Wu Jun excitedly told Qian Heng about his recent experience. Although he was happy to have met Cheng Xi, he mostly felt upset because he couldn’t remember what had happened the previous night. He hated his poor tolerance for alcohol—blacking out at such a blissful moment. Too embarrassed to call Cheng Xi and ask, Wu Jun confided in Qian Heng, who teased him and threatened to expose the story on social media. Wu Jun naturally refused.

The two playfully scuffled in the office, all of which was seen by Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao began to suspect that Qian Heng might have some peculiar preferences. She asked Tan Ying, who sat nearby. Tan Ying explained that it was nothing unusual—they were close and often bickered like that. Wu Jun also suggested a remedy for Qian Heng’s insomnia: sit on the toilet for forty minutes before bed.

Back at the apartment, Qian Heng tried Wu Jun’s method and sat in the bathroom for a long time, but still felt no sign of sleepiness once he returned to his bedroom. Meanwhile, Cheng Yao secretly timed him from the living room, assuming Qian Heng was suffering from work-related stress and constipation. She kindly reminded him that eating more fruit could help relieve it. Qian Heng was confused and warned her not to meddle in his business.

Soon after, Cheng Yao stuck little notes on the toilet with tips for improving bowel movement. Qian Heng was both amused and exasperated. All these signs made Cheng Yao even more convinced that Qian Heng had some secret. One night, when Qian Heng went out jogging, Cheng Yao followed him to uncover the truth. But Qian Heng quickly noticed and left her behind. She sat on the roadside, panting. On his way back, Qian Heng confronted her about stalking him.

Cheng Yao explained that she simply wanted to understand him better. Seeing how energetic she was, Qian Heng decided to let her join in on a current stalking case to prevent her from doing anything even more ridiculous. The next day, Qian Heng took Cheng Yao to meet Bai Xingmeng, a celebrity filing for divorce, who happened to be one of Cheng Yao’s favorite stars. After a brief conversation, Cheng Yao escorted Bai Xingmeng out of the office.

Her every gesture left a good impression on the actress. That evening, back at the apartment, Cheng Yao began preparing a late-night snack for Qian Heng early on. Seeing her busy, Qian Heng told her to start half an hour later and to use the same ingredients and hum the same tune as a few nights ago. After giving these instructions, he quickly returned to his room to handle some work.

Half an hour later, he shut down his computer and lay in bed. In the living room, Cheng Yao began humming a little tune, and Qian Heng soon drifted off to sleep. In the middle of the night, Qian Heng woke up. Although disappointed that he hadn’t slept straight through till morning, he was still satisfied. Feeling a bit hungry, he went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and ate the late-night snack Cheng Yao had made.

After finishing, he was about to return to his room when he saw Cheng Yao asleep at her computer. He woke her up. Disturbed in her sleep, Cheng Yao was a bit displeased. Qian Heng offered to let her ask some case-related questions as a token of appreciation, which immediately sparked her interest. With Qian Heng’s guidance, Cheng Yao came up with a new approach to the case and retrieved transaction records of the involved company from the Market Regulation Bureau.

When they met Bai Xingmeng again, Qian Heng suggested delaying the divorce filing by six months. If the other party’s company successfully went public, they could negotiate for greater financial compensation. However, Bai Xingmeng declined his suggestion and insisted on proceeding immediately. Qian Heng respected her decision and asked Cheng Yao to continue working with her directly. Bai Xingmeng had a very good impression of Cheng Yao and shared how she fell in love and got married.

At first, she was swept away by happiness, only to realize after marriage that her husband was merely exploiting her resources. These were things she had no one to confide in, so talking to Cheng Yao brought her some relief. Wu Jun found a puppy to keep Cheng Xi company. While the two were happily chatting, Qian Heng called Wu Jun, urging him to rush back to the office.

When they met, Qian Heng couldn’t wait to share the news that he had slept soundly through the night. Wu Jun was both amused and exasperated but genuinely happy for his friend.
