Episode 13 recap: Huang Yimei went to study in Shanghai.
Huang Zhenghua specifically went to Paris to visit Zhuang Guodong, and found that Zhuang Guodong was still single. He asked the two if there was still a possibility of reconciliation, and hoped that Zhuang Guodong could make a concession and return to work in Beijing. Huang Yimei is now studying for a postgraduate degree at Fudan University, but she cannot forget him. Zhuang Guodong was silent for a long time before replying that a man should establish his career first before getting married, as his father's youthful mistake led to his failure, causing his mother to look down on him. He actually hopes that Huang Yimei will come to France.
Huang Zhenghua can understand Zhuang Guodong, and gets up to leave, then hands over the keys to the apartment in Beijing. Huang Zhenghua went to Shanghai to visit Huang Yimei, and Huang Yimei had her brother act as her boyfriend again. The two went to the cafeteria to eat, and Huang Yimei, who was the center of attention, brought her "boyfriend" to eat, attracting the attention of her classmates. Huang Yimei still cannot forget Zhuang Guodong, but she has come to understand that they were both selfish - Zhuang Guodong seeking professional fulfillment and she seeking emotional fulfillment. Now she does not want to be in a relationship, just like Su Gengsheng.
Zhuang Guodong heard that Su Gengsheng hopes Huang Yimei can help him. Huang Yimei had already bought tickets for the art exhibition, hoping Huang Zhenghua could accompany her, but he had work matters to attend to. Knowing that Huang Yimei has no friends, he hopes she can be independent rather than isolating herself. Huang Yimei found her colleagues to go to the art exhibition with, but they were all busy. Fang Xiaowen saw this and actively purchased a ticket to go with her.
Huang Yimei arrived at the art exhibition early, and a vision of Zhuang Guodong appeared in her mind. At this time, Fang Xiaowen came over, and the two appreciated the artworks together. Fang Xiaowen was visiting the art exhibition for the first time, and had recorded many artists' names in his notebook. Huang Yimei discovered that he was also her schoolmate.
Su Gengsheng arranged for Han Yingan to handle the work for the art exhibition, asking her to contact the venue and other aspects in advance. Suddenly, she received another call from home, learning that her mother wanted to sell the house her father had obtained.
Huang Yimei found a sick kitten and wanted to adopt it, but pets were not allowed in the student dorms. Fang Xiewen lied and claimed he was living off-campus, so he could help Huang Yimei take care of the cat. Fang Xiewen then quickly found an apartment to rent. After getting everything set up, he brought Huang Yimei to the apartment and welcomed her to come visit the cat anytime. Seeing the nice living environment, Huang Yimei also decided to move out and rent her own place, as it would be more convenient for her part-time job and caring for the cat.
Fang Xiewen found a landlord and negotiated a rent of 1,500 per month, with a 6-month deposit. He sold his own bicycle and other belongings to come up with the money, then subleased the apartment to Huang Yimei for 800 per month.
Su Gengsheng had returned to his hometown to deal with a problem - his stepfather had hit someone and needed to pay compensation, so his mother was planning to sell his father's house or have his younger brother Xiao Jie drop out of school to earn money to pay the debt.
When Huang Zhenhua found out, he went to Su Gengsheng's hometown and shared his address with her. Su Gengsheng took his brother out to dinner and asked about the incident years ago, when his brother had been hiding in the bathroom vent, too afraid of their abusive stepfather to speak up. Su Gengsheng, not understanding then, was just afraid, but now as an adult wanted to press charges against the stepfather, but lacked evidence. So he bought the family home and put it under his own name, so his mother and brother could live there.
When Su Gengsheng called Huang Zhenhua to say she had returned to Beijing alone, he acted as if the previous night had never happened, not needing him to take responsibility. Huang Zhenhua was surprised by Su Gengsheng's maturity. Meanwhile, Fang Xiewen was waiting for Huang Yimei outside the girls' dorm when he ran into Huang Lin, who mistakenly thought Fang Xiewen was there to see him, until Huang Yimei came out and he realized Fang Xiewen was actually helping Huang Yimei move.
