Tang Can strongly agreed with Li Jianjian’s thoughts. After figuring out how to face Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu, Li Jianjian felt much better and decided to invite them home for dinner the next day to make Li Haichao and Ling Heping happy. Early the next morning, Li Jianjian went to find He Ziqiu and told him that they were going to celebrate Ling Heping’s birthday that evening, and that He Ziqiu could personally bake a cake for him.
He Ziqiu was a little happy seeing Li Jianjian’s sudden change in attitude toward him, but he also started to worry about how to face Li Haichao again. At the dental hospital, Ling Xiao had just seen off a patient when he noticed a little girl crying at the entrance, refusing to see the dentist. His heart softened, and he went up to comfort her.
Under Ling Xiao’s gentle words, the girl stopped crying and insisted that he be the one to check her teeth. Her original dentist, Feng Xixi, was terrified of children and signaled Ling Xiao to take over the case, which he agreed to do. He Ziqiu finally mustered up the courage to go home. When he returned to the noodle shop, Li Haichao was busy in the kitchen. He Ziqiu looked at the menu, unsure of what to eat.
There was a photo of Li Jianjian, Ling Xiao, and He Ziqiu on the counter, and since Li Haichao often mentioned the three of them, the cashier recognized He Ziqiu and guessed he might want the sweet and sour pork ribs noodles. Hearing the cashier’s words, a puzzled Li Haichao came out from the kitchen and was speechless to see He Ziqiu had returned. The cashier joked that He Ziqiu should kneel and kowtow to Li Haichao.
Without hesitation, He Ziqiu knelt before Li Haichao and kowtowed. Li Haichao quickly helped him up and hugged him tightly. He Ziqiu went home with Li Haichao. After some hesitation, Li Haichao asked him what Zhao Huaguang had said about his return. He Ziqiu didn’t want to talk about Zhao Huaguang and only said that Zhao Huaguang couldn’t control him.
Li Haichao was a bit uneasy, knowing that Zhao Huaguang had paid for He Ziqiu’s tuition and living expenses all these years. Even if they weren’t close, he didn’t want He Ziqiu to hurt Zhao Huaguang’s feelings. But since He Ziqiu didn’t want to discuss it, Li Haichao said no more. He Ziqiu opened the door to his old room and was surprised to see it had been tidied up. He asked Li Haichao if someone had been living there.
Li Haichao smiled and said Li Jianjian had called him earlier, saying an extra person would be coming for dinner, and he had already figured out He Ziqiu would return after learning about his recent secret visit to the noodle shop. When asked if he would move back in, He Ziqiu replied that he was staying with Ling Xiao. At the studio, Li Jianjian was busy when she suddenly received a confession text from “Ran,” a longtime online friend.
They were supposed to meet at the exhibition last time, but due to a misunderstanding caused by He Ziqiu, the meeting never happened. Feeling conflicted, she told her senior Du Juan, who encouraged her to try dating and said love might inspire new creative ideas. However, upon learning it was Ran who confessed, Du Juan was a bit concerned. She said that from his work, she could sense Ran’s almost sacred admiration for women, which was beautiful but fragile.
Based on her dating experience, guys like Ran often turned out to be unattractive. She advised Li Jianjian to at least look at his photo first. That night, a few of them gathered to celebrate Ling Heping’s birthday. He Ziqiu personally made a cake for him but forgot the candles. Ling Xiao offered to get them, but He Ziqiu insisted on going himself and, in doing so, noticed a scar on Ling Xiao’s shoulder.
He Ziqiu kept asking about it, and Ling Heping also asked why Ling Xiao never mentioned being injured. Ling Xiao retorted that Ling Heping never told him about the time he broke his leg and got a concussion on a mission. He Ziqiu was surprised—he had never heard about it either. Li Jianjian, frustrated, said that even if they had known, they wouldn’t have been able to come back to take care of them. He Ziqiu was left speechless.
The atmosphere grew awkward, and realizing she may have said the wrong thing, Li Jianjian quickly urged everyone to sit down and continue eating. After dinner, Ling Xiao wanted to take a cab with Li Jianjian to send her home, but He Ziqiu insisted she ride with him. They thought he had bought a car, only to find he had purchased a secondhand electric scooter online that wouldn’t start. As Li Jianjian received a message, she smiled brightly.
Ling Xiao asked who it was, and she said it was her boyfriend. Without waiting for He Ziqiu to start the scooter, she went to hail a cab. Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu exchanged stunned glances—neither could believe Li Jianjian had a boyfriend. Seeing her drive away, He Ziqiu quickly rode off to catch up, but his scooter broke down halfway. He had to push it forward and, while waiting at a red light, saw He Mei sitting in a car nearby. By the time he reacted, the car had already driven away.
