After Meng Tang moved into Chengyuan, what he ate most was the Malatang downstairs.
Until she saw a post on Xiaohongshu with only seventeen likes——
"Near Nanchuan Road, looking for a partner for weekday dinner."
The poster, Xu Heng, lives in 1702 next door to her. Can cook, has many rules and clear boundaries.
They agreed to try it out for seven days and then work together for thirty days: there would be no talk of feelings or personal matters, and either party could withdraw at any time.
But starting from a certain day, Meng Tang would remember that someone was waiting for her to eat when she got off work; when Xu Heng was buying groceries, he would also subconsciously include her in tonight's portion.
After thirty days, the agreement expires.
They discovered that the most difficult thing to end is never a dinner, but that they finally have someone in their lives who will wait for their return.
