Tang Yu asks about the first time they met, and Tang Xin recalls helping him pursue Ming Zhu during their time at the studio. However, Tang Xin corrects herself, realizing it was four years ago at the Time Film Industry Hall. Tang Xin had blocked their way, smiling slightly at him. Tang Yu is surprised that Tang Xin remembers so clearly. Tang Yu apologizes to Tang Xin, having just read her Weibo alternate account and regretting questioning her feelings. He acknowledges his mistake and shouldn’t have hastily rejected her confession.

Feeling Tang Yu’s love, Tang Xin turns around, tears welling up, admitting that she just likes Tang Yu too much. She couldn’t be sure of Tang Yu’s sincerity, so she had been testing him. Tang Yu hugs Tang Xin from behind, swearing to cherish her and their relationship.

Tang Yu then calls Huo Chendong into the office, praising his clever strategy of fighting with a retreat, which had achieved certain results. Tang Xin’s mother calls, asking about Tang Xin’s birthday celebration. Tang Xin suggests a simple gathering, but her mother insists on making it grand and plans to fly over for the celebration. Tang Xin discourages her mother from coming due to her busy schedule and promises to host a proper birthday party.

Tang Xin sends invitations to close friends, especially Tang Yu, with high expectations. On her birthday, friends bring gifts, and everyone enjoys the party with laughter. However, Tang Yu is missing, causing Tang Xin to be anxious. She receives a birthday red envelope from Tang Yu when taking out the trash, but what she eagerly anticipates is his physical presence.

Finally, Tang Yu and Huo Chendong rush back from the film festival but have only an hour. In the car, Tang Yu prepares a cake and candles. Tang Xin makes a wish, bringing their relationship even closer. The next day, Tang Dingding scolds Tang Yu for not confessing to Tang Xin, and Tang Yu seeks advice from Huo Chendong on the right time for confession. Huo Chendong suggests he act immediately; it’s not too late to confess now.
