Fireworks of My Heart Recap

Episode 1 Recap

Song Yan, the captain of the Shili Tai Fire Station in Yanbei District, is handsome and brave, with both moral integrity and talent. He is a well-known tough guy in the fire station. No matter how urgent the disaster is, as long as he is there, the whole team has a spiritual pillar. On ordinary days when he is not on duty, he trains and eats and sleeps with comrades from all over the country. This time, during the early summer, they gathered together to make dumplings and talk about the traditions of their hometowns. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the alarm bell, and everyone quickly grabbed their clothes and ran downstairs to assemble.

Xu Qin is a doctor at a local hospital. She is skilled in surgeries and consultations and is known for her exceptional medical skills. Not only is she highly competent in her profession, but she is also particularly beautiful. On this day, after finishing a surgery, she sat down to eat and found that her fast food noodles had clumped together. Hours of intense work had taken away her appetite.

At this time, a group of firefighters came with their teammates for dental check-ups. Usually, they handle emergency cases at night. Xu Qin suggested that they go to the dental clinic the next day. Song Yan was wearing a mask at the time and felt a bit nervous when he saw Xu Qin for the first time. His comrades pleaded with Xu Qin to check on him first, but Song Yan was worried that if he took off his mask, Xu Qin would recognize him, so he shook his head and walked away.

Xu Qin returned to her seat and continued eating noodles, but she suddenly felt that the face behind the mask was very familiar. The more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong. She hurriedly chased after them, but the fire truck had already gone far away. Her comrades were puzzled as to why the doctor was chasing after them.

Life goes on every day, and Xu Qin continues to save lives while Song Yan continues to be on duty for rescue missions. One day, they met at the same location of a fire. As a doctor, Xu Qin rushed into the disaster site to rescue the injured, and Song Yan rushed into the fire to extinguish it.

Whenever a firefighter rescued a life from the fire, Xu Qin did her best to help the victims recover their vital signs. This time, the fire occurred in an old residential area, where ordinary gas cylinders were used in every household. The situation was extremely serious. Song Yan wore an oxygen mask and went door to door to rescue trapped residents. The captain called him several times on the walkie-talkie, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger. If an explosion occurred, with so many gas cylinders, even ten lives would not be enough. However, Song Yan discovered that there was a child crying for help in the neighboring room, and the cries were getting weaker. He didn't care about the danger and rushed into the fire to save the child. It was at this moment that an explosion occurred.

The window glass shattered everywhere, and the captain urgently called for Song Yan, but there was no response. He was anxious to rush in and save people. Xu Qin was beside him, doing her best to perform CPR on the injured. Seeing waves of firefighters rushing in, she felt extremely nervous. The lives of the trapped civilians were precious, and the firefighters were also living beings. Fortunately, Song Yan finally ran out carrying the trapped child, and Xu Qin quickly went over to check the child's condition.

The fire was finally extinguished, and the firefighters packed up the hoses and prepared to return to the station. At this moment, an officious person rushed in angrily and asked who had moved his car parked in the fire lane. Song Yan and the captain stepped forward and solemnly reminded him that parking a private car in the fire lane is illegal. It was because of his illegal parking that the fire, which should have been extinguished in half an hour, was prolonged by an hour. Thirty-six people were trapped, and the loss was not small. The officious person was stung by the criticism and stood aside grudgingly, while the rest could only put on an empty show.

Xu Qin recognized Song Yan. Ten years ago, they were high school classmates. He was the first classmate she met after transferring to that school. Song Yan was just as fearless back then as he is today. She remembers their first meeting when Song Yan was punished to stand outside the classroom. Seeing a new classmate coming into the classroom, Song Yan, who was standing outside the window, was curious and leaned his head in to listen to Xu Qin's self-introduction. He occasionally interjected and made the whole class burst into laughter. That was Song Yan's proudest moment. At his enthusiastic invitation, Xu Qin became his deskmate and remembered Song Yan's name.

Episode 2 Recap

Song Yan's good friend Suo Jun saw his comrades talking to Xu Qin during the day and immediately felt that something was off between the two. While playing chess, he asked if they knew each other, and Song Yan immediately denied it. However, the expression on his face gave away the truth. It turns out that Song Yan and Xu Qin were not only classmates but also had a sweet and unforgettable past together.

Song Yan and Xu Qin sat at the same desk. On ordinary days, Song Yan often shared snacks with her, studied together in class, and acted as a bodyguard behind her after school. At that time, Xu Qin was feeling down after transferring schools, but Song Yan's jokes and banter somehow improved her mood.

Song Yan was brave in extinguishing fires, which was a great achievement in Wufang Street. However, there were some ignorant individuals who repeatedly complained, accusing the firefighters of moving cars without permission and increasing the training load for newly recruited firefighters. Fortunately, Li Meng, due to her position, often spoke well of Song Yan in front of the higher authorities, explaining the ins and outs of the fire incident. This matter eventually came to an end.

Xu Qin's professional competence quickly gained recognition from the patients, and she was promptly promoted by the leadership. Some older employees in the same unit became dissatisfied, whispering behind Xu Qin's back, claiming that she only got in based on her background. They even mentioned that her family was well-off, with her father being Meng Huaijin, who had a chauffeured car at home.

Xu Qin no longer allowed the family driver to pick her up and immediately her brother bought her a car. Although her father had some fame, Xu Qin was also very diligent in her studies and never complained at work.

When Song Yan arrived at Wufang Street, where he used to visit often ten years ago, his English writing on the wall was still there. He excitedly used quick-drying spray paint to write, "As long as you smile, the whole city will be filled with sunshine." At that time, Xu Qin teased him for writing the English word wrong, mistaking "city" for "son." Anyway, the days spent with Song Yan were full of joy, the sky was blue, and the air was fragrant.

Unconsciously, Xu Qin found herself at Song Yan's house. She knocked on the door, and Song Yan's younger sister, Zhai Miao, saw her and became angry, immediately wanting to close the door. Xu Qin wanted to ask if Song Yan was home, but Zhai Miao rudely said that Song Yan usually only stayed at the fire station and rarely came home. She added that if it weren't for Xu Qin, Song Yan would have been married long ago. Xu Qin understood Zhai Miao's attitude. After all, she was the one at fault initially.

Song Yan's mother saw Xu Qin leaving and asked Zhai Miao if they were impolite to her. Zhai Miao didn't like Xu Qin's cold and distant attitude, as if she rejected everyone from a thousand miles away. She mentioned how good Song Yan was to her, but later Xu Qin went abroad without a word, and there was no news from her for several years. Zhai Miao thought Xu Qin's heart was too cold. Now that she's back in the country, maybe she hasn't met a guy as easygoing as her brother, and that's why she suddenly remembers to apologize. Zhai Miao felt protective of her brother whenever she thought about this.

On this day, Song Yan escorted his comrades to the hospital for burn treatment. Xu Qin prescribed some medicine for the previous patient, as their burns were not severe, so she only provided topical ointment. The patient's family disagreed and accused Xu Qin of treating patients differently and being too cautious with firefighters. The man even wanted to start a fight. Luckily, Song Yan was present and promptly restrained the man by holding his arm. Some people are bullies who fear the strong, and in the face of someone who defends the weak, the unreasonable family member immediately shut up.

After treating the firefighters, Xu Qin followed Song Yan outside to thank him for speaking up earlier and invited him to have coffee together. Song Yan directly refused, saying that there were too many people asking him for coffee and he needed to make an appointment. Back at the fire station, Song Yan took out the lighter Xu Qin had given him ten years ago from his pocket. Now he regrets it a little; he never forgot about her, but he just wouldn't admit it.

Episode 3 Recap

Xu Qin returned home and found that her wooden carving was missing. She immediately went downstairs to ask her mother. Her mother said she threw it away because she didn't like Xu Qin playing with the wooden carving all the time. Initially, her mother was also against Xu Qin studying medicine, thinking that it would require long hours and leave no time for family and children. Xu Qin had grown accustomed to her strict mother. She and her brother had always followed their mother's standards for studying and living, as if they had lost the courage to rebel.

Xiao Yixiao visited Xu Qin's house as a guest. He had a straightforward personality and invited Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen to his bar. While having dinner with Aunt, he started talking as usual. Meng Yanchen discreetly nudged his arm, asking him to stop talking and eat. Shortly after, Xu Qin's mother reminded him not to speak while eating. Xiao Yixiao scratched his head and quickly fell silent.

Xu Qin's mother noticed that her children didn't have partners yet, so she showed Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin some photos of the opposite sex. She reminded them of her standards for choosing a spouse, with social status being the most important. If the social status didn't match, she wouldn't agree at all. Meng Yanchen furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing his mother's criteria. Several photos were on the table, but he didn't like any of them. He had been suppressed for too long, and the girls in the photos looked lifeless, like they had come out of a photoshoot, lacking any vitality.

Feeling bored at home, Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen went to Xiao Yixiao's bar in the evening. Xiao Yixiao was usually rough and casual, but the bar was tastefully decorated, showing that he had his own pursuit and taste. The bar often hired some part-time staff, and this time one of the staff accidentally spilled alcohol on Meng Yanchen. She quickly apologized, but Meng Yanchen didn't care; he just felt that this server was different from the ones he had seen before.

After leaving the bar, Xu Qin couldn't help but go to the fire station to find Song Yan. She went to the communication room to deliver a message, and Song Yan intentionally claimed that he wasn't in the dormitory. Disappointed, Xu Qin was about to leave when she noticed the training ground across the street, where Song Yan was with a police dog.

Suo Jun noticed Song Yan's preoccupied state and asked why he had been absent-minded lately. He knew that Song Yan cared, but he always tried to be strong. Suo Jun asked if the pendant hanging from Song Yan's neck was a gift from Xu Qin, and he mentioned that Song Yan had been reluctant to take it off for several years. Song Yan felt sentimental. He knew that Xu Qin's family placed great importance on social status, and despite his efforts over the years to earn honor and be outstanding, he was still a lowly grass, seemingly distant from Xu Qin. Suo Jun understood his predicament, patted his shoulder to console him, and mentioned that reality can be cruel. If it truly felt out of reach, it might be better to let go and start a new life.

These days, heavy rain kept pouring down, and the hospital admitted many patients. Due to a lack of manpower, all medical staff were required to be on duty. Xu Qin received the message and reluctantly drove out despite the worsening road conditions. The water on the road became deeper and deeper, and when she reached an underpass, her car suddenly stalled. The water on the road continued to rise, and Xu Qin couldn't start the car. Even the door of the driver's seat wouldn't open. She felt extremely frightened and immediately dialed "119" (emergency services).

As the pouring rain continued to wash the ground, the water inside the car had reached Xu Qin's chest. She was struggling to breathe, and the car window wouldn't open. She had reached the peak of fear. At that moment, a fire truck arrived. In her desperation, Xu Qin finally saw a beam of light directed at her. A firefighter used bare hands to move her car, reducing the water level, and then broke the window and reached out to pull Xu Qin out.

Xu Qin saw that it was Song Yan who saved her and cried in excitement. However, Song Yan reproached her for going out in such heavy rain. Upon hearing Xu Qin explain that it was an emergency notification from the hospital, Song Yan handed her two life jackets and turned to leave. Xu Qin anxiously asked if he knew it was her trapped in the car and risked his life to save her, but Song Yan calmly replied that even if it were a dog trapped in the car, he would save it without hesitation.

Episode 4 Recap

Xu Qin rushed to the hospital and found a patient with severe pericardial effusion. The situation was critical, and it was crucial to remove the fluid as soon as possible. However, this operation was very difficult, and Xu Qin didn't have the qualification to perform this kind of surgery in her current position. The doctors on the side suggested that she should wait for the chief physician to arrive before proceeding with the surgery. But time waits for no one, and the chief physician was still saving lives in another operating room. Xu Qin decided to independently perform the pericardiocentesis.

She went against everyone's advice and was even willing to bear all the consequences herself. The assistant beside her carefully assisted in handing over the surgical instruments. Xu Qin had received systematic clinical practice abroad and finally managed to remove the pericardial effusion with her superb medical skills. The patient's young daughter was anxiously waiting outside. The father and daughter depended on each other in their daily lives, and it was unimaginable how the girl's life would be without a successful rescue.

Xu Qin sensitively noticed that the child seemed to have some signs of autism. After the surgery, she returned to her office and wrote down the discharge instructions for the patient. She also introduced a psychologist to the little girl. The girl's aunt was very grateful upon receiving the recommendations. Xu Qin successfully completed the pericardiocentesis surgery, but the hospital leadership called her to the office and criticized her for making decisions without authorization. Although Xu Qin had previously interned abroad and performed similar surgeries, it was still within the country, and the consequences would be unimaginable if the surgery failed.

Zhai Miao was worried that her brother would become an older unmarried man, so she invited several of her own friends to their house. When those girls saw Song Yan, they were satisfied with his handsome appearance and charismatic demeanor. When Song Yan returned home and saw the scene, he knew his sister's intentions. He advised her to find a boyfriend quickly and not to worry about him, asking a bunch of friends to come home and treat him like a monkey.

The group of girls had dinner together, and when Song Yan saw Ye Zi sitting beside him, her profile resembled Xu Qin's. She had a similar temperament to Xu Qin, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ye Zi.

Everyone bombarded Song Yan with questions, asking where he worked and why someone as excellent as him didn't have a girlfriend. Song Yan wasn't interested in these questions and left halfway through the meal. Zhai Miao thought her brother had feelings for Ye Zi, so she immediately tried to play matchmaker between Xu Qin and Ye Zi. Song Yan firmly rejected it. As he was preparing to leave, he encountered Xu Qin face to face. Xu Qin had come to return his clothes and expressed gratitude for saving her that rainy night. Song Yan leaned against the door frame and bluntly told her not to come again, as saving lives was his professional duty. Xu Qin's eyes turned red, and she made a request to reconcile. Although Song Yan felt a bit sour in his nose, he immediately claimed that he had long forgotten about her.

Song Yan returned to the fire station and started wiping his trophies one by one to calm his emotions. The instructor advised him to update the training methods because many new soldiers thought Song Yan's training standards were too harsh, and everyone had their own opinions. Song Yan disagreed and believed that as firefighters, they must keep up with speed and be able to save lives when it matters. Song Yan appeared cold on the surface, but his comrades knew that he had a warm heart.

At Xu Qin's hospital, personnel from various departments were assigned to conduct fire prevention drills. Many people didn't want to participate, so Xu Qin successfully took this opportunity. During the fire prevention briefing, Li Meng, a female student, was in charge. Xu Qin noticed a photo of Song Yan in the presentation slides. She heard people around her jokingly ask if the person in the photo, Song Yan, was Li Meng's boyfriend. Xu Qin noticed Li Meng blushing and realized that Li Meng probably had feelings for Song Yan. She took the opportunity to chat with Li Meng and found out that both of them worked in the fire department, with one responsible for on-site rescue and the other for fire prevention education. They were quite compatible.

It was almost time to finish work when Xu Qin received an emergency notification. There was a car accident on a nearby road, and several people were injured and in critical condition. Xu Qin and Song Yan arrived at the scene together. Several vehicles had overturned, and the drivers and passengers were trapped inside. Xu Qin quickly opened the medical kit and did her best to rescue each injured person.

Every time they arrived at the scene of an accident, it was heartbreaking. There were bloodstains everywhere, groans, the sound of machines cutting through metal, piercing through the air. Those with weaker mental fortitude were already frightened. Xu Qin calmly performed CPR on the injured while Song Yan directed his team members to evacuate and rescue in an orderly manner. The two of them cooperated seamlessly.

During the process of rescuing Xu Qin, Song Yan injured his back, and a piece of metal from the machine pierced his muscles, causing a bloody mess. All the injured were settled in the ambulances, and Xu Qin immediately insisted that Song Yan go to the hospital with her for treatment. Song Yan refused, but the instructor ordered him in a commanding tone to seek medical attention immediately. Song Yan had no choice but to follow Xu Qin back to the hospital.

Episode 5 Recap

In the treatment room, Song Yan's wound had been stitched up. Xu Qin once again brought up the idea of getting back together. Song Yan asked her if it was a sudden whim or if she had carefully considered it. They had a good relationship in the past, but Xu Qin said they broke up and then went abroad without a trace.

Xu Qin explained that they were still in school at that time and didn't have the right to decide their own future. Song Yan didn't want to continue being Xu Qin's plaything. Ten years ago, she said she could let go, but ten years later, the same tragedy might repeat itself. Song Yan walked out of the hospital room in pain. Li Meng had just brought him a pair of dry shoes. She had already guessed that Xu Qin was Song Yan's ex-girlfriend and took the initiative to ask Song Yan if he would consider her if things didn't work out with that doctor. Song Yan shook his head. He wouldn't easily start a relationship with no future.

The test results for the accident victims from the afternoon were out. One of the persons had HIV, and medical personnel who had operated on the injured were at risk of infection. Nurses held their breath as they received the test results. Xu Qin immediately called the fire station, notifying all firefighters who had been in contact with the accident scene to come to the hospital for blood tests.

Song Yan had the most severe wound initially and had the closest contact with the HIV-positive patient's blood. Xu Qin remembered that Song Yan had direct contact with the blood of an HIV patient. She was extremely worried. The hospital had a shortage of emergency medications, but Song Yan divided the few remaining doses among his comrades. Xu Qin knew he would do that and immediately drove to another hospital to retrieve the medication. She supervised Song Yan personally as he separated the medication before feeling reassured. She didn't want Song Yan to bear the burden. Xu Qin claimed that she understood and would respect Song Yan's choice.

The blood test results for the firefighters were all negative, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, the side effects of the medication had not subsided. Everyone was vomiting and weak. Song Yan unintentionally saw the transfer application of the instructor, Suo Jun. They had become accustomed to working together, and Song Yan couldn't understand Suo Jun's choice. They had worked at Shili Tai Fire Station for a long time and considered it their home. Suo Jun admitted that he could earn over a thousand more in salary by going to another fire station. It was still rescue work, just in a different location.

Xu Qin's hospital received a critically ill patient with a myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. The patient's consciousness was blurred, and they remained in a severe coma. Xu Qin immediately prepared her team for resuscitation. Although Xu Qin rarely smiled or joked, her professional skills were extremely superb. With Xu Qin's skilled hands, the patient was finally brought back from the brink of death.

The fire station was also busy. When they were not on duty, they conducted various intensive training exercises at the station, such as carrying water guns, climbing, and maneuvering through complex obstacles. The new team members lacked proficiency, and they couldn't even handle the water guns steadily. Song Yan was very angry when he saw this and criticized them for not training earnestly. He questioned how they would enter a fire scene and save lives if they continued with such standards. It was the first time the team members saw Song Yan so angry, and Suo Jun knew that Song Yan was influenced by him. He couldn't bear to see Song Yan leave.

Xu Qin's performance at the hospital quickly gained recognition from the patients' families. After every successful surgery, Xu Qin would just smile and nod at the patients before getting busy again. Despite her young age, she was very steady in her work. The hospital director had never praised her achievements, and Xu Qin had gotten used to it. Neither praise nor criticism was the best state for her.

Episode 6 Recap

Colleagues always see Xu Qin as calm and composed. They were curious about how she dealt with the doctor-patient relationship. They asked her how she remained indifferent in the face of grateful patients' families. Xu Qin thought it was normal. The families were only temporarily grateful and spoke words of appreciation. In reality, treating and saving patients was their professional duty, and whether the patients' families were grateful or not didn't directly concern them. Xu Qin's answer left her colleagues speechless. They didn't expect someone to have such a mindset.

Xiao Yixiao would often hang out with Meng Yanchen during his leisure time. He sympathized with Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin for having such a strict mother. He often encouraged them to go out and relax. One day, Meng Yanchen approached Xiao Yixiao for investment. As they chatted, Xiao Yixiao remarked that Xu Qin had grown up and rarely whispered secrets to him anymore. He asked Meng Yanchen to take her out more often to relax.

In the evening, Meng Yanchen took Xu Qin to Xiao Yixiao's bar for drinks. Xiao Yixiao also introduced his ex-girlfriend, Jiang Xiaorao, to them. Jiang Xiaorao's personality matched her name—she was straightforward in her speech. She quickly got along with everyone. Xu Qin felt a bit upset because of Song Yan's rejection, so she started drinking with Jiang Xiaorao. That night, Xu Qin drank a lot. Meng Yanchen drove her home, carried her into the bedroom, and took off her shoes, allowing her to have a good night's sleep.

Meng Yanchen lay on the sofa, and scenes of the first time he met Xu Qin involuntarily flashed through his mind. At that time, Xu Qin's parents were no longer around, and Meng Yanchen's parents went to the welfare institution to go through the adoption procedures. Since then, he had this little sister. He genuinely liked her. When he saw his mother throwing away the teddy bear that Xu Qin had dirtied, he secretly picked it up and gave it back to Xu Qin. In the blink of an eye, these two people had grown up, and in Meng Yanchen's eyes, he had never met a girl as outstanding as his sister.

A few days later, Xu Qin heard a knocking sound at her door. Firefighters said that her neighbor's child had climbed out from the balcony and got stuck between two floors' pipes. It was an urgent situation. Several firefighters crawled over from Xu Qin's balcony and caught the child. Initially, everything went smoothly, but suddenly an emergency occurred when they were pulling the child into the room. The firefighters slipped and both the child and the firefighters were left hanging outside. Xu Qin anxiously watched, her heart pounding, as she stared intently at the firefighters. She silently prayed for their safety.

Finally, the trapped little boy was successfully rescued, and tears of excitement flowed down the faces of his parents. They immediately promised not to leave the child alone at home anymore. Xu Qin attended to Song Yan's wound and asked if he was free on the weekend. Song Yan looked at her, his eyes filled with doubt, but ultimately he didn't say anything and left.

During the day, Xu Qin managed to obtain Song Yan's WeChat account from one of Song Yan's comrades. Fortunately, Song Yan accepted the friend request, and they started communicating on WeChat. Xu Qin was in a great mood, and every day felt like a refreshing breeze.

Although Meng Yanchen had a big family and a big business, he was mature beyond his years. He made decisions calmly in the company. This time, he rejected the other shareholders' hasty plans. Although the real estate industry was currently progressing smoothly, he sensed some crisis and decided to interrupt the massive capital investment. Initially, this was his decision within the company, but soon he received a call from his mother. She asked about Meng Yanchen's recent situation and subtly inquired if he needed to consider the feelings of the other shareholders. Meng Yanchen had already guessed that someone in the company was leaking information. He never turned a blind eye and quickly identified the person spying for his mother in the company. When the informant heard that they were being transferred to Meng Yanchen's mother's company, they were terrified and quickly apologized.

During her break, Xu Qin proactively went to the fire station to find Song Yan. A team member informed Song Yan that someone was looking for him. Song Yan thought it was his sister coming to bring him a padded jacket, so he handed over his work and left. After Song Yan left, the team members quietly mentioned that the female doctor had come, and they excitedly followed along to investigate the situation.

Episode 7 Recap

Xu Qin personally went to the fire station to invite Song Yan for a meal, but Song Yan refused and didn't want to go. Xu Qin then suggested that Song Yan treat her to tea instead. Song Yan asked for a reason, and Xu Qin had a sudden inspiration, claiming that she provided the location for the firefighters to save people the day before, so it was only fair to reward her. Unable to resist Xu Qin's multiple requests for a date, Song Yan finally agreed to have a meal with her.

To prepare for the date, Xu Qin specifically asked her best friend to do her makeup. Seeing Xu Qin's spotless home, her friend was puzzled as to why an adult like Xu Qin didn't know how to apply makeup and advised her to learn more in her daily life. Xu Qin explained that the hospital didn't encourage the use of cosmetics due to their work.

As Song Yan was getting ready to leave, he noticed that his hair had grown long. His comrades urged him to cut it, as it would make him look more energetic. Normally, Suo Jun would cut Song Yan's hair, and their eyes met. Suo Jun smiled at him and picked up the clippers to help Song Yan with his haircut.

When they arrived at the agreed location, Song Yan saw Xu Qin and felt that the girl in his heart was still so beautiful. Xu Qin took Song Yan to the place where they had dinner together ten years ago. They ordered the same dishes, and Xu Qin was pleasantly surprised to find that the taste was just like it was ten years ago. Same shop, same people. Song Yan intentionally claimed that the taste had changed because, after all, time had passed, and it was normal for things to change with the passage of time. Song Yan maintained a serious expression throughout, intentionally disagreeing with Xu Qin's opinions. Xu Qin didn't mind and continued to eat earnestly.

Song Yan received a call from his sister and learned that she was at the Fuming Police Station, so he immediately rushed to save her. Upon hearing this, Xu Qin quickly opened her car and offered to drive her there. Song Yan's sister had been taken to the police station by the authorities for selling counterfeit goods. Song Yan tried to get his sister to reveal the supplier, but she refused to listen. Song Yan became angry and wanted to contact the school authorities, but Xu Qin immediately dissuaded him. She warned Zhai Miao, who was with them, that they were already at the police station and should not harbor any lucky thoughts. They must cooperate with the police investigation. Furthermore, Song Yan was an upright person who would never falsify or cover up the truth. The urgent matter at hand was to quickly find evidence of their innocence by locating the supplier. This time, Zhai Miao listened to Xu Qin's advice and provided the contact number of the supplier.

Based on previous cases, Zhai Miao would be fined and administratively detained. Since she had been selling so many products, the fine after tripling would be even higher. Xu Qin only had one hundred thousand, but she wanted Zhai Miao to be released from the police station as soon as possible. So Xu Qin dialed Xiao Yixiao's phone number. At that time, Meng Yanchen was also with Xiao Yixiao and heard that Xu Qin was at the police station. Both of them went to help.

Meng Yanchen knew Song Yan and saw Xu Qin and Song Yan together at the police station. He was infuriated but, out of respect for Xu Qin, he still helped to smooth things over. That day, they quickly paid the fine and got Zhai Miao released from the police station. Song Yan didn't express his gratitude to Meng Yanchen. Instead, he quietly told Xu Qin that he would repay the money as soon as possible and then left with Zhai Miao.

Xu Qin sat in Xiao Yixiao's car on the way back. During the journey, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin started arguing, with both of them accusing each other of being immature. Meng Yanchen reminded Xu Qin not to develop genuine feelings for Song Yan, as his mother would never accept him due to his family background. As they argued, Xiao Yixiao drove the car to Meng Yanchen's company, asked him to get out of the car, and then had a private conversation with Xu Qin.

Xiao Yixiao also believed that Xu Qin and Song Yan were not suitable for each other. Their family backgrounds were too disparate, and the obstacles were too great. Moreover, Song Yan was a proud person. Xiao Yixiao knew that Xu Qin's family would not accept him, and today, Meng Yanchen had publicly humiliated him. There would be many more conflicts in the future, which would be unfair to Song Yan. Xu Qin understood that Xiao Yixiao meant well, but every time she was with Song Yan, she truly felt happy.

Episode 8 Recap

One day, the firefighters received an alarm call. A girl, frustrated with work, became angry after her mother scolded her and even thought about jumping off a building. Suo Jun immediately rushed over and kindly persuaded the girl to be strong. He assured her that things were not as unbearable as she imagined. The girl had a change of heart, but suddenly, onlookers started making callous remarks, saying that raising such a child was a waste and that she was just putting on a show. Hearing these heartless words, the girl felt utterly hopeless and jumped from the ledge. Luckily, Suo Jun quickly caught her. He was wearing a safety rope, and with his protection, the girl landed safely.

Suo Jun got up from the air cushion and angrily berated the heartless spectators. He questioned why they lacked compassion when facing such a vulnerable child. If one day it was their own family member who had a misfortune, would they still utter such heartless words? Society could be so cold and cruel. Suo Jun strongly resented the bystanders' mentality of wanting to see chaos in the world. So many people tragically ended their lives due to the violence of public opinion.

In the evening, Song Yan and Suo Jun were chatting. Suo Jun talked about his current life. His fiancée had been taking care of his sick parents, but their household expenses exceeded their income. He didn't know when they would be able to get married. Therefore, he had to bow to reality and hope to earn more money to support the family. Additionally, he wanted to transfer to a fire station closer to home, which would also help his fiancée share some of the household chores. Suddenly, Song Yan understood Suo Jun's difficulties and supported his choices. After contemplating for a long time, Suo Jun made a phone call to his fiancée. He requested another year's time from her, and when that year was up, he would return to his hometown.

On this day, the fire station invited Jiang Yu to provide training on firefighting techniques. Jiang Yu was a master's degree holder from the National Fire University and had advanced rescue methods. This time, he brought along a rescue robot and enthusiastically talked about the intelligence and convenience of robots. However, Song Yan disagreed with Jiang Yu's point of view. In a critical situation in a fire, the robot merely followed commands. Therefore, in dangerous situations, robots could not replace firefighters in rescue operations. Song Yan was known as the "debate king" among the firefighters, but Jiang Yu found him very interesting and took the initiative to add him on WeChat.

After listening to the training, Song Yan heard the news of Suo Jun's accident on his way back to the fire station. He hurried back as fast as he could. Outside the hospital room, his comrades held him back, saying that Suo Jun's arm was likely to be paralyzed. Song Yan entered the hospital room and saw that Suo Jun's right cheek had been severely burned. He was overcome with sadness and tears welled up in his eyes. Not long ago, he had prevented Suo Jun from being transferred from the fire station. If he had supported Suo Jun's decision back then, perhaps this situation would not have happened today. Suo Jun was still unmarried, so what would happen in the future? Song Yan tried hard to control his emotions, while Suo Jun remained relatively calm. He asked if the girl he had rescued from the fire was safe. Hearing the news brought by Song Yan, he finally felt relieved.

Now, Song Yan deeply regretted his decision to participate in the training. If he had been there, perhaps Suo Jun wouldn't have encountered such danger.

As things had progressed, Suo Jun was transferred to work at the local housing and construction department. On the day of his discharge from the army, all the firefighters from the fire station bid him farewell. The leader personally presented him with a military medal. As he looked at the bright five-starred red flag, this man shed tears of excitement.

Episode 9 Recap

Since becoming a firefighter, everyone has shouldered the mission of serving the people. Every day, they risk their lives during rescue missions. But once they put on that uniform, no one regrets it. As Suo Jun bid farewell to his comrades, a sudden alarm bell rang, indicating another emergency. The firefighters hurriedly changed into their firefighting gear and quickly responded.

Suo Jun waved goodbye to them, reminding them to stay safe during the rescue operation. Before leaving, he took a final look at the dormitory and helped his comrades tidy up their beds. Finally, he finished packing and left with his luggage. At the entrance, he met his fiancée, who had been sent by the minister to pick him up. With teary eyes, she smiled and took Suo Jun's luggage, ready to take him home.

With Suo Jun transferred, Song Yan felt very uncomfortable for a while. The leaders noticed this too. Suo Jun had spent eight years with Song Yan, so their camaraderie was understandable. The leaders encouraged Song Yan to relax and understand that no feast lasts forever. This was a steadfast military camp, and he needed to keep up with future training.

Xu Qin's mother gave her several photos of young men and insisted that Xu Qin choose one among them. Knowing her mother's personality, Xu Qin selected Jiang Yu. Xu Qin's mother also liked this young man and said she would recommend him through WeChat.

The girl whom Suo Jun had risked his life to save was named Xiaomin. Thirteen percent of her body had been burned, including her face, which was almost disfigured. She was once a blooming young girl, but unfortunately, her face was injured. The girl found it difficult to accept and contemplated suicide every day. Doctor Yang tried to console her, saying that the medical team would do their best to alleviate her pain. However, the girl couldn't see beyond her despair. She used to be a female anchor, but now, with her disfigurement, she believed she had no future career prospects, leading to utter hopelessness.

Xu Qin entered the hospital room and told Xiaomin that she couldn't justify her self-destruction considering the firefighter who had sacrificed and disfigured himself for her. Xiaomin asked about Suo Jun's condition. She knew it wasn't right to feel this way, but she couldn't help the pain in her heart. She didn't know how to face her own life anymore. Xu Qin could understand the girl's feelings, so she encouraged her to be strong and get through this period. Looking back later, she would realize that these things were not as significant. With Xu Qin's empathy, Xiaomin's emotions gradually calmed down.

Xu Qin's mother discovered a 100,000 yuan fine in her son's bank statement. She called Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen to come home. Meng Yanchen lied, claiming that he helped a friend pay the fine. Xu Qin's mother could tell from his expression and asked Xu Qin to invite Jiang Yu out in front of her. Xu Qin followed her mother's instructions.

After Xu Qin went upstairs, her mother reproached Meng Yanchen for not telling her about arranging a match for her sister. It turned out her mother already knew, so she purposely had Xu Qin start contacting Jiang Yu. Their family backgrounds were similar, and her mother encouraged Xu Qin to take more initiative.

Jiang Yu had previously failed to successfully arrange a meeting with Xu Qin. Xu Qin always used work as an excuse. But this time, when she received Xu Qin's invitation, he was extremely happy. He had been waiting in the café early in the morning. Finally, he met Xu Qin, and Jiang Yu felt a strong attraction. However, before they could exchange many words, Xu Qin's phone buzzed with a message. It was a reminder of Song Yan's transfer. Xu Qin made an excuse that there was an emergency at work and bid farewell, leaving the café.

Xu Qin went to see Song Yan and told him not to worry about repaying the money. They had a lukewarm conversation. Xu Qin understood his concerns. When she returned home, her mother asked her about the progress of her conversation with Jiang Yu. Xu Qin said they met, but at the time, there was a sudden hospital emergency. Hearing this, her mother felt that the hospital work was not suitable for Xu Qin. She wanted her to pursue academic work at a university. Xu Qin didn't agree, so she tried to communicate with her mother. She asked if she could be in a relationship with Song Yan, as he was her favorite person. For a long time, her mother didn't say anything. Just as Xu Qin was about to go back to her own room, her mother called her back and asked her not to make her the villain again. Xu Qin immediately understood her mother's meaning.

Episode 10 Recap

Xu Qin's romantic relationship did not receive her mother's support. This time, instead of giving up, she went to talk to her father. When her father heard that Xu Qin wanted to continue dating Song Yan, although he didn't oppose it, he believed her mother would never agree. He understood the reasons behind her mother's opposition and didn't want their family to be in discord because of this matter. In short, neither her father nor her mother thought highly of her being with Song Yan. Xu Qin recalled her strict upbringing by her mother since childhood, where she had to adhere to strict rules even during meals and sitting posture. From a young age, she never dared to defy her mother, especially when it came to matters of marriage. Thinking about her mother's sharp gaze, Xu Qin felt a chill down her spine.

She had asked Song Yan out several times before, but he hadn't agreed. Surprisingly, this time, Song Yan readily accepted. He took a two-hour leave to have a meal with Xu Qin. Xu Qin noticed that he changed into casual attire and groomed himself, looking handsome and charming. Remembering her conversation with her parents, Xu Qin was hesitant to speak. Song Yan noticed her evasive gaze and immediately understood. He assured Xu Qin not to worry, saying that he could understand and accept her decision, no matter what it was.

The two of them silently ate their meal when suddenly a fire broke out in the kitchen of the restaurant they were in. Song Yan immediately sprinted into the kitchen and saw a chef engulfed in flames. He quickly grabbed a bottle of cola, opened it, and extinguished the fire on the chef's body. After rescuing the chef, he heard a scream from another girl. Song Yan ran into the fire again to save her. Then he opened the fire hydrant, and Xu Qin helped him twist the valve. Due to their swift action, they managed to save the restaurant from significant damage.

Coincidentally, the girl Song Yan saved this time was named Zhan Xiaorao. They had just met Xu Qin recently. Impressed by Song Yan saving her life, Zhan Xiaorao immediately pleaded with Xu Qin to give her Song Yan's WeChat contact. Xu Qin claimed that Song Yan was just an ordinary friend, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart when she heard that Zhan Xiaorao wanted to pursue Song Yan.

Xu Qin went to a bar called "Xiao Yixiao" to drink and learned that Song Yan had agreed to Zhan Xiaorao's invitation. She drowned her sorrows in alcohol at the bar. After a few drinks, Xu Qin felt that she had the courage and stumbled out. Meng Yanchen saw Xu Qin's condition and immediately told Xiao Yixiao to hurry and follow her in the car. He knew that his sister wasn't sad but was using alcohol as a confidence booster.

Indeed, Meng Yanchen's guess was correct. Xu Qin went straight to Song Yan's house. Taking advantage of her drunken state, she questioned whether Song Yan had made any efforts for their relationship over the years. She mentioned that she had worked hard studying abroad, aware of her introverted personality. She even chose a medical profession, hoping to support herself with her exceptional skills and not be dependent on others in the future. But Song Yan, Xu Qin asked if he remembered their promise and if he had made efforts to get closer to her. Xu Qin cried and caused a scene, pulling at Song Yan's collar and asking if he had never liked her enough. Zhai Miao, who was nearby and saw the two of them, also felt uncomfortable.

Xiao Yixiao saw Xu Qin squatting on the ground, pulling at Song Yan's clothes and crying uncontrollably. It was evident that she had lost control. Xiao Yixiao immediately carried Xu Qin on his back and started walking, intending to take her away. Song Yan saw Xu Qin's heartbreak, realizing that over the years, it hadn't been just him making efforts; Xu Qin had never forgotten him either. Song Yan rushed out of the yard, intending to confess his feelings, but Xiao Yixiao had already put the intoxicated Xu Qin in the car. Meng Yanchen stood by the car door, looking at him coldly, his eyes filled with accusations. Helplessly, Song Yan could only watch as Xu Qin sat in the car and was driven away.

Episode 11 Recap

Song Yan saw the hostile look in Meng Yanchen's eyes. He remembered that Meng Yanchen had the same expression when he found out that Xu Qin was dating him back in high school. Based on a boy's intuition, Song Yan could tell that Meng Yanchen also cared about Xu Qin. Although they were siblings, they were not related by blood.

Xiao Yixiao drove Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen home. Meng Yanchen asked Xiao Yixiao to drop them off, and Xiao Yixiao was somewhat surprised. He thought Xu Qin was just drunk and acting out, and it wouldn't be good for her parents to see her in this state. Meng Yanchen checked the time and realized that their parents were already asleep. He didn't want Xu Qin to be hurt again and believed that being at home would be safer.

Once they were settled, Meng Yanchen looked at Xu Qin sleeping soundly on the bed. He couldn't help but recall their childhood when Xu Qin was always timid and would secretly come to his room to sleep together. Meng Yanchen had liked this sister since they were young and continued to do so as they grew up. He remembered in high school when Song Yan constantly pursued Xu Qin, and Meng Yanchen would often clean off the graffiti on Xu Qin's window left by Song Yan. He couldn't understand why Xu Qin was so heartbroken when she was forced to break up back then. Now, even after studying abroad and returning, she was still entangled with Song Yan.

The next day, after Song Yan woke up and prepared to leave, his sister asked if he was going to see Xu Qin. She also advised him that Xu Qin's outburst the previous night might have been due to the alcohol and that she could change her mind when she woke up. Song Yan still decided to visit Xu Qin. He had seen how distressed she was yesterday, and if he didn't go to see her today, there might not be another chance in the future.

As Song Yan was about to leave, his aunt returned home. His uncle told Song Yan that he could go and see Xu Qin but as a man, he shouldn't fall into the same trap twice. He reminded Song Yan to hold onto the last bit of his dignity. Song Yan nodded and left.

Xu Qin brought Song Yan to her place. When she heard that Xu Qin wanted porridge, Song Yan personally cooked it for her. While cooking, Song Yan asked Xu Qin if what she said last night was true. Xu Qin responded that she remembered some things but not everything clearly. Song Yan further reminded her that she cried and asked why he couldn't get closer to her. If Xu Qin's feelings for him were genuine, Song Yan would consider getting closer to her. Once they were close, he wouldn't easily leave. However, Xu Qin needed to think it through. If she wasn't sure, she shouldn't recklessly intrude into his life again. Song Yan assured Xu Qin that if she was willing, he would do his best to treat her well, but he didn't know if his efforts would satisfy her family.

Xu Qin looked into Song Yan's eyes and saw his sincerity. Now that Song Yan was willing to take this step, the key question was whether Xu Qin was determined enough. As long as Xu Qin made a decision, he would proceed without hesitation and take on the responsibility. Xu Qin struggled to make a choice, and Song Yan sensed her hesitation. After the porridge was cooked, he silently left.

After finishing their meal, Xu Qin prepared to go home and ran into Meng Yanchen downstairs. Meng Yanchen personally drove her to work. Xu Qin knew that Meng Yanchen was very concerned about her and couldn't help but say that she was being too greedy. She wanted her parents not to worry about her, but she also didn't want to leave this home. She wanted to be with Song Yan. It was not that she didn't deserve Song Yan, but rather, Song Yan deserved someone better. Meng Yanchen had already noticed that her sister's mood was low. He asked Xu Qin if she wanted to go abroad with him and never come back again, but Xu Qin didn't agree.

Xu Qin wanted to participate in the assistant physician interview, but her mother secretly made arrangements with the hospital director, fearing that Xu Qin would have to work too hard. Xu Qin was unaware of her mother's actions and was surprised when Director Zhang didn't approve her interview application. The next day, she submitted the application again. Director Zhang was displeased with Xu Qin's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, thinking that she liked to use connections and take shortcuts. However, when Director Zhang saw Xu Qin persistently submitting the interview application, he asked her why she wanted to study medicine in the first place. Xu Qin bit her lip and sincerely replied that she believed becoming a doctor would provide job security. This answer surprised Director Zhang, and in the end, Xu Qin succeeded in the interview. Now she would be in the same group as the equally arrogant Yang Sijia.

After Suo Jun left, a new commanding officer was quickly appointed from above. The comrades at the fire station whispered to each other. The new leader who was supposed to report in the afternoon arrived earlier in the morning, and it was Jiang Yu! Jiang Yu was the one who had taught Song Yan advanced firefighting and rescue techniques during a training session. When Song Yan recalled the accident Suo Jun had during the firefighting training, he still held a grudge. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yu's arrival.

Episode 12 Recap

Meng Yanchen drank alcohol and then looked for a designated driver on the platform. Unexpectedly, the girl who came this time was the part-time worker from the Xiaoyixiao Bar. He remembered the first time he met her when she accidentally spilled the drink on his clothes, so Meng Yanchen was deeply impressed by this girl. Upon reaching their destination, Meng Yanchen learned that the girl had just entered her fourth year of university and took on multiple part-time jobs to pay off her student loans. He asked for her payment code and gave her 100 yuan, instructing her to take a taxi back.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Song Yan noticed that Suo Jun had moved his chessboard. He was not in a good mood and immediately moved the chessboard back to its original place. Jiang Yu had been trying to find a topic to talk about and asked if he liked playing Chinese checkers. She even mentioned that she also enjoyed playing Chinese checkers and suggested that they could play together when they had free time. However, Song Yan didn't respond. The next day, Jiang Yu found that Song Yan had directly pinned the Chinese checkers board to the wall, clearly indicating that he was reminiscing about the person who had given him the chessboard.

When Jiang Yu arrived at the fire station, she noticed that even during rest time, the firefighters were still engaging in physical training, lifting barbells and running on treadmills, sweating profusely. Jiang Yu felt that this kind of training was not scientific, so she went to discuss it with Song Yan, suggesting a balanced approach and not such intense training. Song Yan didn't agree, stating that during rescue operations, every second counts, and the firefighters' duty is to extinguish fires and save lives as quickly as possible. Intensifying training during normal times enables them to save lives during critical moments. Song Yan's words left Jiang Yu speechless, so she shook her head and tried to find scientific data to support her viewpoint.

Zhan Xiaorao ordered a lot of cold drinks and barbecue to please Song Yan and provide extra meals for the firefighters. Everyone was very happy and enjoying their food when Song Yan recognized the delivery person. He immediately changed his expression and reminded everyone that they should not accept preferential treatment from the public according to the rules. Everyone felt embarrassed, not knowing whether to hold onto their snacks or put them away. Jiang Yu quickly eased the atmosphere by mentioning that the rules also prohibited wasting food and that they should be more mindful next time.

Song Yan called Zhan Xiaorao and explained once again that he already had someone he liked, and that person was someone she knew as well – Xu Qin, Song Yan's first girlfriend. Hearing this, Zhan Xiaorao felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, finally understanding the situation and giving up.

At night, the firefighters in the dormitory couldn't help but talk. It seemed that something was not right between Song Yan and the captain, but it was actually because Song Yan had a good relationship with Suo Jun. As it was time for lights out, Captain Yang Chi instructed everyone to stop discussing and rest. While doing bed checks, Song Yan heard his comrades' conversations outside the dormitory.

After a few days, the fire brigade proceeded with their outdoor training as usual, running 20 kilometers with a 20-kilogram load. Jiang Yu wanted to integrate into the group and voluntarily joined the training. Some kind-hearted comrades warned him that today's training task was not easy, but Jiang Yu believed he could handle it. He tried to blend in but soon realized that he was different from them. Suddenly, it started raining heavily that day, and he had to run a long distance while carrying heavy equipment.

The training was supposed to finish by 4 pm, but it was already dark, and there was no sign of Jiang Yu. Worried that something might have happened, Song Yan asked his comrades to drive and find him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu returned, stumbling and clearly exhausted. His legs had started to give out during the run. Finally, Jiang Yu managed to run back and sat down on the ground, asking his comrades if he wasn't cut out for this and why he seemed so different from everyone else. Before coming to the fire station, Jiang Yu had felt confident about himself, but now he realized it was just empty talk. He had heard that he took over the position of guide from Suo Jun, a highly accomplished firefighter. It was no wonder that Song Yan looked down on him since there was a substantial gap between him and Suo Jun.

Limping back to the dormitory, Jiang Yu saw some muscle-relaxing aerosol on the bedside table. It was clear that Song Yan had prepared it for him. Even though Song Yan didn't say anything, Jiang Yu still said, "Thank you."

As the two of them gradually became familiar with each other, Song Yan learned that Jiang Yu came from a well-off family. He couldn't understand why someone from such a background would choose to work in such a dangerous profession at the fire station. Jiang Yu was surprised by this question and considered it normal because he enjoyed this career. Moreover, his mother expressed her support, and although his father wasn't entirely approving, he always taught Song Yan to be an upright person. Song Yan nodded, feeling envious of Jiang Yu's ability to control his own life. He was born fortunate.

Episode 13 Recap

Song Yan heard Jiang Yu mention how his father had taught him to be an upright person. He smiled bitterly and said that his own father had also educated him in the same way. That night, lying in bed, Song Yan recalled what had happened in 1999. His father, upon seeing a colleague being laid off, couldn't help but advise him to be more optimistic. However, when he returned home, he found his wife heavily made up and ready to go out again. Song's father knew that she must be going to the dance hall again and begged her not to go to such a shady place. Instead of listening to him, his wife blamed Song Yan's father for lacking ambition. She pointed out that other husbands at his level were thriving, but he was becoming more and more pathetic. Song Yan was left speechless by his wife's words and could only obediently stay at home with their son, eating fruit.

After a few days, due to work-related issues, Song Yan's father was also framed by a deceitful person and ended up being laid off. Without any hesitation, Song Yan's mother packed up her things and left in another man's luxury car. From then on, Song Yan's father spiraled into a state of despair, drowning himself in alcohol. One winter night, he passed out drunk leaning against their front door. A young Song Yan woke up in the middle of the night, groping his way to the door to find his father. He discovered his father with his head drooping, clutching a bottle of alcohol, motionless. Covered in snowflakes, Song Yan called for help from the neighbors to carry his father inside, only to realize that his father had frozen to death. Afterward, he moved in with his aunt. Over the years, his aunt treated him well, but whenever he saw other families happily together, Song Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Song Yan and his fellow firefighters worked together to remove a wasp nest. Unfortunately, they accidentally got stung by the wasps. His comrades took Song Yan to the hospital, where Xu Qin happened to be the doctor treating him. The area that got stung was his buttocks, which made Song Yan feel embarrassed. However, Xu Qin, being a doctor, professionally and gently removed his clothes.

Meng Yanchen brought a box of milk to the hospital to visit Xu Qin. On the way, he bumped into Song Yan and several other firefighters. Meng Yanchen couldn't help but stop Song Yan and remind him to be mindful of his identity. He also mentioned that there was an insurmountable wall between Xu Qin and Song Yan. Song Yan sarcastically ridiculed Meng Yanchen for underestimating his abilities. He claimed that his specialty was tearing down walls, so any obstacles or misunderstandings between him and Xu Qin were insignificant. This time, Song Yan looked Meng Yanchen in the eye and advised him to introspect and stop being so quick to judge others, as he had never properly looked at his own inner self. Since he was Xu Qin's older brother, he should exercise some restraint and not exert excessive control over Xu Qin.

On Meng Yanchen's birthday, Xu Qin went home early to celebrate with their parents. They blew out the candles together, and their mother couldn't help but say that she had raised Meng Yanchen since he was young and he was always well-behaved, never making her angry. Hearing their mother's words, Meng Yanchen felt a sense of discomfort. Growing up in a family with strong control, he had learned to be attentive to others' words and emotions, submitting to whatever came his way.

Knowing that her older brother had a special liking for butterflies, Xu Qin gave him a gift—a vividly colorful butterfly unique to the Panama tropical rainforest. Meng Yanchen saw the lifelike butterfly in the box and told his sister that to obtain the most vibrant colors for such specimens, they would start removing the internal organs from the butterfly while it was still alive, until the moment it had the strongest will to survive, forever preserving it.

Reflecting on the cruelty of specimen preparation, Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen unintentionally touched upon the topic of their own family. Song Yan wanted to persuade Xu Qin to stop getting involved with him, as their mother would never approve of them being together. However, Xu Qin firmly stated that she would convince their mother to support her decision. Meng Yanchen blurted out in excitement, "If Xu Qin and Song Yan can be together, why can't we?" Xu Qin immediately silenced him and honestly admitted that Meng Yanchen could only be her brother.

After being rejected by his sister, Meng Yanchen went to a bar to drink. This time, he encountered a male customer sexually harassing a waitress named Ye Zi. Leaf defended her colleague and ended up getting slapped by the customer. Feeling frustrated, Meng Yanchen couldn't stand such despicable behavior and smashed the bottle against the customer. Since he had money, he wasn't afraid of causing trouble. That night, Meng Yanchen called for a designated driver, and Ye Zi happened to be the one. Ye Zi drove him home, and Meng Yanchen suggested that she should quit working at the bar and offered to help her find a new job.

Episode 14 Recap

The fire station received another rescue mission. This time, there was a fire in the suburban area, which was originally a demolition site and shouldn't have had anyone present. However, after Song Yan's investigation, he discovered a lot of garbage inside, indicating that there were temporary occupants. He led the firefighters and rushed in.

Inside the fire, Song Yan found a little girl who had already lost consciousness. He immediately took off his breathing mask and placed it over her face. Outside the fire, the firefighters worked relentlessly to extinguish it. Someone exclaimed that they had been inside for too long, and the air pressure was insufficient. The department's walls started to collapse, and staying inside any longer would be even more dangerous. While fighting the fire, the firefighters used their walkie-talkies to call for their teammates to pay attention to safety.

Finally, Song Yan and his comrades rescued two people. An elderly person showed no signs of life, but the little girl Song Yan had rescued from the fire was in the rescue room. Jiang Yu felt saddened upon hearing that the elderly person couldn't be revived. Reality splashed cold water on him, making him realize the importance of physical training in daily life. After enduring a fierce battle, Song Yan took his comrades to a nearby place to eat fried chicken and replenish their energy. At that moment, a few beautiful girls passed by the fried chicken restaurant, causing some young firefighters to be captivated. After the girls passed by, a firefighter reported that Da Peng had been checking them out. It was the age of youthful vitality, and of course, everyone desired to be in a relationship. Some joked about not having a car, a house, or time, wondering how any girl could be interested in them. Those words struck a chord with Song Yan, reminding him of his current situation. He had encountered a girl he liked, but due to his poor family background, he became like a flower in a mirror, unreachable.

Xu Qin made every effort to treat the unconscious little girl. Normally, in such cases, immediate surgery to remove fluid from the abdomen was necessary. However, Xu Qin carefully examined the girl and ruled out any objections. She suggested conservative treatment, as the girl was too young, and surgery would leave scars that could lead to psychological trauma in the future. This time, Xu Qin personally took care of the little girl, and her efforts paid off as the girl finally regained consciousness. Xu Qin sent a message to Song Yan on WeChat to inform him that everything was okay. Hearing the news, Song Yan finally felt relieved.

Jiang Yu told Song Yan that the little girl they rescued from the fire was named Xiao Juzi. She had a pitiable background, having been abandoned by her parents from a young age. Later, she was raised by an unrelated old woman. Unfortunately, the fire claimed the life of the elderly woman as well. Now, Xiao Juzi truly had no one to rely on. Song Yan was deeply moved, as it reminded him of his own childhood. Fortunately, he still had his aunt.

Song Yan brought some essential supplies to visit Xiao Juzi. While doing so, he encountered reporters interviewing Xu Qin. One reporter asked Xu Qin how she felt about finding Xiao Juzi's mother. Xu Qin responded without hesitation, stating that her mother had abandoned her in the first place, so what use was it to find her now? This statement resonated with Song Yan.

Xu Qin received a call from her mother, who said that Jiang Yu's mother wanted to meet her. Initially, Xu Qin was going to refuse, but when she heard that her mother would be bringing someone to the hospital to visit, she immediately agreed, claiming to have free time.

Jiang Yu's parents and Xu Qin's parents were old friends, and both families were well-matched. Xu Qin's father had a favorable impression of Jiang Yu. While chatting, Xu Qin openly admitted that she already had someone she liked but was facing opposition from her parents. Jiang Yu, being a considerate person, immediately adopted a different demeanor during the ensuing "interview." He intentionally portrayed himself as lacking ideals and a sense of responsibility, etc., resulting in Xu Qin's mother giving him a low score.

Since Xu Qin had clearly stated her decision to Meng Yanchen, the two of them hadn't spoken for several days. This time, Xu Qin went to Xiao Yixiao's bar to drink. Xiao Yixiao inadvertently mentioned that Meng Yanchen had come to the bar on his birthday, drank excessively, and even hit someone with a bottle. It completely changed Xiao Yixiao's perception of Meng Yanchen.

Episode 15 Recap

At the breakfast table, Song Yan's cousin Zhai Miao asked him if he had been dumped by Xu Qin again. She blamed her brother for having a poor memory, saying that once falling into a pit was enough, but he persisted and pursued Xu Qin, only to end up disappointed.

Song Yan disagreed with his cousin's assessment of Xu Qin as arrogant and aloof. He believed that Xu Qin was actually quite timid, willing to sacrifice her own freedom for the sake of her family. Zhai Miao became so angry upon hearing Song Yan defending Xu Qin that she couldn't even eat her bun. She scolded Song Yan for being ignorant of his own fortune. Li Meng, a firefighter at the fire station, would be such a great girl for him, but Song Yan couldn't see it. Aunt also added that Li Meng would be a suitable match for Song Yan. Their families were compatible, and Li Meng was straightforward, enthusiastic, and an excellent girl.

In the morning, when Song Yan went to work at the fire station, he coincidentally encountered Li Meng. Li Meng gave him a ride to work in her car, and they chatted along the way. Unfortunately, while waiting at a red light, they ran into Xu Qin. The two made eye contact, and Xu Qin intended to greet Song Yan. However, upon seeing Li Meng in the driver's seat, Xu Qin retracted her hand and silently rolled up the car window.

The fire station received a distress call. Several university students had gone mountaineering in the back mountains but hadn't returned. Jiang Yu and Song Yan immediately went to the scene. The parents of the students pleaded desperately for the firefighters to rescue their children immediately. The mountainous environment made the rescue operation extremely challenging, and the parents were anxious for the firefighters to act quickly. Jiang Yu reassured the parents, explaining that each lost "tourist" represented a life, and the lives of the firefighters were just as valuable. After urgent deployment, the firefighters found a local guide familiar with the terrain to lead them up the mountain. After a four-hour arduous journey, they finally located the missing "hikers."

One of the girls had a fractured leg with a severely injured and bloody wound. The situation was critical. Song Yan immediately called Xu Qin for advice on first aid for a fracture. Xu Qin received the call and promptly provided detailed instructions. At that moment, Meng Yanchen personally came to pick up Xu Qin from work. Seeing Xu Qin's nervous demeanor while on the phone, he guessed that it was Song Yan calling. While descending the mountain with the hikers, Junping accidentally slipped into a gorge and got his foot stuck in a crevice between rocks. The hikers who were rescued at the mountain were now extremely impatient and asked the firefighters to send them back first. Without any rescue tools and with poor signal reception in the area, Song Yan had no choice but to ask the firefighters to take the hikers back while he stayed behind to watch over Junping.

Jiang Yu escorted the hikers back to the fire station, thinking that they had suffered serious injuries. He took extra care of them throughout the journey, providing assistance and support. However, upon reaching the fire station, he was astonished to see the hikers running into the arms of their parents. It turned out they were fine, but the firefighters had risked their lives by falling into the gorge while trying to save them. These tourists, however, were only concerned about their own safety and urged the firefighters to save them first, displaying extreme selfishness.

Upon returning home, Xu Qin couldn't reach Song Yan on the phone and became very worried. Firefighters face various unexpected situations during rescue missions every day, so not having news about Song Yan made Xu Qin extremely anxious.

Song Yan stayed by Junping's side, holding him and keeping him warm. Later, his fellow firefighters returned and immediately rescued Junping. On the way back, Jiang Yu felt disappointed in human nature, while Song Yan took it in stride and comforted him, saying that spending too much time living in a glass enclosure made him accustomed to encountering all kinds of situations. Jiang Yu sighed, realizing that when he first joined the fire station, it was out of his overflowing love. He never expected to encounter so many challenges once he immersed himself in it.

Episode 16 Recap

After the previous rescue experience, Jiang Yu reported to his superiors and proposed the establishment of a fire medical rescue team. This way, they would know how to provide medical care for casualties in case of emergency situations. The leadership saw that Jiang Yu had made a detailed plan and felt that he was very dedicated to his work. The suggestion was reasonable, so they allowed Jiang Yu to communicate with the hospital.

When Jiang Yu went to the hospital, he brought Song Yan along. Xu Qin accompanied her brother Meng Yanchen for a medical examination at the hospital, and they happened to meet. Jiang Yu didn't know about Xu Qin's relationship with Song Yan, so he introduced Song Yan to Meng Yanchen. Both sides claimed not to know each other, and Jiang Yu was happy to be their intermediary.

The hospital received a collaboration invitation from the fire station and assigned this task to Xu Qin's team. Jiang Xiaorao visited Xu Qin at her home and asked about her recent progress with Song Yan. Xu Qin sighed and said that she used to think that uncertain love would hurt Song Yan, but now it seemed that both of them were hurt. They rarely contacted each other in everyday life, and their work occasionally intersected. Xu Qin admitted that she didn't know if Song Yan, ten years from now, would have changed. Song Yan was no longer proactive, so they both hesitated and couldn't get closer to each other. Jiang Xiaorao couldn't help but find it amusing. It was rare to hear someone talk about love like this—clearly having feelings for each other but unable to approach.

Medical personnel came to the fire station to train them in some emergency treatment techniques. At the same time, the firefighters instructed the medical personnel on some precautions when entering the scene. Xu Qin and a few medical staff were taken by the firefighters to visit the dormitory and each training site. Jiang Yu noticed the subtle reactions between Xu Qin and Song Yan and quickly guessed that Song Yan was Xu Qin's ex-boyfriend. Jiang Yu was sometimes absent-minded and spoke off-topic, but he could also be perceptive and understand human nature. Through long-term interaction, Jiang Yu gradually got to know Song Yan and developed a camaraderie. Now, their communication and conversation became much smoother.

Recently, Xu Qin had been undergoing training at the fire station, which naturally provided more opportunities for them to meet. In the cafeteria, Song Yan noticed that Xu Qin still had a small appetite and couldn't help but remind her not to waste food. Moreover, with such a heavy training workload, she needed to replenish her energy to keep up with physical fitness. Song Yan continued to nag about this, so Xu Qin sat opposite him in defiance and finished all the food in her lunchbox.

There were more male comrades at the fire station, but now with the addition of female doctors, the soldiers were excited. They all worked diligently to clean and tidy up, striving to leave a good impression on the doctors. When the medical staff saw the neatly folded bedding that resembled tofu cubes, they immediately marveled at how well the firefighters managed their dormitory, even better than the girls' dormitory. Zhang Dapeng immediately opened their storage cabinet honestly and hid away some messy items. A nurse noticed a "Pandan" label in the storage cabinet and instantly had an impression of Zhang Dapeng. When she saw Zhang Dapeng coming to deliver training uniforms next time, she blurted out "Pandan" as a greeting, leaving Dapeng embarrassed.

There were no female facilities in the fire station's bathroom, so the medical personnel were allowed to wash first. To prevent anyone from accidentally entering without knowing, firefighters were stationed outside the door. Two medical staff members saw the stuttering soldier on guard duty and found him very shy. They couldn't help but laugh since every soldier here seemed to be shy.

In the evening, Jiang Yu and Song Yan discussed the training plan for the next day. They both believed that they should learn from each other. They would teach the medical staff some emergency rescue techniques, and the team members should also familiarize themselves with emergency rescue knowledge. They quickly reached a consensus on this matter.

Zhai Miao was about to graduate, but because her chosen major wasn't in high demand, finding a job was equivalent to being unemployed. Zhai Miao thought about doing livestreaming sales, and fortunately, her roommate Yezi was very photogenic, so Zhai Miao asked for her help.

While Xu Qin was conducting training for the firefighters, Song Yan was recommended to be a human model. Being in close proximity to Xu Qin, he felt somewhat restless. Each comrade came to his side, trying to find the body joints as instructed by Xu Qin. Song Yan felt embarrassed and soon voluntarily withdrew from being a human model.

Episode 17 Recap

The firefighters and medical personnel began training for emergency rescue and first aid. Jiang Yu divided everyone into groups, pairing firefighters with medical personnel to cooperate and complete the entire rescue operation in the shortest possible time. Jiang Yu intentionally put Xu Qin and Song Yan in the same group, but Song Yan immediately swapped positions with his comrade to take his place in the training.

During the training, the firefighters were skilled in climbing and descending, but the medical personnel encountered some difficulties. Yang Chi noticed a girl crying due to a fear of heights. He didn't know if his voice had been too loud during training or how to comfort her, so he felt at a loss. After the climbing training, Song Yan met Xu Qin in the fitness training room. Xu Qin ignored him in anger and increased the intensity of her training. Song Yan continued training beside her, and Xu Qin couldn't help but ask why he didn't want to be in the same group as her during training. Song Yan honestly admitted that if they were in the same group, it would distract other comrades. Hearing this, Xu Qin quickly forgave him.

While running on the treadmill, Xu Qin sprained her foot, and Song Yan helped her with bone setting. As they chatted, they suddenly realized that their comrades were all standing around them, staring at the two of them without blinking. Everyone was very interested in the team leader's personal life. Finally hearing some news about the team leader's romantic life, they all wanted to learn a thing or two and maybe catch some luck in love.

That day, the fire station received an emergency call about a bus accident. The medical personnel were present, so they all responded together. The scene was extremely severe. The bus had crashed through the guardrail and fallen off a cliff. There were children inside the bus and passengers who hadn't managed to escape in time. It was late at night, and the lighting was extremely poor. The firefighters tied safety ropes around their waists and descended one by one to search and rescue the trapped passengers from the vehicle.

The low visibility and treacherous terrain made the search and rescue operation even more challenging. The firefighters searched one by one and used makeshift stretchers to bring up each trapped passenger. When they had almost rescued everyone, a girl cried out that her friend Chen Yu was still down below. The firefighters searched again and finally found Chen Yu trapped at the bottom of the cliff. However, his vital signs were very weak, so the firefighters dared not act rashly. Xu Qin received the task and voluntarily requested to go down and search for Chen Yu.

The situation was complex, and it was also risky to place Xu Qin below the cliff. So Song Yan decided to go down with her. Luckily, with Xu Qin's presence, she immediately administered a stimulant injection to Chen Yu, encouraged him not to fall asleep, and carefully bandaged his bleeding wounds. Meanwhile, the firefighters used a stretcher to lift him up. With the participation of the medical personnel in this rescue operation, they managed to save all the passengers in the shortest possible time, earning great merit.

Where there is danger, there are firefighters. Even in times of peace, accidents can happen. Firefighters are like angels of light. When victims lose hope in life, firefighters promptly alleviate their suffering and deliver hope without hesitation.

In this traffic accident, the most severely injured patient was named Chen Yu. Initially, according to the passengers' accounts, after the vehicle overturned, Chen Yu broke the window with a suitcase and helped each trapped child and woman to exit the vehicle. He should have been praised by the media and the public. However, two other girls who were also in the vehicle held a grudge against Chen Yu. When they saw the media reporters, they immediately claimed that Chen Yu was a fraud, using deception to gain money and favors. Several girls deceived by him had planned to meet up and bring him to the police station, but the accident happened at that moment. As a result, these deceived girls denied that Chen Yu was a "hero."

Seeing the media reports, Jiang Yu felt that the world was truly vast. Chen Yu seemed to embody both good and evil, capable of both saving and harming people. It was truly difficult to judge.

Li Meng saw that the media reporters were coming to interview the firefighters, so she immediately called Song Yan over to give him the opportunity to appear on camera and take credit. However, Song Yan modestly pushed Xu Qin in front of the camera and even said that this rescue operation was successful thanks to the tremendous assistance of the medical personnel. Li Meng gave Song Yan a glare for being such a modest fool.

Episode 18 Recap

Xu Qin noticed the unusual relationship between Li Meng and Song Yan and felt jealous. Her words carried a sour tone. Song Yan reminded Xu Qin that since she had made her decision, he fully supported her and would no longer force her. After a few days, he would bravely leave the past behind and marry another woman to start a happy family. Looking at Song Yan's back, Xu Qin realized that he was serious this time. If she didn't act quickly, this man in front of her might no longer belong to her.

Firefighters not only extinguished fires and carried out rescue operations but also investigated the causes of fires. This time, Li Meng and Jiang Yu went to the scene of a fire to determine the cause. The workshop supervisor cordially led them and even invited them to visit other places. Li Meng noticed traces of oil at the point of ignition and immediately instructed Jiang Yu to collect a sample. Sensing something was amiss, the workshop supervisor secretly called for reinforcements. Soon, a group of thugs arrived, armed with weapons, and surrounded the firefighters, threatening them to hand over the evidence. Li Meng immediately instructed Jiang Yu to protect the evidence.

The opposing party refused to hand over the evidence despite the firefighters obtaining it. They showed their violent nature, waving their knives. Jiang Yu quickly intervened and stopped his comrades, reminding them that there were rules in their team and they couldn't resort to violence against the crowd. As the other party was armed and the firefighters couldn't fight back, they were at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Song Yan arrived with a few firefighter comrades as reinforcement, and Jiang Yu was finally rescued.

In order to protect Jiang Yu, Yang Chi injured his palm. There were also other injured personnel. After attending to the injuries of the other personnel, Xu Qin discreetly called Yang Chi aside. She noticed that Yang Chi was also injured and voluntarily cleaned his wound. Yang Chi had previously cooperated with Xu Qin to complete climbing exercises, and she had shed tears out of fear at that time. Now, seeing the deep wound on Yang Chi's hand, she couldn't help but shed tears again. It was the first time Yang Chi saw a girl cry for him, and he felt a different kind of emotion in his heart.

Jiang Yu noticed that Xu Qin never hesitated to join the team during dangerous situations. This time, while dismissing the team, he exchanged a few words with Xu Qin. Song Yan sat in the passenger seat and overheard Jiang Yu's conversation with Xu Qin. They seemed familiar. Their comrades immediately understood Song Yan's thoughts and urged Jiang Yu to prepare for dismissal.

Finally, after testing by the technical department, it was confirmed that the factory fire was intentionally set by someone to commit insurance fraud. The investigation results came out, and those who assaulted the firefighters were successfully convicted. They were charged not only with provoking trouble and endangering public safety but also with the serious crime of assaulting firefighters.

At night, Jiang Yu tossed and turned in bed. He couldn't bear the fact that he didn't let the firefighters fight back against the thugs, resulting in several firefighters being beaten up. Now, thinking about it, he felt remorse and realized that his comrades might have grievances against him. He discussed with Song Yan what to do. Song Yan pretended to be asleep and turned his face away to rest. Jiang Yu found it interesting. Since Song Yan didn't say anything, he started questioning and answering himself. In the end, he even cheered himself on by calling his own name, encouraging himself to handle these matters well tomorrow. Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Song Yan couldn't help but smile.

A few days later, the police had the firefighters who were beaten identify the culprits. Upon hearing the police say that assaulting firefighters could result in at least three years in prison, the group of thugs panicked. They burst into tears and pleaded with the firefighters, expressing regret for their past actions. This time, they had learned their lesson and would have to spend at least three years behind bars. Some even knelt down and begged for mercy. Seeing those villains receiving the punishment they deserved, the firefighters finally felt relieved.

Episode 19 Recap

After a whole day of training, Jiang Yu and Xu Qin fed stray cats together during their rest time. The firefighters couldn't help but ask Xu Qin why she didn't keep pets at home. Xu Qin frankly explained that even though her home was spacious, pets would be confined indoors and not have any freedom. Pets generally have shorter lifespans than humans, and she didn't want to waste her emotions, so she decided not to keep pets.

Some of their comrades disagreed with Xu Qin's viewpoint. They mentioned that the station leader, Song Yan, had a dog and had a deep emotional bond with it. Song Yan reluctantly said that he was planning to send the dog away. Xu Qin was surprised, and Zhang Dapeng quickly explained that Song Yan intended to send the dog to the military camp to become a police dog. In his spare time, Song Yan had been training the dog, and now it had excellent investigation and rescue capabilities. Moreover, being a police dog would provide it companionship with its own kind.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn. Jiang Yu arranged for the firefighters to have family visitation time. Due to the high number of accidents during the autumn season, there wasn't enough time. Jiang Yu and Xu Qin came up with a solution together. They helped contact the family members of each firefighter and learned that they didn't have time to visit. Instead, the families prepared meals that firefighters loved at home and had them delivered. The firefighters were thrilled to eat the home-cooked food prepared by their loved ones and watch recorded greetings from their families. Everyone was deeply moved.

Soon, the firefighters received an emergency call. A person was trapped under a wardrobe at home and couldn't move. Xu Qin and the medical staff went for the rescue. The man who called for help was named Wu Xuan Yang. He rarely went outside and kept various strange pets at home, including lizards, snakes, and even an alpaca. It was the alpaca that knocked over the wardrobe and trapped him under heavy objects. The firefighters broke the door and moved him out from under the heavy objects. Wu Xuan Yang unconsciously held his chest and complained of feeling suffocated. Song Yan quickly called for Xu Qin, and Xu Qin, along with several medical staff, rushed over to provide a preliminary diagnosis. After the diagnosis, Xu Qin felt that the patient's condition was severe and immediately recommended that Wu Xuan Yang go to the hospital for further treatment. However, Wu Xuan Yang refused and pushed the medical staff out of the bedroom.

Since they had already rescued Wu Xuan Yang from under the heavy objects, the rescue operation was considered successful. Xu Qin was initially driven away by Wu Xuan Yang, and she could have left. However, she sensed something was wrong and went back to knock on the door. At that moment, there was no response from the bedroom. Fortunately, the firefighters promptly opened the door and sent Wu Xuan Yang to the hospital; otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

Outside the operating room, the patient's family received a phone call and quickly arrived. Without understanding the situation, they thought it was the firefighters who brought the patient to the hospital and questioned the accompanying doctors for delaying treatment. They shamelessly blamed the firefighters and confronted them. There was even a self-media reporter livestreaming the incident. The patient's family stopped Xu Qin and demanded an explanation. At that moment, Song Yan walked over, pulled Xu Qin behind him, faced the patient's family, and assured them that he would take full responsibility for any questions they had. He then recounted the entire process of receiving the emergency call and the subsequent events. It was thanks to the accompanying medical staff that they discovered Wu Xuan Yang's condition. After hearing the explanation from the firefighters, the patient's family no longer dared to speak recklessly.

The medical staff had been training at the fire station for a while, and the hospital was short-staffed. Xu Qin and a few colleagues were preparing to leave the fire station. Song Yan bought an aquarium and put some tropical fish in it as a gift for Xu Qin. The aquarium was beautifully arranged and had a self-sustaining ecosystem, so additional feeding was not necessary. Xu Qin was delighted to receive the gift. After a few days, Song Yan discovered a turtle on his desk with a note attached, wishing Song Yan a long life like a turtle. It was a gift from Xu Qin, and Song Yan gladly accepted it.

Meng Yanchen brought gifts and visited Xu Qin at the hospital. Upon learning that Xu Qin had been studying at the fire station, he became unhappy and tried to persuade his younger sister not to work at the hospital anymore. Their family had a business and connections in various fields, so there was no need for her to work so hard at the hospital. When Meng Yanchen finally heard that Xu Qin had some free time, he was very happy and accompanied her to go shopping. He also suggested that Xu Qin engage in the sales promotion of medical equipment, as the job paid well, was usually relaxed, and, more importantly, would reduce her contact with firefighters in the future. Although Meng Yanchen had thought everything through, including several pharmaceutical companies where Xu Qin could work, Xu Qin currently had no intention of resigning.

Episode 20 Recap

As the saying goes, "Enemies often cross paths." In the supermarket, Xu Qin and Song Yan coincidentally ran into each other. Song Yan was accompanied by Dapeng for grocery shopping, and they encountered Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen shopping as well. When Meng Yanchen and Song Yan locked eyes, sparks seemed to fly between them. To ease the tension, Xu Qin quickly grabbed a bag of potato chips from a nearby shelf. Meng Yanchen deliberately made a veiled comment, suggesting that potato chips are unhealthy and one should stay away from junk food. It was clearly provocation. Song Yan, unfazed, grabbed three or five bags of French fries from the vicinity and put them in the shopping cart. He then left with his comrades.

Upon hearing that her daughter was currently undergoing firefighting training at the fire station, Xu Qin's mother immediately called the hospital director, assuming that her daughter's old flame, Song Yan, would reignite. She demanded that the nurses be immediately withdrawn from the fire station. Coincidentally, she ran into Meng Yanchen returning home. Xu Qin's mother questioned Meng Yanchen, asking if he also knew about her sister being at the fire station. Meng Yanchen remained silent, hesitating about whether to help his sister conceal the truth. He explained that Xu Qin and Song Yan were not together anymore. This angered Xu Qin's mother, accusing Meng Yanchen of favoring his sister. She believed that she had given them too much freedom.

The captain of the fire station reminded Song Yan that they had received a complaint. The medical team should not have formed a joint team with the fire station. Jiang Yu was also surprised and wondered who had filed the complaint. Song Yan already had a suspicion that it was related to Xu Qin's mother. Many years ago, he had experienced the tactics of Xu Qin's mother. When she found out that her daughter was in a relationship with him, she exaggerated the situation and reported it to the school, almost ruining Song Yan's academic record. At that time, Song Yan's uncle knelt down, begging Xu Qin's mother for mercy, hoping that she would spare him. He pleaded that Song Yan was still young, and his future was still long. Whenever Song Yan thought about his family kneeling before Xu Qin's mother because of him, he clenched his fists with hatred.

Sure enough, a few days later, Xu Qin's mother came to see Song Yan. Song Yan had already guessed the purpose of this meeting. He confronted Xu Qin's mother, reminding her not to go too far and not to have any ill intentions towards his family. An old dog can't learn new tricks. Xu Qin's mother intentionally claimed that people should have dignity when they are alive. She insinuated that his intentions in approaching Xu Qin twice might not be pure and hoped that he wouldn't covet wealth and status like his mother. These words were very hurtful. Xu Qin's mother mentioned Song Yan's sore spot. He didn't hesitate to fight back, stating that he became a firefighter and had never looked down upon or disrespected anyone, except for her. He had never held her in high regard. After saying these words, he paid for the coffee on the table using his phone and left.

Xu Qin and a few colleagues saw the firefighters undergoing fire extinguishing training. They observed how the firefighters held the water hoses with ease. The medical staff was eager to try it themselves, but when they turned on the water taps, they lost control, and Xu Qin ended up getting wet from the water hose. Song Yan noticed from a distance but didn't come to help.

In the dressing room, Song Yan learned that Xu Qin's clothes had gotten wet. He specially fetched a set of firefighting gear and sent it to her. After taking a shower, Xu Qin's hair was still wet, so Song Yan helped her blow-dry it. This scene reminded Xu Qin of a time in high school when they got caught in the rain together. Song Yan brought her to his aunt's house and found a hairdryer for her, urging her to quickly dry her hair to avoid catching a cold the next day. Although time had passed since then, they both hadn't forgotten. At that moment, despite harboring beautiful memories, Song Yan firmly proposed breaking up. Xu Qin was heartbroken, but she had no choice. Her mother's opposition still remained, as if there were mountains separating them.

The time to bid farewell had come. Xu Qin sat alone in the fire truck, taking the passenger seat that Song Yan often occupied. Feeling Song Yan's presence, she prayed every day for his safe return from missions. She unintentionally noticed a lighter on the seat. It was a gift she had personally given to Song Yan ten years ago. It turned out that he had been carrying it with him all this time. With this realization, Xu Qin couldn't help but shed tears.

Episode 21 Recap

Every time before the border defense mission, soldiers would write a letter to their families. Border defense missions are extremely dangerous, so these letters can be considered as testaments. Many of Song Yan's comrades had already written their letters, but he was hesitating. His mother had remarried, and his father had passed away. He believed that he had no one left to worry about except Xu Qin. So he only wrote a letter to Xu Qin.

The border defense mission was brutal, and several of his comrades encountered accidents. Song Yan was also hit by a few bullets, but the most fatal one struck his lighter in his chest pocket, which saved his life. When he woke up in the hospital bed and saw the lighter, he thought that if he had the chance, he would marry Xu Qin. However, five years had passed, and this wish remained unfulfilled. Song Yan knew that this matter couldn't be one-sided. If Xu Qin had decided to sever ties with him and their families, he didn't want to see that happen.

Xu Qin's mother started arranging blind dates for her two children. Knowing that they were busy, she even brought a blind date girl to their home. Meng Yanchen had originally planned to visit an art exhibition but couldn't resist his mother's invitation, so he reluctantly brought the blind date girl to the exhibition.

At the art exhibition, Meng Yanchen was captivated by a painting. The painting depicted two children sitting on a pale blue courtyard wall, surrounded by peach blossoms and lush green leaves. The childhood sweethearts portrayed in the painting seemed idyllic, but it appeared to be a reminiscence and longing of the artist alone. Meng Yanchen stood there in a daze when he suddenly noticed Yezi standing next to him. She had also seen the painting and advised Meng Yanchen not to spend a hefty price to buy it. According to Yezi, since it was a beautiful memory, it was better to keep it in one's heart instead of hanging it on the wall. Yezi's suggestion was very sensible, and Meng Yanchen appreciated her straightforwardness. He could feel a connection between the two of them.

The blind date girl was not interested in the art exhibition, and Meng Yanchen didn't show any special attention to her. They quickly went their separate ways. On his way back, it started raining, and Meng Yanchen happened to meet Yezi again. He invited her to get in the car.

Xu Qin left the fire brigade, and it had been a long time since she had been in contact with Song Yan. Song Yan had been restless these past few days, repeatedly picking up his phone. Finally, he gathered the courage to call Xu Qin. When he heard Xu Qin's voice on the other end of the line, Song Yan became somewhat tongue-tied. He immediately pretended to have dialed the wrong number. Xu Qin couldn't help but smile at his playful response. She confessed that she had a high IQ and knew he had indeed called, but he was trying to play it cool. They chatted about work for a while, and then Song Yan made an excuse to end the call.

Finally, the opportunity for Xu Qin and Song Yan to meet came. The hospital was conducting a fire drill, and Xu Qin was chosen to play the role of a trapped victim. Each participant in the fire drill had assigned roles and scripts. Xu Qin received her role as a trapped person in the pharmacy. The fire alarm rang for a long time, and Xu Qin sat bored in the ward, waiting for the firefighters' rescue. Half an hour passed, and no one came in. Feeling restless, Xu Qin stood up, preparing to tidy up and go home. At that moment, the door opened, and it turned out to be Song Yan, checking each room one by one. He was surprised to find Xu Qin and asked why she didn't call for help when she was trapped in the fire. Xu Qin was also puzzled since the script didn't mention calling for help or taking any other emergency measures; it simply instructed her to wait for someone to come and rescue her.

Suddenly, the lights on the ceiling started shaking, and glass bottles of medicines fell from the cabinets, shattering on the floor. It was clearly an earthquake. Song Yan quickly used his body to shield Xu Qin in a triangular safe zone, preventing her from getting hurt. When the tremors became smaller, Song Yan felt relieved and walked out of the room. Outside, people were shouting about an earthquake. Song Yan had to go for rescue operations, so he bid farewell to Xu Qin. As he saw the broken glass scattered in front of Xu Qin, he swiftly approached and carried her to a safe area before setting her down. Seeing Song Yan's back as he headed off, Xu Qin was filled with excitement. Whenever she saw Song Yan during a crisis, she felt incredibly safe. Unable to contain herself, she ran towards Song Yan, wanting to join him in the rescue efforts.

Episode 22 Recap

The city suddenly experienced an earthquake, causing chaos in the hospital. Medical staff hurriedly transferred injured patients to safe places. The news has already reported that there are other earthquake-stricken areas nearby. Upon receiving the message, firefighters immediately rushed to the disaster area to provide assistance.

Heading to the disaster-stricken area for rescue was inherently dangerous. The hospital director asked for volunteers to raise their hands. Xu Qin, the head of her department, was the first to stand up and sign up. In the face of this great disaster, Xu Qin, being a compassionate doctor, also raised her hand to volunteer. She quickly informed Meng Yanchen and her father through the phone before boarding the vehicle without hesitation.

Xu Qin and all the firefighters from the station arrived at the disaster-stricken area. The situation here was even worse than they had imagined. Many buildings had collapsed due to the earthquake. Xu Qin immediately reported to the authorities, seeking reinforcements. With collapsed buildings, there were inevitably injured people trapped inside. Until the arrival of large-scale rescue equipment, the firefighters used their bare hands to move a large amount of soil and rocks to rescue the trapped individuals.

The weather was extremely hot, and the firefighters wore thick protective gear. They searched every place one by one to see if there were any injured people and used hydraulic tools to pry open the debris. They discovered that there were injured people beneath concrete slabs, but the hydraulic tools were not enough. Some firefighters used large rocks to break the concrete slabs and then rescued the injured.

One of the rescued victims turned out to be a surgeon who usually wielded a scalpel in the operating room. Seeing the firefighters working so hard to save him, he couldn't help but cry. He knew that he might lose his skilled hands and felt lost and saddened about his future. Song Yan desperately supported the concrete slab to reduce harm to the trapped person while comforting him, saying that being alive was the most important thing, and even if he couldn't be a doctor anymore, there were other paths to take. With so many people dead and missing today, those who survived must not give in to despair.

Xu Qin personally performed trauma surgery for the severely injured person with crushed hands. Knowing that he was also a surgeon, they empathized with each other as colleagues. Xu Qin did her best to help him preserve that hand. Her colleagues were somewhat surprised as they had never seen Xu Qin chatting with patients during surgery before. Today was an exception. While entirely focused on connecting the patient's nerves and blood vessels, she also encouraged him to stay strong.

The disaster area was still experiencing aftershocks, and the firefighters not only had to continuously move debris and search for trapped people but also had to be cautious about the risk of further collapse due to the aftershocks. Xu Qin and Song Yan occasionally encountered each other during their work, and each time they rushed to save people, they looked at each other with expressions full of care and concern.

In these days, the medical staff witnessed too many sudden deaths, and they deeply felt the unpredictability of misfortune. They all said that if they had loved ones, they should cherish the time they spend together. Xu Qin couldn't help but be moved by this. The person she loved was right in front of her, yet she had pushed him away due to various prejudices and missed the chance for ten years. Xu Qin was now resolute and determined not to miss it again. If this rescue mission went smoothly, she would stand by Song Yan's side, never to leave him.

Late one night, the firefighters discovered signs of life and immediately hurried to clear the debris. Many large concrete slabs were too heavy for just two people to move, but with limited manpower, the firefighters gritted their teeth and persisted. Among them was a soldier named Jiang Yi, whose home was near the heavily affected area. Since the earthquake happened, he hadn't been able to contact his mother and aunt, and he was anxious and afraid. He tirelessly searched for trapped victims. Seeing that Jiang Yi had been working for two days and nights without rest, Song Yan pulled him aside, giving him water and instant noodles. To rescue more people, they needed to replenish their strength. Song Yan wrote down the names of Jiang Yi's aunt and mother and asked his contact personnel for help in finding them.

During the search, Xu Qin and the firefighters found a pregnant woman. Although the woman had no signs of life, her unborn baby still had a heartbeat. Time was of the essence, and Xu Qin immediately opened her medical kit, preparing to perform an emergency cesarean section to deliver the baby. Generally, when a mother passed away for four or five minutes, the fetus would also die. Xu Qin was racing against death. Song Yan stood by to protect the medical staff during the rescue. Seeing Xu Qin covered in sweat but skillfully and calmly performing the procedure, he understood her determination. The gentle and delicate girl in everyday life had become as tough and brave as a warrior in the disaster area. With Xu Qin's superb medical skills, the baby in the pregnant woman's belly survived successfully.

Episode 23 Recap

After helping the pregnant woman deliver her baby and carefully stitching up the wound, Xu Qin couldn't help but shed tears. She realized the true meaning of the words spoken by the chief physician, "Life is priceless, and doctors should be compassionate."

These days, Song Yan hadn't rested properly and ate very little, which led to symptoms of hypoglycemia. Xu Qin noticed him staggering and advised him to eat more and take short breaks every five to six hours to preserve his strength. Overexertion could lead to sudden death. Every firefighter was exhausted, but they couldn't afford to stop and rest when facing the debris and the need to find so many lives.

Li Meng managed to get information about the earthquake location based on the spot Jiang Yi provided. Unfortunately, Jiang Yi's sister and mother were in the clinic for IV therapy during the earthquake, and it was discovered that they didn't survive. Jiang Yi was devastated upon hearing this news, and even though his superiors asked the firefighters to proceed to other rescue operations, he insisted on going to the clinic. Li Meng tried to stop him, but Jiang Yi got on the vehicle without hesitation.

While searching through the debris, the firefighters suddenly encountered an aftershock. Song Yan used all his strength to push away a comrade who might be in danger but was himself trapped under the rubble. The other firefighters became anxious as they couldn't find Song Yan. The search was frantic, and Song Yan's trained dog was the first to detect signs of life and barked continuously in a certain direction.

They quickly brought life detection equipment and finally located Song Yan. The situation beneath the debris was extremely dangerous. Jiang Yu instructed his team to open a gap from the side and see if they could get Song Yan out. It was revealed that Song Yan was trapped, and Jiang Yu was frightened to tears. He pleaded with his comrades to lower him with a rope first, as saving lives was the priority.

Xu Qin managed to reach Song Yan through an extremely narrow crack. She found that a steel bar had pierced his abdomen, and blood was everywhere. Song Yan had also sustained head injuries and was unconscious. Xu Qin started administering an IV to him and wanted to stay with him in the debris, but her colleagues kept calling her. There were other patients who needed surgery, so Xu Qin tearfully bid farewell to Song Yan.

The comrades lowered themselves into the debris to break the steel bar that had pierced Song Yan's abdomen. While praying silently, they hoped that fate would be kind to their station leader. After so many life and death situations, Song Yan had become the spiritual pillar for everyone.

Another officer, Jiang Yi, came to reinforce the team. When he saw Xu Qin, he felt like he knew her from somewhere, but he couldn't recall where. Jiang Yi was very good at remembering faces and never forgetting them. He felt that Xu Qin was somehow significant. Eventually, he remembered that this girl was related to Song Yan. Once, Jiang Yi and Song Yan were on a mission together at the border. During that time, Song Yan got shot, but luckily, a lighter in his chest pocket saved him from the bullet. The sticker on the lighter was Xu Qin's. He finally understood why Xu Qin was important to Song Yan. At that time, there were many things going on, and Jiang Yi hadn't had a chance to tell Xu Qin about these past events.

Seeing Song Yan covered in blood and unconscious, Jiang Yu couldn't help but cry in a corner. He used to be interested in the firefighter profession, but now, facing the disaster and witnessing his comrades sacrificing their lives, confronting life and death every day, he was deeply moved and saddened.

Episode 24 Recap

Xu Qin rushed to the surgical tent, hearing that her colleague had taken over the patient's surgery on her behalf. These past few days of hard work made Xu Qin feel dizzy. She leaned against the tent and suddenly heard a dog barking. It was "Xiao Meng," the dog Song Yan had trained. Xiao Meng was standing guard in front of Xu Qin's working tent. Xu Qin understood its intention and couldn't help but burst into tears.

This rescue mission gave Xu Qin a deeper understanding of her work. She felt guilty about her previous attitude towards her profession. Now, as she performed surgeries with composure, she silently recited the oath from the medical scriptures, promising to treat lives with kindness, saving the dying and helping the wounded, and giving the utmost respect to life. After finishing the surgery, Xu Qin didn't rest. She immediately ran to the critical care tent to visit Song Yan. However, when she arrived, she saw a patient with a white cloth covering their head. Trembling all over, Xu Qin tearfully removed the cloth, only to find that it wasn't Song Yan lying there. Overwhelmed with emotion, Xu Qin cried. As long as Song Yan was still alive, she just wanted him to be alive. And it wasn't just Xu Qin; seeing how Song Yan looked when he was brought out from under the debris, the entire team was deeply affected, unable to eat anything.

Finally, after intensive care, Song Yan was out of danger, and this news greatly lifted the spirits of his comrades. After days of sleeplessness, Xu Qin finally collapsed from exhaustion. Medical staff placed her on a bed near Song Yan so she could see him as soon as she opened her eyes. After who knows how long, Xu Qin woke up. With her free hand, she pushed her bed closer to Song Yan's until they were side by side. Song Yan also opened his eyes. Tearfully, they exchanged smiles, and their eyes spoke volumes. They could understand each other without saying a word.

Xiao Yixiao learned about the disaster and specially used his car to transport many infrared detection devices to the disaster area. Before Xiao Yixiao arrived, Meng Yanchen had quietly delivered several batches of medical supplies to the disaster area. Xiao Yixiao brought Meng Yanchen to visit Xu Qin. Seeing Xu Qin lying motionless on a makeshift bed looking haggard and thin, Meng Yanchen felt heartbroken. He immediately pulled the blanket up and tucked it in tightly to keep Xu Qin from getting cold. Seeing Song Yan lying on the other bed beside Xu Qin, Meng Yanchen knew that he could only be a big brother to Xu Qin. He left some nutritional supplements for Xu Qin and then left with Xiao Yixiao.

Upon hearing that Song Yan was slightly better, the firefighters took advantage of their resting time to visit him. They told Song Yan that the baby they rescued that day had been reunited with his father. It turned out that the baby's father was also a firefighter who had rushed to the disaster site without knowing that his wife had been injured. Watching the media's video, the firefighters were also moved to tears. Luckily, the child was safe, bringing some comfort to their comrades.

Song Yan's comrades also told him about the situation when the earthquake occurred. At that time, the debris where Song Yan was buried was complex, but Xu Qin insisted on being sent inside by the firefighters, saying "Song Yan is her life." She disregarded the danger to her life and stayed by Song Yan's side, bearing witness to their deep affection. The weight of this profound love moved Song Yan deeply. When he was finally able to stand up, he used crutches to see Xu Qin. Xu Qin was overjoyed to see Song Yan gradually recovering. However, she had to continue helping the injured and asked Song Yan excitedly to meet after he fully recovered. Song Yan smiled and nodded.

Episode 25 Recap

The rescue mission has ended, and both the fire brigade and the medical rescue team are leaving. Everyone came to bid farewell. In front of everyone, Song Yan handed a bouquet of flowers to Xu Qin. She happily accepted them, and her colleagues teased her in the car on the way, making Xu Qin feel a bit embarrassed but still smiling.

Back at home, Xu Qin messaged Song Yan to inquire about his injuries. Song Yan replied that he was much better and asked her to take care. He also invited her to meet up. So, Song Yan waited downstairs, and they decided to take the subway to the movies to avoid traffic. Looking at the subway lines, Xu Qin felt a sense of wonder that two parallel lines could intersect. She reflected on the ten years they missed. However, Song Yan said it was a pseudo-proposition because the two lines themselves were not parallel.

At the movie theater, Song Yan bought popcorn and cola, asking Xu Qin what snacks she wanted. Xu Qin said she didn't really enjoy snacks anymore and didn't like chocolates either. During the movie, Song Yan suddenly left his seat as he noticed that the fire exit was locked. He immediately called the staff to handle it. When he returned, he asked Xu Qin what the movie was about, but she said she didn't watch it and was paying attention to what Song Yan was doing. The atmosphere between them felt subtle.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Song Yan escorted Xu Qin home. Xu Qin suggested that he have a meal before leaving, so they went to the supermarket together. They bought groceries, and Song Yan cooked a meal, which Xu Qin found delicious. She also mentioned how Song Yan couldn't cook before and remarked on his significant change. Song Yan explained that because his aunt and uncle sometimes went on long trips, he had learned how to cook.

After the meal, Song Yan washed the dishes, and Xu Qin quietly watched him, offering him a cup of tea. However, Song Yan said it was too late and left. Xu Qin chased after him downstairs but couldn't find him. Her eyes turned red with tears. Suddenly, Song Yan appeared behind her and confessed his feelings, hoping they could be together. Xu Qin asked if he still liked her, and Song Yan replied that even if ten years had passed and her preferences and personality had changed, he still liked her. Xu Qin lowered her head, and Song Yan told her to think about it carefully and find him when she's decided. Xu Qin grew anxious, rushed forward, and hugged Song Yan, agreeing to be with him. They officially became a couple that day.

At the fire station, a colleague had been running, and Jiang Yu and others noticed him. Jiang Yu said it was trauma stress disorder and could only be resolved through companionship and time.

At home, Xu Qin embraced Song Yan from behind as they watched the snow. Song Yan urged her to go to work, and they had breakfast together. Xu Qin asked if he would get bored being alone at home. Song Yan replied that he would meet Li Gong in the afternoon. As they took the elevator downstairs, Xu Qin suddenly asked Song Yan if Li Gong liked him. Song Yan said no. Xu Qin then asked if he liked her, and Song Yan felt helpless. He kissed Xu Qin and asked her what time she finished work so he could take her out for dinner. Xu Qin replied that she was busy with surgery today, so Song Yan told her to call him after work.

At the fire station, two colleagues asked Xiao Ge to eat, but he said he wasn't hungry and lay on the table. They left, and another colleague comforted him, suggesting that sharing his troubles might help.

Li Gong was giving a lecture to the firefighters about trauma stress disorder when Jiang Yu asked a question about how to resolve the condition. Li Gong answered him and then announced a ten-minute break for the lecture.

At the hospital's commendation ceremony, the leadership invited Xu Qin to speak. She humbly said she was also a survivor and shared how she had intended to leave a patient who had stopped breathing to help others. However, a firefighter who dug out the patient discovered that she was a pregnant woman, and only then was Xu Qin able to save the baby, preventing a major work mistake. Everyone was deeply moved by her story.

Li Gong returned to the stage and found a note added. There was also a full water bottle. The note reminded her to take care of herself.

Director Xu called Xu Qin into his office and presented her with a medal as a memento, encouraging her to continue working hard. Xu Qin admired the medal when she wore it on her chest. Her colleagues told her that it was a gift from a health station manager in Africa to Director Xu. He wore it every year on Physician's Day, so Xu Qin said she would also wear it every year on Physician's Day.

Episode 26 Recap

It was snowing heavily outside when Song Yan returned home, and it happened to be dinner time. Zhai Miao asked where Song Yan had been, but he didn't answer. Zhai Miao then complained that Song Yan never took her out. After a moment of contemplation while eating, Song Yan suddenly put down his chopsticks and solemnly announced to them that he and Xu Qin were back together. Zhai Miao was excited, and Aunt quickly stuffed food into her mouth to prevent her from talking.

At the fire station, Jiang Yu and another team member discussed bringing in a professional for treatment. Li Gong from the detachment would be suitable, so Jiang Yu planned to contact him.

On the other hand, the leadership was preparing to promote Song Yan, but he didn't want to leave Ten Li Tai. The leadership was worried and said that Song Yan was not young anymore and needed to start a family. They urged him to take the opportunity to move to the agency.

Song Yan went to find Li Gong and offered to help her with the brochures. Li Gong inquired about Song Yan's injuries, and he said he was much better. Song Yan mentioned the PTSD of several team members, and Li Gong assured him that she would pay more attention. Li Gong also teased Song Yan about him and the doctor, and Song Yan honestly said that she was his girlfriend now. Li Gong congratulated him and joked that he was completely taken by Xu Qin. Song Yan replied that Xu Qin couldn't live without him.

At the hospital, Xu Qin picked up her phone but didn't see any messages from Song Yan. She felt a bit disappointed, so she took off her coat to get ready to leave work.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were playing basketball. Jiang Yu asked if Jiang Yi had any issues, and he said he was really okay. During halftime, Jiang Yu, as an instructor, expressed his desire to help Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi seemed heavy-hearted and sighed, saying that being a firefighter for eight years felt different this time because his mother was in the disaster area. He felt upset that he couldn't protect his own family in the first instance. He couldn't bear to think about what would happen if his mother died and felt like an inadequate son. Jiang Yu comforted him, and Jiang Yi assured him that he was fine, and his original intention for becoming a firefighter hadn't changed. He asked Jiang Yu to pay more attention to the newcomers. They resumed playing basketball.

At home, Xu Qin checked Li Gong's social media posts and thought of sending a message to Song Yan, asking why he hadn't contacted her all day. However, she ultimately decided not to and only asked him what he was doing. Song Yan felt that she missed him, so he went to see Xu Qin. Xu Qin was happy and greeted him downstairs. Song Yan asked if Xu Qin missed him, but she playfully claimed it had just been too long since she last saw him, so she came to meet him. Song Yan pretended to leave, and Xu Qin became upset. However, to her surprise, Song Yan didn't really leave but came back to comfort her, wondering why she was beating around the bush. He realized Xu Qin was upset because he hadn't actively contacted her, but she didn't want to ask directly, fearing that he would find her petty. Song Yan felt that if they were going to get married, they couldn't act like this, and he didn't want Xu Qin to have any concerns.

Xu Qin noticed a scar on Song Yan's shoulder and thought it was a bullet wound, but he said it wasn't. Xu Qin smiled from time to time, and everyone guessed that she was in a relationship, sparking gossip among them. Meng Yanchen went to buy the cereal Xu Qin liked but couldn't find it. He asked the store attendant and learned that the cereal factory was about to close. Meng Yanchen decided to acquire the cereal factory. He called Xu Qin but had to hang up hastily as she was about to have dinner with Song Yan. At the mall, they ran into Xiao Xiao, who knew Meng Yanchen and almost slipped about Xu Qin and Song Yan. Meng Yanchen asked about Ye Zi and found out she had become an internet celebrity.

Zhai Miao and Ye Zi were doing live streaming to raise money, intending to donate it to the disaster-stricken area. They ran into Meng Yanchen, and Ye Zi greeted him. Meng Yanchen learned about their donation plan.

The company's performance has been good recently, but Meng Yanchen didn't want to deal with it at all.

Episode 27 Recap

Meng Yanchen left Meng's home feeling worried about Xu Qin. He thought of calling her while sitting in the car, but in the end, he didn't dial the number. When he arrived downstairs at Xu Qin's home, he coincidentally met Song Yan. Xu Qin called Song Yan "brother" and quickly went over to hug him. Song Yan asked her to go upstairs, and Xu Qin obediently went upstairs.

Meng Yanchen looked at Song Yan and said that as long as their parents didn't agree, they couldn't be together. He believed that Song Yan wasn't worthy of Xu Qin. He told Song Yan that if he had any pride, he should have worked hard for the past ten years to become worthy of Xu Qin. However, Song Yan responded by saying that no one from the Meng family was qualified to discuss whether he was worthy or not. He accused Meng Yanchen of not truly understanding Xu Qin, stating that Xu Qin felt suppressed in the Meng family, suffered from long-term insomnia, and needed sleeping pills to fall asleep. However, she was happy when she was with him. Meng Yanchen felt ashamed by his words, and Song Yan looked upstairs, saying that Xu Qin might jump from the building someday. After speaking, he went upstairs.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Xu Qin quickly opened the door and asked if they had quarreled. Song Yan told her to go and check, and Xu Qin closed the door.

Meng Yanchen was drinking alone when Xiao Xiao came in and encouraged him to share his troubles. Meng Yanchen compared his situation to two caterpillars living in darkness. One of them was about to transform into a butterfly and fly away, leaving the other caterpillar unable to find its past companion. Xiao Xiao immediately recognized that he was talking about himself and Xu Qin. She comforted him, saying that Xu Qin was braver than Meng Yanchen.

Meng Yanchen ordered another bottle of alcohol, and Ye Zi brought it to him. However, his friend stopped Ye Zi and questioned why she was still doing part-time work instead of getting a job. Ye Zi answered all the questions, but his friend advised her to be realistic and not to have any other ideas. He commented on her appearance and demeanor, telling her to go settle the accounts and not come to work tomorrow. Ye Zi was stunned, and her colleagues began discussing the situation.

His friend handed Meng Yanchen a glass of water, saying it was vodka. Meng Yanchen replied that he wasn't foolish and his friend told him to take a rest as he had to leave for something. He instructed the waiter to arrange a designated driver for Meng Yanchen before leaving.

When Meng Yanchen woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. He walked out and met Ye Zi, who was returning with breakfast. He asked her why he was there, mentioning that the address was on the order. Ye Zi replied that maybe rich people think everyone is trying to harm them. She explained that the previous night, Meng Yanchen refused to get out of the car and go home, saying that he didn't want to return home no matter where he went. Meng Yanchen immediately apologized, saying he really couldn't remember. Ye Zi didn't hold a grudge and asked him to have breakfast before leaving. She bought him toothpaste and a toothbrush, and they had breakfast together.

When Xu Qin woke up, Song Yan had prepared breakfast. She asked if Song Yan had to return to the team on Monday, and he confirmed that was the case but reassured her that he would be able to come back on the same day. Xu Qin teased that the team was quite considerate, and Song Yan mentioned that the locally married firefighters had more time off. At this moment, Meng's mother suddenly called, saying Xu Qin hadn't returned home for over a month. Xu Qin asked if tomorrow would be okay, as she was currently at work, but Meng's mother insisted on talking to the leadership. Xu Qin could only agree and told Song Yan that Meng's mother was urging her to go home that night, so she couldn't come back to stay tonight.

While on a rescue mission, Xu Qin encountered a burning bus. She heard a little girl used a fire hammer to save everyone. It turned out to be Zhai Miao. Zhai Miao called Xu Qin "sister-in-law" and apologized for her past attitude. She hoped to let bygones be bygones and mentioned that although the Meng family had their set of rules, they treated Xu Qin as if she were their biological daughter. Xu Qin noticed that Zhai Miao's clothes were burned and wanted to give her a new one, but Zhai Miao refused, saying she didn't want to trouble Xu Qin and left.

In the office, colleagues were teasing Li Nan and Zhang Dapeng's relationship. Xu Qin, breaking her usual silence, expressed her opinion that at least the process was important.

Episode 28 Recap

Xu Qin declined Song Yan's offer to drive her home. Over the phone, Song Yan told Xu Qin that he would miss her, but Zhai Miao overheard this and teased him, only to be playfully held back by Song Yan. Zhai Miao had come to ask Song Yan to evaluate a set of photos she took from a straight guy's perspective. The photos were of Ye Zi, and after looking at them, Song Yan commented that there was no difference. Zhai Miao called him a "stereotypical straight guy" and asked if Xu Qin had never sent him photos, suggesting that Xu Qin treated him like an outsider. However, Song Yan reminded her that Xu Qin's face belonged to her. Zhai Miao decided to sign a contract with Ye Zi, as she could earn more than 10,000 yuan in a month by promoting products. Song Yan joked with "Aunt" Zhai Miao but then asked her to give him a shoulder massage and leg rub.

When Xu Qin returned home to have dinner with her parents, Fu Wenying noticed that her brother (Song Yan) seemed unhappy and asked Xu Qin to inquire about it. Xu Qin put down her chopsticks and admitted that she had a boyfriend. Fu Wenying asked for how long, and Xu Qin replied it had been over a month. Fu Wenying told her to break up directly. Feeling suffocated, Xu Qin gathered her courage and revealed that her boyfriend was someone she had known for over ten years, and he was none other than Song Yan from before. Fu Wenying was angry and put down her chopsticks, saying she knew there was a problem since Xu Qin hadn't come home for over a month. Both Fu Wenying and Meng Huaijin felt that Song Yan was out of reach and that he could take several decades off to achieve his dreams. They also pointed out that Xu Qin and Song Yan came from different backgrounds and were not suitable for each other. However, Xu Qin was determined to be with Song Yan. Despite their objections, Xu Qin quietly left the house, leaving behind the keys to the house and the car, expressing her gratitude to the Meng family for raising her and promising to come back to be a filial daughter, even if they no longer recognized her as part of the family. Meng Huaijin and Fu Wenying were even more furious, accusing her of giving up her parents and brother for a man. Meng Huaijin said Xu Qin had disappointed him greatly and then went upstairs.

At Song Yan's home, they were about to have dinner when he received a call from Xu Qin. He found her on a bridge, and she said she didn't want to return to that home. So, Song Yan took Xu Qin to his own home. At the doorstep, he gave Xu Qin the keys to the house, one for the main gate and one for his room. Song Yan assured her that "Aunt" knew she wasn't talkative, so she didn't need to try to please his uncle and aunt. Upon returning home, the whole family was waiting for them. "Aunt" had added two more dishes, and Xu Qin felt a warm atmosphere. Zhai Miao suggested that she could return to school earlier and give her room to Xu Qin, but quickly covered her mouth, realizing that she had spoken out of place. "Aunt" prepared two sets of bedding for them, and they went to bed. Song Yan complained of an itch on his back, and Xu Qin helped him scratch it.

Uncle designed a dressing table for Xu Qin, but "Aunt" suggested buying one, afraid that Xu Qin might not like it and it would be difficult to refuse. After seeing the design, they both agreed that it looked good, and Uncle said he would also make one for "Aunt." Xu Qin felt very touched by their consideration.

Song Yan and Xu Qin went together to pick a bed, taking a long time to find one they both liked. However, the delivery would take two weeks, so Song Yan suggested they move it themselves and called the firefighters for help. When the team members saw Xu Qin, they excitedly called her "sister-in-law," and she was very happy.

Episode 29 Recap

When Xu Qin returned home, the family was having dinner, but Song Yan was not there. He had suddenly gone to the fire station. Uncle and Aunt warmly welcomed Xu Qin to join the meal, serving her food and praising the specially made chicken wings for her, which made Xu Qin very happy.

Meng Yanchen was working overtime at the company when he received a message from Ye Zi, saying that he had broken her family's vase last time. After going to a concert together, Meng Yanchen calmly asked if he was the one who broke the vase. Ye Zi felt embarrassed and was about to leave, but Meng Yanchen told her there were too many people outside to get a taxi, so he would take her home. Ye Zi mentioned that the vase was not worth even a tenth of the price of the concert, and Meng Yanchen responded that it had nothing to do with him since he didn't break it. Ye Zi asked why he invited her to the concert in the first place, and Meng Yanchen didn't answer. She then invited him to a live house, but he said he wasn't interested. Ye Zi tried to provoke him, but he saw through her plan and left.

In the car, Ye Zi accidentally saw a photo of Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen together, but she pretended not to have seen it. Ye Zi asked if Meng Yanchen could play any musical instruments, and he said he could play the piano and cello. Ye Zi expressed her envy, saying she didn't have the opportunity to learn when she was young and that people always desire things they haven't had, even if those things are not so good. This comment upset Meng Yanchen, but Ye Zi quickly asked if she had said something wrong, and he replied that she hadn't.

While talking on the phone, Xu Qin was lying on the bed, saying that the house was filled with Song Yan's scent. Song Yan said he was also not used to leaving her alone at home.

The next day, Xu Qin had no car, so she had to run to work. Meng Yanchen stopped his car in front of her and asked her to get in. In the car, Meng Yanchen said his mother had called to tell him that Xu Qin had broken ties with the family because of Song Yan. Xu Qin denied it, saying she would go home to visit her parents. Meng Yanchen coldly sneered that it would be impossible to change his mother's mind. He asked Xu Qin if she had been happy during this period, and she stubbornly replied that she was happy with Song Yan. The atmosphere between them was tense. Upon arriving at their destination, Xu Qin asked Meng Yanchen to talk to her mother on her behalf, but he said it wouldn't work and that he wouldn't help her. Angry, Xu Qin got out of the car and questioned if he found her distress enjoyable. Meng Yanchen retorted, asking what distress he would have when he finally got the person he wanted. On the way home, Meng Yanchen received a message from Xu Qin, in which she expressed her hope that he could be happy and not live so repressed.

Meng Yanchen worked late into the night and then received an invitation from Ye Zi to go out. They chatted in a noisy environment, but Meng Yanchen admitted that he didn't really like such places. They walked by the river, and Meng Yanchen mentioned that he had many insect specimens at home. Ye Zi asked if she could see them, but he said it was his home and she couldn't go. Ye Zi was a bit helpless. She talked about her major, saying she studied biology, but didn't perform well enough to get hired through campus recruitment. Even though she wanted to work in a related field, it was impossible. Ye Zi said she was now making around ten thousand yuan a month, but in this industry, her appearance mattered a lot, and she was considering plastic surgery. She asked Meng Yanchen if he thought she needed it too. They stared at each other for a long time before Meng Yanchen distanced himself from her.

Back at the dorm, Zhai Miao was angry that Ye Zi didn't answer her calls or messages for half a day, feeling like she was the only one caring about their account. Ye Zi kept apologizing and explained that it was too noisy, and she didn't hear anything; it wasn't intentional. Ye Zi said she had quit all those jobs, but Zhai Miao was still upset and ignored her.

At the fire station, Song Yan was training the team members and later sent a video to Suo Jun showing the trophies, telling him that they were all thanks to Suo Jun.

Song Yan and Jiang Yu were playing chess, and they planned to finish the game they had started last time.

Song Yan and Xu Qin were both working hard at their respective positions and could only contact each other through their phones.

In the hospital office, people were speculating whether Xu Qin would be chosen by Director Xu. Some said she had a strong background and the position was reserved for her. At this moment, Dr. Yang said Xu Qin deserved the opportunity because of her hard work during the rescue mission.

Meng Yanchen was in a café, and overheard people discussing how internet celebrities looked more fake the more plastic surgery they got. His mind was in turmoil, and he arranged to have dinner with Ye Zi.

Zhai Miao and Ye Zi were discussing their lack of fans and low data. While choosing clothes, Ye Zi found a concert ticket and realized that Ye Zi had been at a concert that day.

Episode 30 Recap

Meng Yanchen invited Ye Zi to dinner. Coincidentally, a businessman approached Meng Yanchen to discuss a comprehensive service that included signing contracts with internet celebrities, plastic surgery, and loans. Meng Yanchen asked Ye Zi if she thought it could make money, and she felt uncomfortable about it. The man tried to convince Meng Yanchen, but he refused, knowing his father would be angry. This made the man angry too, and he left. Ye Zi felt that Meng Yanchen was reminding her of something, but he denied it. She told him she wouldn't get plastic surgery.

As they were about to eat, Meng Yanchen received a message from Xu Qin, asking him to bring medicine to her parents. He told Ye Zi he had an urgent matter to attend to and tried to leave, but Ye Zi tried to stop him without success. Meng Yanchen went to the hospital to get the medicine and asked Xu Qin how she was getting to work without a car. Xu Qin said she would take the subway, but Meng Yanchen knew that Song Yan's house was quite far from the subway station. Xu Qin replied that she was learning to ride a bike now, even in such cold weather, claiming she wasn't afraid of the cold because she had a hat, scarf, and gloves. Meng Yanchen felt helpless and told her to inform him if she had any difficulties.

When Meng Yanchen returned home with the medicine, his mother was arranging flowers. He left the medicine on the table and was about to go upstairs but changed his mind and attempted to persuade his mother, saying Xu Qin was an adult and had her own desired life, so maybe they should just let her be. His mother asked if he was talking about Xu Qin or himself. She explained that as a mother, she had a long-term perspective and believed that Xu Qin would eventually see the true colors of that family and come back. She had patience.

Meng Yanchen's mother took Xu Qin to the mall for shopping, treating her to the services of high-end stores to show her the gap between their lives. Before leaving, she warned Xu Qin that she wouldn't be swayed by pity. At that moment, Song Yan and Zhai Miao happened to be at the mall too. Song Yan bought donuts and had Zhai Miao deliver them to Xu Qin, and he also bought a lot of lipsticks. When they reached the mall's entrance, Meng Yanchen's mother called for the driver to pick up her brother and arranged for Han Yan to take them home. Unexpectedly, they ran into Song Yan and Zhai Miao at the entrance. Zhai Miao called Xu Qin "sister-in-law," and Meng Yanchen's mother quickly explained that Xu Qin didn't have a boyfriend, that she was just a child who didn't know any better and that they had already broken up. Zhai Miao asked if it was true, and Xu Qin walked over to Song Yan and publicly confessed her feelings for him. Song Yan held Xu Qin tightly and told Meng Yanchen's mother that he would visit another day. Xu Qin said it was too late to go home that night, and Meng Yanchen's mother was very angry and didn't want to say anything. She got into the car and left. Song Yan hugged Xu Qin tightly, and Zhai Miao felt awkward.

At the fire station, they received an emergency call. Song Yan asked the person in charge and was told that there were no flammable materials, only wooden boards were burning. The team members used water guns to control the fire. Jiang Yu opened a door but was pushed downstairs by a sudden burst of flames. Song Yan was worried and kept calling Jiang Yu's name until he regained consciousness. Song Yan questioned the person in charge and learned that there were also paint and flammable materials in the warehouse.

That night, Jiang Yu and Song Yan had a heart-to-heart talk, and Jiang Yu admitted he was scared. When Jiang Yu's mother found out, she said she couldn't sleep at night because of worry. At first, Jiang Yu's father was against it too, but he thought they couldn't give up halfway. They reminded Jiang Yu to be careful of safety.

Dr. Yang treated Li Rong and informed her family that she needed immediate rescue. There was a 50% chance of survival, but they needed to sign a surgery consent form. Li Rong's husband and mother-in-law were aware that the rescue would cost tens of thousands of yuan and might not be successful. It wasn't until Li Rong's brother arrived that they finally signed the consent form for the surgery. Unfortunately, the rescue was unsuccessful, and Dr. Yang felt sad and sat on the ground. Li Rong's mother-in-law and husband staged a hospital protest on the rooftop, blaming Dr. Yang for Li Rong's death and demanding compensation from the hospital.

Episode 31 Recap

The mother and son caused trouble on the rooftop, demanding the hospital to compensate them for their daughter-in-law's life. The hospital tried to appease them, while the police and firefighters cooperated. Xu Qin appeared and was confident that those two wouldn't jump. The hospital would never give them money, which meant that Dr. Yang's life would be tainted, and her life should not be ruined by such people. She criticized the man for lacking money and ability, yet still trying to extort money using his deceased wife. Xu Qin's actions were reprimanded by the vice president. Though she had good intentions, as a doctor, her behavior, and the remarks she made could cause damage to her reputation once they were posted online. The vice president decided not to punish Xu Qin but advised her to handle things more discreetly.

Jiang Yu's family found out about the incident and insisted that he change his job. Jiang Yu was distressed; although he had already decided not to leave, he pretended to be troubled in front of Song Yan, just to hear him say, "I also need you." That night, Uncle and Aunt specially welcomed Xu Qin at the alley entrance to make her feel less scared. They even cooked her favorite dumplings. Xu Qin told them she had seen Song Yan that day. Yesterday, they encountered an explosion during a mission. Though Song Yan was fine, she was still frightened. Uncle and Aunt assured her that Song Yan knew how to protect himself. Xu Qin asked them why Song Yan chose to be a firefighter. Uncle found it hard to explain and only said that he had volunteered because he couldn't be promoted in the military for some reasons. Aunt wanted to defend Song Yan, but Uncle asked her to rest and advised her not to interfere in their affairs and let the kids handle it themselves.

Xu Qin couldn't sleep peacefully and had a nightmare. Song Yan called her, saying he had two days off this week, and Xu Qin had already rearranged her schedule to have the weekend free. Xu Qin felt wronged and really missed Song Yan.

Jiang Yu watched the video of Song Yan rescuing him repeatedly and was deeply moved to the verge of tears. Li Nan was curious about why Xu Qin, as a firefighter's family member, remained so calm. Only Xu Qin knew that she couldn't truly be calm. At the factory poisoning incident, three workers were poisoned and sent to the hospital. It was an extremely challenging task for Song Yan and the team. Song Yan, fully protected, entered the scene to close the gas valve quickly. After closing it, the toxicity decreased. Just as Song Yan and Yang Chi were planning to retreat, they discovered a valve was still leaking. They used wrenches to fix it.

None of the three workers with hydrogen cyanide poisoning survived. Xu Qin was unaware of this. At this moment, Song Yan faced a dangerous situation as well. When he took off his protective suit, he passed out because it had ruptured. He was rushed to the hospital for rescue. Xu Qin saw her beloved lying on the hospital bed, but she had to remain strong and save others. When Song Yan temporarily recovered, Xu Qin finally let go of her worries and cried in relief. Although Song Yan was okay, Xu Qin was angry. She only wanted Song Yan to be safe and asked him if he had considered changing jobs. She felt she was not noble or understanding, just a selfish person who didn't want Song Yan to be a hero.

The rest of the firefighters were also worried about Song Yan. Yang Chi and Xi Xi were together, despite her family's disapproval. Seeing them made Xi Xi cry for a long time due to worries and fear for his work. Xu Qin didn't cry, but her heart and mind were full of concern. When Song Yan returned home, Uncle and Aunt were worried about his low spirits. Song Yan felt useless, and they were also concerned that Xu Qin might be abandoned again. The topic shifted to his mother, and upon hearing that, Song Yan ran away. Uncle knew that his emotional wounds were still present.

Song Yan went to the alley entrance to pick up Xu Qin. She was burdened with worries, but seeing him, she still felt warmth.

Episode 32 Recap

Song Yan said he wanted to take Xu Qin to eat something, but Xu Qin had already drunk a bottle of beer herself. Song Yan wrapped a scarf around her and opened another bottle for her. Xu Qin's face turned rosy, and she asked him why he liked his current job. Was it because it was noble? But Song Yan never thought about whether it was noble or not; once he did something, he wanted to do it well. Xu Qin leaned against his shoulder and still felt that living in Song Yan's home was great. Uncle, Aunt, and Zhai Miao were all wonderful; Xu Qin liked them and understood that they treated her well because of Song Yan. If one day, Song Yan was really gone, then Xu Qin would have no connection with them anymore; she would be alone. Xu Qin had even thought that if something happened to Song Yan, she would follow him. Worried, Song Yan quickly got up and embraced Xu Qin, then told her he might request a job transfer. Xu Qin felt relieved and hugged him tightly with a bit of grievance.

Song Yan carried Xu Qin back home, and she fell asleep in a daze. Song Yan fetched water and a towel to carefully wipe her face, hands, and feet. Xu Qin woke up soon after, and Song Yan talked to her about their fantasies of the future, both full of longing for it.

The next day, it was snowing heavily. Uncle and Aunt were relieved to know that Song Yan and Xu Qin had not quarreled. They soon heard Xu Qin's cheers as she pulled Song Yan outside to see the snow. Song Yan took Xu Qin to Wufang Street, a place that meant a lot to her. They bought some fish to keep the family fish company, making their days heartwarming.

The Lunar New Year was approaching, and Xu Qin prepared for it with Uncle, Aunt, and Zhai Miao—posting spring couplets, hanging door gods, and making dumplings. The fire station was also filled with a New Year atmosphere. Everyone wore their uniforms while eating dumplings. For them, the New Year was also a difficult time.

Xu Qin spent the New Year with Uncle, Aunt, and Zhai Miao, feeling the warmth while eating dumplings. On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yi returned home, and his mother was overjoyed and kept praising him. The fire station received an emergency call again. An elderly lady living alone couldn't open her door. They helped her open it and even helped her put up spring couplets. The grandma kept giving them fruits and candies. Song Yan couldn't refuse her kindness and peeled an orange to share with everyone.

At the Meng family's New Year's Eve dinner, it was still elegant and cold. Xu Qin's bowl and chopsticks were placed on the table as well. When Song Yan came back, he saw Xu Qin sleeping on the sofa, saying she was keeping vigil. He knew she missed home, so he decided to accompany her back to see her family; after all, it was a big day. They all knew about Meng Mother's temper, so Song Yan didn't go in; he just escorted Xu Qin to the door. Meng Mother ignored her and treated her with indifference. Meng Yanchen quickly pulled Xu Qin away, suggesting they play tennis. Meng Yanchen only cared about whether Song Yan treated her well and if she had been bullied. If someone bullied her, Meng Yanchen hoped Xu Qin would tell him, or if she didn't want to say it, she could tell Xiao Xiao. Grandpa Xiao had asked Xu Qin this question once before; he knew that Xu Qin and Song Yan would eventually be together. Xu Qin couldn't rest easy, asking where Song Yan was, and he replied that he was in the museum, telling her to rest assured.

Episode 33 Recap

Meng Yanchen's friends all arrived, and Xu Qin happened to hear them saying that they saw Song Yan outside, as if he was waiting for Xu Qin. Xu Qin panicked and told Meng's mother that she had to leave first, but Meng's mother wouldn't allow it, insisting that she sit down and finish the meal before leaving. Xu Qin clenched her fists but ultimately didn't listen to her and rushed into Song Yan's embrace. Song Yan's hands were very cold, and Xu Qin worriedly told him to go back quickly, holding his hand all the way without letting go.

Meng's mother was very angry today because Meng Yanchen helped Xu Qin. She asked him if he wanted to rebel against his parents. However, Meng Yanchen wished he could rebel, wished that his family had never adopted Xu Qin, and wished he had never been their child. Song Yan talked to the director about the transfer, and the director was even happier than him about the upcoming marriage, asking him to bring some wedding candy when the time comes. In a while, Xu Qin will return to the outpatient department, but because of what Xu Qin said on the rooftop last time, the hospital leadership felt that her words were detrimental to the hospital's image. However, Xu Qin knew very well that it was Meng's mother's doing, after all, that incident had resolved troubles for the hospital without any waves.

Everyone was surprised to hear that Song Yan was going to be transferred, but Jiang Yu was happy for him. Actually, he hoped Song Yan, who loved Shili Terrace so much, wouldn't leave, but considering his abilities, he should go to a place where his skills would be even more useful.

Director Xu used to dislike Xu Qin, but this time, she insisted on having Xu Qin join the research group because she was the most qualified person. Xu Qin accidentally overheard the truth that the vice dean was the one preventing her from joining the research group. In anger, Xu Qin sent a message to Meng's mother, asking her if she was interfering in her work and hoped she would stop doing so, as she entered the hospital based on her own abilities.

Zhan Dapeng suddenly dressed up and said he was going to watch a movie, and everyone immediately guessed that he was going on a date. Zhan Dapeng nervously went to the hospital to find Li Nan, but Li Nan was feeling conflicted.

Xiao Ge went to see his girlfriend, leaving behind a group of single firefighters feeling speechless. Li Nan rejected Zhan Dapeng, saying he had something to deal with at home. However, Zhan Dapeng didn't give up. Li Nan had to be honest with him, saying they shouldn't see each other again in the future because they were not suitable. Li Nan was much older than him, and Zhan Dapeng's parents would not agree. Zhan Dapeng was eager to prove that age wasn't a problem, and his sincerity touched Li Nan, who agreed to reconsider.

A celebration for the completion of a project set off fireworks, but accidentally, one of the fireworks landed in someone's house, causing a fire. The fire spread rapidly, and the Shili Terrace Fire Station was immediately dispatched. Song Yan led Yang Chi, Jiang Yi, and Zhan Dapeng to rescue people on the upper floor. The fire was intense, and the situation of those trapped was perilous. Song Yan realized the presence of a backdraft and ordered everyone to retreat, but it was too late. Faced with the raging fire, Zhan Dapeng was also engulfed. After discovering that Zhan Dapeng was missing, Song Yan went to look for him. When he found him, Zhan Dapeng's helmet had been blown off, and he was trapped under debris, covered in blood. After sending Zhan Dapeng to the ambulance, everyone was deeply worried but had to quickly return to their positions to continue firefighting.

Jiang Yi accompanied Zhan Dapeng to the hospital, and Xu Qin, at home, was shocked to see the news about a firefighter getting injured. After the fire was extinguished, Song Yan and the others immediately rushed to the hospital. Dr. Yang said the injuries were severe, and they had used all available means of rescue. Shivering, they walked in; Zhan Dapeng's body was covered with a white cloth, and everyone couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow. Li Nan got the news and hurriedly rushed over, crying uncontrollably as well.

Episode 34 Recap

Zhan Dapeng didn't leave any words behind; he couldn't bear the pain as he was rushed to the ambulance, constantly crying out in pain. The men who had just come down from the fire scene were crying uncontrollably, and Song Yan couldn't control himself either. He said he might not be able to fulfill his promise to Xu Qin; no matter what, he couldn't let Zhan Dapeng die in vain. Song Yan couldn't do what he promised Xu Qin; this was the life they shared together.

Song Yan returned to the accident scene, and the thought of Zhan Dapeng being injured and sacrificing his life here made his heart ache even more. After investigating, Song Yan found out that this wasn't an accident. Jiang Yu told him that the building belonged to Guokun Group, which was Meng's family. The news about the illegal fireworks display had spread online, and coupled with their investigation report, the Meng family was in big trouble.

At this moment, Meng's father and mother were still calm. Meng's mother found it suspicious and felt that Old Gu shouldn't make mistakes on this matter. People from Guokun Group came to the ICU and insisted on confirming with the patient. They even brought out Vice Dean Liu, but Xu Qin drove them out. Xu Qin only then learned that the construction site where the fire started belonged to Guokun Group.

Song Yan and Jiang Yu handed the letter Zhan Dapeng left to his parents. The letter mentioned his dating news and that he wanted to bring her home. The parents looked at the letter with extreme sadness; they knew that their son must have been in pain in his final moments.

Because of Zhan Dapeng's death, the atmosphere at Shili Terrace had been heavy recently, especially seeing the online comments defaming firefighters. Yang Chi and others were angry, and Jiang Yu could only try to appease everyone's emotions. Jiang Yu also received many calls, asking them not to meddle and not to mention the firefighting materials issue. But Jiang Yu and Song Yan had no intention of backing down; they had already started writing a report. However, Song Yan was very worried about Xu Qin; he feared that he owed Xu Qin.

After Zhan Dapeng's death, Li Nan regretted it; he regretted whether everything would have been different if he had gone to the movie and had dinner with him. How come it had to be his last year? Song Yan hurriedly went to see Xu Qin and told her about the fire incident, which had unfavorable consequences for Guokun Group. Xu Qin said she never interfered in her family's business and supported Song Yan sticking to his principles, but she also had a bit of selfishness, wondering if Song Yan would betray his principles because of her. But with Zhan Dapeng sacrificing himself at such a young age, if Song Yan turned a blind eye, he wouldn't be the Song Yan that Xu Qin liked. Xu Qin didn't dare to think about how her family and Song Yan would fare; she could only comfort herself that the future would get better, it must get better.

Song Yan and Jiang Yu went to see Gao, the head of the Fire Brigade, but someone had already informed him. Gao was not a coward, so he avoided meeting them to avoid suspicion. He only asked Li Gong to tell them that he supported their actions. Before the meeting, someone specifically reminded Song Yan not to meddle, as the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Song Yan still truthfully reported the investigation results and was determined to seek justice for Zhan Dapeng.

People from Guokun Group locked the patient's room, but Xu Qin arrived, and they left immediately. The nurse overheard them talking about compensation money, but obviously, the family had been bribed. Xu Qin went to Meng's family, and it was at this moment that Meng's mother received a call, and Meng's father was taken away for investigation. Meng's mother was angry because of Song Yan's instigation, and Meng Yanchen stood up for Xu Qin; after all, three lives were at stake.

Meng's mother found out the truth; it was all Zhao Chengxin's fault. The most critical issue now was the materials. Meng's mother told someone to remind Secretary Wang; each person should handle their own problems. Someone found Song Yan and said they wanted to give him some evidence. Song Yan said he could report it directly to the brigade. But the person was worried about being followed, so they quickly threw the evidence to Song Yan and ran off.

Episode 35 Recap

Song Yan handed over a large package of RMB that someone had thrown over to Director Yu. This was a deliberate attempt to frame and set him up. Today, the investigation team went to the construction site and said that the on-site materials fully met the standards. There must be more to this than meets the eye. The victim's family received the compensation, gave their fingerprints, but refused to cooperate with the examination and wanted to leave the hospital. However, Xu Qin told them that the situation of the family was serious and whether they should undergo the examination was their own decision.

The team decided to temporarily suspend Song Yan from duty, and everyone was angry, demanding that Song Yan be suspended along with them. Song Yan decided to comply with the order, and when he returned home, Zhai Miao was also unhappy, believing that it must have been done by the Meng family. Back when Song Yan was in the army, he got a promotion opportunity, but there were problems during the medical examination. Now, it seems to be the same tactics being used again, and the similarity is astonishing. Song Yan hoped that Zhai Miao wouldn't bring up past matters; this incident had no direct connection with the Meng family, and there was no reason for them to harm themselves. He was certain that there would be a fair outcome to this.

In the middle of the night, Xu Qin found Song Yan missing from her side and discovered him drinking on the rooftop. Song Yan told her that he had been suspended, and Xu Qin couldn't help but suspect the involvement of the Meng family. With Song Yan off work and Zhang Dapeng sacrificing himself, everyone was in a bad mood. Pippi mentioned that he kept dreaming of Zhang Dapeng, even outrunning Song Yan, wondering why he couldn't outrun the fire.

Xu Qin asked Song Yan if he had thought about changing jobs, but Song Yan hadn't considered it. Being a firefighter was no longer just a profession but half of his life. Xu Qin hoped he would go to the support team soon, work nine to five, and stay safe. The compensation money had all been used up, but they were still short of over twenty thousand. When Li Dalong's family heard this, they were devastated. The hush money given by Guo Kun was simply not enough. Just as she was about to leave the hospital, someone helped them with the medical expenses, and that person turned out to be Xu Qin. Li Dalong's family was shocked to learn that the firefighter who saved him had died, and Li Nan looked sad beside them. Finally, Li Dalong's family found Xu Qin and said there was something they wanted to tell her.

Someone wanted to take away the non-compliant materials, but the police arrived in time, and those involved were taken away. Song Yan's situation was also clarified. He had only one request, and that was for the organization to take good care of Zhang Dapeng's parents. Yang Chi and the others went to the hospital for follow-up treatment, leaving Li Nan feeling very down. After work, he took two movie tickets and went to watch a film, feeling as though Zhang Dapeng was still by his side. However, as he watched the movie, Li Nan shed silent tears.

Meng's mother believed that this whole situation was incited by Song Yan; he had no feelings for their family. However, Meng Yanchen felt that it was Song Yan's responsibility. The company didn't suffer any harm; it was just that Lao Gu didn't manage his subordinates well. Meng's mother became even more anxious and wanted Meng Yanchen to take over the company as soon as possible. Xu Qin was torn and called Meng's father, worrying about the impact of this incident on him.

Song Yan had two choices: to transfer to the support team or to establish the Tenli Tai Fire and Rescue Special Service Station. Without hesitation, Song Yan chose to stay at Tenli Tai and face this challenge. Today marks the thirtieth anniversary of the establishment of the Tenli Tai Fire and Rescue Station. They were awarded the title of "Defenders of Yancheng," which was both a military medal and a military oath.

Xu Qin thought Song Yan would go to the support team, but he decided to stay at Tenli Tai, which made Xu Qin angry. She then raised many questions, wanting to know the truth or an explanation. However, Song Yan couldn't explain and only hoped that she would believe him. The two of them argued and had a big fight.

Episode 36 Recap

Xu Qin ran to stay at Dr. Yang's house; they weren't very close friends, but Xu Qin had nowhere else to go. Dr. Yang quickly accepted her. Song Yan kept calling, but Xu Qin chose to refuse his calls. Suo Jun hadn't seen Xu Qin recently, and Meng Yanchen didn't know what he was up to either. Suo Jun knew that Meng Yanchen was taking Ye Zi out for a meal, and he supported Meng Yanchen starting a new life, but not with Ye Zi. Meng Yanchen knew this, he just didn't want Ye Zi to go down the wrong path; after all, Ye Zi had nothing to do with him.

Meng Yanchen hadn't replied to any messages, and Ye Zi was frustrated. Zhai Miao and Ye Zi's income had been decreasing, but Ye Zi didn't care about it at all. Zhai Miao's back was hurting, and Ye Zi accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. Xu Qin said it was nothing serious and prescribed some medicine. While helping her get the medicine, Ye Zi saw the scene where Meng Yanchen was delivering food to Xu Qin. Meng Yanchen hoped that Xu Qin wouldn't accommodate Song Yan too much and sacrifice herself. Xu Qin didn't know what to say. After Xu Qin left, Ye Zi immediately approached Meng Yanchen and offered to treat him to a meal, but Meng Yanchen coldly refused.

Song Yan went to ask Xiaoge how to appease a girlfriend, and Yang Chi and Jiang Yu were gossiping and teasing him, saying that apologizing to Xu Qin would solve everything. Song Yan sent a message asking Xu Qin if she had eaten, and Xu Qin replied that she had. Song Yan felt relieved and hurriedly told her to eat more. This made Xu Qin even angrier.

Dr. Yang encountered a patient who was emotionally disturbed and insisted on having her prescribe painkillers. The patient even took out a knife and threatened her, and Xu Qin stepped forward and got cut on her hand. Director Xu thought she was irresponsible, especially since hands were crucial for a surgeon. He told Xu Qin to take a few days off to rest, and she would return during the evaluation of the research group. Xu Qin was happy, knowing that Director Xu had helped her.

Xiao Xiao went to the hospital to pick up Xu Qin, who was sulking and didn't speak much. Xu Qin felt that Song Yan was hiding something from her; he didn't mention anything about the past, and although Xu Qin wasn't desperate to know, she felt his attitude was off. Xiao Xiao sensed that Xu Qin was uneasy; she had given up everything to be with Song Yan, but his attitude frightened her. Xiao Xiao dropped Xu Qin off at Dr. Yang's place and added her on WeChat, saying she would keep an eye on Xu Qin's situation.

Yang Chi heard from Xu Xi that Xu Qin was injured and quickly informed Song Yan. Song Yan was scared and immediately called Xu Qin to confirm that they hadn't broken up. Xu Qin left a message saying that they were still together despite the argument and hung up. Song Yan quickly found Dr. Yang's house and brought her cake, milk tea, and fried chicken, urging her to go home and sincerely apologizing. However, Song Yan didn't plan to be honest about his past, and Xu Qin was deeply troubled and couldn't forgive him. For Song Yan, Xu Qin's concerns were all related to her family, and he couldn't tell her the truth. He had once earned a second-class merit, and he was about to be promoted, but after recovering from the injury, he went to see his father. As a result, he got into an argument with Lao Hu and hit him in anger. However, it was a trap set by someone else, and Song Yan was framed for assault, leading him to leave the military and join the fire department. He joined the Tenli Tai Fire Station, determined to stand proudly in front of Xu Qin.

These days, Xu Qin hadn't gone home, and her aunt and uncle, as well as Zhai Miao, thought that Song Yan had angered her. Zhai Miao went to the hospital and made peace between them. Xu Qin wasn't being unreasonable; she just felt that Song Yan wasn't being open and honest with her. Xu Qin was provoked by Zhai Miao and finally revealed the truth. Meng's mother had bribed a doctor in the past, causing Song Yan's medical examination to have problems. Her uncle even went to beg Meng's mother on his knees. But in the end, Song Yan didn't get a chance for reexamination. Later, Song Yan joined the special forces, finally earning a chance for promotion, but someone made a false report that ruined it all. That's why he became a firefighter. Xu Qin couldn't accept the truth for a while and cried for a long time in despair.

After work, Xu Qin left the hospital, filled with anger.

Episode 37 Recap

Xu Qin returned to Meng's house in a fit of anger and questioned Meng's mother if she was the one behind all of Song Yan's misfortunes. Meng's mother casually admitted to it without even offering an apology. This made Xu Qin even more devastated. Song Yan was the person she loved, and she had always treated Meng's mother as her own. Xu Qin felt heartbroken, realizing that she was just a tool used by Meng's family for political alliance purposes. Despite not being a perfect mother, Meng's mother argued that Xu Qin wasn't a perfect daughter either. Xu Qin, however, countered by saying she had always followed the rules and never gave Meng's mother a reason to be disappointed. Instead, it was Meng's mother who callously ruined someone's life and future. Xu Qin decided to cut ties with Meng's family and implored Meng's mother not to harm Song Yan anymore, even willing to die for him. Before leaving, Xu Qin angrily shattered the family photo, and Meng Yanchen witnessed everything, feeling conflicted.

Meng's mother wiped away her tears and stopped Meng Yanchen, who was about to leave. Meng Yanchen was also disappointed in his mother. Despite teaching themselves to be upright gentlemen, they ended up doing such things. For so many years, Meng Yanchen felt like he was barely surviving, but his mother never noticed. Meng's mother didn't regret her decisions for the sake of her children and the family. While Meng's father opposed Xu Qin and Song Yan being together, he questioned why they should ruin Song Yan's life further.

In episode 37 of "My Worldly Fireworks," Xu Qin returned to Song's house and reconciled with Song Yan. She couldn't imagine how Song Yan had endured all these years. She regretted arguing with him and being willful. Seeing the two reconcile, Uncle and Aunt felt relieved. Meng Yanchen went to a bar to drink, and his colleague informed Ye Zi about it. Ye Zi rushed to the bar and found Meng Yanchen drunk and slumped on the couch. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and mistook Ye Zi for Xu Qin. Mocking her, he pointed out that Ye Zi and Xu Qin may look similar, but they were entirely different people. Feeling hurt, Ye Zi wondered if he really had to treat her this way, especially when she genuinely liked him. Meng Yanchen saw it as irony, believing he could see through Ye Zi's thoughts and wouldn't be fooled easily. He drove Ye Zi away, considering her not worth his time. Ye Zi left in despair, crying for a long time before becoming resolute about something.

Ye Zi returned to the room where Meng Yanchen was asleep due to drinking. Meng's mother felt uneasy as she had never seen Meng Yanchen like this before. She called, and Ye Zi answered the phone, her voice trembling with sobs. Hearing this, Meng's parents became anxious. Ye Zi called her class leader for help, claiming that she was being bullied. Meng's parents quickly got a lawyer involved, and Ye Zi demanded five million yuan for silence, but Meng Yanchen stopped her, warning that she would end up in jail if she attempted extortion. Although falsely accused, Meng Yanchen was not afraid; he was just drunk, not foolish. Ye Zi threatened to call the police, but Meng Yanchen remained indifferent.

Meng's father received a call about Meng Yanchen being taken away by the police. He and Meng's mother hurriedly went to the scene and were surprised to learn that Meng Yanchen didn't deny the accusations. Xu Qin learned about Meng Yanchen's situation from Xiao Xiao and rushed to him with Song Yan. Xu Qin asked Attorney Guo to tell Meng Yanchen to come home and resolve the matter. Rumors were circulating on the internet, and Xiao Xiao was looking for evidence urgently. However, Meng Yanchen remained tight-lipped. In fact, the person seen near the private room was Zhai Miao, who was currently struggling with her conscience. After watching the surveillance footage, Song Yan recognized her and quickly returned home, hoping she could provide evidence as the situation was critical, and Meng Yanchen's future was at stake.

But Zhai Miao was caught in a dilemma; she was accepted into a prestigious university, but her scores were sabotaged, forcing her to attend a lesser university like Yan University. Could Song Yan really be indifferent? His best years were ruined, and everything he worked so hard for was destroyed. Let's not forget how Uncle pleaded with Meng's mother back then.

Episode 38 Recap

Song Yan, although unwilling, knew that time couldn't be reversed. He didn't forgive, but he didn't want to live his life in resentment. Song Yan is doing well now and will continue to do better. Zhai Miao agreed to hand over the evidence but asked Song Yan not to interfere with her actions until then. Xiao Xiao found a witness and had video evidence. When Meng's mother offered to pay any amount, she was surprised that the person didn't want money. Meng's mother and father went to Zhai Miao's house to apologize and compensate, but Meng's mother still maintained a condescending attitude.

She claimed that Meng Yanchen was a good kid and was falsely accused by Zhai Miao's classmate of being a rapist. As a mother, she hoped Zhai Miao would understand. But how could Zhai Miao not understand? They experienced it deeply when Song Yan was falsely accused. Zhai Miao's father had kneeled to beg for forgiveness from Meng's mother, and if she truly wanted to apologize, Zhai Miao wanted her to take it back. Although Zhai Miao was young, she represented her brother and her family, and that was not a small matter.

Meng's mother clenched her teeth but decided to kneel for her son. Despite Meng's father's attempts to stop her and kneel in her place, Meng's mother insisted on doing it herself. As she saw her mother's knees bending, Zhai Miao stopped her, hoping that Meng's mother would take appropriate responsibility so her child wouldn't have to bear the burden. Meng's mother obtained the evidence, and Meng Yanchen was released. Seeing her son emotionally distressed, Meng's mother felt disappointed and decided to set her children free.

In episode 38 of "My Worldly Fireworks," Ye Zi was quickly arrested, and her classmates were angry when they learned that her kindness was taken advantage of. They could only return to school with suppressed anger. Meng Yanchen said he had something to deal with and asked Xu Qin to go back first. He decided to give up pursuing criminal charges against her and seek reconciliation. Xu Qin was relieved and, after leaving the police station, rushed into Song Yan's embrace. Meng Yanchen met Ye Zi and told her that she didn't need to resort to extortion for money. Ye Zi was furious, wondering why Meng Yanchen bothered with her when he clearly didn't like her. But everything Meng Yanchen did was only because he didn't want her to go down the wrong path and wished her well in life. Ye Zi was remorseful; she once lived in darkness, but now a ray of light had entered her life, and she wanted to get closer to it.

Vice Dean Liu was taken away for illegal activities, and after Meng's mother turned herself in, she was released on bail pending trial but sent to the hospital. Xu Qin secretly came but lacked the courage to go inside. Meng's mother still refused to accept Song Yan, but Meng's father felt they wouldn't separate. He understood that the events of these years were not solely Meng's mother's fault, and he didn't want her to be trapped in resentment alone. Xu Qin was worried about Meng Yanchen. If it weren't for the eyewitness, his life would have been ruined. Meng Yanchen understood why Xu Qin chose to stay with Song Yan all these years. It was because he was resolute and stood by Xu Qin's side despite everything.

Ye Zi returned to her room to pack her things; she had been expelled and was scolded by her roommates in a strange manner. Zhai Miao and Ye Zi's public account was also ruined, but Ye Zi was glad that she spoke up; otherwise, she might never have a chance to turn things around. Meng's father hoped Xu Qin would find some time to visit Meng's mother. If Xu Qin had been the one in trouble, he believed she would do the same. However, Xu Qin couldn't get past what happened with Song Yan. His inability to tolerate humiliation was the reason he kept it to himself. Meng's family had many competitors. After dinner, Xu Qin saw Meng's father with white hair and felt emotionally conflicted.

Xu Qin originally intended to visit Meng's mother but learned she had been discharged from the hospital at noon. Uncle's house was scheduled for demolition, and everyone was busy packing. Song Yan prepared a new house, wanting to surprise Xu Qin. Jiang Yu gave a potted plant to Li Gong and shyly left. When Song Yan carried Xu Qin on his back and reached the doorstep, they ran into Meng's father. Uncle, Aunt, and Zhai Miao were surprised but politely invited him to stay for dinner.

Episode 39 Recap

Meng's father came to Song's house, and Uncle and Aunt generously invited him to have a meal together. Meng's father came today to discuss matters concerning the two children. He knew there was no way to separate Song Yan and Xu Qin, so he had to agree. Regardless, he still hoped that Xu Qin could be happy. After finishing the meal, Meng's father asked Song Yan to accompany him outside as he had a few things to say. Xu Qin felt that Song Yan and Zhai Miao seemed to have some secrets they were hiding from her, but Song Yan quickly changed the subject. The next day, Song Yan took Xu Qin to see a house. Wufang Street was going to be demolished, so they needed to rent a new place. Xu Qin really liked this cozy house, especially the rooftop with a small garden, which she adored. However, she didn't expect that the landlady mentioned by Song Yan was actually Xu Qin herself. The house was prepared by Song Yan, and he decorated it with great care. Xu Qin was deeply moved. Song Yan knelt down and presented the engagement ring he had prepared, expressing his willingness to protect Xu Qin just like he guarded the city. Xu Qin extended her hand and accepted Song Yan's proposal.

On the second day, everyone noticed Xu Qin's diamond ring and gathered around her, gossiping. Soon, the firefighters also got wind of the news, and Song Yan and Xu Qin were immersed in happiness. Song Yan held Xu Qin's hand and brought her to the fire station to receive everyone's blessings, surrounded by joyous cheers.

Song Yan and Xu Qin were going to have their wedding, and both of them were busy with preparations. They had to rely on Zhai Miao and Uncle and Aunt to help them out, even for trying on wedding dresses, which Zhai Miao had to assist Xu Qin with. Zhai Miao was exhausted from trying on so many dresses, but she wasn't the bride, so she had to wait for Xu Qin's final decision. Lately, Meng Yanchen had been sleeping at home most of the time, but when Xu Qin saw him again, he seemed much better. Meng Yanchen gave Xu Qin a wedding gift and informed her that he was going to enter Guokun Group. With her family supporting her after the wedding, Xu Qin felt fortunate and considered Meng Yanchen as a lifelong relative.

Zhai Miao and Xu Qin discussed wedding matters together, but when Song Yan returned, Zhai Miao tactfully left. Knowing that Xu Qin didn't want a wedding in a hotel, Song Yan planned to have it at the fire station, and Xu Qin readily agreed. Meng Yanchen officially took over Guokun Group, and as time passed, Song Yan and Xu Qin's wedding date approached. Zhai Miao arranged for someone to take wedding photos, but Song Yan and Xu Qin were late, causing her to worry. Finally, Song Yan appeared, leading Xu Qin, who was wearing a wedding dress. Their eyes met, just like in the past, capturing happiness forever in that moment.

Typhoon Narcissus was about to make landfall, and all personnel canceled their vacations and entered a level-one state of alert. The firefighters had to work tirelessly to protect the people of Yancheng and safeguard the city. Due to the extreme weather conditions caused by the typhoon, there were many injured people, and both Xu Qin and Song Yan were busy with rescue efforts on the front line. Meng Yanchen helped a distressed couple get to the hospital, and many kind-hearted people appeared in such weather. Meng Yanchen unexpectedly encountered Ye Zi, who was directing people to avoid the open manholes in the road.

Episode 40 (Ending) Recap

Ye Zi stopped the vehicles on the road and directed them to avoid the manhole covers that had fallen off. A passing uncle helped her, and after thanking him, Ye Zi hadn't left when the uncle got trapped under a truck. A fire engine passed by, and Song Yan and the team promptly rescued the uncle. They used the fire engine to clear the way and rushed the uncle to the hospital. In the tunnel, there was a collapse, and Meng Yanchen's mother and the driver, Lao Wu, were trapped in their car. Everyone tried to move forward, but Meng Yanchen's mother couldn't get out of the car at all. The command center received an emergency call, and Ten-Mile Platform was nearby, so they quickly set off to rescue them. Meng Yanchen's mother desperately tapped on the car window to send a distress signal. The firefighters were busy rescuing others and thought everyone had been evacuated. However, Song Yan keenly noticed the last trapped person in the car. When he broke open the window and saw it was Meng Yanchen's mother, he was stunned for a moment but still reached out to rescue her. After seeing Song Yan's face clearly, Meng Yanchen's mother was also surprised. They all safely evacuated to the bus, and Meng Yanchen told everyone that the firefighter who had saved them was her daughter's boyfriend.

As the typhoon ended, the city reconstruction gradually began. The rescued uncle, Zhao Qianjin, woke up. Xu Qin was relieved and quickly informed Song Yan about this news.
