After clearing up the misunderstanding, they have lunch together with the team. She tells them that she is a graduate student as well as an online singer. Checks reveal that she has more than a million fan base online which leaves the youngsters impressed. However, Han appears indifferent and requests for a driver to send Tong Nian back to her hotel.

Han Shang Yan brings him back to his house with Wu Bai. He thinks it will be good to have someone who can distract and make his grandfather happy. During dinner, when Demo offers Han a chicken drumstick, he turns moody and retreats to his room. The drumstick reminds him of the past when he was starting out with Solo, Ai Qing, Shao Fei, and Ou Qiang in the gaming field. It was a struggle then as they had little money and experience. They started out in Beijing and eventually moved to Shanghai. Han Shang Yan used his education trust fund set up by his late father to help with the team’s expenses. A knock on the door wakes Han Shang Yan up from his reverie.

Han Shang Yan fights them off and then Shao Fei arrives asking him to calm down. There is still a lot of anger in Han towards things that happened in the past. Ai Qing had actually prepared a birthday cake for Han Shang Yan earlier. So, Shao Fei offers to bring it to Han Shang Yan. Han Shang Yan asks Shao Fei why he chooses to join SP instead of his team to which Shao Fei replies that it was where he started and he only knows Solo as team captain. Shao Fei also advises Han Shang Yan that he cannot be blaming Solo and Ai Qing forever for a mistake done in the past. In the competition, both SP and K&K are there to represent China. Shao Fei lost in the first round and Han Shang Yan offered some comforting words. Before the final, Ai Qing seeks out Wu Bai to encourage him. Wu Bai has always admired and liked Ai Qing since his days in high school. He hopes to win the tournament not only for the country but also for Ai Qing to personally witness his achievement.
