Spoiler Alert
The episode opens with Su Chengcheng back to normal, enjoying a happy family dinner. Her father even breaks out his special liquor for Tang Qi and Gu Yu. Su Chengcheng expresses her gratitude to everyone for accommodating her while she was experiencing her "filter" issues. However, she suddenly becomes invisible again, worrying her, but it turns out to be a prank orchestrated by Tang Qi. Gu Yu captures the heartwarming dinner and posts it online, officially announcing Su Chengcheng and Tang Qi's relationship. Su Chengcheng is thrilled by the positive online response and posts a romantic caption. The news surprises many of their classmates, who can hardly believe it's real.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan prepares a romantic evening for Gu Yu. But upon seeing online comments suggesting Su Chengcheng's photos are photoshopped, she gets into a heated online argument defending her friend. Gu Yu is slightly disappointed that Lin Yuan's attention is elsewhere, but he remains supportive. However, a disagreement arises between them, leading Lin Yuan to angrily kick Gu Yu out, who makes sure to blow out the romantic candles on his way out.
Back at work, Tang Qi and Su Chengcheng are seen holding hands in the elevator, displaying their newfound affection. Colleagues are curious, but Su Chengcheng assumes it's because of their relationship. It's only when she exits the elevator that a coworker asks why she isn't wearing makeup. Su Chengcheng declares she's embracing her true self from now on.
Lin Yuan wakes up to a message from Gu Yu, who has prepared breakfast for her, but she doesn't eat it. While watching TV and eating her own breakfast, Lin Yuan receives a call from her editor, demanding her manuscript. Sensing Lin Yuan's distress, the editor decides to visit her.
To expand their business and strengthen their brand, "Chirping Birds," Tang Qi, Zhou Jinli, and Gu Yu decide to open a physical store. This marks a significant step for the company.
The editor arrives at Lin Yuan's place, bringing her favorite cheesecake. Lin Yuan, committed to her "authentic self" policy, tells the editor not to retouch her interview videos. The editor, exasperated, suggests Su Chengcheng should stop wearing makeup altogether, which Lin Yuan surprisingly agrees to. The editor then mentions Lin Yuan's rival, Xiaoya, causing Lin Yuan to vomit. She blames the editor's cake. Observing Lin Yuan's lack of appetite, fatigue, and sleepiness, the editor suspects pregnancy and gives her a pregnancy test.
Lin Yuan discovers she's pregnant and, overwhelmed, messages Su Chengcheng. Su Chengcheng, in the middle of handing documents to Gu Yu, rushes out and then back in, claiming illness and requesting time off. She hurries to Lin Yuan's, who confirms the pregnancy with multiple positive tests. Due to her family background, Lin Yuan has never wanted children and is now in a state of anxiety.
The episode concludes with a twist. Su Chengcheng accompanies Lin Yuan to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. There, they run into Gu Yu, who is there with his mother for a checkup. Initially, Gu Yu doesn't think much of it, but after seeing a pregnant woman with similar paperwork, he realizes Su Chengcheng and Lin Yuan are at the obstetrics and gynecology department. This suggests that it is Lin Yuan, not Su Chengcheng, who is pregnant, raising questions about the father's identity and the future of Lin Yuan and Gu Yu's relationship.
