Episode 13 recap: The police discovered the body of Xia Gang.
Xiao Zhe successfully persuaded Yu An Duo to go back with him to see Yu De Kai. As they were leaving the inn, Ma Zhuo and Xia Ze exchanged a tender gaze, each having a place for the other in their hearts. Xia Hua kindly reminded them to be careful and specifically told Ma Zhuo to remember to come back and see her.
Xia Ze watched them leave, and Xia Hua teased him that his heart had already flown away, while Hu Wan also encouraged him to bravely pursue his feelings. Xiao Zhe was surprised at his success in bringing back Yu An Duo, and Yu An Duo curiously asked him if he still fell in love like he did when he was young. Xia Ze coincidentally encountered Ma Zhuo outside her apartment, claiming he was lost.
Although Ma Zhuo appeared calm on the surface, she was inwardly delighted to bring Xia Ze back home. Xia Ze went into the kitchen and asked Ma Zhuo what she wanted to eat, and Ma Zhuo suspected he had planned this in advance. Xia Ze confessed that he hadn't originally intended to come, but changed his mind when he saw Ma Zhuo.
Ma Zhuo denied ever giving Xia Ze a chance, insisting they were just friends. Yu An Duo saw Yu De Kai's alcoholism and dependence on her, and tried to control her emotions. Xia Ze showed concern for Ma Zhuo's health and pointed out that her food was expired. Ma Zhuo firmly denied her relationship with Xia Ze, but Xia Ze insisted that he was her boyfriend.
Ma Zhuo ate the food Xia Ze made, saying it was average, but chased him to go home. Xia Ze promised to leave after finishing the meal, but Ma Zhuo felt reluctant. Seeing Xia Ze's smile, Ma Zhuo knew she had been tricked by him again. Ma Zhuo's morning was enriched as Xia Ze attentively cared for her, lifting her spirits.
However, just as Xia Ze and Ma Zhuo were enjoying their tender moment, the police's call disrupted the peace, informing them that Xia Gang's body had been found by the river. Xia Hua and Xia Ze were devastated with grief, and determined to find the murderer. Ma Zhuo also rushed to the police station to provide clues.
She suspected the killer of Xia Gang and Chen Guo Guo was the same person, and apologized to Xia Hua for her misunderstanding. Xia Hua hoped Ma Zhuo could console Xia Ze, as their bond was deep and Xia Ze's pain was unimaginable.
Xia Ze came alone to a tranquil place, his self-blame and pain intertwined. Ma Zhuo empathized deeply, hoping he could release his emotions through crying.
