Xu Mu participated in a quick Q&A session on the street. When the reporter asked her what she would say if she met her crush, Xu Mu replied that she has a poor memory and wouldn't remember even if she met him. Xie Shi also participated in the same interview. When asked what he would say to his crush, Xie Shi thought that whatever he said, she might not remember anyway.

After he left, the reporters all felt that the two of them were a perfect match, like in a TV drama. Xie Shi saw Xu Mu's silhouette and stood there watching for a long time. Xu Mu faced various demands from a man on a blind date, but she just smiled without saying anything. The man asked her if she was nearsighted, saying that if both of them were nearsighted, it would affect their children in the future.

Xu Mu felt that this man was not to her liking at all and told him that they should not meet again. Xie Shi's friend Shen Yi asked him how long he planned to stay this time. Xie Shi said he had applied for a transfer and would not be leaving this time. Shen Yi was so excited that he jumped up from the sofa and suggested they go eat together.

Xu Mu and Song Niannian were having barbecue together when Xu Mu's mother called to scold her about another failed blind date. Xu Mu made an excuse to hang up the phone. Song Niannian asked if she had been heartbroken by a scumbag, wondering why she had failed six blind dates. Xu Mu felt that marriage is not like shopping, where you only look for cost-effectiveness.

The main issue was that those men didn't truly fancy her; they just thought she met their criteria. Song Niannian said that nowadays, relationships lack genuine feelings and that the purest relationships were during student days. She asked Xu Mu how the boy who sat next to her in school was doing. Xu Mu asked who she meant. Song Niannian said, "Xie Shi.

" Xu Mu said she had long forgotten him and wouldn't recognize him even if he stood in front of her now. Coincidentally, Xie Shi, who was dining in the same place, overheard these words and walked away feeling disappointed. Xu Mu glanced in the direction Xie Shi left, and when Song Niannian asked what she was looking at, Xu Mu said she just saw someone familiar.

When Xu Mu returned home, she was annoyed by her roommate in their shared apartment. Feeling frustrated, she lay down on her bed. Just then, a message came through the work group chat about an important meeting the next day, urging everyone not to be late. However, Xu Mu's roommate was still playing loud music. Xu Mu told a colleague that the team leader Liao seemed different from usual. As they spoke, someone said, "He's here.

" Xu Mu turned and saw Xie Shi arrive. She asked her colleague if that person was the Director Jiang they were talking about, and the colleague confirmed it. During the meeting, Xie Shi suddenly asked Xu Mu for her opinion on the current plan. Xu Mu shared her thoughts, saying that people their age like to check in at various places. Xie Shi was pleased with Xu Mu's plan and asked her to further refine it.

After the meeting, Xu Mu called out to Director Jiang and asked if he knew someone named Xie Shi. Xie Shi asked if she thought he looked like him. Xu Mu said she might have mistaken him for someone else. Xu Mu told Song Niannian about this, and Song Niannian asked if she had a photo of Director Jiang, Jiang Zhou, for her to see.

Xu Mu said she didn't, and Song Niannian asked her to take a photo the next day. During a meeting, Xu Mu asked her colleague Zhao Yusi to take over and supplement the discussion while she hurriedly went outside the meeting room to take two photos of Jiang Zhou to send to Song Niannian. Unexpectedly, Xu Mu's WeChat was logged in on her computer, and Zhao Yusi hadn't logged out. The photos of Jiang Zhou appeared on the big screen.

As Zhao Yusi was about to close the computer, Jiang Zhou spoke up and told Xu Mu to turn it off herself. Xu Mu had no choice but to go in and do it. After the meeting, team leader Liao asked Xu Mu to replace them and take Jiang Zhou out for a meal. During the meal, Xu Mu noticed that Jiang Zhou used his left hand, reminding her that her old desk mate, Xie Shi, was also left-handed.

Xu Mu asked if he preferred using his left hand, but Jiang Zhou did not admit it, saying he used both hands. However, Xu Mu had already guessed that he was Xie Shi and tried every way to prove that Director Jiang was Xie Shi.

Xu Mu bought some medicine and discovered that it should be used with caution by those with allergies. She planned to exchange it because she had fainted from an allergic reaction in high school. Jiang Zhou advised her not to go, reminding her that her high school allergy was due to eating too many peanuts. Hearing this, Xu Mu asked Jiang Zhou to stop pretending and admit that he was Xie Shi.

Xie Shi said she was the one who pretended not to recognize him first. Xu Mu retorted that she said that casually, wondering why he held such a grudge. Xie Shi responded that he held grudges selectively and suggested they go eat first, advising Xu Mu to take her medicine afterward. Xu Mu declined the meal and asked Xie Shi to take her home.

Xie Shi insisted that skipping a meal would make her hungry and told Xu Mu to wait while he fetched the car. During their meal, Xie Shi suddenly reached out to Xu Mu. Xu Mu thought he was going to attack her, but Xie Shi was just helping her remove some dust from her clothes. Xu Mu felt embarrassed for misunderstanding him. She later complained to Song Niannian about Xie Shi giving her gifts even when she was sick.

Song Niannian thought it was a good opportunity to strengthen relations with the client and joked that Xu Mu seemed like a princess sent to marry for peace. Song Niannian suggested Xu Mu give Xie Shi an Ultraman figurine and ask if he believed in light. Xu Mu told her to stop joking. Song Niannian then pointed to a nearby tie shop, suggesting a tie as a gift.

Xu Mu wondered if it would be too intimate, but Song Niannian reassured her that it wasn’t like giving underwear. The two entered the tie shop, and Xu Mu selected a tie to be wrapped and included a card addressed to Jiang Zhou. Just as she finished, she heard a girl call out "Jiang Zhou gege. " She stepped out to see a girl holding Jiang Zhou's arm.

Jiang Zhou was also surprised to see Chen Xi there, who had just returned from abroad. Song Niannian told Xu Mu she had something to do and left. Xu Mu hid and watched Xie Shi being entangled by Chen Xi. However, Xie Shi noticed Xu Mu hiding in the corner and called out to her. He asked if she had something to discuss with him. Xu Mu denied it and tried to leave.

At that moment, the shop assistant came over to tell Xu Mu that her boyfriend's tie was ready and the card was written. The assistant offered Xu Mu some tips, saying that even a general could be won over, let alone Jiang Zhou. Jiang Zhou and Chen Xi overheard this, leaving Xu Mu embarrassed and speechless. She asked the assistant to focus on her work. Xu Mu, not knowing how to explain to Chen Xi, asked Xie Shi for help.

Xie Shi refused to get involved, causing Chen Xi to leave angrily. Xie Shi then asked Xu Mu to explain why she called him her boyfriend. Xu Mu prepared to explain that team leader Liao asked her to buy the tie, but Xie Shi questioned if she intended to explain right there. Xu Mu asked where he wanted to go, and Xie Shi suggested any ordinary restaurant would do.

Shen Yi’s father arranged for him to train at his company for three months, promising to restore his credit card if he succeeded. When Shen Yi introduced himself at the company, his colleagues reacted with surprise, as a notorious villain in a recently popular novel shared his name. Shen Yi realized that the novel was written by his high school classmate, Song Jinxin, also known as Song Niannian.

Song Niannian told Xu Mu about encountering Shen Yi, while Shen Yi shared the same with Xie Shi. Both lamented their bad luck, unaware that this was the beginning of their intertwined fates. Zhao Yusi asked Xu Mu how Jiang Zhou differed from his high school days. Xu Mu said he was even harder to get along with back then. Just as she finished, Jiang Zhou appeared behind them, asking Xu Mu to review some work with him.

Xu Mu’s team completed their task successfully, so they decided to celebrate at a restaurant. During the meal, they played Truth or Dare. When it was Xu Mu's turn, her colleagues dared her to hug the first person who walked through the door.

The first person to walk through the door was Jiang Zhou. Xu Mu wobbled over to him, drunkenly asking why there were two Director Jiangs. Jiang Zhou knew she was drunk. Xu Mu asked which one she should hug, and Jiang Zhou said, "This one. " Xu Mu then hugged Jiang Zhou. When it was Jiang Zhou's turn for truth or dare, Zhao Yusi asked if he liked anyone.

Jiang Zhou looked at the drunken Xu Mu and said he did. Xu Mu woke up to find herself on a big bed in a hotel room. She remembered ranting about her roommate with Zhao Yusi last night. Suddenly, Xie Shi walked out. He asked if Xu Mu had forgotten everything. Xu Mu felt like she had amnesia, unable to remember anything. Xie Shi handed her a set of clothes to change into and said he would take her home.

Xu Mu asked if she had changed into the clothes herself last night, and Xie Shi said no. On the way home, Xu Mu kept thinking about what happened last night. She remembered saying that if Xie Shi weren't so sharp-tongued and strict at work, he would actually be a good person. Xu Mu then swore she would never badmouth him again. When she opened her phone, she saw a photo of the two of them.

Xu Mu remembered that last night, she had drunkenly pulled Xie Shi's tie and told him he looked good, then took a photo together. Xu Mu had even posted the photo on her social media, and her friends were all commenting on how well she kept secrets. After returning home, Xu Mu called Song Niannian. Song Niannian suggested that Xu Mu prepare some wedding candies and distribute them to her colleagues the next day.

Xu Mu told her to stop talking about it, but Song Niannian said it wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at least for now, it didn't seem to be. The next day, as soon as Xu Mu arrived at the company, Team Leader Liao started praising her for doing a good job keeping secrets. Just as Xu Mu was about to explain, Jiang Zhou arrived. Team Leader Liao had Xu Mu sit next to Jiang Zhou to report her work.

Xu Mu felt extremely embarrassed and rushed out as soon as the meeting ended. Jiang Zhou called after her, but Xu Mu said that because she got drunk, they shouldn't spend time together for a while. Xu Mu felt sorry for Jiang Zhou and suggested buying him a coffee. They went to a coffee shop, and Xu Mu asked Jiang Zhou to wait while she bought the coffee.

While buying coffee, Xu Mu ran into her ex-boyfriend, who invited her to a gathering. Xu Mu thought it was fine for them to be together against the odds, but she wouldn't go to the gathering. Her ex-boyfriend insulted her, saying his current girlfriend was prettier and richer than her. Xu Mu felt he was joking and said she had changed her mind; she would attend the wedding and show them how self-confident she was. Just then, Jiang Zhou came over.

Xu Mu's ex-boyfriend recognized him as her new boyfriend and invited them both to the gathering and his future wedding. After he left, Jiang Zhou asked Xu Mu what to do about the gathering. Xu Mu said she would think of a solution. Jiang Zhou told her that his parents would return to the country in a few days and that Chen Xi had told them he was dating her. His family wanted him to bring Xu Mu to dinner.

Jiang Zhou proposed that Xu Mu accompany him to dinner, and he would go with her to the gathering. This way, they would be helping each other. Shen Yi's boss asked him to accompany the editor-in-chief of Limited Time Love, Song Jinxin, and said he would be there shortly. Upon hearing it was Song Jinxin, Shen Yi asked his supervisor if someone else could go. The supervisor told him not to be picky.

Song Niannian informed Supervisor Zhao that her work would be handed over to Shen Yi. Although Shen Yi was very reluctant, he had to comply for the sake of his bank account. Xu Mu and Song Niannian were having coffee at One Week Café, which was co-owned by Jiang Zhou and Shen Yi. Shen Yi told Jiang Zhou to come quickly as Song Niannian was badmouthing him. Song Niannian agreed to sign a contract with Shen Yi's company, and Shen Yi repeatedly confirmed it with her to be sure.

Xie Shi saw Xu Mu walk out in a white dress and was stunned. Xu Mu asked if he could help her put on a necklace, as she had been struggling with it at home for a long time. Xie Shi took the necklace and helped her put it on. Xu Mu urged Xie Shi to hurry up so they wouldn't be late.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Xu Mu mentioned she was very nervous about meeting his family for the first time. Xie Shi told her not to worry and to just follow his lead. Xu Mu said she didn't want to follow him closely, or everyone's attention would be on her. So, Xie Shi suggested she go up first while he parked the car. As soon as Xu Mu arrived, she ran into Chen Xi.

Chen Xi asked how long she and Xie Shi had been together. Xu Mu told her it was almost their first anniversary. Chen Xi was furious, questioning how Xie Shi could like someone like Xu Mu. Xu Mu replied that she didn't know what type Xie Shi liked, but it definitely wasn't Chen Xi's type. This made Chen Xi's face turn green with anger, just as someone called her name.

Turning around, Xu Mu bumped into the man she had gone on a blind date with before. He asked if she was also here with a free ticket, explaining that everyone here was a big shot and he had pulled many strings to get in. Considering their past blind date, he offered to introduce her to some people, saying he was here for Jiang Zhou, the director of the company.

Xu Mu made an excuse to leave and called Song Niannian to tell her about it. Song Niannian said she had long noticed that Jiang Zhou was different from others. Just then, Jiang Zhou arrived after parking his car. Chen Xi, seeing Jiang Zhou standing beside Xu Mu, was displeased and went over to chat with Xu Mu's former blind date. Xie Shi then introduced Xu Mu to his aunt.

Xie Shi's aunt thought Xu Mu was too thin and asked if it was because she was busy working overtime with Xie Shi. She mentioned that if it weren't for Chen Xi telling her, Xie Shi would still be hiding his relationship from her. She wondered if she was so intimidating that Xie Shi was afraid she would bully Xu Mu.

She also remarked that Xie Shi wasn't likable and hadn't had a single girlfriend for so many years, only a boy with the surname Shen, implying something before Xie Shi interrupted her. Before they could say much, Chen Xi came over and asked Xu Mu if their relationship had been sweet after more than a year. Xie Shi's aunt then asked who had pursued whom. To avoid embarrassing Xu Mu, Xie Shi said he had pursued Xu Mu.

His aunt felt that a girl who could make Xie Shi take the initiative must be extraordinary. Chen Xi pretended to let something slip and mentioned that Xu Mu was still going on blind dates last month. Xie Shi then said it was his fault, as he had been too busy with work and neglected Xu Mu's feelings.

He explained that he had returned to the country to reconnect with Xu Mu and confessed that he had liked her from the moment he first saw her but hadn't had the chance to express his feelings. Xu Mu knew Xie Shi was helping her out, but she didn't know he was speaking the truth. Later, Xie Shi and Xu Mu took a walk on the beach together.

Xu Mu received a call from her mother, who asked why she hadn't mentioned she was in a relationship and told her to bring her boyfriend home the next day. If Xu Mu wasn't in a relationship, her mother said she should continue with blind dates. Not wanting to go on blind dates, Xu Mu told her mother she was already in a relationship. Xie Shi overheard their conversation and proposed a solution.

He explained that he didn't have time to meet other girls because of work, and career advancement considered both work ability and family stability. Since Xu Mu didn't want to go on blind dates either, he suggested they sign a dating contract. Xu Mu and Song Niannian were out for a walk when they saw Shen Yi driving. They mistakenly thought Shen Yi was working as a part-time driver, but it was actually his father returning his car to him.

Xu Mu's roommate had let a friend sleep in Xu Mu's bedroom, which made Xu Mu very angry, and they had a big argument. Just then, Xie Shi and Xu Mu's mother arrived and witnessed the scene. Both Xu Mu's mother and Xie Shi felt that Xu Mu needed a new roommate. Xie Shi suggested that she move in with him.

Xu Mu told Song Niannian that ever since she started the thing with Xie Shi, her mother hadn't pressured her anymore. A few days ago, her mom even asked her which travel group was better. Song Niannian thought this was great, saying it gave both Xu Mu and herself a break. She asked how things were going between Xu Mu and Xie Shi, and Xu Mu said they were going well.

The two were shopping at the supermarket when Xu Mu picked up two bags of chips, asking Song Niannian which one to choose—one had nice packaging and the other had a catchy slogan. Song Niannian told her not to hesitate and threw both bags into the cart, telling Xu Mu she'd pay for them. Xie Shi and Shen Yi were also shopping at the supermarket.

Shen Yi asked Xie Shi why he moved in with Xu Mu if they were just dating. He wondered how he would hang out with Xie Shi if Xu Mu started being strict with him. Xie Shi told him to go hang out with Song Niannian instead. Shen Yi said he couldn't imagine how Xie Shi dated or acted affectionate with Xu Mu. He asked if Xie Shi called Xu Mu "wife" in private.

Xie Shi told him to find a girlfriend himself if he was so curious. Shen Yi said it was his first time seeing Xie Shi in a relationship, so he was naturally curious. As they pushed their shopping cart, they ran into Xu Mu and Song Niannian. Seeing Shen Yi's cart full of groceries, Song Niannian asked if he could cook since he bought so many ingredients.

Xie Shi said those were his, and Song Niannian commented to Xu Mu that her boyfriend was quite domestic. Shen Yi saw that Song Niannian's cart was full of snacks and asked if she could eat all that junk food. Xu Mu said they were hers, and Shen Yi remarked to Xie Shi that his girlfriend had quite the appetite. When Xie Shi and Xu Mu returned home, Xie Shi started putting things in the fridge, and the doorbell rang.

Xu Mu quickly answered it, finding a property management worker who asked if Mr. Jiang was home. He inquired about Xu Mu's relationship with Mr. Jiang. Before Xu Mu could reply, Xie Shi said she was his girlfriend. Xie Shi explained that since he traveled frequently for work, he added Xu Mu to the owners' group chat so she could contact property management if needed.

As soon as Xu Mu joined the group, property management asked her to update her notes, so Xu Mu changed her name to "Resident of 1202. " The people in the group chat started commenting, saying the owner of 1202 had already moved in a while ago. Someone else asked if she was Xie Shi's girlfriend. Another person guessed she must be his wife since she was added to the owners' group chat.

Xie Shi explained that he often traveled for work and didn't want to miss any important messages, so he added Xu Mu. Xu Mu suggested he should reply to each message individually to avoid misunderstandings, but Xie Shi told her to explain herself if needed. Xu Mu checked the group messages and decided to leave it be.

Xie Shi then told her that a friend he hadn't seen in a while would be visiting their home this week, and she could meet them casually. Xu Mu felt a bit nervous, but Xie Shi told her not to worry. When Xie Shi's friends arrived, Xu Mu asked what she should call him. Xie Shi said to use the same term as last time. Xu Mu thought for a moment and blurted out "husband.

" Xie Shi's friends were stunned and commented on how sweet they were, saying it was impressive they were so affectionate even after being together for a short time. After Xie Shi's friends left, Song Niannian sent Xu Mu a message, saying that a friend of hers was organizing a couple's event at Bohai Bay and invited them to join for free, promising to pair them with a handsome guy.

Xu Mu asked if she should tell Xie Shi, and Song Niannian questioned if they were at the point of reporting their schedules to each other. Xu Mu decided to tell Xie Shi, and Xie Shi, who overheard, said he would go with her tomorrow. Xu Mu mentioned there would be another guy, so Xie Shi said he would handle it and called Shen Yi.

The four of them arrived at Bohai Bay, and the organizers arranged two rooms with king-sized beds. Shen Yi suggested he share a room with Song Niannian, saying Xu Mu and Xie Shi shouldn't be separated. Both Xu Mu and Song Niannian objected, so Xie Shi proposed that the two girls share a room. Xu Mu and Xie Shi participated in the couple's event and won first place.

Song Niannian teased them, saying it was funny how a fake couple like them beat all the real couples. Xu Mu asked Xie Shi if he had any regrets, and Xie Shi said he had many.

Xie Shi was jealous that Xu Mu had a dream about a handsome guy the previous night. Xu Mu tried to discuss the project plan with him, but Xie Shi refused to look at it. Xu Mu hurriedly followed him to the elevator to talk. Unexpectedly, they ran into Xie Shi's colleagues who had come to meet him. Xu Mu awkwardly greeted them before leaving.

During the meeting, a colleague told Xie Shi that the proposal from Shangxin was heavily promoted because they wanted to replace the next partner company with theirs. After reviewing it, Xie Shi thought it was a mess. Team Leader Liao looked dejected that morning. Colleagues and Xu Mu asked him what was wrong, and he said that Liji announced that morning that they might not consider their future work anymore.

Team Leader Liao said he heard that Liji didn't even look at their proposal. Zhao Yusi was furious, questioning why they would treat Xu Mu like this after all her hard work. Xu Mu remembered what Xie Shi had said in the morning. Team Leader Liao asked if things were okay between Xu Mu and Jiang Zhou. Xu Mu said the rejection might be because of her.

Xu Mu went home and called Song Niannian, saying she only teased him a little, and he wouldn't even look at the proposal. Song Niannian asked what she would do, and Xu Mu said she'd try to make it up to him. Just then, Xie Shi returned. Xu Mu had prepared a lavish meal to please him. Xu Mu boasted that her dishes looked, smelled, and tasted great. Xie Shi remarked that her skill at lying had improved.

Xu Mu took a bite to show him but immediately spat it out. Xie Shi said he understood what she was trying to do and revealed that he had just learned about the proposal being rejected. It was all the company's doing, and he was investigating it. He asked Xu Mu not to tell anyone else to avoid further complications. Xu Mu realized she had misunderstood Xie Shi and offered to give him a massage, but he refused.

Song Niannian's script received feedback that the romance parts were too naive and needed improvement. Xu Mu asked when Song Niannian had so much dating experience, and Song Niannian replied that she had seen many romance genres. Xu Mu said those weren't real people and suggested Song Niannian go experience a real romance. Song Niannian asked with whom she should date, saying her expectations for romance had diminished. She felt there were too few good men in real life.

Xu Mu insisted that there were good men out there and asked if Song Niannian really wasn't interested. Song Niannian said she didn't mind, noting that no guy had ever wanted to date her since she was young. Xu Mu said that was their loss and suggested Song Niannian watch some romance movies to learn. Song Niannian watched movies at Shen Yi's coffee shop until closing time when Shen Yi suddenly appeared in front of her.

Song Niannian asked if he would like her if he were a guy. Shen Yi asked what she meant by "if he were a guy. " Song Niannian explained that if she had been in a relationship, she wouldn't be criticized for writing unromantic scripts. Shen Yi then realized Song Niannian had never dated anyone and suggested she ask someone with experience, like him.

After hearing his lengthy explanation, Song Niannian thought she might as well watch Korean dramas at home. Shen Yi told her there was a quicker way: he would help her experience dating, and they started doing some couple activities. Xu Mu's rival, Fang Jingjing, requested to join their team. Fang Jingjing originally wanted to work with Liji, but unexpectedly, Liji decided not to renew their contract after she joined.

Xu Mu and Fang Jingjing went out to discuss business and coincidentally ran into Xie Shi at the same restaurant. Fang Jingjing assumed Xu Mu and Xie Shi had broken up and told Xie Shi that old relationships should end to make way for new ones. Xie Shi replied that while things might be classified as old or new, his girlfriend was distinct from ordinary people.

Xie Shi had resolved the proposal issue, and Liji's subsequent work would still be handled by Xu Mu. Team Leader Liao happily announced this news to everyone. Xu Mu prepared dinner and bought a cake, waiting for Xie Shi to come home.

Song Niannian was pacing back and forth in front of Shen Yi's coffee shop, hesitating whether to go in and apologize to Shen Yi. She felt it wasn't necessary to make a special trip, but then she thought that if something happened to Shen Yi, the police would probably come looking for her. With that thought, she walked in. Shen Yi asked why she was there.

Song Niannian said she was looking for Xu Mu but called Shen Yi when she couldn't reach her. Shen Yi asked why she called him if she was looking for Xu Mu. Embarrassed, Song Niannian said she would leave since Xu Mu wasn't there. Shen Yi told her to stay and offered her a drink. Song Niannian insisted she wouldn't tell him she was there to apologize. Shen Yi admitted he was wrong too and shouldn't have acted that way.

Song Niannian said she was also at fault and shouldn't have imposed her thoughts on others. Shen Yi was about to explain his troubles when Song Niannian interrupted, saying she understood. Just then, Shen Yi's phone rang. Shen Yi's father arrived outside the coffee shop, prompting Shen Yi to quickly turn off the lights and hide with Song Niannian. After his father left, Shen Yi turned the lights back on.

Song Niannian noticed many design sketches and asked what they were. Shen Yi explained it was a small business venture he was working on. Song Niannian realized this was why Shen Yi was avoiding his father. Shen Yi then showed her a half-finished guide dog prototype he had been working on. He asked Song Niannian to look at his guide dog prototype. Song Niannian asked if this was the reason he insisted on working there.

Shen Yi explained that he had wanted to work on this project since college, but his father had secretly changed his major to finance. Song Niannian told Shen Yi he was impressive and that she thought the intelligent guide dog was pretty cool. When Xie Shi got home, he found Xu Mu asleep while waiting for him, with a table full of delicious food.

Xie Shi picked up a note from the table, on which Xu Mu had written her gratitude for helping her get her job back. The next morning, Xie Shi made two breakfasts and told Xu Mu to eat quickly and not worry about cleaning up. Xu Mu asked why he came home so late the previous night and if he had tried the cake. She mentioned she hadn't tasted it because she was too tired.

Xie Shi then took Xu Mu's cake from the fridge. Xu Mu asked where they were going later, and Xie Shi said they were going to their high school. Xu Mu mentioned she had been there many times but never went inside. Xie Shi said he had business there and offered to take her along. They arrived at their high school campus and reminisced about their high school days. Xu Mu ran into her former advanced math teacher, Mr.

Zhang, who remembered how she cried in his office for an entire class period because she couldn't understand math. Mr. Zhang asked when they were getting married, saying he was waiting for their wedding banquet. Xu Mu asked how he knew, and Mr. Zhang said all the teachers in the office knew from her social media posts. They went to their old classroom, and Xu Mu was surprised to find that the desks and chairs hadn't changed over the years.

She said sitting next to Xie Shi was very stressful. When Xie Shi asked for examples, Xu Mu explained that she couldn't leave her seat during breaks because it would get taken over by others who wanted to talk to Xie Shi about homework. She also mentioned that everyone piled their assignments on her desk because they didn't want to crowd Xie Shi's desk. Xu Mu told Xie Shi that her seat had good feng shui.

After he left, another popular student took the seat. This new student had a very different personality from Xie Shi but looked quite similar and was also a top student. Xie Shi asked if it was a boy or girl, and Xu Mu said it was a boy. When Xie Shi asked if she also sat next to this new boy, Xu Mu replied that without Xie Shi's presence, she was moved to the last row.

While Xie Shi was on a business trip, Xu Mu participated in a cake-baking activity in their community. During the activity, two neighbors asked if Xu Mu was Xie Shi's wife. Xu Mu said she was still his girlfriend. One of the neighbors took a photo of Xu Mu and posted it in the neighborhood group chat, saying that Xie Shi's girlfriend was participating in an activity for the first time and asking everyone to take good care of her.

Xu Mu was sitting on the sofa looking at illustrations when Xie Shi asked her when she became interested in them. Xu Mu explained that it was because a new round of promotions for their company was coming up. They wanted to avoid using celebrities and were considering illustrators for marketing, as illustrations were quite popular at the moment. She was looking for inspiration. Xie Shi thought her idea was great, and Xu Mu thanked him for the compliment.

In a meeting, Xu Mu shared her idea with her colleagues, and Team Leader Liao also thought it was a good idea. He asked if Xu Mu knew any illustrators who were both popular and fit their theme. Xu Mu suggested Zhang Yao, whom she had followed for some time. Her colleagues knew of Zhang Yao but had never met him.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jingjing sarcastically remarked that she thought Xu Mu and Zhang Yao knew each other, implying Xu Mu wasn't capable. Fang Jingjing then mentioned she could contact the illustrator Luo Xiaoxiao, who was within their budget and had a similar style to Zhang Yao. Team Leader Liao approved and asked Xu Mu and Fang Jingjing to contact Luo Xiaoxiao together. When they finished work, it started raining. Xu Mu noticed someone without an umbrella holding a painting.

She gave her umbrella to that person and shared an umbrella with a colleague. The person wanted to thank Xu Mu, but she told him it was just an umbrella and no thanks were needed. Song Niannian showed her revised script to the screenwriter, who was very pleased with her changes. The screenwriter asked where she found the inspiration, and Song Niannian said it was from a friend's story.

The screenwriter encouraged her to continue with this feeling, confident the audience would love it. Song Niannian later told Xu Mu that she had incorporated her experiences with Shen Yi into the script and received positive feedback. Xu Mu asked Zhao Yusi about the progress with Luo Xiaoxiao. Zhao Yusi told her that Luo Xiaoxiao had canceled on them. Xu Mu asked when this happened and why she wasn't informed. Zhao Yusi said she found out that morning.

Xu Mu, looking dejected, was approached by Fang Jingjing, who guessed it was because Luo Xiaoxiao wasn't coming. Zhao Yusi speculated about who might have sabotaged them, while Fang Jingjing reminded Xu Mu that she was supposed to handle the follow-up. Team Leader Liao arrived, and Fang Jingjing informed him of the situation. He told Xu Mu to find a backup illustrator or try to talk to Luo Xiaoxiao again, pretending to give it another shot herself.

Xu Mu stayed late at the office, working hard to find a suitable illustrator. Zhang Yao received Xu Mu's message and recognized her name. Zhang Yao agreed to meet with Xu Mu, who was thrilled. She excitedly told Xie Shi about it, hugging him as he walked through the door. Xie Shi smiled happily. The next day, Xu Mu dressed up to meet Zhang Yao. Xie Shi asked if Zhang Yao was a man.

Xu Mu replied that she had never met Zhang Yao but thought, based on his Weibo, that he was a woman. After a pause, Xie Shi told her to be careful. At the meeting place, Xu Mu realized that Zhang Yao was the person she had given the umbrella to the other day. Xu Mu expressed her surprise, and Zhang Yao pointed out that their meeting was planned.

Xu Mu handed over her project proposal, but Zhang Yao said he trusted her without needing to read it. Their cooperation was thus agreed upon. Xie Shi was at home when the doorbell rang. Thinking it was Xu Mu, he happily opened the door, only to find Shen Yi. At the company, Fang Jingjing sarcastically asked Xu Mu if she had found a new illustrator. Xu Mu confidently replied that she had found Zhang Yao.

As Xu Mu and Zhang Yao's meetings increased, Xie Shi started to feel jealous. Meanwhile, the relationship between Shen Yi and Song Niannian was also progressing.

Shen Yi had just bought a drink when he saw Song Niannian arrive wearing the same color shirt as him, making him stop in his tracks. Song Niannian asked if he noticed their clothes looked similar, to which Shen Yi replied that they must be wearing couple's outfits. Song Niannian casually remarked that it didn't matter since they wore the same uniforms back in high school anyway. The two went to watch a movie together.

After the movie, Shen Yi asked if she thought being compatible or being in love was more important. Song Niannian felt that the two weren't mutually exclusive and wondered why they couldn't choose someone they liked and who was also compatible. Shen Yi said that having both was challenging since finding someone compatible was already hard enough. Song Niannian disagreed, saying it wasn't difficult. She thought they both had the compatibility part down and now just needed to find love.

She didn't finish her sentence and quickly left. Shen Yi chased after her, asking why she was walking so fast and pointing out she hadn't finished speaking. Meanwhile, Xu Mu and Zhang Yao were discussing their project plans when Xie Shi and his colleague came by for some work. Xie Shi's colleague pointed out that the guy next to Xu Mu was the same one who had lunch with her previously.

Hearing this, Xie Shi went over to find Xu Mu. Zhang Yao invited Xu Mu to dinner after work, but just then, Xie Shi called out to her. Xu Mu introduced them to each other, and her phone rang. Xu Mu stepped out to take the call, and Xie Shi suggested Zhang Yao explore the many fun places around if he had time. Zhao Yusi mentioned to Zhang Yao that Xie Shi's girlfriend was a long-time fan of his.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao invited Xie Shi and his girlfriend to his art exhibition. Zhao Yusi pointed out Xu Mu, who was not far away, and told Zhang Yao that she was Xie Shi's girlfriend. Xie Shi asked Xu Mu if Zhang Yao had invited her to dinner. Xu Mu confirmed but said she hadn't answered before Xie Shi called her. While shopping at the supermarket, they came across some cake samples.

Xu Mu tried one and liked it, wanting to buy some. Xie Shi reminded her that their fridge was already full, and they wouldn't be able to finish it all. The cake vendor commented that a girlfriend should be pampered, saying, "A good wife brings fortune. " Hearing this, Xie Shi happily bought a box of cakes. Song Niannian planned to ask Shen Yi out for dinner, but Supervisor Zhao wouldn't let Shen Yi leave at the end of the day.

Shen Yi said he had plans, but Supervisor Zhao dismissed him, saying he couldn't have anything important to do. Song Niannian witnessed this and remarked that Supervisor Zhao seemed to be the most idle person in the company. Annoyed, Supervisor Zhao retorted that he didn't know who would read novels written by someone with such a temper as hers. Song Niannian shot back, saying her readers wouldn't be someone who exploited employees like him.

Infuriated, Supervisor Zhao yelled that just because she could write a few lousy books didn't mean she was special, and threatened to replace her. Shen Yi, unable to tolerate this any longer, asked if Supervisor Zhao believed he could get him fired. Supervisor Zhao scoffed, asking who Shen Yi thought he was and if he believed he owned the company. Shen Yi handed him some documents, revealing evidence of Supervisor Zhao's abuse of power and corruption.

Supervisor Zhao angrily asked if Shen Yi was trying to rebel, declaring he would fire both Shen Yi and Song Niannian. Before he could finish, Assistant Zhang from the chairman's office arrived, saying the chairman had been trying to call and sent him to check in. Supervisor Zhao thought the call was for him, but Assistant Zhang clarified it wasn't. It turned out Shen Yi was the chairman's son. Hearing this, Supervisor Zhao turned pale.

Zhang Yao wanted to invite Xu Mu to dinner, but Xie Shi booked a restaurant and invited everyone, including Zhang Yao. During dinner, Xu Mu's mother called on video chat. Xie Shi told his colleagues he needed to step out with Xu Mu. After the call, Xu Mu commented on Xie Shi's improving acting skills, noting that without it, her mother would have figured out they were pretending. Zhang Yao overheard this conversation. Meanwhile, Xie Shi's childhood friend Qiao Nan returned, and Fang Jingjing resumed her sarcastic remarks towards Xu Mu.

Xu Mu was setting up the art exhibition at the event venue when Zhang Yao arrived. Xu Mu mentioned that she wasn't ready yet and asked why he had arrived early. Zhang Yao replied that it was his first time organizing an art exhibition at a homestay, so he came early to take a look. Zhang Yao said it looked pretty good, and Xie Shi arrived with Qiao Nan.

Zhang Yao accidentally got bumped, and Xu Mu quickly showed concern, asking if he was okay. This scene was seen by Xie Shi, and Qiao Nan asked if he wanted to go over. Xie Shi replied that they should focus on work first. Xu Mu asked Zhang Yao if he had ever thought about where to hold his first illustration exhibition.

Zhang Yao said he had considered an art museum or a park but didn't expect to hold it at a homestay, which he found quite interesting. Just as they exchanged a few words, Zhao Yusi called Xu Mu over for something, and Xu Mu said goodbye to Zhang Yao. While fixing the leg of an easel, Xu Mu overheard Qiao Nan mention that Xie Shi had left his clothes at her house last time.

She watched them leave together, feeling dejected. Xu Mu asked Xie Shi if Qiao Nan had always worked at the headquarters. Xie Shi said yes, Qiao Nan had been there longer than he had. Xu Mu was about to ask about him and Qiao Nan when Xie Shi's phone rang—it turned out there was an issue with the tour exhibition. After the call, Xie Shi asked Xu Mu what she was about to say.

Xu Mu said it was nothing and asked him to take her home and then go attend to his work. Song Niannian and Shen Yi, to celebrate their fifteenth day together, invited Xie Shi and Xu Mu to join them for a camping trip. Unexpectedly, they ran into Qiao Nan during the camping trip, who happened to be Shen Yi's cousin. Shen Yi invited her to join them.

Qiao Nan told Xie Shi that she wanted to treat him to a meal, thanking him for taking her mother to the hospital last time. Shen Yi shared some grilled skewers he had cooked, but everyone found them unappetizing. Qiao Nan suggested that if Shen Yi's grilling wasn't good, they should eat the skewers Xie Shi had grilled. Just as Xie Shi was about to drink, Qiao Nan stopped him, asking if he could drink.

Xie Shi said it was fine, and then stopped Xu Mu, telling her to drink less because it was chilly at night. Xu Mu, however, was a bit upset and told Xie Shi it was fine, then started drinking. Xie Shi said he would get her a blanket. While he was gone, their classmates mentioned seeing in Xie Shi's diary that he had liked a girl for a long time and had been rejected when he confessed.

Hearing this, Xu Mu felt even more downcast and quietly picked up an orange to eat. When the event ended, Song Niannian suggested she and Xu Mu stay together for the night, letting Xie Shi and Shen Yi share a room. Qiao Nan asked why they weren't staying together since they were a couple. Song Niannian replied that she missed Xu Mu and wanted to stay with her.

Song Niannian asked Xu Mu what was wrong, and Xu Mu confided that Xie Shi hadn't come home that night because he was at Qiao Nan's house. Song Niannian asked if Xu Mu had fallen for Xie Shi, and Xu Mu said maybe she had just gotten used to being his girlfriend. Xu Mu and Qiao Nan went on a business trip to a mountain homestay, and Zhang Yao also came along.

Xu Mu caught a cold, and Zhang Yao considerately brought her some cold medicine, saying he needed to talk to her. They had barely spoken when an earthquake struck, and they quickly took cover. Xie Shi saw the news about the earthquake in Xu Mu's location and immediately tried to call her, but couldn't get through. He hurried to where Xu Mu was but overheard her and Zhang Yao in a room together.

At that moment, Shen Yi called him to check on Qiao Nan. As Xie Shi helped Qiao Nan out, Xu Mu saw them. Xu Mu told Xie Shi that she wanted to terminate their agreement because having someone she liked was making this situation too ridiculous, and she felt very agitated. Xie Shi apologized, saying he hadn't realized their arrangement was causing her distress. Xie Shi assumed Xu Mu liked Zhang Yao, so he agreed to her proposal.

The next day, Xu Mu packed her things and prepared to leave, taking one last look at everything in the house as if saying goodbye. Xu Mu went to find Song Niannian, just as her mother called, wanting to see Xie Shi. Xu Mu told her it wasn't possible anymore because they had broken up.

Song Niannian said that he definitely wanted to confess to Xu Mu, and Xu Mu told her to keep her voice down. Song Niannian said it was fine because Shen Yi had gone to the studio and wasn’t home. Unexpectedly, Shen Yi came out of the room the next second. Song Niannian asked why he was home but hadn’t made any noise, and Shen Yi said he wanted to finish cleaning before going out.

Shen Yi asked if Xu Mu had been confessed to, and Xu Mu said no, they just watched a movie together. Shen Yi called Xie Shi, telling him that right after he and Xu Mu broke up, someone confessed to her. Xie Shi asked if it was Jiang Zhou, and Shen Yi said it seemed to be that name.

After hearing this, Xie Shi felt irritated and wanted to hang up, but Shen Yi told him that Xu Mu didn’t accept the confession. After hanging up, Xie Shi wanted to call Xu Mu but hesitated. He looked at his cat and asked if he should go see her, and Mo Fang meowed.

Xie Shi got up to go see Xu Mu, but just then his phone rang with a company issue, and he had to go on a business trip. Xu Mu received a call from her mother, who was introducing her to another blind date. Xu Mu said she wasn’t interested in dating and wouldn’t meet anyone.

When she got to work, Xu Mu heard her colleagues discussing a director with the last name Jiang who was getting engaged and that he had already gone abroad to arrange the engagement. Xu Mu was so stunned that she spilled coffee on her hand without noticing. Song Niannian called her, saying Shen Yi’s research results were out and invited her to celebrate together. Song Niannian mentioned that Xie Shi had gone abroad, so Xu Mu should come without worries.

Remembering what she had just heard, Xu Mu became more convinced that the news about Xie Shi’s engagement was true. Song Niannian noticed Xu Mu’s low spirits and asked what was wrong. Xu Mu said she heard that Xie Shi was getting engaged and that Qiao Nan had also gone abroad. She felt that marrying anyone would be the same now. The next day, Xu Mu agreed to the blind date arranged by her mother, intending to get married.

Unexpectedly, her blind date was Xie Shi. Xu Mu asked why he was there. Xie Shi said, just like her. Xu Mu asked if he was engaged to Qiao Nan a few days ago, and Xie Shi explained it was Director Jiang from the marketing department. Xie Shi told Xu Mu that he and Qiao Nan were just friends, just like she and Jiang Zhou.

He then explained that he didn’t come home that night because Qiao Nan’s mother was sick in the hospital with no one to care for her. Her mother had always been good to him, so he stayed to help. Xu Mu felt it was normal that he didn’t tell her since their relationship was fake. Xu Mu asked if Xie Shi was there to find someone to marry, as the matchmaker said.

If it was another fake relationship, she didn’t have the time or energy. Saying this, Xu Mu started to leave, but Xie Shi told her this time it wasn’t an act. Xie Shi asked Xu Mu if she dared to get the marriage certificate with him the next day. The next day, they both dressed up, took their household registration books, and went to the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate.

Xu Mu called Song Niannian, saying this would be the last time she moved. Song Niannian told her that getting married could be impulsive, but she had to think carefully about divorce. If she didn’t divorce in the future, this would indeed be the last time she moved. Xie Shi took Xu Mu to work. As she got out of the car, Xu Mu noticed Xie Shi’s tie was crooked.

She leaned into the driver's seat to fix it, and Zhao Yusi and a colleague saw this, secretly took a photo, and sent it to Team Leader Liao. Xie Shi told Xu Mu he would have dinner and drink a little with colleagues in the evening. Xu Mu said it was fine but not to drink too much. After saying this, she asked why he was telling her as she couldn’t control it.

While Xu Mu was at work, she received a call from Xie Shi’s colleague, saying he was drunk and insisted she come to pick him up. When Xie Shi saw Xu Mu, he collapsed into her arms, and Xu Mu said he was pretending to be drunk. She put Xie Shi on the bed and was about to get him a glass of water when he grabbed her hand, not letting her leave.

Shen Yi and Song Niannian were about to go out when Song Niannian received a call from her father, saying her mother was not well and was in the hospital. Song Niannian was busy taking care of her parents, so Shen Yi handled all her work affairs.

Xu Mu asked Song Niannian and Shen Yi what they were doing, staring so seriously at her and Xie Shi. Song Niannian awkwardly said that her mother had already recovered and returned home for convalescence last week. Xu Mu mentioned that when she visited the hospital last time, Song Niannian's mother said she would stay a few more days. Song Niannian explained that her mother couldn't stop worrying about the flowers and plants on the balcony.

Song Niannian then told Xu Mu and Xie Shi that she had something to tell them. Xu Mu asked if it was about another anniversary. Shen Yi took Song Niannian's hand and announced that they were planning to get married. Xu Mu was surprised at how quickly things were moving. Song Niannian said that after her mother's hospitalization, she realized that if she didn't marry Shen Yi, it would be her lifelong regret.

The four of them drank and chatted together, and eventually, both Song Niannian and Shen Yi got drunk. Xu Mu and Xie Shi took them home, planning for Xu Mu to take care of Song Niannian and Xie Shi to take care of Shen Yi. However, Song Niannian and Shen Yi insisted on sleeping together, so naturally, Xu Mu and Xie Shi ended up sleeping together.

Xu Mu mentioned that Song Niannian was restless in her sleep, and she thought Shen Yi would definitely be pushed off the bed. Xie Shi added that Shen Yi was also a restless sleeper. Xu Mu claimed she slept the most peacefully, but the next morning, she woke up clinging to Xie Shi like an accessory. Xie Shi gently moved Xu Mu's arm aside and got up to make breakfast.

When Xu Mu opened the door, she saw that Xie Shi had already prepared breakfast. She asked when he got up, and Xie Shi said he had been up for half an hour. Xu Mu asked about Shen Yi and Song Niannian, and Xie Shi said they were still sleeping, but he had left breakfast for them. As they were eating, Xie Shi kept receiving calls. He assured Xu Mu it wasn't a girl calling.

Xu Mu told him to answer the phone, but Xie Shi ignored the calls and texted the person not to call again. Xu Mu texted Xie Shi saying she'd be home later but received no reply. When she called, there was no answer. When she got home, she found that Xie Shi had a fever. Xu Mu asked why he was still so hot after taking medicine, and Xie Shi said it was nothing serious.

Xu Mu stayed by his side to take care of him. Early the next morning, Xu Mu got up to make breakfast. When Xie Shi woke up and saw this, he felt very happy. Xu Mu asked him to taste her cooking, and Xie Shi said it was quite good. Xu Mu asked why he didn't tell her he was sick, and Xie Shi said he didn't want to worry her.

Xu Mu told him to always inform her if something was wrong, and Xie Shi nodded. Xie Shi's father called him, but he didn't answer, so his father came to wait downstairs at his workplace. When Xie Shi saw him, he asked if the money he gave him wasn't enough. His father said money didn't last long. Xie Shi asked if he was gambling again, and his father said it would be the last time.

Xie Shi told him he wouldn't give him any more money. His father argued that he had raised him. Xie Shi said he hadn't raised him at all. His father then took out a bracelet, saying he might not have raised Xie Shi, but he had raised his mother. Hearing about his mother, Xie Shi gave his father a bank card. His father snatched it and left.

Xu Mu saw the whole exchange and called Xie Shi's aunt to ask about it. His aunt told Xu Mu that Xie Shi's father was a scoundrel who gambled all the time and used to beat Xie Shi and his mother. She recounted Xie Shi's tragic past. When Xu Mu returned home, she hugged Xie Shi tightly. Xu Mu told Xie Shi she knew it wasn't easy to be a good family member, but she wanted to try.

At home, Xu Mu found an old school magazine with one of her articles. Just then, Xie Shi returned, and Xu Mu asked why he still kept high school magazines. She asked what a particular sentence meant, and Xie Shi asked why she always forgot. Xie Shi then described their first meeting and their high school interactions in detail, revealing that he had liked Xu Mu since high school.

Xu Mu remembered the day they met. Xie Shi said it was twelve summers ago when they first encountered each other. Xie Shi used to think fate was a one-way street, but after Xu Mu mentioned it was a circle, he had been waiting ever since. Xu Mu asked if he was waiting for the day they would meet again. Xie Shi replied that it was more than that; he wanted to make sure everything was perfect between them.

Xu Mu said Song Niannian kept asking her if she liked Xie Shi, and she always denied it. Even after getting married to Xie Shi, she couldn't admit it because she feared it was a false impression from spending so much time together, or just her own wishful thinking. She disliked that uncertain feeling. Xu Mu said she had been waiting for the day Xie Shi would tell her he liked her.

She was glad he didn't make her wait too long. Xie Shi walked over, grabbed Xu Mu, and kissed her. Xu Mu laughed, recalling how Shen Yi said Xie Shi had never been in a relationship before. Xie Shi responded that he didn't know it was because of whom. Song Niannian looked at Xu Mu's social media post and said she didn't understand it. Shen Yi glanced at it and said it probably didn't mean anything special, just something ordinary.

Song Niannian insisted there was more to it and asked Shen Yi if he dared to bet on it. Shen Yi agreed to the bet. Song Niannian said if she won, the wedding photoshoot would be her call, and Shen Yi accepted. Xu Mu and Xie Shi bought a lot of things and returned home. Xu Mu asked Xie Shi what they were having for lunch. Xie Shi asked what she wanted, and Xu Mu suggested pork rib soup.

As she spoke, Xu Mu hugged Xie Shi from behind. Just then, Shen Yi and Song Niannian arrived, quietly standing at the door, watching them. When Xie Shi turned to kiss Xu Mu, he saw Shen Yi and Song Niannian. Xu Mu asked why they were there, and Shen Yi joked that they couldn't blame anyone but themselves for leaving the door unlocked. Xu Mu told Song Niannian that Xie Shi had liked her for a long time.

Song Niannian was surprised and said she didn't notice his secret crush. Song Niannian asked Xu Mu if her social media post was about Xie Shi, and Xu Mu confirmed it. She said her starting point was also Xie Shi's starting point. Song Niannian was thrilled that both of them could marry the people they loved. Xie Shi told Shen Yi he would be away for a few days and asked him to feed the cat, Mo Fang.

Xie Shi said he was taking Xu Mu back to his hometown because his father had mortgaged the house to pay off debts, and he needed to retrieve his mother's belongings. Song Niannian and Shen Yi discussed their wedding plans, deciding to have a grand celebration. Song Niannian then said she didn't want a traditional wedding anymore, which startled Shen Yi, thinking she was having second thoughts. Song Niannian clarified that she wanted a destination wedding instead.

They both agreed on going to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and taking photos at Lake Geneva. Shen Yi enthusiastically agreed, saying he wanted to have many children with Song Niannian. Song Niannian said she wasn't ready for children yet and wanted to enjoy more freedom first. Xu Mu and Xie Shi returned to Xie Shi's hometown, where they met an old neighbor who was delighted to see Xie Shi doing well, with a family and a successful career.

After the neighbor left, Xu Mu suggested they start packing his mother's things. She asked why there were so few items, and Xie Shi explained that his father had sold most of them. Just as they were talking, the neighbor returned with some food for them. The neighbor noticed a photo in Xu Mu's album with her silhouette and remembered the day Xu Mu had brought a cake, coincidentally on Xie Shi's birthday.

Xu Mu had given the cake to Xie Shi's mother when she couldn't get one herself. Song Niannian and Shen Yi had an argument, and Song Niannian went to stay at Xie Shi's place. Xu Mu waited until Song Niannian fell asleep and then secretly went out to meet Xie Shi. Xu Mu remarked that although they were married, it felt like they were sneaking around like lovers.

Xu Mu helped Shen Yi arrange a meeting with Song Niannian, and Shen Yi managed to make up with her. Xu Mu was relieved to finally have some time alone with Xie Shi. Xu Mu went home for the New Year and video-called Xie Shi to chat.
