Episode 18 recap: Fang Qing actively pursued Funny.
When Kuang Lili returned home, she was surprised to see Su Fei coming down from upstairs. The two locked eyes, and Kuang Lili questioned Su Fei about what she and Xu Gang Ren had done. Su Fei claimed that Xu Gang Ren was just drunk. Kuang Lili told Su Fei to undress and leave immediately. Before leaving, Su Fei confessed to Kuang Lili that her relationship with Zhang Shuai had indeed deeply hurt Xu Gang Ren. Kuang Lili asked Su Fei what had exactly happened between her and Xu Gang Ren, but Su Fei told her that there was a barrier between them now and that Kuang Lili wouldn't believe anything anyway.
Funny followed Fang Qing to do volunteer work. Today, they were feeding food to cats and dogs. They happened to see someone stealing a dog and quickly rushed over. It turned out that the chef was about to slaughter the dog, but after intervening, they realized that the restaurant didn't serve dog meat, and the so-called dog theft was someone taking their own dog away. Fang Qing and Funny felt very embarrassed.
Xu Gang Ren and Su Fei noticed that many high-end brands had opened for business. Xu Gang Ren mentioned that he felt his wife, Kuang Lili, had come back yesterday. However, Su Fei said that she didn't see anyone when she brought him back. In reality, Su Fei had her own ulterior motives—she genuinely liked Xu Gang Ren.
Funny was gradually accepting Fang Qing now, and they would rescue animals together every day. In the evening, Fang Qing invited Funny to dinner. Xu Gang Wen had not been in contact with Funny, but after contemplating for a long time, he finally called Funny, encouraged by Miaomiao. Coincidentally, Xu Gang Wen couldn't find a pair of socks, and only Funny could accurately tell him where they were.
However, Xu Gang Wen never expected to hear that Funny was having dinner with a guy. Fang Qing could also see that Funny liked Xu Gang Wen, and Funny admitted that he used to like Xu Gang Wen but now he had feelings for someone else, so he would bless them.
Fang Qing felt sorry for Funny, and when it was time to pay for dinner, she realized she had forgotten her phone. In the end, Funny paid, but he didn't mind. Xu Bao Yi and Shi Lei went to sell pearl milk tea together, but they found out that the buy-one-get-one-free promotion was only for couples. Xu Bao Yi took the opportunity to hold Shi Lei's hand, but Shi Lei directly denied their relationship, leaving Xu Bao Yi feeling somewhat disappointed.
Unknown to others, Shi Lei had been secretly learning lip-reading in order to communicate better with Xu Bao Yi. Xu Bao Yi was going to participate in a competition, and the director thought it would be a good idea for Shi Lei and Xu Bao Yi to perform as a couple. However, Shi Lei declined directly.
Afterwards, Xu Bao Yi complained to Kuang Lili about this incident. Kuang Lili believed that Shi Lei's coldness towards Xu Bao Yi might be due to his own insecurities. The more distant he acted, the more he actually liked Xu Bao Yi.
After Xu Bao Yi returned home, he discovered that Shi Lei was not in the room. Suddenly, he came across Shi Lei's medical records bag, which contained a report stating that Shi Lei was deaf.
Meanwhile, Fang Qing was still discussing the matter of donating to impoverished children with Funny. Funny also planned to contribute, originally intending to donate one thousand yuan. However, Fang Qing accidentally pressed an extra zero and quickly apologized to Funny, promising to return nine thousand yuan to him the next day. At that moment, Fang Qing received a phone call informing her of some urgent matters that required her immediate departure. She packed her bag and left, leaving Funny with a favorable impression of her.
During these days, Xu Gang Wen had been working on his creation at home, but the entire living room was left in a mess. Miaomiao was very angry and complained to Xu Gang Wen about his lack of action, even neglecting to wash his clothes. Miaomiao expressed her grievances to Xu Gang Wen. In reality, Xu Gang Wen still cared about Funny unintentionally, but he refused to admit it.
At this time, Funny called to inform them that his bank account had been frozen and asked for their help. However, only Miaomiao came to assist, leaving Funny feeling somewhat disappointed. Miaomiao explained to Funny that she and Xu Gang Wen were not together and that on that evening, she was simply unable to control herself when she realized Xu Gang Wen was her first fan.
Miaomiao stated that she didn't actually like Xu Gang Wen as much as she thought and expressed her desire for Funny to stay by her side no matter what. After returning home, Xu Gang Wen was still angry upon learning that Funny had been deceived, but his happiness outweighed his anger because Funny had returned.
Xu Bao Yi went to the hospital to understand Shi Lei's condition and became even more certain that Shi Lei distanced himself intentionally because he didn't want to burden Xu Bao Yi. After returning home, Xu Bao Yi confessed his feelings to Shi Lei, but since Shi Lei wasn't wearing his hearing aid, he didn't hear anything. Xu Bao Yi felt somewhat discouraged.
In fact, Shi Lei saw Xu Bao Yi entering his room that day and heard what he said through a mirror. Shi Lei was now afraid to accept Xu Bao Yi because he thought Xu Bao Yi might be with him out of pity.
Later, a week after their encounter, Fang Qing called Funny to repay the money she owed him and then invited him to a high-end restaurant. Xu Gang Wen, worried that Funny might be deceived, followed them. Funny did not expect to see Fang Qing dressed in formal attire this time, and Xu Gang Wen quickly searched for information about her, discovering that she was the second-generation wealthy.
Therefore, Fang Qing did not deceive Funny and narrowly escaped being beaten by Xu Gang Wen. Fortunately, Xu Gang Ren arrived just in time to discuss business with Fang Qing, further confirming her identity. Fang Qing took the initiative to ask Funny if he was willing to accept her pursuit.
