Episode 32 recap: Gu Xu gathered the courage to confess his feelings to Lin Shuang.
Upon learning that his parents changed hotels due to Lin Shuang's suggestion, Wei Ming immediately called her to question who gave her the authority to make such decisions. Lin Shuang explained that it was all about building a good image for him. Wei Fu and Wei Mu couldn't help but doubt their previous judgment of her, as she had never embarrassed them before.
During a press conference, Gu Xu was asked by a girl if he was single. He admitted that he was and confessed that he had been in love with someone for fifteen years. He described this person as upright and kind but acknowledged that their missed connection was due to his lack of courage. Lin Shuang, who was on the second floor, overheard these words clearly.
Gu Xu and Lin Shuang went shopping together. When Lin Shuang expressed a desire to rest, Gu Xu immediately remarked that this was her rightful position all along. Lin Shuang asked how he knew, and Gu Xu explained that he had quietly observed her in moments when she wasn't paying attention. Gu Xu suddenly confessed his feelings for her, leaving Lin Shuang a bit overwhelmed. She explained that her life had just started to get better, and making a decision wasn't easy. She requested time to consider everything, and Gu Xu agreed, expressing his willingness to give her that time.
Jiang Xi was deeply moved by the message Jiang Hai sent her. The next day at work, she found Mi Xue and submitted the algorithm for Xiao Ying Technology. Mi Xue mentioned that she could only submit it and couldn't make the final decision. Jiang Xi understood and suggested they have a meal together when they had time.
The secretary approached Gu Xu, questioning whether he and Lin Shuang hadn't reconciled yet since her resignation report had not been approved for such a long time. Gu Xu confirmed it, and the secretary asked why he didn't try to pretend to keep her a little longer. Gu Xu asked if she had thought it through, and she replied that being able to study her desired subject with her desired teacher was her dream come true. Gu Xu stated that he would welcome her back anytime if she decided to return. The secretary added that if Lin Shuang dumped him, she should let her know.
Jiang Xi asked Lin Shuang if she was aware of Gu Xu's feelings for her and if she declined because she felt she wasn't deserving of him due to her child. Lin Shuang assured her that she wasn't oblivious to who liked her, as she could differentiate between genuine affection. She was just concerned that they might end up like Wei Ming and her. Jiang Xi countered that it wasn't selfishness but fear, but Gu Xu was different from Wei Ming. Although she didn't know how long their relationship would last, she might regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't accept him now.
Jiang Hai accompanied his mother to leave, and Lin Shuang asked if Jiang Xi had thought about going to see her mother off. Jiang Xi replied that it was her own business and different from Lin Shuang's. Lin Shuang mentioned that Jiang Hai had informed her of the departure time, and there was still time to go if she wanted.
Ma Ding witnessed the scene and immediately pulled Jiang Xi to the airport. Jiang Xi demanded to know who he was to make such decisions on her behalf. Ma Ding replied that she didn't have to come if she didn't want to. Upon arriving at the airport, Ma Ding assured her that there was still time if she wanted to go and that he would be waiting for her there.
Jiang Xi saw a mother with a pair of siblings, and when the younger boy fell down, the mother's immediate reaction was to scold the older sister. Jiang Mu felt a bit sad about it, but eventually left without waiting for her daughter. Jiang Xi asked Ma Ding if he thought she seemed heartless. Ma Ding replied that everyone has their own past, and it's not easy to judge without knowing the whole story. Jiang Xi expressed her gratitude to him, and Ma Ding asked her to consider her own actions when looking for a boyfriend next time. Jiang Xi pretended not to hear and immediately asked him about good places to eat nearby.
Gu Xu asked Lin Shuang if he could catch a ride with her, but Lin Shuang said she had to work overtime. Gu Xu didn't know what to say. Wei Ming only attended the class reunion, and everyone asked why he didn't inform them when he got married. Wei Ming said it was to make his in-laws happy. When asked about his father-in-law, who is a director at Ark Group, Wei Ming proudly stated that he is now a son-in-law of high status. At the dinner table, Wei Ming received several phone calls from Huang Jia Yi. Everyone commented on how being a son-in-law is not easy, and to avoid being laughed at by classmates, Wei Ming didn't answer the calls.
Huang Jia Yi was angry when she saw a call and thought it was Wei Ming, but it turned out to be Huang Mu. Upon learning that they were arguing, Huang Mu immediately advised Huang Jia Yi not to confront her husband head-on about their issues. Jiang Xi was worried when she heard that the police station couldn't find Jiang Hai. Thinking he had caused trouble, she immediately scolded him, only to be told that he did a good deed, which relieved her.
Lin Shuang and Gu Xu's relationship improved a lot with the help of their child, Guo Guo. Lin Shuang mentioned that she never imagined that even washing dishes together could be such a harmonious and romantic experience.
