Before the party started, Du Wei thoughtfully buttoned up Jing Qichi’s shirt and even linked her arm with his when they were taking the group photo. In the next second, Jing Qichi quickly pulled away. Huang Lu saw the group photo on the forum, and Chen Huan’er visibly looked disappointed. Before the event began, only two people had arrived. Thankfully, Tian Chi and Jing Qichi's roommates showed up, which helped avoid an awkward situation.

The women’s self-defense activity started, and Chen Huan’er’s original intention was to encourage the girls to act boldly when in danger. Zhou Ye volunteered to demonstrate, but when Chen Huan’er performed a shoulder throw, it scared off two people. It turned out that Zhou Ye was just acting, and it was all arranged by Huang Lu and Dong Huixin. Chen Huan’er felt extremely disappointed. Thankfully, more people began to arrive and joined the activity.

When Chen Huan’er was practicing the moves again, Tian Chi came up to help. Chen Huan’er asked him to hug her from behind. This awkward moment was just in time for Jing Qichi, who had rushed over, to see. Jing Qichi, looking worn out, immediately said the move was too dangerous and that it was better for him to do it. After all, they had agreed that he would act as her human punching bag.

Chen Huan’er had no choice but to ask Tian Chi to step down and let Jing Qichi hold her from behind. Jing Qichi ended up being thrown to the ground in the process. After the event, Zhou Ye suggested they go out to eat to celebrate, but Jing Qichi received a call from Du Wei and left, saying he couldn’t join them for dinner. After what happened that day, Chen Huan’er felt like Jing Qichi had become a little distant.

Huang Lu patiently tried to comfort her, even gossiping about Chen Huan’er’s relationship with Tian Chi, but Chen Huan’er didn’t have any romantic interest in him. Although he was a nice guy, Huang Lu nagged her like a mother, encouraging her to date and go out more, making Chen Huan’er feel like she was being lectured by Liao Xinyan. Jing Qichi arrived at the place Du Wei had asked him to meet.

In fact, just a minute after the party had started, Jing Qichi had already promoted Chen Huan’er’s event, but he was quickly dragged away. He knew he hadn’t done the right thing, so he came to meet Du Wei as promised. Du Wei had already taken care of things from today, but the reason she invited Jing Qichi was for a different purpose. Jing Qichi owed her a favor, and it would need to be repaid.

Jing Qichi knew her intentions and told her he would find time to treat her to a meal before leaving. The next day, when Jing Qichi came to his duty shift, he found that Chen Huan’er had put on makeup because she was going to have dinner with Tian Chi. Jing Qichi immediately perked up and offered to go with her, but Chen Huan’er turned him down.

Du Wei then invited Jing Qichi to join her and others to watch a movie organized by the literary arts club. Because he had just been rejected by Chen Huan’er, he accepted her invitation, his words laced with a hint of jealousy. After dinner, Chen Huan’er and Tian Chi went to the cinema, and Tian Chi suggested watching a movie. The student union had provided the tickets.

Chen Huan’er hesitated at first, but when she thought about how Jing Qichi had accepted Du Wei’s invitation, she agreed. When they arrived at the cinema, Jing Qichi couldn’t find any other students from the student union, and something didn’t feel right. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Huan’er and Tian Chi walked in and took seats in the same row as him.

Although Jing Qichi felt uncomfortable, he stayed, his gaze filled with jealousy as he looked at them. Chen Huan’er felt the same, watching the two sit together, sulking as she shoved popcorn into her mouth. Tian Chi was startled by her reaction. Back at the dorm, Chen Huan’er was downcast, and Zhou Ye handed Jing Qichi the medicine Chen Huan’er had given him after the dinner party, along with a small note. Jing Qichi immediately brightened up.

Huang Lu thought Du Wei and Jing Qichi were really involved, but Qiu Li sent them a video of Jing Qichi promoting the sports department’s event to prove that there was nothing going on between them. Chen Huan’er’s gloom was lifted, and just then, Jing Qichi called to say he wanted to take her to a nice place.

He had previously promised to accompany Chen Huan’er to see the sea at Sishui, but he hadn’t been able to fulfill it, so he took her to the swimming pool to make up for it. Chen Huan’er and Jing Qichi were both jealous but too proud to admit it, two stubborn people awkwardly avoiding the truth. Chen Huan’er apologized for causing a scene at the party for Jing Qichi, but he still hadn’t gotten rid of Du Wei’s entanglement.

That day, Du Wei asked Jing Qichi to come downstairs, saying she wanted to speak with him. When he went down, he found a circle of people gathered around. Du Wei was holding a pink rose and waiting for him. Jing Qichi wasn’t pleased but didn’t directly refuse her. Instead, he pulled her aside to speak to her, and Chen Huan’er, who happened to be passing by, misunderstood the situation.

Jing Qichi rejected Du Wei, and although she wasn’t angry, she could tell that he liked Chen Huan’er. However, Jing Qichi refused to admit it. The two of them had grown too close, which made it difficult to see their true feelings for one another. After class, Tian Chi said he wanted to go to the library with Chen Huan’er, but Jing Qichi unexpectedly didn’t follow them. Instead, he ignored the two of them.
