Spoiler Alert
The episode opens with Sang Yan attending Wen Yifan's graduation ceremony. He watches her from afar, taking in the scene as she poses for pictures. He quietly slips away when she looks for him, a silent observer of her milestone.
Meanwhile, Su Haoan visits Zhong Siqiao's family, enjoying a warm, lively gathering. A big family get together. Wen Yifan goes to Overtime Barlooking for him, but instead has an unwelcome encounter with Che Xingde, a relative of her great-aunt. Luckily, Sang Yan arrives in time to shield her. Che Xingde tries to grab Wen Yifan's arm, but Sang Yan, along with some coworkers, intervenes and forces him to leave.
Sang Yan is worried about Wen Yifan, but she insists she can handle the situation. That night, Wen Yifan's sleepwalking returns, and she fixates on a clock. Seeing her distress and tears, Sang Yan is deeply moved. He holds her hand, guiding her back to bed. She doesn't let go, so he ends up lying down beside her. The next morning, Wen Yifan wakes up draped over Sang Yan, assuming he was the one sleepwalking. He playfully teases that she "carried" him there.
Wen Yifan makes a huge breakfast of noodles, which Sang Yan devours. She tells him to ignore Che Xingde if he shows up at work again. However, Che Xingde is persistent. He's now a security guard at the TV station where Wen Yifan works. When she works late, he confronts her, claiming past misunderstandings and demanding her help, blaming her for his current misfortunes.
Che Xingde grabs Wen Yifan, shoving her against a wall. He threatens to spread rumors about her, claiming she once seduced and tried to kill him. Just as Wen Yifan is terrified, Mu Chengyun arrives, looking for her to join his farewell party.
Sang Yan, concerned about Wen Yifan, also shows up at the restaurant after work. While they're talking, Wen Yifan receives a text from her mother, Zhao Yuandong. The message reveals that Che Xingde was recently in a car accident and that, despite wanting to evict him, Zhao Yuandong is allowing him to stay with her since he now has a "real job." Back at the house, Che Xingde greets Zhao Yuandong, who then cautions Zheng Kejia to dress appropriately.
Later, there's trouble at Sang Yan's workplace. A customer claims food poisoning, bringing both the Market Supervision Bureau and Nanwu TV station to investigate. After handling the crisis, Sang Yan spots Che Xingde lurking outside. The reporters who arrive include Fu Zhuang, and Sang Yan specifically asks him not to mention the incident to Wen Yifan.
It turns out Che Xingde is behind the incident, seeking revenge for being kicked out earlier. He orchestrated the situation, and due to the official investigation and growing public outcry, Overtime Bar is temporarily shut down. Zhong Siqiao calls Wen Yifan with the news. Wen Yifan suspects Che Xingde, and her suspicions are fueled by another text from Zhao Yuandong, who relays Che Xingde's negative opinions about bars and their owners, warning Wen Yifan to avoid "shady" people.
Wen Yifan, drenched from the rain, confronts Che Yanqin and Che Xingde at Zhao Yuandong's house. She warns them to stay away from her and her friends. Che Yanqin brings up the "debt" of raising her, but Wen Yifan retorts that her father covered their family's medical and educational expenses. Zhao Yuandong also mentions raising her, to which Wen Yifan pointedly replies that Zhao Yuandong could afford to raise her but chose not to.
Before leaving, Wen Yifan delivers a final, powerful warning: if they continue to harass anyone in her life, she will fight back with everything she has.
