Although Shen Xifan had asked Xu Xiangya for painkillers, it was clear that they weren’t very effective, and she nearly fainted at the entrance of her community. Fortunately, He Suye appeared just in time, taking her to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) building to perform moxibustion to relieve her menstrual pain.

Shen Xifan was too shy to lie on the treatment table because she was afraid of staining it, but after He Suye understood the situation, he didn’t mind at all. To him, menstrual pain was just a natural bodily process, and women shouldn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed about it. He Suye helped Shen Xifan lie down, covering her legs and feet with a blanket before performing the moxibustion.

Gradually, the pain was replaced with warmth, and as Shen Xifan looked at He Suye, who was tenderly caring for her, she couldn’t hold back the tears of frustration she had been suppressing. She wiped her eyes with a tissue and started crying. Before long, Shen Xifan fell into a deep sleep, and even in her dream, tears still streaked down her cheeks. He Suye gently wiped the tears away, mistakenly thinking that she was upset because of her boyfriend.

He could only suppress his own emotions as he took care of her. When Shen Xifan woke up, He Suye lent her a white shirt and politely refused her suggestion to go home together. Once at home, Shen Xifan planned to wash He Suye’s white shirt. She curiously smelled it and couldn’t help but think of him, but quickly stopped herself from letting her thoughts wander.

Shen Xifan’s mother noticed the unfamiliar shirt and asked where it came from, so Shen Xifan made up an excuse to brush it off. Later that night, Shen Xifan couldn’t stop thinking about He Suye. She took the initiative to scroll through his WeChat Moments and saw a post from a few months ago about making licorice tea. Without thinking, she liked the post but quickly unliked it.

To cover up her awkwardness, Shen Xifan continued to like several other posts, but He Suye noticed and playfully caught her, kindly reminding her to get some rest. The next day, during lunch break, Shen Xifan learned from Xu Xiangya that liking and unliking a post leaves traces. She felt really frustrated. Xu Xiangya and Lin Yishen looked through the chat history between Shen Xifan and He Suye and concluded that He Suye must be interested in her.

However, Shen Xifan stubbornly insisted that they were just doctor and patient, which made Xu Xiangya feel that the man was interested, but the woman was not. Meanwhile, He Suye saw the bubble tea picture Shen Xifan posted on her Moments. He originally wanted to remind her that ginger sugar milk tea could worsen autumn dryness and harm her body, but after thinking it over, he decided to send her some medicinal recipes instead.

He sent her photos of these herbal dishes, telling her that they were milder and would benefit her health. At the hospital, there was a late-stage cancer patient with brain metastasis. He Suye had initially planned to transfer the patient to the intensive care unit for invasive treatment. However, the patient's daughter pleaded with him to delay the treatment so the family could have more time with the mother. He Suye was reminded of when his own mother passed away.

At that time, the doctor said the tumor had spread, and his father had immediately given up on treatment. In the evening, Shen Xifan bumped into He Suye at a street food stall near her community. Noticing that he seemed down, she guessed that he had encountered something upsetting. Shen Xifan silently accompanied him as he walked forward, and He Suye noticed that he had been neglecting her. When he looked back, their eyes met.

At that moment, a bicycle rode up, and Shen Xifan instinctively pulled He Suye away, but to her surprise, He Suye pulled her into his arms. That night, Shen Xifan couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened and was uncertain about He Suye’s feelings toward her. Likewise, He Suye couldn’t sleep either, and both of them tossed and turned restlessly.
