Chapter 15: “Sister Xiaomeng, You’re So Radiant”
When faced with Qiao Yingzi’s invitation, Su Bai shook his head decisively.
“I really have some matters to take care of. You all go ahead. Next time, I’ll treat you to a movie and some good food.”
Having said that, Su Bai headed toward Shuxiang Yayuan.
Since he planned to visit his newly acquired yoga studio, he needed his motorcycle. Although he had promised Song Qian to only ride on holidays, it was now after school and technically not a school day.
Watching Su Bai’s departing figure, someone in the group was a little disappointed. She had agreed to the movie in the hopes that Su Bai would join. But since he wasn’t going, the group could only proceed without him.
Yingzi and the others quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight to the cinema.
For most people, watching a movie was a simple leisure activity, but for Qiao Yingzi, it was a carefully seized opportunity. She had lied to her mother, claiming she needed to stay at school for extra listening practice, just to sneak in this rare outing.
After the movie, she would need to hurry back home; otherwise, she’d have a hard time explaining herself.

When Su Bai arrived at Shuxiang Yayuan, he didn’t head straight for the garage but returned to Song Qian’s house first.
Song Qian was busy in the kitchen, a pot of soup simmering on the stove surrounded by an assortment of fresh ingredients.
Dinner at Song Qian’s house had always been a simple affair, often consisting of soup. But now, with Su Bai around, she felt the need to prepare something more substantial to ensure he was well-nourished.
Song Qian knew Yingzi was staying at school for extra listening practice, so she assumed Su Bai would be late as well. She didn’t expect him to return so early, and dinner hadn’t even started cooking yet.
As Su Bai parked his motorcycle and stepped off, their attention was immediately drawn to him.
“No way... Could he be our boss?”
When Su Bai removed his helmet, his striking appearance stunned the instructors. For a moment, all they could think was, “So handsome!”
Among them, one woman’s gaze was particularly intense—Xiaomeng.
Xiaomeng had met Su Bai before when she accompanied Qiao Weidong to Song Qian’s home. Su Bai’s looks had left a lasting impression on her. To see him again here, of all places, was beyond her expectations.
“You must be the studio manager, right? I’m Su Bai, your new boss.”
As Xiaomeng was still processing her surprise, Su Bai introduced himself to the studio’s manager.
His words sent ripples of shock through the gathered staff. None of the instructors had expected their new boss to be such a young, charismatic man.
“Boss, welcome! I’m Nie Menghan, the studio manager,” she replied, quickly extending her hand.
“Nice to meet you,” Su Bai said, shaking hands with her before letting his gaze sweep over the gathered instructors.
He admired their form-fitting yoga outfits, which accentuated their toned physiques.
Spotting Xiaomeng among them, Su Bai’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“Never thought I’d run into a familiar face here,” he thought.
