Chen Huan'er was preparing a surprise for Qian Lina’s birthday when her father, Chen Lei, suddenly came home. He had taken time off from work to surprise Qian Lina. Chen Huan'er was happy, but she noticed that her father’s toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel had all been put away by Qian Lina. The next day, Chen Lei found expired milk in the kitchen and complained that Qian Lina had been mistreating him at home.

Just then, Qian Lina, who had just returned from the night shift, bumped into him, and they had a huge argument. Hearing the commotion, Chen Huan'er could only sit downstairs quietly. Jing Qichi woke up early and went downstairs to throw out the garbage. He saw Chen Huan'er sitting in a daze, her hair a mess.

Chen Huan'er confessed that her parents were arguing and that she wanted to come over to Jing Qichi’s place to get away from it all. Jing Qichi sent a message to Song Cong, asking him to come quickly because Chen Huan'er needed him. Song Cong sleepily got out of bed and rushed to Jing Qichi's house. Jing Qichi couldn’t help but find it amusing how both of them looked so similar in the morning.

Chen Huan'er was struggling to understand why her parents had suddenly started fighting. They had argued before, but never to this extent. Song Cong mentioned that his parents never fought, and every day it was just Song Hang being scolded by them. Jing Qichi showed Chen Huan'er and Song Cong something he had discovered the previous night, which proved that Song Hang and Qian Lina were actually fine.

However, he noticed that something seemed off between Song Hang and Lin Yifan, so he quietly asked Lin Yifan about it. Song Cong left Jing Qichi's house with his hair in a messy bun and bumped into Li Tian. Li Tian mentioned that he had figured things out regarding their previous conversation and that Song Cong didn’t need a definitive answer. What if that answer wasn’t what he wanted?

Chen Lei left a note on the door saying that he had taken Chen Huan'er out to surprise Qian Lina. Qian Lina saw the note and, frightened, immediately ran outside to chase after them. Chen Lei and Chen Huan'er, realizing their surprise plan had failed, hurriedly ran after her. While crying, Qian Lina looked at the scene they had prepared and smiled.

The birthday cake was still the one Chen Lei had chosen, even though Chen Huan'er had initially switched it. It was clear that Qian Lina preferred this one. Chen Huan'er had prepared a birthday gift for Qian Lina, and the three of them shared a warm and happy moment. The conflict between Qian Lina and Chen Lei passed quietly. In the evening, Jing Qichi took Chen Huan'er to a secret place and mysteriously asked her to close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found a small cake in her hands—the one she had liked before but couldn’t buy because it wasn’t sold in slices. Jing Qichi couldn’t afford a whole one, so he had convinced Song Cong and Li Tian to pitch in and buy it together, splitting it into three pieces. Chen Huan'er was moved to tears, and Jing Qichi gently wiped her tears away. They happily ate the cake together.

Li Tian and Song Cong each took their small cakes home to share with their parents, and the memories of love between the older generation were fixed in time. In truth, Jing Qichi’s guess had been wrong—their partners had always been each other from the start. On the way back, it started to rain heavily. Jing Qichi held up his jacket to shield Chen Huan'er as he escorted her home.

When Chen Lei saw them coming back together, he looked worried and asked Chen Huan'er what she had been doing so late with Jing Qichi. When Jing Qichi returned home, he found Lin Yifan helping Jing Liqiang pack his things. Jing Liqiang was being transferred, and before he left, he reminded Jing Qichi to keep playing football and take care of Lin Yifan. Unknowingly, his son had grown up.

When Chen Huan'er got home, she saw that her father had packed his suitcase. She felt a little bittersweet and suggested that they take a photo together to remember the moment. The new school year began, and Chen Huan'er and Jing Qichi entered their final year of high school. The classroom was quiet as everyone focused on their futures.

Jing Qichi noticed that no one was in the gym for physical education class, so he went by himself to the field. Lin Yifan, worried about Jing Qichi’s college entrance exams, wondered if she should find him a tutoring center.
