Episode 3 recap: He Zhi Nan and Gao Peng Break Up
In Episode 3, Han Su and Qu Yi Peng are in the middle of a playful argument when Han Su's mother unexpectedly video calls, asking how to use the Tmall Genie that Qu Yi Peng sent her. Han Su casually suggests looking at the manual, but her mother insists she can't understand it, making Han Su a bit anxious. Seeing this, Qu Yi Peng quickly takes over the phone and patiently explains it to her mother.
When Han Su returns to the living room, she finds Qu Yi Peng busy wrapping pickled bamboo shoots in plastic wrap. She quickly apologizes, and Qu Yi Peng admits he was at fault too. Han Su then reveals that she has a business trip to Shanghai for three days starting tomorrow. While Qu Yi Peng prepares the bamboo shoots, he changes his original plan for their four-year anniversary gift from a surprise to tiramisu.
Meanwhile, Sun Han Han successfully completes her business trip and wants to ask her supervisor, Xin Jie, for a bit of time off to avoid the exhaustion of flying overnight. Xin Jie is understanding and agrees. Sun Han Han thinks about thanking Mr. Zhou, who helped her at the airport, and messages him to see if he’s available for dinner. Mr. Zhou readily agrees, and they set a dinner date. To prepare, Sun Han Han even changes into a new outfit.
Han Su chats with her friend Zeng Cheng about her application to go to Hong Kong. Zeng Cheng is curious if she has told Qu Yi Peng, but Han Su replies that nothing has been officially approved yet and she plans to mention it later. Zeng Cheng speculates that Han Su's trip might be related to someone special, but Han Su doesn’t elaborate. Reflecting on her relationship with Qu Yi Peng, Han Su feels she has evolved from looking up to him to being at eye level, even able to scrutinize him. Despite Qu Yi Peng treating her well, Han Su decides to head home since it’s their four-year anniversary.
Qu Yi Peng plans to invite He Zhi Nan out for tiramisu to celebrate, but Han Su unexpectedly returns home with a surprise—a new computer. Qu Yi Peng feels guilty for not having a gift ready, but Han Su lightheartedly says all he needs to do is cook dinner. However, while shopping, Qu Yi Peng receives a call from home informing him that his father has been injured.
Understanding that Qu Yi Peng needs money, Han Su sacrifices a pair of shoes she has wanted for a long time, claiming she doesn’t like them. Sun Han Han, dressed to impress in a new dress, meets with Lawyer Zhou, who is visibly taken by her appearance. During dinner, Lawyer Zhou is invited to the main table while Sun Han Han sits at another table, where she receives several flirtatious approaches asking for her WeChat.
On the other side, while eating cherries, He Zhi Nan accidentally swallows a pit, which reminds her of her first kiss with Gao Peng. She calls him to confirm the memory, but he doesn’t remember at all, leaving her feeling disappointed and questioning whether he still loves her. Consequently, she decides to break up with him. Although Gao Peng tries to win her back with expensive gifts, He Zhi Nan remains unmoved, even contemplating selling them. It’s only when she sees the bracelet he bought for her after saving up that she tears up, realizing that true love isn’t measured by the value of gifts.
As for Qu Yi Peng, he misses his tiramisu date with He Zhi Nan due to family issues and fabricates a kind lie about his father being hospitalized. Life is filled with unexpected twists and turns, but everyone holds onto their own sense of persistence and warmth.
