Shun Yu meets up with the other secretary and boards the bus that will take them to a luxurious villa where the annual company trip will be held. When he asks if Shang Zhou will be joining them in the vehicle, Sophia replies that he will be going there on his own. As a result, he is taken aback when Lisa forces him into a window seat, leaving the aisle seat empty only for Shang Zhou to enter and immediately take the vacant seat beside him. Shun Yu tries to get up from his seat to give him more room, but the latter immediately pulls him back in. From his seat, he notices Lisa glaring at him, warning him to stay put. Shun Yu is forced to sit back and hesitantly asks Shang Zhou about his sudden appearance on the bus when he or his driver can go directly to the villa. His heart begins to race when Shang Zhou puts his sunglasses on him and moves closer to his space to put his seatbelt on for him. To make matters worse, he notices Lisa and Sophia staring at them and worries that they have misinterpreted the situation.
As the ride continues, Shun Yu notices Shang Zhou struggling to sleep and realizes that his insomnia has returned. Despite his complaint that Shang Zhou would be better off sleeping in his car rather than squeezing with the rest of them on the bus, he offers his shoulder for him to sleep on. Shang Zhou initially refuses, but Shun Yu insists, claiming that he has been saving that spot for a future girlfriend, immediately railing up the former. Shun Yu immediately covers Shang Zhou’s mouth with his hands and forces him to resume sleeping on his shoulder. They both end up sleeping on each other, with Shang Zhou even moving the bus curtains to block out the light.
For the first time in a luxurious villa, Shun Yu excitedly inquires about his room number from Lisa but is pushed back to Shang Zhou, who will be sharing a room with him, much to his dismay. He believes that rooming with him will be like working instead of taking a vacation, which explains his lack of energy as he trudged to their shared room with a fake smile on his face. Meanwhile, Shang Zhou believes the arrangement will allow him to show off his nicer side. Shun Yu is overjoyed when he sees their room, which turns out to be a villa with its pool, and eagerly dips his hand to check the water. To his surprise, Shang Zhou casually wraps his arms around him and invites him to swim together. He pretends to fall over and runs inside, covering himself with the villa’s brochure to hide his blushing face. Shun Yu running away from him, on the other hand, makes Shang Zhou feel even more challenged as he enters the bathroom to take a shower and prepare his body to catch the former’s attention.
With Shang Zhou out of sight, Shun Yu notices the room decoration and realizes that it appears to have been prepared for a couple rather than a boss and an employee. He immediately cleans up the balloons hanging in the room and the flower petals scattered around, not realizing he accidentally threw them in the pool instead. He becomes agitated as he answers a call from Lisa when Shang Zhou emerges from the shower with his upper body bare and approaches him. Shang Zhou teases Shun Yu while playing suggestively with his bare upper body in the pool, noticing the discarded balloons and flower petals. Shun Yu, on the other hand, who couldn’t help but admire Shang Zhou’s well-kept physique, leaves the villa under the guise of assisting the other secretaries. Later, a frustrated Shang Zhou hears a cheerful noise from the other villa, along with Shun Yu’s voice, and begins to wonder if the latter is just playing dumb or if he truly doesn’t understand his intentions.
