Episode 17 recap: Li Xiao Xiao's Drunken Confession.
During the filming, Tong Yi Wen deliberately stirred up trouble with the newcomer out of personal grudges. Xu Jia Cheng stepped in to protect Tong Yi Wen, and the newcomer superficially apologized but hinted that she had a powerful backer. Li Xiao Xiao greeted Ye Han generously, but Ye Han made an excuse to leave early, leaving behind an awkward Li Xiao Xiao.
Li Xiao Xiao caught up with Ye Han and confessed that she had developed feelings for him. During the Lunar New Year, Ye Han had dinner alone at home when his mother called to invite him to spend the holiday overseas. Xu Yan was making dumplings with his family at home, while Lu Zheng was playing mahjong with his family. Only Ye Han was left alone, feeling quite lonely. Just as he lay down, the three of them arrived at Ye Han's house with various delicious foods. They even made sure that Ye Han got a lucky dumpling. Ye Han was deeply moved; it was evident that they had come specifically to accompany him.
Xiao Xiao arrived at the restaurant, and her presence made Ye Han a little uncomfortable. When Xiao Xiao greeted him, Ye Han ignored her, took a sip of wine, and left directly. Xiao Xiao sensed that Ye Han was still angry, so she pretended to run out and chase after him. She apologized to him and said she didn't know how to accept his feelings and needed time.
Ye Han expressed his inability to calm down. He realized that he was no longer young, and she had never recognized his efforts. That's why he chose to let go now. Today, he is forever more mature than yesterday and knows how to give Li Xiao Xiao space and time. Xiao Xiao realized that she used to run away from her feelings for him, and now she was facing the consequences. She had feelings for him, but Ye Han had given up on her.
She casually walked on the pedestrian bridge when Xu Jia Cheng called to comfort her. After dinner, Xu Jia Cheng went to see Ye Han, and Lu Zheng indicated that he would join them. He wouldn't miss the lively interaction between Ye Han and his loved one. Xu Yan returned to Xu Jia Cheng's home, and Xu Jia Cheng went to accompany Ye Han. Ye Han learned from Xu Jia Cheng that Xiao Xiao had already gone home, which finally put his mind at ease. He astutely analyzed the reason for Xiao Xiao's change of heart, realizing that it was due to an emotional void and not her feelings for him.
Xu Jia Lin dressed up as a young girl to welcome Xu Yan and warmly pulled him to sit down. She had already prepared a candlelit dinner. When Jia Lin was lighting the candles, she almost got burnt, but Xu Yan showed concern, which deeply touched her. Ye Han looked at the honey on the table and, in order to forget Xiao Xiao, decided to give it to his colleague.
Ye Han secretly changed the advertiser, despite Xu Jia Cheng's strong opposition. The brand was unwilling to use both Yao Yao and Tong Yi Wen simultaneously and insisted on using only Yao Yao. They were also against the magazine's proposal of combining the old and new.
Li Xiao Xiao was sleeping in bed when Tong Yi Wen knew that she was missing Ye Han too much and advised her to go out for a walk. Xu Jia Cheng was angry because the brand didn't want to use Tong Yi Wen, and despite Tong Yi Wen's career showing some progress, it had now become a mess. Tong Yi Wen called Ye Han for help, but he said he was busy with work. Meanwhile, Ye Han's phone calls to the sick Xiao Xiao went unanswered, so he decided to go check on her.
Ye Han immediately went to Xiao Xiao's house. The door was unlocked, and Xiao Xiao was sound asleep. It took many calls from Ye Han to wake her up. Thinking she was still dreaming and excited, she looked at her flushed face. Mistakenly thinking she was sick, Ye Han hurriedly went to fetch water. After realizing that Xiao Xiao was fine, Ye Han left directly.
Xiao Xiao went to a bar to get drunk and advised herself not to pursue someone who can turn their face faster than flipping a book. In her intoxicated state, she mistook a mannequin in a clothing store for Ye Han. Unconsciously, she ended up at Ye Han's company building and coincidentally ran into him. She accused him of following her and returned the shirt she had borrowed, saying there would be no reason for them to meet again. Xiao Xiao blamed him for being heartless and didn't give Ye Han a chance to explain. She kissed him, but after realizing her actions, she pushed him away and tried to leave. Ye Han took the opportunity to embrace her and kissed her back. Xiao Xiao candidly confessed that she had fallen in love with him.
The next day, Xiao Xiao woke up, and Tong Yi Wen advised her not to drink so much in the future. Seeing Xiao Xiao's hazy memory, she remembered her proactive actions towards Ye Han the previous night and shyly covered her head. Ye Han was in a good mood and occasionally praised his colleagues' outfits. Yao Yao felt that Xu Jia Cheng looked familiar and previously didn't like him, but upon learning that he was the CEO of Shendu, her attitude immediately changed.
During the filming, Tong Yi Wen's gaze was good, while Yao Yao's gaze and actions received multiple reminders from the photographer. Yao Yao, feeling angry, intentionally scratched Tong Yi Wen and made a half-hearted apology. After being rejected by Tong Yi Wen, she pretended to fall to the ground, making it seem like Tong Yi Wen had pushed her. Everyone went to comfort Yao Yao, but they overlooked Xiao Xiao.
Xu Jia Cheng exploded on the scene, and the crew realized his relationship with Tong Yi Wen. Tong Yi Wen didn't want special treatment because of Xu Jia Cheng and left angrily. Ye Han was immersed in the joy of Xiao Xiao's confession to him the previous night and was happy watching Xiao Xiao anxiously searching for him outside the company building.
