Tian Tian (played by Wang Herun) looked at the pen in her hand, engraved with the character "Mi," and couldn't help but recall the person she met two years ago. Two years ago, Shen Mi (played by Huang Zitao) brought Carlo to the pet hospital for treatment. Even the doctor concluded that Carlo's congenital heart disease could only be managed to the best of their abilities. Watching the continuously alarming electrocardiogram, Shen Mi's heart felt as if it were being squeezed, although the ECG had already shown a flatline. However, Tian Tian didn't give up; she continued to perform CPR on Carlo, continuously encouraging him. In the end, a miracle happened—Carlo woke up! Shen Mi's heart finally let go. When Tian Tian's pen ran out of ink while signing, Shen Mi handed over his own pen to her. In gratitude, Shen Mi didn't take the pen back. Tian Tian's aunt, seeing Tian Tian's appearance, couldn't help but comment on her being obsessed with looks. Tian Tian bluntly stated that he had more than just looks!

On the other side, Shen Mi's company was conducting a charity adoption event. Shen Mi was playing with Carlo inside when Shen Chen suddenly returned. Ignoring Shen Mi's assistant's attempts to stop him, Shen Chen barged directly into Shen Mi's office. The two brothers started teasing each other as soon as they met. Shen Mi questioned Shen Chen about where he had been wandering, and Shen Chen claimed he was on vacation. Shen Mi exposed Shen Chen's lie, stating that only people with jobs go on vacation. Shen Mi just wanted Shen Chen to focus and return to the company as soon as possible, considering Shen Mi's congenital heart disease was like a time bomb. Shen Chen frankly stated that he would take over the company when the time comes, as their father (Shen Mi's uncle) really liked the company. As they spoke, Shen Chen's father's voice came into the office, and Shen Chen immediately hid.

Shen Mi's good uncle questioned where the money came from for this activity as soon as he entered. Shen Mi explained that this adoption event was a paid adoption, and the media coverage would be helpful for the company's promotion. Shen Mi's uncle was momentarily speechless and simply told Shen Mi to go ahead. Just as Shen Mi was leaving, he wanted to shake hands with his uncle, but his uncle avoided it, disgusted by dog hair on Shen Mi's hand. As soon as Shen Mi left, Shen's uncle called someone to make a story out of the paid adoption! All of this was overheard by Shen Chen, who was utterly speechless and helpless about his father's tricks. Surprisingly, Tian Tian returned home early and was kicked out by her younger brother as soon as she entered. It turned out that Tian Tian's father had prepared a surprise for her birthday and even went out to buy mangoes, her favorite. Tian Tian had to follow her brother's instructions not to disappoint their father.

The adoption event officially began, and indeed, there was an unexpected incident. Just after Shen Mi finished speaking, someone questioned him about making money by using stray dogs for paid adoption. Shen Mi argued logically, stating that he had spent a considerable amount of money on their treatment. However, the situation was hard to control, and in the chaos, Shen Mi was hit by a signboard and fell to the ground. People realized that things had escalated when Shen Chen appeared, ignoring his father's obstruction and taking Shen Mi directly to the hospital. They didn't notice that Carlo quietly followed them. On the other side, Tian Tian received a message that her father had fainted and was taken to the hospital. Tian Tian hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

Shen Mi was not seriously injured, just excessively fatigued. Shen Chen, now in a playful mood, covered Shen Mi's head with a blanket and went out to make a phone call. Tian Tian, worried and anxious, arrived at the hospital and, due to a misunderstanding, ended up in Shen Mi's room. Facing Shen Mi, she burst into tears until Shen Mi was awakened, and the misunderstanding was finally cleared. Tian Tian recognized Shen Mi, but Shen Mi didn't recognize Tian Tian. When Tian Tian left, she unexpectedly ran into Shen Chen. Shen Chen caught Tian Tian's interest. When she arrived at her father's ward, her mother and brother said that her father only had a blood sugar problem and asked Tian Tian not to worry. After Tian Tian left, her mother and brother started crying.

Outside the hospital, Tian Tian saw a dog lying on the ground and realized its heartbeat was irregular. She took the dog to Tianlin Pet Hospital. This scene was captured by a passerby. Shen Mi, after confronting his uncle, heard the assistant report that Carlo was missing. Shen Mi, infuriated, watched the video and went crazy, instructing the assistant to investigate. Tian Tian had already taken good care of eight-year-old Carlo and mobilized everyone in a WeChat group to find the dog's owner.

At night, as Tian Tian was celebrating her birthday alone, someone claiming to be the dog's owner arrived. Tian Tian, after glancing at the dog's license, realized that this person was a dog trafficker. Tian Tian recorded the trafficker's words, and just then, Shen Mi arrived. Misunderstanding that Tian Tian was a dog thief, Shen Mi, with Carlo, left. Tian Tian couldn't explain herself as her phone was broken.

Shen Chen was drinking at a bar and called Shen Mi, intending to share the story of meeting a special girl at the hospital. However, Shen Mi was completely out of it, casually responded, and hung up the phone. Shen Chen, carefree as always, made a few casual remarks, not taking it to heart, and happily continued drinking. Shen Mi quickly comforted Carlo after hanging up, scolding him not to wander around. Some people may appear harmless, but in reality, they might be dog thieves. However, Carlo didn't agree and didn't respond to Shen Mi. He turned to leave, but Shen Mi used tasty treats to entice Carlo, and that's when Carlo stopped.

Late at night, a patient arrived at Tianlin Hospital, and the dog was already on the operating table. However, Tian Tian, holding the surgical knife, hesitated and eventually put it down. She left and told the family that someone else would take over the surgery. The family, concerned about the dog's condition, bombarded Tian Tian with questions. Fortunately, another doctor appeared in time, and with Tian Tian's aunt's explanation, the family stopped pressing the issue.

Shen Mi personally cooked Carlo's favorite food, but Carlo remained unresponsive. Shen Mi, puzzled by Carlo's reaction, resorted to coercion and temptation. In the end, Shen Mi decided to eat it himself, but Carlo still showed no reaction! On the other side, back in the office, Tian Tian started packing, constantly replaying the incident in her mind. It turns out that the surgery on Zai Zai made Tian Tian unable to pick up a surgical knife again. Tian Tian's aunt knew everything and consoled Tian Tian, asking if she wanted to talk to her father before he ran away again. Although Tian Tian's aunt and father told her that she had done her best regarding Zai Zai, Tian Tian still couldn't forgive herself, bluntly stating that a chief physician who couldn't pick up a surgical knife was just a decoration!

Shen Mi was still at odds with Carlo. Later, when Shen Mi received a call from his assistant and checked the hot search on Weibo, he realized he had misunderstood the girl. Carlo seemed to understand something and reacted in a way that pleased Shen Mi. Shen Mi decided to apologize, but he couldn't go empty-handed and it was too late. He then instructed his assistant to buy a new phone. Carlo was very satisfied with Shen Mi's actions and readily complied.

Tian Tian's aunt took Tian Tian to the hospital, and Tian Tian learned that her father's condition was not just low blood sugar; he had a stroke. Her mother only pretended it was low blood sugar to avoid pressuring Tian Tian. Tian Tian's mother knew about Tian Tian's plan to resign on her birthday and, despite her mother and aunt reassuring her, Tian Tian was in great pain and shed tears. Tianlin Pet Hospital was operating as usual, but an unwelcome group arrived—they were investors demanding money. Tian Tian stood up, but the investors only recognized Tian Tian's father and pointed out that Tian Tian couldn't perform surgery. In the end, they gave Tian Tian only seven days!

During the board meeting, Shen Mi's uncle openly challenged Shen Mi regarding the trial hospital idea. Shen Mi argued logically, and then Manager Zhao barged in to report Shen Mi. Shen Mi, hearing his accusations, smiled bitterly. Lawyer Han, with Zhao's self-criticism, directly embarrassed Zhao in the board meeting. Zhao only did it because he couldn't swallow the resignation matter. Shen Mi's uncle still spoke up for Zhao, and Shen Mi seemed to see something, immediately leaving.

Lawyer Han prepared healthy food for Shen Mi and suggested he visit his grandfather. When the assistant came with the new phone, Shen Mi left. Shen Mi thought that he hadn't apologized to anyone for a long time, and feeling a bit nervous, he saw Tian Tian's car and immediately became tense. Tian Tian, hearing Carlo's voice, quickly hid. When she heard that Shen Mi was there to treat Carlo, Tian Tian reluctantly let him in, maintaining a tough attitude. After Carlo ate, Tian Tian asked Shen Mi to leave, returned the pen, and was still angry. Shen Mi's gift was left ungiven. Upon leaving, Shen Mi ordered an investigation into Tianlin Pet Hospital.

Tian Tian was troubled by the hospital matter, and her loan application documents couldn't pass the review.

On the other side, Shen Mi unexpectedly received news that his grandfather wanted him to become the CEO!

Shen Mi's grandfather happily livestreamed and introduced the fresh fruits and vegetables he grew to his fans. The fans responded well, even requesting Shen Mi's grandfather to hang the vegetables on a small yellow cart. At this moment, Shen Chen came out to stir things up, bluntly saying that if anyone wanted to eat, they had to become Shen Mi's grandfather's daughter-in-law and leave their contact information below. Shen Mi's grandfather promptly stopped Shen Chen, but the fans still left. Shen Mi's grandfather had no way to deal with his mischievous grandson. While they were talking, Shen Mi returned, and Shen Mi and Shen Chen, using a secret code, went upstairs to play chess.

Shen Mi lost the first round, boosting Shen Chen's confidence. Shen Chen boldly claimed that Shen Mi was only slightly better at managing the company, but he excelled in other aspects. Shen Mi didn't want to bother with Shen Chen. At this time, Shen Mi received a report about the situation at Tianlin Pet Hospital. Upon hearing that the hospital was being oppressed by investors due to Tian Tian's father having a stroke, Shen Mi was stunned and felt complicated. Shen Chen inquired about the phone call's content, and Shen Mi briefly explained. The two decided to play another round, and if Shen Mi lost, he would buy Shen Chen a motorcycle, and Shen Chen wouldn't bother Shen Mi anymore. If Shen Chen lost, he would have to follow Shen Mi's orders.

On the other side, Shen Mi's uncle and grandfather discussed the matter of Shen Mi becoming the CEO. Grandfather knew that Shen Mi's uncle had thoughts about Shen Mi being the CEO and was aware of his schemes. Shen Mi's uncle didn't deny it but pointed out that he had started from the grassroots, unlike Shen Mi. Grandfather fell silent. Shen Chen lost and tried to act cute. Shen Mi insisted that Shen Chen find a formal job within a month, not using family money. Then, they began dinner. At the dinner table, Shen Mi's uncle suggested that Grandfather let Shen Mi work at the grassroots level for a year to revive an animal hospital. Grandfather agreed, and Shen Mi accepted. Shen Mi had thoughts about the hospital.

Customers caused trouble at Tianlin Hospital, and Tian Tian was almost engulfed by the crowd. Fortunately, Shen Mi appeared in time and refunded the customers one by one. Tian Tian was grateful for Shen Mi's actions and wanted to return the money. Shen Mi insisted on considering it as Tian Tian's gratitude for saving Carlo. Tian Tian brought out the phone Shen Mi had bought for her and said if he wanted to improve the hospital's management, he should call her. Tian Tian's aunt, looking at Shen Mi's business card, let her imagination run wild, suggesting that Shen Mi might be interested in Tian Tian. Tian Tian didn't have a good impression of Shen Mi but acknowledged her aunt's reasoning, realizing that Tianlin really needed help!

Shen Mi was working, and Mengnan wanted to have dinner with him. Shen Chen, passing by, jokingly said that Mengnan liked Shen Mi. The atmosphere became awkward, and Shen Mi received a call from Tian Tian. Shen Chen and Mengnan left one after another, with Shen Chen comforting Mengnan and saying that his brother was immune to the opposite sex. However, Mengnan was still sad. Shen Mi's aunt carefully did makeup for Tian Tian, even bringing out battle clothes and boots, jokingly suggesting that Tian Tian should take down Shen Mi.

Tian Tian didn't expect any of her aunt's ideas to work. Shen Mi was surprised by Tian Tian's appearance and then stated that he didn't drink. Seeing Shen Mi working on something, Tian Tian was relieved that her aunt's guess was correct, only to find out that Shen Mi was cooking for Carlo! However, Carlo preferred the food Tian Tian brought, leaving Shen Mi feeling a bit defeated. Shen Mi continued working, and Tian Tian had to deal with her gossiping aunt. Later, Shen Mi handed Tian Tian the prepared proposal. Upon hearing that Shen Mi wanted to take away 70% of Tianlin's shares, Tian Tian became angry, stating that she wouldn't bow for this small amount of rice. She then left.

Tianlin's employees gradually left, and the bank repeatedly rejected Tian Tian's applications. Feeling helpless, her aunt suggested restarting negotiations with Shen Mi, agreeing to all his demands. After all, giving Tianlin to that Mr. Hu meant losing everything! Tian Tian came to her father's bedside, feeling guilty about Tianlin. Her father told her about the time when she helped him treat a little horse, encouraging her. Tian Tian regained confidence and was determined to save Tianlin.

Carlo, faced with a pile of delicious food, remained unmoved. Shen Mi was worried about Tian Tian's arrival, who brought Carlo's favorite food. Carlo suddenly grabbed the bag from Tian Tian, and Shen Mi wanted Carlo to return it. Tian Tian said it was for Carlo, and unexpectedly, the three of them—Shen Mi, Tian Tian, and Carlo—ended up in a scuffle and accidentally fell to the ground. Tian Tian ended up lying on top of Shen Mi, and the situation became very awkward!

Tian Tian and Shen Mi lay on the ground, facing each other in an awkward silence. Just then, Mengnan entered with some people, prompting both to quickly compose themselves. Mengnan, surprised by the scene, introduced herself and brought along a cardiologist named Li Hongnian for Shen Mi. Although Shen Mi was reluctant due to his uncle's mention of it before, Mengnan had indeed arranged for the visit. Shen Mi explained that the lady, Dr. Tian, was his private physician, and the earlier actions were part of a cardiac examination. Dr. Li, recognizing the situation, tactfully left, and Mengnan suggested bringing Dr. Tian back to see Grandfather.

As soon as Mengnan left, Dr. Tian exploded, insisting that she was a veterinarian and not a human doctor. However, Shen Mi had to take Dr. Tian to see Grandfather about his heart condition; otherwise, Mengnan might find another private physician. Dr. Tian disagreed, and Shen Mi kept compromising on matters related to Tianlin. Dr. Tian remained firm, claiming she couldn't handle Shen Mi's heart issues. Finally, Shen Mi proposed a dominance clause: if they disagreed on Tianlin matters, he would withdraw without withdrawing his investment. Dr. Tian, hearing this, immediately changed her tone and allowed Shen Mi to call her "Dr. Xiaotian."

At Grandfather's house, Dr. Tian felt visibly uncomfortable. Mengnan, acting like a host, served tea to Dr. Tian and assisted Grandfather. Before Grandfather could say much, Mengnan raised several questions about Dr. Tian. Luckily, with Shen Mi's help, they managed to pass through the situation, though Dr. Tian's answers during CPR raised suspicions in Grandfather's mind. Outside, Shen Mi questioned Dr. Tian about treating him like a dog. Dr. Tian, feeling helpless, reminded Shen Mi not to forget their agreement.

Upon returning home, Shen Mi, holding the prescribed medicine, remembered some childhood scenes. Out of anger, he flushed the medicine down the toilet, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Meanwhile, Mengnan inquired about Dr. Tian's background with her father, and her mind dwelled on the scenes between Shen Mi and Dr. Tian in the office. Unable to control her thoughts, Mengnan speculated negatively.

Shen Mi visited Tianlin with a revised proposal, but Dr. Tian carefully examined the plan. Shen Mi, frustrated, suggested Dr. Tian consult a professional legal team. Suddenly, an emergency patient arrived—an elderly scavenger who had been hit by a car and had a dog that was also harmed. The old man sought help from Tianlin, and Dr. Tian promptly arranged surgery for the dog. Mengnan took care of the old man, and Shen Mi observed the situation. After the surgery, Dr. Tian comforted the old man, showing respect by only charging a modest fee. When Dr. Tian returned to the office, Shen Mi was waiting. After reviewing the free clinic records, Shen Mi stated that Dr. Tian was doing charity work, potentially creating dependency among pet owners. Dr. Tian disagreed, leading to another disagreement, and she suggested Shen Mi get a professional team to review the proposal.

Mengnan overheard Shen Mi's uncle and the R&D department discussing Dr. Gu's situation and advised Shen Mi to meet Dr. Gu before his uncle did. However, Mengnan, without informing Shen Mi, took Dr. Gu away. On the way to the R&D department, Mengnan realized Dr. Gu had claustrophobia but managed to keep him calm. When they reached Shen Mi's uncle, Mengnan tried to retain Dr. Gu, but he insisted on focusing on R&D, pledging to handle internal matters three days later when he returned to work.

The elderly scavenger, eating his usual steamed bun, suddenly felt unwell and collapsed. His dog followed the ambulance to the hospital's entrance.

Tian Tian has yet to sign the contract, causing her aunt to become anxious. She straightforwardly expresses that if Tian Tian doesn't sign soon, Tianlin will be in trouble. Tian Tian is aware of the situation, but their differences in perspective, especially regarding the free clinic, highlight their contrasting beliefs. Tian Tian envisions Tianlin as a warm family, while Shen Mi aims to turn it into a profit-making machine. The aunt even brings up the analogy of a married couple, suggesting that they can divorce if things don't work out. Tian Tian's extensive arguments are abruptly silenced.

The elderly scavenger, Uncle Zhou, remains in the hospital, and his dog, Tiger, anxiously waits outside, recalling the time when Uncle Zhou saved him from mischievous kids. Tiger, emotionally attached, waits through the day and night. The wound from the surgery that Tian Tian performed on Tiger starts bleeding due to excessive running around, but onlookers can only watch without helping.

Meanwhile, Tian Tian notices that Uncle Zhou hasn't brought Tiger for a follow-up, mistakenly thinking he doesn't want to trouble Tianlin further. She is slightly worried about Tiger's condition. Tian Tian prepares food for Carlo and goes to find her brother, only to discover him playing games. Despite constant troubles, investment negotiations, declining customers, her brother is engrossed in gaming. Tian Tian takes away his phone, instructing him to deliver the food to Carlo. Although Shen Mi is not a good person, Carlo is innocent. Tian Tian receives a call from an old classmate; their senior, Dr. Gu, has returned to China, and they plan to meet. Initially hesitant, Tian Tian agrees at her aunt's insistence.

At the gathering, before Dr. Gu arrives, former classmates express concern about Tian Tian's situation. The once troublesome girl brags about her wealthy husband and intentionally brings up Tianlin to disgust Tian Tian. Classmates offer help if Tian Tian faces difficulties, but she mentions potential investors with a minor issue to resolve. When pushed, she reluctantly reveals Shen Mi's name. Dr. Gu arrives, shifting the conversation away, leaving Tian Tian troubled. Drunk, Tian Tian later reflects on Shen Mi's actions and deletes him from WeChat. Shen Mi, angered upon realizing the deletion, calls Tian Tian, but his calls are blocked. Shen Mi contacts the aunt, who reveals Tian Tian's address, asking him to pick her up.

Shen Mi arrives just as others are leaving, finding Tian Tian heavily intoxicated. Upon seeing him, Tian Tian launches into a tirade. Shen Mi, unimpressed, carries Tian Tian to the car, leading others to assume they are a couple. In the car, Tian Tian falls asleep, and, unable to locate her address, Shen Mi resorts to facial recognition on her phone. Tian Tian wakes up the next morning, questions her aunt about the situation, and apologizes to Shen Mi during breakfast. They learn that Uncle Zhou has been hospitalized.

Worried, they rush to the hospital, finding Uncle Zhou's relatives uncontactable. Uncle Zhou is placed in a corridor bed. Shen Mi pays for his medical expenses and arranges for a bed. Tian Tian is moved by Shen Mi's actions. After leaving the hospital, they discover Tiger waiting, and Tian Tian realizes Tiger has collapsed. Back at Tianlin, Tian Tian diagnoses Tiger, determining the need for a splenectomy. With Dr. Chen absent, Tian Tian struggles to pick up the surgical knife. Fortunately, Dr. Chen arrives in time. Tian Tian, emotionally distraught, returns to her office, where Shen Mi, who witnessed everything, remains unaware of the reasons. Tian Tian, in tears, remains silent, and Shen Mi stands outside the door, clueless.

Shen Mi silently stands outside Tian Tian's office, accompanying her. After crying for an unknown duration, Tian Tian finally opens up about the relationship between herself and Zai Zai. The emotional bond between Tian Tian and Zai Zai runs deep. Even the food she prepares for Carlo today is a result of many attempts to cater to Zai Zai's preferences. However, despite her efforts, Tian Tian couldn't save Zai Zai, creating a lasting scar in her heart. She can no longer bring herself to pick up the surgical knife. Hearing this, Shen Mi empathizes without interrupting Tian Tian.

Dr. Chen finishes the surgery and comes out. Tian Tian immediately opens the door and inquires about Tiger's condition. Dr. Chen regrets to inform her that Tiger's spleen bled extensively, and there was nothing more they could do. This news, perhaps connecting to Zai Zai's situation, intensifies Tian Tian's anguish. Shen Mi finally speaks up after Dr. Chen leaves, expressing that Tian Tian has done her best for both Tiger and Zai Zai. He mentions the incident with Carlo, emphasizing that, to the animals saved by Tian Tian, she is a hero. Shen Mi extends his hand to lift Tian Tian, and she accepts. He keeps holding her hand, urging her to reconsider their cooperation. Tian Tian, shocked, as she is a hospital director who can't hold a surgical knife, finds Shen Mi's trust a significant encouragement. Finally, the collaboration between them is achieved!

During work hours, Han Mengnan deliberately waits at the front desk. Seeing Dr. Gu Mingze enter the company, she starts walking inside. As expected, Dr. Gu stops her, and a chance encounter unfolds. While in the elevator, Han Mengnan cautiously inquires about Dr. Gu's well-being, subtly mentioning his earlier invitation for dinner. Dr. Gu happily accepts. On the other hand, Shen Mi, at home taking care of Carlo, promises not to go out today and stay with Carlo. However, Han Mengnan calls Shen Mi, asking if he has time in the evening. Recalling Tian Tian's difficulty in talking to Uncle Zhou about Tiger, they agree to visit the hospital together. Shen Mi declines Han Mengnan's invitation, who suggests moving the meeting to the afternoon and reminds Shen Mi of the significance of the day – their anniversary. Shen Mi, unaware, agrees reluctantly.

Shen Mi arrives at the agreed place, recalling memories of himself and another young boy. Upon arrival, he realizes that Han Mengnan has also invited Dr. Gu. Shen Mi once again asserts his reluctance to be involved in the R&D department. However, on this particular day, he refrains from saying anything unpleasant to Han Mengnan. Dr. Gu arrives, mentioning a brief encounter with Shen Mi, leaving Shen Mi no choice but to leave. Han Mengnan and Dr. Gu are left alone.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian visit the hospital to see Uncle Zhou. Upon learning about Tiger's situation, Uncle Zhou is deeply saddened, and Tian Tian is also in tears. Shen Mi can only comfort her quietly. Back home, Shen Mi tells Carlo about Tiger. The departure of Tiger deeply saddens Shen Mi, triggering memories of the two young boys who saved Carlo's mother and took care of Carlo later on. He can't help but sigh, imagining how upset Tian Tian must be if she were still alive. Tian Tian takes care of her father, and they discuss the events of the day. Her father gives full approval of Tian Tian's work, hoping she can fully embrace her responsibilities. Tian Tian then sends a WeChat message to Shen Mi, confirming the time for the official signing. Shen Mi, delighted, responds to Grandpa's inquiry. However, Shen Mi's uncle is hesitant to lend money to Shen Mi, indicating that the investment in Tianlin must come from Shen Mi's personal savings. Shen Mi realizes this is a battle he must win!

The next day, Shen Mi arrives at Tianlin for the signing ceremony. The aunt arranges for a photo to commemorate the occasion, adding a ceremonial touch. Afterwards, Tian Tian guides Shen Mi around the hospital, and witnessing the unique and dedicated staff, Shen Mi has a lot on his mind. During the meeting, employees are engrossed in their own activities, and when Tian Tian, the director, speaks, nobody listens. Shen Mi observes everything but remains silent during his turn to speak. On the other side, Han Mengnan and Dr. Gu have supper, where Dr. Gu once again emphasizes his reluctance to get involved in the internal disputes of the company, hoping Han Mengnan will stop.

In the evening, Shen Mi and Tian Tian have a meal together. Shen Mi reveals that his silence during the meeting was to establish Tian Tian's authority and make it clear whose words the employees should heed. He expresses his views on Tianlin's management, suggesting that some of the current employees, those that Tian Tian is proud of, may need to be let go.

Originally, Tian Tian was happily enjoying supper while listening to Shen Mi discussing hospital matters. However, when Tian Tian heard that Shen Mi planned to dismiss everyone from Tianlin, she instantly exploded. Tian Tian couldn't understand what was wrong with them, and the idea of firing everyone was unacceptable to her! Tian Tian directly snatched the sausage skewer from Shen Mi's mouth, leading to a heated argument. Seeing that Tian Tian wasn't receptive, Shen Mi revealed the company's plan to introduce targeted drugs to trial hospitals, selecting Tianlin as one of them. While Tian Tian thought it was a good thing, Shen Mi argued that Tianlin currently didn't meet the standards. If it were to be a trial hospital, Tianlin needed to be more specialized and commercialized. Shen Mi pointed out the shortcomings of Tianlin's employees, stating that the previous family-style management, relying on Director Tian's personal charm, was unsustainable. Tian Tian insisted that this was a type of human touch that Shen Mi didn't understand, and Tianlin wouldn't actively dismiss any employee. After saying this, she left, leaving Shen Mi frustrated.

The next day, Shen Mi, accompanied by Carlo, visited Tianlin. Upon entering, Yu Yue, who had previously successfully entered Tianlin with a fake resume, greeted Shen Mi. However, Shen Mi ignored her and walked inside. He encountered Tian Tian, and the two had an awkward encounter, with Yu Yue observing their relationship. Shen Mi and Tian Tian squeezed into Tian Tian's office to work. Unable to stand the sound of Shen Mi typing, Tian Tian insisted on giving him a separate office on the second floor. However, after seeing the cash flow statement for Tianlin that Shen Mi handed over, Tian Tian fell silent. Later, Tianlin had an emergency, and Yu Yue quickly went to gossip and inquire about Shen Mi and Tian Tian's relationship. Shen Mi and Tian Tian worked in Tian Tian's office. When Tian Tian couldn't stand the sound of Shen Mi typing, she suggested giving him a separate office on the second floor. However, after seeing Tianlin's cash flow statement provided by Shen Mi, Tian Tian kept quiet. Afterward, Tianlin went to handle the emergency, and Yu Yue tried to support but seemed absent-minded, focusing on Shen Mi's whereabouts. Shen Mi noticed this, and later, Tian Tian received a call from Grandma Wang, requiring her to conduct an external consultation. So, Tian Tian left the emergency case of the dog to Wen Jing and Yu Yue.

While waiting for a car after leaving, Shen Mi appeared in time and decided to drive Tian Tian to the external consultation. Tian Tian was in a hurry, and in the end, she got into Shen Mi's car. Seeing the two of them in a car from a distance, Tian Peilan instantly felt relieved, as long as the two of them were doing well, she was happy. After arriving at the destination, after basic treatment for the little cat, which required an hour of infusion, the cat's owner went to boil water for them. Tian Tian was about to refuse, but Shen Mi suddenly said he was very thirsty. Finally, they got some time alone. Shen Mi took the initiative to suggest discussing their relationship. Shen Mi believed that a good working relationship must be built on mutual trust. So, Shen Mi proposed that they ask each other a question. The result was that they started arguing as soon as they opened their mouths, shifting from the issue of cooperation to their personal feelings. In the end, the in-depth conversation between the two, who had never been in a relationship, ended in failure.

The two drove back to the hospital, and even before entering, they heard a commotion. It turned out that the dog from the previous emergency case had been injected with the wrong medication, and the family was causing a scene. Shen Mi took immediate action, signing a confidentiality agreement, and calming down the family. Shen Mi then started investigating the cause, and Yu Yue initially tried to shift the blame to Wen Jing. Everyone believed in Wen Jing's character, but in the end, they found Yu Yue's lipstick on the medicine bottle. This matter was finally clarified, and this time, Tian Tian did not stop Shen Mi from dismissing Yu Yue. The mutual trust among everyone in this matter helped Shen Mi understand the human touch that Tian Tian mentioned. So, Shen Mi decided to compromise. As long as Tian Tian could achieve the profit target within three months, they wouldn't be dismissed. Tian Tian agreed.

As usual, Tian Peilan chatted with customers about gossip, but Shen Mi quietly appeared behind her. Later, he held a meeting to announce new assessment rules. This time, Shen Mi confiscated Tian Peilan's gossip notebook. Everyone questioned Shen Mi about what he would assess himself on, and Shen Mi boldly stated that he would achieve at least half of the turnover! After the meeting, Shen Mi privately showed Tian Tian the new business plan he had made. In Shen Mi's view, Tianlin had weaknesses and strengths. One of its strengths was the stray animals they adopted. Shen Mi suggested initiating a charity donation, allowing compassionate people to release their kindness. Soon, a promotional video was filmed, and traffic increased. Tianlin was gradually moving in a positive direction.

Tian Tian, Tian Peilan, Tian Yuxian, and Chen Yifan went out to eat together. Although everyone enjoyed their meal, Tian Tian had lost her appetite. Soon, they began to criticize the new performance evaluation proposed by Shen Mi. Dr. Chen expressed surprise at being asked for such requirements after so many years, and Tian Yuxian lamented that he could only play games during mealtime. Tian Peilan was saddened by the loss of her gossip notebook. Tian Tian listened quietly to everyone's complaints and later stated that it was a good thing for Tianlin, as increased revenue was necessary. She believed that sacrifices were needed for a revolution. Hearing this, the others, unbothered by the prospect of Tian Tian being dismissed, continued eating noodles.

Tian Tian examined the medical records and was surprised to find that customer traffic had multiplied several times compared to before. However, Shen Mi poured cold water on her excitement, revealing that the publicity on the charity website was orchestrated by him. Other pet shops, seeing Tianlin's reputation rise, began to imitate, and Tianlin was now facing a potential customer diversion. Tian Tian hoped Shen Mi would provide the next step in the plan, but he claimed it was up to her as the director. Feeling a sudden sense of responsibility, Tian Tian straightened her back.

After work, Shen Mi came out of the office and was surprised to see Tian Tian and others gearing up to distribute flyers. Despite Shen Mi's visible disdain, Tian Tian was not discouraged. This was the best plan she could think of as the director. Before leaving, Tian Tian added that everyone was doing this after working hours, so it wouldn't affect performance. The group dispersed to distribute flyers, with Tian Tian showing the most enthusiasm. Even when everyone else was leaving, Tian Tian insisted on continuing for a while. As it grew dark, with Tian Tian's feet in high heels finally giving in, Shen Mi unexpectedly appeared. Not only did he bring band-aids for Tian Tian, but he also joined in distributing flyers, quickly attracting attention. When they returned to Tianlin, they found an abandoned teddy bear named Xiao Q at the doorstep.

The next day, they conducted a checkup on Xiao Q, and when Tian Yuxian was supposed to groom it, he sneaked off to the restroom to play games. Xiao Q took the opportunity to escape, meeting Carlo outside. Xiao Q, agile and swift, carried snacks from the store one by one outside, unnoticed by everyone. When they realized, Xiao Q had disappeared. Tian Yuxian was about to go out to find it when they discovered Xiao Q had returned on its own. That night, while Shen Mi worked at home, Han Mengnan visited unexpectedly. Seeing Shen Mi's indifferent attitude, she couldn't help but sigh that Shen Mi had changed. Han Mengnan deliberately mentioned seeing Tian Tian and Shen Mi together, but Shen Mi didn't elaborate. Han Mengnan sensibly left.

Dr. Chen came out to eat snacks and was surprised to find that the newly bought snacks were almost gone. Thinking it was Tian Peilan who ate them, they only discovered, after checking the surveillance, that Xiao Q was the culprit. To understand what happened, they gave snacks to Xiao Q again. The group chased Xiao Q outside but lost it. After hearing that Xiao Q had a stomach problem, Tian Peilan suddenly decided to go back to check her notebook. Based on her records, Tian Peilan deduced a few things. While everyone was on a stakeout, Tian Tian took the opportunity to rectify her aunt's reputation in front of Shen Mi. Finally, near the trash bin, they found Xiao Q and its owner, a little girl who immediately apologized. Later, the little girl brought everyone to her home, where they learned about the difficult family situation, with a closed-minded aunt. The home was not suitable for Xiao Q, so the little girl decided to entrust Xiao Q to Tianlin. To encourage the girl, Shen Mi also gave a stern message for her to study hard and take Xiao Q back in the future.

After the incident with Xiao Q, Shen Mi finally underwent a change and returned the gossip notebook to Tian Peilan. What Shen Mi didn't know was that Shen Chen had quietly arrived near Tianlin. Meanwhile, Tian Tian and Tian Peilan were worrying about the shortage of hospital doctors when Shen Chen suddenly appeared, saying he had come to apply!

Tian Tian had read Shen Chen's resume and found it impressive. Not only did Shen Chen have multiple identities and studied pet medicine abroad, but the only drawback was his lack of experience working in a hospital. While they were in the middle of the interview, they were interrupted by a commotion outside. Tian Tian paused the interview and went out to investigate. It turned out a customer insisted on having vocal cord polyp removal surgery for their dog. Chen Yifan explained that Tian Lin couldn't perform such a surgery, and the customer considered going elsewhere. Tian Tian added that the polyp was close to a major artery, posing a risk to the dog. She emphasized that no reputable hospital would perform such a procedure on pets. The dog's owner, on the verge of a breakdown, complained about the nuisance caused by the dog barking at night. Unbeknownst to them, the dog had quietly left. After a while, Shen Chen emerged with the dog, offering various solutions to the customer. Tian Tian quietly listened, and the customer's mood improved, leaving satisfied.

Tian Tian turned to Shen Chen, welcoming him to the Tian Lin family. At that moment, Shen Mi returned with Carlo. Carlo entered the hospital first, and upon seeing him, Shen Chen instinctively called out its name, sensing Tian Tian's surprise. Shen Chen quickly explained, and then Shen Mi appeared. The two brothers seemed unfamiliar with each other, and Tian Tian introduced them while Shen Mi felt something strange about Shen Chen's presence. Tian Tian returned to the office to handle Shen Chen's onboarding, while Shen Mi took Shen Chen aside for a talk, ostensibly for "employee training." In reality, Shen Mi immediately asked Shen Chen to resign and return to the company for another position. Shen Chen refused to listen, citing his reasons for Tian Tian and recalling the incident when Shen Mi hung up on him. Finally, Shen Chen used Tian Tian's veterinary profession to threaten Shen Mi, who had no choice but to stay silent.

Shen Chen, for the first time, returned home and shared the news of finding a job with his family. His father complained about the stress at work and hoped he would return to help. Shen Chen openly expressed that his father intervened too much in the company's R&D department. He then mentioned that he planned to buy gifts for his parents with his salary.

On Valentine's Day, Wen Jing noticed the conversation at the front desk and inquired about Tian Peilan's relationship. She also asked about Tian Peilan's plans for the evening. Tian Peilan took the opportunity to show off, while Chen Yifan teased her. Wen Jing, accustomed to their banter, didn't take it to heart. Shen Chen handed a coffee to Tian Tian and, in passing, asked about the relationship between Tian Tian and Shen Mi. After hearing that they were only investors and partners, Shen Chen left satisfied. Shen Chen also built a relationship with Tian Yuxian, playing games with him.

In the evening, Tian Peilan happily went for a blind date, but unexpectedly, a group of dogs needed to be walked, and with Tian Yuxian's cooperation, this task fell on Tian Tian and Shen Chen. Dr. Gu waited a long time for Meng Nan's reply but was saddened to find that she had discarded the flowers he gave her. Tian Peilan couldn't find a cab for her blind date, and the date was ruined. Fortunately, Chen Yifan appeared in time, preventing it from being too lonely. Meng Nan and Dr. Gu coincidentally entered the same convenience store, each buying their own food. When they noticed each other, they sat quietly, eating together in silence.

Tian Tian and Shen Chen walked the dogs together in the park. Tian Tian figured out that the whole dog-walking situation was a set-up by Tian Yuxian and Shen Chen. Suddenly, fireworks lit up the sky, and Tian Tian liked them. Shen Chen intended to pretend that he had arranged the fireworks, but to his embarrassment, they spelled out "Lulu's name." Shen Chen awkwardly walked away. Later, Tian Yuxian, who had been walking Carlo, joined them in the park. When he walked by Tian Tian, he remained silent and left without a word. Back at Tian Lin, Tian Tian asked Shen Mi about the reason, and he only wanted to retrieve his pen. He then presented a custom-made pen to Tian Tian with the word "Sweet" engraved on it. Tian Tian instantly lost her anger and felt touched.

Tian Peilan and Tian Tian gossiped about Shen Chen. At that moment, Tian Tian received a call. It turned out to be a response to her earlier idea of a sterilization project for stray animals. Tian Tian was thrilled and asked Tian Peilan not to tell Shen Mi for now.

Tian Tian was overjoyed when she heard that Han Lu Charity was interested in collaborating with Tian Lin. After setting a time and place for dinner, Tian Tian began preparing for the meeting. When Shen Chen arrived at work, everyone greeted him and wished him well. Upon seeing Tian Yuxian, Shen Chen learned that Tian Peilan and the others had been gossiping. Shen Chen felt embarrassed and continued to inquire about Tian Yuxian regarding Tian Tian's preferences. Learning that Tian Tian loved mangoes, Shen Chen immediately set off to buy mango smoothies. As Shen Chen left, everyone speculated that he was preparing for the date.

Shen Mi heard the rumors and instinctively went to Tian Tian's office. Indeed, Tian Tian was putting on makeup. Without changing his expression, Shen Mi suggested postponing the dinner because Grandpa wanted them to return home. Tian Tian, focused on the collaboration with Han Lu Charity, rejected Shen Mi, who thought Tian Tian was going on a date with Shen Chen. That made him uneasy, but he didn't say much.

In the evening, Tian Tian went on the date happily, and Shen Mi went home alone to visit Grandpa. Grandpa mentioned criticizing "Doctor Tian" next time, and Shen Mi indirectly defended Tian Tian. The representative from Han Lu Charity praised Tian Lin after reading the introduction, making Tian Tian very happy, thinking the collaboration was about to be finalized. On the other hand, when Shen Chen brought back the mango smoothies, Tian Peilan accidentally revealed the dinner plans with Han Lu, causing excitement among the group. It turned out that Han Lu Charity was an organization that used charity as a cover to deceive people both financially and romantically. Shen Chen, alarmed, led everyone to Cuiyun Restaurant.

On Tian Tian's side, while discussing the proposal, it accidentally fell to the ground. When Tian Tian bent down to pick it up, the person secretly put something in her juice. Unaware, she drank it and soon felt unwell. As she headed to the restroom, things took a wrong turn. Shen Chen appeared and swiftly knocked down the villain, helping Tian Tian. When Shen Mi arrived and saw Tian Tian's condition, he misunderstood the situation, scolding and hitting Shen Chen without giving him a chance to explain. Fortunately, Tian Peilan and Chen Yifan arrived in time to resolve the misunderstanding. They accompanied Tian Tian to the hospital.

Luckily, Shen Chen's timely arrival prevented any serious harm to Tian Tian. After a heated discussion, they decided to let Shen Mi stay at the hospital to watch over Tian Tian for the night. After Tian Peilan and Chen Yifan left, Tian Tian vomited on Shen Mi's clothes. Shen Chen asked Shen Mi to leave the room, and this time he questioned Shen Mi about his feelings for Tian Tian. Shen Mi admitted he liked her, and after a brief pause, Shen Chen said he would still pursue her. When a commotion came from the ward, they rushed in to find Tian Tian falling off the bed. The brothers helped her up, and as Shen Chen left, Shen Mi teased him about being the first person Tian Tian would see when she woke up.

The next day, Shen Mi took Tian Tian back to Tian Lin. The atmosphere was awkward, and it turned out Tian Tian's leg had been on Shen Mi while sleeping, causing him to feel sore all over. Tian Tian felt embarrassed and washed Shen Mi's clothes. As they couldn't be water-washed, she covered the stain with Tian Lin's stickers. Tian Tian thanked Shen Chen, who then asked her to be his girlfriend, but she declined. In the end, Shen Chen hugged Tian Tian and let go. Shen Mi returned to the company for a meeting, and his uncle brought up the issue of trademarks on Shen Mi's clothes. Shen Mi boldly defended himself and insisted that Tian Lin should participate in the veterinary medicine summit. Tian Tian was delighted to learn she was going to the summit too.

After finishing surgery, Chen Yifan returned home to find it flooded. His takeout was delivered, but a stray cat ate it before he could. Annoyed, he gave the delivery person a bad review. Despite the delivery person's sadness, he took the pitiful cat home. Han Uncle visited Tian Lin to ask Shen Mi not to attend the veterinary medicine summit. Tian Tian, with Carlo, came out to find Shen Mi, and they all ended up in the park where the delivery person was drawing for passersby and the cat.

Deliveryman Zhao Hao sat in the park holding a stray cat named Xiaojv. Zhao Hao introduced a service where he drew portraits for people and Xiaojv. Despite Xiaojv eating Chen Yifan's takeout, Zhao Hao was fined ¥200. Regardless, Zhao Hao willingly shared his dinner with Xiaojv. Carlo, noticing this, ran over, catching the attention of Shen Mi and Tian Tian. Shen Mi noticed Zhao Hao drawing portraits and suggested having portraits drawn for themselves. Tian Tian hesitated but agreed. Zhao Hao, aspiring to study fine arts, turned to delivery due to not passing exams.

While sitting in the park, Xiaojv suddenly ran off, prompting Carlo to chase after it. The others followed and discovered that Xiaojv belonged to Zhao Hao. Xiaojv seemed to want to show them something, leading them to a run-down building. Inside, they found a base for stray cats, but the living conditions were poor. Tian Tian suggested sending occasional food, as there was no space in Tian Lin for them to stay. Inside, they noticed a pregnant cat whose water had broken.

The three rushed the cat back to Tian Lin, where it was in critical condition, requiring an emergency cesarean section. Tian Tian contacted Chen Yifan for help. Chen Yifan, annoyed but concerned, performed the surgery. Afterward, feeling unwell, Chen Yifan rested while Zhao Hao, who had left to return a car, brought back a meal. Chen Yifan, embarrassed, left to rest without eating.

The next day, the cat at Tian Lin was doing well. Shen Mi asked about Tian Tian's response to Shen Chen's proposal. Tian Tian rejected him, stating a preference for someone more stable. Chen Yifan, having rested at Tian Lin but still feeling unwell, tried to get comfort from Tian Peilan, leading to a humorous misunderstanding. Shen Mi and Tian Tian watched with amusement.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian worked in the office, and Tian Tian hinted at wanting the newly opened mango smoothie from the mall. She also hinted at the incident when Shen Chen bought her food during Shen Mi's party. Unable to resist, Shen Mi immediately went to queue for the smoothie. Tian Tian then instructed Tian Yuxian and Shen Chen to retrieve the stray cats. When Shen Mi returned, she remarked on his effective distraction. However, Tian Lin couldn't afford the expenses, so Tian Tian decided to send the cats to a nearby cat cafe, suggested by Shen Chen. They went to inspect, and Tian Tian and Tian Yuxian were impressed and signed a contract, despite Shen Mi's objections.

Tian Lin couldn't find Wen Jing, and Shen Mi revealed that he sent her to investigate the cat cafe. The cafe owner seemingly drugged the cats to make them hyperactive. To rescue the cats, Tian Tian went to the cafe after the owner left. Shen Mi joined her, concerned about her safety. He tried to pull her away, thinking it was a crime to infiltrate the cafe. Tian Tian explained she was collecting evidence, but Shen Mi insisted they leave.

Shen Mi tried to stop Tian Tian's actions. After all, sneaking into a cat cafe in the middle of the night is a criminal act. Tian Tian insisted on finding evidence of the cat cafe owner abusing animals. Only by doing so could they reclaim the stray cats according to the contract. As they argued, they heard some noises. Both of them immediately hid, looking at each other, silently observing the actions outside.

It turned out that the cat cafe owner had returned, angrily calling someone on the phone, complaining that they hadn't provided water and food for the cats. After venting, the owner hung up, took out the cat food from the cages, and left. Shen Mi and Tian Tian cautiously emerged. Shen Mi sniffed the cat food and found nothing strange compared to regular cat food. However, considering the cats' prolonged activity, there was definitely an issue with the food. Tian Tian was thinking about where to conduct a proper inspection when Shen Mi suddenly remembered a place.

The next day, Shen Mi took the cat food to the R&D laboratory at Green River to ask Dr. Gu for an analysis. While waiting for the results, Dr. Gu also confirmed Shen Mi's relationship with Han Mengnan. Shen Mi openly stated that they were family. Dr. Gu then expressed his intention to pursue Han Mengnan. Shen Mi mentioned that he didn't know if they were compatible and didn't pass judgment. Dr. Gu understood Shen Mi's meaning.

With the test results, Shen Mi went to Tian Lin, revealing that the cat food indeed contained something unusual. If the cats consumed it, they could become overly excited or even faint. Everyone now knew there was a problem with the cat food, but it was challenging to expose it as coming from the cat cafe. There was no way to prove the authenticity of the lab report, and conducting on-site tests at the cafe was impractical. After a brief silence, Shen Mi spoke up, asking if Shen Chen would be willing to pose as his younger brother.

After dressing up, Shen Chen started a live stream at the cat cafe. Initially, the staff tried to stop him, but when they learned that tens of thousands of people were watching, the owner changed the rules, allowing the live stream without disturbing other customers. Shen Chen and the owner started the stream together. Meanwhile, Chen Yifan arrived at the cafe. While Shen Chen continued the live stream, Chen Yifan and Zhao Hao staged a performance, creating chaos. In the midst of the confusion, Shen Chen took the cat food and, with the witness of thousands, brought it to the Green River lab for testing. The scandal of the cat cafe quickly became public knowledge. Tian Tian successfully reclaimed the stray animals, handing them over to Green River. When adopting them for a fee, Shen Mi could set high prices, preventing unscrupulous businesses like the cat cafe owner. This was in line with the original purpose of Green River's paid adoption platform and Shen Mi's intentions.

In the evening, Tian Tian went to deliver medicine to Zhao Hao's little orange, and Shen Mi followed along. This time, Zhao Hao completed the portrait that was left unfinished last time. Tian Tian held Shen Mi's hand, and both were very happy. After returning, Shen Mi discussed matters with Uncle Han. Carlo played with the portrait by himself. Uncle Han still didn't fully approve of Shen Mi attending the Veterinary Medicine Summit, but Shen Mi insisted on going. Later, Han Mengnan arrived, bought a new toy for Carlo, and surprisingly found the portrait in Carlo's bed. Han Mengnan was instantly stunned, and on the way back, she was lost in thought.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian's Veterinary Medicine Summit was approaching. Shen Mi suggested that the travel expenses be borne by Tian Lin. Tian Tian then staged a play with Tian Peilan, and in the end, Shen Mi directly pulled out his black card, taking responsibility for the travel expenses. On the other hand, Han Mengnan found Dr. Gu, expressing concern for him while asking him to help her obtain an invitation to the Veterinary Medicine Summit. Han Mengnan also wanted to go to Thailand. Tian Peilan excitedly checked the hotel environment where Shen Mi and Tian Tian would stay in Thailand. Shen Chen accidentally discovered that Tian Peilan was using Shen Chen's card. He managed to contact the hotel, learned that Shen Mi and Tian Tian were going together, and panicked. He quickly accepted Tian Yuxian's money and decided to make a trip to a foreign country!

At the airport, Shen Mi and Tian Tian unexpectedly encountered Dr. Gu and Han Mengnan, creating a very awkward scene. Han Mengnan discovered that Tian Tian and Dr. Gu were classmates, and Dr. Gu knew they had a business relationship. Han Mengnan mistakenly thought they were in an employer-employee relationship, nearly exposing the truth. She also hoped to have dinner with Shen Mi when they arrived. Dr. Gu silently observed everything, feeling uncomfortable.

Upon arriving at the destination, Tian Tian and Shen Mi discovered that Tian Peilan had booked them a honeymoon suite!

When Tian Tian and Shen Mi heard about the honeymoon suite, they instantly froze in place. Shen Mi inquired and found out that only one room had been booked. Tian Tian asked the front desk to check for other available rooms, but the result was a clear no. Shen Mi, feeling exasperated, walked away, and Tian Tian, sensing what might be happening, cautiously followed Shen Mi without daring to utter a word.

Upon reaching the booked room, they were greeted by a bed covered in rose petals and various items prepared for couples. Both Tian Tian and Shen Mi were stunned. Tian Tian immediately called Tian Peilan, questioning her about the situation. Tian Peilan, with an air of pride, suggested that there must be something fishy going on in their minds; otherwise, they would have handled it gracefully. Unable to make sense of the situation, Tian Tian and Tian Peilan hung up. They planned to confront her later. When they returned to the room, Shen Mi was tidying up the mess on the bed. Tian Tian intended to explain that her aunt didn't do it intentionally, but Shen Mi bluntly stated that it was deliberate. He even added a series of requests to the order, such as roses and champagne, making it obvious. Tian Tian felt embarrassed, but Shen Mi saw it as an opportunity, stating that the room was spacious enough for two people. He then suggested that Tian Tian rest for a while and later take her out.

In the 13th episode of "Sweet You," Shen Mi encountered a mysterious person on the street who handed him a document. The person mentioned that the factory had been abandoned for a long time, and obtaining the information was a considerable effort. Meanwhile, Tian Tian, just waking up, found a note left by Shen Mi in the living room, explaining that he had some matters to attend to. Tian Tian, after some tidying up, went outside and surprisingly saw a familiar figure—Shen Chen! She asked him incredulously how he ended up there, and Shen Chen explained that it was his classmate's classmate getting married here, providing a rather absurd reason.

Later, Shen Chen and Tian Tian went out with Caro. The riverside was lively, and Shen Chen suggested celebrating the Water Lantern Festival by inviting Tian Tian to paddle a boat. Tian Tian declined, claiming to be hungry. Shen Chen happily went to buy mango sticky rice for her. While Tian Tian and Caro strolled around, they came across a vendor selling lanterns, claiming they were effective for wish-making. Intrigued, Tian Tian bought one, lit it, and shared stories with Caro. Suddenly, Shen Mi appeared behind them, startling Tian Tian. Shen Mi, noticing Tian Tian releasing a lantern, remembered it was the Water Lantern Festival and bought a similar lantern. They shared their secrets, and just as Tian Tian was about to reveal more, Shen Chen arrived, prompting Shen Mi to remain silent. Tian Tian explained that Shen Chen's presence solved the accommodation issue, as Shen Mi and Shen Chen could stay together. Shen Mi was speechless.

Back at the hotel, Tian Tian found herself excitedly recalling the scene by the river where Shen Mi held her. Meanwhile, Shen Mi and Shen Chen, upon meeting, started arguing. The next morning, Shen Mi and Tian Tian attended the Animal Medicine Summit, but Shen Chen's phones were switched off, causing him to jump out of bed fearing they had left him behind.

Feeling bored at the summit, Tian Tian was surprised when Shen Mi signed her up for a pet emergency competition, and she ended up winning an award. Shen Chen, lacking an invitation, was rejected and unexpectedly encountered Han Mengnan. Not wanting Han Mengnan to see Shen Mi, Tian Tian, and him together, Shen Chen covered for them, allowing Shen Mi and Tian Tian to go out for a meal.

During dinner, they discussed green mango salad, triggering Shen Mi's memories. He suggested taking Tian Tian somewhere after the meal. Meanwhile, Shen Chen directly told Han Mengnan that he liked Tian Tian, exposing Han Mengnan's feelings for Shen Mi and proposing an alliance. He also warned Caro not to disclose this information.

After arriving at the destination, Shen Mi cleared the weeds, offered green mangoes, and introduced his only friend, Gao Zhuo. They had been living there for eight years. Shen Mi shared his childhood and the reasons for coming to this place with Tian Tian.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian shared their childhood stories of leaving home after Shen Mi's father passed away. Fortunately, Gao Zhuo shared half of his bread with Shen Mi, and the two experienced freedom and joy. Despite the hardships, Shen Mi now recalls it with happiness. Tian Tian cautiously asked Shen Mi what happened to Gao Zhuo later. It turns out that Gao Zhuo had used all his money because Shen Mi wanted to go on a sea adventure. They happily set sail but encountered an accident. Gao Zhuo got into trouble while trying to save Shen Mi, and by the time they reached the hospital, it was too late. Shen Mi later buried his ashes in their favorite place, but he still felt guilty. Tian Tian comforted him, thanking Gao Zhuo for saving Shen Mi. However, Shen Mi blamed himself for not revealing the real secret; some things Shen Mi still hadn't spoken about.

On another side, Han Mengnan was drinking alone when two people approached her. Fortunately, Dr. Gu appeared in time to save Mengnan. However, she refused to go back to her room and insisted on continuing to drink. Dr. Gu had no choice but to accompany her. Mengnan talked about her disappearance with Shen Mi and the changes in Shen Mi later. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and Dr. Gu guided Mengnan to let go of her worries. While teasing Dr. Gu for being naive, Mengnan took out her prepared gift, reassuring him that it wasn't a ring in the small box. Mengnan smiled, and Dr. Gu could see through her thoughts.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian had just returned to the hotel when Shen Chen complained that they didn't care about him. Tian Tian suddenly received a video showing a crowd surrounding the entrance of Tian Lin. She quickly called Tian Peilan to understand what was happening, and Tian Peilan said the hospital was about to be demolished, urging Tian Tian and Shen Mi to return quickly. Mengnan, just waking up, saw a message from Dr. Gu inviting her to breakfast. Not caring much, she exited the chat and opened Shen Mi's chat box, discovering a message saying he had returned to the country and then left. Mengnan seemed to be contemplating something, looking at the gift Dr. Gu gave her. After dressing up, she went to have breakfast with Dr. Gu, intentionally wearing the earrings he had given her. Mengnan asked Dr. Gu if he could accompany her somewhere, and he agreed. After finishing breakfast, they set off. Dr. Gu asked where they were going, and Mengnan suddenly remembered sharing her location with Shen Mi at his house. However, Mengnan didn't say anything, just mentioning that they would arrive soon. Following the navigation, Mengnan arrived at the tree where Shen Mi had taken Tian Tian. Looking at the stone under the tree with two engraved years, one of them being the day Shen Mi returned to the country, Mengnan didn't understand the significance but still took a photo. She warned Dr. Gu not to mention this matter, especially to Shen Mi, for some reason unknown to Dr. Gu, he agreed.

Tian Tian and Shen Mi rushed to the hospital upon their return to the country. Tian Tian declared herself as the director of Tian Lin and brought the troublemakers to the office. Meanwhile, Shen Mi learned about the situation. Online, people were criticizing Old Chen for colluding with the unscrupulous owner of Pangu Kennel, causing the death of the pet Beibei. Shen Chen suddenly remembered meeting Sister Ju that day when she left Tian Lin. On that day, Sister Ju brought Beibei for an examination, and although everything seemed fine, infectious diseases have an incubation period. Dr. Chen had explained it, but Sister Ju, influenced by the kennel owner, left directly. Later, when Beibei had problems, it was Dr. Chen who saved him, and Sister Ju was present. She insisted that the hospital would not survive if the problem was revealed. One day, Sister Ju saw the kennel owner giving Dr. Chen a red envelope! Tian Tian directly confronted Dr. Chen, with Sister Ju witnessing everything. After Sister Ju left, Tian Tian revealed it was just a play. Dr. Chen then recounted the confrontation with Mr. Fei, but Tian Tian realized that the two stories didn't match at all. Although Tian Peilan could confirm that Dr. Chen had mentioned the incubation period of infectious diseases that day, the situation was still unclear. Just then, they heard a commotion outside, and it turned out Sister Ju was taking Carlo away, threatening Tian Lin to apologize publicly!

Sister Ju was extremely angry, insisting that Tian Lin publicly apologize. Others quickly tried to persuade Sister Ju, expressing regret for Beibei's passing. They acknowledged the unfortunate incident but emphasized that the dog couldn't be brought back. They hoped Sister Ju could state her demands so they could resolve the matter quickly, as it would benefit neither side. Shen Mi also spoke up. Surprisingly, Sister Ju recognized Shen Mi and threatened to involve Lü Chuan in the matter. She claimed there were backers behind Tian Lin's actions. Shen Mi, angered, vowed to confront the issue and face the consequences, even if it meant ruining Tian Lin. After hearing this, Sister Ju left in a huff.

Shen Mi wasn't bothered by the situation at all. Instead, he was grooming Carlo. Tian Tian was anxious, but Shen Mi proudly stated that he hadn't lost a lawsuit since he became aware of Lü Chuan. Still concerned, Tian Tian asked why Sister Ju and Dr. Chen had such a significant discrepancy in their stories. Shen Mi explained that Sister Ju placed herself on a moral high ground, forgetting Dr. Chen's explanation about the incubation period of infectious diseases. In her mind, the test results were fine initially. They continued discussing the matter when Shen Chen arrived with the news—Sister Ju had issued an ultimatum with a new article!

Shen Chen and Tian Tian, unable to sit still, took a recorder and went to confront the owner of the kennel, Mr. Fei. They were determined to extract the truth, but Mr. Fei had already seen the online comments about Tian Lin. As a shrewd businessperson, he wasn't easily fooled. Despite Tian Tian and Shen Chen recounting the conversation with him and Chen Yifan, Mr. Fei didn't divulge anything. Disheartened, they left. Meanwhile, Shen Mi and Carlo were playing when the doorbell rang. Shen Mi opened it to find Han Mengnan. She entered without a word, seemingly searching for something. Shen Mi, puzzled, told her that Tian Tian wasn't there. Han Mengnan chuckled, realizing that Shen Mi knew whom she was looking for!

Han Mengnan then questioned Shen Mi about Gao Zhuo. Hearing those two words, Shen Mi became alert, demanding to know how Mengnan knew about him. Mengnan recounted the day when Shen Mi took Tian Tian to pay respects, revealing that she opened the location sharing. Angry, Shen Mi disregarded Mengnan's distress. In Mengnan's eyes, she couldn't understand why Shen Mi changed after turning eighteen. Shen Mi was unwilling to reveal secrets to her but was willing to share them with a woman he'd known for only three months. Shen Mi stated that he had never liked Mengnan and left. Back home, Mengnan asked her father if he knew Gao Zhuo. Han's father explained that Gao Zhuo was Shen Mi's friend in Thailand who had already passed away. Mengnan finally understood why Shen Mi was so angry.

Tian Lin was still in chaos. Shen Chen and Tian Tian went to Sister Ju's house but were turned away by security. In the underground garage, they met Shen Mi, who, after investigating, discovered that Sister Ju had a Border Collie a few years ago. After its death, Sister Ju took a long time to find Beibei. Now, she was unwilling to accept the reality. The three realized they needed to find a Border Collie to replace Beibei. Dr. Chen went to the kennel to find Mr. Fei, gaining his trust before chaining them together. They planned to bring Mr. Fei to Sister Ju. Meanwhile, Shen Mi found a suitable Border Collie and rushed to Sister Ju's house. The dog seemed to calm Sister Ju, and the situation was resolved. Sister Ju shared the story of Beibei, and just as they finished, Dr. Chen and Mr. Fei arrived. Seeing the two bound together, everyone was bewildered. Sister Ju sincerely apologized, and the matter was finally resolved.

Shen Mi asked Tian Tian what lesson they could learn from this situation. He realized that Tian Lin's leaders lacked the ability to handle problems promptly. Shen Mi expressed that he couldn't always be there to help them. Tian Tian, suddenly emotional, and Shen Mi envisioned the initial purpose of veterinary medicine.

Tian Tian held her little dog doll in her arms at night, involuntarily recalling the past with Zai Zai. Those scenes flashed through Tian Tian's mind, and her father always believed that Tian Tian would be a great veterinarian when she grew up. At that time, Tian Tian could discuss medical issues with her father while playing with yarn. Although Tian Tian was still young at that time, now she couldn't pick up a surgical knife. This was a knot in Tian Tian's heart. While thinking, Tian Tian took out the surgical kit she used for practice and simulated surgery on the little dog doll. However, memories of Zai Zai's surgery kept haunting her, and Tian Tian couldn't bring herself to do it.

The storm in Tian Lin has passed, but the initial performance has not been achieved. Tian Tian and Tian Peilan came across the clarification report written by Jujie. However, the attention on the clarification report was not high. It seemed that people were more interested in scandals. This incident could serve as a warning to pet lovers. After all, there are many things to pay attention to when buying pets. Tian Tian suddenly thought of collaborating with some reputable kennels. This would be beneficial for both parties. Tian Peilan was worried about encountering people like Manager Fei, but Tian Tian insisted that as long as they find reputable ones, it would be fine. They also have a demand for pet hospitals. Tian Tian was motivated to achieve good performance!

Excited, Tian Tian shared her ideas about the kennels with Shen Mi. Shen Mi brought up the incident when Tian Tian contacted a charity organization. Shen Mi wasn't trying to discourage Tian Tian but wanted to remind her to be cautious about safety. Tian Tian suggested that Shen Mi accompany her, but Shen Mi had to work on the recent financial report for Green River and declined. Tian Tian then suggested asking Shen Chen to go together, but Shen Mi flatly refused, leaving Tian Tian puzzled.

Shen Chen and Tian Yuxian complained about their methods of pursuing Tian Tian. Tian Yuxian was all about gaming and remembered that Shen Chen initially said he would play offline games with him but hadn't followed through. Tian Yuxian felt somewhat dissatisfied. At this moment, Tian Tian approached Tian Yuxian to accompany her in discussing cooperation with the kennel owner. It turned out that Dr. Chen was busy with surgery. Tian Yuxian asked Shen Chen if he could follow up on what he mentioned earlier. After receiving a positive answer, Tian Yuxian's stomach suddenly hurt, and he rushed to the restroom. With Tian Yuxian occupied, Shen Chen naturally accompanied Tian Tian to discuss cooperation.

They went to various places with flyers, but not many people paid attention, and they even struggled to distribute a few flyers. Encouraging each other, they finally reached a kennel that was willing to sit down and talk. Despite the enthusiasm of Shen Chen and Tian Tian, the kennel owner showed no intention of signing a contract. Instead, he proposed continuing to explore elsewhere. They met a little girl who liked a dog licking the stairs. The owner said the dog was fine, but Tian Tian, after a basic examination, discovered that the dog had rickets. This unexpected move impressed the owner, and the cooperation was successfully negotiated. Tian Tian and Shen Mi boasted about their achievements, but Shen Mi said the results were not good and suggested Tian Tian come up with solutions herself.

After returning, Tian Tian noticed that Dr. Gu's online presence was impressive. This gave her the idea to invite Dr. Gu to come and consult. The next day, Tian Tian went to Green River on her own. Shen Mi was in a meeting, so Tian Tian took the opportunity to find Dr. Gu, proposing the idea of him sitting in for a few days. Shen Mi, under pressure from his uncle, didn't realize Tian Tian was also there until the meeting ended. Han Mengnan wanted to introduce her grandfather to Dr. Gu. Dr. Gu misunderstood Shen Mi's investment intentions towards Tian Tian. When they coincidentally met, Grandpa asked about Shen Mi's health, and Tian Tian adeptly responded. Dr. Gu and Han Mengnan also joined the conversation, discussing dogs and other unrelated topics, creating a strange atmosphere. Dr. Gu, after hearing Han Mengnan's explanation, learned that Tian Tian was Shen Mi's personal doctor. Shen Chen looked for Tian Tian but couldn't find her. He asked Tian Peilan, who revealed that Tian Tian had gone to see Dr. Gu. After seeing off Grandpa, Tian Tian immediately apologized to Shen Mi. Dr. Gu and Han Mengnan had dinner at a convenience store, but Dr. Gu didn't mention Tian Tian's visit or talk much about her.

The next day, Tian Tian was surprised to find many people at work in Tian Lin. It turned out that Dr. Gu was providing consultations there. Tian Tian was happy, and Tian Lin became busy again!

Shen Mi was surprised to find that Gu Mingze was also at Tian Lin. He immediately pulled Tian Tian into the office and asked her if Dr. Gu had mentioned that day's incident. Tian Tian honestly replied that he hadn't, considering it a stroke of luck. Tian Lin was busy, so Tian Tian didn't talk much with Shen Mi. After a few words, she went out, leaving Shen Mi and Carlo standing there bewildered.

Tian Lin was filled with Dr. Gu's life-size standees. When Dr. Gu was about to leave, Tian Tian was about to escort him out. Tian Peilan suggested inviting Dr. Gu for a meal to express gratitude. Dr. Gu mentioned having experimental data to work on and declined. As they watched Dr. Gu leave, Tian Peilan suddenly changed her mind, seeing a scene where Dr. Gu and Tian Tian seemed well-matched. Tian Tian was speechless. Tian Tian was very concerned about today's turnover and was excited to learn that it was 150% of the previous day's. Shen Mi, discussing Dr. Gu's matters with Shen Chen, informed him that Dr. Gu was interested in Tian Tian. Shen Chen, now aware of everything, insisted that Shen Mi was his biggest competitor. Shen Mi, curious about their strange behavior, tried to understand, but Shen Chen wasn't keen on explaining.

Shen Chen went home and told his father about Dr. Gu's visit to Tian Lin, even showing Dr. Gu's standee photos. The next day, Dr. Gu used the excuse of being busy at the Green River laboratory to sit in at Tian Lin. Shen Chen added fuel to the fire, saying that some people at Tian Lin didn't want to see Dr. Gu. Shen Mi walked in, surprised by the low turnout at the hospital that day. In the office, Tian Tian directly questioned Shen Mi if he had anything to do with this. Shen Mi calmly analyzed the day's performance, stating that most were fans of Gu Mingze, and there weren't many actual clients. This statement left Tian Tian speechless, unable to argue.

Tian Tian's father's health was not as good as before. Fortunately, Tian Tian arrived in time to prevent him from falling. Her father asked about the expert consultation at Tian Lin and wondered why she was back at this time. He also inquired about Tian Tian's relationship with Shen Mi. Her father mentioned that encountering challenges at work was not necessarily a bad thing, recalling his own experiences during the internship. Tian Tian was once again inspired, determined to prove herself to Shen Mi!

Shen Mi, organizing something, remembered the incident in Thailand. He then instructed someone to prepare all the collaboration data with Green River and Thailand. Outside, he encountered Dr. Gu looking for targeted drug data. Shen Mi helped him, and they played table tennis together. They discussed the original intentions of developing new drugs. Dr. Gu finally understood that Shen Mi wasn't as rumored. Regarding Tian Tian's situation, there were still some misunderstandings, but Dr. Gu had many questions. Han Shu questioned Shen Mi about his recent big moves, and their views on the truth seemed to differ.

Dr. Gu showed the data to Shen Mi's uncle, revealing an issue with one clinical case—although the treatment was effective, there were significant side effects. Shen Mi's uncle wasn't concerned, but Dr. Gu was worried. To solve the problem, they needed to obtain a patent. Shen Mi agreed. Tian Tian was still worried about the performance, and Tian Peilan mentioned chatting with someone who had seen the owner of Pangu Kennel. Tian Tian decided to navigate there. When Dr. Chen noticed the electric scooter missing, Tian Tian had already ridden it for a while. Shen Mi, upon learning this, hurried to find Tian Tian. Her phone and scooter were both out of battery. They encountered a wild boar and hid. Shen Mi appeared just in time to protect Tian Tian, realizing it was a misunderstanding.

The two were invited to the farmer's home. The pig that caused the misunderstanding was sent back. Suddenly, the pig had a problem and collapsed. Tian Tian quickly assessed the situation but lacked medicine. Shen Mi remembered the veterinary station and suggested calling her father for some common medicine. After getting the proportions, they quickly dealt with the situation. In the evening, the farmer surprisingly arranged a bed for both of them!

Shen Mi and Tian Tian stood back to back, discussing the matter of a little pig. In the middle of the night, Tian Tian woke up to find Shen Mi not in bed. Subsequently, she got up, put on clothes, and went out to look for Shen Mi. They sat on chairs, enjoying the night lights. Shen Mi recalled the events with Gao Zhuo, while Tian Tian talked about Shen Mi. They exchanged thoughts, comforting each other. Tian Tian proposed a bet: whoever lets go of the past and starts anew first wins. They hooked their pinkies and sealed the deal!

The next morning, when they woke up, Tian Tian opened her eyes to see Shen Mi's face. Someone came to call them for breakfast, and they awkwardly turned away without saying a word. Later, they went out for breakfast. The old lady informed them that her husband had gone to catch the chickens they were raising. She also introduced nearby places where city people liked to visit. Shen Mi and Tian Tian explained that they weren't here for leisure; they were looking for a large dog kennel to collaborate with. However, they were not given a chance to meet the owner. Upon hearing the name of the kennel as "Pang Hu Dog Kennel," the old lady laughed and hurriedly called her husband. It turned out that their son was friends with Pang Hu! The old man called the owner directly, and Shen Mi and Tian Tian's hearts were separated.

Uncle Shen Mi's assistant reported that Dr. Gu's desired patent wasn't settled, not due to the price but because the other party refused outright, knowing it was for targeted drug research. Uncle Shen Mi seemed to be pondering something.

Tian Tian and Shen Mi finally returned to Tian Lin, and gossip started circulating. Shen Chen, upon hearing it, felt uneasy, fearing that Shen Mi and Tian Tian were together behind his back. Dr. Chen looked baffled at his electric scooter. Shen Mi wanted to leave but was stopped by Shen Chen. They had a tussle, witnessed by Chen Yifan from afar, who was very confused about their relationship. Uncle Shen Mi found Dr. Gu, hoping he would participate in the promotion of some targeted drugs. Dr. Gu pledged full support for research but refused to be involved in self-promotion. Facing accusations about his relationship with Mengnan, Dr. Gu decisively stated his position and then left! That night, Tian Tian recalled what Shen Mi had said and quietly practiced using a surgical knife again!

The next day at work, Chen Yifan found Tian Peilan to gossip, revealing that he had discovered Shen Chen was Shen Mi's younger brother. Tian Peilan, disbelieving, insisted it was impossible. Chen Yifan, not wanting to hear more, left. Shen Chen discussed Tian Tian's situation with Dr. Tian Yuxian, who insisted on taking the next step when meeting the gaming guru Xing Tao. At this moment, Wen Jing came looking for Shen Chen, revealing a serious patient's case. Shen Chen, Dr. Chen, and Tian Tian were present. Shen Chen quickly diagnosed it as uremia caused by renal failure. Euthanasia seemed the best solution, but the family was unwilling to give up.

Shen Chen took Tian Yuxian to a gathering where he finally met Xing Tao. However, it was through a video conference. Tian Yuxian was still very happy, and everyone insisted Xing Tao was on-site. Surprisingly, he came out in a wheelchair! Although he claimed to be fine, his condition was terrible. He had been diagnosed with advanced-stage brain tumor, almost blind now. Xing Tao and his mother encouraged each other. Hearing this, everyone was deeply moved. Xing Tao said he didn't want to burden his mother and hoped she could pursue her own life. Xing Tao's last wish was to take Sunny back, and he collapsed after saying it. Tian Yuxian found out that the dog with renal failure was Sunny, and Tian Yuxian and Shen Chen decided to help Xing Tao!

Shen Chen managed to send Tian Tian away and prepared the peritoneal dialysis equipment. However, when they were about to leave with Sunny, they discovered that Sunny had no signs of life. Xing Tao's mother arrived and, after learning the situation, found out that Xing Tao wanted to take Sunny back to the sea of his childhood.

Xing Tao's mother continued to talk about Xing Tao's childhood. It turned out that Sunny grew up by the seaside, eating leftovers from fishermen. By fate, Sunny saved Xing Tao, who had a near-death experience. Later, due to Xing Tao's mother's job transfer and the desire for a better living environment, they moved. Xing Tao noticed that Sunny always stared at the seaside on the TV. Xing Tao determined to bring Sunny back to that beach someday. However, Xing Tao's mother never agreed, and despite Xing Tao's efforts, when he finally earned some money after graduating from college through gaming, an unexpected incident occurred. Just as they were about to embark on their journey, Xing Tao collapsed. He couldn't return to his hometown, and Xing Tao's mother was deeply saddened.

Xing Tao's final wish was to take Sunny to see the sea. Tian Yuxian planned to fulfill Xing Tao's wish ahead of time but realized that Fucheng had no sea. After checking, Tian Peilan found that the nearest place, Longfu Mountain, would take four hours to reach, and there were no available flights. After some thought, Tian Yuxian decided to use magic to create a sea! Then, they started their operation. Xing Tao's mother told Xing Tao to rest for a while since the plane journey might be uncomfortable. When Xing Tao opened his eyes again, he saw the sea magically created by Tian Yuxian and others. Xing Tao was excited, thinking he had really gone back. Eventually, with the help of a nurse, Xing Tao struggled to stand up. When Xing Tao realized the truth, he wanted to hug Sunny, but after touching it, he realized it wasn't Sunny. Xing Tao thanked everyone and then collapsed.

This incident made everyone feel the impermanence of life. Tian Yuxian encouraged Shen Chen to confess his feelings to Tian Tian as soon as possible and decided to take Shen Chen to meet his parents in the evening. At this moment, Wen Jing came to call everyone for a meeting. It turned out that the three-month agreement between Tian Tian and Shen Mi had expired, and the hospital hadn't achieved the profit target. According to the agreement, everyone except Tian Tian would be fired. Tian Tian declared that she could take all the responsibility. Subsequently, everyone stood up to share the responsibility. After listening quietly, Shen Mi commented on each person. In the end, Shen Mi, except for Shen Chen, expressed that he felt the human touch Tian Tian mentioned, and the dismissal matter was resolved.

Shen Chen received a call from his mother asking him to come home for dinner in the evening, so the meeting with Tian Tian's parents had to be postponed. Shen Mi and Shen Chen both rushed home! Han Mengnan found Dr. Gu to inquire if Dr. Gu had approached Shen Hongyuan for cooperation in the legal department. Dr. Gu stated that he had already refused! Shen Hongyuan, at the grandfather and Han Shu's place, also mentioned the legal department not cooperating with the work. The grandfather bluntly said it wasn't the time to discuss this matter today. Han Mengnan arrived early and chatted with Shen Mi's mother. Shen Mi and Shen Chen arrived later, and the topic shifted to Shen Mi and Han Mengnan's relationship. Han Mengnan frankly stated that she felt inferior to Dr. Xiaotian in Shen Mi's eyes, and Shen Mi didn't say much, only mentioning that Dr. Xiaotian was his personal doctor.

During the family dinner, they discussed the release of the new drug. Grandpa specifically suggested that Han Mengnan cooperate with Dr. Gu in the development of the new drug. When everyone in the Tianlin family was enthusiastic, they also encouraged Shen Chen with some uplifting words. However, Shen Chen remained silent. It turned out that Shen Chen had lost a bet to Shen Mi, and as a result, he couldn't speak to Tian Tian for three days. Tian Tian thought it was because Shen Chen's throat was uncomfortable and didn't pay much attention to it.

In the evening, Shen Chen went to complain to Shen Mi. He directly asked to cancel the bet, only to find out that Grandpa was at home. Shen Chen was immediately dragged inside. Later, Shen Mi called Tian Tian, asking her to come over every day, so Tian Tian had to change her address. After Tian Tian arrived, she and Shen Mi exchanged glances and realized what was going on. When they entered, Grandpa mentioned that Shen Mi had a younger brother. Tian Tian was curious about where the younger brother was, and Shen Chen hid in the bathroom, too afraid to come out. Later, Tian Tian pretended to give Shen Mi a checkup but was slightly rough.

Shen Mi pulled Tian Tian into the room to check her blood pressure. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Shen Mi laughed because Tian Tian had just used her hands to check her heartbeat. Shen Chen, seizing the opportunity, came out. Grandpa suggested that Shen Chen could meet Dr. Xiaotian. Thinking the two had left, Shen Chen heard them entering the room to measure blood pressure. When Tian Tian reported the blood pressure, Shen Chen immediately retreated to his room to play with Carlo.

Later, Shen Mi and Tian Tian came out. At this point, Grandpa suddenly felt discomfort in his heart. Tian Tian rushed to help with water. Shen Mi, unaware of Grandpa's heart problem, learned it was an old ailment. Grandpa suggested that Tian Tian should stay with Shen Mi because of his heart condition. Although Uncle Han thought it was inconvenient for a man and a woman to live together, Shen Chen, hiding in the bathroom, couldn't speak about his predicament. Grandpa explained that he was genuinely concerned about Shen Mi's health. As Grandpa started feeling unwell, Tian Tian worried, and in the end, despite the awkwardness, Grandpa decided they would stay together. He warned them not to deceive him, as he would visit from time to time. After he left, Uncle Han revealed that he understood Grandpa's intentions, admitting he could only help to a certain extent. Tian Tian and Shen Mi felt awkward, and Shen Mi said Tian Tian needed to discuss this with her parents. Tian Tian left, and Shen Chen, who came out later, scolded Shen Mi as despicable, but couldn't express his true feelings.

The next day, Shen Chen told Tian Yuxian about the incident, stating that Shen Mi was too despicable. Tian Tian also discussed it with Tian Peilan, who exclaimed it was too sweet. Only Tian Tian knew how awkward the situation was. Tian Peilan suggested telling her parents that Tian Tian was staying at the hospital. Tian Tian was skeptical but had no other option. That evening, when Tian Tian returned home, she found Tian Yuxian massaging her dad's legs, her mom greeting her, and Shen Chen coming out of the kitchen with dishes. Shen Chen was hospitable at the dinner table, even buying gifts for Tian Tian's parents. After a pleasant exchange, Shen Chen asked if Tian Tian had packed her things. Tian Tian's parents were confused, and only after Shen Chen left did they inquire about the situation. Tian Yuxian quickly explained, praising Shen Chen. Tian Tian's father didn't object much, saying grandchildren bring their own blessings.

The next day, with her luggage, Tian Tian moved to Shen Mi's house. They explored where Tian Tian could stay, ruling out the living room, Carlo's room, and Shen Mi's bedroom. In the end, Tian Tian reluctantly chose the sofa. Bringing lots of instant food, Tian Tian discovered the fridge was already well-stocked. The two began their cohabitation. Before Tian Tian arrived at the hospital, gossip had already spread in Tianlin. Shen Chen's jealousy was evident, and everyone teased him. Dr. Gu, under Han Mengnan's arrangement, started promoting the new drug. The host focused on Dr. Gu's relationship, and an argument erupted between the host and Han Mengnan. Dr. Gu took Han Mengnan away.

At the hotel entrance, Dr. Gu invited Han Mengnan to dinner, but she declined. Instead, they went fencing, and Dr. Gu was surprised to find out Han Mengnan had been practicing for six years. Meanwhile, at Shen Mi's house, Tian Tian prepared a meal, including pickled green mango made by her mom. Shen Mi couldn't bear the taste but tried it, eventually vomiting in the bathroom. An apology from Tian Tian followed. Dr. Gu drove Han Mengnan home, and they enjoyed the music in silence. In the room, Tian Tian apologized to Shen Mi, who forgave her. They ended up watching a movie in the living room with the lights off, creating a scary atmosphere. This scared Shen Mi, and Carlo's lick made him jump up.

The next morning, Shen Mi had a headache and felt uncomfortable when meeting Uncle Han. Uncle Han suggested keeping a distance from Tian Tian, not revealing unnecessary information to her.

When Shen Mi returned home, Tian Tian asked him to help set up a folding screen, and there was also a new wardrobe Tian Tian had bought. Shen Mi jokingly remarked that Tian Tian was playing house at his place. Afterward, Shen Mi went back to his room and discovered his clothes were missing. He asked Tian Tian what happened, and she explained that she put the clothes in the wardrobe after they had dried. Shen Mi, angered that Tian Tian touched his wardrobe, scolded her. Feeling guilty, Tian Tian thanked Shen Mi for reminding her that this was his home and promised not to touch his things again. She left after that.

Shen Mi immediately checked his wardrobe and was relieved to find nothing had been moved. It reminded him of the person under the tree in Thailand who claimed to be Shen Mi, with Gao Zhuo buried under the tree. Reflecting on the harsh words he had said to Tian Tian, Shen Mi felt uneasy. Meanwhile, Tian Tian walked away, cursing Shen Mi, feeling wronged as she had only intended to be helpful. Shen Mi sat down, recalling what Tian Tian had said under the tree in Thailand and their bet. Carlo was quietly present. Suddenly, Carlo ran to the door, barking continuously, and then returned to Shen Mi. Shen Mi didn't understand what was happening. Thunder roared outside, followed by heavy rain. Tian Tian was standing by the roadside, struggling to get a taxi as the passing cars hurried past. Shen Mi, worried, went out, calling Tian Tian's name. Tian Tian tried using a ride-hailing app, but Shen Mi kept calling her, making her anxious. Eventually, Shen Mi found Tian Tian. When Tian Tian realized it was Shen Mi, she instinctively stepped back. Shen Mi offered an umbrella, but Tian Tian refused, bursting into tears. Seeing this, Shen Mi hugged Tian Tian and took her home.

Back home, Tian Tian went to take a shower, and Shen Mi, considerate, made ginger soup. When Tian Tian came out, Shen Mi was assembling her wardrobe. Drinking the ginger soup, Tian Tian felt warm inside. That night, while trying to sleep, Tian Tian couldn't forget the scene of Shen Mi holding her and saying, "Let's go home." The next morning, the alarm woke Tian Tian up, and she got ready for work, even helping Shen Mi fetch water and squeeze toothpaste. After that, she cautiously knocked on Shen Mi's door. Since there was no response, Tian Tian, thinking something had happened to Shen Mi, entered the room and found him sweating. She touched him and realized Shen Mi had a fever. Tian Tian called her aunt, explained the situation, and took a day off. Tian Peilan was delighted, predicting that their relationship would deepen during this time. Chen Yifan, feeling uncomfortable, heard this. Meanwhile, Shen Chen was helped out by Tian Yuxian due to food poisoning.

Once outside, Shen Chen quickly recovered. He was worried about what might happen between Tian Tian and Shen Mi, deciding to rush to Shen Mi's house. Under Tian Tian's care, Shen Mi was improving. When he regained consciousness, he started teasing Tian Tian, saying he was fine and asking her to leave. As Tian Tian left, Shen Mi felt hurt and said he was a patient, wondering why Tian Tian just walked away. However, Tian Tian was genuinely concerned about Shen Mi. When Shen Mi went to find Tian Tian, she happened to be in the bathroom. Shen Mi returned to his room, feeling hungry. He ended up drinking the congee that Tian Tian had cooked. Later, when Tian Tian was helping Shen Mi with laundry, someone knocked on the door. Seeing it was Shen Chen, Shen Mi closed the door, telling Tian Tian it was an insurance salesman. He then asked Tian Tian to handwash the clothes, and Shen Chen was sent away, leaving Shen Mi feeling triumphant.

Han Mengnan helped her grandfather pick up Old Ma and ordered a meal. Meanwhile, Tian Tian and Shen Mi were preparing hot pot at home when the dishes Han Mengnan ordered suddenly arrived. It turned out Grandpa wanted to treat Old Ma at Shen Mi's house. Shen Mi and Tian Tian immediately tidied up the room. As Tian Tian was about to leave, the doorbell rang. Tian Tian had to hide and accidentally ended up in the room where the hot pot was concealed. Shen Mi and Han Mengnan chatted with Grandpa outside. Han Mengnan was anxious to discuss business matters, but the awkward situation persisted. Grandpa needed to use the restroom and accidentally entered the room where Tian Tian was hiding. They ended up sharing hot pot and pickled green mango. Grandpa said he always craved this taste when abroad. Han Mengnan, who unintentionally walked in, felt uneasy witnessing the scene. Later, she accompanied Grandpa back to the hotel. Grandpa was delighted, holding the green mango pickles Tian Tian gave him!

Han Mengnan escorted Grandpa Ma back to the hotel. Seeing Grandpa Ma happily holding the pickled vegetables given by Tian Tian, Han Mengnan felt uneasy. However, in order to secure Grandpa Ma's investment for Shen Mi, Han Mengnan forced a smile, even though the Western meal and symphony she had carefully prepared earlier did not please Grandpa Ma. After Grandpa Ma left, Han Mengnan felt sad alone. She couldn't help but recall the childhood memory when Shen Mi gave her a ring and said he would marry her when they grew up. Despite her efforts, all she got from Shen Mi now was a statement that they could never be together. Feeling even sadder, Mengnan called Gu Mingze directly!

After arriving at Dr. Gu's house, Han Mengnan and Gu Mingze listened to their favorite music. When asked what she wanted to drink, Mengnan immediately requested alcohol. Despite pouring her very little, Mengnan got drunk. She spoke about her inner sorrows, expressing that Gu Mingze could only offer companionship. Mengnan accused Gu Mingze of deceiving her, as the troubles they agreed to discard still lingered. Tearfully, Mengnan called Gu Mingze out, and Dr. Gu, feeling sorry, wiped away her tears. The two locked eyes, and in the heat of the moment, Mengnan tried to retreat, but after regaining composure, Dr. Gu kissed her, though he restrained himself, and Mengnan eventually fell asleep.

The next morning, Mengnan woke up in Gu Mingze's house, remembering the events of the previous night. However, her clothes were intact. Outside, she found a table full of breakfast prepared by Gu Mingze. Despite Gu Mingze proclaiming he didn't eat breakfast, Mengnan decided to forget everything and left. Her emotions remained unsettled after leaving the house. Tian Tian announced that Tian Lin had finally turned a profit, and the team decided to celebrate. When it came to who would foot the bill, everyone pointed to Shen Mi. Shen Mi claimed innocence, and Shen Chen proposed a good idea. Shen Chen and Tian Yuxian exchanged a smile, and the group set off.

It turned out to be an escape room challenge. After getting ready, the group listened to the non-player character introduce the script and rules. Shen Chen, having informed the organizer beforehand, had a plan: as soon as Shen Mi's number tag was torn off once, he would be absent for the entire game! Shen Chen, unsurprisingly, grouped himself with Tian Tian, claiming to protect her. Amidst the chaos, Shen Mi accidentally swapped his number tag with Shen Chen's. In the end, Shen Mi and Tian Tian found the USB drive, completing the mission, while Shen Chen was locked away by non-players!

Dr. Gu and Mengnan continued their promotion of the new drug. Dr. Gu wanted to decline an interview due to personal reasons, but Mengnan reacted strongly. Misunderstood, Dr. Gu expressed his belief that their understanding would deepen after that night, but Mengnan's reaction was even more intense. She declared that their relationship was strictly professional, not even reaching the level of friends, and left. Watching her depart, Dr. Gu felt disheartened. Later, Dr. Gu asked Shen Hongyuan about the patent and, after a negative response, realized Shen Hongyuan's true nature. Eventually, Dr. Gu resigned. Han Mengnan, aware of this, remembered the harsh words she had said to him. She immediately called Gu Mingze, who was at the Tian Lin office, in front of Shen Mi!

Gu Mingze abruptly hung up the call, discussing business matters with Shen Mi. Shen Mi insisted on caution, Tian Tian claimed to have a solution, and Shen Chen insisted on accompanying Tian Tian. Upon arrival, Tian Tian, climbing a wall, noticed signs of a past fire inside and realized the place had been abandoned for a long time. A dog appeared and barked wildly at them. Tian Tian noticed a problem with the dog's neck. With the help of Chen Yifan and Tian Yuxian, Tian Tian brought the dog back to Tian Lin and promptly treated its neck.

The collar on the dog's neck is embedded in the flesh. After arriving at Tianlin, everyone immediately took care of the dog. Due to the inflammation of the wound, the dog's condition was not very good. Thanks to everyone's care, there was slow improvement. At this time, Shen Mi came to call Tian Tian, asking how the dog was. Tian Tian thought he was asking about the dog, but Shen Mi was asking about Professor Guo. Tian Tian insisted that doing good deeds would bring good results and that she would soon find Professor Guo. Shen Mi bluntly stated that Professor Guo had already been found. Shen Mi asked Tian Tian how Dr. Gu Mingze knew Professor Guo. Tian Tian quickly realized that it was the Veterinary Medicine Summit! Later, Shen Mi found the address of Professor Guo through the organizing committee of the Veterinary Medicine Summit.

Tian Tian and Shen Mi set out to find Professor Guo. After calling for a long time, Professor Guo finally opened the door. Professor Guo warmly prepared tea for the two and asked about the purpose of their visit. When he heard that the two also wanted to apply their patents to pets, Professor Guo directly wanted to drive them away. Despite Tian Tian's efforts to persuade him, it was of no use, so the two had to go back first. Back home, Tian Tian was still thinking about why Professor Guo, such an old professor, was unwilling to apply his research results to cute animals. At this time, Tian Tian noticed that Shen Mi seemed not to care at all. Tian Tian couldn't understand why Shen Mi, who was related to the development of Green River's new drug, was not concerned. While eating green mango pickles, Tian Tian chatted with Shen Mi. Shen Mi frankly said that he thought Tian Tian was just worried about Gu Mingze. Tian Tian realized and accused Shen Mi of being jealous. Shen Mi denied it, but Tian Tian thought for a long time and came to a conclusion: there must have been something that Green River did to offend Professor Guo in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't reject it as soon as he heard the name of Green River. Shen Mi believed it was impossible, and the two made a bet. If Tian Tian lost, the green mango pickle could never appear in front of Shen Mi again.

Shen Mi had people check Green River's cooperation agreements over the past decade, and none of them were related to Professor Guo. Tian Tian still insisted that Professor Guo must have a knot in his heart, and the two linked it to post-traumatic sequelae. It might be because of this reason that Professor Guo was so sensitive to pets. At this time, Tian Peilan sent over the dog's tag with some information on it. Tian Tian linked it to her previous observations at Professor Guo's former address and realized what was going on. Then Shen Mi and Tian Tian took the dog to see Professor. They first met Professor Guo's daughter, who had some reactions when she saw Xiaopai, but quickly restrained herself. Then Professor Guo appeared, and his reaction to the dog was even more intense. He said he had never raised a dog before. Tian Tian saw Professor Guo's reaction and was very sad. Shen Mi suggested finding Tian Tian's classmates at Agricultural University could solve the problem because Professor Guo's daughter also studied at Agricultural University!

After finding Professor Guo's daughter, she told the story of that year. It turned out that Xiaopai accidentally knocked over alcohol, causing a fire. Professor Guo lost years of research results because of this, and he also changed his personality. However, Tian Tian knew that Xiaopai was allergic to alcohol and couldn't have played with alcohol. Then Tian Tian talked about being wrongly accused when she was a child. Professor Guo's daughter finally admitted that she accidentally caused the fire that year. Meanwhile, Xiaopai followed Professor Guo. Although Professor Guo always kept a distance from Xiaopai, he would still stand up for Xiaopai when he was bullied. Later, Xiaopai stayed at the door. Professor Guo accidentally suffered from gas poisoning, but fortunately, Xiaopai was there, and Professor Guo was rescued by a neighbor. Later, Professor Guo's daughter explained the incident, and Xiaopai was finally accepted by Professor Guo!

Professor Guo quickly agreed to transfer the patent. Shen Mi also asked Tian Tian to throw away the pickles, but Tian Tian refused. The two argued, and after turning on the TV, there was news about Green River's targeted drug. Both were worried that Gu Mingze might not make it in time. At this time, Gu Mingze was immersed in the laboratory, not even answering Han Mengnan's call! The press conference is about to start, but Gu Mingze still needs a month to succeed. However, for now, he can only rest well and fight this tough battle. Shen Chen also got the special card for the press conference from his father. The press conference is about to begin, and Shen Mi and the three were stopped at the door. Fortunately, Shen Chen appeared in time and brought the work permit. The three cooperated tacitly and prepared to implement the plan!

Tian Tian pretended to be a staff member and directly found Dr. Ren Fei, who was preparing backstage. She informed him that Mr. Shen needed to talk to him and escorted Dr. Ren Fei out of the lounge. Meanwhile, Shen Mi went to the control room and reprimanded the staff, taking the opportunity to insert a USB drive. At this moment, Shen Mi received a message from Tian Tian, and he smiled faintly. Dr. Ren Fei, still clueless, remained in place. Later, the staff reported to Shen Hongyuan that Shen Mi and the other two were stopped outside. Shen Hongyuan confirmed that everything was ready, but when they checked on Dr. Ren Fei, he was no longer in the lounge and was locked in a room!

Shen Hongyuan was unaware of what was happening backstage and proceeded to host the event. He excitedly announced the start of the press conference and invited Dr. Ren Fei on stage, only to be greeted by Shen Mi. Shen Mi smiled but remained silent, then took the microphone to thank Shen Hongyuan for his speech. He jokingly told Shen Hongyuan that if he didn't step down from the stage now, he might not be able to later. Shen Hongyuan had to smile and step down. Later, Shen Mi welcomed Dr. Gu on stage to explain the reason for the postponement of the drug release conference. Dr. Gu then used the presentation slides prepared by Shen Mi to start his speech. Shen Hongyuan, initially shocked, soon became disgruntled, harboring resentment for everything. Meanwhile, Tian Tian and Shen Mi were happily engaged in the event, although they were playfully arguing. During this time, a staff member accidentally tripped on a speed bump while pushing something. To protect Tian Tian, Shen Mi embraced her. After a long gaze into each other's eyes, Shen Mi finally realized what happened and scolded the staff for not noticing even a speed bump. He then helped move the items, exchanged an awkward smile with Tian Tian, and she went back.

At this point, Dr. Gu had just finished his speech, and the response was very positive. Shen Mi specially went on stage to thank Shen Hongyuan. Despite Shen Hongyuan's inner displeasure, he had to respond with a smile. After the event, Shen Hongyuan directly questioned Shen Mi about why he staged such a thing in such an important situation. Before Shen Mi could respond, the elderly father arrived and stated that it was Shen Hongyuan's fault. Shen Hongyuan quickly explained that he had approached Professor Guo, but he refused to give the patent to Green River. The elderly father angrily questioned why Shen Mi's group could obtain it while berating Shen Hongyuan for not knowing how to solve problems. He then removed Shen Hongyuan from the current research project and handed it over to Gu Mingze! At that moment, Gu Mingze chased after Han Mengnan and revealed that he left not because of what she said but because he and Shen Mi had orchestrated a big event together. Han Mengnan was displeased, but Gu Mingze assured her that as long as she calmed down, he would do anything for her. They happily went to play sword fighting together.

The matter of the new drug was entirely handed over to Gu Mingze. The list of trial hospitals had already been released, and Gu Mingze asked if Tianlin was on it. At this point, Shen Hongyuan had learned about Tianlin's inclusion and directly found Liu Shi'an, who assured him that everything had been prepared a week ago and they could now take action. The scene of their conversation happened to be seen by Shen Mi outside the door, but he couldn't hear the specific content.

Everyone was happy that Tianlin was selected as a candidate for the trial hospital, and they gathered to celebrate with a meal. On their way back, they found a new store near Tianlin. Wen Jing casually remarked that as long as it wasn't the same industry, it was fine. However, it turned out to be the same industry, and Shen Mi saw a familiar figure at the scene—Liu Shi'an. After returning home, Tianlin's customers were indeed attracted away by the new store's discount vouchers. Tian Peilan didn't believe it and went to experience it herself, almost being lured away. After returning, they tried to learn from the other store's services, but there was no improvement. To persist, they even offered a 50% discount, but the turnover was almost zero. Finally, Shen Chen, Chen Yifan, and Tian Yuxian found the other store. As soon as Shen Chen saw Liu Shi'an, he slipped away. After hearing the situation from Shen Mi, he said he had already inquired, and it turned out that Shen Hongyuan was secretly investing in it!

The manager of Xi Chong went to report the turnover situation to Shen Hongyuan. Shen Hongyuan expressed disinterest in the matter, stating that as long as they could suppress Tianlin and prevent it from obtaining the qualifications for the trial hospital, he would become the chairman. After all the reports were made, Lao Zhao still hesitated to leave. It turned out there were some things that had to be discussed with Shen Hongyuan. Liu Shian saw Shen Chen and Tianlin's people mingling, and Lao Zhao thought it was necessary to inform Shen Hongyuan. Shen Hongyuan, upon hearing this, became very angry.

Shen Mi held a meeting with Tianlin's team to discuss recent issues. However, everyone remained silent. Shen Mi pointed out that recently, Xi Chong had attracted many of Tianlin's customers, posing a visible problem. The appearance of a competitor was a good thing, indicating that Tianlin could grow. The task at hand was to learn from the competitor. Although everyone understood this principle, they were eager to know what to do next. Shen Mi suggested doing nothing and maintaining stability. On the other hand, Shen Hongyuan directly called back Shen Chen, who was unaware of what had happened and appeared nonchalant. Shen Hongyuan immediately pointed out the problem and questioned why Shen Chen had done it. Shen Chen, without panicking, explained that he had gone undercover to stir things up, hoping that Tianlin would collapse soon. He wanted to ease the burden for his father. Shen Chen's sincerity made Shen Hongyuan hesitate. He expressed willingness to believe his son once again and instructed Shen Chen to promptly report any movements from Tianlin.

In a hospital, an elderly man lay on a hospital bed. As soon as his wife left, he asked the doctor when the latest surgery could be performed. Usually, patients ask if surgery can be moved up, so the doctor suspected he had misheard. The doctor assured him that the surgery would be arranged as soon as possible. In Tianlin's team, everyone was bored and desperate for customers. Tian Peilan frequently went undercover at Xi Chong and even obtained a membership card. Xi Chong's grooming staff had recognized her as part of Tianlin's team but still warmly received her, speaking highly of Tian Peilan. Tian Peilan was charmed. Meanwhile, an elderly woman, having just left the hospital, brought a dog to Tianlin. As soon as she entered, she requested euthanasia for the dog in her arms. She had visited Xi Chong but found their price too high, so she came to Tianlin. Chen Yifan immediately brought Tian Tian over, and after a basic examination, Tian Tian declared that the dog, Da Fu, was healthy and shouldn't be euthanized. The reason for Da Fu's strange behavior was likely a superstition. The woman insisted but left satisfied when Tian Tian refused to comply. However, Tian Peilan was agitated and argued that they shouldn't have done this. Tian Tian reassured her after bringing Da Fu outside.

Later, Tian Peilan went to Xi Chong to request a refund for the membership card. She was intercepted by the staff who had previously done the grooming. Tian Peilan explained the situation with Da Fu, and the staff agreed with her. Surprisingly, Xi Chong later found Tianlin and accused them of deceiving customers. Shen Mi then brought Da Fu out, and the group split into two teams. Shen Mi and Tian Tian went to find the truth, while the others went to rescue Da Fu. At the hospital, Shen Chen also appeared, posing as a doctor and leading the woman away. Tian Tian and Shen Mi entered the hospital room, where the elderly man confessed that he had orchestrated everything himself!

It turns out Aunt Ge's life has been problematic for a while, with forgetfulness and an inability to handle many things independently, leading to mistakes. However, to avoid hurting Aunt Ge's pride, Brother Jiang has been quietly helping her with everything. Unfortunately, Brother Jiang fell ill, leaving Aunt Ge in need of care. Therefore, Brother Jiang told Da Fu to take care of Aunt Ge. When Tian Tian and Shen Mi heard this, they were deeply moved. Unexpectedly, Aunt Ge was listening outside the door and rushed in afterward, feeling guilty for her actions toward Da Fu and appreciating Brother Jiang's sacrifices.

Tianlin's team rushed to Xi Chong to rescue Da Fu, barricading themselves in a room. Xi Chong's staff outside insisted they come out, but everyone inside remained calm. Tian Yu Xian even started grooming Da Fu. Shen Mi arrived with Aunt Ge, and Tianlin's team came out with Da Fu. Aunt Ge apologized to Da Fu and informed Xi Chong that she wouldn't let Da Fu be euthanized. Although the situation was chaotic, Shen Mi believed that Aunt Ge needed to be with Brother Jiang, so he allowed her to leave with Da Fu. Xi Chong's staff, unwilling to let Tianlin off easily, threatened to expose the situation online with a video they had. However, Shen Mi was unafraid, revealing that he also had a video—the surveillance footage from the day when Xi Chong, along with Aunt Ge, visited Tianlin. The video showed Xi Chong trying to suppress Tianlin and making unethical promises to customers. Faced with the potential damage to Xi Chong's reputation, they backed down, and the matter was settled.

On the other side, Gu Mingze continued to work in the lab, accelerating the development of the new drug. When he met Han Mengnan, she noticed that his eyes were a bit red and initially thought he wasn't feeling well. However, it turned out that the new drug had been successfully developed. Gu Mingze was overjoyed, and Han Mengnan was happy for him. Gu Mingze directly lifted Han Mengnan off the ground! They went to have a meal together, and Gu Mingze mentioned that his mission in Lvchuan was completed. Continuing to stay there would be meaningless, so he decided to leave. Han Mengnan asked where he was going, and Gu Mingze mentioned the beautiful scenery around the big tree they visited last time. He had mentioned wanting to build a homestay before, and this time, he was finally going to set out. Gu Mingze invited Han Mengnan to join him, but Han Mengnan did not give a clear answer. In the restaurant, someone was singing, and Gu Mingze went up to request a song for Han Mengnan. Initially, she enjoyed it, but later, memories of her childhood and the scene where she exchanged rings with Shen Mi made her emotional. By the time Gu Mingze finished singing, he realized Han Mengnan had already left!

Tian Peilan envied Aunt Ge for having Brother Jiang's company. Tian Tian pointed out that her aunt also had Chen Yifan. Tian Peilan naturally thought of Tian Tian and Shen Mi. Tian Tian was momentarily speechless. Tian Tian and Shen Mi went to the supermarket, bought many things, and on the way back, saw a young boy not going home even late at night. Initially not too concerned, they later found that Carlo had been scratching the door, and when they opened it, Carlo led them to the boy. They realized the boy might be facing some problem, so they brought him home. Surprisingly, the boy hid in a room, refusing to go home or to the police station. Shen Mi decided to cook to lure him out. It worked, and they played games together. Finally, the boy explained that he had run away from home because his cat Feifei's mom was pregnant. He didn't have time for Feifei, and the cat and Blue would be sent away. After hearing this, Feifei packed his backpack and left.

Tian Tian comforted Fei Fei, saying that with the arrival of the baby, Fei Fei wouldn't feel lonely anymore. However, Fei Fei didn't see it that way. He expressed that today they're losing Little Blue, and next time, it might be him. Shen Mi stated that no parents would abandon their own child. Fei Fei sarcastically questioned if Shen Mi had children, and Shen Mi was momentarily speechless. Tian Tian seized the opportunity, saying that the baby kicked her. Shen Mi, catching the hint, immediately played along with Tian Tian. They pretended to be a couple, bantering back and forth, with Tian Tian even calling Shen Mi "husband." Fei Fei was half-convinced, and just then, the doorbell rang. Tian Tian asked her "husband" to check if it was a delivery.

Shen Mi looked through the peephole and was surprised to see it was Tian Peilan. As soon as Tian Peilan entered, she acted eccentrically, not revealing the purpose of her visit. Seeing the little boy there, she immediately inquired about the reason. Tian Tian explained the situation, and Tian Peilan was astounded by the key point: Tian Tian calling Shen Mi her husband. Tian Tian, fearing a disclosure in front of Fei Fei, quickly deflected, and Fei Fei unexpectedly showed concern. Tian Peilan thought she misheard, and Fei Fei explained that Tian Tian's baby was uncomfortable, causing Tian Peilan to believe that Tian Tian was pregnant. Tian Peilan was overjoyed and left happily, declaring that her dear Tian Tian had a bright future. Tian Tian and Shen Mi were left speechless at Tian Peilan's reaction, but they had to keep up the act in front of Fei Fei!

Tian Tian and Shen Mi told Fei Fei to go to sleep quickly. Fei Fei, being considerate, suggested sleeping in the living room not to disturb the "couple." He even said they should sleep together. Shen Mi and Tian Tian felt visibly awkward but had to maintain the charade. So, they prepared to go back to the room together. At this moment, Fei Fei requested that they wait until he fell asleep before leaving. Shen Mi teased him for being afraid of the dark, but Fei Fei explained that he wasn't afraid; it's just uncomfortable to stay in a stranger's house. Shen Mi decided to tell a story to help him sleep. Despite initial reluctance, Fei Fei cooperated and listened. After a while, both Tian Tian and Fei Fei fell asleep on Shen Mi's shoulder. Shen Mi gently woke up Tian Tian, and they went back to the bedroom together. Shen Mi took the floor, and Tian Tian slept on the bed. However, both were nervous. After some time, they realized that neither had fallen asleep. Suddenly, Tian Tian got up and thanked Shen Mi, expressing gratitude for everything he did for Tianlin. Shen Mi comforted and encouraged her.

The next day, Tian Tian and Shen Mi contacted Fei Fei's parents to pick him up from Tianlin. The misunderstanding was finally cleared up, and Fei Fei's parents explained that they didn't want to abandon him. They loved him very much. Additionally, Tian Tian had conducted a comprehensive examination for Little Blue, and it was in good health. The family reconciled, happily returning home. However, the situation took an unexpected turn for Tian Tian. Tian Peilan spread the news about Tian Tian's pregnancy to everyone, and Shen Chen exploded. Importantly, Tian Peilan even told Tian Tian's parents, leading Tian Tian's mom to insist that Tian Tian must bring Shen Mi home!

Shen Mi took the initiative and accepted the responsibility, acknowledging his fault. Upon returning home, he dressed meticulously, bought gifts, and practiced how to communicate with Tian Tian's parents. Tian Tian, seeing Shen Mi so nervous, commented that she had never seen General Shen so tense. Shen Mi, trying to appear calm, went inside and found out that Shen Chen was there too! Shen Chen even deliberately showed off in front of Tian Tian's parents, making Shen Mi extremely awkward. Eventually, Shen Mi bluntly stated that he and Tian Tian were in a relationship! Tian Tian's mom had to send Shen Chen out, and Shen Mi and Tian Tian began a more in-depth conversation about their happy family. After it ended, Shen Mi immediately went back home for a visit!

A special customer arrived at Happy Pet with a doll, claiming that it was sick. Doctors couldn't find a solution, so Manager Liu was called in. Manager Liu, sensing something amiss, pretended that Tangyuan still had hope but couldn't be treated at Happy Pet. The customer got anxious, and Manager Liu explained that it was because Happy Pet was currently out of medicine. However, Manager Liu knew a place that could cure Tangyuan.

As expected, the person brought Tangyuan to Tianlin. Wen Jing, after understanding the situation, quickly found Chen Yifan. Initially, Chen Yifan didn't comprehend why the patient was in such a hurry, insisting on seeing in the lobby. However, when he saw the auntie holding the doll named Tangyuan, he still didn't understand where the patient was. Only after asking did he find out that the patient was the doll in the auntie's arms, named Tangyuan! Chen Yifan widened his eyes in surprise. Tian Peilan and Wen Jing quickly signaled to Chen Yifan, who managed to control his astonishment. After understanding the situation, Tian Tian also came over. The group had no choice but to arrange for the "patient" to undergo an examination inside. Although the auntie agreed, she kept making requests, sometimes wanting to push Tangyuan in a cart and sometimes worrying about its comfort. Everyone tried to accommodate the auntie, and Chen Yifan muttered quietly that he didn't know who was the one with the problem!

While Shen Mi was washing his hands in the bathroom, Shen Chen intercepted him, questioning why he, who had promised not to have any feelings for Tian Tian, was now in a relationship with her. Shen Mi explained that they weren't in a relationship, and nothing had happened. Shen Chen immediately changed his demeanor, saying that they were still good brothers, and he would be keeping an eye on him. Meanwhile, pretending to examine Tangyuan, Tian Tian gave it a fake checkup, even giving it a shot. Then, she asked Wen Jing to take care of Tangyuan while she took the auntie to the office. Shen Mi also arrived, and the two didn't get a chance to ask the auntie anything when she suddenly didn't recognize Tian Tian anymore. She didn't even know this was a hospital and became excited, claiming that Tangyuan was dying of a fever. Tian Tian hurriedly explained that the illness had been cured. The auntie promptly wanted to pay Tian Tian but accidentally pulled out a card with information about her Alzheimer's disease and her children's contact details.

Later, the auntie's son was called over. As the auntie was leaving, she suddenly remembered that the doctor should have provided medical records for Tangyuan. Tian Tian immediately realized and went to write them. At this moment, the son received several work calls continuously. Slowly, he finally erupted, saying that there was no cat at home. The auntie panicked and wanted to go home to find Tangyuan. The people at Tianlin watched them leave and couldn't help but sigh at the matter of children taking care of their parents. The next day, the auntie came again. Helpless, everyone at Tianlin started to cooperate with the auntie's treatment. They even arranged a surgery, and Chen Yifan acted very hard, even resorting to giving a heart-strengthening injection. Shen Mi, upon hearing this, expressed his shock. When the auntie detailed Tangyuan's history, Shen Mi and Tian Tian were shocked to hear that Tangyuan had undergone sterilization surgery. However, the son denied it. Shen Mi pointed out that professional matters should be left to the professionals and called his grandfather. They learned that the sterilization surgery was something done 20-30 years ago, and complications, including infection leading to death, were possible. They understood the situation and then asked the auntie for a photo of Tangyuan.

The two followed the auntie to her home, where there were sticky notes everywhere, meticulously noting down everything the auntie might forget. Later, they went to look for a photo of Tangyuan. Indeed, they found a photo of the son and Tangyuan together. It turned out that when the son was too young, his impression of Tangyuan wasn't profound. Later, when the auntie fell ill, she still remembered that her son liked playing with Tangyuan when he was young. At this moment, the son also returned. Shen Mi showed him the photo, and as he listened to his mother recalling details from his childhood, he felt guilty for neglecting so much due to work. Finally, all the misunderstandings between mother and son were resolved!

Shen Mi, on behalf of Tianlin Hospital, registered for the Pet Medicine Competition, where the winning hospital would gain the qualification to be a trial hospital!

Tian Peilan passed by a room and found Tian Tian alone inside, murmuring something. Tian Peilan's curiosity was piqued, and she directly went in to ask Tian Tian. Seeing Tian Tian avoiding, Tian Peilan snatched the phone to see for herself. To her disbelief, Tian Tian was searching for ways to please the other party's parents. Tian Peilan continued to inquire about Tian Tian and Shen Mi's current progress. Tian Tian revealed that Shen Mi had told her yesterday evening that he wanted to go to his home for dinner with his mother. Tian Peilan couldn't help but think in that direction, and Tian Peilan straightforwardly stated that it was indeed a problem; otherwise, why would he want to go home! While the two were discussing intensely, Tian Yuxian suddenly interrupted. Hastily, they pretended to discuss the Pet Medicine Competition. After fooling Tian Yuxian, Tian Peilan took Tian Tian to the mall to make some preparations.

In the mall, Tian Peilan, disregarding the price, tore off labels and bought clothes she liked. They also carefully selected gifts for Shen Mi's mother. Encouraged by Tian Peilan, Tian Tian set off. Nervous, she kept checking herself in the mirror and adjusting her clothes. Shen Mi teased her about being nervous, and she tried to play it off casually. But she couldn't help but ask Shen Mi if her dress made her look old, to which he honestly replied that looking more mature was good. Although happy, Tian Tian remained nervous.

Upon arrival, Tian Tian, with a smile, prepared to face Shen Mi's mother, but to her surprise, the person who opened the door was Han Mengnan! In the living room, while Shen Mi and Tian Tian sat on one side, Han Mengnan kept talking to Shen Mi's mother, giving the impression of being familiar with the family. Tian Tian felt she had lost a lot of ground in terms of momentum. After a while, Shen Mi's mother remembered to inquire about Tian Tian. When she learned Tian Tian's age, she marveled at Tian Tian's fashion, making Tian Tian embarrassed. Han Mengnan, playing the part, still spoke in support of Tian Tian, but with each word, she seemed to be needling into Tian Tian's heart. To ease the atmosphere, Tian Tian took out the prepared gift, a lavender-scented pillow. However, Shen Mi's mother exploded, showing no good expression, and left directly. Shen Mi hurriedly explained that his mother couldn't stand lavender after his father's death, as it was his father's favorite flower. Feeling guilty, Tian Tian, with courage, still sat at the dining table. While trying to help Shen Mi's mother with the food, Tian Tian was blocked by Han Mengnan at every step. Everything was going so wrong. Shen Mi's mother even brought up the marriage between Han Mengnan and Shen Mi, making Shen Mi visibly unhappy. Tian Tian wanted to find an opportunity to leave, but Shen Mi protected her behind him.

After returning, both found it challenging to speak. Even though Shen Mi apologized, Tian Tian couldn't control her sadness. Shen Mi's WeChat status remained "typing," and Tian Tian couldn't sleep, but neither of them spoke. The next day at work, things were still awkward between them. Shen Mi specially handed a coffee to Tian Tian as an apology, but Tian Tian, saying it was okay, ran away. In reality, she went to Tian Peilan to pour out her grievances, as everything had gone wrong. Shen Mi, with an engagement agreed upon by both sets of parents and a childhood friend, had messed everything up. Tian Tian couldn't stop her tears, and Tian Peilan could only accompany her. When Tian Tian went to the office, Shen Mi pretended to be busy and said he had something in the evening. Both had to leave separately. As Tian Tian left, Shen Mi held his head in anguish. The atmosphere between the two was just too awkward, even for the usually proud Shen Mi at Green River. Tian Tian continued her regular work, but when work ended, she would accidentally catch a glimpse of Shen Mi leaving. Tian Tian still observed Shen Mi secretly, feeling deeply concerned.

In the evening, Shen Mi met Han Mengnan, who handed him a repaired guitar—a shared memory of theirs that Shen Mi seemed to have forgotten. Han Mengnan was deeply saddened.

Watching Shen Mi's reaction, Han Mengnan felt very sad. After all, Han Mengnan's attachment to her childhood was deep, and the current Shen Mi was not the same as before. Although Shen Mi wanted to make amends by saying he didn't recognize this refurbished piano well, Han Mengnan directly exposed his total lack of memory. Han Mengnan couldn't help but ask if Shen Mi had also forgotten what he once said. Han Mengnan's tears had already started to fall, but Shen Mi felt that he had to explain. Shen Mi bluntly said that he was too young back then, and since returning to the country, he had only treated Mengnan as family. Han Mengnan was unwilling to believe and broke down in tears. Shen Mi wanted to say more, but Han Mengnan couldn't listen. Shen Mi could only say, "I'm sorry," and then left. Han Mengnan's uncle couldn't calm his emotions and cried alone for a long time.

When Shen Mi returned, he brought a small cake for Tian Tian, but when he entered the door, he unexpectedly saw Tian Tian packing her luggage. Shen Mi was stunned, and Tian Tian explained that there was no reason, it wasn't good for her to stay here, and sleeping on the couch every day was uncomfortable. She wanted to go back and sleep in her own soft bed. Shen Mi stopped Tian Tian and reminded her to take good care of herself when she returned, especially her stomach, and to be careful with her diet. Tian Tian didn't look back and expressed her thanks before leaving. Tian Tian in the elevator, Shen Mi in the empty room, both were in great agony at this moment. After returning, Tian Tian's house was empty except for Shen Mi and Carlo. Carlo obediently stayed by Shen Mi's side. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. After Shen Mi opened the door, it was a delivery. Shen Mi couldn't help but recall the previous scene. It was the hotpot base that Tian Tian had bought. At that time, they had imagined eating hotpot together.

In the Tianlin neighborhood, Chen Yifan and Tian Peilan were bustling about decorating the store for the Qixi Festival. Tian Tian didn't have much of a reaction when she saw it, but Shen Chen and Tian Yuxian were quite happy. Then a wave of customers came to have their pets groomed as they wished. After seeing the pictures, Chen Yifan and Tian Tian were stunned, but they bravely arranged for Tian Yuxian to take care of the pets' grooming. However, the customers were not satisfied with the results. Tian Tian pointed out that the hospital had never offered such a service as "as-you-wish grooming." She even led everyone to see the current condition of the pets that had undergone "as-you-wish grooming." Everyone was shocked. It turns out that the damage caused to pets by the dyes was irreversible, and catering to human aesthetics was not friendly to pets! Only then did the customers understand the downside of "as-you-wish grooming." Tian Tian suggested that they could promote Tianlin at the event in the evening, and the customers agreed, saying that everyone from Tianlin could participate in the pet event together.

After the residents of Tianlin decided on their groups, they all went to the event together. According to the rule of pairing up, there was inevitably one person left alone. Tian Tian had to choose between Shen Mi and Shen Chen. Before Tian Tian could speak, Shen Mi volunteered to step aside, and naturally, Shen Chen and Tian Tian became a pair. Shen Chen even had to play the role of Tian Tian's boyfriend! Everyone went to the event together. Shen Mi returned home to meet his grandfather, who mentioned that Shen Mi's mother wanted him to find a personal doctor for Shen Mi. Shen Mi stated that he had never thought it would be like this. He just wanted to introduce the two of them to each other and hadn't expected it to turn out this way. His grandfather said that the most important thing in life is to follow one's heart!

At the event, the Tianlin residents distributed pamphlets to educate people about the downsides of "as-you-wish grooming," but the results were not good. Then the "Most Beautiful Couple Contest" began, and Shen Chen directly took Tian Tian up on stage. Chen Yifan and Tian Peilan also went on stage. Both pairs passed the first two rounds smoothly, but in the third round, they were required to kiss. Tian Tian reluctantly proposed to forfeit. The host was curious as to why, and Shen Mi arrived just in time to say that they weren't a real couple. At this moment, a small dog suddenly had a problem. It turned out that because of "as-you-wish grooming," Tian Tian and Chen Yifan immediately went to check the situation. After resolving it, Shen Mi went up on stage and declared the identity of Tianlin Hospital. He then explained the dangers of pet dyeing. After it was over, Shen Mi found Tian Tian. At that moment, Tian Tian was still angry. Shen Mi apologized directly, expressed his feelings, and confessed. Tian Tian accepted, and the two kissed. Then the host wished everyone a happy Qixi Festival. Shen Chen was watching nearby at that time.

Tian Tian leaned on Shen Mi's shoulder, and they both enjoyed the Qixi Festival fireworks together. At this moment, Chen Yifan and Tian Peilan also discreetly held hands. Han Mengnan was indeed alone in an empty room. Shen Mi accompanied Tian Tian home, and in the car, they couldn't help stealing glances at each other. The atmosphere was very sweet. When they arrived at their destination, Tian Tian was about to get out of the car to go home, but Shen Mi wanted to accompany her to her doorstep. They were reluctant to part. Shen Mi couldn't help but ask if Tian Tian wanted to move back in. However, Tian Tian was concerned about moving back so soon after leaving, and she wanted a good reason. Shen Mi directly told her that they should move back in when their relationship was truly established. At this moment, Shen Chen suddenly arrived, pushed Shen Mi aside, and told Tian Tian that after a one-year term, Shen Mi would return to being a CEO comfortably. Tian Tian asked Shen Chen how he knew, and Shen Chen directly said that he was Shen Mi's brother and left after saying he was quitting. Tian Tian looked at Shen Mi and just wanted to know the truth. Shen Mi explained everything, and Tian Tian chose to trust Shen Mi once again.

The next day, everyone in Tianlin learned about Shen Chen's resignation. Tian Yuxian immediately rushed out, but they were worried about the Pet Vet Contest. After all, there needed to be three doctors to participate in the final, and if Shen Chen left, there would be only two. Gu Mingze couldn't come to help either. Shen Mi said he would handle it himself, and everyone should focus on preparing for the competition. At this moment, Wen Jing raised her hand quietly. It turned out that Wen Jing had obtained a veterinary qualification through self-study. Now they had three doctors! Everyone was happy, and as for Tian Yuxian, Tian Peilan called him a child who wouldn't get into trouble.

Shen Hongyuan noticed that Shen Chen had not gone out for a long time when he came out for a meal. Shen Chen's mother also defended him. What they didn't know was that Shen Chen was on the verge of breaking down, unable to accept what had happened between Shen Mi and Tian Tian. Shen Hongyuan saw a video of the Qixi Festival event when he was browsing the news. He immediately had the "as-you-wish grooming" business shut down and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Shen Mi. In Green River, everyone also saw the video, but what caught their attention was Shen Mi and a girl kissing. Han Mengnan overheard the employees' whispers and couldn't believe her ears. She walked up and covered the phone screen, saw Shen Mi and Tian Tian kissing, and her heart shattered. Shen Mi, who was hiding at home, drank heavily. Shen Hongyuan went in and told him that tormenting himself like this over a girl wasn't worth it. Shen Hongyuan was frustrated, but he still covered Shen Chen with a blanket before leaving.

After work, Gu Mingze unexpectedly received a message from Han Mengnan. Gu Mingze immediately set off. Han Mengnan kept replaying the video, and when Gu Mingze expressed concern, she ignored him and questioned whether he had known all along that Tian Tian wasn't a cardiologist. She felt deceived while everyone else knew the truth. Han Mengnan couldn't understand why Shen Mi had changed since his return to China. She also told Gu Mingze about the changes in Shen Mi before and after his return. Gu Mingze thought Han Mengnan was being too sensitive, but when Han Mengnan remembered what Shen Mi had said to her that day, she suddenly realized something and left. When she got back home, Han Mengnan searched through her belongings, not sure what she was looking for.

In Tianlin, everyone began preparing for the Pet Vet Contest. Each person had their own role in preparing their competition projects, and Tian Peilan handled logistics, such as preparing uniforms. Just as everyone was brainstorming for a slogan, Xichong, a rival, appeared and taunted them. The residents of Tianlin didn't back down. Shen Mi confronted Xichong and sent them packing, and everyone continued to prepare for the contest with full enthusiasm. The contest arrived as scheduled. The first to perform was the grooming category, which was overseen by Tian Yuxian. They achieved excellent results, winning first place. The subsequent performances by Wen Jing, Tian Tian, and Chen Yifan were also very good. In the end, they received the highest combined score and secured a spot in the finals. Xichong took second place. Shen Mi believed there was someone manipulating things behind the scenes, and with live streaming during the finals, it wouldn't be easy to manipulate the results. After the contest, everyone dispersed. Tian Tian and Shen Mi were about to go eat when Tian Tian unexpectedly ran into Zhao, the teacher they had rescued Carlo with. It turned out that Zhao had become the chief physician at Xichong, and the two were going to meet on the competition stage!

Tian Tian found out that Teacher Zhao would also be competing and exclaimed, "It's over." She was impressed by how amazing Teacher Zhao, who had previously taught her clinical skills, was. Shen Mi then suggested taking Tian Tian to a special place. Although Tian Tian didn't know where it was, she followed him.

Shen Mi brought Tian Tian to the location where they had previously performed surgery on Carlo. He openly expressed his unwavering belief in Tian Tian, no matter what they encountered. He encouraged her not to give up, just like how she didn't give up on Carlo. Tian Tian was deeply grateful for Shen Mi's words, and they gazed at each other with affection. Suddenly, a security guard arrived, and they immediately hid.

As they reached the entrance of Tianlin, they noticed that the lights were still on. Tian Tian realized that Tian Yuxian hadn't left yet. Considering the importance of the upcoming competition, Tian Yuxian was taking it very seriously. As they chatted, Shen Mi began to act strangely. Tian Tian was amazed, having never seen Shen Mi behave this way. The two of them kissed. At that moment, Chen Yifan, walking his dog, returned home. He was first shocked and then exclaimed, "Not suitable for children." However, he couldn't resist sneaking another look. Tian Tian and Shen Mi felt speechless. Chen Yifan tactfully walked away, and Tian Tian and Shen Mi were about to continue when Chen Yifan secretly peeked out and said that Tian Peilan had prepared a self-indulgent hot pot and invited them inside. The two of them reluctantly paused, and after a brief discussion, they realized that, for the finals, everyone had decided to stay in a hospital near the venue. Chen Yifan suggested that if they felt disturbed, he could also go back. Shen Mi, trying to change the subject, expressed concern about Wen Jing's whereabouts. As soon as he mentioned it, they were surprised to discover that Wen Jing was missing. In a hurry, Wen Jing ran over, explaining that there was an emergency, but the patient couldn't make it.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian went to the patient's home. It turned out that a dog's water had broken, but it had been in labor for a long time without giving birth. After Tian Tian's examination, she discovered that the baby was in a breech position. They needed to check if it could be turned to the correct position; otherwise, they would have to perform a cesarean section at the hospital. The owner panicked upon hearing this news. It turned out that this dog was a stray, and the owner had taken it in because its belly was getting bigger. Shen Mi offered to cover the medical expenses, as he was under Director Tian's care, and naturally, he was very kind. Shen Mi prepared lamb milk for the dog, while Tian Tian was responsible for treating the dog. Luckily, both the mother and baby were safe. When Tian Tian left, she left her contact information with the owner. Then, the two of them left. On the other side, Han Mengnan had prepared some documents and was about to conduct a paternity test. However, when she was about to submit the documents, she hesitated.

The finals of the Pet Vet Contest arrived as scheduled. Tian Tian was very nervous and called Shen Mi for some reassurance. Shen Mi initially comforted her, but then the camera showed Tian Tian seeing many people cheering for Tianlin. These people were all very familiar, as Shen Mi had invited all the people whom Tian Tian had previously helped to the scene to support Tianlin. Tian Tian was deeply moved and hadn't expected Shen Mi to do so much. Shen Mi then said that Tian Tian should also thank one more person, which was himself. He thanked Tian Tian for helping him find himself. Shen Mi also mentioned that he had a secret to tell Tian Tian, making her curious. He said he would tell her after the competition was over.

Tian Tian focused on preparing for the competition. While she was checking her tools, Tian Yuxian was called for a pep talk. Everyone was enthusiastic and confident about winning the competition. Tian Tian mentioned there was a strong opponent, her former teacher, Teacher Zhao. However, no one was discouraged, and they remained confident. The competition officially began. During the introduction of the judges, two of them kept looking at Shen Hongyuan, as it turned out, he had arranged for people in advance! The first to perform was Tian Yuxian, who had his rhythm disrupted by the opponent. Even when he had no electricity for the clippers and had to use scissors, he still received praise from Chief Editor Zhang, only losing the competition by a difference of two points. In the third round, an additional rule was suddenly added: doctors had to have at least one year of practice experience. This meant Wen Jing couldn't participate, as she didn't meet the requirement, creating a crisis. Suddenly, Shen Chen appeared and took Tian Tian's place in the competition!

Finally, the competition reached a tense moment. Both teams were anxious as the final question was about to be revealed. Chen Yifan couldn't help but ask Tian Tian if she was confident about this question. Tian Tian mentioned that she had encountered it during her school days but wasn't sure of the answer. At this moment, Shen Chen immediately pressed the button and claimed the right to answer the question. Even the host couldn't help but admire that Tian Lin, who had not answered any questions throughout the entire game, finally obtained the right to answer. Tian Tian worriedly asked Shen Chen if he was sure of the answer, but Shen Chen didn't respond and started answering the question himself. Following a lengthy output of professional knowledge, the entire audience was astonished. Shen Hongyuan kept his eyes fixed on Shen Chen, and as the host announced that the answer was correct, Tian Lin finally won the game!

In the lounge, Tian Yuxian had specially prepared a customized competition uniform for Shen Chen. Shen Chen said he wouldn't mind wearing it. Tian Yuxian then earnestly asked Shen Chen not to leave after the competition. Tian Tian mentioned that her resignation application had not been approved yet, and everyone tried to persuade Shen Chen to stay in their own ways. Shen Chen admitted that his act of assisting Tian Lin earlier was already a betrayal, and if he continued, Shen Hongyuan would sever their father-son relationship. He ended by addressing Shen Mi as "brother." Everyone in the room, except for Tian Tian, was left stunned.

After a brief break, the competition entered the third round. The host explained the rules, and the dean of the agricultural college gave a speech. Meanwhile, Shen Hongyuan tried calling someone, but they didn't answer. In the lounge, Shen Chen explained the entire backstory to everyone. Chen Yifan couldn't help but be amazed at how a small Tian Lin Hospital was connected to such complex family feuds – it was almost unbelievable! The formal competition began, and the two teams entered the stage. The audience was excited, but Shen Hongyuan's expression was gloomy. In the third round of clinical tests, diagnosis and treatment were crucial. Tian Lin's team accurately diagnosed the case, providing a calm analysis and delivering the diagnosis first. On the other side, the Xi Chong team had an argument due to a judgment made during an examination, causing them to fall behind Tian Lin.

In the treatment phase, Tian Peilan noticed Tian Tian's phone ringing. When she answered, it turned out to be the owner of the stray dog, Biscuit, who had called. Biscuit had encountered some issues again, and they could only reach Tian Tian. Tian Peilan immediately handed the phone to Shen Mi. After understanding the situation, Shen Mi went on stage, informed the host, and the host revealed the situation to the audience. One of the judges who had been supporting Tian Lin, Zhang Lin, agreed that Tian Lin should return to treat Biscuit immediately. However, the judges on Shen Hongyuan's side refused, arguing that it would be unfair to the Xi Chong team, which was also part of the competition. In the end, the host decided to let the Xi Chong team decide whether Tian Lin should return. They naturally refused, and Tian Tian left the competition. Shen Mi escorted several people to Tian Lin. Zhang Lin and others followed and broadcasted the entire treatment process via livestream, gaining approval from most judges. Tian Lin's return to the competition no longer mattered at this point. When the host asked the Dean of the agricultural college to make the final decision, Shen Mi took the stage and presented Tian Lin's development. At this moment, whether Tian Lin won or not became irrelevant, and Tian Lin received unanimous praise from the live audience. Shen Hongyuan was very angry and directly knocked over the Xi Chong team's trophy.

Shen Mi and Tian Tian were very happy. However, Shen Mi's arm had been bitten by Biscuit earlier, so they went to the hospital for treatment. When they returned, Tian Tian drove Shen Mi home. They had hot pot together, and Tian Tian helped wash Shen Mi's hair. Shen Mi invited Tian Tian to watch a horror movie together. After the movie, Tian Tian fell asleep, and Shen Mi wanted to kiss her but suddenly felt insecure, realizing that he was not the real Shen Mi!

While Xi Chong had won the championship, they were reported for various violations. Authorities got involved, and Tian Lin Hospital became the official pilot hospital for targeted therapy. Shen Chen also officially left Tian Lin.

Shen Hongyuan's actions were all known by the old man, and the old man quickly called Shen Hongyuan to question him. Shen Hongyuan quickly denied everything, stating that it was all a misunderstanding. However, the old man knew the truth but didn't bother to listen to Shen Hongyuan's explanations. He hung up the phone directly. On Shen Hongyuan's end, he heard Liu Shian making a scene in the hall, which made him even angrier. He ordered everyone to leave! Unexpectedly, as Shen Hongyuan turned around, he saw Shen Chen. Shen Chen was about to leave but was stopped by Shen Hongyuan.

Tian Tian changed Shen Mi's bandage, and the two of them talked about Shen Chen. Tian Tian expressed her concerns about the relationship between Shen Chen and Shen Mi, but Shen Mi assured her that he was fine, though he mentioned that Shen Hongyuan's side was more complicated.

Sure enough, Shen Hongyuan scolded Shen Chen for not appreciating his efforts. He claimed that everything he did was for Shen Chen, but Shen Chen remained unmoved. Shen Chen stated that these were not the things he wanted, and the things he truly liked were continuously denied by his father, Shen Hongyuan!

Han Mengnan and Gu Mingze met, and Han Mengnan seemed to be preoccupied, pondering something. She uttered many inexplicable words, and Gu Mingze noticed that her mood was off. However, Han Mengnan remained silent. Later, Gu Mingze took Han Mengnan back to their former school. He mentioned that he rarely visited the place after graduating. They went to the sports equipment room, and Gu Mingze shared the reason behind his claustrophobia. It turned out that he was locked in this equipment room by classmates when he was young, and this trauma gave him claustrophobia. Gu Mingze deeply cared for Han Mengnan and faced his fear for her. Then, he revealed his true feelings, expressing his desire to leave, mentioning that he had already booked his plane ticket. He hoped to be with Han Mengnan continuously. They locked eyes, and Han Mengnan didn't say anything, but it seemed like she said everything.

The old man asked Shen Mi and Tian Tian to come home. At the doorstep, they didn't understand the old man's intention. Inside the house, the old man remained silent, and Han Shu quickly explained that the old man had watched the Pet Medical Competition. When they heard this, they immediately started apologizing. The old man revealed that he had already seen it and he wasn't an old-fashioned person. He didn't understand the matters of young people, but he respected them. He said that as long as the two of them were happy together, it was fine. Then, the old man urged Shen Mi to return to Green River and resume his position as the CEO. Shen Mi reminded him that the one-year agreement hadn't expired yet. At first, the old man said the bet was just to silence Shen Hongyuan, but now that it had been won fairly, there was no need for an explanation. However, Shen Mi couldn't help but look at Tian Tian, and the old man immediately understood Shen Mi's intention. He changed his words and said that if there were matters in Green River, Shen Mi should return as soon as possible. Shen Mi happily agreed. The old man added that there was another important matter – the blind athlete that Green River had been sponsoring was about to compete abroad. He hoped that Shen Mi could visit and support him, to which Shen Mi agreed. As they left the house, they encountered Shen Mi's mother, who gave Tian Tian a bouquet of baby's breath flowers. However, Tian Tian seemed unhappy. Shen Mi didn't know what was going on, but later, he found out that baby's breath flowers symbolized a supporting role. When Tian Tian visited Shen Mi's home again, she saw the house filled with baby's breath flowers. Shen Mi gave the flowers a new meaning, making Tian Tian very happy, and the two of them embraced sweetly.

When Shen Mi and Tian Tian came over, they saw the athletes and guide dogs in training. As they were about to leave, they noticed that the champion guide dog was vomiting. After understanding the champion's abnormal condition, they took the dog to Tian Lin for an examination. The results showed a possibility of lymphoma, but the champion dog had been enduring it in order not to worry its owner. In the end, they had to wait for biopsy results, and it wasn't looking good. Even Gu Mingze made the diagnosis, and the chances of a full recovery seemed slim!

The chances of a complete recovery for the champion are not high. However, Gu Mingze thought about targeted therapy, which could extend the champion's life by at least five or six years, even with the tumor. Mr. Yan was very excited and expressed his gratitude to everyone. But Gu Mingze mentioned that the champion might not be able to participate in the competition this time. Mr. Yan went to the champion's ward, deeply moved by the years the champion had spent with him. In fact, Mr. Yan had already felt that this might be the champion's last competition, as many people had advised him to retire the champion earlier. Now that they had saved the champion's life, he was already very happy. He bowed to everyone before leaving.

After the Pet Medical Competition, business at Tianlin Animal Hospital improved, and more people came for interviews. Tian Tian initially wanted Shen Mi's advice, but Shen Mi mentioned that he would return to Green River sooner or later. As a shareholder in Tianlin, he couldn't get too involved. However, as the boyfriend of the director of Tianlin, he could still offer some advice. At this moment, Gu Mingze arrived and shared that Green River was sending two employees from the research and development department to assist with the new medicine. He hoped that Tianlin could grasp this opportunity quickly. Tian Tian couldn't hide her disappointment, and Gu Mingze explained that he had already submitted his resignation to Green River. Gu Mingze was planning to go to Thailand, as the memories from the Animal Medicine Summit had left a lasting impression on him. Shen Mi couldn't help but inquire about whether a particular person was going, and Gu Mingze said that he needed to work hard to make it happen. But seeing Tian Tian and Shen Mi so happy together made him content.

Mr. Yan returned from the competition, and the champion's condition had improved significantly. Everyone was interested in Mr. Yan's competition, but he intentionally avoided discussing it. It turned out that Mr. Yan had won a gold medal, but he didn't seem happy. Everyone noticed that he still felt upset about the champion not being able to participate. So they decided to let the champion run one more time, with the route at the same location where they first ran together, forming a perfect circle. The beginning and end of the route were both significant. The champion sat in a cart, and everyone took turns pushing the champion to reach the finish line. However, due to Shen Mi's previous heart surgery, he couldn't participate in pushing the cart. In an unfortunate moment, Tian Tian accidentally fell, and Shen Mi took her place, pushing the cart. As they ran, the champion jumped out of the cart, and Mr. Yan understood that the champion wanted to finish this final journey with him. Everyone at Tianlin was deeply moved, and they all completed the last part of the race together. After it ended, Tian Tian immediately checked Shen Mi's heart condition to ensure he was fine. Everyone was relieved, and they all celebrated their victory. They took a group photo with the trophy, and when they returned, Shen Mi couldn't help but express that their efforts were truly meaningful.

Shen Mi was driving, and Tian Tian was in the passenger seat, looking very happy. Shen Mi teasingly asked if Tian Tian was thinking about getting married to him. Tian Tian felt a bit embarrassed, but Shen Mi continued to suggest that she could return to being his private doctor and talk to her parents about it. Tian Tian expressed that it was impossible. She had brought many books about human heart health with her this time. She was determined to take care of both people and dogs. She urged Shen Mi to take his medicine in the bathroom to ensure his heart wouldn't have any issues. Shen Mi reluctantly went to the bathroom and took out two pills, but then he flushed them down the toilet. His mind was filled with the painful memories of Shen Mi suffering from a heart condition in front of him during their childhood. It pained him. Meanwhile, Tian Tian was exploring Shen Mi's wardrobe and was surprised to find that it only contained white clothes.

On the other hand, Han Mengnan finally received the paternity test report. She couldn't believe it and recalled various moments between her and Shen Mi. Unable to control her emotions, tears streamed down her face.

Han Mengnan arrived at Tianlin Hospital and saw the photos taken by Tian Tian and others as soon as she entered. She was momentarily stunned and then asked Wen Jing about Shen Mi's whereabouts. Wen Jing explained that Shen Mi had gone out on business, so Han Mengnan had no choice but to leave, though it seemed like she had something on her mind.

Meanwhile, Han's father was on the phone, trying to prevent someone from revealing his illness. At that moment, Han Mengnan returned home and dropped the paternity test report in front of her father. She didn't notice her father's strange behavior and directly questioned him about who Shen Mi was. Han's father, feeling helpless, recalled the events from years ago. He explained that when he had found Shen Mi's whereabouts, Shen Mi and Gao Zhuo had already gone out to sea. When Han's father arrived, both had met with an accident. It was then that Han's father decided that from that point on, Gao Zhuo would become Shen Mi, and the person who had died had to be Gao Zhuo. Hearing this, Han Mengnan went into a frenzy and even questioned her father's motives, accusing him of using her emotions. Her father explained that the Shen family had shown great kindness to him, and he couldn't bear to see Shen Mi lose everything. However, Han Mengnan couldn't accept this and left, leaving her father heartbroken. Han Mengnan went to a lake, found a bench to sit down, and finally released all her emotions. She reflected on past events and finally understood why Shen Mi had changed when he returned to the country. She realized why all her efforts seemed in vain, why Shen Mi resisted taking medication every time she mentioned it, and she couldn't help but cry, shouting that everyone was a liar!

Shen Mi received a call from Han Mengnan. She asked him if Tian Tian would be present at her grandfather's birthday celebration. Shen Mi responded that Han Mengnan couldn't decide on that matter. Han Mengnan directly mentioned Gao Zhuo's name. Shen Mi's demeanor turned cold instantly. He went to find Han Mengnan.

Tian Tian was still unaware of what had happened and was looking at the photos she had taken with Shen Mi. She recalled Shen Mi mentioning that they should meet her parents. Tian Peilan was there, cheering her on, and Tian Tian had a sweet smile on her face. When Shen Mi saw Han Mengnan, she had already concealed her sadness. She directly used the paternity test report to threaten Shen Mi. At first, Shen Mi couldn't believe it and said that paternity test reports could be fabricated. However, when Han Mengnan revealed that her father had disclosed everything to her, Shen Mi began to panic. Han Mengnan then used this as leverage to threaten Shen Mi into marrying her.

In the evening, Shen Mi and Han Mengnan returned home together to attend the grandfather's birthday celebration. On the way back, Han Mengnan was already looking at wedding dresses. Shen Mi had a blank expression on his face. Han Mengnan ignored him and continued to choose dresses. At home, everyone was discussing the reason for Shen Mi's delay. The grandfather spoke up for Shen Mi, saying that he was already recognized as the CEO, so being a bit late was acceptable. When Shen Mi and Han Mengnan arrived together, everyone was surprised. The grandfather also asked about Doctor Tian, wondering why she wasn't present. However, Shen Mi's mother didn't have a favorable opinion of Tian Tian and Shen Mi. Han Mengnan added fuel to the fire. Meanwhile, Tian Tian was at Shen Mi's home waiting for him, daydreaming about her future marriage with him.

Tian Tian was reminiscing about her wedding with Shen Mi, where they shared an intimate moment and a kiss amid the blessings of friends and family. However, her thoughts were interrupted when Shen Mi didn't return for a long time. Only Carlo was there to keep her company. Carlo expressed his affection for Tian Tian in his own way by licking her. Realizing that Shen Mi hadn't returned yet, Tian Tian had to comfort Carlo and wait for his return.

Before the wedding, Han Mengnan didn't want to meet her parents. So, she decided to stay at a hotel for a few days. Shen Mi dropped Han Mengnan off at the hotel and couldn't help but talk about the time he spent with the real Shen Mi in Thailand. Han Mengnan seemed to realize something and was somewhat surprised. Shen Mi continued to speak about his feelings for Han Mengnan. He mentioned how he had always talked about her, a beautiful girl, in front of himself, even saying that they should be friends. However, an accident happened when they went out to sea. At that point, Han Mengnan looked out of the window. Shen Mi continued explaining and admitted that he had been wrong for all these years. But he also stated that marrying him wouldn't bring happiness to Han Mengnan, especially when there was someone who loved and cared for her already. However, Han Mengnan didn't want to hear these words and left, making Shen Mi unhappy. About the reasons for all this, Han Mengnan didn't want to hear Shen Mi's explanations and walked away, reminding him that they would be trying on wedding dresses the next day. She didn't care if Shen Mi came or not; she already knew his size. Shen Mi watched Han Mengnan leave and felt helpless.

Shen Hongyuan and Shen Chen had just arrived home, and Shen Chen immediately went somewhere. Shen Hongyuan finally spoke up this time, and he didn't rush Shen Chen. Shen Mi returned home to find Carlo and noticed the many messages sent by Tian Tian on his phone. Shen Mi knew that Tian Tian had been there but had left. He remembered their moments together and a past bet. Shen Mi realized that he had no right to continue the relationship and proceeded to delete Tian Tian from his WeChat.

Tian Tian was still worried about Shen Mi, and Tian Peilan found something suspicious. At that moment, Tian Yuxian burst into the room. It turned out that Shen Mi had a meeting, but Tian Tian had no idea about it. Later, Tian Tian finally saw Shen Mi, who brought his assistant along. He told Tian Tian that he would no longer be responsible for the matters concerning Tianlin as he needed to return to Green River. He thanked everyone for the experiences during this time, but he couldn't continue to be with Tianlin. Tian Tian tried to lighten the mood and reassured everyone that Shen Mi would return. After everyone left, Shen Mi and Tian Tian had a private conversation. Tian Tian tried to lighten the mood, and Shen Mi said that he wanted to take a walk. They prepared to leave together.

As they were leaving, Tian Peilan inquired about what was so important and seemed quite secretive. She suggested it might be a proposal. Tian Tian was somewhat skeptical but couldn't hide her happiness. When they arrived at their destination, Shen Mi coldly discussed the future of Tianlin, while Tian Tian was more interested in the opening ceremony of the pet exhibition. She wanted to pick a special outfit for Shen Mi as an invited guest. However, Shen Mi was not paying attention to her ideas. Shen Mi got frustrated and ultimately told her off. He even mentioned a breakup, leaving Tian Tian wanting to understand the reasons. Shen Mi bluntly said the reason was that he didn't love her and that he had only been using her. When Tian Tian heard about Shen Mi's impending wedding with Han Mengnan, she was left in shock.

顾明泽's resignation process was nearly complete, and before leaving, he made a visit to Han Mengnan's office. However, he was unaware that Han Mengnan was already preparing for her wedding. While having coffee and waiting for Han Mengnan, Gu Mingze overheard from his colleagues about Han Mengnan's upcoming wedding with Shen Mi, leaving him bewildered.

Back at Tianlin, everyone was unaware of the situation, and they celebrated with fireworks for Tian Tian. She was still emotionally shaken by everything, thinking about Shen Mi's thoughtful gesture with the pen. The rest of the staff didn't know how to comfort her and warned against making any hasty judgments.

Shen Chen came to Shen Mi, questioning if Han Mengnan had discovered a hidden truth about him. Shen Mi didn't feel like discussing it and mentioned Shen Chen's intentions to pursue Tian Tian. He stated that he was going to the restroom and left.

Meanwhile, Han Mengnan had started trying on wedding dresses, but Shen Mi didn't show up. Shen Chen visited the restroom to investigate Shen Mi's suspicious actions, as there were too many unanswered questions about his identity.

Tian Tian is in a very bad state. Both her parents are very sad when they see her. Her mother even wonders if it would be different if Shen Chen and Tian Tian were together. However, her father doesn't think so. Tian Tian is outside, feeding the cats and listening to her parents talk about this matter. Along with her recent heartbreak, Tian Tian's mood becomes even heavier.

Shen Mi has finally packed up Tian Tian's belongings. He calls the delivery company, and they ask what he wants to send. Shen Mi recalls while speaking, and when he mentions the screen, he can't help but remember the scenes from when Tian Tian was around. But now, things have changed. Shen Mi becomes lost in thought and tells the delivery company that he won't send it for now. Han Shu and Shen Mi talk about Han Mengnan's situation. Han Shu did what he did back then, hoping that everyone could find happiness. But now, it seems that many people have been affected, and Shen Mi feels even more guilty. After all, everything he has now should belong to Shen Mi, not himself. He has never been the real Shen Mi, and now the wedding is approaching, leaving him with no choice.

The wedding arrives quickly. The wedding hall is small, and Shen Mi's heart is heavy. In his mind, there are still images of Tian Tian and himself together. At this moment, his grandfather suddenly comes backstage to see Shen Mi. His grandfather asks if Shen Mi remembers what he asked him about the most challenging thing in life that night. Shen Mi straightforwardly answers that it's peace of mind. His grandfather may have guessed Shen Mi's thoughts and asks if he has found peace of mind now. Shen Mi's mind is filled with the image of his grandfather placing his hand on his chest that night, but this time, Shen Mi can't provide a definite answer. He admits that he can't find peace of mind now, but he knows that what he is doing is the right thing. However, his grandfather believes that there is nothing more important than sincerity. Life offers many paths, but if you lose sincerity, there's nothing left to pursue. After hearing his grandfather's words, Shen Mi ponders deeply.

On the other side, the pet exhibition is about to begin. Tian Tian is in the dressing room preparing. Tian Yu Xian notices that Tian Tian's condition is not right and thinks she may be thinking of Shen Mi. Tian Tian denies this and says that she just can't lift her spirits. They turn around and realize that Aunt and Chen Yifan are missing. Meanwhile, Tian Peilan and Chen Yifan have arrived at Shen Mi's wedding venue, but they are stopped by security. Han Mengnan is getting ready in her dressing room. She hears compliments from the makeup artist and looks at herself in a wedding dress in the mirror, but she isn't very happy. At that moment, her father arrives at the door. He asks if she is really determined, but she asks him if her wedding dress looks good. She then envisions the scene of the wedding and says that she decided a long time ago, even twenty years ago. Han's father doesn't say anything more, and they just look at each other, unable to say anything.

The wedding ceremony begins. Han Mengnan slowly walks up to Shen Mi, but he accidentally daydreams about Tian Tian. However, when he realizes, he continues holding Han Mengnan's hand and proceeds. Carlo keeps calling from the audience. Tian Peilan and Chen Yifan finally manage to enter the venue. Tian Peilan directly scolds Shen Mi and is then kicked out. Carlo sneaks out quietly.

At the event, Tian Tian meets a little girl who gives her a bouquet of stars. Tian Tian can't help but think of Shen Mi. At the wedding venue, both Shen Mi and Han Mengnan unexpectedly say that they don't want to go on with the wedding. Then, Han Mengnan takes the microphone and shares the story of her and Shen Mi's journey from childhood to the present, as well as her persistence in Shen Mi. She finally tells Shen Mi that she is going to pursue her own happiness, and she finds closure. Shen Mi immediately goes to look for Tian Tian, but Tian Yu Xian refuses to disclose her whereabouts. Shen Mi then receives a message that Carlo is missing. Carlo has encountered some trouble with a group of troublemakers, and they threw his collar into the water. Suddenly, the watches of Tian Tian and Shen Mi trigger an alarm. They realize that Carlo is in trouble. When Tian Tian sees the collar in the lake, she thinks Carlo had an accident and jumps in. Shen Mi arrives in time to rescue Tian Tian. He explains that he can't marry Han Mengnan, but Tian Tian still can't forgive him. At this moment, Carlo, who was on the sidelines, experiences an unexpected health issue. Tian Tian quickly realizes that it's a heart problem and requires surgery. She contacts Wen Jing for help, but Chen Yifan is at the police station. In this urgent situation, Tian Tian picks up the surgical knife once again!

With the encouragement of her father, Shen Mi, and many people she has helped, this time, Tian Tian finally successfully picked up the surgical knife. Shen Mi's worried heart outside the operating room was finally put to rest. He reminisced about the time when they first got Carlo and the subsequent heart surgery for Carlo. Shen Mi's emotions were complex. When Tian Tian emerged from the operating room with good news, she also mentioned that she had won. It turns out Tian Tian was referring to the bet she and Shen Mi had made. This time, Tian Tian was the first to move on, and Shen Mi told her he had something to say. Tian Tian knew it was the secret Shen Mi wanted to share from that day in Thailand, but he hadn't said it yet. Meanwhile, Tian Peilan and Chen Yifan returned, and they were both very happy to see Tian Tian back.

Han Mengnan went to Gu Mingze's house to find him, but she found out that Gu Mingze had already left, and the house was being rented out. Han Mengnan realized what she had lost, but she didn't know when Gu Mingze would return. Tian Tian took care of Carlo and thought about the secret Shen Mi mentioned. She fell into deep thought. Shen Mi came to find Tian Tian in Tianlin and, after confirming that Carlo was fine, he suggested going for a walk. Shen Mi decided to try to let go of the past and stay in Tianlin with everyone, not returning to Green River for now. He was about to share the secret with Tian Tian, but he received a call from Han Shu, saying that his grandfather had collapsed. Shen Mi and Tian Tian immediately went to the hospital.

At the hospital, everyone learned that the old man had been sick for a long time but had kept it a secret. Now, his condition was not optimistic. Seeing his grandfather's condition, Shen Mi felt incredibly guilty, but Shen Hongyuan didn't seem sad at all. He asked if the old man had left anything behind after learning about his condition. Everyone knew what Shen Hongyuan was referring to. The old man then took everyone to see his will. According to the will, all of Green River's shares were to be transferred to Shen Mi's mother. As for the properties and savings, the old man had his own arrangements. After hearing this, Shen Mi immediately transferred his house to Han Mengnan and his savings to Shen Chen. However, Shen Hongyuan was dissatisfied and left. In fact, what Shen Hongyuan wanted was Green River, but the old man had given it all to the eldest son. Shen Hongyuan told Shen Chen that Shen Mi had not yet ascended to the top, and they still had a chance. Then, they walked in the direction of the company. Shen Mi seemed to realize something and went straight to the company.

On the other side, Shen Hongyuan received the results of the paternity test and saw an opportunity. At the shareholder meeting convened by Shen Mi, Shen Hongyuan interrupted Shen Mi's speech and presented the paternity test report. The shareholders were shocked. With Shen Hongyuan's guidance, the shareholders sided with him. Shen Mi's mother also arrived at the meeting, and despite seeing the paternity test report, she tried to defend her son. She held the largest share. Shen Mi's mother could have kept Shen Mi, but Shen Mi chose to resign. Shen Mi told Han Shu that he would continue to live on as Gao Zhuo!

Tian Tian was very worried about Shen Mi's change of status. She wanted to send a message to express her concern but didn't want to disturb him. Tian Tian seemed to realize that Shen Mi was facing a very difficult situation. At this time, Shen Mi arrived at his grandfather's bedside. This time, he came as Gao Zhuo. He finally revealed the secret he had buried for a long time in his heart. Although his identity was fake, his feelings for the old man were undeniable. What he didn't know was that after he left, the old man actually had a reaction!

Han Mengnan finally started to seek her own happiness. In Thailand, she found Gu Mingze and brought Shen Mi's guitar with her. Han Mengnan explained that she had found her happiness and was doing well now. Han Mengnan also received a message from Gao Zhuo asking for help in contacting the media about their friend's message. Han Mengnan didn't know what had happened, but she tried her best to help.

Han Mengnan received a call from Shen Mi and immediately agreed to his request without hesitation. After hanging up, Han Mengnan finally learned about the situation in Lvchuan. She appeared visibly agitated, but Gu Mingze remained calm. He immediately offered to book a flight back to China for Han Mengnan. Han Mengnan was deeply moved, as Gu Mingze understood that they needed Han Mengnan now more than ever.

Tian Tian didn't know anything, but she felt uneasy. At this moment, Shen Mi finally called her, instructing her to pack up, as he would pick her up in half an hour. Only after getting into the car did Tian Tian realize that they were heading to Lvchuan. Shen Mi stated that he wanted to reveal the truth to everyone. Meanwhile, a shareholders' meeting was taking place in Lvchuan, and Shen Hongyuan had garnered the support of most shareholders to become the CEO. Just when he was about to dismiss Shen Mi and Tian Tian, Han Mengnan arrived. She stated that such trade secrets couldn't be easily leaked to the media. Han Mengnan then presented evidence she had gathered about Shen Hongyuan leaking trade secrets to the public. Shen Hongyuan remained composed and called Shen Mi a highly respected figure. It was at this moment that Tian Tian learned about Shen Mi's true identity. However, she fully trusted the man before her. After calming down, she still believed in their love. Everyone listened quietly to Guo Zhuo's explanation. Guo Zhuo talked about Shen Mi's two wishes: one was to marry Han Mengnan, and the other was to know the truth about his father's death. Guo Zhuo had been secretly investigating this matter for years under Shen Mi's identity. He revealed that all the past events were caused by Shen Hongyuan's attempt to shift blame for the dog food incident. Shen Hongyuan, however, believed that the one who should apologize the most was Shen Mi's father. Everything was his fault. Later, the elder Mr. Shen arrived and clarified that Shen Mi's father had gone abroad not to accuse Shen Hongyuan but to help him settle matters. Unfortunately, Shen Hongyuan had misunderstood. Shen Mi had overheard a conversation between Shen Hongyuan and Uncle Han outside the hospital and mistakenly thought that Shen Hongyuan had caused his father's suffering. This led him to leave home and eventually cross paths with Guo Zhuo. Now, everything had finally come to light. Guo Zhuo had earned the understanding of Shen Mi's mother and had been deeply moved by the warmth he had received from the Shen family over the years. Today, Guo Zhuo even called Shen Mi's mother "Mom." Shen Hongyuan finally realized his mistakes, but the elder Mr. Shen had already lost one son. In the elder Mr. Shen's eyes, Guo Zhuo and Shen Chen were now like real brothers. The tragedies of their parents should not be repeated. With their misunderstandings resolved, the next question they needed to address was the future of Lvchuan. Shen Mi and Shen Chen were willing to compromise with each other. As they looked at the two brothers, the elder Mr. Shen believed that the tragic story of Shen Hongyuan's brothers would not be repeated, and Lvchuan would surely move towards a brighter future.

On the day of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, during the signing ceremony between Lvchuan and the World Nature Conservation Association, Shen Mi was the host, and Shen Chen had become the chairman of Lvchuan. Tian Tian secretly came to find Shen Mi, as they had arranged to have hot pot with Grandpa Ma. They decided to hold the gathering at home, and Grandpa Ma specifically requested green mango pickles. Shen Chen felt quite uncomfortable as the chairman, but Shen Mi and Tian Tian had full confidence in him and left the gathering early. Tian Peilan organized the photo wall of everyone, feeling very happy. Wen Jing had become the head of the department, and many excellent doctors had joined the hospital. Tian Yuxian's work was proceeding smoothly. On the other hand, Tian Tian and Shen Mi received an invitation from Han Mengnan and Gu Mingze. They felt happy and hopeful about the beginning of their life together.

Tian Tian's parents went for a joyful walk, and her father was very satisfied with Shen Mi as his son-in-law. At the dinner party in the evening, everyone was in high spirits. Grandpa Ma and Mr. Shen even tried to take credit for the relationship between Tian Tian and Shen Mi.
