Beginning a third phase in life.

Episode 18:
Timeline 2:
Xia Guo talks to her first boss that she would like her to work with her again. She, her prior boss, commented about herself: that she is fine not having any loving partner, she is fine alone, unlike Xia Guo who is trapped in love. Xia Guo officially ends her relationship with Xue Ming. Her other friend comments that Yu Jian is going to have a child with Wen Ya. Xia Guo takes off the necklace that was Xue Min's gift to her around her neck. Xia Guo resigns from her job, she says that this is the only way she will be able to get some rest. She starts a new food business with the bartender. She was working a lot and got sick, but she didn't realize it and had to have the bartender take her against her will to the hospital. She slept with her face on his shoulder receiving IV drips on her arm. The bartender tries to woo Xia Guo, even kisses her, but she firmly says that they are just good friends. Still, she understands that he has brought a little joy into her life and she is grateful for that. He gets very upset because she wants to expand the business and he thinks it's still early. And he complains that it seems that only her will matters and never his is taken into account. The episode ends with her thinking about her other self and wondering: how are you, Xia Guo? (She thinks to herself that she herself is maturing.)
Ps:
I remember in another episode she tells Xue Min that he doesn't understand her. At the time she said she'd quit her job and go with him, but he didn't take it (because he's probably afraid to commit in a deeper way, even though he loves her). And now, in this episode we see that she really wasn't stuck in that job, she likes to venture into new challenges, so he would be quite capable of doing a new business in Singapore, and continuing his relationship with Xue Min. Why didn't he want to?
