In the cramped space of the elevator, the hot and ambiguous sounds were amplified infinitely, and every subtle sound of water and panting was so clear that it made one's ears burn.

Lu Yao was stiffly led by Fu Ciyan, her eyes fixed on her reflection in the metal elevator door, wishing she could disappear on the spot.

Fu Ciyan remained calm and composed. Just as the elevator doors were about to close again, he raised his hand and pressed the open button, calmly reminding, "Madam, we have arrived at your floor."

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly shattered the almost solidified, enchanting atmosphere.

The beautiful neighbor, engrossed in her kiss, paused, stepped back slightly, her red lips glistening, and glanced over with a dreamy look in her eyes.

Seeing Fu Ciyan and Lu Yao in the elevator, instead of feeling embarrassed, he smiled lazily and even stuck out his tongue, licking his lips with lingering satisfaction.

The boy also turned his head, his face still flushed, and glanced shyly at Lu Yao before quickly lowering his eyes.

"You two are back from your date?" The beautiful neighbor's voice was slightly hoarse as she nestled naturally in the boy's arms, like a boneless snake. "This is my new date, she's 18 this year, and things are still fresh in her life, so please don't mind."

As she spoke, she turned the boy's face and kissed him, then winked at Lu Yao, before taking her matchmaker's hand and swaying her hips as she exited the elevator.

Lu Yao's cheeks burned. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word. She just stared at the other person until the elevator doors closed again.

Fu Ciyan chuckled lightly: "Scared?"

Lu Yao did not deny it, and nodded: "A little. I didn't expect her to be so open."

She thought that the beautiful woman at most went to nightclubs to find male models, but she didn't expect her to be so hot in private.

Fu Ciyan, however, spoke as if it were commonplace: "This is normal life for most women. Once you see it, you'll get used to it."

Hearing Fu Ciyan say these words in such a natural tone, for some reason, made Lu Yao feel a little uncomfortable.

It was as if he had really become accustomed to such things.

Thinking this, she asked, "You...you've seen a lot?"

Fu Ciyan looked down at her, his expression a mix of seriousness and hesitation, as if he was debating whether or not to tell Lu Yao something.

"When I was a child, my father took me to a place where we were married off. The other family had another potential match."

As Fu Ciyan finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. Lu Yao was stunned for a moment by his words, then Fu Ciyan took her hand and led her out of the elevator.

She looked up at Fu Ciyan, who seemed completely unaffected, and felt a pang of unease. "I'm sorry, I didn't know... you..."

"It's nothing, it happened a long time ago, don't worry about it. I just wanted you to know that when you encounter something like this, just ignore it."

Lu Yao did not feel relieved by his words. Instead, she couldn't help but wonder if there was such a reason why Fu Ciyan was so resistant to the marriage arrangement.

Because I've seen too much of it, that's why I'm so resistant.

Just now, he said, "I hope she can meet more men so she can have something to compare with." What exactly does he want her to compare?

The apartment door opened, and Fu Ciyan turned to look at Lu Yao, who had suddenly fallen silent: "What's wrong? Did I say something that affected you?"

"No, I'm just a little confused. It's probably the first time I've encountered something like this." Lu Yao tugged at the corner of her lips.

Fu Ciyan, however, stared intently at her.

In fact, he had a feeling for a long time, and the longer he spent with Lu Yao, the stronger this feeling became.

That is, Lu Yao, as a woman, did not have the arrogance, haughtiness, and contempt for everything that he thought women possessed, nor did she show any contempt or disrespect for men.

At the same time, she possesses a purity that is untouched by 'contamination,' as clean and pure as a gemstone under the sunlight, uncarved, its original form already dazzling.

He wanted to possess Lu Yao all to himself, but he was also worried that his thoughts were too outrageous.

"Don't think too much, just be yourself." Fu Ciyan smiled, patted her head, and led her home.

Looking at the luggage that Fu Ciyan had almost finished packing on the floor, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, deciding to put this matter aside for now, and asked, "When are we moving in?"

"Next week, don't worry about it. I'll take care of the arrangements then." He put down his camping gear, turned around, and said, "Go take a bath and relax. I'll take care of things here."

Lu Yao shook her head, not really agreeing: "Don't bother, take a rest first. Anyway, these things won't run away if they're left here."

Fu Ciyan smiled at her words and leaned down to touch her lips: "Feeling sorry for me?"

The kiss was light, fleeting and brief.

Lu Yao was taken aback by his sudden intimacy. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't flinch or complain as usual. Instead, she looked up at him, her clear eyes reflecting his image.

"Yes, I feel sorry for you." She muttered softly, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of his shirt. "You've been busy camping all morning, and now you have to clean up afterward. Do you think I'm heartless?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was some kind of landlady, enslaving her farmhands.

The slight awkwardness and genuine concern in her tone felt like a feather gently tickling Fu Ciyan's heart.

He chuckled softly, reached out and pulled her into his arms, then picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom amidst Lu Yao's gasp: "Alright then, let's finish our mission a little earlier today."

"No, Fu Ciyan, that's not what I meant... um."

Her response was the sound of the bathroom door locking and a man's hot, passionate kiss.

Early Monday morning, Lu Yao left her apartment. Starting today, she would begin filming with the crew. This was a very new experience for her, something she was looking forward to, but also a little nervous about.

Lu Yao pressed the elevator button and stepped inside.

After going down one floor, the elevator doors opened, and I saw my beautiful neighbor walking in arm in arm with another man.

Lu Yao subconsciously widened her eyes. She was certain that the boy she had seen before was definitely not the man she was seeing now.

As if sensing Lu Yao's gaze, the beautiful neighbor chuckled, "Were you startled? Let me introduce you again, this is also one of my match partners."

"So, you matched with two people, right?"

Upon hearing this question, the beautiful neighbor chuckled and said, "Little sister, you're quite cute. But it's normal that you don't understand since you're young. Just consider it as me being matched with two potential partners."

At this point, the beautiful neighbor winked at her again.

Lu Yao silently turned her head, not really wanting to understand the meaning in her eyes.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Lu Yao quickly fled the elevator. Even after running a long distance, she could still hear her beautiful neighbor's undisguised laughter.

And that comment, "Being young is cute."
