She is sad he is not at Naiyi’s graduation. Nailiang idolises Xu Ruoqi, a dancer. When she picks him for an audition, he is elated.
Naiping comes across a maid while she is being abused. Annoyed by the arrogance of the employer, he gets into a brawl with him. They settle their dispute at a police station. Caught up with her job as an insurance agent, Huimin pays no attention to Naiping’s injuries. She reminds him to tell Zhaodi about their divorce as soon as possible.

Naiyi wonders why he is indifferent to Meidai’s red nails. Nailiang is sure it must be because he has fallen for her. He suggests Naiyi should think about Meidai whenever he sees red nails. Naiyi follows his brother’s suggestion and is overjoyed to realise he has overcome his fear.
Plagued by fainting spells, Nailiang goes for a medical checkup. He is diagnosed with Meniere’s , and is advised to give up ballet. He is certain his illness was sparked by Meidai knocking him onto the ground and thus bears a resentment against her.

However, he lies to his troupe members that he is going to join a Germany dance troupe overseas.

The next morning, Meidai tries to persuade Naiyi to give up the job, as men do not understand women’s underwear. He objects and promises to prove his worth. Meidai instructs Yilin to give Naiyi menial jobs so that he will resign of his own accord. Though Yilin pities him, she follows Meidai’s instructions.
Naiping makes his way back to his own home as in the past. Upon arrival, he remembers he no longer lives there. He sees a man inside and becomes infuriated at the thought that the man might be Huimin’s lover. He storms in, only to encounter Nailiang. Huimin has rented a room to Nailiang.
