Song Ran comforted Li Zan with her own experiences. They were about to talk about confessing their feelings for each other when suddenly, the elderly neighbor, Old Granny Wang, knocked on the door. She asked Song Ran to help thread a needle. Song Ran, still flustered from the earlier events, found herself unable to thread the needle.

At that moment, Li Zan walked over and, upon seeing him, Old Granny Wang bluntly remarked that the two of them were in a relationship. Song Ran felt a little embarrassed, but neither she nor Li Zan denied it directly. Li Zan just followed Granny Wang out, and although Song Ran felt a little reluctant, she didn’t try to stop him. The next day, Li Zan decided to accept psychological treatment and asked Luo Zhan to accompany him.

Li Zan admitted that he had changed his mind because of Song Ran. His comrade told Li Zan that he had spoken to Song Ran before, but he didn’t reveal the details of their conversation. Li Zan invited Song Ran to dinner, but he wanted her to cook for him. Song Ran was happy, so they agreed to meet at Li Zan’s place. That evening, after arriving at Li Zan’s home, the two of them busied themselves in the kitchen.

Song Ran tried to reach for the pot, but it was placed too high, and she accidentally knocked over Li Zan's phone. Li Zan quickly stepped in to protect Song Ran, and they ended up holding each other tightly. As they stood there, their bodies close together, neither of them could resist looking into each other's eyes. Li Zan gently kissed Song Ran, admitting that he liked her.

Song Ran, after his confession, openly admitted that she liked him too and didn’t pull away from his kiss. They embraced and shared a sweet kiss. Afterward, Song Ran told Li Zan that she had quit her job as a reporter. Li Zan didn’t say much, but he encouraged her and even gave her a good idea: she could pursue her dream of writing books. The next day, Song Ran packed her things and left the company.

Her colleagues were sad to see her go, and Li Zan personally drove her home. After dropping Song Ran off, Li Zan told her that he was going to Jiang Cheng to visit his father and asked if she would like to come along for a little getaway. Song Ran was thrilled and happily agreed.

On the way to meet Li Zan’s father, Song Ran kept asking about his father’s habits, worried about making a bad impression on her first meeting with him. Song Ran wanted to buy some fruit for Li Zan’s father, but Li Zan kept stopping her from buying too much. At that moment, Li Zan’s father came out for a walk and Song Ran immediately recognized him—it was Mr. Li, who lived just upstairs from her.

After dinner, Song Ran helped clean up. Li Zan’s father thanked her because, after Li Zan had returned home previously, despite trying to maintain a smile, his mood had been quite bad. It was Song Ran who had helped improve Li Zan’s condition. That’s when Song Ran realized that Li Zan had been carrying a lot of emotional wounds, which he had never expressed before. She promised that she would always treat him well.

That night, since Song Ran hadn’t brought pajamas, she could only wear Li Zan’s shirt after taking a shower. She felt a little shy, but they sat on the bed and looked through Li Zan’s old photos. After chatting for a while, Li Zan was about to leave. Song Ran reluctantly let go of his hand. Just as she returned to her room, she received a message from Jiang Yu. He had ranked 5th in the recent monthly exam.

Li Zan was pleased when he heard this and planned to buy Jiang Yu a gift when he returned. At that moment, Song Ran came back into the room.
