Episode 3 recap: Hao Wei Lai and Xia Yuan teamed up to rescue Ye Siqi.
Ye Siqi was led into a dormitory by a man and quickly locked inside. She knew she was in trouble, but her phone was taken away, so she couldn't contact the outside world. She had no choice but to work obediently. One day, the man pointed out that Ye Siqi had done something wrong and used it as an excuse to take advantage of her. Fortunately, Ye Siqi reacted quickly and managed to avoid him. However, that night, the man, who had been drinking, came looking for Ye Siqi and tried to force himself on her. Ye Siqi threatened to die, and the man was unable to succeed.
Ye Siqi had been trying to find a way to escape. One day, when no one was paying attention, she tried to open the roller shutter door secretly but couldn't. She noticed that her phone was still on the table and quickly contacted Xia Yuan. Luckily, Xia Yuan answered the call in time and received the location sent by Ye Siqi. They hurriedly took Hao Wei Lai to rescue her.
Hao Wei Lai generously tipped and got to know a security guard named Jack. They happened to meet Jack, who had finished work, at the hotel entrance, so they brought him along to rescue Ye Siqi. Hao Wei Lai and Xia Yuan arrived at the illegal factory and knocked on the door, but the people inside refused to open it. Thinking quickly, Hao Wei Lai had Jack pretend to be a public official and demand the door to be opened. The three of them entered the basement to find Ye Siqi, but the people inside denied her presence. Hao Wei Lai keenly spotted Ye Siqi's phone and used it as evidence against them. He presented the contract signed by Ye Siqi, proving that she was working there.
Hao Wei Lai immediately warned them about the crime of illegal detention, forcing them to release Ye Siqi. Under the threat of Jack's police identity, the people at the illegal factory dared not act aggressively and had no choice but to let Hao Wei Lai and Xia Yuan take Ye Siqi away. Ye Siqi hadn't had a proper rest in the past few days, and now that she had escaped, she finally relaxed and fell asleep in the car.
Because Hao Wei Lai didn't hesitate to accompany Xia Yuan to rescue Ye Siqi this time and showed such cleverness, Xia Yuan's opinion of Hao Wei Lai changed significantly. They reintroduced themselves, and upon hearing each other's English names, they couldn't help but laugh. To express her gratitude to Xia Yuan and Hao Wei Lai for rescuing her and helping her retrieve her luggage, Ye Siqi treated them to a meal and praised Hao Wei Lai as a good person.
Hao Wei Lai remembered the several encounters with Xia Yuan where they misunderstood each other or were misunderstood by others, and couldn't help but sigh at their lack of compatibility. Xia Yuan realized that she had misunderstood Hao Wei Lai many times in the past and quickly apologized to him. They reconciled over a drink, but unexpectedly, Hao Wei Lai managed to upset both Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi. What was initially meant to be a thank-you meal turned into a situation where he had to apologize to Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi.
Today, Hao Wei Lai found out that his room card suddenly stopped working. He went to the front desk to inquire and learned that his card had been deactivated. Hao Wei Lai had no choice but to check out quickly and pack his luggage before saying goodbye to Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan accompanied him for a short distance before they parted ways. With no money at the moment, Hao Wei Lai had to continue on foot to find his friend.
Xia Yuan had originally planned to help Ye Siqi find a job, but Ye Siqi, having experienced the ordeal of an illegal factory, didn't want to be alone and insisted on staying by Xia Yuan's side. The two of them went to a farm, where they were greeted by a beautiful landscape that lifted their spirits. Xia Yuan asked around about Song Hang Yu, but no one knew him. Kate, who was in charge of managing the farm, heard the name Song Hang Yu and not only denied knowing Xia Yuan's fiancé but also displayed animosity towards Xia Yuan, treating her rudely and making her mother feel apologetic.
Both Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi needed jobs, and the farm happened to be in urgent need of manpower. They requested Mrs. Smith to let them stay, which displeased Kate. However, she couldn't refuse Mrs. Smith's arrangement and reluctantly agreed to let them stay. Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi shared the same room and showed mutual consideration, each insisting that the other take the bed. Once they settled in and arranged the room, they contacted their families. Xia Yuan's parents were delighted to hear that she had temporarily settled down and felt a bit relieved knowing that Ye Siqi was her roommate.
Without any prepared food, Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi had no choice but to seek assistance from Mrs. Smith. When they arrived at her house for a meal, Kate made sarcastic remarks about Xia Yuan always taking things from others, which Ye Siqi couldn't tolerate. She immediately questioned Kate about her constant targeting of Xia Yuan.
Mrs. Smith also felt that Kate was being too harsh. As Xia Yuan and Ye Siqi were about to leave, she gave them some bread to take along. Meanwhile, Hao Wei Lai arrived at the farm, thinking that his friend Alan was still staying there. He entered a random room without permission and found a variety of food to satisfy his hunger. However, when he was on the verge of falling asleep, a gun was pointed at him, and only then did he realize that he didn't recognize the woman in front of him.
