On the third day of the New Year, He Suye packed his things and prepared to return to Hangzhou. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw the young boy Wang Chang, who was visibly tense and uneasy. Seeing how sensible and well-behaved Wang Chang was, He Suye’s heart softened, and he took the initiative to give him a red envelope.

At Nurse Wang’s suggestion, He Sheng also took the initiative to say goodbye to his son and watched as he got into the car and left. After returning to Hangzhou, He Suye immediately sent a message to Shen Xifan, using the excuse of asking for a birthday gift to call her downstairs. He then gave her two jars of red beans along with a few red bean medicinal recipes.

Since red beans have the effect of reducing swelling and promoting healing, red bean medicinal dishes can also help regulate emotions. Having gone through a painful breakup himself, He Suye could empathize with Shen Xifan’s feelings. His advice was that when one loses the ability to love someone else, they should first learn to love themselves. He urged Shen Xifan to stop exhausting herself emotionally.

Afterward, He Suye went to visit his grandfather, revealing that his father, He Sheng, had found a girlfriend, and the two seemed to have a good relationship. Although Yu Liren felt sorry for his daughter, he also understood that what happened back then was long in the past. It was time to let go, and at his father’s age, it was normal to find a companion.

Understanding Yu Liren’s thoughts, He Suye decided that from now on, he would come here every year to spend the New Year with his grandfather and mother—after all, He Sheng didn’t need him there. Yu Liren agreed with a smile and suddenly mentioned that Fang Kexin had unexpectedly decided to pursue a PhD and switch research fields. He jokingly asked if He Suye had failed to teach her properly.

He Suye replied that it was her own choice and that there was no need to interfere too much. Shen Xifan received an acceptance letter from a university in Switzerland. Overjoyed, she realized she could choose to enroll in either February or October. After weighing her options, she decided to start in October. That way, she could complete seven years at the hotel, save more money for living expenses, and, most importantly, spend more time with He Suye.

Xu Xiangya and Lin Yishen immediately saw through her true intentions. After returning home, Shen Xifan told her parents about her decision, and they both supported her. Originally, Shen Xifan wanted to share this news with He Suye, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t find the right opportunity to bring it up. She kept typing messages and then deleting them.

Just as she was about to send another one, she suddenly noticed that He Suye’s WeChat showed "The other party is typing…" But after waiting for a long time, no message came through. Meanwhile, Grandma Liu, who had been staying at the hotel, suddenly had a health episode. Fortunately, a cleaning staff member quickly found Shen Xifan. Although Grandma Liu believed it was just an old ailment acting up, Shen Xifan insisted she go to the hospital for a checkup.

She also mentioned that she knew a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, which finally convinced Grandma Liu to give it a try. Right after that, Shen Xifan sent a message to consult He Suye and arranged a time for Grandma Liu to visit the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Not long after, Shen Xifan accompanied Grandma Liu to He Suye’s clinic. When their eyes met, sparks flew.

After asking about Grandma Liu’s symptoms, He Suye noticed that the CT scans were somewhat blurry, so he had Fang Kexin accompany her for a redo. While alone with He Suye, Shen Xifan hesitated, debating whether to tell him about her decision to delay her enrollment. Sensing something, He Suye took the initiative to ask about her study plans abroad. When he learned that she wouldn’t be leaving until October, he was upset that she had hidden this from him.

He sarcastically remarked that her health was fine—she just had a bit of a heartless streak. After the examination, Grandma Liu curiously inquired about Shen Xifan and He Suye’s relationship. She could tell that something was definitely going on between them. Grandma Liu told Shen Xifan that sometimes people think they are firm in their decisions, believing they won’t be influenced by anyone, but their true feelings can’t be hidden.

Shen Xifan was struck by her words, and her mind was suddenly filled with images of He Suye. Early the next morning, He Suye sent a message asking if Shen Xifan had eaten the red bean medicinal dish. Shen Xifan took a photo of the dish her father had made and sent it to him. Soon after, Zhao Ze was discharged from the hospital. He Suye personally went to see him off, and Zhao Ze asked him to say goodbye to Shen Xifan on his behalf. He Suye readily agreed.
