Neighborhood and Business Drama
The Tire Slasher Is Caught
Remember the tire slashing in the parking garage? Old Yang finally caught the person responsible. It was the kid belonging to the "Radish Couple." The child did it because everyone in the residents' group chat was gossiping about their family's arguments. The kid was taught to get revenge whenever they feel wronged. Even after being caught, the parents didn't see anything wrong with what their kid did. Old Zhao threatened to post the whole story in the owner's group. He also suggested they should probably move out before the entire neighborhood turns on them.
Tang Xiaowei's Salon Opening
Tang Xiaowei's nail salon is officially open for business.She invited an influencer friend to come by for a free service, hoping for some free publicity. But the friend didn't just get a free manicure. She also took several boxes of face masks without paying. Then, she brought a whole group of her friends for more free treatments. One of Xiaowei's employees had to pull her aside. She warned Xiaowei that her last salon went out of business for this exact reason.
The Great Phone Epidemic
This is where things really got messy. Liu Xiangshang's boss gave him a new phone. So, Xiangshang gave his old phone to his son, Guoning. Guoning then gave his old phone to his little sister, Liu Guobao.
A New Addiction
Once Guobao got her hands on a phone, she was hooked.Dai Jing was not happy about it. She and Xiangshang set up strict rules about when she could and couldn't use it. Of course, the phone drama didn't stop there. Xiao Jiarui secretly brought his phone to school and got caught by a teacher. This led to Teacher Wang sending a message to the parent group chat. She asked all the parents to work with her to control their kids' phone use.
The parents immediately started another private chat without the teacher. They all agreed that banning phones completely is impossible. Kids need them for homework and research. Then they saw a news story about a girl who threatened to jump off a building because her parents took her phone away. This spooked Liu Xiangshang and Dai Jing. They decided they needed to watch Guobao even more closely.
An Accidental Kiss and a Huge Misunderstanding
Guobao started secretly playing on her phone late into the night.This made her tired during the day. In gym class, she was so sleepy that she tripped while running. She fell and accidentally landed on Ma Ziheng, kissing his cheek in the process.
Now, Ma Ziheng had recently asked Liu Guoning about where babies come from. So, in his mind, this accidental kiss could only mean one thing: Guobao was going to get pregnant. He started panicking. He began watching her for any signs of pregnancy. But he got confused because Guobao was still her usual happy self, not like Tingting, who was always lying down when she was pregnant.
The Fallout
Liu Xiangshang and Dai Jing finally caught Guobao with her phone late at night. They teamed up, gave her a lecture, and confiscated the phone. Desperate to get it back, Guobao came up with a plan. She asked Ma Ziheng to help her act out a little scene to trick her parents. Ziheng agreed immediately. His father had told him he needs to be "responsible" for girls. He thinks helping Guobao is his way of taking responsibility for the kiss.
