Episode 3 recap: Zhang Pei, drunk, apologizes to his parents.

After hanging up the call with Gou Dan Dan, Zhang Pei quickly hailed a taxi and headed home. On the way, the taxi driver took the opportunity to promote the panda base in Sichuan. When Zhang Pei arrived home, he realized that his parents were actually playing mahjong outside. Helpless, Zhang Pei packed up his things and soon felt hungry. He initially thought about cooking something for himself, but the stove wouldn't light up. This reminded Zhang Pei of the time when he and three others participated in a rabbit head eating competition as a team and even won an award. The boss even made a signboard specifically for the four of them!

Wu Yun went to the familiar restaurant to eat rabbit head. As soon as Wu Yun opened her mouth to order, the owner recognized her and recalled the time when he saved her life. Surprisingly, the owner also brought out the signboard he made back then. Wu Yun was amazed that the owner still kept it, although it had lost some power. The owner even found batteries and installed them. Shortly after Wu Yun sat down, Zhang Pei also arrived. Zhang Pei was particularly warm towards Wu Yun, as they hadn't seen each other for two years. They started chatting.

Dong Jia Xi happily joined her class and was quickly added to a group chat. As a result, she was bombarded with a series of fragmented tasks, keeping her busy without a moment's rest. She was constantly being reminded by her boss and found it difficult to find her way around. Zhang Pei and Wu Yun discussed the other two people, unaware that Gou Dan Dan was also in Chengdu at that time. Gou Dan Dan was exhausted from wiping her tears and finally pulled herself together. After completing her nine-grid photo on social media, she left home feeling satisfied. However, just as Wu Yun and Zhang Pei left, Gou Dan Dan arrived. The three of them coincidentally missed each other. Gou Dan Dan sat in the seat that Wu Yun had just vacated and couldn't help but wonder if the signboard displayed by the boss was a celebration of her return. Later, when Gou Dan Dan took a bite of the rabbit head, she started retching. Even after switching to vegetarian dishes, she still had a strong reaction, but Gou Dan Dan didn't pay much attention to it.

When Zhang Pei returned home, there was still no one there. After complaining about the pet turtle he raised, Zhang Pei wandered around the room and noticed the accounting book left on the table by his parents. It documented their plan to sell the house to raise money and help Zhang Pei repay the mortgage. In a drunken state, Zhang Pei ended up lying in the bathroom. When his parents returned, their first reaction was that the lights were left on, and then they smelled the alcohol. Zhang Pei came out, and he noticed that his mother's toothbrush head was already worn out but she hadn't replaced it. Zhang Pei burst into tears and apologized to his parents, reflecting on the fact that he rarely called home in all these years. It was unclear whether it was related to Luo Wei's situation, but Zhang Pei vowed not to die and declared that he would live to be a hundred years old. His parents didn't know what was happening exactly but offered comfort to Zhang Pei.

The next morning, Zhang Pei was woken up by his mother. When Zhang Pei saw the table full of dishes, he was stunned. His parents were also very cautious, thinking that Zhang Pei had been fired and worried that he might be sick. Zhang Pei was speechless and simply said that he had come back to start a company before leaving. On his way out, he bought some local snacks called "guokui" from the doorstep and experienced the morning rush hour in Chengdu. Zhang Pei's mood was quite good.

Gou Dan Dan seemed to realize something and went to the hospital for a check-up after dressing up. On the way, she even ran into Dong Jia Xi's mother. Gou Dan Dan immediately hid and secretly followed Dong Jia Xi's mother. Meanwhile, Zhang Pei met with his small team at his company. The four girls first tidied up the office building, which had been vacant for a long time, and then they started preparing to recruit new employees. After a brief encouragement, Zhang Pei took everyone out for a meal. However, they discovered that the places they used to eat at were all closed. At that moment, an old friend invited Zhang Pei for a meal.

On the other side, Gou Dan Dan eavesdropped on a conversation between the doctor and Dong Jia Xi's mother and unexpectedly discovered that her aunt had a tumor! Dong Jia Xi's work was also not going smoothly, which was a stark contrast to before graduation. In the evening, Zhang Pei went to the appointment, but just as he sat down and before they could exchange a few words, he was called away by a work phone call.
