The Luo Qiqi family of four was having dinner when her mother suddenly left. Luo Yuanyuan asked her sister Luo Qiqi what happened to their mom, and Luo Qiqi told her that their mom had been laid off. Luo Qiqi's dad reassured her that it was okay, just taking a break, but her mom started crying. She couldn't understand why it had to be her; she had been a dedicated and outstanding employee for twenty years.

Zhang Jun also faced disciplinary action because of Chen Xiaojun's incident. In front of the whole school, he made a self-criticism. Upon hearing his voice, Luo Qiqi, feeling stunned, walked to the classroom and fell asleep. She slept the whole day with her head on the desk, and some classmates were worried about her studies, while others thought it was none of their business.

On her way home, Luo Qiqi felt someone following her. She called out to Xu Xiaobo, only to find out that the person behind her was Zhang Jun. Guan He's dad asked her how she did in the exams this time, and her sister Yingying said it definitely didn't go well. Guan He's mom mentioned that she had found a way for her; she met Hu Jianjun from the Education Bureau, who told her that their school was expanding the quota for sending students to the provincial demonstration and that Guan He might have a chance. She wanted Guan He to attend a normal school, and after graduation, she could go abroad directly.

Guan He was not very willing, as she wanted to go to college, but her mom persuaded her a lot, so she reluctantly agreed. The teacher informed them about an educational trip to Beijing, and they had to bear the cost of 800 yuan. The teacher also mentioned the issue of provincial demonstration enrollment. Luo Qiqi, hearing that there were no tuition fees and all miscellaneous fees were waived, raised her hand because she didn't want to go to Beijing with Xu Xiaobo. The class teacher told her parents about it, but Luo Qiqi's mom disagreed with her going. Luo Qiqi felt that it was her own business and didn't need their interference, thinking back to when she came to Hannan, her mom didn't care about her, so why care now.

The class teacher talked to Luo Qiqi and Guan He separately, asking if what they were doing was responsible for themselves. Their grades now could be better. The teacher wanted to persuade them to withdraw their applications, but they didn't. The teacher, looking at their determined expressions, felt both unwillingness and helplessness. When Luo Qiqi returned home, she found only her mom there, who showed her some things. She told Luo Qiqi a lot, about her grandfather and how she missed the opportunity to go to high school due to a disagreement.

Luo Qiqi's mom told her that she had disappointed her grandfather, but Luo Qiqi couldn't afford to. Her grandfather had high expectations for her, even more than she had for herself. She took out a passbook with 20,000 yuan, the money her grandfather left for her to go to college. The class monitor informed everyone about the physical fitness test in the afternoon, and those who didn't pass couldn't take the college entrance examination. Luo Qiqi happened to have her period but endured the pain to participate. She quickly became the last one due to physical exhaustion. Just when she couldn't run anymore and stopped in place, she seemed to see Zhang Jun. He pulled Luo Qiqi and ran to the finish line.

Luo Qiqi sat alone on the steps, feeling that they all ignored her. So, she decided to stay here, not going anywhere, just living at home and waiting to die, as they didn't care about her anyway. Suddenly, she heard Xiaofei's voice, saying they had already made an appointment to treat her to lamb skewers when they went to Beijing. Encouraged by her former good friends, Luo Qiqi sat there crying for a long time. She saw her younger self, who told her that some paths were like this; when you move forward, some people take a different path at the crossroads. Just like when she wanted to go home with Xiaofei as a child, but her home was in the west, why not in the south? What could she do but go back home?
