As He Suye hurried over in a panic, intending to explain, Shen Xifan suddenly changed the topic and asked about the dragon bone on his keychain. Hearing this, He Suye sighed in relief and quickly explained that it was fresh dragon bone from the lab. Shen Xifan nodded, half-understanding.

During dinner, Shen Xifan forwarded the photo to He Suye, but he was dissatisfied with it, feeling that he looked too serious in the picture, which did not match the joyful mood of that day. After finishing her meal, Shen Xifan returned home, trying to suppress her racing heart. In reality, she had long noticed that He Suye had lied about losing the keyring.

A thought had already taken root in her mind, but she was afraid she was overthinking things. However, her feelings for He Suye were becoming increasingly obvious—even when resting in the hotel lounge, she couldn’t help but repeatedly bring the sachet to her nose and take in its scent. One of the elderly tour members suddenly felt unwell, and Shen Xifan rushed over in concern.

Fortunately, the guest was fine; she had simply joined these tours frequently because her children were not around. Meanwhile, Shen Xifan noticed that Xu Xiangya and Li Jie were chatting frequently on WeChat and worried that Xu Xiangya might be interested in Li Jie and end up giving up on Lin Yishen. However, Xu Xiangya reassured her, saying that Li Jie was not her type.

Although she had feelings for Lin Yishen, the two of them had constantly missed their chances with each other from university until now. Perhaps it was just fate, or maybe their emotions were never deep enough. That night, Shen Xifan’s parents specially prepared a medicinal soup for her. Thinking of the lonely elderly woman, Shen Xifan took the initiative to ask about her parents’ health. Soon, the hotel successfully sent off the elderly tour group.

Exhausted, Shen Xifan collapsed onto her bed the moment she got home, only to wake up the next morning with a severe stiff neck. Having no other choice, she went to He Suye’s clinic. Under He Suye’s treatment, she cried out in pain, but her stiff neck improved significantly. However, she felt flustered by how close He Suye was, and as soon as he was done, she hurriedly left.

While preparing her study abroad application materials at home, she wanted to enrich her case study with cultural context, so she sought out He Suye to learn about aromatherapy and medicinal sachets in traditional Chinese medicine. Once again, He Suye brought Shen Xifan back to his place and even gave her one of his undergraduate research papers as a reference. With his help, Shen Xifan revised her application materials, and a warm atmosphere filled the space between them.

Finally, she completed her submission, and after He Suye helped her review it, she sent it to the study abroad agency. At that moment, the agency suddenly called Shen Xifan. She quickly stepped out onto the balcony to take the call. When she returned to the living room after hanging up, she found He Suye had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Originally, she wanted to remove his glasses for him, but just as she reached out, the book in He Suye’s hand slipped, causing his arm to drop behind the sofa. Startled, Shen Xifan lost her balance and accidentally fell onto him. Now face-to-face in close proximity, Shen Xifan’s heart pounded wildly. Just as she was about to lean in for a kiss, the doorbell rang, shattering the moment.

Forcing herself to stay calm, she went to open the door, while He Suye immediately opened his eyes, visibly frustrated. The visitor was none other than Li Jie, who had come to ask He Suye for help reviewing his paper. Seeing this, Shen Xifan quickly made an excuse and left. Annoyed by Li Jie’s untimely arrival, He Suye remarked sarcastically that while Li Jie was indeed diligent, there was no need to be "this" diligent tonight.

Picking up on the underlying meaning, Li Jie immediately suspected something was going on between He Suye and Shen Xifan. He Suye neither confirmed nor denied it. Meanwhile, as Shen Xifan rode the elevator back home, she replayed the scene in her mind, feeling her face heat up as if it were on fire. At that moment, she became even more certain—she truly liked He Suye.
