Han Zihao looks around to see what he had missed yesterday. However, there was nothing.
" Did you change something? But...What changed?"
I can't tell anything. Now stop creating suspe-" He stopped talking upon realizing that something was indeed amiss. His place does look different than before.
He didn't notice this yesterday but when he looked at it again, there were a few things that weren't at his place before.
The hash-brown carpet under the glass table, the colorful large cushions on the couch, the small plants at the windowsill, these things were never there before. Although, he 'did' notice the overly filled cupboard in the morning when he was taking out the clothes to dress up.
However, he didn't think much about it since Xu Nuan was staying at his place for some time now and they both shared the same closet. However, before she only had a handful of clothes since she wasn't planning to stay for long and only had a few pairs of dresses and nightclothes.
But now it was fully packed and a lot messier as if someone had hoarded more clothes in it.
Seeing Han Zihao's shocked and lost expressions, Xu Nuan chuckled and said, " Now you got it? You're a lot denser than I had thought."
" Didn't you ask me about the same thing before? Yesterday I was thinking about it and it wasn't that bad to stay with you all these days." She shared her thoughts.
" I was hesitant before because I was not sure if I am ready to take this step in our relationship as of yet but...I guess it's not that bad."
Yesterday, when she was shopping for her clothes, she stumbled across a newlywed couple. They were annoyingly sweet and even though she is in a happy relationship, she still felt jealous seeing how they can see each other all the time.
Since they both are busy, there are times when they cannot get to see each other's faces, despite the fact that they live opposite to each other.
She was aware that he wanted them to live together but she was afraid. The betrayals that she had faced in her last time, still haunt her sometimes.
Even though Han Zihao is totally opposite to Qin Ju and she knows that he will never treat her the same way he did, she was still afraid to be dependent on someone like this.
Every time she goes close to someone, either they leave her, or something happens that will make them apart. Same with her Han Zihao when they were young, her parents, even Hao Mei, and all the friends with whom she was forced to be away.
She sometimes wonders if it is really alright for her to be this happy. What if something bad happens again?
However, seeing the newly-wed couple, she doesn't know what gave her the courage but after she came back from the shopping, she packed some of her luggage and moved into his place without telling him.
To surprise him, she made some major changes in the living room and was hoping for him to see what she did, but he couldn't find out.
She thought she would surprise him and was somewhat worried that this action of hers will come out as a clingy girlfriend.
However, when he brought up the topic of her moving in with him, she sighed in relief. Thankfully, he was still thinking about the same thing. Otherwise, it would have been super awkward and embarrassing for her.
Han Zihao was still in shock and was staring at her as if a bomb had been thrown at him. Until yesterday, he was worried about how to bring this topic to her and convince her to move in with him but wasn't expecting that she already planned all this to surprise him.
She continued while avoiding his gaze, "Also, since my house is just in front, if you ever made me angry or annoyed me, I can simply go back to my place. Simple." she shrugged her shoulders, making him frown.
" Are you already giving up on our relationship?" He said while pouting.
Xu Nuan was speechless seeing his reaction and gave him a look before continuing, " Did I say that? I am just saying that I can do that if a worse situation arrives. Also, since I am leaving my luxurious condo to live with you, you better treat me well."
" You remember what you promised in front of my parent's grave, right? So you better do well." She reminded him.
He nodded seriously, " I was waiting for this day for so long. How can I not treat you well? Hmm?" He asked as he leaned to give her a peck on her lips.
The dream that he was dreaming for years is finally going to come into a reality. They're going to live together, the only thing that is left is the wedding band in her finger.

Moonriver cafe-
Jia Fei was sitting at a table and was munching on her club sandwich while looking for some good places to deliver the food. Since Luo Dan has gone to a reunion party with her school friends so she was left alone to eat dinner.
She sighed in exasperation as nothing seemed to impress her. She hates eating alone. She is so used to eating dinner with Luo Dan that eating alone makes her feel miserable.
"Life is so boring these days." she cried in frustration. While they were still active as a group, they were busy all the time and had to move and keep working all the time.
Her body is not used to this laid-back life. Running a cafe is all good but she doesn't have anything more to do other than stand behind the counter or check the record books. There is nothing much that she can contribute to the cafe.
" I miss being on stage," she murmured weakly. While she was working, there were times when she was tired and hated her active life. However, she loved performing, the exciting feeling of performing on stage always made her feel alive.
But she was not sure how she was feeling these days. Jiang Yue has also left them, the music is not in their life either. Everything feels just..empty and meaningless.
While she was lost in her thoughts and was wondering how things took a dirty turn in her life, her phone started to ring. She frowned looking at the unknown number and after giving it some thought, she carefully picked the call.

Yu Mansion-
After Yuhan broke off the engagement with Gu Xingren, he left his house and started living independently. The words of Xu Nuan made him realize that all this while, he was just following his mother's wish and was not doing what he wanted.
He never loved Xingren but was simply going with the family's arrangements. It was not only wrong towards Xingren but him as well.
Marriage is such a big step but he was taking it casually.
Thankfully, the words of Xu Nuan opened his eyes and ended the suffocating marriage before it could take place. Since Xingren also got into the scandal soon after that, his mother is not angry about it.
This gave him the courage to move out and get away from the shadow of his mother's protectiveness. However, moving out doesn't mean he has abandoned his family completely.
He loves his mother, however, there are times where she forgets that he has grown up and can make his own decisions.
His mother still calls him and complains to him about how he left her alone and has forgotten her. To make her feel better, he even attended blind dates arranged by her a few times, but after the last time, he had stopped going along with that play either.
Today, he came to the Mansion to have dinner with his mother. Since he isn't going on dates now, he was trying to cheer up by giving her gifts and coming home frequently for dinners.
As soon as he entered the Mansion, a servant came running to take the bag from him. He passed him the bag and went to the living room.
" Mom, did you buy a new car? But why does it have to be red? It's such a loud color. Ugh!"
" You should have-" He was talking while rolling up his sleeves but his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the person sitting in the living room.
His steps also halted in shock as he stood there in confusion with widened eyes, " This...this is my house, right?" He looked around to make sure he was at the right place.
" Why...why are you here?" He asked in confusion.
Jia Fei raised brows at him and said sarcastically while trying to maintain a forced smile on her face, " Well, the red color car, it's mine. And Yes, I like loud colors."
