Chapter Ten: How to Charm a Handsome Young Man

Page 1/3

Yu Zhi found Zhou Su’s nonsense unbearable to listen to. If she had a choice, instead of clinging to Grandma Wang by the door, she would have definitely left him behind.

[Friends, watch out for a flying kick! I think Yu Zhi really wants to kick someone, hahahaha.]

[Look at the divine treasures we once indulged in! The Zhihā CP flag will forever stand strong.]

[No wonder Zhou Su’s manager never lets him do interviews or other activities alone. He really is crazy; Yu Zhi’s description of him is spot on.]

Grandma Wang smiled warmly as she looked at Yu Zhi. “Young lady, your boyfriend is handsome, capable, and can make you laugh. Grandma has a secret manual here—would you like it?”

A secret manual?

Those two words struck a chord with Yu Zhi. She was worried because the first task was so simple; it didn’t quite feel like the director’s style.

“Grandma, what secret manual?”

Grandma Wang smiled knowingly and gently patted Yu Zhi’s hand resting on her arm. “Wait here for me, I’ll get it for you.”

Surprised and delighted, Yu Zhi didn’t correct Grandma Wang’s way of addressing Zhou Su. After a while, Grandma Wang came out with a tightly wrapped cloth bundle.

Yu Zhi carefully took it, not daring to be careless. However, the bold title on the cover slapped her right in the face:

— How to Woo a Handsome Young Man.

“Grandma Wang, is this the secret manual you mentioned? Did the production team give it to you?”

“You mean Xiao Zhao? No, no, this is my private stash! I don’t share it with others,” Grandma Wang hurriedly waved her hand and whispered in Yu Zhi’s ear.

Yu Zhi was caught in a dilemma—whether to take it or not. After hesitating, her ears began to flush.

[Grandma Wang: Did I give you a divine assist or not?]

[Lol, watching these star-crossed rivals walk into a mental institution and successfully obtain a manual on wooing—this will keep me laughing for months!]

[Zhijie, why are your ears red? Could it be…]

Yu Zhi found it hard to explain her relationship with Zhou Su to Grandma Wang and had no intention of actually following the manual. She could only shout at Zhou Su, “Zhou Su, hurry up! The director gave us many tasks. If you dawdle, I won’t get to enjoy a good meal today. Go kidnap the director!”

Zhou Su was happily playing with the chickens and was caught off guard by the urging. In his distraction, he accidentally scattered feed all over the chicken coop. Yu Zhi closed her eyes in exasperation, laughing. Well, now he definitely wouldn’t finish quickly.

Yu Zhi pulled up a stool and sat with Grandma Wang by the door to watch Zhou Su clown around.

“Zhizhi, do you think that chicken is showing off to me? Wait till Brother Zhou feeds you full!”

After watching for a while, Yu Zhi decided to help Grandma Wang with other chores. The courtyard was somewhat messy, so Yu Zhi tidied the entire yard.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was lunchtime.

Yu Zhi’s mind was still filled with the contents of the manual. Concerned she might get bored, Grandma Wang insisted she read it in her presence, saying she could answer any questions.

“Zhizhi! What do you want for lunch? I can swap ingredients at the production team’s side!” Zhou Su, having finished tidying the chicken coop, happily approached Yu Zhi.

Zhou Su came toward her with the light behind him, and the sharp contours of his face suddenly transformed in Yu Zhi’s eyes into glowing words, dazzling her.

The first rule of wooing a handsome young man: Never call a younger boy “sister,” tease him with hope, elevate with cooking skills, and hold him in your arms…

Shaking her head, Yu Zhi banished these absurd thoughts and said goodbye to Grandma Wang. “Grandma, you’re busy. We’ll come chat when we’re free.”

Grandma Wang was very fond of Yu Zhi, holding onto her hand tightly. “Busy with what? Come eat with me. Just call me Grandma, and I won’t let you go hungry.”

Weighing both options, Yu Zhi calmly accepted Grandma Wang’s invitation.

“Well then, we shall graciously accept! Zhou Su, get to cooking!”

[Yu Zhi bossing Zhou Su around is like me bossing my dog around. The difference? My dog isn’t as obedient as Zhou Su.]

[So straightforward—does Zhou Su have any chance? Our Zhou family army still likes Sister Yu as a sister-in-law!]

[Disappointed in my son; can Grandma give Zhou Su a “How to Woo a Beautiful Girl” manual?]

[Grandma’s expression is everything! Even expired couple candies are so adorable!]

Grandma Wang smiled like a young girl, making Yu Zhi easy to soothe.

Rare peace, no worries, no troublesome people, and even servants bringing tea and water—Yu Zhi began to look forward to this show.

After settling Grandma Wang, Yu Zhi grabbed a small stool and sat by the courtyard door to bask in the sun.

“Zhizhi, your life looks so sweet!”

Yu Zhi opened her eyes slightly and saw Shi Hailing and Bai Fuyuan slowly approaching.

“Sister Ling, taking a break from work?”

Yu Zhi pulled a similar stool behind her and offered, “Sit for a bit?”

Shi Hailing waved her hand. “We haven’t had lunch yet, so don’t think you have it easy. How’s the task coming along?”

Yu Zhi shrugged. “There was a little accident, didn’t get much done. How about you?”

“Sister Yu, can we have lunch with you?” Bai Fuyuan had been on edge after Zhou Su’s morning outburst, but now he wasn’t showing the usual attitude Yu Zhi disliked.

The request was a bit forward.

Yu Zhi looked at Shi Hailing with some hesitation. “Sister Ling, I’m just here to get by. This decision isn’t easy.” As for Bai Fuyuan, she was grateful he hadn’t caused more trouble—these past days he had dug plenty of pits for her.

Shi Hailing laughed heartily. “It’s no big deal! Our tasks in the second half align with yours. After lunch, want to move together?”

Yu Zhi recalled that the production team hadn’t restricted guests from collaborating and smiled in agreement.

Shi Hailing was quite nice and had shown her care when she first entered the industry. Besides, Yu Zhi didn’t want to be alone with any male guests.

“Zhizhi! Lunch is ready!”

Zhou Su emerged from the kitchen wearing a small pink apron, making Shi Hailing glance at him and then at Yu Zhi, laughing.

“Hahaha, Yu Zhi, I just realized Zhou Su looks like this around you. You’re really something…”

Zhou Su smiled shyly. “Sister Shi, is it really that funny?”

“Extremely funny…” Bai Fuyuan bit his teeth and took a jab at Zhou Su. Anyone could tell how much he disliked him.

“Fuyuan, do you have a grudge against Zhou Su?” Shi Hailing suddenly asked, leaving Bai Fuyuan stunned. His relationship with Yu Zhi was still a secret… he…

“I like Sister Yu, so it’s normal to hate her ex-boyfriend, isn’t it? Sister Hailing, let’s hurry to eat. The smell is making me so hungry!” He clumsily changed the subject. Shi Hailing chuckled softly and followed his lead.

“Zhizhi, remember! Come find us after you eat!”

[Shi Hailing and Zhou Su seem to have a good relationship.]

[Shi Hailing’s last film before retirement was with Zhou Su. What do you think their relationship is like?]

“Zhizhi and Sister Ling get along well. She’s quite hard to please. Our Zhizhi is truly loved by all!” Zhou Su leisurely took off his clothes, his gaze on their departing figures inscrutable.
