Chen Luzhou and the others went to a food stall for a meal. Zhu Yangqi gave Chen Luzhou a limited-edition hoodie. Zhu Yangqi said, “You're celebrating your birthday at a food stall?” Chen Luzhou replied, “It’s just a birthday, no need to make a fuss.” Xu Zhi arrived, and Chen Luzhou said, “You're showing up empty-handed on my birthday?” Xu Zhi said, “Weren’t you the one who said not to prepare anything?”
Chen Luzhou told Xu Zhi to buy him a basketball. Xu Zhi came back with a basketball keychain and said she had asked the vendor—this one wouldn’t hurt if thrown at someone. During class, the teacher asked Cai Yingying to go up and deliver the news. Cai Yingying didn’t perform well, and the teacher was very dissatisfied. Xu Zhi took Chen Luzhou to a place. Chen Luzhou asked what she brought him there for—was it to give him a gift?
Xu Zhi gave Chen Luzhou a model of a house and said that nineteen-year-old Chen Luzhou had nineteen-year-old Xu Zhi by his side, but six-year-old Chen Luzhou didn’t have a home. If he was willing, they could have a home of their own in Qingyi. Chen Luzhou was very emotional. Xu Zhi told Chen Luzhou not to cry and to hurry up and cut the cake. Xu Zhi’s father called and asked if she had met anyone she liked recently.
Xu Zhi said no. He asked if she had been in contact with Chen Luzhou, and Xu Zhi said they hadn’t been in touch for a long time. Her father told her to go to bed early. Chen Luzhou came over and heard it, saying that Xu Zhi didn’t even bother to come up with a cover story when lying now. Xu Zhi said she had always been like this. The two of them started to bicker.
The next day, Xu Zhi and the others went to class. The teacher said three students needed to redo their assignments, and one of them was Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi was very upset. Chen Luzhou came to have lunch with her, but Xu Zhi said she wouldn’t eat and was heading to the library. Xu Zhi’s roommate said her own assignment had passed, even though it was Xu Zhi who guided all of them—only Xu Zhi’s didn’t pass.
Chen Luzhou came to find Xu Zhi and told her she had to eat first to have energy to do her assignment. Xu Zhi went to ask the teacher about her assignment. The teacher said that for a freshman, her work was actually quite good, so he held her to a higher standard. This time, the assignment was to design a civic plaza for an urban village, but her work lacked a sense of human concern.
Xu Zhi went back to revise her assignment and fell asleep at her desk. Xu Zhi dreamed about her mother. In the dream, her mother said her assignment was terrible—if she couldn’t do it, she should just give up. Xu Zhi asked why her mother always had to be so harsh. Her mother told her that if she felt wronged, she should just cry—yet she couldn’t even cry.
Xu Zhi woke up and messaged Chen Luzhou, saying she was downstairs at his dorm. She said she had a nightmare and couldn’t cry, so she came to him for help. Chen Luzhou and the others were participating in a mathematical modeling competition. Li Ke and the others argued over which advisor to choose. Li Ke asked for Chen Luzhou’s opinion, but he said Xu Zhi had a nightmare and he was going to comfort her first. Everyone was speechless.
Xu Zhi told Chen Luzhou about her nightmare. Chen Luzhou thought that Xu Zhi had been suppressing her emotions for so long that it had dulled her ability to perceive them. Xu Zhi said that after her mother passed away, someone came to their house holding a child, saying that because her mother was gone, their project couldn’t continue, salaries couldn’t be paid, and their family should take care of the child.
In fact, all those people had been helped by her mother when she was alive. At the time, Xu Zhi felt that emotions were the most useless thing. Chen Luzhou and Xu Zhi went to see a movie, and Chen Luzhou cried during it. Xu Zhi comforted him and told him not to cry, saying that movies weren’t real anyway.
