Early in the morning, Xu Jianming prepared breakfast attentively for Li Meng, surprising her with his thoughtfulness. Later, he accompanied her to visit her favorite sights and even overcame his fear to join her on a skywalk, laughing and chatting along the way. In the end, the misunderstandings and conflicts between them were resolved, and their relationship returned to its former closeness. Wu Kaitong was about to leave Macau for the United States.

Before departing, she bid farewell to her parents, making it clear that she would not forgive them. She also told them not to waste time trying to repair their relationship because, in her eyes, there was no right or wrong in the matter. Wu Kaitong believed that if the three of them truly wanted to stay connected, they needed to start over as friends, respecting and cherishing one another, which might lead to a better outcome.

Soon, Zhenqiang Kee hosted Xu Zhiqiang’s retirement banquet. Mai Youge, Wu Kaitong, and Chen Jiahui all attended, alongside neighbors and friends who came to celebrate this special moment with the Xu family. Xu Zhiqiang publicly thanked the neighbors, old colleagues, and his family for their support over the years.

He admitted that he had often wondered what he had been holding on to all this time, and finally realized it was simply to live without regret—to dedicate his life to one thing and leave no room for remorse. At the same time, Xu Zhiqiang acknowledged his regrets, especially regarding his eldest son, Xu Junhao.

He admitted that he had not spent enough time with him during his upbringing and had failed to provide him with the care and support a father should. Hearing his father’s words, Xu Junhao’s eyes turned red with emotion, and he raised his trembling hand to toast with everyone present. Meanwhile, as Han Junhao was on his way to the airport to leave Macau, he suddenly told the driver to turn around and rushed to Chen Jiahui’s residence.

He thought he wouldn’t get the chance to see her again, but as luck would have it, she was returning home just as he arrived. Overjoyed, Han Junhao fulfilled a half-joking promise he had made before, gifting her his trophy. The two embraced on the street. After Han Junhao left, Chen Jiahui found a matchbox he had left at her doorstep. Inside was a note.

Han Junhao explained that the matchbox, which Chen Jiahui had previously given him, originally contained three matches. The first match was used to wish for a racing victory, and the second to enter Chen Jiahui’s life—both of which had come true. Now, only the final match remained, and Han Junhao told Chen Jiahui that whatever wish she made with it would surely come true. On Wei Shijie’s performance day, Mrs. Lin personally attended to watch.

The performance went smoothly, and he ended it with a piece he composed himself, earning high praise. During the group photo session, Wei Shijie scanned the crowd, looking for Wu Kaitong. When he spotted a bouquet with her handwritten card, he looked up to see her standing not far away. They exchanged a smile from a distance. Xu Jiajia accompanied her mother, Tang Wei, to the airport.

Noticing Chen Shiyu’s attentiveness, she subtly encouraged Tang Wei to seize the opportunity for romance. While Chen Shiyu went to retrieve something, Tang Wei told Xu Jiajia that as one grows older, the more one cherishes something, the more one learns restraint. She then bid farewell to Xu Jiajia and boarded the plane with Chen Shiyu. At the same time, Mai Youge, having finished filming her promotional work, dragged her suitcase to the airport. Coincidentally, Han Junhao was also there.

The two noticed each other, exchanged smiles, but didn’t speak. After taking over his father’s Zhenqiang Kee restaurant, Xu Junle managed it skillfully. A year later, Mai Youge returned to the restaurant and ordered a bowl of “Mai Perfect Soup. ” Xu Junle had personally visited Mai Youge’s hometown to learn the essence of the soup, only to realize that its true meaning lay in sincerity. Mai Youge smiled warmly at his effort.

On the other hand, Chen Jiahui held a solo art exhibition in Macau titled “Sensory Paradise,” which received widespread acclaim. Han Junhao attended the exhibition and waited until Chen Jiahui appeared. The two stood in front of a painting and embraced tightly. Beside them was a painting symbolizing that life has no clear beginning or end—each encounter may be a new start.
