Jiang Xun rejected Jiang Yongqiang’s demand for three million, then fought back when Jiang Yongqiang attacked him with a dagger. Fu Yanli rescued him and restrained Jiang Yongqiang, but afterward Jiang Xun sensed that Fu Yanli was in an unusual mood.
After rescuing Jiang Xun from Jiang Yongqiang, Fu Yanli took him and Sangbiao to the pet hospital and dinner, where Jiang Xun tried to set boundaries between them. Fu Yanli agreed to keep his distance, then drove to a Zhongyu Group warehouse where Jiang Yongqiang was being held.
Fu Yanli beat Jiang Yongqiang and forced him to reveal that Jiang Zixing had known the truth about the switched children for three years and had been paying him to keep it secret. Fu Yanli returned to the apartment to find Jiang Xun and Chu Xingye playing with Sangbiao, and their joking abruptly stopped when he entered.
Jiang Xun noticed what looked like blood on Fu Yanli’s sleeve and grew wary of his uncle, then spent the next day avoiding studying and teasing Jiang Huaijin. After Jiang Zixing fainted and reconciled with his family, Fu Yanli messaged Jiang Xun and summoned him to the office, promising something good.
Jiang Xun went to Zhongyu Group, where Fu Yanli gave him a recording exposing Jiang Zixing’s long-kept secret and arranged to spend the weekend with him in exchange for the favor. When Chu Xingye left for City B with concert tickets Fu Yanli had given him, Jiang Xun realized Fu Yanli had cleared the way for their time together, and Fu Yanli told him to pack for an imminent trip.
Jiang Xun traveled with Fu Yanli to a hot spring resort, where Fu Yanli teased him about watching a shirtless streamer and insisted he join him for a soak. Afterward, Fu Yanli helped dry him off and handed him a bathrobe, leaving Jiang Xun unexpectedly flustered.
Jiang Xun ran into Ye Jing and her close friend Song Yan at breakfast, mistook Song Yan for a man, and realized Ye Jing and Fu Yanli both knew about her relationship with Song Yan. The four planned to watch a meteor shower together, and the chapter ended when Fu Yanli offered to take Jiang Xun’s disliked sticky rice chicken.
Jiang Xun learned that Ye Jing and Song Yan were secretly together, while Fu Yanli admitted he intended to win Jiang Xun over despite his connection to Chu Xingye. At the campsite, Jiang Xun settled in for the night with Fu Yanli, then received a quest to whisper that Fu Yanli was being cheated on.
Jiang Xun completed his task by telling Fu Yanli that Ye Jing was having an affair with Song Yan, then showed him photos as proof. Fu Yanli reacted calmly and asked Jiang Xun to be with him, suggesting he become Xingye’s aunt.
Fu Yanli confessed that he wanted to win Jiang Xun over, but Jiang Xun rejected his advances while struggling with his attraction and concern for him. They ended up sharing a sleeping bag, where Fu Yanli held Jiang Xun and said he wanted to kiss him.
Jiang Xun spent the morning after the camping trip in Fu Yanli’s oversized clothes, while suspecting Fu Yanli had kissed him in his sleep. After returning to City A, Jiang Xun reminded Fu Yanli to give him the recording he had promised.
Jiang Xun retrieved the recording of Jiang Yongqiang from Fu Yanli and awkwardly hid from Chu Xingye before receiving a teasing gift from him. Meanwhile, Jiang Zixing asked Li Wenhao to keep his biological father away from the Jiang Family, setting up a confrontation over the recording and Jiang Yongqiang’s demands.
Jiang Xun was blackmailed by Ji Yuntian into going on a date after Ji sent him compromising photos of Jiang Xun with Fu Yanli. He canceled his movie plans with Chu Xingye, but Chu saw him arrive at the cinema with popcorn and a drink for Ji Yuntian.
Jiang Xun was forced to watch a movie with Ji Yuntian while Chu Xingye fumed at his side, then took them to an upscale Club where they ran into Bai Lian. The three entered a VIP room, and Jiang Xun ordered the Club’s most expensive liquor on Ji Yuntian’s tab.
Jiang Xun got drunk after one glass and tried to make Chu Xingye, Bai Lian, and Ji Yuntian swear eternal sisterhood. He fell asleep after singing to them, and Chu Xingye told his uncle over the phone that Jiang Xun was dead.
Fu Yanli drove from City C to rescue his drunken nephew and found Jiang Xun asleep among Chu Xingye, Bai Lian, and Ji Yuntian at a club. He brought Jiang Xun and Chu Xingye home, then went to help Jiang Xun, who mumbled that he needed to pee.
Fu Yanli cared for a drunken Jiang Xun, who touched his abs before Fu Yanli bit his ear. Ji Yuntian returned to rehabilitation, where Ji Ming attacked him for stealing a project.
Ji Ming attacked Ji Yuntian over a business project, but Ji Yuntian received evidence that Fu Yanli had uncovered his hidden actions and warned him to stay away from Jiang Xun. After waking from a drunken night and remembering Fu Yanli had kissed his ear, Jiang Xun spent the day with Chu Xingye and Sangbiao before suddenly proposing that he and Chu Xingye get engaged over winter break.
Jiang Xun announced that he planned to get engaged to Chu Xingye, angering Jiang Huaijin and provoking Fu Yanli to corner him and demand that he take responsibility for what happened between them. As Chu Xingye searched for Sangbiao nearby, Jiang Xun quietly urged Fu Yanli to move away before they were discovered.
Fu Yanli kissed Jiang Xun while they hid from Chu Xingye, then advised Chu Xingye to delay getting engaged to Jiang Xun. The chapter ended with Jiang Huaijin arriving and summoning Jiang Xun downstairs, as Jiang Xun noticed Fu Yanli still in the apartment.
Jiang Xun hurried away from Fu Yanli and returned to the Jiang family villa with Jiang Huaijin, who teased him about Chu Xingye and bought him street food. At home, Jiang Xun reunited with his parents and praised his father’s homemade soup, though he asked him not to make it again.
Jiang Zixing learned that Jiang Yongqiang had died and secretly celebrated the end of the threat against him. Jiang Xun returned to Fu Yanli’s apartment, where Fu Yanli apologized for kissing him and asked to kiss him again, while Jiang Xun unknowingly began using peach lip balm under someone’s watchful eyes.
Jiang Xun discovered that Fu Yanli had installed a camera in his bedroom and had been watching him, after spending the evening relaxing in front of it. He hid his anger and embarrassment, unsure how to react while Fu Yanli continued monitoring him.
After discovering that Fu Yanli had been watching him through a hidden camera, Jiang Xun tried to act as though nothing was wrong while planning to escape after finals. He woke from a frightening dream and realized that he could barely hear in either ear, then rushed out in panic.
