Jing Qichi took some time to call Chen Huan'er and tell her about what was happening at the company. Chen Huan'er supported him in everything he did. She mentioned that she had just run into Tian Chi and that they might be working together on experiments in the future. Worried that Jing Qichi would mind, she hesitated before bringing it up.

Jing Qichi acted tough and said that as long as it was good for her studies, he had no problem with it. At the lab, Chen Huan'er was constantly ordered around by her senior, who even made her write his research report. She felt that this went beyond her responsibilities. If discovered, it could be a serious issue. Chen Huan'er refused, and Tian Chi stepped in to support her. However, this only angered the senior even more.

Everyone was stumbling through the inevitable journey of growth. Jing Qichi sent Chen Huan'er a bunch of items with his photo printed on them—to keep her company in his absence. Long-distance relationships were already difficult. Jing Qichi was getting busier and busier, and it was becoming harder for Chen Huan'er to reach him. Many times, she could only catch glimpses of him through Fu Ying’s social media posts.

Meanwhile, Du Man received a call from the police station and found out that her mother was a scammer. Not only had she believed her mother, but she had also given her all her savings. Song Cong once again took out a coin and asked her if she wanted to try again. They played the claw machine several times and finally caught a plush toy. That moment of joy was real.

One day, Chen Huan'er had a stomachache and messaged Jing Qichi, but he was still caught up with work. The next day, Jing Qichi called to comfort her, but before they could talk for long, he was suddenly called into a meeting. Chen Huan'er's stomach pain worsened. While doing an experiment, she could no longer hold on and fainted in front of Tian Chi. When Jing Qichi finally had time to call her back, he couldn’t reach her at all.

He tried video calling her and was shocked to see that she was in the hospital. She had a severe case of gastroenteritis and was on an IV drip. Jing Qichi was frustrated with himself. Just then, Tian Chi arrived with some porridge for Chen Huan'er. Chen Huan'er quickly lowered her phone to hide the screen. Jing Qichi was in a terrible mood. Unable to rest easy, he grabbed his driver's license, rented a car, and drove straight back to Wu'an.

After finishing her IV drip, Chen Huan'er realized that Tian Chi had been waiting for her the whole time. Worried about her being alone, he insisted on walking her back to the dorm. Just as they arrived, Jing Qichi returned—only to witness this scene. Jealousy hit him hard. But before he could say anything, Tian Chi criticized him first. "How could you not even know she was sick?

"Back in her dorm, Chen Huan'er had just sat down when she got a call from her senior, telling her to pack up and leave for a research trip the next day. She wanted to delay it for a couple of days because of her health, but in order to secure her name on the project, she agreed to go. Jing Qichi texted her, saying he was downstairs. Excited, Chen Huan'er rushed down to meet him.

But Jing Qichi, still upset about Tian Chi walking her back, lost his temper. All the frustrations of long-distance poured out in that moment. Chen Huan'er didn’t want to argue. She told Jing Qichi to go back so he wouldn’t delay his work, and she needed to pack for the trip anyway. Jing Qichi visited a loyal Yangwu user, hoping to get some suggestions.

The user had actually been hoping to meet him, too—because of Yangwu, he had made friends and met like-minded people. Jing Qichi called Chen Huan'er several times, but she still wasn’t picking up. When he called Tian Chi, he finally found out that she had gone to Tonglin Village for research. There, her senior had left her alone in the mountains to monitor data. Jing Qichi immediately got in his car and rushed over—there was a heavy rainstorm forecasted.

Realizing he couldn’t make it back to Beijing in time, he handed over the project plan to Fu Ying and asked her to present it on his behalf. Jing Qichi anxiously drove to Tonglin Village. This was also the place where Jing Liqiang had his accident years ago. Braving the storm, Jing Qichi ran into the mountains, calling out Chen Huan'er's name. In his daze, he seemed to see Jing Liqiang waving at him through the firelight.

Just then, Chen Huan'er appeared and grabbed his arm. After the rain stopped, they went to the supply station for sample collection. Chen Huan'er gave Jing Qichi a sample of soil from the fire site—she understood what was on his mind. It had been a long time since they had sat together like this. Jing Qichi started questioning whether going to Beijing had been the right choice. Yes, he had been busy. But inside, he felt empty.

Chen Huan'er felt the same way. She told Jing Qichi the story behind her name. To her, Jing Qichi was someone special. He never dismissed her thoughts. Chen Huan'er had always been grateful to have met Jing Qichi, and she never regretted being with him.
