★ Warning: This is set in a fictional version of the Republican era. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

Newsboy: Extra! Extra! Today's news! The relationship between Shu Yueting and Jin Bailing has fallen apart, and Jin Bailing is back on the scene after her divorce!

Wu Shuyue: Bai Wangting, come here. I want strawberry cake.

Bai Wangting: Do you think I'm a pushover? You're divorcing me and still spending my money? No way!

Wu Shuyue: Oh, never mind, then.

A reporter passing by: Miss Bailing? What a coincidence!

Wu Shuyue: Yes. I wanted to buy a cake, but I forgot my money.

Reporter: That's nothing. It's on me!

Bai Wangting pulls out his wallet: No need.

Wu Shuyue: Mr. Bai, don't bother. We're divorced now. Why make yourself look like a pushover?

Bai Wangting: I have money, and I'll spend it however I please.

Reporter: Mr. Bai, Miss Bailing, let's part on good terms. No need to fall out over this. Let me pay. I'm not that rich, but I can afford a cake.

Bai Wangting slaps a wad of cash onto the counter: You can go home now, server.

Server: ???

The reporter takes the hint, pockets his money, and makes a quick getaway.

Bai Wangting beckons the server over again: Strawberry.

The server boxes it up and sets it on the counter: Here you go.

Bai Wangting leaves without taking the cake, his face dark with anger.

Wu Shuyue picks up the cake, then beckons the server over.

Server: Miss Bailing, what can I do for you?

Wu Shuyue: My change!

Is one cake really worth that much?

Server: Oh, right! (Gives her the change.)

Wu Shuyue pockets the money and walks off with the cake.

Server: Hmph! One's as shameless as a pig with scallions stuffed up its snout, and the other's as ridiculous as blowing into a stalk of wheat. Those two really have no shame!
