Liu Li is on a call with his aunt and promises to realize his plans for introducing Gu Jing to his parents. Meanwhile, Gu Jing sleeps peacefully on their bed after staying up too late the night before, making Liu Li wonder what the former has been up to lately. He has also noticed that Gu Jing seems to have been busy with work the last few days. When Gu Jing wakes up to Liu Li, who is talking out loud about how he will introduce the former to his parents, the latter promises that they will work through it together and even jokes about letting Liu Li’s parents break his legs. He continues that it is now his turn to prove his worth, just like how Liu Li also faced his parents some time ago. Liu Li finds comfort in Gu Jing’s words, and his mood lightens up. He then mentions that he will be meeting Tsai that afternoon, and in return, Gu Jing tells him that he will be on a business trip to Japan the same month, which might take two weeks. Liu Li is surprised to learn about the trip just now when it will be a long one, but Gu Jing explains that he has to oversee the exhibition’s advertisement. Thinking that they might miss each other, Liu Li offers to come along to Japan, but Gu Jing tells him that he has a message to send first before he steps out of the room for a while. Liu Li worries that the upcoming distance will only affect him, but Gu Jing returns and invites him to a quick camping trip to spend quality time together before he departs.
The two go to a popular camping site, but Liu Li remains reluctant because he isn’t an outdoor person and expects Gu Jing to know that. However, Gu Jing explains that he is aware that Liu Li is having a struggle with his new book, where the main character has experience camping and figures that the trip will help him overcome his writer’s block. Seeing that Liu Li still feels sad about his upcoming trip and how busy they have been lately, Gu Jing promises to return as quickly as he can. Liu Li appreciates Gu Jing’s concern and begins to feel better about their camping trip until he falls asleep in his chair. Gu Jing tells the sleeping Liu Li that he wants to make money as soon as possible so that he can start working less. He also wants to prove to Liu Li’s parents that he can give him a good life. Liu Li pretends to be asleep but finally opens his eyes when Gu Jing starts taking photos of them together. Later that day, the two head to the nearby pond, where Gu Jing promises to catch a fish on his own. Liu Li makes Gu Jing catch fish with his bare hands, and the two end up having a good time despite the simplicity of their activity.
