Title: The Coming of Age CeremonyIn episode 5, Gold and Yu were forced to spend an awkward period of time together due to an accidental super glue incident. That night, their right hands were firmly stuck together, so they had to return to Gold's house to eat dinner together. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit tense, as Gold's right hand was trapped. However, Yu cleverly avoided criticizing Gold, and instead praised his performance at school in front of Gold's older brother.
When discussing ways to remove the glue, Yu suggested using nail polish remover, but unfortunately, Gold's brother was busy taking a phone call and missed the opportunity. So the two had to endure a sleepless night with their hands stuck together, carefully concealing the situation the next morning to avoid drawing attention from their classmates and teachers.
At school, they desperately sought help from their classmates, but were repeatedly turned away. Eventually, Huo, out of affection for Xiao Mei, volunteered to assist them. Xiao Mei eagerly agreed, partly motivated by a desire to integrate into the new social group. Just then, a class assignment crisis arose, but Gold cleverly submitted his work first, avoiding further embarrassment. Yu had planned to ask the tough-girl Du Sha for help, but was surprised to discover that she was a nail polish remover collector, leaving the male students speechless.
With the nail polish remover finally obtained, the two were able to free their hands and regain their independence. Du Sha privately approached Gold, mistakenly believing that his actions were out of affection for her. Gold felt a little disappointed, realizing she had not noticed the issue he truly cared about.
During a cleaning session, Gold tried to remove his clothes to cool off, but was stopped by Yu. Unfortunately, they were caught by the dean, leading to Gold accidentally spraining his ankle. Yu stepped up, requesting an excuse from the PE teacher, and ended up being punished with frog jumps as a result. Gold unhesitatingly joined him in the punishment, demonstrating their deep friendship.
On the eve of the coming-of-age ceremony, Gold asked Yu for help selecting traditional Chinese attire, but was met with a cold reception due to a misunderstanding. On the day of the ceremony, all the teachers and students wore traditional Chinese outfits, creating a solemn yet celebratory atmosphere.
Gold's affection for Du Sha was evident, but went unrequited. Meanwhile, Xiao Mei mustered the courage to confess to Yu, but was interrupted by Huo. When Yu was concerned about Gold, he accidentally injured himself in the restroom, and Gold then learned of Yu's secret night blindness, promising to keep it confidential.
