After He Suye angrily sent Li Jie away, he took the initiative to message Shen Xifan, inviting her to a snack stall at the entrance of their neighborhood park to try some desserts. He also asked about her study abroad departure date. Shen Xifan could sense that He Suye was not in the best mood.

Thinking about how she would be leaving for Switzerland in February, the long distance between the two countries, and the significant time difference, she felt uneasy as well. She began to wonder if she should just keep her feelings buried. The next day, He Suye took Li Jie and a few others to visit his grandfather’s house to hear Yu Liren’s feedback on their research project.

However, as soon as the discussion ended, Li Jie deliberately brought up gossip about He Suye and Shen Xifan in front of everyone. Left with no choice, He Suye admitted that he was still pursuing her. Before long, the news that He Suye had someone he liked spread throughout the hospital and university, and he faced endless teasing. He could only smile and take it in stride.

Meanwhile, at breakfast, Shen Xifan’s parents worked together to introduce her to a new potential match under various excuses. Shen Xifan felt that blind dating was unnecessary—after all, the other party was likely looking for marriage, while she was about to go abroad. She didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. However, Shen Xifan’s mother insisted that she at least meet the person and immediately arranged a time and place. Left with no choice, Shen Xifan reluctantly agreed to go.

On the day of the blind date, the man never showed up, leaving Shen Xifan completely stood up. Coincidentally, her classmates from medical school were organizing a gathering that day, which He Suye was also attending. When Li Jie saw Shen Xifan there, he quickly messaged He Suye to confirm his thoughts on the situation before finding an excuse to invite Shen Xifan to join the doctors’ gathering.

Since He Suye had already hinted about it on his phone, their colleagues couldn’t help but tease him when they saw Shen Xifan in person. Only Fang Kexin’s expression looked noticeably unpleasant. During dinner, everyone curiously pried into how He Suye and Shen Xifan met. Someone then suggested playing a word game where they took turns naming medicinal herbs. Without thinking, Shen Xifan instinctively blurted out "He Suye," immediately feeling embarrassed and flustered.

After a few rounds of drinks, Shen Xifan went to the restroom to cool off, while He Suye waited outside for her, asking about her being stood up that evening. Shen Xifan admitted to the blind date, which made He Suye feel a little disappointed. However, he quickly covered it with a smile, saying it was actually a good thing and invited her to head home together that night.

At first, Shen Xifan had been worried she wouldn’t fit in at a gathering full of traditional Chinese medicine doctors. However, everyone was so lively, cracking internet jokes and using trendy slang, that she quickly felt at ease. After drinking some more, the group moved upstairs to a karaoke bar. The doctors showed off their fun side, singing English songs, dancing, and playing Truth or Dare.

During the game, He Suye admitted that he liked a girl he met in April. As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in cheers. Shen Xifan knew deep down that he was talking about her, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. By the end of the gathering, Shen Xifan was completely drunk. As He Suye carried her on his back, she suddenly jumped down, thanked him for liking her, and then kissed him.

With Shen Xifan finally showing her feelings, He Suye could no longer hold back—he pulled her into an embrace and kissed her deeply. That night, He Suye personally escorted Shen Xifan home. When her parents saw how handsome he was, they were overjoyed and couldn’t stop praising him. Hearing their words, He Suye couldn’t hide his smile. The next morning, Shen Xifan woke up, recalling the events of the previous night.

She felt both shy and embarrassed, hesitating to even reply to He Suye’s messages. Later, He Suye delivered a new herbal prescription to her. As she hesitated, she finally gathered the courage to ask if he truly liked her. In response, He Suye gently took her hand and confessed, openly admitting his feelings for her.
