After Song Xuanhe was discharged, Xiao Yuanmu's workplace shifted from the hospital to the apartment.

Louis had teased him several times before over this but Xiao Yuanmu had remained unmoved from beginning to end. Even when it came to the Xiao Family, unless it was really urgent, he wouldn't leave the apartment. One time, when Louis had once again come to complain about his suffering, he had told Song Xuanhe:

"Dr. Nathan's already said that you're fine, that you can take care of yourself now. But Xiao still isn't willing to come to the company to work. I bet it isn't 100% because he's worried about your body. I think he thinks you'll abandon him and go on another trip."

Song Xuanhe had been drawing at the time. When he had heard what Louis said, he paused. At that moment, he suddenly recalled the System's reminder two nights ago. Your last scene is fifteen days away. There are forty six days until your departure from this world.

"But I don't think he has to worry." Louis casually found a place to sit down. "There aren't that many countries as dangerous as X Country in this world. You only went there because you didn't know how dire the situation really was. Obviously, there isn't going to be a second time. I really don't know what he's worried about."

Louis' eyes suddenly widened as he said this. He looked like he had suddenly seen the truth. He turned to speak to Yang Jie furiously, "Yang, do you think that this is because I took those days off for my hand injury? Is he using Song's injury as an excuse to work from home? And if I ask him about it, do you think he's going to use the excuse I used against me? And then he'll shift most of the work onto me so that I won't be able to rest even on the weekends!"

Not even Louis believed himself.

"Song." Louis said to Song Xuanhe in a grave tone. "I sincerely wish to extend to you an invitation to come visit RE. If possible, please stay there for several days. I think that the architecture of our building will provide you with inspiration. I forgot to tell you this before, but our company's building....

"What are you guys talking about?"

Xiao Yuanmu came in with a bowl of noodles in his hand. He made a beeline to Song Xuanhe and placed the bowl down in front of him. In a fluid motion, he pulled the other's pen out of his hand and handed him a pair of chopsticks instead. "The noodles you wanted to eat."

Song Xuanhe had gotten used to how Xiao Yuanmu would do anything he asked at once over the last few days.

Therefore, he wasn't upset over having his pen confiscated. He simply grabbed the chopsticks and began to eat.

Louis watched their seamless and familiar interaction with shock. He then asked Yang Jie, "Do you think Xiao knows that we're still sitting right here?"

Yang Jie was looking at Song Xuanhe, who was quietly eating his noodles on the bed, with a complicated gaze. He also looked at Xiao Yuanmu, who was standing beside him, looking at Song Xuanhe's sketch. He then looked away and quietly said, "He just asked us what we were talking about."

Louis recalled hearing that. "Oh yeah. He wouldn't ask us that if he didn't know we were here. But why did he only bring one bowl over even though he knows we're here?"

Xiao Yuanmu's gaze was still on the sketch. He didn't look up as he said mildly, "There's more in the kitchen. If you want to eat, get it yourself."

Louis raised his chin, intending to say that he didn't want to eat. But the image of Song Xuanhe eating made him hungry. The delicious aroma of food that wafted over also made him gulp.

But Xiao Yuanmu ignoring him like this even though they were business partners really did hurt his self-esteem.

Louis wanted to find someone to back him up. He turned to ask Yang Jie: "Yang, we're not going to...Yang?"
