Yi Ran wasn’t interested in Gao Xu; she was more focused on the upcoming evaluation and even considered that having a part-time job might not be a bad idea. During dinner, she deliberately picked up a knife and fork to give them a try. After all, Xiao Fu had mentioned that Xiao Mucheng had been using them since childhood, but Yi Ran clearly wasn’t used to it.

Gao Xu attended a brand event, and while inviting fans on stage for a group photo, a crazed fan suddenly rushed up and harassed her. Xiao Mucheng stepped in to restrain the person and protect Gao Xu, but in the process, he was hit by a falling advertisement board and sent to the hospital. Xiao Lu, upon hearing the news, rushed in a panic to inform Yi Ran.

When Yi Ran arrived at the hospital, a nurse told her that the injuries were severe and that they had done their best. Yi Ran cried by his bedside for a long time. But then, Xiao Mucheng suddenly appeared in a wheelchair—it turned out that the person the nurse was talking about had also been hit by the falling board, but unfortunately for him, his was much larger.

Yi Ran let out a sigh of relief and scolded Xiao Mucheng for recklessly charging in, unable to hide the worry in her eyes. When she saw the blood-stained white bedsheet earlier, she had been absolutely terrified. Xiao Mucheng held her tightly and promised that nothing would ever separate them. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Xiao Mucheng was fine.

However, they couldn't help but wonder—Gao Xu had been out of the limelight for quite some time, so where did such an obsessed fan come from? The incident had already gone viral, and the internet was flooded with news about Gao Xu. While helping to clean Gao Xu’s room, Yi Ran noticed a black plastic bag and assumed it was trash. But when the assistant saw her holding it, she immediately snatched it away and threatened her to leave.

Yi Ran caught a glimpse inside—it was filled with cash. Suspicious, Yi Ran secretly followed the assistant into the stairwell and discovered that everything had been orchestrated by Gao Xu’s team to build a public persona for her. Yi Ran recorded their misconduct, but when they realized what she had done, they desperately chased after her, and the commotion led them all back to Gao Xu’s room.

Gao Xu offered Yi Ran a price to stay quiet, but Yi Ran was unfazed. She pointed out how much damage this had done to the hotel’s reputation. Yi Ran demanded that Gao Xu publicly reveal the truth and apologize to the hotel—after all, Xiao Mucheng was still lying in the hospital because he had tried to protect her! However, Gao Xu had no intention of apologizing.

She argued that everyone in the industry operated this way, all in pursuit of fame and fortune. Yi Ran later visited Xiao Mucheng in the hospital and told him the truth, but he didn’t want her to get involved. The two playfully wrestled on the hospital bed, and at that moment, Leng Yishu arrived carrying flowers to visit Xiao Mucheng. Seeing the intimate scene, she turned and left in disappointment. That night, Leng Yishu ran into Lin Youjia at a bar.

Although she was in a terrible mood, she convinced herself that even without a man, she could still live an exciting life. After being discharged from the hospital and returning to the hotel, Xiao Mucheng learned that Gao Xu had announced her retirement from the entertainment industry. Yi Ran encountered Gao Xu by the seaside. Gao Xu opened up about her past, revealing that she had been reflecting deeply on her life these past few days.

In the end, she decided to move forward. Yi Ran sought out Xiao Fu—she had something to say to him. She declared her decision to stand by her relationship with Xiao Mucheng and vowed never to let go so easily. Gao Xu left the hotel, while Xiao Mucheng and Yi Ran, watching her departure, felt a sense of understanding. They believed that Gao Xu’s future would only get better. Meanwhile, Pan Yiyi had decided to return home.

That night marked her final livestream. She sang of her unyielding dreams in front of the camera, refusing to stop even as the rain poured down. Before leaving, Pan Yiyi gifted her guitar to Yi Ran as a keepsake. Yi Ran was reluctant to part with her, but she knew she had no power to make her stay. The only thing she could do was respect her decision.
