In Episode 3, Huang Lin Xi anxiously waits for Zhang Hai Chao to wake up, fawning over his long eyelashes and making Li Dong Sheng and the others laugh. Zhang Hai Chao pretends to be asleep, then accuses Huang Lin Xi of causing him to fall into the water. Huang Lin Xi takes Li Dong Sheng's advice and tries to attract Zhang Hai Chao by showing off her swimming skills, but it backfires. Li Dong Sheng notices that Zhang Hai Chao enjoys teasing Huang Lin Xi, and later, Zhang Hai Chao receives a call saying he has been accepted as a graduate student in chip design at UC Berkeley, which he is excited about.
Huang Lin Xi goes to apologize to Zhang Hai Chao and wants to study abroad with him, but he rejects her. She publicly confesses her feelings, but Zhang Hai Chao says she just wants to use him for business in the US. Heartbroken, Huang Lin Xi leaves. Li Dong Sheng thinks Zhang Hai Chao is too heartless, but he just wants Huang Lin Xi to give up.
Li Dong Sheng, Liu Han, Ou Yang Zi Xia, and Zhang Hai Chao go to study in the US. Li Dong Sheng is initially excited but disappointed to hear gunshots on the streets. Zhang Hai Chao focuses on his chip research, while Huang Lin Xi decides to apply to study in the US despite being told it's unlikely.
Huang Lin Xi enrolls with a study abroad agency, whose teacher is skeptical about her chances. But Huang Lin Xi persists in her studies. Li Dong Sheng wants to start a chip company with Zhang Hai Chao, but Zhang Hai Chao wants to work alone. They meet Huang Zhong Kai, who recommends Zhang Hai Chao to Berkeley, but Zhang Hai Chao discovers Huang Zhong Kai has plagiarized his chip design and wants to sue him but lacks the funds for a lawyer.
After months of hard work, Huang Lin Xi decides to go to the US to find Zhang Hai Chao, despite the study agency advising against it. Li Dong Sheng and Zhang Hai Chao struggle to secure funding for their ventures. They later meet the director of the Silicon Valley Chinese Entrepreneur Fund, who is interested in their technology and suggests they enter a robot competition to attract investment.
