Jiang Xiaoyuan went to Chongqing and was stopped by security guards downstairs at Jiang Bo's studio. Unable to reach him by phone, she waited downstairs the entire day until Jiang Bo finally came down to pick her up. He even gave her a month's salary in advance. Under Jiang Xiaoyuan's incessant chatter, Jiang Bo arranged for her to stay in a dormitory not open to the public. Qi Lian kept calling, and after much contemplation, Jiang Xiaoyuan finally answered, telling him she had returned to Luoshan City. Qi Lian hid the fact that he had been in a car accident from Jiang Xiaoyuan, and she cooperated with the act. She claimed to have quit her job at the hair salon and moved to Chongqing, expressing her reluctance to investigate the Bright Light Laboratory further; she just wanted to move forward. Qi Lian remained silent, agreeing to whatever she said, even suggesting he might visit her in Chongqing. After holding back her tears for a long time, Jiang Xiaoyuan uttered hurtful words, advising Qi Lian to look forward and not remain stuck in one place.

Jiang Xiaoyuan knew she should be firm and stop contacting Qi Lian. Without her, Qi Lian would surely live a better life. However, Qi Lian's emotions seemed to be on the brink of collapse, and in a daze, he even saw Xu Jingyang coming toward him. Xu Jingyang said Qi Lian should consider himself an imaginary childhood playmate. But if Xu Jingyang was just a product of Qi Lian's imagination, why did Jiang Xiaoyuan also know the answer? Qi Lian refused to admit that he already knew the answer.

After being discharged from the hospital, Qi Lian's father took him home, and Qi Lian went back to the company after that. In his home, Qi Lian found a locked box. Xu Jingyang urged him to open it quickly. Qi Lian opened it, and to no one's surprise, there were contracts from the Lighthouse experiment, dated 2012. The answer had always been with Qi Lian, and the one with problems was always himself.

To meet Jiang Bo's requirements, Jiang Xiaoyuan worked late into the night. Unexpectedly, her menstrual cycle began, and she was hit by a bicycle when she went out to buy things. To avoid embarrassment, she sat down abruptly. At this critical moment, Qi Lian appeared again to help her avoid embarrassment. Qi Lian understood Jiang Xiaoyuan's implied message but didn't want to end things unclearly. Regardless of whether Jiang Xiaoyuan would go crazy, Qi Lian didn't care because this was his just reward. Qi Lian pressed Jiang Xiaoyuan for the reason she pushed him away, and Jiang Xiaoyuan, stubbornly, said she was annoyed by him. Unbeknownst to her, Qi Lian had seen her at the scene of the car accident and finally understood. The people from the Bright Light Laboratory had found Jiang Xiaoyuan and threatened her safety by using those close to her. Jiang Xiaoyuan admitted everything, then left resolutely. From now on, they should each live their own lives.

After a tearful breakdown, Jiang Xiaoyuan returned to the dormitory to work overtime. Qi Lian firmly believed that all this was not a coincidence and needed to quickly identify the mastermind behind it. Jiang Xiaoyuan had a keen eye today, but Jiang Bo seemed preoccupied because he unintentionally overheard his mother on the phone, instructing someone to closely monitor Jiang Xiaoyuan's data. Qi Lian had someone check the surveillance footage and found that Jiang Xiaoyuan was in an abnormal state when she picked him up. Perhaps, before that, Jiang Xiaoyuan had already been threatened. Qi Lian also knew that involving the police was not an option, as it would put Jiang Xiaoyuan's grandmother in danger.

Jiang Xiaoyuan learned a lot from Jiang Bo, and tomorrow he asked her to accompany him on a business trip. Criticizing her clothes, Jiang Bo suggested she borrow clothes from a classmate. Inadvertently, she also found out that the salary for a school teaching assistant was only sixteen hundred yuan per month, and Jiang Bo was probably supplementing it by giving her three thousand yuan.
