It was getting late, so Ning Yizhan went into the kitchen and cooked two bowls of noodles. He went to the master bedroom and knocked on the door, saying, "Come out and have something to eat." He went back to the living room before Qiu Hu could open the door.

Qiu Hu was lying in bed when she suddenly heard Ning Yizhan knocking on the door. She jumped up and heard him calling her to eat. Did calling her to eat mean he wouldn't be angry anymore? She opened the door happily, but there was no one outside.

"..." She moved and walked out, seeing Ning Yizhan sitting at the dining table, already eating noodles. He wasn't waiting for her; she was still angry. But she still walked out, forcefully pulling out a chair, which made a loud noise.

She glanced at him a few times, but the man didn't look at her.

She slowly lowered her head and began to eat the noodles with her chopsticks. It had been a long time since she had eaten them, and they tasted really delicious.

Seeing that Ning Yizhan was almost finished eating, the two of them did not exchange a word.

Qiu Hu made a suggestive remark, "Ning Yizhan, my parents don't live in K country."

"I guessed it."

"Oh," Qiu Hu thought he knew too; he was so smart, he must know.

Another silence fell. Qiu Hu sighed inwardly. This man was so hard to coax this time, and Ning Yizhan's noodles were almost gone.

After a few bites, Ning Yizhan's bowl was empty of noodles. He finished his soup and stood up.

A voice came from above Qiu Hu's head, "I advise you to wait a while before looking for your parents. Colin's men are definitely watching you now."

"Okay," Qiu Hu agreed without even thinking about what he was saying, until she realized it was about her parents. Her eyes crinkled with a smile as she asked, "You're concerned about me?"

"No," Ning Yizhan said, and went into the kitchen.

Hearing him speak to her, she felt the noodles in her bowl tasted even better. Smiling, she picked up noodles and put them in her mouth. Even Ning Yizhan, who came out from inside, noticed and wondered what made her so happy.

Getting back to the main point, Qiu Hu was also considering whether to do what Ning Yizhan suggested. Since Ning Yizhan had said so, she made up her mind to wait a while before making a decision.

Ning Yizhan sat on the living room sofa, staring at Qiu Hu's back as she ate noodles for more than ten minutes. When he saw her finally stand up and walk into the kitchen, he also stood up, walked behind her, and went into the kitchen.

He walked to the kitchen door and saw Qiu Hu squeezing dish soap into a bowl. He wanted to go over and help, so he said, "Let me do it."

Qiu Hu was startled to find Ning Yizhan behind her. Her hand slipped, and "thud!" A bowl fell to the ground, creating a spectacular sight. "..." She was now not only a kitchen idiot but also a bowl and chopstick killer.

She instinctively squatted down to pick up the broken pieces, but Ning Yizhan stopped her, saying, "I'll do it, you go out first."

Ning Yizhan frowned. Why would he just pick it up like that? Wasn't there a broom in the corner?

Ning Yizhan wouldn't let her touch it, so she stood up, stepped back behind the door, and watched as Ning Yizhan picked up a broom from the corner, swept up the broken pieces, poured them into the trash can, then pulled in a pomelo and started washing the dishes.

Watching his busy figure, she felt a little disappointed. "Am I really useless?"

Ning Yizhan heard her speaking, but didn't understand what she was saying, so he asked, "What did you say?"

"No," he said, then walked away from the kitchen and returned to the master bedroom.

Ning Yizhan came out but could no longer see her, so he went back to the second bedroom.

Having just returned to China, both of them had a lot of work piled up, and it was already very late when they got back. Apart from seeing each other once in the morning and once in the evening, the two of them basically had no contact.

Several days passed, and Qiu Hu finally realized that they had hardly spent more than half an hour in one space these past few days, which was very suspicious! She would definitely go home early today.

Ayi's condition gradually improved. Bored at home, he brought Wei Zhouyu to the Qiu family today and sat in Qiu Hu's office for the whole afternoon. In the evening, he wanted to ask Qiu Hu to go out. "Miss, let's go out tonight!"

"No, I'm not going," she said, wanting to go home early tonight. "Besides, you've only just recovered, and you're already going out to play!"

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury. You already agreed, so why don’t you go out and have some fun? Go ahead!” A-Yi always asks Qiu Hu before going out.

"I'm not going."

"If you don't want to go, then you don't want to go," A-Yi was rejected by Qiu Hu again, which he was already used to.

Ayi chatted with her for a few more minutes before turning on his phone to play duo queue with Wei Zhouyu.

After they finished talking, the office fell silent.

"Ayi, how do you coax a man?" Qiu Hu had been thinking about this question all day, and it just so happened that Ayi was here too, with much more dating experience than her.

When Ayi heard the question, her pupils dilated in shock. What huge secret had she overheard? "Huh? You're going to coax a man? Are you sure you can do it? What's wrong? Is Ning Yizhan angry with you?"

"uh-huh".

"That depends on what you're angry about. Small things are easy to handle, like saying a few kind words, or maybe a kiss, or something like that..."

But she had tried everything Ayi suggested, with only so-so results, so she tentatively asked, "What if it's something big?"

"Big deal? It depends on the reason, but the simplest way is~" Ayi put down his phone and covered Wei Zhouyu's ears next to him, "...sleep with him!"

Qiu Hu: "..."

"What is it?" Wei Zhouyu asked curiously. She was listening perfectly well, so why were they covering her ears? They were all good friends and family, was there anything she couldn't hear? She got angry, but neither of them paid any attention to her.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Yes, take things slowly, there will always be a solution." Ayi twirled his head and index finger in the air.

This statement seems to have been said but not really said.

"Hahaha, Qiu Hu, I didn't expect there was someone who could handle you. I have to admire Ning Yizhan in this regard." A Yi usually called her Miss, only calling her by her name when she was teasing Qiu Hu or angry with Qiu Hu. Qiu Hu had told her a long time ago that she should just call her by her name, but she still preferred to call Qiu Hu Miss. Qiu Hu would always be her Miss.
