Time quickly passed, and it was now the Qingming Festival. He Suye planned to accompany Yu Liren to visit his mother, Yu Nianxiang’s grave. Since He Sheng couldn’t come back due to work, He Suye felt a bit disappointed. Recalling the scene of his proud mother losing control of her bladder in her final moments, He Suye’s mood sank deeply. At that moment, Shen Xifan knocked on He Suye’s door, holding a large bouquet of tulips.

Her bright smile instantly lifted his spirits. Later, He Suye and Yu Liren visited the grave. He told his mother that he was now in a relationship and that his research project had made new progress. Yu Liren noticed He Suye was still feeling gloomy because of his father’s absence and comforted him, reminding him not to overthink, as He Sheng was simply busy with many things.

To thank Shen Xifan, Yu Liren asked He Suye to make a video call to her, inviting her and her family to the herbal garden for an outing. Shen Xifan readily agreed and, upon returning home, told her parents about it. Her mother was so excited that she immediately started picking out clothes to wear, while Shen Xifan carefully reminded her parents not to mention any family-related topics the next day to avoid making the grandfather and grandson feel sad.

The next day, Shen Xifan brought her parents along to the herbal garden. When the couple finally met Yu Liren, they realized that he was the old man they often saw watching chess games in the community. Both families enjoyed themselves, chatting and laughing throughout the day. Meanwhile, Shen Xifan and He Suye appeared extremely compatible, acting sweet and affectionate like glue.

However, when Yu Liren talked about He Suye’s mother, He Suye’s expression turned gloomy, and Shen Xifan finally understood why he was so fond of tulips. Similarly, Shen Xifan realized that she was like a beam of light for He Suye, brightening his entire world with her presence. During the meal, everyone enjoyed their drinks and conversations. Yu Liren brought up the two young people's love story and recalled the time he substituted for He Suye at the clinic.

Shen Xifan also discovered that He Suye actually had a decent alcohol tolerance, which made her think back to when he pretended to be drunk downstairs at her building. She instantly realized what was going on — He Suye had faked his drunkenness to get her attention. His little scheme was finally exposed. Additionally, Yu Liren revealed that he was actually the owner of the herbal garden and that He Suye had invested in it.

This revelation instantly made everything clear to Shen Xifan. After returning home, He Suye realized he had been completely exposed. In an attempt to cover himself, he pretended to be drunk and pitiful again, hoping to fool Shen Xifan. However, Shen Xifan cleverly pretended to take his pulse, seizing the opportunity to throw his words — “heartless” — back at him.

Half-angry and half-teasing, she threatened to take off He Suye’s ring and step by step forced him to admit that he had been the one to pursue her from the very beginning. During work hours, He Suye still didn’t forget to take the initiative to message Shen Xifan and even apologized for his little tricks. Shen Xifan, pretending to be proud, “reluctantly” forgave him.

At the hotel, Lin Yishen secured a major event for the hospital — the Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Association Forum. However, aside from him and the manager, the rest of the team, including Xu Xiangya, were not very enthusiastic. While chatting about He Suye, Lin Yishen wondered if he would attend since the event was highly professional and He Suye would make an excellent consultant. After work, He Suye waited for Shen Xifan as usual at the bus stop.

He explained to her why he had hung up the video call earlier and even had his colleagues record a video as proof. When Shen Xifan mentioned the upcoming forum event, He Suye said his grandfather might attend, but he himself wasn’t sure yet. The next day, the hospital director called He Suye over, informing him that he had secured an opportunity for him to present his project at the Medical Association and asked him to quickly prepare his report.

Meanwhile, after work, Li Jie and the others planned to go out for dinner. However, they unexpectedly saw Fang Kexin handing an umbrella to one of the hospital senior brothers, which made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.
