After Ji Wei woke up, he was called over to Ji Guo Zheng's study and reprimanded. The incident in the toilet yesterday had been leaked by an unknown source and had made its way to his ears.

When he came out once more, the helper had already finished preparing breakfast and his cousin was sitting at the table.

His parent's arranged marriage was in name only and his mother had moved out as early as half a year ago. During this time, he'd only seen her briefly once, which was yesterday.

"Brother," His cousin called and couldn't help looking towards the second floor, "Did Uncle scold you?"

"It's nothing." Ji Wei gave her a smile and looked at his watch, "Has Qin Man gone back?"

His cousin froze, "...I don't know."

Ji Wei asked, "Didn't you want to invite him on a morning run?"

"..."

Her hands cutting the bread paused. After a moment, she pursed her lips and told him everything that happened this morning, "Brother, don't you think their relationship is pretty good?"

Ji Wei slightly frowned, his eyes carrying a trace of doubt, "I don't know. Eat up."

They'd just finished their breakfast when Qin Man came out of his room.

Closing the door behind him, Qin Man glanced towards the end of the hallway. The door of the room was still tightly shut and through the thick wooden door, he seemed to be able to feel how peaceful the person sleeping behind it must be.

In the past, despite his busy schedule, he would have a strict sleep schedule every night. Occasionally, he would burn the midnight oil but it wasn't common.

Right now, he was staying over at another person's house. It wasn't polite to sleep in until noon, and he still needed to greet his host.

"You're awake?" Seeing him come down, Ji Wei smiled, "What's wrong? Previously on our graduation trip, you'd always wake up at seven for your morning run."

Qin Man replied, "Maybe it's because the beds in your house are more comfortable."

"Why don't you take one back then?" Ji Wei turned around, "Auntie Yang, I'll have to trouble you to prepare another portion of breakfast."

"No need, I don't have much of an appetite." Qin Man said, "Is Uncle free now? I have something to discuss with him."

"He is. He's in the study."

Qin Man nodded and just as he started to go towards the study, Ji Wei stopped him.

"Wait, Qin Man." Ji Wei put down his butterknife, "Why didn't you call me last night? Cup noodles aren't healthy. There're many things to eat in the fridge that are much better."

"It's not healthy, but it tastes good." Qin Man laughed, "I'll get going then."

Ji Ran was awoken by his phone. It was the maintenance company informing him that his car was done being repaired.

After hanging up, Ji Ran looked at the time. It was already 11 o'clock.

He buried his head in his pillow and clicked his tongue.

He'd originally planned to get up earlier and swagger out of the Ji house in front of Ji Wei's eyes. He didn't expect last night to have been so unrestrained and coupled with the alcohol he'd consumed, he was unable to get up.
