Episode 24 recap: Shi Ran and Xu Yang found happiness, while Xu Nuo and Zhao Jin enjoyed a blissful life.
Zhao Jin said that as long as Xu Nuo accepted her, that was the most crucial thing. Zhao Qin was about to be discharged from the hospital, and Zhao Jin and Xu Nuo went to pick her up. Upon learning that there was still no news about Xiaobai, Zhao Qin became even more distraught. Back at home, Xu Yang and Shi Ran had already prepared a welcoming ceremony. Zhao Qin was especially delighted and mentioned Xiaobai. Shi Ran said she had received a package on Xiaobai's behalf. Zhao Qin, upon hearing this, immediately stopped eating and went to check it out. She found a USB flash drive and opened it, discovering that it contained a movie edited by Xiaobai. After watching it, Zhao Qin came over with a sorrowful expression and asked everyone to watch it together.
It turned out that Xiaobai had passed away, and he used this method to bid farewell to Zhao Qin and everyone else. Zhao Qin couldn't control her inner pain and went alone to the seaside where she and Xiaobai often went. Xu Nuo and Zhao Jin followed her from a distance. Zhao Jin received a call from Xu Nuo, who said that her mother wanted to meet him officially. Zhao Jin suggested bringing Zhao Qin along.
In the elevator, Da Hao received a call from Xu Yang, informing him that Xu Nuo wanted to introduce him to her parents and jokingly mentioned that he was the first among their friends to get married. Peng Yu An happened to overhear this in the elevator. Xu Nuo's mother prepared a table full of dishes with great care. Zhao Jin brought Zhao Qin to the door, and the whole family happily enjoyed a meal together.
Xu Nuo knew that her mother had many questions to ask, so she told her mother she could start the household investigation. Xu Nuo's mother didn't ask any other questions; she was just curious about how Zhao Jin had managed to persevere all these years. Zhao Jin said that over the years, he knew he was Zhao Qin's only reliance, so he had to stay strong and not let his sister down. The same applied to him and Xu Nuo; it was because they relied on and supported each other that they could come together.
Both Grandma and Mom were moved by Zhao Jin's words. Grandma even reminded Xu Nuo not to bully Zhao Jin, and Zhao Qin said she would supervise her brother to ensure he wouldn't bully Big Sister Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo's mother noticed that Zhao Jin's suit didn't fit properly and immediately got up to take his measurements, saying she wanted to personally make him a well-fitting suit.
Peng Yu An began accepting the blind dates arranged by his father, and they seemed to get along well. As they left Xu Nuo's house, neither Zhao Jin nor Xu Nuo had expected things to go so smoothly. They sat in the car, feeling relieved. Zhao Qin asked them when they would get married, and Zhao Jin said they would get married after he bought a house. Zhao Qin said she would stay at Xu Nuo's house that day.
When Zhao Jin returned home, Da Hao and Xu Yang were already waiting to celebrate for him. The three brothers were extremely excited and clamored to have a drink. Initially, Zhao Jin tried to stay disciplined, saying that he had promised Xu Nuo not to drink in the future. However, unable to resist his friends' persuasion, he excitedly gave in and started drinking.
The next day, Xu Nuo went to Zhao Jin's house and found the three grown men lying haphazardly on the sofa and floor, clearly intoxicated. She called Shi Ran, who grabbed Xu Yang by the ear and dragged him away. Da Hao, sensing trouble, quickly fled. Xu Nuo angrily confronted Zhao Jin, asking why he had gone back on his word. Zhao Jin obediently sat in front of Xu Nuo and admitted his mistake.
In the end, Xu Nuo couldn't resist Zhao Jin's sweet-talking and persistent efforts, and forgave him.
The next day, Shi Ran asked Xu Nuo how they made up. Xu Nuo thought for a moment and answered evasively, saying that she simply didn't want to waste such good weather and such a good person. Shi Ran received a call from Xu Yang, inviting her to go to the seaside to stargaze at night.
Zhao Jin brought Xu Nuo to visit Zhao Jin's father, and Xu Nuo prepared a bouquet of flowers specifically for the occasion. Xu Yang prepared a romantic tent and flowers at the seaside, which made Shi Ran very happy. Xu Yang had finally become so romantic.
Zhao Jin's father offered Zhao Jin a drink, but Zhao Jin said he had quit drinking and even had a written pledge. Zhao Jin's father asked Xu Nuo to have a drink with him, and Xu Nuo readily agreed. Xu Nuo told Zhao Jin's father that she actually loved him more than Zhao Jin and that she would treat Zhao Qin like a younger sister in the future. They would be happy together.
Zhao Jin's father was very pleased to hear this. After dinner, the whole family took a family photo together. Xu Yang held up a poster and formally proposed to Shi Ran, who excitedly said she would marry him. Xu Nuo had drunk too much, and Zhao Jin recorded the sound of her snoring. Xu Nuo, in a dazed state, asked him what he was doing. Zhao Jin said it was his own lullaby.
Suddenly, Xu Nuo woke up and found herself sleeping at Zhao Jin's ancestral home. She asked Zhao Jin why he didn't take her home. Zhao Jin said it was her own request to stay there. Xu Nuo complained that Zhao Jin didn't stop her from drinking so much, but Zhao Jin said it was her own enthusiastic insistence on drinking, mixing white wine and beer together.
Xu Nuo quickly asked if she had embarrassed herself, and Zhao Jin said that it made his father unhappy, saying that he couldn't marry an alcoholic. Xu Nuo was startled, but then Zhao Jin said that his father was actually very happy, saying that he now had another drinking buddy. Xu Nuo realized that Zhao Jin was teasing her, and the two of them playfully teased each other.
When Zhao Jin went to work, Xu Nuo went to the veterinary hospital in a serious manner, saying that she wanted to have her pet treated. Zhao Jin also solemnly registered her pet, and Xu Nuo said her pet's name was Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin asked what illness it had, and Xu Nuo said it was the kind of serious illness where you miss someone when they're not around.
Zhao Jin said seriously, "That's love." Xu Nuo looked around to make sure no one was watching and then kissed Zhao Jin directly. (The end)
