Zuo Qiandai confirmed that there was nothing going on between Ye Qi and Lu Dao, but she accidentally discovered that another main character in Ye Qi's manga was actually based on Gu Zhengxing. She went to Ye Qi to ask about his relationship with Gu Zhengxing. Ye Qi explained how they had met—at a time when many people had rejected his work, Gu Zhengxing was the only one who thought his comics were good.

As they talked, the two began discussing the topic of criticizing others' work. Ye Qi angrily told Zuo Qiandai that if anyone dared to criticize his manga, he would make sure they paid for it. His tone suggested he might even get physical, which scared Zuo Qiandai. Secretly, she prayed that Ye Qi would never find out she had once criticized his comics.

Ye Qi felt that Lu Dao wasn't a suitable model for a manga character and asked Zuo Qiandai to look for someone else around her. Zuo Qiandai struggled internally—on one hand, she wanted to recommend herself; on the other, she felt embarrassed being observed by Ye Qi all the time. In the end, she still recommended herself. Inspired by the idea, Ye Qi happily agreed and thought Zuo Qiandai was a great fit as a character model.

As Ye Qi’s model, Zuo Qiandai was constantly under his watchful eye, which made her so awkward that she even forgot how to walk properly. Ye Qi observed her in great detail, even during class. When the teacher asked a question, many students raised their hands. Not wanting Ye Qi to think she was a poor student, Zuo Qiandai decided to participate. Thinking she wouldn't be chosen among all the Chinese students, she was surprised when the teacher picked her.

Standing up silently at first, she ended up accidentally answering the question correctly. Zuo Qiandai wanted to build a fun and likable persona in front of Ye Qi, so she took the initiative to befriend the people around her, hoping Ye Qi would think she was popular. While eating with Ye Qi, Zuo Qiandai secretly rejoiced, thinking Ye Qi had finally started to notice her.

Ye Qi showed her the complete personality profile he had compiled based on his observations of her. However, none of the traits Zuo Qiandai tried hard to show were included. Instead, it was filled with negative observations—flaws in her from head to toe. She hoped Ye Qi could at least include a few strengths, fearing that no one would like the character if it was based entirely on her shortcomings.

Worried that Ye Qi would continue to notice her flaws and that it might ruin her chances of pursuing him, Zuo Qiandai decided to introduce her friend Zhou Jieyue to Ye Qi. Just as she was looking for her, Zhou Jieyue happened to be running away from someone. It turned out Zhou Jieyue was an athletic girl. She had to attend a club activity, and Ye Qi developed a bit of interest in her.

He and Zuo Qiandai decided to go watch Zhou Jieyue's club event, where they ran into Ye Qi’s classmate Jiang Ruosong. That’s when Zuo Qiandai learned that Ye Qi used to play basketball but quit to protect his drawing hand. Inside the gym, Gu Zhengxing's eerie laughter echoed—Zhou Jieyue’s laugh was quite terrifying. It turned out her club activity involved playing basketball with Jiang Ruosong's team.

After observing, Ye Qi concluded that Zhou Jieyue would make a good example of a negative character. After watching, Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai were about to leave when it suddenly started to rain. Caught in the downpour, Ye Qi found some creative inspiration. As the two walked under an umbrella in the rain, they felt very safe together. Zuo Qiandai secretly hoped they could walk like this forever.

Just then, Ye Qi voiced the exact same thought she had in her heart. That evening, while Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai were discussing things at home, Jiang Ruosong suddenly burst into Ye Qi’s house, looking panicked and trying to hide from Gu Zhengxing.
