Song Ran unexpectedly ran into Li Zan and excitedly expressed her desire to follow in their footsteps and travel to Hepu for filming. Faced with her enthusiasm, Li Zan hesitated. He admitted that he had originally planned to look for her but was worried that if he failed the selection, he would lose face. Just as he was wavering, Song Ran’s sudden appearance saved him from his dilemma. Seeing that it was still early, Li Zan suggested having lunch together.

In a small restaurant filled with the enticing aroma of grilled meat, Song Ran chose barbecue without hesitation and generously let Li Zan order, stating that she had no dietary restrictions. The conversation soon shifted to Shen Bei, and Song Ran mistakenly assumed that she was Li Zan’s girlfriend. Li Zan quickly clarified, explaining that Shen Bei was introduced to him by a friend, and he had no romantic intentions toward her.

As it turned out, the meeting had been arranged by Luo Zhan. Li Zan had originally intended to decline, but out of politeness, he still went. Shen Bei, being a perceptive person, noticed Li Zan’s attitude. Although she expressed that she wouldn’t give up on her feelings for him, she also respected his decision. At that moment, Jiang Lin walked out from the selection site, trying to conceal his failure, but Li Zan saw through him immediately.

Jiang Lin laughed and said that Song Ran was much more cooperative than him, unlike his own miserable state. Jiang Lin then introduced Li Zan to everyone, revealing that he was a demining volunteer about to depart for Hepu and had successfully passed the selection. Benjamin, however, questioned this, believing that it was not a place for volunteers to be involved. He then mentioned that he had also passed the selection.

Li Zan merely smiled and responded that their motives were similar, except his had nothing to do with money. Jiang Lin enthusiastically invited Song Ran to visit their camp and even generously offered to give her some vegetables. Benjamin, not wanting to be left out, also insisted on joining. When they arrived at the camp, they found everyone busy trying to catch a runaway goose, creating a rather comical scene.

The goose nearly crashed into Song Ran, but Li Zan quickly stepped in to protect her. A single feather floated down and landed gently in Song Ran’s hair. Li Zan thoughtfully pointed it out, and she shyly removed it. After collecting the vegetables from Jiang Lin, Song Ran noticed that Li Zan was still waiting in place and curiously asked him why. Li Zan smiled and replied that it was getting dark, and he wanted to escort her home.

On the way, Song Ran asked about Li Zan’s plans for the next day. He told her that he still had a full day of training ahead and that it might be his last day in the area. A ripple of emotion stirred in Song Ran’s heart upon hearing this. Back at her residence, Song Ran received a call from Sa Xin. He informed her that a journalist had been injured, and he had been urgently dispatched to assist.

To her surprise, one of the injured was someone she knew. Without hesitation, Song Ran called her editor-in-chief and expressed her willingness to continue reporting from Hepu. After careful consideration, her editor approved her request. Meanwhile, Shen Bei had quietly arrived in Dongguo. The next day, Song Ran set off on her journey. Along the way, she encountered a military patrol. The soldiers carefully checked her credentials and seemed to recognize her, even mentioning the photos she had taken.

Song Ran politely borrowed a map and marked her intended destination. Then, realizing that the map belonged to someone else, she quickly apologized. The soldiers, however, reassured her that it was nothing to worry about. Shortly after, Li Zan and his team happened to pass through the same area. The soldiers mentioned to them that they had just encountered a Chinese girl. Li Zan immediately recognized that it was Song Ran.

But when he saw that the location she had marked was a conflict zone, he became extremely anxious. Song Ran attempted to avoid a group of people but was accidentally discovered. She hurriedly hid inside a house while those outside searched the area. Her heartbeat quickened as she concealed herself in the shadows. Just then, Li Zan appeared unexpectedly, shocking and delighting her at the same time.

He quickly signaled for her to stay quiet, and Song Ran immediately nodded in understanding. Li Zan led her through the building, using the windows as cover. He swiftly leaped into another house, guiding her along. The searchers outside noticed the open window but, seeing no footprints, gave up their search. Once the danger had passed, Li Zan quickly took Song Ran away.

At that moment, Jiang Lin contacted them via radio, instructing Li Zan to take her away first while they handled the rest. In this sudden crisis, the unspoken understanding and courage between Li Zan and Song Ran made them each other’s most reliable support.
