Benjamin came to find Sa Xin and asked why he was there when he had been told not to fire the cannons or go to the battlefield. Sa Xin told Benjamin to lock him up if he wanted to, but Benjamin responded that the war was over, so why would he still lock him up? Benjamin then asked where Sa Xin’s star had gone. Sa Xin realized his star was missing and wanted to go back to find it.

Benjamin pointed out that, strictly speaking, Sa Xin had lost his own star. Benjamin gave his star to Sa Xin, but Sa Xin felt that since Benjamin’s star was lost, he should go and find it too. Sa Xin told Benjamin to go back, but Benjamin insisted it wasn’t possible, as Reina would blame him. Meanwhile, someone was hiding and taking shots at them. Benjamin noticed and shot the person, but he himself was also hit.

Benjamin had just found the star. Pei Xiaonan helped Benjamin treat his wound, and when Song Ran heard the news, she also came. Sa Xin expressed his thanks to Song Ran, Li Zan, and Benjamin. Li Zan woke up and realized that Song Ran was gone. The nurse saw him and said that his wound needed to be treated.

Li Zan replied that the team had basic medical supplies and that he would clean it himself first before applying any medicine. The nurse noticed the red string on Li Zan’s wrist and asked if it was a gift from his family. Li Zan responded that it was a gift from his girlfriend.

When Li Zan returned, Sa Xin informed him that Song Ran and the injured had already gone to the hospital, and he was asked to inform Li Zan. Song Ran and Li Zan were on the street, seeing everyone celebrating their victory, and they were both very happy. When they saw each other, they walked toward one another and embraced deeply.

Later, they returned to the hotel, and Song Ran said that both she and Li Zan had things on their minds. Li Zan saw the medicine that Song Ran was taking and wondered if it had something to do with him. Song Ran reassured him that it was her issue and had nothing to do with him. Li Zan felt that it was all his fault.

He shouldn’t have left Song Ran when she needed him the most, and he shouldn’t have failed to clarify things with her before. Song Ran told him it wasn’t his fault and explained that it was due to everything that had happened before, along with her mother’s illness. She reassured him that she was fine now and hadn’t taken that bottle of medicine in a long time.

Song Ran didn’t want Li Zan to change his mind because she had been sick. Li Zan responded that he understood what she meant. They finally cleared up their thoughts and feelings. Song Ran confessed that she had regretted it for a long time and didn’t want to separate from Li Zan. Li Zan also liked Song Ran, and they embraced each other again. Li Zan had been injured, and Song Ran helped treat his wound.

She told him she was fine now, but Li Zan understood that being sick wasn’t the end of the world. He too had faced many challenges. Song Ran encouraged Li Zan to tell her anything, saying that they still had a long time ahead of them. Li Zan asked Song Ran to tell him a story. Song Ran shared a sad story from her childhood.

Li Zan, however, interpreted the story as a love story, where the matchstick warmed the little bird. He would also be the match to warm Song Ran. Benjamin had injured his foot and was staying in the hospital. He mentioned wanting to go to a bar and asked Sa Xin to take him. Sa Xin disagreed, thinking that Benjamin shouldn’t drink while injured.

Benjamin said he had made plans with Pei Xiaonan, and Sa Xin reluctantly found a wheelchair to take Benjamin to the bar. Benjamin reassured him that Pei Xiaonan would take him back, so Sa Xin didn’t need to wait. Sa Xin left. Benjamin waited at the bar, but Pei Xiaonan never showed up. In fact, when Benjamin had arranged to meet her, Pei Xiaonan had already refused. Benjamin wanted to leave, but it was difficult to push the wheelchair.

Sa Xin arrived, and Benjamin asked if he hadn’t left. Sa Xin replied that if Pei Xiaonan had come, he would have left. Sa Xin asked Benjamin if he liked Pei Xiaonan. Benjamin replied that of course, he liked her, or else he wouldn’t have paid for three months’ worth of fees. Sa Xin pointed out that Benjamin only cared about money, but Pei Xiaonan didn’t want that. What she wanted was a promise.

Benjamin replied that he was an orphan with no family, and promises were the one thing he couldn’t give. Sa Xin said that even though he knew Pei Xiaonan wouldn’t come, he still waited until the bar closed. He knew that as soldiers, they didn’t have money, and sometimes they even risked their lives. Yet, he still showed up.

He knew that Benjamin hadn’t promised to take care of him, but every time they went on a mission, Benjamin made sure to keep him out of danger. Sa Xin believed Benjamin was just being hypocritical. Benjamin asked Sa Xin if he had a death wish, and Sa Xin told him to come back and deal with him once his leg healed. Song Ran came to visit Benjamin, bringing medicine that Pei Xiaonan had asked her to bring.

Li Zan also came to visit the soldier from earlier, and noticed a walkman nearby, realizing it was something Song Ran had brought. Li Zan also visited Benjamin, and Benjamin asked if Li Zan had treated his injury. Li Zan replied that Song Ran had helped him, and Benjamin teased him for becoming bad. Sa Xin came over and said they had a mission, and they needed to move out.

Song Ran asked Li Zan if he was also going with Benjamin’s group. Li Zan wanted to help with something for Benjamin’s team. Song Ran supported him, saying there was much Li Zan could do for them. Song Ran mentioned that she hadn’t yet learned that game and wanted Li Zan to teach her. Li Zan agreed and taught her. Song Ran met Pei Xiaonan, who explained that she had come to volunteer because her boyfriend had cheated on her.

In a fit of anger, she had signed up to be a volunteer. She vowed never to listen to any man’s sweet words again. Now, even though Benjamin hadn’t said anything sweet, she still wished he would say something to win her over. Song Ran’s mother called, and she could tell that Song Ran had reconciled with Li Zan. Song Ran said she still had some things to do, and her mother advised her to be safe.

Song Ran packed her things, ready to take some photos. She found Li Zan and was glad to catch him before he left. Li Zan was also happy to see her. Before leaving, Song Ran kissed Li Zan, and everyone around them cheered. After they left, Song Ran still needed to take more photos. When she arrived at the hospital, Song Ran wanted to visit the person she had helped earlier, but he wasn’t in the ward.

She found him in the courtyard, listening to music. She was happy to see that he was doing much better. Song Ran and the man who had helped her set out for He Pu. He was carrying his father’s ashes and scattered them near He Pu, saying his father had always wanted to come here but had never made it. Now that he had arrived, he was sure his father would be happy.

Song Ran hadn’t noticed what he was doing and was surprised by the unexpected kindness of the people around her. Li Zan gave Benjamin the architectural drawings he had made and told him to pass them to Song Ran later. Li Zan mentioned that Benjamin’s injury wasn’t actually severe and that he was just pretending to deceive Sa Xin. Song Ran arrived in He Pu and was happy to meet Shen Bei.
