The company that fired Wei Zhi had been performing poorly lately. Although Wu Manman took over as the writer for "Fei Zhai" (Fat Otaku), the original creator of the "Li Ge" (Farewell Song) concept was Wei Zhi. As a result, many details lacked the deep emotional connection needed. When Octopus Sensei talked to her about it, Wu Manman, feeling sensitive, assumed he was criticizing her creative flaws. Reacting defensively, she snapped back at him and then stormed off.

Shan Chong invited Wei Zhi to Xicheng for ice skating, but she was still focused on her work. Meanwhile, Wu Manman sought out Elephant, hoping she could help with the company’s next project. However, Elephant had already chosen to work with Wei Zhi and had no intention of collaborating with Wu Manman. By accident, Wu Manman learned that Wei Zhi's next project was related to skiing. Determined to prove her abilities, Wu Manman decided to work on a similar theme.

Realizing she had accidentally spilled the news, Elephant immediately informed Wei Zhi. However, Wei Zhi didn’t mind—she wasn’t concerned about having the same theme, as it was the story that truly showcased one’s skills. Wei Zhi wanted to travel to Xicheng for inspiration and initially tried to discuss it with her mother. However, her mother strongly disapproved of her career, believing that the comic industry was struggling and that Wei Zhi had already spent years on it without significant success.

She reminded Wei Zhi that at twenty-five, she was at a critical age and hoped she would focus on something more practical, like other ordinary girls. Since the conversation with her mother didn’t go well, Wei Zhi decided to leave quietly on her own. Jiang Yiming, seeing how upset Wei Zhi was after the argument with her mother, couldn't stop worrying about her. He pulled Jiang Nanfeng along to check on her.

Jiang Nanfeng noticed that Wei Zhi had taken her newly ordered skateboard with her and immediately guessed that she must have gone back to Xicheng. At Xicheng Airport, the moment Wei Zhi got off the plane, she saw Shan Chong. It felt like a dream. Overjoyed, she ran straight to him and excitedly hugged her shifu. Shan Chong was also delighted and immediately took her back to the training base. Among the group, Wei Zhi paid special attention to Lao Yan.

Strangely, he didn’t mention Jiang Nanfeng at all—weren’t they always very close? Regardless, this time in Xicheng, Shan Chong seemed different from his usual cold and serious self. Instead, he was more cheerful and even spoke more gently to Wei Zhi during training. Outside of practice, the two of them joined the others for tea and played Truth or Dare. Shan Chong treated her with extra care, and the group as a whole looked after their little shimei.

Surrounded by such a happy atmosphere, Wei Zhi found herself bursting with inspiration, producing an endless stream of new works every day. Being in Xicheng gave Wei Zhi many new insights into her comic characters, and her drawing style became more refined. The skaters at the rink noticed a Weibo address in her work and began speculating whether a comic artist was nearby.

Only Shan Chong understood that Wei Zhi had fully tapped into her potential under the influence of her surroundings. Given enough time, she was sure to create something outstanding. The time spent in Xicheng was the simplest and happiest. When exhausted from drawing, Wei Zhi would go to the training ground to skate with her shifu. When she wasn’t tired, she would continue working on her comics. In her free time, she even learned how to brew coffee.

One day, she carefully prepared her first-ever cup of coffee and excitedly presented it to Shan Chong, sweetly calling out for him to come and drink it. Shan Chong was nearly melted by her warmth, and from then on, he wore a smile on his face every single day.
