Ren Xinzheng taught Sun Toutou to drink, but his own alcohol tolerance was poor. He started to feel discomfort in his stomach at night. Linglan cooked hangover soup for him and asked why he was so patient with Sun Toutou. Ren Xinzheng spoke his true feelings after drinking, saying he believed Ren Tianzhen would eventually return to the medical clinic. On the other hand, Sun Toutou, who currently lacks proper guidance, will have no connection with traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

At the Chinese medicine clinic, it was discovered that Zhao Liquan had put his clothes and luggage into the medicine cabinet. Ren Xinzheng was surprised to see that the cabinet meant for storing medicinal herbs now contained Zhao Liquan's unwashed clothes. Sun Toutou whispered that Zhao Liquan had gone out to work and earn money.

Linglan, knowing about Zhao Liquan's family difficulties, advised Ren Xinzheng to let Zhao Liquan work as a medicine worker at the pharmacy when he wasn't busy, and attend classes when necessary, so as not to interfere with his studies. Initially, Ren Xinzheng was reluctant, but after both Sun Toutou and Ren Tianzhen pleaded with him, he finally agreed.

Sun Toutou and Ren Tianzhen went to find Zhao Liquan and discovered that he was working as a masseur at a massage parlor on the street. Ren Tianzhen felt that Zhao Liquan's part-time job was an insult to traditional Chinese medicine, but Zhao Liquan didn't think it was a big deal. He explained that his family had been covering all the expenses, including his college education. Zhao Liquan and Ren Tianzhen started arguing back and forth, while Sun Toutou watched anxiously. She immediately intervened and told both of them to calm down. She informed Zhao Liquan that Ren Tianzhen had good news for him. He could work part-time at the Chinese medicine clinic, which would be a win-win situation. Upon hearing this, Zhao Liquan became immediately happy. Being able to study and earn money at the same time resolved his urgent financial situation.

Unable to stay at the Chinese medicine clinic anymore, Zhao Liquan arrived at Sun Toutou's best friend's place in the evening with his luggage. Sun Toutou had arranged for him to temporarily stay at Star's place. When Star saw Zhao Liquan carrying his suitcase, she started to have second thoughts and immediately called Sun Toutou, questioning why she had allowed a man to stay at her place. Sun Toutou vouched for Zhao Liquan's character, assuring Star that he was trustworthy and there would be no issues living together. She even mentioned that it wasn't safe for Star to live alone and having Zhao Liquan around meant she would receive free massages even when her neck hurt. Seeing that it was already late, Star allowed Zhao Liquan to stay temporarily.

One of Ren Xinzheng's friends, Zhu Changming, had been troubled by insomnia for many days. Thinking it was due to poor health, he started obsessively taking supplements. As his family was wealthy, he chose expensive medicinal ingredients such as ginseng and cordyceps. When he saw Ren Xinzheng, he exchanged pleasantries and couldn't help but ask him to prescribe some expensive medicinal ingredients. Ren Xinzheng kindly advised him to eat radishes and cabbage for good health and explained that taking supplements should be targeted to specific needs. A massage therapist hired by Ren Xinzheng noticed Zhu Changming's subconscious frown when he turned around and immediately diagnosed him with thoracic misalignment, which was causing pressure on his heart and leading to insomnia. Zhu Changming agreed, mentioning that he usually played golf but had lost interest recently due to his lack of energy caused by insomnia.

The Chinese medicine clinic started offering courses on lumbar and spinal health. Zhao Liquan enthusiastically pushed a swivel chair for the teacher, who then took the opportunity to explain to everyone that sitting on such chairs is not good for the lumbar spine. The teacher went on to explain the structure of various joints in the human body. It has become a trend for everyone to use smartphones frequently, and in the future, cervical spondylosis will certainly be a common ailment.

Suddenly, a group of construction workers entered the classroom, claiming that they had a contract signed by Liu Changqing for renovation work. Ren Xinzheng was surprised and immediately called Liu Changqing. Liu Changqing admitted that although he had a passion for traditional Chinese medicine, he still needed to earn a living. The initial intention of lending the classroom to Ren Xinzheng was for collaboration, but Ren Xinzheng had shown no interest in any of his proposed projects. Now, Liu Changqing wanted to take back the promises he had made to Ren Xinzheng, including the classroom and even the dormitory.

The Chinese medicine class had a few days off, so Shiyan suggested that the classmates go together to the Qixi Temple Fair. Everyone applauded and formed a group to go. Ren Tianzhen also brought Mengmeng along, and when playing the ring-toss game, he successfully won a beloved stuffed toy for her.

Ren Xinzheng contacted several classmates with resources but none of them were able to solve the problem of finding a place to study medicine. He felt frustrated, and that night, the family discussed this matter together. Ren Xinzheng confessed that ever since the incident of publicly drinking the "break-up wine," he had been feeling uneasy and it had truly become a burden on his mind. His father-in-law encouraged him not to be discouraged and reminded him that from childhood to now, Ren Xinzheng's academic and professional life had always been smooth. This current adversity was deliberately giving him an opportunity to grow and develop.
