When Xu Lai was fifteen years old, she encountered an unprecedented earthquake. She was trapped in the ruins, enduring the darkest night. At that time, she thought she would silently die at the age of fifteen, gradually consumed by the endless darkness. Until a beam of light illuminated in front of her, the firefighter who saved her life was called Jin Shichuan. Through this rescue, Jin Shichuan left a deep impression on Xu Lai's heart, and she stubbornly insisted on making a ten-year promise with the man who saved her life. Jin Shichuan treated it as a joke and casually agreed. For Xu Lai, this beam of light never disappeared in the following ten years. After ten years, Xu Lai applied to return to the country from the overseas branch of Huai Harbor TV Station to fulfill the ten-year promise.

Xu Lai became a journalist and international dog trainer. Her first task after returning to the country was to disguise herself as a delinquent girl and infiltrate illegal workshops and shops that produced counterfeit medical and beauty products to collect a large amount of material. The head of the news department of Huai Harbor TV Station admired Xu Lai's hard work, but he didn't understand why she applied to return to the country from the overseas branch. Xu Lai smiled and said that she had an important appointment. A major traffic accident occurred on the southbound 307 National Highway, with power poles falling and crushing two vehicles, resulting in extensive congestion. Jin Shichuan, the station chief of the Special Operations Brigade, received the notification and immediately led the team to change into their uniforms and rushed to the scene of the highway accident for emergency rescue.

Upon arriving at the accident scene, Jin Shichuan found that the situation was more complex than the information provided in the dispatch order. He decided to cancel the original plan and let Shi Lei report to the command center and contact the power company to cut off the power. Liu Xu, wearing insulated boots and gloves, conducted the inspection with him, while Lu Fangqi led a team and stood by on the west side, ready to extinguish fires at any time. Under Jin Shichuan's arrangement, the firefighters worked in an orderly manner. As a journalist, Xu Lai immediately brought the cameraman, Lao Zhang, responsible for filming, to the scene to capture the news. She had good professional qualities and wrote her news materials well. The power pole at the scene was broken, and the risk of electric leakage was high. Jin Shichuan decided to use conservative dry powder firefighting, first testing the electrified and non-electrified areas, and then using water guns for comprehensive firefighting after the power was cut off.

Rescue and electrical testing were carried out simultaneously. At the moment the power pole fell, Jin Shichuan saved the trapped masses in the vehicle. The onlookers didn't understand and accused the firefighters of not using water to extinguish the fire. These scenes were captured by the cameras as materials. Jiang Xin, an experienced reporter from the station, had a dislike for Xu Lai and believed that the materials she filmed were useless. So she crossed the cordon and started filming with her camera. As a result, an explosion occurred at the scene, and her camera fell beside a white SUV. She was rescued by the firefighters. After Xu Lai learned about the incident, she risked her life to retrieve the camera. When Jin Shichuan saw her rushing in, he grabbed flame-resistant cloth and rushed in to save her. Fortunately, both of them were not in danger in the end, but Jin Shichuan regarded Xu Lai as an unscrupulous reporter because of this.

Jin Shichuan did not remember that Xu Lai was the girl he had saved years ago, but Xu Lai was not discouraged. She was confident that she would make him remember. After the news report, someone deliberately took a portion of the footage out of context, deliberately magnifying and smearing the firefighters of the Special Operations Brigade, which caused a great controversy online. Jiang Xin blamed Xu Lai for it. Xu Lai immediately showed a video of Jiang Xin editing the material, leaving her speechless. Although Xu Lai didn't want to take the blame for this, she was willing to bear the consequences and produce a special report on the firefighters to clear their name. The team leader agreed to let her do this special report, but he wouldn't use it if it didn't have any highlights. Jiang Xin, relying on her qualifications, looked down on the new intern Zhou Tingwei. Coincidentally, Xu Lai needed a cameraman, so she recruited Zhou Tingwei.

Childhood friends Huo Yanzong and Han Fang came to the TV station to pick up Xu Lai after work. They grew up near the train station and had a deep bond. Huo Yanzong was a young and promising entrepreneur, while Han Fang was a notorious playboy. Huo Yanzong had feelings for Xu Lai, but Xu Lai only saw him as a buddy. After chatting with them for a while, Xu Lai was about to go home to walk her dog. She had a Labrador named Ping'an. Although Huo Yanzong knew that Xu Lai liked Jin Shichuan, after all, so much time had passed, he didn't believe that Xu Lai could find Jin Shichuan, let alone replace his position in Xu Lai's heart. As a resident journalist, Xu Lai went to the Special Operations Brigade Station, and Jin Shichuan still didn't remember her. He only knew that she was the unscrupulous reporter, and the other team members had lost their trust in Jin Shichuan, so they were unwilling to accept Xu Lai's interview.

The political commissar gave the order that even though the recent tasks were heavy, Jin Shichuan had to cooperate with the interview from Huai Harbor TV Station. Xu Lai had a chat with the political commissar. Having been in the fire department for many years, the political commissar had long been familiar with people's misunderstandings of firefighters. However, it was the first time he saw a reporter actively standing up to defend firefighters' reputation. He reminded Xu Lai that Jin Shichuan was a tough nut to crack and would only stick to his principles. It wouldn't be easy to win him over. Xu Lai was full of confidence. She had anticipated encountering difficulties on this trip. However, the subsequent interview didn't go smoothly. Everyone tacitly refused to accept Xu Lai's interview, and Zhou Tingwei didn't manage to capture a frontal shot. Xu Lai had a principle, which was to capture the leader first. As long as she could win over Jin Shichuan, the rest wouldn't be a problem.

Recently, the two of them stayed in the fire station, but they arrived late and found that the cafeteria had run out of food. Xu Lai shamelessly ate from Jin Shichuan's plate. Jin Shichuan had never met a woman like her before, so he pushed his plate towards her and accepted her interview. However, Xu Lai's questions were not serious, giving Jin Shichuan the feeling that she was prying into his personal life. Jin Shichuan noticed this and stopped answering her questions. The alarm bell rang, and the firefighters, led by Jin Shichuan, quickly went on duty. Lu Fangqi stayed at the fire station and answered a few questions from Xu Lai. Firefighters were not only responsible for rescue missions. They would go wherever help was needed, whether it was dealing with a bee sting or helping remove a stuck ring, people could always count on firefighters for assistance.

To capture the firefighters removing a beehive from up close, Xu Lai carried her camera and went in to film. She got the footage she needed, but she also got stung on her forehead. In the end, Jin Shichuan swatted away the bee that stung her. It was a rewarding day for Xu Lai, and she was happy. As she left, she greeted everyone, even though they didn't pay much attention to her. Jin Shichuan gave her some ointment for her scratch and told her not to come again tomorrow. In the evening, Xu Lai spent time with Han Fang. They unexpectedly ran into Huo Yanzong, and Han Fang tactfully created a private moment for them and left, saying he had something to attend to. Huo Yanzong escorted Xu Lai home. The next day, everyone thought Xu Lai wouldn't come, but during a social rescue operation, Xu Lai and Zhou Tingwei appeared before everyone's eyes.

This time, they were rescuing an elderly man who got his head stuck while trying to catch a chicken. The firefighters used hydraulic pliers to cut the iron frame and rescued the man. The man was worried about his chickens and didn't feel at ease going to the hospital. Jin Shichuan and the man assured him that he could go to the hospital without worry, and they would take care of the chickens for him. Xu Lai asked Zhou Tingwei to capture this scene, and she also joined in the effort to catch the chickens. One chicken was stuck in a crevice, and Xu Lai, with her slender arms and legs, successfully rescued it. Jin Shichuan thanked Xu Lai for her help, so she took Jin Shichuan's phone and called her own phone, thereby saving his number. While catching the chickens, Xu Lai never took her eyes off Jin Shichuan, and everyone felt that Xu Lai definitely had feelings for Jin Shichuan.

Xu Lai received a call to return to the station for a meeting, but having chicken feathers all over her, she found it inconvenient. Xu Lai came up with a solution. Taking advantage of the fact that the team members were having their meal in the cafeteria, she sneaked into the shower room to take a shower, with Zhou Tingwei standing guard outside. In the middle of it, Zhou Tingwei had stomach pain and went to the restroom first. Coincidentally, Jin Shichuan entered the shower room and met Xu Lai. Two more team members came in afterward, and Jin Shichuan instinctively pulled Xu Lai inside. They stayed in the shower room until the two team members left. It was Xu Lai's first close contact with Jin Shichuan, and she was very happy about it. Back at the station for the meeting, Team Leader Qin was dissatisfied with the topics submitted by everyone, but Xu Lai presented her own feature, which everyone thought was excellent. Team Leader Qin decided to use her feature.

Jiang Xin felt dissatisfied and tried to sarcastically remark about Xu Lai, but Xu Lai lightly brushed it off. After getting Jin Shichuan's phone number, Xu Lai would send him messages whenever she had free time. At first, Jin Shichuan glanced at them, but since Lu Fangqi was around, he stopped looking. After various experiences, Lu Fangqi and others began to see Xu Lai in a new light. They didn't expect her to be able to keep up with them so energetically these past few days.

Xu Lai's firefighter feature became popular, and the topic gained a lot of attention. Lu Fangqi showed the news to everyone. Although they claimed not to forgive Xu Lai, they had actually started to change their opinion of her. Jin Shichuan also saw the news and wondered how Xu Lai knew about something that happened to him ten years ago. Political Commissar Wen called Jin Shichuan and ordered him to go on a blind date. Jin Shichuan wasn't interested in dating, but he had to accept the arrangement. So he came up with a plan and asked Lu Fangqi to go in his place and deliver a message to the blind date.

After the firefighter feature was released, many people online developed a one-sided admiration for the handsome Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai saw the comments and couldn't help but declare her sovereignty over Jin Shichuan, even though they hadn't even begun a romantic relationship.

Lu Fangqi was rehearsing a scene where he would pass a message when the woman arrived. She also wasn't interested in the blind date and was just going through the motions. Just as she was about to leave, a customer nearby suddenly had a respiratory obstruction. As a doctor, the woman saved the patient's life in time. But when the patient was lifted onto the ambulance, Lu Fangqi had already disappeared. Taking advantage of Xu Lai's absence, Jiang Xin distracted everyone and used Xu Lai's computer to like the explosive post by Mo Da. Xu Lai rode her motorcycle to the fire station and met Lu Fangqi on the way, learning that Jin Shichuan didn't go on the blind date. Xu Lai was thrilled and headed straight to the fire brigade. She straightforwardly asked Jin Shichuan if he wanted to date her, but he coldly and firmly rejected her.

Xu Lai was drinking with Han Fang when she received a call from Team Leader Qin. Due to the TV station's official Weibo account liking Mo Da's post, Mo Da believed it had damaged their reputation and sent a lawyer's letter to the TV station. Xu Lai rushed back to the station, but Chief Lv was angry and didn't listen to Xu Lai's explanation. Afterwards, Team Leader Qin expressed belief in Xu Lai, but explained that it wasn't the time for explanations. The most important thing was to minimize the negative impact on the TV station and reduce the losses. Yun Kai had a long-standing cooperation with Mo Da, but now that Mo Da was surrounded by negative news, CEO Huo Yanzong defied public opinion and decided to terminate their cooperation and file a lawsuit against the company. Huo Yanzong learned from Han Fang that Xu Lai had liked Mo Da's post.

In order to help Xu Lai, Huo Yanzong specially went to Huai Harbor TV Station to meet Chief Lv and promised to participate in the station's prime-time advertising, hoping that Chief Lv wouldn't pursue Xu Lai's responsibility this time. Jiang Xin eavesdropped from outside and then followed Huo Yanzong into the elevator, talking about fairness. Huo Yanzong said only a few words, but Jiang Xin couldn't hold back her anger. Before leaving the TV station, Huo Yanzong met Xu Lai. At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Lai remembered that she wanted to message Jin Shichuan, but considering the time, he was probably already resting, so she ultimately didn't send it. Meanwhile, Jin Shichuan was still on a mission, rescuing a girl who threatened to jump off a building after a breakup. Jin Shichuan and several team members safely saved the girl.

The team members then discussed Xu Lai being rejected by Jin Shichuan and wondered if she would take it badly. Unintentionally, Jin Shichuan also had such concerns and thought about messaging Xu Lai, but ultimately decided against it. Jiang Xin spread rumors in the station that Huo Yanzong was backing Xu Lai behind the scenes. Colleagues discussed this in the restroom, and Xu Lai overheard it. Xu Lai went to find Huo Yanzong and asked him not to help her in this way. She already had a solution. Xu Lai disguised herself as a factory worker, recorded the unauthorized operations of Mo Da's subsidiary company, and made a phone call to report the factory for violating the storage of prohibited items. Jin Shichuan received a notice and rushed to the company, where he unexpectedly found Xu Lai anxiously running on the rooftop.

A female worker noticed that Xu Lai was behaving strangely, so the factory security and two men chased after her. Jin Shichuan quickly went upstairs and rescued Xu Lai, carrying her down when she sprained her foot. Xu Lai expressed her gratitude to him and learned that he had read the messages she had sent him.

Back home, Xu Lai was so excited that she felt like flying. She sent a message to Jin Shichuan to let him know she had safely arrived. This time, she received a reply from Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai showed the collected information and materials to Team Leader Qin. She believed that Mo Da indeed engaged in falsifying ratios, violating production regulations, and deceiving consumers. Xu Lai wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate Mo Da's internal production. With Team Leader Qin's confidence in her, they decided to take a gamble. As expected, once the report was released, netizens praised Huai Harbor TV Station, and numerous companies expressed their willingness to cooperate with the station, hoping that it could help improve their brand image. Xu Lai's merits and faults canceled each other out this time, and she didn't receive any punishment for liking the post.

Afterwards, Xu Lai had a private conversation with Jiang Xin. She had checked the surveillance footage and, although she had deleted it, Jiang Xin overlooked the surveillance video in the corridor. Based on the timing of the likes, the only person in the office area at that time was Jiang Xin. Xu Lai warned Jiang Xin that just because she didn't hold her accountable this time didn't mean she would tolerate it again in the future. Team Leader Qin called Xu Lai into the office and reminded her that being too aggressive in the workplace was not a good thing. Today was the open day at the fire station, and Xu Lai and Team Leader Qin applied for the opportunity to go on an external assignment at the fire station. The girl who was rescued by Jin Shichuan last time had developed feelings for him and specially came to the fire station on the open day to see Jin Shichuan. Lu Fangqi hurriedly called Xu Lai to inform her.

Xu Lai rushed over and intercepted this romantic opportunity for Jin Shichuan, claiming to be his reserve family member. She took the girl aside and talked to her about some principles. The girl left in a huff, and Jin Shichuan walked over, commenting that Xu Lai never stopped lying. Ignoring his sarcasm, Xu Lai put her hairpin on his hand. Jin Shichuan recalled his former comrade, Fang Huai, and the dog, Chasing Wind, that had been his companion for a long time. Fang Huai had died, and Chasing Wind had sacrificed itself during a rescue operation, becoming a pain that Jin Shichuan could never erase in his life. Jin Shichuan received a call from Old Pan while exercising and rushed to the base. He unexpectedly saw Xu Lai at the base, who was training a dog that looked very similar to Chasing Wind.

Old Pan said Xu Lai was an international dog trainer who often came to the base to train her dogs. She had even won awards in dog training competitions. Jin Shichuan seemed to see the scene of him training Chasing Wind again. The dog she was training, Ping'an, looked a lot like Chasing Wind. Jin Shichuan saw a photo of Chasing Wind in his wallet and finally remembered that Xu Lai was the girl he had saved in the earthquake ten years ago. He explained that his promise of the ten-year reunion was to ensure her health and happiness, and it wasn't a definitive commitment. Xu Lai held onto his clothes, knowing full well that her feelings for Jin Shichuan were not based on dependence but genuine love. Jin Shichuan appeared cold on the surface, but his heart was stirred because of Xu Lai. Xu Lai was drinking with Han Fang when she received a mission and hurriedly left. Huo Yanzong chose not to drink in order to see Xu Lai off.

There was a fire in Huizeyuan Community, and a private car was blocking the fire lane. Jin Shichuan tried contacting the owner but failed. With lives at stake, Jin Shichuan ordered the car to be forcefully moved. Xu Lai entered the community with Zhou Tingwei and provided real-time coverage of the scene. They rescued the trapped individuals, and an elderly lady rushed over, crying that her son was still upstairs. Jin Shichuan made a decisive decision and led his team back inside to rescue the person. Xu Lai spoke with the elderly lady and learned that her son rarely went out and had gained a lot of weight, weighing over 200 pounds now. Jin Shichuan instructed the other team members to bring the person out first while he stayed behind to continue searching. Xu Lai saw an explosion upstairs, and her heart tightened with worry for Jin Shichuan's safety.

After the explosion, Jin Shichuan was pinned down by a falling cabinet. He struggled desperately, smashing an aquarium to free himself from under the cabinet. However, due to the decreasing oxygen, he gradually lost consciousness. Xu Lai, wearing a firefighter suit, bravely entered the fire scene to rescue Jin Shichuan. When Jin Shichuan saw her appearing, he instantly regained consciousness. The team members outside arranged a ladder to assist them. Just as they were climbing the ladder, a violent explosion occurred in the fire scene. Jin Shichuan held Xu Lai tightly, protecting her. In that moment, Xu Lai felt fearless and only sensed the warmth of this genuine embrace. Everyone was rescued, and Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai were unharmed. As the team regrouped to prepare to return, the owner of the private car came over, instigating trouble and pushing Jin Shichuan, who had just come back from the brink of death.

They had escaped the explosion and fire but couldn't escape the baseless accusations from this arrogant and unreasonable car owner. Xu Lai couldn't stand it and kicked the troublemaker in retaliation. The man quickly fought back, but Jin Shichuan held Xu Lai in his arms, shielding her. However, he ended up being struck in the back. Later, the man realized he was in the wrong, and fearing police involvement, he reluctantly left. After this incident, everyone could see that Xu Lai was serious about Jin Shichuan, considering she risked her life to save him in the fire. With unanimous agreement, everyone began calling Xu Lai "sister-in-law." Jin Shichuan reproached Xu Lai for her reckless behavior in entering the fire scene, even though she had received rescue training. In his presence, Xu Lai obediently admitted her mistake.

Everyone created an opportunity for them and intentionally left Jin Shichuan behind. Xu Lai followed Jin Shichuan like a shadow, while Huo Yanzong waited for her in place. Xu Lai took the opportunity to ask Huo Yanzong to accompany Jin Shichuan to the hospital for treatment. Upon learning that this man was the one Xu Lai liked, Huo Yanzong couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis. He wanted to confess his feelings to Xu Lai, but she interrupted him and quickly pursued Jin Shichuan. Lu Fangqi was also receiving an injection at the hospital and unexpectedly encountered Zang Qiu, the female doctor from last time. Jin Shichuan also saw the female doctor and recognized her. When they talked, Xu Lai secretly watched from a corner, unable to figure out the true relationship between Jin Shichuan and the female doctor.

After the nurse finished treating Jin Shichuan's wounds, Xu Lai eagerly offered to help him get dressed. Jin Shichuan felt helpless and ordered Lu Fangqi to pull Xu Lai away. Instead, Xu Lai drew closer to Lu Fangqi and asked him to find out about the relationship between the female doctor and Jin Shichuan. Huo Yanzong drank a lot of alcohol and thought that if he hadn't missed that bus in 2012, he would have been the one to save Xu Lai, and Xu Lai would have been the person he held dear. But fate played a trick, and Xu Lai fell in love with Jin Shichuan. Just as Xu Lai's feelings for Jin Shichuan were persistent, Huo Yanzong was also deeply attached to Xu Lai. He was willing to lose everything except Xu Lai, and he wouldn't allow anyone to take her away from him.

The kitchen of the fire station failed to prepare meals on time. Seeing this, Jin Shichuan personally cooked for everyone. It was a rare occasion for everyone to enjoy a meal cooked by Jin Shichuan, and they were all excited. Lu Fangqi was hospitalized and inquired about Zang Qiu's situation through the nurse. He learned that her ex-boyfriend was a firefighter and had won first place in the national firefighting competition. Zang Qiu quickly found out that Lu Fangqi was inquiring about her at the hospital and angrily forced him to leave. To save his life, Lu Fangqi ran out wearing patient clothes and informed Xu Lai about everything he had learned. Xu Lai suspected that Zang Qiu was Jin Shichuan's ex-girlfriend, but she quickly realized that it didn't matter. After all, they had already broken up, and Xu Lai still had a chance.

Lu Fangqi returned to the fire station and went to probe Jin Shichuan's intentions. Jin Shichuan didn't tell him directly but started reminiscing about the past. Zang Qiu wasn't his ex-girlfriend; she was the wife of Fang Huai. During a rescue operation, Fang Huai sacrificed himself to save Jin Shichuan. That's why Jin Shichuan felt guilty towards Zang Qiu, and Zang Qiu couldn't let go of Fang Huai's death or forgive Jin Shichuan.

In the fire scene, Fang Huai pushed Jin Shichuan aside, but she herself was tightly pinned down by the fallen eaves. By the time she was taken to the hospital, she was already at the brink of death. Gasping for his last breath, Fang Huai told Jin Shichuan that the person he was most concerned about was Zang Qiu. He hoped Jin Shichuan would convey to Zang Qiu that she must be happy. Huo Yanzong obtained some information and had someone contact the fire station. Cloud Open Group could provide a training ground for the fire station in the new shopping mall. Jin Shichuan then brought his team members to the new shopping mall to identify and address the fire safety issues, providing valuable suggestions for the fire safety of the new mall. Huo Yanzong had the opportunity to see Jin Shichuan again. He originally wanted to invite him for a meal to discuss matters, but Jin Shichuan had to return to the station, so he declined.

Huo Yanzong took a step back and had a private conversation with Jin Shichuan, intending to remind him to maintain a distance from Xu Lai. Jin Shichuan politely expressed that Xu Lai was an adult and had her own judgment and choices. These words should be said to Xu Lai by Huo Yanzong himself, as he and Xu Lai were friends. In the evening, Jin Shichuan invited Xu Lai for dinner to have a frank conversation with her. His mission was to save people and fight fires, and he had no time or energy for romantic relationships. He would not start a family either because he couldn't make any promises or commitments to anyone. Xu Lai respected his ideals and mission, but she would not give up. She asked him one last question, whether he truly had no feelings for her at all. Jin Shichuan fell silent for a few seconds and resolutely said no. Xu Lai's eyes turned red.

She drank glass after glass of alcohol, demanding that Jin Shichuan compensate her for the ten years of her youth. Before Jin Shichuan could react, Xu Lai leaned over the table, grabbed his collar, and kissed him on the lips. It was a brief moment, and then Xu Lai let go of him, got up, and left without looking back. Jin Shichuan didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, his face looked pale during his morning run, and he seemed absent-minded while cleaning the station. Lu Fangqi believed it must be because of Xu Lai. Xu Lai told Han Fang that she gave her first kiss to her first love, which was Jin Shichuan. At that time, they were mainly influenced by alcohol and some stimulation, so she couldn't control herself. She planned to change her strategy and no longer passively sacrifice her self-esteem to pursue him.

The political commissar informed Jin Shichuan that the higher authorities decided to form a professional earthquake rescue team. Before that, a series of training work needed to be conducted, and Jin Shichuan was appointed as the team leader. Jin Shichuan thanked the higher authorities for their trust, but he refused to accept the dog training part of the job. However, the political commissar's order was not a request for his consent. Jin Shichuan had to step back and stated that he would only lead the team members in training and not personally handle the dogs. The search and rescue dog, Zhaifeng, was injured and exhausted after saving Jin Shichuan. It died from its injuries. This caused a great psychological trauma to Jin Shichuan, leading him to transfer from the search and rescue dog team to the fire brigade, completely avoiding any work related to search and rescue dogs.

Xu Lai received an offer and became a professional search and rescue dog instructor for the earthquake rescue team. The team leader, Qin, readily approved her request for a month-long leave. Jiang Xin saw Huo Yanzong waiting for Xu Lai and deliberately told him that Xu Lai became a dog trainer for Jin Shichuan, reminding him not to end up empty-handed. Huo Yanzong was in a bad mood and told Xu Lai during dinner that he had just experienced heartbreak. Xu Lai was unaware of his feelings for her and reminded him to be brave and fight for love if he liked someone. Xu Lai appeared in front of Jin Shichuan and others in her new role as an instructor, and she reminded Jin Shichuan to address her as Instructor Xu.

Lu Fangqi and Liu Xu could both tell that Xu Lai had become much colder towards Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan couldn't stand Lu Fangqi's constant nagging in his ear, so when he got angry, Lu Fangqi quickly slipped away. After Xu Lai finished washing up and said goodbye to Lu Fangqi, she had only taken a few steps when she heard Jin Shichuan approaching. She turned back intentionally and stood next to him, pretending to clean her towel. Jin Shichuan wanted to bring up the incident of their kiss, but Xu Lai didn't care and acted as if it never happened. These words kept Jin Shichuan awake all night, and he secretly went to the dormitory of his teammates to seek advice from Lu Fangqi. Based on his experience, Lu Fangqi gave two possible answers and suggested that Jin Shichuan watch more idol dramas.

The next day, each team member selected their own dog. Xu Lai demonstrated a set of simple actions with Ping'an and then let everyone train their dogs. Lu Fangqi, who was afraid of dogs, specifically chose the most gentle-natured dog and named it Xiaohei (Little Black). On the first day, there were many challenges in getting the people and dogs to adjust to each other, and Xu Lai was in charge of taking photos to document the process. From morning to night, everyone felt more exhausted from chasing after the dogs than from the actual training. After the training session, Jin Shichuan, after struggling internally, called out to Xu Lai and said he wanted to discuss the next step of their work. They agreed to meet in the conference room at 9 p.m. Xu Lai proposed combining the training for firefighters with the training for search and rescue dogs to improve efficiency.

However, Jin Shichuan disagreed because he didn't want to handle the dogs personally. Just then, the sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, and it started to rain. The power went out at the base, and Xu Lai got scared and threw herself into Jin Shichuan's arms. Ever since the earthquake, she had been afraid of rainy nights. Jin Shichuan gently comforted her until the power came back on. After the rain stopped, Jin Shichuan went to inspect the training equipment for the next day, while Xu Lai went to the dog kennel. When the inspection was over, it started to rain again, and Xu Lai huddled under the eaves. Jin Shichuan knew she would be scared, so he came over and specially offered to escort her. Together, they ran across the lawn and playground, with Xu Lai understanding that since ten years ago, she had already set her sights on Jin Shichuan, and every step she took was to enter his heart.

During dog training, Lu Fangqi got bitten and Jin Shichuan immediately had someone take him to the hospital. Lu Fangqi was scared of getting shots and discussed with the nurse if it could be done more gently. Zang Qiu, who was in the next bed, recognized the voice and pulled back the curtain to find Lu Fangqi. Zang Qiu stepped forward to help when she saw a woman being dragged by her abusive husband, and the husband even tried to attack Zang Qiu. However, Lu Fangqi swiftly restrained him. Zang Qiu had a change of opinion about Lu Fangqi, and Lu Fangqi also started to look at her with admiration for standing up against the abuser. In the middle of the night, Jin Shichuan gathered the team members, and Zhang Yang arrived late and refused to accept it. Jin Shichuan made him do one hundred push-ups. Jin Shichuan caught a glimpse of Xu Lai, who was wearing very little clothing, and immediately went up to cover her with his own coat.

Lu Fangqi's fear of getting shots reminded Zang Qiu of some memories related to Fang Huai. She reminded Lu Fangqi to come back in three days to get the stitches removed. Zhang Yang proposed a rope climbing competition with Jin Shichuan, and Jin Shichuan agreed. The inevitable result was that Zhang Yang lost, and Xu Lai couldn't help but cheer for Jin Shichuan. However, she didn't understand why Jin Shichuan had agreed to the challenge. Jin Shichuan said that Zhang Yang had a too arrogant personality and needed to have his edge dulled. Zhang Yang and Liu Xu, who were both dissatisfied with each other, even left the dog kennel unlocked and went to compete in skills, without even bringing a safety rope. Lu Fangqi informed Jin Shichuan about this, and Jin Shichuan went to stop them and made everyone except Zhang Yang do push-ups. Then, Jin Shichuan said something that made Zhang Yang feel ashamed and remorseful.

Zhang Yang and Liu Xu returned to the dog kennel and found that Guanjun and Wu Di were missing. They searched the entire base but couldn't find them, so they had to look for Xu Lai. It was about to rain, and the rain would dilute the scent, making it even harder for the dogs to find their way back.

Xu Lai immediately decided to take Ping'an to the back mountain to search for the dogs, and Liu Xu went with her, while Zhang Yang was responsible for informing Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai and Liu Xu split up to search for the dogs. Inadvertently, Xu Lai slipped and fell down a small slope. There were ear-piercing thunder and lightning flashing across the night sky. Xu Lai crouched down, trembling and unable to move. Jin Shichuan saw Ping'an and was led to Xu Lai by him. Xu Lai saw Jin Shichuan, who seemed like a god descending by her side, and immediately hugged him. Jin Shichuan took her to a small cabin in the mountains and planned to go find the dogs after the rain stopped. Although the dogs were important, Jin Shichuan didn't want Xu Lai to risk coming out in the rain without considering her safety. As an instructor, Xu Lai treated every dog as a companion and wouldn't leave any of them behind.

Jin Shichuan knew that Xu Lai was afraid of dark spaces, so he gave her a Ultraman-themed small flashlight. Xu Lai knew he was reminded of chasing the wind, and she hoped that she could also illuminate Jin Shichuan's heart like this little flashlight. Liu Xu found Guanjun and Wu Di, and Zhang Yang called Jin Shichuan to inform him. Jin Shichuan said he was currently with Xu Lai. Jin Shichuan stood outside the door for a while, and when he entered, Xu Lai had already fallen asleep. Jin Shichuan sat next to her, and Xu Lai rested her head on Jin Shichuan's shoulder. Ping'an also rested his head on Jin Shichuan's leg. Both the dog and the person leaned on him, and Jin Shichuan suddenly felt very content. The next morning, it was bright outside, but Jin Shichuan couldn't wake Xu Lai up. When he touched her forehead, he realized she had a fever, so he immediately took her to the hospital.

Xu Lai held onto Jin Shichuan tightly, even when she was being examined, Jin Shichuan held her in his arms. During Xu Lai's unconsciousness, she kept holding Jin Shichuan's hand, and Jin Shichuan stayed by her side, with the intravenous drip for several hours. Zang Qiu said the fever had subsided but she still needed to stay in the hospital for observation. This would affect the training, and Xu Lai didn't want to stay in the hospital. However, Jin Shichuan insisted on going to handle her admission procedures. Lu Fangqi cared about Zang Qiu, but Zang Qiu didn't need his concern. Jin Shichuan received a call and returned to the base. Huo Yanzong learned from Han Fang that she was hospitalized and specially bought Li's pan-fried dumplings to visit her. Xu Lai asked him to cover for her and sneaked out of the hospital. Lu Fangqi happened to witness this scene and hurried back to inform Jin Shichuan.

Although Jin Shichuan pretended not to care on the surface, he was actually very concerned. He arrived at the base gate and happened to see Huo Yanzong and Xu Lai standing very close together. He immediately ran over and pulled Xu Lai away, while Huo Yanzong also held Xu Lai's other hand unwilling to back down. Xu Lai expressed helplessness and let go of her own hand. She continued to say a few words to Huo Yanzong at the door and then entered the training base. Jin Shichuan's coat had the hairpin she had given him before, which he not only didn't lose but also carried with him. Xu Lai's mouth lifted in happiness, and Jin Shichuan said he forgot to throw it away, but Xu Lai could tell he was saying one thing and meaning another. That night, Jin Shichuan remembered how close Xu Lai and Huo Yanzong were earlier, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he threw the hairpin into the trash can.

During dinner the next day, Jin Shichuan learned that Lu Fangqi had cleaned his room and also took out the trash for him. Jin Shichuan suddenly became anxious and went to rummage through the trash can to find the hairpin. Lu Fangqi searched through the trash can with him for a long time and finally found the hairpin. Liu Xu and Zhang Yang apologized to Xu Lai. If they hadn't lost the dogs, Xu Lai wouldn't have been caught in the rain while searching in the mountains, and she wouldn't have gotten a fever and stayed in the hospital. Xu Lai generously said it was alright. Considering that Xu Lai hadn't fully recovered, Jin Shichuan canceled today's dog training session. Xu Lai smelled the unpleasant odor on Jin Shichuan and Lu Fangqi and Jin Shichuan didn't allow Lu Fangqi to mention that they were rummaging through the trash can, so he took him to take a shower. While bathing, Jin Shichuan even wore the hairpin.

When everyone saw Xu Lai just leaving Jin Shichuan's dorm, they teasingly entered and joked with Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan, who was straightforward, said that he and Xu Lai were just simple colleagues. Xu Lai, who happened to be returning after picking up medicine, overheard what he said and became a bit angry. After putting down the medicine, she left. Jin Shichuan knew he was at fault, so he prepared food in advance for her in the cafeteria. But Xu Lai was still angry and didn't accept his gesture. Worried that Xu Lai would go hungry at night, Jin Shichuan specially prepared food and went to her dormitory to find her.

Huo Yanzong called Xu Lai and learned that she hadn't eaten yet, so he asked her to come out, bringing her a lot of food she loved. At the same time, Jin Shichuan was also cooking for Xu Lai. When he saw Xu Lai enjoying her meal, Huo Yanzong recalled the fond memories of their childhood together. They sat together in the car, gazing at the starry night sky. Huo Yanzong felt that the moment was beautiful, but unfortunately, Xu Lai only saw him as a friend. Jin Shichuan took the noodles and went to find Xu Lai, but when he arrived at the dorm, only Ping'an was there, and Xu Lai was nowhere to be found. After calling her for a while, Ping'an took the initiative to lead Jin Shichuan to find Xu Lai, and that's when Jin Shichuan saw Xu Lai and Huo Yanzong together. This misunderstanding made Xu Lai even angrier, especially since Ping'an always followed Jin Shichuan around.

That night, Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan had an unpleasant argument. Xu Lai returned to her dorm and saw Jin Shichuan's dropped keys on the floor, along with a bowl of noodles on her desk. Jin Shichuan noticed the missing keys and searched everywhere, while Xu Lai ate the noodles right in front of him. The next day's training was about helping the dogs overcome their fear of open flames. Xu Lai demonstrated it perfectly with Ping'an. However, Zhang Yang's champion dog got injured while jumping through a hoop of fire. Jin Shichuan held Zhang Yang accountable, and Zhang Yang admitted that he neglected the champion's physical condition and trained him privately, leading to the injury. Jin Shichuan ordered Zhang Yang to be temporarily transferred to logistics for further handling. Xu Lai pleaded for Zhang Yang and mentioned "Chasing the Wind," which changed Jin Shichuan's expression. From then on, he refused to train with any other dog, considering it as his punishment.

Jin Shichuan received a call from Wen Qingguo and learned that the higher-ups approved Ping'an's application to join the rescue dog team. However, Ping'an had to pass the graduation assessment like the other dogs before being officially included in the duty roster. Jin Shichuan relayed the message to Xu Lai, but she didn't want to talk to him and used Lu Fangqi as a messenger. Jin Shichuan assigned Liu Xu to help Zhang Yang with moving things. Zhang Yang accidentally learned about Xu Lai's frustration with Jin Shichuan because of his transfer and took the initiative to explain things to her. Xu Lai realized her mistake and wrote a letter, asking Ping'an to deliver it to Jin Shichuan. At eight o'clock in the evening, Jin Shichuan arrived at the playground on time to meet Xu Lai. They had a heartfelt conversation, and Xu Lai confessed her feelings to Jin Shichuan once again, kissing him on the cheek.

Jin Shichuan slowly developed feelings for Xu Lai. The next day, when he saw Xu Lai during basketball practice, he didn't even play and rushed over to talk to her. Xu Lai planned to take the team and the dogs to the seaside the next day to change the training environment, and Jin Shichuan readily agreed. The training at the beach was very effective, and everyone, both humans and dogs, were happy. Lu Fangqi secretly told Liu Xu that Jin Shichuan had been smiling more ever since Xu Lai arrived. As everyone got into the car, Jin Shichuan remained at the beach, contemplating who should be Ping'an's instructor. Xu Lai had already decided that she wanted Jin Shichuan to be Ping'an's instructor. However, Jin Shichuan stated that he couldn't handle any dog other than Chasing the Wind. Suddenly, someone fell into the water, and Jin Shichuan jumped in to save them but ended up being grabbed and unable to move. Ping'an witnessed this and also jumped in.

Later, they were rescued, and everything was fine, but Ping'an collapsed on the beach. Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai rushed Ping'an to the hospital for treatment. Xu Lai said that Ping'an was just like Chasing the Wind, coming to heal him, and she didn't want Ping'an to wait too long. Lu Fangqi brought the drowning person to the hospital for treatment and took the opportunity to visit Zang Qiu. Zang Qiu had been in surgery all day without eating and was hungry and in pain. Lu Fangqi wanted to take her to eat directly.

Zang Qiu decisively rejected Lu Fangqi's kindness and pushed him out of the office. She saw the note he left on the table, with a potted cactus as a gift. Zang Qiu felt the goodwill from Lu Fangqi, and since he hadn't left yet, she invited him to eat together. Every time Lu Fangqi saw Zang Qiu, she always had a cold attitude, but after this interaction, he realized she had a fiery side. Their relationship progressed further because of this encounter. Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai stayed by Ping'an's side all the time. Xu Lai fell asleep waiting, and Jin Shichuan rested her head on his shoulder. When Ping'an woke up, she continuously licked Jin Shichuan's hand. The next day, Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai brought Ping'an back to the base.

Ping'an's recovery was going well, but she still struggled a bit with the upcoming assessment, and Xu Lai was very worried. Jin Shichuan announced to everyone that from that day onwards, he would be Ping'an's instructor, and he believed Ping'an would pass the assessment. Zhang Yang told Liu Xu not to visit him anymore and to focus on training, as there was only one week left until the assessment. Zhang Yang didn't think Jin Shichuan would transfer him back to the team so soon, but Jin Shichuan suddenly appeared and notified him to return to the team, asking Liu Xu to help him catch up on the training progress. Under Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai's careful care and training, Ping'an made rapid progress, and all the team members passed the assessment, officially joining the earthquake rescue team. As the training ended, Xu Lai also prepared to leave the base.

That night, everyone teased Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan to sing love songs together. Jin Shichuan felt embarrassed to sing, but Xu Lai took the initiative to sing a song and kept her eyes on Jin Shichuan. After the song, everyone shared their initial intentions of becoming firefighters. On the night before leaving the base, Xu Lai was reluctant to part with Jin Shichuan, so she arranged to meet him at the playground. When they first joined the training team, she secretly brought a bottle of wine, but according to the rules, Jin Shichuan didn't drink a drop, and Xu Lai finished the entire bottle. Drunk Xu Lai was very cute, and Jin Shichuan carried her back to the dorm. The next day, Xu Lai woke up and regretted what happened last night. Today was the day Xu Lai would leave the training team, and Huo Yanzong sent her a message to pick her up. Xu Lai replied with a yes. Huo Yanzong had no interest in the dinner arranged by Han Fang and even less interest in the actress Yu Shishi. He drove straight to the training base to pick up Xu Lai.

On the day of her departure, Xu Lai entrusted Ping'an to Jin Shichuan's care and, taking advantage of his distraction, kissed him to complete what they didn't finish last night. It was always her "ambushing" him, but this time Jin Shichuan "counterattacked" slightly by placing his hand on Xu Lai's neck, pulling her closer, and kissing her on the lips. Huo Yanzong happened to arrive in his car and witnessed this scene, making him very upset. However, when Xu Lai asked for an explanation, he didn't clarify the reason. Xu Lai returned to the TV station and reported her work to Team Leader Qin. Team Leader Qin had high expectations for her and planned to assign her to host the program "Huai Gang Interview," with Huo Yanzong, Jin Shichuan, and popular female star Yu Shishi as guests.

During the dinner gathering, Yu Shishi fell in love at first sight with the handsome Huo Yanzong, while others were toasting and chatting, but Yu Shishi remained unmoved by Huo Yanzong's charm. At that moment, Huo Yanzong's heart was focused on Xu Lai, and he had no interest in the beautiful and charming Yu Shishi. However, when she mentioned escaping, Huo Yanzong immediately thought of Xu Lai.

Xu Lai called Huo Yanzong on the phone and, thinking about his current state, she was still somewhat worried. Huo Yanzong said he was fine and that his mood instantly improved because of her phone call. He agreed to participate in the interview program hosted by Xu Lai. Just as Xu Lai returned home, she received a video call from Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai could tell that it wasn't Ping'an missing her, but rather Jin Shichuan missing her. The next day, Xu Lai went to the fire station to find Jin Shichuan and invited him to participate in the interview program. Jin Shichuan didn't like being interviewed, but when he learned that Huo Yanzong would also be attending, he said he would consider it. The two of them went to see Ping'an together and talked about Huo Yanzong. Suddenly, Jin Shichuan became angry, and Xu Lai chased after him, asking why he suddenly got angry, acting jealous.

Jin Shichuan, being questioned persistently, no longer hid his true feelings and straightforwardly said that he cared a lot about her and didn't like her praising other men. He would go to the interview program, and Xu Lai smiled behind him, saying she would send him the schedule. Soon, Jin Shichuan asked for leave from Director Wen, and when Director Wen learned that it was for the program, he immediately agreed. Ever since Jin Shichuan returned from the training, Director Wen noticed a big change in him. He was no longer as cold and distant as before and became more cheerful and smiling. Director Wen guessed it was because of Xu Lai, and Jin Shichuan, in order to prevent Director Wen from teasing him, quickly found an excuse to leave. Zhang Yang received his firefighter uniform, and it looked quite fitting on him. He didn't understand why there was a blood type on it, and Liu Xu explained a few sentences to him.

Yu Shishi wanted her manager to cancel the interview program, but when she learned that Huo Yanzong would also be attending, she changed her mind and decided to participate. Xu Lai sent a detailed schedule to Jin Shichuan, and after Jin Shichuan received it, he chatted with her for a few sentences. Xu Lai noticed for the first time that he used emojis, and she immediately thought he was very cute. The two of them chatted for a while, with sweet smiles on their faces. The next day, Xu Lai dressed up carefully and even wore a dress. Jin Shichuan also dressed up, wearing a military uniform and spraying some cologne. After the interview, he had something to say to Xu Lai. Yu Shishi arrived first, followed by Huo Yanzong. Xu Lai asked Zhou Tingwei to bring Huo Yanzong to the lounge, where she would wait for Jin Shichuan, while Huo Yanzong met Yu Shishi in the lounge.

There was a car accident on the way, and someone was hit on Xiafei Road. Jin Shichuan stepped forward and led the surrounding crowd to lift the car and save the person. The interview was about to start, and Xu Lai couldn't contact Jin Shichuan, getting scolded by the director. Huo Yanzong came to Xu Lai's defense. Yu Shishi could see that Huo Yanzong liked Xu Lai and made a joking remark, but Huo Yanzong firmly stated that he would marry Xu Lai. Yu Shishi said that no one could predict the future. After saving the person, Jin Shichuan hurriedly went to the TV station and finally arrived before the interview program began. He called Xu Lai, and Zhou Tingwei recognized Jin Shichuan, volunteering to go down and pick him up. Along the way, Jiang Xin deliberately told Jin Shichuan that Huo Yanzong was Xu Lai's fiancé, and although Jin Shichuan remained calm on the surface, he was shocked in his heart. Jin Shichuan arrived at the interview venue and was about to talk to Xu Lai when the director interrupted, so he had to start the interview first. The recording began, and Xu Lai asked Jin Shichuan questions. Jin Shichuan mentioned the Huining earthquake ten years ago. After the interview ended, Huo Yanzong confronted Jin Shichuan in the restroom, even admitting that he wanted to marry Xu Lai. Yu Shishi wanted to test Xu Lai for Huo Yanzong, so she kissed him, but Jin Shichuan saw this, feeling that he had let Xu Lai down, and angrily grabbed Huo Yanzong's collar. Xu Lai hurriedly ran over to stop them, not knowing what misunderstanding had occurred between the two.

Back at the fire station, Jin Shichuan lost his smile and wore a worried expression all day. He looked at Ping'an, unsure of what he should do. Xu Lai hesitated for a moment but decided to call Jin Shichuan.

Xu Lai tried to call Jin Shichuan, but he didn't answer the phone or reply to her messages. Xu Lai felt anxious and asked Zhou Tingwei to help her take leave so she could go to the fire station and clarify things with Jin Shichuan. Outside the fire station, Xu Lai met Liu Xu and Lu Fangqi, who informed her that Jin Shichuan's emotions had been unstable since he returned from the program. Since he was on leave today, Xu Lai could talk to him. When Jin Shichuan saw Xu Lai, he turned around to leave, but she followed him persistently, asking him why he was angry. Jin Shichuan walked on without responding, and Xu Lai accidentally tripped and fell. Jin Shichuan immediately stopped to help her up. Taking this opportunity, Xu Lai asked her questions, and Jin Shichuan asked if she was going to marry Huo Yanzong. Xu Lai denied it and clarified that Huo Yanzong was just her friend.

Xu Lai realized why Jin Shichuan was angry, and she emphasized that she had only liked him from the beginning. Jin Shichuan smiled and rode his bike to take her home. At the group meeting, Huo Yanzong rejected Sun Lei's proposal to expand production, which puzzled Han Fang. Huo Yanzong explained that Sun Lei was someone who sought quick success and instant benefits, and he was worried that expanding production would make Sun Lei compromise on principles. Jin Shichuan escorted Xu Lai home and said that the previous kiss was a counterattack, while this kiss was an active offense. Before returning to the fire station, Jin Shichuan unexpectedly kissed her, leaving Huo Yanzong heartbroken. Without saying goodbye to Xu Lai, he drove away. Huo Yanzong drank a lot of alcohol, and Han Fang was surprised to see that there were empty bottles of alcohol on the table.

Under Han Fang's instigation, Huo Yanzong, in a drunken state, went to confess his feelings to Xu Lai. He revealed that he had loved her for thirteen years, longer than anyone else. Xu Lai was shocked and couldn't control herself, so she slapped Huo Yanzong. After Huo Yanzong sobered up, he left, but Xu Lai was left in a state of confusion and didn't even reply to Jin Shichuan's messages. The next day, she met Han Fang, who wasn't surprised at all about Huo Yanzong confessing to her. Initially, Huo Yanzong's dream was to become a soldier, but he promised his mother to pursue a business career in order to go abroad to find Xu Lai. Han Fang suggested that perhaps Xu Lai should reconsider Huo Yanzong's feelings as he had liked her for a long time. Han Fang's words deeply impacted Xu Lai, making her realize that she had been oblivious to Huo Yanzong's true feelings.

After much thought, Xu Lai decided to find Huo Yanzong and clarify things. She couldn't accept his kindness while knowing that he liked her, so until Huo Yanzong sorted out his feelings, they should refrain from contacting each other temporarily. Jin Shichuan went home to have dinner with his grandfather, who once again urged him about his life decisions. Jin Shichuan wanted to tell his grandfather about the girl he liked, but his grandfather didn't give him a chance to speak. After dinner, Jin Shichuan played the piano and reminisced about the past. Jin Shichuan's father was also a firefighter and was severely injured while on duty. Jin Shichuan's mother drove him to the hospital, but they had a car accident on the way. That year, Jin Shichuan lost both of his parents.

These events had a profound impact on him. Before meeting Xu Lai, he had decided not to pursue romantic relationships or get married in his life. However, Xu Lai changed his perspective. Jin Shichuan wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with his grandfather, so he told him about the person he liked. He assured his grandfather that as soon as he and that girl established a solid relationship, he would immediately bring her home. Back at the fire station, Jin Shichuan still couldn't reach Xu Lai, so he directly took Ping'an and went to find her.

Jin Shichuan couldn't reach Xu Lai, so he brought Ping'an to see her. Xu Lai said she had hurt a friend, and Jin Shichuan patiently comforted her, eventually improving her mood. Huo Yanzong got drunk at a bar and coincidentally ran into Yu Shishi. Yu Shishi couldn't bear to let him spend the night on the streets while intoxicated, so she took him to her home. When she fastened Huo Yanzong's seatbelt, a paparazzo who had been following her took a photo. The next day, Huo Yanzong woke up and found himself naked in Yu Shishi's home. Seeing his condition, Yu Shishi playfully let Huo Yanzong mistakenly believe that they had been intimate the previous night. She successfully pranked Huo Yanzong and was very happy. Finally, she explained that nothing had happened between them last night, and she had just kindly brought him home.

Huo Yanzong sent his location to Han Fang, who came to pick him up and unexpectedly discovered that Huo Yanzong had spent the night at Yu Shishi's place. Han Fang mentioned that Xu Lai had visited him yesterday, and he could tell that she was troubled. Huo Yanzong didn't want to lose Xu Lai and vowed to win her back. After the morning exercise, Jin Shichuan took a photo of Ping'an and sent it to Xu Lai. After his comforting words and guidance last night, Xu Lai had a good sleep, and waking up to a bright sunny day improved her mood. Upon seeing the message, she called Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan talked about his childhood experiences, how he lost his parents overnight, and how a girl who played the piano healed him. Later, when Jin Shichuan grew up and tried to find her, he couldn't locate her.

Xu Lai sensed the crisis and asked if that girl was his first love. Jin Shichuan immediately denied it and said he would tell her about the matter between him and that girl when there's time. Jin Shichuan also had a question: why did Xu Lai set their agreement for ten years later? Xu Lai told him that she wanted to become an outstanding person in those ten years so that they could be equals. A major traffic accident occurred on Nangang Road, involving a motorhome and a small car. The motorhome caught fire, and the small car was stuck and at risk of falling from the bridge. Jin Shichuan led the team to rescue, and Xu Lai asked Zhou Tingwei to bring the photography and videography equipment to the scene while she rode her motorcycle there immediately.

Zhang Yang, Liu Xu, and Cui Jianan were responsible for rescuing the trapped people in the motorhome. Zhang Yang saw a man using his body to protect a woman and child, preventing them from suffering greater burns. The man died, and the woman and child were sent to the hospital for treatment. On the other side, Jin Shichuan and Lu Fangqi rescued a man and child trapped on the bridge pillar. The rescue process was very dangerous, and while the child was saved, Jin Shichuan and the man nearly fell. Fortunately, Jin Shichuan's experience in rescue prevented the worst, and Xu Lai came to help pull them up. The child rushed over and hugged Jin Shichuan, calling him "Superman Uncle" and thanking him for saving them and their father. Embracing Xu Lai, Jin Shichuan, who had been pulled back from the brink of death, bravely confessed his feelings.

Xu Lai finally received Jin Shichuan's confession, and without hesitation, she accepted it. The woman who was burned felt hopeless and refused treatment, but Zang Qiu consoled her, eventually convincing her to cooperate and receive treatment. Jin Shichuan injured his leg while saving people but didn't tell anyone. Zhang Yang faced death directly for the first time, and his emotions fluctuated. Liu Xu reminded him that, as firefighters, they must have a strong heart, and facing death is part of their job. Lu Fangqi went to find Zang Qiu, and she straightforwardly asked if he liked her. She told him that he couldn't like her because she was already married. Nevertheless, Lu Fangqi left some food for her and encouraged her to eat well. Lu Fangqi returned to the station and told Liu Xu that when Zang Qiu rejected him, he realized that he truly had feelings for her.

Zang Qiu is already married, which makes Lu Fangqi feel very frustrated. His love has ended before it even began. Jin Shichuan went to see Ping'an, who noticed the injury on his leg. Jin Shichuan reassured Ping'an that he was fine. Today is the first day of Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan's relationship. She is excited and can't sleep, so she chats with Jin Shichuan before going to bed. Their conversation is filled with sweet romantic vibes. The next day, Xu Lai goes to the fire station to discuss the details of the motorhome accident with Jin Shichuan. Based on the direction of the fire and the termination line, Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai speculate that the fire started in the refrigerator in the motorhome. However, this is only their speculation based on the existing clues. The exact cause will depend on the fire investigation report issued by the relevant department.

Xu Lai reports the investigation findings to Team Leader Qin. She says that the cause of the fire is still uncertain, but there are two possibilities: improper use by a person or serious quality issues with the onboard refrigerator. The manufacturing company of the refrigerator is TC Company. Team Leader Qin tells Xu Lai to remember that companies like this one usually have a powerful team of lawyers and financial support. Xu Lai needs to be cautious during the investigation and evidence collection. There are rumors all over the internet about Huo Yanzong and Yu Shishi. To provoke Xu Lai, Huo Yanzong not only fails to clarify the situation but also admits that he is indeed dating Yu Shishi. Yu Shishi agrees to cooperate and publicly acknowledges their relationship in front of the camera.

Jiang Xin deliberately tells Xu Lai about this to make her feel uncomfortable. Xu Lai watches the public video of Yu Shishi but instead of being upset, she smiles. She is happy that Huo Yanzong has found someone he likes. When Xu Lai learns that Yun Kai Group has invested in TC Company, she feels uneasy and arranges to meet Huo Yanzong. Huo Yanzong is pleasantly surprised and asks Yu Shishi, a popular star, to ride in the paparazzi's car while he rushes to meet Xu Lai. Xu Lai mentions the incident with the TC Company's onboard refrigerator, and Huo Yanzong assumes that she is concerned about him. His mood instantly improves, and he encourages Xu Lai to investigate without any worries. Yun Kai Group is just an investor and not responsible for the production and operation of TC Company's onboard refrigerators. Even if there are any issues, it won't affect him.

Later, Xu Lai mentions Huo Yanzong's relationship with Yu Shishi and genuinely expresses her happiness for him. At the same time, she tells him that she is now with Jin Shichuan. Huo Yanzong's mood plummets, but he puts on a fake smile. Knowing that Xu Lai is meeting Huo Yanzong in the evening, Jin Shichuan becomes jealous and directly goes to Asakusa to pick up Xu Lai. Seeing Jin Shichuan's intense jealousy, Xu Lai is overjoyed. Xu Lai sends the same model of onboard refrigerator to the fire station for testing. After experiments and tests, it is confirmed that the fire in the motorhome was caused by the poor quality of this model of onboard refrigerator. Xu Lai decides to interview more people involved to understand the situation better and uncover the truth as soon as possible. Lu Fangqi has been distracted recently, so Jin Shichuan specially calls him out for a talk.

The woman who was burned is named Zhao Li. She owes a large amount of medical expenses, and her mother can no longer afford it. Her mother decides to complete the discharge procedures for Zhao Li. Zang Qiu tries to stop her and decides to help Zhao Li by paying her medical expenses upfront. After obtaining Zang Qiu's approval, Xu Lai interviews Zhao Li. She decides to reveal the truth and help Zhao Li claim compensation from TC Company. Zang Qiu is very grateful to Xu Lai, but she says that the person who should be thanked the most is Jin Shichuan. Zang Qiu then tells Xu Lai about the past. When Fang Huai was burned and rushed to the hospital for rescue, with only his last breath, Zang Qiu wanted to go in and see him one last time, but Jin Shichuan firmly blocked her outside the operating room. Since then, Zang Qiu has resented Jin Shichuan and has been unable to let go of her feelings.

This kind of thing, Zang Qiu cannot be magnanimous, cannot forgive. She knows Jin Shichuan is a good person, but she hopes Xu Lai can consider the responsibilities and consequences of marrying a firefighter. Jin Shichuan went to see Fang Huai's parents, and they understood that Zang Qiu is a decent child, but Fang Huai has been gone for so long, and it's time for Zang Qiu to start a new family. Leaving the nursing home, Jin Shichuan fell into memories. Zang Qiu couldn't let go of Fang Huai's death, and neither could he. When he returned to the fire station, it was raining, and he didn't have an umbrella. Xu Lai held an umbrella to shield him from the rain. Xu Lai threw away the umbrella, freeing her hands to embrace Jin Shichuan. They embraced each other in the rain for a long time.

Jin Shichuan brought her back to the dormitory, gave her clothes and pants to change into, but his pants were too big for Xu Lai to wear. Jin Shichuan immediately pushed her into the dormitory to prevent others from seeing. Xu Lai knew that Jin Shichuan had many wounds in his heart, and she wanted to be by his side. Lu Fangqi learned about Fang Huai's situation from Jin Shichuan and felt sorry for Zang Qiu. He went to find Zang Qiu, and although Zang Qiu still gave him a cold face, Lu Fangqi wouldn't give up. Before going to bed, Jin Shichuan wanted to hear Xu Lai's voice, so he called her. Xu Lai and he discussed the draft, and they talked on the phone all night. When Jin Shichuan heard no sound from her side, he guessed that she had fallen asleep. This feeling of being supported made Xu Lai very happy.

The secretary of TC Corporation's president contacted Xu Lai, saying that Sun Lei wanted to talk to her. Xu Lai went to TC Corporation, where Sun Lei wanted to use money to silence her, but Xu Lai refused and insisted on exposing the truth without being servile. Sun Lei felt something was wrong and planned to investigate Huo Yanzong's intentions at Yun Kai Group, while instructing his secretary to deal with Xu Lai and the victims at the hospital. Sun Lei had gone to investigate, but it was Huo Yanzong who found out from him that some batches of the refrigerators used old parts. Sun Lei's secretary went to the hospital and found Zhao Li's mother, using gentle words to make threats. Zhao Li lay in the hospital bed, unable to speak, but she shouted at the person to get out in frustration.

Huo Yanzong gave Xu Lai some information about TC Corporation, which was a great help to her. Huo Yanzong reminded her that Sun Lei was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, and she must be careful. Zhao Li's mother and Zang Qiu proposed transferring to another hospital, which surprised Zang Qiu. Soon after, Sun Lei's secretary brought people over, and when Zang Qiu tried to stop them, she was pushed down. Lu Fangqi happened to see this and came over to help, driving away those people. Xu Lai received a phone call and immediately rushed to the hospital, and Lu Fangqi also informed Jin Shichuan to come to the hospital. With the persuasion of Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan, Zhao Li's mother gave up the idea of transferring and wholeheartedly trusted Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan, believing they could help her daughter seek justice.

Jin Shichuan accompanied Xu Lai home, and she was shocked to find her house vandalized with paint and the windows broken. She immediately contacted Jin Shichuan, fortunately, he hadn't gone far. After reporting to the police, they discovered that the nearby surveillance cameras had been tampered with, and they couldn't identify who had damaged the doors and windows. Xu Lai believed it must have been done by Sun Lei. Jin Shichuan was worried about her safety living outside, so he took her to his own home. Jin Shichuan had to return to the team, but Xu Lai held onto his clothes, asking him to stay with her. Xu Lai slept in the bedroom but couldn't fall asleep. She got up and chatted with Jin Shichuan, who was also awake, through the window.

Xu Lai was afraid of the dark, so Jin Shichuan lit a candle for her. Xu Lai went back to the bedroom to rest, and Jin Shichuan also went to sleep. She thought Jin Shichuan was asleep and quietly approached him. Jin Shichuan understood her intention and pulled her to lie down. They slept on the floor in the living room, and Xu Lai slept soundly in Jin Shichuan's warm embrace. Unexpectedly, the next day, Grandpa Jin came to clean the house and saw Jin Shichuan sleeping with a girl. Grandpa Jin told him to bring Xu Lai home for dinner tonight, in a tone that brooked no objection. This unexpected meeting with the parents made Xu Lai nervous and anxious. She was afraid that Grandpa Jin would have a negative impression of her. Jin Shichuan had talked about her with Grandpa Jin, and under Xu Lai's questioning, Jin Shichuan admitted to his grandfather that he liked her.

Xu Lai handed the internal information of TC Corporation to Captain Qin for review. Captain Qin showed her the lawyer's letter sent by TC Corporation. He said that the TC Corporation matter was complicated and they needed 100% solid evidence before they could report it. Xu Lai gave a copy of an internal investigation report to Zhou Tingwei and asked him to find a miniature camera for her. She wanted to conduct a secret investigation in the factory. Jiang Xin overheard her conversation with Xiao Zhou and started scheming again. During dinner, Grandpa Jin asked many questions, thinking that they had already progressed in their relationship. He asked when they would get married, and Jin Shichuan nervously said he would take responsibility for Xu Lai. Xu Lai explained that they had only recently met and needed some time to get to know each other better, so they weren't in a rush to get married.

Xu Lai saw a piano in Jin Shichuan's house and played a song. Jin Shichuan recognized her as the little girl who had healed him years ago, and Xu Lai learned that Hu Teacher, who had taught her piano, was Jin Shichuan's mother. It turned out that they had met a long time ago. Jiang Xin learned that Xu Lai was going to secretly investigate the processing plant today and anonymously called Sun Lei to inform him. Jin Shichuan was worried about Xu Lai's safety going alone, so he took a day off to accompany her in the investigation. When Sun Lei showed the listing plan to Huo Yanzong, he received an anonymous call and immediately rushed back to handle it. Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan successfully entered the processing plant and took evidence of expired parts. At the same time, a dozen people trapped them inside the factory.

After a thrilling fight, Jin Shichuan managed to escape the processing plant with Xu Lai, but the door outside was locked, and Xu Lai's phone was dropped during the fight. Huo Yanzong remembered that Sun Lei had mentioned the processing plant during their phone call and he was worried about Xu Lai's safety, so he immediately went to confirm. While the others were still catching up, Jin Shichuan asked Xu Lai to hide and handed her his phone. Jin Shichuan attracted the assailants while he was outnumbered, and with his declining stamina, he was brutally beaten and had a bottle smashed on his head. Xu Lai saw him being attacked and ran out. Sun Lei's henchmen were about to attack her as well. Huo Yanzong arrived with Han Fang and saved them just in time.

Jin Shichuan was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and Xu Lai waited anxiously outside the emergency room, her heart hanging in the balance. After the rescue, Jin Shichuan was safe and would wake up after the anesthesia wore off. She instructed Xu Lai to stay with him in the hospital room. Sun Lei went to Yun Kai Group, and Huo Yanzong beat him up and warned him not to have any more ideas about Xu Lai. Jin Shichuan woke up and saw Xu Lai by his side, with a wound on her forehead. Jin Shichuan blamed himself for not protecting her well. Sun Lei discovered that Jiang Xin was the one who called him, and he called her to propose a deal.

Sun Lei and Jiang Xin made a deal where Sun Lei provided information, and Jiang Xin was responsible for reporting it. Jin Shichuan was hospitalized, and Xu Lai changed her workspace to the hospital, with the approval of Captain Qin. Xu Lai was organizing the materials on TC Corporation for her report. Her strong sense of justice changed Jin Shichuan's old-fashioned impression of reporters. During Jin Shichuan's hospitalization, Ping An, the police dog, wasn't eating or drinking much, and everyone knew that it must be missing Jin Shichuan. Taking advantage of some free time, everyone decided to visit Jin Shichuan at the hospital. Zang Qiu told Jin Shichuan that his leg injury was not as simple as it seemed and further examination was needed. Zang Qiu would help him get a medical certificate from the fire station, and Jin Shichuan was not allowed to go anywhere until the results of the examination came out. After the visiting hours were over, Xu Lai couldn't bear to leave Jin Shichuan, so she sneaked back into the hospital.

The nurse didn't notice her, and Xu Lai slept on the hospital bed embracing Jin Shichuan for the whole night. The next day, Liu Xu and Zhang Yang came to see Jin Shichuan, only to find two pairs of feet sticking out at the end of the bed. When the nurse came to change Jin Shichuan's dressing, Xu Lai hurriedly left, and after Liu Xu and Zhang Yang put down their things, they were about to leave too. However, Jin Shichuan warned them not to tell anyone in the team about what happened just now. Xu Lai finished writing the draft of her report and learned from Xiao Zhou that Jiang Xin also knew about the investigation of TC Corporation. Xu Lai speculated that TC Corporation must have known in advance about her investigation at the processing plant because of Jiang Xin. After she finishes her busy period, she will definitely teach Jiang Xin a lesson. Captain Qin thought Xu Lai's draft was well-written, and Jiang Xin suggested featuring Xu Lai's report as the main theme for the upcoming issue.

While talking to Huo Yanzong on the phone, Xu Lai rushed to the hospital to take care of Jin Shichuan. Huo Yanzong had just arrived at the TV station when he saw Xu Lai getting into a taxi. When Jin Shichuan learned that Xu Lai was coming, he used his crutches to go down and meet her, but he noticed something unusual with his leg and hid. Zang Qiu helped him upstairs, and Jin Shichuan lied to Xu Lai, saying he had just returned from an examination. It was late, and Jin Shichuan urged Xu Lai to go home and rest. Reluctantly, Xu Lai looked back multiple times before leaving. Jin Shichuan's test report came out, and Zang Qiu's expression turned serious after reading it. After Xu Lai left, Zang Qiu told Jin Shichuan about the condition of his leg. His knee joint had suffered external force, resulting in a blunt injury to the popliteal artery and the formation of a vascular tumor, which required immediate surgery.

Zang Qiu promised Jin Shichuan that he would tell Xu Lai about it after the surgery is successful. Jiang Xin played the recording provided by Sun Lei during a meeting, revealing that Huo Yanzong knowingly supported TC Corporation's illegal production. Xu Lai tried to explain on behalf of Huo Yanzong, but she couldn't convince the others. Captain Qin decided that Jiang Xin would be primarily responsible for the upcoming report. After the meeting, Xu Lai confronted Jiang Xin and intentionally left the recording behind. Jiang Xin and other reporters from different media outlets gathered at the entrance of Yun Kai Group to interview Huo Yanzong. Jiang Xin deliberately mentioned Xu Lai, but Huo Yanzong remained unwavering in his stance regarding Xu Lai's issue and responded positively for a few sentences. Han Fang said that he was too impulsive earlier, as it would give ammunition to those who had ill intentions.

Xu Lai called Huo Yanzong, and he assured her that he would handle the recording matter properly. Later, Huo Yanzong met Sun Lei at a club and reached a deal with him. Xu Lai accidentally spilled hot water on Jin Shichuan's injured leg and hurriedly fetched burn ointment. Jin Shichuan realized that his leg had lost sensation. Zang Qiu honestly told him that the worst-case scenario could result in a disability. The reason Huo Yanzong canceled the withdrawal from TC Corporation was because he wanted to seek revenge on Sun Lei and stand up for Xu Lai. To protect Xu Lai, Huo Yanzong arranged a meeting with Yu Shishi to divert the attention of the media. When Yu Shishi learned about this, she was very angry.

To avenge the grudge of being abandoned on the road by Huo Yanzong last time, Yu Shishi drove his car away this time, replicating the same scenario of leaving him on the road. Huo Yanzong was a romantic figure in Xu Lai's eyes, but in Yu Shishi's eyes, he was just a jerk. Xu Lai couldn't reach Jin Shichuan at the hospital, and a worried expression appeared on her face. Her colleagues noticed that something was off with her, and Jiang Xin sarcastically taunted her. Xu Lai fought back. The president of TC Corporation accepted an interview and claimed that Yun Kai Group was unaware of the insider information about the processing plant. Upon seeing the news, Jiang Xin immediately called Sun Lei to question him. Sun Lei didn't care much, as nothing could compare to the investment from Yun Kai Group in his opinion. From Sun Lei's perspective, although Huo Yanzong was a cunning fox, he had a weak spot, and that was Xu Lai.

Xu Lai brought food to the hospital to see Jin Shichuan, and her mother called her. Xu Lai answered the call on speakerphone. Her mother's words became the last straw that broke Jin Shichuan's resolve. He said that he and Xu Lai were not suitable for each other and that they both needed to calm down. Xu Lai was very disappointed in him and went to Asakusa, where she met Han Fang to vent her frustrations. Huo Yanzong met with most of the shareholders of TC Corporation and discussed the matter of transferring ownership. He was leading Sun Lei to a dead end. Han Fang mentioned that there was a conflict between Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan, so Huo Yanzong went to the hospital to talk to Jin Shichuan. Upon learning that Huo Yanzong had not been in a romantic relationship with Yu Shishi, and that he had always loved Xu Lai, Jin Shichuan decided to withdraw. From now on, he would no longer appear in Xu Lai's world.

On his way back, Huo Yanzong asked someone to inquire about Jin Shichuan's condition. Xu Lai sincerely made chicken soup for Jin Shichuan but couldn't see him. Zang Qiu sympathized with Xu Lai and helped her deliver the chicken soup to Jin Shichuan. She believed that Jin Shichuan, like Fang Huai, was arrogant and made decisions without informing Xu Lai of the truth. When Jin Shichuan saw the message on the note left on the chicken soup, he was speechless. Zang Qiu promised to attend the classmates' gathering tonight because Zeng Zihao would be there, and she needed his help with something. Lu Fangqi and Liu Xu took the station's staff to the hospital to visit Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan unusually instructed each of them about something, and these people were all straightforward and didn't think deeply about the deeper meaning behind Jin Shichuan's words.

Lu Fangqi mentioned Xu Lai and said that she was downstairs at the hospital. Lu Fangqi guessed that she had a quarrel with Jin Shichuan and didn't want to inquire about the specific details. Lu Fangqi went to find Zang Qiu and found an address on her desk. He asked a nurse and thought Zang Qiu was going on a blind date, so he followed her. During the classmates' gathering, a classmate intentionally targeted Zang Qiu and brought up the deceased Fang Huai, hurting Zang Qiu's heart. This classmate also sarcastically introduced her to a divorced blind date. Lu Fangqi appeared just in time to resolve the situation for Zang Qiu and turn the tide in her favor in front of everyone. Zang Qiu refuted Yinyin and Xiaoqian, who had just mocked her, and left without eating much.

Lu Fangqi caught up with her, and Zang Qiu finally revealed her other side to him, the side that deeply loved Fang Huai. Lu Fangqi embraced her, knowing that he might never be able to surpass Fang Huai, but he would always protect Zang Qiu. At night, with thunder and lightning, Jin Shichuan thought about Xu Lai waiting for him downstairs at the hospital, so he used his crutches to go down and see her. Xu Lai smiled because she knew Jin Shichuan would appear, as he knew she was most afraid of thunder and lightning. When it reached midnight, Xu Lai held onto Jin Shichuan's clothes, seeking reconciliation, but Jin Shichuan proposed breaking up.

Jin Shichuan broke up with Xu Lai, stating that they were incompatible due to the nature of their work, which would prevent them from taking care of each other. Xu Lai was unwilling and waited in the rain. Unable to bear it, Jin Shichuan called Huo Yanzong. Huo Yanzong immediately drove over and saw the girl he cherished suffering in the rain for another man, which deeply pained him. Overwhelmed with sadness, Xu Lai collapsed in the rain, and Huo Yanzong took her back with him. To punish himself, Jin Shichuan went out in the rain with his crutches, causing him to develop a high fever of 39 degrees. Zang Qiu immediately had a nurse give him an antipyretic injection. Xu Lai wanted some time alone, so she asked Huo Yanzong to go back first, but he sat on the stairs of her house all night.

The next day, Huo Yanzong made plain rice porridge for Xu Lai, who started crying while eating. She couldn't forget Jin Shichuan and still missed him deeply. Zang Qiu angrily reprimanded Jin Shichuan, not allowing him to be so irresponsible, as Jin Shichuan's life was exchanged for Fang Huai's life. Grandpa Jin came to the hospital to visit Jin Shichuan and learned that his leg injury was severe. Grandpa asked about Xu Lai, and Jin Shichuan said that they had broken up, and she was unaware of the seriousness of his leg injury. Jin Shichuan felt that his leg could not be cured, so he didn't want to delay Xu Lai or burden her for the rest of her life. During a meeting at work, Team Leader Qin publicly praised Xu Lai and blamed Jiang Xin for being impulsive. Jiang Xin pretended to say that she would communicate more with Xu Lai, but privately she expressed the belief that Xu Lai's good luck wouldn't last.

After breaking up with Jin Shichuan, Xu Lai threw herself into work completely. Only by keeping herself busy could she avoid thinking about Jin Shichuan. Huo Yanzong went to pick her up after work, and the exhausted Xu Lai fell asleep in the car. Huo Yanzong had just learned about Jin Shichuan's condition today but still hadn't told Xu Lai. The next day, when Xu Lai boarded the bus, she was bumped by someone and fainted on the ground. Xu Lai was taken to the hospital, and Jin Shichuan happened to see her. Inquiring with the nurse, he learned that Xu Lai had fainted due to a cold and exhaustion. Jin Shichuan sat beside her, holding her hand for a long time. When Xu Lai woke up, Jin Shichuan was no longer there, but she still felt the warmth of his hand. On her way back home, she felt like someone was following her but couldn't see anyone when she turned around.

Afterward, Xu Lai increasingly felt that something was off. There must be something wrong with Jin Shichuan's leg. She called Zang Qiu, who had just finished work, and the two agreed to meet at a bar to dance. Xu Lai drank a lot of alcohol and vented her frustrations to Zang Qiu. She had thought that drinking would make her forget everything about Jin Shichuan, but it only made her miss him more. Zang Qiu escorted the drunk Xu Lai back to Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai mumbled, asking Jin Shichuan not to push her away. Drunk Xu Lai was quite adorable, clinging onto Jin Shichuan and refusing to let go, like a sticky spirit. Jin Shichuan felt helpless and heartbroken as he held her and slept with her throughout the night.

The next day, when Xu Lai woke up, she suddenly realized that she had taken over Jin Shichuan's hospital bed. Once she regained her consciousness, she immediately jumped off the bed. Jin Shichuan asked her to recall the foolish things she did while drunk the day before, and Xu Lai felt extremely embarrassed. She quickly explained that she came to get her thermos and asked Jin Shichuan for the note she had stuck to it. Jin Shichuan acted as if he hadn't seen the note, and Xu Lai didn't pursue the matter further. Before leaving, Xu Lai told Jin Shichuan that since they had broken up, he should consider her visit last night as if she hadn't been there. After saying that, Xu Lai left, and Jin Shichuan remained silent.

Xu Lai's note was placed in Jin Shichuan's pocket and carried with him. Classmate Zeng Zihao brought the surgical plan that his father had prepared for Jin Shichuan. Zeng's father is a specialist in neurological treatment, and he promised to personally perform the surgery. He could tell that Zang Qiu attended the class reunion for this matter, indicating that this patient was important to her. Zang Qiu gave the surgical plan to Jin Shichuan and began preparing for the operation. Sun Lei learned that Huo Yanzong was the buyer behind the scenes of the company's equity and confronted him. Huo Yanzong had evidence of Sun Lei's crime, which made Sun Lei furious, and he became vengeful and insane. Xu Lai went to the fire station to see Ping An and accidentally heard Liu Xu say that Jin Shichuan's leg injury was severe. She contacted Zang Qiu, and the two agreed to meet the next day.

That night, Xu Lai was stunned and taken away by Sun Lei's men. Ping An had a premonition and managed to escape from captivity. When Xu Lai woke up, Sun Lei called Huo Yanzong, who learned that Xu Lai had been kidnapped. Huo Yanzong was extremely worried. In the morning, Lu Fangqi fed the dog and found that Ping An was missing. Xu Lai used the distress function on her phone to send a distress message to Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan sensed that something was wrong. Lu Fangqi called him and said that Xu Lai's call was initially unanswered and now her phone was switched off. Jin Shichuan could confirm that something must have happened to Xu Lai. Huo Yanzong rushed to the address provided by Sun Lei and was beaten by Sun Lei and his subordinates. Sun Lei strapped a bomb to Xu Lai, and once the countdown started, she would die if the bomb wasn't dismantled in time.

Huo Yanzong knelt in front of Sun Lei, and Sun Lei's men severely beat Huo Yanzong. Sun Lei had completely lost his sanity by now and wanted to drag Huo Yanzong and Xu Lai to hell. In front of Huo Yanzong, he pressed the timer switch. Ping An followed the scent and found Xu Lai. Just as Sun Lei was about to kill Huo Yanzong, Jin Shichuan arrived in time and saved him. After knocking out Sun Lei's men, Huo Yanzong held off Sun Lei, while Jin Shichuan and Ping An found the trapped Xu Lai. Despite his own leg injury, Jin Shichuan climbed up to rescue Xu Lai. With the bomb's timer ticking down, Jin Shichuan smashed a bottle and cut the rope off Xu Lai's body. In the final moments of the countdown, Xu Lai finally gained her freedom and jumped off the building together with Jin Shichuan.

The police arrived and arrested Sun Lei. Jin Shichuan remained unconscious and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Xu Lai learned that Jin Shichuan had developed a popliteal artery aneurysm, which was why he wanted to break up with her. Jin Shichuan agreed to undergo leg surgery, even if there was only a one in a million chance, because he was willing to try for Xu Lai. Xu Lai took leave from work and presented the recorded evidence to the team leader, Wen Qingguo, proving Jiang Xin's connection with Sun Lei. Director Lü called Jiang Xin and reprimanded her, suspending her from her position and asking her to reflect on her actions. Jiang Xin was warned that if she dared to harm anyone around Xu Lai again, Xu Lai wouldn't let her off. Jin Shichuan woke up, and the nurse reminded him to change his bandages. Since Xu Lai was considered his wife, the nurse naturally assigned the task of changing the bandages to her.

Xu Lai felt embarrassed but still pulled down Jin Shichuan's pants, which happened to be seen by Liu Xu and Lu Fangqi. Xu Lai left the room first, and Jin Shichuan repeatedly explained that they were just changing the bandages, but Lu Fangqi couldn't help but want to laugh. Huo Yanzong also stayed in the hospital, and Xu Lai was unaware of his injury, nor did Huo Yanzong mention it. He could tell that Jin Shichuan truly loved Xu Lai. Xu Lai learned from Jin Shichuan that Huo Yanzong was injured, and just as she was about to make a phone call, she saw Han Fang and asked him to take her to Huo Yanzong's ward.

Xu Lai went to see Huo Yanzong and felt guilty when she saw that he was injured while trying to save her. Huo Yanzong learned that she hadn't reconciled with Jin Shichuan yet, but she already knew the reason why Jin Shichuan wanted to break up with her. Xu Lai took Jin Shichuan back to the kindergarten, and the piano was still there. Xu Lai wanted to evoke Jin Shichuan's feelings for her through childhood memories. Jin Shichuan initially planned to wait until his leg was better to face their relationship, but he couldn't resist Xu Lai, so they reconciled. That night, Xu Lai slept peacefully. Afterward, Xu Lai often visited Jin Shichuan at the hospital in her free time. Jin Shichuan no longer needed crutches and took a few steps forward. He could finally walk independently again, and Xu Lai couldn't help but rush over and hug him.

Huo Yanzong received a call from Xu Lai's mother and passed on the message for Xu Lai to come home. Xu Lai didn't want to go home because her parents were still together despite their divorce and always arguing. Huo Yanzong accompanied her home. Xu Lai's parents wanted to matchmake Huo Yanzong and Xu Lai, but they didn't expect Xu Lai to say that Huo Yanzong already had a girlfriend, the celebrity Yu Shishi. Upon hearing this, Xu's mother felt regretful. Huo Yanzong admitted that he liked Xu Lai, but she didn't feel the same way. Xu's mother blamed Xu Lai for being too picky, but Xu Lai remained silent. Huo Yanzong tried to mediate by saying that friendship lasts longer than love. Xu's father said a few words that Xu's mother couldn't tolerate, and they started arguing again. Frustrated, Xu Lai put down her chopsticks and left directly. Huo Yanzong told Xu Lai's parents that he would accompany her back home and left as well.

Huo Yanzong asked Xu Lai why she didn't tell her parents about Jin Shichuan's existence, and Xu Lai wanted to wait until Jin Shichuan's leg was fully healed. Besides, her mother always wanted her to find someone with a regular 9-to-5 job and fixed weekends off, which Jin Shichuan definitely didn't fit. Huo Yanzong offered to take Xu Lai home, but she politely refused because she wanted to go to the hospital to see Jin Shichuan. That night, Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan squeezed onto one hospital bed and fell asleep haphazardly. When Xu Lai opened her eyes, she saw Jin Shichuan gazing at her affectionately, and her heart started racing. Jin Shichuan tied her hair, and their interactions were sweet. Zang Qiu came to check on the patients but decided not to disturb them. Lu Fangqi came to deliver wounded soldiers and took the opportunity to see Jin Shichuan, but more importantly, he wanted to meet Zang Qiu.

Lu Fangqi saw a photo on Zang Qiu's desk, a picture of Zang Qiu and the late Fang Huai. Zang Qiu was holding daisies in her hand and smiling happily. Upon hearing that a former patient was waiting for her in the backyard, Zang Qiu went to see and found out that it was Lu Fangqi. Lu Fangqi was wearing a military uniform, and his back reminded Zang Qiu of Fang Huai. Lu Fangqi held a bouquet of daisies, but Zang Qiu still rejected him. As Zang Qiu turned to leave, she heard a thud behind her—it was Lu Fangqi fainting. Lu Fangqi was severely allergic to pollen, so Zang Qiu immediately performed artificial respiration and gave him emergency treatment. When Lu Fangqi regained consciousness, he didn't show any signs of fear from just having come back from the brink of death; he was immersed in the excitement of Zang Qiu performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Zang Qiu called Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan to her office to congratulate Jin Shichuan on his recovery and reminded him to come back for regular check-ups. Xu Lai hugged Jin Shichuan excitedly. Jin Shichuan privately talked to Zang Qiu about Fang Huai's past and hoped that Zang Qiu could move on from the pain. Jin Shichuan returned to the station and took a day off with the political commissar to go on a date with Xu Lai. Jin Shichuan messaged Xu Lai after returning to the station, addressing her as his leader, and ended with a sweet pouting kiss, much to the delight of the onlookers at the entrance. Jin Shichuan announced that he and Xu Lai were in a romantic relationship, and they now referred to Xu Lai as "sister-in-law."

Xu Lai told Han Fang that she had reconciled with Jin Shichuan and that he referred to her as his family, and they would never separate again. Huo Yanzong was on the second floor and overheard every word Xu Lai said as if he had suffered a great loss. Han Fang wanted to console him, but Huo Yanzong just wanted to be alone. In the following days, Huo Yanzong didn't go to work at Cloud Open, which worried Han Fang. He informed Xu Lai about it. Xu Lai wanted to inform Jin Shichuan, but he was on a mission, so she went to Huo Yanzong's house alone to find him. Han Fang called Yu Shishi and coincidentally saw Huo Yanzong at the same bar. At first, she didn't want to intervene, but seeing Huo Yanzong's drunken and sorrowful appearance, she couldn't help but soften her heart and drove him home.

Huo Yanzong saw Xu Lai at the entrance of his house and instinctively pulled Yu Shishi in for a kiss. Xu Lai saw it and felt relieved. She quietly left. On the other hand, Yu Shishi was greatly moved by Huo Yanzong's action. She was about to raise her hand to hug him, but Huo Yanzong had already let go. A slap followed by a sweet date described Yu Shishi's current state the best, but she didn't think much of it. She believed that Huo Yanzong had developed feelings for her and was waiting for her to take the initiative to find him. Jin Shichuan deliberately dressed neatly to meet Xu Lai. They spent some tender moments downstairs before Xu Lai asked him to go home and rest. Watching Jin Shichuan disappear, Xu Lai felt the night was exceptionally gentle, and she melted into the tender night.

Yu Shishi waited for a few days, but Huo Yanzong didn't contact her. She felt that he was playing hard to get and waiting for her to take the initiative to find him. She rushed to Cloud Open Corporation but discovered that Huo Yanzong had only used her that night, but he didn't reveal how he used her specifically. Yu Shishi confronted Han Fang, pressuring him to tell her the reason behind Huo Yanzong's fake relationship with her, and she realized that Huo Yanzong was a complete jerk. Huo Yanzong contacted Xu Lai and proposed to have a meal together. She brought Jin Shichuan along, and he brought Yu Shishi. However, instead of apologizing, Huo Yanzong casually invited Yu Shishi to dinner as if nothing had happened. Yu Shishi thought about refusing, but then thought that she could use this opportunity to make Huo Yanzong understand that she was the main character.

During the meal, Yu Shishi appeared stunning in a blue dress, looking beautiful. If you're going to act, you need to go all the way. Yu Shishi said that Huo Yanzong had bought her this dress, and Xu Lai genuinely felt happy for Huo Yanzong, thinking that their relationship was going well. But the dinner felt like a battlefield, with Huo Yanzong constantly opposing Jin Shichuan. Yu Shishi took the opportunity to take Xu Lai to the restroom, leaving Huo Yanzong and Jin Shichuan alone to talk. In the restroom, Yu Shishi told Xu Lai that her relationship with Huo Yanzong was a fake one, just to put her mind at ease so that Huo Yanzong could legitimately stay by Xu Lai's side. Xu Lai realized that Jin Shichuan also knew about this, and she was the only one kept in the dark. Xu Lai was angry.

Huo Yanzong chased after Yu Shishi and questioned her about what she told Xu Lai. Yu Shishi admitted that she had told Xu Lai the truth because she didn't want to see him act like a fool anymore. Xu Lai went home and blocked him. Jin Shichuan didn't know what to do and went to seek help from Lu Fangqi at the station. Lu Fangqi informed everyone about the situation, and they all brainstormed ideas to help Jin. However, their suggestions were all terrible. The next day, Jin Shichuan took a few people and boarded a bus with Xu Lai. However, Xu Lai recognized the masked individuals as their colleagues at the station, so she asked them to get off at the next stop.

The task failed, and Jin Shichuan made everyone run back to the team. Xu Lai focused all her energy on work and helped Xiao Zhou complete a quarter's worth of work organization. Jin Shichuan came up with an idea to tie balloons to Ping An and have him carry a letter of apology in his mouth, written to Xu Lai. After reading the letter, Xu Lai's anger subsided, and she messaged Jin Shichuan, asking him to bring Ping An back and feed him well, forbidding any more mischief with Ping An. Xu Lai added Jin Shichuan back on WeChat, and Jin Shichuan was very happy, finally achieving a temporary victory.

Zang Qiu was coming to the station tomorrow for first aid training. Lu Fangqi looked at the promotional brochure with Zang Qiu's picture and went to iron his clothes, wanting to present himself in the best possible way to Zang Qiu. Lu Fangqi even prepared xiaolongbao specifically for Zang Qiu, but Zang Qiu didn't eat it and gave it to the girl who came with her. Zang Qiu taught everyone first aid knowledge, and Lu Fangqi thought Zang Qiu would personally demonstrate CPR, so he volunteered to play the role of an injured person. Unexpectedly, Zang Qiu didn't demonstrate it herself but asked Liu Xu to do it, and in the end, it was Liu Xu and Lu Fangqi doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But this didn't dampen Lu Fangqi's enthusiasm; he followed Zang Qiu to a bar and saw a different side of her. He protected Zang Qiu from other men's advances, and Zang Qiu found his jealous look quite cute. With the right atmosphere, Zang Qiu couldn't resist and kissed Lu Fangqi, but then she ran to the restroom to calm down.

Lu Fangqi followed her, but Zang Qiu changed her attitude and emphasized that they were not from the same world. Although Xu Lai added Jin Shichuan back on WeChat, she didn't respond to his messages much. Jin Shichuan became the one taking the initiative, and Lu Fangqi teased him, and Jin Shichuan didn't hesitate to counterattack. Jin Shichuan came up with another idea, dressing up in a cute bear costume and dancing for Xu Lai to make her happy. Xu Lai smiled happily. Later, she begged the security guard for a long time to obtain the video of Jin Shichuan dancing. She showed the video to Han Fang, who didn't expect Jin Shichuan to be such a romantic person. Huo Yanzong wasn't in a good state recently, and Han Fang asked Xu Lai if she wanted to go and check on him, but Xu Lai thought it was best to keep her distance from Huo Yanzong.

At the launch event of the new building project at Cloud Open Corporation, Yu Shishi showed up uninvited. Huo Yanzong took her aside to talk. Yu Shishi expressed her intention to continue their fake relationship, and if Huo Yanzong disagreed, she threatened to expose his secret to the media. Huo Yanzong was forced to continue acting with Yu Shishi, and this time, Yu Shishi was serious about it too. Jin Shichuan arranged to meet Xu Lai after work. On her way to the restaurant, Xu Lai heard news of a fire at an abandoned building. Unable to reach Jin Shichuan, she immediately ran to the scene of the fire. A firefighter at the scene mentioned that firefighters from their station had also arrived, but one of them was injured and had just been taken away in an ambulance. Xu Lai didn't know if the injured person was Jin Shichuan, and her heart was in constant suspense.

When she saw Jin Shichuan coming down the stairs, she couldn't help but run over and hug him. In front of everyone, they kissed, finally reconciling completely. Reminded by Liu Xu, Lu Fangqi went to find Zang Qiu again and took her to a bar to relax. Their relationship progressed further, but Zang Qiu stubbornly refused to admit any feelings for Lu Fangqi. Jin Shichuan was invited to give a lecture at a school, and Xu Lai received the task of reporting on the lecture, so she sat in the audience, listening and taking photos. The female classmates couldn't resist Jin Shichuan's handsome appearance and raised their hands to ask if he had a girlfriend. Jin Shichuan said he didn't but that he had a family member sitting in the audience, and everyone requested that this family member of Jin Shichuan's come up on stage.

Jin Shichuan introduced Xu Lai's identity to the students present and referred to her as his hero who saved him. Xu Lai felt a little shy and didn't understand why he had called her on stage earlier. Jin Shichuan expressed his intention to let the whole world know that he already had a family member. That evening, they had hotpot at Xu Lai's house. Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan playfully chased each other around the house, and Jin Shichuan pinned her down on the sofa. Unexpectedly, Xu Lai's parents, who had come to visit, witnessed the scene. Jin Shichuan's identity was forced to be revealed in this awkward situation. Learning that Jin Shichuan was the station chief of the fire department and that his job was dangerous, Xu Lai's mother didn't look pleased. Jin Shichuan didn't stay long, using the excuse of having work at the station, he quickly left Xu Lai's home, wearing his uniform.

Xu Lai was very dissatisfied with her mother's attitude towards Jin Shichuan. Xu's mother declared that Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan were not suitable for each other because his job was too dangerous, and she disagreed with her daughter being with him. Xu Lai spoke up for Jin Shichuan, and Xu's father intervened to ease the tense atmosphere between mother and daughter. He suggested inviting Jin Shichuan to their house for a meal. Jin Shichuan returned to the fire station, where Lu Fangqi was eating instant noodles. When Lu Fangqi learned that Jin Shichuan hadn't eaten dinner after returning from Xu Lai's house, he suddenly felt superior. Xu Lai called Jin Shichuan to explain the plan of having dinner at her home at 6 p.m. Jin Shichuan quickly agreed and took some of his colleagues from the station to the supermarket. It was his first visit to Xu Lai's home, so he definitely couldn't go empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, the political commissar called Jin Shichuan and asked him to attend an emergency meeting. The meeting lasted until late in the evening, and Xu's mother was very angry. She demanded that Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan break up, otherwise, she wouldn't recognize Xu Lai as her daughter anymore. Xu Lai argued with her mother, left with red eyes, and didn't eat anything. When the meeting ended, Jin Shichuan hurriedly left. From Lu Fangqi, the political commissar learned that Jin Shichuan was supposed to have dinner at Xu Lai's parents' house today, but the meeting delayed him. Xu's mother already didn't approve of Jin Shichuan being with Xu Lai, and now her impression of him would be even worse. Jin Shichuan immediately called Xu Lai when he came out and heard her hoarse voice. He quickly drove to the location she had sent him.

Jin Shichuan embraced Xu Lai and comforted her. To her surprise, she felt relieved that he hadn't come today, otherwise her mother would have embarrassed him for sure. The next day, Jin Shichuan carried something in his hands and went to Xu Lai's parents' house to apologize. Xu's mother refused to see him, but Jin Shichuan stood at their doorstep for the whole morning. With Xu's father's persuasion, Xu's mother took a step back and asked Xu's father to tell Jin Shichuan that she wouldn't see him today. Knowing her personality, Xu's father knew she was stubborn and decided to open the door to let Jin Shichuan go back first. Later, Xu's father went alone to the fire station and watched Jin Shichuan training. He coincidentally met the political commissar there. The political commissar spoke highly of Jin Shichuan, and Xu's father learned that Jin Shichuan had disregarded his injured leg and risked his life to save Xu Lai when she was kidnapped.

Back at home, Xu's father tried to reason with Xu's mother, but she not only refused to listen but also became more aggressive in her tone, which made Xu's father angry, and he slammed the door and left. Lu Fangqi took Liu Xu's advice on pursuing a girl, but Zang Qiu didn't buy into it. Xu's father didn't return home all night, and Xu Lai received a call from her mother, so she hurriedly went back to the rented house and found her father sitting on the stairs. Xu's mother quickly arrived and blamed Jin Shichuan for taking away their daughter and now their father. Xu Lai let her parents stay in the rented house and moved into Jin Shichuan's home. Understanding her mother's personality, she decided to change her strategy and be proactive. Huo Yanzong wanted to meet Xu Lai but saw her being affectionate with Jin Shichuan, so he locked himself in his house and started drinking heavily. Yu Shishi came to look for him.

Yu Shishi took Huo Yanzong out and brought him for a facial treatment. Huo Yanzong, who hadn't slept all night, quickly fell asleep. Yu Shishi instructed the staff not to wake him up and had them do a soothing treatment for him. Although Yu Shishi had work today and had rushed out from the set, her manager was probably going crazy by now. When Huo Yanzong woke up, he saw that Yu Shishi had applied a band-aid to the wound on his hand. He was touched but ended up saying many hurtful things to Yu Shishi. Yu Shishi was completely hurt by his words and left crying. Huo Yanzong watched her walk away and thought to himself that Yu Shishi hated herself, but it was better than loving herself.

Mother Lin Quan called Xu Lai, but Xu Lai didn't answer. Jin Shichuan persuaded Xu Lai, and she decided to go home and reconcile with her mother. Lin Quan was furious, but Xu Lai managed to keep her emotions in check and firmly expressed her commitment to Jin Shichuan. Lin Quan couldn't understand why she insisted on being with Jin Shichuan. Without thinking, Xu Lai blurted out that Jin Shichuan had saved her in Huining ten years ago. It was then that the elderly couple learned that when they divorced ten years ago, Xu Lai had run away to Huining for some peace of mind. However, she ended up encountering an earthquake and was trapped in the ruins for a day and a night. It was Jin Shichuan who saved her. Lin Quan cried uncontrollably as she looked at a family photo. She had always done things for the sake of her daughter, but in doing so, she had been hurting her. Xu Chengyun also told Lin Quan that he had visited the fire station and learned that Jin Shichuan had saved Xu Lai twice before.

Xu Lai talked to Jin Shichuan through the iron fence, informing him that her mission had failed. She had argued with her mother after only a few words and now regretted it. Sometimes, Xu Lai couldn't understand why people always vent their worst emotions on the closest ones. Jin Shichuan said that perhaps it was because the closest ones had no reservations. Xu Lai should communicate more with Lin Quan. Jin Shichuan asked about her parents' situation, and Jin's grandfather learned that Xu Lai's mother opposed Jin Shichuan's relationship with Xu Lai. He decided to personally intervene for his grandson. The next day, Grandpa Jin visited Xu Lai's parents. As a retired military man and with Jin Shichuan's father being a firefighter, Grandpa Jin's perspective on the profession had gradually changed due to Jin Shichuan. He pleaded with Xu Lai's parents to give Jin Shichuan a chance.

Jin Shichuan and everyone were playing basketball when Xu Lai told him that her mother's attitude had changed after Grandpa's visit, and in a couple of days, he would be invited to their house. That day, Xu Lai brought Jin Shichuan home, and he was very nervous about meeting her parents again. Fortunately, with the support of Xu Chengyun and Xu Lai, Jin Shichuan had an opportunity to present himself in front of Lin Quan. Lin Quan softened her stance and allowed Jin Shichuan to have dinner. This time, Lin Quan had agreed to Xu Lai being in a relationship with Jin Shichuan, but she still had some reservations and wanted to continue observing Jin Shichuan. After dinner, Xu Lai's parents went back home, and Jin Shichuan accompanied Xu Lai to pack her things. Jin Shichuan's home was like a safe haven for Xu Lai, where she could always find comfort whenever something happened.

The house was empty, so Xu Lai printed many photos she had taken of Jin Shichuan and hung them on the wall. Jin Shichuan took a picture of her with the photo wall behind, and the last photo was a picture of them together. Jin Shichuan kissed Xu Lai's cheek. At work, Xu Lai maintained a polite and distant demeanor towards him. Soon, Team Leader Qin was going to take a position in the provincial TV station, leaving his position vacant. He recommended Xu Lai as his successor to the higher-ups. During this evaluation period, Xu Lai didn't aim to stand out but hoped not to make any mistakes. Meanwhile, the list of interns being promoted was also about to be announced. Lu Fangqi sent a voice message to Zang Qiu, which was overheard by Jin Shichuan.

Zang Qiu replied to Lu Fangqi's message, and Lu Fangqi then invited her to have dinner together tonight, but Zang Qiu did not reply again. Lu Fangqi was fine in the afternoon but started to look troubled in the evening. He asked Jin Shichuan about Fang Huai, and Jin Shichuan described Fang Huai as the rising sun in the morning, warming the people around him. Lu Fangqi and Fang Huai had similarities, but Lu Fangqi was more like the sun after the rain. The alarm sounded, indicating another disaster, and Jin Shichuan immediately led the firefighters to the scene for rescue. Xu Lai was reporting on-site and interviewed Wang Yi, the director of Nanxiang Nursing Home. She learned that there was only one elderly lady, Zheng, who was seriously injured at the scene, and there were limited caregivers, so some of the elderly were neglected. The director suspected that Zheng might have attempted suicide, which led to the fire.

Xu Lai went to ask Jin Shichuan about it, but Jin Shichuan couldn't give her an accurate answer for the time being. They needed to wait for the fire investigation department to conduct an on-site survey and find the point of origin before analyzing the spread of the fire. Jin Shichuan saved Zheng, and he said that the old lady had a strong will to survive and didn't seem like someone who wanted to commit suicide. Xu Lai felt that there was more to it and worth further investigation. Back at the station, Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai analyzed together. They discovered that Wang Yi had possibly conducted unauthorized expansion to increase the capacity of the nursing home. Based on Grandma Gao's reaction earlier and Wang Yi's attitude towards Zheng, Xu Lai had a feeling that Wang Yi was using Zheng's suicide as an excuse to cover up the fire caused by aging electrical wires in the nursing home.

Jin Shichuan reminded her that it was all speculation and they needed to wait for the fire investigation department's report. However, Zheng couldn't wait for the report. She was lying in the hospital, ignored by her family, and the treatment costs were covered by the hospital's donations, which were far from enough. The hospital could only provide conservative treatment for her. The nursing home also refused to compensate Zheng because the investigation results were not yet available. Xu Lai worked overtime to write the article, and Xiao Zhou praised her for writing it well, believing that it would definitely guide public opinion if published. Xu Lai solemnly reminded Xiao Zhou that the purpose of news was to report the truth, not to manipulate public opinion. After Xu Lai left, Xiao Zhou secretly accessed her computer, modified the content of the report, and sent it to other self-media platforms.

Xu Lai went to see Wang Yi again, showing him the evidence and photos from the investigation. Wang Yi agreed to release a statement from the nursing home and visit Zheng in the hospital, but he needed to settle his wife first. Jin Shichuan and Lu Fangqi promptly delivered the fire investigation report to Xu Lai. Her speculation was correct—the nursing home was primarily responsible for the fire. Xu Lai returned to the TV station, and Team Leader Qin angrily questioned her why she had sent an unverified report to other self-media platforms. With the guidance of the media's public opinion, netizens condemned Wang Yi and the nursing home, labeling him as a murderer and launching an online witch hunt against him. Wang Yi collapsed and attempted suicide by jumping off a building. His wife, seven months pregnant, gave premature birth, and the blame turned towards Xu Lai. As a result, she was suspended from her job.

Although Wang Yi was resuscitated after jumping off the building, his organs suffered damage and he was still in critical condition. His wife's premature baby couldn't leave the incubator yet. Xu Lai felt lost and was blamed by the elderly residents of the nursing home and Grandpa Jin. Jin Shichuan protected her and took her back to their rental place, only to find white banners filled with accusations and insults surrounding it. Xu Lai locked herself in the bathroom and let the water run, but Jin Shichuan carried her out. The pain was only temporary, and Xu Lai wouldn't be easily defeated. She worked tirelessly for the reconstruction of the nursing home. Jin Shichuan brought her good news that the government had started rebuilding Nanxiang Nursing Home. Lu Fangqi learned cooking from Zhang Yang and pursued Zang Qiu sincerely. Zang Qiu went to Fang Huai's grave and spoke many heartfelt words before receiving a phone call.

Lu Fangqi tricked Zang Qiu into thinking that he was injured. Zang Qiu hurriedly rushed over, only to realize that she had been deceived. Zang Qiu despised people who made jokes about life and angrily told them that they had no future. Lu Fangqi didn't expect that his small joke would make her so angry. Later, Lu Fangqi learned from Jin Shichuan that it was Fang Huai's memorial day, which explained why she was so upset. Lu Fangqi went to talk to Jin Shichuan and was awakened by his words, reigniting his confidence in pursuing Zang Qiu. Xu Lai decided to return to work, and although Jin Shichuan still had some concerns, he still escorted her to the television station. Jiang Xin saw Xu Lai and sarcastically mentioned how easily she could be betrayed by the people around her with just a little temptation. Xu Lai knew that the article was published by Zhou Tingwei without authorization.

She confronted Zhou Tingwei but was surprised when he blamed her for persisting in seeking the truth. Xu Lai became very confused. The beliefs she had always upheld and the career she loved suddenly collapsed. She submitted her resignation letter to her team leader, but the team leader saved it for her, asking her to reconsider. Xu Lai didn't tell anyone, including Jin Shichuan, and took the bus alone to Huining City, returning to the initial place to search for the meaning of that beam of light. Jin Shichuan couldn't contact Xu Lai and was extremely anxious. Huo Yanzong and Han Fang were equally anxious and found out that Xu Lai had taken a bus to Huining. However, Jin Shichuan was the first to find Xu Lai. If he hadn't accidentally seen the photo on the wall, he wouldn't have thought of looking for her in Huining.

Jin Shichuan followed in Xu Lai's footsteps and embraced her on the rooftop terrace. It was pouring rain at that moment, and Jin Shichuan held her in his arms as Xu Lai cried. Just then, an earthquake struck Huining City. Jin Shichuan protected Xu Lai and helped her down the building, and they both remained safe. Jin Shichuan had to go to the command center to join the local rescue team. After the earthquake that occurred ten years ago in Huining, the buildings here had been reinforced, so the damage wasn't significant, but the surrounding counties might not be as fortunate. Jin Shichuan wanted Xu Lai to go back to Huaigang with Lu Fangqi, but Xu Lai refused. Jin Shichuan persuaded her softly, and Xu Lai reluctantly agreed. Liu Xu, Zhang Yang, and others prepared to depart to the detachment's assembly point. Before leaving, Lu Fangqi went to the hospital and left a diary for Zang Qiu.

After reading it, Zang Qiu was deeply moved and ran out to tell Lu Fangqi that she would wait for his return. Xu Lai didn't return to Huaigang. She decided to stay in Huining and volunteered. Upon learning that a journalist was injured and couldn't report, Xu Lai said she could do it. After seeing Xu Lai's press pass, they agreed to let her give it a try. Xu Lai quickly entered the news field, and Huo Yanzong was on his way to Mofang Town, determined not to let Xu Lai be alone this time. The Huaigang TV station wanted to send a reporter to the earthquake scene for coverage. Jiang Xin volunteered herself, but Qin Ye promptly refused. He already had a suitable candidate in mind, and it was Xu Lai. Jiang Xin was unhappy with Qin Ye's decision, but she believed that Qin Ye wouldn't stay here for long, and eventually, that team leader position would be hers.

Qin Ye saw Xu Lai's news and contacted her, advising her to consider doing frontline reporting in Huining. Under his persuasion, Xu Lai decided to think it over. Jin Shichuan called Xu Lai and learned about her doubts. Jin Shichuan told her that the only thing she could do was to follow her heart. That evening, Xu Lai called Qin Ye and decided to accept the task of frontline reporting. Qin Ye told her that Zheng's son had already brought her back home, and Wang Yi was also recovering.

Nearby schools had students trapped, and Jin Shichuan led the rescue team to rescue the trapped students. Xu Lai, as a special correspondent, followed Jin Shichuan's team to the front line for reporting. Another aftershock occurred that evening, and Lu Fangqi was injured during the search and rescue process and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Lu Fangqi's cactus, which he gave to Zang Qiu, fell and broke, which made Zang Qiu feel ominous. The hospital held an emergency meeting and decided to dispatch experienced surgeons to support due to severe shortage of medical resources in Huining. Zang Qiu was the first to sign up. This time, she didn't want to wait for Lu Fangqi. She wanted to stand firmly with him. The non-stop search and rescue work made the search dogs exhausted. Xu Lai, as a dog trainer, took the initiative to take care of the search dogs.

Zang Qiu saw the injured Lu Fangqi and spoke her mind to him while he was unconscious. The next day, when Lu Fangqi woke up, he thought it was just a dream, but when he saw Zang Qiu's pen on the bedside, he confirmed that it wasn't a dream. He ran to Zang Qiu and exchanged a few words before being called by Zhang Yang. In the car, Liu Xu teased Lu Fangqi, saying that everyone else going to the medical point had a worried look, but Lu Fangqi was the only one with a happy face. Xu Lai saw the wound on Jin Shichuan's hand and couldn't help but tear up. Jin Shichuan, tired from the day, fell asleep on Xu Lai's shoulder. Huo Yanzong arrived at Mofang Town in a seismic relief vehicle, but the road ahead was blocked, so he had to get off and walk. Surprisingly, he saw Yu Shishi wearing a volunteer uniform here.

A program was looking for Yu Shishi for a love interview, and Yu Shishi went to find Huo Yanzong but learned from Han Fang that Huo Yanzong had gone to Huining to find Xu Lai. Yu Shishi was aware of the earthquake in Huining, but she didn't expect Huo Yanzong to go to the earthquake scene for Xu Lai. But she deeply loved Huo Yanzong, so she came here as a volunteer. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have not really understood Yu Shishi before. Huo Yanzong insisted on going to the epicenter to find Xu Lai, and Yu Shishi followed him like a piece of chewing gum. They encountered an aftershock on the way, and Yu Shishi was injured in the head. Huo Yanzong took her to the hospital, and the sky grew darker, with rain falling. Huo Yanzong carried the injured Yu Shishi on his back, walking on the dark road, and finally encountered a rescue vehicle.

The rescue vehicle took Huo Yanzong and Yu Shishi to the medical point. Jin Shichuan knew that these two rescuers were members of Jin Shichuan's team, so he followed them to find Xu Lai. Yu Shishi woke up and learned from the nurse that Huo Yanzong hadn't come to the medical point. She knew that Huo Yanzong must have gone to find Xu Lai. Yu Shishi was heartbroken and shed tears, completely giving up on the deceived Huo Yanzong. Huo Yanzong cared about Yu Shishi's condition, but he also had to settle things with Xu Lai. There was a second collapse in Lianhua Village, and the number of trapped people was unknown. Jin Shichuan led the rescue team to search and rescue and found a person suspected of being trapped under the rubble. The scene could collapse at any moment. Jin Shichuan couldn't wait for the excavator to arrive, so he went down to rescue the person with Zhang Yang.

The person who was trapped was not in a clear state of mind and thought Jin Shichuan was there to capture him. He struggled desperately, causing the collapse of the scene. The person who was trapped escaped, but Jin Shichuan was trapped under the rubble. The people outside lost contact with Jin Shichuan and Zhang Yang. Lu Fangqi immediately sent people to find reinforcements and search dogs. Meanwhile, Huo Yanzong, limping, found Xu Lai. Xu Lai was surprised to see him appearing here.

Huo Yanzong wanted to take Xu Lai away from this place, but she refused. Huo Yanzong thought she was doing it for Jin Shichuan. Xu Lai didn't expect to be seen that way by him. She was a journalist, and reporting on the front line was her job. She stayed here not only for Jin Shichuan. Liu Xu's anxious appearance made Xu Lai feel uneasy. She learned that Jin Shichuan was trapped under the ruins and insisted on going to rescue him. They found Zhang Yang, who had been rescued by everyone's joint efforts. Zhang Yang weakly said that Jin Shichuan asked him to wait on top while he went down alone. Whether Jin Shichuan was alive or dead was still unknown, and Xu Lai couldn't help but burst into tears. She was terrified of losing Jin Shichuan.

The rescue team continued their search and rescue efforts. Xu Lai dug with her bare hands, and despite Liu Xu's persuasion, she insisted on digging. The search operation lasted from the dark night until morning. Due to the severe situation in Lianhua Village and the risk of aftershocks, the command center issued an urgent evacuation signal. Lu Fangqi requested to wait until they found Jin Shichuan before evacuating, but the command center ordered them to obey. Xu Lai refused to leave without finding Jin Shichuan. Seeing this, others volunteered to stay as well. Xu Lai used the reflection of light on her hairpin to locate Jin Shichuan's whereabouts. Ten years ago, Jin Shichuan saved her, and now Xu Lai saved him. They were entangled in such a way that they couldn't be separated. Jin Shichuan was rescued and unharmed.

Huo Yanzong came to bid farewell to Xu Lai. He knew that her heart was filled with Jin Shichuan and couldn't accommodate anyone else. He had figured it out and decided to let go of his feelings for Xu Lai. He would continue to protect her as a friend and sincerely bless her and Jin Shichuan. Huo Yanzong returned to the medical point and found that Yu Shishi had already left. The person who was rescued by Jin Shichuan came to thank him and promised to change and start anew. This scene deeply shocked Xu Lai, and she recorded it, writing a profound report. During a meeting, Qin Ye highly praised Xu Lai, and Zhou Tingwei applauded, earning a glare from Jiang Xin. After going through hardships, Xu Lai and Jin Shichuan's relationship deepened.

After the rescue operation ended, the rescue team returned to Huaigang. Liu Xu had only one month left before he had to leave. His grandmother was old, so he decided to go back and take care of her. Everyone from the rescue team was brought back by Jin Shichuan, making him feel satisfied. Lu Fangqi took this opportunity to pursue Zang Qiu. Back in Huaigang, Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai went to her house for dinner. Lin Quan embraced her daughter, seeing her return unscathed from the earthquake-stricken area, and cried tears of excitement. Xu Chengyun toasted Jin Shichuan, and Lin Quan also raised a glass to him. Finally, she fully accepted this excellent son-in-law. After dinner, Xu Chengyun and Lin Quan were very happy, and Jin Shichuan took a family photo with them.

Jin Shichuan couldn't handle alcohol. After a few drinks, his cheeks turned red, making him look silly and cute. Xu Lai accompanied him home. The next day, everyone celebrated Xu Lai's return to work. Qin Ye returned her press card, and this time she wouldn't run away again, continuing to walk firmly on the path of a journalist. Everyone cleaned the dog kennel together. Zhang Yang felt resentful towards Liu Xu for hiding his intention to leave and intentionally forbade the search dog Wudi from playing with the champion. Liu Xu ignored him when he spoke. Liu Xu finally understood that Zhang Yang was just throwing a tantrum. Lu Fangqi teased Liu Xu and told him to appease Zhang Yang.

Knowing that Zhang Yang couldn't accept the fact that he was leaving, Liu Xu assured him that he would come back often to see him and Wudi. After the earthquake relief, a commendation ceremony was held by the relevant departments. Jin Shichuan, as one of the outstanding contributors, received recognition amidst everyone's congratulations. During an interview with reporters, Jin Shichuan publicly revealed that Xu Lai was his beloved and shared this honor with her. In front of the live TV broadcast, he personally placed the medal on Xu Lai. Without Xu Lai, there wouldn't be him. Lu Fangqi thought this approach was great and eagerly followed suit, taking his military medal to find Zang Qiu. He presented the medal to her, following Jin Shichuan's example, expressing that half of the medal belonged to him and the other half to her.

Zang Qiu was still hesitant to admit that she was his girlfriend. Later, when she heard that the patient's grandmother wanted to introduce someone to Lu Fangqi, she immediately announced that he was her boyfriend. Lu Fangqi was overjoyed and lifted Zang Qiu up while spinning around. Xu Lai had double happiness. She excelled in her work and was nominated as an outstanding reporter in the station. Jiang Xin was extremely jealous and secretly instructed Zhou Tingwei to find people responsible for data traffic, ensuring that her special feature would have higher click rates than Xu Lai's. She couldn't just stand by and watch Xu Lai surpass her. Jiang Xin was also one of the candidates for team leader. The station suggested that she and Xu Lai each work on a separate special feature, and the click rate of the special feature would be one of the criteria for evaluation. Therefore, Jiang Xin was willing to take the risk of being discovered and falsify the data.

After finishing their duty, Jin Shichuan saw the news and immediately called Xu Lai. The Qixi Festival was approaching, and it would be their first Qixi Festival together since they started dating. However, there were many emergencies during the Qixi Festival, and Jin Shichuan had to stay at the station on standby and couldn't accompany Xu Lai. Later, Jin Shichuan changed his mind and decided to spend the Qixi Festival with Xu Lai a week in advance. He bought a bouquet of roses, and Xu Lai waited for him at the restaurant. However, even after the restaurant closed for the night, Jin Shichuan didn't show up. Xu Lai wasn't angry and patiently waited for him. On his way to meet Xu Lai, Jin Shichuan encountered an emergency. The roses were almost burned, leaving only one stem. He gave this burnt rose to Xu Lai, who said it was the most beautiful flower she had ever seen.

This burnt rose inspired Xu Lai, and she created a special feature titled "Rose in the Flames," documenting a day in the life of a firefighter from the perspective of a girlfriend. After the release of this special feature, its click rate surpassed all previous special features in the same time slot on the Huai Gang TV station. Meanwhile, it was discovered that Jiang Xin's special feature had falsified traffic, and the station took it down. During a meeting, Qin Ye criticized the person responsible for the falsified traffic special feature, although he didn't explicitly mention who it was, everyone knew. Huo Yanzong watched the special feature made by Xu Lai, which featured Jin Shichuan, and although he still felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart, he had completely let go of his feelings for Xu Lai. However, Han Fang told him that Yu Shishi was caught up in a public opinion storm due to an anonymous post.

Huo Yanzong met Xu Lai and asked her for Yu Shishi's photos and information as a volunteer in the earthquake-stricken area. He publicly clarified the situation for Yu Shishi, leading to a reversal in public opinion. Everyone praised Yu Shishi as a positive role model. Yu Shishi went to a bar to drown her sorrows, and Huo Yanzong found her and took her home. The next day, when Yu Shishi woke up, Huo Yanzong told her that he wouldn't break up with her. Xu Lai discovered that Jiang Xin was the one who posted the anonymous article, and she was completely furious. Now that Xu Lai was about to become the team leader, her first order of business would be to kick Jiang Xin out of there. Qin Ye mentioned that there was a large-scale cold chain logistics park in the city that needed to be covered, and he asked Xu Lai to lead the team. Jiang Xin proposed to go with Xu Lai.

Jiang Xin insisted on going out to report the news with Xu Lai and brought Zhou Tingwei along. Although Zhou Tingwei had a strained relationship with Xu Lai, Jiang Xin didn't care about that. Now they were all in the same boat, and Zhou Tingwei had no choice but to go along with it. Yu Shishi's manager told her that Huo Yanzong cared a lot about her. Not only did he help her pay off the breach of contract fees for many brands, but he also cleaned her house before leaving. Yu Shishi believed that Huo Yanzong did all this out of guilt. She asked her manager to prepare for the announcement. She wanted to publicly announce her breakup with Huo Yanzong and terminate her contract with Yun Kai Group. Xu Lai wanted to visit the cold storage, and the staff had to leave temporarily. After giving her some instructions, they left her alone to shoot inside the cold storage.

Jiang Xin followed her to the cold storage and remembered Xu Lai saying that she would kick her out once she became the team leader. Jiang Xin's evil nature took over, and she deliberately closed the cold storage door that could only be opened from the outside, locking Xu Lai inside the cold storage without any signal. Zhou Tingwei, following Xu Lai's instructions, recorded the surveillance video and unintentionally captured evidence of Jiang Xin's crime. Later, Xu Lai was discovered by a worker and was taken to the hospital via an ambulance. When Xu Lai woke up, the first person she saw was Jin Shichuan. Jin Shichuan said the door could only be closed from the outside, so someone deliberately locked her in the cold storage. Upon hearing others' gossip, Zhou Tingwei immediately checked the footage on the SD card and confirmed that it was Jiang Xin's doing. He confronted Jiang Xin, only to be threatened by her.

Jin Shichuan took care of Xu Lai's discharge procedures, and with his support, Xu Lai felt happy. After a strong internal struggle, Zhou Tingwei went to apologize to Xu Lai. Xu Lai accepted his apology and expressed that he was actually the one she owed an apology to the most. It happened that Liu Xu was about to leave the team, and Xu Lai was also being discharged from the hospital. She invited everyone for a meal. Liu Xu borrowed a camera and recorded a message for each member of the team, as a farewell gesture. Jin Shichuan also joined in the fun and recorded a message for Xu Lai. Zhou Tingwei finally sincerely repented and decided not to go along with Jiang Xin's schemes anymore. He handed the recorded video to Xu Lai and gave up his opportunity to stay at the TV station, considering it as the price for his past mistakes.

Qin Ye publicly announced that Xu Lai would replace him as the new team leader. Shortly after, Qin Ye received a call from the police and left the meeting. Xu Lai took charge of the meeting. She played the recorded video on the big screen, completely exposing Jiang Xin's true colors. Jiang Xin was reported for intentionally harming others and was taken into custody by the police. Jin Shichuan's outstanding work led to his assignment to the headquarters for a year of training. Lu Fangqi became the acting station manager and took charge of the overall work at the station. Jin Shichuan had conversations with everyone, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but cry. After work in the evening, Jin Shichuan told Xu Lai about this, and Xu Lai got angry and had a quarrel with him. Jin Shichuan climbed up the water pipe and used a wireless intercom to contact Xu Lai. Xu Lai let him in, and he sat on the vaulting horse to reflect.

Xu Lai was about to start a long-distance relationship with him and planned to adapt to only being able to hear his voice. However, Jin Shichuan didn't want that. He hugged Xu Lai, realizing that they wouldn't be able to hug each other for some time. The next morning, Jin Shichuan woke up early and made breakfast for Xu Lai. He decided to take time off for the next few days to accompany Xu Lai. Zang Qiu had the afternoon off and took the firefighting manual to the fire station, coincidentally meeting Lu Fangqi. Lu Fangqi was very happy and took the promotional booklet from her hand, enthusiastically taking Zang Qiu to visit the fire station.

Lu Fangqi took Zang Qiu to the room and was about to put his hand on her shoulder when Xiao Hei interrupted them. Xu Lai accompanied Jin Shichuan to go shopping, and being a girl, she considered every detail. Yu Shishi went to the TV station to record a program and happened to meet Xu Lai in the elevator. From Xu Lai, she learned that Huo Yanzong had visited the hospital later, but she had already left by then. Yu Shishi pretended to be aloof, but deep down, she was kind-hearted and couldn't bring herself to dislike Xu Lai. Even so, Yu Shishi was determined to cut ties cleanly with Huo Yanzong. Han Fang delivered the contract termination document to Huo Yanzong, stating that Yu Shishi's manager would come to Yun Kai Group in the afternoon to discuss the termination.

Yu Shishi received a call from her manager and was so angry that she went straight to Yun Kai Group to find Huo Yanzong. Huo Yanzong didn't want to distance himself from Yu Shishi, let alone terminate the contract. Whatever kind of person he was, Yu Shishi could now try to understand, whether as a spokesperson or as a girlfriend. After Liu Xu left the team, his plan was to go back to his hometown to take care of his grandmother and find a wife and have two children. Lu Fangqi had a day off today and specially went to find Zang Qiu. Seeing her tired legs, Lu Fangqi lifted her up and carried her. He took Zang Qiu to the riverside, making her happy, and Zang Qiu said she liked him. It was the first time Zang Qiu said she liked him, and Lu Fangqi was extremely excited. In the height of their emotions, they embraced and kissed by the riverside, with the sun, moon, and stars witnessing their hard-earned love.

Xu Lai cooked a meal for Jin Shichuan and gave him a schedule for their love life. They spent these days off together very sweetly. The next day, Jin Shichuan accompanied Xu Lai to work. Today, he also had to go to the headquarters, and it wouldn't be easy for them to see each other in the future. This weekend, Liu Xu was about to leave, so the team organized a farewell party for him in the canteen. Jin Shichuan gave the concluding speech. When he was transferred to Huaigang five years ago, it was Liu Xu who helped him get familiar with everything here, and they first met in the canteen. Liu Xu had been a firefighter for twelve years, saving countless lives. It was the greatest honor. Jin Shichuan and the team saluted Liu Xu, their eyes determined and filled with reluctance, and tears welled up in Liu Xu's eyes as he returned the salute to everyone.

Liu Xu bid farewell to his unbeatable search and rescue dog, and the alarm bell rang. Before it was even noon, Liu Xu joined the mission. The situation was urgent, and Jin Shichuan went with him. There was a fire at a small-scale refinery on Yunko Road in the southern part of the city. Xu Lai went with Lao Zhang and Keke to report on the scene. The refinery stored highly explosive and flammable hazardous chemicals, and the political commissar came to remind Jin Shichuan that he was primarily responsible for this firefighting and rescue operation, ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. Xu Lai arrived and was about to interview the person in charge of the refinery when a sudden explosion occurred. Jin Shichuan led his team into the fire, racing against time to rescue people. The main valve on the second floor was damaged by the high temperature, and when a backfire occurred, Jin Shichuan made a decisive move to use water to push back the flames.

The situation was critical, and the manual closing of the valve on the third floor was necessary. Once it exploded, it would endanger the vertical storage tanks outside. Moreover, if the fire couldn't be controlled and an explosion occurred, it would endanger the surrounding residents. The political commissar consulted the command center and requested a live broadcast by the TV station to remind the nearby residents to evacuate as soon as possible. There was a leak of an unidentified liquid on the third floor, and Liu Xu was responsible for going up to inspect and handle it.

The fire raged on, and the refinery exploded, posing great danger.

Jin Shichuan, dressed in fire-resistant clothing, bravely entered the sea of flames, determined to rescue Liu Xu.

Jin Shichuan left a video for Xu Lai, who watched it with tears and laughter.

Lu Fangqi developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the trauma but refused to seek treatment.

Zang Qiu tried to persuade him to see a doctor, using every means possible. While Zang Qiu cooked, Lu Fangqi stood by, and she hoped to help him overcome his fear of fire.

Jin Shichuan was seriously injured, lying unconscious in the hospital bed. Xu Lai realized that she wasn't as strong as she thought and truly needed Jin Shichuan to wake up.

Jin Shichuan embraced Xu Lai and draped his own clothes over her.

Xu Lai and Zang Qiu came to the fire station to celebrate the Lunar New Year with them, but an emergency call came in, and all firefighters disappeared in an instant.

Xu Lai had planned to propose to Jin Shichuan today, but they were both called out on a mission.

Suddenly, the surroundings went dark, as if there was a power outage. Zang Qiu moved to the side, leaving Xu Lai feeling puzzled.

A serious collapse accident occurred at the city gymnasium, and a group of people were trapped.

Huo Yanzong confessed his love to Yu Shishi, even though he knew it was too late.

Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai missed each other's wedding, but their wedding night has just begun.
