Episode 4 recap: Ma Zhuo recalls her childhood memories.
Xia Ze wants to go to the market to buy vegetables for his master, but is stopped by Ma Zhuo, who asks why he is avoiding her. Xia Ze admits that his father and Ma Zhuo's mother are about to get married, and the situation is set in stone, with no turning back. Ma Zhuo suspects that there must be a hidden reason for her mother's marriage to Uncle Xia, as she has never heard her mother mention him before.
Xia Ze understands his father's deep affection for Ma Zhuo's mother, and Ma Zhuo proposes that they both make concessions, allowing their parents to live their own lives, while she and Xia Ze seek their own paths. While Xia Ze respects Ma Zhuo's choice, he deeply feels that he cannot let down his father and sister's expectations, and he must take on the responsibility.
Ma Zhuo senses Xia Ze's rejection, and Xia Ze hopes that time can fade everything, and that Ma Zhuo may be able to forget him in a new environment. However, when Ma Zhuo leaves, Xia Ze still feels heartbroken. Ma Zhuo looks at the items her mother has prepared for her, unmoved, believing that her mother need not make such a great effort.
Ma Zhuo's mother is proud to have completed her mission of raising her daughter to become a university student, worthy of her deceased husband. However, Ma Zhuo feels her mother's words are full of threats. Xiao Zhe comes to pick up Ma Zhuo, and she leaves without looking back, unaware that her mother is following her. Xia Ze watches Ma Zhuo leave, and although he is reluctant, he knows she should have a better future.
When Yu De Kai sees Ma Zhuo return, he is delighted and invites her to tour his office, eager for her future. Ma Zhuo skillfully changes the subject, praising Yu An Duo's recording studio. Yu De Kai then complains about his difficulty in seeing his daughter, and Ma Zhuo inquires about Xia Gang's news, learning that there is still no information, but Ma Zhuo decides to continue waiting.
Although Xiao Zhe does not like being controlled by his father, he proactively asks if he can help. Ma Zhuo thanks him, but is then secretly photographed. They agree to meet on the rooftop, and Xiao Zhe invites Ma Zhuo to meet with Officer Geng on Saturday.
Officer Geng is pleased to see Ma Zhuo's visit, but reveals that even after seven years, there is still no news of Xia Gang.
Ma Zhuo looks at her mother's photo, recalling her childhood experiences with her mother, feeling both nostalgia and a touch of resentment. Xia Ze cleverly hides in Ma Zhuo's home during a battle, and they become connected as a result. When Ma Zhuo sees her mother drunkenly returning home, she feels her mother has lost the support of her uncle, but her mother assures her that she will take care of her, providing her with enough money and love, which deeply touches Ma Zhuo.
