Luo Qiqi was tutoring Zhang Jun in the library when they overheard people discussing that although Luo Qiqi did well in the recent exam, her name might not be seen in the top ten of the grade next time, calling it a fleeting moment. Zhang Jun, upon hearing this, was ready to confront the person talking, but Luo Qiqi stopped him, telling him that she didn't care about such things. Ma Li, busy looking for work, received a text from Zhang Jun inviting him to his birthday celebration at his home next week. Ma Li, upon reading the message, remained silent and quietly put away his phone.

Luo Qiqi gave Zhang Jun a bottle of stars she folded herself as a birthday gift. Just as Zhang Jun was about to open it, they heard a knock on the door. Luo Qiqi told him to go and open it, and to their surprise, it was Ma Li. Carrying bags, Ma Li explained that he didn't work that day and came specifically to celebrate Zhang Jun's birthday. Ma Li started cooking in the kitchen while Luo Qiqi and Zhang Jun played games in the living room. Luo Qiqi bought a cake for Zhang Jun, who wanted to eat it before the meal to make a wish. Luo Qiqi asked Ma Li to turn off the lights, sing the birthday song, and when it was time for Zhang Jun to make a wish, she urged him not to say it out loud, as it would lose its magic. The three of them spent the birthday happily.

Later, Zhang Jun's teacher confronted him about a fight at school. Zhang Jun denied it, but when the teacher mentioned Chen Wentao's class teacher contacting them, Zhang Jun remembered that Chen Wentao was the guy in the library talking about Luo Qiqi. Zhang Jun explained to the teacher that he didn't physically fight Chen Wentao; it was just a verbal argument because Chen Wentao insulted Luo Qiqi. The teacher didn't believe him, thinking it was irrelevant to Zhang Jun whether someone ranked first or third in the class. Angry, Zhang Jun left the office and punched Chen Wentao, confirming the accusation against him. Zhang Jun felt upset because Chen Wentao falsely accused him, and no one believed him.

Zhang Jun was suspended from classes for a week. While watching Luo Qiqi organize study materials for him, he thought about what the teacher said about Luo Qiqi being a material for top universities. This motivated Zhang Jun to study hard. Luo Qiqi informed the teacher that Chen Wentao insulted her, physically attacked her, and had no evidence. Chen Wentao felt helpless. Luo Qiqi asked him how he felt, and Chen Wentao thought she was petty. Luo Qiqi said it was better than being a hypocrite. She proposed a bet, challenging him to see who would be the top student next time. Luo Qiqi and the class monitor studied together, and Luo Qiqi apologized for Zhang Jun's behavior. The class monitor reassured her, saying Zhang Jun had already apologized, and as a guy, he understood.

Luo Qiqi hoped Zhang Jun could get into the same university as her, and Zhang Jun, inspired by Luo Qiqi's dedication to studying, worked hard. Zhang Jun unexpectedly learned about the bet Luo Qiqi made with Chen Wentao to help him. Instead of being happy, he felt like he lost his self-esteem as a boy. While buying books at the bookstore, Zhang Jun ran into Xu Xiaobo. Xu Xiaobo asked him to help deliver things to Luo Qiqi and advised him to distance himself from Luo Qiqi and focus on studying. Xu Xiaobo told Zhang Jun that Luo Qiqi no longer planned to go to Beijing because of him, and he suggested Zhang Jun stay away from her.

Zhang Jun gave Luo Qiqi many stones, saying each represented a year. Luo Qiqi questioned the idea, as it would waste time. Zhang Jun explained that she still had to go to university, and Luo Qiqi felt he was acting strangely. Zhang Jun asked if she remembered being falsely accused of stealing pens when they were kids. In reality, he was the one who stole the pens and caused Luo Qiqi to be falsely accused. Luo Qiqi assured him that she didn't mind. When Luo Qiqi saw Zhang Jun sitting with some people, she approached and asked why he hadn't come to her. She made an improvement booklet for him, but Zhang Jun declined and, through a letter, told Luo Qiqi to end their friendship.
