At the China Aerospace Research Institute, Guan Zai, chief designer of the J-X system, presented the SK-1 plan to the group. The attendees discussed it at length. Although the SK-1 plan was creative and novel, aerospace engineering is a complex systematic endeavor, so the plan wasn't immediately approved. Yu Tu, the chief designer of the J-X system, pressed his lips tightly. Though the result wasn’t unexpected, he still looked troubled.

Even Guan Zai didn’t understand why Yu Tu had been so preoccupied these past couple of months. The glamorous city of Shanghai paved the way for many artists in the entertainment industry. The explosive atmosphere at the Starlight Gala had fans cheering wildly. What thrilled everyone even more was the presence of renowned actress Qiao Jingjing. Dressed in a white gown, she won the Most Popular Actress of the Year award, becoming a trending topic on Weibo that night.

Qiao Jingjing’s stunning beauty and acting skills were well recognized by fans, but with fame comes gossip. Just after receiving her award and getting into her van, her agent Ling Jie handed her a phone showing the trending news. Qiao Jingjing frowned slightly as she looked at it—it was about how she was rejected after confessing her feelings in high school.

Back then, she had admired Yu Tu for a long time and finally mustered the courage to confess, only to be turned down. Yu Tu had wanted someone who could work hard alongside him and ended up choosing another girl named Xia Qing. Years have passed, and Qiao Jingjing learned from a friend that Yu Tu had broken up with Xia Qing.

She couldn't help but sigh—after all, even the one Yu Tu had chosen didn’t end up staying by his side. Qiao Jingjing returned to Shanghai right after filming. Ling Jie came to her in frustration, congratulating her sarcastically for topping the Weibo hot search. As the spokesperson for Honor of Kings, Qiao Jingjing had been cultivating the image of an e-sports master. However, a video exposing her rookie-level gameplay had been leaked, sparking widespread discussion among fans.

Not only could it affect her upcoming acting roles, but it also jeopardized her endorsement. After careful thought, Ling Jie decided to have Qiao Jingjing post on Weibo, claiming she was practicing a new hero. The game company hoped she would clarify the situation and even wanted her to participate in an exhibition match at the awards ceremony a month later to prove her skills.

Ling Jie knew Qiao Jingjing’s real gaming level better than anyone and initially wanted to decline, but Qiao Jingjing readily agreed, determined to improve and show everyone her true capabilities. Soon after, filming wrapped up. Ling Jie brought Qiao Jingjing back to Shanghai and arranged for her husband, A Guo, to teach her how to play. Thus began Qiao Jingjing’s long journey of mastering Honor of Kings.

Although A Guo was a top-tier player, Qiao Jingjing was a complete beginner and kept losing with every hero. A Guo couldn’t find a suitable character for her and decided to take a break before devising a new training strategy. Back at home, Qiao Jingjing continued practicing. To avoid another leak of her gameplay videos, she registered a new account using QQ. To her surprise, she found Yu Tu’s name in the friend list.

The name Yu Tu had been part of her youth; she had once gone to great lengths just to get him to accept her QQ friend request, eventually adding him as a forum acquaintance. Snapped back to reality by the game, Qiao Jingjing was shocked when Yu Tu invited her to play. Yu Tu had no idea of her identity, and Qiao Jingjing shamelessly clung to his Zhuge Liang while playing as Cai Wenji. However, her poor gameplay prompted their teammates to curse her, though Yu Tu calmly protected her with skillful controls on his screen.

Yu Tu invited Qiao Jingjing to play with his friends. The five-person team switched to voice chat. As soon as Qiao Jingjing spoke, two of the players were surprised—Yu Tu, who usually had no connection to girls, had actually brought a girl into the game. Yu Tu simply said he didn’t know she was a girl. Qiao Jingjing was secretly relieved that Yu Tu hadn’t recognized her voice.

After the match, Yu Tu’s teammate Di Liang finally realized how much of a newbie Qiao Jingjing was and told her to just follow Yu Tu. While she didn’t contribute much as a support, she happily managed to score two kills by following Yu Tu around. Balancing filming with intense game practice, Qiao Jingjing spared no expense.

She bought every appealing skin and generously gifted three of them to Yu Tu’s teammates—but none to Yu Tu himself, which Di Liang teased him about. That night, the five of them started another round of games. After a match, Di Liang wanted to switch to ranked mode. Qiao Jingjing felt a little upset about the skins she had gifted.

Di Liang awkwardly suggested that Yu Tu coach her one-on-one, saying he’d handle all house chores for a day if Yu Tu won two games with her. Without hesitation, Yu Tu played over a dozen matches with Qiao Jingjing, leading Di Liang to reluctantly commit to a full week of house chores. Yu Tu planned to resign from the research institute and switch to the finance industry.

When his university senior heard about this, he immediately arranged a meeting at his company, hoping Yu Tu would join after resigning. However, Yu Tu already had plans to start his own business, though he hadn’t fully made up his mind. Meanwhile, Qiao Jingjing had been watching his game account closely, waiting for him to log in.

Her best friend Pei Pei called and told her what had happened in their high school class group—someone had once again spread rumors about her and Yu Tu. Yu Tu himself stepped in to clarify, shutting down the rumors with authority. Reading his message, Qiao Jingjing felt a warm happiness she couldn’t quite explain. Elsewhere in Shanghai, Yu Tu’s friend Di Liang moved into Yu Tu’s place. He couldn’t understand Yu Tu’s decision.

Yu Tu had always been capable yet remained in the aerospace institute. With the pressure of a mortgage in Shanghai, and having even broken up with Xia Qing for his aerospace dream, Di Liang believed Yu Tu might come to regret it. Seeing Yu Tu constantly brooding, he suggested that Yu Tu take a break in Beijing and reconsider whether staying in the institute was really the right path, instead of coping through gaming.

After Di Liang left, Yu Tu recalled that his resignation hadn’t been approved outright. The director asked him to first take all his accumulated vacation days before making a final decision. Feeling unsettled, Yu Tu slumped on the couch, opened Honor of Kings, and saw a gift from Qiao Jingjing—a skin and an invite. He messaged her on QQ, telling her not to send him gifts. Qiao Jingjing, however, mustered her courage and asked him to be her coach. Yu Tu turned her down, saying he might stop playing the game at any time and couldn’t commit to being her coach.

Yu Tu refused to be Qiao Jingjing’s private coach, so she asked him to at least give her pointers when possible. Yu Tu agreed, and Qiao Jingjing was overjoyed. The five-person team started another match. Since her usual support role was taken, Yu Tu suggested she play Wang Zhaojun and switch to the flash skill. Qiao Jingjing always admired Yu Tu’s skills, so she followed his advice without hesitation and began seriously watching pro gameplay videos.

After a full day, her gameplay had improved significantly. Her teammates praised her and mentioned how Yu Tu had let her score kills before. Curious about that, Qiao Jingjing messaged Yu Tu on QQ. She was touched by his thoughtfulness. Over the next few days, she stayed home playing games non-stop. When Ling Jie returned from a business trip and found out Qiao Jingjing hadn’t gone to train in person, she rushed to her place.

But seeing Qiao Jingjing’s improved skills, she was surprised. Qiao Jingjing explained that an online gaming expert had been training her. Seeing her doing well, Ling Jie allowed her to continue practicing alone at home. After a few reminders, Ling Jie left.

Curious about Yu Tu’s constant online status, Qiao Jingjing asked Pei Pei about his situation and was surprised to learn that Yu Tu had chosen the aerospace path despite having studied finance in university—he had never given up his dream from high school. Qiao Jingjing learned from Pei Pei that the research institute had co-developed an air purifier, and Yu Tu had even handled some after-sales visits personally. That night during a game, she deliberately brought up air purifier issues.

Di Liang and the others immediately suggested that Yu Tu handle it for her in person. Although Yu Tu was reluctant, he couldn’t resist their persuasion and went to Pudong alone to help Qiao Jingjing. Knowing Yu Tu was coming, Qiao Jingjing changed clothes in excitement and went downstairs to meet him. Despite not having seen each other in ten years, they recognized each other instantly. Qiao Jingjing confessed that the purifier wasn’t broken—she just wanted to see him.

Wearing masks, they took a walk outside. Yu Tu was surprised to find her on his QQ list. Qiao Jingjing downplayed it, glossing over how she’d added him with a small account and told him to check her Weibo. As a big star, one of her posts had caused a rush on the purifiers. But Yu Tu didn’t seem very excited, leaving Qiao Jingjing slightly disappointed.

Then Yu Tu brought up the game, and Qiao Jingjing honestly explained that she was going to face two pro players in the exhibition match, so she wanted Yu Tu to coach her in person. Since he was on vacation and was her former classmate, she trusted him completely. Even with masks on, Yu Tu could see her smile and was reminded of when she had asked him for math tutoring back in school—he agreed to help her.

Seeing Yu Tu agree, Qiao Jingjing happily asked him to return home with her to practice. Yu Tu immediately got into coach mode, analyzing the situation and preparing to help her seriously.

Yu Tu dropped Qiao Jingjing off at her apartment and reminded her of some gaming basics, agreeing to come over the next day at 9 a. m. to begin training. Qiao Jingjing returned home gleefully. Assistant Xiao Zhu reported the situation to Ling Jie, who still felt that something was off about the two of them, despite Yu Tu agreeing to coach Qiao Jingjing. Back at home, Yu Tu saw Qiao Jingjing playing with Di Liang.

Di Liang asked Qiao Jingjing what she thought of Yu Tu. Still smitten by his good looks, she casually replied, “Not bad. ” Yu Tu didn’t expose her identity. Di Liang, surprised that Yu Tu was watching pro matches, asked what Qiao Jingjing looked like. Thinking of the posters everywhere, Yu Tu just replied, “Everywhere. ” Di Liang, clueless, assumed Yu Tu was just being sarcastic.

Little did he know that once he left, Yu Tu recalled Qiao Jingjing’s bright, clear eyes and couldn’t help but smile. The next morning, Qiao Jingjing initially planned to have her assistant bring two breakfasts, but then changed her mind, telling the assistant not to come so she could ask Yu Tu to bring breakfast instead. Yu Tu showed up at her door right on time, breakfast in hand, making Qiao Jingjing feel sweet and delighted.

After breakfast, Yu Tu began the lesson. He had her watch professional gameplay videos. Although she had reached the gold rank on her own, after seeing Yu Tu’s diamond-tier gameplay, she felt discouraged. Pro players were even stronger. According to Yu Tu, she had to reach top-tier rank within a month to have any chance of winning. They began one-on-one training. Yu Tu required Qiao Jingjing to become familiar with every hero’s damage and skills.

Previously, she had only played Wang Zhaojun, but now she was overwhelmed by the many different heroes. After a whole day of harsh defeats, Yu Tu still couldn’t determine which hero suited her, so he asked her to train for two more days. During these days, she underwent his intense and systematic training. Yu Tu targeted her weaknesses one by one, teaching her every skill and knowledge point. After a week of relentless practice, her abilities finally showed improvement.

She excitedly pulled Yu Tu into a team battle. During the match, Xia Qing called Yu Tu, but he declined her call and stayed to finish the game with Qiao Jingjing. After the game, Yu Tu took Xia Qing’s call and left Qiao Jingjing’s home, leaving her a little disappointed. He met up with Xia Qing, who had stopped by from a business trip to Hangzhou. She was surprised to learn Yu Tu was planning to resign.

Back then, he had chosen aerospace over their relationship, but now it seemed like she had meant little to him. Xia Qing asked about his future plans. She knew Beijing DF had made him an offer and told him she was also in Beijing and could help. Yu Tu just replied that he had already declined the offer. Xia Qing didn’t say anything, but her tightly clenched fists betrayed her deep disappointment—and that she still had feelings for Yu Tu.

After Xia Qing met with Yu Tu, Yu Tu originally wanted to take her to the subway station. However, Xia Qing was no longer who she used to be; she called for a private car and refused to squeeze into the subway. Just before parting, Xia Qing frankly told Yu Tu that his heart only had the vast sky, and she was never a part of it. He should not have delayed her back then.

After sending Xia Qing off, Yu Tu returned to Qiao Jingjing's home. Seeing Yu Tu’s cold expression, Jingjing guessed that their conversation hadn’t gone well. Jingjing and Yu Tu resumed their gaming practice. During the game, Di Liang turned on voice chat. He didn’t know what had happened between Jingjing and Yu Tu and simply told Jingjing that Yu Tu had been going out early and returning late lately. Jingjing was secretly pleased.

Yu Tu came over and turned off Jingjing’s voice chat, telling her to focus on the game. Just then, the doorbell rang. Yu Tu went to open the door, not expecting it to be Jingjing’s ex-boyfriend—Su Ye, a prominent figure in the financial world. Su Ye looked somewhat awkward seeing the two of them together and tactfully left.

Jingjing shut the door and told her assistant Pei Pei, who was coming later with food, to change her door code—clearly, she wasn’t welcoming Su Ye. Yu Tu had heard of Su Ye’s talent as well. Jingjing shared the reason she broke up with Su Ye—after just six months of dating, he asked her to quit her job. She didn’t hesitate and ended the relationship. Jingjing then asked why Yu Tu broke up with Xia Qing.

Yu Tu admitted that he left Beijing after graduating college, and they naturally parted ways. From Yu Tu’s words, Jingjing also learned that Yu Tu had majored in finance only because his parents opposed his dream of working in aerospace. He not only completed the finance program but also self-studied aerospace and squeezed his way into China’s aerospace research institute.

Knowing that Yu Tu had persisted in his dream made Jingjing sincerely happy, but she was puzzled by Yu Tu’s seemingly long vacation. Yu Tu put down his chopsticks and, with dim eyes, said he was planning to give up on the stars and the sea—on the aerospace dream he had held onto for so many years.

Back at home, Yu Tu was visited by Di Liang, who had heard about Yu Tu meeting Xia Qing and asked how it went. Yu Tu brushed it off. Di Liang brought up a dinner invitation from their college classmate Qu Ming, who was hosting a farewell dinner for Di Liang. After much persuasion, Yu Tu agreed to go. He arrived on time.

Qu Ming had invited several college classmates, and as soon as Yu Tu arrived, Qu Ming teased him and boastfully said he had also invited Xia Qing, but she canceled last minute. Yu Tu knew Xia Qing was already back in Beijing, but he didn’t expose the lie. Only when Xia Qing sent a message in their group chat did Qu Ming’s little act fall apart.

It turned out Qu Ming couldn’t get Xia Qing to meet him alone, so he used the excuse of a class reunion to lure her out—but she didn’t come and instead, Yu Tu did. Qu Ming had heard that Yu Tu was planning to leave the aerospace institute.

He pretended to be generous and ordered lavishly to show off his current wealth and status, then deliberately mocked Yu Tu, saying that switching careers now made him no better than a fresh graduate. Di Liang saw through Qu Ming’s intentions and spoke up for Yu Tu. He pointed out that even when he had a million-yuan salary after graduating, he wasn’t as arrogant as Qu Ming. They were all classmates—how could Qu Ming be like this?

Meanwhile, Jingjing knew Yu Tu was out dining and asked Pei Pei to buy her a salad. Pei Pei overheard Qu Ming mocking Yu Tu and immediately called Jingjing. Not tolerating anyone bullying Yu Tu, Jingjing contacted the restaurant owner and had a special dish and a bottle of Romanée-Conti wine delivered in the name of Miss Qi and Yu Tu.

The restaurant was expensive, and the wine even more so, leaving everyone at the table in awe of Yu Tu. Upon hearing “Miss Qi,” Yu Tu knew it was Jingjing’s doing. He stood up, left, and took the Romanée-Conti she had ordered for him. Yu Tu brought the wine to Jingjing to thank her for what she had done.

Jingjing then revealed her little trick—the wine was only worth a few hundred yuan, and the bottle was just a prop from her filming. She couldn’t bear to treat those people to expensive wine. Since Yu Tu brought the wine, Jingjing decided to rest for the night and prepared a candlelit atmosphere, inviting Yu Tu to share a drink with her. Drinking together, Yu Tu and Jingjing had a great conversation.

After a few drinks, Yu Tu remembered his current situation. His eyes revealed sadness and frustration. To cheer him up, Jingjing deliberately changed the subject, talking about funny things in their game and even showing off selfies to make him laugh. After drinking, Yu Tu left alone. He saw a message from Di Liang, asking about the identity of “Miss Qi. ” Yu Tu smiled and replied that she was an old classmate he had just reconnected with.

The first thing Jingjing saw upon waking was Yu Tu asking what she wanted for breakfast. Smiling, she told him to bring whatever. She even made coffee for him herself, a rare gesture. Though Jingjing loved food, she was still conscious of her figure as a celebrity and watched her calorie intake. Yu Tu, ever attentive, brought a low-calorie breakfast, and Jingjing praised him, asking him to get the coffee she made. Jingjing seldom did anything herself.

Though she drew a rabbit on the coffee foam, her skills were too rough, and the rabbit looked so unlike a rabbit that Yu Tu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. During breakfast, Yu Tu analyzed Jingjing’s gaming abilities. He thought she wasn’t suited for the jungler role and was better as a marksman or mage. Jingjing disliked how unattractive some of the marksmen looked, so Yu Tu recommended the hero Baili Shouyue to her.

To help Jingjing grow, Yu Tu explained the game’s strategies, even demonstrating on paper. He suggested that she spend half her day in practice and the other half watching pro matches. Only when she could predict her opponents’ next moves would she be barely qualified. Yu Tu’s serious and high standards reminded Jingjing of high school.

She complained that if Yu Tu had helped her with math back then, she might have gotten into Tsinghua University and become the most academically accomplished actress in the entertainment industry. Hearing that Jingjing wanted to get into Tsinghua for her fans, Yu Tu said her fans would surely be happy. But Jingjing secretly thought to herself that it wasn’t for her fans—it was for herself.

Before Yu Tu left, Jingjing told him she would be performing at the Double Eleven Gala the next day and invited him to watch. Yu Tu simply asked her to message him before she went on stage so he could tune in. Di Liang was planning to visit Long Wang in Hangzhou for a few days and wanted Yu Tu to come. Yu Tu declined. Di Liang found Yu Tu odd lately, always coming and going early and late.

After he left, Yu Tu received a message from a senior and went out to eat. While dining, Jingjing invited him to play a game. Yu Tu declined the senior’s invitation to a bar, then found a bench outside the restaurant to start a match with Jingjing. Both turned on voice chat. Jingjing chatted with her teammates and, during a dispute, accidentally referred to herself and Yu Tu as a couple. They won the game.

Afterward, Yu Tu declined the team’s invite to continue, but Jingjing accepted and dragged Yu Tu along. Yu Tu indulged her and played another match. As a couple, they won again easily. Yu Tu’s skill made Jingjing squeal like a prairie dog. After the match, Yu Tu sent Jingjing a WeChat message, but finding his tone too affectionate, he decided to withdraw it and simply watched Jingjing’s upcoming performance in silence. Jingjing still saw the message Yu Tu had withdrawn.

The next day, she was distracted, wondering why Yu Tu had taken it back. Yu Tu noticed her absent-mindedness and let her off the hook. He had a gathering that evening and was about to leave. Seeing him go out, Jingjing spoke enviously—on this singles’ celebration night, she could only stay in her apartment. Before leaving, Yu Tu looked back at her and said that even if he wanted to take her out, how could someone of her identity go out openly?

Yu Tu attended a gathering with colleagues from the research institute. He learned that Guan Zai was going through a divorce with his wife due to work stress and that he was also planning to resign. Everyone was reluctant to see him go and wished him a bright future. They all understood it would be hard to meet again.

Yu Tu turned down their invitation to go sing and instead returned to downstairs of Jingjing’s apartment, inviting her to go out with him. When Jingjing received Yu Tu’s call, her eyes sparkled. She quickly changed clothes and went out with him. Yu Tu took her to the movies. Jingjing picked an animated film. Because of her celebrity status, they couldn’t enter the cinema together.

She picked up the tickets and left one on the table for Yu Tu, then went in alone. Yu Tu took the ticket and joined her inside, teasing her a little and sitting beside her. As they watched the movie—which was about dreamers—Jingjing was reminded of Yu Tu’s dream being changed due to his parents' opposition. She felt a bit guilty, not knowing the movie’s plot beforehand.

After the movie, Jingjing asked about Yu Tu’s dreams and learned that his parents had actually agreed to him joining the aerospace institute back when he was in grad school. But recently, his parents came to Shanghai for medical treatment, and he saw them eating instant noodles in a shabby little motel. That moment filled him with guilt—he realized he had the ability to give his parents a better life but had selfishly clung to his dream.

He decided to change careers and do his best to provide his parents with the best life and healthcare possible. Yu Tu admitted that he had always thought he was smart, but now at thirty, he felt he had achieved nothing. He planned to start over and return to investment banking. Seeing him laugh self-deprecatingly, Jingjing’s heart ached for him.

Back home, Yu Tu recalled seeing his parents living frugally in that little motel and not even daring to disturb him while he was on duty. Guilt overwhelmed him. At that moment, Jingjing sent him a message, saying that the line “But you’re already a rabbit that has seen the stars” suited him perfectly. She comforted him, saying he wasn’t a failure. All his efforts and contributions had value. In her heart, Yu Tu was the best.

A photo of Jingjing watching a movie alone on Singles’ Day was taken by paparazzi. After seeing it, Ling Jie suggested that maybe Jingjing should consider dating someone. In her mind, only Yu Tu’s image surfaced. Yu Tu continued teaching her to play games as promised. One day, they watched a livestream together in the media room. Suddenly, the big screen broke, and Yu Tu personally fixed the power board for her. While doing so, Ling Jie called.

Jingjing had originally scheduled to meet Director Li the next afternoon, but his plans changed. Ling Jie had to reschedule it to this afternoon and was already on her way with the stylist and makeup artist.

After finishing the call, Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to leave Yu Tu in the home theater for the time being. Although Ling Jie had long wanted to meet Yu Tu, the makeup team was outsourced, so she couldn't reveal that Yu Tu was at her house. Yu Tu completely understood Jingjing’s situation and stayed alone in the home theater. After Jingjing left, she sent Yu Tu a message asking him to wait at home for her return.

Once she was dressed, Jingjing went to meet Director Li, who had gathered some of the actors together. It was nearly certain—90%—that Jingjing had secured the film role. When Director Li commented that she was too thin, Jingjing was overjoyed and dragged Yu Tu, who was keeping watch at her house, out for a meal. Today was Ling Jie’s husband’s birthday, and Jingjing intended to tag along with Yu Tu to crash the dinner.

Ling Jie had heard Pei Pei gush about how handsome Yu Tu was every day, and seeing him in person did not disappoint her—her gaze remained fixed on him the whole time. Even though it was Ling Jie’s husband’s birthday, Jingjing mischievously gave him a necklace, joking that she was helping him save the trouble of buying a gift for Ling Jie. After sending her husband away, Ling Jie looked at Yu Tu with sparkling eyes.

As a manager, she was determined not to let such a good-looking man go. She insisted Yu Tu should join the entertainment industry and promised she could make him a star within six months. Yu Tu declined Ling Jie’s offer with a smile, and Jingjing also shook her head, asking Ling Jie to let him off the hook.

Their unexpected visit meant Ling Jie hadn’t prepared enough food, and when she heard that Jingjing wanted hot pot, she invited Pei Pei and the others over as well and ordered hot pot for a lively group dinner. At the dinner table, Jingjing brought up that she and Yu Tu had been schoolmates since junior high, which surprised Yu Tu a bit. Ling Jie then mentioned the meeting with the director earlier that day.

The film was a collaboration between Jingjing and Duan Wu, but Duan Wu’s manager had tried to sabotage Jingjing by pointing out that her gaming skills didn’t match her public persona. Fortunately, Jingjing’s gaming skills had improved quickly. She played a ranked match on Duan Wu’s manager’s Platinum account right on the spot, regaining her pride and securing the role. Ling Jie’s husband, A Guo, was also Jingjing’s former teacher.

When he learned that it was Yu Tu who had helped train her gaming skills, he eagerly proposed a PK match. However, he was thoroughly defeated, leaving everyone in stitches. After dinner, Yu Tu and A Guo chatted about stocks and mutual funds. A Guo asked about Yu Tu’s career, and Yu Tu confidently told him that he would be joining an investment bank next month.

Jingjing overheard this from the other side of the room and came over to talk to Yu Tu. Standing with him on the balcony, she asked about his plans. She had admired him since high school and would support him no matter whether he chose aerospace or investment banking. Jingjing set a goal to gain five pounds and reach the “Glory” rank in the game within 30 days.

But she hit her weight goal within just one week, which earned her a scolding from Ling Jie. Weighing in at 97 pounds, Jingjing felt the pressure but couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food. She decided that if she couldn’t reach the “Glory” rank within an hour, she wouldn’t eat. Her skills had significantly improved under Yu Tu’s guidance, and she cleared the promotion matches easily, so they went out for a meal as promised.

At the restaurant entrance, Yu Tu ran into his mentor and his mentor’s wife. However, there were still more than a dozen tables ahead of them. Yu Tu offered to vacate the private room for them and take Jingjing out to eat elsewhere. But Jingjing suggested they all dine together—she didn’t mind sharing a table. Yu Tu thanked her and invited his teacher and teacher’s wife to join them.

Professor Zhang and Professor Wang had come to the restaurant to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Yu Tu and Jingjing initially didn’t want to intrude, but the couple said they liked lively atmospheres and insisted they stay. After ordering, Professor Zhang brought up Yu Tu’s work challenges.

He had already resolved the issue of the pre-research model and hoped Yu Tu would return to work after his vacation to discuss the plan further with Guan Zai and strive for approval from the institute. Yu Tu felt guilty hearing this because he was determined to resign—for money. Over the years, many people had left the institute. Professor Zhang believed Yu Tu was different. He was his most talented student, and he was deeply disappointed to see him go.

Jingjing interrupted, saying Professor Zhang was being too coercive by using ideals and beliefs to pressure Yu Tu. Her blunt words angered Yu Tu. He pulled her away and quarreled with her at the entrance. He felt she was enjoying all the privileges of society and had no right to say those things to Professor Zhang. Jingjing’s eyes welled up with tears. More than anyone, she wanted Yu Tu to become an aerospace designer.

She had only said those words to help him, not to hurt him. Yu Tu watched Jingjing’s retreating figure with a heavy heart. He asked a nearby passerby to delete a photo and sent a message to Jingjing to apologize. Jingjing didn’t reply, but Professor Wang sent a message instead, saying they respected Yu Tu’s choice and hoped he wouldn’t blame Jingjing. At the Satellite Control Center, the J-X satellite suddenly malfunctioned and lost attitude control.

The institute required Yu Tu to end his vacation immediately and rush to the Northwest Satellite Control Center. He hung up and caught the last flight there. Guan Zai also came along. Together, they investigated the latest developments. The J-X satellite had lost signal. They worked overnight to identify the cause. Director Hu also arrived, and everyone worked tirelessly around the clock to rescue the satellite, implementing all emergency protocols.

Yu Tu hadn’t shown up for days, and Jingjing had been arriving at her studio on time every day, but she looked visibly distressed. Ling Jie noticed and comforted her. Knowing she had argued with Yu Tu, Ling Jie urged her to relax. Jingjing saw Yu Tu’s message saying he was on a business trip, but she couldn’t shake the words he had said at the restaurant entrance.

At the control center, Yu Tu and Guan Zai continued their all-nighters. During a meal break, Yu Tu checked WeChat and found that Jingjing still hadn’t replied. Guan Zai talked about how severe the Brahe satellite incident had been—so bad that they had to give up on it. The J-X satellite had only been launched a year ago, and Guan Zai believed it wouldn’t suffer the same fate. They had already overcome several hurdles in recent days.

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the J-X satellite finally returned to normal orbit. Everyone clapped and cheered with excitement. With the satellite stabilized, both Yu Tu and Guan Zai breathed a sigh of relief. It was their first collaboration and also the first satellite Yu Tu had helped design. Guan Zai asked why Yu Tu wanted to resign and switch to investment banking, but Yu Tu didn’t disclose the reason.

Guan Zai didn’t press him—he never believed Yu Tu would really leave. He even tried to set Yu Tu up with someone, but Yu Tu turned him down, saying he already liked someone—Qiao Jingjing. In the past month, Yu Tu had experienced everyone’s disappointment and his own family dilemmas. Thinking of Jingjing’s teary eyes left him heartbroken. Outside, while waiting for the ticket office to open, Yu Tu checked the time and told Guan Zai to call his wife.

But Guan Zai suddenly collapsed. Yu Tu rushed him to the hospital, where he found out that Guan Zai’s health was failing. Guan Zai insisted on returning to Shanghai. Unable to change his mind, Yu Tu accompanied him back. Guan Zai said he missed home and, knowing his condition, asked Yu Tu for the medical records—he planned to go to the hospital himself. Seeing the fragility of life shook Yu Tu.

Back in Shanghai, he kept thinking about Jingjing, staring at her profile picture and repeatedly turning his phone on and off, but she never replied. When Guan Zai arrived home, his wife and son were overjoyed. He hid his illness from them, saying he would no longer travel for work and would stay in Shanghai with them. Meanwhile, Jingjing found out the upcoming exhibition match would feature new versions and new heroes.

She went solo in King of Glory to test the heroes and tweak her gear. Yu Tu invited her to play together, and Jingjing, biting her lip, accepted. They played game after game, winning several in a row. Pei Pei came to deliver something to Jingjing and saw Yu Tu downstairs alone. She asked if Jingjing had locked him out. Jingjing was surprised to hear Yu Tu was downstairs.

Missing him deeply, she rushed downstairs in slippers and found Yu Tu sitting there waiting to play games with her. He looked at her and asked if she was still angry, taking the initiative to compromise.

Jingjing tugged at her clothes and looked at Yu Tu. She brought up the incident at the restaurant and admitted she had used the wrong words that day. Yu Tu had been waiting for her message all this time. He had checked her match records and wanted to know if she still needed him. Jingjing mentioned the strange parts Yu Tu had been sending her lately and invited him to dinner at her place.

Yu Tu, having been on a train all day, didn’t want to disturb her with his tired appearance and planned to go home, shower, and come over the next day. Realizing how exhausted he was, Jingjing insisted her driver take him home, giving him no room to refuse. Guan Zai’s wife, Shen Jing, reminded him to keep his promise not to travel again this year. Guan Zai was heavy-hearted, knowing he couldn’t hide his illness much longer.

He confessed that something was wrong with his health but was confident he would overcome it and stay by his wife and child’s side. Back home, Yu Tu lay on the bed exhausted. Shen Jing called to thank him for looking after Guan Zai in Xi’an.

Since she and Guan Zai had no family in Shanghai, and she had to go home to take care of the child at night, she asked Yu Tu to help look after him in the hospital. Yu Tu, deeply bonded with Guan Zai, agreed without hesitation and packed to head to the hospital. Shen Jing was overwhelmed by her husband’s illness but had to keep strong.

She had to care for both her husband and their child, balancing emotions and responsibilities, which brought her to tears. Guan Zai woke up and said he wanted to hire a caregiver so Yu Tu wouldn’t have to keep running back and forth. He tried to reassure himself, saying the illness had a high recovery rate and he would pull through. Shen Jing, too, forced herself to stay strong.

Before entering the ward, she wiped away her tears and continued to care for him, telling him to think of this illness as a vacation in Shanghai. In the morning, Yu Tu brought breakfast to Jingjing’s house. As always, he coached her in playing games. Seeing her focused expression touched him deeply. After a ten-game winning streak, Yu Tu continued repairing the projector.

While Jingjing was still gaming beside him, she was mocked by teammates, so she called in her secret weapon—Yu Tu—to help her finish the second half of the match. This time, Jingjing clearly sensed a change in Yu Tu—he had become gentler and more patient. She boldly asked to play on his phone, which happened to be the same model as the official tournament device. While helping her finish the match, Yu Tu told her his phone password and let her grab it herself to continue gaming.

Qiao Jingjing asked Yu Tu if he had added any of their high school classmates on WeChat, as she wanted to take a look at their Moments. Checking each other’s Moments is an act usually reserved for close relationships, yet Yu Tu agreed without hesitation. After all, Moments are meant for friends, and Jingjing is their high school classmate, so she can look directly. With Yu Tu’s permission, Jingjing felt sweet inside.

After Yu Tu helped her win a game, she planned to use his phone to help him win a match in return. While they were gaming, Pei Pei called, saying that a brand had sent a birthday gift to Jingjing. Pei Pei originally wanted to have the driver bring it up, but Jingjing suddenly wanted Yu Tu to help carry it.

She thought it was a gift from the brand, but when Yu Tu carried three large boxes upstairs, Pei Pei blurted out that they were clothes, shoes, and bags Jingjing had bought herself. Jingjing didn’t want Yu Tu to see her extravagant side, but Pei Pei, being an unhelpful teammate, kept talking about how messy and overloaded Jingjing’s wardrobe was. Yu Tu just smiled gently, without thinking anything bad about Jingjing, making her feel overjoyed.

Time passed, and Yu Tu was still at the hospital taking care of Guan Zai. He told Jingjing not to prepare dinner for him from tomorrow onwards. He’d coordinate with Guan Zai later during her match and try to free up time to go watch her compete. When Yu Tu arrived at the hospital, Guan Zai was talking to Shen Jing about Yu Tu’s girlfriend.

Shen Jing had once wanted to introduce someone to Yu Tu, but hearing from Guan Zai that Yu Tu already had a girlfriend, she asked to see a photo. Yu Tu couldn’t produce one, so Shen Jing pretended to be upset and left the room without engaging further. Outside, Yu Tu walked Shen Jing out, and she apologized, saying she had just been joking to help Guan Zai relax. She wouldn’t introduce her junior to Yu Tu anyway.

Both Yu Tu and Guan Zai are workaholics, completely absorbed in their jobs, and she didn’t want her junior to suffer as she had. Because of taking care of Guan Zai, Yu Tu had to decline his senior’s job offer. Back in the hospital room, Guan Zai was getting things in order for work. Though he remained optimistic, he still considered the worst-case scenario. In the middle of the night, Guan Zai started vomiting uncontrollably.

After an examination, the doctor confirmed it was cancer and recommended urgent surgery. Still unconscious, Guan Zai remained in bed. Shen Jing told Yu Tu to let Mr. and Mrs. Hu—close friends of Guan Zai—go home first. They lamented Guan Zai’s condition and hoped for his quick recovery. They also told Yu Tu not to tell Professor Zhang yet.

Both he and Guan Zai were Professor Zhang’s proudest students, and they feared the professor wouldn’t be able to take the news. Yu Tu agreed. At the same time, he came to a decision—he applied to extend his leave by one more week. When he was saving the J-X satellite in Xi’an, he realized he belonged at the aerospace institute. Investment banking had never been his dream.

He not only wanted to spend more time taking care of Guan Zai but also had unfinished personal matters to resolve. Yu Tu and Jingjing watched an esports match at home. Yu Tu fell asleep from exhaustion halfway through, so Jingjing lowered the volume and quietly observed his sleeping face, planning to secretly take a picture. But she moved too much and fell on top of Yu Tu, waking him up.

He mistakenly thought she wanted oranges, so he got her two and asked about the match result. Before the match, they made a bet—whoever lost would agree to the other’s request. Yu Tu won and asked Jingjing to tell him what birthday gift she wanted. Jingjing had never experienced a “Pentakill” in her gaming life, so she asked Yu Tu to give her one using his own playstyle.

Yu Tu then recommended a teammate for the upcoming match based on his experience, suggesting that Jingjing choose Zhou Yin from Team Tiangong. The month passed quickly, and Jingjing’s entertainment match was about to begin. She gave Yu Tu two tickets, asking him to bring Di Liang to watch her match. She wanted Di Liang to see that the most beautiful girl on stage had been their teammate all along.

At the Honor of Kings awards ceremony, many professional esports players and well-known figures attended. As the game’s spokesperson, Jingjing dressed up and attended as promised. Before the ceremony, she visited the backstage area to meet the professional players. Her expertise and easygoing nature earned her admiration from them, and many asked for her autograph and photo. At the ceremony, the contestants entered one after another. Jingjing came by to greet her teammates.

Staff began drawing lots, and Jingjing drew two teammates, while the remaining three players formed another team. The two teams named themselves: Jingjing's team was called “Team Lucky Arrival,” while the other was “Team Star Catcher. ” Besides their drawn teammates, each team had to pick two professional players. Jingjing followed Yu Tu’s advice and chose Zhou Yin and Xia Xue.

Since Zhou Yin and Xia Xue were from the same team, Jingjing believed that teammates from the same team would have a synergy greater than the sum of their parts. Everyone was impressed by her insight. Yu Tu, watching from the audience, felt proud of her choices and performance. The match began, and Jingjing showed her skills, earning praise from professional players. Fans were curious about her tactics. The intense match kicked off with both sides banning heroes.

Jingjing’s opponents targeted her hero pool and banned all her support heroes. She smiled knowingly—support heroes weren’t her only strength. After bans were done, she confidently picked Donghuang Taiyi, shocking everyone—except Yu Tu, who was unsurprised and completely confident in her. At the match, Jingjing’s ex-boyfriend, Mr. Su, also came to watch. He was stunned by her skills. With her excellent coordination with teammates, Team Lucky Arrival won the match, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Because her team won, Jingjing earned the right to ban more of the opposing heroes next game. Meanwhile, Team Star Catcher earned the right to eliminate the MVP from the previous round. That MVP was Xia Xue, who was forced to sit out. Jingjing brought up the official rules, which allowed her to choose a teammate from the audience. She decided to choose a non-professional player—someone who had always been her teammate.

This time, she wanted to fight side by side with Yu Tu. Yu Tu’s name was called, and his avatar appeared on the big screen. He smiled and walked up to Jingjing’s invitation. His lips curled into a slight smile, and every girl in the audience was captivated by his looks. Jingjing couldn’t help recalling Yu Tu in high school. Back then, she also watched him walk on stage, thinking he shone brightly. But this time, it was different—Yu Tu was walking toward her world. She welcomed him into her life, step by step.

When Yu Tu entered the stage, the host asked about his relationship with Jingjing. Jingjing openly said Yu Tu was her junior high and high school classmate. They hadn’t kept in touch for years, only reconnecting because of Honor of Kings.

The host joked about them, while backstage, Ling Jie frowned nervously, worried that someone might dig up old gossip posts from Jingjing’s high school days and guess that Yu Tu was the one who rejected her back then—and that he had a girlfriend at the time. This might lead to misunderstandings that Jingjing was a third party. Ling Jie wasn’t the only one worried. Jingjing also anticipated this, so on stage, she intentionally mentioned Yu Tu was single.

Yu Tu, in sync with her, cooperated seamlessly. Before the match, Yu Tu revealed his in-game nickname and said he was an aerospace designer, which surprised Jingjing. The second round was just as intense as the first. Now that Team Star Catcher understood Jingjing’s strength, Yu Tu analyzed the match and told Jingjing to choose boldly—he would play mid-lane, and she would play marksman. Baili Shouyue was her best hero.

As the bans began, Donghuang Taiyi was banned, placing Jingjing in a tough spot. Online comments claimed she was just a pretty face relying on strong teammates—a spokesperson who could only play support. But Jingjing broke expectations. She chose Baili Shouyue as her hero, stunning everyone. All eyes were on Jingjing’s Baili Shouyue. Her first shot landed perfectly, proving her skill. Then she and Yu Tu fought together across the battlefield, showing impeccable coordination.

With strong teammates supporting them, Jingjing’s sharpshooting amazed the entire venue. Later, the five teammates overextended and got wiped out, leaving the team discouraged and fans anxious. But Yu Tu stayed calm. His Zhuge Liang hero revived first and scored a Quad Kill. His skill stunned even the professional players, who all wanted to watch the replay. Compared to the first match, this one was even more thrilling.

After roaming the map with dominance, Team Lucky Arrival secured the win with one decisive team fight. As victory was declared, the crowd erupted in cheers. Teammates high-fived to celebrate, and when Jingjing stood up, she almost stumbled in her high heels. Yu Tu rushed to steady her. Their eyes met, both shining with light. This touching scene was caught by Mr. Su, who stared at Jingjing and couldn’t look away. Jingjing’s performance won over the nation’s fans.

During the post-match interview, the host showered her with praise. Her chemistry with Yu Tu made fans happily accept him as “brother-in-law. ” With that, the exhibition match came to an end. Jingjing went to receive her award for the next segment, while Yu Tu waited for her with her phone. After the event, Jingjing returned wearing Yu Tu’s coat to find him. Yu Tu planned to take the subway home, but Jingjing grabbed his hand, wanting to take the VIP exit with him. He could only agree.

Jingjing and Yu Tu rode back in the driver’s car. Yu Tu was deep in thought, while Jingjing was checking trending topics online. When she saw they were trending together, she quickly asked Ling Jie to suppress the news—she didn’t want Yu Tu to receive too much attention. After that was settled, she brought up how Yu Tu revealed his profession on stage. Yu Tu admitted he planned to return to the research institute and would start work again tomorrow.

So, he probably could never give Jingjing her “Pentakill” birthday gift. Jingjing was quite disappointed, not just because of the gift but because of Yu Tu’s distant attitude. Yu Tu asked to stop the car midway—he would take the subway home since he had work tomorrow. Jingjing was saddened but still agreed. Watching Yu Tu walk away, Jingjing feared this might be their last goodbye.

She made up her mind to speak her heart and ran after him, mustering the courage to ask if he was willing to be with her. Seeing her hopeful smile, Yu Tu swallowed his pain and rejected her. Jingjing belonged to a dazzling world, while he belonged to another—two people destined to never be together. She had been rejected in high school and now again upon reunion. Heartbroken, Jingjing turned and left, breaking down in tears on the road.

Back home, Yu Tu returned alone. Di Liang happened to be playing games and already knew Yu Tu had played in the match with Jingjing. He even recognized her voice. He wanted to press for answers, but seeing how exhausted Yu Tu looked, he held back his curiosity. The next day, Yu Tu returned to work at the institute. Professor Zhang was pleased to see him and apologized for what he’d said at the restaurant.

He asked if Yu Tu had decided to stay. Yu Tu nodded, and Professor Zhang told him to work hard. In his free time, he brought up Jingjing, saying she was a great girl and worth considering. But Yu Tu said he wasn’t worthy of her. Professor Zhang got angry, saying aerospace was the most romantic profession.

If it was about money, even with a million-dollar salary, Yu Tu might not earn as much as Jingjing—but that didn’t mean he didn’t deserve her. Back at work, Yu Tu devoted himself wholeheartedly. His dedication was recognized by everyone. In the middle of monotonous experiments, he repeatedly conducted trials. During a break, he watched Jingjing’s birthday interview and remembered his promise—he had wanted to give her a “Pentakill” as a gift, but he had broken that promise.

Seeing how Shen Jing suffered from Guan Zai’s long absences, Yu Tu didn’t want Jingjing to go through the same. He couldn’t give her companionship or material stability. How could someone like him be worthy of someone as radiant as Jingjing?

Yu Tu reviewed the detailed reports and blueprints of each subsystem and began to suspect that the failure of the experiment was due to electromagnetic interference. To confirm the resolution of the issue, he conducted a wheel-loading test. After resolving the problem, Yu Tu allowed a colleague to leave work early since it was his girlfriend’s birthday. Later, Director Hu and Professor Zhang came to see Yu Tu.

They affirmed Yu Tu's work capabilities, and Director Hu informed Yu Tu that he would be taking over part of Guan Zai's work next month. Only then did Professor Zhang learn that Guan Zai was about to undergo surgery. This matter couldn't be kept a secret for long; Director Hu, Professor Zhang, and the others came to wait outside the operating room. Fortunately, the surgery was very successful, and everyone felt greatly relieved.

Yu Tu visited the hospital after Guan Zai woke up, informing him that he was returning to work at the research institute. The two chatted briefly about work. Guan Zai guessed that Tong Bo would be the one taking over his next project, but Tong Bo had a conservative mindset, and his project might not have an international edge in a few years. In contrast, the younger generation represented by Yu Tu had more forward-thinking ideas.

So, they decided to use the project to persuade Professor Zhang to lead it, allowing them to continue with Guan Zai's plan. Guan Zai named the project "Soshén. " In Beijing, Xia Qing arranged to meet her best friend for drinks. Her friend could tell that she still cared about Yu Tu. Although Xia Qing never regretted breaking up with Yu Tu, she was firmly opposed to Yu Tu having any connection with Jingjing. He could date anyone—except Jingjing.

Because of this, she decided to head to Shanghai. Upon arriving in Shanghai, the first thing Xia Qing did was organize a class reunion. Yu Tu was unavailable, so he asked Di Liang to decline the invitation on his behalf. Unable to see Yu Tu at the gathering, Xia Qing had to call him directly, asking who Miss Qiao from the last reunion dinner was. Without hesitation, Yu Tu told her it was, of course, Jingjing.

After hanging up, Yu Tu went home and ate instant noodles. Di Liang, on Xia Qing’s behalf, tried to invite Yu Tu out again, but Yu Tu declined. Xia Qing, unwilling to give up, asked for the address of the research institute and insisted on waiting for Yu Tu at a nearby café.

The two had broken up in the past because of the conflict between dreams and reality, but Xia Qing now had unresolved feelings and decided to pursue Yu Tu again. Yu Tu couldn't refuse Xia Qing's persistence and went to meet her. Xia Qing admitted that she came to Shanghai because she couldn't let go and didn't want to lose to Jingjing.

Upon seeing Yu Tu, she subtly probed about Jingjing, hinting that someone like Jingjing wouldn’t have survived in the chaotic entertainment industry without support. Yu Tu was displeased by her words. He apologized for their past breakup but made it clear that they were in the past, and he no longer had any feelings for her. After meeting Xia Qing, Yu Tu watched Jingjing’s interview again, his mind full of her.

Di Liang mentioned the growing distance between Jingjing and Yu Tu—how she now disappeared without a word, acting like a distant celebrity. Yu Tu explained that Jingjing hadn’t logged in to play games again and that she had given him two concert tickets, but he didn’t pass them on to Di Liang. This time, Jingjing didn’t disappear for no reason—it was his fault. He had upset her and asked Di Liang not to misunderstand Jingjing.

After confessing to Yu Tu and being rejected, Jingjing immersed herself in work, trying to bury her emotions and forget him. Yu Tu wasn’t doing much better; he remained gloomy, to the point where even Di Liang was worried about him before leaving. Time passed, and the New Year arrived. Jingjing, busy with schedules, sat alone in a luxurious hotel watching fireworks outside the window, her expression filled with loneliness. Yu Tu also spent New Year's Eve alone at home.

On the first day of the New Year, Yu Tu left Shanghai. Before his business trip, he went home to surprise his parents. Since he was often away, his rare visit delighted them, and they happily prepared his favorite dishes. The three enjoyed a warm family moment together. After dinner, Yu Tu returned to his room to rest. He recalled his old desktop computer from high school and pulled it out. This computer held all his high school memories.

Logging into QQ, he saw his old chat history with Jingjing, who had once messaged him as an aerospace enthusiast. He had always responded coldly, so Jingjing had joined his aerospace fan group to be closer to him. Seeing the group chat records now, Yu Tu realized that after he rejected her, Jingjing had tried hard to get into the same university as him to stand by his side. But he never noticed her efforts at the time.

Memories of Jingjing flooded back—teaching her to play games, her dream of Tsinghua University. It turned out her desire to get into Tsinghua wasn’t for her fans, but for him. Jingjing had always remembered his dream of aerospace, and while others doubted him, she had believed in him the most. In the end, he had let her down—he had hurt a girl who deeply loved him.

That evening, Yu Tu went for a walk with his mother, who asked about what was on his mind. Yu Tu told her that he had planned to resign and return to the institute. She regretted pushing him into studying finance back then and expressed her pride in him. She only hoped that he would start making choices for himself and not for them.

She also brought up the topic of marriage, wishing he could find a kind girl who didn’t need to be rich or beautiful. Yu Tu thought of Jingjing and, understanding his feelings, smiled slightly and said he liked the opposite of that. After the short break, Yu Tu flew straight from home to Dunhuang to reunite with fellow aerospace dreamers. The land was covered in vast yellow sand, where they would live for a month.

At the Dunhuang desert base, Yu Tu and his team began experiments on the X3-2 rover. Every step was precise and careful, and every piece of data was vital. After the high-pressure testing, colleagues turned to their own ways to relax, but Yu Tu just deeply missed Jingjing. He reread their old chat records, unsure of how to break the silence between them. Engineer Zhou mistakenly thought Yu Tu was chatting with his girlfriend.

Yu Tu didn’t deny it but simply said the messages were from the past. When an issue arose in the testing, Yu Tu and the team quickly analyzed the problem without even finishing their meals. They successfully identified the cause. A sandstorm swept across the desert. Later, Yu Tu and his colleagues went to shower. Engineer Zhou had previously overheard a voice message from Jingjing asking Yu Tu to bring her breakfast.

Everyone was surprised—Yu Tu always ate breakfast at the cafeteria, so did he have a girl at the institute? Yu Tu said nothing and left after his shower. That evening, Guan Zai called Yu Tu. He mentioned hearing from President Li that Yu Tu didn’t join any card games during his spare time and instead spent time alone stargazing, which had enchanted all the young women.

Yu Tu chuckled—he had actually won too many times in the card games and got kicked out. President Li had asked Guan Zai if Yu Tu had a girlfriend. Guan Zai brought up Jingjing. The institute's group chat had been sharing their gameplay videos, and now everyone knew they were classmates. Guan Zai could tell Jingjing liked Yu Tu a lot and thought they had potential.

Jingjing was the girl Yu Tu couldn’t stop thinking about, but Yu Tu always wondered what he could offer her—he had no money, not even time to be by her side. Guan Zai was moved by Yu Tu’s words but conveyed Shen Jing’s message: relationships can’t be measured like that. Though Yu Tu knew this, he still didn’t know how to deal with the situation. Time flew, and a month passed quickly.

Yu Tu and his team successfully completed their field experiment. Everyone celebrated together in Dunhuang. Alone in his room, Yu Tu picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Jingjing. The next day, the team headed back. Upon returning to the institute, Yu Tu immediately held a meeting to discuss modifications to Project One. He brought the name suggested by Guan Zai: “Soshén.

” Its mission was to search for the truth of humanity and Earth within the vast universe, to seek the possibility of another miracle existing in the infinite unknown, and to prove that humanity is not alone. Snow continued to fall in Shanghai. Jingjing had just attended the Starry Awards. As Ling Jie advised, she changed clothes and headed to the celebration party. Unexpectedly, she ran into her ex-boyfriend, President Su.

President Su approached Jingjing, saying it had been a long time. He immediately brought up Yu Tu, asking if he was the reason for their decisive breakup. Jingjing smiled without responding. Later, President Su apologized, admitting that the leaked video of Jingjing playing games had been shared by his ex-girlfriend. He had only wanted to keep a copy, never expecting the later consequences. He was impressed by Jingjing’s performance in the exhibition match and wanted to get back together.

Faced with his emotional appeal, Jingjing firmly refused. She saw through his act—if she hadn’t won, would he even bring up reconciliation? It wasn’t because of Yu Tu that she broke up with him. She had been serious about their relationship, but when President Su asked her to give up her career, she realized he never saw her as his equal. His condescending attitude doomed their relationship from the start. After the celebration, Jingjing returned home.

Ling Jie kept urging her over the phone to invite Yu Tu to dinner, but Jingjing didn’t mention anything between them, using her busy schedule as an excuse. Then, she found a letter from Yu Tu in her mailbox. In the first letter, Yu Tu answered the QQ message she had sent him back in high school, which he had ignored at the time. Now, he patiently responded.

In the next few letters, Yu Tu explained the development history of modern aerospace and deep space exploration, ending the last one by asking if she would return to Yixing for the Spring Festival. Her thoughts returned to high school. She had been cheerful during the New Year, only to hear from friends that Yu Tu was getting together with Xia Qing. That night, she deleted everything related to him and cried.

Overwhelmed by memories, Jingjing couldn’t hold back her tears. She opened the WeChat window with Yu Tu and poured out her feelings: she thanked him for the replies, but said they no longer meant anything to her. On New Year's Eve, Jingjing's parents came to celebrate with her. The family enjoyed dinner together while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Afterward, Jingjing looked at her chat with Yu Tu again. He hadn’t responded, and she couldn’t help but feel sad.

On the first day of the new year, Jingjing's parents returned early to Yixing. After finishing her schedules, Jingjing also planned to head home but unexpectedly saw Yu Tu in the parking lot. He had learned from Pei Pei when she would return and took the driver’s place to send her back himself. During the ride, neither spoke.

Yu Tu admitted that he had come from Yixing just to see her—he had been anxious after reading her message and just wanted to be by her side. At a rest stop, Jingjing went to the restroom while Yu Tu waited patiently outside. As she was about to get back into the car, Yu Tu stopped her and asked, “Does it really all mean nothing to you anymore?

Qiao Jingjing believed that the reason Yu Tu wrote her those letters was because she had been too foolish in the past; what he felt for her was gratitude, not love. Yu Tu knew how silly it was to write those letters every day, but his deep affection for Jingjing was real. He had done the dumbest things in his life for Jingjing and had long regretted his initial rejection.

He had been struggling all this time and finally couldn’t help but surrender to her. Today, he wanted to use his deep affection to formally ask Jingjing if she was willing to be with him. Faced with Yu Tu’s heartfelt confession, Jingjing couldn’t say no, but just the thought of agreeing to him made her feel uneasy. Yu Tu pulled Jingjing into his arms and kept apologizing—it was he who hurt her. The two opened up to each other.

Jingjing didn’t want to accept someone who liked her just a little less. Yu Tu knew she hadn’t said yes, but he was willing to wait and use his own way to touch her heart and make her understand his profound love. Yu Tu walked Jingjing home, and the two watched the first fireworks of the New Year together. He asked her when she would return to Shanghai and planned to come pick her up.

Back home, Jingjing was no longer the lofty, lonely female celebrity. She played cards with her family and kept checking what time Yu Tu got home, feeling distressed that it took him half an hour to get back. On the other side, Yu Tu returned home. His mother noticed he got home in the middle of the night and suspected it was because of a girl.

She was a little unhappy that he stayed out so late and came home distracted. Yu Tu’s father, feeling drowsy, simply told her not to meddle in their son's affairs. The next day, Yu Tu messaged Jingjing to ask if she was up and suggested they go have tofu pudding together. Jingjing didn’t reply, and Yu Tu grew anxious, finally calling her. Jingjing was out digging bamboo shoots with her family. When her phone rang, she deliberately didn’t answer.

Her younger brother picked it up and handed it to her. On the phone, Yu Tu found out Jingjing was in the mountains. He wanted to meet, but Jingjing kept refusing, so he had to hang up and planned to come pick her up on the fourth day of the New Year. Later, Yu Tu brought his cousin, hoping to run into Jingjing in the mountains, but she had just left by car.

The two missed each other, and Yu Tu didn’t get to see her. In Taihua City, Jingjing visited her grandfather's house and dug up a bunch of bamboo shoots. After dinner, she returned to Yixing with bags of them. She originally didn’t want to go out again, but upon hearing her family mention how much Dongjiu had changed, she remembered Yu Tu saying Yixing had changed a lot. She decided to go out for a walk. Just before boarding the car, her best friend Pei Pei spotted the driver’s license in the car. She casually opened it and was shocked to see Yu Tu’s photo on it.

Pei Pei asked Jingjing about everything between her and Yu Tu, wanting to know if the two had gotten together. Jingjing glossed over their reunion and denied being with Yu Tu. Seeing that Jingjing didn’t want to talk, Pei Pei dropped the matter and didn’t pressure her, only asking her to help rank up in Honor of Kings. Ever since Jingjing played in an exhibition match, Pei Pei had become very interested in the game.

While Pei Pei was playing, Jingjing couldn’t help but look through her chat history with Yu Tu. Pei Pei was surprised that Yu Tu had sent Jingjing a string of messages. Knowing how proud the academic god was, she told Jingjing not to keep him hanging. Jingjing pouted—she hadn’t done that. Later, Pei Pei asked to borrow Jingjing’s account to play, and Jingjing, helpless against her acting cute, handed over her phone.

Pei Pei discovered Jingjing had an extremely high win rate and was shocked to find she had two “Pentakill Supreme” achievements. The “Pentakill Supreme” had extraordinary significance for Jingjing. She took the phone and looked carefully, finally understanding everything. Yu Tu hadn’t forgotten her birthday present. After playing the exhibition match, he gave her two Pentakill Supremes as gifts. She just hadn’t logged into the game and didn’t see them.

If someone gave you a birthday gift without saying a word, Pei Pei believed he must have had his reasons. Jingjing couldn’t help but recall Yu Tu’s confession that night. She had thought Yu Tu liked her less, but he had been full of deep affection. To Yu Tu, love wasn’t an impulse but something well thought out. He wanted to give Jingjing a better life and fulfilling companionship. With all misunderstandings cleared, Jingjing couldn’t wait to see Yu Tu.

When she heard from Pei Pei that high school classmates were having a KTV gathering, she immediately agreed—she had decided to go see Yu Tu. Yu Tu’s mother and aunt wanted to set him up with someone, but he flatly refused—he didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. He hadn’t planned to attend the high school reunion, but when he heard Jingjing would be there, he decided to go.

Stuck in traffic, Yu Tu anxiously stared at the unmoving cars, afraid he would miss seeing Jingjing. Determined, he got out of the car and ran all the way to the KTV to see the girl he deeply loved. Jingjing didn’t see Yu Tu at the KTV and was a bit disappointed, but she didn’t let it ruin the mood and went on stage to sing a song.

Before the song ended, Yu Tu had already arrived at the private room. He entered Jingjing’s world and watched her finish the entire song. After it ended, Yu Tu was surrounded by male classmates, but his gaze never left Jingjing. He walked toward her and, in front of everyone, asked if she had come to the reunion because of him. Yu Tu’s tenderness left Jingjing unable to resist. She decided not to argue with him anymore.

Yu Tu wanted to take Jingjing away. Jingjing was embarrassed to leave so many people behind and said she would sit for a while longer. But Yu Tu leaned in and kissed her, then walked out with her, leaving the others stunned. Yu Tu led Jingjing out, gently helping her into a coat and wrapping her scarf. Jingjing asked about the Pentakill Supremes, and Yu Tu patiently explained that he hadn’t told her because they weren’t played together.

After talking about the game, Yu Tu asked if Jingjing had accepted him, but she didn’t give a direct answer, only saying there was still something he hadn’t done. She told him to go back and think it through. Just then, someone entered the emergency stairwell. Afraid Jingjing would be recognized, Yu Tu pulled her tightly into his arms. With Jingjing around, even the emergency stairs no longer felt safe—but he had already gotten used to it.

Yu Tu took Jingjing to their high school. In the familiar environment, they reminisced and held each other’s hands. They had missed their chance in high school. Now, Yu Tu only wanted to love Jingjing for the rest of his life. In the place where their youth once lived, Yu Tu leaned in and kissed her. At last, they opened their hearts and came together.

Jingjing shared her girlish fantasy with Yu Tu—she once imagined him as a brilliant aerospace scientist returning to their alma mater, with her as his partner by his side. Yu Tu told Jingjing honestly that he wasn’t a genius. He used to be overconfident in high school and only realized the vastness of the world after going out. But he was willing to keep working hard for Jingjing and one day fulfill her fantasy.

After visiting their old school, the two walked home hand in hand through the falling snow. Yu Tu walked Jingjing to her doorstep. Jingjing decided to temporarily keep their relationship a secret from her parents. She would return to Shanghai tomorrow, and Yu Tu could accompany her as an old classmate. To make his visit to her house seem less abrupt, Jingjing had even planned a cover story.

Seeing the clever and playful Jingjing, Yu Tu couldn’t help but smile and recall the time she tricked him into coming to her house to fix the air purifier. After washing up, Jingjing lay in bed, waiting for Yu Tu to contact her. He only sent a WeChat message saying he’d call later—he was reporting to his mom. Jingjing waited and waited until she fell asleep.

The next day, when Yu Tu called, she asked what kind of report he had been making. Yu Tu chuckled—his mom asked who he had been meeting these past two days. Since Jingjing didn’t want to meet the parents yet, he didn’t reveal her identity. After talking, Yu Tu went downstairs to shovel snow. Jingjing brushed her teeth and suddenly had an idea. She drove alone to find Yu Tu and help him shovel snow.

Relying on memory, Jingjing found Yu Tu’s home and appeared in front of him. Yu Tu was delighted and immediately hugged her. The moment they embraced was witnessed by Yu Tu’s mother, who asked who Jingjing was. Before Yu Tu could respond, Jingjing blinked and said she was his girlfriend. It was just that Yu Tu never brought her home, thinking his parents wouldn’t like her, so she had to come on her own. Yu Tu took the fall.

His mother, knowing Jingjing was his high school classmate, was thrilled they ended up together but still strongly reprimanded Yu Tu for his behavior. Later, Yu Tu took Jingjing out to eat tofu pudding. His mom called to confirm their relationship and scolded him for not telling her earlier. She had wanted to invite Jingjing for a meal, but since Jingjing had to return to Shanghai that afternoon, she had to give up and plan for next time.

Yu Tu took Jingjing to the lake. He drove the boat, surprising her with his skill. When the boat reached the middle of the lake and stopped, Jingjing wondered why. Yu Tu simply said the boat ran out of gas. Then he pulled Jingjing close and kissed her, leaving her face full of sweet romance. Afterward, Jingjing returned home for dinner. She told Yu Tu to wait outside while she laid the groundwork.

Then he could come in as her high school classmate. Once everything was ready, Jingjing asked Yu Tu to come inside so they could leave together. Her parents offered Yu Tu a cup of hot water, but he declined, saying he would have many more chances to visit. Actually, he was Jingjing’s boyfriend. They had been in a long-term relationship, but Jingjing never wanted to bring him home and insisted he say he was just an old classmate. Turning her own trick back on her, Yu Tu helped Jingjing carry her luggage, leaving her stunned and her parents eager to know the full story.

Yu Tu returned to Shanghai with Qiao Jingjing. Jingjing’s parents questioned her over the phone, and she found herself unable to explain. In their eyes, she had become someone irresponsible and inconsiderate of others’ feelings. Yu Tu was very satisfied with what he had done, believing that Jingjing had made the first move. In his parents' eyes, he too was seen as irresponsible and indifferent.

Later, Di Liang sent Yu Tu a voice message, saying he would find a girlfriend before Yu Tu. Jingjing replied to Di Liang on Yu Tu’s behalf, catching Di Liang completely off guard. He immediately made a video call to Jingjing. On the call, he saw Yu Tu’s smug smile and learned how Yu Tu had once dismissed her, even claiming she was just like anyone else on the street.

Yu Tu realized he’d been thrown under the bus and quickly explained that when he said Jingjing was everywhere, he meant he constantly saw her advertisements on the streets—literally everywhere. Through Yu Tu’s WeChat, Jingjing sent Di Liang’s contact card. After the two added each other, they played a few games—even after returning home, they kept playing. Yu Tu couldn’t bear it anymore and took the phone, helping Jingjing win.

Later, Yu Tu took Jingjing to retrieve a letter—his final letter to her. He believed that once Jingjing read it, everything between them would become clear. Yu Tu read the letter to Jingjing word by word. Jingjing, drowsy from his voice, checked the time and urged him to catch the last subway. But Yu Tu candidly told her he would stay the night. From now on, he would take the initiative in their relationship.

He admitted he wasn’t good at taking the lead and asked Jingjing to be honest if he ever overstepped. Jingjing had to leave for an out-of-town shoot the next day, and Yu Tu planned to take her to the airport at 8 a. m. Faced with such a proactive Yu Tu, Jingjing felt happy from the bottom of her heart. The next day, Xiao Zhu came to see Jingjing and was shocked to find Yu Tu at her place.

She brought breakfast for Jingjing, but Jingjing only ate the one Yu Tu ordered. The two shared and fed each other, even wiping each other’s mouths. Xiao Zhu looked on, stunned, instantly understanding their relationship. After breakfast, Yu Tu took Jingjing to the airport. Ling Jie was delighted to see Yu Tu and decided to start preparing a PR plan. She also told Yu Tu to wear a mask when going out in the future.

As the two said their goodbyes, Yu Tu prepared to return to Yixing. Since Jingjing would be filming for over two months, he realized he had worried too much. Her filming schedule was even longer than his business trips. There was no telling who was delaying whom. After saying goodbye, they kissed through their masks. Ling Jie and Xiao Zhu looked away in embarrassment.

On the plane, although Ling Jie didn’t oppose Jingjing dating, she was very concerned about the details. She wanted to prepare a PR plan in advance, but Jingjing, still immersed in her romance, wasn’t paying much attention. Yu Tu and Jingjing began a long-distance relationship, sharing details of their daily lives. Yu Tu even sent photos of all three meals each day, surprising his colleagues. He simply said it was a newly developed dating mini-program.

Despite being apart for days, their bond only deepened. They worked while on video calls together, never interfering with each other, yet full of affection.

Jingjing started filming. She got stuck on a scene where Director Li thought her emotions weren’t full enough. He yelled “cut” multiple times and paused filming to talk to her. Jingjing was feeling low. Yu Tu called, but she didn’t pick up because of a sore throat and instead chatted by text. Although the scene eventually passed, she still felt disheartened.

Yu Tu comforted her, saying failure was part of daily life for him, so achieving success in the end was what mattered. His words cheered Jingjing up and made her appreciate how wonderful it was to have a soulmate. Yu Tu went on a business trip to Xi’an with his colleague Da Meng. During a video call, Jingjing received praise from the screenwriter who visited her on set, making her very happy. Yu Tu’s work wrapped up successfully.

During the call, he mentioned how Da Meng had asked about the WeChat mini-program. Jingjing saw that Yu Tu had saved her contact as “AI Girl,” chuckled, and said goodbye, not even mentioning the upcoming Starlight Gala in Shanghai. Yu Tu later played basketball with a colleague. They exchanged selfies, and Yu Tu, longing for Jingjing, called her. He missed her deeply and wanted to know when they could meet. In a blink, 26 days had passed.

Jingjing had to return to Shanghai on Saturday for an event. She would finish filming a few scenes in the next few days and could fly back Friday afternoon. As soon as she got time off from the director, she told Yu Tu, who planned to pick her up at the airport. Yu Tu picked up Jingjing, and they acted affectionately in public.

Xiao Zhu couldn’t bear to watch and told them to go off on their own—she had other things to do. The two got into a car together and were photographed by paparazzi, who planned to release the photos on April 1 to expose Jingjing. Unaware, Yu Tu and Jingjing got stuck in traffic on the way home. Realizing Jingjing’s place was too far, Yu Tu suggested they go to his place instead, and Jingjing agreed.

Paparazzi tailed them all the way to Yu Tu’s home. As soon as they arrived, Yu Tu couldn’t help but kiss Jingjing. He brought her inside and took out the slippers he had prepared for her after the New Year. At Yu Tu’s home for the first time, Jingjing was very curious. She saw a model of the Yutu Rover and toured Yu Tu’s room. His room was spotless, filled with books inside and out. Jingjing was surprised.

Yu Tu gave her a rocket plushie. Although she had eaten on the plane, she still had a few bites of the noodles Yu Tu made, only to find them too hard—she couldn’t bring herself to compliment his cooking. She gave the noodles to Yu Tu instead. Then her best friend Chen Xue called to play a game. Yu Tu offered to play for Jingjing, saying he could help Chen Xue rank up to “King” in about an hour.

However, Yu Tu overestimated himself. Using a new hero, he suffered a crushing defeat—losing three times in a row. Finally, after switching to another hero, he won. By then, it was already midnight. Jingjing’s place was too far, so Yu Tu asked her to stay. He gave her his bedroom and slept in the guest room. Jingjing had no choice but to agree.

As Yu Tu went to tidy the guest room, Jingjing realized she had been tricked—Yu Tu had been stalling all along. She challenged him to use the “Diamond” account for solo queue and get 15 kills with the new hero. If he did, she would stay. Yu Tu had no choice but to win the match with 15 kills. Jingjing realized he had been stalling and still wanted to go home, but Yu Tu hugged her.

He said he didn’t have to work tomorrow and could accompany her to the event. He’d been working overtime and hadn’t rested well. It was too late to take her home now. Jingjing, moved and worried about him, agreed to stay the night.

Jingjing chatted with Chen Xue and admitted she had a boyfriend—an outsider to the entertainment industry. Not only was he extremely good-looking, but he was also a bit petty and cunning. Chen Xue thought Yu Tu sounded like a scumbag. Meanwhile, the paparazzi waited outside Yu Tu’s place, trying to catch them together. They photographed Yu Tu taking a suitcase from Jingjing’s car—clearly, they planned to spend the night.

Yu Tu brought Jingjing a plush toy of the spacecraft and took spare pillows and sheets from the master bedroom, which he gave to Jingjing. Jingjing chatted with Chen Xue, who made some R-rated jokes that left Jingjing’s heart pounding. Unable to sleep, she went out to find Yu Tu, who was still working. She asked what he was doing.

Yu Tu admitted he was reading academic papers to calm himself and told Jingjing to stay in the room or he wouldn’t be able to control himself. His words were so blunt that Jingjing blushed and quickly returned to her room. She even asked Ling Jie to send her the interview script—she needed to calm herself too. The next morning, Jingjing woke up and gave Yu Tu a good morning kiss.

Yu Tu had already prepared breakfast and ate with her. During breakfast, Jingjing told Ling Jie not to come pick her up—she had stayed at Yu Tu’s place. Ling Jie immediately saw through Jingjing’s need to “calm herself” last night and decided to come over anyway. The group left together and was photographed again by the paparazzi, who followed their car, hoping to uncover more explosive material. Yu Tu acted as driver and took Jingjing to the event venue.

So they could stay together longer, Jingjing gave him a disguise and made him pose as her stylist. Yu Tu’s looks drew attention from all the women, even Jingjing’s makeup artist praised him. After makeup, Jingjing had to do an interview. The reporters were too sharp, so Ling Jie told Yu Tu to wait elsewhere. Yu Tu always supported Jingjing’s career and wasn’t the possessive type.

He didn’t mind her wearing revealing gowns—he simply picked a lighter one for her in a straight-man fashion. Afterward, Yu Tu went to a café to work. Many women approached him for his WeChat, but he turned them all down. His behavior earned unanimous praise from the three paparazzi tailing him. They followed him all the way to Jingjing’s event and took a flurry of photos. Jingjing attended the event in a stunning red dress.

Afterward, she went to meet Yu Tu. Yu Tu complimented her beauty and asked about the fans calling her “wifey. ” Jingjing smiled and asked if he was jealous. Yu Tu gave a slight smile. No matter what, Jingjing went home with him. Later, Xiao Zhu came to find Jingjing, worried she’d be interrupting. But the couple had already gone back to Yu Tu’s place.

Yu Tu, full of passion, could no longer contain his love after holding back the night before. Back home, the two kissed passionately. Yu Tu mentioned how she hadn’t spent enough time with him and asked her to make it up. Embracing her tenderly, he brought her into the master bedroom. The two clung to each other and finally became one, deeply in love.

The three paparazzi had been staking out Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing. When they saw Yu Tu escorting Qiao Jingjing to the airport, the two not only hugged goodbye but also made a heart gesture, which convinced them even more of their romantic relationship. After several days of surveillance and following, they genuinely felt the love between the two, so they decided to edit the footage nicely.

At the same time, they wanted to continue following Yu Tu to dig into his identity. After Qiao Jingjing left, Yu Tu returned to his disciplined, solitary life. The three paparazzi were very impressed by his healthy lifestyle. They followed Yu Tu all the way to the aerospace institute, snapping photos wildly until they were caught by security personnel and mistaken for spies.

Yu Tu received a call from Director Hu and, upon arriving at the office and learning what had happened, found the situation both amusing and exasperating. He explained that he was indeed in a relationship with Qiao Jingjing and had spent the entire three-day vacation with her. His account matched exactly what the paparazzi said. The security personnel realized it was all a misunderstanding and decided to release the paparazzi after giving them a lecture.

They also reminded Yu Tu to be mindful of confidentiality while in a relationship. After seeing off the security officers, Director Hu congratulated Yu Tu on falling in love, calling it a good thing, but advised him to keep a low profile. Yu Tu told Qiao Jingjing about the incident with the paparazzi, and she, too, found it funny and told Ling Jie about it.

Ling Jie was venting to her husband when the leader of the paparazzi, A Dou, called to apologize and thank her, promising to bury the scoop deep in his heart. Ling Jie agreed with a smile but regretted wasting money on PR. Two years later, Qiao Jingjing was filming in the desert when rumors of her and Yu Tu resurfaced on trending searches.

Ling Jie noted that over the past two years, they had been caught by the media many times and made the trending list frequently, but the rumors always died down because Qiao Jingjing never made their relationship public. This saved her the trouble of spending money on PR. Later, Ling Jie called Qiao Jingjing. Due to poor network coverage in the desert, Qiao Jingjing only then heard about the trending news. Ling Jie suggested she go public.

Considering the sensitive nature of Yu Tu’s work, Qiao Jingjing declined, and Ling Jie respected her decision. She only reminded Qiao Jingjing to get along well with Zhou Ziqi and avoid conflict. Everyone in the crew knew that Qiao Jingjing and Zhou Ziqi had not gotten along for years. As soon as they met, they exchanged superficial greetings laced with barbed comments. After one scene, the director praised Qiao Jingjing highly.

Zhou Ziqi was not pleased but admitted Qiao Jingjing’s acting had improved greatly. During a break, Zhou Ziqi’s boyfriend visited the set, and everyone enjoyed the free food and drinks. Her assistant also brought food for Qiao Jingjing, who instantly recognized it as greasy and salty and didn’t eat a bite.

Xiao Zhu, knowing Yu Tu would also be visiting, feared he might pale in comparison to Zhou Ziqi’s flashy boyfriend and suggested he bring food too and claim reimbursement from Ling Jie. Qiao Jingjing understood Xiao Zhu meant well but didn’t want Yu Tu to be overshadowed. Still, since Zhou Ziqi’s boyfriend had made such a big show of it that the director was already annoyed, she preferred Yu Tu to come and go quietly.

Before filming, Qiao Jingjing asked Xiao Zhu to meet Yu Tu. He arrived in a handsome outdoor outfit, and Xiao Zhu’s eyes lit up at the sight of him, confident he could outshine Zhou Ziqi’s boyfriend. She took Yu Tu to Qiao Jingjing, who was in the middle of a tough shoot. After finishing the scene, she ran up and embraced Yu Tu, expressing how much she had missed him. Yu Tu looked at her dotingly and took her away.

Since she only had one scene that day, she had planned to spend time with him the next day. However, Yu Tu had to fly back to Shanghai that evening at 6 for a meeting the next day. Disappointed but understanding, Qiao Jingjing hugged him tightly.

Back at the tent, Qiao Jingjing wanted to spend more intimate time with Yu Tu, but he went out to install a signal booster for her so she wouldn’t be out of touch for hours. The director was deeply moved by Yu Tu’s thoughtfulness and, upon learning he was leaving at 2 p. m. , postponed filming by an hour so the couple could have more time together.

As Yu Tu prepared to head to the airport, the director came to thank him with food. The two said goodbye reluctantly. Someone from the crew posted details online about both Qiao Jingjing and Zhou Ziqi’s boyfriends visiting the set, and netizens were amazed that Qiao Jingjing’s boyfriend was a science and engineering man. That night, Yu Tu video-chatted with Qiao Jingjing. His colleague Da Meng woke up and popped into the frame.

Qiao Jingjing jokingly pretended to be live streaming her traditional makeup look. Though she thought Da Meng wouldn’t believe it, the gullible guy did, and he was surprised by Yu Tu’s vast knowledge. Yu Tu returned to the aerospace institute. Guan Zai had recovered and was back. Yu Tu showed him the experimental data, and Guan Zai was impressed—Yu Tu’s capabilities had exceeded expectations. That day, Qiao Jingjing wrapped filming and returned to Shanghai.

The workaholic Yu Tu left on time for once to meet her. Guan Zai reminded him to bring Qiao Jingjing over for a meal sometime. Back in Shanghai, Qiao Jingjing felt a bit jealous. Guan Zai was back at the institute, and Yu Tu was absorbed in work—not the type to skip work to pick her up at the airport. Despite her frustration, she told the driver to take her to Yu Tu’s home.

When Yu Tu arrived, he saw her napping. He changed and lay down to rest with her. Initially, he just wanted to cuddle, but Qiao Jingjing’s mischievous hands sparked a romantic moment. Afterward, Yu Tu asked how long she would be staying in Shanghai. Qiao Jingjing replied that she was leaving the next day. Yu Tu looked disappointed—he had thought she would stay for over two months. The film had overrun, and she had to leave earlier than expected.

Yu Tu went to cook dinner for her and received a call from Ling Jie. From the call, he learned Qiao Jingjing would, in fact, be staying for over two months. Remembering what she said, he felt upset. Though he prepared dinner, his tone was cold. Qiao Jingjing, noticing his mood, felt sad and worried he was angry.

As they lay on opposite sides of the bed, Yu Tu brought up the call and asked if she had anything to explain. Qiao Jingjing couldn’t explain well—she just wanted to surprise him and spice things up. Yu Tu, uninterested in explanations, pulled her into another affectionate moment. Yu Tu converted a storage room into a walk-in closet for Qiao Jingjing. She was touched and delighted by his gift. They hugged, treasuring the warmth of the moment.

The next day, Qiao Jingjing saw Yu Tu off to work. She redecorated the apartment into a cozy home and proudly showed off the changes, inviting friends to visit. Later, Ling Jie and Xiao Zhu came by. When they saw the double-layered rotating wardrobe Yu Tu had built, they praised him nonstop. They also talked about Yu Tu’s daily expenses, and Ling Jie was amazed that a former luxury-loving star like Qiao Jingjing now cared about budgeting for Yu Tu’s ¥10,000 monthly loan payment.

Ling Jie and Xiao Zhu helped Qiao Jingjing organize her clothes, and she treated them to a big meal and gave Xiao Zhu a two-month vacation. Ling Jie worried that Qiao Jingjing might be overly lovestruck, but Qiao Jingjing was clear about what she wanted. She didn’t want to chase after fleeting fame but hoped to become someone of true value, focusing more energy on quality work.

Ling Jie didn’t push her and was comforted to see her growth, promising to help her find better projects. That night, Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu visited Old Guan’s house for dinner. Over the past two years, Qiao Jingjing had grown close to Shen Jing, and the two happily cooked a meal together. But Yu Tu seemed preoccupied during dinner. Even Shen Jing noticed.

She worried he wouldn’t accept the news, but Old Guan believed Yu Tu would eventually come around. On the way home, Yu Tu reflected on Old Guan’s decision: because of his health and the project’s progress, Old Guan had decided to step down from the “Soshen” project—despite the fact that he had even named it. Yu Tu couldn’t understand it. Qiao Jingjing noticed his mood and comforted him.

Though they would no longer work on the same model, they were still moving forward for the same goal—just like the two of them, walking side by side in different fields. Ling Jie officially approved Qiao Jingjing’s two-month leave. Qiao Jingjing suddenly worried that spending every day with Yu Tu might reveal incompatibilities. Yu Tu tightly hugged her. They continued to spend their days and nights gaming together.

Later, Yu Tu planned a dinner for his colleagues—partly to welcome Guan Zai back, and also to introduce Qiao Jingjing to everyone. On the weekend, Da Meng—being the only single one in the group—arrived first. He wanted to save money by eating in the main hall, but Yu Tu insisted on a private room, since Qiao Jingjing’s identity needed discretion. Everyone else showed up in couples, leaving Da Meng complaining alone until Yu Tu arrived with Qiao Jingjing.

Da Meng was dumbfounded and even got a bad photo taken by Guan Zai. As he begged Guan Zai to delete it, he accused Yu Tu of being in the "secret service" for keeping this secret. Since Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing were high school classmates, he even suspected they'd been together for over a decade.

Qiao Jingjing laughed at Da Meng’s message and wondered what it would’ve been like if they had been together that long—but felt their later reconnection was also beautiful. After being apart for half a year, they cherished every moment together like a married couple.

Qiao Jingjing had a great relationship with Yu Tu’s mother. She made a video call to show off the newly renovated home, and Yu Tu’s mother was overjoyed by their strong bond. It happened to be the weekend, and Chen Xue didn’t have any work in Shanghai. She called Jingjing and invited her and Yu Tu over for dinner. She also invited Duan Wu and Film Emperor Zhou so they could play mahjong after dinner.

Jingjing flatly refused to play mahjong, thinking it would make them seem unserious in front of Yu Tu, who was a scientist. Chen Xue immediately understood and decided to create an academically themed gathering. Jingjing arrived at Chen Xue’s house on time with Yu Tu. Duan Wu and Film Emperor Zhou were already there, rehearsing a script. Jingjing introduced Yu Tu, and the group mentioned that they were short an actor and dragged Jingjing into rehearsing with them.

After the rehearsal, the four of them discussed the script. Chen Xue confessed that they had originally been playing Dou Dizhu, but switched to acting when they saw Yu Tu and Jingjing arrive. When the academic atmosphere subsided, Yu Tu praised Jingjing’s acting. However, he also pointed out a bug in the script related to the starship. Surprised, Jingjing and the others handed the screenwriter’s number to Yu Tu.

After discussing the script’s flaw with the writer, the writer was thrilled and even added Yu Tu on WeChat to consult him further. Yu Tu was not only handsome but also highly capable. Chen Xue was thoroughly impressed and finally understood why Jingjing chose Yu Tu over Su Ye. She asked Jingjing, if she didn’t make so much money as an actress, would she still choose Yu Tu?

Jingjing first praised herself—she had the looks and was hardworking—saying that even as a livestreamer, she’d be rolling in money. Of course, if she didn’t have money, she’d hold on to Yu Tu even tighter. Yu Tu overheard this and chuckled softly, eyes filled with affection. At the aerospace institute, a basketball game was being held. One player got injured, and the institute wanted Yu Tu to sub in.

Though he wanted to spend time with Jingjing, he couldn’t resist their persuasion and called Jingjing to explain. That evening, Jingjing came to watch the game. Yu Tu had prepared corn juice for her. She left her ID at the gate, and the guard was surprised to see her. Ever since Da Meng had seen Jingjing, he’d been boasting about Yu Tu’s beautiful girlfriend.

Yu Tu officially introduced Jingjing at the game, stunning everyone—it turned out the star was Qiao Jingjing. Jingjing was always down-to-earth and approachable. She didn’t act like a diva and focused entirely on Yu Tu’s game after meeting his colleagues. Just like back in her youth, she cheered enthusiastically for him on the court. Yu Tu’s skills were just as good as back then, and his three-pointers earned endless praise from Jingjing.

After leaving the institute, she compared their ID photos. Yu Tu smiled and romantically hinted at marriage, asking when Jingjing would take a photo with him for their marriage certificate. Yu Tu’s intention to propose was obvious. Jingjing, swept up in happiness, visited both families with Yu Tu to discuss engagement and marriage. Later, they drove back to Shanghai. Jingjing discovered a group wedding event on Yu Tu’s institute’s official account and was excited—she wanted to join.

Jingjing kept urging Yu Tu to sign up for the group wedding. Yu Tu, knowing Jingjing had many ideas, didn’t take her seriously, thinking she’d soon change her mind. But this time, Jingjing was determined. Only twelve spots were available, and she planned to persuade their parents. After much discussion, both families were convinced and agreed to the group wedding. However, Yu Tu seemed uneasy.

His parents noticed the tone in his voice and advised him to talk things through with Jingjing. Yu Tu, usually a workaholic, unusually took time off. Troubled, he returned home and watched an old jewelry interview Jingjing had done two years earlier. In her fantasy, the wedding was supposed to be very romantic—not a group ceremony. Yu Tu didn’t want her to settle for less. That night, he drove 200 kilometers to Hengdian to speak with her.

He brought up the wedding she once imagined and didn’t want her to compromise due to money. He wanted to give her the best. Jingjing hadn’t expected Yu Tu to misunderstand. She hugged him tightly and opened her heart. She truly wanted a group wedding. The words in the interview had been made up on the spot. She wanted a simple wedding that belonged only to the two of them—no socializing, no trending topics, no stress.

Even though other couples would be present, they’d focus only on each other, and that was enough. Hearing this, Yu Tu’s eyes filled with tenderness. He admitted his previous proposal had been too hasty and proposed again, saying he didn’t want to miss out another 13 years due to his biases. He hoped Jingjing would spend the rest of her life with him, promising to love her forever. Jingjing said yes, and they embraced tightly.

The next day, Yu Tu returned to the institute and signed up for the group wedding. Secretary Wang was quite surprised and even suspected Yu Tu had changed girlfriends. The news shocked several leaders. Professor Zhang even called Yu Tu in to ask if he had financial difficulties and offered help. Yu Tu thanked him but explained that they simply wanted a low-key wedding. If the wedding leaked, they’d escape on the spot.

Professor Zhang, relieved Yu Tu was finally marrying, just told him to take good care of Jingjing. On the wedding day, all the brides wore veils. Yu Tu and Jingjing had kept their participation secret, and their appearance surprised everyone. Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the makeup artist had an emergency and couldn’t make it. Everyone grew anxious. Jingjing stepped in and sponsored a makeup team, resolving the crisis.

While everyone was getting their makeup done, Yu Tu whisked Jingjing away to the wedding venue to rehearse. Jingjing thought it would be a simple event, but Yu Tu had prepared a romantic surprise. She was deeply touched, and they walked the stage hand in hand. During the actual wedding, they stayed close, with Yu Tu kissing Jingjing—completely focused on each other. Photos of Jingjing and Yu Tu spread online, shocking netizens. Jingjing publicly announced the marriage, simply posting “I love you too” in response to Yu Tu’s “I love you” at the wedding.

Five years later, both Jingjing and Yu Tu continued working hard in their respective fields. Ling Jie asked Jingjing about her schedule for the second half of the year. If she wasn’t taking any projects, they could consider having a child. Jingjing smiled and said she and Yu Tu were already planning to have a daughter. Later, Yu Tu called Jingjing.

He’d been on assignment at the base for several months and invited her to visit and watch the rocket launch. The base had recently opened visits for family members. After five attempts, Yu Tu finally got a spot and invited Jingjing to the Cape Launch Center to see him at 38. Jingjing joined the aerospace family group and arrived at the Cape Launch Center on schedule. Yu Tu greeted her at the entrance.

They took the sightseeing cable car to the base hotel. Yu Tu introduced the center, saying aside from the amazing food, this was where he would send the Soshen Hao into space. Jingjing, without hesitation, told him this would become her favorite launch site. Yu Tu took Jingjing to the family area and headed off for meetings. All the researchers were making final preparations for the Soshen Hao launch, ensuring everything was perfect.

After the meeting, Yu Tu returned to the room. Jingjing, now familiar with the base thanks to Professor Zhao and the others, was very understanding. She told Yu Tu to focus on work and said she could take care of herself—and even planned to take the other family members on a tour. Jingjing booked a guide and led all the family members on a joyful trip.

Only the hardworking aerospace workers remained behind, jokingly complaining to Yu Tu that ever since Jingjing arrived, they had no late-night snacks and had to carefully pick photos for their spouses every night. Yu Tu listened and called Jingjing, saying he had received complaints. Jingjing smiled, asked him to turn on speakerphone, and did the same. The moment the group heard their wives' voices, they had no complaints left. Yu Tu smirked and slowly ended the call.

That night, Yu Tu returned to the room. With the rocket launch only two days away, Jingjing decided not to go out anymore and stay to take care of him. As the launch approached, Yu Tu was understandably nervous. The Soshen Hao represented the dreams of tens of thousands over a decade and billions in national investment—he couldn’t afford mistakes. As they lay in bed, Jingjing mentioned that Xiao Hu’s wife, Xiao Li, seemed upset.

She’d been sick, and Xiao Hu couldn’t return. Jingjing wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say. Yu Tu said to let things happen naturally—if someone couldn’t endure the long wait that came with being the spouse of a space worker, they couldn’t be forced. Later that night, Jingjing woke to find Yu Tu standing alone on the balcony, gazing at the launch pad.

In the early morning, Yu Tu got up quietly, kissed Jingjing, and gently turned off her alarm. Twelve hours before launch, everyone was racing against time to check every system of Soshen Hao—China’s first inner-solar-system probe. It carried not only ten years of youth but the hopes of a nation. Eight hours before launch, Yu Tu led the final round of verifications. They had waited a decade for this moment.

Jingjing and the other family members arrived at the command center to await the team's entrance. Yu Tu and the others slowly entered the hall. Jingjing was thrilled to see him, knowing the team was under immense pressure. Due to an issue with space arrangements, families could not stay in the hall for the launch and were moved downstairs.

Before leaving, Jingjing glanced at Yu Tu hard at work, remembering the high school boy who had dreamed of flying beyond the solar system—and she had never doubted he would one day become a brilliant aerospace engineer. Now he had achieved that dream. An hour before the rocket launch, space enthusiasts everywhere were anxiously counting down. As the final seconds ticked down, the rocket soared into the sky.

Cheers erupted from around the world as people celebrated China’s achievement—built on every painstaking second contributed by the scientists. As the rocket entered space, researchers at the command center watched nervously. Once it successfully delivered Soshen Hao into orbit, they cheered wildly. Yu Tu held his breath until Soshen Hao settled into its proper trajectory. Only then did everyone truly relax.

The mission was a complete success—their hard work had paid off, and they had begun their journey to the stars. The room was filled with joy. Deputy chief engineer Xiao Hu gave an interview. Xiao Li, watching on-screen, was deeply moved. In that moment, she forgave Xiao Hu. Jingjing suggested everyone wait together for their loved ones. Xiao Hu came to get Xiao Li.

Seeing the tension, Jingjing mentioned that Xiao Hu had been writing apology letters to lighten the mood. Finally, Xiao Li reached out her hand, and they went home together. Yu Tu walked out of the hall. Jingjing thought he would call her first, but he called Guan Zai instead. He had finally fulfilled the mission entrusted to him. Then he called Jingjing, telling her that Soshen Hao carried so much meaning.

From high school until now, he had achieved his dream—he was now a rabbit who had seen the stars. Jingjing congratulated him and walked out from behind him. The two embraced each other tightly. The journey of Soshen Hao was long and arduous, and they would continue to strive, not only for their dreams but also for more stars and a more distant starry river.
