Episode 20 recap: Shi Yan's dilemma.

At this moment, heavy snowflakes were falling from the sky. However, Zheng Shu Yi, who witnessed this scene, had no intention of going back to her car. She wholeheartedly leaned against the person in front of her, seeking warmth. With a hint of arrogance, she asked how long the person had been waiting for her. Not long after, Zheng Shu Yi's mother called, urging Shi Yan to hurry up and join her. After the call, Shi Yan hurriedly urged the person in front of him to go. When he returned, his mother on the other end of the phone continued to push Zheng Shu Yi to accelerate her romantic relationship with Professor Yu You.

As Zheng Shu Yi returned to her office, she was visibly happy. She didn't even bother checking her close friend's social media posts, and during the day, she had taken extra care to apply beautiful makeup. Her colleagues were astounded by her reaction. They found it incredibly surprising.

On the other hand, Shi Yan was absent-minded during the meeting. He used to wear a serious expression all the time, but today, he couldn't help but smile. Guan Ji and Yu You, who noticed his strange behavior, also found it odd. In the evening, when Zheng Shu Yi started having dinner, Shi Yan texted her on the phone, inquiring about her well-being. Upon learning that she hadn't eaten, he took the initiative to order takeout and even reminded her to finish every single grain of rice.

After Guan Ji picked up Shan Shan and sent her home, he asked if she had time to go horseback riding together after giving her roses. However, to his surprise, Shan Shan immediately and decisively declined, reminding him to clearly understand what she wanted before she left.

The next day at the company, Zheng Shu Yi suddenly received a visitor named Yi Yang. Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and invited her for an exclusive interview. Before Zheng Shu Yi could fully consider it, Yi Yang took the initiative to ask for her WeChat contact and discuss future collaboration. After seeing her colleagues off, Zheng Shu Yi stayed alone in the office, preparing to start overtime work. In this situation, she proactively messaged Shi Yan, knowing that he was also working late. They encouraged each other and planned to work hard together, aiming to meet on the weekend. After a while, when Zheng Shu Yi felt a bit hungry, she took out her phone to order takeout. To her surprise, Shi Yan had already ordered a hot meal for her, warming her heart.

Soon after, Yi Yang called again, inviting Zheng Shu Yi to visit his live streaming studio. Upon arrival, he confidently introduced himself in front of the camera. Upon hearing his words, Zheng Shu Yi suddenly realized something and searched on her phone, discovering that Yi Yang was actually a highly influential figure with great potential. Unexpectedly, Mr. Bruce appeared in the live streaming room and had a pleasant conversation with Yi Yang. Upon learning this unfortunate news, Shi Yan became anxious and panicked.

Although Professor Yu You, upon learning about the situation, called their old friend, Bruce politely declined their invitation at this moment. Seeing this unfavorable situation, Zheng Shu Yi decided to seriously consider it after returning. On the way back, she kept messaging Shi Yan to inquire about the situation but received no reply.

Extremely anxious, she hurriedly went to her beloved's house to comfort him. Shi Yan was sitting on the floor, drinking heavily. When she arrived, they planned to have a drink together.
