As Lily was carrying a package back to her apartment, she accidentally stumbled and twisted her ankle. Ye Jiahui immediately came to her aid, urging her to come to his place for acupuncture to heal faster. Lily initially believed the injury would resolve on its own by nightfall, but Ye Jiahui insisted that without timely treatment, it could swell significantly and take over two weeks to recover, prompting Lily to accept his help.
Meanwhile, Qian Kaiyi sought He Dun's assistance at the wedding reception of his good friend, Kang Ziyuan, and Shasha. He explained that Shasha, resentful of Kang Ziyuan's compromise on a "Chinese and Western" wedding style when she desired a purely Western ceremony, had locked herself in her room, and their arguments had been escalating since the previous night.
After quickly dealing with a wine stain on her clothes, which had been splashed by Fang Yuxuan earlier, He Dun approached the locked room where Shasha was holed up. She efficiently dispersed the worried parents and in-laws who were gathered outside, then spoke to Shasha through the door. He Dun commiserated with Shasha about the difficulties women face and jokingly offered to vent Shasha's anger by "beating" Qian Kaiyi for her.
This gesture, along with her persistent request for slippers for her aching feet, eventually convinced Shasha to open the door. Inside, He Dun greeted Shasha warmly and noticed her intricate drawings. After gaining permission, she praised Shasha's artistic talent, acknowledging that Shasha considered herself merely someone who "draws to scrape a living." He Dun then initiated a discussion about subconscious expression through art.
Using a simple drawing of a circle above a line, which Shasha interpreted as a sun, He Dun illustrated how drawing can reveal a deep longing for warmth. He Dun explained the concept of psychological projection drawing, or the House, Tree, and Person test, as a tool to understand inner thoughts. She empathized with Shasha's difficulty in verbally expressing her feelings to Kang Ziyuan and encouraged her to use drawing as an alternative means of communication.
He Dun then took Shasha's drawing outside to explain its hidden meanings to Kang Ziyuan and the gathered family members. She pointed out that Shasha's horizontally placed paper indicated a desire for stability. The house, drawn first, signified family as Shasha's top priority, but its stable internal structure and double defenses suggested a strong guard and a lack of security.
While the door was locked, the presence of windows revealed Shasha's underlying desire to communicate, even if she wished others would initiate it. Flashbacks of Kang Ziyuan excitedly planning their new home with an eighty-five-inch TV, oblivious to Shasha's silent discomfort, underscored his failure to consider her feelings. He Dun further analyzed how Shasha's self-portrait depicted her mouth as a line, indicating unspoken words. Kang Ziyuan, drawn opposite her, showed mutual affection but a disconnect in understanding.
The drawing also featured a woman (Kang Ziyuan's mother) standing close to Kang Ziyuan with strong lines, signifying Shasha's intense emotional reaction to her perceived influence over Kang Ziyuan. Crucially, all the other figures in the drawing were depicted without ears, symbolizing a profound lack of listening within the family. He Dun concluded that the drawing served as Shasha's emotional release, conveying everything she struggled to articulate.
Inspired by He Dun's interpretation, Qian Kaiyi took Kang Ziyuan's mother, his godmother, aside. She expressed her frustration, feeling unappreciated despite her efforts to make the wedding lively. Qian Kaiyi reassured her, acknowledging her hard work and recalling her kindness from his childhood. Shasha's father then intervened, apologizing for his daughter's temper, explaining that her spoiled nature stemmed from his past neglect due to work, and asking for Kang Ziyuan's patience.
Kang Ziyuan, in turn, apologized to Shasha's father, admitting his own shortcomings and reaffirming his love for Shasha. Kang Ziyuan's mother, however, voiced her continued worries about the couple's maturity and their reliance on her. Qian Kaiyi subtly reminded her that Kang Ziyuan needed to grow to eventually care for her. Kang Ziyuan's mother, accepting the need for the couple to navigate their own lives, urged Kang Ziyuan to communicate openly with Shasha.
Kang Ziyuan then approached Shasha, expressing regret for his past insensitivity and acknowledging his failure to truly consider her feelings, realizing that a wedding wasn't just a formality but a true home for them. Guided by He Dun's gentle encouragement to empathize with Kang Ziyuan's perspective, Shasha in turn admitted her capriciousness and expressed regret for not appreciating his and his mother's efforts. The couple tearfully embraced, having reconciled their differences.
Shasha thanked He Dun for her intervention, remarking on her unique ability to make Kang Ziyuan see reason. As the happy couple headed for the reception, Shasha offered He Dun a spare dress or at least a hairdryer for her damp clothes, which was the result of Fang Yuxuan's earlier wine incident. He Dun declined the dress, opting to just dry her clothes.
While He Dun was in Shasha's room to dry her clothes, Fang Yuxuan locked the door from the outside, trapping her. Later, during the bouquet toss, Fang Yuxuan caught the flowers and brazenly declared her love for Qian Kaiyi in front of all the guests. She spoke of her lingering feelings, reminiscing about their time together at the radio station, how Qian Kaiyi had taught her, and cared for her when she was sick.
Qian Kaiyi, visibly uncomfortable and wanting to avoid a scene at his friend's wedding, tried to leave, but Fang Yuxuan pursued him, accusing him of not daring to admit his feelings or of having fallen for He Dun instead. She passionately recounted her sacrifices for him, including making lunchboxes and waiting for him in the rain.
As other guests tried to calm her, Fang Yuxuan escalated the situation by revealing that Shasha had called Kang Ziyuan a "mommy's boy" the night before. Qian Kaiyi firmly rejected Fang Yuxuan, telling her he would not get back together with her and to stop making a scene. Just then, He Dun, having changed into a stunning white dress, descended like a savior. She confidently declared herself Qian Kaiyi's girlfriend, effectively shutting down Fang Yuxuan's advances.
When Fang Yuxuan tried to question the authenticity of their relationship, He Dun revealed that Fang Yuxuan herself had a boyfriend, whose name was on the wedding invitation for Shasha, an invitation her boyfriend had never received. He Dun pressed Fang Yuxuan to choose between making a bigger public spectacle or leaving gracefully. Faced with exposure and public disapproval, Fang Yuxuan left in humiliation.
He Dun then gracefully addressed the guests, transforming the awkward situation into a poignant moment about love's journey, acknowledging the diverse backgrounds and inevitable conflicts of the newlyweds, but emphasizing how love fosters growth. She concluded by wishing Kang Ziyuan and Shasha a lifetime of happiness, earning applause from the relieved attendees, and the wedding resumed with the couple sharing a romantic kiss.
As He Dun and Qian Kaiyi left the wedding, He Dun received an urgent call from the community security, informing her that her mother, Ms. Zhao, had fallen and was injured at home. He Dun rushed back, with Qian Kaiyi following closely. Upon arrival, they found Ms. Zhao's ankle being treated by Ye Jiahui with acupuncture. Ms. Zhao explained she had fallen while rushing to property management after a power outage.
Ms. Zhao confirmed she was recovering well and thanked Ye Jiahui for his help, after which he departed. Ms. Zhao, still recovering, noticed Qian Kaiyi and delightedly questioned He Dun about her "male friend." She was overjoyed, believing her daughter's romantic prospects were finally looking up. Qian Kaiyi capitalized on the opportunity, praising He Dun's abilities and kindness, and quickly fixed the household's tripped circuit breaker.
He then offered his personal number for any future repairs or assistance, much to Ms. Zhao's excitement and He Dun's growing exasperation. Ms. Zhao, proud of her daughter's newfound "boyfriend," regaled Qian Kaiyi with tales of her own past, downplaying He Dun's attempts to stop her. Unable to tolerate Qian Kaiyi's enthusiastic flattery and her mother's matchmaking efforts any longer, He Dun physically pulled him out of the house, despite his attempts to prolong their stay.
Outside, He Dun confronted Qian Kaiyi about the wedding fiasco, clarifying that her actions were purely professional and not a sign of romantic interest, instructing him to manage his ex-girlfriend's behavior to prevent further harm. Qian Kaiyi playfully teased her, suggesting her anger indicated jealousy, which He Dun vehemently denied, though her frustration was clear. As the elevator arrived, He Dun urged him to leave, eager to end their awkward conversation.
A radio program was later heard, where the host, Haiyang, read a listener's message about finding love again after past struggles and regret over meeting their loved one too late. The message emphasized believing in life's infinite possibilities and unexpected beauty, like a golden music box, with sweet melodies of love.
