Wei Zhi arrived in Shanghai and immediately noticed how different the temperature was compared to the Northeast. Just yesterday, she was building snowmen there, but today, she could wear a light jacket. Jiang Yiming took her to the seaside, enthusiastically talking about his professional knowledge, while Wei Zhi remained silent, lost in her own thoughts.

She reminisced about the excitement and happiness she felt when she met Shan Chong in the Northeast, but now that she was back home, she found the sky without him felt empty. As she thought about it, she was on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, Shan Chong went on vacation with his friends, following his plan to start a new journey. On the other side, Wei Zhi attended a family dinner with Jiang Yiming’s parents.

Their two families had watched each other's children grow up and knew each other well. Since Jiang Yiming's family was also well-off and highly regarded Wei Zhi, they believed their union would be perfect. However, Wei Zhi had never harbored romantic feelings for Jiang Yiming, whereas he remained as passionate as ever. Taking advantage of the family gathering, he made a special effort to impress her.

Jiang Yiming’s mother deliberately brought up childhood memories, mentioning how Wei Zhi often visited their home and once called Jiang Yiming handsome. Wei Zhi immediately refuted it, saying that was all in the past. Her mother shot her a disapproving look. Wei Zhi’s mother had never had any expectations for her academic achievements, but seeing her graduate from university only to continue drawing comics—completely ignoring the family business—made her feel that Wei Zhi was being foolish.

She frequently tried to stop Wei Zhi from picking up her pen to draw, so Wei Zhi did her best to avoid her mother. After dinner, Jiang Yiming insisted on driving Wei Zhi home. He noticed that she was distracted throughout the meal, constantly holding her phone and only half paying attention. It made him suspect that she had someone she liked. Wei Zhi found an excuse to refuse his offer and took a taxi instead.

During their time apart, both Wei Zhi and Shan Chong felt incredibly lonely, as if their phones were their only connection. They would feel anxious when they didn’t see a message from the other and ecstatic when they received a reply. Wei Zhi even dreamed about Shan Chong, where the two of them embraced happily, and she eagerly anticipated a romantic "kabedon" from him. But just as the moment was about to happen, reality pulled her back.

With one in the South and the other in the North, when would their paths cross again? Wei Zhi continued working on her comic, but her mother couldn't help but worry about her marriage. She had selected several candidates, with Jiang Yiming being the most outstanding. However, Wei Zhi seemed completely uninterested, especially during their last dinner when she kept staring at her phone, as if she had no intention of engaging in the matter at all.

Completing her work alone proved to be a challenge for Wei Zhi. She began reaching out to former team members she had collaborated with in her previous company. However, after she was dismissed, many of them had moved on to new jobs. Having switched industries, they no longer wanted to return to comic creation, viewing it as an exhausting field that could only be a hobby at best. Without her creative team, Wei Zhi felt deeply saddened.

She thought about her mentor, Octopus Sensei, who had once given her invaluable guidance and advice. Now that he was no longer by her side, she wondered if he was doing well in the company. During the day, Wei Zhi went to meet her former colleague "Elephant. " Upon hearing Elephant’s refusal to collaborate, Wei Zhi, though disappointed, still returned the hand-drawn sketches she had treasured. Seeing the letter Wei Zhi left behind, Elephant reminisced about their time working together. Finally, she picked up her phone and called Wei Zhi—she had decided to continue working with her.
