Before leaving, Xu Hongdou personally visited the cemetery to see her best friend Chen Nanxing. Sitting in front of the tombstone, she showed the photos from her trip to Yunnan. Each picture had a story, enough to tell slowly, as if they had taken the journey together, occasionally filled with old memories. Meanwhile, since Xu Hongdou left, Xie Zhiyao had become irritable and gradually lost patience with neighborhood mediation. Everyone noticed the change in him.

The once gentle and shy Xie Zhiyao seemed to have left with Xu Hongdou. Now, he was like a soulless young man, always anxious and uncertain. Months later, Xu Hongdou finally returned to her long-lost home. Her parents made her zhajiang noodles. From Yunnan customs to updates about the Chen family, there was no end to the conversation. Late at night, Xu Hongdou lay in bed browsing social media, feeling lost.

Despite caring deeply for each other, neither she nor Xie Zhiyao had reached out. She didn’t know how to send the first message. Elsewhere, Xiaoqin couldn’t help complaining to Xie Zhiyao about her boyfriend’s lack of romantic sense. She had planned a birthday surprise, but he just went home to celebrate. When Champion tried to comfort her, Xiaoqin misunderstood, making Xie Zhiyao even more frustrated.

He urged Xiaoqin to break up and told her to forget relationship troubles and focus on her career. Hearing this, Xiaoqin cried even harder—she didn’t even have a career. After thinking it over, she suddenly asked Xie Zhiyao to marry her. He was so shocked he choked on a fish bone. Xiaoqin and Champion rushed him to the clinic.

Xie Zhiyao took a photo and posted it online, but after a whole night, he didn’t receive any likes or comments from Xu Hongdou, leaving him disappointed. Because Xu Hongdou wasn’t in Yunmiao Village, Xie Zhiyao couldn’t find the motivation to do anything. Xie Anai suggested he go to Beijing to see her and gave him her life savings. Seeing the amount in the bankbook, Xie Zhiyao was overwhelmed with emotion and deeply touched.

Sometimes, Xu Hongdou would talk to her parents about Xie Zhiyao. They noticed she liked the "grass of Yunmiao Village" and wondered why he was still single in his thirties, even suspecting a physical issue. Soon after, Xie Zhiyao received a box of peaches that Xu Hongdou mailed from Beijing. He was overjoyed and returned to his cheerful self, rallying everyone to take photos of themselves eating peaches to send back to her.

But this change in Xie Zhiyao was misunderstood by the aunts, who thought he had finally moved on and wasn’t obsessed with Xu Hongdou anymore. They lamented that men were heartless and said young women in the village didn’t want to marry early to avoid marrying scumbags. Recently, Hu Youyu and Bai Manjun had become increasingly close, and others could clearly see their budding romance. Cousin Kexin came to chat with Xu Hongdou.

When she saw the tiger-head shoes Xu Hongdou prepared for her, she immediately thought of their grandmother and teared up. Xu Hongdou learned that her mother had long known she resigned and wanted to talk to her about work. But her mother didn’t mind at all, as long as she was happy. That night, Xu Hongdou took the initiative to call Xie Zhiyao, and his familiar voice gave her peace of mind. Xie Zhiyao asked about her recent life.

Xu Hongdou said she was preparing to move and explained why she hadn’t responded that afternoon. Xie Zhiyao smiled upon hearing that. He also shared that the Shaohua Book House team would be coming to Yunmiao Village for an inspection, including some issues with the homestay transfer. Although he was facing many troubles, Xu Hongdou’s call brought him comfort, as if returning to the past, with blue skies, white clouds, and galloping hooves—where they could talk about anything.
