Episode 13: Jealousy Arises
Yun Shu (Xu Ruo Han) messages Zhang Sinian (Miles Wei) that she will be working overtime. Sinian overhears his coworkers discussing the temperature dropping later. By chance, Yun Shu stumbles upon Meng Ran (Hank Qi) reading a manga that she reads as well. They note that they both know someone in real life who is cold like the main character in the manga. Both are hinting Sinian, without mentioning his name. Sinian cannot reach Yun Shu so he calls Meng Ran instead. Yun Shu sees the Caller ID on Meng Ran’s phone and realizes that they know each other. Meng Ran assures Yun Shu that her hardwork and ability are something that no one can take away. Lin Nuo (Sheng Guangshuai) follows Gao Zhiyi (Zhao Luoran) to her date with Gu Xiao (Arthur Ma). Lin Nuo thinks Gu Xiao is trying to get Zhiyi drunk to take advantage of her, but once in the hotel room, Gu Xiao calls Lin Nuo to take care of her. Zhiyi scolds Lin Nuo for ruining her plans, because she is the one who wants to takes advantage of Gu Xiao. Sinian goes to pick up Yun Shu from work. He takes off the blazer that Meng Ran has put on her. He even takes her piece of hair off from Meng Ran’s shoulder. Sinian places his jacket to keep Yun Shu warm instead.
Meng Ran invites them to dinner to have snail noodles. Meng Ran says he will order the same as Yun Shu. Sinian says he will share the same bowl as Yun Shu. Meng Ran tells Sinian that he made a good choice, Yun Shu is cute. He replies that is none of his business. Yun Shu thanks Sinian for the job opportunity and tells him she will not let him down. Sinian has caught a cold from lending his jacket, but he refuses to admit that he is sick. Yun Shu makes him hot ginger tea, but he does not believe in things not backed by science. Seeing that Yun Shu has already made it, he decides to drink it to prove that it does not work. He drinks it as Yun Shu blows on the ginger tea to make it cooler. A caring Yun Shu leaves him with another cup of ginger tea the next day while she heads to work herself without wanting to wake him up. Lu Yu (Dai Yun Fan) decides to accept a 40 episodes script relating to law.
A very demanding client, Gao Mei (Ran Qian) is dissatisfied with Meng Ran’s law firm associate handling her case. As Yun Shu tries to calm her down, Gao Mei swipes a hot cup of coffee onto Yun Shu’s leg. Yun Shu decides she does not want any compensation for the injury as it was just an accident. Sinian runs to the hospital to see Yun Shu and is not pleased to know that Meng Ran was there at the time of the incident. The two men fight over feeding Yun Shu fried chicken and at the end, Yun Shu gets sauce all over her mouth from the fried chicken. When the nurse comes to ask who is Yun Shu’s family, Meng Ran says he is her boss while Sinian proudly declares he is her husband.
Yun Lan (Ma Yanting) is displeased that Lu Yu (Dai Yun Fan) has recommended himself to be her assistant for the next three months to learn about working in a law firm for his upcoming lawyer role. She objects, but her boss shoots her down. Yun Lan gives Lu Yu a box of files to look at and expects him to write a report for each one over the weekend and give to her on Monday. But, Lu Yu falls asleep in the afternoon and his leg falls asleep when he wakes up at nighttime just as Yun Lan is preparing to go home. Lu Yu doest not know why Yun Lan is treating him so coldly recently. Sinian is noticeably jealous when he sees Meng Ran and Yun Shu share the common topic of the manga they are reading. He closes the car window before they finish their conversation outside the hospital and drives off. Back at home, he carefully helps her to wrap her leg so that she can take a shower. Yun Shu falls in the bathroom and does not want Sinian to go in, because she only has on a bathrobe. When she falls again, Sinian barges in, but his eyes are closed as he tries to find Yun Shu and carry her back to her room.
