Episode 12 recap: Encountering New Problems at Dusk.
Jiang Jie looked excitedly at Li Nai, never expecting her to be so proactive. However, Li Nai's following words disappointed him greatly. Li Nai only wished him a happy New Year and then turned her head away, continuing to look at her phone. Jiang Jie hesitated for a while, awkwardly asking Li Nai not to play with her phone anymore, and bid her goodnight.
Cui Can was alone in the store, feeling down. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiu appeared in front of him. Seeing his beloved, Cui Can was overjoyed. The two of them talked and laughed for a long time. When the rain stopped, Cui Can was about to accompany Jiang Xiu home. Suddenly, Jiang Xiu asked him if he liked her. Cui Can nodded repeatedly, and Jiang Xiu took the initiative to ask Cui Can. Cui Can was filled with excitement, kissing Jiang Xiu while holding her tightly.
The next morning, Li Nai saw Jiang Jie carrying an oil drum and felt very puzzled. Jiang Jie had told her the previous night that his car was out of gas. Li Nai was concerned that Jiang Jie would be cold sleeping in the car, so she let him stay in the tent.
Jiang Jie explained to her that the oil drum was in the trunk and he only remembered it this morning. After saying this, he also took out a bundle of wildflowers and gave them to Li Nai. Seeing the surprised look on Li Nai's face, he hurriedly explained that they were for Uncle Li's painting. Manager Zhu informed Jiang Xu Yang about Jiang Jie and Li Nai spending the night outside. After hearing Manager Zhu's words, Jiang Xu Yang found the situation more and more interesting.
He embraced Manager Zhu affectionately for a while and then suddenly asked her how Jiang Yuanfeng found out about Jiang Jie organizing the team building. Manager Zhu admitted that she was the one who told Jiang Yuanfeng. Jiang Xu Yang warned her that he wanted her loyalty to him alone and instructed her to continue closely monitoring Jiang Jie.
Manager Zhu thought this eligible bachelor had feelings for her. After she left, Jiang Xu Yang looked at her back with a face full of disdain. Li Nai was about to close the shop when a little girl named Zhou Zhou came to celebrate her birthday. Her grandmother brought her to have a Western-style meal, but they were disappointed to learn that Huanghun didn't serve Western food. However, Li Nai told them that Huanghun could prepare Chinese-style Western dishes. When the grandmother and granddaughter inquired about the price, Li Nai informed them that they were the first customers and invited them to taste the dishes for free.
After allowing the grandmother and granddaughter into the shop, Li Nai incorporated the style of Western cuisine into Chinese dishes, as taught by Jiang Jie. Zhou Zhou and her grandmother truly enjoyed the meal and praised it incessantly. It was the best meal they had ever had in their lives. Before leaving, Zhou Zhou even took some promotional flyers to advertise Huanghun for free.
After the grandmother and granddaughter left, while Li Nai was cleaning the table, she unexpectedly found 200 yuan under a plate. After pocketing the money, she couldn't help but feel excited, thinking about the praise from the grandmother and granddaughter. So, she impulsively went to Chun Cheng. When Jiang Jie saw Li Nai entering, he felt very surprised and even took the initiative to cook a delicious meal for her.
While they were eating, Jiang Jie noticed something at the corner of Li Nai's mouth and was about to wipe it off for her. Due to the close proximity and the atmosphere becoming somewhat ambiguous, Li Nai unexpectedly hiccuped. While Li Nai was getting water for Li Nai, she wandered around Jiang Jie's house and unexpectedly saw a photo of Jiang Jie's master, like a wake-up call.
Jiang Jie noticed Li Nai's change in mood and told her about the scene when he knelt in the rain, begging Master Xue to take in Jiang Xiu after his parents passed away. However, Master Xue was afraid of offending the Jiang family and rejected them. After listening to Jiang Jie's story, Li Nai let go of her hostility towards him.
Thanks to the promotion by Zhou Zhou and her grandmother, business suddenly improved at Huanghun. However, due to the high-quality ingredients and low prices of the dishes, the restaurant's income was not substantial. Following Zhao Jing Jing's suggestion, Li Nai decided to collaborate with Xi Jiang Yue and use their near-expiry ingredients. When Li Nai went with Jiang Xu Yang to Xi Jiang Yue to inspect the ingredients, she unexpectedly saw Jiang Jie. She quickly hid to the side, but Jiang Jie still noticed her.
