Oct 27, 2022

Xiao Shangqi accidentally tore his clothes at the night market. He Xiaoran rejoiced at the misfortune and bought him a new one at the night market. The newly bought clothes were very similar to high school uniforms. He Xiaoran looked at Xiao Shangqi who seemed to be in high school, and his heart throbbed again. He Xiaoran was at a loss, and threw Xiao Shangqi at the night market by Sui Mingwei's phone and hurriedly left.

He Xiaoran confided his thoughts to Li Hui and admitted that he had no intentions of Xiao Shangqi, but Xiao Shangqi only thought that he was his only friend in Wu Su, and He Xiaoran could only blame himself for being too unpromising, but still fell in love with Xiao Shangqi. In view of Sui Mingwei's repeated loss of keys to trouble He Xiaoran, Xiao Shangqi arranged for the staff of the engineering department of Monsoon Hotel to install a combination lock on He Xiaoran.

Xiao Shangqi invited He Xiaoran to come to Monsoon Hotel to taste the new dishes. He Xiaoran said that he was not a professional and did not know whether his opinion was useful. He Xiaoran thanked Xiao Shangqi for the new lock he installed for himself, but still followed Sui Mingwei's suggestion and planned to transfer the cost to Xiao Shangqi.

The two were chatting when they saw someone in the staff dormitory send Morse code. The two of them played the Morse code when they were in college. After cracking it, they found that the meaning of the employee's expression was "good night, I love you". Xiao Shangqi wanted to take the opportunity to confess, but He Xiaoran suddenly remembered that this topic could be used as a love code in the city to start a program topic. He Xiaoran asked Xiao Shangqi to take him to find the person who sent the Morse code with the light. When they knocked on the room, they found a cute little boy living here. He used the light to express his love to his late father. The little boy was alone and didn't want to sleep now, so he invited He Xiaoran to play together. The two played games with the little boy. After the little boy's father came back, they found out that this person was actually the vice president of the hotel, and Xiao Shangqi knew that the vice president Li was a single father.

The elder of the "Everyone Helps Everyone" program group gathered everyone's ideas. He Xiaoran and others came up with ideas on how to make the program better. Sui Mingwei suggested that the program should be broadcast live in a short video, and everyone agreed. Xiao Shangqi also accidentally saw the short video live broadcast of He Xiaoran and Sui Mingwei's partner, seeing the two who cooperated tacitly, and seeing countless fans in the comment area knocking on their CP, all made him jealous.

Xiao Shangqi came to He Xiaoran and heard that she and Sui Mingwei were busy going to the live broadcast, so he simply went out with them. Sui Mingwei knew that Xiao Shangqi liked He Xiaoran, but he did not hide his love for He Xiaoran. The two agreed to chase people according to their abilities. For this reason, the behavior of the two can not help but be very naive. Xiao Shangqi doesn't want He Xiaoran to continue the live broadcast, but He Xiaoran knows that although many people are obsessed with CP, there are also many people who really like their shows and provide them with a lot of material and topics. So she doesn't care about the comments of netizens, but Xiao Shangqi does. He directly told He Xiaoran that he had already analyzed these users, and there were only a few people who left messages back and forth. Sui Mingwei admitted that he asked someone to help with the comments.

He Xiaoran was very disappointed to learn about this, and when she asked Sui Mingwei, she realized that their live broadcast had no attention at all, and she planned to stop the live broadcast. Someone in the radio and television company gossips about the relationship between He Xiaoran and Xiao Shangqi. Although He Xiaoran said that she doesn't care, Li Hui knows that He Xiaoran cares because she has been avoiding Xiao Shangqi on purpose. He Xiaoran cherishes her renewed friendship with Xiao Shangqi, so she doesn't know how to face Xiao Shangqi now.

Xiao Shangqi found Director Ma of Radio and Television and asked him to help solve the problem of rumors in the radio and television company. He told He Xiaoran that he hated rumors because they were not in a messy relationship, but because he liked her. It is a pity that the last confession was interrupted by the arrival of Sui Mingwei, which made He Xiaoran misunderstand Xiao Shangqi again, and planned to stop the loss in time and stop liking Xiao Shangqi.

Xiao Shangqi thought that his confession was heard, but He Xiaoran didn't respond, which made him anxious. To this end, he went online to find netizens for help, and also posted on the circle of friends to gain attention. Unfortunately, He Xiaoran misunderstood that he did this because he got rid of himself.
