"Su Xuan, are we heading back to the city?" Yu Antai asked as they left the wellness center. He glanced at the time; it was already six in the afternoon. "No rush," Su Xuan said with a wave of his hand. "I saw the resort’s promotional poster. There’s a bonfire party tonight. We can join in. The kids will definitely love it." "Yay, yay!" Yu Yu exclaimed excitedly before her father could even respond. "I’ve only ever seen bonfire parties on TV; I’ve never actually been to one! Let’s go to the bonfire party tonight!" At eight o’clock that evening, on a mountain ridge just outside the resort, rows of bonfires blazed to life. Figures danced and sang around the flames, and the air was thick with the aroma of barbecue. The party was open to all guests, not just Su Xuan and his group. "Su Xuan, care for a beer?" By one of the bonfires, Alice sat down next to Su Xuan with two cans, handing one to him. Then, she glanced at Yu Yu, who was grilling a lamb skewer over the fire, and leaned her head on Su Xuan’s shoulder. Su Xuan opened the beer and took a sip, then wrapped an arm around Alice’s slender waist. The flickering light of the bonfire illuminated their faces. They truly looked like a couple made in heaven. When Yu Yu saw this, the lamb skewer in her hand dropped into the bonfire. Fueled by the dripping fat, it sizzled and popped loudly. "Dachun, come here a moment!" Seeing his daughter’s strange expression, Yu Antai immediately waved Lu Dachun over. "Coming, coming!" Lu Dachun said, holding dozens of uncooked lamb skewers. Crouching beside Yu Antai, he asked, "What’s the order, Boss?" "Did you see that?" Yu Antai muttered, glancing at Su Xuan and Alice. "There are children present. Tell them not to be so intimate!" "Understood, understood!" Lu Dachun hurried over to Su Xuan and whispered a few words in his ear. Su Xuan shot Yu Antai a smile before he and Alice stood up. With his beer still in hand, they moved about ten paces away and sat down together again. "Are they doing this on purpose?" Yu Antai muttered. He peered through the firelight and saw that the two of them were being even more brazen. Alice was now pressed completely into Su Xuan’s arms, and Su Xuan’s hand was sliding up and down her back. Yu Yu saw it too, and her expression darkened. In a fit of pique, she snatched seven or eight lamb skewers from Lu Dachun and tossed them all into the fire. "Xiao Yun, come here for a moment!" This time, before Yu Antai could say anything, Lu Dachun waved over to Xiao Yun, who was sitting nearby gazing at the stars. "I have a mission for you. Go get your Brother Su Xuan and ask him to help us grill." "Got it!" Xiao Yun chirped. With her hands clasped behind her back, she skipped over to Su Xuan. After he whispered something to her, she sat down beside him and, just like Alice had done, leaned against his body. Just like that, Su Xuan had a girl cuddled up to him on each side. Yu Yu’s brow furrowed even deeper as she watched. Suddenly, she thrust her hand into the fire pit and grabbed the seven or eight skewers she had just tossed in. Ignoring the searing heat, she clutched the skewers and marched over to Su Xuan. "She took the bait," Alice murmured. "Let’s go." Seeing Yu Yu approach, Alice and Xiao Yun immediately got up and left Su Xuan’s side, wandering off to another bonfire to watch the dancing and singing. It was all an act, designed to provoke Yu Yu’s deep-seated, obsessive emotions. This way, she would walk right into the scene they had set for her. "Brother Su Xuan," Yu Yu said, sitting down right beside him. Her face had transformed, now wearing a charmingly sweet expression. "Want some meat? I grilled it myself!" "This looks completely charred," Su Xuan noted, waving the can of beer at her. "I think I’ll stick with this." He took a large gulp. "Oh, sorry!" Yu Yu said. "It’s my first time grilling, so I didn’t get the heat right. How about... how about I give you a foot massage instead? I’m worried the people at the wellness center didn’t do a good enough job." As she spoke, she shifted closer, reached for his foot, and slipped off his shoe. "Aren’t you afraid your parents will see?" Su Xuan asked. "Just block their view," Yu Yu replied, shifting again. And with that, she actually began to massage his foot. "Phew! It’s so hot with all these fires around," she exclaimed after a few moments. She lifted a hand, pulled down the collar of her shirt, and leaned in close to Su Xuan. Su Xuan stole a single glance before quickly taking another swig of beer. Was this girl raised on hormones? How did she get so... impressive! Truly impressive! "Brother Su Xuan..." Seeing his reaction, Yu Yu looked down with a small smile. In a soft, tender voice, she said, "I like you. Do you like me?" "You’re still... young," Su Xuan said. "I’m about to go to college. Is that still young?" "But I’m not a good person. I’m not worthy of your affection," Su Xuan said. "You just saw... I..." "I don’t mind," Yu Yu cut in. With that, Yu Yu opened her small mouth, extended a kitten-like tongue, and licked the sole of his foot. "See? I’m not so good either," she said. "Let’s make two negatives into a positive!" Damn, where did she learn all this? So slick! "Besides, I’ve never even had a boyfriend," Yu Yu added.

"I’m already bored with all those multi-talented celebrity idols. How could any of the guys at school possibly catch my eye? Brother Su Xuan, I’ve really fallen for you. Let’s start dating tonight, okay?" "Your parents would never agree," Su Xuan said. "They absolutely will! They let me do whatever I want!" "We’ll see," Su Xuan hedged. "I’m really tired today." "Where are we staying tonight?" Yu Yu asked. "It’s late, so we’re staying at the resort, of course." "I’ll sneak over to your room tonight," she whispered. "Remember to leave the door unlocked for me..." At ten o’clock, the bonfire party was winding down. Yu Antai, who’d had quite a bit of beer, started yawning and asked Su Xuan about the sleeping arrangements. "Let’s go," Su Xuan announced. "I’ll take you all to a great place." He led them onto an electric sightseeing cart, which drove them deep into a secluded part of the forest. Under the cart’s headlights, an American-style, two-story log cabin slowly came into view. "This house is so unique!" "I feel like I’ve seen it in a movie before!" "And it’s so quiet and peaceful out here!" "A night here must cost a pretty penny, right?" Yu Antai and his wife were very pleased with the cabin in the woods. They were even more satisfied when they stepped inside. The interior was also distinctly American in style, complete with carpets, a fireplace, wooden tables and chairs, and numerous taxidermy animal heads mounted on the walls. The moment he stepped inside, Su Xuan received a text message.
