Meanwhile, Xiao You sits by the roadside and cries bitterly. Xi Men passes by in his car and stops to see how she is. He brings her to his house. 

At Xi Men’s place, Xiao You tells him that she saw Zhong Ze with another girl. She also relates to Xi Men what Zhong Ze said about her (boring etc). She is upset that Zhong Ze even pretended not to know her. Xi Men is disgusted that Zhong Ze could treat such a cute girl like that. Xiao You reveals that this is her first relationship and feels that she is totally incomparable to the pretty girls who are always around Zhong Ze. However, Xi Men comforts her by saying that it is not worth feeling bad because of such a worthless guy. He encourages her to have more confidence in herself and tells her that a more confident girl would definitely be more attractive. He offers her a cup of black coffee. Xiao You wonders why he drinks coffee without sugar. He compares drinking black coffee to having a relationship. It is bitter but after a relationship, one will come out more mature and confident. After the coffee, Xi Men decides to take Xiao You to find Zhong Ze. She is reluctant to see Zhong Ze. However, Xi Men insists and drags Xiao You. 

In the meantime, Shan Cai is worried when she cannot find Xiao You. She recalls what Zhong Ze had said about Ah Si and realizes that she has wrongly accused Ah Si. She calls him, intending to apologize but only manages to tell him that Xiao You had disappeared. Without hesitation, Ah Si goes to pick her up. 

When Ah Si arrives, he tells Shan Cai that Xiao You is with Xi Men and assures her that everything will be all right. She asks Ah Si if he knew a long time ago that Zhong Ze was a flirt and reveals that she punched Zhong Ze. She apologizes to Ah Si for wrongly accusing him. Shan Cai also insists on knowing why Xi Men is with Xiao You. She thinks that Xi Men, being a playboy, may take advantage of Xiao You. However, Ah Si assures her that Xi Men will not be interested in a person like Xiao You. After all, Xi Men is always surrounded by models and beautiful girls. Shan Cai is doubtful. Ah Si tells her that she should be more concern with her own relationship with him rather than always poking into other people’s business. Shan Cai jokes that their relationship is like a time bomb that will explode into nothingness anytime. Ah Si is hurt. He thinks that everything has gone wrong right from the beginning and is worried that everything will be over soon. Shan Cai rushes forward and gives him a hug.

Xi Men and Xiao You enters the pub that Zhong Ze frequents. Xiao You is afraid of seeing Zhong Ze and is reluctant about confronting him. Xi Men reminds Xiao You how Zhong Ze had treated her and tells her that she should not let him off so easily. She admits that she cannot take it lying down. She cannot believe that she had actually given her love to such a despicable person. Xi Men tells her that she must teach Zhong Ze a lesson so as to put her mind at rest. 

The two of them sees Zhong Ze flirting with a girl. Xi Men drags Xiao You there. Midway, 2 girls stop them and invite Xi Men to sit with them. Xi Men agrees but tells them he has something to settle first. Zhong Ze’s girl, Mei Jia, also spots Xi Men and tells Zhong Ze that he is extremely famous in the pub. She thinks that Xi Men is extremely good-looking and rich and knows that every girl in the pub likes him. Xi Men approaches the couple and comments that Mei Jia is very pretty. He asks if Zhong Ze is her boyfriend and Mei Jia denies it. Xi Men then comments that he didn’t think they were a couple either as he felt that Zhong Ze is not at all worthy of Mei Jia. Zhong Ze glares at him and demands to know what he meant by that. Xi Men also asks Mei Jia who she would choose if she had to choose between him and Zhong Ze. Mei Jia immediately replies that she would choose Xi Men without a doubt. Zhong Ze is disgusted and tries to pull Mei Jia away but she refuses to follow him. She asks him to look for his ex-girlfriend (Xiao You) if he wants to. Xi Men expresses his disbelief that Zhong Ze could even have a girlfriend. Zhong Ze walks up to him and almost punches Xi Men. However, he keeps his cool and tells Mei Jia that he could always go look for Xiao You. Xi Men then tells Mei Jia that he cannot accept her as a girlfriend as he already has someone he loves. Xiao You comes into the light and stands beside Xi Men, who puts his arms around her. Zhong Ze is shocked. Xi Men asks Xiao You if she knows Zhong Ze. She uses the same words that Zhong Ze had used, and tells Xi Men that she does not know him although she does find him sort of familiar. 

Zhong Ze realizes that they are there to get back at him and attempts to punch Xi Men. However, Xi Men manages to grab him and pins him against the wall. He warns Zhong Ze not to make Xiao You cry again and kicks him in the chest. With that, Xi Men takes Xiao You out of the pub and is happy to know that she feels much better.  

The next night, Xi Men visits Xiao You at the cake shop to see if she is all right. She reveals that she is completely over Zhong Ze and feels bad that she made everyone worried about her. She is also guilty that she had caused a misunderstanding between Ah Si and Shan Cai and wonders if the two have made up. The two of them discuss about the 2-months deal that Shan Cai and Ah Si have. Xi Men tells Xiao You that they are all worried about the relationship especially since Shan Cai and Ah Si do not seem to know how to have a proper date. Suddenly, Xi Men comes up with an idea and asks Xiao You on a date. 

***** 

The next morning, Ah Si, Mei Zuo and Lei are having a chat in the mansion when Shan Cai rushes in looking for Xi Men. Apparently, Shan Cai knows about THE date and is worried that Xi Men will take advantage of Xiao You. She tells Ah Si that he must help her stop Xi Men. Ah Si is at a loss as to what to do. Mei Zuo tells Shan Cai that although they are F4, each one of them is entitled to their own freedom. Ah Si decides that although he cannot stop Xi Men from dating Xiao You, he will have people following them so as to keep Xiao You safe. 

Xiao You and Xi Men meet for their date at a café. Apparently, the two are dating so as to show Shan Cai and Ah Si how to date. Xiao You wonders how they are going to see her together with Xi Men. He reveals that he has cleverly let slip the fact they are dating and considering Shan Cai’s character, she is sure to find a way to know where they are. Xi Men makes Xiao You call Shan Cai in order to make Shan Cai more anxious. He teaches Xiao You what to say.  

Reading off from a notebook, Xiao You calls Shan Cai and tries to assure a frantic Shan Cai that Xi Men is a good person. She also tells Shan Cai to give her a chance to have a good date with Xi Men. Although she just had a failed relationship, it does not mean that she will not meet a good man. She hopes that Shan Cai will not be so prejudice about Xi Men as she believes that beneath the playboy exterior, Xi Men is really a very good guy. She warns Shan Cai not to come and disturb them. She even tells Shan Cai that if anything were to happen, she would definitely had been a willing party. She assures Shan Cai that she will take responsibility for her actions and tells her not to worry. 

After Xiao You hangs up, Shan Cai is even more worried (as Xi Men expected). She keeps asking Ah Si if he had send someone to follow them. Ah Si’s relaxed attitude makes Shan Cai more nervous. 

In the meantime, Xiao You and Xi Men are shopping happily. He notices that someone is following them and starts buying many things for Xiao You. During dinner, Xiao You reveals to Xi Men that she feels that the status gap between Ah Si and Shan Cai is really very wide and wonders if they will have a lot of problems if they keep insisting on being together. Xi Men reassures Xiao You that although Ah Si may be violent, bad-tempered and does not really know how to show his concern for Shan Cai, he really does love Shan Cai very much. Xi Men is confident that Ah Si will treasure Shan Cai. Xiao You asks him if he will also treasure the person he loves. He reveals that he is a good man, but he is not a good person. To him, every girl “expires” in a week. 

***** 

Back at the mansion, Shan Cai and Ah Si are having dinner. The “follower” reports to Ah Si that Xi Men and Xiao You are having a romantic dinner. When Shan Cai hears that they are drinking wine, she thinks that Xi Men is trying to make Xiao You drunk. She snatches the phone from Ah Si and yells to the “follower” to keep close watch on the couple. After hanging up the phone, Shan Cai keeps muttering to herself, scolding Xi Men and such. In the meantime, Ah Si feeds Shan Cai. She is surprised that it tastes so good. Ah Si tells her to eat more and stop bothering about other people’s business for a while. He comments that she is too thin. When he hugged her that night while they were watching the meteor rain, he had felt that she was too thin. He wants her to eat healthily and heartily especially when they are dating. Seeing her so thin breaks his heart. Shan Cai is touched that he cares so much for her. She feels guilty that she has not showered much concern on him. 

***** 

Shan Cai receives news that Xi Men and Xiao You had checked into a hotel, room 601. She rushes over to the hotel and insists on checking into room 602. Once in the room, she tries to see if she can hear anything through the walls. Ah Si argues that this is a high-class hotel, not some cheap motel and thus it is impossible to hear anything through the wall. Since Xiao You had specially warned Shan Cai against disturbing them, Shan Cai is at a loss as to what to do. She asks Ah Si what Xi Men would do to Xiao You. He reveals that Xi Men would probably use flowers and champagne to charm the girl.
