After Wan Bao Zhai announced its temporary closure for the holidays.
Zhang Suqin was sunbathing alone at home, with a facial mask on, lying on a chair.
A gentle breeze blew, making her long skirt sway.
Su Yang gently placed down the gift box and reached out to cover Zhang Suqin's eyes.
"Su Yang, is that you?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"Only you and I have keys, who else could it be?"
Zhang Suqin batted his hand away and removed the mask from her face.
Beside her was a cucumber, about three fingers thick.
"Sister Qin, if you have needs, why don't you tell me? Am I worse than a cucumber?"
Su Yang gestured with the cucumber and then took a bite.
Zhang Suqin was speechless. "I was going to slice it for my face. I've been breaking out lately. A woman in her thirties, fading beauty..."
"Hehe, Sister Qin, don't worry, I'll solve your troubles right away."
Su Yang offered the Youth Preserving Pill. The moment he opened it, Zhang Suqin's eyes widened in astonishment.
"What is this? It smells so good, with a strong medicinal aroma."
"Youth Preserving Pill. It nourishes the skin and guarantees you'll return to eighteen after taking it."
"Pfft, is there really such a magical thing?"
Zhang Suqin didn't believe it, examining the crystal-clear Youth Preserving Pill, devoid of any impurities.
"I'll try its effect first."
Zhang Suqin swallowed the Youth Preserving Pill and waited quietly for it to take effect.
A few minutes later.
The fine nasolabial folds on Zhang Suqin's forehead had vanished.
The calluses on her fingers also disappeared, as if her skin had been renewed.
"Oh my god, I really look eighteen again."
Zhang Suqin looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling like she had returned to her youth.
Her skin was smooth and delicate, elastic and moisturized.
Su Yang also tested the feel. "Not bad. It seems you, Sister Qin, have a better effect with the Youth Preserving Pill than them."
"That's because I'm older than Yang Mange and the others, so the effect is more pronounced."
Zhang Suqin was overjoyed and casually threw the mask and the remaining half cucumber into the trash.
She jumped into the pool to play. The winter sun was hot, and the water wasn't cold.
"This feels so good, like being reborn."
Su Yang put down his phone and also jumped into the swimming pool.
"Sister Qin, the best is yet to come!"
"Oh? You haven't been around for a while. Have you made progress again?"
Zhang Suqin swam to the edge, grabbing the ladder with one hand, and testing the water temperature with the other.
"Ooh, it's quite hot. I'll cool you down today, as a return gift."
"Okay."
Su Yang also grabbed the ladder, straightened his body with force, splashing water everywhere.
Zhang Suqin gasped, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Little Yang, you've grown so much, it's quite intense. If I weren't used to your ferocity, I really couldn't handle it."
"Hehe, Sister Qin, don't worry. The water is cool and moist, it won't be too uncomfortable."
Su Yang let out a few low growls, splashing water several meters high.
...
An hour later.
Zhang Suqin lay on the chair, panting for breath.
"You should go now, I need to sleep properly."
"Okay, be careful not to catch a cold."
Su Yang covered her with a blanket, tidied her clothes, and left.
Outside the door.
"I wonder what Xuxu is up to. I'll go to her place first."
At this moment, Liu Xu was grooming a husky.
The husky panted with its mouth open, occasionally licking Liu Xu's hand.
"Xiao Hua, why are you like Su Yang?"
Liu Xu thought of Su Yang when she saw the dog. He used to like to take liberties whenever he visited.
"Xuxu, how can you compare me to Xiao Hua?"
Su Yang had just entered when he heard Liu Xu murmuring to herself.
"Ah... why are you here?"
"To see you, and to give you a small gift!"
Liu Xu was dismissive. "What small gift? Don't tell me it's one of those little romantic things men like to buy?"
As the well-known businesswoman of Songhai, the chairwoman of Yasi Apparel Group, and a top beauty, Liu Xu was accustomed to receiving a large number of gifts inexplicably.
Su Yang smiled mysteriously. "Of course not. Open it and see."
"Alright, hold Xiao Hua for me, or it'll run away again."
Liu Xu opened the gift box and held up a small bottle, shaking it.
She uncorked it and saw a pure white, impurity-free pill inside.
"What kind of pill is this? It smells so good!"
"Youth Preserving Pill!"
Su Yang said each word slowly and introduced the miraculous effects of the Youth Preserving Pill.
Hearing that the Youth Preserving Pill had nourishing and moisturizing effects, Liu Xu was also extremely happy.
Without hesitation, she swallowed the Youth Preserving Pill.
It melted in her mouth, and the warm sensation was very comfortable.
Liu Xu held out her hands, her eyes shining.
"The small scratches on my hands are gone too, it's amazing."
Liu Xu got a mirror to look at herself, unable to believe her eyes.
"My skin is even better than after applying lubricant. This Youth Preserving Pill is truly a divine medicine!"
"Yes, this Youth Preserving Pill is not easy to refine. It requires too many medicinal ingredients, so the effect is naturally excellent."
Su Yang patted the husky, letting it go play aside.
Liu Xu, forgetting about Xiao Hua, excitedly hugged Su Yang.
"This gift is too precious. Just tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you."
"What I want is right in front of me. Are you willing to give it?"
Liu Xu realized what he meant, and her cheeks flushed crimson.
In fact, she also liked Su Yang a lot, but when it came to that point, she became nervous.
"I have my period today. I'll definitely give it to you next time."
"Can I just stay outside and not go in?"
"Alright then... take it easy, don't make too much noise, or Xiao Hua will feel shy watching."
"It's afraid of you grooming it right now and has already run away. Don't worry about it for now."
Su Yang helped Liu Xu sit down. The leather sofa sank significantly.
Liu Xu lowered her head and lay down, her hands clenched tightly.
The sofa creaked and groaned, unable to bear the weight of over two hundred jin.
"Am I getting fat?"
Su Yang smiled. "No, you're just right. Not an ounce too much, not an ounce too little."
Liu Xu's figure wasn't like that of a skinny woman. She hadn't deliberately taken medication to lose weight, and she often practiced yoga at home.
Therefore, her figure was well-maintained, with perfect S-shaped curves.
"Hmph! You must say the same thing to them. You philanderer!"
Liu Xu pouted, feeling a strange sensation in her body, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Su Yang held her head. "Xuxu, come to my house for dinner at the end of the year. You'll have to integrate into the family sooner or later."
"That's fine, but I'll still live here. I prefer a quieter life."
"No problem, whatever you like!"
They talked for a long time until the husky, Xiao Hua, came out to cause trouble and they had to separate.
The husky barked incessantly at Su Yang, thinking he was bullying its mistress.
"Good boy, Xiao Hua. I'm helping your mommy solve her worries. Don't bark so loudly."
"Woof woof woof!"
The husky jumped up and down, giving Su Yang a dubious look.
"Good heavens, this husky isn't stupid either. It even knows how to protect its mistress."
Liu Xu panted, lying on the sofa, and reached out to stroke the husky's head.
"It's not stupid, just a bit slow. Sometimes its reactions are very slow. I call it for ages and it doesn't come, it's maddening!"
"Mhmm, since it's inconvenient for you, I'll come another day!!"
Su Yang picked up the gift box and continued his deliveries.
He still had the Queen and Princess to visit, and before he knew it, it was already night.
