Episode 7 recap: Deng Li Jun took the stage but was tripped up.
Duan Ning spoke with great distress, feeling very upset that her father had to pretend and put on an act every day. Deng Li Jun could only console her, and Duan Ning went on to say that her tutor was very impressive, and that after learning the tutor could sing English songs, Deng Li Jun had originally wanted to go see, but Duan Ning was worried her mother would see and scold her, so she refused.
Deng Li Jun took Duan Ning past the singing hall, and the woman who had quarreled with Li Yan was there making snide remarks, saying that to sing at the dance hall, one not only needed a good voice but also had to wear short skirts and interact with the audience, things that Deng Li Jun could not do. Deng Li Jun and Duan Ning left, and Duan Ning felt that since she couldn't take them on, she'd just avoid them.
However, Deng Li Jun still really wanted to perform on stage. When she got home, she told her brothers about it, but they felt it was not an easy thing to do and that their father would not agree. The eldest brother encouraged them, but Deng Li Jun was still worried her father would object.
The next morning, Deng Li Jun was surprised to find that her mother already knew about her wanting to sing on stage. Deng Li Jun really wanted to perform, and insisted she would not regret it. Zhao Su Gui ended up agreeing to let her daughter do it, and Deng Li Jun was very happy.
While shopping, Zhao Su Gui and Chen Sister suddenly saw Duan Ning's father accompanied by a woman, the two seeming very close. Zhao Su Gui quickly pulled Chen Sister away. Duan Ning told Zhou Tai Sheng about her good friend Deng Li Jun, and Zhou Tai Sheng said he could meet her when he had time.
Deng Li Jun hurried to the singing hall, but Little Spring Sister did not want the band to help her, and sent them home. Deng Li Jun's second brother brought everyone cold tea, which Little Spring was quite unwilling to accept. However, the band teacher was very cooperative and agreed to practice with Deng Li Jun.
Deng Li Jun also went to take her first photo in a small dress. Little Spring looked enviously at Deng Li Jun on stage. When Zhou Tai Sheng was sending Duan Ning home, he happened to see Deng Li Jun practicing singing at the door, and was instantly captivated.
Deng Li Jun turned and saw Duan Ning, and greeted her warmly. Zhou Tai Sheng's woodwind instrument was suddenly drawn to follow Duan Ning, leaving Deng Li Jun behind, much to Duan Ning's displeasure.
On the second day, Zhou Tai Sheng went to the music store and bought some Mandarin songs, as he had started to like Mandarin songs after hearing Deng Li Jun sing. When Zhou Tai Sheng was tutoring Duan Ning, he was listening to Mandarin songs. When Zhou Min went to the photo studio to pick up the family portrait, the store owner accidentally included Deng Li Jun's photo in the middle.
When Zhou Min went to retrieve the photo, he accidentally dropped Deng Li Jun's photo on the ground, and Zhou Tai Sheng secretly took it back with him. In the following days, Deng Li Jun was practicing singing every day, and Zhou Tai Sheng would sneak over the wall to greet him and ask why he was always singing that song. Deng Li Jun told him that they felt they did not understand the sentiment behind the song.
Zhou Tai Sheng explained his own understanding of the song to her. When Deng Li Jun's elder brother came to pick her up, Zhou Tai Sheng asked where she was performing, but Deng Li Jun did not say and left quickly. Deng Li Jun's third brother personally took her to the performance, where Xiao Chun was already singing on stage and greeting the audience. Xiao Chun got angry seeing Deng Li Jun standing at the side of the stage and intentionally pushed her out, but Deng Li Jun reacted quickly and started singing on stage. The audience loved Deng Li Jun's singing, and the performance was a great success.
Back home, Deng Li Jun told her mother Zhao Su Gui about the performance on stage, and Zhao Su Gui told her to be quiet so that her father Deng Shu wouldn't find out. Deng Li Jun felt she couldn't be immediately recognized by everyone for her singing, and she wanted to develop her own unique style.
Deng Li Jun asked her fifth brother to listen to her sing with his eyes closed, but it was still not easy for him to distinguish her voice. Zhou Tai Sheng had been tutoring Duan Ning in English, but her grades had not improved, and Zhou Tai Sheng was considering quitting. Duan Ning said it was because her father was having an affair.
Zhou Tai Sheng felt they needed evidence, and Duan Ning planned to take Zhou Tai Sheng to see the evidence. They happened to run into Deng Li Jun, who wanted Duan Ning to help identify the characteristics of her singing voice. Zhou Tai Sheng readily agreed and pointed out the characteristics of Deng Li Jun's singing.
Duan Ning quickly called Zhou Tai Sheng, and the two of them waited at the office entrance, and sure enough, they saw Duan Ning's father leave with another woman. Auntie Chen and Deng Li Jun's third brother accompanied Deng Li Jun to her performances every day, but just before a performance, Deng Li Jun's clothes went missing, and everyone backstage was very anxious about it.
