At a cold meeting, a man confronts Rong Yanyun about rumors that she's liked him for fifteen years. She answers precisely: "5,597 days," and admits she's been watching from afar, waiting for a miracle so he'd notice and choose her. Pressured by her confession, the man interrupts the longing and offers a practical solution: "Let's have a genuine, marriage-first-then-love relationship." The proposal shifts the episode from secret yearning to an immediate choice. The episode ends with Rong Yanyun facing that decision—whether to accept the proposed marriage-first arrangement or keep waiting.
