Episode 2 recap: Li Yi Jin and Zhou Dao broke up.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Wan Qing and Tao Shu Na returned home and were about to order takeout when Zheng Bin sent a message asking Meng Wan Qing to come downstairs to pick up something. Meng Wan Qing went downstairs alone, and Zheng Bin, under the guise of New Year's greetings, brought a large box of seafood for Meng Wan Qing and wanted to give Tao Shu Na a mobile phone as well. Meng Wan Qing felt embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift from Zheng Bin, so she refused the phone but took the seafood. Unfortunately, Tao Da Lei happened to witness this encounter. After Zheng Bin left, Tao Da Lei became jealous and started arguing with Meng Wan Qing, questioning her relationship with Zheng Bin and suspecting that Zheng Bin had ulterior motives.
No matter how Meng Wan Qing tried to explain, Tao Da Lei demanded that she resign, while Meng Wan Qing threatened to make Tao Da Lei financially support the family and told him to shut up. Unable to gain any advantage, Tao Da Lei went home and sought Tao Shu Na's opinion. Meng Wan Qing didn't want Tao Shu Na to know about her and Zheng Bin, so she could only use the pretext of Tao Da Lei's previous request to repair a grave and agreed to Tao Da Lei's demands.
After Meng Wan Qing finished talking with Tao Da Lei, she wanted to sleep with Tao Shu Na, but at that moment, Tao Shu Na received a message and was preparing to return to school, which surprised and saddened Meng Wan Qing. Meng Ming Wei made a delicious meal for Li Yi Jin, taking care of her from beginning to end and even forcing her to drink blood soup. However, when Li Yi Jin saw the blood soup, it reminded her of drinking chicken blood at Zhou Dao's house, making her feel nauseous and wanting to vomit.
Unaware of the situation, Meng Ming Wei showed concern for Li Yi Jin's eating and clothing. She took out the new clothes she bought for Li Yi Jin, wanting her to dress up and do her hair before going on a blind date. Li Yi Jin didn't want to accept Meng Ming Wei's arrangements and mentioned that she would return to Shanghai in a few days. However, before she could finish speaking, she felt extremely nauseous and rushed to the toilet to vomit.
Seeing Li Yi Jin's condition, Meng Ming Wei suspected that she might be pregnant and secretly searched through Li Yi Jin's bag, only to find birth control pills. Meng Ming Wei confronted Li Yi Jin about the birth control pills and questioned whether she was in such a hurry to go to Zhou Dao's house because she was pregnant. However, Zhou Dao's family denied it, so she returned home dejectedly.
Li Yi Jin didn't want to explain too much to Meng Ming Wei, but Meng Ming Wei insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check-up and wanted to report Zhou Dao to the police. Left with no choice, Li Yi Jin had to earnestly tell Meng Ming Wei that she was not pregnant.
Li Yi Jin started her period, and Meng Ming Wei realized that she had misunderstood Li Yi Jin. However, Li Yi Jin couldn't tolerate Meng Ming Wei's excessive interference and decided to take her luggage and return to Shanghai. When Li Yi Jin arrived at her place, she found that Zhou Dao had already come back. She was waiting for Zhou Dao to explain, but Zhou Dao came with a gift, hoping to appease Li Yi Jin with a few words.
Li Yi Jin got angry and demanded an explanation from Zhou Dao. However, Zhou Dao refused to talk about his parents and stated that it was unlikely for them to get married. Li Yi Jin was furious upon hearing Zhou Dao's words, and Zhou Dao claimed that Li Yi Jin was only with him to escape Meng Ming Wei, which hurt Li Yi Jin's feelings.
Li Yi Jin reflected on the excessive interference from Meng Ming Wei throughout her life. She admitted that she got involved with Zhou Dao to break free from Meng Ming Wei because Meng Ming Wei didn't like Zhou Dao.
Li Yi Jin and Zhou Dao broke up. She packed her things and prepared to move out of their rental house. Unfortunately, her cherished bottle, which she had for six years, broke when the suitcase suddenly ripped. After the bottle shattered, Li Yi Jin went to Meng Yi An's place and cried her heart out in sorrow. Even when Meng Yi An gave her a bottle, which was her favorite gift, she couldn't find any joy.
Zhou Dao went to a bar to drink, and when his friends tried to dissuade him, he took out a box of shattered glass from the broken bottle and asked his friends to find someone who could glue it back together. Meng Yi An woke up early in the morning to make breakfast, take care of Qiu Qiu's daily routine, and arrange various experience classes for Qiu Qiu before going to work.
Li Yi Jin overslept and hurriedly went to work in the morning. Before she could even sort out her feelings from the heartbreak, her colleagues started gossiping, leaving her with no time to be sad. Tao Shu Na returned to school to participate in a research project arranged by her mentor. She was the only female student in the field, which excited the other male members of the project team, who expressed their desire to protect her.
Tao Shu Na stated that she didn't need anyone's protection and immediately requested to start the experiment. Meng Yi An returned to work at the company and found that someone was using the nursing room. She directly approached them and asked them to leave, considering the needs of the female employees at the company who were breastfeeding. Liao Zhe deliberately approached Tao Shu Na while she was having lunch and struck up a conversation. Tao Shu Na jokingly asked if Liao Zhe still had feelings for her, but to her surprise, Liao Zhe directly stated that he saw Tao Shu Na as a man, which made Tao Shu Na feel embarrassed.
