Ever since He Wenjie returned from Yantai, he hadn't set foot in the apartment he shared with Hu Haili. He spent the entire Chinese New Year holiday at home. When he noticed the paintings on the wall were gone, he asked Xie Meilan about it during his New Year's phone call to her. Upon learning that she had taken them away, he couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile. It seemed there was simply no possibility between him and Hu Haili; otherwise, Xie Meilan wouldn't have taken the paintings back. Those two were absolute natural-born enemies.
In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival arrived. This time, Li Xiaoyue came to see He Wenjie carrying two bags of tangyuan. "You treated me on New Year's Eve, so I'm cooking for you today. Black sesame filling or fruit filling—which one do you want?"
"Li Xiaoyue, if you dare to open that durian-filled tangyuan, don't blame me for throwing you out. What decent person buys durian tangyuan? Are you trying to make sure every neighbor around here thinks I'm eating shit at home on the Lantern Festival?"
