Episode 13 recap: Ye Han silently guards Li Xiao Xiao.
The four of them were having dinner at a restaurant when the surveyor asked about their ages. They all claimed to be in their early twenties. Li Xiao Xiao, lost in thought, almost missed her stop on the bus, but luckily Ye Han was following her from behind. That night, Ye Han told Xu Jia Cheng that he knew about Xiao Xiao's secret crush on Jia Cheng, but he couldn't tell Xu Jia Cheng because Jia Cheng liked Xiao Xiao's best friend, and Ye Han himself liked Xiao Xiao.
Xu Jia Cheng was surprised to learn that his buddy actually liked Xiao Xiao. Lu Zheng put a calendar on his desk and tried to dress younger to avoid looking 33 years old, but others could easily tell his real age. Xu Yan had just boarded a bus when a young person offered him a seat. Xu Yan mistakenly thought it was because he looked old, so he deliberately flexed his muscles in front of the young person and said he looked like someone who needed a seat. The young person smiled and said it was just because they were getting off at the next stop.
Meanwhile, a young guy joined Ye Han's company and confidently claimed to be 20 years old, which made Ye Han jealous. The four of them refused to admit that they were already in their thirties. During a dinner gathering at the restaurant, when a market researcher asked about their ages, each of them lied and reported a younger age than the previous person. Li Xiao Xiao found out that Xu Jia Cheng already knew about her secret crush on him, so she spent the whole day feeling like a clown in front of him. She finally understood why Ye Han had stopped her from participating in the competition that morning. It turned out that they had already known everything.
Today, Xu Jia Cheng finally realized that their previous encounters with Li Xiao Xiao were all carefully planned by her. The next day, while Li Xiao Xiao was jogging on campus, Ye Han sent her a message to meet up. Ye Han returned a lipstick to Tong Yi Wen and took the opportunity to inquire about Xiao Xiao's situation. He asked Tong Yi Wen to take care of Xiao Xiao because he liked her.
Xu Jia Cheng intentionally waited for Xiao Xiao to come home. He apologized to her, admitting that he may have done something wrong, and hoped they could continue to be friends. Xiao Xiao sincerely wished him and Tong Yi Wen well and stated that she had already let go of her liking for him. While they were talking, Tong Yi Wen and Ye Han returned home and noticed that Xiao Xiao's expression was off. Tong Yi Wen asked her what happened, and Xiao Xiao said she would explain later, then went back to her room alone.
Xu Jia Cheng asked Ye Han if he had known about Xiao Xiao's feelings for him earlier and why he didn't tell him sooner. Ye Han felt helpless because the person he liked didn't like him back but liked Jia Cheng instead. Now, nobody was feeling good, and it was all because Jia Cheng had opened up about everything and disrupted their current way of getting along.
Tong Yi Wen recalled Xiao Xiao's expression just now and had a rough idea about her feelings for Xu Jia Cheng.
The next day, Ye Han quietly followed behind Xiao Xiao and got on the bus with her. She seemed absentminded and almost missed her stop. After hurriedly getting off the bus, Ye Han continued to silently protect her.
Xu Jia Lin specifically sought out Li Xiao Xiao and sincerely apologized to her. She explained that the purpose of putting up Jia Cheng's sticker was to give Xiao Xiao something to look forward to, but it ended up causing trouble for her. Seeing Xiao Xiao's miserable appearance, Xiao Xiao forgave her. Xu Jia Lin intentionally went to find Lu Zheng, hoping to learn about Xu Yan's situation from him. As soon as she sat down, she saw Xu Yan leaving with a female colleague. She eavesdropped on their conversation behind the wall and inquired about the woman's situation from Lu Zheng. As she saw the two of them getting on the car and leaving, Jia Lin's eyes were filled with jealousy.
Ye Han purposely went to pick up Xiao Xiao from work at the school. He asked her not to talk to him because he easily gets distracted by his crush. Xu Jia Cheng once again waited outside Xiao Xiao's home. Xiao Xiao and Ye Han got off the car gracefully, and she had to face Jia Cheng in the end. Ye Han mentioned that he had been waiting for her the whole day just for the opportunity to pick her up from work. He couldn't help it, Xiao Xiao had such a significant presence in his life. Jia Cheng understood the underlying meaning and sincerely apologized to Xiao Xiao, acknowledging his own selfishness.
After Jia Cheng left, Xiao Xiao thanked Ye Han for his company and requested some time to sort out her own feelings. Xu Jia Lin, using the alias Lin Jia, joined the Zeus Company as an assistant. Xu Yan had a dinner gathering with his business partner and expressed gratitude for the house he introduced. The business partner teased him, saying they heard that he was looking at houses with his girlfriend. Xu Yan quickly denied it, claiming it was just his younger sister. The female colleague confirmed with him, and the business partner joked that they were even holding hands, so how could she be just a sister.
Tong Yi Wen decided to participate in an interview. Although the company leaders didn't think it was necessary for her as an older person, Tong Yi Wen didn't want to miss any opportunities. The leader agreed to accompany her for the interview and cheered her on.
With the holiday break, Li Xiao Xiao intentionally gave her students a few days off and planned to relax herself. Xu Yan returned to the company and was bothered by the misunderstanding with Xu Jia Lin about looking at houses. Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of him again, and he couldn't refuse, so he ended up giving her a ride home.
Xiao Xiao specifically informed her grandmother that she would be going home for the Lunar New Year the next day. While packing her luggage, she came across the dress she wore for the magazine shoot, which reminded her of Ye Han.
