Episode 18 recap: Wang Zheng left Ge Xiao Fei alone and something happened.
Ever since the argument with Ge Xiao Fei, Luo Qi Qi had devoted almost all of her time to studying. Guan He saw that she was studying too intensely and was concerned about the negative impact it could have on her. He suggested going outside for a walk, but Luo Qi Qi declined. Guan He then took out a book review he had written and asked Luo Qi Qi to take a look. Luo Qi Qi thought it was well-written and continued to struggle with her own exam papers. Guan He began expressing his thoughts on the book, and Luo Qi Qi had different opinions, so she voiced them. Guan He smiled at Luo Qi Qi and greatly appreciated her sharp comments and insightful views on human nature.
Xu Xiao Bo studied hard at his school in Xi'an. This time, he ranked fifth in his class in the exams. He was known as the most diligent student in the dormitory, and He Zhi's father, who found out about this, had been wanting to meet him. He Zhi invited Xu Xiao Bo to have dinner at his home. Xu Xiao Bo received guidance from He Zhi's father, who advised him to focus on writing, especially on current affairs, as the era of reform and opening up was approaching. Xu Xiao Bo was excited to see the piles of books in He Zhi's home, all discussing current events, and He Zhi allowed him to read them freely. Xu Xiao Bo seized every opportunity to study and constantly embraced new knowledge. One day, he attended a class as an auditor and heard information about the Internet, which exhilarated him. The professor giving the lecture noticed Xu Xiao Bo's interest and desire for more materials, so he gave him a book, for which Xu Xiao Bo expressed his gratitude by bowing to the professor.
Recently, Zhang Jun had been enjoying himself and having a good time. Brother Liu, seeing Zhang Jun's frequent visits, extended an olive branch to him and offered him a job directly. Zhang Jun found himself in a situation where his friends had all found their own life direction and he was left without companionship. It was the first time he felt needed, and despite knowing the dangers, he couldn't resist and became more and more entangled.
Ge Xiao Fei had been working to save money for her trip to Xi'an. However, she discovered women's intimate clothing hidden in Wang Zheng's clothes. Ge Xiao Fei felt frustrated as she looked at Wang Zheng, whose temper became uncontrollable when he was drunk. Nevertheless, she desperately wanted to escape from there, so when Wang Zheng invited her to leave Hannan and go to Xi'an together before the New Year, she reluctantly agreed.
Ge Xiao Fei decided to resign from the hotel and coincidentally met Ma Li, who was escorting guests. She gave Ma Li the water cup and toothbrush she had saved and told her that she was still working at the hotel while studying. Ma Li was surprised to learn that Ge Xiao Fei was working to buy a good guitar for Wang Zheng. Ma Li immediately took out 200 yuan and wanted to give it to Ge Xiao Fei so she wouldn't have to work anymore, but Ge Xiao Fei declined. She told Ma Li that she would quit before the new year. Ma Li felt a bit bitter seeing how much Ge Xiao Fei was doing for Wang Zheng and told her that she also learned to play the guitar and found it quite difficult. She then went on to continue serving guests, working hard for her own life.
Ge Xiao Fei was eagerly waiting for Wang Zheng to take her to Xi'an. Before that, she specifically bought a red coat for her mother and placed it in the closet. When her mother went into the room to collect the clothes, she noticed that Ge Xiao Fei was not at home. The bed was neatly made, and when she opened the closet, she saw that it was empty except for the red coat in a bag. Her mother couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't know where Ge Xiao Fei had gone, but she knew that she had chosen to leave.
Ge Xiao Fei waited for a long time outside the rehearsal room of Wang Zheng's band. She was so tired that she leaned against the railing and fell asleep. When she woke up to a noise, she realized that Wang Zheng hadn't come. Wang Zheng's two friends told Ge Xiao Fei that their band had already disbanded and Wang Zheng had gone to Xi'an alone. Ge Xiao Fei immediately burst into tears. She couldn't believe it was true and kept asking the two where Wang Zheng had gone. They reminded Ge Xiao Fei that Wang Zheng was just a singer in a bar and had to wash dishes during the day to make a living. They told Ge Xiao Fei to sober up and go back home early. But Ge Xiao Fei didn't believe it. She couldn't accept that Wang Zheng had left without saying a word. As she walked on the street in a daze, it was already difficult to see anyone around. A car stopped beside Ge Xiao Fei, and several men took advantage of the dark night to abduct her.
Guan He watched Luo Qi Qi study with great determination and was worried that she was pushing herself too hard. So he took a day off and asked Luo Qi Qi to take him out to have fun. Luo Qi Qi took Guan He to sing at a place called "Water's Edge," and they had a great time. They talked about their personal journeys, and Guan He admired Luo Qi Qi for being true to herself. She wanted to be friends with Luo Qi Qi but didn't want to ruin her relationship with Ge Xiao Fei. It had been a long time since Luo Qi Qi last saw Ge Xiao Fei, so she went to Ge Xiao Fei's house to look for her. She learned that Ge Xiao Fei had left Xi'an with Wang Zheng but was attacked by three people on the night she didn't bring Ge Xiao Fei along. Luo Qi Qi couldn't believe it and stared at them in disbelief while feeling sorry for Ge Xiao Fei.
