Episode 4 recap: Ji Yu Heng and Tu Xiao Ning Sign a Bet Agreement
In Episode 4, Tu Xiao Ning and Ji Yu Heng had planned to have a nice dinner together after work, but because there were coworkers around, they had to sit at separate tables. The two exchanged glances, and their hidden feelings for each other were clear as day. On the way home from work, they shopped at the supermarket together, and Ji Yu Heng carefully picked out the snacks that Xiao Ning liked, showing how attentive he was.
However, every day at work, Xiao Ning would get off the bus early and walk the rest of the way to avoid suspicion, and she felt conflicted about the whole situation.
At the office, the position of manager was about to be decided. The bank president was going to meet the new manager, and the news was buzzing among the colleagues. Xiao Ning overheard the chatter and started pondering the situation.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was tense. The people from the Expansion Department untimely brought gifts, wanting to merge departments, and Manager Zhao and Rao Jing clearly weren't happy about it. When the bank president arrived, he directly announced that the new manager would be Ji Yu Heng, and everyone was stunned, privately discussing that he was too young and lacked experience.
Although Xiao Ning didn't say anything on the surface, she was in turmoil inside, wanting to give him shopping advice, but he was so busy with work that he didn't even respond.
At dinner, the colleagues were praising Ji Yu Heng's good looks, and Xiao Ning could only smile and go along with it, but she was a mess inside. Ji Yu Heng had actually planned to have dinner with her, but when he heard she had gone home, he secretly went to her place to cook.
When Xiao Ning opened the door and saw him, she was both surprised and angry, giving him a cold attitude. During the meal, Xiao Ning purposely picked fights, and Ji Yu Heng patiently served her food, the atmosphere awkward yet cozy. Xiao Ning's mom noticed something was off, and when she asked about it, Xiao Ning quickly made an excuse to send her parents away, leaving the two of them to face the awkward situation.
Xiao Ning was worried that the office romance would affect their work, and she wanted to break up with Ji Yu Heng. Ji Yu Heng, on the other hand, had planned to have a serious talk with her after work. But then Xiao Ning accidentally got a fishbone stuck while eating, and Ji Yu Heng rushed her to the hospital, frantic like an ant on a hot pan. After the doctor removed the bone, the nurse even praised Ji Yu Heng's attentiveness. On the way home, Ji Yu Heng told Xiao Ning the reason he was transferred to the Expansion Department - it was to restructure the department and help small businesses, as well as to raise funds for his mom's medical expenses, which was a huge burden. He asked Xiao Ning what she thought about it, and she told him they both needed to calm down and think it over.
Ji Yu Heng was quite considerate - he secretly followed Xiao Ning's Weibo and knew she was in a bad mood. Once, he refused a call from a professor for Xiao Ning's sake, and she overheard it and was touched. The next day, Xiao Ning told him she didn't want him to give up good opportunities for her, and proposed they sign a bet agreement to temporarily not get married.
Ji Yu Heng thought it over and agreed, officially joining the Expansion Department. At the office, they had to maintain distance, but their subtle interactions couldn't be hidden. Once, during a meeting, they accidentally swapped ID badges, and Ji Yu Heng took the opportunity to sneak more glances at Xiao Ning. Afterward, he carefully checked her resume, and Xiao Ning quickly reminded him to switch the badges back, also sharing the incident with her best friend.
Ji Yu Heng then used his lunch break to quietly switch the badges back and prepared a hot coffee for Xiao Ning. Their little office interactions were so heartwarming that anyone who saw them would feel touched.
