Entertainment: After singing her CEO best friend to tears, she repaid him with her body.

Chapter 53 I shushed him.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the door to the large apartment she shared with her sister. The first thing she did was kick off her pair of royal blue stilettos; she had been standing for hours all day, and her ankles were very sore.

Once I've achieved success in my career, I'll never wear it again.

"Sis, I'm back!" she called out in a tired voice, tossing her handbag onto the sofa.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, along with Su Yiyi's gentle voice: "I'm running a bath. Do you want to soak together? I added lavender essential oil; it'll relax your muscles."

"Yes!" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately started unbuttoning her clothes. "Wait three minutes, I'm about to fall apart!"

She rushed into her room, took off her expensive suit, and changed into a comfortable silk robe.

As she passed the full-length mirror, she glanced at herself in the mirror. Her long, straight black hair was a little messy, but her makeup was still exquisite, with perfectly curved red lips.

"Workaholic." She made a face at herself in the mirror, then shuffled towards the bathroom in her slippers.

The bathroom was filled with the mixed scent of lavender and citrus. Su Yiyi was taking off her pajamas, then holding onto the edge of the bathtub and stepping in to soak in the huge round jacuzzi.

Her long, black hair was pinned up on top of her head with hair clips, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone. A few rose petals floated on the water, gently swaying with the ripples.

"Wow, sis, you're so romantic today." Su Xiaoxiao said as she took off her bathrobe, revealing her beautiful figure, which was breathtaking.

Even a girl like Zhou Yuji enjoys taking a bath with these two sisters, saying it's pleasing to the eye.

Su Xiaoxiao carefully tested the water temperature, then slid into the bathtub and sighed comfortably, "Ah... I'm alive again."

The two sisters soaked side by side in the warm water, the massage jets gently stimulating their sore muscles.

For a moment, no one spoke; only the sound of flowing water and soft breathing could be heard.

After a long while, Su Xiaoxiao finally spoke: "Sister, you didn't bring the soup today."

"Mmm," Su Yiyi responded softly, her eyes closed, "I didn't want to disturb your work."

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her: "Is it because of that poem?"

The water surface rippled slightly.

Su Yiyi opened her eyes, fine water droplets clinging to her eyelashes: "What poem?"

"Stop pretending, sis," Su Xiaoxiao said with a mischievous grin, "You dare say you weren't jealous of those two lines Wang Bo wrote for Yu Ji?"

Su Yiyi remained silent. She scooped up a handful of water, watching it slip through her fingers, and after a long while, she whispered, "A little."

"Then?"

"Then..." Su Yiyi bit her lower lip, "I was indeed a little sad."

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Just a little?"

"Okay, it is quite sad." Su Yiyi could hide her feelings in front of outsiders, but in front of her sister, she admitted it, her cheeks slightly flushed from the steam. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I know that Yu Ji is a special person to him, and I know that the poem may just be an expression of gratitude and appreciation, but... I just feel depressed."

She turned to her younger sister and asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you think this is... love?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback by the question, then laughed: "Sis, you're a music teacher, you understand emotional expression best, why are you asking me this?"

"Expressing emotions and experiencing them personally are two different things." Su Yiyi glared at her reproachfully. "Just because I teach students to sing love songs doesn't mean I've ever been in a relationship myself."

That's true. Su Yiyi has always been a good girl since she was a child. She focused on her studies when she was in school and on teaching music after she started working. Her romantic experience is as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Many people pursued her, but either she didn't like them, or they gave up after a short time.

After all, a toad would feel inferior in the face of a rich and beautiful woman, while a rich second-generation heir, unable to win her over with money, can only console himself with the thought of not giving up a whole forest for a single tree.

"Okay, okay," Su Xiaoxiao stopped laughing, but the corners of her mouth still turned up. "Then let me analyze it for you. Jealousy can indeed be one of the signs of love, but not necessarily. It could also be possessiveness, or... um, a kind of resentment that I liked him first?"

Su Yiyi thought about it seriously: "I don't think it's because I'm unwilling. Wang Bo came to the blind date because Yu Ji introduced him. Logically speaking, Yu Ji is more familiar with him, and she has helped him so much. It's only right that he writes a poem to express his gratitude."

"Then why are you jealous?"

"I just..." Su Yiyi frowned, as if searching for the right words, "I just felt that the way he looked at Yu Ji was different from the way he looked at me."

Su Xiaoxiao became interested: "How is it different?"

"When he looked at Yu Ji, there was a light in his eyes, that kind of... admiring, even a little envious light. Yu Ji lived so freely and unrestrainedly, which was the kind of life he longed for." Su Yiyi's voice grew softer and softer. "When he looked at me, it was with respect and gratitude, but it seemed... something was missing from that light."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "And what about you? What's in your eyes when you look at him?"

Su Yiyi was stumped by the question.

She carefully recalled her feelings when she saw Wang Bo: the amazement she felt when she first heard him play the piano in the restaurant, the shock she felt when she heard him sing "Encounter" a cappella, the heartache she felt when she saw him struggling to raise money for her father's surgery, and the satisfaction she felt when she cooked and brought him soup every day...

"I don't know," she finally said honestly. "But I like watching him focus on making music, I like listening to his understanding of music, I like his stubbornness in relying on his talent even though he could rely on his looks, and I like the sincerity he has maintained even after he became famous."

Su Xiaoxiao caught her best friend's whistle and exclaimed, "Wow, sis, what else could this description be but love?"

"But..." Su Yiyi hesitated, "Shouldn't love be...more passionate? The kind where your heart races, your face flushes, and a day apart feels like three autumns?"

"That's the kind of love you see in idol dramas." Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Real-life love, especially adult love, is often gentler and more enduring. Your admiration, tenderness, and desire to be good to him are already very obvious signs."

Su Yiyi didn't say anything, she just buried her face in the water.

Su Xiaoxiao said irritably, "I peed."

Su Yiyi looked up, wiped her face, and then playfully slapped her younger sister: "Still the same as when you were little?"

"I didn't actually pee," Su Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Su Yiyi asked, "And what about you? What do you feel about Wang Bo? He's your blind date."

The question turned out to be abrupt, but Su Xiaoxiao was clearly prepared.

"I do have feelings for him," she said frankly. "He's handsome, talented, and has a good personality. In particular, he hasn't become arrogant after becoming famous, which is rare, but—"

She held up one finger: "I'm still a long way from having a boyfriend. At least for now, he's first and foremost an artist to me, then a friend, and only lastly can I consider other roles."
