Yan Luoxi gently caressed Zhou Guangtao's face with a heart full of concern; these days her Guangtiao had truly been exhausted. He had endless work to do every day and, even though he was very tired, there wasn't an opportunity for him to rest.

She roughly estimated her own strength and realized that she didn’t have the ability to move him into the house without waking him up.

Yan Luoxi took out a quilt from the bedroom and helped take off his outer clothes and pants, using a warm towel to wipe his face and exposed limbs. She also took out his phone and placed it aside.

The next morning when Zhou Guangtao woke up, sunlight filtered through the curtains behind him, with light green curtains filtering out the strong rays of sunlight, creating a gentle glow that fell on the sofa.

He slightly turned his head to see Yan Luoxi preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She wore an apron tied around her waist and was busy with some rosy hues blooming on her cheeks; her bangs were messy and a few strands of black hair had slipped out from the bun, falling softly onto her fair and delicate neck. A slight smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, exuding a hint of feminine charm.

Yan Luoxi had nimble yet magical hands that could turn ordinary food into delicious dishes, easily satisfying his appetite.

Zhou Guangtao lay on the sofa for a while longer. Clusters of white chrysanthemums blooming fiercely below the long window emitted a fragrant aroma; birds chirped outside, highlighting the serene beauty and tranquility inside the room. Gazing at his beloved busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for him, he felt that this life was an enjoyment.

Such tranquil and happy moments were enjoyed by Zhou Guangtao only briefly. Now there were still many things to do; he and Yan Luoxi had a long way to go, and the time for leisure would come later.

In the blink of an eye when Yan Luoxi turned around, she inadvertently noticed that Zhou Guangtao had gotten up from the sofa. She quickly came out from the kitchen and asked with concern: "Brother Guangtiao, you drank a lot last night; are you feeling headache"

"Well, a little bit," Zhou Guangtao rubbed his temples and smiled apologetically at Yan Luoxi, "Last night, I troubled you."

Zhou Guangtao's smile was very graceful. His short hair was neat, his teeth were snow-white, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. After sleeping on the sofa all night, he still managed to keep his clothes properly in place.

Yan Luoxi looked at her beloved with delight, "What trouble did I have You didn't cause any disturbance after drinking alcohol; it was just that you are too heavy for me to move you into the bedroom, so you had no choice but to sleep on the sofa."

Zhou Guangtao sighed in relief and touched his newly grown beard stubble, "I will wash up first. Then let's have breakfast together."

"Okay," Yan Luoxi nodded and returned to the kitchen.

Even though they lived together and worked at the same company, there weren't many opportunities for them to eat breakfast leisurely due to their busy schedules. Knowing that Zhou Guangtao's stomach was upset after a night of heavy drinking, Yan Luoxi only prepared plain porridge with side dishes for him, fearing he would feel hungry early in the morning so she also baked two slices of bread for him.

Her slender waist was embraced by long and strong arms; fresh breath brushed against her back, "Luoxi, let's go out to have breakfast from now on. You don't need to get up so early; it's too tiring."

Yan Luoxi cheerfully turned around, hugged Zhou Guangtao's waist, buried her head in his embrace and rubbed against him playfully, "I'm happy to serve you."

"You're willing to do so, but I feel reluctant about it!" Zhou Guangtao understood Yan Luoxi's thoughtfulness and tenderly stroked her face. Then he leaned down and kissed her.

As she drank the porridge, Yan Luoxi once again recalled what Zhou Guangtao had said last night upon his return home. After pondering it over, she said, "Brother Guangtao, do you... Do you still remember what you told me about Rain Fan's accommodation"

Zhou Guangtao pondered briefly and then answered straightforwardly: "I remember saying she can't live in our house."

Yesterday after hearing Zhou Guangtao's words, Yan Luoxi lay down to think about it carefully. She felt that for Zhou Guangtao's sake, having He Yufan stay at her place wasn’t very convenient, but if not here, where could she go alone

In her heart, she had a sense of gratitude and righteousness, and during school days, He Yufan had helped her a lot. It was only natural for her to help now that He Yufan has come over for work.

Thinking about He Yufan having nowhere to live made Yan Luoxi lose her appetite and worry endlessly.

Seeing Yan Luoxi's worried expression, Zhou Guangtao comforted her by gently pinching her cheek. "Don't worry about her. Even if she doesn’t stay with us, you can still show your care and enthusiasm through other means. You could rent a small apartment near our place for her, and the company will pay the rent. Would that work"

"Yes, this is an excellent idea!" Yan Luoxi happily leaned forward to kiss Zhou Guangtao on the cheek.

She felt the goodness of Zhou Guangtao every moment. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness, his understanding and gentleness were gradually seeping into her heart.

With Zhou Guangtao's special approval, Yan Luoxi began to use her free time after work to search for suitable housing near her neighborhood for He Yufan.

Renting a place isn't easy but also not too difficult.

In such an bustling and densely populated city, finding a place was relatively simple. However, it wasn’t so easy to find one that met all the requirements of location, layout, security, and price.

Yan Luoxi initially entrusted this matter to an intermediary, but the houses shown by the intermediary every day did not meet her expectations. After running for three consecutive days without finding a suitable place, she became anxious.

He Yufan was about to arrive; how could there be no place for him to stay!

This Friday, she boldly took a day off and spent the entire day looking for an apartment for He Yufan.

After fruitlessly searching in the morning, Yan Luoxi was drenched in sweat and starving. She found herself near her own neighborhood, within a well-located residential area. She entered a nearby supermarket to buy a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water, then sat down in the community garden to munch on them.

Yan Luoxi was sitting under the shade drinking bottled water when she accidentally looked up and saw that someone on the tenth floor or so had put up a "for rent" notice. She immediately threw her bottle of water into a nearby trash can and sprinted upstairs.

Huffing and puffing, she reached door A of apartment 12F and rang the doorbell.

Luckily, someone was home, and the door opened after a few rings.

Standing at the doorway was an elegant middle-aged woman. She was tall with her hair tied up into a bun, dressed in a loose green dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Her makeup was impeccable, and she exuded an aura of superiority from long years of privilege.

Yan Luoxi barely noticed the woman's appearance; instead, her eyes rapidly scanned the room—an elegant one-bedroom apartment with full furnishings and appliances, most importantly it seemed to be a brand new place that had never been lived in before.

Ecstatic, she quickly asked: "May I ask how much you're renting this place for"g to look up but staring at some spot on the ground instead.Suddenly she heard Li An’s voice: "Alright then, stop feeling ashamed of yourself; being able to reflect on your actions is what makes you a...
