Episode 21 recap: Lin Tianyu and Xiao Qiu are jealous of each other.

When Lin Tianyu was teaching An Xin to dance, he saw An Xin almost falling and quickly caught her. The two of them locked eyes and suddenly felt something strange. Xiao Qiu held a bouquet of flowers, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly proposed to An Xin. Although Lin Tianyu said one thing but meant another, Chen Ruohua had already noticed that he liked An Xin. Shortly after the exam started, under tremendous pressure, Chen Ruohua felt a wave of nausea, similar to what happened to Ruoxuan years ago.

Zhao Xiufang was exercising in the park when Zhao Xiuli approached her and asked what couldn't be said over the phone. Zhao Xiufang angrily asked Zhao Xiuli why she rented out the house. As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhao Xiuli got angry and accused Zhao Xiufang of supporting Chen Ruohua in making her angry. Zhao Xiuli also asked Zhao Xiufang if Chen Ruohua was preparing for the civil service exam, but Zhao Xiufang deliberately kept her in suspense and didn't tell her.

While Zhao Xiufang was running, Zhao Xiuli sat down and chatted with Lao Wang for a while, only then did she learn that Lao Wang's son graduated from Fudan University. They started talking more about their children. Under Zhao Xiufang's persuasion, Zhao Xiuli agreed to bury her husband and son. After she agreed, Zhao Xiufang called Chen Ruohua and heard her agree to come and help when her father and brother were buried. Zhao Xiuli said she didn't care, but she was actually very relieved.

On the day of the burial, seeing how sad her mother was crying, Chen Ruohua couldn't help but hug her. Knowing that Chen Ruohua was going to take the civil service exam, Zhao Xiuli took care of her in every possible way, not letting her waste a second. But the more her mother did this, the more Chen Ruohua felt uneasy and began to understand how difficult her brother had been in the past.

In order to participate in the TV station performance, Lin Tianyu designed three dances for An Xin, each with a different level of difficulty. Chen Ruohua insisted on choosing the most difficult one, the Mechanical Engineer, so Lin Tianyu started teaching her. When Chen Ruohua came to see An Xin, she saw Lin Tianyu and Xiao Qiu surrounding her. Lin Tianyu was training An Xin, while Xiao Qiu was worried that An Xin would get too tired and insisted on letting her take a break.

Chen Ruohua couldn't help but say to An Xin, "I didn't expect these two big men to be jealous of each other for my sister. It really opened my eyes." When An Xin was seeing off Chen Ruohua, she deliberately asked if Chen Ruohua had any interest in Lin Tianyu. Chen Ruohua's impression of Lin Tianyu was that he looked average, but when he danced, he transformed into a different person. An Xin's conclusion about Lin Tianyu was that he shines when he dances.

Chen Ruohua received a magazine sent by Zhou Kai Ze. The article they wrote together was published in an international journal. When Chen Xiuli learned this news, she couldn't help but feel proud of her daughter. She specifically went to the library and bought all those magazines, telling the bookseller that the article on the front page was written by her daughter.

Initially, Lao Hu kicked her out of the group, but after she released this news, Lao Hu took the initiative to add her back to the group, which made her feel even more superior. Chen Ruohua texted Zhou Kaize to thank him for writing the article with her. Zhou Kaize told her that after the article was published, the editor-in-chief wanted to meet him.

So she thought about going to Beijing. She told An Xin about her idea, and An Xin immediately guessed that she wanted to go to Zhou Kaize and encouraged her to do whatever she wanted. Chen Ruohua boarded the train to Beijing and couldn't help but recall the scene when she and Zhou Kaize went to Qingdao together.

After arriving in Beijing, the editor-in-chief asked Chen Ruohua to attend a meeting to discuss new topics. She asked the editor-in-chief if Zhou Kaize would also attend the meeting, but the editor-in-chief told her that Zhou Kaize had an interview. Because Zhou Kaize wasn't there, Chen Ruohua didn't have the mood to participate in the discussion.

Finally, when the meeting was over, Chen Ruohua called Zhou Kaize and learned that she had arrived in Beijing. Zhou Kaize pretended to blame her for not informing him in advance. However, when Chen Ruohua eagerly rushed to the place where Zhou Kaize was being interviewed, she saw Zhou Kaize hugging a girl.

Chen Ruohua felt upset, drank alone, and as she drank, she thought about the scenes of being together with Zhou Kaize and couldn't help but cry. A man noticed her and asked if she had just experienced a breakup and offered to take her home. In order to get rid of the man, Chen Ruohua lied and said that her boyfriend would come to pick her up soon, then she called her middle school classmate, Liu Jingwei, whom she had encountered last time.

Liu Jingwei hurriedly came and took Chen Ruohua to his home. When he asked Chen Ruohua why she suddenly left Beijing, Chen Ruohua told Liu Jingwei that he was the last straw that overwhelmed her.
