Because those villagers were ungrateful and jealous of others’ success, stirring up trouble, the village director was furious and called them ungrateful traitors. Huang Xinxin demanded they delete the videos, warning that no investors would come if they didn’t. She also publicly shared the county meeting’s conclusion that anyone meeting the “Three Guarantees” criteria could apply to start a business. She emphasized that improving villagers’ lives didn’t mean blindly developing tourist attractions—it was crucial to preserve local cultural features.

After all, over the years, Xie Zhiyao had tirelessly worked to build roads and bridges for Yunmiao Village. He didn’t accept the investors’ conditions because he didn’t want the village to turn into a fake ancient town, which would ultimately harm the villagers and erase its original charm. Everything the director and Huang Xinxin said was true.

The troublemakers, realizing they were in the wrong, reluctantly went to the construction site to apologize to Xu Hongdou, only to be chased away by Grandpa Yang with a cane. It turned out he had been sent by Anai to guard the site for Xu Hongdou, and she deeply admired Anai for that. That night, Xu Hongdou returned to the inn and ignored Xie Zhiyao, going straight to her room.

Hu Youyu drank alone in the yard to drown his sorrow, telling Xie Zhiyao that he had truly fallen in love with Bai Manjun but didn’t know how to tell his parents. Upon learning they hadn’t even started dating, Xie Zhiyao didn’t bother responding. Unwilling to sit back and do nothing, Xie Zhiyao wrote an apology letter to Xu Hongdou with a sincere and humble attitude. She finally calmed down.

Even so, Xie Zhiyao made sure to vent her anger by taking Hu Youyu to the ringleader’s home and painting graffiti on his door with white paint. The news quickly spread throughout Yunmiao Village. Anai and the aunties all praised the move. Even though the villager was furious, he didn’t dare retaliate—after all, he started it. Xu Hongdou had planned to return to Beijing to deal with a rental issue.

On the way to the airport, Xie Zhiyao received a call that Xie Huailan had been hospitalized due to sudden heart failure. Though she survived the critical stage after emergency treatment, she hadn’t regained consciousness. Xu Hongdou accompanied Xie Zhiyao to the hospital. Seeing his usually serene and kind teacher lying on the bed, he felt deeply saddened. Thankfully, Xu Hongdou was by his side, giving him a sense of support in his helplessness.

Xie Huailan eventually woke up but was still very weak. Believing she didn’t have much time left, she left some final words before slipping back into a coma. After some time recovering, she was discharged from the hospital. Xu Hongdou noted how most people have regrets at the end of their lives, but Xie Huailan seemed fearless.

However, when Xie Huailan heard Xu Hongdou say this, she smiled slightly and shared that she once received a call from her French lover, who told her he was getting married. She didn’t have the courage to wish him happiness—perhaps that was her regret. Xie Zhiyao joked that she was “love-brained. ” In truth, when reflecting on life, people often chase material things, but in their final moments, it’s the warmth of love that they miss most.

That alone is enough to carry them through. After finishing up affairs in Beijing, Xie Zhiyao helped Xu Hongdou with her rental issue. They stayed in the five-star hotel where Xu Hongdou used to work. Her former colleagues were thrilled to see her doing well. Xu Hongdou packed her regular clothes to bring back to Yunmiao Village, signaling her decision to settle there long-term. Looking back, it all felt a bit surreal.

She deliberately wore her old manager suit dress, stunning Xie Zhiyao. Overcome with emotion, they embraced, kissed, and spent the night together.
