Episode 18

After Lu Xingyan escorted Shen Xingruo back home, he chose to stay with her.He cared about her health and cooked the food himself to make sure she had delicious food at all times.Shen Xingruo couldn't help but shed tears as she stared at the message left by her father.She took out the diary given by her father, with a portrait of her drawn by her father on the cover. This diary was secretly hidden in her luggage by her father when she moved to Lu Xingyan.Although a corner of the book was accidentally damaged by a fire, thanks to the delayed appearance of the land star, it was saved from complete destruction.

Shen Xingruo never revealed her father's identity to Lu Xingyan - a well-known painter, which made her family life relatively comfortable.Her mother was a well-known pianist in the music world, but she gave up playing after marriage. All this created a happy family picture in Shen Xingruo's eyes.However, what she didn't realize was that the rift between her parents had quietly spread in the dark, but they never showed it in front of her.

The death of her mother was like the sky was falling and the earth was falling for Shen Xingruo, and her father's rapid closeness with her head teacher, Teacher Fang, was even more difficult for her to accept.She chose to move into Lu Xingyan's house, cut off contact with her father, refused to accept his financial assistance, and relied on working on her own to make ends meet.During an encounter in a convenience store, she said decisive words to her father. Looking back now, she feels guilty, especially when she realizes that it may be the last time they see each other.

Lu Xingyan conveyed Mr. Shen's last wish to Shen Xingruo and invited her to be the speaker at the farewell ceremony to relieve his regret.Shen Xingruo agreed, but as soon as he finished his speech at the ceremony, he unexpectedly saw his father appear.It turns out that this ceremony was carefully planned by Mr. Shen to fake his own death, just to find out what others would say after his death.He was moved by his daughter's affectionate confession, grateful to her for letting go of her resentment, and grateful to Lu Xingyan for her thoughtful arrangements.However, Shen Xingruo was deeply angry about this, thinking that Lu Xingyan and her father had teamed up to deceive her, and left angrily.

On the way, Shen Xingruo was stopped by his father, just as Teacher Fang appeared.It turned out that Teacher Fang took good care of Shen's father when he was seriously ill, but she didn't expect that he had another love while he was abroad.Teacher Fang lost her job and her marriage collapsed. She felt aggrieved and had a conflict with Mr. Shen's current girlfriend.Shen Xingruo didn't want to witness this scene and turned around to leave. Unfortunately, he was hit by a thrown microphone and fainted and was taken to the hospital.Fortunately, the injury was not serious. Lu Xingyan apologized to her, explaining that he only learned the truth on the morning of the ceremony. He wanted to tell Shen Xingruo, but was unable to do so due to improper timing.

Despite this, Shen Xingruo still cannot forgive her father, and she firmly believes that he is the culprit that caused her mother's death.
