Episode 26 recap: It was almost perfect.
Nan Chu got injured and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor prescribed medication and advised her to rest, but Nan Chu only wanted to get a local anesthetic injection so she could deal with her dancing matters before focusing on her injury. The doctor warned Nan Chu that if she received the anesthetic injection, it could cause muscle damage, and once the medication wore off, the pain would intensify. However, Nan Chu wasn't concerned about that and insisted on getting the injection.
Lin Lu Xiao, Liu Ru Yi, and Yu Qi Lei gathered together for a meal and drinks. Yu Qi Lei took the opportunity to express his conflicts with Mi Lan during their vacation. He realized that he had an increasing number of problems at home and felt overwhelmed, unable to handle everything. It was only when he was working tirelessly that he felt a sense of existence.
Yu Qi Lei admitted that Mi Lan was right in calling him selfish. The more he tried to solve the problems at home, the more they seemed unsolvable, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Liu Ru Yi comforted Yu Qi Lei and pointed out that Mi Lan was already doing a great job taking care of everything at home, making her a remarkable woman.
After comforting Yu Qi Lei, Liu Ru Yi reminded Lin Lu Xiao to pay attention to his relationship with Nan Chu and not to encounter the same problems as Yu Qi Lei. Lin Lu Xiao believed that he and Nan Chu were both passionate about their careers and trusted each other. He was confident that this trust would help them overcome any future challenges.
Once Lin Lu Xiao assured them that he had no issues, Liu Ru Yi then talked about his own problems. He felt that he was dedicated to his career, always at the forefront when facing danger, but he couldn't seem to solve his romantic issues. Liu Ru Yi vented his frustrations but didn't mention his work-related problems, and he went to the restroom to sober up.
Yu Qi Lei privately asked Lin Lu Xiao if he had really stopped caring about situations like Liu Ru Yi's in the station. Although Lin Lu Xiao didn't have a solution yet, he was aware of the situation and was making efforts for the harmony and progress of the station.
Nan Chu received the local anesthetic injection, endured the pain, and completed the dance video. She sent the video to Deng Yi and finally got the opportunity to perform at the Beixun Grand Theater. Nan Chu was happily celebrating with everyone when Lin Lu Xiao appeared at the door, joining in the joy. This made Nan Chu even happier.
Lin Lu Xiao realized that Nan Chu's leg was in severe pain, so he carried her back and then returned to the station. Lou Ming Ye, knowing that Lin Lu Xiao took Yu Qi Lei out, waited for him to come back and questioned him. However, Lin Lu Xiao stated that he had everything arranged and had already discussed it with Meng Guo Hong, leaving Lou Ming Ye with nothing to say.
Lin Lu Xiao explained that he took Yu Qi Lei out because Yu Qi Lei had something on his mind but wouldn't talk about it. Lin Lu Xiao could only invite him for a drink and a chat.
Lou Ming Ye couldn't understand Yu Qi Lei's concerns. He believed that every firefighter should separate their personal life from work and not let personal matters affect their job. At least he could do that himself.
Lin Lu Xiao told Lou Ming Ye that they both saw firefighting as their faith, while others saw it as just a job. He advised Lou Ming Ye not to impose his own standards on everyone else, leaving Lou Ming Ye speechless.
When Lou Ming Ye couldn't convince Lin Lu Xiao, Lin Lu Xiao directly brought up the upcoming Family Open Day event. Lou Ming Ye didn't support it, but he couldn't oppose it either and could only remain silent. The next day, Lin Lu Xiao announced the event, and the firefighters were all happy about it. Lou Ming Ye explicitly stated his opposition and told everyone to go to Lin Lu Xiao for any matters, holding Lin Lu Xiao responsible for everything.
Yu Qi Lei happily called Miao Miao and Mi Lan, wanting them to come together for the Family Open Day event. However, Mi Lan refused. Mi Lan believed that if they wanted Yu Qi Lei to come back, he might not necessarily come back, so she didn't want to attend the event.
Nan Chu's leg was in severe pain, so she had to go back to the hospital for another check-up. She found out that dancing after getting the injection had worsened her foot injury. The doctor prescribed medication and advised her to rest. Despite the doctor's advice, Nan Chu didn't go back immediately after the appointment. She received a call from Deng Yi, who informed her that the performance at the Beixun Grand Theater was canceled because all the slots were filled.
Nan Chu felt really upset after receiving the call. All her efforts during this period went down the drain, and she couldn't accept it. Feeling down, Nan Chu went out alone to clear her mind. Xi Gu returned with the medicine but didn't find Nan Chu and couldn't reach her on the phone, causing great concern. Lin Lu Xiao also couldn't reach Nan Chu but received a message from her saying that she was fine.
Han Dong and Shen Guang Zong tried to help Nan Chu when she was feeling down. Shen Guang Zong suggested that Han Dong invite Director He Zheng Ping to secure a role in his play. When Nan Chu returned, she was still unhappy. To cheer her up, Lin Lu Xiao used the invitation letter for the Family Open Day.
After comforting Nan Chu, Xi Gu received a call from Shen Guang Zong, who informed her that he was drunk and collapsed on the street. Xi Gu immediately went to pick him up. Upon meeting Shen Guang Zong, Xi Gu learned that he had gotten drunk because of Nan Chu. She took him to the hospital and took care of him while he received intravenous fluids.
On the day of the Family Open Day, Ping'an Station warmly welcomed every family member. Lou Ming Ye, with a displeased expression, watched the scene unfold. To his surprise, Lin Lu Xiao had brought his mother to the event, which made him happy. Yu Qi Lei, thinking he was the only one without any family present, stood alone in the corner, feeling disappointed.
