[Reunion + Forced Sharing + Workplace Rivals + Urban Group Portrait + Two-way Growth + HE]
In the seventh year of Hu Piao, Lin Xia was only one project away from being promoted, but first she had to wait for a layoff warning and a notice of cessation from the landlord.
There is another name in the rent-out group - Zhou Xu, her ex who she broke up with three years ago and hasn't seen for three years.
On a rainy night, a man stood outside the door dragging his luggage: "There are still thirty days left in the contract. I'll come back to get my deposit."
So, a refrigerator dividing line, two locked bedrooms, and three roommate covenants of "never getting back together" stuffed them back into their old life of 38 square meters.
What's even more ridiculous is that Lin Xia was responsible for promoting the Changfengli renovation project, and Zhou Xu was filming a protest documentary for residents. During the day, they were tit-for-tat at both ends of the conference table; at night, they battled wits over one kilowatt-hour of electricity, a bowl of noodles, and who could take a shower first.
Until Lin Xia discovered that the consent form for the project was signed by a dead person; Zhou Xu also discovered that what really separated them back then was never a lack of love, but that both of them were too good at turning their request for help into a decent thing.
On the day when the countdown to renting out reaches zero, they must decide: whether to leave the old house together, or to leave each other in their own futures again.
