6 PM.

Young Apartment.

Zhao Heng had already moved all his belongings into the apartment provided by the Eastern Hospital, and he had returned the house on the other side of the village within the city.

This could be considered a new beginning.

After all, a house symbolizes a home.

"Is this all you have?"

Xu Man Ni, standing in the living room, looked at the things Zhao Heng moved in that afternoon and couldn't help but say in surprise.

All that was in the living room was a suitcase, a set of bedding, a whole box of books, a large bag of clothes, and nothing else.

These things didn't even fill a corner of the living room.

"Yeah, living alone doesn't require much stuff."

Zhao Heng nodded and said calmly.

Having fewer things is naturally due to being poor; there's nothing much to say about it.

"Then there's quite a lot to buy, you need a sofa set, a bed in the bedroom, and one for the guest room. A coffee table in the living room, kitchen utensils, oh dear, you need to buy quite a lot."

Xu Man Ni counted based on her own lifestyle habits, almost everything needed buying because Zhao Heng had practically nothing.

"Man Ni, let's discuss it later. Tomorrow, let's buy a bed first, and just get a simple sofa and a coffee table. I think that's enough."

Zhao Heng said.

If he really got everything complete, the 20,000 or less he had would be spent, and when his parents brought relatives over in a couple of days, there'd be no money left.

So he planned to keep expenses under 5,000.

"You're going to live there yourself; how can you just settle? I have a friend who's the general manager of Ikea on Wuyi Road. I'll take you, get a good and affordable set. I'll cover the cost first; you can pay me back when you get your salary."

Xu Man Ni sensitively noticed Zhao Heng was a bit short on money, her cleverness made her naturally aware of considering Zhao Heng's dignity at this time. Directly giving money wouldn't work, but this approach was better.

It has to be said, Xu Man Ni, with her beauty, a great figure, and caring nature, is the dream girlfriend for most men!

No wonder so many men have their minds blown by Xu Man Ni, yet still pursue her relentlessly.

"Well, didn't you call me sister? Just for that, I've decided for you."

Seeing Zhao Heng not answering immediately, Xu Man Ni continued decisively, as if she was going to decide for Zhao Heng.

"Hmm, thank you, sister."

With Xu Man Ni's words reaching this point, saying anything more would be Zhao Heng being too sensitive.

Xu Man Ni's consideration for his feelings made Zhao Heng feel warm inside.

"That's right, we need to buy the furniture tomorrow, how about crashing at my place tonight?"

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

"That's not convenient... "

Zhao Heng hesitated to say.

"What's inconvenient? I haven't said it's inconvenient, now you're being sensitive."

Xu Man Ni laughed and said.

Though she liked Zhao Heng, she wasn't at the point of offering herself into someone's room at night, so this was just normal borrowing.

"Hmm, okay."

Zhao Heng nodded.

He felt Xu Man Ni was being so good to him, this kindness left him unsure of how to repay her.

"Sister, you're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you."

After a pause, Zhao Heng said.

"What repayment? If you were to offer yourself, I'd feel shortchanged."

Xu Man Ni laughed and teased.

With her biggest competitor Song Chen going abroad, with Xu Man Ni quietly treating Zhao Heng so well, in her mind, Zhao Heng was already caught in her web.

After all, who could refuse a beauty with a great figure, taking care of you in detail, and being so considerate?!

Refusing would probably mean they're not a man.

"Then how about I treat you to dinner, sister? What would you like to eat?"

Zhao Heng thought and suggested.

"Eating too much at night isn't good, let's just grab some teppanyaki, I know a good teppanyaki place."

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then let's go."

Zhao Heng nodded, though teppanyaki is a bit pricey, two people eating would at most cost a little over a thousand, which he could handle at the moment.

"Yeah, let's go."

Xu Man Ni laughed happily and naturally took Zhao Heng's arm as they left the apartment.

It was 6 PM, just when hospital staff were heading home from work, so many hospital staff saw Xu Man Ni holding Zhao Heng's arm as they left the apartment.

However, those who saw them weren't surprised, as everyone at the Eastern Hospital knew Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni were close.

Along the way, Xu Man Ni kept smiling as she greeted her colleagues from the hospital.

Half an hour later.

Xu Man Ni and Zhao Heng arrived at the teppanyaki place she mentioned, Xu Man Ni presented her black gold membership card, and the waiter immediately arranged a nice window seat.

As for Zhao Heng, he had never been to such a high-end place to eat.

But even though he hadn't been, Zhao Heng wasn't daunted; in the end, it's just a place to eat, no matter its packaging it can't escape that essence.

Xu Man Ni held onto Zhao Heng, and they followed the waiter towards the window seat.

As they passed a table, Zhao Heng suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Senior?"

Zhao Heng turned around and saw it was Shu Xin who had called him.

Seeing Zhao Heng, Shu Xin looked very happy.

This scene was observed by the middle-aged elite man in a high-quality suit sitting next to Shu Xin, who seemed rich at first glance. Seeing Shu Xin looking at Zhao Heng with fangirl eyes, the middle-aged elite man couldn't help but frown, scrutinizing Zhao Heng and the Xu Man Ni hanging onto him.

"Hmm."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Senior, you're here for a meal too; why not join us?"

Shu Xin said very familiarly, seemingly ignoring Xu Man Ni clinging onto Zhao Heng.

With Shu Xin saying this, the middle-aged elite man sitting next to her frowned and tugged at her sleeve, indicating she shouldn't casually invite people to eat together.

"No thanks, we've reserved over there."

Zhao Heng kindly declined.

Of course, he noticed the middle-aged man sitting beside Shu Xin looking displeased.

Plus, the smile on Xu Man Ni's face disappeared the moment she saw Shu Xin.

So, seating these two women together would be asking for trouble.

"Come on, more people makes for a livelier meal."

Shu Xin continued, after saying this she even stepped out of her seat, pulling Zhao Heng onto the seat, and she sat next to him, completely disregarding the slightly sulky Xu Man Ni.
