After confirming their relationship, everything around them felt beautiful. At night, they tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep from sheer joy. The next day at work, both Shen Xifan and He Suye were beaming with happiness, making it obvious to everyone that they were in a great mood. The nurses playfully teased He Suye, asking if he had some good news to announce.

Because He Suye was in such high spirits, he completely overlooked Li Jie’s rewritten paper and showered it with excessive praise. He was so cheerful that even when his colleagues went to the cafeteria for lunch, he enthusiastically cheered them on, leaving them utterly baffled. Similarly, Shen Xifan shared the good news of her new relationship with her close friends. Xu Xiangya and Lin Yishen were genuinely happy for her.

After work, He Suye couldn’t wait to go to the mall to buy slippers and other household items. He also picked up a bouquet of Shen Xifan’s favorite flowers. The two met outside the residential complex and began their simple yet sweet romance, walking hand in hand. Their affectionate display drew envious gazes from passersby. Back home, He Suye personally cooked dinner while Shen Xifan arranged the flowers and set the table.

During the meal, Yu Liren saw the photo He Suye had sent and criticized him for not taking Shen Xifan out for a grand dinner on their first date. Hearing Yu Liren’s voice message, He Suye asked Shen Xifan to explain on his behalf. Shen Xifan told Yu Liren that she loved eating the meals He Suye cooked. Through He Suye, Shen Xifan learned that his grandfather had already met her before and had a great impression of her.

He Suye suggested they find a time to meet formally, which made Shen Xifan both excited and nervous. After dinner, they sat on the couch watching a movie. He Suye asked Shen Xifan to teach him how to fold a paper frog. However, while he was skilled in many things, he was hopelessly clumsy when it came to origami, making Shen Xifan laugh at his struggles. He Suye pretended to be upset, prompting Shen Xifan to coax him.

Shen Xifan suddenly realized that every day they spent together was incredibly joyful. But then she remembered how He Suye had once said he had prepared for the worst. He Suye admitted that he had considered waiting for Shen Xifan to return from studying abroad. Even though they were now together, if she ever felt unhappy in this relationship, he wanted her to tell him directly.

He promised to do his best to change, but if he truly couldn’t, he hoped she wouldn’t force herself to stay. Hearing this, Shen Xifan was deeply moved and felt fortunate that she had recognized her feelings and confessed early on. They held each other tightly. That night, He Suye personally walked Shen Xifan home and even shared the passcode to his house with her.

Alone in her bedroom, Shen Xifan gazed at the flowers He Suye had given her and recalled his words. She suddenly had an epiphany—why had it taken her so long to understand such a simple truth? The next day, Shen Xifan went to work at the hotel as usual. During her break, she received a message from He Suye, who had successfully learned how to fold a paper frog. He even sent her a photo.

He Suye claimed he had found a tutorial online and had improved through practice. But the next moment, Li Jie sent her a message, revealing that He Suye had actually threatened him into folding the frog—otherwise, He Suye wouldn’t help review his English paper. Seeing this, Shen Xifan couldn’t help but laugh and replied to Li Jie. Yan Heng later sought out Shen Xifan, demanding to know why she would choose "a useless traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

"Shen Xifan firmly stated that being with He Suye made her truly happy—something Yan Heng could never give her. She sincerely wished him happiness as well. After the bidding process at the tech park ended, Yan Heng checked out of his hotel and left Gunan Huating, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone. With that, Shen Xifan completely closed this chapter of her past. Unable to hold back, she called He Suye, telling him she missed him. He Suye softly whispered back. Hearing this, Li Jie and the others quickly grabbed their papers and fled the scene.
