Gu Yu drove Tang Qi home when Tang Qi suddenly realized that he could see colors on someone again. Curious, he wanted to follow and see who that person was. Meanwhile, at the editor’s gathering, Lin Yuan’s long-time rival kept making sarcastic remarks toward her. Just then, Quan Shengtang suddenly appeared, holding a bouquet of flowers and pretending to be Lin Yuan’s admirer. Lin Yuan played along, happily accepting his advances.

Quan Shengtang’s handsome appearance attracted the admiration of many women. At that moment, Gu Yu suddenly arrived and pushed Quan Shengtang aside. Both Lin Yuan and Quan Shengtang were surprised by Gu Yu’s reaction. Looking around at the surrounding women, Gu Yu recalled that Lin Yuan had mentioned her rival trying to make things difficult for her. Seizing the opportunity, he too pretended to be Lin Yuan’s admirer, acting jealous upon seeing her being affectionate with another man.

When the women present learned that Gu Yu was the founder of Qianniao Ji, they all looked at him with admiration. Tang Qi witnessed everything from outside and called Quan Shengtang out, wanting to ask him something. Initially, Quan Shengtang explained that he was merely acting with Lin Yuan and that Fang Jin was aware of everything. However, Tang Qi wasn’t questioning Quan Shengtang about betraying Fang Jin—he was confused as to why he could see colors on Quan Shengtang.

Wanting to find a connection between Quan Shengtang and Su Chengcheng, Tang Qi suggested calling Su Chengcheng over so they could all sit together and figure out what was going on. However, as soon as Tang Qi dialed the number, Quan Shengtang’s phone rang. It turned out that Quan Shengtang was actually Su Chengcheng in disguise. Knowing that it was Tang Qi calling, Su Chengcheng couldn’t answer and simply stared at the ringing phone.

In the end, she lied, saying it was Fang Jin calling, and quickly found an excuse to slip away. Lin Yuan questioned Gu Yu about why he had lied in front of everyone, claiming to be her admirer. Gu Yu took the opportunity to confess his feelings, but Lin Yuan reacted strongly—she didn’t want to be in a relationship and even insisted on maintaining a distance from Gu Yu, refusing to see him again.

Hearing this, Gu Yu quickly changed his stance, saying he only considered Lin Yuan a good friend. With that, the two resumed their conversation in a lighthearted manner. Tang Qi went to a bar, drinking while contemplating the connection between Quan Shengtang and Su Chengcheng, as well as why he could see colors on both of them. At the same time, Su Chengcheng was also puzzled, suspecting that Tang Qi had noticed something.

However, his behavior didn’t seem to indicate that he had, so she decided to ask Lin Yuan. But Lin Yuan was distracted, still preoccupied with what had happened earlier that day. Seeing Lin Yuan lost in thought, Su Chengcheng decided to call Tang Qi to probe for information. However, it was Gu Yu who answered the phone—Tang Qi had drunk too much. Hearing that Gu Yu had picked up, Lin Yuan immediately grabbed the phone and apologized to him.

She also asked if they could continue being good friends. The next day at work, Tang Qi saw Su Chengcheng again and suddenly realized that he could still see colors on her, proving that this phenomenon wasn’t random. Zhou Jinli learned that Tang Qi had lost his ability to distinguish colors and became very concerned, trying to think of ways to help him recover his vision.

The company proposed a new entrepreneurial project, but Su Chengcheng struggled to find a way to bridge the gap between people in their 40s and those in their 20s. Because of this, she worked later than her colleagues. As she walked alone on the street after work, Gu Yu suddenly pulled up in a car with Tang Qi, blocking her path.

Tang Qi invited Su Chengcheng to get in, but afraid of exposing herself in front of him, she refused and chose to take the subway home instead. Tang Qi, however, decided to take the subway with her. Su Chengcheng, suspecting that Tang Qi’s vision was impaired, tested him but found that his eyesight was normal and that he could still see colors.

Just then, a sudden jostle in the crowded subway caused Tang Qi and Su Chengcheng to be pressed closely together. At that moment, Tang Qi discovered that as long as he was in physical contact with Su Chengcheng, he could see the colors of the surrounding world again. Su Chengcheng led Tang Qi to a park bench, where they sat together. Unconsciously, Tang Qi gazed at Su Chengcheng, and in that moment, it was as if he saw Fang Jin in her.
