Episode 8 recap: The paintings at the art exhibition were stolen, and everyone helped out.
When Kuang Lili saw a muscular man passing by, she hurriedly followed him, only to find a group of middle-aged women following behind. Kuang Lili thought there must have been some illicit transaction going on and immediately informed Xu Gang Ren. She wanted to drive them away and catch them in the act. When the two of them went over, they happened to see a naked man posing as a model, while the elderly people were there to learn painting. Kuang Lili and Xu Gang Ren realized they had misunderstood Wei Yifan. In order to deepen her relationship with Xu Gang Ren, Kuang Lili intentionally seduced him by wearing sexy pajamas. Afterwards, Kuang Lili started painting for Xu Gang Ren, and indeed, this move helped strengthen their bond.
During the meeting, Kuang Lili and Su Fei started scheming against each other again. However, they agreed to hold an art exhibition in the cultural and creative park together, hoping to increase their income. Xu Bao Yi went to have dinner at a tea restaurant with Shi Lei in the evening and mentioned wanting to sing Zhang Shuai's song. Shi Lei said that he would be leaving in a few days and he was actually reluctant to part with Xu Bao Yi, but Xu Bao Yi didn't show much sadness. In fact, people around them could tell that Shi Lei had feelings for Xu Bao Yi, but Shi Lei was worried that Xu Bao Yi would reject him. Brother Fa was there giving advice to Shi Lei and suggested that he pretend to be drunk and confess to Xu Bao Yi.
After a few drinks, Xu Bao Yi didn't show any signs of getting drunk, leaving everyone unsure about what to say. Brother Fa and his wife had to leave first. Shi Lei got drunk and in the end, it was Xu Bao Yi who took Shi Lei home. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Lei wanted to confess his feelings to Xu Bao Yi, but Xu Bao Yi didn't understand the purpose of Shi Lei singing the song and said that he hoped Shi Lei would always be his best friend.
Xu Gang Ren took Su Fei to the art exhibition, only to find two paintings missing from the center. Su Fei suggested that there might be a place a few kilometers away where stolen paintings could be sold. To investigate, everyone decided to send Xu Gang Wen and Funny to pose as buyers, with Miaomiao pretending to be a celebrity.
Soon, everyone arrived at Huacun (Flower Village) and was ready to visit the art exhibition. Xu Gang Ren almost blew their cover, but luckily Funny and Miaomiao resolved the situation.
When they were leaving, Xu Gang Wen asked them to return his clothes properly since they were new. Xu Gang Wen casually mentioned being concerned about Miaomiao having body odor, which led to exaggerated rumors and damaged Miaomiao's reputation. In the end, they cut off the clothing tags and threatened Xu Gang Wen. While struggling over the clothes, they ended up tearing them apart.
Now, there is still one missing painting, so everyone can only turn to Wei Yifan for help. Wei Yifan agreed to assist but requested that the painting be exhibited without being sold. Xu Gang Ren readily agreed. Wei Yifan was indeed talented in painting, and after waiting for one night, the painting was completed. Wei Yifan shared his dream of having his own art exhibition, and everyone encouraged him, hoping he could fulfill his dream.
Soon, the audience was waiting at the entrance. The good news was that Su Fei had managed to locate the artwork. In order to stall the audience, Xu Gang Wen found several girls who were preparing to debut at the venue and asked them to perform on stage and help delay some time. Everyone was ready to give it a try. Kuang Lili quickly went to Brother Fa's restaurant to get some food.
Then everyone began watching the girl group's performance, and the audience's enthusiasm was high. Fortunately, they managed to buy some time, and the painting was successfully brought back. Thanks to Wei Yifan's assistance, Xu Gang Ren originally planned for Xiaochun to hang the painting, but Xiaochun thought Wei Yifan's painting was too good, so he didn't hang it up.
Initially, everyone thought they could deceive others without professional supervision. However, unexpectedly, Su Fei brought in a professional teacher who recognized the painting as a fake.
