What Wang Shuqiu actually needed was not Du Heng's advice, but more of his attitude and support.
So after the date ended, Wang Shuqiu headed to the small bedroom with her phone, and the call she made lasted for more than an hour. During the conversation, arguments could occasionally be heard.
Du Heng didn't say much; he just picked up the book beside the bed and began to read, soon falling asleep. As for how Wang Shuqiu's call went and when it ended, Du Heng had no idea.
When they woke up in the morning, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning the previous night's events.
While eating the fried eggs Wang Shuqiu had made for him, they chatted about interesting things they had encountered at work. Accompanied by their laughter, they left the house and headed towards their respective workplaces.
They muddled through a busy morning, feeling like they'd accomplished a lot, yet also like they'd done nothing at all.
