Su Ni retreats in fear and leans against the railing, then forces out a smile and says, "you can breathe, too?" Gu Zechen does not speak. Su Ni pats her chest again and says: "just now I had a dream. In it I was accidentally bitten by a snake. It's terrible!" While speaking, she gets close to Gu Zechen, but the latter pushes her away with his hand, keeping a certain distance with her. He frowns and says, "I don't like the smell of smoke." Su Ni's smile freezes. When she is stressed, she will also smoke one or two cigarettes to refresh her mind. It seems that she never avoids Gu Zechen deliberately, but he does not know that. "Then I'll take another bath." Su Ni says.

Then, Su Ni passes by him, and her heart rate seems to have missed half a beat, and he is flustered. She takes a bath and comes out again, but there is no trace of Gu Zechen in the room. The next day Su Ni, who is dressed in casual clothes and carries a backpack, asks the chauffeur to take her hometown. After that, Su Ni takes a bus to the sanatorium in another district. It used to be a military retreat. The environment is quiet, and the security facilities are good, which reassures Su Ni slightly. She calls her sister Su Banqing, but she doesn’t get through, so she goes alone. On the hospital bed, her father lies with most of the machines removed and only necessary medical equipment left for life merely. Su Ni sits beside the bed and massages his father's arms. There seems to be no change on his face, which looks exactly alike three years ago.

"Dad, I've got Su Group back now. Don't worry. Su Group is fine now." "By the way, I'm going to send my little sister to study management in England. When she comes back, if she's interested, we can take care of the company together. Dad, do you think your two daughters are no worse than men? " Su Ni, as she used to do, talks to her father to make him happy. Unfortunately, no one answers her again. A drop of tear is flowing out of the corners of Su NI's eyes. She wipes it off quickly, as if she heard her father's voice. She says: "I don't cry, I don't cry, I won't cry, Dad, don't worry, I'm fine now." "Gu Zechen, you know, Dad, he is the South City’s most powerful man whom you used to praise. Now I'm married to him..." After a pause, Su Ni says, "I think if you can wake up, you will be happy."

The sun rises slowly, and a warm sunshine pours into the quiet ward. Su Ni changes to the side of the hospital bed and continues to massage his father's legs, which will slow down the muscle atrophy. The support worker advises Su Ni to take a rest, but Su Ni looks guilty. "I usually can't spare much time, and I can only make up for my filial piety as much as possible." The nurse sighs, "Miss Su, you are considerate. You are expecting your father's waking up early. It's good to have such a filial daughter. It is good for your father to open his eyes." Su Ni's nose gets sour, and she says thank you. She lowers her head, but her tears fall on the bed. "I haven't come for a long time." Then, the escort talks about the old man's recent situation. "I heard that there are some latest technologies in the Unites States. Recently, there are some cases in which some patients can stand up, Miss Su, you can have a look." Su Ni nods.

Every year, much news about such technologies will come out. Although many of them are only on the retest stage, Su Ni is still reluctant to give up any useful information. As for Su Banqing, she can't get in touch with. Even if she met her deliberately in the sanatorium, Su Banqing didn’t have a word for her, and wished to leave quickly. Su Ni knows that Su Banqing still hasn't forgiven her. Three years ago, Su Banqing blamed her father's illness on the wrong person she loved, which led to the tragedy of her family. For this reason, she went to the mental hospital and tried her best to escape all this. But what should come will come after all, and she must take back what belongs to her. If it is her fault, she will get no one involved in her case.

Su Ni drops her hand powerlessly. After all, the number hasn't been dialed out. It's said that she's busy preparing to go to study in UK recently. It's not a bad thing for her. Feeling lonely, Su Ni leaves the sanatorium. She doesn’t pay attention to her mobile phone all the time. As soon as she gets home, she finds that Gu Zechen has made a phone call. When Su Ni sees it was half an hour ago that he called, she can't help worrying. Gu Zechen never calls her. She calls back, and Gu Zechen says nothing but “okay”. After that, she asks where she has gone and Su Ni lies that she is just going around in the street. Gu Zechen has no doubt about it and hangs up the phone directly. When Su Ni is back home, An Rong looks surprised. "Aren't you going on tour?" Su Ni is stunned. "Yesterday Ze Chen refused, saying that he has something to deal with in the company." "But this morning, Ze Chen suddenly asked me for a tour ticket. I think I am going with you." An Rong is full of regret. Su Ni holds the mobile phone, a little annoyed. "He did call me, but I didn’t look at the mobile phone at that time..."

"EH." Even An Rong cannot help sighing. "I go to the company to find him." As soon as Su Ni arrives at the door, she turns around and walks out before entering. When An Rong sees this, she shakes her head again. On the way to Gu's house, Su Ni calls again and asks about the tour ticket. Gu Zechen doesn’t deny it, saying softly, "I'm not going to go, either." “I don’t plan to go. How can he call her!” Su Ni becomes more and more uneasy. "Why don't we have a lunch together at noon, which you can take it as my compensation?" "I've already had it." Gu Zechen doesn't give her face at all. Su Ni is biting her lip, and there is no way. When she arrives downstairs at the company, this time no one stops her, and everyone politely calls Mrs. Gu, busily pressing the elevator for her respectfully. Su Ni looks around and doesn’t find the receptionist. It seems that she is really fired.

Gu Zechen is not surprised to see Su Ni. He looks up, then continues his work. Su Ni's eyes are sharp, and he finds two tour tickets in the trash can, and a paper cup with a woman's lipstick on it. Inexplicably, in Su Ni’s mind pops up the gorgeous and pure face she met downstairs. Su Ni, with a smiling face, sits down quietly opposite Gu Zechen and asks, "are you still busy this weekend?" "Not at all." Su Ni says, "Oh, I thought it is an important customer. You need to come here in person." Gu Zechen probably dislikes her talkativeness, reminding her to be quiet with his impatient eyes. Su Ni sips her lips and her eyes continue to search for suspicious traces. Unfortunately, there is nothing else. Su Ni is disappointed. "Just downstairs, I met a woman who looks familiar..." "What do you want to say?" Pata, Gu Zechen closes the document and stares at Su Ni impatiently.
