The unexpected encounter between Ding Zhitong and Gan Yang at the train station left them both overjoyed, nearly causing them to miss their train. Ding Zhitong boarded the train, panting from running, while Qin Yu, understanding the emotions of a long-distance relationship, didn’t blame her at all. When Qin Yu went to the restroom, Gan Yang called again. The two cherished this rare meeting and shared their joy, but the train suddenly entered a tunnel.

Both panicked and rushed toward the train doors, thinking their phones had issues—only to be reminded by others that it was just a tunnel. Ding Zhitong had originally planned to take time to visit home while accompanying Dai Bola to Hangzhou to meet a client. She hadn’t been home in half a year and missed her mother. But things didn’t go as planned. During the investors' meeting, a small data discrepancy arose. Although Mr.

Huang from the investors’ side didn’t make a fuss, Dai Bola was furious and rated Ding Zhitong with a grade one assessment. In fact, it was all Jia Fan’s doing behind the scenes. Before the meeting, Dai Bola had asked Jia Fan to deliver a document to Ding Zhitong, but because she was too focused on editing a previous proposal, she didn’t hear the knock. Jia Fan left with the materials on purpose.

Feeling down, Ding Zhitong sent a message to Gan Yang. He was at an investors' meeting with Dr. Chen but noticed her low mood and quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving Dr. Chen to hold the fort. Dr. Chen understood Gan Yang’s devotion to love and didn’t blame him. When the video call connected, Ding Zhitong forced a smile and pretended to be upbeat, but Gan Yang saw through her.

He hoped she would be her true self in front of him without putting up a front. Ding Zhitong couldn’t hold back her tears and told Gan Yang their original plan had been canceled—they were heading to Jinan instead. That evening, Ding Zhitong called her mother to say she couldn’t come home.

Before the call ended, Qin Yu came over to tell her the trip was delayed again, the ticket was rescheduled, and they would leave for Jinan the next day. Ding Zhitong, afraid the plan would change again, didn’t dare tell her mother. Then someone called to say a package had arrived. Ding Zhitong thought it was a gift from Gan Yang, but to her surprise, Gan Yang suddenly appeared from behind, covering her eyes.

Ding Zhitong jokingly guessed a couple of male names, sparking Gan Yang’s jealousy. Gan Yang insisted on driving her home that night, saying he only had that one night. Ding Zhitong was confused how Gan Yang knew everything even though she hadn’t said a word, but quickly guessed he must’ve found a way to get Dai Bola to change the schedule. In fact, Dai Bola had tried to meet Dr. Chen before but was always declined.

Gan Yang specially asked Dr. Chen to agree to a meeting, which led Dai Bola to adjust the plan. Gan Yang thoughtfully prepared many gifts and snacks for the ride but didn’t go inside with her. When Ding Zhitong got home and found her mother wasn’t there, she immediately guessed she had gone out to run the pancake stall. She found her mother there, who got flustered and tried to pack up, but Ding Zhitong helped make the pancake.

The neighbors all praised her mother for having such a good daughter, and her mother was full of pride. Back home, her mother made all of Ding Zhitong’s favorite dishes. Ding Zhitong made her promise not to run the stall in bad weather or when feeling unwell, and her mother agreed. Still worried, Ding Zhitong added the neighbor on WeChat to keep an eye on her. Her mother also made spiced beef for her to bring along.

Ding Zhitong brought it to meet Gan Yang, just as Feng Sheng showed up and happened to see it. Feeling disheartened, he quietly left. While waiting, Gan Yang set up a romantic light display and gave Ding Zhitong a pair of earrings. She was overjoyed, but when she saw the scratches on his hand from setting everything up, her heart ached. The two locked eyes affectionately and kissed.

On the way back, Ding Zhitong fell asleep in the car, holding a jar of origami crane lights Gan Yang had made. He took a picture of her sleeping before gently waking her, knowing if she kept sleeping like that, she’d be sore the next day. They reluctantly said goodbye. Ding Zhitong left her mother’s spiced beef with Gan Yang, and he promised to visit her mother next time.

Right after she left, Gan Yang received a text from Wang Yi saying there was an issue with the running shoes—netizens suspected a publicity stunt. Ding Zhitong went to find Dr. Chen, suggesting he visit Wang Yi’s studio and trusting his judgment. Dr. Chen visited the studio, and Gan Yang used a livestream to clear up the rumors. When asked for his opinion, Dr. Chen simply said, with deeper meaning, that the studio’s coffee was quite good.

After the video aired, netizens overwhelmingly praised Gan Yang. Ding Zhitong also messaged him, saying she saw the video and thought her boyfriend looked radiant. Dai Bola remained impressed with Ding Zhitong and let her continue working on Mr. Huang’s case. After the company review, Ding Zhitong received a five-star rating and excitedly took a photo. Gan Yang called, inviting her to a concert—he was already in Shanghai. She ran to meet him, and they embraced joyfully.

Since they hadn’t planned it in advance, they couldn’t get tickets, but they happily sat outside listening to the music, feeling content. Ever since being together, they felt the other’s smile was their own happiness. But the weather didn’t cooperate. A sudden downpour hit. Gan Yang covered Ding Zhitong with his coat as they ran to her apartment. Since she shared the place, they sat together on the steps outside, cuddling and whispering sweet nothings.

In the bliss of new love, they kissed, undisturbed even when passersby interrupted. Just as Gan Yang was about to walk back to his hotel, Ding Zhitong’s roommate called, telling him to stay the night, assuring them it wouldn’t bother her. Ding Zhitong happily agreed and sent Gan Yang to take a hot shower. She set up a floor bed for him, feeling bad that someone who lived in a big villa was staying in such humble conditions for her.

Gan Yang didn’t mind at all—he just wanted to hold her hand as he slept. But then he noticed a rat and jumped onto the chair in fear. When Ding Zhitong, half-asleep, asked what was going on, he couldn’t admit he was scared and lied, saying he needed to use the bathroom. That night, he stayed alert, slipper in hand, unable to sleep.

Ding Zhitong noticed he hadn’t slept well and started considering asking for a raise to move to a better place. She didn’t want him to keep suffering like this. But Gan Yang said he didn’t mind feeding mosquitoes, as long as he could stay with her. To let her rest peacefully, he held her hand with one hand and kept the slipper ready in the other, prepared to protect her from any intruding pests.
