A Yue told Lin Zi Lu that Mr. Wu wanted him to participate in a variety show, but Lin Zi Lu was hesitant. They all slept together on the floor and suddenly couldn't fall asleep.Su Qiao's uncle came over and told them that youth is about daring to think and do, even if it ends in failure. Yu He came over and asked Lin Zi Lu what he had decided. Lin Zi Lu said he still didn't want to go. Yu He asked Lin Zi Lu if he knew why A Yue told him about this. A Yue actually hoped that regardless of whether Lin Zi Lu could afford to participate in the variety show or not, they could still have a meal together and introduce himself. A Yue didn't mention it to Lin Zi Lu because he was afraid of losing even a friend.

Lin Zi Lu refused the variety show but recommended Lin Zi Lu to go. Yu He felt that Lin Zi Lu had changed. A Yue and the others were about to leave, and Su Qiao specially wore a support T-shirt and came to take a photo with A Yue. Yu He said that what happened yesterday was just acting and asked Su Qiao not to be angry, but when leaving, he touched Lin Zi Lu's face, which made Su Qiao feel annoyed as well.

Everyone gathered on the rooftop, and each person expressed their dreams, firmly determined to pursue them. Su Qiao wanted to continue running the convenience store, but unexpectedly, Su Qiao's uncle told Su Qiao that the convenience store would be demolished because the village wanted to build a road. Su Qiao was extremely angry and felt that his uncle just wanted to take the compensation money and get married. Su Qiao drove his uncle away, expressing his desire to make him homeless since he wanted to leave him homeless.

Su Qiao's uncle wanted to get into the car but found that it was locked with a chain by Su Qiao.

Su Qiao's uncle called Teacher Yu, but Teacher Yu had gone to the city and wouldn't be back so soon. Su Qiao's uncle stayed outside for a day, and Su Qiao didn't look for him either. Grandma Liu happened to see this and asked Su Qiao's uncle to go back with her.

Grandma Liu brought some food for Su Qiao's uncle, and the two of them chatted, reminiscing about when Su Qiao's uncle made a wish at the Wishing House. Grandma Liu revealed that she was the one who fulfilled his wish. Su Qiao's uncle was surprised and touched, grateful that Grandma Liu had encouraged him back then.

Su Qiao's uncle had a lot to drink, and Lin Zi Lu came to pick him up. Su Qiao's uncle expressed that Su Qiao valued the convenience store greatly, but life shouldn't revolve around just one convenience store. He hoped that Lin Zi Lu could persuade Su Qiao a bit more. Su Qiao called the village chief over and announced that he wanted to separate the family assets, giving the house to his uncle and keeping the convenience store for himself.

The village chief is Teacher Yu's cousin and was puzzled when Su Qiao referred to them as family. Su Qiao packed his belongings and slept in the convenience store. Guan Jin Jin and the others messaged Su Qiao, feeling that something was not right. This made Su Qiao even angrier, as he didn't expect everyone to take his uncle's side.
