When Ding Zhitong arrived at work, she brought breakfast for Qin Yu and apologized about the apartment matter. At that moment, Dai Bola arrived and urgently called Ding Zhitong and Jia Fan to her office to prepare the materials needed for the next day's meeting. However, Ding Zhitong requested a day off tomorrow. Even though it meant her work might be re-evaluated or affect her probation period, she insisted on taking the leave. Dai Bola approved it.

Ding Zhitong told Wang Yi that she was going to Hangzhou to discuss cooperation details with Dr. Chen. Wang Yi hurriedly and secretly sent this information to Gan Yang, but Gan Yang caught him. Wang Yi had no choice but to explain the truth—that Ding Zhitong couldn’t reach Gan Yang and called Wang Yi instead, hoping to surprise Gan Yang the next day.

Gan Yang was overjoyed and told Wang Yi to let Ding Zhitong know to meet him at the airport the next day. The next day, when Ding Zhitong had already arrived at the airport, she received a call from Dai Bola. Jia Fan couldn't be contacted, and since only Ding Zhitong fully understood the model used in the meeting, she had to return immediately or she would be dismissed.

With no other option, Ding Zhitong rushed back to the company and threw herself into work. Gan Yang, who waited at the airport all along, didn’t see her and had to board the flight alone. After a full day of work, Ding Zhitong finally checked her phone. Dai Bola had sent her a message praising her, but she hadn’t received anything from Gan Yang.

Just as she was getting ready to leave work, she got a call from the hospital—Jia Fan had collapsed in his room from acute encephalitis and had been taken to the hospital by a neighbor. The hospital called her because her missed call was on Jia Fan’s phone. Ding Zhitong rushed to the hospital and saw Jia Fan unconscious. His ex-girlfriend had also come after hearing the news, but his family couldn’t be contacted.

Ding Zhitong had no choice but to inform Dai Bola, who only reminded her to take over Jia Fan’s work and asked nothing more about his condition. At the time, Dai Bola was in the president’s office discussing her potential promotion. Though the company initially wanted to hire externally, the president believed that since Dai Bola secured a big deal, she had a strong chance of being promoted.

Dai Bola didn’t want anything to affect her promotion, so she lied and said an employee had taken medical leave. Early the next morning, Dai Bola called Ding Zhitong and told her to return to the office immediately and not to answer any calls on the way—because Jia Fan had died. During the company inquiry, Ding Zhitong truthfully stated that she couldn’t reach Jia Fan and only went to the hospital because they called her.

Dai Bola had no choice but to stop the questioning. Wang Yi happily welcomed Gan Yang back, assuming he had met Ding Zhitong, but Gan Yang was clearly disappointed. Then he thought to himself that Ding Zhitong wouldn’t go back on a promise without a good reason—something must have happened. He quickly called Ding Zhitong, who burst into tears on the phone and told him Jia Fan had died. Gan Yang told her to wait for him.

Ding Zhitong anxiously drank beer in the rented apartment. When she saw Gan Yang’s car arrive, she rushed downstairs, and they embraced tightly. Ding Zhitong told Gan Yang what had happened with Jia Fan. She said that if she were in Jia Fan’s position, she might not have been more noble. Gan Yang hoped she would think seriously about what he had said before—what’s more important, money or life?

Ding Zhitong cried, realizing that without life, no amount of money mattered. She had once believed that earning money could get her everything she wanted. Ding Zhitong also told Gan Yang about her life with her mother—they had always depended on each other, yet she hadn’t given her mother a single good day. She knew Gan Yang had the ability to spend money on her, but she didn’t want their relationship to be impure.

Though she worked hard and didn’t have time to accompany Gan Yang, she really liked being with him. Gan Yang wiped her tears and understood her stubbornness, but he also expressed his own thoughts—he called her every day because he was afraid something might happen to her on the way, and he rented the apartment to give her a better life. He hoped she could move in, eat and sleep well, and take care of herself.

He said if she broke her health for work, then nothing would be left. Ding Zhitong hugged him tightly, which counted as her agreement. But she also wrote him an IOU. Gan Yang reduced the rent by half, saying he’d be living there too, and added at the end that the amount could count toward her monthly spending. Ding Zhitong felt she had gained, but Gan Yang believed he was the one who had gained.

At work, Ding Zhitong was called into Dai Bola’s office and was given a notice confirming her full-time status. Dai Bola also expressed hope that Jia Fan’s matter wouldn’t affect her. Gan Yang secured sponsorship from Dr. Chen and established his first company in Shanghai. He brought Ding Zhitong to tour the place he had set up, and Ding Zhitong reserved the first pair of shoes produced by the company. Gan Yang agreed dotingly.

Since they now worked in the same city, they saw each other more often, cooked meals together, and went out together. When Gan Yang returned home, he found Ding Zhitong had made many paper cranes. She wanted to hang them on the window just like at home—when the wind blew, it would look like they were flying. Gan Yang was very happy that Ding Zhitong was starting to treat the place as home. Ding Zhitong also made porridge for Gan Yang.

He said it was delicious, but Ding Zhitong didn’t believe him and tried it herself—it was actually very bad. Gan Yang gave some suggestions to improve it. The two of them enjoyed the food together, brushed their teeth together, went jogging together, and lived a carefree, happy life for a while. Gan Yang wished it could go on forever, but he had to return to school next week.

Ding Zhitong comforted him, saying she would always be waiting for him to come back. Suddenly, Gan Yang bit into her ice cream and ran off, making Ding Zhitong chase him, hitting him in frustration.
