Episode 10 recap: Xu Jia Cheng visited Tong Yi Wen in the middle of the night.
Lu Zheng waited for Tong Yi Wen outside his house because he had been blocked by her and wanted to know the reason. Tong Yi Wen didn't hide anything and explained that she was originally supposed to participate in a variety show but was replaced at the last minute, most likely due to his mother's influence. Xu Jia Cheng immediately called his mother to inquire about it, but his mother denied doing anything. When Tong Yi Wen learned that it was a misunderstanding, she felt embarrassed and decided to cut off ties with him.
Xu Yan returned home and found his mother-in-law packing Xiao Jie's things. As a mother, she didn't want to see her son-in-law constantly clinging to his daughter. She decided to make him completely let go of his feelings and start a new life. Xu Yan disagreed with this decision, and Xiao Jie wouldn't approve of it either. The mother-in-law planned to marry Uncle Hu and sell the house, which would also solve Xu Yan's worries about the future.
That night, Xu Yan went to talk to Ye Han and told him about his mother-in-law's decision. Ye Han felt that there was nothing wrong with it and that Xu Yan should let go of Xiao Jie, just like how he himself couldn't open up to new feelings and was still holding onto his feelings for Song Jin Ran, fearing that he would end up without answers, just like in his first relationship.
Xu Jia Cheng made an appointment to drink with Li Xiao Xiao. He could only get information about Tong Yi Wen from her and felt that everything was his fault. He wanted to give up on this relationship. He drank one glass after another and eventually fell asleep leaning on Li Xiao Xiao's shoulder. At that moment, Ye Han walked over and saw this scene. He looked heartbroken and asked Xiao Xiao if she saw Xu Jia Cheng's sadness and felt sorry for him. She didn't answer, but Ye Han held Xiao Xiao's hand and said that he didn't have the right to keep her at a distance from others anymore.
Xu Jia Cheng was taken away by a driver, and Ye Han asked Xiao Xiao if she liked Xu Jia Cheng because he had money. Xiao Xiao smiled and said that it was because he had money that she didn't want to be with him. Xu Jia Cheng's car remained parked below Tong Yi Wen's building, and he looked at her one last time before leaving with peace of mind.
The next day, Xu Jia Lin ran into Li Xiao Xiao at a bus stop. Xiao Xiao pretended to be a salesperson and appeared in front of her. Xiao Xiao recognized Xu Jia Lin's voice and they went to a café to catch up. Xu Jia Lin thought that Xiao Xiao still liked her brother and teased her about it, but Xiao Xiao quickly denied it. She said that the situation was a bit complicated and just as she finished speaking, she bumped into Xu Jia Cheng, asking Xu Jia Lin not to say anything.
Xu Jia Lin complained that her brother was blind for not noticing the beautiful woman around him all these years. Lu Zheng secretly gave Xu Yan a water dispenser. When Xu Yan confronted Lu Zheng about it, he discovered that everyone else had also received a water dispenser. Ye Han directly approached Guo Cheng Yun and informed her about the water dispenser situation. Cheng Yun speculated that if someone as stingy as Lu Zheng bought twenty water dispensers, it meant that he was helping a certain woman with her performance.
In light of Ye Han's tip-off, Cheng Yun decided not to increase the rent next year.
Xu Jia Cheng used the excuse of delivering documents to visit Li Xiao Xiao's house, hoping to see Tong Yi Wen. However, Tong Yi Wen was not home at the time, so they ended up having dinner together. Unfortunately, Ye Han also joined the dinner.
Li Xiao Xiao gave Xu Jia Cheng advice on pursuing Tong Yi Wen, suggesting that he should make efforts and occasionally pay attention to Tong Yi Wen's Weibo posts. She also mentioned that their encounters were not purely coincidental. Hearing this, Ye Han remembered how he had observed Li Xiao Xiao for a long time in order to have a chance encounter with her.
Liking someone can be difficult, as one may miss opportunities or choose to turn a blind eye. Ye Han advised Xu Jia Cheng to persevere. Ye Han accompanied Li Xiao Xiao home, and she expressed that her feelings towards Xu Jia Cheng were not the same as before. However, she couldn't immediately cut off her emotional connection with him and needed time. Guo Cheng Yun asked about the water dispenser situation, and Lu Zheng claimed that he was just helping an old classmate, considering that she was divorced and had a child.
Guo Cheng Yun didn't oppose the idea but warned Lu Zheng not to lose his principles. Lu Zheng suspected that there must be a traitor between the brothers. Tong Yi Wen developed a few photos from their recent outing and couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart when she looked at Xu Jia Cheng's picture.
Xu Jia Lin gave Li Xiao Xiao a small gift, which was a large photo of Xu Jia Cheng, hoping that Xiao Xiao would become her sister-in-law. Xiao Xiao declined the photo, but Jia Lin, in an attempt to reconcile their relationship, secretly placed the photo in Xiao Xiao's wallet.
Snow began to fall outside, and Xu Yan received a call from Jia Lin. He went out to greet her, and she ran over and hugged him, saying that it would be very romantic to watch the first snowfall with someone you like. She had a pure and cheerful demeanor, while Xu Yan had always treated her like a little sister.
