Gu Xun and Han Yufan lounged in the exclusive cigar bar.
Han Yufan raised an eyebrow.
"Something's been bothering you, Gu Xun. Spit it out."
Gu Xun puffed on his cigar, exhaling slowly.
"I have a secret crush."
Han Yufan's eyes widened.
"On who?"
Gu Xun's voice dropped to a whisper.
"Yun Shishi."
Han Yufan's expression changed from surprise to intrigue.
"Yun Shishi? Jiang Jian's friend?"
Gu Xun nodded.
"The one. I know it's complicated."
Han Yufan leaned in.
"Tell me more."
Gu Xun's eyes sparkled.
"Her wit, intelligence... she's captivating."
Han Yufan chuckled.
"And you're smitten."
Gu Xun's face turned serious.
"I am. But it's futile. She sees me as a friend."
Han Yufan's expression turned thoughtful.
"Maybe it's time to take a risk, Gu Xun."

*Gu Xun's Cooking Calamity*
Gu Xun decided to impress Yun Shishi with a homemade dinner.
He scrolled through recipes, settling on beef stir-fry.
"Simple enough," he thought.
As he chopped vegetables, Gu Xun's phone rang.
Yun Shishi's voice echoed through the speaker.
"Hey, Gu Xun! What's up?"
"Just cooking dinner," Gu Xun replied, trying to sound suave.
Yun Shishi giggled.
"Are you burning the kitchen?"
Gu Xun's eyes widened as he inspected the smoke-filled room.
"Uh, no... just... ambiance."
The doorbell rang.
Yun Shishi arrived, laughing at the smoky chaos.
Gu Xun stood, covered in flour and soy sauce stains.
"You should've ordered takeout," Yun Shishi teased.
Gu Xun grinned and pointed at himself
"If this young master wants to cook he'll cook even if it means buying the whole supermarket to cook."
Yun Shishi bowed " Yes young master Gu you're the richest."
Yun Shishi's expression turned funny.
