Song Ran arrived at the camp, and Sa Xin was very happy to see her. He started talking about Li Zan, mentioning that Li Zan had been acting strangely since he returned. Sa Xin recalled an instance when they were on a mission, and Li Zan didn’t rush in immediately, which was very unlike him.

Sa Xin said that recently, Li Zan had been frequently visiting the hospital, and he believed that people who are meant to meet again will always find their way back to each other, no matter what they’ve gone through. When Song Ran got to the hospital, she saw Li Zan playing with a few children, trying to toss stones into a bottle. The children invited her to join, but she kept missing the shot.

Li Zan showed the other children how to throw, and when Song Ran tried again, she actually got it in. She wanted to tell Li Zan, but he had already left. Benjamin happened to see her from upstairs. Later, Benjamin came back and asked Sa Xin if he had sent Song Ran to the hospital.

Sa Xin clarified that he hadn’t, he had just told her that Li Zan was at the hospital, and Song Ran had gone on her own. Sa Xin then asked Benjamin how things were between Song Ran and Li Zan. Benjamin replied that Li Zan was still young and wouldn’t understand, telling Sa Xin not to interfere. Sa Xin then demanded that Benjamin return his star.

Benjamin denied taking it, teasing that if he had taken it, then what was hanging around Sa Xin’s neck? Sa Xin was left speechless. Benjamin mentioned that they had a training session tomorrow and wondered if Song Ran would be interested in taking photos, as Li Zan would be there too. Sa Xin remarked that Benjamin still wasn’t minding his own business. When Li Zan went out, he encountered two children, which reminded him of Suolong and Xiya.

He took the children to an orphanage, and Xiya arrived as well. Li Zan gave her a ring engraved with Suolong’s name, saying that this way, Xiya wouldn’t forget Suolong, and Suolong would always be with her. The next day, Song Ran came for the photo shoot. Benjamin explained that the enemy often hid in abandoned buildings, posing a threat to them, so they had to blow them up. Li Zan and Sa Xin had already planted the bombs.

Li Zan instructed Sa Xin to detonate them, and Sa Xin remarked that he hadn’t had a chance like this before, but now, with Song Ran’s arrival, he felt lucky. Once the explosion was over, Benjamin told Li Zan to take care of Song Ran. Li Zan and the team were still checking the area when a man was dragging a woman and child. The child was unwilling to leave, but the man claimed he wasn’t a bad person.

Just then, the explosion went off, and Li Zan pulled Song Ran away from the danger. Li Zan asked Song Ran where she was going next. Song Ran replied that she was heading to Bride Village for a shoot. Li Zan warned her that it was dangerous there and insisted that she wait for him so he could escort her. Song Ran refused, saying she didn’t need him to drive her and wouldn’t wait for him.

As Song Ran was driving, she was on the way when Li Zan caught up with her. He pointed out that her car was too slow and asked her to ride with him. Li Zan drove her to Bride Village, where they saw a man negotiating the price of his daughter. Another man nearby was shouting, and Li Zan commented that the man used to be a soldier.

Not being able to protect his own women and children was the saddest thing. Song Ran said she no longer wanted to take photos. She admitted that she suddenly couldn’t see the point in doing such things. She felt powerless to stop what was happening, and even if she told others, no one seemed to care. Li Zan said that if these things were passed down, they could at least inform others that such things were happening here.

Song Ran remarked that Li Zan always seemed so determined and firm in his beliefs. She realized she had never seen him confused. Li Zan didn’t respond.
