The drunken Cheng Yao was helped into the front passenger seat by Qian Heng. He intended to ask her a few questions, but as soon as Cheng Yao opened her mouth, she spewed alcohol all over. Qian Heng was furious and pulled her out of the car. Yet after abandoning the drunken Cheng Yao, he couldn’t bear it. Just then, a delivery courier nearby was picking up a package and had left a large cardboard box.

Qian Heng placed Cheng Yao into the box and asked if she needed his help. Her mind fogged by alcohol, Cheng Yao kept nodding and shaking her head alternately, unable to give a clear answer. Out of professional habit, Qian Heng took a video of the scene on his phone. And so, with Qian Heng driving ahead to lead the way, Cheng Yao was delivered home in a delivery tricycle while sitting inside the box.

Cheng Yao had no strength left. Qian Heng helped pull her out of the box, and due to inertia, she fell right into his face. At such close range, she had to admit—Qian Heng was indeed a very handsome man. His features were well-defined, his nose straight and tall, even his eyelashes had a slight curl. Cheng Yao examined him closely and questioned if he had undergone cosmetic surgery. After that, she passed out on the sofa.

Seeing that she was in no condition to think clearly, Qian Heng decided not to pursue the matter. The next morning, Cheng Yao groggily woke up on the sofa and found Qian Heng sitting upright beside her. Remembering her reckless behavior from the night before, she was overwhelmed with regret. Qian Heng handed her a list, asking her to pay for the help she received the night before.

Cheng Yao glanced at the list and realized that just getting alcohol on his clothes was already beyond her means—after all, Qian Heng wore branded clothing, and she was just an intern with no money. She pleaded to pay in installments. Qian Heng said there was no room for negotiation but offered another way: move back into the rented apartment and become his personal assistant—essentially a plan to solve his insomnia.

Cheng Yao had no other choice but to reluctantly agree. Having seen the threatening letters and items Qian Heng received in the office storeroom, Cheng Yao bought many self-defense tools just in case. That evening, when Qian Heng was about to rest, he signaled for Cheng Yao to prepare a late-night snack. In truth, he just wanted to fall asleep to the sound of her bustling in the kitchen.

But Cheng Yao, feeling grateful for the free accommodation, decided to show appreciation by ordering delivery from a five-star hotel and carefully plating the dishes for a sense of ritual. Not hearing any cooking sounds, Qian Heng couldn’t fall asleep. He came out of the bedroom and saw Cheng Yao plating food, displeased, and demanded she start over. Cheng Yao thought he disliked takeout for being unhealthy and had no choice but to start cooking from scratch.

After a round of busy work, she called Qian Heng to eat, but got no response. She figured he had fallen asleep and didn’t knock again. Unwilling to waste the large spread of food, she ate it all herself. The next day at work, Wu Jun discussed with Qian Heng that until he succeeded in pursuing Cheng Xi, they must maintain a good relationship with Cheng Yao.

He then went to Cheng Yao’s desk and advised her to do a good job as Qian Heng’s assistant. Since Qian Heng wasn’t great at interacting with people, Cheng Yao should complement that. He also told her she could get reimbursed for some daily expenses, which made Cheng Yao very happy. As she was leaving the office, Cheng Yao saw two men tugging at Qian Heng in front of the office building.

Thinking they were attackers, she took out her pepper spray and sprayed them in a flurry. Qian Heng rushed to stop her and explained that the two men were his mother’s bodyguards. The whole situation was both ridiculous and exasperating. Back home, Qian Heng’s mother was lying in bed pretending to be ill. In fact, she just wanted her son to spend more time at home. Qian Heng saw right through her act and exposed her directly.

His mother admitted that she was genuinely worried about his health—his poor sleep and irregular routine had created a vicious cycle. Qian Heng promised her he would adjust his lifestyle within a few months. Wu Jun finally got a chance to meet with Cheng Xi. He vividly remembered their high school days—once while running with Cheng Xi on the school track, he collapsed from exhaustion and it was Cheng Xi who carried him to the infirmary.

Cheng Xi had arranged their meeting at a vegetable market. Wu Jun arrived early, and when Cheng Xi finally appeared, his eyes lit up—she was still as beautiful as ever. To thank Wu Jun for helping get Cheng Yao into the firm, Cheng Xi invited him to dinner. After a few drinks, Wu Jun became emotional and lost control of his body. Once again, it was Cheng Xi who helped him out of the restaurant.

The next morning, Wu Jun woke up in a hotel, with a faint fragrance on the pillow beside him and 500 yuan on the nightstand. It was likely left by Cheng Xi. He had no recollection of what had happened the night before.
