Before entering the operating room, Gu Wei promised Lin Zhixiao that he would do his best. During the long hours of waiting, Lin Zhixiao and her mother stayed outside the operating room. To ease her mother’s anxiety, Lin Zhixiao deliberately brought up stories from her parents' youth. As expected, her mother began reminiscing about the past, unconsciously revealing a look of happiness as she talked about it at length.

Even though many years had passed and the two were an old married couple, Lin Zhixiao’s mother still felt that meeting Lin Jianguo was the greatest fortune of her life. She lamented that people of the new era don’t understand love, often prioritizing appearances, while true love lies in what’s within, including the other person’s genuine affection. Fortunately, the surgery went very smoothly. Lin Jianguo only needed to stay in the hospital for observation.

If no further complications arose, he could soon be discharged. The mother and daughter of the Lin family let out a sigh of relief, finally lifting the heavy burden from their hearts. Meanwhile, when Gu Wei returned to his office, he found a sticky note on the doorknob—it was a message of thanks from Lin Zhixiao. In the following days, Lin Zhixiao cared for Lin Jianguo while practicing her cello in the ward, never forgetting to rehearse.

Coincidentally, Gu Wei witnessed this scene. That evening, when Gu Wei came to check the ward, he saw Lin Zhixiao asleep beside the bed. He gently picked up a coat and covered her, drawing a chuckle from Qiu Qiu in the neighboring bed. Knowing that Lin Zhixiao needed a space to practice the cello, Gu Wei took the opportunity of the hospital's charity music event to let her perform. Seeing the orchestra brought excitement to Lin Zhixiao.

After getting the conductor’s permission, she began to play the cello in public with confidence. Standing nearby, Gu Wei nodded and cast her an encouraging look, almost mesmerized. He stayed that way until Dr. Du came to remind him about patient rounds, forcing him to leave. After several performances, Lin Zhixiao significantly improved her cello skills and gained confidence. During an assessment, she received praise from the orchestra instructor and officially became a member of the orchestra.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Shan immediately called to congratulate Lin Zhixiao and asked about Lin Jianguo's condition. Lin Zhixiao mentioned that she owed her selection to Gu Wei's help and the opportunity he gave her to practice. But Xiao Shan, sensing something from the other end of the call, noted that Lin Zhixiao couldn’t go three sentences without mentioning Gu Wei, suspecting something was going on between them.

Due to Xiao Shan’s suspicion, Lin Zhixiao suddenly felt uneasy and ended the call with a random excuse. Meanwhile, Gu Xiao located Xiao Shan via her social media location and proposed that they open a bar together. Xiao Shan disagreed, thinking a café was the better choice. Since she was urgently looking for a job, she thought it over that night and decided to call Gu Xiao to discuss it in more detail the next day.

To celebrate becoming the orchestra’s cellist, Lin Zhixiao bought some snacks and cola. She visited Gu Wei during his free time, and the two of them sat on the rooftop, chatting and laughing in the evening breeze. Lin Zhixiao felt that after knowing each other for so long, they should at least be friends. She thought calling him "Dr.

Gu" seemed distant, but every nickname she came up with felt wrong—especially when she called him “Old Gu,” which nearly turned Gu Wei’s face as dark as coal. In the end, she went back to calling him “Dr. Gu,” just like how she called her father “Teacher Lin,” without affecting their relationship at all. In the ward, Lin Zhixiao’s mother was with Lin Jianguo. Hearing her daughter bring good news, she couldn't help but feel happy.

As the orchestra’s summer concert was approaching, Lin Zhixiao gave her parents two tickets. Even though her father might not be able to attend, she still extended the invitation. When Gao Xi came to check the ward, she also received a ticket from Lin Zhixiao, and on her behalf, delivered one to Gu Wei, mentioning that there might be a hospital meeting on the first of the next month.

Gu Wei accepted the ticket with an unconscious smile and placed it inside a book. Soon, it was Qiu Qiu’s discharge day. Before he left, the doctors bought a cake to celebrate his birthday, and Lin Zhixiao was present. Qiu Qiu thoughtfully handed out slices of cake, but Gao Xi schemed and claimed she couldn't finish hers alone and wanted to share it with Gu Wei.

Seeing this, Gu Wei immediately refused and even overcame his habit of using his own fork—something that upset Gao Xi. However, none of the other doctors noticed anything odd and continued teasing her about being close with Gu Wei. Standing nearby, Lin Zhixiao felt uncomfortable but forced a smile. After everyone finished the cake and dispersed, Gu Wei walked out of the ward.

Watching Lin Zhixiao’s retreating figure, he wanted to call out to her but was interrupted by Gao Xi, who stepped out. Seeing Gu Wei completely focused on Lin Zhixiao, Gao Xi became more aware of her place. Gu Wei, having no interest in chatting, told her to take care of her own tasks. Just after Gao Xi left, Qiu Qiu came out of the office and whispered in Gu Wei’s ear, sharply pointing out that he liked Lin Zhixiao.

Since Lin Zhixiao arrived at the hospital, Gu Wei had begun to smile more, whereas he remained stern with everyone else. Though Gu Wei smiled and teased Qiu Qiu for speaking nonsense, he couldn’t hide his true feelings. When it was time to part, Qiu Qiu left the hospital with his family. Gu Wei and Lin Zhixiao personally saw him off. Lin Zhixiao gave him a large teddy bear, and Gu Wei brought two medical books.

As Qiu Qiu said goodbye to Lin Zhixiao, he also expressed his reluctance to part with Gu Wei, since both were people he deeply trusted and cared for. He even prepared small gifts to give them in return.
