He Zhinan was almost late for work, so she hurried to get ready and dashed towards the company. Luckily, she made it just in time and wasn’t late. Sitting at her workstation, He Zhinan took a bite of a snack, and overheard her colleagues discussing the arrival of the new manager, Qu Yipeng. They were all talking about how handsome and gentle Qu Yipeng was, the ideal type for many girls. He Zhinan questioned how handsome he could really be.

One of the girls said that even J-sister liked him. Just as they were talking, J-sister arrived and told everyone to stop chatting and get to work. While He Zhinan was debating whether blueberry or lemon-flavored candy was tastier, Qu Yipeng arrived, and he told He Zhinan that the blueberry flavor was better. He Zhinan asked him if he was here for the lecture, offering to find him a seat.

Before she could finish, J-sister came over and pulled him away. He Zhinan’s good friend was having issues with her boyfriend after seven years of dating, just as they were approaching marriage. The boyfriend, trying to save money, replaced the real flowers they had planned with fake ones and even suggested that his girlfriend didn’t really want to marry him. This reminded He Zhinan of her own long-distance relationship with Gao Peng, her boyfriend of seven years.

Her friend, Sun Hanhan, told her that maybe long-distance relationships were better in some ways. He Zhinan replied that she was holding on to the beautiful memories to fight against time. While they were chatting, He Zhinan said she was going to grab something to eat. As she walked over, she spotted Qu Yipeng. He Zhinan could only gaze at him from a distance, too shy to approach.

Sun Hanhan asked her why she didn’t say hello, and He Zhinan replied that she was socially anxious and not very familiar with him. Sun Hanhan then mentioned that she had gotten a membership at a high-end gym, to which He Zhinan commented that the gym was quite expensive. Sun Hanhan explained that she joined in hopes of meeting high-quality men.

She went to the gym and was about to use the treadmill, but didn’t know how to turn it on. Just then, a man came over and helped her start it. After her workout, Sun Hanhan waited at the door, intending to talk to the man, but he just politely replied and left. Later, while eating, He Zhinan ran into Qu Yipeng again. Since there were no free tables, they had to share one.

When it was time to pay, He Zhinan wanted to ask the waiter to split the bill, but Qu Yipeng said that would be too much trouble and suggested she just send him her share later. He added that he didn’t mind treating her to the meal. As a result, they exchanged WeChat contacts. He Zhinan asked Sun Hanhan how she should send the money in a way that was polite yet cute.

After some thought, He Zhinan just sent a simple “Thank you,” and Qu Yipeng replied with an emoji. At home, Qu Yipeng was waiting for his girlfriend, Han Su, to come back, but he fell asleep while waiting. When Han Su returned, he got up and reheated the food for her. Han Su told Qu Yipeng to quickly finish writing his article because it was certain to get noticed.

Qu Yipeng complained that it was too late, but Han Su insisted that she would stay up with him. However, after taking a shower, Han Su found that Qu Yipeng had already fallen asleep. She ended up staying up all night to finish writing the article for him. The next day, Qu Yipeng suggested she take the day off, but Han Su refused, saying her meeting was too important to miss. Feeling helpless, Qu Yipeng left.

Xu Ying still hadn’t married her husband and had become single again. He Zhinan and her friends gathered for drinks, and Xu Ying, after getting drunk, mentioned that Gao Peng’s family was becoming wealthier. She said she should have agreed to marry him back then. He Zhinan asked what she meant, but her friends brushed it off, saying it was nothing.

After sending Xu Ying home, He Zhinan overheard a group of girls talking about how Gao Peng used to pursue Xu Ying, but she didn’t like him. They said that Gao Peng had invited them all to Kangding, but none of them had agreed to go, except for He Zhinan. Now that Gao Peng’s family was wealthy, they regretted not going. Hearing this, He Zhinan left in tears.

He Zhinan’s company was hosting an event, and Qu Yipeng had forgotten to RSVP. He asked He Zhinan what to do since the event was already full. She reassured him, saying that it was okay and he could just find her when he arrived the next day. Qu Yipeng thanked her warmly.
