In the poetry collection that Zhou Luo often reads, there is a line of small words that is gentle and heartbreaking: "You are sober, gentle, and spotless; although the road ahead is difficult, it is still the most beautiful scenery in this life." The person described between the lines is Nanya, so for The person he admires is Zhou Luo, who is willing to give up everything for the one he loves, and has become a difficult point for the police to break. Lin Fanglu listened to the tape repeatedly and followed the interrogation process. Lao Chen stared at Zhou Luo and gave him his last chance: what exactly happened on the day of the crime.
On the night of the millennium, Qingshui Town Square was bustling with activity. Everyone had their own thoughts, independence and intersection. Because Zhou Luo received a notice of grade reduction from Jinghua University, he became the envy of all the stars and a role model that everyone envied. Lin Guixiang and his wife laughed from ear to ear and were sincerely proud of their son.
On the other hand, Liu Xun's mother and son seemed relatively deserted, and Liu Xun's wife kept complaining, which made Liu Xun upset. Jiang Bingbing knew that Zhang Qingli liked Zhou Luo and tried to create as many opportunities for the two of them to be alone. However, she did not recommend that Zhang Qingli take the initiative to pierce this layer of paper. If the timing was not right, she might hurt her friend's feelings. Zhang Huashan also had high hopes for Zhou Luo, hoping that his daughter could go to Beijing like Zhou Luo and let the Zhang family shine in the future.
At this time, Lin Guixiang noticed that Nanya and Wanwan were standing in front of Hu Xiu, and she angered Hu Xiu with just a few words, causing her to curse. Nanya came to Lin Guixiang's stall to pay New Year greetings. She seemed to be in a good mood and was not affected by Hu Xiu. Lin Guixiang felt a little relieved. Chen Ling suddenly came over and called Nanya away, and Nanya left Wanwan in the care of Lin Guixiang.

Chen Jun and others found Nanya and Chen Ling standing by the river talking, worried that the two would have a conflict and get into trouble. Seeing this, Zhou Luo hurriedly ran down and stood not far away to observe. Fortunately, the emotions of both of them were very stable. Chen Ling told Nanya that Xu Yi had signed the divorce agreement and the roots of the debt were cancelled. No debts were owed to either party. . But Nanya expressed that she would rather Chen Ling hated her, because forgiveness is too cheap, and she would rather owe Chen Ling until the next century, at least giving her a chance to make up for the debt.
Now that the matter is over, at the beginning of the new year, Nanya hopes that both of them will have a new future. Chen Ling was moved when she heard this. When Nanya returned to Lin Guixiang's stall, Zhou Luo was already there, playing one of her favorite songs. The two sat down not far apart, looked at each other, and smiled in unison.
However, Xu Yi drove back from another place. As soon as he got off the car, he received a call from the Economic Investigation Brigade, informing him to come over for investigation tomorrow. Xu Yi's heart sank to the bottom and he walked numbly on the street, ignoring Jiang Zhi's flattery and Zhang Huashan's conversation. Jiang Zhi was a little annoyed at being ignored by Xu Yi. He made irresponsible remarks behind his back, and Chen Ling even made some moves, only to be scolded by Chen Ling.
Seeing Xu Yi's appearance, Zhou Luo felt unhappy, so he had to get up and leave first, standing on the balcony and watching his every move. Xu Yi said that his case was about to end and wanted to know if Nanya was willing to give him a chance. Nanya mentioned the divorce agreement again, which meant that the two could never go back to the past, and the marriage was broken and could not be restored.
Xu Yi didn't want to talk anymore, so he hugged Wan Wan and went to watch the lanterns. But halfway through, he seemed to think of something. He took out a photo of a family of three and gave it to Wan Wan, telling her to remember her father's appearance in the future. After saying these words, Xu Yi hugged Wan Wan and cried silently. After calming down, he picked up his smile and accompanied Wan Wan in the lively market.
However, Hu Xiu came up and criticized Nanya in front of Xu Yi, which made Xu Yi think of those photos and angrily ran to question Nanya for cuckolding him. During the quarrel, Xu Yi suddenly realized when he saw Zhou Luo and others next to him, and walked home angrily. Nanya hurriedly chased after him, while Lin Guixiang and Zhou Luo helped look after Wanwan.
Liu Xun took the opportunity to steal Zhou Luo's schoolbag and wanted to burn the score reduction notice. Liu Xun arrived in time, beat Liu Xun angrily, and finally snatched the schoolbag from his hand. Zhang Huashan and others also rushed to dissuade him. When faced with Zhang Huashan's accusation, Liu Xun became even more angry. He exposed Zhang Huashan's intention to marry his daughter to Zhou Luo and left in embarrassment.
At the same time, Xu Yi searched for photos at home to no avail. Nanya hid the tape without warning, thought about it, and put the tape into the tape recorder again. Xu Yi drove away Chen Ling who came to entangle him. When he heard that Nanya was going to report that he had killed Hu Lifan, he gradually lost his mind and pinched Nanya's neck tightly with his hands until Nanya stopped struggling.
Xu Yi thought he had killed Nanya by mistake, and scenes of past killings appeared in his mind. In this despair of mental breakdown, he resolutely wielded an ax and struck the beams, wanting to die with Nanya in this house. Nanya slowly opened her eyes, picked up the dagger and stabbed Xu Yi in the back, which angered Xu Yi again.
After some extreme pulling, Xu Yi grabbed Nanya's hand holding the dagger and stabbed it in the chest, then fell to the ground without breathing. When Zhou Luo arrived, he saw Nanya paralyzed beside him in despair, muttering that he had killed someone. Zhou Luo was shocked. After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked at Nanya firmly.
That night, Zhang Qingli confirmed that Zhou Luo liked Nanya and ran home crying; Chen Ling confirmed that Xu Yi would not divorce and burned the car with Liu Xun; Hu Xiu was sent to the hospital due to a heart attack and was in the bathroom I saw Chen Ling crying and washing her hands; Jiang Zhi was drunk at the wine table. On the other side of the river was a square with brilliant fireworks, and people were counting down to the millennium.
