Just as Teacher Xu was complaining about Xie Wanghe’s far-fetched ideas, the principal unexpectedly took an interest in his cram camp concept. Believing it would greatly benefit the school, the principal suggested launching a free cram camp to improve the students' college admission rates. In this way, the school essentially stole Xie Wanghe’s business idea, leaving him both angry and frustrated. In retaliation, he stuffed a drawer full of soaked instant noodles as a prank on Teacher Xu.

Later, Xie Wanghe told Xia Fenghua that he had prepared an alternative plan—creating an online intelligent question bank. To realize this plan, he intended to take a leave of absence and head straight to Beijing. Xia Fenghua offered to support him financially, but he politely declined, promising that one day he would invite her to Beijing to join him in his venture. After school, Ma Siyi went to the hospital to borrow Chen Rui’s notes.

Throughout the exchange, Chen Rui seemed distracted and cautiously probed her thoughts, relieved to confirm that she didn’t mind what Gu A’Lian had said earlier. Meanwhile, since starting a business required a computer and servers, Zhou Haikuo sold his gaming account to fund Xie Wanghe’s startup. This act of support deeply moved Xie Wanghe. In addition, Xie Wanghe, Shao Xingchi, and Zhou Haikuo found an old boat cabin to use as their office.

Xie Wanghe decided to travel to Beijing to rent servers and, if possible, try to persuade industry leaders at an entrepreneurial park to invest in them. The three of them were excited as they returned home, only to find Shao Bingyi waiting in the courtyard. Furious, he scolded Shao Xingchi, insisting he should focus on studying for college entrance exams. Sensing an imminent father-son clash, Xie Wanghe quickly apologized to Shao Bingyi and had Shao Xingchi withdraw from the venture.

After this incident, Xie Wanghe suddenly felt lost, sitting alone on the rooftop, doubting whether he could truly succeed in his entrepreneurial dream. Taking the opportunity, Xia Fenghua confessed her feelings to him, but he didn’t take it seriously. The two playfully bickered while enjoying the evening breeze and city lights—until Ma Siyi accidentally stumbled upon the scene and silently walked away. Soon, the school sports event arrived.

Sun Sanliang spotted Ma Siyi at Seventh High and deliberately provoked her, nearly instigating a fight with Xie Wanghe and the others. Fortunately, Teacher Xu arrived in time to stop it. During the relay race, Sun Sanliang secretly sabotaged Xie Wanghe’s team, causing them to slow down and fall into a pile of white powder, leaving them in an embarrassing mess. Shao Xingchi and Zhou Haikuo took Xie Wanghe to the school rooftop to wash off.

The three of them stripped down and played around, unaware that Sun Sanliang was secretly live-streaming them and broadcasting the footage onto the big screen. The entire school erupted in chaos, and it was Xia Fenghua who rushed over in a panic to warn Xie Wanghe. At the end of the school day, Sun Sanliang admitted that Xia Fenghua was a loyal and righteous girl, even offering her rare praise.

Meanwhile, Ma Siyi subtly reminded Xie Wanghe to cherish Xia Fenghua. However, Xie Wanghe remained completely oblivious. When she got home, Xia Fenghua proactively asked her mother for the 10,000 yuan she had previously earned, planning to use it to support Xie Wanghe’s startup. After Xia Fenghua finished a photo shoot at the studio, Brother Hai informed her that there was a sneaker commercial the next day, in which she would be the lead actress.

He arranged for her to stay in a hotel that night. Excited, Xia Fenghua believed she was getting closer to her idol, Li Yuchun. However, Brother Hai suddenly barged into her room, attempting to force her downstairs to drink and entertain guests. Xia Fenghua resisted with all her might. At the critical moment, Xie Wanghe appeared and knocked Brother Hai down, rescuing Xia Fenghua and pulling her away.

However, due to her injured leg, she collapsed after only a few steps. Xie Wanghe wanted to take her to a pharmacy for medicine, but Xia Fenghua, still traumatized, instinctively grabbed his arm to stop him. Sensing her distress, Xie Wanghe carried her on his back. Noticing that she was suppressing her emotions, he gently told her that if she wanted to cry, she should just let it out—he wouldn’t laugh at her.
