Li Yan ultimately didn't move back, and no one knew the reason except for the parties involved.
One day, Cha Xiaodao asked Li Yan with a mysterious air whether he had ever slept with Lady Dan? Li Yan dodged the question with vague answers.
Li Yan didn't mention to Cha Xiaodao when he would move back, and used the excuse of helping out at the restaurant to continually occupy the second-floor attic of Cha Xiaodao's restaurant. However, after moving in, he didn't even touch the menu. He'd go out for walks every morning and would reliably show up at meal times, robustly asking what was for today's meal?
This kind of life lasted for about half a month, until one day when Cha Xiaodao was about to close for the night, she noticed Li Yan chatting merrily with an Australian neighbor in her forties. After they hugged each other goodbye, Li Yan crossed the street and entered the house under Cha Xiaodao's almost terrified gaze.
