The bus reached its final stop. Ding Zhitong got off from the back door, then reboarded through the front door. Repeatedly riding the bus brought her a sense of peace and joy. When she saw Gan Yang’s message asking where she was, Ding Zhitong didn’t rush to reply. Instead, she held her phone tightly in her palm, the smile on her lips growing wider. At the bus stop, Gan Yang sat waiting with a bouquet of flowers.

When Ding Zhitong got off the bus, the two of them sat on a bench inside the bus, chatting. Gan Yang shared that running along the streets and rivers always relieved his stress, just like how riding the bus helped Ding Zhitong clear her mind. Neither expected they had this in common. Originally, Ding Zhitong had agreed to hang out with Gan Yang, but plans couldn’t keep up with change. A phone call reminded her to quickly submit her thesis.

She rushed back, and Gan Yang offered to drive her. He insisted that this time she wasn’t allowed to calculate the fuel cost. The two exchanged smiles and hurried back to campus. Back at the dorm, Ding Zhitong’s roommates saw her return with the bouquet and couldn’t help teasing her about her relationship with Gan Yang.

But Ding Zhitong didn’t admit anything—she just said that if he was still giving her flowers five years from now, then maybe she’d consider it. The next day, Ding Zhitong went to a farm to experience rural life and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. Coincidentally, Gan Yang was also visiting the same place. Even though they came from very different family backgrounds, they shared surprising similarities in interests and values, as if they were kindred spirits.

At a convenience store, Ding Zhitong happened to overhear Li Fei and another person criticizing Gan Yang behind his back. Angered, she devised a plan—she deliberately spilled water on Li Fei, exposing his fake designer brand. Humiliated, Li Fei shoved her. At that moment, Gan Yang happened to walk by. Without hesitation, he stepped in to protect Ding Zhitong. Because of Gan Yang’s status, Li Fei had no choice but to apologize.

Afterward, Gan Yang apologized to Ding Zhitong, and she honestly told him the truth about Li Fei. Rather than being upset, Gan Yang was secretly pleased by her concern for him. Song Mingmei, in her determination to attend the summit, went to great lengths. She bought drinks for Qin Chang and falsely claimed it was to thank him for helping her with her studies. Later, at a bathhouse, Gan Yang overheard Li Fei and his friend badmouthing him again.

This confirmed what Ding Zhitong had said, and Gan Yang promptly fired them, saying he wouldn’t be needing their help with shoe testing anymore. In Qin Chang’s class, Song Mingmei, who usually arrived late, not only came early this time but also took the initiative to distribute study materials to her classmates. Qin Chang then pulled out the invitation to the investment summit and announced that whoever won the mock competition would receive the invitation.

After class, Song Mingmei asked if Qin Chang was deliberately making things difficult for her. Upon learning he was treating everyone equally, she declared determinedly that she would earn that invitation herself. Late at night, Ding Zhitong was walking through a dark area on her way back from a part-time job. A shadowy figure and a ladder on the roadside startled her, and she fell and got injured. Still shaken, she returned to the dorm to treat her wounds.

The next day, Wang Yi opened the fridge and found that the jam he had made with care was missing—as expected, Gan Yang had taken it to please Ding Zhitong. Gan Yang noticed her injured hand and, upon learning it was due to a broken streetlight, went that night with Wang Yi to "catch ghosts" and investigate. That night, Ding Zhitong once again passed through the same path.

Just as Li Fei was about to confront her, Gan Yang and Wang Yi dragged him aside. They showed him surveillance evidence, warning him not to seek revenge again. Still, Gan Yang couldn’t resist scolding him. The next day, worried that Ding Zhitong might be afraid, Gan Yang and Wang Yi deliberately talked loudly along that path to ease her fear. But Ding Zhitong spotted them, and Wang Yi awkwardly made his exit.

While walking with Gan Yang, Ding Zhitong casually asked if his shoe designs could make people who don’t like running fall in love with it. This sparked Gan Yang’s inspiration. He hoped Ding Zhitong could be the first person to test his shoes. The next day, they met at a café to discuss interview strategies, but Ding Zhitong’s laptop broke down.

Gan Yang volunteered to fix it, suspecting the problem was with the hard drive and saying he would need to open it up. Ding Zhitong thanked him sincerely. Gan Yang brought the laptop back but didn’t actually know how to repair it. He prepared Wang Yi’s favorite steak and urged him to check the laptop in the dorm.

Wang Yi, after inspecting it, called it a relic and complained that Gan Yang’s way of pursuing a girl was way too unconventional—others send flowers, while Gan Yang always does something unusual. Even though Wang Yi didn’t know how to fix it either, he suggested taking it to a professional. The repair technician said the laptop was too outdated and could only be used temporarily. Gan Yang immediately asked them to keep the exterior and replace all the internal components.

When Ding Zhitong saw how fast her laptop had become, she couldn’t believe it was still hers. She offered to treat Gan Yang to a meal at the cafeteria, but Gan Yang said that wasn’t sincere enough—he wanted to watch a movie. Ding Zhitong was hesitant about the ticket prices, but Gan Yang jokingly said student tickets were half-price, making it sound more reasonable, so she agreed. Just as they arrived at the cinema, Ding Zhitong received a call from school.

She was told to pick up a court summons—it was for her uncle, and if not handled properly, it might affect her graduation. She quickly apologized to Gan Yang and rushed back.
