To avoid an awkward encounter, Cheng Yao deliberately worked overtime at the office until late at night, planning to return home only after Qian Heng had moved out. Qian Heng had wanted to say goodbye to Cheng Yao in person, but after waiting a long time without seeing her return, and with the movers urging him repeatedly, he packed his things and moved out of the apartment.

When Cheng Yao came home late and saw Qian Heng’s room empty, she suddenly felt a sense of loss. Out of habit, she opened the fridge to make a late-night snack, but then remembered Qian Heng had already moved out—who would she go through all that trouble for now? She might as well just eat something simple herself. After making instant noodles, she ate while watching a drama.

Back at the villa, Qian Heng found himself a bit unaccustomed to the silence without Cheng Yao’s constant chatter. Fortunately, he had brought Lemon-kun back with him. Sitting on the sofa, he smiled foolishly at Lemon-kun. A moment later, he felt that Lemon-kun’s gaze was strange, as if it could see through his thoughts.

He flipped it aside and, without realizing it, turned on the TV and started watching dramas—something that had become a habit when he and Cheng Yao were housemates. The next day at work, Cheng Yao took the initiative to greet Qian Heng with a smile, but Qian Heng became awkward and didn’t know how to respond. At lunch, Yu Fei brought food and shared it with Tan Ying since the portions were large.

Cheng Yao had also brought her own lunch. Bao Rui couldn’t find anyone to eat out with and looked around aimlessly. When Cheng Yao opened her lunchbox, the food looked and smelled amazing, and everyone stared at it enviously. Qian Heng also smelled the familiar aroma and unconsciously walked over to Cheng Yao’s desk. Qian Heng asked Cheng Yao to go out and pick up a document.

Cheng Yao wanted to bring her lunchbox and eat on the way, but Qian Heng said the task was urgent and she had to leave immediately. He added that she could eat outside after picking up the document, and the company would reimburse the meal. Cheng Yao had no choice but to give her lunch to Bao Rui. Bao Rui was overjoyed and was about to dig in when Qian Heng’s food delivery arrived at the office.

He placed his own takeaway on Bao Rui’s desk and casually took Cheng Yao’s lunch instead. After eating the meal Cheng Yao had personally made, Qian Heng felt very satisfied. He called Wu Jun to ask about several cases he had previously declined. Wu Jun thought Qian Heng had been acting strange lately and came to the office, but Qian Heng didn’t explain anything. Wu Jun suddenly asked whether Cheng Yao was having an office romance recently.

He had shared a gift ad link on his social media on behalf of a friend, and Cheng Yao had asked him to order one. So Wu Jun speculated she must be in love and demanded Qian Heng reveal who the romantic interest was so he could vet the person for Cheng Xi and make a good impression in front of her. Qian Heng said he didn’t know.

Over the weekend, Qian Heng was working overtime at the villa when Cheng Yao suddenly knocked on the door. When Qian Heng opened it, he saw that Cheng Yao was dressed up stylishly and assumed she had feelings for him. He was about to invite her in when a group of people appeared behind her, unfurling a banner that said, “Happy Birthday, Qian Heng. ” Only then did he remember it was his birthday.

Wu Jun had planned the whole event in advance to surprise him. He also had an ulterior motive—to use Qian Heng’s birthday as an opportunity to meet with Cheng Xi. Lunch was a barbecue held in the yard. The sun was scorching, and everyone was drenched in sweat. Seeing that Cheng Yao was wearing black, which absorbed more heat, Qian Heng asked her to go inside and revise an important document.

Although Cheng Yao was reluctant, she followed Qian Heng into the house and immediately felt cooler, which made her secretly happy. The pizza they had ordered in advance was delivered to the villa, and Qian Heng picked one slice of each flavor and brought them to Cheng Yao’s room. She was very grateful. Qian Heng sat by her side and kept her company while she worked overtime.

Cheng Yao said she could handle it alone, but Qian Heng explained that he had a lot of confidential documents and was worried about leaks.
