Spoiler Alert
This time, Wei Zhi and her bestie are back for more training. While riding the ski lift, Wei Zhi notices that both Shan Chong's and the nearby coach's phones ring simultaneously. It turns out the coaches' group chat is buzzing about Shan Chong's new, adorable student. They ask the coach to add Wei Zhi to the chat, but Shan Chong pretends not to notice.
Training takes a new turn today. A rival, who has always doubted Shan Chong's "King of Skiing" title, shows up on the mountain, ready to challenge him. All the other skiers are hyped, eager to witness the King's skills, and they become an enthusiastic cheering section.
Shan Chong and his challenger make a bet. Seeing his opponent's cool goggles, Shan Chong declares that if he wins, he gets the goggles as a prize. In just a short while, Shan Chong predictably wins the race and, true to his word, snatches the goggles right off his opponent's head.
Jiang Nanfeng, who was present at the competition, records the thrilling race on her phone. She assumes that when Wei Zhi sees the video, she'll recognize the amazing skier as the "Poster Guy" she's been crushing on. However, while Wei Zhi gushes over the video, she completely fails to realize that her ski instructor is the very person she's been longing to meet.
Early the next morning, Shan Chong waits at the training spot with the goggles he won, planning to surprise Wei Zhi. But he overhears Wei Zhi still talking about how the Poster Guy is "so near, yet so far," and he's speechless. He ends up not giving her the goggles.
The skier who challenged Shan Chong is named Dai Duo. He's generally carefree and dashing, but always losing to Shan Chong leaves him frustrated. Dai Duo knows Shan Chong's sister and calls her to complain.
Shan Chong receives a call from his sister, a manga fan. Her first concern is that the art style of her favorite manga, "Azhai," seems to have changed. Then, she gossips about why Shan Chong took Dai Duo's goggles. Shan Chong is only interested in his sister's comment about the manga's style change. He glances at Wei Zhi in the distance, guessing what kind of story she might be creating at that moment.
Wei Zhi, still unaware that Shan Chong is the Poster Guy, complains that Shan Chong not only has a bad temper but also lacks qualifications as a coach, causing her to fall frequently. She also mentions her crush on the "Ski King" and her desire to get the Poster Guy's contact information. But by chance, Wei Zhi spots the bracelet on Shan Chong's wrist – the same one the Poster Guy wears. Her face turns red – she realizes she's been saying all these embarrassing things in front of him.
Wei Zhi stammers an apology and asks why Shan Chong didn't tell her sooner. Shan Chong is exasperated, pointing out that she's the only one at the entire training ground who didn't recognize him, especially as her coach. Regardless, the misunderstanding is finally cleared up. Shan Chong is secretly pleased. Wei Zhi worries that the ski god might dislike her as a fan, but Shan Chong wants to tell her that's not the case – perhaps the ski god has had a crush on her for a long time.
Wei Zhi accidentally rips her small turtle plushie. Shan Chong personally sews it up. His roommate is astonished to see the ski god so adept at needlework, as if he's discovered a new continent. The next day, when the roommate sees Wei Zhi receiving the repaired doll, he advises her to treasure it, as it's a handmade item from a god-level figure.
