Chen Jiahui had been living in Macau for many years and was already a well-known art curator in the area. She had her own unique perspectives and approaches toward both love and work. Her ex-boyfriend couldn’t forget her and frequently sent her flowers. While her colleague Xiaowen wanted to throw them away, Chen Jiahui happily accepted them and placed them in her office to brighten the space.

This gesture didn’t mean she wanted to reconcile; she simply thought wasting them would be shameful. Her friend Yvonne came over to inform Chen Jiahui that the artist Marlena had rejected her proposal, citing that Chen Jiahui didn’t truly understand the creator's thoughts and emotions. Chen Jiahui had devoted considerable time and effort to this project, so it was inevitable that she felt a little disappointed.

Yvonne told her that she had secured a second chance for the proposal and advised her to delve deeper into the meaning behind each artwork. Yvonne also mentioned that the Asia Exhibition had already been set for Macau, and securing this opportunity would open doors to collaborations with many artists. After taking on the task, Chen Jiahui hurried to her colleague and friend Isabella’s house. She tried to persuade Isabella to move past her heartbreak and refocus on work.

Thanks to Chen Jiahui’s encouragement, Isabella’s mood improved. However, since Isabella wasn’t as professional as Chen Jiahui, Chen had to step in to save the situation at work. Meanwhile, Xu Junle had initially thought that accompanying Mai Youge would be a relaxing sightseeing trip. To his surprise, Mai Youge acted like a triathlon athlete, tirelessly moving from one location to another with boundless energy. In contrast, Han Junhao encountered difficulties on the first day of his team’s training camp.

He made a rookie mistake while adjusting the brake discs, disrupting the entire training schedule. The team leader, anxious about the situation, offered to help Han Junhao with the adjustments but urged him to reset his mindset and not let a past failure completely demoralize him. Shaohui, an employee, requested two hours off from Wu Kaitong to attend his grandfather’s 80th birthday celebration. However, his sudden leave disrupted the PR department’s work schedule, which made Wu Kaitong furious.

They got into a conflict, and Wu even threatened to dock Shaohui’s year-end bonus. Angered, Shaohui accused Wu Kaitong of being cold-hearted and solely focused on transferring to the U. S. headquarters, while neglecting the fact that life isn’t just about work but also about family and friends. His words struck a chord with Wu Kaitong.

Throughout the day, Xu Junle accompanied Mai Youge to various tourist spots, introducing her to local architectural culture and taking her to a restaurant for a meal. Mai Youge, under pressure from work, turned her stress into appetite, savoring the local cuisine. At the dining table, she confided in Xu Junle about her terrible experiences in Macau and her frustrations with work and life.

Feeling sympathetic, Xu Junle promised to accompany her to enjoy delicious food every day as long as she stayed in Macau. As they left the restaurant, Xu Junle snapped a photo of Mai Youge’s back and took her to a phone store to retrieve her repaired phone. The shop owner, as a friend of Xu Junle, didn’t charge for the repair.

Later, while forwarding photos from that day, Xu Junle accidentally sent her the picture of her back, causing a slight ripple in her heart. Meanwhile, Chen Jiahui and Isabella were at a bar drinking when Han Junhao spotted them and immediately recognized Chen Jiahui as the female rider from the previous night.

Charles, the team manager, informed Han Junhao that the sponsor was considering replacing him with Tōmoto Dōshin as their new ambassador, citing not only a better image match but also the public misconception of Han Junhao being a playboy due to his lack of a romantic relationship. Charles suggested that Han Junhao take a girlfriend to the brand’s gala to subtly announce a relationship and dispel the rumors. Feeling conflicted, Han Junhao’s gaze remained fixed on Chen Jiahui.

Late at night, after bidding farewell to her friends, Chen Jiahui stood alone outside the bar and lit a match. Han Junhao approached her, curious about her reason for lighting matches. Chen Jiahui replied that there wasn’t any special reason; she simply felt the moment called for it. Before leaving, Chen Jiahui handed the matchbox to Han Junhao.

From the rearview mirror of her taxi, she noticed Han Junhao mimicking her by striking a match, which brought a smile to her face. The next morning, Chen Jiahui’s ex-boyfriend sent her flowers again. Unbothered, she commented on his actions, saying that some people might make good boyfriends but not good husbands, and cutting her losses in time was the best way to protect herself. Meanwhile, Han Junhao’s teammates encouraged him to express his feelings bravely if he met someone he liked.
