Jiang Xiaoyuan sits outside the house, nibbling on a steamed bun, when suddenly three menacing men approach, inquiring about Qi Lian's whereabouts and even throwing her steamed bun. Before Jiang Xiaoyuan can react, Qi Lian returns, and the aggressors, clamoring to stand up to Qi Lian, end up receiving a lesson from him. Witnessing this, Jiang Xiaoyuan feels a bit scared, quickly offers the owed two hundred yuan in a respectful manner, and Qi Lian explains that he is now involved in some small business and occasional internet activities, and the men were rivals seeking him.

Qi Lian takes Jiang Xiaoyuan inside the house. Initially uneasy, she becomes frightened when she sees him holding a knife and rushes to leave. However, Qi Lian insists she stays to share a meal of curry-covered rice. Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, Jiang Xiaoyuan devours her portion at the table and realizes that the person in front of her might not be as fearsome as she thought. She attributes his actions to assistance rooted in fellow-township camaraderie. While wandering around Qi Lian's home, Jiang Xiaoyuan accidentally enters a room filled with photos of dead people. Shocked, she attempts to flee but is cornered by Qi Lian.

Qi Lian speeds with Jiang Xiaoyuan on the highway, and upon reaching their destination, he drops her off and runs away. Qi Lian helps Jiang Xiaoyuan secure a job at a salon owned by their old friend Chen Fangzhou, although Jiang Xiaoyuan acts as if she doesn't recognize him. It's a high-end salon, and Jiang Xiaoyuan starts as an apprentice, but she gets free meals and accommodation.

Qi Lian finds information about Jiang Xiaoyuan during the years she went missing. She faced many hardships, working since entering school. Her poor relationship with wealthy classmates resulted in social isolation, and after a while, there was no news about her. Qi Lian is deeply saddened, wondering why Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't come to find him all these years. Chen Fangzhou arranges for Jiang Xiaoyuan to stay in the employee dorms, revealing that she and Qi Lian were inseparable in the past. They went to Chongqing for college, but she didn't inform Qi Lian, which deeply saddened him. Jiang Xiaoyuan decides to stay temporarily, finding it more respectable than the illegal internet cafe.

Assigned to the hair-washing section, Jiang Xiaoyuan faces exclusion and even goes without food. If not for Chen Fangzhou sharing his meal with her, she would go hungry. Confronted with colleagues' provocations, Jiang Xiaoyuan remains defiant. After work, she discovers Qi Lian waiting for her at the door. Despite her fear of him, Qi Lian returns her ID card and takes her to a supermarket to buy daily necessities. Qi Lian's gaze is complicated, and Jiang Xiaoyuan, choosing a leather jacket, bankrupts herself when she sees the bill.

Jiang Xiaoyuan realizes belatedly that Qi Lian's assistance is due to his fondness for the Jiang Xiaoyuan of this world. If he discovers she's an impostor, she fears he might act impulsively. She persists in searching for the time-space portal, frequently checking information while at work. Chen Fangzhou continues to pester her for hair-washing practice, making her even more frustrated. Qi Lian believes that Xu Jingyang must still be somewhere in this world. After being injured years ago, Xu Jingyang mentioned the possibility of leaving Qi Lian's world, but Qi Lian has never believed in his words.
