Episode 27 recap: Jiang Xiao Yuan wants to participate in a beauty contest.
When Jiang Xiao Yuan saw Jiang Bo, Jiang Bo had already lost his spirit and sat there blankly. Jiang Xiao Yuan took out Jiang Bo's excellent makeup works photos to arouse Jiang Bo's fighting spirit and give him the confidence to resist Fan Xiao Xiao's control.Qi Lian and Fan Xiao Xiao sat in the living room with different thoughts, waiting for Jiang Bo's answer. When Jiang Xiao Yuan indicated that Jiang Bo would go with her, Fan Xiao Xiao's heart sank, and she warned Jiang Bo with a heavy tone that if he left home, she would take back everything she had given him. Finally, Jiang Bo broke his silence and expressed that he had survived until today by himself, and Fan Xiao Xiao should be aware of this as well.
Seeing that Jiang Bo was truly breaking free from her control, Fan Xiao Xiao's face darkened. After Qi Lian and the others left, she began plotting again. Qi Lian offered to let Jiang Bo stay at their home, and Jiang Xiao Yuan couldn't bear to see Jiang Bo in such a pitiful state. She not only fetched him a blanket but also specially cooked soup for him. Unfortunately, Jiang Bo didn't drink a single drop. Qi Lian found Jiang Xiao Yuan's care for Jiang Bo suspicious and was only willing to let Jiang Bo stay for one night.
Jiang Xiao Yuan has already submitted her resignation to the school. She knows that Jiang Bo's current situation is pitiful, and since Fan Xiao Xiao's position will definitely face industry blacklisting, Jiang Bo needs to open a personal studio. She wants to continue being Jiang Bo's assistant, improving her makeup skills while preparing to participate in the national beauty contest.
Qi Lian doesn't want Jiang Xiao Yuan to work so hard and worries that the chip in her brain might have a negative impact. He advises Jiang Xiao Yuan to take a good rest, but Jiang Xiao Yuan, who is unaware of the situation, only feels that the future is full of endless possibilities. She wants to pursue her own dream. Qi Lian can only silently make up his mind to find a way to remove the chip from Jiang Xiao Yuan's brain.
While Qi Lian is worrying about the chip in Jiang Xiao Yuan's brain, Jiang Xiao Yuan arrives early in the morning carrying breakfast. She doesn't pay attention to Qi Lian and goes directly to Jiang Bo, offering him the breakfast. After being coldly treated, she quickly pours water for Jiang Bo. Qi Lian feels uneasy watching this and says that he also wants to drink water, but Jiang Xiao Yuan tells him to pour it himself.
Jiang Xiao Yuan wants to open a studio with Jiang Bo and participate in the beauty contest together. However, Jiang Bo doesn't want to participate because he knows that Fan Xiao Xiao is one of the judges and believes that he won't be able to pass. But this year, the contest has new rules where all the works must be uploaded online, which can prevent any behind-the-scenes manipulation. As long as their works are explosive enough, Fan Xiao Xiao won't be able to stop them.
Jiang Bo unwillingly strikes Jiang Xiao Yuan with cold words. Qi Lian can't bear to see Jiang Xiao Yuan being treated this way, so he asks her to stay in the room for a while. He bluntly reminds Jiang Bo that if he doesn't have any value to offer, there's no need for him to be rescued, and he threatens to call Fan Xiao Xiao.
Only then does Jiang Bo realize that he has no connection with Qi Lian, and he doesn't dare to provoke him further. He reluctantly agrees to open a studio with Jiang Xiao Yuan. However, at the same time, he also notices Qi Lian's concern for Jiang Xiao Yuan and deliberately provokes Qi Lian, suggesting that Jiang Xiao Yuan might fall in love with him due to their close interaction.
Qi Lian, confident in his words, becomes eager when he hears from Jiang Xiao Yuan that there is hope to open a studio. He can't help but interrupt and propose to invest in their venture. However, Jiang Xiao Yuan believes that he doesn't know anything about makeup and doesn't want him to join. Surprisingly, Jiang Bo reveals that he has half a million in savings, completely shutting down Qi Lian's opportunity to join. Qi Lian can only express his frustration and leave for work. Before leaving, he ensures that Jiang Xiao Yuan sits on another sofa, away from Jiang Bo, so they won't get too close.
Qi Lian suspects that Noah's death six years ago is related to Fan Xiao Xiao. Otherwise, Fan Xiao Xiao wouldn't have been able to steal the lighthouse system unnoticed and continue researching it in secret. Professor Lu is certain that the members of Noah's team were all professionals and it's unlikely they had an insider for Fan Xiao Xiao. This leads Qi Lian to suspect that Fan Xiao Xiao might also be a test subject. Professor Lu promises to carefully investigate the list.
When Professor Lu sees the chip image shown by Qi Lian, he recognizes that it is a chip produced by the company specifically for implantation research. It automatically detaches after one year, and at that time, it can be easily removed through minimally invasive surgery. However, forcibly removing it ahead of time may cause irreversible damage to the neural system.
Qi Lian feels slightly relieved after learning this. In order to protect Jiang Xiao Yuan, he takes out the wish note she wrote to him when they were younger, making it impossible for her to refuse his participation. Soon, they secure a location for the studio, and Jiang Xiao Yuan energetically prepares everything every day. Meanwhile, Jiang Bo, in order to obtain an invitation letter, accompanies Gao Zong humbly while drinking. Eventually, someone can't bear to see this and calls Jiang Xiao Yuan, prompting her to take Jiang Bo away.
