Episode 14 recap: Huang Yimei went to study in Shanghai.
Huang Zhenhua specially went to Paris to visit Zhuang Guodong, and found that Zhuang Guodong was still single. He asked if there was still a possibility of reconciliation, hoping 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, and she cannot forget him. Zhuang Guodong was silent for a long time before answering that a man should establish his career first before getting married, and that his father's choice when he was young was a mistake that led to him being unsuccessful and looked down upon by his mother, and that he actually hoped Huang Yimei would come to France.
Huang Zhenhua could understand Zhuang Guodong, so he got up and left, then handed over the key to the apartment in Beijing. Huang Zhenhua went to Shanghai to visit Huang Yimei, and Huang Yimei again asked her brother to play the role of her boyfriend. The two of them went to the cafeteria to eat, and the spotlight-grabbing Huang Yimei with her male companion attracted the attention of her classmates. Huang Yimei still could not forget Zhuang Guodong, but she had realized that they were both selfish - Zhuang Guodong was seeking satisfaction in his career, while she was seeking emotional satisfaction. Now she did not want to have a romantic relationship, just like Su Gengsheng.
Zhuang Guodong heard that Su Gengsheng hoped Huang Yimei could help him. Huang Yimei had already bought tickets for the art exhibition in advance, hoping that Huang Zhenhua could accompany her, but Huang Zhenhua had work matters to attend to. Knowing that Huang Yimei had no friends, he hoped she could be independent and not isolate herself. Huang Yimei found her colleagues to go to the art exhibition, but they were all busy. Fang Xiaowen saw this and actively bought a ticket to go with her.
Huang Yimei arrived at the art exhibition in advance, and in her mind's eye, she saw a vision of Zhuang Guodong. At this time, Fang Xiaowen came over, and the two of them appreciated the artworks together. Fang Xiaowen was appreciating the art exhibition for the first time, and he had recorded the names of many artists in a small notebook. Huang Yimei discovered that he was also her classmate. Su Gengsheng arranged for Han Yingan to take charge of 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, and she protested against this.
Huang Yimei found a sick kitten and wanted to adopt it, but the student dormitory did not allow pets. Fang Xiewen claimed he was living off-campus and could help take care of the kitten, then quickly found an apartment to rent. After getting everything sorted, Fang took Huang back to the apartment and welcomed her to come visit the kitten anytime. Seeing the nice environment, Huang also decided to move out and rent her own place, as it would be more convenient for her part-time job and taking care of the kitten.
Fang found a landlord and rented the apartment, paying a deposit equivalent to 6 months' rent and a monthly rent of 1,500. He sold his bicycle and other belongings to scrape together the money, then sublet the apartment to Huang at 800 per month.
Su Gengsheng had to return to his hometown to resolve an issue - 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 also went to Su's hometown and shared his address with her. Su took his brother out for a meal and asked about the past incident - his brother had been hiding in the bathroom vent because he was terrified of their abusive stepfather who would beat their mother and them. Su didn't understand it as a child, but now wants to take legal action against the stepfather, so he bought the family home and put it in his own name so his mother and brother can live there.
Huang Zhenhua received a call from Su saying she had returned to Beijing alone, and that the previous night's events were forgotten and he didn't need to be responsible. Huang was surprised by Su's maturity. Meanwhile, Fang was waiting for Huang at the girls' dorm when he ran into Huang Lin, who thought Fang was there to see him until Huang came out and he realized Fang was helping Huang move.
