After briefly feeling down, Shen Xifan regained her spirits and threw herself back into work. The whole hotel was busy preparing for the Jiangzhou IT Summit and hosting the attendees. During his lunch break, He Suye saw the news broadcast about the summit, and in the footage, Shen Xifan was seen working. This gave him a glimpse of a different side of her, and he couldn’t help but feel for how busy she was.

On Saturday, Shen Xifan didn’t go for her follow-up appointment because of work. Occasionally, she would think about Yan Heng, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions. He Suye didn’t see Shen Xifan’s name on the appointment records, so he asked the receptionist, Xiao Sun, about her.

He learned that she didn’t come today, so he decided to pull up her registration phone number and planned to reach out to her under the guise of a follow-up appointment to check on her. Shen Xifan was at the hotel helping Yan Heng’s father with the check-in. When she overheard that Yan Heng’s father was arranging a blind date for him, she felt uncomfortable. He Suye proactively called Shen Xifan and cleverly added her on WeChat.

He got her address and sent her some new medicine and some licorice that he had dried himself. Just as He Suye was excited to remind Shen Xifan to brew the licorice tea, Shen Xifan unexpectedly sent him a transfer, which extinguished the spark of hope he had been feeling. That night, He Suye sent her a message, explaining the benefits of drinking licorice water as a substitute for milk tea.

On the other hand, He Suye brewed the licorice tea and, rarely posting on social media, he took a photo of it and shared it on his WeChat Moments. Later that night, Shen Xifan liked his post, but He Suye caught her staying up late. Her grandfather, Yu Liren, unexpectedly learned that He Suye had gotten Shen Xifan’s contact information. Curious about the progress of their relationship, he asked He Suye about it.

He Suye explained that Shen Xifan already had a boyfriend, and Yu Liren expressed his regret, advising He Suye to let go of his feelings. The next day, the Jiangzhou IT Summit proceeded as usual. Shen Xifan, who had just been broken up with by Yan Heng, had lost contact with him and still had to focus on her work.

After Yan Heng's father finished attending the summit, he asked Shen Xifan to take him to the parking lot and asked if she had received the news of the breakup. Shen Xifan still held on to a shred of hope, thinking Yan Heng might have been distant because he was abroad. But when she learned that he was actually at home, her emotions completely broke down.

That evening, Shen Xifan remembered He Suye’s words and decided to comfort herself by hugging a tree to relieve her stress. She also drank two more bags of Chinese medicine, hoping to fall asleep soon. Meanwhile, Xu Xiangya, in defense of her friend, vented her frustrations, pointing out that Yan Heng had been absent from the summit from start to finish, concluding that he was a cowardly, unworthy man.

Shen Xifan was still unsure whether she should tell her parents about the breakup and wasn’t sure how to explain it to them, so she chose to keep it a secret for now. Aside from occasionally sitting in at the Chinese medicine clinic, He Suye spent most of his time in the oncology department of the hospital. Li Jie, who was pursuing Fang Kexin, a fellow student, was spending a lot of time with her.

However, Fang Kexin secretly had feelings for He Suye and often approached him under the pretense of discussing her thesis. Meanwhile, Shen Xifan hadn’t seen He Suye at the clinic, so she took the initiative to message him. He agreed to meet her in the hospital’s herbal garden. It was then that Shen Xifan learned that He Suye was actually a doctor in the oncology department.

He Suye took her on a tour of the herbal garden and then sat with her on a bench, checking her pulse and asking about her current condition. Shen Xifan intentionally avoided discussing the breakup, instead mentioning how busy her work had been. He Suye didn’t press the issue any further and began chatting with her about other topics. He then wrote her a new prescription and specifically reminded her to pay attention to her diet in the future.

Shen Xifan happily accepted the prescription, preparing to leave, but then she stopped and turned back to thank him for making time to meet. He Suye smiled slightly, and they agreed to meet again next Saturday.
