Chen Hongjun likes Ye Fang, but he is unsure if Ye Fang truly has feelings for him. Xiao Chunsheng assures Chen Hongjun that Ye Fang also likes him, and Chen Hongjun wholeheartedly believes in Xiao Chunsheng's words, so they become engaged. The Ye family prepares a grand engagement banquet, and Mother Ye promises to treat Chen Hongjun as her own son. However, in front of everyone, Ye Fang reveals the truth. She falsely accused Chen Hongjun of assaulting her in order to escape from Chen Tao's entanglement. Father Ye angrily leaves the scene, realizing his misunderstanding of Chen Hongjun. Xiao Chunsheng quickly steps forward to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Ye Guohua eagerly hopes to join the army with Xiao Chunsheng. He learns from his father that Xiao Yanpei's issue has not been resolved yet, and Xiao Chunsheng is temporarily unable to enlist. Ye Guohua doesn't dare to tell Xiao Chunsheng the truth and every day Xiao Chunsheng eagerly awaits a phone call from the military district informing him of his enlistment, but there is still no news.

Ye Guohua wants to get He Hongling into the Arts Group, but all the slots are already full. He hears that Tong Xiaomei has an available slot and knows that she has always wanted to become a doctor since she was young. He pleads with Tong Xiaomei to give the Arts Group slot to He Hongling. Tong Xiaomei advises Ye Guohua to give up on He Hongling, as He Hongling loves Xiao Chunsheng, not him. Tong Xiaomei agrees to give the slot to He Hongling and explicitly states that she is creating an opportunity for Xiao Chunsheng and He Hongling.

When Xiao Chunsheng hears that Tong Xiaomei is giving up her Arts Group slot for He Hongling, he rushes to share the good news with He Hongling. He Hongling naturally couldn't be happier, as she has long wanted to join the army with Xiao Chunsheng, but she worries about not passing the assessment. Xiao Chunsheng encourages her and cheers her on. While Xiao Chunsheng accompanies He Hongling to practice the violin, Tong Xiaomei invites the Arts Group leader, who is impressed by He Hongling's performance and praises her, instructing her to go to the group for assessment.

Ye Guohua wants to take credit for He Hongling, claiming that he persuaded Tong Xiaomei to talk to the group leader. However, He Hongling rejects Ye Guohua's claim directly and expresses her desire to join the army with Xiao Chunsheng. Ye Guohua has no choice but to reveal that Xiao Chunsheng couldn't enlist due to not passing the political examination. Disappointed, He Hongling doesn't want to make Xiao Chunsheng sad and keeps this information from him. Ye Guohua also hesitates to disclose the truth and stammers without revealing the real situation. Tong Xiaomei notices everything.

Xiao Yanqiu returns from her business trip ahead of schedule and expresses her gratitude to He Hongling for taking care of her father. She reminds Xiao Chunsheng to treat He Hongling better. Upon hearing that Tong Xiaomei gave up her Arts Group slot, Commander Tong becomes angry. He knows that Tong Xiaomei has always dreamed of becoming a doctor since she was young, but the Military Medical College does not recruit externally, and the medical team only accepts children of workers and peasants. Commander Tong cannot bear to see Tong Xiaomei working as a nurse at the hospital and has heard that she has been getting close to children from the wealthy compound lately, worrying that she might be influenced negatively. Tong Xiaomei becomes angry and bursts into tears, explaining that those children are not bad people.

Tong Xiaomei notices that the soldiers who volunteered are starting their medical examinations. She worries for Xiao Chunsheng and truthfully tells He Hongling the reasons why Xiao Chunsheng couldn't enlist. Xiao Chunsheng repeatedly visits the neighborhood committee to inquire about the results of his political examination, but there is still no news. He uses all his money to buy the violin that He Hongling desires and eagerly goes home to give it to her. He Hongling, thinking about the upcoming separation from Xiao Chunsheng, feels a mix of emotions.

Xiao Chunsheng goes to see Liang Dong to learn martial arts, and Liang Dong casually mentions that the medical examinations for new recruits have begun this year. Xiao Chunsheng's heart sinks. Tong Xiaomei notices that everyone is deliberately keeping the truth from Xiao Chunsheng, so she intentionally waits for him at the door and reveals to him the reason why he cannot join the army. Xiao Chunsheng feels deeply upset and locks himself in his room, feeling melancholic.

Today is the day of He Hongling's exam. Xiao Chunsheng and Ye Guohua accompany her to the Arts Group. With her skilled performance, He Hongling successfully passes the exam. She shares this good news with her mother, who becomes excited and tears up. Xiao Chunsheng, Chen Hongjun, Tong Xiaomei, He Hongling, and Ye Guohua go out together to have fun. They take pictures and finally go to a restaurant. Xiao Chunsheng takes great care of He Hongling, while Ye Guohua intentionally embarrasses Xiao Chunsheng publicly, claiming that he will go to the nearest military unit to the Arts Group and asking which unit Xiao Chunsheng will join. Xiao Chunsheng admits that he couldn't enlist due to not passing the political examination, but he firmly believes that his father, Xiao Yanpei, is not wrong. Ye Guohua questions whether He Hongling can wait for Xiao Chunsheng for so long, but Xiao Chunsheng supports He Hongling's decision to join the Arts Group. Tong Xiaomei quickly changes the topic and treats everyone to ice cream.

He Hongling has been hesitating. She doesn't want to leave Xiao Chunsheng at this time. Xiao Chunsheng encourages her to go to the military and play the violin well, promising to resolve the political examination issue and find her in the army. He Hongling asks him to express his true feelings, and Xiao Chunsheng confesses his love for her. They agree to write letters to each other every day.

Xiao Chunsheng comes to help repaint He Hongling's burned house. Ye Guohua also comes to help and admits that he is not as good as Xiao Chunsheng. He decides to let go of He Hongling, and Xiao Chunsheng and Ye Guohua resolve their misunderstanding and reconcile as before.
