Yu Dule was seeing everything through rose-colored glasses, thinking Guan Xingxin looked more beautiful each time he saw her. Sitting nearby, Guan Xingxin didn't notice how Yu Dule kept glancing at her. It wasn't until a friend reminded him that he snapped back to reality. Meanwhile, Gu Yi called to ask a colleague to pass a message that she wouldn’t be able to come because her mother was arriving, hoping that Yu Dule wouldn’t get upset.

When Gu Yi's mom arrived at the hotel and saw her message, she was a bit annoyed but quickly forgave her daughter. However, Gu Yi's mom felt some discomfort in her stomach. As Yu Dule warmed himself by the fire, he kept lingering around Guan Xingxin, to the point where even their friends started to feel he was overdoing it. Uncle Lu commented on feeling like a “third wheel,” and Yu Dule silently wished Uncle Lu would leave.

Yu Dule explained that he’d lost his sight temporarily, making him especially attuned to people's emotions through sound. Guan Xingxin shared her own fears about unwrapping a bandage layer by layer each day, worried that when she finally removed the last one, she might still be unable to see. Guan Xingxin said she felt like a test subject in a glass case, with her parents constantly trying to control her life, afraid she’d lose her vision again.

She felt they were overly involved in her daily life, leaving her unsure of how to handle it all. Yu Dule encouraged her not to look down on herself and to try to see things positively. Frustrated, he remarked that the campsite was falsely advertised since no meteors were visible that night. Noticing Liang Daiwen seemed down, Gu Yi wanted him to see her as someone he could confide in.

Liang Daiwen started to talk about his childhood, but was interrupted by a message from Yu Dule. Liang asked if it was from "Auntie," but Gu Yi explained that Yu Dule had just seen a star while camping. Liang then opened the sunroof of his car, and they lay there quietly, gazing up at the stars. In the morning, Gu Yi couldn’t resist inching closer to Liang Daiwen, but she quickly pulled back, embarrassed when he noticed.

Upon arriving at work, she discovered a major issue with her project. Zhang Junjie, furious, scolded her—despite being a senior, she’d let her trainee make such a critical mistake. Meanwhile, Gu Yi’s mom went to Liang Daiwen's place and began cleaning. Gu Yi was doing her best to salvage the project at work. Xu Guanrui had planned to bring her lunch but, seeing that she’d already gone home, decided to visit her there instead.

Gu Yi’s mom, concerned about her daughter being alone in the big city, had started having some extreme thoughts. Though seeing her daughter’s life brought her some happiness, she suddenly felt a pang of stomach pain. Upset over the work incident, Gu Yi was comforted by Liang Daiwen, who took her home.

Drunk, Gu Yi held tightly onto Liang as she babbled on the way, and though he seemed exasperated, he walked along, pushing his bike with her clinging to him. Xu Guanrui, coming by to see Gu Yi, was uncomfortable when he saw the two of them together, looking so close, and he left feeling uneasy. Gu Yi’s mom, still experiencing stomach discomfort, took some medicine before forcing herself to sleep.

When Gu Yi got home, she was too sick to let it out, and as she was about to scream, Liang Daiwen quickly covered her mouth. She was about to kiss him but passed out mid-way. Liang Daiwen was aware of Gu Yi’s feelings for him, yet he believed he couldn’t reciprocate her love at his current stage in life.

However, he remembered how Gu Yi had helped him through a breakdown once and thought that she might indeed hold a special place in his life.
