When he arrived at the hotel, it was the time for Mu Xiangwan's class to finish. Since he wanted to surprise her and see her reaction, he didn't make a call ahead.
After class, Mu Xiangwan wasn't in a hurry to leave. She didn't fully comprehend some of the challenges discussed by the teacher that day.

Peng Yihui admitted that his feelings for her were different. He knew she had a boyfriend, and even heard that though they hadn't been together for long, they'd been through a lot, even nearly losing their lives abroad.
