A Sweet Blast from the Past
We start with a look back at the good old days. Feng Rui clearly had it bad for Tan Siting. He couldn't suppress a smile whenever he saw her. Ballet practice was torture in the best way. His heart pounded every time she taught him a move. He was the perfect gentleman too. He walked her back to her dorm after class. He noticed her throat hurt one day. He bought cold medicine and delivered it personally. Tan Siting was genuinely touched by all of it.
Morning Chaos
Jump forward ten years. Feng Rui is in full single-dad mode. Mornings with his son, Lele, are a disaster. They rush around the house. Feng Rui tries to cook breakfast while hunting for a band-aid. He is failing at both. Thankfully, Wen Peiyan shows up. She saves the morning. She gets breakfast on the table and gets them out the door. It is painfully obvious this house needs a mother figure.
The Ballet Test

Grandma Goes to War
Lele got in trouble yesterday for fighting. His grandma hears about it and goes straight to the school. She confronts the leadership. She is furious they gave Lele a "major demerit" without a real investigation. She points out that the school's security cameras have blind spots. That is their failure, not the child's. Grandma runs a company. She knows how to apply pressure. The school folds. They revoke Lele's punishment.
The Bully Strikes Again
The victory is short-lived. The bully sees Grandma leave the office. He starts picking on Lele again. He says Lele is a baby who needs his grandma to fight his battles. Then he crosses the line. He mocks Lele for not having a mother. Lele snaps. He pushes the boy. The school calls the parents in again.
Feng Rui doesn't just sit there this time. He goes to the scene of the fight. He looks at the blind spot in the surveillance coverage. He notices two dusty cars parked nearby. They look abandoned. He gets an idea. He contacts the car owners to see if they have dashcams.
The Fake Mom Plan

She goes to the school the next day to deliver lunch. She acts like Lele's mother. The classmates see her. They think she is beautiful. The jokes about Lele not having a mom stop immediately.
Justice is Served
Feng Rui's detective work pays off. He gets the dashcam footage. The video tells the whole story. Lele saw a classmate being bullied. He stepped in to help. The other kid shoved him first. The evidence is undeniable. The school clears Lele's name publicly. The bully gets the "major demerit" this time.
