A Trip Down Memory Lane
Old Haunts and New Leads
Tan Siting heads back to her childhood home. The place looks exactly the same. The furniture sits in the same spots. She finds the old height chart on the wall where her father used to track her growth. It hits her hard. She wonders how he has been all these years. She really hopes this trip gives her some answers.
The Principal Spills the Beans
Feng Rui handles his business with Wen Peiyan. He tries to call Siting immediately. He wants to ask about her sudden disappearance years ago. She doesn't pick up. He calls again. Still nothing. He gets worried and heads to her workplace.
He finds out she took a long leave of absence. She went to find her father. The school principal knows Feng Rui. He gives up the details on Siting's train and destination. The principal also knows their history. He gives Feng Rui a serious talk. Siting has been on her own for thirteen years. It hasn't been easy. The principal tells him to protect her.
Chasing the Train
Feng Rui takes the advice to heart. He admits there were misunderstandings in the past. But he is sure about his feelings now. He promises to take care of her. He books a ticket on the exact same train.
Siting is shocked to see him on board. Feng Rui plays it cool. He says he is just fulfilling his duty as a friend. He reminds her that he saw her father in the winery photos. Having him around will make the search easier.
Before he leaves town, Feng Rui calls his mother, Gao Hui. He is vague. He says he has business out of town. He doesn't say where. He just asks her to watch Lele. Gao Hui isn't stupid. She senses something is off. She calls Wen Peiyan. No answer. Now she is really suspicious.
Déjà Vu in Sichuan
They arrive in Aba County, Sichuan. This place is full of memories. They came here together thirteen years ago when they were dating. Siting had altitude sickness back then. Feng Rui watches her like a hawk. She wanders off alone. He follows her instantly.
Siting walks through the crowded street. She is anxious. She spots a man who looks just like her father. She runs over. It isn't him. The disappointment and the running trigger her altitude sickness. She can't breathe.
Feng Rui is ready. He hands her a paper bag. It is the exact same move he pulled thirteen years ago. She breathes into it and calms down. She looks at him with gratitude.
The Truth About the Wedding
Siting can't hold back. She asks why he isn't with his fiancée. He should be preparing for the wedding. Feng Rui keeps it simple. He tells her they broke up. He wants to face his true feelings. He doesn't want to lie to anyone anymore.
The End of the Road
They start hunting for clues. They find people at the winery who knew her dad. The news isn't good. Her father finished his work and left a month ago. The trail is cold.
Feng Rui doesn't give up. He calls local friends. They drive for hours. They ask everyone they see. The car drives deep into nowhere. Siting loses hope. They reach a dead end in an uninhabited area. The guide warns them about wild beasts at night. Siting breaks down. She says she wants to go back.
Feng Rui watches her. This is the second time he has helped her chase her father. He sees her standing there. She looks just like the stubborn, sad girl from thirteen years ago.
