Sang Zhi opened the gift sent by Duan Jiaxu, which was a camera. Inside, there was a selfie of Duan Jiaxu's collarbone. Sang Zhi commented that Duan Jiaxu was shameless for sending such a photo and even messaged her to ask if she liked it. Sang Zhi said she couldn't see the photo clearly, and Duan Jiaxu said that if she agreed, he would immediately send a high-definition picture. Sang Zhi defined him as a cunning old man. After saying goodnight, Sang Zhi changed Duan Jiaxu's nickname from "Big Brother No. 2" to "Suitor". Sang Yan sent a red envelope, and Sang Zhi told him that she might be starting a romantic relationship and that he was a bit older. Sang Yan immediately became unsettled and called her to warn her to focus on her studies and not to date.

Ning Wei said Sang Zhi should think carefully about when to agree to Duan Jiaxu and also make sure to protect herself. Sang Zhi was still somewhat worried, afraid that Duan Jiaxu was just being impulsive. However, her roommate reminded her that if she was really worried, she could test him. Within three minutes, she put on the bracelet Duan Jiaxu had given her, and he immediately messaged her asking if she was free tomorrow. Sang Zhi was about to answer when Ning Wei grabbed the phone and said no. Duan Jiaxu received the message and was confused, so he asked about the day after tomorrow. Sang Zhi still replied that she might not be free, and Duan Jiaxu immediately sought help from his colleagues. It turned out that Sang Zhi wanted to see how he would react. Duan Jiaxu asked about Thursday night, and Sang Zhi glanced at Ning Wei before agreeing.

On that Thursday, Sang Zhi dressed up beautifully, but Duan Jiaxu called and said he couldn't have dinner with her due to various problems. However, for the second time, Duan Jiaxu stood her up again because of work-related issues. After being disappointed three times, Sang Zhi was also frustrated and wondered if Duan Jiaxu was really serious about pursuing her. Until the nth time, even her roommate felt sorry for Sang Zhi. After being stood up once again, Sang Zhi returned to the dormitory without caring much. This time it wasn't because of work, but she didn't bother to ask either. Duan Jiaxu went to a sanatorium because his father had been in a vegetative state for the past few years after a car accident, and his condition had recently worsened.

That night, when Duan's father returned home, he was very scared and told Duan's mother and Duan Jiaxu that he had hit someone with his car. Both his mother and Duan Jiaxu wanted him to turn himself in, but to their surprise, Duan's father jumped from the building downstairs. Since then, Duan Jiaxu has been working hard to earn money. He originally didn't plan to attend Nanyu University, but his mother insisted that he complete his college education. Later, Duan's mother also fell ill, and Duan Jiaxu borrowed 30,000 yuan from Sang Yan's family in the hope that she would receive proper treatment. However, Duan's mother didn't want to owe more money for her sake, which added more pressure to Duan Jiaxu.

Exhausted, Duan Jiaxu returned home, not in the mood toreceive messages from Sang Zhi. However, after some consideration, he decided to call her and say that he wanted to come see her. Upon hearing the news, Sang Zhi's roommate wasted no time and grabbed her bag to go out. Duan Jiaxu often stood her up, and Sang Zhi wasn't particularly happy about it, but she understood that it was because of work and didn't get angry. Sang Zhi went to a nearby stall and bought a cotton candy to bring to Duan Jiaxu, saying that eating candy could make her feel happier when she's upset. It was the first time Duan Jiaxu had been comforted like this, and he felt quite good. Afterward, Duan Jiaxu concluded that Sang Zhi had already agreed to be his girlfriend, as who would make cotton candy for just a regular friend. Sang Zhi was speechless and could only advise him to search online for tips on how to pursue a girl. Duan Jiaxu quickly apologized and promised to make a serious effort to pursue her from now on.

Sang Zhi had to attend a sharing session over the weekend, and Duan Jiaxu also came to participate.
