After a brief eye contact with Lu Huai, He Liunian calmly accepted the condiment box he was offered.

"Thanks to you for taking care of Wanwan these days."

“The hospital has been busy lately, with dozens of surgeries performed in a row, so I haven’t been able to find time to visit her or cook for her.”

"I never expected that this heartless little thing would secretly find someone to share an apartment with without telling me."

As she spoke, He Liunian looked at Lu Huai with gentle eyes, "I didn't know you were here before I came, so I didn't bring you any mooncakes. When I go to the supermarket to replenish Wanwan's refrigerator later, I'll buy some mooncakes of your favorite flavor."

Faced with He Liunian's blatant declaration of sovereignty, Lu Huai remained calm and indifferent.

"No need, Qin Wan and I have the same taste."

He Liunian paused in his stir-frying, his grip on the spatula tightened, and he glanced up at Lu Huai.

In mid-air, their eyes met...

He Liunian smiled faintly, "It seems you are indeed very good at taking care of people."

"I can't compare to Mr. He."

A delicious and visually appealing dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was served, and He Liunian immediately handed Lu Huai a pair of chopsticks.

Would you like to try some?

Lu Huai smiled politely, "Let Qin Wan eat first, she's been waiting for a long time."

Upon hearing this, He Liunian stared at him for a few seconds. Just as they brushed past each other, a familiar male voice reached Lu Huai's ears.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to be your enemy."

Lu Huai's expression changed slightly. He turned around and stared at He Liunian's departing figure for a long, long time...

First it was Xie Zijue...

Now we have He Liunian...

Qin Wan, just how many people are thinking about you?

In the living room.

Seeing He Liunian walking alone, Qin Wan looked behind him in surprise.

"Where's Lu Huai? Didn't he go in to help? Why haven't we seen him come out?"

"I don't know." He Liunian shrugged, then placed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of Qin Wan.

"Are you hungry? Go and eat something to fill your stomach."

A familiar fragrance wafted towards me, lingering around my nose for a long time.

After taking the chopsticks from He Liunian, Qin Wan immediately looked towards the kitchen.

Why aren't they out yet?

Why are you hiding in the kitchen?

After noticing Qin Wan's interest in Lu Huai, He Liunian lowered his eyes to conceal the changing emotions within them.

"Does Wanwan really like this Lu Huai?" He Liunian suddenly asked.

"She's a really great roommate," Qin Wan said seriously after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, He Liunian looked at her with a complicated expression but remained silent.

Just roommates?

turn out to be……

He's just a great roommate.

Lu Huai appeared at the kitchen doorway at some point, his gaze fixed on Qin Wan.

Looking at Qin Wan, who was happily eating with He Liunian in the living room...

They seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Thinking about what Qin Wan had just said.

[Lu Huai's favorability decreased by 10, current favorability is 80.]

It turns out, it really was just his wishful thinking...

Did she have absolutely no romantic feelings for him?

"Lu Huai, what are you standing there for? Come and eat something."

Qin Wan spotted Lu Huai and beckoned him to come over quickly.

After quickly composing himself, Lu Huai walked towards Qin Wan.

"I cooked some noodles that you like."

"Lu Huai, you're so kind." Qin Wan said with a look of surprise as she looked at the noodles Lu Huai handed her.

Seeing her radiant smile, Lu Huai curled his lips and glanced indifferently at He Liunian.

He Liunian: "..."

"Sit down and eat with us."

"Try my scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Wanwan's favorite." As she spoke, He Liunian gently placed the scrambled eggs into Lu Huai's bowl.

Lu Huai: "..."

Qin Wan ignored the two men's confrontation and enjoyed her meal while pondering Lu Huai's favorability rating.

Even though it reached 100, it still fell down.

In other words, Lu Huai did not truly fall in love with her.

His feelings for her were probably mostly possessive.

Or perhaps, before Lu Huai was certain of her feelings, he still held back some of his love for her.

Lost in thought, Qin Wan unconsciously handed the bowl to Lu Huai.

Her action surprised both men present.

Qin Wan said casually, "Add some chili sauce for me."

"Okay." Lu Huai responded gently, took the bowl from her, and got up to go to the kitchen.

Watching their intimate interaction, He Liunian lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table, lost in thought.

After finishing their meal, while the supermarket was still open, He Liunian took Qin Wan and Lu Huai to a nearby supermarket for a stroll.

After buying some simple groceries and replenishing household supplies, He Liunian finally managed to get Qin Wan home safely before reluctantly saying goodbye.

"It's late, I should go back now. Take good care of yourself." As he spoke, He Liunian reached out and touched Qin Wan's head, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"I will. Besides, I still have Lu Huai. He will take good care of me."

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, He Liunian paused in stroking her head, then withdrew his hand without a word.

"Then I'll head back now and get some rest."

Okay, bye-bye.

After seeing He Liunian off, Qin Wan turned around and saw Lu Huai appear behind her at some point.

Startled, she instinctively took a step back and patted her chest lightly. "Where did you come from? You scared me!"

Lu Huai said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's nothing," Qin Wan waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

"By the way, He Liunian just said he's inviting us to his house for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you free then?"

Mid-Autumn Festival……

Upon hearing those three words, Lu Huai's expression faltered for a moment.

"Lu Huai?"

Qin Wan waved her hand in front of Lu Huai, trying to pull him back to his senses.

"No need, I have something to do that day," Lu Huai said calmly, coming back to his senses.

"...What brings you here for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qin Wan frowned, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"It's late, get some rest." Lu Huai gave her a faint smile, then turned and went back to his room without saying a word, leaving her standing there alone with her brows furrowed.

Something's not right.

Lu Huai's reaction was very strange.

After returning to her room, Qin Wan couldn't resist going to find Lu Huai and knocking on his door.

Unfortunately, the person inside seemed to be asleep, and there was no response for a long time.

Qin Wan's lips twitched: "..." This man is at it again.

"Asleep?" Qin Wan asked tentatively from outside the door.

“…Hmm.” Just as Qin Wan thought Lu Huai wouldn’t answer her and was about to turn and leave, a familiar male voice came from inside the door.

Qin Wan: "..."

"Lu Huai, are you alright?"

Although I was speechless at his childish behavior, I still had to show him the care I needed to show.

"It's okay, it's late, you should get some rest too, goodnight."

As he spoke, with a "click," the light shining through the crack in the door went out completely.

Seeing this, Qin Wan said no more and turned back into her room.

Unable to fall asleep, Qin Wan tossed and turned in bed and couldn't resist taking out her phone to send Lu Huai a WeChat message.

Qin Wan: "Why are you unhappy?"

The message was sent but never received a reply, as if it had sunk without a trace...
