Hearing her mother invite Shan Chong to dinner at their home, Wei Zhi immediately understood her mother’s intention. Worried that her mother would interfere in her relationship, she tactfully declined, but her mother insisted on inviting both Shan Chong and Shan Shan over for dinner. On the way there, Shan Chong felt a bit uneasy. Wei Zhi sent him a comforting message, reassuring him that it was just a meal—everything should be fine.

Wei Zhi’s mother personally prepared a nourishing fish maw soup, and everyone praised her cooking skills. During dinner, the conversation turned to their skiing experiences. When Wei Zhi’s mother heard that Shan Shan had broken both legs in a skiing accident, she was startled. In her mind, she couldn’t understand why a girl would engage in such a dangerous sport. She also couldn’t comprehend why Shan Chong insisted on following the same path, aiming to train for the national team.

Unable to hold back, she commented that girls shouldn’t take part in impulsive and high-risk sports. She also questioned the practicality of winning a gold medal, arguing that championship titles wouldn’t guarantee lifelong financial stability. Jiang Yiming tried to speak up for Wei Zhi, mentioning that the country was increasingly investing in skiing as a sport. However, Wei Zhi’s mother remained unconvinced. The atmosphere at dinner felt somewhat stifling.

Shan Chong, however, sat there quietly the entire time, never refuting a single word. On the other hand, Wei Zhi couldn’t help but glance at him repeatedly, feeling guilty for making him sit through her mother’s “lecture. ”After dinner, Wei Zhi quietly pulled Shan Chong onto the balcony to apologize for her mother’s remarks. However, Shan Chong wasn’t angry. He understood that every mother in the world only wanted the best for their daughter.

She was simply concerned about her daughter’s unstable future and unpredictable income. After all, if Wei Zhi was going to be responsible for raising a family in the future, engaging in such a challenging and risky profession could be worrisome. Visiting Wei Zhi’s home made Shan Chong realize the vast differences between their families. His family was middle-class, while Wei Zhi’s family owned a large business empire.

Both of her parents were career-driven and had high expectations for their daughter’s future spouse. Shan Shan also noticed this and quietly worried for her brother—it was clear that Wei Zhi’s mother had strict standards. Wei Zhi’s father, though quiet during dinner, keenly observed the subtle connection between his daughter and Shan Chong. Later, he privately invited Shan Chong to a meal. A conversation between two men meant getting straight to the point.

Wei Zhi’s father openly admitted that while he and his wife had always supported their daughter’s passion for comic art, they also knew that relying solely on drawing wouldn’t guarantee financial security. No one could count on a lifelong career in art. He also pointed out that being a skiing coach was a profession that relied on youth, subtly implying that without a stable job and steady income, it would be difficult for Wei Zhi to have a secure future.

Shan Chong understood his concerns. While he hadn’t been aware of the significant gap between their families when he first started dating Wei Zhi, now that they were together, he was determined to prove his worth through actions. Once Shan Shan completed her prosthetic fitting, he planned to return to the national team for training and earn his accolades.

Wei Zhi’s father nodded, but Shan Chong could tell what he was truly thinking—no father would entrust his daughter to a man with an uncertain future and unclear capabilities. Feeling conflicted, Shan Chong called Wei Zhi and invited her out for a walk. In truth, he was wavering. Winning a gold medal was a gamble—there was no guarantee of becoming the champion.

His heart was filled with uncertainty, fearing that he might not be able to give Wei Zhi the happiness she deserved. As he gazed at Wei Zhi’s bright and gentle smile, a pang of sorrow filled his chest. This girl was everything to him—but could he truly give her the happiness she wanted? Wei Zhi noticed Shan Chong’s hesitation. She embraced him and reminded him not to forget his original intentions.

He had once promised her they would always be together, and through hard work, they could achieve their dreams. Despite growing up in privilege and facing countless obstacles from her parents, Wei Zhi had never let go of her passion for drawing. She wanted to encourage Shan Chong to stop worrying about the future and just focus on the present. However, the more Wei Zhi reassured him, the more inadequate Shan Chong felt.

Overcome with self-doubt, he apologized to her and asked for some time. He suggested that perhaps it would be best for them to take a break for now. Tears welled up in Wei Zhi’s eyes as she ran away. Watching her retreating figure, Shan Chong felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. Wei Zhi ran home and poured her heart out to her best friend, Jiang Yiming. Jiang Yiming analyzed Shan Chong’s current mindset, advising Wei Zhi to give each other some time to figure things out.
