After struggling so much in the middle of the night, it was almost 4 o'clock when Qiao Ange went to bed.

She set an alarm clock for 8 o'clock because she promised Qin Zhe to go early.

But early the next morning, she was woken up not by the alarm clock, but by a pinging sound.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty and saw Pei Yi coming out of the room. She didn't know whether it was because she was dizzy or because her legs were not working properly, but she kicked things on the ground everywhere.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Ange sat up from the sofa.

Pei Yi stood up holding the wall and coughed slightly awkwardly: "I want to drink water."

His current expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong. Qiao Ange smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face: "Don't move, I will pour it for you."

Qiao Ange poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table, looked back at him and said, "I have to go to the store early today. Are you going out with me, or -"

Qiao Ange stopped mid-sentence. He drank too much last night and couldn't help it. After that, she really shouldn't let him stay here again.

Although she has not yet made clear her relationship with Qin Zhe, it is really a matter of principle to accept his pursuit while leaving other men at home.

"You wash up, wait a minute... let's go have breakfast together."

By the way, it’s time to continue talking about what we didn’t finish last time.

"No, I can leave by myself." Pei Yi walked to the coffee table and took a sip of water.

He walked very slowly, obviously trying to hide the problem with his legs.

Qiao Ange was stunned for a moment. She thought he would find various excuses to stay here like before, but she didn't expect him to say that he would leave so simply.

This seems a bit unkind to her.

"How about I go buy you breakfast, and then--"

"You get off work at noon and help me feed the cat." Before Qiao Ange finished speaking, Pei Yi said, then pressed his phone a few times, "I sent you the address."

Qiao Ange said quickly: "Not today, I have something to do today."

"Don't you want me to put forward conditions? These are my conditions." Pei Yi glanced at Qiao Ange, and then quickly looked away.

"You just want me to feed the cat?" Qiao Ange looked at him in disbelief, "From now on... we will have nothing to do with you?"

Pei Yi didn't reply to her and had already opened the door and left.

Qiao Ange was stunned in place, unable to figure out what Pei Yi meant.

The alarm clock rang at this time. She came to her senses, quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, changed her clothes and went to the store.

There was a crack at the bottom of the rolling shutter door. Apparently the people inside had opened it specially for her, because it was not yet time to open the door.

The lights in the hall were not turned on and the light was very dim.

She didn't stay long and went straight to the kitchen.

The fan was on and the sound was very loud, but Qin Zhe heard it as soon as she entered.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Qin Zhe smiled softly, took something from the side and handed it to her, "This is for you."

Qiao Ange took it and saw that it was a rose carved from carrots.

"Did you carve it?" She had seen many kinds of carvings by the master of the cold dish room, but she didn't expect Qin Zhe to be able to do it.

"Learned it from Master He, do you like it?"

Qiao Ange nodded: "Yeah."

It's so exquisite, who wouldn't like it?

Qin Zhe didn't say anything else, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

The big pot was boiling porridge, but Qin Zhe fried eggs for Qiao Ange. The white egg whites were shaped into the shape of a heart, and the yolk in the middle was like a smiley face.

Qiao Ange looked at this thing and didn't know what to say. He smiled and said, "Isn't this something for kindergarten children to eat?"

"I just want to pamper you as a child." Qin Zhe sat across from her and looked at her with a look that almost made him tear up.

Qiao Ange didn't know that such a meticulous person could be so deadly when speaking love words.

"Then I...eat?" Qiao Ange looked up at him.

"Um."

There were no forks in the store, so Qiao Ange used chopsticks to pick up a little bit from the edge.

"Is it delicious?" Qin Zhe put his arms on the table and just watched her eat.

"It's delicious." I don't know what he put in it, but it doesn't taste the same as her usual fried eggs.

"Then eat them all, don't leave anything behind." Qin Zhe said, reaching out his hand and gently wiping the corner of her mouth with his thumb a few times.

Qiao Ange stopped even swallowing due to the sudden intimate movement, but she forced herself not to hide.

"I want to tell you something. I get off work at noon and I can't go out with you." Qiao Ange said cautiously, fearing that he would be angry.

"Why?"

"Because..." Qiao Ange didn't know how to explain it. If he said that he wanted to help others feed cats, this reason was too perfunctory. "I have other things."

"Can't it be another day?" Qin Zhe's tone darkened, "Does it have to be today?"

Qiao Ange lowered her head, not daring to look at him: "It must be today."
