Episode 18 recap: Huang Ying Zi tried to fool Zhuang Yuan to find Jiang Yi.

Huang Ying Zi actively sought out Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi refused to open the door when Huang Ying Zi arrived at the room. Later, Jiang Yi started wearing headphones and doing homework, but still had Huang Ying Zi on their mind. Zhuang Yuan was staying up late to do homework when Jiang Yi called to ask for help with their assignments.

With only one month left until the college entrance examination, Jiang Yi was studying hard to catch up with Huang Ying Zi and strive to go to Beijing together. However, Jiang Yi never told Huang Ying Zi about this plan and kept their goal hidden in their heart. Every day, Jiang Yi stayed up late doing exercises, hoping to improve their grades as quickly as possible.

Jiang Yi was constantly in a state of sleep deprivation. When the exam results came out, Jiang Yi's grades had improved and they received praise from the teacher. Although Jiang Yi appeared calm on the surface, they couldn't help but shout with joy once they left the classroom. Ding Ye was woken up by the sound of birds in the morning, and Huang Ying Zi had already gotten up early to make sure Ding Ye wouldn't miss the sunrise.

In fact, Huang Ying Zi was also curious and felt that the items on Ding Ye's wish list were completely contradictory to Ding Ye's personality. Ding Ye stated that those were not their own wishes and mentioned that they hadn't written anything in the past ten years. Ding Ye also confessed that they now envied Jiang Yi the most. However, while Ding Ye had developed feelings for Huang Ying Zi, Huang Ying Zi's heart belonged only to Jiang Yi.

Ding Ye was grateful to Huang Ying Zi and credited them for fulfilling all their wishes. Finally, the two of them witnessed the sunrise together. At the same time, Jiang Yi had stayed up all night to draw the relevant scenes from the game. Zhuang Yuan informed Jiang Yi that they planned to go for an interview at Fang Ming Yu's company that day, and Jiang Yi encouraged Zhuang Yuan.

However, when Jiang Yi saw Huang Ying Zi being brought back by Zhuang Yuan upstairs, they felt deeply disappointed. When Huang Ying Zi called Jiang Yi, there was no answer from their phone. Huang Ying Zi went to the company to find Jiang Yi, only to learn that Jiang Yi hadn't shown up for work all day. Ke Luo Yi mentioned that there was an important meeting that Jiang Yi had to attend. Huang Ying Zi had no choice but to find Zhuang Yuan, as they were the only one who could contact Jiang Yi. However, in front of Huang Ying Zi, Zhuang Yuan made a phone call and turned off their phone.

Zhuang Yuan almost revealed that they lived at Jiang Yi's house, but luckily they managed to cover it up, and Huang Ying Zi didn't suspect anything. When they were studying together, Huang Ying Zi always felt that Zhuang Yuan and Jiang Yi were teaming up to play tricks on her. Huang Ying Zi felt restless as Jiang Yi seemed to be avoiding her recently.

Zhuang Yuan looked at Huang Ying Zi who had been nagging in front of them, so they decided to reveal the truth. In fact, Jiang Yi wanted to strive to go to Beijing, hoping to surprise Huang Ying Zi. Jiang Yi's grades had increased by sixty points in just one month, which deeply moved Huang Ying Zi. They didn't expect Jiang Yi to do so much for them.

Huang Ying Zi couldn't help but shed tears. They looked at Jiang Yi who was dozing off and placed a bottle of milk on their desk, encouraging them. When school was over, Huang Ying Zi would also call Jiang Yi to walk home together.

The day of the college entrance examination arrived quickly, and everyone was working hard for their dreams. Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi were thinking about their future in college together. Soon, it was time to check the exam results. Huang Ying Zi scored 500 points, but Jiang Yi ended up with only 480 points. They couldn't go to Beijing together after all, and Jiang Yi felt deeply disappointed.

Jiang Yi's mother was comforting him, suggesting that he go to the UK. Jiang Yi was very angry because his mother had made a decision without consulting him. He asked his mother to leave his room. After the college entrance examination, everyone was talking about their aspirations for the future. Huang Ying Zi still felt a bit down, knowing that they couldn't go to Beijing with Jiang Yi.

Lan Yi Fei suggested that Jiang Yi could go to a foreign university in the future. In reality, Jiang Yi hadn't considered this option yet. Jiang Yi even said they could skip university and go straight to work. Jiang Yi actually wanted to know Huang Ying Zi's thoughts, but Huang Ying Zi didn't say anything and left home.

Jiang Yi went to Huang Ying Zi's house for dinner, and Huang Ying Zi had a gloomy expression. Jiang Yi drank their drink cautiously, and Huang Ying Zi didn't say a word. However, their parents could tell that something was bothering their daughter. Jiang Yi took the initiative to serve food to Huang Ying Zi, but they refused, saying they didn't like it.

The reason why Huang Ying Zi was cold towards Jiang Yi was that Jiang Yi's mother had approached them, hoping that Huang Ying Zi could persuade Jiang Yi to go to the UK. Huang Ying Zi was actually very reluctant to let Jiang Yi go abroad, but faced with the situation, they could only try to persuade Jiang Yi.

In the end, Jiang Yi agreed to go abroad because Huang Ying Zi intentionally called Zhuang Yuan out and mentioned Jiang Yi's dream. Huang Ying Zi did this to make Jiang Yi see them together and think they were in a romantic relationship. That's why Jiang Yi agreed to go abroad.
