His childhood sweetheart, Xiao Qiuyu, tries to persuade him, but he lashes out with hurtful words due to his inferiority complex.

Chu Fan suddenly rushes in with a panicked expression, claiming his beloved Xiao Qiu Yu is in danger and dragging Li Er Pang to "grab some weapons" to rescue her. Li Er Pang finds this hard to believe, as Xiao Qiu Yu's father had once nearly broken Chu Fan's leg for opposing them. However, Chu Fan is resolute and inwardly vows that having been reborn, he will not allow Xiao Qiu Yu to be harmed again. The two then rush to the scene of the incident.

On a country road, Xiao Qiuyu encounters and greets Chu Fan's mother. Unexpectedly, the village bully Sanshui and his accomplices appear, blocking Xiao Qiuyu's path. Sanshui verbally harasses Xiao Qiuyu, boasting that only he is worthy of her.

After the conflict, the story shifts to the emotional crisis between Chu Fan and his girlfriend, Xiao Qiu Yu.
