Episode 5 recap: Huang Yi Mei is advancing in her career.

Zhuang Guo Dong purposely sat next to Huang Yi Mei, looking for an opportunity to talk to her, but Huang Yi Mei's phone rang and she stepped outside to take the call. Seizing the chance, Han Ying quickly sat in Huang Yi Mei's seat. Huang Yi Mei received a call from Huang Zhen Hua, informing her that they were having a group dinner. When Huang Yi Mei returned and saw Han Ying sitting next to Zhuang Guo Dong, she felt even more displeased and decided to leave early.

Seeing that Huang Yi Mei was about to leave, Zhuang Guo Dong suggested that everyone disperse. Han Ying pretended to be drunk and cuddled up to Zhuang Guo Dong, asking him to send her home. Huang Yi Mei was furious but outwardly remained indifferent.

Huang Zhen Hua came to pick up Huang Yi Mei, and their colleagues mistakenly thought they were a couple. Zhuang Guo Dong was displeased by this. On the way back, Huang Yi Mei received a caring text message from Zhuang Guo Dong, and Huang Zhen Hua advised Huang Yi Mei not to reply and not to explain their relationship, believing that he would become a catalyst.

Huang Zhen Hua took his sister and Bai Xiao He to the suburbs to go fishing. Bai Xiao He sat under a tree reading a book, and Huang Zhen Hua took the opportunity to chat with her. Huang Yi Mei noticed that Bai Xiao He's eyesight was not too poor, but she was wearing glasses, guessing that she was keeping her distance from others. So Huang Yi Mei spoke highly of Huang Zhen Hua in front of Bai Xiao He, believing that Bai Xiao He would give Huang Zhen Hua enough trust and make him feel secure.

When Bai Xiao He fell, Huang Yi Mei immediately pushed Huang Zhen Hua forward to help her, but Huang Zhen Hua ended up taking a hard fall. Huang Yi Mei and Bai Xiao He took Huang Zhen Hua to the hospital.

Bai Xiao He visited the bedridden Huang Zhen Hua at home, and Huang Zhen Hua was deeply moved by Bai Xiao He's attentiveness, and he proactively held her hand. At this time, Huang Zhen Hua received a call from home, inviting Bai Xiao He to join them for dinner, but Bai Xiao He made an excuse to decline, leaving Huang Zhen Hua feeling a bit disappointed.

Bai Xiao He gently hugged Huang Zhen Hua, and Huang Zhen Hua did not expect the usually quiet and reserved Bai Xiao He to be so proactive.

Su Geng Sheng brought Huang Yi Mei to the exhibition. At the exhibition, Huang Yi Mei discovered a gramophone and put in a coin to play a song. Surprisingly, this was exactly the curator's idea, making Huang Yi Mei the first person to use the gramophone to request a song.

Su Geng Sheng had taken Huang Yi Mei to other exhibitions as well. Huang Yi Mei's insightful perspectives made Su Geng Sheng feel a sense of crisis. Zhuang Guo Dong noticed that Huang Yi Mei was not in the project team and was constantly staring at his phone. Unexpectedly, he received a call from his father, who invited Zhuang Guo Dong to come home for a meal.

Huang Zhen Hua, dressed in a suit, went to the lab to find Bai Xiao He and formally invited her to meet his parents. Bai Xiao He had been considering Huang Zhen Hua as a potential marriage partner, but she declined his invitation. Feeling sorry for Huang Zhen Hua's limping departure, she chased after him and explained.

More than half a year ago, Bai Xiao He had a boyfriend, and they both got into the same graduate program. However, the boyfriend had to return to his hometown to become a teacher due to family reasons. Bai Xiao He did not want to leave her parents, so she continued her doctoral studies. Unexpectedly, the boyfriend listened to his family's arrangement and went on a blind date within three months. Bai Xiao He was not good at socializing, and it was difficult for her to move on from the previous relationship. Huang Zhen Hua thanked Bai Xiao He for being honest and understood her predicament.

Zhuang Guo Dong had a meal with his parents, during which they argued constantly. Zhuang Guo Dong was annoyed by their arguing, and he knew that his mother had come this time to handle the divorce paperwork. His parents completely disregarded Zhuang Guo Dong's feelings and continued their loud quarrel. Feeling frustrated, Zhuang Guo Dong kept looking at his phone and eventually went outside to get some fresh air as the argument escalated.
