It was common for Yu Wen Wen to get drunk. Although he wasn't clear-headed, he could still return to the bathroom to wash himself up without needing another person to help him. Afterwards, he even completed his skin-care routine and slowly headed back to his room.

"He usually isn't like this. He's had too much to drink tonight." Ji Ran picked up the luggage on the ground and threw it at Qin Man. "Your room is over there. Unpack on your own."

Ji Ran didn't have a maid's room as he'd said. He never liked allowing others to stay over and normally only hired some day-time workers to come over to tidy up before leaving.

There weren't many rooms and there were only two guest rooms. One was taken by Yu Wen Wen and the spare was the room beside the master bedroom.

Previously, he had forced Yu Wen Wen to the second floor because he wanted some peace. But now, he had a feeling it might have been better to have Yu Wen Wen sleep in the room next to him instead.

Qin Man calmly caught the bag. "Alright."

Turning around, Ji Ran prepared to return to his room when he remembered something and turned back to remind him. "If you dare disturb me, you can go back to your hostel."

"Okay." Qin Man reached out a hand towards him and revealed the bottle in his hand. "What should I do with this?"

In response, Ji Ran slammed the door shut.

The sound-proofing in the house wasn't bad. There weren't any strange sounds throughout the night so Ji Ran slept peacefully.

The next day, he was awoken by the smell of fried oil.

He didn't know where this smell came from. The sunlight shone through the curtains that weren't properly drawn and onto his face. Ji Ran narrowed his eyes and turned, preparing to go back to sleep.

At the top of his drawer, his phone vibrated softly.

Burying his head in his pillow, he picked it up after a few seconds and brought it in front of his eyes.

It was all messages from Yu Wen Wen but the time stamps were different.

Yu Wen Wen: Little Ran Ran, my head hurts. Those fellows poured too much and I felt terrible the entire night. Did you know I even dreamt of Qin Man... It wasn't any strange dream! I promise!

Yu Wen Wen: ???

Yu Wen Wen: !!! I just went out to get a glass of water! I saw Qin Man? Have I gone crazy? Am I still drunk?

Yu Wen Wen: Fuck.

Yu Wen Wen: Little Ran Ran, I'm leaving. My life is more important. I'm going home to hide. Call me if you need anything.

"..."

Ji Ran yawned and tossed his phone aside, fully intending on going back to sleep when he heard something fall.

He suddenly sat up and threw on a pair of boxers before going out.

Qin Man was standing in the kitchen. He turned back upon hearing movement. "Did I wake you?"

Once he opened the door, the smell of oil grew stronger. Ji Ran finally realised the smell came from his house.

"... What are you doing?" He asked with a frown.

"I'm preparing breakfast for you."

Unscrewing the cap, the smell of burnt food wafted out. "... But obviously I failed."
