"

He looked at her, his voice carrying a hint of roguishness: "I want to replenish my energy."

Shu Zi was silent for a moment, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest, her voice muffled:

"Is this okay?"

Gu Yan looked down at the fluffy head in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips. He tightened his grip on her arm and gently rested his chin on the top of her head.

"not enough."

She lifted her head from her embrace, her gaze falling on his Adam's apple.

The next second, she tiptoed and gently pressed her foot against it.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

A moment later, she stepped back slightly, looked up at him, a sly glint in her eyes:

"How about this?"

He didn't speak immediately, but looked down at her, his eyes growing deeper.

She looked up, met his gaze, pursed her lips, and then reached out to grab his shirt, pulling it down half an inch.

He tiptoed, tilted his head back, leaned closer, and kissed her.

Since there's no way to escape anyway, rather than waiting for him to come and conquer, I might as well start the fire myself.

Her movements were not very skillful, even a bit awkward and tentative. She first just pressed against him, and then slowly and somewhat clumsily rubbed his lower lip.

Gu Yan was slightly taken aback by her action, then chuckled softly.

Then, he suddenly tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her close to his chest, and lowered his head to deepen the kiss inch by inch.

Turning the tables and taking control.

His tongue pried open her lips and teeth, lingering, deep, and lasting.

After a long time, he slowly released her.

He looked down at the person leaning softly against him, and chuckled softly, his voice carrying a hint of languid contentment:

"Baby, why can't you do it even after so many tries?"

Shu Zi took a breath, looked up at him, her face still flushed, but she refused to admit defeat:

"If the master's teaching is poor, what does it have to do with the disciple?"

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her slightly swollen lips from the kiss, and lowered his voice:

"Shall the master teach me again?"

Shu Zi reached out and pressed against his chest, giving him a gentle push, her voice still slightly breathless:

"No, we should go out. We've been in here too long."

Gu Yan stepped back half a step, not continuing to tease her, but simply reached out and ruffled the top of her head, his tone slightly coaxing:

"I brought you a mango mille-feuille."

Shu Zi looked up at her: "You didn't eat tonight?"

Gu Yan: "I ate it."

She was taken aback: "Didn't you say you hadn't eaten?"

Gu Yan looked down at her, a lingering smile in his eyes: "I just ate it."

"What did you just eat—"

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, realized what she was saying, her face flushed red, and she raised her hand to slap him.

"rogue!"

Gu Yan grasped her wrist, smiled, and took a half-step back: "Let's go, the cake will melt if we don't leave soon."

The two walked out of the master bedroom one after the other and returned to the living room.

Shu Zi sat down on the sofa, and Gu Yan picked up the cake box from the coffee table, untied the ribbon, and opened the lid.

A whole mango crepe lies quietly inside, with layers of golden, plump mango chunks stacked on top of each other. The crepe is thin and chewy, and it looks fantastic.

Shu Zi picked up her fork, scooped out a piece, put it in her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and her eyes lit up immediately.

She glanced down at the logo on the box, her voice filled with surprise:

"It's from this store! Aren't they supposed to have limited stock? Last time I went to buy some, I queued for ages and still couldn't get any!"

She looked up at Gu Yan, her eyes filled with curiosity, "How did you manage to buy it so late?"

Gu Yan casually said, "I bought it."

Shu Zi: "?"

Her fork hovered in mid-air: "What? You bought it?"

Gu Yan looked at her with a smile, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Shu Zi froze for two seconds, then slowly widened her eyes: "...You bought the shop?!"

"Yes, I am now the largest shareholder."

Shu Zi: "..."

She was silent for a moment, looked down at the hard-won cake in her hand, then looked up at him with a complicated expression.

Why didn't she think of that before!

She waited in line for so long for nothing! And in the end, she didn't even get to eat!

Then, for the rest of the time, Shu Zi ate while deeply reflecting on why she hadn't thought of this method.

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, Director Liu was staring at the screen that had finally restored the picture, watching the two of them sitting quietly on the sofa eating cake... To be precise, it was Shu Zi who was eating, and Gu Yan who was watching Shu Zi.

His lips twitched, and he turned to the tech guy and said:

"...Couldn't you have fixed it sooner? Who wants to see this heartwarming scene!"

The tech guy muttered something under his breath:

"It's no use fixing it beforehand, they were just in the room..."

Director Liu glared at him:

"Couldn't you find a way to turn on the room's security cameras too?!"

Tech guy: "?"

If you can do it, then you do it!

...Well, he didn't dare say.
