Episode 12 recap: Tu Xiao Ning and Ji Yu Heng Share a Bed

In episode 12, at the office, Ji Yu Heng was watching everyone busy at work, scheming in his mind, and exchanging a mysterious glance with Tu Xiao Ning. Zhao Fang Gang suddenly confronted Rao Jing about her debt, presenting video evidence. Rao Jing was stunned, shaking her head in disbelief. But then Zhao Fang Gang's phone slipped and shattered, leaving the video issue unresolved. Rao Jing remained calm and offered to pay for the phone, creating an awkward atmosphere in the office.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu Heng was excelling at work, with his supervisor praising him for his impressive project expansion. When it came to the arranged marriage, however, Ji Yu Heng hesitated, saying the timing was not right.

On the other side, Qi Yu and Ling Wei Yi finally had a chance to be alone, but they were interrupted by Ling Wei Yi's aunt. Ling Wei Yi quickly played a video to shoo the aunt away, allowing them to share a kiss.

Ling Wei Yi privately complained that love is not easy, almost spilling her heart, but Qi Yu forgot to ask after receiving a sweet kiss.

Tu Xiao Ning was conflicted about Ji Yu Heng's relationship with Tang Yu Hui. While claiming not to care, her actions often betrayed her. She chose to escape by immersing herself in studying and work.

When Ji Yu Heng returned home, a call about an arranged marriage came. He playfully answered, pretending Tu Xiao Ning was in the shower. In the study, Tu Xiao Ning was deeply focused on her studies, and Ji Yu Heng quietly came to help her with the problems, leading to an intimate moment between them.

In the evening, they went up to the roof to enjoy the breeze. Tu Xiao Ning finally opened her heart, and Ji Yu Heng tenderly reassured her, explaining his relationship with Tang Yu Hui was purely platonic.

As the year-end approached, the workload was intense. Tang Yu Hui was relaxed, while Zhao Fang Gang and Rao Jing were constantly complaining. Ji Yu Heng joined in, creating a subtle atmosphere. When Tang Yu Hui invited Ji Yu Heng to celebrate, he declined, having other plans.

Tu Xiao Ning was busy with exam preparation, and Ji Yu Heng took care of the household chores, occasionally surprising her with small tricks to help her relax. Tu Xiao Ning discussed the future, mentioning her desire to secure a permanent position and improve her living situation. To her surprise, she discovered Ji Yu Heng's preparation of wedding photos and a diamond ring, overwhelming her with joy.

After Ji Yu Heng's mother was discharged from the hospital, Tu Xiao Ning proposed that they all live together, confidently claiming she could cook. However, when faced with a fish, she was stumped, and Ji Yu Heng had to take over. During the family dinner, the atmosphere was warm and heartwarming.

Later that night, after caring for Ji Yu Heng's mother, the two prepared to retire to their room. Tu Xiao Ning insisted on sharing a bed with Ji Yu Heng, using the excuse of studying to conceal her shyness.

On the eve of the exam, Tu Xiao Ning was extremely nervous, with even Zhao Fang Gang feeling sympathetic. Ji Yu Heng treated her with utmost care, fearing any mishap.
