The next morning, when Shen Ran woke up, there was no one beside him. He had forgotten to close the curtains before sleeping, and now, sunlight reflected off the distant sea, streaming through the bright window and hitting his eyelids. The glare disturbed him, forcing him to open his eyes. He lay there for a while, staring blankly at the ceiling, before his mind finally cleared. When he tried to sit up as he usually would, a sharp soreness spread through his waist, making him pause. Reaching back to…-

Zhao Jiyu had been watching him closely and didn’t miss even the slightest reaction in his eyes. Just as Zhao Jiyu was about to lean in and touch those lips, the male lead in the movie they were watching suddenly honked a car horn. The sound startled Shen Ran, making him turn his head. Zhao Jiyu's lips barely missed his cheek, instead landing against his shoulder. The left side of the couch sank slightly under Zhao Jiyu’s weight. Shen Ran glanced at the movie screen before turning back, only to find…-

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…-
