Su Chang looked at Wang Yidi, feeling somewhat hesitant. He knew that Wang Yidi was a dance prodigy who had been practicing since childhood, while he himself was a complete novice.

However, when he saw Wang Yidi's expectant eyes, his heart softened, and he ultimately couldn't bear to refuse.

He nodded slightly and agreed, "Sure, but I've never played a dance machine before. You'll have to let me get used to it first." His voice carried a hint of uncertainty, but more so, it was filled with anticipation for trying something new.

Before Wang Yidi could speak, Fang Yifan said first, "It's okay, Teacher Su, you can skip to the beginner level first, and then move on to the more difficult level later." He had an encouraging smile on his face, seemingly full of confidence in Su Chang.

Su Chang gave Fang Yifan a knowing look, then handed him all the coins in her hand. He and Wang Yidi stepped onto the dance machine, feeling a little nervous.

Fang Yifan, with his keen eye, quickly inserted the coin and then selected an introductory track for the two of them—Catallena - Orange Caramel.

As soon as the music started, Wang Yidi quickly got the hang of it. Her movements were light and graceful, as if she were dancing on a stage.

Su Chang followed Wang Yidi's movements cautiously. Although his coordination was good, he had no dance background, so his movements appeared somewhat stiff.

However, as the music played, he gradually found his rhythm and began to relax. Following Wang Yidi's example, his movements became increasingly fluid, even surpassing Wang Yidi's in terms of fluidity.

After all, Wang Yidi studied folk dance, while Su Chang had a musical foundation from the system's rewards, making her more sensitive to rhythm.

After the dance, the four women and Fang Yifan all looked at Su Chang in astonishment. Their mouths were wide open, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Wang Yidi, in particular, beamed with excitement, her eyes sparkling with admiration. She exclaimed, "Teacher Su, you danced so well! You're even better than me! You must be a professional dancer!"

Su Chang simply waved her hand and said modestly, "Not at all, I just danced around to the rhythm of the music, and there are still many shortcomings."

Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. He hadn't expected to dance so well on his first time playing the dance machine, which gave him a new understanding of his abilities.

Afterwards, seeing how well Su Chang danced, Fang Yifan directly requested a very old hit song—Butterfly. As soon as the song started, a lot of onlookers gathered around.

It started with some soothing music, and Wang Yidi and Su Chang both showed professional skill. Their movements were graceful and fluid, as if they were performing a magnificent dance.

As the piece reached its climax, a hint of nervousness appeared on Wang Yidi's face. Slight sweat began to bead on her forehead, and her hands trembled involuntarily. Her movements became somewhat clumsy and her steps became unsteady. She tried hard to keep up with the rhythm, but always seemed to lack the strength.

Su Chang continued to perform steadily, a confident smile on his face. His movements were as natural and fluid as flowing water, as if he were completely immersed in the world of music. He had only one thought in his mind: to fully enjoy the pleasure of dancing.

When the song ended, Su Chang was surprised to find that there were even more people surrounding him than when Fang Yifan and the others were dancing. Many pretty girls came over, their eyes sparkling with admiration; some smiled shyly, while others boldly shouted for an encore.

Su Chang felt both excited and nervous; his heart was pounding involuntarily. Looking at the crowd before him, he felt a little helpless; he hadn't expected his simple dance to attract such a large audience.

Just then, a pretty young woman stepped forward and said sweetly, "Handsome guy, you danced so well! Can you add a green bubble?"

Su Chang quickly waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend, I can't add her."

The pretty girl pouted and stepped aside, while the other pretty girl who wanted to come up also stopped.

Wang Yidi and the other three girls watched Su Chang from the side, feeling a little helpless. Su Chang's charm was just too great. They looked at the pretty girls and muttered to themselves, "Hmph, these people are too forward!" A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes.

Su Chang felt the gazes of Wang Yidi and the other three women, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

He quickly pulled the five people together and whispered, "Let's go." With that, he squeezed through the crowd and only breathed a long sigh of relief after running some distance.

..... ... ....

Su Chang dared not go back to the arcade. He sent Zhang Yifan to call the others and tell them to call him when they were done playing.

He then planned to take the four women to the snack street, thinking to himself: "If we come to this mountain city and don't try the snacks, we'll be missing out big time."

Fang Yifan hadn't had enough fun yet, so he immediately nodded in agreement and ran towards the arcade like a wild horse.

Su Chang and the others, led by Li Anran, strolled leisurely toward the food street.

On the way, the four girls kept praising Su Chang for dancing so well. Su Chang smiled modestly, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, not at all, I just dance casually."

The four women persisted in praising Su Chang. Although Su Chang felt a little smug, she couldn't stand their praise, so she immediately begged for mercy, "Please stop praising me, I'm getting embarrassed. How about I buy each of you a gift, please forgive me?"

Looking at Su Chang's expression, Li Anran and the other three women smiled slightly and readily agreed.

Afterwards, Li Anran led the group to the nearby Starlight 68 Shopping Plaza. Although it couldn't compare to MixC, it was still considered one of the more upscale shopping plazas in the mountain city. Su Chang didn't waste any words and led the four women directly to the luxury boutiques.

After the four women entered, a sales assistant immediately greeted them with a fawning smile, serving them attentively. There was none of that cheesy, disrespectful behavior that some might expect.

Su Chang waved his hand generously and said, "Go ahead and pick whatever you like, it's on me."

At first, the four women were a little reserved and looked at Su Chang with some shyness.

Su Chang whispered to the sales assistants, "How much sales you make depends on your abilities. I'll buy whatever they like."

Upon hearing Su Chang's words, the saleswomen's eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure. They immediately gave Su Chang an OK sign and then enthusiastically began promoting the product to the four women.

The four women were also pulled along by several sales assistants to pick out clothes.

Su Chang went to the rest area and called his two bodyguards, since carrying a bag wasn't really his thing.

As he made the phone call, he watched the four women pick out clothes, thinking to himself: These girls really love shopping.

Chapter 310 Yan Xiaoqiu

About an hour and a half later, the four women finally finished choosing their clothes and came to Su Chang's side.

They all looked at Su Chang with embarrassed expressions, and Su Chang asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you all?"

The four women exchanged glances, and then Qiao Yingzi said, forcing herself to speak, "Teacher Su, we've picked out quite a lot of things."

Su Chang waved his hand dismissively and said with a smug smile, "What's the trouble? Just be happy. Your teacher Su has no shortage of money."

The four girls were deeply moved by Su Chang's words. Looking at him, their eyes sparkled, as if they were seeing their Prince Charming.

Looking at the expressions of the four women, Su Chang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He gently patted the four women on the shoulder and comforted them, "Alright, don't think about it too much. I'll go pay the bill first, and then we'll go get something to eat."

The four women nodded, their eyes shining with gratitude. Su Chang turned and walked towards the cashier, his steps firm and powerful. He took out his wallet and paid without hesitation. The total came to around 300,000 yuan, which was really a drop in the ocean for him.

At this moment, Fang Yifan also called Su Chang. They had finished playing there and asked Su Chang where to meet. Su Chang told them to go to the food street, and they would meet at the "867" food street.

Su Chang had two bodyguards put the items back in the car, and then had Li Anran lead the way to the snack street.

Not long after Fang Yifan and the others arrived, they strolled around the food street together. Su Chang immediately began his shopping spree, his eyes scanning the surrounding stalls like a scanner. If he saw something he liked, he bought it without hesitation.

Tu Jun and the others were initially a little reserved, but with Fang Yifan and Ji Yangyang leading the way, they gradually relaxed. Their faces were filled with excited smiles as they ate their food and joked with Su Chang.

Everyone happily strolled and ate their way through the streets, until finally, their mouths were greasy and they had no regard for their image.

It was 11:30 p.m. Su Chang glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late. He frowned, worried about everyone's safety. So, he suggested they go home.

Although everyone was still somewhat reluctant to leave, they knew it was getting late and all agreed.

There were still two cars, but Li Anran stayed in Su Chang's car, so Fang Yifan and Ji Yangyang were squeezed into the car behind.

Su Chang looked at Li Anran and smiled helplessly. He shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "This little girl is really mischievous."

He looked at Li Anran and asked gently, "Anran, where do you live? Let me take you home first."

Li Anran blinked, smiled mischievously, and a sly glint appeared in her eyes. She gently tugged at Su Chang's sleeve and said sweetly, "Big Brother Su Chang, why don't you take the three classmates back to their hotel to rest first, and then take me? Anyway, we'll be passing by your hotel on the way to my house." Her tone revealed a matter-of-fact confidence, as if she already knew Su Chang would agree to her request.

Qiao Yingzi and the other two women's expressions turned ugly. They glared fiercely at Li Anran, cursing inwardly at the "green tea" woman's clever tactics.

However, Li Anran ignored their gazes completely. Her face still wore that determined expression, as if to tell Su Chang that her decision was beyond question.

Looking at Li Anran, Su Chang felt a little helpless. He knew this little girl was very smart and had her own ideas, but he couldn't very well refuse her request directly. So, he could only nod and agree.

Although Qiao Yingzi and the other two women wanted to refuse, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree after seeing that Su Chang had agreed.

After dropping the three women off at the hotel, Li Anran finally gave them her home address.

Su Chang had her bodyguard drive them there, while Li Anran took the opportunity to pull Su Chang to the back seat to sit with her. Although Su Chang was somewhat reluctant, she reluctantly agreed.

Throughout the journey, Li Anran kept her head down, seemingly deep in thought. Her fingers kept fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion. Su Chang noticed her unusual behavior and couldn't help but feel curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.

Finally, the car arrived at Li Anran's residential complex. Li Anran looked up, glanced shyly at Su Chang, and then greeted the security guard. Following her directions, the bodyguard drove the car to the front of Li Anran's house.

After the car stopped, a blush rose on Li Anran's face. She slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked softly, "Big Brother Su Chang, will we see each other again in the future?" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of receiving a negative answer.

Looking at Li Anran's adorable appearance, Su Chang's heart couldn't help but flutter. He smiled, took out his phone, waved it in front of Li Anran, and said, "Didn't we add Green Bubble? When you go to Shanghai in the future, contact me, and I'll take you there to have fun." His tone was full of tenderness and care.

A joyful smile immediately spread across Li Anran's face, her eyes sparkling. She asked again, "How many more days are you going to stay in Shancheng? Can I come with you?" Her voice was full of longing and anticipation.

Su Chang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "An Ran, I'm sorry, we should be leaving Shancheng in the next day or two, so..." His words revealed a hint of regret and helplessness.

"Alright then." A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Anran's eyes. Her lips pursed slightly, and she said dejectedly. Her gaze was downcast, as if all its light had been lost.

Then, she gently opened the car door, her movements hesitant. In the instant Su Chang wasn't looking, she darted like a nimble little bird, quickly giving Su Chang a light peck on the cheek. This peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water, was filled with endless tenderness.

Li Anran's face instantly turned crimson. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Su Chang in the eye. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Big Brother Su Chang, don't forget me. I will definitely come find you."

Without waiting for Su Chang's reply, she jumped out of the car like a startled rabbit. Her steps were somewhat hurried; she waved without looking back and ran towards the villa. Her figure appeared so petite in the moonlight, yet full of determination.

Su Chang touched the spot on his face where Li Anran had kissed him, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. He watched Li Anran's retreating figure, his face full of helplessness. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so bold.

Su Chang could only shake his head, then silently told the bodyguard to close the door and drive away from Li Anran's house.

The next morning, Su Chang arranged for Su Mang to continue leading everyone on a tour of the mountain city, while he, Guan Xiaodi, and Cui Tianqi, who had arrived the night before, drove to the Jiangbei Airport in the mountain city.

He was told by Zheng Fangxiu last night that the crew members being recruited would be coming to apply today, and he needed to go for the interview in person.

Upon arriving at the airport, Su Chang greeted the airport staff, and the vehicle drove straight into the airport and arrived at the private jet parking area. Soon, they found the particularly conspicuous Airbus A380.

However, when the car stopped at the bottom of the stairs, Su Chang frowned instantly, because he saw someone who disgusted him.

As soon as Su Chang got out of the car, Chen Shanshan grabbed a pretty girl and ran over. Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

Chen Shanshan said urgently, "Mr. Su, please give me a chance to apologize to you, okay?"

Su Chang frowned and ordered Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi without any mercy, "Get her out of here! I don't want to see her." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the plane, as if he didn't want to see this woman for even a moment longer.

"Yes, boss." Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi agreed and immediately prepared to carry out the order.

Seeing this, the girl next to Chen Shanshan hurriedly called out to Su Chang's back, "Mr. Su, hello! I am Chen Shanshan's sister, Yan Xiaoqiu. May I talk to you?"

Upon hearing Yan Xiaoqiu's name, Su Chang stopped abruptly. He turned around and instructed Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi, "Xiaodi, Tianqi, wait a moment."

Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Su Chang.

Su Chang waved his hand and said, "Let them come on board." After saying that, he continued walking towards the plane.

Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi nodded hurriedly in agreement. Guan Xiaodi said expressionlessly, "Since the boss wants you to go up, then you can follow me. However, I'm warning you, don't do anything you shouldn't do, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanshan was about to explode, but Yan Xiaoqiu grabbed her and said politely, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. We will definitely follow the rules. We're just here to apologize." Her eyes were full of sincerity.

After Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi nodded in satisfaction, they led the two onto the plane.

Su Chang's mind kept flashing back to the plot of Yan Xiaoqiu in the original drama. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Yan Xiaoqiu was truly a tragic character.

She is not only a talented jewelry designer, but also the owner of a guesthouse in Lijiang. She has a gentle personality (3.9) and is especially caring towards Chen Shanshan.
