Cheng Yao suddenly thought of her older sister Cheng Xi, who was also divorced, and invited her to visit an amusement park together. Perhaps she wanted to better understand the emotional journey of marriage victims to help Bai Xingmeng win her case. That day, they got off work early, and Qian Heng asked Cheng Yao to return to the apartment to prepare dinner. Cheng Yao reminded him that their co-renting agreement only required her to make late-night snacks.

Qian Heng argued that one dinner could offset a whole day’s compensation, so Cheng Yao reluctantly agreed. At the dinner table, Cheng Yao shared many of her thoughts on the case. Qian Heng advised her not to get too close to the client and not to judge things emotionally. To become a good lawyer, she needed to rely on evidence. He also asked Cheng Yao to accompany him to a networking event for young lawyers.

Although Cheng Yao had planned to go to the amusement park with Cheng Xi, she agreed to Qian Heng’s request to fulfill her compensation obligations as soon as possible. To prevent unfamiliar women from approaching him, Qian Heng deliberately brought Cheng Yao to the event. The gathering had two segments—the first was face-to-face communication between young men and women. Many peers whispered when they saw Qian Heng with a woman, asking about their relationship.

During the face-to-face session, Qian Heng responded coldly to questions from several women. Perhaps this was why he remained single—he never wanted to spend any time on women and would even sharply reject those who showed interest in him. At the amusement park, Cheng Xi waited for Cheng Yao for a long time. When she learned that Cheng Yao had to work overtime, she prepared to head home.

Suddenly, she found Wu Jun standing behind her and questioned whether Cheng Yao’s overtime had been arranged on purpose by him. Wu Jun naturally denied it, simply enjoying the moment. The second segment of the networking event was free-pair rowing. Cheng Yao hoped to interact more with promising young lawyers from other firms, but Qian Heng used the year-end bonus as leverage to demand she team up with him.

As they sat in the boat, Qian Heng didn’t move, leaving Cheng Yao to row alone. To finish in the top three and win a 200-yuan prize, Cheng Yao rowed hard. She accidentally dropped the oar into the water, and as the two tried to retrieve it, they both ended up falling in. After coming ashore, Qian Heng was shivering from the cold.

Cheng Yao brought him hot water to warm up, but Qian Heng scolded her not to act kind on purpose and not to expect him to soften and forgive her debt. Then, the two headed to the hotel to change out of their wet clothes. Wu Jun and Cheng Xi went through a haunted house together. Although he had intended to be her protector, he ended up terrified and stunned. After exiting, he stood frozen for a long time.

Once he came to his senses, he explained what had happened at the hotel a few days ago and promised to take responsibility. Before Cheng Xi could reply, Qian Heng called and asked Wu Jun to fetch a set of clothes from his apartment and deliver them to a specific hotel, along with a set of women’s clothes.

When Wu Jun delivered the clothes and saw Qian Heng and Cheng Yao wrapped in towels, he was shocked and questioned what had happened. Qian Heng warned him not to overthink it, stating that Cheng Yao was not his type. Cheng Yao quickly denied any such implication as well. Back at the apartment, while Qian Heng was working late, someone knocked at the door. From the voice, he recognized it as Dong Min, who had been pursuing him.

He hurried back to his room and texted Dong Min, telling her not to disturb his cohabiting girlfriend, hoping she would give up. Curious about Qian Heng’s admirer, Cheng Yao took it upon herself to open the door. Dong Min issued a challenge to Cheng Yao, declaring that Qian Heng would be hers eventually. After Dong Min left, Qian Heng clarified the situation to Cheng Yao. Dong Min was the daughter of a major client.

Although he had already rejected her romantically, she still wouldn’t give up. Cheng Yao also grew suspicious—why would someone like Qian Heng, who had a vacant villa, insist on sharing an apartment with her? What was his true motive? The next day, Cheng Yao found archives from the past three months at the law firm and discovered Qian Heng had been in contact with a psychologist.

She guessed that Qian Heng suffered from frequent insomnia and suddenly realized that his nightly requests for her to prepare snacks and hum tunes were actually a form of hypnosis. Realizing this, Cheng Yao finally felt like she had some control over him, and the thought gave her a sense of satisfaction.
