> Go Ahead Recap
Jin Yuxiang and Qi Mingyue's father agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle their divorce the next afternoon at 2 PM. Qi Mingyue felt a pang of sympathy for Jin Yuxiang and offered to stay at home with her for two months since she still had two months before going to Beijing.
Jin Yuxiang shook her head, saying that since Qi Mingyue would be leaving in two months anyway, it was better for her to get used to being alone earlier. Jin Yuxiang was a bit surprised that Qi Mingyue had spoken up for her, but Qi Mingyue explained that as a reporter, she was just stating the facts. Chen Ting rented a house in the community where Ling Xiao lived.
Qin Meiyang also returned home and saw Chen Ting mopping the floor. Qin Meiyang quickly took the mop to help Chen Ting. Chen Ting asked Qin Meiyang what she had been doing lately. When she learned that Qin Meiyang had been working at He Ziqiu's coffee shop for the past few days, Chen Ting was annoyed and told Qin Meiyang not to go there anymore. Chen Ting, being dark-minded, thought that He Ziqiu definitely didn't like Qin Meiyang.
Moreover, He Ziqiu hadn't shown up for Ling Xiao's birthday that day, so Chen Ting wondered what He Ziqiu's intentions were in letting Qin Meiyang work at his coffee shop. Qin Meiyang was also irritated by Chen Ting's slander of He Ziqiu and quickly spoke up for him, telling Chen Ting not to always think the worst of people.
She said that everyone had their own things to do every day, so how could they have so much time to hate the two of them? Chen Ting saw Qin Meiyang suddenly contradict her and felt that Qin Meiyang had betrayed her, and that she, like Ling Xiao, had been brainwashed by He Ziqiu and the others. Seeing that Chen Ting wouldn't listen to her explanation, Qin Meiyang stopped trying to explain.
He Ziqiu went to the studio to pick up Li Jianjian after work so they could go home and eat together. He Ziqiu specifically brought coffee for the three of them, but Zhou Miao didn't appreciate it. After the two left, Du Juan asked Zhou Miao what was going on. Zhou Miao again brought up that Li Jianjian wasn't taking the plagiarism issue seriously, feeling that she wasn't worried at all.
He also said that she had been looking for a photo for so long and couldn't find it, suggesting that Li Jianjian might actually have plagiarized. Zhou Miao added that Yu Fei was well-known in the industry and had works, so she wouldn't plagiarize Li Jianjian. Moreover, Li Jianjian had signed a contract with a furniture manufacturer, and if she couldn't produce evidence to prove she hadn't plagiarized, she would have to pay a large breach of contract fee.
Zhou Miao saw that Du Juan was worried about the breach of contract fee, so he said that Li Jianjian's plagiarism was her own business, and Du Juan was also a victim of plagiarism and didn't need to compensate with Li Jianjian. Zhou Miao advised Du Juan to break up with Li Jianjian so she wouldn't have to pay the breach of contract fee. He also told Du Juan to partner with him after he graduated.
Du Juan felt troubled and conflicted after hearing Zhou Miao's words, not knowing what to do. When He Ziqiu and Li Jianjian returned to the noodle shop for dinner, Xiao Zhu asked He Ziqiu about the progress between He Mei and Li Haichao. She also told them about He Mei contradicting Hongying at the noodle shop that day and said that Li Haichao had asked He Mei to go to the bookstore with him tomorrow.
Li Jianjian was even more curious about their progress when she heard they were starting to date. Li Jianjian excitedly pulled He Ziqiu's hand, saying that if He Mei and Li Haichao got married, their family would be on the same household registration book. He Ziqiu, however, was worried that He Mei might dump Li Haichao again like before. Li Jianjian then suggested that they secretly go and watch Li Haichao's date tomorrow.
After Tang Can got the theater job, Zhuang Bei had been driving her home every day. As they walked and chatted in the neighborhood, Tang Can said she had decided to resign from her museum job. Tang Can planned to go back and explain it clearly to her mother. If her mother didn't agree, she would continue to fight. As they walked downstairs, they met Qi Mingyue and Jin Yuxiang.
Zhuang Bei was a bit awkward when he saw Qi Mingyue. After greeting them, he was about to leave, but Qi Mingyue told Tang Can and Jin Yuxiang to go upstairs first, saying she wanted to talk to Zhuang Bei for a few minutes. Qi Mingyue apologized to Zhuang Bei, saying she shouldn't have treated his confession that way before. She had thought about it for a long time and realized she didn't actually dislike Zhuang Bei; she disliked herself.
So, when Zhuang Bei said he liked her, she was especially scared, afraid that Zhuang Bei would be disappointed in her once he understood her. Qi Mingyue had never understood the feeling of growing up, but when she learned that her parents were getting divorced, she realized she should grow up and support the family.
Zhuang Bei comforted Qi Mingyue, saying that perhaps her parents' divorce wasn't a bad thing, and that everyone makes mistakes; he had once hurt someone who confessed to him. After Qi Mingyue and Zhuang Bei finished talking, they re-added each other on WeChat and remained good friends. After Qi Mingyue returned home, she chatted with Tang Can for a bit, saying that her parents had already divorced.
Her father was tidying up his things at home that night, and Jin Yuxiang would sleep in her room tonight. In the evening, Qi Mingyue heard Jin Yuxiang crying and felt very sad. Qi Mingyue hugged Jin Yuxiang and comforted her for a while. The next morning, Qin Meiyang came to Li Jianjian's house to deliver a gift. Qi Mingyue opened the door and said she would visit her house that evening.
While the two were exchanging greetings at the door, Li Jianjian suddenly came out of Ling Xiao's house. The two looked at Li Jianjian with some surprise and asked if Li Jianjian had slept at Ling Xiao's place last night. Li Jianjian quickly explained that she was just chatting with Ling Xiao. Li Haichao and He Mei had agreed to go to the bookstore together.
Before leaving, Li Haichao specifically tidied himself up and was especially nervous when he saw He Mei. Li Haichao casually picked up a classic novel to flip through. He Mei teased Li Haichao, saying that he was different now that he was dating a teacher and had become fond of reading. Li Haichao quickly explained that he was reading a classic because He Mei used to like them.
He Mei saw Li Haichao explaining so seriously and couldn't help but chuckle, saying that her taste in men used to be poor, and now she knew that serious men were the best. After the two left, Li Jianjian and He Ziqiu suddenly emerged from behind the bookshelf. Li Jianjian thought Li Haichao and He Mei's affectionate behavior was particularly wonderful.
She wanted to continue following them to watch their date, but He Ziqiu felt awkward and wanted to pull Li Jianjian away. As they were tugging, Li Haichao and He Mei returned. The four then had lunch together. Seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Jianjian said that she didn't think they were dating, but unexpectedly, He Mei generously admitted it. Li Jianjian was overjoyed, feeling that Li Haichao's lifelong happiness was settled.
After eating, she called Ling Xiao to tell him about it. Du Juan considered it overnight, then called Li Jianjian to the studio, saying she wanted to talk to her properly. Zhou Miao thought Du Juan had accepted his advice and decided to break up with Li Jianjian, but Du Juan said that she had thought about it all night and had now formally decided to fire Zhou Miao.
