Episode 5 recap: Once a comrade, always a comrade.
Qi Lei's wife, Mi Lan, called again, asking about Yu Qi Lei's resignation and complaining about not being able to see her husband for their child. Before Yu Qi Lei could say much, the alarm at the station rang, and they had to go on a mission, so he had to hang up the phone. Lin Lu Xiao understood Yu Qi Lei's difficulties and took over the team, allowing Yu Qi Lei to rest.
After returning from the mission, Yang Zhen Gang and Lin Lu Xiao held a meeting to discuss shooting a promotional video. The firefighters at the station were excited about the idea of appearing in a TV program and expressed their thoughts and ideas. However, Lin Lu Xiao dismissed them with a single sentence and ended the meeting early. Yang Zhen Gang pursued the matter with Lin Lu Xiao, questioning him in the office. Lin Lu Xiao mentioned the problems at Yu Qi Lei's home, causing Yang Zhen Gang to worry about it first.
Lin Lu Xiao appreciated Yu Qi Lei's professional skills and recruited him to the station. However, the work at the station was busy, and after Yu Qi Lei joined, he rarely went home. It was not easy for Mi Lan to take care of the child alone, so Lin Lu Xiao was torn and troubled. He didn't want Yu Qi Lei to leave, but he couldn't solve the problems at Yu Qi Lei's home. On the other hand, Yang Zhen Gang believed that talking to Yu Qi Lei could make him stay.
After arguing with Lin Lu Xiao for a while, Yang Zhen Gang thought it would be easy to ask Yu Qi Lei to stay. However, when he reached Yu Qi Lei's room, he couldn't bring himself to say it. Yu Qi Lei had been urged by Mi Lan several times, and he couldn't ignore the well-being of his family, so he started writing a resignation letter. But when he saw Yang Zhen Gang, he suddenly hesitated and took the letter back.
Lin Qi won an award overseas, but only a few people in China knew about it. Although he signed with a company, his career wasn't as easy as he had imagined. Ma Zong signed Lin Qi, but didn't actually arrange any performance work for him. Instead, he always arranged social events and dinners, and scolded Lin Qi harshly for the incident at the police station.
Lin Qi's travel expenses were covered by Lin Lu Xiao, and when Lin Qi returned, Lin Lu Xiao supported him financially, making him reluctant to trouble Lin Lu Xiao further. As a result, Lin Qi didn't dare to discuss any issues with Lin Lu Xiao and could only talk to Nan Chu. One evening, Lin Qi was called by Ma Zong to a dinner gathering. He initially planned to play the violin and avoid drinking, but Ma Zong insisted that he drink alcohol and ended up getting him drunk.
Upon returning home, Lin Qi accidentally misplaced his keys. With no other options, he had to call Lin Lu Xiao for help. Lin Lu Xiao arrived to open the door for Lin Qi, accompanied him back home, cooked some food, and tucked him in bed. Lin Qi woke up in the middle of the night and saw the noodles cooked by Lin Lu Xiao, feeling a complicated mix of emotions.
Jiang Ge wanted to collaborate with Han Dong on a firefighting-themed program and suggested having Xu Zhi Yi participate. However, Han Dong felt that having only Xu Zhi Yi as a celebrity wasn't cost-effective. They discussed the matter and decided to include the newcomer, Nan Chu. Due to Jiang Ge's personal issues with Nan Chu, he didn't want her to be on the show. Han Dong and Shen Guanghong were both embarrassed by this situation.
When Nan Chu arrived at the company, she learned that her issues with Jiang Ge were affecting her work. She also had a strong desire to be part of the firefighting-themed program. Therefore, she directly approached Jiang Ge to discuss their problems. Nan Chu explained the previous events and emphasized that she hadn't done anything wrong. However, the news had been distorted and created various versions in China, which negatively impacted Jiang Ge. Nan Chu offered to issue a statement to explain the situation on Jiang Ge's behalf.
Nan Chu explained the previous events and shared her personal experience of being rescued by firefighters. She expressed her strong desire to showcase the heroic deeds of firefighters and her enthusiasm for making the program a success. She asked Jiang Ge to give her a chance. Jiang Ge was moved by Nan Chu's words and immediately called Han Dong, discussing the possibility of signing Nan Chu and requesting some resource exchanges in order to allow Nan Chu to appear on the show.
Liu Ru Yi accidentally came across a half-written resignation letter from Yu Qi Lei, which led her to feel resentful towards him. The others were unaware of the situation between Liu Ru Yi and Yu Qi Lei and could only silently observe. Yu Qi Lei couldn't help but question Liu Ru Yi about her behavior. Liu Ru Yi blamed Yu Qi Lei for being a deserter and exposing his intention to resign. Yu Qi Lei had to explain his thoughts and feelings to Liu Ru Yi.
Yu Qi Lei wanted to resign because he felt guilty towards his family, but he didn't want to be seen as a deserter. He wanted to become a good firefighter. Yu Qi Lei's words resonated with everyone since they all faced similar dilemmas. They wanted to excel as firefighters but also felt they were letting down their families. Therefore, everyone understood Yu Qi Lei but couldn't bear to see him leave.
During a mission, Chen Yi Long coincidentally encountered Lei Da Gang, who was a firefighter. Chen Yi Long wanted to take advantage of their childhood connection and gain some benefits, so he sent many beverages to the firefighting station. Lei Da Gang considered their relationship to be solid and didn't think much of Chen Yi Long's gesture. He directly brought the drinks back to the station. However, Lin Lu Xiao refused to accept them and instead transferred the money to pay for the beverages.
