A Little Thing Called First Love Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Xia Miaomiao and Xia Yaoyao just moved into a new house. While the two sisters were playing on the balcony, Xia Miaomiao accidentally threw a peel towards the road. The peel happened to land on Liang Younian, a teenager passing by. Xia Miaomiao mistakenly thought he would look for trouble and quickly lowered her head to hide. Xia Yaoyao politely apologized to Liang Younian. Liang Younian, in his youth, was handsome and warm.
Not only did he not mind being hit by the peel, but the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. He directly put the peel on his head like a hat. Xia Miaomiao secretly observed the warm teenager Liang Younian, and her heart couldn't help but flutter. Liang Younian passed the basketball court. He originally wanted to go straight home, but the basketball team's coach hoped Liang Younian could play in place of the late Lin Kaituo.
Liang Younian couldn't refuse and had to put on Lin Kaituo's jersey to play. At the same time, Xia Miaomiao's family ran a shop. She followed her mother's instructions to hand out flyers outside and happened to see the basketball game Liang Younian was playing in. While the girls in the audience were screaming Liang Younian's name, Xia Miaomiao only remembered the name on Liang Younian's jersey and mistakenly thought Liang Younian's name was Lin Kaituo.
After Xia Miaomiao left, Lin Kaituo rushed to the scene angrily, demanding Liang Younian take off the jersey. His hostility towards Liang Younian was obvious, but Liang Younian didn't bother with Lin Kaituo and just took off the jersey as Lin Kaituo wished. On the other side, Xia Miaomiao returned home and video called her best friend A Xia. Xia Miaomiao confessed all her secret thoughts about Lin Kaituo one by one.
A Xia directly shattered Xia Miaomiao's fantasy, stating that Lin Kaituo was not a good student. Xia Miaomiao, holding onto the doubts in her heart, was half-believing, half-doubting. The next day, Xia Miaomiao went to a bookstore to read and coincidentally met Liang Younian. Liang Younian had a sticker on his forehead from just coaxing a child. Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but chuckle. Liang Younian looked at the plain-looking Xia Miaomiao and smiled back.
Liang Younian went to the front desk to pay. The bookstore owner knew Liang Younian. From the bookstore owner, Xia Miaomiao learned that Liang Younian was the top student in their grade. She secretly wondered in her heart, as the information she had about Liang Younian was different from what she knew. After paying and leaving the bookstore, it had started to rain heavily outside. Xia Miaomiao stood in front of Liang Younian and couldn't help but space out.
Liang Younian pulled Xia Miaomiao's thoughts back. In a moment of desperation, Xia Miaomiao could only say she wanted to borrow an umbrella from Liang Younian. The rain was heavy, and Liang Younian didn't hesitate to lend the umbrella he was holding to Xia Miaomiao, leaving alone on his bicycle through the rain. Xia Miaomiao's good feelings towards Liang Younian grew significantly. Mistaking Liang Younian for Lin Kaituo, she spoke up for Lin Kaituo on a forum.
However, Lin Kaituo didn't appreciate Xia Miaomiao's favor and hoped she wouldn't meddle. Xia Miaomiao was greatly discouraged. She called A Xia to complain, saying she might not make friends in the new school after moving, and now even Liang Younian, whom she had good feelings for, had rejected her request to be friends. A Xia comforted Xia Miaomiao while hoping Xia Miaomiao would give up her feelings for Liang Younian.
The next day, Xia Miaomiao went to school for the first day as a new student. After a simple self-introduction, she randomly chose a seat and coincidentally became Lin Kaituo's deskmate. She greeted Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo seemed unwilling to interact with Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao had just transferred schools. She was late for class because she went to the academic affairs office. On her way back to the classroom, she met Liang Younian again.
Liang Younian was punished for playing chess in class and was standing in the corridor with a chessboard on his head. When Xia Miaomiao passed the corridor, the chessboard on Liang Younian's head fell. At Liang Younian's request, she helped him put the chessboard back on his head. This scene was just seen by Lin Kaituo, who was passing by. Both Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo were late for class and were criticized by the teacher together.
Only then did Xia Miaomiao know that her deskmate was named Lin Kaituo, and the person she had good feelings for was named Liang Younian. After school, Xia Miaomiao wanted to return the umbrella to Liang Younian, but she took Xia Yaoyao's backpack by mistake and only pulled out a Barbie doll to hand to Liang Younian. The air was awkward for a few seconds. Liang Younian gave Xia Miaomiao a smile.
He left in a hurry urged by his friend Wang Yichao. Xia Miaomiao's face turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed. Xia Miaomiao had learned Liang Younian's name. On the forum, she started praising Liang Younian and belittling Lin Kaituo. Xia Miaomiao's words successfully attracted Lin Kaituo's attention. Lin Kaituo warned Xia Miaomiao not to let him find out her real identity. The next day, on her way to school, Xia Miaomiao unexpectedly saw Liang Younian.
She hurried to ride her bicycle and catch up to Liang Younian, but he didn't even notice her presence, only talking and laughing with He Xin, Xia Miaomiao's classmate. Xia Miaomiao felt a wave of disappointment. Xia Miaomiao's class's math teacher was transferred and didn't come. Art teacher Mr. Liang came to teach, and all the students greatly welcomed him. Before Mr. Liang could finish the class, the new math teacher Lu Peng came to report.
Mr. Liang had to give up the remaining half of the class. Before he left, he told the students that he was running a free art class and hoped students could maintain their love for art while studying. Xia Miaomiao had never studied art, and the things she drew were quite funny. Lin Kaituo snatched Xia Miaomiao's sketchbook and laughed mercilessly at her.
When he saw that the name Xia Miaomiao signed was the same as her forum ID, Lin Kaituo knew Xia Miaomiao's identity. He demanded that Xia Miaomiao copy all his homework from now on, simply because Xia Miaomiao used to be his number one fan.
Episode 2 Recap
Xia Miaomiao's mother came to school to pick Xia Miaomiao up after school. She prepared to take Xia Miaomiao to get braces, but Xia Miaomiao chickened out at the clinic entrance. Facing Xia Miaomiao's chickening out, Xia Miaomiao's mother was firm in her attitude, insisting on finding time to take Xia Miaomiao to get braces. Xia Miaomiao complained to A Xia on the phone in her room.
She brought up He Xin, who had a good relationship with Liang Younian, believing that even if she competed fairly, she couldn't compete with He Xin. Since there was no hope in love, A Xia persuaded Xia Miaomiao to put all her thoughts into studying, striving to become a top student and get into Shanghai University. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo were called on to answer questions in math class.
Although Xia Miaomiao had done this question before, standing in front of the blackboard, her mind went blank. Although Lin Kaituo usually didn't listen carefully in class, he had the mind of a top student and easily solved the problem upon walking up to the podium. Not only was Xia Miaomiao not good-looking, but she was also particularly poor in her studies. The list of her last-place ranking in the monthly exam brought Xia Miaomiao a strong sense of frustration.
Xia Miaomiao went home dejectedly, but Xia Yaoyao's 100 on her exam formed a stark contrast with Xia Miaomiao. While Xia's mother was praising Xia Yaoyao, Xia Miaomiao left the house by herself. Xia Miaomiao braved the rain to reach the lighthouse by the sea. She took out the soaked exam paper from her backpack. A gust of sea breeze blew, and Xia Miaomiao's exam paper floated outside, happening to hit Liang Younian's rain-soaked face.
Liang Younian followed Xia Miaomiao into the lighthouse to take shelter from the rain. Looking at Xia Miaomiao's exam paper with 31 points, Liang Younian spoke words of encouragement to Xia Miaomiao. While the two were talking, Liang Younian learned that Xia Miaomiao's deskmate was Lin Kaituo. He told Xia Miaomiao that if Lin Kaituo bullied Xia Miaomiao in any way, he was willing to apologize to Xia Miaomiao on behalf of Lin Kaituo.
Xia Miaomiao was somewhat curious about the relationship between Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian, but Liang Younian was unwilling to talk about it much. Instead, he actively helped Xia Miaomiao catch up on her studies. Xia Miaomiao's feelings of fluttering heart towards Liang Younian grew deeper and deeper. After she got home, she not only stared blankly at Liang Younian's scratch paper but also carefully preserved Liang Younian's scratch paper with plastic wrap.
The next day, Xia Miaomiao helped Lin Kaituo copy his homework in high spirits on her way to school. He Xin mistakenly thought Xia Miaomiao was copying Lin Kaituo's homework. Xia Miaomiao explained, but He Xin was unwilling to believe it. She was Lin Kaituo's number one fan, and she had never helped Lin Kaituo copy homework before. Lin Kaituo clearly told He Xin that he had asked Xia Miaomiao to help him copy homework.
He Xin and Lin Kaituo had a good relationship before. She handed a portion of dumplings to Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo, in front of He Xin, told Xia Miaomiao to eat them. In a fit of anger, He Xin wanted to drag Xia Miaomiao to the office to expose the matter of her copying Lin Kaituo's homework. There was already anger in Lin Kaituo's eyes.
He went to the corridor and told He Xin again that it was he who copied Xia Miaomiao's homework. He Xin publicly mentioned that Xia Miaomiao's math was terrible. The commotion of a few people attracted many eyes. Liang Younian happened to pass by at this time. He looked at the two people's homework books, proving that Xia Miaomiao did not copy Lin Kaituo's homework.
Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian seemed like different people from when they knew each other before. Looking at Lin Kaituo's self-righteous manner of telling Xia Miaomiao to go back and copy homework, Liang Younian was afraid that Lin Kaituo had threatened Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao did not want her forum ID to be leaked. Facing Lin Kaituo's sharp gaze, she could only choose to compromise, saying that she helped Lin Kaituo copy homework voluntarily.
Only after a series of events did Xia Miaomiao learn that although Lin Kaituo's test scores were at the bottom every time, he was a genuine top student. Looking at how Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo were talking, He Xin felt jealous in her heart. She just told Xia Miaomiao not to meddle. In computer class, He Xin's computer had a problem. Xia Miaomiao finished her homework early. She proactively offered to switch computers with He Xin.
He Xin reluctantly accepted Xia Miaomiao's kindness, but unexpectedly discovered Xia Miaomiao's forum ID on Xia Miaomiao's computer. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian met by chance at a stationery store. Liang Younian brought up the matter of copying homework again. Xia Miaomiao did not tell Liang Younian about the forum ID. Liang Younian understandingly did not continue to ask. The two left the bookstore together. With Xia Miaomiao revealing it, Liang Younian only then knew that his home and Xia Miaomiao's home were exactly on the way, so he walked Xia Miaomiao to her doorstep.
Episode 3 Recap
In the second year of high school, during the proficiency test, He Xin and Xia Miaomiao were assigned to the same examination room. On her way to the test center, she lost her pencil case. Upon learning of He Xin's predicament, Xia Miaomiao didn't hesitate to break her own pencil in half and give one piece to He Xin. The two girls' friendship quickly warmed up.
After finishing the test and leaving, He Xin and Xia Miaomiao sat together on the way back to school. He Xin keenly noticed the umbrella in Xia Miaomiao's hand. Xia Miaomiao was surprised to learn from He Xin that Liang Younian was He Xin's cousin, and the previous art teacher was Liang Younian's father. The two returned home together. When He Xin walked Xia Miaomiao to her doorstep, Xia Miaomiao invited He Xin to come inside and play.
He Xin was the first friend she had made in Haicheng. He Xin had always been cheerful and generous, and she readily agreed. Under the warm hospitality of Xia's mother, she entered the Xia household. He Xin taught Xia Miaomiao math, but Xia Miaomiao couldn't understand any of the knowledge points she explained. Xia Miaomiao took out Liang Younian's previous scratch paper and felt that Liang Younian's tutoring method was the most effective.
He Xin was very surprised that Xia Miaomiao had actually stored Liang Younian's casually written scratch paper with plastic wrap. She decided to follow Xia Miaomiao's example and collect Lin Kaituo's scratch paper from then on. Since Xia Miaomiao greatly approved of Liang Younian's tutoring method, He Xin prepared to call Liang Younian to help Xia Miaomiao with her studies. However, Xia Miaomiao awkwardly stopped He Xin, fearing that she would be too abrupt and bother Liang Younian.
Xia Miaomiao insisted, so He Xin had to give up. The proficiency test results were released. Xia Miaomiao's math score not only didn't improve but was still second to last in the entire grade. Seeing Xia Miaomiao's retake approaching, He Xin pulled the worried Xia Miaomiao to the school store. He Xin calculated that Liang Younian would be at the school store at this time.
She pulled Xia Miaomiao in front of Liang Younian and asked Liang Younian to help Xia Miaomiao with her studies. At He Xin's request, Liang Younian nodded and agreed, arranging to meet Xia Miaomiao at the lighthouse after school. Liang Younian began tutoring Xia Miaomiao. The two were very close while tutoring, and Xia Miaomiao's heart uncontrollably fluttered.
Seeing Xia Miaomiao constantly staring at him, Liang Younian mistakenly thought something was on his face and wiped it randomly, unaware that pink chalk dust had gotten onto his face. The two parted ways at the lighthouse and unexpectedly met again on the way home that evening. Xia Miaomiao wanted to ask Liang Younian for his phone number, but being shy and timid, she failed to muster the courage several times.
When she finally managed to open her mouth, she missed the opportunity due to her shyness. Xia Miaomiao returned home, and Xia's mother mistakenly thought Xia Miaomiao had gone out to play. In addition, she already knew about Xia Miaomiao's second to last place in the exam, so she scolded Xia Miaomiao in a rather harsh tone. Just then, Xia Miaomiao's father came home. He secretly brought chocolate as a gift for Xia Miaomiao.
Both Xia Miaomiao and her sister Xia Yaoyao had a good relationship with their father. Seeing their father return, the sisters were exceptionally happy. Although Xia's mother said words that sounded quite jealous, she couldn't help but smile at the sight of the harmonious family scene. Under the guidance of Xia's father, Xia Miaomiao thought carefully overnight and decided to study fashion design. Xia's father supported Xia Miaomiao, telling her to start learning art knowledge.
Although Xia's mother verbally disagreed, she deeply loved and supported Xia Miaomiao from the bottom of her heart. Xia Miaomiao had seen Liang Younian on the first day of new student registration while eating a red egg. She regarded the red egg as her good luck charm, so she asked Xia's mother to boil another one for her, hoping to catch some good luck and run into Liang Younian.
He Xin took Xia Miaomiao to Liang's father's art studio for registration. She knew about Xia Miaomiao's feelings for Liang Younian and just shook her head and sighed lightly, believing that eating more red eggs wouldn't help Xia Miaomiao see Liang Younian at the studio, as Liang Younian was in his third year of high school and rarely came to the studio anymore.
As student council cadres, Liang Younian and Wang Yichao were responsible for checking the eye exercises in each class. Lin Kaituo had a deep resentment towards Liang Younian, and he mocked Liang Younian when he came to inspect. Wang Yichao couldn't stand Lin Kaituo's arrogant behavior, and he got into a conflict with Lin Kaituo. Just as the two were about to fight, the class teacher Lu Peng arrived.
Liang Younian was afraid that Lin Kaituo would be disciplined, so he smartly pretended to have a stomach ache and vomit with Xia Miaomiao's cooperation. Although Lu Peng saw through Liang Younian's trick, he didn't pursue the matter. He only told Wang Yichao to take Liang Younian to the infirmary and asked Xia Miaomiao to visit Liang Younian.
Episode 4 Recap
Xia Miaomiao went to the art studio after school for extra art lessons. Liang Younian and Wang Yichao also came to the studio to paint. Liang Younian sat next to Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao secretly glanced at Liang Younian, feeling happy inside. While painting, Liang Younian's mother came to bring fruit for the students. When Liang Younian saw his mother, he quickly hid his book, only taking out the book about architecture after she left.
Liang Younian's mother gave Xia Miaomiao a student registration form. While filling out the form, Xia Miaomiao unexpectedly saw Liang Younian's name and phone number. A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she quickly covered Liang Younian's phone number. Afterwards, when Wang Yichao came out to get fruit, he mentioned the clothes he designed for dolls. Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, not expecting a grown man to play with dolls.
Wang Yichao explained that he was designing clothes for dolls. Feeling awkward, he instead teased Xia Miaomiao about her crooked teeth. Liang Younian spoke up for Xia Miaomiao, and Wang Yichao also realized he had said the wrong thing and left quickly. After the incident at the art studio, Xia Miaomiao felt very heavy-hearted. For the first time, she truly cared about her teeth.
Early in the morning, she dragged Xia Miaomiao's mother to the clinic and silently insisted on wearing braces. Later, she came to the lighthouse to tutor with Liang Younian. Liang Younian was the first person outside her family to know that Xia Miaomiao wore braces. Liang Younian had been tutoring Xia Miaomiao during this period. He promised Xia Miaomiao that her score in the next exam would definitely double.
On the way home, Xia Miaomiao gathered the courage to ask Liang Younian for his home phone number. Although Liang Younian gave Xia Miaomiao the number, he didn't believe Xia Miaomiao could memorize it. Later, Xia Miaomiao passed the retake. The first thing she did was call Liang Younian. Liang Younian congratulated Xia Miaomiao from the bottom of his heart, believing that effort still yielded results. Lin Kaituo saw Liang Younian's home phone number in Xia Miaomiao's sketchbook.
Xia Miaomiao was very surprised that Lin Kaituo could memorize Liang Younian's home phone number. Lin Kaituo only said that he had seen it once at the art studio and remembered it. Hearing that Lin Kaituo had been to the art studio, Xia Miaomiao mentioned Xia Miaomiao's mother's gentleness to Lin Kaituo, believing that only a gentle mother like Xia Miaomiao's could raise such a gentle son like Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao's words successfully made Lin Kaituo's face sink instantly.
Lin Kaituo left the classroom with a dark expression. Xia Miaomiao met Liang Younian at the art studio. She was surprised to learn that Liang Younian's mother graduated from Haida University, and Liang Younian wanted to study architecture at Haida University. Therefore, she secretly made up her mind to apply for the fashion design department at Haida University. Liang Younian's biological mother was not the mother Xia Miaomiao had met, but Xia Miaomiao misunderstood.
Liang Younian did not explain further, only helping Xia Miaomiao analyze her drawing. Xia Miaomiao was afraid that her little secret would be exposed, so she lied, claiming she was drawing the scene of He Xin watching Lin Kaituo play basketball. The basketball finals were approaching. Lin Kaituo was sulking over his jersey and refused to come to basketball practice.
The basketball coach approached Wang Yichao and Liang Younian, hoping they could return to participate in the competition, as this game was very important for Haida High School. Wang Yichao and Liang Younian originally wanted to refuse, but when they heard the opponent was Shanghai No. 2 Middle School, they still decided to compete. At the game, Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo appeared on the same court.
Although Liang Younian tried his best during the game, Haida High School still lost. Lin Kaituo also fell out with Liang Younian again because Liang Younian participated in the game. Back home, the atmosphere between Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian was tense. It turned out that Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo were half-brothers through different mothers and fathers. Because his mother married Liang Younian's father, Lin Kaituo's relationship with Liang Younian had been getting worse and worse.
Xia Miaomiao's father suddenly received notice that he had to go out to sea. He left home with Xia Miaomiao and her sister Xia Yaoyao reluctantly seeing him off. The next day, the school held an inter-school basketball game. Xia Miaomiao pulled He Xin along to cheer for Liang Younian. He Xin unexpectedly met Lin Kaituo, who was at the school delivering takeout. She told Lin Kaituo about the school holding a basketball game. Although Lin Kaituo didn't say anything verbally, he still secretly came to the game site to watch the match.
Episode 5 Recap
Haida High School vs. Shanghai Chengerzhong. The players from Chengerzhong were aggressive and repeatedly fouled, injuring Wang Yichao. Lin Kaituo, in the spectator seats, couldn't stand it anymore. He decided to put aside past grievances and all prejudices and enter the game. Lin Kaituo came to rescue the situation, and Haida High School's basketball team was greatly inspired. With the tacit cooperation of all team members, Haida High School won the game.
However, Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo suffered minor injuries in the basketball game. Liang Younian had a scraped arm. While cheering for Liang Younian, Xia Miaomiao noticed this detail. She rushed home to get medicine for Liang Younian. Liang Younian originally wanted to just use a popsicle to ice it down, but he still didn't refuse Xia Miaomiao's kindness when she came to find him, allowing Xia Miaomiao to treat his wound. Liang Younian returned home.
His father was treating Lin Kaituo's wound. His mother was very happy to hear that Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo played basketball together and wanted them to reconcile as soon as possible. Lin Kaituo rarely agreed to eat with everyone from the Liang family, but conflict arose again at the dinner table. His mother apologized to Liang Younian for making braised pork that he didn't like. Lin Kaituo, unable to bear his mother's subservience, mocked her.
He left the table coldly, leaving harsh words behind. Liang Younian hid the complicated emotions in his eyes. In front of his father and mother, he ate the fatty meat in his bowl, saying that he was no longer picky. The Liang family's dinner ended on a sour note. Lin Kaituo planned to save his delivery money for rent, while Liang Younian was thinking about his mother in his room.
His father did not allow him to apply for the architecture major at Haida University, but he was determined and unwilling to change his mind. On the day of the college entrance examination, Xia Miaomiao specifically got up early to set up her stall. She brought breakfast for Liang Younian, hoping he would do well in the exam. Liang Younian accepted the breakfast.
Although Xia Miaomiao didn't say it explicitly, Liang Younian subtly guessed that it was prepared for him by Xia Miaomiao. The college entrance examination is an important event for every parent. Even though Liang Younian was not his mother's biological son, she knew that Liang Younian hadn't eaten breakfast, so she specifically chased after him to the school, wanting to give him the breakfast.
Liang Younian had already entered the school, and his mother had no way to hand him the breakfast. She could only feed him dumplings through the crack in the door. This scene was captured by a reporter, and Liang Younian and his mother appeared in the newspaper because of it. Seeing the newspaper, Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but deeply marvel at his mother's love. Lin Kaituo, who was passing by, heard Xia Miaomiao say "moving maternal love."
He sneered and mocked his mother. Xia Miaomiao didn't know the relationship between Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo and simply argued with Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo's temper instantly flared up. The unaware Xia Miaomiao mistakenly thought that Lin Kaituo's mother was no longer alive. After the college entrance examination, Liang Younian ranked first in the city, becoming the top science student. However, he and Xia Miaomiao still coincidentally came to the art studio.
Just then, his father had already learned that Liang Younian had only filled in the architecture department at Haida University for his college application. He lost his temper at Liang Younian, tearing up Liang Younian's drawings on the spot and demanding that Liang Younian change his application. Liang Younian insisted on not backing down regarding his application and simply picked up the torn drawings before leaving the art studio. Liang Younian came to the lighthouse alone.
Xia Miaomiao followed and stayed by Liang Younian's side. Liang Younian told Xia Miaomiao everything. His mother was actually Lin Kaituo's mother. At that time, only one year after Liang Younian's biological mother passed away, his father wanted to marry Lin Kaituo's mother. Neither Lin Kaituo nor Liang Younian could accept this. The two originally reached an agreement to oppose it together, but Liang Younian saw his father's sadness and chose to compromise, agreeing to their marriage.
Just like this, the relationship between Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo became what it is now. And even his own mother's death anniversary is remembered by no one except him. After hearing Liang Younian's story, Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but feel heartbroken and tear up. Liang Younian looked at Xia Miaomiao helplessly. Xia Miaomiao quickly held back and wiped away her tears. His father waited for Liang Younian to return at the doorstep.
The father and son ate together at the dining table, but the atmosphere was subtly awkward. There was an obvious sense of unfamiliarity between Liang Younian and his mother. At the dinner table, he asked his father to give him the box where his mother kept her design drawings, but his father only told Liang Younian to eat first and did not agree to it.
His father was away for a few days, and Liang Younian was in charge of watching the art studio. During this time, Xia Miaomiao couldn't unscrew her white paint. Liang Younian wanted to help Xia Miaomiao open it but used too much force and broke the paint tube. He decided to go to the stationery store to buy a new set for Xia Miaomiao. Just then, Xia Miaomiao was also in the stationery store.
She didn't know that Liang Younian had arrived behind her and was just looking at an expensive set of paints with admiration, reluctant to put them down but without the money to buy them.
Episode 6 Recap
Liang Younian secretly bought the paints Xia Miaomiao liked. He handed the paints to Xia Miaomiao, saying that he had many paints of the same brand. Xia Miaomiao couldn't refuse Liang Younian's kindness, so she accepted the paints and decided to use them to achieve good results to repay Liang Younian. On his way home, Liang Younian unexpectedly saw Lin Kaituo delivering food.
He secretly followed Lin Kaituo all the way and also learned about the difficulties Lin Kaituo faced in delivering food. Liang Younian received the admission letter from Haicheng University. Xia Miaomiao's painting skills had also improved significantly; she passed Level 8. She originally wanted to share the news with Liang Younian immediately, but Liang Younian had never been to the art studio again, so Xia Miaomiao couldn't see Liang Younian at all. Xia Miaomiao was very distressed.
He Xin encouraged Xia Miaomiao with a look of wanting her to do better. Finally, Xia Miaomiao mustered the courage to come to the lighthouse, hoping to run into Liang Younian. There always seemed to be an inexplicable connection between Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao indeed saw Liang Younian by the sea. She lied that she was there to help Xia Yaoyao make a shell necklace. Without a word, Liang Younian helped Xia Miaomiao pick up shells.
Hearing that Xia Yaoyao was still a primary school student, Liang Younian casually asked how to deal with a primary school student's tantrums. Xia Miaomiao gave Liang Younian a simple and effective method; dealing with such a primary school student only required one trick: the 'provocation method' (jijiang fa). Liang Younian was thoughtful and felt that what Xia Miaomiao said made a lot of sense.
Afterwards, while making the shell necklace, Xia Miaomiao accidentally got the thread caught on her braces. She told Liang Younian about it, feeling shy and embarrassed. Liang Younian couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it. Without a second thought, he took Xia Miaomiao to the hospital. Xia Miaomiao found a blessing in disguise; only after a check-up at the hospital did she discover that her braces could already be removed.
Just then, He Xin called Liang Younian, and Xia Miaomiao took Liang Younian's phone to chat with He Xin. Seeing Xia Miaomiao's liveliness, Liang Younian couldn't help but smile. To thank Liang Younian, Xia Miaomiao also treated him to ice cream. The feelings between the two were gradually warming up. Lin Kaituo gave the rent money to Liang Younian. Liang Younian saw that Lin Kaituo wanted to move out of the house.
He decided to use Xia Miaomiao's 'provocation method', which not only provoked Lin Kaituo into not wanting to leave home but also provoked him into starting to study. Liang's father had already given Liang Younian the box of his mother's design drawings. Liang Younian was about to enter the architecture department at Haida University. He decided to continue drawing the design sketches his mother had not finished at the time, completing his mother's dream.
Although Liang's father, Liang Gang, agreed to let Liang Younian study architecture, he still secretly contacted an old classmate in the Haida architecture department, hoping he could be strictly critical of Liang Younian and try to force him to transfer schools. Wang Yichao called Liang Younian, planning to sell Liang Younian's third-year high school notes to younger students. However, Liang Younian was not interested in this. Instead, he packed everything up and left it for Xia Miaomiao.
Xia Miaomiao missed Liang Younian's call because she was helping Xia Yaoyao with her homework. By the time she rushed to the lighthouse, Liang Younian had already left, leaving behind all the review materials and notes. Xia Miaomiao looked at the things Liang Younian had left and decided to study hard, get into Haida University, and not let Liang Younian down.
Xia Miaomiao and He Xin, who are in the same grade, had moved up to the third year of high school. Their classroom happened to be Liang Younian's previous classroom. With He Xin's reminder, Xia Miaomiao quickly claimed Liang Younian's former desk. However, Lin Kaituo had already chosen his seat in advance; he became Xia Miaomiao's deskmate again, while He Xin sat in front of Lin Kaituo. The third year of high school is crucial.
Under Liang Younian's 'provocation method', Lin Kaituo had already started studying seriously. Xia Miaomiao also began to work hard while thinking of Liang Younian, unwilling to waste her third year of high school.
Episode 7 Recap
Both Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo made huge progress in their grades. Lin Kaituo got into the top ten in the class for all subjects, except for English where he failed. He Xin was first in the class. She was planning to help Lin Kaituo with English tutoring.
Lin Kaituo was initially unwilling to agree, but couldn't resist He Xin's persuasion and finally agreed to let He Xin tutor him in English, on the condition that they could not tutor alone. Every day of the third year of high school was crucial. Xia Miaomiao, Lin Kaituo, and others worked hard, seizing every minute. In the end, every bit of Xia Miaomiao's effort paid off, and she successfully got into Haida University with a high score of over 600.
During the summer vacation, Xia Miaomiao was delivering food for the shop and happened to run into Lin Kaituo, who was also delivering food. Lin Kaituo took Xia Miaomiao, who didn't know the way, to the address on the delivery order, but unexpectedly saw Liang's mother walking towards them from ahead. Lin Kaituo was deeply afraid of being seen by Liang's mother, so he hurriedly hid in the stairwell. Xia Miaomiao saw through Lin Kaituo's thoughts.
She took Liang's mother away, then came back to find Lin Kaituo and asked him to take her on his electric scooter to deliver the food, to avoid being late. After delivering the food, Xia Miaomiao treated Lin Kaituo to ice cream. Lin Kaituo arrogantly claimed both ice creams for himself and thanked Xia Miaomiao awkwardly. At Haicheng University, Liang Younian stayed up late drawing in the model room.
Although architectural structure was an elective course, Liang Younian still took it incredibly seriously. His assignment was publicly praised by the teacher, and he also won the favor of many girls in the class due to his handsome appearance and outstanding grades. On Haida University's open house day, Xia Miaomiao and He Xin found out that Liang Younian was busy with group work and should be in the model classroom.
He Xin originally wanted to accompany Xia Miaomiao, but her eyes caught sight of Lin Kaituo, so she had to leave Xia Miaomiao behind to follow Lin Kaituo. Xia Miaomiao knew about He Xin's feelings for Lin Kaituo, so she had to go to the model classroom by herself to find Liang Younian. She expected it to be an extremely exciting moment seeing Liang Younian, but Xia Miaomiao unexpectedly found a gentle senior female student by Liang Younian's side.
She suddenly felt defeated and disappointed and left the model classroom sadly. A Xia came to Haida University. She found Xia Miaomiao by the lake with a look of disappointment on her face. He Xin also came to Xia Miaomiao's side at this time. After getting to know each other, the two became concerned about Xia Miaomiao.
After hearing about what happened when Xia Miaomiao went to see Liang Younian, He Xin comforted Xia Miaomiao, saying that Liang Younian had a gentle personality but had never been in a relationship, so Xia Miaomiao still had a chance. Although Liang Younian wasn't in a relationship, Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian were far apart. A Xia believed that Xia Miaomiao must make a change; only by becoming beautiful could she have the confidence to stand by Liang Younian's side.
He Xin greatly agreed with A Xia. The two were action-oriented. Saying they would do it, they immediately took advantage of the summer vacation to formulate a series of transformation plans for Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao's fashion design major was changed to architecture by Xia's mother. She was admitted to the architecture department, while He Xin was admitted to the journalism department. Xia Miaomiao's face was allergic due to skincare.
On the first day of freshman orientation, she had a face full of worry and didn't want to see Liang Younian looking like that. He Xin comforted Xia Miaomiao, saying that this year's sophomores would participate in military training with the freshmen. By then, fair-skinned Liang Younian would also get tanned, and no one would be able to make fun of anyone. After hearing this, Xia Miaomiao felt somewhat relieved deep down.
Episode 8 Recap
Haida University freshmen and sophomores entered the training base for military training. Liang Younian served as the squad leader for Xia Miaomiao's class. When checking appearance and demeanor, Xia Miaomiao took off her mask, revealing her allergic face. Other students in the architecture department laughed at Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo spoke up for Xia Miaomiao. Instructor Xu was preparing to punish Lin Kaituo for ignoring discipline. Xia Miaomiao stood up and spoke up for Lin Kaituo in return.
The two were punished together by Instructor Xu. Lin Kaituo was punished with running, and Xia Miaomiao was punished with push-ups. But as a girl, Xia Miaomiao couldn't do 50 push-ups at all. Liang Younian believed this punishment was because of Lin Kaituo and felt responsible. He voluntarily took the punishment for Xia Miaomiao, willingly asking for double the punishment and doing one hundred push-ups. While building a sand table, Lin Kaituo and Xia Miaomiao caused another stir.
The two accidentally stirred up sand, attracting Instructor Xu's attention, and were criticized again in public. During dinner, Liang Younian and Wang Yichao sat across from Xia Miaomiao with their trays. Liang Younian noticed carefully that the allergy on Xia Miaomiao's face had gotten much better. Also, Xia Miaomiao had temporarily switched to contact lenses because her glasses lens was broken. She had taken off her framed glasses and looked much better.
During this time, Fang Xiaoyue, a female classmate who admired Liang Younian, came and sat next to Liang Younian. Liang Younian did not say anything to refuse her. Wang Yichao also mentioned that the two often drew together. Xia Miaomiao's face clouded over, and she just buried her head and ate. As a journalism student, He Xin was preparing to submit an article about military training to the school, so she borrowed a camera from Liang Younian.
But the memory card was full after only taking a few pictures. When Liang Younian was preparing to delete the photos on the camera, he saw Xia Miaomiao's photos. With a smile on his lips, he kept Xia Miaomiao's photos. And after He Xin got the camera, she kept chasing after Lin Kaituo to take pictures. She wanted to take a picture with Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo was unwilling to cooperate.
He Xin's actions attracted gossip from the girls around them. They were talking about He Xin's pursuing him. Lin Kaituo didn't want He Xin to suffer from gossip. Without a second thought, he put his arm around He Xin's shoulder and started taking a picture with He Xin. Xia Miaomiao felt extremely tired from military training. Liang Younian handed Xia Miaomiao an cooling patch. He helped her apply it and said it was a refreshing formula he invented.
And this formula was thanks to the pile of medicine Xia Miaomiao gave him after he was injured in a basketball game back then. As Xia Miaomiao listened to Liang Younian's words, a warm current surged in her heart, and she felt that her distance from Liang Younian had gotten a bit closer. On the first day of freshman registration, Xia Miaomiao and A Xia were assigned to the same dormitory.
Just as the two of them arrived, their other roommate, the "belle" of the fashion design department, also came to check in. Xia Miaomiao enthusiastically greeted her roommate, but she didn't appreciate Xia Miaomiao's gesture. Not only did she have a terrible temper, but she also didn't know any manners at all, which made A Xia extremely angry. On the other side, He Xin followed Lin Kaituo all the way to his dormitory.
As soon as Lin Kaituo arrived, he took a basketball and left. He Xin thoughtfully made the bed for him. Lin Kaituo's roommates all mistakenly thought He Xin was Lin Kaituo's girlfriend. Lin Kaituo initially didn't deny it, but as soon as he heard his roommates mention the sibling-like relationship between He Xin and Liang Younian, without a second thought, he denied that He Xin was his girlfriend. Freshman classes began. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo sat together again.
The architecture teacher mentioned the importance of art for architecture grades and hoped everyone would enthusiastically sign up for the art club. The two presidents of the art club were Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue. Lin Kaituo knew Xia Miaomiao wanted to place her hopes on Liang Younian, so he was the first to dampen her hopes, saying that Liang Younian would not possibly use favoritism for her. Afterward, Xia Miaomiao and A Xia came to the cultural wall.
With A Xia's encouragement, Xia Miaomiao mentioned to Liang Younian that she wanted to join the art club. Fang Xiaoyue, sharp-eyed, noticed that Xia Miaomiao had gotten paint on her clothes. She originally wanted to take Xia Miaomiao to the model classroom to clean it, but she suddenly received a call from a teacher. She wanted to change dormitories but there were no more beds. A Xia cleverly remembered that there was still an empty bed in their dormitory. Without a second thought, she pulled Fang Xiaoyue along to change dormitories, creating a space for Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian to be alone.
Episode 9 Recap
Xiao Miaomiao was watching Liang Younian build his model in the model classroom. Wang Yichao called out to Xia Miaomiao from behind. In her surprise, Xia Miaomiao accidentally broke Liang Younian's model. Wang Yichao remembered the terrible consequences when he had broken Liang Younian's model before, and he thought Xia Miaomiao was definitely doomed this time. But Liang Younian calmly forgave Xia Miaomiao, without a single word of blame.
Seeing Liang Younian's reaction, Wang Yichao was stunned, not expecting Liang Younian to have such a double standard. He thought Liang Younian treated Xia Miaomiao differently. Liang Younian responded frankly that, in his eyes, Xia Miaomiao and He Xin were the same to him. He truly regarded Xia Miaomiao as his younger sister from the bottom of his heart. Xia Miaomiao returned to the dormitory and told A Xia about breaking the model.
A Xia helped Xia Miaomiao analyze the situation. She boldly guessed that Liang Younian liked Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao immediately retorted without hesitation, not daring to entertain such a fantasy. At this time, Fang Xiaoyue arrived at the dormitory pulling a suitcase. She had applied to change dormitories and would be Xia Miaomiao and A Xia's roommate from now on. A Xia learned from Fang Xiaoyue about the art club recruiting new members.
Twenty students had signed up for the art club this time, but only five members would be recruited. If Xia Miaomiao wanted to be selected for the art club, she would have to stand out among the twenty students. -- By the cultural wall, Xia Miaomiao was assigned to a group to paint with two other female classmates. However, the two couldn't stand the heat of the sun and left, leaving only Xia Miaomiao behind.
Exhausted, Xia Miaomiao leaned on a chair and fell asleep. When Liang Younian passed the cultural wall, he finished Xia Miaomiao's unfinished painting. He left his and Xia Miaomiao's signatures on the cultural wall. Xia Miaomiao remembered A Xia's previous guess that Liang Younian liked her, and a ripple stirred in her heart, but she didn't dare to think too much about it.
In addition to practical work, all applicants for the art club also had to submit a line drawing. Xia Miaomiao's line drawing was eliminated. She mustered the courage to ask why she was eliminated. Liang Younian criticized Xia Miaomiao's line drawing on the spot, saying it lacked any distinct characteristics and didn't show the ability an art club member should possess. Liang Younian's criticism of Xia Miaomiao made Xia Miaomiao feel sad deep down.
Xia Miaomiao completely put an end to her previous fantasy that Liang Younian liked her. While the group members were painting manhole covers, she acted cool towards Liang Younian, but was enthusiastic towards Li Baiyang, who also applied for the art club. Liang Younian looked confused. Afterwards, the radio station asked Xia Miaomiao to go to the security booth. Liang Younian knew Xia Miaomiao didn't know the way, so he voluntarily took Xia Miaomiao to the security booth.
It turned out that Xia Yaoyao had a tantrum with her mother and ran away from home to find Xia Miaomiao, staying with Xia Miaomiao for one night. During that time, Xia Yaoyao heard Xia Miaomiao's roommates making fun of Xia Miaomiao for being dark. She was very protective of her sister. After returning home, she immediately pooled money with their mother to buy skincare products for Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo worked part-time as the manager of the equipment room.
He Xin, as a freshman in the journalism department, came to the equipment room to get some equipment and was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Kaituo. The usually lively and spirited He Xin also showed a more gentle side when she met Lin Kaituo. The girls in her class couldn't help but tease He Xin.
Lin Kaituo was initially unwilling to tell He Xin why he was in the equipment room, but he couldn't stand anyone talking about He Xin, so he answered He Xin's question. In the following days, Lin Kaituo avoided seeing He Xin. He Xin had to use a little trick. She pulled out a plug from the microphone and called Lin Kaituo to come see her.
Although Lin Kaituo knew it was He Xin's little trick, he still couldn't do anything about He Xin and came over to fix the microphone for her. After fixing the microphone, He Xin wanted to take the opportunity to invite Lin Kaituo to lunch, but Lin Kaituo refused He Xin without hesitation. Xia Miaomiao's skin gradually got better. Lin Kaituo was the first to notice the change in Xia Miaomiao's skin. Xia Miaomiao was filled with youthful surprise.
He Xin also noticed the change in Xia Miaomiao's skin during dinner. But the oblivious Liang Younian didn't notice any change in Xia Miaomiao's skin at all. Xia Miaomiao's joy turned into a slight disappointment, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, freshman year was halfway through. All freshmen had to submit their midterm assignments. Xia Miaomiao gathered her spirits to complete it, but was still asked to resubmit and redraw the pictures. She was extremely worried about this, afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish the assignment and get a good grade.
Episode 10 Recap
Liang Younian learned from He Xin that Xia Miaomiao had problems with her midterm architectural tracing. He planned to make time to help Xia Miaomiao solve the problem, so he arranged to meet Xia Miaomiao in the model classroom the next morning. Afterwards, Liang Younian went out to buy swimming trunks. On the way, he accidentally bumped into Assistant Professor Jia Yin from the Fashion Department. Jia Yin was very happy because Liang Younian called her "classmate."
She picked up the swimming trunks Liang Younian dropped on the spot, and so she kept calling out to Liang Younian. Just then, Lu Peng happened to be bringing high school students to visit the school. He took the swimming trunks from Jia Yin and decided to hand them over to Liang Younian for her. When Jia Yin first met Lu Peng, her gaze followed Lu Peng's figure and lingered for a long time.
The next morning, Xia Miaomiao came to the model classroom to meet Liang Younian. Liang Younian learned that Xia Miaomiao hadn't eaten breakfast, so he gave Xia Miaomiao a steamed bun. The drawing Xia Miaomiao was working on was a design draft for the Ideological and Political Education Building, but the proportions of the draft paper had serious problems. Liang Younian took Xia Miaomiao to the Ideological and Political Education Building for a site survey.
Before they measured, Liang Younian mentioned how scary it was when the measuring tape recoiled, and he told Xia Miaomiao to be careful. Unexpectedly, Xia Miaomiao's measuring tape had a problem. Liang Younian had no choice but to use the method Xia Miaomiao usually used, which was to shake the tape.
Just as the tape was about to spring back and hit Xia Miaomiao, Liang Younian quickly blocked it in front of Xia Miaomiao and grabbed the tape with his hand. Liang Younian's hand was injured. Xia Miaomiao kept apologizing to Liang Younian. Liang Younian did not blame Xia Miaomiao. Instead, he patiently taught Xia Miaomiao how to draw the tracing. Xia Miaomiao focused on drawing the tracing while thinking back on the day's events.
That evening, Xia Miaomiao fell asleep in front of the drawing. Liang Younian woke Xia Miaomiao up and told her to go back to the dormitory to rest first. Xia Miaomiao called He Xin when she returned to the dormitory. He Xin had spent the whole day in prison working on a news draft. It was almost midnight, and she still hadn't returned to the dormitory. As she walked, she felt like someone was following her.
Xia Miaomiao suddenly lost contact with He Xin. He Xin called Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo mistook it for one of He Xin's pranks. He hung up and ignored He Xin. Afterwards, Lin Kaituo couldn't help but call He Xin back, but He Xin's number was out of the service area. As Lin Kaituo was getting ready to go out and look for He Xin, he ran into Liang Younian. Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo searched separately.
Finally, Lin Kaituo found He Xin in the academic building. He Xin cried and threw herself into Lin Kaituo's arms, weeping bitterly. Afterwards, Liang Younian met the cleaning lady and finally understood the whole situation. It turned out that He Xin was scared by the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady followed He Xin into the academic building to explain, but she didn't expect He Xin to be so frightened. The misunderstanding was resolved.
Lin Kaituo walked He Xin back to the dormitory. Although He Xin was usually bold and spirited, she was still crying tearfully at this moment. Xia Miaomiao wanted to self-study the Fashion Department. A Xia helped Xia Miaomiao borrow books. Xia Miaomiao was caught by Li Sicheng when she was looking through the books during class. Li Sicheng advised Xia Miaomiao to focus her attention on architecture class.
She and Lin Kaituo were taking the same class at the same time, but there was a huge difference between them. Li Sicheng wanted Lin Kaituo to tutor Xia Miaomiao in her studies. Lin Kaituo originally wanted to help Xia Miaomiao, but Xia Miaomiao knew Lin Kaituo's personality well. With great self-awareness, she preemptively refused Lin Kaituo. On the other side, Jia Yin fell in love with Lu Peng at first sight at Haida University.
She came to the affiliated high school by herself on the weekend and asked others for Lu Peng's phone number, introducing herself as Lu Peng's girlfriend. However, Jia Yin and Li Sicheng had developed animosity because of a basin of water before. They would argue fiercely every time they met. But Li Sicheng happened to be Lu Peng's uncle, and Lu Peng was currently living under his roof at Li Sicheng's home. Seeing Li Sicheng's dark face, Lu Peng was puzzled, wondering who had made Li Sicheng look this way.
Episode 11 Recap
Xia Miaomiao and A Xia found a book in the library. It was written in the book that if you silently repeat someone's name nine times in your heart, the other person will appear, and if you then call out their name, they will like you. He Xin shook her head and sighed lightly, thinking the superstition in the book was not credible, but Liang Younian appeared in the library at this moment.
Xia Miaomiao mustered up all her courage but still couldn't call out Liang Younian's name. A Xia and He Xin left disappointed, leaving only Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian in the library to do homework. Xia Miaomiao's mind wasn't on her homework; she was only thinking about Liang Younian's name. When she called out Liang Younian's name, Liang Younian was surprised and taken aback. Xia Miaomiao had to quickly use a tongue twister to cover up the embarrassment.
Haida University organized a club mixer. A Xia helped He Xin put on makeup. He Xin, with a young girl's secret thoughts, sat next to Lin Kaituo. He Xin wanted Lin Kaituo to see how beautiful she was today. Lin Kaituo carefully observed the tear mole He Xin had drawn and straightforwardly thought it was eye boogers in He Xin's eye corner that hadn't been wiped clean. This mixer was divided into two segments. The first segment was fun games.
Everyone gained happiness and satisfaction from this game, and Xia Miaomiao even won lipstick as a prize. The second segment was group teams. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo were grouped together. They lost the game and were locked in a closet. The two faced each other, mutually blaming each other and looking like they didn't want to bother with each other. Xia Miaomiao kept silently wishing in her heart for Liang Younian to open the door.
Liang Younian lived up to Xia Miaomiao's unspoken wish; he quickly found Xia Miaomiao and let her out. Xia Miaomiao left with Liang Younian. Her major assignment this time was returned by Li Sicheng to be redrawn, so she followed Liang Younian to the sophomore model classroom to draw. Originally, Xia Miaomiao thought she could have time alone with Liang Younian, but Wang Yichao appeared in the classroom holding a cup of cola, interrupting Xia Miaomiao's expectations.
Wang Yichao stayed in the model classroom for a long time. After he left, Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian were still engrossed in drawing. It was already midnight when they were only halfway done drawing. Seeing Xia Miaomiao looking like she couldn't keep her eyes open, Liang Younian took Xia Miaomiao to the teaching building balcony to get some air. The cold wind instantly sobered them up. Xia Miaomiao looked at the star-studded night sky.
She wrote down Liang Younian's name stroke by stroke towards the sky, making a wish for him. Liang Younian had a smile on his face and also wrote down Xia Miaomiao's name towards the sky, hoping her major assignment this time wouldn't have to be redrawn. Afterwards, the two returned to the classroom to continue drawing. They stayed up all night until they finished the major assignment. Jia Yin came with a document for Li Sicheng to sign.
Her arrogant attitude made Li Sicheng feel very dissatisfied. Li Sicheng refused to sign for Jia Yin. During their argument, Lu Peng came to get the key from Li Sicheng. Jia Yin only knew then that Li Sicheng was Lu Peng's uncle. Her attitude towards Lu Peng took a 180-degree turn, and she instantly became a gentle and demure woman. Just then, Lu Peng discovered Xia Miaomiao's assignment on the table. He picked up the assignment and flipped through it.
Jia Yin sat next to Lu Peng and chatted with him. Li Sicheng couldn't stand the sight of the two treating the office like a coffee shop to chat, so he quickly signed Jia Yin's document and told the two to go out and chat. After the two left the office, Jia Yin eagerly asked Lu Peng for his phone number. Facing this exceptionally outgoing girl, Lu Peng felt a bit overwhelmed.
Episode 12 Recap
Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo went to the classroom to study at the same time. Although Lin Kaituo was naturally gifted, he still needed to put in the time to study if he wanted to get a scholarship to pay for tuition. Xia Miaomiao was very surprised that Lin Kaituo needed to pay his own tuition. Lin Kaituo didn't care at all, he didn't want to use the Liang family's money from the bottom of his heart.
Since Lin Kaituo was studying in this classroom, Xia Miaomiao was very self-aware and wanted to choose another classroom, but Lin Kaituo stopped Xia Miaomiao and stared at Xia Miaomiao studying. Xia Miaomiao made mistakes in her homework repeatedly, and Lin Kaituo knocked Xia Miaomiao on the head while scolding Xia Miaomiao for being stupid. Liang Younian, who was passing by, noticed the movement of the two, and he came in to help Xia Miaomiao highlight the key points.
The arrogant Lin Kaituo didn't want to pay attention to Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao knew about the grudges between the two, so she took Lin Kaituo's book and prepared to help the unwilling Lin Kaituo highlight the key points. The two's playful behavior fell into Liang Younian's eyes, and Liang Younian felt a burst of discomfort in his heart.
In the final exam of Chinese and foreign architectural history, Lin Kaituo and Xia Miaomiao became the last two to hand in their papers. When Xia Miaomiao handed in her paper, she accidentally dropped a book with Lin Kaituo's photo in it. The photo fell out and was seen by Lin Kaituo. This photo was dropped by He Xin in the cafeteria, and Xia Miaomiao picked it up for He Xin.
Lin Kaituo didn't know about He Xin taking the photo secretly. Xia Miaomiao righteously claimed that she picked up the photo. She returned the photo to Lin Kaituo without explaining too much. Lin Kaituo looked at Xia Miaomiao's figure, and a light flashed in his eyes. After being classmates with Xia Miaomiao for so many years, the distance between Xia Miaomiao and him was getting closer and closer without him realizing it.
The winter vacation started, He Xin borrowed money from Liang Younian to buy an electric scooter of the same model as Lin Kaituo. She was preparing to go home with Lin Kaituo together on a couple's electric scooter. A Xia thought that He Xin's idea was not romantic enough. She told He Xin not to fully charge the scooter, so that when her scooter ran out of power, she could justifiably ask Lin Kaituo to give her a ride home.
Unexpectedly, He Xin acted according to the plan. Although her scooter ran out of power, no matter how she called Lin Kaituo's name, Lin Kaituo didn't respond at all and just kept driving straight ahead. Feeling frustrated, He Xin chose to give up. She parked her scooter by the side of the road and prepared to take the subway back, but Lin Kaituo suddenly descended from the sky, appearing in front of her again to take her home.
The frustration in He Xin's heart was replaced by sweetness, and a smile bloomed on her face. Listening to He Xin's couple's scooter plan, Xia Miaomiao was envious. She also wanted to go home with Liang Younian. A Xia came up with an idea for Xia Miaomiao. She took Xia Miaomiao to pretend to accidentally run into Liang Younian, and then handed Xia Miaomiao over to Liang Younian, asking Liang Younian to take care of Xia Miaomiao, who gets carsick.
Xia Miaomiao followed the plan that A Xia had given her. She prepared to count sheep and pretend to fall asleep, leaning on Liang Younian's body, but Liang Younian didn't play by the rules. He listened to the music in his headphones and fell asleep, drowsily leaning on Xia Miaomiao's shoulder. The two went home together. Lin Kaituo took first place in the architecture department.
Xia Miaomiao was envious when she heard the news, and she also learned from He Xin that the Liang family was going to Harbin for the Chinese New Year. Afterwards, Liang Younian saw bowls made of coconuts at a stall in front of Wang Yichao's shop. He took the initiative to ask to process them for the old man at the stall.
He, who had drawn countless lighthouses, kept looking towards the side of the road until Xia Miaomiao's figure appeared. Lin Kaituo then stopped the pen in his hand and gave the coconut bowl with the lighthouse on it to Xia Miaomiao. The young man's hidden thoughts were self-evident but he didn't realize it. On the other side, Lin Kaituo's high scholarship arrived, and Liang's mother questioned Lin Kaituo, causing the mother and son to quarrel.
Episode 13 Recap
Lin Kaituo threw a tantrum and refused to go on the trip, so the Liang family's travel plan had to be canceled. Coincidentally, He Xin's parents weren't home on New Year's Eve, so she invited Xia Miaomiao and Wang Yichao to the Liang family's house. Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian were initially welcoming Wang Yichao's arrival, but He Xin and Xia Miaomiao kept showing up one after another to celebrate the New Year together.
When Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian saw Xia Miaomiao, their expressions immediately relaxed, and they decided to let bygones be bygones and celebrate the New Year together. The four of them had a pleasant New Year's Eve. Wang Yichao brought out his family's treasured red date wine, and they secretly drank it together. They all drank until they were unconscious. Lin Kaituo, drunk, lay on the table, his hand accidentally resting on Xia Miaomiao's hand.
This scene was seen by Liang Younian, who felt uncomfortable deep down. He specifically stepped forward and moved Lin Kaituo's hand away, then took He Xin and Xia Miaomiao back to their rooms to rest separately. Xia Miaomiao slept in Liang Younian's room for one night. The next day, Liang Younian called Xia Miaomiao to get up. The two ate breakfast together, and a subtle atmosphere flowed between them.
Xia Miaomiao's gaze towards Liang Younian held a bit more girlish shyness. In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the new semester. All the students gradually returned to school. He Xin, as a journalism student, was going to take over as the anchor of a new broadcast station segment. Originally full of worry, she decided, with A Xia's reminder, to host a special confession-themed event.
This proposal was quickly approved, and He Xin began making full preparations. She reminded Xia Miaomiao beforehand to prepare a box of chocolates and take the opportunity to confess to Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao lacked confidence in her heart. A Xia and He Xin spoke words of encouragement, hoping Xia Miaomiao could be brave for Liang Younian just once. The Haida official WeChat account's post designated this week as Campus Confession Week. He Xin and Xia Miaomiao made chocolates themselves.
He Xin planned to write the four characters "I like you" on the chocolates. Xia Miaomiao didn't dare to write any characters. A Xia and He Xin decided to secretly assist. They cooperated with each other and helped Xia Miaomiao write the characters when she wasn't paying attention. Xia Miaomiao and A Xia brought the chocolates back to the dormitory. Fang Xiaoyue asked Xia Miaomiao who she was giving the chocolates to. Xia Miaomiao stammered and didn't answer.
A Xia negated it with one sentence on behalf of Xia Miaomiao. The next day, A Xia reminded Xia Miaomiao to remember to confess to Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao thought that Liang Younian didn't like sweets and wouldn't want to receive chocolate. A Xia disagreed, saying not liking to eat something and wanting to receive it are two different things. She called out to Lin Kaituo, who was passing by, and asked him about confessions.
Lin Kaituo remembered seeing his photo in Xia Miaomiao's book last time. He mistakenly thought Xia Miaomiao liked him and left in a hurry. A Xia shook her head and sighed softly, thinking that Lin Kaituo was as impolite as ever. Xia Miaomiao attended a fashion design class with A Xia under the name Yan Xiaozhen from the fashion design department. The fashion design teacher was Jia Yin. Jia Yin was impressed by Xia Miaomiao's unique design work.
Although she knew Xia Miaomiao was impersonating someone else to attend the class, she didn't blame her. Afterwards, Xia Miaomiao came with the chocolate to confess to Liang Younian. Before she could say the words, Fang Xiaoyue's arrival interrupted Xia Miaomiao's courage to confess. Xia Miaomiao hid the chocolate behind her back and left. Downstairs, Xia Miaomiao ran into Lin Kaituo, who was about to pick up a package. Lin Kaituo saw Xia Miaomiao hiding the chocolate.
He mistakenly thought Xia Miaomiao wanted to confess to him, so he wanted to take Xia Miaomiao's chocolate. While the two were pushing and shoving, they accidentally bumped into a senior student. The senior student blamed Lin Kaituo and Xia Miaomiao for being flustered. The two refuted him reasonably. The commotion of the few people attracted the attention of Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue who had just arrived.
Fang Xiaoyue also mistakenly thought that Xia Miaomiao wanted to confess to Lin Kaituo. Xia Miaomiao couldn't explain herself no matter how hard she tried. A faint look of disappointment was visible in Liang Younian's eyes. Back in the dormitory, Xia Miaomiao dejectedly said that her chocolate hadn't been given out. He Xin also sighed, having witnessed Lin Kaituo's coldness when rejecting others. She, who had always been daring, also instantly didn't dare to give out the chocolate, fearing her chocolate would be rejected and neglected.
Episode 14 Recap
Former president of the Art Club, Huang Ningqun, was preparing for a short film shoot at school over the weekend. Students who were interested could sign up with Fang Xiaoyue to participate. When Xia Miaomiao went to sign up, she was met with difficulty by Huang Ningqun. When Huang Ningqun learned that Xia Miaomiao's only role would be moving things, he decided to only let her be a set assistant.
After the meeting dispersed, Xia Miaomiao wanted to give Liang Younian the chocolate again, but Tang Mengfei got there first. Watching Liang Younian indifferently refuse Tang Mengfei, Xia Miaomiao's heart trembled. When Liang Younian heard Lin Kaituo's name from Xia Miaomiao, he became quite displeased and interrupted Xia Miaomiao before she could finish asking her question, then left coldly. Liang Younian was troubled in his heart, failing to submit his assignment for the first time since starting school.
Wang Yichao brought up the matter of Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo in the model classroom, believing it was highly possible that Xia Miaomiao was giving the chocolate to Lin Kaituo. Liang Younian, while thinking it was impossible, was inwardly troubled and tore up the drawing twice. His mind was blank, and he had no idea what to do with the drawing for a while. On Sunday, Huang Ningqun's short film shoot began.
At Huang Ningqun's request, Xia Miaomiao went to the convenience store to buy beer as a prop for the shoot. Only after she left did Huang Ningqun remember the quantity of beer needed, so he had to ask Liang Younian to remind Xia Miaomiao. Along the way, Xia Miaomiao ran into He Xin, who didn't dare to give out her chocolate. He Xin pulled Xia Miaomiao aside and asked Xia Miaomiao to help her deliver the chocolate to Lin Kaituo.
Xia Miaomiao completed the task as He Xin hoped, but Lin Kaituo was wearing headphones and didn't hear what Xia Miaomiao said. He mistakenly thought the chocolate was from Xia Miaomiao and happily took it. This scene was seen by Liang Younian who had just arrived. Liang Younian turned and left in disappointment.
He Xin came over to Lin Kaituo, and only then did Lin Kaituo realize the chocolate was from He Xin, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes as well. Xia Miaomiao returned carrying a dozen beers. Huang Ningqun looked confused because Liang Younian had already bought a case and returned. Facing Huang Ningqun's question, Liang Younian just casually said he didn't run into her. Afterward, Xia Miaomiao was asked to take off her glasses to be in the shot.
She accidentally cut into Huang Ningqun's cake and was scolded by him. Liang Younian subtly helped Xia Miaomiao out of the situation. Feeling wronged, Xia Miaomiao decided to book an appointment for near-sightedness surgery. After the shoot was completed, Huang Ningqun apologized to Xia Miaomiao for his irritability during work. He brought up the girl he liked, Lü Jingjing, and was planning to confess to her, but Xia Miaomiao regretfully told Huang Ningqun that Lü Jingjing already had a boyfriend.
Huang Ningqun felt sad. He told Xia Miaomiao from his personal experience that if you meet someone you like, you must seize the opportunity well, and don't wait until you've missed it to regret it. Xia Miaomiao came to help Liang Younian clean up the set. Liang Younian was initially indifferent to Xia Miaomiao, but after overhearing Xia Miaomiao's phone call with He Xin, he instantly understood that the chocolate Xia Miaomiao had was He Xin's.
Thus, he began to smile at Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao took the opportunity to give the chocolate to Liang Younian. Liang Younian accepted Xia Miaomiao's chocolate, and the two opened it together. Xia Miaomiao sharp-sightedly saw the five characters "Be my boyfriend" written on the chocolate. She reacted extremely quickly and ate the piece of chocolate with the character "ç”·" (Boy). Liang Younian did not receive Xia Miaomiao's confession. Xia Miaomiao had near-sightedness surgery.
He Xin and A Xia had originally agreed to come pick up Xia Miaomiao, but when Xia Miaomiao came out after the surgery, there was no one there. She sat alone on a bench waiting, and it turned out she waited for Liang Younian. Liang Younian gently put eye patches on Xia Miaomiao for her and took her back to school. Afterward, when Liang Younian was about to submit his model assignment, he ran into Jia Yin.
Jia Yin took Liang Younian's model and asked him to be the male lead in her play. Liang Younian refused to agree. While the two were at a stalemate, Li Sichen walked by. Liang Younian quickly explained the situation and slipped away. Li Sichen and Jia Yin already disliked each other, so he immediately demanded that Jia Yin return Liang Younian's model assignment without further ado.
Episode 15 Recap
During her argument with Li Sichen, Jia Yin scratched her arm. She was primarily concerned about Liang Younian's model assignment. Li Sichen was quite surprised by Jia Yin's actions. As a teacher, Jia Yin knew very well the importance of a student's work. Because of this, Li Sichen's opinion of Jia Yin changed somewhat. Afterward, Liang Younian prepared to talk to Jia Yin about the play, but Jia Yin announced that Liang Younian was the male lead before he could.
Unable to refuse, Liang Younian reluctantly agreed to the matter. In the evening, A Xia gave the female lead application form for the play to Xia Miaomiao, hoping she could try hard to become the female lead. The audition for the female lead began. Jia Yin explained that there was a crying scene in the play, and she asked all the students auditioning to first prepare themselves to cry.
Tang Mengfei was the first to successfully audition, becoming the first candidate. Afterward, Xia Miaomiao, with the help of A Xia's medicated oil, also shed tears profusely. Jia Yin had not expected Xia Miaomiao to be so emotional and immediately made her the second candidate. Xia Miaomiao and A Xia's little actions were noticed by Liang Younian. He did not expose them; instead, when Xia Miaomiao's eyes couldn't stay open, he secretly handed her eye drops.
On the other side, Wang Yichao diligently tried to please Fang Xiaoyue. His affection for Fang Xiaoyue was obvious, but Fang Xiaoyue remained indifferent, instead focusing all her thoughts on Liang Younian. Jia Yin finalized the selection for the female lead. The female lead was Tang Mengfei, and the understudy was Xia Miaomiao. The play began rehearsals. Jia Yin couldn't find Liang Younian, so she came to look for him herself.
Liang Younian had originally refused to play the male lead again, but upon learning that the understudy for the female lead was Xia Miaomiao, he changed his mind and was willing to go back with Jia Yin to rehearse. Liang Younian rehearsed opposite Xia Miaomiao. Liang Younian expressed his subtle feelings, using the play to secretly confess to Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao naively reached out her hand in response.
Just as the two were about to embrace, Jia Yin excitedly interrupted them, believing that Liang Younian was the destined male lead for her play. A Xia stayed up late to make clothes for Tang Mengfei to earn credits, but Tang Mengfei repeatedly found fault. A Xia would rather not have the credits than continue making clothes for Tang Mengfei.
Tang Mengfei had always been arrogant and couldn't accept A Xia's attitude, so she decided to strike first and complain to Jia Yin, saying that Xia Miaomiao was preparing to snatch her female lead position and that only one of them could stay. Tang Mengfei's attitude was very poor. Jia Yin immediately found a scene for the two of them to try out. Xia Miaomiao won against Tang Mengfei with her excellent acting skills and became the female lead.
Dressed up by A Xia, Xia Miaomiao became a beautiful princess standing before Liang Younian. However, before the two could even say a word, Jia Yin temporarily announced that the male lead had been replaced by Lin Kaituo, the understudy she had previously sought out. Xia Miaomiao's mood instantly became low. Fang Xiaoyue discovered photos of Xia Miaomiao in Liang Younian's camera. Liang Younian never took portraits.
Xia Miaomiao's heart was filled with joy upon learning that Liang Younian had taken pictures of her. However, when she flipped to the next photo, her face instantly filled with disappointment. The second photo was not of anyone else but Fang Xiaoyue, taken by Wang Yichao using Liang Younian's camera. They both mistakenly thought the photos were taken by Liang Younian, one joyful, one worried.
Episode 16 Recap
The campus play began. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo went on stage to perform. He Xin specifically rushed back to watch their performance. Xia Miaomiao searched for Liang Younian's figure on stage. As she looked up, she saw Liang Younian draping a coat over Fang Xiaoyue. Her heart couldn't help but tremble fiercely, but she still tried her best to complete her performance. In the theater, Liang Younian received a call from Li Sichen.
He had already completed the task Wang Yichao had assigned, giving Wang Yichao's clothes to Fang Xiaoyue, so he left the theater first. Before entering the venue, Liang Younian bought a bouquet of flowers intending to give it to Xia Miaomiao. Since he couldn't get to Xia Miaomiao, Liang Younian decided to have the flowers sent to Xia Miaomiao's makeup spot. Only Tang Mengfei was in the makeup room. Tang Mengfei secretly resented Xia Miaomiao in her heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she moved the flowers to Fang Xiaoyue's table, completing this swap stealthily. Li Sichen handed Liang Younian the blueprints drawn by Liang Younian's mother. Liang Younian found his father Liang Gang's name on the blueprints. He was about to call and tell Liang Gang about this, but Liang's father instead asked Liang Younian to bring Lin Kaituo back first, as he was preparing for a family photo with everyone.
Liang Younian felt disappointed in his heart, and he swallowed the unspoken words back, preparing to go find Lin Kaituo. Backstage at the play, Fang Xiaoyue received Liang Younian's flowers. Her face was full of smiles. Xia Miaomiao felt lost. Lin Kaituo re-gifted the flowers Jin Meng had given him to Xia Miaomiao, saying he was presenting the flowers on behalf of the class. Xia Miaomiao couldn't refuse and had to accept them.
This scene was seen by Liang Younian, and he felt sad in his heart. Sophomores and freshmen attended the surveying class together. Xia Miaomiao intentionally kept her distance from Liang Younian during the class. She chose to be in the same group as Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo noticed Xia Miaomiao's listless expression, so he had Xia Miaomiao come over to help him hold the ladder. Their interaction fell into Liang Younian's eyes.
Liang Younian felt irritable in his heart and coldly rejected Fang Xiaoyue's concern. Fang Xiaoyue stood in front of Liang Younian. She saw that the surveying tripod was about to fall and didn't hesitate to throw herself in front of Liang Younian, taking the heavy blow from the tripod for him. Fang Xiaoyue sprained her ankle and couldn't walk.
Liang Younian instructed Xia Miaomiao to help him pack up the surveying tools and carried Fang Xiaoyue to the hospital on his back. Afterward, Liang Younian arranged to meet Wang Yichao. He asked Wang Yichao to take Fang Xiaoyue back to the dormitory, while he himself turned around and returned to the model classroom to continue preparing the surveying data. Xia Miaomiao cried a lot after returning to the dormitory. Tang Mengfei kept provoking Xia Miaomiao.
A Xia had to take Xia Miaomiao to the playground to relax. He Xin comforted Xia Miaomiao, who was still crying. She had also felt very sad before because Lin Kaituo and Xia Miaomiao were performing in the play together, but she adjusted later. On the other side of the basketball court, Liang Younian came to find Lin Kaituo about the family photo matter. Lin Kaituo refused to take the family photo.
Liang Younian had to use his trump card, provoking Lin Kaituo into a bet. Whoever lost this surveying class had to obediently go back and take the family photo. Xia Miaomiao forgot to help Liang Younian pack up his tools yesterday. When she came over to collect the tools, Liang Younian was also there.
Hearing Liang Younian mention Fang Xiaoyue, Xia Miaomiao jealously wanted to leave, but Liang Younian brought up the changing weather, keeping Xia Miaomiao there on the grounds that it was about to rain outside. Lin Kaituo arranged to draw the surveying map with Xia Miaomiao at the library at nine o'clock. Xia Miaomiao saw that the rain was heavy and couldn't go back for a while, so she had to refuse Lin Kaituo.
Just then, a lightning strike occurred, startling Liang Younian. His mother died at a construction site on such a rainy day due to the collapse of a load-bearing wall, and the sound of thunder had become a lingering shadow for Liang Younian.
Episode 17 Recap
Liang Younian was afraid of the sound of thunder. Xia Miaomiao stayed by Liang Younian's side, accompanying him. Seeing Liang Younian's deep gaze, Xia Miaomiao paused in her heart and only handed the headphones to Liang Younian. Liang Younian's mood gradually calmed down. He told Xia Miaomiao the truth about his mother's death back then. His mother died because of an error in the surveying data, which led to the collapse of the construction site.
Therefore, he had a different kind of obsession and compulsion with data. He swore that he must calculate every single piece of data accurately. Xia Miaomiao spoke words of encouragement to Liang Younian. The two listened to the same headphones and watched the same rain scene. He Xin got soaked and came to the library to see Lin Kaituo.
Her female intuition told her that Lin Kaituo's feelings for Xia Miaomiao were unusual, so she asked Lin Kaituo about his feelings for Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo didn't say a single good word about Xia Miaomiao, but He Xin still sensed something subtle in his words. She prepared to leave. Lin Kaituo called out to He Xin and gave her his umbrella.
He Xin also gave Lin Kaituo the chocolate she had prepared for a long time as a return gift. Lin Kaituo had always refused chocolates from girls, but he only accepted He Xin's chocolate. On the way to the library, Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo ran into Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue. Seeing the way Liang Younian was helping Fang Xiaoyue, Xia Miaomiao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. The results of the surveying competition were out.
Fang Xiaoyue and Liang Younian's group won first place. Lin Kaituo lost the bet with Liang Younian, and he felt unbalanced in his heart, but Li Sichen convinced him with his social experience. The data Xia Miaomiao was responsible for this time was highly praised by Li Sichen. Immediately after the competition, she found Lin Xia to borrow books from the fashion design department. Their conversation fell into Jia Yin's ears.
Jia Yin had seen Xia Miaomiao's design work and highly praised her talent in fashion design, hoping that Xia Miaomiao could consider transferring majors and give him an answer after the Dragon Boat Festival. Xia Miaomiao came to visit Liang Gang. Liang Gang greatly praised Xia Miaomiao's academic achievements and also asked Xia Miaomiao about Liang Younian's dating life. He had previously seen messages on Liang Younian's phone from a girl surnamed Fang.
Xia Miaomiao shook her head, only saying that she was not clear about Liang Younian's affairs. As the Dragon Boat Festival holiday arrived, Xia Jiansheng took his whole family straight to the photo studio, planning to retake his and Xia's mother's wedding photos. Coincidentally, Liang Gang's family was also at the photo studio, preparing to take a family photo.
He Xin followed Lin Kaituo to the photo studio, but when she heard that Lin Kaituo was there to take a family photo, she chose to sit outside and wait for Lin Kaituo. As He Xin expected, Lin Kaituo reluctantly changed his clothes to prepare for the photo, and Liang Younian also changed into a suit. Just then, Xia Miaomiao walked out playfully, wearing a veil.
The photo studio staff mistook Xia Miaomiao for the bride and asked which of the two men in front of them was the groom. The three people's faces showed a moment of stunned surprise. Xia Miaomiao quickly reacted and immediately pulled the staff member away. Lin Kaituo came out in a bad mood after taking the family photo. He saw He Xin waiting for him at the entrance of the photo studio until she fell asleep.
For the first time ever, he offered to take He Xin home. He Xin's face showed a sweet and happy smile, but after sending He Xin home, Lin Kaituo spoke clearly with He Xin. He didn't want to accept He Xin's chocolate, and from now on, He Xin would only be like a younger sister to him. The smile on He Xin's face instantly disappeared. She watched Lin Kaituo's retreating back and tears fell.
He Xin cried loudly and came to find Xia Miaomiao, telling Xia Miaomiao everything Lin Kaituo had said. Xia Miaomiao comforted He Xin and kept her to eat at Xia Jiansheng's house. At the dinner table, Xia Miaomiao also felt very sad and distressed because of Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue. Xia Jiansheng noticed their unusually low spirits. He spoke words of comfort to the two girls, telling them the truth that love becomes stronger with setbacks.
Xia Jiansheng's words successfully comforted He Xin. Even though He Xin was the one who was rejected, she still turned around and comforted Xia Miaomiao, hoping that Xia Miaomiao would persist and not give up. Early the next morning, at Xia's mother's request, Xia Miaomiao prepared to go to the photo studio to pick up pictures. On the way, she saw Liang Younian helping Fang Xiaoyue into a hotel. She was completely shocked and stunned, and tears couldn't stop falling.
She could deceive herself into thinking that Liang Younian's kindness to Fang Xiaoyue was just an illusion. She could comfort herself about Liang Younian giving Fang Xiaoyue flowers. But the reality of Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue appearing together as a pair was something she couldn't accept. For the first time, she felt a strong sense of defeat and believed that Liang Younian liked Fang Xiaoyue, and she should give up on Liang Younian.
Little did she know that Liang Younian was accompanying Fang Xiaoyue to see a doctor for her foot today at Wang Yichao's request. After he dropped Fang Xiaoyue off, he immediately called Wang Yichao to hurry over. Wang Yichao rushed over, and Liang Younian quickly left after fulfilling Wang Yichao's request. Wang Yichao repeatedly showed his attentiveness to Fang Xiaoyue. Fang Xiaoyue was successfully amused by Wang Yichao's appearance and went home accompanied by Wang Yichao.
Episode 18 Recap
Liang's mother learned that He Xin had stayed overnight at Xia Miaomiao's house because she was in a bad mood. She came to ask Lin Kaituo about He Xin, thinking that Lin Kaituo must have bullied He Xin, and hoping that Lin Kaituo would go and apologize to He Xin. Lin Kaituo has a bad temper. He instantly got angry because of Liang's mother's accusations and pushed Liang's mother away.
Liang's mother knew she felt guilty towards Lin Kaituo, so she had always indulged Lin Kaituo. Even if Lin Kaituo's attitude was bad, even if Liang Younian wanted to stand up for Liang's mother, Liang's mother still sided with Lin Kaituo and spoke up for him. Lin Kaituo left home in a huff. Liang Younian chased after Lin Kaituo.
He apologized to Lin Kaituo for not considering his feelings back then, but Lin Kaituo still couldn't resolve the knot in his heart from back then. Lin Kaituo came alone to the neighborhood where he used to live. When he was a child, he and He Xin often played water fights with water pipes in the neighborhood. At that time, his father was still alive, but in the blink of an eye, things had changed and people were different.
Just then, He Xin called out to Lin Kaituo. She expressed her determination to Lin Kaituo, saying that no matter his attitude, she would never give up, and that she had liked him since childhood. Lin Kaituo didn't want to pay attention to He Xin. Just as he was about to leave, He Xin picked up a water pipe, and the two started a water fight in the neighborhood. As they relived their childhood fun, sincere smiles filled their faces.
Xia Miaomiao lay listlessly in bed all day. She came to the photo studio to pick up pictures and happened to run into Wang Yichao. Wang Yichao came to develop Fang Xiaoyue's photos, and he collected Fang Xiaoyue's photos as if they were treasures. Only then did Xia Miaomiao realize that she had misunderstood everything.
The first floor of Haicheng Hotel was an orthopedic clinic, the person accompanying Fang Xiaoyue today was Wang Yichao, and the photos of Fang Xiaoyue in Liang Younian's camera before were also taken by Wang Yichao. With all misunderstandings resolved, Xia Miaomiao instantly regained her smile and vitality, and her whole being seemed much more energetic. After picking up the photos, Xia Miaomiao came to the seaside to play with sparklers with her family.
Liang Younian was also in the lighthouse, watching the fireworks outside filled with festive atmosphere. Afterwards, the dejected Liang Younian hit a sandbag in the lighthouse. Xia Miaomiao also unknowingly walked to the lighthouse. After Liang Younian finished hitting the sandbag, she invited him to play with sparklers together. Amidst the shimmering fireworks, they both smiled and celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together. The first-year students embarked on a trip to an ancient town for sketching.
He Xin borrowed a camera from Xia Miaomiao, the only condition being that Xia Miaomiao help her take many photos of Lin Kaituo. When getting on the bus, Lin Kaituo had originally intended to leave the seat next to him for Xia Miaomiao, but Xia Miaomiao directly bypassed Lin Kaituo and headed straight for the back row. Second-year students were not required to participate in this activity, but Liang Younian unexpectedly appeared on the bus.
He came to Xia Miaomiao, who looked surprised and delighted, and asked her to make a seat for him. Jia Yin, who was never popular with Li Sichen, also got on the bus at the last second, preparing to go to the ancient town with the first-year students. The journey to the ancient town was long and tedious. Xia Miaomiao asked Liang Younian the reason for participating in the sketching activity. Lin Kaituo frequently paid attention to their movements.
He looked at the scene of them talking happily, his face showing displeasure, and asked them to be quieter. After arriving at the ancient town, all the students got off the bus one after another. Jia Yin saw Xia Miaomiao and once again brought up the matter of transferring majors to her, hoping that Xia Miaomiao could make a decision soon. These words were heard by Jin Meng, who had a crush on Lin Kaituo, and Liang Younian.
A glimmer flashed in Jin Meng's eyes, while Liang Younian felt complicated inside. All the students gathered together, and Li Sichen announced the activity itinerary, food, and accommodation. Everyone had free time for now, and there would be a barbecue party at 4 PM. Regarding accommodation, because there weren't enough B&Bs booked, besides Li Sichen, Xia Miaomiao, Jia Yin, Lin Kaituo, and Liang Younian also needed to stay together somewhere else. Xia Miaomiao kept He Xin's instructions firmly in mind.
She casually snapped a few photos of Lin Kaituo, but after that, she couldn't get the camera to focus properly, especially when trying to take photos of Liang Younian. Liang Younian wanted to help Xia Miaomiao focus the camera, but when he saw that Xia Miaomiao had taken photos of Lin Kaituo, he immediately returned the camera to Xia Miaomiao without a word and turned to leave alone.
Looking at Liang Younian's retreating back, Xia Miaomiao wanted to speak up and explain, but then realized she had no standing. On the other side, Lin Kaituo was preparing for the barbecue. Jin Meng came up to Lin Kaituo and told him that Xia Miaomiao was preparing to transfer to the fashion design department. Lin Kaituo felt heavy-hearted after hearing this.
He brought some barbecue to Xia Miaomiao, hoping she would not transfer majors, but Xia Miaomiao had already left by the time Lin Kaituo spoke and didn't hear anything he said at all.
Episode 19 Recap
Xia Miaomiao brought some barbecue to share with Liang Younian. Liang Younian brought up Xia Miaomiao's potential transfer, thinking she should transfer majors. Xia Miaomiao had someone she couldn't bear to leave in the architecture department, which was why she had been hesitant until now. Liang Younian felt down deep inside, mistakenly thinking the person Xia Miaomiao couldn't bear to leave was Lin Kaituo. Liang Younian was very clear about Xia Miaomiao's passion for the fashion design department.
Standing in Xia Miaomiao's shoes, he considered things from her perspective and still supported her transferring majors from the bottom of his heart. Lin Kaituo came to find Xia Miaomiao. When Xia Miaomiao got up, her shoe accidentally fell into the water. Seeing Liang Younian preparing to take off his shoes for Xia Miaomiao, Lin Kaituo immediately carried Xia Miaomiao on his back without a word and took her away.
Because Liang Younian was a few steps slower, he followed behind with a slight sense of loss. Returning to the lodging, Xia Miaomiao took out a pair of spare shoes that she had left in the dorm for a long time without wearing. Inside the shoe was a note that Fang Xiaoyue had accidentally dropped earlier. Xia Miaomiao only then realized that the bouquet of flowers Liang Younian had given her previously was for her.
She was delighted inside and rolled around on the bed several times in a row. In the middle of the night, Xia Miaomiao heard a sound outside the door. When she wanted to come out to check, she happened to run into Liang Younian. The two were preparing to go out together to investigate the situation, but Lin Kaituo unexpectedly appeared before them.
Looking at the nervous expressions of Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian leaning close together, Lin Kaituo originally thought the two were pretending there were ghosts or spirits, but then a woman's voice came from outside the house. The three quickly formed a united front and went out together cautiously to investigate, only to find that the person outside was just a dazed-looking old woman.
The task for the sketching activity was to make a model of the ancestral house they visited yesterday. Lin Kaituo, Liang Younian, and Xia Miaomiao were assigned to the same group. Lin Kaituo always had an unhappy expression on his face. He took the group leader position first and demanded that Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao cooperate with him. Liang Younian frequently paid attention to Xia Miaomiao during the group activity.
While Xia Miaomiao was out looking for landscape materials, Liang Younian asked about Lin Kaituo's feelings for Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo denied the possibility that he liked Xia Miaomiao without hesitation. In his heart, Xia Miaomiao was both stupid and clumsy. Liang Younian refuted what Lin Kaituo said about Xia Miaomiao. From the first day he met Xia Miaomiao, he felt that Xia Miaomiao was both cute and kind.
Jia Yin was searching for a lost embroidery technique in the ancient town. She finally found an old grandmother who knew this embroidery technique, but the old grandmother got lost. The old grandmother's son hurriedly went out to look for her. It turned out this old grandmother was the old woman Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao encountered last night. When Xia Miaomiao went out to look for landscape materials, she met the old grandmother again.
She took the old grandmother back to the ancient house. The old grandmother mistakenly thought Lin Kaituo was her lover, Yuan Ge, thought Liang Younian was her son, Nian Nian, and thought Xia Miaomiao was her daughter-in-law. She absolutely refused to leave. The old grandmother's son was helpless and could only ask the group to take care of her. The old grandmother stayed by Lin Kaituo's side, watching him.
Jia Yin showed great solicitude towards the old grandmother, hoping she could teach her the embroidery technique, but the old grandmother was fully focused on Lin Kaituo and was unwilling to pass on the embroidery technique to outsiders. Xia Miaomiao, Lin Kaituo, and Liang Younian cooked together. Liang Younian watched the small interactions between Xia Miaomiao and Lin Kaituo. He was extremely jealous inside.
Even when Xia Miaomiao wanted Liang Younian to make egg dumplings, Liang Younian refused to pay attention to Xia Miaomiao. It wasn't until after Xia Miaomiao was called away by Jia Yin that Liang Younian started working, preparing to make a dish of egg dumplings that Lin Kaituo had just made. Xia Miaomiao returned to the lodging. Jia Yin had also invited the old grandmother over. Now the old grandmother mistakenly thought Xia Miaomiao was her daughter-in-law.
Hearing that Xia Miaomiao wanted to learn the embroidery technique, the old grandmother taught it to Xia Miaomiao without a second thought. During lunch, Xia Miaomiao wanted Liang Younian to sit in the seat next to her, but Lin Kaituo sat next to Xia Miaomiao one step ahead of Liang Younian. Before Lin Kaituo's seat was even warm, the old grandmother pulled Lin Kaituo to the other side with a yank. Liang Younian sat next to Xia Miaomiao.
Xia Miaomiao mentioned to Liang Younian that she planned to use embroidery techniques on the model landscape, embroidering a ginkgo tree that was very significant to the old grandmother. Liang Younian agreed with Xia Miaomiao's idea. He wanted Xia Miaomiao to taste the egg dumplings he made, but Xia Miaomiao was completely focused on the model landscape and didn't notice the egg dumplings at all. Liang Younian felt a slight sense of disappointment inside.
Liang Younian was responsible for the blueprint design. Lin Kaituo arbitrarily modified the blueprint while building the model, causing the model to collapse. Liang Younian sternly reprimanded Lin Kaituo for his willfulness. Lin Kaituo looked at the classmates around waiting to watch the show. Feeling like he was losing face, he retorted to Liang Younian and left in a huff.
Episode 20 Recap
Lin Kaituo returned after his anger subsided. He, for the first time ever, suggested working on the model with Liang Younian. The two collaborated again after a long time, showing a kind of tacit understanding in their actions. After the model was finished, Xia Miaomiao also placed the embroidered turf she had prepared onto it. A lifelike model of the ancient house was thus created. The ancient house was about to be demolished.
To help the old grandmother preserve a dream, Jia Yin had Lin Kaituo put on a military uniform and deliver the model to the old grandmother. Looking at the ginkgo tree on the model, the old grandmother couldn't help but shed tears, continuously thanking the young people in front of her. Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo took the old grandmother home. Jia Yin talked with Xia Miaomiao.
She knew that Xia Miaomiao liked Liang Younian and that her hesitation to transfer majors was also because of Liang Younian. For years, Xia Miaomiao had humbly pursued Liang Younian, fearing that she would grow further away from him after transferring majors. Jia Yin shook her head in disagreement. She believed that Xia Miaomiao shouldn't always be chasing after Liang Younian. She should have her own brilliant life instead of giving up her dreams for Liang Younian.
Li Sichen took great pains to find embroidery videos for Jia Yin. Jia Yin was very excited when she saw the embroidery videos and quickly asked Li Sichen to send them to her. Li Sichen nodded in agreement but said nothing about the effort he had put into finding the videos for Jia Yin, only claiming that he happened to see someone embroering on the street and recorded it casually.
The sketching activity had ended, and everyone was packing their luggage to leave. Xia Miaomiao made the bravest decision of her life; she decided to transfer majors and pursue her own dream. Studying architecture with Liang Younian was the happiest thing for her, but it was also time for her to say goodbye to Liang Younian in the architecture department.
At Haida University, when Liang Younian saw the major transfer application submitted by Xia Miaomiao, he was genuinely happy for her from the bottom of his heart. Li Sichen was not surprised by Xia Miaomiao's decision. He informed Xia Miaomiao about the university's regulations for major transfers: Xia Miaomiao must self-study all first-year courses in the fashion design department and successfully complete the department's major assignment and final exam to be eligible for the transfer.
If Xia Miaomiao failed the fashion design department's final exam, she would have to retake the first-year architecture courses next year. Xia Miaomiao was already mentally prepared. Li Sichen no longer tried to dissuade Xia Miaomiao and simply wished her success in transferring majors. The news of Xia Miaomiao preparing to transfer majors reached Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo called Xia Miaomiao in a panicked manner. He, who had always been arrogant, spoke up to ask Xia Miaomiao to stay again.
However, Xia Miaomiao didn't know Lin Kaituo's true feelings. She only thought Lin Kaituo looked down on her and was sure she wouldn't succeed in transferring majors. Without a word, she hung up Lin Kaituo's call and told him to just wait and see. The major assignment for the fashion design department was to make a men's jacket. All the male mannequins in the fashion design classroom were already in use.
A Xia had no choice but to take Xia Miaomiao to find Wang Yichao, who was also in the fashion design department, and hired him as a human model for a payment of 10 yuan per hour. Wang Yichao modeled for a short while, then he called Liang Younian to come and take his place, leaving Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao behind. Liang Younian served as Xia Miaomiao's human model. She stood very close to measure his body shape.
Liang Younian's heart pounded, and his face showed a look of awkwardness. Even while doing homework at night, he frequently recalled the moment Xia Miaomiao got close to him. Liang Younian modeled for Xia Miaomiao for a day. Wang Yichao came to ask Liang Younian for the payment.
Liang Younian didn't give Wang Yichao the money but instead made a deal with him: he would continue to model for Xia Miaomiao tomorrow, and Wang Yichao could participate in the art club activities with Fang Xiaoyue, but he needed to get the notes from a top first-year student in the fashion design department for Xia Miaomiao.
Episode 21 Recap
Wang Yichao invited Liang Younian to buy 3D movie tickets. Liang Younian refused without hesitation because he couldn't watch 3D movies. At the same time, Lin Kaituo also bought movie tickets with Wang Yichao. He asked Xia Miaomiao to watch the movie together, hoping she wouldn't transfer majors. Xia Miaomiao, who was studying, didn't want to be disturbed by Lin Kaituo. She refused him without hesitation, hoping he wouldn't bother her studying anymore.
Looking at Lin Kaituo's face full of anger, Xia Miaomiao looked bewildered. When Lin Kaituo left the library, he happened to bump into He Xin. Lin Kaituo hoped He Xin could persuade Xia Miaomiao not to transfer majors. He Xin's heart skipped a beat, but she still didn't say anything. Being sharp-minded, she understood Lin Kaituo's intentions when she saw the two movie tickets he had dropped. Wang Yichao successfully joined the art club and drew with Fang Xiaoyue.
Fang Xiaoyue found Wang Yichao's drawing ugly, but when she turned her head, she saw Liang Younian taking photos of Xia Miaomiao. Liang Younian never took portraits, but Xia Miaomiao was an exception. Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but have some guesses in her heart. She asked Liang Younian to watch a movie together, but he refused again without hesitation. Fang Xiaoyue was filled with disappointment. Meanwhile, Wang Yichao wanted to pursue Fang Xiaoyue.
He used Liang Younian's name to ask Fang Xiaoyue to have dinner together and planned to watch a movie with her, but Fang Xiaoyue was slow to agree. Lin Kaituo didn't want Xia Miaomiao to transfer majors. Since the He Xin route didn't work, he had to use movie tickets to bribe Lin Xia, hoping she could persuade Xia Miaomiao to drop the idea of transferring majors.
Lin Xia pointed out that even if Xia Miaomiao decided not to transfer majors because of someone else, it would be because of Liang Younian, not Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo's temper instantly flared up, and he didn't continue to stop Xia Miaomiao from transferring majors. The matter of the movie tickets made several people have their own thoughts. He Xin fell into deep thought holding Lin Kaituo's two movie tickets and finally invited Fang Xiaoyue to watch the movie together.
While the two watched the movie, Fang Xiaoyue learned the truth about Liang Younian getting dizzy from 3D movies from He Xin. A glimmer of hope arose in her heart but was soon shattered. Wang Yichao had photos of Fang Xiaoyue saved on his phone. Fang Xiaoyue accidentally found out that the photos of her in Liang Younian's camera were all taken by Wang Yichao. Liang Younian's heart was always focused on Xia Miaomiao.
Outside the model classroom, Xia Miaomiao shyly invited Liang Younian to watch a movie together. Liang Younian, who normally didn't watch 3D movies, nodded in agreement without hesitation at Xia Miaomiao's invitation. He specifically made time, enduring all discomfort, to accompany Xia Miaomiao through the entire movie. Xia Miaomiao successfully passed the fashion design department's final exam and became a sophomore in the fashion design department. Haida University and other universities were about to hold a joint sports meet.
Tang Mengfei was elected as a candidate for Haida University's marching band commander, and Jia Yin became the instructor for the candidates. He Xin was also a candidate for the marching band commander. He Xin saw Lin Kaituo looking unhappy on the basketball court. She brought up the matter of Lin Kaituo giving Xia Miaomiao movie tickets. Lin Xia, being shrewd, said she also had a bunch of movie tickets from Lin Kaituo.
Hearing that Lin Kaituo didn't give the tickets only to Xia Miaomiao, He Xin felt a little happy inside, but she still kept a stern face towards Lin Kaituo. Tang Mengfei showed unusual attentiveness towards Lin Kaituo. He Xin looked angry and wanted to rush forward, but Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia quickly pulled her back. The group was knocked down by a sudden scooter. Lin Kaituo rushed to Xia Miaomiao's side first.
Xia Miaomiao immediately said she was fine and told Lin Kaituo to pay more attention to He Xin. Seeing that He Xin was hit and couldn't stand up, Lin Kaituo immediately carried He Xin to the infirmary without a second thought. Although He Xin's ankle was painful, her face was still full of a happy smile, and she gestured towards Tang Mengfei, who had an injured arm. Both Tang Mengfei and He Xin were injured.
Although He Xin was not seriously hurt, she decided to keep up the act to make Lin Kaituo feel concerned for her. She recommended Xia Miaomiao to Jia Yin as the third candidate. Xia Miaomiao began her long journey of practicing throwing the commander's baton. At the same time, Wang Yichao's pursuit of Fang Xiaoyue had made no progress. Liang Younian mercilessly mocked Wang Yichao. Wang Yichao saw Liang Younian's subtle feelings for Xia Miaomiao. He countered Liang Younian, saying that Liang Younian wasn't even sure what his feelings for Xia Miaomiao were, at least he was clear about his own feelings.
Episode 22 Recap
He Xin deliberately worsened her injury, hoping that Lin Kaituo would feel more concerned for her. However, Lin Kaituo saw through He Xin's little trick at a glance. He only agreed to help He Xin walk. When the two passed by the playground, they met Xia Miaomiao who was looking for her baton. Lin Kaituo helped Xia Miaomiao retrieve the baton.
He originally wanted to show off for Xia Miaomiao, but Xia Miaomiao mercilessly mocked Lin Kaituo and told He Xin to take Lin Kaituo and leave first. Xia Miaomiao practiced the baton day and night. Liang Younian kept watching Xia Miaomiao from the window. He noticed Xia Miaomiao's unusual behavior and rushed out to help Xia Miaomiao pick up the baton hanging on the tree. By the tree, the two found a cute stray dog.
Xia Miaomiao took the dog back to the dormitory, planning to raise the dog while looking for a good home for it. After discovering his special attention towards Xia Miaomiao, Liang Younian had been distracted, thinking about Xia Miaomiao while revising drawings in his mind. He Xin was outside for an interview, and Lin Kaituo came to pick up He Xin, whose foot was injured.
Although he seemed impatient with He Xin, he still cared for her from the bottom of his heart. The scene of the two leaving together from downstairs of the dormitory was seen by Tang Mengfei. A hint of jealousy surged in Tang Mengfei's eyes. She immediately had someone look up Lin Kaituo's number and secretly told Lin Kaituo about He Xin's fake injury. Lin Kaituo questioned He Xin after receiving the message.
He hated being deceived the most, so He Xin had no choice but to admit it. Watching Lin Kaituo leave in front of her, her tears couldn't help but fall. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian were eating in the cafeteria. He Xin called Xia Miaomiao, hoping Xia Miaomiao could come pick her up, as she didn't have her wallet with her. It was almost dark outside. Liang Younian proactively offered to go with Xia Miaomiao.
The two took a taxi to pick up He Xin. He Xin leaned on Liang Younian's shoulder with a sad face, afraid that Lin Kaituo would ignore her because of this. Liang Younian comforted He Xin. On the other side, Xia Miaomiao fell asleep and leaned on Liang Younian's shoulder. As Xia Miaomiao got closer and touched him, Liang Younian confirmed in his heart that he liked Xia Miaomiao. He had already fallen for Xia Miaomiao.
Xia Miaomiao successfully threw and caught the baton. She shone brightly at the sports meet. When passing by Liang Younian, Xia Miaomiao had a confident smile on her face. She had been chasing after Liang Younian's footsteps since high school, and finally, one day, she could stand confidently beside Liang Younian. Liang Younian also raised the camera in his hand to take photos of Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao in his lens was confident and beautiful, radiating brilliance.
Liang Younian participated in a competition, but he couldn't get first place in the preliminary round. Li Sichen found Liang Younian for a talk, hoping Liang Younian could change his old habits. He only saw the word "safety" in Liang Younian's work, completely lacking any sense of innovation.
Episode 23 Recap
Liang Younian was seriously drawing. Wang Yichao kept bothering him. Seeing Liang Younian's obsessive look while drawing, Wang Yichao shook his head and sighed softly, reminding Liang Younian that he must seize the tail end of college to have a twilight romance. He wanted to teach Liang Younian the secret, but Liang Younian didn't pay attention to Wang Yichao. When leaving the model classroom, Liang Younian happened to meet He Xin who came looking for Lin Kaituo.
He Xin was disheartened because Lin Kaituo ignored her. She casually asked Liang Younian about confessing feelings. Xia Miaomiao's face appeared in Liang Younian's mind. He honestly told He Xin that if he liked someone, he would wait for the best moment to confess. Looking at Liang Younian's gentle expression, He Xin shook her head, thinking that Liang Younian's top priority should be to first meet a girl who makes his heart pound.
Liang Younian was busy participating in a design competition. Xia Miaomiao hadn't seen him for a long time and felt a bit of longing in her heart. In her free time, she carried the dog Niannian to the rooftop, but unexpectedly met Liang Younian who was drawing design drafts on the rooftop. Liang Younian asked for the dog's name. Xia Miaomiao was afraid Liang Younian would discover her little secret, so she named Niannian something with a similar sound, Zhannian.
The two stayed on the rooftop for a long time. Just as they were about to leave, they found the rooftop door was locked. Xia Miaomiao was anxious to go back and get her package. Although Liang Younian wanted to stay with Xia Miaomiao a little longer, seeing Xia Miaomiao's anxious look, he cleverly used props nearby to unlock it and let Xia Miaomiao go back first.
Xia Miaomiao got the chalk powder she had been waiting for, but it was shattered into pieces due to the courier's rough handling. Xia Miaomiao didn't want to hold the courier accountable for anything, but Lin Xia righteously took Xia Miaomiao's phone, planning to complain about a courier named Lin Weiguo. Lin Kaituo, who was nearby, heard the name Lin Weiguo. His face changed instantly, and he got up and left without saying a word.
Lin Weiguo was none other than his biological father whom he had met on the street before, but who hadn't even been willing to leave a phone number. Liang Younian had no source of inspiration for designing the children's park. Xia Miaomiao took Liang Younian's words to heart. She took Liang Younian to an amusement park to experience it during the weekend, hoping to help him. Before they could start having fun, Lin Xia called.
The school was conducting a surprise inspection of pets in the dorms. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian had to rush back to school to take Niannian out. Xia Miaomiao took Niannian home, hoping Huang Ningqun could accept Niannian. But Huang Ningqun was sulking because Xia Miaomiao had secretly changed her major. She refused to accept Niannian. Xia Miaomiao had no choice but to take Niannian with Liang Younian to the lighthouse to think of other ways to settle him.
Inside the lighthouse, Xia Miaomiao had a gloomy look. Liang Younian only then realized that Xia Miaomiao had not discussed changing her major with her family. He encouraged and comforted Xia Miaomiao, telling her to be more considerate of Huang Ningqun and to take the initiative to reconcile with Huang Ningqun when she got home. When it got dark, Xia Miaomiao still hadn't returned home for dinner.
Huang Ningqun learned from Xia Yao Yao that Xia Miaomiao had gone out with Liang Younian. She guessed in her heart that Xia Miaomiao was dating but hadn't told her family anything. At this time, Xia Miaomiao came home. She apologized to Huang Ningqun about secretly changing her major. Learning fashion design was her lifelong dream, and she was afraid Huang Ningqun would disagree, which was why she hid it from her.
Huang Ningqun was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Seeing Xia Miaomiao's conciliatory attitude, Huang Ningqun still forgave Xia Miaomiao and didn't continue being angry. During dinner, Xia Miaomiao received a call from Lin Kaituo. She went out to meet Lin Kaituo. Huang Ningqun and Xia Yao Yao gossiped and secretly followed behind Xia Miaomiao. Xia Yao Yao recognized at a glance that Lin Kaituo was not the boy who had brought Xia Miaomiao home that day.
When the two wanted to follow further, they were discovered by Xia Miaomiao and had to give up and go home. Lin Kaituo and Xia Miaomiao sat together on the steps. Lin Kaituo mentioned that his biological father had returned but refused to give him his phone number. He was hesitant, not knowing whether he should contact his father. Xia Miaomiao encouraged Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo summoned the courage and made up his mind. He asked Xia Miaomiao to help him contact his biological father, Lin Weiguo, and arranged a time and place to meet tomorrow.
Episode 24 Recap
Xia Miaomiao gave Liang Younian a shirt in the lighthouse. Liang Younian happily accepted it. Afterwards, the two discovered Niannian was missing and split up to search. Meanwhile, Lin Kaituo came to see Lin Weiguo. He wanted to know why Lin Weiguo was in Hai City delivering packages. Lin Weiguo lied, claiming he had just returned to this job because his business failed.
Seeing Lin Weiguo hastily wanting to leave, Lin Kaituo stepped forward and pulled him, hoping Lin Weiguo could explain things clearly on the spot. As the two were shoving, Lin Weiguo accidentally fell into the lake. Lin Kaituo hurriedly jumped into the lake to rescue him. Their commotion attracted the attention of surrounding students. Liang Younian also saw the commotion as he passed by. Without a second thought, he jumped into the lake and rescued the two.
Lin Weiguo was not seriously injured, but Liang Younian had some minor leg injuries. Because of this incident, Lin Kaituo resolved his knot with Liang Younian. He thanked Liang Younian, and the two smiled, letting go of their grievances, their relationship reconciling as before. Liang Younian came to the Xia family's house to find Xia Miaomiao.
Xia Miaomiao hadn't found Niannian yet, and her face was full of anxiety, but she was surprised to find that Liang Younian had changed into the shirt she made herself. Just then, Xia's mother (Huang Ningqun) and Xia Yao Yao came back holding Niannian. It turned out that Xia's mother (Huang Ningqun) wanted to give Xia Miaomiao a little surprise, so she had picked Niannian up earlier but hadn't told Xia Miaomiao.
Seeing the handsome and talented Liang Younian before her, Xia's mother (Huang Ningqun) was very enthusiastic and genuinely approved of Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao as a couple. The members participating in the design competition gathered for class. Wang Yichao secretly came to find Fang Xiaoyue, but Fang Xiaoyue was unwilling to pay attention to him. Wang Yichao awkwardly looked to Liang Younian and Lin Kaituo for help, but surprisingly, the two unexpectedly colluded and didn't help him.
Wang Yichao was very surprised to see them like this, realizing they had reconciled. Afterwards, the three of them prepared to go to the model classroom to study, but a notice about disinfection was posted on the classroom door, prohibiting anyone from entering. Liang Younian's sharp eyes spotted Xia Miaomiao and He Xin through the crack in the door. He understood Xia Miaomiao's meaning and quickly covered for Xia Miaomiao, taking Wang Yichao and Lin Kaituo to play basketball instead.
Lin Kaituo's birthday was approaching. He Xin wanted to prepare a surprise for his birthday so that Lin Kaituo could forgive her. She decorated the party scene in the model classroom with Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia. While Xia Miaomiao went to the convenience store to buy thumbtacks because they didn't have enough props, she accidentally overheard a conversation between two people from society.
They were planning to intercept Lin Kaituo at Haida University and use his photo to scare Lin Weiguo. Since it concerned Lin Kaituo, Xia Miaomiao paid special attention. As soon as she came out of the convenience store, she saw Lin Kaituo and Wang Yichao walking towards her. Being clever, Xia Miaomiao pulled Lin Kaituo away, fearing any mishap might befall him. After hearing what Xia Miaomiao said, Lin Kaituo planned to go back and find those two people.
He couldn't contact Lin Weiguo now and was very worried. Wang Yichao and Xia Miaomiao were afraid Lin Kaituo would be in danger, so the two voluntarily accompanied him. However, the two people had already left, so Xia Miaomiao had no choice but to return to school first. He Xin created an opportunity for Xia Miaomiao. She asked Xia Miaomiao to go shopping at the supermarket with Liang Younian.
Xia Miaomiao happily agreed and went on a sweet shopping trip with Liang Younian. In the supermarket, Liang Younian took a fancy to an expensive chessboard. He originally wanted to buy it directly, but Xia Miaomiao remembered He Xin's requirement to control the budget and refused to let Liang Younian buy it. Since it was Xia Miaomiao's request, Liang Younian had no choice but to agree without hesitation.
Although he liked the chessboard very much, he still put it back as Xia Miaomiao requested. On the other side, Wang Yichao was entrusted by Lin Xia to be the party planner. Fang Xiaoyue also came to decorate the classroom at He Xin's request. The two were alone in the room. Fang Xiaoyue was anxious to go home, but Wang Yichao kept having problems, only wanting to spend more time with Fang Xiaoyue. Lin Weiguo arranged to meet Lin Kaituo.
He refused to tell Lin Kaituo anything, only hoping that Lin Kaituo would study hard and not have any contact or involvement with him. The whereabouts of the two were known by the two people from society from before. They demanded a debt of over 50,000 yuan from Lin Weiguo.
Lin Kaituo, without a word, took out 10,000 yuan from his card and gave it to Lin Weiguo to pay them first, saying he would figure out a way for the remaining 40,000 yuan. Lin Weiguo was unwilling to use Lin Kaituo's money. He begged the two people to give him a little more time, promising he would gather all the money to pay them back.
He said he hadn't raised Lin Kaituo for a single day since he was little, and he couldn't possibly spend his child's money when he was down and out. The two people were moved by Lin Weiguo's words and agreed to give him ten days. If Lin Weiguo couldn't repay the money after ten days, they would go directly to Haida University to find Lin Kaituo.
Episode 25 Recap
He Xin originally wanted to prepare a surprise for Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo arrived at the model classroom first. He only saw Xia Miaomiao and mistakenly thought that the birthday party was prepared by Xia Miaomiao. However, Xia Miaomiao clearly told Lin Kaituo that the birthday party was prepared by He Xin, including the expensive basketball, which He Xin saved money to buy. Lin Kaituo's joy turned to disappointment in a second.
The others also arrived at the model classroom at this time. He Xin held a cake and wished Lin Kaituo a happy birthday. She hoped that Lin Kaituo could forgive her for pretending to be injured. He Xin was full of sincerity. Even if Lin Kaituo was still angry, he forgave He Xin. The group played games together in the model classroom. Xia Miaomiao secretly called Liang Younian.
She gave the chessboard she bought at the supermarket to Liang Younian as a gift. Liang Younian was delighted and played chess with Xia Miaomiao. Afterwards, Xia Miaomiao accidentally spilled her drink on her clothes. Liang Younian, fearing that Xia Miaomiao would catch a cold, took off his own clothes without hesitation and put them on Xia Miaomiao. Seeing the interaction between the two, Lin Kaituo was jealous.
He mustered his courage from the alcohol and stepped forward to confess his love to Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao rejected Lin Kaituo without hesitation. Lin Kaituo's confession caught He Xin off guard. She shed tears and ran away. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia quickly chased after He Xin. He Xin couldn't talk to Xia Miaomiao calmly. The person she had liked for so many years had fallen in love with her best friend. She couldn't accept it.
Seeing He Xin's almost collapsed appearance, Xia Miaomiao also felt uncomfortable. He Xin left, and Lin Xia chased after her to accompany her. Liang Younian also stayed by Xia Miaomiao's side, gently accompanying the constantly crying Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo got drunk and fell asleep on the sofa. Liang Younian sent Xia Miaomiao back to the dormitory and then returned to the classroom. Wang Yichao didn't expect Xia Miaomiao to reject someone so harshly.
He told Liang Younian to be mentally prepared. Liang Younian's heart skipped a beat, fearing that his confession would end up like Lin Kaituo's. The next day, Liang Younian brought breakfast for Lin Kaituo. He clearly stated his position to Lin Kaituo: he also liked Xia Miaomiao. He had always let Lin Kaituo have his way since they were little, but this time he would not back down or yield.
Lin Kaituo came to the girls' dormitory building to find Xia Miaomiao. He confessed his love to Xia Miaomiao again. Even though Xia Miaomiao rejected him again, he was still confident that he could make Xia Miaomiao fall in love with him. On the other side, He Xin met Lin Weiguo at school. She hoped that Lin Weiguo would stop bothering Lin Kaituo. She knew the reason why Lin Weiguo divorced Lin Kaituo's mother back then.
Lin Weiguo understood He Xin's meaning. He asked He Xin to return the bank card to Lin Kaituo. He Xin accepted the bank card. She originally wanted to return it to Lin Kaituo, but accidentally overheard Lin Kaituo's phone call about working part-time everywhere. Lin Kaituo's gaze fell on He Xin, and He Xin had no choice but to leave with the card first. Lin Kaituo worked part-time everywhere, leaving early and returning late every day.
He even missed the competition training. He Xin followed behind Lin Kaituo. She saw Lin Kaituo looking at loan advertisements and questioned Lin Kaituo on the spot, believing that Lin Kaituo shouldn't help Lin Weiguo like this. Lin Kaituo knew that He Xin had always been prejudiced against Lin Weiguo, but he didn't want He Xin to say that about his father. The two had a big fight and parted unhappily.
Hai Da University began to hold a campus cultural and creative week, which was jointly organized by the Architecture Department and the Fashion Department. The sophomores of the Fashion Department had to cooperate with the freshmen. Xia Miaomiao, Lin Xia, and Tang Mengfei were assigned to a group. They were also cooperating with a student named Wang Yutian.
As soon as Xia Miaomiao heard the name, she thought that the other party was a soft and cute girl, but when she saw Wang Yutian, she realized that the other party was a boy. It happened that Liang Younian came to the Fashion Department to get information about the cultural and creative week. He invited Xia Miaomiao, Lin Xia, and Wang Yutian to dinner by the way.
During the meal, Wang Yutian frequently praised Xia Miaomiao, and a sense of crisis arose in Liang Younian's heart. He Xin began to stay away from Xia Miaomiao because she couldn't face her. Tang Mengfei secretly took photos of the two of them. She posted a post on the school forum to deliberately slander Xia Miaomiao. The students of the Fashion Department began to talk about Xia Miaomiao.
Liang Younian originally didn't have time to participate in the cultural and creative week because of the competition, but he still took the time to participate in the cultural and creative week after seeing the post on the forum. Seeing that Tang Mengfei wanted to mention the black post on the forum in public, Liang Younian took the initiative to defend Xia Miaomiao and removed Tang Mengfei from the cultural and creative week list.
Episode 26 Recap
Lin Weiguo was late in repaying the money, and the two debt collectors came to find Lin Kaituo again. Lin Kaituo had to first use his electric bicycle as collateral. He called Lin Weiguo, only to learn that Lin Weiguo's card was with He Xin, and he already knew about the campus forum incident, so he came to find He Xin angrily. Lin Kaituo mistakenly thought that the forum post was made by He Xin.
He demanded that He Xin return the card and delete the post on the spot. Seeing Lin Kaituo's distrustful appearance, He Xin felt disheartened. She returned the card to Lin Kaituo and stated on the spot that she would never interfere with Lin Kaituo's affairs again. The campus cultural and creative week launched cooperative works jointly by the Fashion Department and the Architecture Department. Li Sichen and Jia Yin had continuous disagreements.
They finally decided to adopt Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao's opinions. The two departments jointly launched cultural shirts, with the facade map of the Sixiu Building printed on them. Xia Miaomiao had extensive knowledge, and Wang Yutian admired Xia Miaomiao from the bottom of his heart. Watching the small interactions between Wang Yutian and Xia Miaomiao, Liang Younian felt quite jealous. - He Xin sat alone on a bench crying.
Xia Miaomiao discovered He Xin and went up to comfort her. Although everyone else mistakenly thought the black post was made by He Xin, Xia Miaomiao never doubted He Xin from beginning to end. The two hugged each other and reconciled as before. Trust had never collapsed in their friendship. Afterwards, Liang Younian came to find the two of them.
He took them out to eat, and only then learned about Lin Kaituo working part-time to help Lin Weiguo repay the loan. Liang Younian knew Lin Kaituo's stubborn nature. He had no way to stop Lin Kaituo, so he and Wang Yichao pooled money together to help Lin Kaituo. They couldn't raise the 50,000 yuan loan.
The three of them came up with a plan together, deciding to use the campus cultural and creative week activity to sell the cultural shirts they made themselves. The cultural and creative week activity raised 8,000 yuan, but it was still not enough to repay the loan. Lin Kaituo had to go home and get the 20,000 yuan rent money he had saved before. He accidentally left his school bag on the bed.
Liang's mother accidentally saw a loan advertisement in Lin Kaituo's school bag. She asked Lin Kaituo about it, not wanting Lin Kaituo to fall into the pit of gambling and borrowing money like his father. Lin Kaituo did not know that his father was once a gambler. He genuinely believed his father was great. The mother and son had an unpleasant argument and parted unhappily. Lin Kaituo always believed that their divorce was Liang's mother's fault.
Liang's mother watched Lin Kaituo's retreating figure, crying incessantly. Back then, Lin Weiguo kept borrowing money to gamble, not only accumulating a large amount of gambling debts, but also starting to teach young Lin Kaituo how to gamble. She chose to hide this matter and divorce with Lin Kaituo for his sake. Lin Kaituo's phone was turned off. Liang's mother couldn't reach Lin Kaituo, so she had to call Liang Younian.
Liang Younian covered up the money issue for Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo was not at school, so he had to find Wang Yichao and He Xin. The three of them split up to look for Lin Kaituo. He Xin found Lin Kaituo first. She told Lin Kaituo the truth she saw back then: Liang's mother chose to divorce for Lin Kaituo's good.
Episode 27 Recap
Lin Kaituo learned the truth about his parents' divorce. He completely broke down and cried, unable to accept it. He Xin silently stayed by Lin Kaituo's side and walked him back to the dormitory after he recovered. At the same time, the Architecture Department's design competition was about to begin. Li Sichen announced that the first prize winner of this competition would be an exchange student in the UK for one year.
Lin Kaituo and Liang Younian both intended to compete for first place. Wang Yichao also sincerely believed that Fang Xiaoyue would win first place in this competition. The few of them decided to give their best effort and not let down their hard work in participating in the competition. Lin Kaituo gave the money he had gathered to Lin Weiguo, but Lin Weiguo did not accept Lin Kaituo's money.
Instead, he redeemed the electric bicycle for Lin Kaituo, hoping that Lin Kaituo would study hard. He was going to leave Hai City to work elsewhere. Lin Kaituo had always loved his father deeply. Hearing that Lin Weiguo was leaving, Lin Kaituo's heart was in turmoil. He sincerely did not want Lin Weiguo to leave, but Lin Weiguo was firm in his decision to leave.
He also guaranteed Lin Kaituo that he had repented and that this time he was going out of town to do something proper. Unable to persuade him to stay, Lin Kaituo could only ask Lin Weiguo to keep in touch with him. Afterward, Lin Kaituo returned home. He changed his usual indifferent attitude and began to learn to care for the people at home. Liang's mother was very happy about Lin Kaituo's sudden return.
Liang's father also saw Lin Kaituo's obvious change. Such a harmonious scene for the family had not appeared for a long time. Lin Kaituo solemnly apologized to Liang's mother. Liang's mother cried with emotion. After so many years, she had finally waited for Lin Kaituo to open his heart. Wang Yichao came to the fashion classroom, sighing. He mentioned that Fang Xiaoyue was about to go abroad and sincerely believed that Fang Xiaoyue would definitely win the first prize.
Xia Miaomiao disagreed and refuted Wang Yichao, saying that she believed Liang Younian had the strength to get the first prize. At this moment, He Xin came to the Fashion Department to find Xia Miaomiao and A Xia. She had already traced the network IP address of the black post to Tang Mengfei. Therefore, the three of them went to the dormitory to confront Tang Mengfei. The microphone in the broadcast room was broken.
Lin Kaituo received a call to come over. His first reaction was that He Xin was playing a trick to see him, but He Xin was cold towards Lin Kaituo, without her usual enthusiasm. Lin Kaituo felt sincerely unaccustomed. On the other side, Wang Yichao was preparing to confess to Fang Xiaoyue. He asked Xia Miaomiao and A Xia to help him make clothes and also invited Lin Kaituo to come help him write artistic text.
When Lin Kaituo arrived, Xia Miaomiao was just about to leave. He asked A Xia and Wang Yichao about He Xin. Hearing that Lin Kaituo not only wrongly accused He Xin but also cared about her, A Xia sneered. Only then did Lin Kaituo learn from A Xia that the person who posted the black post was not He Xin. Lin Kaituo apologized to He Xin for misunderstanding her.
He wanted to invite He Xin out to eat to apologize, but He Xin coldly refused. Wang Yichao's confession failed. His grand confession greatly surprised A Xia. A Xia advised Xia Miaomiao that if you like someone, you should boldly confess. Xia Miaomiao also decided to boldly confess to Liang Younian, but she had not had a suitable opportunity to meet Liang Younian recently. Just then, Fang Xiaoyue returned to the dormitory.
She told Xia Miaomiao to be at the Art Club on time in the afternoon. All members of the Art Club would attend the self-introductions of the new members in the afternoon, and Xia Miaomiao must also be present. At the Art Club, Wang Yichao stubbornly insisted on staying there. The new members of the Art Club were Tian Yutian and Wang Ze. Xia Miaomiao kept avoiding Liang Younian during the meeting today, afraid of making eye contact with him.
After the meeting dispersed, Fang Xiaoyue received the results of the competition. She got the third prize. She quickly told Xia Miaomiao to go ask Liang Younian. Xia Miaomiao chased him out of the classroom but unexpectedly overheard Liang Younian telling Wang Yichao that his going abroad had nothing to do with her. Xia Miaomiao felt disappointed and sad at heart and went to the rooftop alone. Liang Younian got the first prize.
Li Sichen told Liang Younian to focus on preparing for studying abroad. Liang Younian agreed. Afterward, Liang Younian received a text message from Xia Miaomiao. He came to the rooftop to find Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao boldly confessed to Liang Younian. Since she was a child, she had been a timid and cowardly person, but for Liang Younian, she had been changing step by step, wanting to get closer to Liang Younian step by step. She liked Liang Younian, and had liked him for a long time.
Episode 28 Recap
Xia Miaomiao confessed her feelings to Liang Younian. Liang Younian only asked Xia Miaomiao to give him some time, and he would give Xia Miaomiao a reply. After Xia Miaomiao returned to the dormitory, she kept dwelling on Liang Younian's request for some time, and she still hadn't received Liang Younian's reply. In the library, Xia Miaomiao ran into Liang Younian.
She went forward to greet Liang Younian, but Liang Younian looked very busy and was unwilling to talk much with Xia Miaomiao. Disappointed, Xia Miaomiao left, packed her luggage, and went home for the winter break first. After returning home, Xia Miaomiao was absent-minded. Deep down, she was convinced that Liang Younian wanted to reject her but couldn't bring himself to say it, which is why he had been delaying.
He Xin wanted to go to the welfare home, and she asked Liang Younian to help her deliver some books. However, Liang Younian had something urgent and couldn't spare the time, so he only asked Lin Kaituo to come and help He Xin. After He Xin saw Lin Kaituo, she looked unwelcome. Lin Kaituo couldn't appease He Xin, and his temper was completely ignited by He Xin, so he left angrily.
Before leaving, he still did not forget to move He Xin's books into the car. After returning home, Lin Kaituo confronted Liang Younian. He genuinely believed that Liang Younian deliberately sent him to see He Xin to make He Xin unhappy. Liang Younian looked innocent; he didn't have the leisure to constantly manage affairs between Liang Younian and He Xin. Although the two brothers argued, their relationship returned to its previous state.
After arguing, they sat together at the dining table to eat, and they even remembered to get food for each other. Since confessing, Xia Miaomiao had been in an absent-minded state. Liang Younian sent a text message to Xia Miaomiao, saying he would wait for Xia Miaomiao at the lighthouse at half past nine. Xia Miaomiao originally thought she would receive Liang Younian's rejection, but Liang Younian had meticulously prepared a warm confession for Xia Miaomiao.
Looking at the room full of lights, candles, and photos, as well as the handmade necklace Liang Younian personally designed, tears streamed down Xia Miaomiao's cheeks. From the bottom of her heart, she couldn't believe everything she saw. Afterward, Liang Younian stood in front of Xia Miaomiao and, with a firm gaze, gave Xia Miaomiao the most definite answer: he also liked Xia Miaomiao. Liang Younian personally helped Xia Miaomiao put on the necklace.
He explained to Xia Miaomiao the words she had heard before, saying that his studies and Xia Miaomiao were equally important to him and he wouldn't give up either. As for asking Xia Miaomiao for time to consider and then avoiding Xia Miaomiao, it was because he had already prepared a confession for Xia Miaomiao in advance.
He wanted to wait until the confession necklace was made before confessing to Xia Miaomiao, but he didn't expect it would cause Xia Miaomiao such a big misunderstanding. Upon learning the truth, Xia Miaomiao was touched. After confirming their relationship, the two walked together by the sea. Liang Younian originally wanted to hold Xia Miaomiao's hand, but Xia Miaomiao received a call from her mom. Liang Younian had to send Xia Miaomiao home first, and their relationship quickly warmed up.
Episode 29 Recap
Liang Younian told Lin Kaituo about his confession to Xia Miaomiao. Lin Kaituo was not surprised at all that Xia Miaomiao accepted the confession. The architecture design competition awarded scholarships, and the president of the Fang Group came on stage to present the awards. Xia Miaomiao sat in the audience wearing Liang Younian's jacket, watching Liang Younian go on stage to receive the award.
The president of the Fang Group came on stage to give a speech and also announced that Fang Xiaoyue was his biological daughter. When everyone learned Fang Xiaoyue's true identity, they couldn't help but discuss the compatibility between Liang Younian and Fang Xiaoyue. Xia Miaomiao was bothered by the surrounding discussions. She was the first to leave the awards room and returned to the model classroom by herself.
Fang Xiaoyue was very unhappy about the Fang Group president announcing her identity. The two argued outside the awards room. Wang Yichao stepped forward to express his intention to the Fang Group president; he wanted to pursue Fang Xiaoyue. The Fang Group president only favored Liang Younian; he genuinely believed that Fang Xiaoyue being with Wang Yichao would not allow her to inherit his company.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoyue defiantly took Wang Yichao's hand and admitted that Wang Yichao was her boyfriend. Liang Younian found Xia Miaomiao looking disappointed in the model classroom. He stayed by her side, trying to gradually open her heart. However, an unwelcome guest came to the model classroom, thinking that Liang Younian should have chosen Fang Xiaoyue, not Xia Miaomiao.
Xia Miaomiao was denied again, but Liang Younian firmly took Xia Miaomiao's hand, feeling that Xia Miaomiao was equally outstanding in his heart. Afterwards, Xia Miaomiao mentioned her idea to Liang Younian. She decided not to announce their relationship yet and wait until she became more outstanding and more deserving of Liang Younian before making their relationship public. Although Liang Younian was unwilling, he still respected Xia Miaomiao's idea.
In the cafeteria, Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao sat together to eat. After confirming their relationship, Xia Miaomiao initially wanted to keep a low profile and not publicize their relationship. She tried to keep her distance from Liang Younian, but Liang Younian repeatedly showed affection towards Xia Miaomiao. Although they wanted to hide it, Fang Xiaoyue could vaguely sense that their feelings for each other were extraordinary.
On the other hand, Li Sichen kept using his nephew Lu Peng as an excuse to ask Jia Yin out. His intention to pursue her was obvious, and he even used the school's children's welfare project to invite Jia Yin to shop for children's clothes at the mall. However, the oblivious Jia Yin was completely focused on Lu Peng and didn't notice Li Sichen's intentions at all. The Art Club and the News Agency cooperated on a children's welfare project.
The two clubs jointly borrowed the architecture department's model classroom. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian came to the model classroom. Xia Miaomiao forgot to bring a pen. She saw Xia Miaomiao borrowing Wang Yutian's pen and not using his pen. Seeing Liang Younian's slight displeasure, Xia Miaomiao had to throw a small paper note to act cute and coax Liang Younian. Liang Younian wasn't really angry with Xia Miaomiao. He told Xia Miaomiao to get something from his pocket.
Xia Miaomiao didn't get anything but held Liang Younian's hand instead. The two secretly held hands in the model classroom. Xia Miaomiao was very shy. Liang Younian gave Xia Miaomiao a lollipop from his other pocket. Xia Miaomiao held the candy in her mouth, feeling sweet inside. Since the last incident, He Xin had been ignoring Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo delivered the children's clothes that Li Sichen bought to the News Agency, but He Xin still ignored Lin Kaituo.
Just then, it was thundering and lightning outside. He Xin rushed out to collect the posters painted by the Art Club. Lin Kaituo also stepped forward to help, but He Xin coldly told Lin Kaituo to leave first. Lin Kaituo's temper was completely ignited by He Xin, and he turned dark-faced, ready to leave on the spot.
Episode 30 Recap
It started pouring outside, but Lin Kaituo still didn't abandon He Xin. He started helping He Xin block the rain and pack up, and declared on the spot that he would no longer look after He Xin from now on. Meanwhile, a completely opposite pair, Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao, shared an umbrella and sweetly walked together in the rain. The Art Club was drawing picture books.
Wang Yichao, who was never good at drawing, also pitched in to help draw one. Fang Xiaoyue was touched by Wang Yichao's actions and proactively invited Wang Yichao to draw with her in the model classroom. In the model classroom, Xia Miaomiao had originally brought a cooling patch to help Liang Younian stay refreshed, but Wang Yutian also scrambled to get Xia Miaomiao's cooling patch.
Xia Miaomiao had no choice but to give her cooling patch to Wang Yutian, causing the vinegar jar in Liang Younian's heart to overturn again. He went to the rooftop by himself and sent a text message asking Xia Miaomiao to come to the rooftop to draw. The two were sweetly drawing on the rooftop halfway when the school's sanitation workers came to clean the lawn. The two had to leave the rooftop.
Xia Miaomiao suggested returning to the model classroom to draw, but Liang Younian only wanted to be alone with Xia Miaomiao. He decided to look for another place, finding a suitable hiding spot for them. Jia Yin came to the swimming pool to find Lu Peng. Lu Peng frankly explained to Jia Yin that he had no romantic feelings for her, and that Jia Yin was too oblivious and still didn't know that Li Sichen liked her after so long.
Jia Yin was distracted the entire day because of Lu Peng's words. Shortly after the two left the swimming pool, Liang Younian brought Xia Miaomiao to the less crowded swimming pool. The two decided to draw inside the swimming pool. While Xia Miaomiao was bending down to tie Liang Younian's shoelaces, she accidentally kissed Liang Younian's cheek. She jumped back in surprise and quickly apologized to Liang Younian. Liang Younian's mouth curved up.
He turned around and also kissed Xia Miaomiao's cheek, telling Xia Miaomiao in person that it was okay. Their relationship continued to heat up, constantly bubbling with pink hearts. Xia Miaomiao was preparing to submit her application for an exchange student program at an overseas university. Her calculus credits were insufficient, and she still needed to complete four major projects, but she didn't feel the slightest bit discouraged in her heart. Liang Younian helped Xia Miaomiao look at her transcript.
He analyzed Xia Miaomiao's grades and believed that Xia Miaomiao could only improve her points by improving her sports grades. Xia Miaomiao only managed to get into the basketball class this semester, and she felt quite hopeless about basketball. However, Liang Younian hoped that Xia Miaomiao would always remember him as her boyfriend; he had the ability to help Xia Miaomiao get good grades. Recently, the Art Club and the News Agency were very busy with the children's welfare project.
Xia Miaomiao and He Xin were so busy they didn't even have time to eat. Lin Kaituo wanted to apologize to He Xin many times, but he couldn't bring himself to do it due to pride. He could only frequently visit the News Department by using others around him as an excuse. In the News Department, He Xin was throwing a tantrum over logistics issues. Lin Kaituo saw it and kept it in mind.
He wanted to help He Xin, so he approached Xia Miaomiao again. From Xia Miaomiao, he learned about He Xin's troubles. The always proud Lin Kaituo proactively asked Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia for help.
Episode 31 Recap
The Art Club members decorated the car with paintings together. Wang Yutian stayed by Xia Miaomiao's side the whole time. He showered Xia Miaomiao with attention, letting everyone see his feelings for her. Wang Yichao, as Liang Younian's good brother, secretly warned Wang Yutian to stay away from Xia Miaomiao. But Wang Yutian thought Xia Miaomiao was still single and everyone had a chance to pursue her. These words were heard by Liang Younian who was outside.
Liang Younian felt unhappy inside. He came to Xia Miaomiao's side in front of everyone, tightly held Xia Miaomiao's hand, and drew a piece belonging to the two of them together with Xia Miaomiao, indirectly showing their relationship. Since learning about Li Sicheng's feelings for her, Jia Yin had been avoiding Li Sicheng. Li Sicheng wanted to call Lu Peng in front of Jia Yin to ask (about something).
Jia Yin quickly spoke up to stop him, fulfilling Li Sicheng's wish by inviting Li Sicheng to eat together. During the meal, she told Li Sicheng that she and Lu Peng had broken up. Li Sicheng was very happy that Jia Yin had thought things through. Just as he was about to confess to Jia Yin, Jia Yin left first, preparing to put all her passion into teaching.
With the help of Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia, Lin Kaituo successfully obtained the logistics tracking number that He Xin wanted. He brought He Xin a point-and-read pen. He Xin was very surprised. She handed Lin Kaituo a bottle of drink, very curious about how he managed to get the express delivery in advance, as she had made over a hundred calls and couldn't get it.
Lin Kaituo had a relaxed expression, just saying he made a complaint call, and express deliveries with complaints are prioritized. The point-and-read pen had already been put on the car, and Lin Kaituo was also preparing to leave. He repeatedly reminded He Xin to be careful. A warm current welled up in He Xin's heart, but she still didn't cling to Lin Kaituo like before. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian watched a movie together.
Originally, Xia Miaomiao thought Liang Younian would want to watch Fast & Furious 8, but Liang Younian chose a romance movie. Few boys usually like watching romance movies. Only then did Xia Miaomiao learn from Liang Younian that he gets motion sickness from 3D movies. The reason he watched 3D with her before was because he liked her. A trace of sweet emotion quickly ignited between the two.
Liang Younian tightly held Xia Miaomiao's hand, accompanying her to watch the sweet romance movie together. He Xin was preparing to go out for research. Xia Miaomiao and Lin Xia saw He Xin off together. Fang Xiaoyue hoped He Xin could wait for Lin Kaituo, as Wang Yichao had already contacted Lin Kaituo to hurry over. Although He Xin was slightly regretful about not seeing Lin Kaituo, she had already waited for Lin Kaituo for many years.
This time, she decided not to continue waiting. In the last second before getting on the bus, Lin Kaituo arrived. He gave her the things he had prepared for He Xin, and bravely confessed to He Xin. But He Xin rejected Lin Kaituo. She knew clearly in her heart that he didn't truly like her, but rather was used to her presence.
Episode 32 Recap
Lin Kaituo watched He Xin leave before his eyes. After He Xin got on the bus, she opened the package Lin Kaituo had prepared for her, only to find that Lin Kaituo had prepared some medicines and skincare products. She was very surprised by Lin Kaituo's thoughtfulness. At this time, He Xin received a call from the courier company and learned that Lin Kaituo had gone to the next city to pick up the batch of point-and-read pens himself.
Lin Kaituo borrowed a tricycle from the courier company, mortgaging all the money and his electric car to the courier company so that Lin Kaituo could drive the tricycle to deliver the point-and-read pens back. Knowing the truth, He Xin shed tears of emotion. She called Lin Kaituo, but Lin Kaituo's phone was always turned off and could not be reached.
She mistakenly thought Lin Kaituo was angry and unwilling to pay attention to her, feeling regretful in her heart for rejecting Lin Kaituo. On the other side, Lin Kaituo returned to the dormitory with a dark face. After Wang Yichao's repeated questioning, Lin Kaituo revealed that he had been rejected by He Xin, and the electric car he had borrowed from the courier was broken again, and it had not been repaired after a week.
His mobile phone was also broken when he was preparing the package for He Xin. Xia Miaomiao was busy making clothes while practicing basketball. Liang Younian stayed by Xia Miaomiao's side, watching Xia Miaomiao grow and improve little by little. He Xin was still doing research in another city and hadn't returned. Tang Mengfei signed with a modeling company. Everyone was spinning around like a top, busy, except for Lin Xia, who was bored.
She grabbed Fang Xiaoyue's hand, wanting to have dinner with Fang Xiaoyue, but Fang Xiaoyue had to go to Fang's Group and didn't have time. Lin Xia felt disappointed. Lin Xia and Wang Yichao were both in the Fashion Department. Fang Xiaoyue hadn't seen Wang Yichao's shadow recently. After inquiring, she learned that Wang Yichao had started an internship and was very busy recently.
Afterwards, Fang Xiaoyue deliberately waited by the roadside, waiting for Wang Yichao, who had stayed up all night. Wang Yichao originally wanted to take Fang Xiaoyue to where she was going, but after hearing Fang Xiaoyue's rejection, Wang Yichao mistakenly thought Fang Xiaoyue didn't like him following her, so he said goodbye to Fang Xiaoyue first. Fang Xiaoyue looked at Wang Yichao's back, her eyes filled with undisguised disappointment. Xia Miaomiao got an exchange opportunity.
The first person she notified was Liang Younian. Liang Younian came to the library to find Xia Miaomiao. The two prepared to pack their things and leave. Wang Yutian heard that Xia Miaomiao was also preparing to apply for a passport. He wanted to go with Xia Miaomiao but was interrupted by Liang Younian. On the way back, Liang Younian's jealousy was obvious. He looked unhappy. Xia Miaomiao learned the reason for Liang Younian's unhappiness.
She took Liang Younian's hand, interlocking her fingers with Liang Younian's. The two went to the photo studio together to take visa photos. Looking at his photo hanging in the photo studio window, Liang Younian's face was full of embarrassment. He originally wanted the photo studio owner to take it down, but after hearing that Xia Miaomiao wanted to hang her photo with his, Liang Younian immediately changed his mind, only wanting to hang his photo with Xia Miaomiao's.
After taking the photos, the two walked home hand in hand. Xia Miaomiao sincerely thanked Liang Younian for making her a better version of herself. Liang Younian asked Xia Miaomiao for a kiss as a thank you gift. Just as the two were about to develop further, Xia JianSheng suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, spoiling the mood and interrupting the two. At Fang's Group, Li Sichen led Liang Younian and his team to Fang's for a meeting.
The main focus of this meeting at Fang's Group was the design of the elderly care apartment on plot 12. Liang Younian remembered that this project was an unfinished project of his mother's, and he was slightly distracted, but his unique decision-making ability still impressed the Fang's Group president. The Fang's Group president invited Liang Younian to join this project. Li Sichen mentioned Liang Younian's upcoming trip abroad. He originally wanted to refuse on behalf of Liang Younian, but Liang Younian suddenly changed his mind and wanted to stay and try this project.
Episode 33 Recap
Liang Younian thought of his mother because of the Fang's Group project. He returned to his room alone and fell into a dilemma. On one side was the unfinished project his mother had started, and on the other was Xia Miaomiao. He could only choose one of the two. After making his decision, Liang Younian asked Xia Miaomiao to the amusement park. The two had a great time playing in the park.
Liang Younian originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell Xia Miaomiao his decision, but seeing the look of longing on Xia Miaomiao's face for the future, he swallowed the words back and only left Xia Miaomiao with a wonderful night. President Fang greatly admired Liang Younian, feeling very dissatisfied with Wang Yichao, whom Fang Xiaoyue had chosen.
But Fang Xiaoyue was full of worries, hoping her father would stop looking down on Wang Yichao, as Wang Yichao had no intention of trying to climb the social ladder using her. President Fang saw from Fang Xiaoyue's expression that Fang Xiaoyue and Wang Yichao had argued, so he summoned Wang Yichao to the company. He warned Wang Yichao not to let Fang Xiaoyue down.
Although he disliked Wang Yichao, there was nothing he could do since Fang Xiaoyue liked Wang Yichao, so as a father, he had no choice but to take a step back. Jia Yin came to get Xia Miaomiao's freshman academic records from Li Sichen. Li Sichen heard Jia Yin's mother urging her to get married on the phone. He hoped Jia Yin could give him a chance. A slight awkward atmosphere arose between the two.
Fortunately, Lin Kaituo suddenly arrived, giving Jia Yin a chance to escape. Jia Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly fled, leaving the space to Li Sichen and Lin Kaituo. Lin Kaituo was called over by Li Sichen. From Li Sichen, he learned that Liang Younian was preparing to give up going abroad. Li Sichen hoped Lin Kaituo could persuade Liang Younian. Lin Kaituo was surprised upon hearing the news.
He hurriedly called Liang Younian, but Liang Younian was currently shopping at the supermarket with Xia Miaomiao and only told Lin Kaituo that he would talk about it in detail later. At the supermarket, Xia Miaomiao wanted to stock up on a lot of instant noodles, but Liang Younian stopped her, fearing that Xia Miaomiao wouldn't be able to carry such a large amount of things alone when she went abroad. Liang Younian returned to the dormitory.
Lin Kaituo was already waiting in Liang Younian's room. Just then, He Xin called. When Liang Younian answered, he heard He Xin's surprised voice. He Xin hoped Liang Younian wouldn't send large packages to her mountainous village area. Liang Younian was confused. Lin Kaituo quickly gave Liang Younian a look, and only then did Liang Younian realize that Lin Kaituo had been secretly caring for He Xin. He covered for Lin Kaituo.
Afterwards, the two came to the model classroom together. Wang Yichao was drowning his sorrows with alcohol in the model classroom. He knew Fang Xiaoyue's father looked down on him, so he had been feeling uncomfortable inside. The three talked about their troubles. Liang Younian told Wang Yichao and Lin Kaituo his decision. His mother's unfinished project was about to restart, and he wanted to join it, so he wouldn't be able to go abroad.
However, he was afraid that Xia Miaomiao would not go either because of this, so he had not told Xia Miaomiao this decision. Lin Kaituo disagreed with Liang Younian's idea. Their relationship was just warming up, and Liang Younian should tell Xia Miaomiao everything clearly. Liang Younian tried several times to tell Xia Miaomiao about going abroad, but each time, the words reached his lips and were swallowed back.
At the Liang family dinner table, Liang Younian told Liang Gang his decision. Liang Gang was angry and didn't want Liang Younian to give up this great opportunity, but Liang Younian had made up his mind. He told Liang Gang the thoughts in his heart. Liang Gang sighed deeply in his heart and still chose to respect Liang Younian's decision. The next day, Xia Miaomiao asked Liang Younian to meet at the airport early in the morning.
Her whole family saw Xia Miaomiao off at the airport. She waited and waited for Liang Younian at the airport but couldn't find him. She called Liang Younian, but Liang Younian told Xia Miaomiao on the phone to check in first. Only then did Xia Miaomiao notice Liang Younian's abnormality. She didn't listen to Liang Younian and board the plane. Instead, she pulled her suitcase and came to the university swimming pool to find Liang Younian.
Episode 34 Recap
Liang Younian told Xia Miaomiao his decision not to go abroad. Xia Miaomiao wanted to know why, but Liang Younian was afraid he would influence Xia Miaomiao. He refused to tell her, insisting firmly that Xia Miaomiao leave first, and he would find her after he finished his matters. Xia Miaomiao was strong-willed, wanting to know the reason. Liang Younian delayed speaking, and Xia Miaomiao felt disappointed deep down.
In this relationship, she had always been afraid that Liang Younian would regret it, always lacking security. She wanted to share responsibilities and grow together with Liang Younian, but Liang Younian refused to say anything. Liang Younian didn't want Xia Miaomiao to misunderstand, but he kept delaying telling Xia Miaomiao the real reason. In her sadness, Xia Miaomiao broke up with Liang Younian, thinking she wasn't good enough for Liang Younian.
Seeing Liang Younian trying to approach her, Xia Miaomiao stepped back, missed her footing, and fell into the swimming pool. Liang Younian quickly jumped into the pool and grabbed Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao pushed Liang Younian away. She got out of the water alone, wanting to prove to Liang Younian that she could manage by herself. Xia Miaomiao left the swimming area soaking wet. Before leaving, she hoped Liang Younian would stop looking for her and stop following her.
She would go to the airport, but her relationship with Liang Younian could only go this far. " "" Three months later, He Xin completed her research work and returned to school. She and A Xia video called Xia Miaomiao in the dorm. Xia Miaomiao's life was a mess, but the one thing she hadn't done was contact Liang Younian again.
Before the three of them could talk for long, Xia Miaomiao had to rush to class, so they had to hang up the video call. In the model classroom on the other side, Jin Meng gave Lin Kaituo a hand warmer. Lin Kaituo wanted to give it back to Jin Meng, but Jin Meng refused to take it back. This scene was just seen by He Xin, who had come to find Liang Younian.
Unable to see Liang Younian, she left the model classroom with a little mood because of Lin Kaituo's matter. Lin Kaituo watched He Xin leave and quickly chased after her. He originally wanted He Xin to take their relationship seriously, but He Xin only cared about Liang Younian and Xia Miaomiao's matters, no longer sticking to Lin Kaituo enthusiastically like before. The two argued briefly and turned to leave separately. "
"" He Xin came to find Liang Younian about Xia Miaomiao's matter. She was originally looking angry, but upon learning that the person who had been sending her all sorts of packages was Lin Kaituo, her anger instantly turned to joy. He Xin wanted to know Liang Younian's thoughts on Xia Miaomiao. Liang Younian frankly told He Xin what was in his heart.
He wanted to give Xia Miaomiao more space so that Xia Miaomiao would know how outstanding she herself was, and that even without him, Xia Miaomiao could be a shining light in the crowd. " "" Liang Younian's pavilion design draft had been rejected four times in a row. He was busy and stressed about this. President Fang approached Liang Younian, hoping Liang Younian could ask Wang Yichao to come to Haida one more time.
Since he last met Wang Yichao, Wang Yichao hadn't been willing to come to his company, and Fang Xiaoyue had been constantly worried. He was sure that the two of them had argued. Liang Younian knew Wang Yichao had a very strong sense of pride, so he refused President Fang. President Fang had no choice but to prepare a car himself to go to Haida to find Wang Yichao.
Liang Younian told Fang Xiaoyue that her father was going to Haida. Fang Xiaoyue feared that her father would say something he shouldn't to Wang Yichao, so she also hurried to Haida, interrupting President Fang and Wang Yichao's conversation. She pulled Wang Yichao by the shoulder and leaned tightly by Wang Yichao's side. Seeing Fang Xiaoyue and Wang Yichao looking so sweet, President Fang didn't feel it was appropriate to interfere further.
Deeply feeling that a grown daughter would eventually leave home, he got up to leave. Fang Xiaoyue used this opportunity to express her feelings to Wang Yichao; she had fallen for Wang Yichao. " "" Liang Younian's design draft was still not approved. He went home and asked Liang Gang for his mother's design drafts from back then. Liang Gang took out his wedding photo with Liang Younian's mother from that year.
This design draft had been framed behind the photo since Liang Younian's mother left, something he had never dared to face. Only at this moment did Liang Younian understand Liang Gang's deep affection for his mother. Time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, it was time for Xia Miaomiao to return to the country. Liang Younian was also deeply involved in the design project for Plot No. 12.
When Xia Miaomiao returned to the country, Liang Younian happened to be at the airport to pick up his superior, Frank. The two of them met again by chance at the airport after being apart for a year.
Episode 35 Recap
Liang Younian wanted to drive Xia Miaomiao home, but Xia Miaomiao gently refused. However, Frank did not allow Xia Miaomiao to refuse and insisted that he and Liang Younian take Xia Miaomiao home together. After dropping Xia Miaomiao off at home, Xia Miaomiao's mother wanted to invite Liang Younian for a meal to thank him. Before Liang Younian could reply, Frank readily agreed and got out of the car to have a meal at the Xia family's house.
During the meal, Xia Miaomiao was not present. Xia Yaoyao couldn't lift Xia Miaomiao's suitcase, so she had to ask Liang Younian to help her move it into the room. She knew Liang Younian was Xia Miaomiao's boyfriend, so she showed Liang Younian all the precious things Xia Miaomiao had kept related to him. Just then, Xia Miaomiao returned.
She saw Liang Younian looking through the sketchbooks she had drawn before, stepped forward, and took the sketchbooks from Liang Younian's hand. She told Liang Younian to leave her room, saying that she had already broken up with him. As soon as He Xin returned, she and Lin Kaituo clashed whenever they met. They ended up competing for the same chair in the library.
Lin Kaituo refused to give way an inch, so He Xin had to let him have the chair and sat on the chair behind. Just then, Jin Meng came to give Lin Kaituo something. Lin Kaituo hurriedly chased after her, hoping that Jin Meng would stop giving him things. He said he already liked someone, and that person had a terrible temper. These words were overheard by He Xin, who had secretly followed them.
He Xin's mood instantly changed from sweet to furious. Lin Kaituo noticed He Xin. When faced with her questioning, Lin Kaituo denied that the person he liked was her. Disappointed, He Xin left. Watching He Xin's dejected back, Lin Kaituo quickly caught up to her. He confessed his feelings to He Xin again. He Xin nodded and agreed to be with Lin Kaituo, and the two finally achieved a perfect outcome. Liang Younian waited at Xia Miaomiao's doorstep.
He wanted to have a good talk with Xia Miaomiao, but Xia Miaomiao didn't give him any time. Liang Younian had no choice but to decide to wait for Xia Miaomiao at the lighthouse. Seeing Xia Miaomiao's nervous expression, Liang Younian hoped she wouldn't feel any pressure, saying it was completely fine if she didn't want to come. At night, Xia Miaomiao came to the lighthouse to see Liang Younian. Liang Younian told Xia Miaomiao why he hadn't gone abroad.
Last year, the Fang Group restarted the project his mother hadn't finished back then, so he decided to stay and help his mother complete this unfinished project. As for not telling Xia Miaomiao, it was because he was afraid she wouldn't go abroad because of it, and he didn't want her to have any regrets. Now that Xia Miaomiao had completed her dream and returned, he hoped she could forgive him. Xia Miaomiao shook her head.
She felt that Liang Younian shouldn't have made the decision on her behalf. She said she couldn't completely forgive Liang Younian right now, so she hoped he could give her some time. Xia Miaomiao returned to Haida. The girls reunited in the dorm, enjoying the happy atmosphere. Afterward, she shared the knowledge she had learned in England in class, earning the admiration of the junior students in the fashion design department.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Sichen approached Jia Yin. He wanted to know her thoughts on him. Jia Yin directly rejected Li Sichen. Li Sichen knew Jia Yin didn't like him at the moment, but upon hearing that Jia Yin didn't dislike him as a person, he was delighted and exclaimed that he still had a chance. Lin Kaituo was playing basketball on the court. He Xin was waiting outside for Lin Kaituo.
A classmate named Ye Nan came over to ask He Xin for her WeChat contact. Before He Xin could speak, Lin Kaituo immediately refused with a sullen face, stating on the spot that He Xin was his girlfriend. A smile bloomed on He Xin's face, and she quickly walked to catch up with the dark-faced Lin Kaituo. It was their first time holding hands, but because they were so familiar with each other, she felt nothing in her heart.
Dissatisfied with He Xin's reaction, Lin Kaituo leaned down and kissed He Xin on the cheek when she wasn't paying attention. He Xin's heart fluttered. Liang Younian and Frank clashed over the lighting design issues. Liang Younian insisted on not backing down on matters of principle. At the same time, Wang Yichao was staying at Liang Younian's dorm as a guest. Seeing Liang Younian looking troubled, Wang Yichao and Lin Kaituo decided to help him. Drawing from their own experiences, the two gave Liang Younian a bunch of relationship tips, but Liang Younian sighed and shook his head, thinking they were extremely unreliable.
Episode 36 (Ending) Recap
The next day, Liang Younian decided to adopt Wang Yichao's relationship tactics. He frequently appeared before Xia Miaomiao, brought her breakfast, and even wanted to imitate Wang Yichao by meeting President Fang and meeting Xia Miaomiao's father. Xia Miaomiao was taken aback and surprised to hear Liang Younian's sudden greeting to her father. Liang Younian felt discouraged deep down, knowing this tactic had no effect on Xia Miaomiao.
Afterward, during a meeting, Liang Younian saw Fang Xiaoyue's happy expression upon receiving chocolate. He learned from Fang Xiaoyue that girls like receiving unexpected gifts, so he also prepared a box of chocolates to give to Xia Miaomiao. Liang Younian came to the fashion design department. Before he could give the chocolate away, Wang Yutian got ahead of him. He gave Xia Miaomiao a bouquet of chocolate flowers and took the opportunity to confess to her.
He said he liked Xia Miaomiao, just as she liked Liang Younian, constantly striving to become better, so he wanted to be with Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao rejected Wang Yutian without hesitation, just as she had rejected Lin Kaituo back then. Wang Yutian was not disheartened by her refusal. He still hoped Xia Miaomiao could give him a chance to get closer. Xia Miaomiao shook her head, firmly rejecting Wang Yutian again.
Lin Xia and Liang Younian stood outside the door and saw Xia Miaomiao's merciless rejection of someone. Lin Xia encouraged Liang Younian. Liang Younian mustered the courage to give the chocolate in his hand to Xia Miaomiao. Xia Miaomiao accepted the chocolate from Liang Younian. She frankly told Liang Younian that she was no longer angry with him. However, she was afraid that if they encountered the same situation next time, Liang Younian would still prioritize excluding her.
All her decisions revolved around Liang Younian, but she was afraid that to Liang Younian, she was just an insignificant person. Therefore, she hoped Liang Younian could give her a little more time so she could think things through properly. Xia Miaomiao's father came home. Xia Miaomiao's mother lost her temper because her father's sea route was changed.
Her father had always been at sea for long periods, and now with the route change, his time at home would be greatly reduced again. Xia Miaomiao stood by her father's side and comforted him. She knew her mother was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and that no matter what decision her father made, their family would still support him as always.
Afterward, Liang Younian called Xia Miaomiao and asked her to meet him at the lighthouse. He had something to say to her. Xia Miaomiao didn't want to go out. Liang Younian remembered Lin Kaituo's relationship tactic; he deliberately pretended to be injured. Xia Miaomiao felt worried deep down, and she rushed to the lighthouse to see Liang Younian. Inside the lighthouse, Liang Younian was safe and sound. Xia Miaomiao was a little angry and wanted to leave.
Liang Younian stopped her and told her everything he hadn't said before. He had liked Xia Miaomiao since high school. He had liked her for a very, very long time, and Xia Miaomiao had always deeply influenced him. When his father didn't agree with him applying for Haida Architecture after the college entrance examination, it was Xia Miaomiao who gave him the firm courage and belief.
When he couldn't draw the competition design draft, it was Xia Miaomiao who gave him inspiration. When they encountered a thunderstorm during the field trip to the ancient town, it was Xia Miaomiao who helped him overcome his fear. He really, really liked Xia Miaomiao. Hearing Liang Younian's confession again, Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but step forward and hug him, reconciling with him. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian walked home hand in hand.
They met Liang Younian's parents, who had also reconciled. The Liang family learned about their relationship and gave their approval and blessings. Xia Miaomiao and Liang Younian got back together after being apart for a year. Their relationship was far stronger and sweeter than a year ago, and Liang Younian also gained recognition from the demanding Frank, becoming an excellent design architect. In the blink of an eye, it was graduation time. Everyone took graduation photos together.
Jia Yin and Li Sichen also achieved a positive outcome. Everyone found their own happiness during this period of growth. Liang Younian held Xia Miaomiao's hand tightly and took her to the first project he had personally designed. The two looked out at the lighthouse, sharing a knowing smile.
