1. Key Plot Points & Events

Su Tianqing wakes at 9 AM on the weekend to find breakfast (rolled omelets, toast) left by her roommate "Little Fish," along with a note reminding her not to buy too many snacks for Nan Xiaofeng. She keeps these notes in a tin box as a collection of their written communications.
She meets Nan Xiaofeng at a designated intersection. They find a quiet teahouse private room. Su Tianqing builds a castle out of mahjong tiles while waiting to discuss serious matters.
Nan Xiaofeng recounts in detail the previous day's events: Bailing encountered the Stargazer riding on Senior Albatross's shoulder and became visibly shaken/depressed afterward. Bailing then returned to the Star Realm and is now unreachable by anyone.
Su Tianqing analyzes the situation, concluding that Bailing has a close relationship with the Stargazer, and something between them must explain her reaction. Nan Xiaofeng worries she's to blame for not asking Senior Albatross about it, but Su Tianqing reassures her she did well.
Su Tianqing reveals she already arranged for Yue Tianxin ("Xiaoyue") to go to the Star Realm to locate Bailing. Nan Xiaofeng is greatly relieved. The chapter ends with Su Tianqing probing toward Yue Tianxin, hoping nothing has become too complicated.
