Spoiler Alert
Mom is on the Warpath
Things are getting tense at the Feng household. Feng Rui’s mother hears Lele mention a book. He says Tan Siting dropped it off for him. This sets off immediate alarm bells for her. She does not like this one bit.
She decides to take control. She pushes forward the wedding plans for Feng Rui and Wen Peiyan. She even picks the date herself without asking anyone. She tells Feng Rui to go pick a venue the very next day. Feng Rui feels the pressure. It is moving way too fast for him. He uses work as a shield. He claims he is too busy to look at venues right now.
The Story Behind the Wine
Two wine experts drop by the winery. They are interested in a specific red wine called "Signe." This is French for "Swan." They ask Feng Rui for the story behind the name.
Feng Rui opens up. He admits the winery exists because of his first love. Their connection started with ballet shoes. He tells a story about a trip they took to Tibet. The altitude was high. At first, they were fine. Then Siting started gasping for air. She had severe altitude sickness. The guide acted fast. He used a paper bag to help her regulate her breathing.
Feng Rui was terrified. He was sick too. His lips were turning purple. He ignored his own condition. He only cared about her. They stayed in adjacent rooms that night. He felt like they were clinging to each other for survival. He checked on her constantly. He only slept after she said she felt better.
A Flower and a Heartbreak
The next morning was different. Feng Rui woke up to the sound of laughter. He looked out the window. Siting was sharing her art supplies with local children. She taught them how to draw. The sky was blue. The clouds floated lazily. The air was fresh.
Feng Rui walked into the field. He picked a gentle white flower for her. Siting told him the flower was called "Velvet." She said it meant meeting love around the corner. Feng Rui took his shot. He confessed his feelings to her that day. He thought their love would last forever.
This memory hurts him now. He recalls how she disappeared later. He heard she went abroad for ballet. He still believes she left him without a goodbye. He is completely in the dark about the real reasons.
Siting’s Regret
Siting has her own struggles. She watches a colleague video chat with a child. She sees other people with families. It makes her feel empty. She wonders about Lele. She questions if he is actually her child.
She spent years abroad focused only on her career. She ignored her personal life. She is back now for two reasons. She wants to find ballet talent. She also wants to find her long-lost father.
Drama at the Dance School
Trouble brews at the training class. A student named Yufan sprains her ankle. Other students mention she hurt that same spot recently. The doctor is harsh. He says they are overtraining. He warns that she needs surgery if she does not rest.
Siting steps in. She advises the student to stop and recover. Another teacher disagrees. The finals are coming up. The teachers need good results to prove the school's worth. Siting fights with this teacher. The pressure becomes too much for the student. Yufan decides to quit the competition entirely.
