A Terrible Choice
This one starts grim. Nuan Nuan gets a very high fever. Her new adoptive parents are worried about money. So they wait two whole days before taking her to a hospital. The doctors manage to save her life. But the fever lasted too long. It caused brain damage.
The doctor gives them the bad news. Nuan Nuan will likely have disabilities as she grows up. The adoptive parents argue. They don't have the money for her long-term care. They make a decision. They abandon her at the hospital. They just leave her there. Before they go, they pin a note with Yu Leshan's contact information on her clothes. The police find it and call Yu Leshan. They tell him his baby was abandoned. He immediately rushes to the hospital.
Sheng Xuezhu Steps Up
A Major Sacrifice
Sheng Xuezhu is on her way to her college entrance exams. This is the test that decides her entire future. She makes a quick stop at the hospital to bring a colleague some food. That's when she sees Nuan Nuan. The baby is alone and her fever is spiking again.
Sheng Xuezhu doesn't hesitate. She stays with Nuan Nuan. She misses the last two sections of her exam. She basically throws away her shot at college to care for this baby. She is furious with Yu Leshan. She thinks he's the one who gave Nuan Nuan away behind her back. Later, her friend Wang Xiao finds her. He can't believe she gave up her exam.
The Hospital Confrontation
Sheng Xuezhu talks to the doctor. She learns Nuan Nuan now has epilepsy because of the fever. She vows to do whatever it takes to get her treated.
Just then, Yu Leshan runs into the hospital. Wang Xiao immediately gets in his face. But Yu Leshan only cares about Nuan Nuan's condition. Sheng Xuezhu has had enough. She screams at him for giving the baby away. She tells him to get out. Cornered, Yu Leshan blurts out the truth. Nuan Nuan is not his child. Sheng Xuezhu doesn't believe him. Wang Xiao tries to punch him. Yu Leshan leaves, but he isn't finished. He finds the adoptive father and beats him up for what he did.
The Coward and The Schemer
Qiao Zhengjun's Pathetic Excuses
Yu Leshan goes straight to the source of the problem. He finds Qiao Zhengjun. He tells him everything. Nuan Nuan was abandoned. She has epilepsy. Qiao Zhengjun just complains about his own problems. He says his old legal case isn't officially closed. He worries that if he takes the baby now, he'll be sent back to jail for "hooliganism." Then he starts to cry.
Yu Leshan feels a little bad, but he's not letting it go. He reminds him that Sheng Xuezhu thinks the baby is his. She even gave up her exams for Nuan Nuan. Qiao Zhengjun feels guilty and tries to give Yu Leshan money to make it go away. Yu Leshan refuses. He tells him to just be a man and explain the truth to Sheng Xuezhu. Qiao Zhengjun wants to wait. He gets on his knees and begs Yu Leshan to keep his secret. Finally, Yu Leshan gives in. He agrees to stop pushing and says he's done with the whole situation.
A Convenient Engagement
While all this is happening, Qiao Zhengjun's life is moving in a very different direction. His mother, Zhao Xianzhi, is pushing him to get closer to Liu Tianyao's family. Liu Tianyao's father, Liu Dasheng, is a powerful man. After a very awkward movie date, the families decide to arrange a marriage.
Liu Dasheng even admits to Qiao Zhengjun that his daughter isn't good enough for him. But Qiao Zhengjun plays along. He needs the connection. The deal is sealed when they learn Liu Dasheng has been promoted. Qiao Zhengjun's mother is ecstatic. Her son is now engaged to the daughter of a very influential official.
New Alliances and Old Promises
Sheng Xuezhu makes a huge decision. She is going to adopt Nuan Nuan herself. Wang Xiao is worried about her, but he supports her. He even offers to give up college to help her raise the baby. She tells him not to be ridiculous. They agree he will help her until he gets his college acceptance letters.
The episode ends with Yu Leshan. He goes to Qu Fangfei's grave. He tells her everything that happened. He tells her that Qiao Zhengjun refuses to be a father. He tells her that Sheng Xuezhu is adopting Nuan Nuan. Then he makes a promise. He will not abandon this child.
