Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao pressed Luo Yan for not clarifying the truth about the bus incident, especially since she had fought back against the pervert. Luo Yan explained that she withheld the information because she believed it would only make her friends more upset with Liang Shuang. She argued that people were only interested in protecting "warriors," not merely victims, and felt that once a video was out, no one would listen to her side.
They were also upset with Liang Shuang for not speaking up, despite knowing the truth. Determined to clear Luo Yan's name, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao visited the transportation company to retrieve the bus surveillance footage. The staff informed them they lacked the authority to provide the video without police presence. Noticing a repair order for a broken toilet on a desk, Duan Jiabao, whose family owned a toilet manufacturing business, offered to send two new toilets to the company.
However, the staff still refused their request, reiterating the need for police involvement. The two then sought police assistance, which allowed them to finally obtain the full surveillance video. After watching the complete video, they discovered that Luo Yan had pushed Liang Shuang away to protect her, and then kicked the pervert. They recorded the full truth video on their phones and uploaded it online, but it received minimal attention.
Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao felt disheartened, expecting the video to instantly turn public opinion, but they found that no one seemed interested in the actual truth. Jiang Xiaoguo suggested that Liang Shuang, who was quite popular on social media with daily lipstick swatching posts, might help by sharing the video.
Duan Jiabao speculated that Liang Shuang's current popularity and apparent wealth, evidenced by her frequent and expensive lipstick posts, were likely due to gaining advertising deals after the bus incident went viral. As they discussed their dilemma, Luo Yan, who had been listening from behind, was moved by their dedication to her. She embraced them, and Jiang Xiaoguo, refusing to give up, vowed to fight for the truth until the very end.
That night, for Jiang Xiaoguo's birthday, the three friends (Luo Yan, Duan Jiabao, and Jiang Xiaoguo herself) playfully woke Liang Shuang in the middle of the night to sing "Happy Birthday" to Jiang Xiaoguo, primarily as a prank on Liang Shuang. The next morning, before heading to work, Jiang Xiaoguo bought breakfast at a bakery that offered a small complimentary cake to birthday members. Upon arriving at the office, she placed her cake in the pantry refrigerator.
As she approached her desk, her colleagues surprised her with a cake and a birthday song. Jiang Xiaoguo was initially delighted, thinking it was for her, only to realize that the celebration was for Yang Xiaorong, who shared the same birthday. Meanwhile, Duan Jiabao faced issues at work concerning Ouyang Yushuang, an artist she managed who had limited fame and status. Company policy typically dictated economy class travel and standard hotel accommodations for such artists.
However, to curry favor with Ouyang Yushuang, Duan Jiabao personally paid to upgrade her flight to first class and housed her in a five-star hotel. This caused discontent among other artists, particularly Fei, managed by Sally, who expressed her anger to President Qian. President Qian, after reassuring Fei, called Duan Jiabao to apologize. After Fei and Sally left, President Qian questioned Duan Jiabao about the extravagant arrangements.
Duan Jiabao confessed that she paid for everything herself, explaining that she was uncomfortable leaving Ouyang Yushuang in economy class alone during a three-hour flight and enjoyed the luxuries of a five-star hotel. President Qian, although surprised by Duan Jiabao's wealth, warned her that her actions had violated company rules and created an unfair precedent.
He handed her a gift box and instructed her to deliver it to Fei, along with booking the largest VIP spa room at a friend's establishment as an apology. Liang Shuang, who had genuinely rejected the cosmetic advertisement over derogatory remarks about Luo Yan, had consequently not earned any money. To maintain her daily lipstick swatching posts, she had been visiting stores, trying on lipsticks, and only taking photos without making purchases.
After several such instances, a store assistant became visibly annoyed. Duan Jiabao spotted Liang Shuang testing lipsticks and immediately recorded a video on her phone, sending it to Jiang Xiaoguo. Jiang Xiaoguo asked for the address and decided to meet Liang Shuang at the mall. Before leaving the office, Jiang Xiaoguo went to the pantry to retrieve her birthday cake, only to find that Zhou Xun was eating it, mistaking it for Yang Xiaorong's.
The situation became awkward when Jiang Xiaoguo pulled out her birthday card from the cake box. Zhou Xun, realizing his mistake, stiffly wished her a happy birthday and quickly departed after a brief, forced conversation. Jiang Xiaoguo then rushed to the mall, found Liang Shuang, and to her surprise, Liang Shuang readily agreed to forward the truth video. Back at the office, Yang Xiaorong discovered Jiang Xiaoguo’s birthday card in the pantry.
She called Jiang Xiaoguo over, gave her a new lipstick as a gift, and shared a cake with her. Jiang Xiaoguo was touched by her kindness. As they chatted, Yang Xiaorong confided in Jiang Xiaoguo about feeling stuck in her career at her age, caught between older and younger generations. She also offered Jiang Xiaoguo some valuable advice, urging her to avoid being overly ambitious and to conserve her energy in the early stages of her career.
Yang Xiaorong later presented Jiang Xiaoguo's project proposal to Zhou Xun, who expressed interest. Judy attempted to seize the project, but Yang Xiaorong firmly insisted on collaborating with Jiang Xiaoguo to complete it. After some consideration, Zhou Xun assigned Yang Xiaorong to lead the project. Upon Luo Yan's return to the dorm, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao joyfully informed her that Liang Shuang had forwarded the truth video.
Although it hadn't gone viral, the tide of public opinion was beginning to turn. Luo Yan, pleased with the news, suggested they celebrate at "Same Place." While the three friends enjoyed their meal, Liang Shuang was alone in the dormitory, deep in thought. She had paid a 10,000 yuan breach of contract fee to the advertiser she refused, leaving her financially strained.
The "Miss Chanel" Weibo account that had initially defended Luo Yan in the comments was, in fact, Liang Shuang's anonymous secondary account. Despite her outwardly tough demeanor, Liang Shuang harbored a kind and gentle heart, remembering her grandmother’s advice to secretly do good deeds, and continued her efforts to help Luo Yan. Later, the three friends playfully named themselves "TYTO" (Too Young Too Old), a name they felt perfectly captured their current transitional phase between student life and adulthood.
The following day marked the final match of Duan Zhenyu’s fencing competition. Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan joined Duan Jiabao to cheer him on. Duan Zhenyu's opponent, Liu Ziqi, was a formidable competitor, and the scores remained close throughout the match. However, during the intense competition, Duan Zhenyu's old injury flared up. In his eagerness to attack, he left himself vulnerable, allowing his opponent to find an opening. Tragically, he lost the match by a single point.
Afterward, a doctor diagnosed Duan Zhenyu with a tennis elbow fracture, assuring them it was not severe and would heal in about four weeks with proper care. Duan Jiabao, in her concern, angrily told her brother to stop fencing, but he defiantly insisted on continuing his athletic career. Despite her outward frustration, Duan Jiabao immediately ordered a month's supply of bone soup from Xiong to aid her brother's recovery.
As she was making arrangements for Duan Zhenyu, Jiang Xiaoguo mentioned that she, too, would "have someone to serve on." Jiang Xiaoguo then went to Shenzhen Pingshan High-speed Railway Station, where her mother arrived, bringing a "good thing" to show off to Aunt Zhao.
