Noon at twelve!

A warm afternoon sunbeam sneaked through the gap between the curtains into Chen Hao's room, casting its light onto the face of Ye Yuqiao, who was soundly asleep on the bed.

Before long, Ye Yuqiao was roused by the warmth that the sunlight conveyed. After struggling for a while, she finally cracked open her eyes. Chen Hao's excessive affection from last night left her feeling somewhat uncomfortable now. However, her face was brimming with a shy and happy smile. Despite a hint of fatigue in her eyes, she looked radiant and vibrant.

After rubbing her eyes, Ye Yuqiao didn't see Chen Hao, which suddenly made her feel a small pang of loss and fear.

"Jerk, jerk!" Ye Yuqiao called out Chen Hao's name loudly. At that moment, she really wanted to see him, to be with Chen Hao at all times.

For a long time, there was no response, making her disappointed.

"Where did that jerk run off to!" Ye Yuqiao grumbled unhappily. She threw back the covers and bathed herself in the sunlight that had crept in, suddenly feeling a tranquil happiness wash over her. She smiled sweetly, not expecting that she, who struggled in agony just yesterday, would be enveloped in happiness overnight.

Happiness came suddenly, but just in time.

And unlike before, she didn't have to bear all kinds of heavy burdens in her heart. She could relax and wholeheartedly enjoy Chen Hao's affection for her, embracing her Chen Hao.

A few minutes later, Ye Yuqiao felt the chill of late autumn and got up to leave the room.

In the living room, after hearing the "clatter" of cooking from the kitchen, Ye Yuqiao tiptoed to the kitchen door. Seeing Chen Hao engrossed in cooking, Ye Yuqiao smiled contentedly, then quietly walked up behind him, wrapped her arms around him from the back, closed her eyes, and chuckled, "It smells so good, I thought I would never get to eat your cooking again?"

Chen Hao was startled, feeling as if he had been smacked in the head with happiness.

After turning down the heat, Chen Hao quickly turned around and could not help but kiss Ye Yuqiao.

It wasn't until they smelled the scent of burning coming from the pot behind them that Ye Yuqiao quickly pushed Chen Hao away, raised her hand to pat his back, and scolded, "Look what you did, my meal is ruined. Annoying!"

"How can you blame me?" Chen Hao countered as he busied himself adding water to the pot in a last-ditch effort to salvage the situation.

"Of course! Am I supposed to blame myself?"

"Yeah! You should, because you're so beautiful, you're too attractive to me."

"Alright then, I'm leaving. I don't want to eat burnt food anyway; you figure it out for yourself!"

"Snap!" With that sound, Chen Hao quickly turned off the heat, then turned around to gently pin Ye Yuqiao against the wall behind them and kissed her.

Soon after, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Immediately, their lips parted. However, just as Chen Hao was about to go and open the door, Ye Yuqiao suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist, commanding in a firm tone, "Don't go, don't allow it!"

Chen Hao turned to look at Ye Yuqiao, stroked her head, and said with a chuckle, "Behave! Stop fussing."

"Humph!" Ye Yuqiao was clearly displeased and quickly pushed Chen Hao away, coldly saying, "I guess I should coo less in the future, it feels weird!"

"I think it's great! Being occasionally whimsical makes you very cute," Chen Hao said with a smile, then went to answer the door.

Upon opening the door, there stood Tang Chao and Tang Jing with grave expressions. In Tang Chao's hand was a bag of boxed lunches.

"Chen Hao, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Tang Jing said with a stern face, "So we came to bring you lunch."

"Great, great!" Chen Hao said excitedly, "I just accidentally burnt the food I was cooking, and now you bring lunch just in time!"

Seeing Chen Hao greeting them with a smile, and even in the mood to cook, such abnormal behavior made Tang Jing and Tang Chao feel very strange.

"Chen Hao, are you alright?" Tang Jing asked with a concerned look.

"I'm fine!" Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Come on in!"

After saying that, Chen Hao warmly welcomed Tang Jing and Tang Chao into his home, making them even more puzzled.

"Wait a second!" Chen Hao's expression suddenly changed, then he turned back to look at Tang Jing and Tang Chao, "You only bought enough for one person, that's not enough to eat."

"Huh?" Tang Jing was stunned, "Is there someone else in the house?"

As it happened, just at that moment, Ye Yuqiao stepped lightly out of the kitchen, greeted Tang Jing and Tang Chao with her head down, her face showing an extremely awkward expression because she was wearing one of Chen Hao's T-shirts.

After seeing Ye Yuqiao, a spark appeared in Tang Jing and Tang Chao's eyes. After a moment's pause, Tang Jing said with a cold laugh, "No wonder someone's mood suddenly improved today!"

"Goddess, you're back!" Tang Chao looked at Ye Yuqiao, scratching his head and laughing stupidly. He paused, then suddenly said to Tang Jing, "Right, sister, isn't there something urgent at the association?"

"Ah, right!" Tang Jing nodded understandingly, then turned to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, "We'll leave now that the food is delivered, we won't disturb the two of you reuniting!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Jing and Tang Chao hurried away, not forgetting to gently close the door of Chen Hao's house on their way out.

Seeing the brother and sister so startled, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but smile.

Afterward, Ye Yuqiao walked up behind Chen Hao, raised her hand to pinch his arm and complained, "I'm wearing your clothes, they must have noticed, I'm so embarrassed!"

Chen Hao turned around, took Ye Yuqiao into his arms, and asked, "Little Qiao Qiao, where did you stay during these few days you ran away from home?"

"Little Qiao Qiao? That's so cheesy! You're not allowed to call me that anymore, just call me 'Her Majesty the Queen' like before!" Ye Yuqiao said disdainfully. "I went to W City, and stayed in a hotel room for the past four days. I spent the days either cursing you or crying, crying non-stop, day and night, crying horribly!"

Hearing how tragic Ye Yuqiao described her experience, Chen Hao felt deeply pained.

"Do you feel guilty now?" Ye Yuqiao laughed lightly, "I did it on purpose, to make it sound terrible so you would feel terribly guilty! You deserve it!"

"Naughty!" Chen Hao said with a light smile, hugging Ye Yuqiao tighter. "I have some unfortunate news; your room has been rented out. However, I have some good news as well, the kind neighbor living upstairs is willing to take you in and will take good care of you!"

"I don't want it!" Yuqiao immediately rejected, "My upstairs neighbor is a jerk, not kind at all, I don't want to."

"Really don't want to?"

"Mhm!" Ye Yuqiao nodded firmly.

"Alright then!" Chen Hao pretended to be very angry, "I was going to cook your favorite dishes every day, but if you don't want to stay, then I won't do it."

"Are you threatening me?" Ye Yuqiao looked aggrieved.

"Yes, I am threatening you!" Chen Hao nodded.

Ye Yuqiao shook her head, then buried herself in Chen Hao's embrace and said, "I have some good news for you; your threat has worked. Congratulations, your home will now have an additional beautiful and delicate young lady."

"So you agree?"

Ye Yuqiao nodded, then said with a smile, "However, it's agreed that you will personally cook me delicious food every day."
