Episode 8 recap: Yue Qian Ling's strength has gained recognition from Gu Xun.
Yue Qian Ling heard Gu Xun say that he is the "campus hunk" and saw the advertisement for the "campus hunk confession" in the elevator. She thought he was feeling superior and didn't give him another chance to speak. She directly expressed that their paths should go their separate ways and they should have no further intersection. She turned around and walked away, leaving Gu Xun frustrated and unable to stop her.
Chen Xin Yi has been gone for a long time to get a document stamped. Jiang Jun Nan quickly reminded her that the document must be delivered within two hours. In order to complete this task, Chen Xin Yi practiced on her own how to please the finance department. But when she actually faced the finance department, she was accused of trying to disrupt the process with just a cup of milk tea. The person was not polite and drove her away. Chen Xin Yi felt wronged and her eyes turned red. Jiang Jun Nan arrived at the finance department and witnessed this scene. He couldn't bear to say the reproachful words when he heard the finance department criticize Chen Xin Yi. He apologized to the general manager on the phone.
Gu Xun discovered that Wang Hai was responsible for leaking the pictures, so he called him in to reprimand him. Wang Hai believed that everyone who drank that night was from the company and nothing bad would happen. He blamed Gu Xun for meddling too much. When Wang Hai found out that Gu Xun wanted to fire him, he threatened Gu Xun in anger. But Gu Xun is a principled person, and since Wang Hai had crossed his bottom line, he absolutely couldn't stay. Gu Xun deliberately reminded Jiang Jun Nan to have Wang Hai sign a confidentiality agreement, which finally made Wang Hai leave.
Yue Qian Ling moved out of the school and just moved into a rental house with a lot of things. Because of this, she occupied the elevator, but when Gu Xun returned, he found that the elevator was unavailable and had to take the stairs. As he walked, he complained about who lacked public morality. Yue Qian Ling happened to overhear this, and it was only after they met that they realized they had become neighbors.
Yue Qian Ling remembered that she had just set boundaries with Gu Xun during the day, but now they were neighbors at night. She couldn't accept it, so she talked to the landlord about switching to another unit. However, that unit had already been rented out, so she thought about returning the current one. But if she did that, she would lose her deposit, so she had no choice but to temporarily live there. Gu Xun knew that Yue Qian Ling lived across from him and always wanted to talk to her, but Yue Qian Ling didn't want to have anything to do with him. When he saw the delivery guy bringing sheep stomach to Yue Qian Ling, he immediately thought of learning how to make sheep stomach to please her. He immediately asked Jiang Jun Nan to buy sheep stomach, endured the stench, and prepared it. Surprisingly, it turned out to be delicious. Jiang Jun Nan thought it was good, but Gu Xun didn't have the courage to try it. He took the dog food and went out to feed the stray dogs. Coincidentally, he ran into Yue Qian Ling, who was also there. That's when he found out that her sheep stomach was meant for the stray dogs.
Gu Xun approached Yue Qian Ling in an attempt to improve their relationship, but the smell of the sheep stomach made him feel sick to the point of nausea. This made Yue Qian Ling even more infuriated, and Gu Xun's explanation once again failed to come out.
Yue Qian Ling discovered that the air conditioning remote control was broken and quickly contacted the landlord. However, the landlord was busy playing mahjong and directed Yue Qian Ling to borrow from the opposite side since their air conditioner models were the same. But Yue Qian Ling was determined not to bow down to Gu Xun, even if it meant suffering in the heat and not owing him any favors.
Gu Xun, using his status as the "campus hunk," found out about Yue Qian Ling's predicament and made up an excuse to visit her. Initially, Yue Qian Ling didn't want to pay him any attention, but Gu Xun claimed that he was sent by the landlord. Reluctantly, Yue Qian Ling let him in. After turning on the air conditioner, Gu Xun once again wanted to confess that he was the "campus hunk," but he coincidentally discovered that Yue Qian Ling used the "campus hunk" as an outlet for her emotions. He decided to maintain the current situation and quickly withdrew the confession he hadn't sent yet.
The picture leaked by Wang Hai after drinking too much found its way onto the internet. This was a significant issue for the ninth department, and Gu Xun immediately called the graphic designer back to redesign the scene and investigate the leak. He deliberately released a large number of excellent discarded designs as a marketing strategy, successfully capturing everyone's attention and increasing their anticipation for the game "Xia Lu."
Yue Qian Ling paid attention to this incident and saw Lin Zhi's artwork. She admired the graphic designer's skills and decided to try her hand at creating her own artwork. Surprisingly, her artwork struck a chord with Gu Xun. Gu Xun took the initiative to contact "Sleep Until Naturally Awake," but received no response. He had a feeling that the name was familiar and remembered that he had once competed against someone with that name in an internet cafe. He went to inquire with the cafe owner, but the owner didn't know the person's real name, only that she was a particularly strong female player. Gu Xun was almost certain it was Yue Qian Ling, so he took the opportunity when he was taking out the trash to test her with his words. When he confirmed it was her, he felt happy inside.
Yue Qian Ling knew that Gu Xun's in-game name was "Naturally Awake," and her own name, "Sleep Until Naturally Awake," made people draw various associations. Therefore, she requested to change her name. The cafe owner advised Yue Qian Ling to stay calm and explained that if she changed her name, she wouldn't be at the top of the rankings anymore. At that moment, Gu Xun arrived and extended an olive branch to Yue Qian Ling, hoping that they could work together.
