Late at night, Lin Xixue cautiously tests Gu Bei at her door, worried about her safety. Gu Bei uses sharp wit to tease her about her figure, easing her concerns and solemnly promising to protect her. At 2 AM, Lin Xixue is still engrossed in work, but Gu Bei's attempts to dissuade her are fruitless. Lin Xixue reprimands Gu Bei for overstepping, citing their difference in status and reiterating that he is her bodyguard, not her boyfriend. Gu Bei then霸气 (bàqì - domineeringly/heroically) "princess carries" Lin Xixue back to the bedroom and orders her to sleep in a firm yet ambiguous tone. Their relationship develops a subtle, romantic tension amidst their conflict.
