Lin Jianguo had begun coughing up blood, and likewise, Lin Zhixiao could clearly sense something was wrong. However, she knew her father's temperament well, so after much consideration, she decided to try persuading him to undergo another examination. Unfortunately, Lin Jianguo insisted that he was fine, unwilling to face the truth, and even became furious, shouting his daughter out of the room.

At that moment, Gu Wei happened to pass by the ward and saw Lin Zhixiao coming out of the room crying. Lin Jianguo went alone to the front desk to ask the nurse for paper and pen, insisting on being discharged. Seeing this, Gu Wei stepped forward to remind Lin Jianguo to think more about his family. If he left now and something happened later, his wife and daughter would live with eternal regret.

Gu Wei’s words made Lin Jianguo suddenly realize the seriousness of the situation. His hand holding the pen paused. Knowing his words had worked, Gu Wei turned and left. Later, when Lin’s mother returned to the ward and found out that Lin Jianguo had voluntarily agreed to undergo the examination, she and her daughter were overjoyed. Initially puzzled, Lin Zhixiao saw Gu Wei standing not far away and understood his involvement.

As the detailed examination report came out, it confirmed that Lin Jianguo had stomach cancer. Fortunately, it was detected early and could still be treated. Lin Zhixiao and her mother were deeply distressed. To avoid upsetting Lin Jianguo, they concealed the truth from him, telling him it was a severe gastric ulcer and urging him to rest well in the hospital. Lin’s mother later found a whole box of cigarettes under the bed and angrily scolded Lin Jianguo.

Lin Zhixiao witnessed this and felt heartbroken, leaving the room in tears. Qiu Qiu saw Lin Zhixiao heading to the rooftop. Not knowing how to comfort her, he found an excuse to bring Gu Wei over. As a doctor, Gu Wei could only use his medical knowledge to explain that Lin Jianguo had a high chance of recovery due to the early diagnosis and timely treatment. Lin Zhixiao understood Gu Wei’s point and did her best to suppress her grief.

Since they weren't close enough for him to offer too many words, he simply handed her an earbud, hoping music would help her relax. As a music major, Lin Zhixiao was especially familiar with cello pieces. She immediately recognized Brahms' Double Concerto and even knew the story of Mischa Maisky. This legendary musician, born during wartime and faced with a turbulent life, never gave up on his musical dream. He became a spiritual mentor encouraging Lin Zhixiao to persist. Dr.

Yan, the surgeon in charge of Lin Jianguo’s operation, explained the treatment plan to Lin’s mother and daughter after being introduced by Gao Xi. Based on Lin Jianguo’s condition, he decided on a radical total gastrectomy, meaning the entire stomach would be removed. Lin’s mother couldn't accept this, while Lin Zhixiao suggested using Gu Wei’s surgical plan in hopes of preserving part of the stomach. But Dr.

Yan flatly rejected the suggestion, firmly believing in his own medical philosophy that sought to eliminate all possible risks of postoperative recurrence. After Dr. Yan left, Lin Zhixiao proactively asked Gao Xi to let Dr. Gu perform the surgery instead. Gao Xi agreed happily, seeing it as an opportunity to retain Gu Wei. To sincerely win over Gu Wei, Lin’s mother paid out of her own pocket and asked her daughter to buy gifts.

That afternoon, Lin Zhixiao arrived with bags full of presents, attentively reminding Gu Wei that he was overworking and should eat more fruit and supplements to nourish himself. Gu Wei ignored her and continued focusing on his work, but Lin Zhixiao’s enthusiasm remained undiminished. She even recommended various hair-growth supplements, insisting hair care should start early to avoid a receding hairline. Hearing this, Gu Wei couldn’t bear it anymore and curtly said he didn’t need them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhixiao pulled out a box of kidney-tonifying supplements, claiming it was essential for men in their thirties. With Lin Zhixiao chattering nonstop beside him, Gu Wei was completely exasperated and scared her off with a sharp glare. Gao Xi, seeing Lin Zhixiao standing at the door, realized her plan had failed and went into the office alone. She expressed willingness to accompany Gu Wei in academic pursuits and unconsciously held his hand, revealing her affection.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhixiao suddenly pushed the door open and saw the affectionate scene between Gao Xi and Gu Wei. Just as she was about to leave tactfully, Gu Wei quickly found an excuse to call her back. Lin Zhixiao, perceptive as always, cooperated by sitting down nearby, prompting Gao Xi to leave awkwardly. Watching Gao Xi walk away, Lin Zhixiao nosily speculated about her relationship with Gu Wei.

Using washing oranges as an excuse, Gu Wei sent her away and then brought Lin Jianguo’s report to Dr. Yan, hoping he would consider a distal gastrectomy. Dr. Yan, already critical of Gu Wei, was further displeased by his interference. He insisted that while both plans had risks, his was more suitable for Lin Jianguo. Meanwhile, Lin Zhixiao met with Xiao Shan outside the hospital, worried about her father's surgery.

She had hoped Gu Wei would agree to operate, but he persistently refused, and she didn’t trust Dr. Yan. Hearing this, Xiao Shan suggested trying a different approach to persuade Gu Wei. Xiao Shan, believing that money could solve everything, including the seemingly aloof and proper Gu Wei, thought a fat red envelope would surely work. Inexperienced in such matters, Lin Zhixiao followed her advice.

She practiced repeatedly in front of Gu Wei’s office on how to express her sincerity tactfully, only to be caught in the act by Gu Wei himself. Hearing Gu Wei’s voice behind her, Lin Zhixiao awkwardly turned around and, taking advantage of his distraction, ran off in embarrassment. Watching her quirky behavior, Gu Wei didn’t feel annoyed at all but instead couldn’t help laughing.
