Episode 13 recap: Xu Xiao Bo's spot in Xi'an was taken away.
Just as Luo Qi Qi returned, she heard from Shu Fang that Ge Xiao Fei got into a fight with someone. She quickly rushed in to help and tried to drive away the two girls who were involved in the fight. However, those two girls wouldn't give up. It was only when Li Jiajie stepped in that the situation was brought under control. Luo Qi Qi fixed Ge Xiao Fei's disheveled clothes and took her to a private room.
Wang Zheng, who was displeased with the trouble caused by Ge Xiao Fei shortly after arriving, warned Wang Zheng that if he couldn't handle it, he should leave. Wang Zheng believed that Ge Xiao Fei was interfering with his work and found her annoying. He told Ge Xiao Fei to disappear from his sight. However, Ge Xiao Fei, with tears in her eyes, told him that she had been paying attention to him all these years and that she found the courage to face her own feelings because of him. She understood Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng looked at Ge Xiao Fei in astonishment and shock.
Luo Qi Qi and Xu Xiao Bo went home together. She didn't know how to judge the situation with Ge Xiao Fei, but Xu Xiao Bo saw it clearly. He knew that Wang Zheng was a troublemaker. He just didn't know whether Ge Xiao Fei putting all her emotions on him would turn out to be a blessing or a curse. It would take time to verify. Xu Xiao Bo had always been curious about Luo Qi Qi's relationship with Zhang Jun, so he took this opportunity to ask. Luo Qi Qi said that she wanted to restore the relationship she had with Zhang Jun when they were younger, but Zhang Jun wasn't interested. Now she had come to the realization that getting into a good university was the most important thing at the moment, and she had set aside everything else.
In the evening, Luo Qiqi cried secretly under the covers, and Zhang Jun was also feeling uneasy. He held the special stone that Luo Qiqi had given him when they were kids and reminisced about the past. Finally, he decided to go and find Luo Qiqi. Luo Yuan Yuan received several silent phone calls throughout the night, but she eventually got annoyed and stopped answering. Luo Qiqi picked up the phone and found out that Zhang Jun wanted to meet her. Taking advantage of her family's inattentiveness, she sneaked out. This time, Zhang Jun brought his starfish along to find Luo Qiqi. They reconciled, and their faces lit up with smiles again. They studied together, walked home together, and went swimming together. On this day, Luo Qiqi and Zhang Jun were lying by the pool, reading books. Luo Qiqi recited a love poem, and Zhang Jun found it very comforting. He then invited Luo Qiqi to go see Ma Li that evening. Ma Li was about to graduate, but the principal suddenly informed them that they couldn't be assigned jobs. The students refused to leave the school and demanded an explanation. The principal decided to cut off the water and electricity to force them out, but the students stubbornly stayed, insisting on getting an explanation. Zhang Jun brought a lot of food to see Ma Li, and Luo Qiqi, witnessing the joy of these young people facing imminent unemployment, couldn't quite comprehend it.
Xu Xiaobo received an opportunity to go to Xi'an, which made Wang Lihua extremely jealous. Wang Lihua secretly wrote a report to Teacher Yuan, alleging that Xu Xiaobo frequently appeared in the alley and helped out at "On the Waterfront." Teacher Yuan asked Xu Xiaobo about it and confirmed that it was true. Considering the negative impact, Teacher Yuan decided to cancel Xu Xiaobo's chance to go to Xi'an. Xu Xiaobo accepted Teacher Yuan's decision but heard Wang Lihua loudly mocking him as someone pitiful whose parents are dead and whose mother is crazy. He immediately rushed into the classroom and gave Wang Lihua a punch. As a punishment, the school suspended Xu Xiaobo. Xu Jiajie had been preparing for the beer festival but faced opposition from Li Shu, who claimed that Chen Xiaojun was unwilling. Xu Jiajie wanted to go ahead regardless, but he was aware that Chen Xiaojun had some shady connections and worried that he might cause trouble. Xu Xiaobo advised Xu Jiajie not to rush and reminded him that there's a long road ahead. He also instructed Xu Jiajie not to tell Luo Qiqi about his inability to go to Xi'an to prevent her from worrying.
After school, Luo Qiqi and Zhang Jun competed on a slope to see who could ride their bikes down faster. Luo Qiqi took off a second earlier and was the first to pass through the tunnel. Zhang Jun, however, was just one wheel's length behind her. They both claimed victory, but Luo Qiqi caught the flaw in Zhang Jun's words and affirmed that she was the true winner. Zhang Jun looked at the lively Luo Qiqi and reached out to touch her head but quickly withdrew his hand, making up an excuse to buy ice cream and leaving. Luo Qiqi hadn't visited the alley for several days, so she decided to go see Xu Xiaobo and Li Jiajie today. She overheard Li Jiajie shamelessly flirting with Wang Yan at the office entrance and couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to leave, she unexpectedly heard about Xu Xiaobo's spot in Xi'an being replaced. She immediately got angry and went to find Xu Xiaobo, feeling that the situation was completely unfair. However, Xu Xiaobo didn't want to escalate things and came across as too weak to Luo Qiqi.
