Gu Wei sat dejectedly in his office, looking at the medical motto notebook his late teacher had given him, replaying recent events in his mind. Online public opinion had made his situation unbearable. The cyberattacks grew more intense, forcing him to retreat from practicing publicly. The department head, seeing the severe impact, told Gu Wei to step back from all duties, including patient consultations. Gu Wei, realizing he wasn’t in the right mental state, agreed to the arrangement.

At the same time, Lin Zhixiao returned home to find Lin Jianguo dressed in a formal suit, looking overly serious, which made her laugh. She walked toward the kitchen, suggesting that he change into something more casual—being overdressed didn’t suit him. Lin Zhixiao’s mother, busy cooking, had learned about Gu Wei’s cilantro allergy and made substitutions. She asked Lin Zhixiao to notify Gu Wei quickly.

As dinner time approached, Lin Zhixiao went downstairs to meet Gu Wei and found the gift they had bought earlier in the trunk. She hadn’t yet noticed his troubled expression. Gu Wei tried to speak several times, planning to tell her the truth, but Lin Jianguo came down too and urged them to come inside. Lin Zhixiao’s mother had prepared a full meal for Gu Wei, and Lin Jianguo bombarded him with questions about his background and education.

Satisfied with the answers, he eased up. Gu Wei wanted to use the opportunity to talk about his job situation, but before he could speak, Lin Jianguo asked when he planned to marry Lin Zhixiao. Gu Wei was absent-minded and didn’t respond right away. Lin Zhixiao nudged him, pulling him back to the moment. After a brief hesitation, Gu Wei explained that marriage was a major life decision.

Lin Zhixiao was still young, and his own job was unstable, so they needed more time to plan. Lin Jianguo’s expression turned grim—clearly unhappy with that response. Lin Zhixiao’s mother quickly tried to smooth things over, and Lin Zhixiao chimed in, trying to change the subject. But Lin Jianguo pressed on, asking Gu Wei to promise in front of the elders that he would take good care of Lin Zhixiao. This request was met with silence.

Seeing Gu Wei distracted, Lin Zhixiao thought it was because of work stress. She gently held his hand to offer comfort. To her surprise, Gu Wei pulled his hand back and solemnly told Lin Jianguo that he couldn't make such a promise. His words chilled the atmosphere. Lin Jianguo, face darkened, said if Gu Wei had no intention of caring for Lin Zhixiao, then there was no point in coming for dinner.

Gu Wei gave a bitter smile, agreed with him, and got up to leave without saying another word. Lin Zhixiao knew Gu Wei wouldn’t act out of emotion for no reason, so she rushed after him, eager to know what was really going on. But Gu Wei refused to explain, and their relationship came to an abrupt end.

Even though Lin Jianguo demanded that his daughter break up with Gu Wei, Lin Zhixiao still defended him in front of her parents, then went back to her room in tears. That night, Xiao Shan ran into one of Gu Xiao’s friends. As Gu Xiao hadn’t shown up, she called him, but his phone was off. Gu Xiao had lost a lot of money in a failed investment with friends and had mortgaged the café.

Unable to face Xiao Shan, he went home to his father. Gu Xiao’s father knew him well—he wouldn’t come home without a reason. Seeing through his intentions, he mocked him coldly. Gu Xiao humbled himself, begging for financial help and promising to do anything, even go abroad the next day, if his father agreed to invest. Seeing his son so changed, Gu Xiao’s father softened and eventually agreed to lend him the money.

After receiving it, Gu Xiao left without a word and went abroad with his father. Xiao Shan, unaware of the café situation, called again only to find the phone turned off. Gu Wei packed his things and moved out overnight, turning off his phone as well. Before leaving, he went to the hospital to see Dr. Du. Meanwhile, Lin Zhixiao couldn’t reach Gu Wei and cried her eyes swollen.

She went to his apartment in the morning and knocked, but there was no response. Her mother happened to be returning from outside, and they went to a nearby breakfast shop. Lin Zhixiao, holding back tears, told her mother she wouldn’t change her plans to go abroad because of Gu Wei—but as she spoke, she couldn’t help but cry. Deputy Director Gao also couldn’t contact Gu Wei, so he asked Dr. Du for any clues. Dr.

Du recalled seeing Gu Wei recently and remembered some confusing words he said, which only deepened his concern. Deputy Director Gao gave Dr. Du half a day off to find Gu Wei as soon as possible. Gao Xi also followed. The higher-ups sent an investigation team to the hospital for a meeting. Gu Wei’s absence angered the patient’s family, who accused him of being guilty and ignoring authority. Dr. Yan said their words were too harsh and that no one should humiliate a doctor before a formal conclusion, but the patient’s father remained aggressive.
