Duan Jiaxu said he would stay by Sang Zhi's side while she studied, but Sang Zhi leaned in and asked for a kiss. Duan Jiaxu's mind became chaotic, so he ran out to cook instead. After dinner, Sang Zhi insisted on doing the dishes for Duan Jiaxu, saying that he shouldn't always do everything alone. Sang Zhi claimed she wasn't tired, but she was already yawning. She went to her bedroom to study but couldn't help but fall dramatically onto the bed. There was a small dog by Duan Jiaxu's bedside, the one Sang Zhi had given him at the airport. Sang Zhi happily planned to cuddle the stuffed animal and take a nap, but Duan Jiaxu suddenly came in, startling Sang Zhi and causing her to fall to the floor. She stubbornly claimed that she was studying vocabulary because it was more exciting that way.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jiaxu immediately flipped over and pressed Sang Zhi down, saying he wanted her to experience what excitement truly meant. Blushing, Sang Zhi pushed him away and scolded him for being a pervert, saying she just wanted to sleep. Duan Jiaxu allowed her to sleep on his bed for a while, even though he would feel lonely by himself. But he would be happy as long as Sang Zhi could come there to study. Sang Zhi also held his arm and explained that it wasn't that she disliked Duan Jiaxu's behavior; it was just that every time he got close, she became even more nervous. She simply wasn't used to it yet.

In the evening, Duan Jiaxu accompanied Sang Zhi home. While Sang Zhi was giving herself candy, he held her hand for the first time. Hand in hand, they walked home, and Duan Jiaxu felt proud and sweet inside. Sang Zhi had been looking for an internship recently, but she hadn't received any responses after applying to a few places. Sang Zhi couldn't help but mock Duan Jiaxu, saying that holding hands usually happened while crossing the road, not like how Duan Jiaxu did it. Sang Zhi had never told Duan Jiaxu "I really like you" before, but now she could say it openly and receive a clear response.

Qian Fei called to say that he would come for a business trip next week and asked Duan Jiaxu to treat him to a big meal. Duan Jiaxu, who had successfully pursued Qian Fei, was in a generous mood. Qian Fei immediately showed off in the group, saying that he helped Duan Jiaxu find a girlfriend. Duan Jiaxu quickly confessed to Qian Fei that he actually knew this girl, and it was none other than Sang Zhi. Worried that Sang Yan would bite him to death, Qian Fei quickly distanced himself. Unexpectedly, Sang Yan immediately called to criticize Duan Jiaxu for asking Qian Fei to help him pursue someone. Duan Jiaxu could only say that he would return to Nanyu in a while and talk to Sang Yan face to face.

Wang Wang made an appointment with Jiang Ming for an interview, and the two spent time together. Wang Wang admired Jiang Ming even more. After learning that Sang Zhi went to Duan Jiaxu's house to study, Ning Wei's curiosity was ignited. However, Sang Zhi was extremely nervous when facing Duan Jiaxu, and she was afraid that he might misunderstand her. Itwas a source of distress for her. Ning Wei believed that Sang Zhi might be afraid that Duan Jiaxu would discover her previous feelings for him. She encouraged Sang Zhi to be bold, as physical contact is normal in a romantic relationship. Ning Wei advised Sang Zhi to take the initiative and show Duan Jiaxu that she does have feelings for him.

Sang Zhi immediately made plans with Duan Jiaxu to go out together on the weekend. However, Duan Jiaxu looked exhausted and not well-rested, but he insisted on going ice skating with Sang Zhi. Sang Zhi suddenly informed Duan Jiaxu that she planned to kiss him today, but she wanted to give him a heads-up to avoid surprising him. This statement startled Duan Jiaxu. Patiently, Duan Jiaxu taught Sang Zhi how to skate, and after she crashed into his arms, she gathered her courage and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Duan Jiaxu playfully claimed he wasn't prepared, which led to a more formal kiss.

Sang Zhi's parents didn't want her to stay in Yihetai for her internship. They helped her find an internship in Nanwu, but Sang Zhi still preferred to stay where she was.
