Gu Xiao called Xiao Shan, but she didn’t answer. Eventually, he couldn’t hold back and went out to apologize in person, bringing a carefully prepared gift to win her over. Seeing his effort, Xiao Shan’s anger mostly subsided, and her attitude softened. Just then, someone sent a video call request. Gu Xiao picked up his phone, feeling conflicted—should he answer or not? After repeated urging from Xiao Shan, Gu Xiao had no choice but to answer.

As expected, a young woman’s voice came through, coquettishly calling him “Brother Gu Xiao. ” With Xiao Shan right next to him, Gu Xiao couldn’t talk freely. Xiao Shan sarcastically teased him before getting up and leaving. Because of this, Gu Xiao completely lost interest in the video call and shut off his phone. Lin Zhixiao mustered her courage to wait for Gu Wei in the hallway, coinciding with lunchtime. She quickly texted Xiao Shan for a good restaurant recommendation.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shan booked a couple’s seat for her, complete with candles, flower petals, and a specially recommended couple’s set meal—making the scene incredibly awkward. To avoid misunderstanding, Lin Zhixiao tried to explain but didn’t know where to start. In a panic, she handed over the red envelope she had prepared and rushed out the door like the wind. Gu Wei realized Lin Zhixiao had misunderstood the reason he refused to do the surgery.

So he returned to the hospital and asked Dr. Du to refund the money. After all, he’d be transferring departments in a few days and wouldn’t be involved anymore. The next morning, Lin’s mother noticed an extra amount in the medical card and rushed to discuss it with her daughter. Lin Zhixiao shamelessly pestered Gu Wei, bombarding him with questions and bothering him constantly. Originally planning to use Dr. Du as a shield, Gu Wei found that Dr.

Du completely lacked social awareness. In the end, Gu Wei hid in the bathroom while Lin Zhixiao waited outside. The department head saw Gu Wei’s dilemma, understanding that deep down, he truly wanted to operate on Lin Jianguo but feared failure or falling short of expectations.

Since Gu Wei didn’t show up for a long time, Lin Zhixiao returned to the ward to care for her father—just in time to see Qiu Qiu crying and refusing surgery unless Gu Wei stayed with him. Upon hearing this, Gu Wei called the doctor, and although it was abrupt, he still hoped Dr. Yan would let him into the operating room.

On the day of the surgery, Gu Wei stood by, simulating the entire process to overcome his inner fear, and finally, the operation ended successfully. Dr. Du, struggling with a medical book several hundred pages thick, asked Gu Wei to highlight the key points. His half-hearted attitude earned him a stern reprimand. Gu Wei reminded him that as the attending physician, he must devote himself wholeheartedly to the patient and carefully handle every detail. Dr.

Du dared not talk back and listened respectfully, realizing his work ethic was lacking, so he could only bow his head and take the scolding. Lin Zhixiao’s persistence in clinging to Gu Wei also moved him, and he eventually revealed the real reason he avoided surgery. His mentor Liang Zhou once had pancreatitis and was hospitalized. Gu Wei, confident as the lead surgeon, had promised a full recovery.

Though the surgery initially seemed successful, Liang Zhou’s condition suddenly worsened a few days later, and he passed away. Since then, Gu Wei hadn’t dared to step into an operating room or touch a scalpel. He couldn’t guarantee that Lin Jianguo’s surgery would go smoothly. After hearing his story, Lin Zhixiao didn’t press further but instead changed the topic to lighten the mood. That night, Lin Zhixiao sat by her father’s bed chatting, which helped ease the tension between them.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiao got drunk at a bar and, in a daze, thought he saw Xiao Shan sitting opposite him. When he woke up again, he found words written on his face by her. Students from Huaqing University came to visit Lin Jianguo in the hospital. Unaware of his stomach cancer, he was full of spirit and joked with them.

After hearing from Xiao Shan about his condition, a female classmate remarked on how much Lin Zhixiao had changed—more mature and composed. She also brought good news: the principal cellist was suddenly unavailable for the summer performance, and she suggested that Lin Zhixiao step in as a substitute, giving her a chance to shine. Full of hope, Lin Zhixiao returned to school, only to hear the orchestra teacher announce they didn’t need a cellist for now, leaving her extremely disappointed.

Crushed by her shattered musical dream, Lin Zhixiao stood alone on the rooftop in sorrow. Sensing her distress, Gu Wei approached to talk. To Lin Zhixiao, she lacked musical talent and only had passion. She had dreamed of joining the orchestra as a cellist, but things didn’t go her way. Life is full of disappointments—Gu Wei, for example, never imagined he’d be the one to destroy his mentor. A severe postoperative hemorrhage had tragically ended that life.

Lin Zhixiao realized that Gu Wei was someone who liked to be in control, believing he could change the world through his own strength. This made him feel even more responsible and powerless when things went wrong. Just moments earlier, Gu Wei had been comforting Lin Zhixiao. Now the roles were reversed as she enthusiastically motivated him. She believed that if Gu Wei could overcome his mental block, he would find a bright future ahead.

After all, Gu Wei was a naturally gifted person—if she had his talent, she would forge ahead and aim for the world stage. After their conversation, Lin Zhixiao returned to the ward with food. While her father was eating, she went to the hospital corridor, once again gathering her courage and telling herself never to give up on music. Although she had been rejected by the orchestra teacher, she continued to study music diligently whenever she had time and proactively messaged the teacher, hoping her sincerity would win them over.
