Every year when Chen Maidong serves as a judge for the funeral services competition, he begins with the same opening line: Everyone lives in the midst of death. Some believe that death is not the end of life, but the completion of it. Yet most people refuse to talk about death, let alone draft a will or sign a do-not-resuscitate order in advance. All of this stems from fear of death.

But for Chen Maidong, an unprepared death disrupts all plans—just like now, when he hasn't had the chance to express his feelings to the one he loves, and that familiar engagement ring may become a lasting regret. A month ago, Grandma Chen personally visited Liao Tao. The two elders, though from different families, shared mutual understanding and tolerance regarding the younger generation’s conflicts. They also shared a strikingly similar view: children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

He Niaoniao overheard her mother and Grandma Chen’s conversation and messaged Zhuang Jie, telling her that the rear line was filled with her allies—she could boldly launch a full offensive toward Chen Maidong. In high spirits, Zhuang Jie gathered top technical talents in the medical industry and shared her project vision. She believed everyone shared the same goal: to develop high-end domestic medical equipment and provide multi-level healthcare services, forming an important foundation for strengthening the healthcare system.

But they were facing a current problem—the upstream and downstream of the industry chain were not aligned. While various institutions were committed to product development, they lacked cohesion. Therefore, they built this platform to form an interdisciplinary team integrating biomedical materials and mechanical engineering, and planned to deeply cultivate the field long-term, striving to launch a top-tier domestic brand.

Later, through Cui Ge, Zhuang Jie learned that Nanping Town had officially submitted a proposal to the province for a pilot zone for medical tourism. An idea instantly came to her—it was a gateway that offered her an opportunity and a bridge between her and Nanping. With this bridge, she could have both love and career.

Since Zhuang Jie would soon return to Nanping Town, Zhuang Yan used a small trick to get Chen Maidong to see him off to the station, thus creating an opportunity for the two to meet. Although Zhuang Jie acted coquettishly and tried to win him over in the car, Chen Maidong remained unmoved throughout, his attitude cold. He also kept secret his involvement in promoting Nanping’s medical tourism pilot plan.

Zhuang Jie’s pursuit of love was like walking into a crematorium—far from softening Chen Maidong, she instead heard rumors that he had recently become meticulous about his appearance, strutting around like a peacock. This gave Zhuang Jie a sense of crisis, so she asked Wang Xixia to deliberately post a photo in her friend circle where she appeared flirtatious during a dinner gathering, visible only to Chen Maidong. Unexpectedly, the next morning, Chen Maidong didn’t contact Wang Xixia.

Instead, he posted a handsome selfie to his own friend circle. Zhuang Jie, unable to wait, rushed over to confront Chen Maidong and asked if he was going to dump her. Chen Maidong helplessly reminded her to think carefully about the future—what kind of life would truly bring her peace of mind?

Before going to deliver her speech at the town hall, Zhuang Jie kept thinking about Chen Maidong’s words, feeling completely unsettled and afraid he would truly break up with her. After calming down, Zhuang Jie presented her project plan to the leadership of Nanping Town. She sincerely expressed her desire to contribute to her hometown and said she was lucky to have met Chen Maidong at this age—it was he who helped her find her life’s purpose.

Standing outside the door, Chen Maidong heard her words and was deeply comforted. Zhuang Jie had once said that she didn’t know how to change her personality—after all, she had been used to laughing through her sadness for over a decade. Chen Maidong wasn’t angry that Zhuang Jie had left Nanping Town, but upset that she never trusted him and treated love and marriage like a joke.

But through this experience, he saw how much she had changed and ultimately decided to personally take her to the train station to return to Shanghai, and the two reconciled. From then on, Wang Xixia moved out of the shared apartment and lived with her husband Cui Ge. Chen Maidong often sent food to Zhuang Jie and would occasionally express how much he missed her—the sweetness between them was overwhelming.

One day, while Zhuang Jie was on her way back, she almost got into a car accident. Having brushed past death, she suddenly realized that between tomorrow and an accident, no one knows which will come first, so one must cherish the present. Likewise, when Chen Maidong saw that the deceased wearing the engagement ring was not Zhuang Jie, he breathed a sigh of relief, then ran out of the funeral home to call her.

The two agreed to meet at Shanghai Station. Zhuang Jie told him that her future world included only Chen Maidong. Wherever he went, she would follow. Wherever he was, that was home. From now on, she would no longer speak of “every day,” but of every minute, every second.
