Shen Ran changed into his indoor slippers and walked over to sit beside Zhao Jiyu. Only at this close distance did he notice that Zhao Jiyu had already finished more than half a bottle of wine. His robe hung loosely, revealing a patch of fair skin at his chest, with a faint trace of red near the edge of the fabric. Shen Ran averted his gaze, looking instead at the movie playing on the screen.“When did you get back?” he asked. “A little before you,”Zhao Jiyu replied lazily. His eyes fell on…-

After sending the message, Shen Ran never got a reply—not even by the time he woke up the next morning. At the convenience store that morning, Xu Tian asked why she hadn’t seen Zhao Jiyu in the past two days. At that moment, Shen Ran was adding ingredients to the simmering oden pot, but his hand slipped, and he got scalded by the boiling broth. Xu Tian assumed he had just been careless and quickly pulled out some burn ointment. As she was applying it to his hand, Shen Ran suddenly noticed…-

On the way back, Shen Ran kept staring out of the window on his side, not saying a word to Zhao Jiyu. Zhao Jiyu glanced at him several times. Even when they stopped at a red light and he changed the music, Shen Ran remained motionless, as if he had fallen asleep. But Zhao Jiyu could see the occasional flicker of his eyelashes. When they arrived home and changed their shoes, Shen Ran said he was going to shower and sleep first. Zhao Jiyu stopped him,"Wait a second—I asked Lao Wu to buy some Chinese…-

When Zhao Jiyu sat back down, Shen Ran could still hear him whispering to the girl beside him. Shen Ran couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but the way the two leaned in close reminded him of yesterday at the shop—Zhao Jiyu and Xu Tian had seemed just as naturally familiar with each other. A whistle blew on the court, and Shen Ran turned to watch. The blue team's center grabbed the ball first, passing it to the small forward for an attack. The yellow team intercepted it, and the ball…-

The straw brushed against the middle of his lips, and Shen Ran instinctively parted them slightly. Zhao Jiyu pushed the straw in further until it hit his teeth. Only then did Shen Ran react, quickly taking the cup himself. From his turned profile, Zhao Jiyu could tell he was feeling awkward again. A slight curve lifted the corner of Zhao Jiyu’s mouth as he took a sip of his own coffee. On the court, the yellow team had just completed a fast break, scoring two points first. Cheers erupted in the…-

Just as the words fell by his ear, the girl who had been filming suddenly turned around. When she saw the overly intimate posture between him and Zhao Jiyu, her expression held a hint of curiosity. Zhao Jiyu straightened up naturally, as if he hadn't noticed the girl's inquisitive gaze at all. He asked Shen Ran again,"Do you want one?" The surroundings were brightly lit by the lights strung between the stalls. Shen Ran's slightly flushed face had nowhere to hide. He muttered a quick "No" and started…-

"How did you get in touch with him?"Shen Ran asked in surprise. "A friend of mine knows a real estate agent and helped me find him."Zhao Jiyu turned right at the intersection and merged into traffic before continuing,"The landlord's surname is Liu. He's currently in the hospital." Recalling how the landlord had seemed perfectly fine when they met last week, Shen Ran asked,"Why is he hospitalized?" Zhao Jiyu glanced at him."Take a guess. I bet you won't figure it out." Shen Ran disliked being…-

While Shen Ran debated whether to invite Zhao Jiyu to the game, Zhao Jiyu was sitting in front of his computer, reviewing project documents sent by Lao Tang. When he woke up in the morning, Shen Ran had already left for work. Lao Wu, as usual, sent a message asking what he wanted for lunch. Zhao Jiyu asked for a simple bowl of clear noodle soup with just a fried egg and vegetables. Lao Wu responded with a question mark, then asked if he wanted to add anything else. He replied no. Lao Wu's chat status…-

Shen Ran found it strange, but Zhao Jiyu’s expression was completely natural, as if that simple bowl of noodles really did outshine all the rich dishes on the table. He kept his head down, eating bite after bite. The question on the tip of Shen Ran’s tongue was swallowed back down as a new thought came to mind. Maybe Zhao Jiyu was genuinely tired of rich food, and a simple, light dish felt refreshing. It was like feeling nauseous at the sight of a cream cake after eating too much. With that in…-

During the two-hour meeting, Zhao Jiyu roughly understood why Zhao Xian wanted to push for his engagement with Yu Xuetong. The project involved enough capital, connections, and influence to determine the company's expansion speed this year. Given Zhao Xinhong and Yu Bo’s decades-long relationship, once the cooperation was established, there shouldn’t be any major issues. Zhao Xian's urgency likely stemmed from a fear that his two brothers would want a share of the profits. Originally, Zhao Xian's…-
