Mai Youge visited the bustling Zhenqiangji Restaurant, where she was warmly welcomed by the owner, Lao Xu. Upon learning that she was an out-of-town business traveler in Macau, Lao Xu quietly stepped out and bought her a mango dessert. After enjoying her meal, Mai Youge thanked Lao Xu with satisfaction. Not only did she savor the delicious food, but she also felt the warmth and friendliness of the people of Macau.

As she left Zhenqiangji Restaurant, Mai Youge unexpectedly ran into Xu Junle. Their coincidental encounter stirred emotions in both of them. Xu Junle suggested accompanying her on a walk through the streets of Macau to enjoy the vibrant nightscape. Walking side by side, they shared their views on life. Knowing that Mai Youge was returning to Beijing, Xu Junle felt reluctant to see her go and hoped they could explore Macau together again someday.

Sitting on the steps, Mai Youge remarked on the slower pace of life in Macau. Xu Junle responded by saying that money could never be fully earned, and sacrificing one’s life for money was not worth it. Hearing Xu Junle’s words, Mai Youge reflected on her life, constantly striving and never truly finding peace. To her, home felt more like a temporary lodging than a sanctuary.

However, Xu Junle disagreed with her tense and exhausting lifestyle, feeling that she was shackled by work. This difference in perspective led to a disagreement, and they parted on bad terms. As the sun rose, Mai Youge sat in a car, watching the scenery pass by through the window, her emotions in turmoil. Meanwhile, Han Junhao intentionally visited the art gallery, hoping to encounter Chen Jiahui. He paused before a painting hidden behind a sheer white veil.

Seeing this, Chen Jiahui approached him, and the two began discussing their thoughts on the artwork. Isabella secretly snapped a photo of them and sent it to Chen Jiahui, reminding her of Yvonne’s words: if she could experience a passionate, reckless love, she might better understand Marlena’s creative process. Elsewhere, Xu Junhao sought out Wu Kaitong, informing her that she would be accompanying a special guest: Wei Shijie, the son of Ms. Lin, the director of the headquarters’ HR department.

This task was specifically assigned to her by Frank. When Wu Kaitong met Frank, she discovered he was just a young boy. She then arranged an itinerary for him in Macau, reporting to Ms. Lin daily. However, Wei Shijie was unwilling to attend piano lessons. Initially, he thought Wu Kaitong was different from others, but now he felt disappointed and even questioned whether her work had any real meaning.

That night, an exhausted Wu Kaitong returned home and sat on the sofa, pondering Frank’s words. Meanwhile, Mai Youge was cleaning the house and discovered that the food in the fridge had spoiled. Although Wu Kaitong considered asking for a reassignment, she realized that her job appointment was linked to Ms. Lin. Failing to take good care of Frank might jeopardize her career prospects. The next morning, Wu Kaitong changed her approach to dealing with Frank.

Noticing that he disliked attending lessons, she found an excuse to cancel his class and took him to visit an art gallery instead. At the same time, Chen Jiahui received a cake delivered by Han Junhao to the gallery. It was a cake she had long wanted but hadn’t bought due to the long queues. Puzzled, she wondered how Han Junhao knew about her preference.

Unable to find a better way to communicate with the boy, Wu Kaitong sought advice from Chen Jiahui. Chen suggested treating Wei Shijie the same way one might handle a man, as the principles of male psychology often overlap with those of child psychology. Inspired by this advice, Wu Kaitong managed to win Wei Shijie’s favor. At the He Dong Library, Han Junhao showed up uninvited, creating another “coincidental” encounter.

Chen Jiahui saw through his intentions, and Han Junhao took the opportunity to ask about her daily life in Macau, wanting to know more about her. During their conversation, Chen Jiahui revealed that she had been living in Macau for four years and had one year left to fulfill her dream: organizing an art exhibition in collaboration with an artist she admired.
