Episode 5 recap: Ma Zhuo met Xia Ze.
Little Ma Zhuo was tutored by her teacher due to problems with her accent, but it was difficult to correct, causing the teacher's dissatisfaction. Among her classmates, she was mocked and bullied for her rural background and close relationship with males, and was ultimately injured as a result. After Ma Zhuo's mother learned of this, she resolutely defended her daughter, intimidating other parents by citing her daughter's martial arts training.
Although Ma Zhuo felt comforted, her mother's indifference towards her made her feel uneasy. To train her daughter, Ma Zhuo's mother sent her to Xia Ze's home to learn boxing. Xia Ze enthusiastically encouraged Ma Zhuo, and the two formed a deep friendship. When Ma Zhuo saw Xia Ze being bullied, she would step in to help, and Xia Ze felt somewhat jealous of the affection Ma Zhuo received from his father.
Chen Guo Guo cleverly informed Xia Ze's father about Xia Ze's outstanding performance at school, and as a result, Xia Ze received his father's praise. Xia Ze took the opportunity to ask his father not to hit him anymore, and his father affectionately patted his head. Both Ma Zhuo and Xia Ze received their families' recognition and care, and Ma Zhuo's mother also expressed her appreciation for their friendship.
However, Ma Zhuo still felt her mother's indifference towards her and began to regret being taken out. Ma Zhuo's mother also felt disappointed, believing that her daughter's behavior was excessive, and that her own efforts had not received the due return.
Troubled, Ma Zhuo was forcefully taken by Xia Ze to have a meal and be comforted. Xia Ze explained Ma Zhuo's mother's hardship, and Ma Zhuo swore in front of her mother's grave that she would find Xia Gang and get an explanation from him.
Ma Zhuo followed Xia Ze and witnessed his conflict with Zhang Ge, calling the police to rescue him. Xia Ze revealed that if he found his father, he would report him to the authorities, and he tried to make amends with Ma Zhuo. Ma Zhuo felt Xia Ze's attempts at compensation were futile, but she still had feelings for him. Xia Ze took Ma Zhuo home, and Ma Zhuo was puzzled as to why they were still living there, to which Xia Ze replied that it was to make it convenient for his father to come home.
Xia Hua revealed that because Xia Gang was a murderer, her boyfriend had been scared away. Ma Zhuo wanted to check the things Xia Gang had left behind.
