She only hopes that her boyfriend Ke Ping can get an ideal job title. To this end, they agree to meet every two weeks. Later, Shengxia also started to study by himself, but he was criticized for reading English during working hours and lost confidence. "Little Pepper" is a good and outspoken girl. After she fell out of love, she worked hard to study on her own. This touched Shengxia, and she began to review her homework again and prepare to take the college entrance examination. She followed the example of her friend Qin Yuan in the same dormitory and used all her spare time to study hard. On the eve of the college entrance examination, Shengxia found out that she was pregnant. She wanted not to have children so as not to miss the chance to go to college. But Ke Ping didn't understand her and advocated getting married as soon as possible in order to save the child. Shengxia did not listen to him and had an abortion, but due to the interference of this incident, she failed to pass the exam. Just when she was in pain and trouble, Ke Ping left her again. Shengxia withstood a series of setbacks with amazing perseverance and insisted on taking the arduous road of amateur self-study. "Little Pepper" is learning to practice writing poetry; the fat girl is also learning foreign languages ??under the influence of her self-taught boyfriend Wei Xuejin; Qin Yuan has been admitted to the ideal university. Shengxia found her happiness through her persistence in self-study.

In Xiangshan, they met Ke Ping unexpectedly in midsummer. "Little Pepper" saw Ke Ping with a wife who was a bit fashionable and tacky. Thinking about his selfishness in his career and love, "Little Pepper" asked her. He cast a contemptuous glance. Shengxia had mixed feelings the moment she passed by Ke Ping.
