Well, not living together yet.

Main point: Youji has finally confessed to Ren, so now they are living a couple life with a kid who ships them.

But there's this old lady cooking from page 2

Then the two blonde women on the last page

The old lady is youzi's grandma and the two blonde women are youji's friend (the one with the ponytail) and her older sister (the one with the bob).

Was it ever revealed why the Chen sisters are having a spat? I might be wrong but all I remember is that they aren't on speaking terms at the present

I don't think it's been spelled out, but it's implied to do with a role that Chen Mo had written and promised to her sister previously:

which she did not in fact end up playing. Something happened, and afterwards Qingyan was especially bitter toward people 'parachuted in from Chen Mo's agency'

Which might imply that Mo was pressured to select someone else. But a few things make me doubt that's quite what occurred.

Has Qingyan dismissing the promise rather than displaying a grievance about things, with Mo merely fuming.

Has Qingyan quietly irritated at being referred to only as Mo's sister. Plus that very first link makes me think the web series 'Impressions' that Youji starred in was the role in question, which combine to make me think that Qingyan was offered the role and unexpectedly turned it down cold; possibly because she felt that if her first big break was a chance handed to her by her sister, no one would ever respect her on her own merits.

Alternatively, it could be the original use of that script was intended to be another format originally, but Mo was pressured to make use of someone other than Qingyan for the lead role; and eventually decided to pivot it into a flagship web series instead, knowing that the talent being pushed on her would back out of things due to the perceived lower prestige involved. In this scenario, Qingyan was already not speaking to her by this point, and so she had to cast someone else, and Youji was a prime choice.

Or at least those are my two guesses. Either way, I think those links are all the relevant bits we've been given.

Edit: Forgot one tiny detail:

weird little chapter

Youzi looks bigger than I remember seeing her

very weird game show, with judges helping out, and at least one judge close to a contestant... presumably it's not very serious.

I think that's because we often see the story from her POV at different points in her life. Sometimes she's shown as a child, and other times as a teenager.

As for the game show, it's actually based on a real variety show called Beautiful Kitchen. I remember watching it when I was younger.

I know, but she feels even bigger than previous 'teen Youzi' sightings. Just gut feeling though.

Huh.

Is it just me or have Youji and Ren been acting even closer in public since Youji's confession?

@Narrow Escape
Oh my god thank you so much! I'm so sorry it took me this long to see your reply. I don't keep track of my comments. If this manhua never updated, I probably wouldn't see your reply. Thank you as well for including links to the specific scenes. Oh gosh I would have loved to be your classmate if I were still a student.
