When Tang Can came back from the restroom, Du Juan suddenly saw a Weibo post. Zhou Miao took the phone and mysteriously said it was a juicy piece of gossip. Everyone was curious, so Zhou Miao shared the post to their Moments using Du Juan’s phone, saying Li Jianjian was two-timing. It turned out one of Li Jianjian’s anonymous posts from "Tree Hole" had been leaked and was trending.
He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao both saw the post and realized they liked the same person—Li Jianjian. Back home, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu pulled Li Jianjian aside to talk things out. Ling Xiao felt that since he and Li Jianjian grew up in the same household, even without blood ties, they were like real siblings.
But He Ziqiu argued that Li Haichao had raised Ling Xiao like a son, and aside from not sleeping at the Li house, he was no different from a real sibling. The argument escalated. He Ziqiu questioned whether Chen Ting would accept it if she found out Ling Xiao and Li Jianjian were together. Ling Xiao responded that he didn’t need Chen Ting’s approval—only the consent of the person involved.
Not knowing that Ling Xiao and Li Jianjian were already together, He Ziqiu said that Li Jianjian had always seen both of them as older brothers. Hearing this, Li Jianjian felt guilty. Ling Xiao then told He Ziqiu directly that he and Li Jianjian were in a relationship. At first, He Ziqiu laughed it off, but seeing Li Jianjian nod, he was devastated—he couldn’t understand why, if both were brothers, Li Jianjian didn’t choose him.
Li Jianjian was down all night. The next morning, she, Qi Mingyue, and Tang Can all assumed He Ziqiu wouldn’t cook anymore and were about to go out for breakfast. But when they stepped outside, they found that He Ziqiu had already made breakfast like usual. However, he didn’t stay to eat. Li Jianjian stopped him and asked him not to be angry. He Ziqiu replied he wasn’t angry. At that moment, Ling Xiao came out of his room.
Though He Ziqiu’s attitude toward Li Jianjian remained the same, he was clearly hostile toward Ling Xiao. Later at the studio, Li Jianjian received a call from a high school classmate. As soon as she realized it was about the Weibo post, she quickly denied everything and hung up with an excuse. Du Juan felt bad for her and said if she were in Li Jianjian’s shoes, she wouldn’t know how to choose either.
Zhou Miao chimed in, suggesting she pick He Ziqiu because he was wealthier. Just then, Du Juan received a text saying the guaranteed licensing fee had arrived. Everyone was excited. Li Jianjian asked Du Juan to transfer her share right away since she needed it urgently. Zhou Miao suggested using part of the money for promotion. But Li Jianjian cut him off and warned him that if he brought it up again, he’d be fired.
Zhou Miao had no choice but to shut up. After seeing the Weibo post, Feng Xixi also guessed it was from Li Jianjian. Her curiosity got the best of her, so she went to find Ling Xiao. As an outsider, she thought their story was fascinating, but Ling Xiao was upset—it had been a painful experience for him. Realizing he was genuinely angry, Feng Xixi regretted bringing it up.
While Ling Xiao was resting, Chen Ting called and asked where the pineapple tart shop near his university was. After giving her the address, Ling Xiao felt uneasy and called Qin Meiyang to check on Chen Ting. Qin Meiyang said she seemed better lately, even going out with friends and shopping. Ling Xiao was a little reassured and reminded Qin Meiyang not to upset Chen Ting at home.
Qi Mingyue arranged for Zhuang Bei to meet at He Ziqiu’s shop for legal advice. Both of them thought He Ziqiu was acting too calm after learning that Li Jianjian had chosen Ling Xiao. Meanwhile, Luo Hong chatted with He Mei over tea. Luo Hong said after meeting He Ziqiu, she felt he didn’t hold a grudge against He Mei and encouraged her to reconcile with him. But He Mei said she didn’t have the face to do so.
While they were chatting, the kindergarten teacher called to say He Mei’s son Dongdong had bitten another child. He Mei rushed to the school, where she learned that Dongdong had autism. The teacher suggested sending him to a special school, which would be better for him. That night, after work, Ling Xiao picked up Li Jianjian to walk her home. They chatted along the way. Li Jianjian asked if Ling Xiao had dated anyone in college. He quickly denied it.
Then she asked if he had any close female friends. Ling Xiao said there was one, and she had helped him a lot. Li Jianjian grew curious about Ling Xiao’s college life. She didn’t know much about it, but Ling Xiao knew all about hers—even that she had planted a tree at school. They went to see that tree, which had grown so well it had become a “wishing tree” on campus.
Ling Xiao wrote a wish and hung it on the tree, then kissed Li Jianjian under it. During dinner, Ling Xiao said that moving forward, Li Jianjian should keep her distance from He Ziqiu. Li Jianjian agreed but also hoped they could keep some distance from each other in front of He Ziqiu. Ling Xiao disagreed and even got a little angry, asking if she was reconsidering her choice. He thought Li Jianjian had chosen him out of pity. Li Jianjian was upset and said if she didn’t like him, why would she agree to be with him?
