The kiss leaves Sheng and Tian feeling uncomfortable. The next morning, Sheng develops cold and fever. He goes downstairs to eat breakfast but sees Aunt Jiang preparing his favorite food. Her hands gets burnt in the process and watching Tian care for her makes Sheng remember his mother. He rejects Aunt Jiang’s food and her role as his mother. This makes Tian angry and when he confronts him, Sheng responds that he should stop trying to obligate himself to be his brother.
At school, Tian tries to give Sheng tissues for his cold but holds back when another girl does so. Sheng is praised by the English teacher for doing well in her test. Although, she doesn’t reveal that Sheng had actually scored a perfect hundred in his test so as not to make him an outcast, still the students all find out and actually congratulate him. However, the competitive Qi Jiahao doesn’t like this.
Later everyone except Tian visits a restaurant owned by a certain Brother Xi who immediately recognises Sheng as a friend of Tian. He is the son of the man who Sheng ate at his restaurant. Everyone begins to think that Sheng and Tian are close. As the episode progresses, Sheng mistakenly ends up drinking alcohol which causes him to be drunk. Everyone leaves but Tian arrives to take him home.
To Sheng’s surprise, Tian gives him medicine for his fever before taking him home where Aunt Jiang worriedly waits for them. She is surprised that Sheng drank alcohol. He tells her to give him honey and lemon water but still rejects it from her. Aunt Jiang can tell that Sheng acts cold because of the memories of his mother. She asks Tian to take care of him.
Sheng is surprised when Tian finally accepts his friend request and texts that he will be coming to his room. Tian gives him the lemon water he rejected, listening as Sheng pours out his pain of losing his mother and getting used to the distance from his father. After he drinks, Tian suggests that they should try getting closer. In a voiceover, Sheng narrates that after that moment, his world turned upside down.
Sheng and Tian slowly get closer although Sheng is awkward about it at first. They even begin studying together with Tian pointing out the key things Sheng should know to speed up his knowledge.
Somehow, they join in rescuing a dumb staff from a bully student. The staff is injured and they along with Tian Yang bring him to his house which turns out to be Tian and Tianyang’s old neighborhood. Tian is close to an old man called Mr Ding. But Mr Ding still harbors resentment against Tian Yang for breaking his roof when he was little so he chases him away with a broom. Mr Ding treats Mr Dumb, Tian and Sheng to a meal. Tian smiles in amusement at Sheng who tries to hide his pickiness towards food.
Unfortunately, Sheng, Tian and the bully are punished by principal Xu for fighting. They are forced to sweep up leaves in front of the school. However, this incident seems to be orchestrated by Qi Jiahao who sees them as a stumbling block to achieving the gifted model student of the Year. However, Sheng and Tian share a tender moment when Sheng tries getting rid of the leaves flying around his face. Sheng is moved when Tian tells him to focus more on the present than the past.
Principal Xu is forced to take down the punishment for Sheng and Tian thanks to their English teacher Miss Jing who needs them for an upcoming competition. The principal allows Sheng to stop as long as he and Tian gets a price during the competition and Sheng increases his ranking by 50%
Feeling unfair, Sheng makes Tian study with him at all times. However, one day, he gets upset noticing that Tian hasn’t unpacked his bags yet and Tian replies it’s a habit of his. Just then, Sheng hears his father who had just returned from a work trip call out to him. Impulsively, he switches off the lights and pulls Tian into the closet with him. Tian is confused by his behavior and Sheng explains he doesn’t want to meet his Dad who asks him too many questions and annoys him all the time.
The next morning at school, Sheng is lured into getting beaten up by two men but he stands his ground and fights back. The episode ends.
