Liang Daiwen told Gu Yi’s mother about a careless remark he had made to Gu Yi in the past, implying that she was as easy to discard as a stray cat. This had caused a misunderstanding and hurt Gu Yi deeply. Her mother, now understanding why her daughter hadn’t forgiven Liang, thought his words were indeed too harsh. Liang earnestly asked for advice on how to make things right, admitting that he felt emotionally numb.

Gu Yi’s mother remarked that Liang was like a child—naive and short-sighted, but pure at heart and someone who could be trusted with her daughter’s happiness. Gu Yi and Yu Dule managed to drag Zhang Junjie to the stand-up comedy venue. However, Zhang, still drunk, kept causing a scene, vomiting and driving both of them to their wits' end.

After throwing up again, Zhang suddenly sobered up enough to lament that he had no friends before passing out on a chair. Soon after, President Huang arrived to take him away. After finishing her errands, Gu Yi returned home to find her mother and Liang Daiwen drunkenly singing together. Despite their intoxicated state, the scene was heartwarming and filled Gu Yi with happiness. Liang found her mother adorable, happily playing along with her jokes about him being a "robot.

" The two were chatting animatedly. Gu Yi, watching Liang lean against her shoulder, felt a mix of emotions. The next morning, when Zhang Junjie sobered up, she felt embarrassed to see her ex-husband. Though reluctant, she awkwardly accepted his concern. However, Zhang lashed out at him with sharp words, recounting the painful memories of having to terminate a pregnancy under pressure from her mother-in-law, which eventually led to their divorce despite their deep love for each other.

Holding back tears, she left. Meanwhile, as Gu Yi was leaving for work, Liang Daiwen hugged her tightly, pleading for forgiveness. Caught off guard, Gu Yi felt embarrassed, especially when her mother witnessed the scene. Guan Xingxin was about to head out when her adoptive parents stopped her, firmly insisting that she stay home. Though they didn’t explicitly forbid her from leaving, their tone was unyielding. Knowing her adoptive mother’s controlling nature, Guan had no choice but to retreat quietly.

At home, Liang Daiwen was working on his art, while Gu Yi’s mother went for a medical follow-up and discovered her condition had worsened, leaving her with only six months to live. She endured the physical pain, determined to ensure her daughter’s future happiness. On a whim, she entered a shoe store and decided to buy herself a new pair of high heels.

Xu Guanrui vented to Zhang Junjie about how unreasonable Guan Xingxin’s adoptive mother was, mentioning setbacks in their advertising campaign despite their hard work. Zhang Junjie, who secretly admired Gu Yi, was invited by her to join her for a barbecue. During the meal, Zhang confided that there was no chance of reconciling with President Huang.

She disliked his controlling nature and declared that if she ever got drunk again, she didn’t want him to be the one to take her home. Zhang encouraged Gu Yi to boldly pursue her career goals without relying on anyone. Later, when Gu Yi was about to head home, it started raining heavily. Liang Daiwen suddenly appeared, surprising her.

The two walked together through the streets, and Gu Yi noticed that Liang seemed to have changed—he was more expressive and open about his emotions. When he moved closer, Gu Yi instinctively backed away, but Liang reassured her, saying he had promised her mother not to act impulsively. Then, as if discovering a new world, Liang suddenly confessed his feelings, leaving Gu Yi momentarily stunned.

Gu Yi was taken aback when her mother announced she wanted to transfer the house to her. Although Gu Yi felt something was off, she didn’t realize her mother’s condition had worsened. The next day, Gu Yi planned to take her mother back to their hometown in the Northeast. Upon learning this, Liang tried to express his reluctance to be left behind, feigning a pitiful look to convince Gu Yi to let him join them. Gu Yi initially refused but eventually gave in after her mother insisted on taking Liang along.
