The technical school posted explosive news, saying that Ziwei was raped in No. 6 Middle School. A classmate whose father is a policeman said that a gangster pursued Ziwei and blocked her several times, but she rejected him every time, so he got rid of her.

Yang Beibing arrived and exposed Detonator's decision to open a casino. The two were tied up and detained. Detonator's master and Yang Beibing's father came. Detonator talked about the time when his master served him in jail for two years and wanted to give him a thick stack of money. The master ignored him and left with Yang Beibing and Yu Yi. It turns out that Detonator stole the master's key and sold things in the factory. The master was wrongfully imprisoned and his wife left him. After he was released from prison, he opened a tavern to make a living. At this point, Yang Beibing understood his father.

Ziwei made an appointment with Yang Beibing and told her that she was going to Dalian with Detonator, and invited Yang Beibing and Yu Yi to see the sea. Suddenly, Detonator's enemy drove over, and several people pulled Ziwei into the car, asking Detonator to pick her up. Yang Beibing went to rescue Ziwei and pushed Ziwei out of the car.

At the end of the song, Bai Yuzhou went to the south to conquer the world, and his father sent Yang Beibing to study abroad. Yu Yi was expelled from school. Before leaving, he found "I like you" carved by Yang Beibing under his desk. Many years later, Bai Yuzhou went to Hong Kong to meet Yang Beibing and brought her a stack of letters that he found when he demolished the post office in Northeast China. They were all letters of return written by Yu Yi to Yang Beibing. Yang Beibing opened the letter, and Yu Yi said in the letter that he had become a sailor. He wrote: "Thank you for spending time with me, even though youth has left us with some wounds that can never be erased."
