Episode 24 recap: Duan Jia Xu resigned and started his own business.
Sang Zhi hoped that Duan Jia Xu would not listen to what anyone said, and stay with him forever. Duan Jia Xu wiped away some tears, and Sang Zhi slowly folded the star-shaped notes back up. Duan Jia Xu said he would keep them well, and hugged Sang Zhi, saying he understood now, and that he really had a girlfriend, not just rumors.
Sang Zhi thought Duan Jia Xu was considering breaking up with him, but Duan Jia Xu was actually thinking about their future plans, and that he would find a time to explain the situation to Sang Zhi's parents. In the middle of the night, Sang Zhi woke up to see Duan Jia Xu drinking, worrying that he was in a bad mood. Duan Jia Xu felt he wasn't good enough, but Sang Zhi's unwavering support made him realize he had been slow to understand. Now, the best he could do was to ensure Sang Zhi wouldn't regret the choice he made.
Feeling emboldened by the alcohol, Duan Jia Xu's kisses grew deeper. Duan Jia Xu planned to resign and return to Nanwu to start his own business, and his colleagues didn't object, since he had thought it through. Duan Jia Xu received a call from the hospital - his father's condition was not looking good, and the doctor urged him to go speak with his father while he still had the chance.
At his father's bedside, Duan Jia Xu didn't know what to say. So much time had passed. If he hadn't jumped down that day, his father would likely have recovered by now. The compensation and debts had all been paid off, but Duan Jia Xu's mother had passed away years ago due to lack of money. If he hadn't run from his responsibilities back then, their lives could have been so different.
But Duan Jia Xu's father made him understand what responsibility meant. Now, Duan Jia Xu could protect the people he loved. As his father's finger twitched and he took his final breath, Duan Jia Xu knew he could go see his mother on the other side and apologize.
Sang Zhi arrived, very worried about Duan Jia Xu. He spoke with a carefree air, saying this day was bound to come, but then turned and cried uncontrollably in Sang Zhi's embrace.
From then on, he was alone, without parents. Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu went to see Duan's mother, telling her the news that his father had passed away, hoping she and his father could be at peace. Sang Zhi said that Duan Jia Xu was now a very good person, and she wouldn't let anyone bully him. In the future, he would have his own family and many people who loved him - he wouldn't be alone anymore.
Soon after, Duan Jia Xu told Sang Zhi that he had resigned and would be returning to Nanwu. Wherever she was, that would be their future. A month later, Duan Jia Xu would be leaving for Nanwu, and Sang Zhi would be reluctant to see him go, since she still had to finish university here.
On the day Duan Jia Xu was leaving, Sang Zhi clung to his arm all the way to the airport, telling him to work hard but not put too much pressure on himself. If he failed, it wouldn't matter - she could support him. As Duan Jia Xu was about to board, Sang Zhi was still reluctant to let him go, making it hard for Duan Jia Xu to leave.
It was only when Duan Jia Xu truly had to go that Sang Zhi finally released him. Sang Zhi had specially prepared a long-distance relationship guide, which Duan Jia Xu thought was great. The two of them made a pact to follow it together.
