A River Runs Through It Recap
Episode 1 Recap
The lively alley was full of the hustle and bustle of life. Children were playing happily, and an old person walking a big dog scared Xia Xiaoju badly. A new family moved into the lively alley; they were warm and friendly and even gave delicious treats to the neighbors. The neighbors all praised how beautiful the daughter of the new family was. It turned out to be Xia Xiaoju's family who had moved to a new place.
Her mother complained that Xia Xiaoju was so clumsy she had dropped her books while running. Just then, Xia Xiaoju returned and learned that the neighbor's child also attended the same high school and was also in the third year. The family was busy arranging everything for their new home. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju asked her mother for a hundred yuan to buy a new school uniform because she was at a new school.
However, her mother dismissed the idea, thinking her current uniform was quite new and there was no need to buy a new one. Xia Xiaoju didn't argue. Just as her father was about to say something, her mother sent him downstairs to buy steamed buns. On the road here, a few teenagers, full of youthful energy and radiating sunshine, chased a small boy into a corner on their bicycles, pinned him against the wall, and searched him for money.
It turned out he didn't have a single penny on him, only a trophy. Just as they were getting into it, everyone suddenly burst into laughter. It turned out they were just acting. The boy being chased was named Cheng Lang, a top student. There was also Lu Shiyi, who was handsome but very mischievous. The few of them had a good relationship and rode their bikes home together.
It just so happened that Xia Xiaoju's family was setting off firecrackers to celebrate. Xia Xiaoju stumbled back to dodge, and just as she turned around, she bumped into Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju was afraid to light the firecracker, and Lu Shiyi even laughed at her, calling her stupid. Cheng Lang defended her. At this point, her father helped Xia Xiaoju light it and told her to hold it.
However, as soon as her father lit it, Xia Xiaoju was so scared that she threw the firecracker, and it landed right on Lu Shiyi's backside, exploding. Xia Xiaoju went to his house to apologize to him. Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyi not only didn't accept the apology but kept telling Xia Xiaoju to leave, and his words were extremely unpleasant. Just then, his father came in and scolded him for not speaking properly.
However, Xia Xiaoju's mother also arrived, and he had a very good attitude towards her. Xia Xiaoju's mother apologized for her, specifically paid the medical expenses, and even offered to take him to the hospital. Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyi's father turned out to be the school doctor. After returning home, Xia Xiaoju couldn't escape being scolded again. To save on water bills, her mother had turned down the water meter.
Xia Xiaoju said she was stealing water, but her mother said it was to save money, especially since they had just moved and had already lost a sum of money because of her. Xia Xiaoju was left speechless. At the dinner table, Xia Xiaoju's younger brother was good at making their parents happy. Her mother even rewarded him with a big chicken drumstick, and her father also gave Xia Xiaoju some food.
However, Lu Shiyi's mother was away on a business trip, so his father just made him something simple. He actually wanted to take the medical expenses paid by Xia Xiaoju's family to buy delicious food, but his father flatly refused, telling him to return the money after eating and also lectured him about his academic performance. Cheng Lang's house was filled with big trophies and many certificates of merit, showing he was an excellent student.
He was also very easy for his mother to manage, never causing her trouble. His mother even said he inherited his father's intelligence, but his father was no longer around. His mother suddenly paused, but was immediately pulled by Cheng Lang to eat, changing the subject. Xia Xiaoju was supposed to sleep with her younger brother, but she didn't want to.
So, she told her brother a scary mythological story, scaring him away, so she could sleep in the room by herself. However, she almost overslept the next day. After arriving at class, the teacher actually called roll to help Xia Xiaoju get familiar with her classmates. When calling Lu Shiyi, she mispronounced his name, calling him Lu Tiwei. Everyone teased him, saying he wanted to be the sports representative.
Lu Shiyi also threatened Xia Xiaoju not to tell anyone about her blowing up his backside with the firecracker. Xia Xiaoju made a new friend named Qiu Letao; they both liked the band Little Tigers. In the evening, her younger brother was mischievous and accidentally damaged Xia Xiaoju's shoes. Not wanting her to find out, he secretly glued them back together for her.
Episode 2 Recap
Xia Xiaoju rushed to school, but accidentally fell. Lu Shiyi happened to see it. Xia Xiaoju's shoe was broken, and he used it to mock her loudly. However, Cheng Lang immediately came to her rescue, making Xia Xiaoju less embarrassed. Xia Xiaoju was called by the teacher. The teacher surprisingly asked her if she had considered returning to her original school. Xia Xiaoju panicked immediately upon hearing this and quickly asked if she had done something wrong.
But the teacher said no, explaining that Xia Xiaoju's grades hadn't improved, and the teachers couldn't possibly wait for her anymore. They wanted to help her find a study method suitable for her. Xia Xiaoju was sitting on the playground. Cheng Lang brought his shoes over for her to wear and also tried to help fix her shoe. This moved Xia Xiaoju greatly.
Cheng Lang also explained to Xia Xiaoju that Lu Shiyi wasn't a bad person; he just said unpleasant things, but his heart wasn't bad. Suddenly, Cheng Lang discovered the tape inside Xia Xiaoju's shoe. Only then did Xia Xiaoju realize it was her younger brother who had done it. Xia Xiaoju ran back and scolded her younger brother. But her mother came in and indiscriminately scolded Xia Xiaoju for hitting her younger brother.
This made Xia Xiaoju even sadder, because she felt that no one had ever cared about her feelings since she was a child, and she always had to give in to her younger brother. She then argued with her mother and ran out. She went to where her father worked and happened to hear her father praising her younger brother for his good grades. But looking at her father doing such tiring work, Xia Xiaoju felt very uncomfortable.
Xia Xiaoju was standing there feeling sad when her father saw her. She then turned around and ran away. Her father chased after her and also bought her favorite soda, but she didn't drink it. Her father asked her what happened. Xia Xiaoju expressed her thoughts, asking him why they moved, and if it was just because of her younger brother.
But her father told Xia Xiaoju not to think that way, saying both she and her younger brother were their parents' most beloved children. Only then did Xia Xiaoju understand her parents' good intentions, and she felt better. Her father asked her if the soda was good, and Xia Xiaoju, crying, said it was good.
The next day, Xia Xiaoju went to the teacher's office and righteously told the teacher that she would definitely work twice as hard, and they could just look at her monthly exam results. Xia Xiaoju went to find Lu Shiyi to clarify things and hoped he wouldn't pick on her anymore. Xia Xiaoju then started a crazy study mode.
At this time, Bao Xiangxiang was also worried if he would come in last place, otherwise his father would break his legs. But Lu Shiyi said not to worry, this time Xia Xiaoju would be the one at the bottom. Xia Xiaoju was unconvinced, but Lu Shiyi said if he helped Bao Xiangxiang tutor, he definitely wouldn't be last. At this time, Cheng Lang stood up and offered to tutor Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju then exchanged challenges with Bao Xiangxiang.
These four people were racing against time, but Cheng Lang taught very gently. However, Lu Shiyi's temper was very bad. At night, they even deliberately didn't turn off their lights, competing in the dark. During the exam, Bao Xiangxiang didn't know the answers and actually asked Lu Shiyi to pass him a note. Out of necessity, Lu Shiyi wrote down the answers and threw them over, and it happened to land next to Xia Xiaoju.
Xia Xiaoju, to prevent them from cheating, stepped on the note with her foot and was discovered by the teacher. But no matter how Xia Xiaoju explained, the teacher didn't believe her. Lu Shiyi said he wrote it and it had nothing to do with her, but the teacher still called their parents. Xia Xiaoju started crying when she got home.
Fortunately, Xia Xiaoju's parents believed her very much, knowing she wouldn't cheat, and they also bought her a new school uniform and new shoes. The next day, Xia Xiaoju took her mother to school to explain. She happened to hear Lu Shiyi explaining to the teacher that he was the one who cheated for Bao Xiangxiang, and Xia Xiaoju just wanted to stop him. Xia Xiaoju hadn't expected that Lu Shiyi was actually a decent person.
On the way back, she found out that Cheng Lang had actually made a bet with Lu Shiyi. However, Lu Shiyi lost his new game card. At this time, Lu Shiyi's father came back to settle the score with him, chasing and hitting him all over the street.
Episode 3 Recap
Xia Xiaoju was running very fast in PE class, which was particularly advantageous, and Lu Shiyi happened to see it. They were also worried about the upcoming sports meet because it was a mixed-gender relay race, and they hadn't found a suitable candidate. Moreover, No. 1 High School and No. 14 High School had a bet that whoever lost would call the winner "daddy." Lu Shiyi was very unwilling to lose.
But after looking for many people, they couldn't meet the requirements. Finally, Lu Shiyi saw Xia Xiaoju and pinned his hopes on her. To test how fast Xia Xiaoju ran, he snatched her Walkman and told her to chase him. Unexpectedly, she ran really fast. On the way home from school, Lu Shiyi and Bao Xiangxiang kept following behind Xia Xiaoju, telling her to practice hard and participate in the competition. But Xia Xiaoju refused.
As a result, the two of them started arguing. Fortunately, Bao Xiangxiang stopped them in time. The next day, Lu Shiyi bought breakfast and water to persuade Xia Xiaoju, saying that practicing sports would help with the college entrance exam. Xia Xiaoju seemed moved, but then he said she had poor grades, which angered her. The two of them struggled, and the Walkman fell to the ground, damaging a corner.
The two of them completely broke up the argument, Bao Xiangxiang and Qiu Letao pulled them apart. Lu Shiyi was playing games at home when his father scolded him and called his mother to complain. So he went into his room to read, but Xia Xiaoju ran downstairs to his house and shouted for him. One told him to come down, and the other told her to go up. The two of them started arguing again.
Cheng Lang came out to persuade them and realized that Xia Xiaoju's Walkman was broken. He apologized to her and offered to fix the Walkman. Xia Xiaoju was surprised that Cheng Lang knew how to fix this. During class, the teacher discovered Lu Shiyi secretly playing games and confiscated his device. After Cheng Lang fixed Xia Xiaoju's Walkman, he returned it to her and asked her about the sports meet.
But Cheng Lang thought studying was important and didn't persuade her. Instead, he supported her decision. Seeing this, Lu Shiyi came over and asked Cheng Lang how it went. Cheng Lang advised him to look for someone else, as it was normal for Xia Xiaoju not to want to delay her studies. As he was talking, Xia Xiaoju came over because Cheng Lang had fixed her Walkman, and she came to help him raise the pole.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyi mocked her for being short. So they made a bet: if Cheng Lang could jump over the pole, Lu Shiyi would buy them delicious food; if he couldn't, he would agree to anything Xia Xiaoju wanted. Under Lu Shiyi's goading, Xia Xiaoju agreed. Obviously, Xia Xiaoju lost. So, during class, she went to buy them food.
It just so happened that Lu Shiyi took this opportunity to go to the head teacher's office to find his game console. After Lu Shiyi entered the office, he locked the door and searched for the game console for a long time before finding it. Just as he was about to leave, the head teacher returned. Helpless, Lu Shiyi had to climb out of the window and walk along the wall on the second floor.
After the head teacher came in, she didn't notice anything unusual and quickly left. But Lu Shiyi hadn't come down yet and was about to get caught. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju ran over with a pile of buns and saw this scene. After hesitating, she decided to save Lu Shiyi. So she pretended not to see the head teacher and swaggered past, and was caught by the head teacher and scolded.
The teacher didn't believe she could eat so many buns, so Xia Xiaoju started eating them in front of the teacher. The teacher had no choice but to let her go. After Lu Shiyi came down, Xia Xiaoju started choking. So he hugged Xia Xiaoju from behind and dislodged the food. He also explained to her that this was called the Heimlich maneuver. Just as he was about to thank her, Xia Xiaoju threw up on him. So he gave his clothes to Xia Xiaoju and asked her to wipe her mouth and wash them.
Episode 4 Recap
When Xia Xiaoju was washing Lu Shiyi's clothes at home, her younger brother Jiashu happened to see her. Her brother thought she was washing clothes for a boy. Xia Xiaoju told him to mind his own business, and that if he said anything more, she would tell their parents not to let him watch TV. Her brother then shouted that Xia Xiaoju was having an early romance, which startled Xia Xiaoju. She quickly chased him out.
As they chased, they climbed up a tree, and climbed quite high, but couldn't get down. Just as they were about to give up, Lu Shiyi, who had come out, saw them and came over to help her. He caught Jiashu when he jumped down, catching him perfectly. But as for Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi said he couldn't catch her, or his hands would be ruined.
He told Xia Xiaoju to climb down herself, and he would protect her from below. As Xia Xiaoju climbed, she fell down, bringing Lu Shiyi down with her and falling onto him. Her brother even mocked her. Just as Xia Xiaoju said she had a score to settle with her brother, her brother shouted out that Xia Xiaoju was having an early romance.
Lu Shiyi was thinking about watching the drama unfold, but her brother said Xia Xiaoju was washing clothes for a boy. Lu Shiyi then realized it was his clothes she was washing, and he even said it out loud. Her brother heard it and said she was dating Brother Shiyi. As he left, Lu Shiyi still asked her to consider the sports meet. If she wanted to go, she should wait for him after school tomorrow to train together.
On the way home with her brother, Xia Xiaoju happened to bump into Cheng Lang who was coming home after buying groceries. The two of them talked about the sports meet. Cheng Lang also said that Xia Xiaoju was interesting, and training with her would definitely be very interesting. Xia Xiaoju's heart wavered a bit, and she wanted to participate. After school the next day, Lu Shiyi and Bao Xiangxiang waited for Xia Xiaoju at the school gate.
They also discussed how to talk to her, and finally decided to pretend to cry to make Xia Xiaoju soft-hearted. Just then, Cheng Lang came over and said Xia Xiaoju had left long ago. They had no choice but to leave. When they went to the sports field, they saw that Xia Xiaoju was already waiting for them there to train together. Lu Shiyi and the other two were very surprised and trained together.
Even during class, they couldn't stay idle. In the alley, on the sports field, and on the road outside, everyone trained together for a long time. But one afternoon on the sports field, just as Xia Xiaoju returned the clothes to Lu Shiyi, Bao Xiangxiang said if there was something going on between them. As they were joking around, the head teacher came over.
She punished them by making them do horse stance and forbade them from participating in the sports meet. Even Teacher Guo's persuasion was useless. But they would not give up on the sports meet, so they decided to go secretly. The sports meet began, and everyone arrived at the venue together. Many people from No. 1 High School cheered them on. Xia Xiaoju felt a bit nervous when she saw the scene.
At this moment, people from No. 2 High School came over to provoke them and talked about calling someone "daddy." Xia Xiaoju asked and only then found out that the bet was that the loser would call the winner "daddy." She also said why they didn't tell her earlier. If she had known, she wouldn't have been so hesitant; she definitely would have participated! Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaoju was quite righteous.
To help Xia Xiaoju feel less nervous and distract her, Lu Shiyi asked her to buy drinks. On the way, a girl from No. 2 High School deliberately tripped her, and Xia Xiaoju fell, spilling the drink all over another girl. Xia Xiaoju then promised to give her the soap if she won, but she also sprained her ankle because of this.
After going back, Lu Shiyi told Xia Xiaoju that Lingling had an upset stomach in the morning and had trouble standing up, so she definitely couldn't rely on her for the race; it was all up to Xia Xiaoju. When Xia Xiaoju heard this, she didn't say that she had sprained her ankle and went all out to win the race. As soon as the race was over, her ankle hurt so much she couldn't stand up.
Lu Shiyi then carried Xia Xiaoju to the infirmary and also said how silly Xia Xiaoju was, and why she still participated even though her ankle was sprained. Just then, Bao Xiangxiang came in with the prize, which was a backpack. But he had already promised that girl he would give her the soap, and the soap was the prize for the high jump.
Just as Lu Shiyi was about to say he would participate in the high jump competition, Cheng Lang said he would win the soap back for Xia Xiaoju. So Cheng Lang went to participate in the high jump competition and successfully won the soap. But at this moment, Xia Xiaoju felt a bit reluctant to give it away. Just then, that girl came over, and Xia Xiaoju gave her the soap.
They also got to know each other, and Xia Xiaoju introduced her to everyone. It turned out her name was Lin You, and everyone felt it was a great coincidence. Just after Bao Xiangxiang finished his competition and also won, everyone also buried the hatchet with No. 14 High School. Just as everyone was about to go out for a meal to celebrate, Qiu Letao came over.
It turned out that the head teacher had found out and came to tip them off, telling them to run quickly. So Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang supported Xia Xiaoju, and everyone ran together.
Episode 5 Recap
The winter break was approaching. Teacher Zhang assigned homework and handed out test papers in the class. Everyone complained about having so much homework, saying it would be better not to have a break. The teacher also assigned another task, which was to decide which university to aim for and which major to choose. As soon as the teacher left, everyone started discussing it.
Lu Shiyi even said he would choose whatever major sounded cool, which the teacher happened to overhear. The teacher took this opportunity to scold him, saying that she hadn't settled the score with them for the sports meet incident yet, and that she would mainly check Lu Shiyi's homework after school started. On the way home from school, they went home together and found Cheng Lang's family's hair salon was very lively.
It turned out that Lu Shiyi's mother had returned from Guangzhou. Every time, Auntie Li was at the forefront of fashion. It so happened that Xia Xiaoju's mother was also getting her hair done at the salon and called Xia Xiaoju over to meet Auntie Li. She also brought her lots of delicious food and told Xia Xiaoju to take it home. When she left, she didn't forget to remind Xia Xiaoju to go home and do her homework.
Lu Shiyi was about to take the college entrance exam. His mother didn't plan to go out recently. Several parents were discussing majors together, and only then did Xia Xiaoju's mother realize how important it was to decide which major to apply for. Lu Shiyi's mother brought him a game console. Just as he was about to open it, his father came in and told him to call his mother upstairs. Lu Shiyi refused to go.
Finally, they started discussing the issue of majors. His father had listed a bunch of popular majors for him, but Lu Shiyi didn't listen. He felt that he definitely wouldn't like them. So the two of them started arguing. Fortunately, his mother returned in time, and they stopped arguing. In the evening, Xia Xiaoju watched TV with her father and brother. Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang were also playing games. Lu Shiyi's father came out to stop them.
On Xia Xiaoju's side, her mother also didn't let her watch TV. Jiashu ran off to study after barely saying a word. Her mother then started talking to Xia Xiaoju again. Xia Xiaoju's mother and father discussed the matter of college applications together. Since they didn't know how to fill it out, they found someone to give them guidance. Xia Xiaoju and her parents lined up to consult with Mr. Kong about filling out college applications.
However, Mr. Kong kept saying things that everyone already knew. Xia Xiaoju could tell if he was a fraud, but her parents believed him. Actually, he was just selling books, but Xia Xiaoju didn't buy any. He even told her mother that drinking garlic juice could improve memory, and then Xia Xiaoju's mother prepared a glass for her every day and watched her drink it. Cheng Lang was helping Xia Xiaoju with her homework.
Her brother and other children were playing around nearby. Lu Shiyi called them over, gave them candy, and told them not to disturb Xia Xiaoju's studying. Although Xia Xiaoju covered her mouth, Lu Shiyi insisted he could smell it and teased her. So Xia Xiaoju deliberately leaned in close to his mouth to "fumigate" him. The Chinese New Year was approaching. The alley was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers and was very lively.
People were hanging window decorations and popping popcorn. Xia Xiaoju's mother also specially made egg dumplings to take to Cheng Lang's mother. As she was leaving, Xia Xiaoju happened to see Lu Shiyi putting up a "Fu" character (for good fortune) and deliberately misled him into putting it up crookedly. The two of them started messing around again. Lu Shiyi said she ran so fast she might as well go to a sports academy.
Then Lu Shiyi took out the list of majors his father had written for him and gave it to her, telling her to use it as a reference. In the evening, while Xia Xiaoju's family was watching the Spring Festival Gala, Jiashu took that piece of paper and folded it into a plane. When Xia Xiaoju saw it, she scolded Jiashu again.
But Xia Xiaoju's mother thought it was no big deal and that Xia Xiaoju couldn't get into those majors anyway. This made Xia Xiaoju feel very wronged, and then she ran out. On the way, she happened to bump into Lu Shiyi. Seeing that Xia Xiaoju was in a bad mood, he took her to play with Cheng Lang. It turned out they had a secret base that they had decorated together.
The three of them played for a long time and watched fireworks. On the way back, they met Xia Xiaoju's father anxiously looking for her. Xia Xiaoju still felt that her father was good, and the balance in her heart tilted towards her father. So they went home together.
Episode 6 Recap
Everyone was having a class meeting. The teacher said this was the last class meeting before graduation. The teacher spoke earnestly to everyone and also asked everyone to come and collect the things that had been confiscated over the past three years. However, the teacher couldn't find Lu Shiyi's game console; it turned out he had already taken it himself earlier.
The teacher talked about life philosophy, about her expectations for them, saying that even in dangerous situations, they should be able to ride the wind and waves, never give up on themselves, learn to be grateful, be grateful to themselves, because who they are today is the result of yesterday's efforts, learn to be grateful to their parents, and to their alma mater, making everyone instantly full of fighting spirit.
On the day of the college entrance exam, Xia Xiaoju specially wore red clothes. The whole family was neatly waiting for Xia Xiaoju. On that day, her mother didn't forget to make Xia Xiaoju drink garlic juice. Just on the way, Xia Xiaoju started having stomach pain. Cheng Lang's mother also wanted to take him to the exam hall, but he wouldn't let her.
He felt that one exam wasn't a big deal, and he would be nervous if his mother went. When he left, his mother even stuffed a handful of candy into his hand. Lu Shiyi's father also insisted on taking him to the exam hall and wanted to take a taxi. When they left, they ran into Cheng Lang, who was still going by bike.
Xia Xiaoju's father happened to come out to see her off and saw her squatting by the roadside. He quickly went to buy her medicine. Xia Xiaoju watched as everyone went to the exam hall. Her father arrived then, having bought medicine and hot water. Xia Xiaoju felt much better after taking it. On the way to the exam hall by bike, Cheng Lang encountered a car accident.
This reminded him of the scene of his father's car accident when he was a child. Meanwhile, Cheng Lang's mother was clearing the dining table at home, and a plate fell to the ground and shattered. His mother felt something was wrong. Cheng Lang called for help on the road and also called 120. He gave candy to the crying little girl. At this moment, he saw his examination permit. After hesitating, he still chose to save this family.
He struggled to lift the car. At this time, Teacher Zhang was already waiting for everyone at the school gate, and didn't forget to remind them to stay calm and collected. Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju both arrived at the exam hall. Lu Shiyi escorted her to the exam hall. Just then, the ambulance arrived. Cheng Lang quickly rode his bike towards the exam hall, but the exam was about to start.
By the time Cheng Lang rushed to the exam hall, the school gates were already closed. No matter what he said, the security guard wouldn't let him in. Later, two parents and the teacher took Cheng Lang to the office to find the teacher in charge, but he said there was a regulation that he couldn't take the exam that had already started, no matter what.
Xia Xiaoju's father got anxious when he heard this, saying rules are dead, people are alive, why is he so unreasonable? So he insisted on taking Cheng Lang to the exam. Everyone stopped him, and finally, Cheng Lang decided not to take this exam. After returning, Cheng Lang's mother pretended that nothing was wrong and cooked for Cheng Lang, but she still cried when she thought of what happened.
However, she believed Cheng Lang did the right thing, because the exam could be retaken, but a person could not be left unsaved. For the afternoon exam, Xia Xiaoju's father and Lu Shiyi's father took them together, but Cheng Lang's mother was still worried and went along. The exam results came out. Xia Xiaoju's score was very ideal; she got 520 points and successfully got into Jiangda University as she wished.
Although Cheng Lang didn't take one subject, he still scored higher than Xia Xiaoju and could get into Jiangda University without a problem. Lu Shiyi also successfully got into Jiangda University. Everyone gathered for a class reunion, but Cheng Lang didn't come. Xia Xiaoju's parents also asked Xia Xiaoju to think of a way to make Cheng Lang happier, as these things were already in the past. So Xia Xiaoju lay by the bed, thinking about how to make Cheng Lang happy. Lu Shiyi was also thinking of a way.
Episode 7 Recap
Everyone was drinking drinks together, but Cheng Lang still didn't come out. To make Cheng Lang a bit happier, everyone was thinking of ways. Suddenly, Xia Xiaoju remembered that Cheng Lang had said he wanted to see the sea after the college entrance exam. So, everyone discussed going to see the sea together. At this time, Cheng Lang was sleeping at home.
Everyone suddenly rushed in, dragged him out of bed, packed his luggage for him, changed his clothes, and took their things and left. Cheng Lang was still in a dazed state. Only after being escorted out did he realize they were going to see the sea. Cheng Lang's mother was still a little worried, but Xia Xiaoju told her not to worry, saying that they would definitely bring back a happy Cheng Lang.
At the station, everyone racked their brains trying to make Cheng Lang happy. While fooling around, Bao Xiangxiang's money fell out. He then said his pockets were a bit shallow and gave his money to Xia Xiaoju to keep. Then Qiu Letao also wanted Xia Xiaoju to keep her money, saying it would be more convenient to use. However, Lu Shiyi didn't give his; he felt Xia Xiaoju was the least reliable and wasn't comfortable leaving his money with her.
On the train, everyone played cards together. They actually mocked Xia Xiaoju for her low intelligence. Xia Xiaoju then took Qiu Letao's bag, which also contained magazines, and sat next to them eating snacks. Cheng Lang and Lu Shiyi, as one team, completely dominated the other two. Their parents were sorting vegetables in Cheng Lang's mother's hair salon.
Talking about Cheng Lang's college entrance exam, his mother started blaming herself again, feeling that she should have gone with Cheng Lang at the time, so that saving people would have been her business, and Cheng Lang wouldn't have missed the exam. Then Lu Shiyi's mother and Xia Xiaoju's mother both comforted her. As for Lu Shiyi this time, he very strangely agreed to fill in the major his father wanted.
Xia Xiaoju looked at the signs of liking someone in the magazine, and her heart and eyes unconsciously darted towards Cheng Lang. Qiu Letao saw it all. She had already figured out that Xia Xiaoju liked Cheng Lang. Just as the train arrived at the station, when Xia Xiaoju was getting her bag, Cheng Lang accidentally pulled Xia Xiaoju's wrist while helping her. Xia Xiaoju's heart thumped, and her face turned red.
Lu Shiyi saw this and thought Xia Xiaoju had a fever, so he touched himself to test the temperature. After getting off the train, everyone went to the hotel to book rooms. It was then that Xia Xiaoju realized her bag was missing. So she rummaged through all her things, and everyone else helped search everything, but couldn't find it. It was then that Xia Xiaoju remembered she had left it on the train earlier.
Xia Xiaoju felt very guilty, but everyone said it was okay. Lu Shiyi even reminded her what they were here for and looked at Cheng Lang. At this point, Xia Xiaoju said, it's okay, we'll just play here for a day and then leave. We can still have fun even without money. Then Xia Xiaoju took everyone to a scenic area, and halfway there, they climbed a mountain called Qingshan. During the climb, everyone was playing around happily.
While playing with them, Xia Xiaoju accidentally tripped. Both Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang reached out their hands to her. Xia Xiaoju was probably shy, so she gave her hand to Lu Shiyi. It turned out that after climbing over this mountain, there was the sea on the other side. This was specially prepared by Xia Xiaoju for Cheng Lang. Everyone was very happy and ran towards the beach together, playing by the sea.
However, Lu Shiyi had a phobia of water because he had fallen into the water as a child and was even teased by everyone. Everyone had a great time and didn't want to leave. So they went to work at a seaside restaurant and earned 70 yuan. This way, they could pitch tents by the sea at night. The boss was very nice and even treated everyone to a meal.
Episode 8 Recap
Everyone was strolling through the market by the sea. Xia Xiaoju took a fancy to a hair clip. Lu Shiyi even mocked that the hair clip was really ugly, but it was very suitable for Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju hadn't intended to buy it anyway, so she got angry with Lu Shiyi. However, Lu Shiyi let them go first and bought the hair clip for Xia Xiaoju himself. They were picking up firewood by the sea.
Qiu Letao secretly asked Xia Xiaoju when she would confess to Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju adamantly denied liking Cheng Lang and told Qiu Letao not to mess around. However, as soon as Qiu Letao got back, she had Cheng Lang take Xia Xiaoju to pick up firewood. Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang strolled along the beach, and Xia Xiaoju even secretly held Cheng Lang's hand using the shadow cast by the sun.
In the evening, everyone sat around the bonfire chatting. Although Cheng Lang felt that the place Xia Xiaoju chose was really good, Xia Xiaoju still felt very sorry about losing the money. However, Lu Shiyi comforted her, saying wasn't it resolved quite well, so just don't think about it anymore. At this point, Qiu Letao suggested playing a game, Truth or Dare. Cheng Lang lost the first round.
Qiu Letao suggested skipping this round for now and having the person with the highest card in the next round be carried by Cheng Lang in a princess carry around the beach. Everyone agreed. Then in the next round, Qiu Letao intentionally dealt the highest card to Xia Xiaoju, but Xia Xiaoju was too embarrassed to be princess carried, so she secretly swapped cards with Lu Shiyi. So, Cheng Lang princess carried Lu Shiyi and walked around the beach.
In the next round, Xia Xiaoju lost again. Qiu Letao wanted to ask her in truth who she liked. Xia Xiaoju said she liked "Li Ming," but was told not to name celebrities. So Xia Xiaoju said Cheng Lang. Everyone was surprised. Then Xia Xiaoju said it was the Cheng Lang from the TV series "Wu Hui Jin Sheng". Bao Xiangxiang even asked if "this" Cheng Lang was okay, and Cheng Lang said don't joke around.
Cheng Lang lost the next round again and was asked to sing. Bao Xiangxiang sang for him but suddenly became sentimental and asked why they had to take the college entrance exam. Everyone was also confused. Bao Xiangxiang also said he hated people like Lu Shiyi who could study for only three months and score well, and also people like Cheng Lang who missed one subject but still scored very high.
However, those two were still his best buddies and the people he admired most, and everyone else was also their best friends. They all held hands and sang by the sea together. Cheng Lang suggested not sleeping and watching the sunrise together, but everyone was tired. However, Xia Xiaoju thought to herself that she could go with him, but she still didn't say it out loud. In the middle of the night, Xia Xiaoju's stomach started hurting.
She then walked out of the tent and happened to see Cheng Lang also coming out. When she asked, she found out Xia Xiaoju had a stomach ache. So Cheng Lang took Lu Shiyi's wallet and took Xia Xiaoju to the clinic for an IV drip. He also kept taking care of her. The doctor even praised Cheng Lang for knowing how to take care of his girlfriend, but Cheng Lang didn't object to the comment about the girlfriend.
When they came back, they just caught the sunrise. She and Cheng Lang walked along the beach together, feeling very happy. When they returned, they realized Lu Shiyi and Qiu Letao had been looking for them, but they didn't know where Bao Xiangxiang had gone. Everyone quickly went to look for him. Just then, Qiu Letao found a letter written by Bao Xiangxiang in the tent.
It turned out he was going to Shenzhen to make a living and didn't want a scene of parting, so he had secretly left first. Everyone quickly ran to the train station to find him. Bao Xiangxiang was also hiding from them on the train. Everyone cried and were very reluctant to let Bao Xiangxiang go, and he was also very reluctant to leave everyone. When he left, Bao Xiangxiang even left them money to buy train tickets.
Just like that, they went back. Meanwhile, the parents at home received the admission letters from Jiang University. However, Lu Shiyi's mother opened his and realized something was wrong. It turned out Lu Shiyi had secretly changed his application to medicine. After they came back, Lu Shiyi's father got angry, picked up a stick, and was about to hit him. No one could stop him.
Lu Shiyi also said that he wouldn't give up halfway like he did back then, that he had always liked medicine, and that he had the right to make decisions for his own life. Although what he said was right, his father still wanted to hit him. This time, even his mother couldn't control him.
Episode 9 Recap
Everyone was busy in the streets and alleys. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were discussing at home while looking at a magazine. Giving gifts, being happy for you when you're happy, giving Xia Xiaoju a shell wind chime, being by your side to comfort you when you're sad. The result of their discussion was that Cheng Lang might like Xia Xiaoju. They also said that when a boy likes you, he will care about your health, and so on.
Cheng Lang was helping his mother, Ding Wanfang, move coal at home, afraid he wouldn't be able to help her after school started. His mother came out to wipe his sweat and gave him living expenses. Cheng Lang didn't want it, thinking he wouldn't spend that much. Lu Shiyi's mother, Li Xiaohong, said Cheng Lang was good, their father and son were still in a cold war. Cheng Lang's mother asked if it was still because of the past incident.
Xia Xiaoju's mother, Feng Keyu, then asked what happened. Lu Shiyi's mother said that her husband, Lu Xiude, had a medical accident before and had been unable to get over it. Lu Shiyi was packing his luggage at home. His mother, Li Xiaohong, suddenly found the shell hair clip he bought for Xia Xiaoju. She also teased her son, saying he had grown up. Lu Shiyi said it was Xia Xiaoju's. " Then why is Xia Xiaoju's thing with you?"
his mother asked. Lu Shiyi's father, Lu Xiude, was reading in the living room. While Lu Shiyi went to the balcony, he secretly put a few medical books in his room. Both of them were suffering in silence due to pride, neither taking the initiative to speak, clearly caring about each other in their hearts. After Cheng Lang went back, he secretly took out half of his living expenses and put it in his room.
Xia Xiaoju was packing her luggage, but hadn't finished yet, when her brother, Xia Jiazhu, kept coming to bother her and even put his own things in. Xia Xiaoju had just taken down the shell wind chime when her brother came over and accidentally knocked it to the ground and stepped on it, breaking it. Xia Xiaoju got angry and pushed Xia Jiazhu, causing him to bump into the table.
Her mother, Feng Keyu, came in and scolded Xia Xiaoju indiscriminately, even saying it would be peaceful once she was gone, and always telling Xia Xiaoju to give in to her brother. Xia Xiaoju immediately got angry, then kicked the stool, expressing her long-held frustrations. She grabbed her suitcase and schoolbag and left, but she forgot to bring her diary. As soon as she went out, she was seen by Cheng Lang, who chased after her.
Lu Shiyi also heard and came over. The two of them escorted Xia Xiaoju to Jiang University, went in and helped her find her dormitory. Lu Shiyi also thoughtfully bought her sheets, bedding, and a thermos. After Cheng Lang left, Lu Shiyi gave her the shell wind chime he had bought for her by the sea. Xia Xiaoju was surprised, asking why he bought it for her when he thought it was ugly at first.
Lu Shiyi, being sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, said something unpleasant again and was chased out. That evening, Xia Xiaoju lay in the dormitory alone, thinking about the scenes of arguing with her brother and mother at home, feeling very upset. Her mother, Feng Keyu, also saw Xia Xiaoju's diary and learned what she was thinking. The next day, everyone came to report.
Xia Xiaoju saw how lively it was with other families coming to send their children to school and felt very lonely in her heart. However, luckily, Qiu Letao was in the same dormitory as her, and they were both very excited. When Lu Shiyi arrived at the dormitory, he unexpectedly found a domineering roommate who told him to leave, saying he had taken the whole dorm room. However, Lu Shiyi easily subdued him.
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao went out for a stroll together and encountered a rude and unreasonable stall owner who insisted on making them buy silk scarves, attracting a crowd of onlookers. Just then, Lin You suddenly appeared and threatened to call the police, saving them. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were very grateful to Lin You and agreed to have a meal together, but Lin You left because her dance club had a rehearsal.
Cheng Lang told Xia Xiaoju that he was going to audit classes in the Computer Science department. So Xia Xiaoju took Cheng Lang to find Lin You. As soon as Cheng Lang saw Lin You's graceful dance moves, he was attracted. Lin You also agreed to lend Cheng Lang books.
Episode 10 Recap
Lu Shiyi and his roommate Huang Jun were secretly watching DVDs in the dormitory. After lights out, they illegally connected wires and were discovered by the dorm supervisor. As a result, all their belongings were confiscated, including the DVDs. Cheng Lang didn't say a good word for them. Lu Shiyi even asked why Cheng Lang didn't speak up for his brother.
Cheng Lang replied by asking why Lu Shiyi didn't think of him when they were watching the DVDs, and even blamed Lu Shiyi for neglecting him. So the two of them went out for a walk together. At this time, Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao happened to see Lu Shiyi's notice. Lu Shiyi immediately tore it off. The four of them went to look at the clubs together, which was very lively.
Xia Xiaoju wanted to join the track and field club. Lu Shiyi actually said that she was just an amateur runner, but he seemed to have forgotten the time he asked Xia Xiaoju to participate in a competition. As they walked, they saw the basketball club. Xia Xiaoju also wanted to join. Lu Shiyi then teased Xia Xiaoju about being short and not recruiting girls. As a result, someone popped out and spoke to Lu Shiyi.
It was Shen Duo, the basketball club coach assistant. Lu Shiyi said that he didn't want to join because such a person was acting so stuck-up. As he left, he casually took a shot and surprisingly made it. Everyone was shocked, and he himself was also very surprised because it was a lucky shot. In Xia Xiaoju's dormitory, they were discussing which clubs they had joined.
Qiu Letao quietly talked to Xia Xiaoju and discussed inviting Cheng Lang to dinner for Xia Xiaoju's birthday as an opportunity to confess. The first university class officially began. Everyone listened very attentively. Cheng Lang went to audit the Computer Science course and even sat next to Lin You. Lin You lent him her book to read. The teacher asked who designed the world's first computer, and Cheng Lang answered it correctly.
Shen Duo took a few basketball club members to find Lu Shiyi and told him there was a chance to participate in the university league. Lu Shiyi was swayed and agreed to join the basketball club, then left. The club members even asked if Shen Duo was recruiting new members for the basketball club or looking for a boyfriend for herself. She actually said she wanted both.
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao went to the tape store where Cheng Lang worked. Qiu Letao created an opportunity for the two of them, but Cheng Lang said there was nothing he needed help with and told Xia Xiaoju to look around by herself first. At this time, a girl came to buy a tape and even gave Cheng Lang her contact information, but Cheng Lang refused.
Only then did Xia Xiaoju realize that many girls liked Cheng Lang and felt a sense of crisis. Xia Xiaoju stammered, wanting to ask Cheng Lang if he was free tonight, but Cheng Lang said he had to go home to accompany his mother, so Xia Xiaoju didn't mention the birthday. While looking for tapes, Qiu Letao happened to find the same book as Lu Shiyi's roommate Huang Jun.
He teased Qiu Letao by pretending to snatch the tape from her, but in the end, he still gave it to her. They surprisingly had a common interest, both liking the band Beyond, and their favorite song was 'Like You'. Huang Jun said he could play it, and Qiu Letao didn't believe it. So Huang Jun played for Qiu Letao. Unexpectedly, it sounded so good that Qiu Letao was captivated.
Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang watched from the side and smiled. In the dormitory, Xia Xiaoju heard that Qiu Letao's parents were going on a trip together, but Qiu Letao wasn't going home to accompany her parents because of her. Xia Xiaoju felt guilty and told Qiu Letao to go home quickly. Helpless, Xia Xiaoju went to find Lu Shiyi, but he was training. She said she wanted to treat him to dinner.
Lu Shiyi pretended to be reluctant and didn't want to go. Xia Xiaoju didn't say it was her birthday today, so she didn't ask further. She went back to the dormitory and started making instant noodles. She also started to miss home. Of course, her parents also missed Xia Xiaoju very much. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from outside the door.
She went out and saw that everyone hadn't forgotten her birthday and had specially prepared a surprise for her. Lu Shiyi also bought a cake for Xia Xiaoju. Everyone gathered together and let Xia Xiaoju make a wish. After chatting for a while, Lin You seemed to see someone and chased after them. She accidentally bumped into some drunk men who had finished drinking.
So everyone was about to fight, and then Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi, Cheng Lang, and Lin You ran out together. Huang Jun took Qiu Letao on his electric bike. As they ran, Cheng Lang reached out his hand, and Xia Xiaoju held it. Lu Shiyi also reached out his hand, but Xia Xiaoju had already held Cheng Lang's hand. Lu Shiyi seemed a little unhappy. Then the drunk men stopped chasing, and they returned to school.
When she got back to the dormitory, Xia Xiaoju's mother came to see her and brought her favorite food. Xia Xiaoju immediately burst into tears, realizing she was wrong, and apologized to her mother. Her mother also said how could she not like Xia Xiaoju? Xia Xiaoju and her mother hugged and reconciled. This birthday was truly unforgettable for Xia Xiaoju.
Episode 11 Recap
Xia Xiaoju was tidying up in the dormitory when Qiu Letao suddenly came in and said she was in love. Xia Xiaoju was startled. After carefully recalling, Qiu Letao had been walking with Huang Jun just now, so she made her confess the truth. Qiu Letao said that just now, Huang Jun had given her a ride, and there was a moment when his silhouette was particularly handsome. Xia Xiaoju then recalled Cheng Lang jumping high.
Xia Xiaoju told Qiu Letao that she held hands with Cheng Lang. Qiu Letao immediately said that Cheng Lang definitely liked Xia Xiaoju, and even if he didn't, she was different from other girls. If she didn't believe it, just ask Xiaoliang. Only then did she remember that she had forgotten the other two roommates in the restaurant, and hurried back to find them.
When she fell asleep at night, Qiu Letao also recalled the scene of coming back with Huang Jun. Xia Xiaoju also couldn't sleep for a long time, recalling the scene of Cheng Lang holding her hand and running, and also imagining other scenes. Suddenly, a girl called him, Cheng Lang left, and then a voice of Xia Xiaoju woke Xia Xiaoju up, it turned out to be a dream, Xia Xiaoju actually fell asleep in math class.
This made Xia Xiaoju completely lose face in class. Qiu Letao said that everyone would forget about this in a few days. Xia Xiaoju hugged Qiu Letao and asked her why she didn't wake her up. Qiu Letao said she didn't notice. Xia Xiaoju snatched the notebook and found that Qiu Letao had written a notebook full of Huang Jun's name. Qiu Letao also said that Xia Xiaoju kept calling Cheng Lang's name and kept encouraging her to confess.
So, quickly and decisively, she took Xia Xiaoju to the gymnasium. Cheng Lang and Lu Shiyi were practicing ball, Shen Duo and a girl were also watching. After Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao arrived, Qiu Letao encouraged Xia Xiaoju to deliver water. She also delivered water to Huang Jun. As soon as Xia Xiaoju walked over, she found that the girl next to Shen Duo had delivered water to Cheng Lang, and Xia Xiaoju was stunned.
At this time, Shen Duo delivered water to Lu Shiyi, he happened to see Xia Xiaoju, so he refused Shen Duo, saying he had some, then went to find Xia Xiaoju and took the water to drink. Cheng Lang also kept refusing the girl who delivered the water. Lu Shiyi gave all the water to Cheng Lang, but she still insisted on asking him to open it.
Xia Xiaoju then said she would help him, but she didn't unscrew it, so she bit it open directly, and the girl who delivered the water left. Everyone went to dinner together, and Xia Xiaoju wiped the table for Cheng Lang. Lu Shiyi also said why she didn't wipe it for him. While talking, Xia Xiaoju saw Lin You and called her over to eat together.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoju saw the advanced mathematics book in Lin You's hand, and began to complain that advanced mathematics was difficult. Unexpectedly, Lin You couldn't learn it either. Cheng Lang then promised Xia Xiaoju to tutor her, and also let Lin You come to listen. Xia Xiaoju actually readily agreed, and even took the initiative to invite Lin You to come to listen, which scared Qiu Letao. After dinner, Cheng Lang was going to work at the video store.
Qiu Letao wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them, so she asked Xia Xiaoju to buy some candied chestnuts next to the video store, so she called everyone to leave, leaving Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang to walk alone. Xia Xiaoju was restless along the way, thinking about how to open her mouth, and unconsciously walked to the door of the video store, but she didn't say it stutteringly.
So Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao decided to confess in another way, and also consulted the roommate who likes to read novels. So Xia Xiaoju began to fold stars day and night, and also wrote words on the notes. On the day of math tutoring, Xia Xiaoju also dressed up specially and wore a skirt, so did Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju didn't listen to the tutoring at all, and was thinking about how to give him this bottle of stars.
So, while Cheng Lang went to the bathroom, she put it on Cheng Lang's desk. After he came back, he didn't think much about it. Xia Xiaoju asked him if he liked it, and he actually said how could he like it? Isn't this what you little girls like? Xia Xiaoju then put it away. Cheng Lang said he had two more classes in a while, and he would come back to teach Xia Xiaoju after finishing them.
After Cheng Lang finished class, Huang Jun told him that the people at the video store asked him to take a shift, and the phone was called to the dormitory. Cheng Lang asked Huang Jun to tell Xia Xiaoju that he didn't need to wait for him, but Huang Jun forgot about this on the road. Xia Xiaoju waited until the library closed, and was still waiting outside the library. At this time, Lu Shiyi happened to pass by, and teased Xia Xiaoju a little, accidentally causing her to fall.
Episode 12 Recap
Although Lu Shiyi cares about Xia Xiaoju, he still teases her on the surface. The two are by the river. Lu Shiyi said he just nudged her gently with his foot, unexpectedly. . . Xia Xiaoju started hitting him. Suddenly, Xia Xiaoju grabbed his ear. Lu Shiyi seemed to be moved, his face turned red. Then he pushed Xia Xiaoju away, saying he was going to practice basketball. Xia Xiaoju followed him.
Lu Shiyi recalled the scene just now, thinking it must have been because they were too close. Cheng Lang came back at this time and asked Lu Shiyi to borrow his Dabao cream to apply. Lu Shiyi said it was in his locker, telling him to change his clothes and come to practice quickly. At this time, Huang Jun and Shen Duo came over with the signs they had made.
Xia Xiaoju secretly sneaked into the lounge and saw Cheng Lang applying something. She also remembered the locker. However, Cheng Lang was in front of Lu Shiyi's locker at the time. So, Xia Xiaoju mistakenly took Cheng Lang's locker as Lu Shiyi's and put the stars in it. Huang Jun barged in, and Xia Xiaoju explained that she was just looking around. After she left, Huang Jun opened Lu Shiyi's locker and found a bottle of stars.
He quickly called Lu Shiyi over, saying that Xia Xiaoju must like him. Lu Shiyi was a little happy in his heart, but when Huang Jun said that Shen Duo might also like him, Lu Shiyi immediately became unhappy and asked if Huang Jun was itching for a beating, telling him to change his clothes and go to practice basketball. The next day, Xia Xiaoju was wondering if Cheng Lang had seen it.
Qiu Letao suggested that Huang Jun should ask. Xia Xiaoju disagreed, thinking he was unreliable, and Lu Shiyi wouldn't work either. So, the two decided to go to the gymnasium themselves to see. Lu Shiyi was secretly looking at the stars in the dormitory. When Huang Jun came in, he hid them, but Huang Jun still saw them. Although Huang Jun kept wanting to see them, Lu Shiyi still sent him away, dragging him to see the league schedule.
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao arrived at the gymnasium. Just as they were about to go in, they saw the girl next to Shen Duo secretly throwing away a letter someone else had written to Cheng Lang. They went over to argue with her. She actually said she could throw it away if she wanted to, and it was none of their business. Xia Xiaoju then thought that the stars she had folded had also been thrown away.
She and Qiu Letao were talking about confessing after the league was over to avoid distracting him. Coincidentally, Lu Shiyi heard this, and he misunderstood again, thinking that Xia Xiaoju liked him. Early in the morning, Qiu Letao started to dress up. When Xia Xiaoju asked, she found out that she was going out with Huang Jun. Qiu Letao decided to make a move as soon as possible and make him her boyfriend. Xia Xiaoju admired Qiu Letao very much.
Huang Jun rode his electric bike carrying Qiu Letao, laughing and talking all the way. Suddenly, a few children ran into the road, Huang Jun braked, and the two of them fell. Huang Jun also injured his leg. Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi, and Cheng Lang went to the hospital to see them. Xia Xiaoju suggested buying fruit, not going empty-handed.
Lu Shiyi was soft-hearted but sharp-tongued, saying that it was good enough that he came to see him and brought him clothes. As he said that, he gave his wallet to Cheng Lang, saying, "You guys go." Xia Xiaoju then went with Cheng Lang, picking leaves and playing the harmonica on the way. When they arrived at the hospital, they found out that Huang Jun was doing it on purpose. His injury wasn't very serious. Qiu Letao was secretly laughing.
After they had only been there for a while, Cheng Lang said he had to go to work soon. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoju created an opportunity for Qiu Letao and Huang Jun, calling Lu Shiyi to leave together. On the way, Lu Shiyi asked Xia Xiaoju if she really hoped he could win. Xia Xiaoju said, "Of course, who wouldn't want their school to win?" The league started. Qiu Letao, driving Huang Jun, also went to watch.
Xia Xiaoju was already waiting in the stadium. In the first two games, Jiang University didn't have an advantage. The opponent kept surrounding Cheng Lang, not letting him serve. The only one who could score was Lu Shiyi. So, in the last game, they changed their strategy. Just as it was nearing the end, Xia Xiaoju stood up to cheer for Lu Shiyi, and also called on everyone to cheer together, instantly giving Lu Shiyi fighting spirit.
Lu Shiyi directly dunked, winning the game with his own strength. After the game, Xia Xiaoju was going to confess to Cheng Lang. But she hugged Lu Shiyi from behind. After expressing her feelings, she ran into Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju was stunned. When she turned her head, she realized that she had hugged Lu Shiyi just now.
Episode 13 Recap
Xia Xiaoju learned that the person she had hugged was Lu Shiyi and felt extremely awkward. After returning to the dormitory, she talked about this with Qiu Letao, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Lu Shiyi in his dormitory also kept recalling Xia Xiaoju's confession just now. Although he kept telling himself not to think about it, he was still very happy inside.
Xia Xiaoju felt too embarrassed, afraid that Lu Shiyi would take it seriously, and what if he told Cheng Lang? At this time, Lu Shiyi went to find Cheng Lang, wanting to talk about this. He kept hesitating until Cheng Lang noticed and told him to hurry up and say it, but Lu Shiyi only said it was about a friend of his who was confessed to by a friend of the opposite sex.
Xia Xiaoju couldn't sit still and wanted to find Lu Shiyi. Qiu Letao advised her, saying it was so late, where could she find him? Xia Xiaoju then went to call. However, at this time, Lu Shiyi was staying in Cheng Lang's dormitory, and Huang Jun wasn't there either, so the phone kept ringing with no one answering. Finally, someone from the dormitory next to Lu Shiyi's answered it.
Cheng Lang actually guessed if Xia Xiaoju had confessed to Lu Shiyi, but Lu Shiyi denied it. Cheng Lang then lied to him, saying, "Yeah, how could Xia Xiaoju possibly like you?" Lu Shiyi even got angry and was about to leave, not forgetting to remind him to light the mosquito coil.
After Lu Shiyi returned to his dormitory, the person next door told him that Xia Xiaoju had called him earlier, asking to meet him at the library entrance at noon tomorrow. The next day, as soon as Lu Shiyi woke up, he started dressing up elaborately, even spraying hairspray and carefully matching his clothes before going out. He specifically waited for her where Xia Xiaoju had class.
Xia Xiaoju was sitting on pins and needles in class, anxiously waiting for class to end. As soon as the class bell rang, Xia Xiaoju ran out, not seeing Lu Shiyi waiting for her at the entrance. It was Lu Shiyi who called her name. Without waiting for Xia Xiaoju to speak, Lu Shiyi was going to take her somewhere. On the way, he didn't say where they were going, and even took a bus.
On the bus, Lu Shiyi wanted to help Xia Xiaoju carry her bag. When the bus braked suddenly, Lu Shiyi pulled Xia Xiaoju, snatched her bag, and carried it for her. He also gave her the empty seat, displaying various "boyfriend-like" actions. Xia Xiaoju was very anxious inside, just afraid that Lu Shiyi would misunderstand and like her too. Lu Shiyi took her to a high-end Western restaurant and ordered steak.
Xia Xiaoju asked him why they came to such an expensive restaurant. Lu Shiyi smiled and said he was treating her this time. Then Xia Xiaoju said she had something to tell him. Lu Shiyi said he knew, and was about to agree to the confession when Xia Xiaoju said the confession was a misunderstanding, that she had lost while playing truth or dare with Qiu Letao and chose dare.
Lu Shiyi pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but was actually very angry inside. However, he still said he didn't take it seriously. Furthermore, he brought her to this restaurant precisely because he was afraid she would feel sad if he rejected her. After the steak was served, Xia Xiaoju loved eating it and even said she would invite Cheng Lang next time. Lu Shiyi was very angry.
On the bus back, he didn't help Xia Xiaoju carry her bag anymore, and when the bus braked, he didn't pull her, causing Xia Xiaoju to fall. When an empty seat became available, he sat in it himself and didn't give it to Xia Xiaoju anymore. As soon as Xia Xiaoju returned to the dormitory, she was startled. Qiu Letao and the others had arranged a lot of flowers and other things.
It turned out they were going to confess to Huang Jun. They also asked Xia Xiaoju to help, to delay Huang Jun's return to school tomorrow until the evening, when they were going to confess to him. Xia Xiaoju naturally agreed. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi tried everything, going to the restroom, going to eat, just to delay Huang Jun's return to school until the evening. As soon as Huang Jun got back, he saw many people and many flowers.
Xia Xiaoju said someone was confessing and quickly pushed Huang Jun over. Huang Jun was surprised and delighted when he saw it and immediately hugged Qiu Letao. Just like that, Qiu Letao's confession was successful. After returning to the dormitory, Xia Xiaoju was inspired by Qiu Letao's confession this time and decided to sign up for the campus singing competition. Qiu Letao also wanted to participate.
Episode 14 Recap
Xia Xiaoju, Qiu Letao, Huang Jun, and Lu Shiyi practiced singing together in the dormitory, but after two weeks of practice, there was no progress at all. Huang Jun told her to play the instrumental track, but Xia Xiaoju felt it didn't feel right. Lu Shiyi even mocked Xia Xiaoju for having a "hoarse voice" and showed off his own singing and guitar skills.
Xia Xiaoju was shocked; she hadn't expected Lu Shiyi to be so good at playing the guitar. Then Huang Jun handed over the task of teaching Xia Xiaoju to Lu Shiyi and left with Qiu Letao. Xia Xiaoju's practice became more and more progressive. Her singing was okay, but she still made some mistakes when playing. So she asked Lu Shiyi to press the left hand while she pressed the right hand, and it went very well.
Her singing also sounded better, and the two of them had a great time practicing together. Suddenly, Xia Xiaoju's hands were bruised. Lu Shiyi was very worried and told Xia Xiaoju to stop practicing. He asked if it was worth working so hard for a singing competition, and also said that Xia Xiaoju had a problem with her head for participating in a singing competition with such bad singing. After saying a few sentences, he left.
It turned out he went to buy medicine. He came back to disinfect Xia Xiaoju's hand and carefully put on a bandage. Xia Xiaoju thanked him. Lu Shiyi said that a "thank you" wasn't worth much; he wanted to eat hot pot. Xia Xiaoju promised to treat him after the singing competition. When Xia Xiaoju was eating in the canteen, Cheng Lang happened to see her and came over to eat with her.
Seeing Xia Xiaoju's hand, he was very concerned about her. Xia Xiaoju said it was fine, just a little bruise. Cheng Lang gave Xia Xiaoju a large chicken drumstick. Xia Xiaoju kept practicing in the dormitory, but her roommates really couldn't stand it and jokingly told her to practice outside. Xia Xiaoju actually went out to practice. She happened to see Lu Shiyi outside, and Lu Shiyi accompanied her to practice for a while.
As a result, someone emerged and said that although Xia Xiaoju sang well, could she please let them read quietly. So Lu Shiyi took Xia Xiaoju to another place. They came to a place with few people and a nice environment, and the weather was also very good. Xia Xiaoju was very happy and sang completely freely. She also asked Lu Shiyi if she was disturbing his reading.
Lu Shiyi said no, and then pushed in the earplugs he had brought. Xia Xiaoju sang for a long time and needed a break. When she talked to Lu Shiyi, Lu Shiyi didn't react. Xia Xiaoju felt strange, ran over, and saw the earplugs. Lu Shiyi looked up and was startled. The two of them rolled onto the grass. Xia Xiaoju kept chasing after him, asking what the earplugs were, and if he disliked her singing.
She almost fell on top of Lu Shiyi. Lu Shiyi felt a bit unable to control himself, quickly got up, grabbed his backpack, and left without waiting for Xia Xiaoju. After Huang Jun returned to the dormitory, he found that Lu Shiyi had already been lying in bed early. Lu Shiyi saw Xia Xiaoju in everything; his mind was constantly replaying the scene where Xia Xiaoju almost fell on him.
He kept telling himself that there was no way he could like her. Huang Jun was quite curious about who he liked. Xia Xiaoju met Cheng Lang again while eating today and learned that Lu Shiyi was sick, so she went to deliver food to Lu Shiyi for Cheng Lang. Lu Shiyi was reading in the dormitory, but inside the book were photos of Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao taken at the beach before. He was staring at Xia Xiaoju.
When Xia Xiaoju came in, he was startled, quickly ran to Cheng Lang's dormitory to wash up, and tidied his hair. When he came back, he just saw Xia Xiaoju about to flip through the book where he had just put the photos. He quickly ran over and snatched the book, secretly putting it under his pillow, but Huang Jun saw it. Xia Xiaoju thoughtfully brought water for Lu Shiyi and tidied up the room.
When Xia Xiaoju left, Lu Shiyi went to see her out. Huang Jun flipped through the book and saw the photos. He actually suspected Lu Shiyi liked Qiu Letao and questioned Lu Shiyi. However, Lu Shiyi finally admitted that he liked Xia Xiaoju and even tore off the half of the photo with Qiu Letao on it for him. This made Huang Jun feel relieved. Xia Xiaoju helped Cheng Lang organize videos.
Cheng Lang suddenly asked her what kind of gift would be suitable for a girl. Xia Xiaoju gave him ideas, suggesting things like hair clips and hats. Xia Xiaoju was very happy, thinking that Cheng Lang was giving them to her. The campus singing competition began. Xia Xiaoju put on makeup, and Lin You specially brought her a dress, making her look very pretty. Cheng Lang and Lu Shiyi also came.
When they were joking around, they happened to throw a bag out. Xia Xiaoju helped pick it up and found it was a hat. She was very happy. After Qiu Letao and Huang Jun finished singing, it was Xia Xiaoju's turn. As soon as Xia Xiaoju opened her mouth, she said she wanted to dedicate this song to Cheng Lang, but then she saw that the hat Lin You was wearing was given by Cheng Lang.
It turned out that Cheng Lang had always liked Lin You. She changed her words and said she would dedicate this song to everyone, and finished singing with tears in her eyes. Lu Shiyi also encouraged Xia Xiaoju and cheered her on along with everyone else.
Episode 15 Recap
Xia Xiaoju kept running on the playground. She ran for a long time before stopping to drink some water, and was about to continue running when Qiu Letao stopped her and asked what was wrong. Only then did Xia Xiaoju say it was because Cheng Lang gave the gift to Lin You, and the person Cheng Lang liked was Lin You. Lu Shiyi was lying in the dormitory, recalling why Xia Xiaoju cried when she sang at that time.
He also asked Huang Jun, but he was immersed in music and didn't hear him until he called several times. Lu Shiyi asked Huang Jun to ask Qiu Letao what was going on with Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju was lying face down in the dormitory. She didn't hear her phone ringing. Qiu Letao thought Xia Xiaoju wasn't in the dormitory. Qiu Letao comforted Xia Xiaoju and said it wasn't unfair to lose to Lin You.
Xia Xiaoju felt that no one comforts people like Qiu Letao. She even refused to go when Cheng Lang asked her to tutor. Lin You had washed the clothes she borrowed from Xia Xiaoju, but Xia Xiaoju didn't want to go and told Lin You to return them herself. Huang Jun called Qiu Letao out, and together with Lu Shiyi, they asked her about Xia Xiaoju. Although Qiu Letao didn't say why, they still guessed pretty close to the truth.
Xia Xiaoju was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Cheng Lang happened to come over, and Xia Xiaoju even hid. Just then, Lin You suddenly came over, and only then did Cheng Lang see her. The three of them got on the bus together. On the bus, Lin You saw the woman who was with her father last time, so she got off the bus before the stop and ran away.
Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang also chased after her. When they caught up, they found Lin You fighting with that woman. The two of them went to break up the fight, and Xia Xiaoju was even accidentally injured. Afterwards, Cheng Lang was very concerned about Lin You. Although he also asked how Xia Xiaoju was, compared to his concern for Lin You, it was insignificant. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju realized how ridiculous and self-important she had been before.
But no matter what, Lin You was also her friend. That evening, Xia Xiaoju went home. Her mother made her chicken wings and didn't forget to check on her when she saw Xia Xiaoju's sprained wrist. That evening, Lin You called Xia Xiaoju. Only then did Xia Xiaoju learn that Lin You's father was going to divorce her mother.
Xia Xiaoju comforted her, but Lin You had to accompany her mother to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day, so she could only go to school in the afternoon. After hearing this, Xia Xiaoju shed tears and said that she would protect Lin You in the future. She then hung up the phone and told Lin You to go to bed early. Xia Xiaoju sat on the bed thinking, with tears dripping down.
After going out, she overheard her parents' conversation: the family urgently needed money, but they didn't want to touch Xia Xiaoju's and her younger brother's living expenses and tuition fees. Xia Xiaoju went back to bed and couldn't fall asleep. He also couldn't sleep all night. He got up and saw that the light in Xia Xiaoju's room was still on. So he ran downstairs to find her, throwing pebbles at Xia Xiaoju's window from downstairs.
When Xia Xiaoju heard the sound and opened the door, she found he was calling her down. It turned out that Lu Shiyi also couldn't sleep and invited Xia Xiaoju to have a late-night snack. On the way, Lu Shiyi noticed that Xia Xiaoju's hand was injured. He asked her how she got it, but she didn't say. He quickly ran home to get some medicinal plaster and changed it for Xia Xiaoju.
The one Xia Xiaoju's mother put on wasn't working; as a medical student, he knew. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi drank together. Lu Shiyi asked her what she was crying about. Xia Xiaoju asked him if he had someone he liked. Lu Shiyi was stunned for a moment because the person he liked was Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju got drunk and said she had someone she liked, but she didn't say who it was.
Xia Xiaoju was very sad and kept drinking. When she was drunk, Lu Shiyi carried her home on his back. Along the way, Xia Xiaoju was restless, walking and singing, waking up the neighbors upstairs. She even mistook Lu Shiyi for someone else and kissed his face. Seeing her so drunk, Lu Shiyi took her back to his own home to sleep.
Episode 16 Recap
Xia Xiaoju woke up in the morning and was startled to find that it was not her own room. She saw Lu Shiyi sleeping under the bed and immediately called him up. It turned out she had been drunk last night, and Lu Shiyi was afraid her mother would beat her if he sent her back, so he brought her to his own house. Xia Xiaoju also asked if she had said anything she shouldn't have last night.
Lu Shiyi teased her, saying Xia Xiaoju had already told him who she liked. Xia Xiaoju immediately covered his mouth to stop him from speaking. Only then did Lu Shiyi tell Xia Xiaoju that he was lying to her. Lu Shiyi suddenly remembered that there was training at the basketball gym and that he would return to school after breakfast. Xia Xiaoju was to go back in the afternoon. Xia Xiaoju quietly went home, but her mother still saw her.
She quickly used her wits and said she had gone for morning training, thus escaping a scolding. Lu Shiyi arrived at the basketball gym and found that no one else was there, only senior student Shen Duo. She said everyone else wasn't coming. Lu Shiyi wanted to call them. Shen Duo stopped him. Lu Shiyi realized she had used the training as an excuse to call him over.
So he warned Shen Duo not to do that again in the future. Xia Xiaoju saw Cheng Lang at the bus stop. She knew Cheng Lang was waiting for Lin You, so she got on the bus herself. She also told Cheng Lang about Lin You's situation, but he still wanted to wait. When Xia Xiaoju arrived at school, she looked for part-time jobs on the campus notice board. Just then, Lu Shiyi came over.
Xia Xiaoju gave Lu Shiyi the chicken wings her mother had made. Lu Shiyi also learned that Xia Xiaoju wanted to help share the burden at home and was looking for a part-time job. Lu Shiyi told Xia Xiaoju that the jobs she was looking at, saying this one wasn't suitable and that one wasn't suitable, were all not appropriate for her. Huang Jun was drawing a poster to recruit a lead singer for the band.
Lu Shiyi also told Huang Jun to ask Xia Xiaoju for help and that he would pay. But Huang Jun was very righteous and said he would, of course, pay himself. Lin You was walking on the road, feeling very down. Cheng Lang came over to comfort her. Xia Xiaoju also came and hugged her, and looked at Cheng Lang.
Although it felt very uncomfortable seeing the person she liked comforting another girl, Xia Xiaoju still chose to help her friend. Cheng Lang asked Lin You to sit by the river with him. He told Lin You about what happened to his family before and told her to believe her mother would be stronger than she thought. Lin You thanked Cheng Lang very much. Xia Xiaoju was calculating her living expenses.
Just then, Letao brought flyers and asked Xia Xiaoju to help distribute them together. The two of them diligently distributed flyers at the entrance of the teaching building, helping Huang Jun attract many people to audition for the lead singer role. Finally, they found a person named Xu Menglu. Her singing was very much up to their standard, but after she seemed to see Huang Jun and Letao dating, she didn't seem to want to join much.
So Huang Jun helped her improve her weakness; her melody was too monotonous. Only then did Xu Menglu agree. Xia Xiaoju was distributing flyers. Cheng Lang called her saying he needed her for something. After Letao gave Xia Xiaoju the money on behalf of Huang Jun, Xia Xiaoju ran to find Cheng Lang.
It turned out to be because Lin You really liked the hat Xia Xiaoju had recommended to him last time, so this time he also wanted Xia Xiaoju to help him pick a gift because he was going to confess. Xia Xiaoju was very sad but still helped him pick a gift. Tears fell, and she lied, claiming she got sand in her eye.
Xia Xiaoju watched Cheng Lang's retreating figure, and an idea flashed in her mind: to hug Cheng Lang from behind and confess first. But just as she was about to go, Lu Shiyi called her over. Cheng Lang walked into the computer room. Only Lin You and he were inside. He went in, gave the gift to Lin You, and told her that he had something to say to her. It turned out that Lu Shiyi had found Xia Xiaoju a very reliable part-time job that was both easy and wouldn't delay her studies.
Episode 17 Recap
Xia Xiaoju thought Cheng Lang's confession had been successful and that he and Lin You were now together. She even cried in her sleep when she dreamed about it. Qiu Letao saw her and asked what was wrong, but she wouldn't say. Suddenly, she realized she hadn't returned Lin You's clothes yet, so Xia Xiaoju ran to find Lin You.
She ran into Lin You's roommate, who said that Lin You was on a date with her boyfriend and asked her roommate to return the clothes for her. Then Xia Xiaoju went to the library and saw Cheng Lang and Lin You studying together in the library. Coupled with what Lin You's roommate had said about her going on a date with her boyfriend, Xia Xiaoju assumed that they were really together, but this was not the case.
Xia Xiaoju was lying in her dorm at night, feeling very uncomfortable and unable to sleep. Qiu Letao saw her and went to Xia Xiaoju's bed, only to find out that it was because Cheng Lang and Lin You were together, and Xia Xiaoju was heartbroken. Qiu Letao comforted Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju also realized that Cheng Lang had never liked her, neither in the past nor now, and that she had been deluding herself all along.
Xia Xiaoju wrote down her feelings in her diary and decided to wish them well. Suddenly, her roommate came in and said that her father had come, so she hurried downstairs. It turned out that her mother was worried about her and had asked her father to come and see her, and also brought her some living expenses.
Xia Xiaoju knew that the family's finances were strained and wanted to help share the burden at home, so she didn't want to take the money from her father. She also said that she had found a part-time job. However, her father insisted on giving her the money.
Seeing that he had given her so much, Xia Xiaoju chased after him, saying she wanted to send her father to the bus stop, and then secretly slipped the money into her father's pocket when he wasn't paying attention. Xia Xiaoju returned to the supermarket and told Manager Zhao that she wanted to get an advance on her salary, but Manager Zhao seemed to disagree and said he had something to do and had to leave first.
Helpless, Xia Xiaoju had no choice but to continue working. Huang Jun took Qiu Letao and Lu Shiyi to see the rehearsal room provided by the school. As a result, when the door opened, the three of them were stunned. It was a mess inside. Huang Jun wanted to find the school to reason with them, but after Qiu Letao's persuasion, they decided that they could use it after cleaning it up a bit.
He was about to drag Lu Shiyi along, but he had something to do today and had to go to the convenience store to help Xia Xiaoju. Then Qiu Letao had already started cleaning, but Huang Jun stopped her. Of course, this kind of work had to be done by men. Qiu Letao was a little touched, so the two of them cleaned it up together while playing around.
Xia Xiaoju was stocking shelves when Lu Shiyi came over and pressed down on Xia Xiaoju's head. Xia Xiaoju said she was so hungry, so Lu Shiyi took a bag of biscuits and opened it directly, letting Xia Xiaoju eat them. But Lu Shiyi paid for it, so he told Xia Xiaoju to eat without worry and even blocked her from view.
Xia Xiaoju tasted it, and it was really delicious, so he had her eat with her back to him, and he also helped Xia Xiaoju with her work. Xia Xiaoju was very happy eating. When leaving, Lu Shiyi also bought a bunch of snacks, but insisted that he didn't want to take them back and wanted to give them all to Xia Xiaoju.
Xia Xiaoju wanted to thank Lu Shiyi but wanted to wait until she got paid to treat him to something delicious. Lu Shiyi thought of a good idea, which was to have Xia Xiaoju help him pass the ball. Xia Xiaoju promised that she would definitely not be late tomorrow. Then Xia Xiaoju received a call from Lin You, saying that her boyfriend wanted to treat her to a meal.
Xia Xiaoju made up a reason to refuse, but Lin You insisted that Xia Xiaoju come over. Helpless, Xia Xiaoju had no choice but to go, but when she arrived at the door, she found that Lin You's boyfriend was not Cheng Lang, but Yuan Ancheng. Xia Xiaoju was taken aback. As they were talking, she saw Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang and a group of people.
It turned out to be a basketball team dinner, so Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang went over to say hello. Lin You's boyfriend even invited them to eat together. As a result, Cheng Lang and Lin You's boyfriend had a very tense atmosphere at the dinner table, constantly drinking. Cheng Lang got drunk, and Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi carried him back. After returning to the dorm, Huang Jun helped him to the bed, and they accidentally bumped Cheng Lang.
After putting Cheng Lang on the bed, Lu Shiyi also said, "It's not like no one is pursuing you, why are you still being so foolish and not letting go?" Huang Jun also said, "Aren't some people the same?" He was talking about Lu Shiyi.
Episode 18 Recap
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were chatting on the rooftop. Qiu Letao then learned that Xia Xiaoju was sad because Cheng Lang and Lin You were not together, and Cheng Lang was unhappy. As for Xia Xiaoju, it didn't matter who Cheng Lang was with, as long as he was happy. Qiu Letao kept saying she was silly and insisted that Xia Xiaoju use this opportunity to comfort Cheng Lang.
Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi went to the video store together to find Cheng Lang. Lu Shiyi suggested playing games together, mentioning that KOF '98 had just come out. Cheng Lang refused, saying he needed to catch up on his studies. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju saw a letter addressed to the manager, which sparked an idea.
Xia Xiaoju went back and wrote a letter to Cheng Lang in the form of a pen pal, sharing the good things in life together. She even gave herself the nickname "Mango Pudding". Xia Xiaoju wore a mask and hat to mail the letter, afraid of being discovered, but some classmates still saw her and asked if she had a cold.
Xia Xiaoju said she was helping the old man watch the gate, and then secretly went in and put the letter in the internal drop-off area. After Cheng Lang's roommate gave him the letter, he put it on the desk without looking at it. Lin You went to class and told Cheng Lang that her dance classes had been too busy lately, and their group assignment was too difficult for her to help with.
So, she wanted to withdraw and do a simpler one with Yang Yu. But Cheng Lang said he could finish the remaining part and that it would be troublesome to find someone else to team up with if she withdrew now. He told Lin You to focus on her dance classes but not withdraw.
Lin You had no choice but to agree, but she said she had something to discuss with Yang Yu and would no longer sit with Cheng Lang. That night, Cheng Lang stayed up all night in the Serpent Dorm to finish his computer assignment. The next day, he had no energy to play basketball, was in very poor form, and was criticized by the coach, who told him to go back and rest first.
Xia Xiaoju felt that the letter she wrote might not be very useful, but she thought that Cheng Lang should only talk a lot with strangers right now, and would be less willing to talk much with people close to him. Xia Xiaoju was helping Lu Shiyi pass the ball in the basketball court. Xia Xiaoju was absent-minded, and so was Lu Shiyi. None of the shots went in.
After finally making one, he said, "Let's stop and rest for a bit." Xia Xiaoju didn't hear and still passed the ball, hitting Lu Shiyi's nose and making it bleed. As soon as Lu Shiyi saw so much blood, he fainted. Xia Xiaoju took Lu Shiyi to wash it off. Xia Xiaoju kept apologizing, but Lu Shiyi didn't blame her and even took her out to eat.
Xia Xiaoju said the chicken cutlet was delicious, but Lu Shiyi insisted it wasn't good, saying it was too greasy, and told Xia Xiaoju to eat it all. He also ordered a large amount of food, knowing they couldn't finish it, and planned to pack it up and give it all to Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju knew that Lu Shiyi was doing it for her and was very touched.
While picking up food, he accidentally splashed oil onto Xia Xiaoju's face. Lu Shiyi wiped it off. Looking at Xia Xiaoju's simple and innocent face, Lu Shiyi really liked her in his heart. When Xia Xiaoju returned to the dorm, she still wrote letters to Cheng Lang, saying some relatively philosophical things.
Cheng Lang's roommate helped him get the letters again and said he had sent so many letters, telling him to reply to one, and that this is how pen pals were made. Cheng Lang then opened the letter to read it, and felt very moved, so he wrote back to Mango Pudding. After receiving the reply, Xia Xiaoju excitedly shared it with Qiu Letao, and then quickly wrote back to him.
Qiu Letao sincerely hoped that Cheng Lang would understand her good intentions. While Xia Xiaoju was working part-time at the convenience store, the manager asked her if she wanted an advance on her salary and told her not to tell anyone outside. But Lu Shiyi was watching from outside, indicating that this was Lu Shiyi's money given to the manager to be advanced to Xia Xiaoju. After seeing the money, Xia Xiaoju excitedly took it back to her mother.
Only then did she learn that her father had just secured a construction payment and they were not short of money anymore. Xia Xiaoju was very happy, so she said, "How about giving the money to me?" Her mother only gave Xia Xiaoju a hundred and put the rest away for her. Xia Xiaoju picked out a small item for Cheng Lang at an accessories store and put it in the reply letter before sending it to Cheng Lang.
While playing basketball, Xia Xiaoju happened to notice that Cheng Lang had attached the small item she picked out to his keychain. Xia Xiaoju was very happy. Lu Shiyi saw this and thought she had moved on from her previous feelings. After everyone left, Xia Xiaoju helped Lu Shiyi pass the ball and kept laughing. Lu Shiyi also kept making shots. He also asked Xia Xiaoju if she still liked the person she liked before. Xia Xiaoju said people should look forward and not mention this matter again in the future. Lu Shiyi was very happy.
Episode 19 Recap
Huang Jun brought the band members to the rehearsal room he had tidied up and said that these items were bought by the school for The Limitless Band out of consideration for him. The manager paid Xia Xiaoju again. Xia Xiaoju asked if the manager hadn't already advanced her salary. Then the manager said, "Oh no, this is for Lu Shiyi." He then let it slip and told Xia Xiaoju the whole story.
While Xia Xiaoju was working, Lu Shiyi came to help her again as expected. Xia Xiaoju gave him the money. Lu Shiyi stubbornly claimed that he just happened to have three hundred yuan left over from his living expenses last month. Xia Xiaoju was very grateful to Lu Shiyi. He also teased Xia Xiaoju about how she had become so grateful.
Xia Xiaoju even planned to use her New Year's money to buy Lu Shiyi the complete set of Jin Yong novels. Lu Shiyi said if she really wanted to repay him, she should just be available whenever he needed her. And so, they happily reached an agreement. Then Lu Shiyi was below helping Xia Xiaoju pass things up. A box from above was about to fall and hit Xia Xiaoju.
Lu Shiyi pulled Xia Xiaoju away in one swift motion, cutting his hand, which bled a lot. Lu Shiyi saw the blood and fainted again. Xia Xiaoju took him to the hospital. After the doctor bandaged him up, he said there was nothing serious. Xia Xiaoju told the doctor about the sudden fainting spell. The doctor advised her to take Lu Shiyi for a full body checkup. Xia Xiaoju took him there.
On the way, they met Shen Duo who was interning at the hospital. Lu Shiyi said to let Senior Shen take him for the checkup so that Xia Xiaoju wouldn't get scolded when she went back. When he left, he even gave Xia Xiaoju his clothes to wear. Xia Xiaoju told him to put them on quickly. After Xia Xiaoju left, Shen Duo said that Lu Shiyi cared about Xia Xiaoju so much, why wasn't he afraid of troubling her?
When Lu Shiyi heard this, he said if that was the case, he could also go for a checkup. Shen Duo said she was just kidding and took Lu Shiyi there. As soon as he saw the blood drawn by the needle, he was about to faint again. Huang Jun bought another pink guitar. Qiu Letao thought it was for her, but Huang Jun said it was for Xu Menglu.
When Xu Menglu saw it, she told Huang Jun that she loved him to death and told Qiu Letao not to misunderstand. But Qiu Letao was already angry. Huang Jun didn't notice and just kept sitting there, playing and singing with Xu Menglu. Qiu Letao told him she was leaving, but he didn't hear, so she went to class. Qiu Letao was angry until class ended. Only when Xia Xiaoju asked did she find out.
Qiu Letao thought Xu Menglu was interested in Huang Jun. Xia Xiaoju advised her to have a good talk with Huang Jun, let him know that he has a girlfriend, and tell him to keep his distance from other girls. Qiu Letao asked Xia Xiaoju how things were with Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju just hoped he could be happy. Qiu Letao didn't understand.
Xia Xiaoju then asked Qiu Letao to take her bag back and she would go to see Lu Shiyi. So, Qiu Letao secretly changed the new content (of the letter). Xia Xiaoju went to see Lu Shiyi and asked him about his checkup results. Lu Shiyi said it was nothing, that he was as strong as an ox and nothing was wrong, just that his blood sugar was a bit low.
Xia Xiaoju bought him some bread and cookies, telling him to eat them when he was too lazy to buy breakfast. Lu Shiyi was very touched and hugged Xia Xiaoju. Qiu Letao went to see Huang Jun, but he was practicing with Xu Menglu again. Even when Qiu Letao called him to eat breakfast, he actually invited Xu Menglu along and even let her use the chopsticks he had used.
Qiu Letao got angry and threw the breakfast away, then left. Huang Jun chased after her, but Qiu Letao didn't listen. In the library, everyone could see that she was angry. Huang Jun came over to coax Qiu Letao, but she ignored him. Just then, Lu Shiyi came over, but he was with Shen Duo, looking at medical information. Everyone was watching. Huang Jun took the opportunity to test Xia Xiaoju, asking if those two were interested in each other.
Xia Xiaoju clearly had a look of someone watching gossip and didn't care at all. Lu Shiyi was fiddling with some red liquid medicine. Huang Jun told Lu Shiyi about him testing Xia Xiaoju. As soon as Lu Shiyi heard it, he quickly ran over to explain. At this time, Qiu Letao also told Xia Xiaoju about secretly changing the content of the letter to ask Cheng Lang to meet her. Xia Xiaoju quickly ran to get the letter back.
Just like that, the four of them ran into each other. Lu Shiyi grabbed Xia Xiaoju to explain the matter. Huang Jun also explained to Qiu Letao, but she wouldn't listen, so she poured Lu Shiyi's medicine into her mouth, pretending to cough up blood. Then everyone ran over to look. When Lu Shiyi saw it, he thought it was blood and fainted again. Lu Shiyi woke up in the hospital.
The first thing he did was ask Huang Jun why he suddenly coughed up blood. Only then did he learn that he was pretending, trying to stage a 'bitter stratagem' for Qiu Letao. The doctor suggested Lu Shiyi go to a larger hospital for a checkup, but he insisted on not going and wanted to return to his dorm. Only when he asked did he realize he had hemophobia (fear of blood). Everyone tried every means to treat him and even wore red clothes to invite Lu Shiyi out for a meal.
Episode 20 Recap
Qiu Letao came to Huang Jun's training room. When she opened the door, Huang Jun had prepared a surprise for her. He also sang "Like You" for her. Qiu Letao was still a bit angry, but Huang Jun kissed her directly. Just like that, the two of them made up. Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi, and Cheng Lang ate KFC together, discussing how the trip to the blood donation room went.
Lu Shiyi said Shen Duo suggested he change majors, but Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang both said he must stick to his dream of studying medicine and not give up. Lu Shiyi said it's not like it's incurable. If he gets cured, will there be any reward? Xia Xiaoju promised him that she would do anything she could. She also asked Cheng Lang to be a witness.
At this moment, Lu Shiyi asked Xia Xiaoju if she was free on Friday. He wanted her to accompany him to watch blood being drawn. Xia Xiaoju then remembered her meeting with Cheng Lang, so she asked Cheng Lang if he was busy. He still remembered the meeting with his pen pal. Xia Xiaoju was very happy. But recently, Lin You was restless because her boyfriend was going abroad. She even forgot to hand in her homework.
Because Cheng Lang pleaded with the teacher, she just needed to hand in the homework before 5:30 PM. So, the two of them went to the library to do their homework together. Xia Xiaoju took Lu Shiyi to the emergency room. Lu Shiyi just wouldn't go in, saying it was too scary. But he was still pulled in by Xia Xiaoju. But after waiting for a long time, there were no patients at all.
The nurse also came to ask the two of them to leave quickly if they weren't sick. So, Lu Shiyi took Xia Xiaoju somewhere else. The two of them went ice skating in the amusement park. Xia Xiaoju didn't know how to skate yet and was holding onto the railing. But Lu Shiyi knew how to skate. He pulled Xia Xiaoju, and they skated together, very happily. Slowly, Xia Xiaoju learned how to skate.
After playing for a long time, Xia Xiaoju was very happy. After they came out, Xia Xiaoju kept looking at her watch. She said she had something to do and would leave first. She told Lu Shiyi to go on his own and be careful. After Lu Shiyi returned home, his mother also cooked many delicious dishes. As for his father, he was still the same as usual. He asked Lu Shiyi if he hadn't caused trouble. Of course not.
Xia Xiaoju was still waiting at the main gate. Qiu Letao had even returned from her date. Cheng Lang still hadn't arrived. Qiu Letao said Cheng Lang was not someone who would break his promise, he must have had something come up. So she took Xia Xiaoju and left. As soon as Xia Xiaoju left, Cheng Lang arrived. It turned out that after helping Lin You finish her homework just now, on the way here, he bumped into Yuan Ancheng.
He wanted to have a chat with him. But Yuan Ancheng clearly stated that Lin You would support his dream, and they would not break up because of this matter. Cheng Lang just hoped they could have a good talk, because Lin You was particularly down. Of course, that evening, Lin You and he talked things through.
Cheng Lang also waited at the school gate for a long time, but did not wait for the mango pudding, because Xia Xiaoju had already left. The next day, Lu Shiyi was playing games at home. Xia Xiaoju called Lu Shiyi downstairs. Her mother was killing a chicken and asked him to watch. As soon as he held down the chicken, Xia Xiaoju's mother cut down with a knife, and blood splattered out.
Lu Shiyi immediately felt sick when he saw it. He started to feel faint from the sight of blood. He fell to the ground. It just so happened that his father saw it. His father knew what was going on. Xia Xiaoju helped Lu Shiyi up. Lu Shiyi and his parents sat down to talk about this matter. Lu Shiyi and his father clashed again.
His father also said it was for Lu Shiyi's own good, but he hadn't considered Lu Shiyi's feelings. Furthermore, Lu Shiyi said that no matter what happened, he would not give up studying medicine, unlike how his father casually gave up. Lu Shiyi's father then went out. It was then that Lu Shiyi's mother told him about his father's situation back then. Although that medical accident was not his father's fault, he couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.
Lu Shiyi's father drank alone, brooding. Lu Shiyi ran to find him. The father and son had a heartfelt talk. His father finally resolved the knot in his heart. From then on, he also agreed to let Lu Shiyi study medicine. And he would work with everyone to treat Lu Shiyi's hemophobia. The next day, Lu Shiyi specifically bought a bouquet of flowers. The language of flowers was 'love hidden in the heart'.
He also pretended to run into Xia Xiaoju by chance. In fact, he had already been waiting for a long time. Xia Xiaoju apologized to Lu Shiyi, saying that if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have argued with his father. But Lu Shiyi told her that his father had already agreed to let him study medicine. Xia Xiaoju was very happy. With Uncle Lu's help, they could achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Lu Shiyi handed the flowers to Xia Xiaoju. But Xia Xiaoju didn't like these chrysanthemums and didn't want them. But Lu Shiyi firmly pushed them onto Xia Xiaoju. She had to take them and keep them well.
Episode 21 Recap
Xia Xiaoju, Qiu Letao, and Lin You went shopping together. When they saw sugar-roasted chestnuts, they wanted two bags. Lin You said if she kept eating like this with Xia Xiaoju, the dance troupe would have to expel her. Qiu Letao also said she couldn't eat anymore. Suddenly, they saw that the movie 'Qing Shu' was about to be released in the cinema. Lin You wanted to watch the movie with Yuan Ancheng.
She would wait for him to return to the country. This is a movie about secret love, and the music in it is also very nice. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were looking for a letter. Qiu Letao wanted Xia Xiaoju to tell Cheng Lang that the mango pudding was her, but Xia Xiaoju had always been too scared and had no opportunity. At this moment, Qiu Letao suddenly saw Cheng Lang coming.
She deliberately spoke loudly to Xia Xiaoju, saying that she should invite Cheng Lang right now to watch that movie about secret love, 'Qing Shu'. But Cheng Lang didn't hear it. When he was leaving, Qiu Letao created an opportunity, saying Xia Xiaoju had something to tell him. But Xia Xiaoju changed her mind and ended up talking about asking him for tutoring. Xia Xiaoju was secretly reading a letter in the library.
Cheng Lang wrote that last time he was late due to some matters and didn't see her, so he was inviting her to the usual place and time this Friday, and would wait for her there. Xia Xiaoju was very happy and was about to reply to him, but her pen was broken and kept leaking ink. Lu Shiyi happened to come to the library to study.
After seeing Xia Xiaoju, he came over to find her and see what she was reading. Xia Xiaoju insisted it was advanced mathematics and quickly covered the letter. Lu Shiyi wanted to grab it. As the two of them struggled for it, Xia Xiaoju got ink on Lu Shiyi's clothes. However, Lu Shiyi didn't blame her. He even offered to fix her pen.
Xia Xiaoju said if he broke it while fixing it, he'd have to buy her a new one. Lu Shiyi also asked Xia Xiaoju if she knew the meaning of the pot of daisies he gave her. As a result, Xia Xiaoju blurted out that it meant "I am old-fashioned." This completely infuriated Lu Shiyi. Lin You called Yuan Ancheng and said that 'Qing Shu' was released in the country and she wanted to watch it too.
But Yuan Ancheng said he had already watched it. Lin You also said that the DVD was released in the country and they could watch it together "across the distance." Lu Shiyi was fixing the pen in the dorm. Huang Jun saw him and said, "Why bother fixing it? Just buy a new one." Lu Shiyi thought about it and indeed, that made sense. The next day, Lu Shiyi dragged Xia Xiaoju to pick out a pen.
But Xia Xiaoju picked a pen of a very old-fashioned color. Lu Shiyi said it was old-fashioned, but Xia Xiaoju said the daisies he gave her were even more old-fashioned. In a fit of anger, Lu Shiyi said this pen wasn't for her. Xia Xiaoju got angry, "You weren't buying it for me, you just had me pick it out?" But Lu Shiyi actually wanted to ask Xia Xiaoju to watch a movie with him.
As a result, Xia Xiaoju saw some bread and ran over to eat it, and Lu Shiyi didn't get a chance to say it. While in class, Lin You received an overseas package, which was the DVD of 'Qing Shu'. She thought Yuan Ancheng sent it, but actually, it was sent by Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju was walking on the road when Shen Duo came over to say hello.
Just then, Xia Xiaoju saw the pen Lu Shiyi picked out that day in Shen Duo's hand. When she asked, it turned out Lu Shiyi had indeed given it to her. Xia Xiaoju wanted to ask for some gossip. Unexpectedly, Shen Duo really liked Lu Shiyi. She even asked Xia Xiaoju to help her give a movie ticket to Lu Shiyi. Xia Xiaoju agreed. That evening, Xia Xiaoju went to the dorm to find Lu Shiyi.
Then she gave him the movie ticket, but she didn't say that Shen Duo had invited him. So Lu Shiyi thought Xia Xiaoju was inviting him to watch a movie. Afterward, he kept smiling happily. When Cheng Lang came, Lu Shiyi told him that Xia Xiaoju had asked him to watch a movie. He even said stubbornly that he didn't really want to go. Even Huang Jun could see he was showing off.
Lu Shiyi was waiting for Xia Xiaoju at the cinema entrance early. But the one who came was Shen Duo. When he asked, he found out that Xia Xiaoju was asking him out on behalf of Shen Duo. He was very angry and ran to find Xia Xiaoju. However, at this time, Xia Xiaoju had already made plans with Cheng Lang.
Lu Shiyi explained that the pen was to thank Shen Duo for finding a doctor, and the pen wasn't originally meant for her, but she took it anyway. Xia Xiaoju then realized she had misunderstood and that Lu Shiyi didn't like Shen Duo. Then, to apologize, she invited Lu Shiyi to have hot pot.
Episode 22 Recap
Qiu Letao was having lunch with Huang Jun. Huang Jun asked her to go to a movie, but Qiu Letao was busy with homework tomorrow, and this assignment was very important, so she couldn't go. Huang Jun was a little angry, because before, he didn't have time to spend with her due to training, and Qiu Letao would get angry. But now that he had time to spend with her, she wouldn't go.
Qiu Letao coaxed Huang Jun for a long time, and Huang Jun agreed to accompany her to do homework tomorrow. However, in the library, Huang Jun kept reading novels, even laughing out loud. Qiu Letao told him to leave first, as he was disturbing her studying here. Huang Jun went to training first. As a result, in the training room, Xu Menglu actually asked him to go to a movie. Huang Jun felt it wasn't appropriate.
She even said, "Is it because Huang Jun has a guilty conscience?" Huang Jun said of course not. She also said the music in the movie was nice, so Huang Jun agreed. At the cinema, Xu Menglu bought snacks, even a couple's combo. This made Huang Jun feel a little uncomfortable, a little guilty. After the movie started, Qiu Letao finished her homework and called Huang Jun. He was afraid Qiu Letao would misunderstand, so he didn't answer.
Lu Shiyi was dressing up in the dorm again, even using hairspray. He went to the classroom door to pick up Xia Xiaoju after school. He overheard Xia Xiaoju talking to Shen Duo, saying, "Leave it to me, I'll definitely help you get Lu Shiyi." He assumed it was Shen Duo who had asked him to the hot pot restaurant, so he didn't go and instead went to study at the library.
Actually, it was Xia Xiaoju who had asked him to the hot pot restaurant. Xia Xiaoju waited for a long time at the hot pot restaurant. Everyone next to her had finished eating, and it was raining outside. Lu Shiyi still didn't come. There were many people waiting for seats outside the hot pot restaurant.
The waiter came over to urge Xia Xiaoju to order, but Xia Xiaoju waited a little longer and felt embarrassed, so she went outside to wait for Lu Shiyi. Lu Shiyi was studying in the library, not answering Xia Xiaoju's calls. Suddenly, Shen Duo came over, saying she was here to borrow a few books. So it turned out it was really Xia Xiaoju who had asked him to the hot pot restaurant. Lu Shiyi hurried to find Xia Xiaoju.
She was still waiting outside the restaurant. Lu Shiyi explained to her, but Xia Xiaoju was still angry. Lu Shiyi said he would treat her to this hot pot meal. Xia Xiaoju was clearly hungry, but she acted tough. Lu Shiyi said, "Just eat a little with me," and then Xia Xiaoju agreed. She ate a lot. Lu Shiyi said he would treat her to hot pot again tomorrow, but Xia Xiaoju said she was going to a movie tomorrow.
Lu Shiyi guessed if it was with someone she liked. Xia Xiaoju didn't let Lu Shiyi ask and wouldn't say it herself. Lu Shiyi was a little angry, realizing that Xia Xiaoju was still thinking about the person she liked before. Lu Shiyi looked listless after returning to the dorm. Huang Jun came back also looking like he had done something wrong. Qiu Letao went to the training room to find Huang Jun.
Just as Huang Jun asked her to answer his phone, Qiu Letao found the movie ticket from yesterday afternoon in his pocket. Huang Jun lied to her, saying he was playing cards yesterday afternoon. Qiu Letao put the movie ticket in her own pocket. Lu Shiyi secretly followed Xia Xiaoju, wanting to know who she liked. But Cheng Lang learned that Lin You hadn't been to class for several days because she was in a bad mood.
He heard from her roommate that Lin You was practicing dancing, so he went to the dance studio to find Lin You. Lin You was practicing frantically until she sprained her ankle. Cheng Lang hurried to check on Lin You, and then he learned that she and Yuan Ancheng had broken up. To comfort Lin You, he didn't go to find Xia Xiaoju, because he assumed Xia Xiaoju had also invited Lu Shiyi.
Xia Xiaoju waited for a long, long time at the cinema entrance, but he didn't come. Seeing this, Lu Shiyi felt very sorry for her and wanted Xia Xiaoju to go back to school, but she wanted to wait a little longer. Lu Shiyi wanted to persuade her, but the words he said were a little harsh, making Xia Xiaoju cry. Lu Shiyi coaxed her while running. Xia Xiaoju ran to find Cheng Lang to ask why he didn't go.
At the dorm entrance, seeing Cheng Lang, Xia Xiaoju cried and looked for him, and learned that it was because of Lin You, and also knew that Lin You and Yuan Ancheng had broken up. Only then did Lu Shiyi realize that Xia Xiaoju had always liked Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju was very angry. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into a classmate holding a thermos, spilling hot water. Cheng Lang got burned while protecting her.
Xia Xiaoju apologized while crying. The next day, Xia Xiaoju was running wildly on the sports field. Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang were playing ball, and he also had emotions in his heart. When stealing the ball, he even bumped into Cheng Lang.
Episode 23 Recap
Lu Shiyi was lying on the bed. Huang Jun came over to ask him what was wrong, why he had such a big temper towards Cheng Lang. Usually, they were as close as brothers, but now it seemed like he wanted to eat Cheng Lang up. Lu Shiyi then told Huang Jun it was because Xia Xiaoju liked Cheng Lang.
But Huang Jun analyzed the current situation, saying that although Xiaoju liked Cheng Lang, Cheng Lang liked Lin You, so there was no rivalry between him and Cheng Lang. At this time, he should primarily comfort Xiaoju. As he said this, Cheng Lang came in. Huang Jun told him to have a good talk with Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang also brought apples and asked him what it was really about, especially Xiaoju, who got so angry with him.
It couldn't be just because he didn't go to the movie, right? But Lu Shiyi said it was because Xiaoju had saved money frugally, and it wasn't easy for her to treat the two of them to a movie, but he still didn't go. However, Cheng Lang felt there must be something else, especially since Xiaoju got even more angry when Lin You was mentioned.
Lu Shiyi explained that it was because Xiaoju knew Lin You and Yuan Ancheng were together, and he was still foolishly looking for Lin You, which was why Xiaoju got angry. To vent, Xiaoju ran laps on the sports field. Suddenly, Lin You also came over to run. As they ran together, Xiaoju learned that Lin You had signed up for the 400-meter Yunding Meet.
Xiaoju asked if there was any misunderstanding between Lin You and Yuan Ancheng, but Lin You knew there was no misunderstanding; he just didn't like her anymore and wanted to break up. Xiaoju comforted Lin You. Lin You also invited Xiaoju to participate in the sports meet together, but Xiaoju didn't seem very keen on participating. Lu Shiyi was receiving treatment for his hemophobia, and Xiaoju was waiting outside for him.
But the doctor told Lu Shiyi that his progress recently was very slow, and if it continued like this, Lu Shiyi might have to transfer departments. But Lu Shiyi didn't want to. After going out, he didn't tell Xiaoju about this, just saying the doctor told him to relax. Xiaoju was still a little disbelieving, but Lu Shiyi being able to cure his hemophobia was the happiest thing for her right now.
Lu Shiyi and Xiaoju went to eat chicken steak at the third canteen together. Xiaoju went first to get a seat. Cheng Lang also came over. But Xiaoju still felt a little upset inside. Cheng Lang thought Xiaoju was still angry. Xiaoju could only smile and say she wasn't angry anymore. Cheng Lang explained to her why he didn't go to the movie that day. But Xiaoju could only pretend she didn't care.
Lu Shiyi came over and even wanted to switch seats with Xiaoju to sit next to Cheng Lang. It turned out he wanted to show him his arm, which was healing quite fast. The three of them walked back together, but Cheng Lang always felt there was something strange about them. Huang Jun was very excited to learn that Zhang Xueyou was coming to Jiangzhou for a concert and wanted to take Taozi to see it together.
But Taozi asked him about the movie ticket incident. He actually lied to Taozi, saying that Xu Menglu had invited everyone to go together, but only he ended up going, and he decisively refused. He lied to Taozi, but Taozi believed him. Xiaoju met her roommate in the library. Her roommate asked Xiaoju to participate in the sports meet again.
Xiaoju didn't want to participate, but on the way back with Lu Shiyi, she saw Cheng Lang training with Lin You. Perhaps she felt a little resentful, so she signed up, wanting to prove something. Huang Jun went to queue up, going very early, but after queuing for a long time, the tickets didn't arrive. After returning to the training room, Xu Menglu said she had an extra ticket. Huang Jun wanted it, and Xu Menglu gave it to him.
He actually said in front of Taozi that Xu Menglu was his lucky goddess. Taozi picked up her bag and left. He chased after her to coax her, and Taozi, being soft-hearted, agreed to go see it with him. Taozi and Xiaoju were chatting on the rooftop, both saying they had done something foolish. Xiaoju was very surprised to hear that Taozi had agreed to go to the concert with Huang Jun and another girl. But Taozi supported Xiaoju's decision to sign up for the sports meet. The sports meet began, and Xiaoju was distracted the whole time.
Episode 24 Recap
Xia Xiaoju was even distracted at the start, a step slower. While running, Xia Xiaoju tried hard to catch up to Lin You. She heard Lu Shiyi cheering for her, while Cheng Lang kept cheering for Lin You and even ran alongside her. Xia Xiaoju was very sad. As soon as she got distracted, she tripped and scraped her arms and knees. Everyone quickly ran over. The school doctor wasn't there, so Lu Shiyi carried Xia Xiaoju to the infirmary.
Cheng Lang and Lin You still had upcoming competitions and couldn't leave. And Huang Jun also pulled Qiu Letao away, saying that they could rest assured with Lu Shiyi there. Lu Shiyi arrived at the infirmary, called out for the teacher, and put Xia Xiaoju on the bed. Xia Xiaoju kept crying, but she wasn't crying because she had fallen. It was because she saw Cheng Lang caring so much about Lin You, while she was so miserable.
Since she had already decided to give up, what was there left to prove? Lu Shiyi also saw through Xia Xiaoju's thoughts and comforted her. He said, "It's not embarrassing. Who hasn't done something foolish in their youth?" He also said that if he didn't have someone he liked, he wouldn't have this kind of trouble. He also said that no matter what happened to Xia Xiaoju, he wouldn't dislike her.
He even pinky-promised with Xia Xiaoju, agreeing not to tell anyone, but also told Xia Xiaoju not to cry anymore. Huang Jun pulled Taozi (Qiu Letao) to the training room to think about where to go play, but Qiu Letao wasn't in the mood to think about where to go play. Only then did Huang Jun say that he already knew about the situation between Xia Xiaoju, Cheng Lang, and Lin You.
Taozi (Qiu Letao) said she wanted to think about it outside, so Huang Jun went in first. After Xu Menglu saw Qiu Letao, she actually went out and openly provoked Taozi (Qiu Letao). She even said she was annoyed by Taozi (Qiu Letao) and told Taozi (Qiu Letao) about the time she watched a movie with Huang Jun, saying that movies like "Qing Shu" were only suitable for simple girls like Taozi (Qiu Letao) to watch.
This infuriated Taozi (Qiu Letao). She went inside, pushed Huang Jun aside, and wanted to break up with him. Lu Shiyi finished bandaging Xia Xiaoju. Cheng Lang and Lin You also finished their competitions, and Lin You got second place. Suddenly, Cheng Lang saw Lu Shiyi bandaging Xia Xiaoju and only then realized that Lu Shiyi was no longer hemophobic. Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju also just realized it. " That's great! Lu Shiyi doesn't have to transfer departments anymore."
Originally, he was thinking of taking a year off to treat his hemophobia, but now it had somehow been cured unconsciously. Cheng Lang asked Lin You how she felt after the race. Lin You was very grateful to Cheng Lang for accompanying her. From today onwards, she wanted to be a brand new Lin You. But she felt like she hadn't vented enough, so the two of them ran together to the canteen to eat.
The scene was beautiful, and both of them were very happy. The summer holiday began. After Xia Xiaoju finished measuring Jiashu's height at home, she just stayed indoors and didn't go out. Lu Shiyi was worried she would get moldy, so he went to see Xia Xiaoju and asked her what was wrong. He asked if it was because she failed advanced math. Only then did he learn that Xia Xiaoju had never been interested in the accounting major.
But seeing everyone around her having their own dreams made her feel very pressured and upset. To help Xia Xiaoju relax, Lu Shiyi invited her to eat barbecue. As they were eating, they happened to run into Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang asked Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi to do him a favor. There was a programming competition in a few days, and he would prepare the plan in advance and ask them to present it on his behalf.
Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju naturally agreed. They also asked Cheng Lang to treat them to a trip. Xia Xiaoju then analyzed the geographical environment of potential destinations, the best places to visit, and the best time to go, presenting a very logical analysis. But Lu Shiyi was just joking. After Cheng Lang left, Lu Shiyi told Xia Xiaoju that maybe she should choose the tourism management major.
He said that what she said just now was so organized, as if she was very good at it. Moreover, when he went to look for Xia Xiaoju just now, she was also watching a travel channel. Xia Xiaoju thought about it, and it was true. Not only did she like to travel, but she was also very good at planning. The trip after high school graduation was planned very well, and everyone had a great time.
Xia Xiaoju went home to discuss with her mother. But her mother disagreed. Her mother thought accounting was very good, saying how nice it was to work in an air-conditioned office. She didn't support Xia Xiaoju changing majors. Cheng Lang and Lin You came to the computer lab together to work on the program for the competition. He also teased Lin You by saying he had secretly gotten a duplicate key.
Actually, he had already built good relationships with the teachers, and this was all done with their permission, which gave Lin You a bit of a scare. Just as school ended, Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju ran into Cheng Lang and Lin You. Everyone went back together. Xia Xiaoju couldn't help but still care about Cheng Lang in her heart.
Episode 25 Recap
Xia Xiaoju ran to Lu Shiyi's house to find him and asked him if he had told Cheng Lang about that thing. As a result, Cheng Lang came out from behind. He had stayed over at Lu Shiyi's house to program on the computer until after two o'clock the night before and hadn't gone back. Xia Xiaoju was stunned. Cheng Lang asked her what she hadn't told him. She and Lu Shiyi stammered.
In the end, they said it was because she needed money and a camera for a trip to change departments, and she was borrowing money and a camera from Lu Shiyi and didn't want Lu Shiyi to tell Cheng Lang about borrowing the money. But Cheng Lang immediately said they were family and didn't need to be polite, and he offered to lend Xia Xiaoju the money.
Although Xia Xiaoju said she didn't need it, Lu Shiyi still got the money for Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju quickly put on her shoes and left. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao made arrangements. Xia Xiaoju would tell her mother she was going to stay at Qiu Letao's house for these two days, and Qiu Letao shouldn't let it slip. Qiu Letao agreed. The two of them came to the music store together.
Qiu Letao wanted to pay back the money Huang Jun owed from buying an instrument last time. Xia Xiaoju told her not to. Qiu Letao insisted foolishly, saying Huang Jun was embarrassed to tell the band members that he had borrowed money to buy it, and she had to help him pay it back. After that, Xia Xiaoju went home first to pack her things.
Qiu Letao was walking on the road, looking at her phone and thinking about calling the paging station, when it suddenly rang. Qiu Letao quickly hung up. Huang Jun called out to her from behind. He had gone to Qiu Letao's house to find her, but she wasn't there, she wasn't answering his calls, and wasn't replying to messages. He asked, "Don't you want to?" , and immediately hugged Qiu Letao.
Qiu Letao told Huang Jun to let go, but he didn't. Xia Xiaoju hit him with her backpack until he bled, so she went to buy him a band-aid. After Xia Xiaoju got home, she told her mother about staying at Qiu Letao's house. Her mother agreed. After Xia Xiaoju finished packing, she went to find Lu Shiyi. He had his camera and was also carrying a backpack.
He said he was bored at home too and wanted to go with Xia Xiaoju. To avoid giving themselves away, Xia Xiaoju suggested they go separately and meet at the station. The two of them were on the bus. Lu Shiyi even prepared lollipops and was very happy. After arriving at Liu Village, Lu Shiyi still complained that it was a backward and poor place. But after some work by Xia Xiaoju, the photos they took turned out very beautiful.
They played until sunset. Lu Shiyi told her to think about where they would stay, but Xia Xiaoju was already prepared. They went to a grandmother's house that Xia Xiaoju had arranged with beforehand. But there was only one empty room. Lu Shiyi decided to sleep outside on a bamboo bed, which was quite cool. After Xia Xiaoju finished showering, she was about to sleep. Lu Shiyi thought it was too early and said he had prepared something.
Xia Xiaoju thought he had prepared something fun or delicious. However, Lu Shiyi took out Advanced Math from his backpack. Xia Xiaoju thought Lu Shiyi was truly a devil, bringing Advanced Math on a trip. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Shiyi pulled her over, and she happened to sit on his lap. Lu Shiyi's face immediately turned red.
But when giving Xia Xiaoju tutoring, there were many mosquitoes, and Xia Xiaoju was also slow to understand, which made Lu Shiyi very angry and irritable while lecturing Xia Xiaoju. As he was lecturing, Xia Xiaoju fell asleep. Lu Shiyi thoughtfully covered her with clothes and even fanned away mosquitoes for her. The next day when Xia Xiaoju woke up, the grandmother told her that Lu Shiyi was in the kitchen.
Xia Xiaoju went to see and found he could actually make scallion pancakes. She was hungry and wanted to eat them. But she had just complained about Lu Shiyi earlier, so Lu Shiyi wouldn't give her any. The two of them started a flour fight. They went out together to take photos, and Xia Xiaoju even sat on Lu Shiyi's shoulders for a photo. They swung on a swing together and were very happy.
Lu Shiyi also gave Xia Xiaoju a ride on his bicycle, with Xia Xiaoju holding his waist. She thanked Lu Shiyi very much for helping her change departments and for accompanying her on the trip. After returning home, the two of them finished writing the short essay needed for the department transfer application. It was perfect. In the evening, Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi, Qiu Letao, and Huang Jun were together. Soon after, Cheng Lang and Lin You also arrived.
Cheng Lang assigned them tasks for the programming competition. The next day, just as expected, Cheng Lang was very capable. His three entries won the first, second, and third prizes respectively, and there was also prize money.
Episode 26 Recap
After Lin You returned home, she handed over the prize money. Her mother felt very comforted, feeling that her daughter had grown up. Xia Xiaoju also bought many things to bring home. However, Jiashu secretly showed Xia Xiaoju's department transfer essay to their mother. Their mother was very angry after reading it and also found out about her secretly going on a trip. As soon as Xia Xiaoju entered the house, she saw it.
She originally wanted to talk to her mother properly, but they started arguing after only a couple of sentences. Xia Xiaoju didn't know the family wasn't well-off recently, and her ideas had always conflicted with her mother's, so they started arguing. However, Jiashu told their mother that his sister was really serious this time, studying until twelve every night. Their mother thought for a moment and then left.
After Xia Xiaoju's father came back, he heard Jiashu talk about the matter and came in to find Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju was still complaining about her mother, saying she didn't understand her and always forced her ideas on her. However, her father told her about the family's recent situation.
Only then did Xia Xiaoju understand why her mother kept emphasizing that the tuition was two thousand yuan more expensive, while she had foolishly said, "What's wrong with it being a bit more expensive?" Their mother returned and told Xia Xiaoju that she could transfer if she wanted. But Xia Xiaoju didn't want to make her parents so troubled; she decided not to transfer. However, her mother went back to her maternal home and gathered the tuition money.
She told Xia Xiaoju to study hard after transferring departments so that she could take her parents traveling in the future. Xia Xiaoju cried and promised her parents that she would definitely take them traveling in the future. The results for the department transfer came out. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi went to see them together. The first time, Xia Xiaoju looked at the wrong list and thought she hadn't transferred.
Lu Shiyi told her that was the list for Economics and Management and Physics departments; the one next to it was Tourism Management. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi squeezed in and saw her name. Xia Xiaoju was so excited she didn't even realize Lu Shiyi was standing behind her. She ran outside to look for him. After seeing Lu Shiyi, she ran over excitedly and hugged him. Lu Shiyi simply wrapped his arms around Xia Xiaoju and lifted her up.
Xia Xiaoju was tidying up books in her dorm when Cheng Lang suddenly called her out. Only after she got there did she realize he wanted to watch fireworks with everyone on Beishan and then decorate a place for a confession; he was going to confess to Lin You. Although Xia Xiaoju felt a bit uncomfortable inside, she had already come to terms with it, and she had also decided not to like Cheng Lang anymore.
The three of them decorated together with balloons and heart-shaped lights. After they finished decorating, it was very beautiful when they turned them on. Xia Xiaoju was amazed. Cheng Lang asked her if Lin You would like it. Xia Xiaoju was still very happy and told Cheng Lang that Lin You would definitely like it. After Lu Shiyi went back, he secretly bought chocolate and specifically used a heart-shaped gift box.
After Xia Xiaoju returned to the dorm, she found out that Qiu Letao was copying notes for Huang Jun. She told her not to be so good to Huang Jun as he didn't even care about his own matters. Qiu Letao didn't listen. The next day, as soon as Xia Xiaoju woke up, she saw Qiu Letao slumped over the desk. She went over to look and found Qiu Letao had a fever. Everyone quickly took her to the hospital.
After she was put on IV drip, Xia Xiaoju wanted to call Huang Jun, but he kept not answering. After a while, Xia Xiaoju went downstairs and ran into Huang Jun. She thought he had come to see Qiu Letao, but Huang Jun looked confused. In fact, he didn't know Qiu Letao was sick; he was there to see Xu Menglu. Xia Xiaoju saw Huang Jun carefully taking care of Qiu Letao and left first.
Huang Jun had only been there for a short while when he got a call. He lied and said it was from the band. Qiu Letao, not wanting to delay his evening performance, told him to leave first. After a long time, Qiu Letao went to the restroom and happened to see a scene that made her sad: Huang Jun was actually with Xu Menglu. Qiu Letao was very sad and walked back to school feeling down.
At this time, Xia Xiaoju was chatting with her two roommates and Lu Shiyi. The class president of Xia Xiaoju's Tourism Management major also arrived. Lu Shiyi looked very unhappy about him. Just then, they saw Qiu Letao returning alone and quickly went over to ask. Qiu Letao immediately burst into tears. After asking, they found out that Huang Jun was actually two-timing like that. Xia Xiaoju wanted to go argue with Huang Jun, but Qiu Letao stopped her.
She had already made up her mind to break up and wanted to part amicably, not make it so embarrassing. Only then did Xia Xiaoju agree. However, she went to find Lu Shiyi and told him to give Huang Jun a good beating, saying he had gone too far. At this moment, Cheng Lang ran over and said Lin You was missing. Everyone quickly went to look for Lin You.
Episode 27 Recap
Xia Xiaoju asked Cheng Lang what exactly happened. Cheng Lang explained that it was because Lin You was playing her favorite CD for him, but he fell asleep while listening. When he woke up, Lin You was gone and wasn't answering his calls. He was very anxious, thinking Lin You must be angry. But Lu Shiyi felt it was nothing and she wouldn't get angry over such a small matter. The two of them even started arguing.
Soon after, Lin You called. It would take her twenty minutes by taxi to get to the school, so Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju went up the mountain first. Qiu Letao was packing up Huang Jun's things in the dorm. Seeing the heart-shaped water cup he made for her, she still felt a bit reluctant.
Recalling the seventeen thousand they had experienced together and the words Huang Jun had said, although it was very painful, she still made up her mind to break up. Just then, Huang Jun came looking for her with a late-night snack. He kept shouting for her downstairs by the dorm building. After Qiu Letao came out, Huang Jun ran up to her and asked her to celebrate New Year's Eve together.
But after Qiu Letao returned his things to him, she broke up with him. Huang Jun didn't understand why, but Qiu Letao didn't want to talk about what he did at the hospital. She even felt disgusted recalling every word he said and every bite of food he fed her. Qiu Letao didn't even want to hear Huang Jun's explanation anymore. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi were on the mountain.
Xia Xiaoju seemed preoccupied and was still worried about whether Lin You and Cheng Lang would make it. Lu Shiyi made an excuse to go up to the mountain peak first to check if the battery was working normally. Cheng Lang finally waited for Lin You. It turned out she had a performance that evening and had left her phone backstage the whole time, so she didn't hear his calls.
Cheng Lang had thought Lin You was angry because he fell asleep. How could that be? Cheng Lang took Lin You to the mountain peak on his bicycle. At this time, Lu Shiyi brought the chocolate he had bought for Xia Xiaoju. He was preparing to confess to Xia Xiaoju. He was very nervous and had practiced many times. He went down with the chocolate. Just as he was about to speak and say "Do you know. . ."
, he was interrupted by Xia Xiaoju. She said she knew, she knew Cheng Lang cared about Lin You too much, and even falling asleep while listening to music, such a small thing, he was still worried. Xia Xiaoju understood how much Cheng Lang liked Lin You. Lu Shiyi also comforted her, but Xia Xiaoju kept talking about Cheng Lang.
Seeing that the time for New Year's Eve was approaching, Lu Shiyi pulled Xia Xiaoju to the mountain peak, turned on the switch, and the lights they had set up lit up, which was very beautiful. Coincidentally, the New Year's Eve fireworks also started. Cheng Lang, carrying Lin You, still couldn't make it to the mountain peak to watch, but Lin You held Cheng Lang's hand and told him it was the same watching from there.
Lin You and Cheng Lang got together. Lu Shiyi didn't get to say the words he planned to confess. He also told Xia Xiaoju to lean on his "buddy's" shoulder. So, Xia Xiaoju leaned on Lu Shiyi and watched a New Year's Eve fireworks display on the mountain peak. However, in the blink of an eye, two years passed. Lu Shiyi, Xia Xiaoju, Cheng Lang, and Lin You were like a river rushing straight down from the upstream.
What the scenery behind them was like, they kept moving forward, missing a lot. If only someone could have looked back then, maybe they would have discovered each other's feelings, maybe they would have had different happiness together. Huang Jun and Xu Menglu got together. Lu Shiyi's fear of blood also got better, and he even interned at a hospital. Xia Xiaoju also had her first experience leading a tour group.
On the way, she was almost late, but she ran into Chang Le, and he offered to give Xia Xiaoju a ride. After Xia Xiaoju arrived, two more people hadn't shown up. When Xia Xiaoju saw the name, it was Lu Shiyi. She thought it was just someone with the same name, but she didn't expect it to actually be him.
It was Xia Xiaoju's first time leading a tour group in her life, so of course he had to be there, to accompany her. As soon as Lu Shiyi and Chang Le met, the atmosphere was tense. To add a highlight to this trip, Xia Xiaoju specifically had herself and Lu Shiyi change into immersive costumes to perform a skit together, leaving a deep impression on the tourists. Xia Xiaoju had been too tired these past few days.
When Lu Shiyi went to buy her something to eat and came back, she had already fallen asleep. To avoid waking Xia Xiaoju, Lu Shiyi took the notebook where she had recorded the travel details and guided everyone on the route. Xia Xiaoju woke up at five o'clock; it was time for everyone to gather. Xia Xiaoju ran over and did a roll call, and two people were missing.
So, she and Lu Shiyi went back to look for them, and the tour bus left first. After searching for a long time, both of them were extremely anxious. But then the company called and said those two people had gotten lost and had gone home, so Xia Xiaoju was relieved. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi sat on the ground chatting together.
Xia Xiaoju felt that Lu Shiyi had become more and more mature since starting university, no wonder so many people liked him. But Lu Shiyi said that no matter how many people liked him, the person he liked didn't like him. Xia Xiaoju asked him who it was. Lu Shiyi said it was Xia Xiaoju. But Xia Xiaoju was startled. It was clear that she didn't like Lu Shiyi.
Episode 28 Recap
Seeing the situation, Lu Shiyi quickly joked to diffuse the tension. He then changed the subject by suddenly remembering that he had class tomorrow morning and discussed with Xia Xiaoju how to get back. Just then, they saw a bicycle at the entrance of a shop, so he asked the boss and bought it. Lu Shiyi planned to cycle back with Xia Xiaoju. However, this bicycle was difficult to ride and wobbled along the way.
Lu Shiyi recalled how Xia Xiaoju looked incredulous when he told her he liked her earlier, saying they were buddies. Feeling uncomfortable, Lu Shiyi got distracted and didn't even hear Xia Xiaoju calling him, almost cycling into a ditch. It was very late when they returned to the dorm. Chang Le waited specifically at the dorm entrance for Xia Xiaoju, saying he was just passing by coincidentally.
But after he left, Lu Shiyi saw that he was unhappy waiting for Xia Xiaoju and retorted to Xia Xiaoju a couple of times. Xia Xiaoju then teased him for being ungentlemanly. Lu Shiyi became even more annoyed. He had cycled for so long carrying her, while Chang Le waited for just a little while and was considered gentlemanly. He turned around and was about to leave on the bicycle.
Xia Xiaoju even called out to him to be careful and cycle slowly. On the way back, Lu Shiyi was stopped by Shen Duo. She gave Lu Shiyi an admission ticket to the medical school's graduation party and invited him to go with her, but Lu Shiyi refused. Shen Duo actually threatened him with the fact that he liked Xia Xiaoju, but as soon as he returned to the dorm, he threw the ticket into the trash can.
Just then, Huang Jun was arguing with Xu Menglu because Qiu Letao had walked past him and he had taken a couple of extra glances. Lu Shiyi asked him if he still liked Qiu Letao. He said yes. He asked about Xu Menglu, and he didn't speak. When asked to choose one of the two, he still didn't speak. Lu Shiyi felt he deserved it. Qiu Letao was texting someone and laughing happily, which was noticed by Xia Xiaoju.
She thought it was Huang Jun. However, Qiu Letao said, how could that be? Huang Jun was just a phase in her youth. Everyone started discussing the medical school's graduation party. Qiu Letao also discussed with Xia Xiaoju about giving Lu Shiyi a gift. After they graduate, Lu Shiyi still has to study for another year. At this time, Lu Shiyi secretly searched for Chang Le on the campus website, which was seen by Huang Jun.
He had long discovered that Chang Le felt differently about Xia Xiaoju and advised Lu Shiyi to quickly confess before Chang Le got ahead of him. He also gave him ideas, like asking Xia Xiaoju to watch a movie and a series of other things. Xia Xiaoju was in bed.
Before falling asleep, she suddenly thought of what Lu Shiyi said about liking her that day, but then she recalled how she and Lu Shiyi always bickered before, and Lu Shiyi also said it was absolutely impossible for him to like her or something similar. She felt that she must have been overthinking it and Lu Shiyi wouldn't like her. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao ran into Lin You on the road.
She was going to buy breakfast for Cheng Lang. The two of them had been together for a long time. After class, Chang Le gave Xia Xiaoju an admission ticket to the medical school's graduation party and wanted to invite her to go with him, but just then Lu Shiyi came to find her, saying he wanted to ask her to watch a movie, but she had already agreed to go to the graduation party with Chang Le.
Lu Shiyi went back and found the ticket he had thrown away and went to the graduation party. Although he was discovered by Shen Duo as soon as he entered, he came because of Xia Xiaoju, and hearing that Chang Le, the popular guy from the Tourism Department, was going to sing a confession song, he felt even more anxious. Huang Jun was rehearsing at the party, about to sing. Just then, Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao entered.
Huang Jun ran down to find her and wanted to talk to her alone. Although Qiu Letao had clearly refused, he was still persistent, so she agreed to talk to him alone for a while. Unexpectedly, Huang Jun actually revealed that Lu Shiyi liked Xia Xiaoju. Qiu Letao's face lit up for a moment when she heard it, but seeing Huang Jun, her face immediately fell. Huang Jun was still being persistent. Everyone started dancing together at the party.
Lu Shiyi was very angry watching Xia Xiaoju and Chang Le dance together and said that Xia Xiaoju danced like a clumsy penguin. Xia Xiaoju got angry when she heard that. At this time, Chang Le was about to go up to sing his confession, but he was interrupted by the arguing Huang Jun and Qiu Letao. Qiu Letao pushed Huang Jun to the ground and ran out. Xia Xiaoju chased after her. Huang Jun also cursed at Chang Le.
Lu Shiyi comforted Huang Jun's emotions a bit and also chased after them. Cheng Lang was waiting for Lin You backstage and only learned from their conversation that Lin You had an opportunity to study abroad. Lu Shiyi washed his face and ran out to confess to Xia Xiaoju. He pulled Xia Xiaoju away.
Episode 29 Recap
Lu Shiyi pulled Xia Xiaoju and kept running. After running for a long time, just as he was about to speak, Xia Xiaoju's phone rang. He snatched the phone away. When Xia Xiaoju tried to grab it back, Lu Shiyi hugged her. He said he liked Xia Xiaoju, and if he didn't say it, Xia Xiaoju would never know that he had liked her for a long time.
But Xia Xiaoju felt that Lu Shiyi was crazy, so she ran back, leaving Lu Shiyi alone, at a loss. After Xia Xiaoju returned to the dorm, she felt very uncomfortable thinking about Lu Shiyi confessing to her just now. At this moment, someone called her roommate looking for Xia Xiaoju. She didn't want to answer. Actually, it was Chang Le who called. Xiaoling also asked Xia Xiaoju what happened, suggesting she could use it as inspiration for her novel.
Lu Shiyi was drinking moodily in the dorm. Huang Jun also came in drunk. Both of them were in a bad mood because of relationship issues. The next day, Lu Shiyi waited for Xia Xiaoju downstairs from her dorm building. After Xia Xiaoju saw him, she deliberately walked among the crowd to avoid Lu Shiyi. However, she was still discovered by Lu Shiyi. Just as Xia Xiaoju was frequently looking back, Lu Shiyi had already walked in front of her.
As soon as she turned her head, she bumped into Lu Shiyi's arms. He brought her phone to Xia Xiaoju and asked if she had anything she wanted to say. Xia Xiaoju said to let her think about it some more. Qiu Letao returned to the dorm with a large bouquet of flowers and lots of snacks. Her roommates thought they were for Qiu Letao.
Actually, the flowers were from Chang Le for Xia Xiaoju, and the snacks were bought by Lu Shiyi for everyone, to bribe them into saying good things about him in front of Xia Xiaoju. After Xia Xiaoju returned, she was about to eat, but as soon as she heard it was bought by Lu Shiyi, she put them down.
But her roommates had already been bribed and kept praising how good Lu Shiyi was, saying he was so handsome he was on the medical department's handsome guys ranking and was the department's heartthrob. But Xia Xiaoju interrupted them, telling them to quickly go do other things. Then she separately sent QQ messages to Chang Le and Lu Shiyi, rejecting both of them. Cheng Lang and Lin You were sitting on campus.
Cheng Lang said he didn't want to go abroad; he wanted to stay. But he wouldn't stop Lin You from going abroad. Lin You got angry, saying that she had kept telling Cheng Lang to go abroad because she truly felt that the development model of the internet landscape overseas was better. However, Cheng Lang didn't mean that; he just felt that Lin You going abroad would definitely bring many advantages to her dancing.
Lu Shiyi thought about it repeatedly and decided to reply to Xia Xiaoju. He said that he didn't think pursuing Xia Xiaoju was a boring thing, and that in the future, they should just talk in person. Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were studying in the library. Xia Xiaoju filled a page with "CL I like you," but she already didn't like Cheng Lang. She wrote this to dispel Lu Shiyi's idea of liking her.
Xia Xiaoju called Lu Shiyi and asked him to bring her a cassette tape. After Lu Shiyi came over and actually saw the writing, he was stunned. Qiu Letao, to break the awkwardness, asked Lu Shiyi to help buy some water. Just then, Lin You happened to come over. She saw the writing and asked Xia Xiaoju if CL was the person she liked, and asked who it was.
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao panicked and didn't know what to say for a moment. At this point, Lu Shiyi came in with the water and broke the situation by saying that CL was himself because his English name was Cooper, full name Cooper Lu. He also hugged Xia Xiaoju and said they were already together.
Just like that, Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi performed a big scene in front of Lin You, pretending to be a couple who had just started dating. Qiu Letao and Xia Xiaoju discussed how they would act like a couple with Lu Shiyi later, but Xia Xiaoju felt disgusted just thinking about it. They were buddies! The more she thought about it, the more unreliable it felt. So she went to find Lu Shiyi to perform a big breakup scene.
However, Lu Shiyi disagreed, unless they acted like a real couple. But Xia Xiaoju wanted to act it herself. Lu Shiyi said that if she did that, he would go and tell Lin You that CL was Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju thought he was being unreasonable and left in a huff. Lu Shiyi was playing basketball on the court. His teammates all knew that Lu Shiyi's girlfriend was coming to watch him play today.
As a result, when Xia Xiaoju came, she didn't give him face, saying she was very busy, and just left. Lu Shiyi chased after her, saying she wasn't giving him face. But Xia Xiaoju felt that Lu Shiyi had bad intentions himself. As a result, they ran into Lin You and Cheng Lang on the road. The two of them also pretended to be a couple and were holding each other.
Episode 30 Recap
Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju were studying together in the library. A girl came to Lu Shiyi to deliver a love letter, but Lu Shiyi rejected her and said that Xia Xiaoju was his girlfriend. Xia Xiaoju felt that Lu Shiyi was just trying to make it known to everyone, and Lu Shiyi also pretended to be angry that Xia Xiaoju said that, so Xia Xiaoju left in a huff.
After returning to the dorm, Lu Shiyi was looking up information for Xia Xiaoju when Huang Jun suddenly discovered a post on the campus website, posted by the girl who confessed to Lu Shiyi, saying that it was too embarrassing to confess in front of Lu Shiyi's girlfriend. After Xia Xiaoju returned to the dorm, her roommate Gui Xiaoling also congratulated her on dating Lu Shiyi.
Xia Xiaoju wondered how she knew, and she said she saw it on the campus website post. Xia Xiaoju wanted to go online to see the post, but Gui Xiaoling's computer network was not good, and Xia Xiaoju didn't see the post. She ran to find Lu Shiyi, and he happened to be on the phone. He wanted to ask Cheng Lang about the campus website post.
As soon as Xia Xiaoju heard this, she thought Lu Shiyi had deliberately posted the post, and said things that hurt Lu Shiyi's feelings. She told Lu Shiyi that what was fake was fake, and she could never like Lu Shiyi. After returning to the dorm, she was also depressed, and even didn't eat the chocolate Qiu Letao offered, but Qiu Letao said that Lu Shiyi bought her so many snacks that she didn't eat.
Xia Xiaoju got angry again when she heard this and didn't let Qiu Letao mention Lu Shiyi in front of her. Lu Shiyi thought for a long time in the dorm. Qiu Letao was also trying to persuade Xia Xiaoju, asking why she was so impulsive whenever Lu Shiyi was mentioned. While browsing the posts, she happened to see Lu Shiyi's post saying "I don't have a girlfriend." Xia Xiaoju became even more angry.
Cheng Lang went to the dorm to ask Lu Shiyi how things were going with Xia Xiaoju. Cheng Lang advised him to go and explain to Xia Xiaoju, but he wouldn't listen. He felt that Xia Xiaoju always misunderstood him, but after Cheng Lang's careful guidance, he decided to take the initiative to find Xia Xiaoju. Xia Xiaoju was studying in the library, but she was absent-minded.
Lu Shiyi rushed in and dragged Xia Xiaoju out, telling her that the post on the campus website was not posted by him. He sought out Cheng Lang to ask him to delete the post, and he just wanted to give each other a chance. Since she was unwilling to accept it, he would give up. Xia Xiaoju subconsciously wanted to stop him.
When Lu Shiyi turned around to leave, Xia Xiaoju said sorry to him, saying that she had misunderstood him. Lu Shiyi immediately turned back and ran over to hug Xia Xiaoju. No matter how Xia Xiaoju pushed him, he wouldn't let go, saying that although he wasn't as good as Cheng Lang, he wasn't that bad either. Xia Xiaoju agreed to compensate Lu Shiyi by going on a date with him.
On the way to the cafeteria, Lu Shiyi reminded Xia Xiaoju about the date eight hundred times a day. Qiu Letao also thought Lu Shiyi was a very nice person. Suddenly, he rushed out from behind. Since they happened to meet, he invited Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao to eat together, but Qiu Letao had to pack it up because her boyfriend was waiting for her online, so she left first, leaving Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi.
They ran into Lin You and Cheng Lang, and they sat down to eat together. Cheng Lang was picking up food for Lin You, and they were very sweet. Lu Shiyi even picked up meat for Xia Xiaoju and fed it to her mouth. Suddenly, they started talking about the date, and Lin You wanted to go to the night market, so they decided to go together as a group of four.
At the night market, Xia Xiaoju saw the big white-style doll that she had given to Cheng Lang before. Lu Shiyi bought it for her and even walked her back to the dorm. After Xia Xiaoju went back, she was still absent-minded. She told Qiu Letao that she saw the doll and just thought of the one she had given to Cheng Lang before, but she didn't expect Lu Shiyi to buy it for her.
Qiu Letao advised Xia Xiaoju that "people should look forward," but Xia Xiaoju felt that anyone was okay, but Lu Shiyi was not, because she and Lu Shiyi were best friends, and she felt guilty towards the others and couldn't keep lying to them.
Xia Xiaoju ran to Lu Shiyi's classroom to find him and wanted to perform a big breakup scene with him, but Lu Shiyi didn't agree, and said that if she continued like this, he would go and tell Lin You that CL was Cheng Lang. After arguing, Lu Shiyi wanted to invite Xia Xiaoju to see a movie. Xia Xiaoju got angry and wanted to see a midnight show, the scariest one. Lu Shiyi agreed.
In the evening, Xia Xiaoju didn't want to go at first, but her roommates said that today's midnight movie was very bloody, and reminded Xia Xiaoju not to let Lu Shiyi's hemophobia act up again. When Xia Xiaoju thought about it, she got anxious and immediately ran to find Lu Shiyi. During the movie, Lu Shiyi even pretended to faint, which scared Xia Xiaoju, but as soon as Lu Shiyi looked up, he hugged Xia Xiaoju in his arms.
The next day, Xia Xiaoju went out to lead a group, and Lu Shiyi thoughtfully brought her food, saying that he would pick her up after she got off work, but Xia Xiaoju reminded him that he had class.
Qiu Letao woke up Xia Xiaoju, saying that Lu Shiyi thoughtfully and carefully delivered food to her, and Xia Xiaoju, who was usually so carefree, could even remember the medical department's class schedule, proving that they definitely had each other in their hearts. In the evening, Xia Xiaoju took a taxi back, and Lu Shiyi was waiting for her at the school gate.
After thinking about it, Xia Xiaoju decided to tell Lu Shiyi not to play the role of a couple anymore, even if Lu Shiyi said he would tell Lin You that CL was Cheng Lang, it didn't matter. Lu Shiyi asked Xia Xiaoju what the reason was, and if it was because she was afraid of falling in love with him. Xia Xiaoju was stunned.
Episode 31 Recap
Cheng Lang is on the phone with Lin You. Cheng Lang's mother and Lu Shiyi's mother also mentioned wanting to see what Cheng Lang's girlfriend looks like. As they talked, the conversation shifted to Lu Shiyi. Lu Shiyi's mother thought he hadn't caught on yet, but Cheng Lang said, "How do you know Lu Shiyi hasn't caught on?" Lu Shiyi's mother assumed Lu Shiyi was in a relationship. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju's mother asked her to deliver corn.
Lu Shiyi's mother and father were at home pressing him about whether he was dating anyone. As they were talking, Xia Xiaoju came in to deliver the corn. Lu Shiyi saw her, pointed at Xia Xiaoju, and said, "She's my girlfriend," but added, "we've already broken up," making everyone feel awkward. Lu Shiyi's mother was about to ask Xia Xiaoju if it was true, but Lu Shiyi said it was a joke, startling everyone.
As soon as Xia Xiaoju left, Lu Shiyi's mother said that Lu Shiyi shouldn't joke about such things. Xia Xiaoju also went back absent-mindedly. Before entering her house, she glanced at Lu Shiyi's room. Recalling how Lu Shiyi asked her last night if she was afraid of falling in love with him, she felt uncomfortable.
She thought that she was the one who wanted to break up all along, and now that Lu Shiyi had agreed, wasn't that a good thing? But she realized Lu Shiyi was just retreating to advance. Cheng Lang's mother made two boxes of pastries, one for him and one for his girlfriend. While waiting for the bus back to school, Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi didn't speak to each other.
Lu Shiyi said that since they just broke up, it wasn't appropriate to talk. Cheng Lang thought Lu Shiyi was joking, but Xia Xiaoju said he wasn't. After getting on the bus, Lu Shiyi still secretly and considerately held onto Xia Xiaoju's backpack strap. Cheng Lang went to Lin You's dance studio to find her, not forgetting to share the pastries with Lin You's junior classmates. Cheng Lang and Lin You sat in the dance studio eating the pastries.
Cheng Lang said that she had a chance to go home for dinner, Lin You agreed. She looked up and saw Yuan Ancheng passing by the door, she didn't know if she saw it wrong, but she was always absent-minded afterwards. Huang Jun was playing the guitar in the practice room. His band members were about to start their internships and were planning to quit, dissolving the band.
Actually, Huang Jun hadn't taken on any activities or commercial performances since breaking up with Qiu Letao. It was Huang Jun who wanted to disband the band, not them. Huang Jun and Lu Shiyi were drinking in the dorm. This time, Lu Shiyi asked him to choose between Qiu Letao and Xu Menglu. He finally didn't hesitate and chose Qiu Letao, but it was no use, Qiu Letao wouldn't get back together with him.
The next morning, Huang Jun received a call from a record company. It turned out that Qiu Letao had been sending the songs Huang Jun wrote to that company, and they were finally discovered. Huang Jun ran to find Qiu Letao, but she didn't want to have anything to do with Huang Jun anymore. Lin You was on the phone with Cheng Lang. She bought a scarf for Cheng Lang's mother.
Just as she hung up, Lin You received a call from Yuan Ancheng. Lin You has been clinging to Cheng Lang since then. She said she wanted to be with Cheng Lang all the time. Cheng Lang even kissed her, but when the phone rang, she started to get nervous, but it was Cheng Lang's phone.
But later Yuan Ancheng still found Lin You and told her that the reason for their breakup before was that he had a car accident abroad, his tendons were torn, and he couldn't heal. He couldn't play the piano and had transferred to the composition department. Lin You was very sad and blamed him for not telling her. Now it was too late, and she couldn't hurt Cheng Lang.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoju happened to pass by and saw Lin You meeting with Yuan Ancheng. After going back, she was always absent-minded, and even didn't eat the barbecue that Taozi bought. She told Taozi about it and discussed what to do and whether to tell Cheng Lang. In the evening, Cheng Lang's mother made a big table of dishes, but Lin You hadn't arrived after waiting for a long time, so he went to find Lin You.
It turned out that Yuan Ancheng went to Lin You's house to find her mother, and Lin You happened to hear that her mother knew about this back then but didn't tell Lin You. She was very sad. After running out, Yuan Ancheng chased after her and hugged Lin You, which was seen by Cheng Lang. He rushed over and hit Yuan Ancheng, but Lin You protected Yuan Ancheng, making Cheng Lang feel very disheartened.
Xia Xiaoju thought about it and went to find Lu Shiyi to tell him about this. They discussed telling Cheng Lang about it, but when they turned around, Cheng Lang had already heard it.
Episode 32 Recap
Lu Shiyi and Cheng Lang were drinking on the rooftop. Cheng Lang felt that relationships were very much like doubles tennis; whether it was good or not depended on two people, what could one person do? Lu Shiyi advised him that it wasn't just wishful thinking, Lin You still loved him, and suggested he go have a good talk with Yuan Ancheng. Just then, Cheng Lang received a call from Yuan Ancheng, who asked to meet and talk.
Yuan Ancheng found Cheng Lang and explained the hug, explaining the misunderstanding from back then. Yuan Ancheng felt that if he loved Lin You, he would want her to be happy, but it was precisely because Cheng Lang didn't trust Lin You that he was so angry yesterday. He also said that Cheng Lang was forcefully keeping Lin You by his side and that Lin You had already given up studying abroad.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lang immediately ran to find Lin You. Lin You explained that she wasn't intentionally protecting Yuan Ancheng, and she apologized to Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang spoke Lin You's thoughts aloud: she was scared, she was scared of facing Yuan Ancheng alone abroad, but Cheng Lang didn't want Lin You to feel guilty, and even less did he want her to give up anything.
Cheng Lang was playing basketball alone in the gym, and Lin You was practicing dance in the studio. Both of them had complex, inexpressible emotions. Xia Xiaoju ran to find Lin You and told her that there wasn't another Cheng Lang in this world. No matter what, Cheng Lang was the one who got her through it back then. How could she not know how much Cheng Lang loved her?
But even so, Lin You was still afraid of changing her mind. Lin You also wished she could be as free and easy as Xia Xiaoju, and let go of herself. She already knew that CL was Cheng Lang, and that Xia Xiaoju liked Cheng Lang. Lin You had heard everything Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi said in the classroom that day. She knew Xia Xiaoju felt very wronged, and she shouldn't have revealed Xia Xiaoju's inner secret.
Xia Xiaoju's roommates were discussing that after Lin You went abroad, a devoted guy like Cheng Lang would likely have a hard time getting over it. Cheng Lang was indeed very sad, sitting on the sports field and painfully recalling everything that had happened with Lin You, crying heartbrokenly, but Cheng Lang still chose to let go. Yuan Ancheng and Lin You went abroad together.
Before they left, Xia Xiaoju came to see Lin You off, hoping she would take good care of herself abroad. Cheng Lang also watched Lin You and Yuan Ancheng leave in the taxi. From then on, Cheng Lang focused on studying computer science, constantly learning, afraid of recalling Lin You, trying to find a way to stop thinking about her. Xia Xiaoju wanted to write to him again using the nickname Mango Pudding to comfort him.
As for Cheng Lang, he received an invitation from Niu Yu, the founder of China Yellow Pages, to start a business together. Cheng Lang was still considering it. Xia Xiaoju felt that Cheng Lang had been heavy-hearted recently. Taozi told her that time was the best medicine. Just then, someone came to promote the school's outdoor movie screening. Xia Xiaoju thought it would be suitable for Cheng Lang, so she called to invite him, but he didn't answer.
She went to his dorm but he wasn't there. She went to find Lu Shiyi. Seeing her state, Lu Shiyi asked her to make a choice, what was she really thinking? But Xia Xiaoju said he misunderstood, she was just worried about him as a friend. Lu Shiyi told Xia Xiaoju that Cheng Lang had gone to Paju to discuss website development, so Xia Xiaoju left.
At this moment, Lu Shiyi received a message from the director, asking him to be an exchange student with Shen Duo and study abroad at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Xia Xiaoju then went to find Cheng Lang to eat hot pot together in the dorm. Cheng Lang told Xia Xiaoju that he was going to the company in two days to start a business with Niu Yu.
Cheng Lang also told Xia Xiaoju that he already knew her feelings and thanked her, whether in real life or in the letters. He already knew that Xia Xiaoju was Mango Pudding. However, Xia Xiaoju had also let go now; she no longer liked Cheng Lang. Lu Shiyi was thinking about studying abroad; he still liked Xia Xiaoju and was very reluctant to leave her.
Episode 33 Recap
Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang were eating hot pot in the dorm. Xia Xiaoju accidentally got dipping sauce all over herself, and Cheng Lang helped her wipe it off. Lu Shiyi and Huang Jun happened to walk in and saw this scene, and they left angrily. Cheng Lang asked Xia Xiaoju if she needed to explain, but Xia Xiaoju told Cheng Lang about her and Lu Shiyi pretending to be a couple.
Lu Shiyi told her to come out, so Xia Xiaoju sat on a stone bench with Lu Shiyi for a long time, until dark. Only then did Lu Shiyi speak, telling Xia Xiaoju that he was going abroad; the department was sending him as an exchange student. Xia Xiaoju was first shocked, then said stubbornly that it was great, and congratulated Lu Shiyi, which made Lu Shiyi very angry.
He felt that when he told Xia Xiaoju about going abroad, he didn't want to hear her say congratulations. Xia Xiaoju was also very upset. Cheng Lang was going to Paju, and now she didn't expect Lu Shiyi was also leaving. It was like life had lost its center of gravity. Lu Shiyi looked at the application form in the dorm and thought for a long time before deciding to fill in his name.
Cheng Lang decided to play one more game of basketball with Lu Shiyi. However, Lu Shiyi was still playing very aggressively this time, even knocking Cheng Lang down. Cheng Lang understood what Lu Shiyi meant, and just smiled. He decided to have a talk with Lu Shiyi. Cheng Lang told Lu Shiyi that he had already cleared things up with Xia Xiaoju, and they would always be good friends.
Cheng Lang also told Lu Shiyi about his idea of going to Paju to start a business. Xia Xiaoju was also distracted in the dorm. After Qiu Letao asked, she found out that Lu Shiyi was going abroad. But Xia Xiaoju didn't want Lu Shiyi to give up a great future; going abroad was a very good opportunity.
Xia Xiaoju also expressed her innermost true feelings: when she is with Lu Shiyi, she doesn't have to worry about whether she is pretty or not, and she is always in the most comfortable and happy state. After Qiu Letao's guidance, Xia Xiaoju seems to realize that she might actually be falling in love with Lu Shiyi. Everyone came together to send Cheng Lang off to Paju.
They were all reluctant, but there's nothing they can do; there are no banquets that don't end, and everyone has their own ideas. After Cheng Lang leaves, Lu Shiyi and Xia Xiaoju go to the sports field together. Lu Shiyi apologizes to Xia Xiaoju, saying his temper was too volatile that day. He also says he knows Xia Xiaoju's thoughts: she just thinks their relationship is still uncertain and doesn't want to hold him back from his great future.
Xia Xiaoju is stunned for a moment; this is indeed what she was thinking. Lu Shiyi also says that for her, he can choose not to go abroad and can still be a very good doctor in China. The moment Lu Shiyi's face leans in, Xia Xiaoju becomes shy, her face turns red, but she still acts stubborn, refusing to admit that she likes Lu Shiyi, and runs away. Huang Jun sings one last song for Qiu Letao.
They are in their former practice room. Qiu Letao is very grateful for Huang Jun's appearance in her life; he is an important memory from her youth. However, the two are still not suitable for each other. Huang Jun sings "The Love You Had Then" for her while crying. Qiu Letao also sheds tears. But the two are still friends. Huang Jun wishes Qiu Letao happiness and says his formal farewell.
Xia Xiaoju is recalling moments with Lu Shiyi in the dorm. Suddenly, she receives a call saying she needs to go to Paju to lead a group. After Lu Shiyi returns to the dorm, he tears up the application form for going abroad. He knows that Xia Xiaoju likes him. Lu Shiyi calls Xia Xiaoju but she doesn't answer. He sees the weather forecast predicting heavy rain in Paju and is very anxious.
He calls Qiu Letao but can't reach her either. At this moment, Xia Xiaoju arrives at the hotel with everyone and happens to see Cheng Lang. It turns out Xia Xiaoju's parents were very worried and called Cheng Lang. Xia Xiaoju quickly calls her family back. To fulfill his host's duty, Cheng Lang offers to treat Xia Xiaoju to seafood at a street stall. Xia Xiaoju goes to change her clothes.
Episode 34 Recap
Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang went to a seafood street stall. Suddenly, while Xia Xiaoju wasn't paying attention, a thief snatched her bag. Xia Xiaoju quickly ran to chase after him, and Cheng Lang saw this and rushed to chase as well. On the way, Xia Xiaoju suddenly tripped and fell. Cheng Lang helped her up. Xia Xiaoju said there were very valuable items in the bag.
Cheng Lang told Xia Xiaoju to call 110 and then quickly ran off to chase. Although Xia Xiaoju told Cheng Lang not to chase, he didn't hear her. Cheng Lang chased the thief to a street corner. The thief actually pulled out a knife, and there were accomplices behind him. However, luckily, in this emergency, villagers helped, and the police also arrived in time. Cheng Lang chased back Xia Xiaoju's bag and was not injured.
This scared Xia Xiaoju to tears. Suddenly, Cheng Lang's keychain fell out. It was a dog head ornament that Xia Xiaoju had given him under the name 'Mango Pudding' back then, and Cheng Lang was still using it. Xia Xiaoju said she bought that ornament with the money from her first part-time job. She also said she thought it looked silly and stupid, which really suited Cheng Lang's temperament, and it made Cheng Lang laugh.
Suddenly, Cheng Lang asked Xia Xiaoju to check if anything was missing from the bag. Xia Xiaoju opened the bag and her first reaction was to look for the seashell hairpin Lu Shiyi had given her. Cheng Lang told Xia Xiaoju that she didn't check her phone or her wallet, proving that she liked Lu Shiyi in her heart. Xia Xiaoju decided that when she returned, she would tell Lu Shiyi that she liked him.
Cheng Lang said Lu Shiyi would be overjoyed after he found out. But Lu Shiyi had decided to go abroad. He had packed everything in his dorm room. After returning home, Lu Shiyi's mother gave him a checklist for going abroad and wanted him to wait another week to leave, after Cheng Lang and Xia Xiaoju returned.
She also wanted to ask a classmate to bring a laptop for Lu Shiyi, but Lu Shiyi's father told her not to delay their son from preparing, and the two started bickering. Lu Shiyi went into his room by himself and recalled going to Paju because he was worried about Xia Xiaoju, and happening to see Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang talking about giving the dog head ornament.
He remembered going on a date with Xia Xiaoju and the dog head she liked, and realized what it meant. It was only then that Lu Shiyi decided to go abroad. Xia Xiaoju was leading a tour group in Paju. Her mother called her and mentioned Lu Shiyi was going abroad, but someone called her away at that moment, so she didn't hear clearly.
When she asked again, Xia Xiaoju's mother just asked if she could come back the day after tomorrow. Xia Xiaoju said she could, of course, and didn't think much of it. She also looked at the messages on her phone, wondering what Lu Shiyi was doing and why he wasn't replying to her messages. Lu Shiyi was playing chess with Grandpa Guanghui and said he would come back to play with him every year.
As he left, he saw Xia Xiaoju's house and felt very reluctant, his eyes welling up. The next day, everyone came to send Lu Shiyi off. They were all very reluctant. Xia Xiaoju was still foolishly unaware. On the bus, Xia Xiaoju looked at the hairpin Lu Shiyi gave her, thinking of telling him how she felt. But suddenly the bus braked, and the hairpin fell to the ground and was crushed.
After getting off the bus, Lu Shiyi's car happened to pass by, but Xia Xiaoju had her back to them, and they missed each other just like that. Only after returning home did she find out Lu Shiyi had gone abroad. She quickly took a taxi to the airport but didn't make it; Lu Shiyi had already left. After returning home, Xia Xiaoju texted Lu Shiyi, but he didn't reply. Lu Shiyi's phone was already left at home.
She ran to Lu Shiyi's house to ask for his contact information, but Lu Shiyi's mother didn't have it yet and told Xia Xiaoju to send Lu Shiyi an email. Xia Xiaoju went back and immediately emailed Lu Shiyi, but he didn't reply to any of them. Suddenly, Qiu Letao sent Xia Xiaoju a photo of Lu Shiyi and Shen Duo together. Xia Xiaoju's heart immediately turned cold. Lu Shiyi's mother wrote down Lu Shiyi's contact information for Xia Xiaoju.
Xia Xiaoju immediately called him after returning home, but Shen Duo answered. She also told Xia Xiaoju that she was already with Lu Shiyi. Even though Xia Xiaoju didn't believe it, when Lu Shiyi asked from the other end of the phone who it was, Xia Xiaoju truly believed they were together. Xia Xiaoju was very sad and went out drinking with Qiu Letao. She felt that she didn't cherish Lu Shiyi, and even God was punishing her.
Qiu Letao thought there must be a misunderstanding, but Xia Xiaoju thought it was the truth. In the blink of an eye, four years of college had passed. Everyone took graduation photos together, and college was officially over.
Episode 35 Recap
Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were chatting outside together. Qiu Letao said she was getting married and Xia Xiaoju would be her bridesmaid, but she just wouldn't tell Xia Xiaoju who the groom was. However, Qiu Letao had arranged a bachelorette party this Saturday, and then Xia Xiaoju would know. Several years had passed, and the times had changed dramatically. Cheng Lang had started his own company, and Xia Xiaoju had become a manager at a travel company.
Even the equipment used in Cheng Lang's mother's hair salon was the latest. The three of them gathered again to discuss their children. Xia Xiaoju's mother was very anxious about Xia Xiaoju's marriage. As for Lu Shiyi's mother, although she hadn't asked, she felt that Lu Shiyi should have a girlfriend. While they were talking, Xia Xiaoju's mother asked Cheng Lang when he would be free.
Xia Xiaoju went to work in the morning and learned that the flight to Australia was delayed. In order not to affect the tour group members, she came up with a good plan that would benefit both parties. The company's President Li greatly appreciated Xia Xiaoju's capability. Moreover, the first customer for the company's newly launched luxury high-end private tour specifically requested Xia Xiaoju as their guide. Xia Xiaoju also promised the boss she wouldn't disappoint him.
Cheng Lang's company was developing very well. The e-commerce he focused on had a great development trend in China. Xia Xiaoju received a call from her mother asking her to come home for dinner in the evening. Xia Xiaoju's younger brother, Jiasu, was already in his third year of high school, but he still loved to play and bicker with Xia Xiaoju. The two of them still loved to argue.
However, this time, both Mom and Dad took Xia Xiaoju's side, unlike when they were younger and were so partial to Jiasu. Jiasu was watching TV and happened to see Huang Jun singing on television. Xia Xiaoju said she didn't know him, but Jiasu remembered he and Lu Shiyi had come over to play. Xia Xiaoju saw that her mother had cooked a lot of dishes and said they couldn't finish it, but her mother said someone else was coming.
As she said that, the person arrived. When Xia Xiaoju opened the door, it was Cheng Lang. At the dinner table, Xia Xiaoju's mother showed great care for Cheng Lang and even told Xia Xiaoju to put food on Cheng Lang's plate. However, Xia Xiaoju felt that Cheng Lang was like family, so it was okay.
Even Jiasu could tell what was going on from this gesture – she wanted Cheng Lang to be her son-in-law, and she even told Xia Xiaoju to take Cheng Lang out to stroll around Jiangzhou after dinner. After dinner, Xia Xiaoju and Cheng Lang chatted in the car. As they talked, they brought up Lu Shiyi. However, Xia Xiaoju said she had tried dating two people, but it was quite boring.
Cheng Lang told Xia Xiaoju that Lu Shiyi was coming back to Jiangzhou and asked her if she still liked Lu Shiyi. But Xia Xiaoju felt there was no point in talking about that now; people should look forward. However, Xia Xiaoju also told Cheng Lang the news that Lin You was getting married. Cheng Lang remained outwardly calm. After returning to the company, he took out that computer programming book, which he had kept until now.
Inside the book was also the photo he took with Lin You. He looked at the photo for a long time. Xia Xiaoju went to the company to work in the morning. The boss asked her to meet with the private tour customer. As a result, when she opened the door and went in, the person was Lu Shiyi. But Lu Shiyi said he wasn't familiar with Xia Xiaoju. The boss instructed Xia Xiaoju to treat him well.
However, Lu Shiyi said he was going to propose to his girlfriend and had specifically customized this romantic itinerary to scout locations. Xia Xiaoju was shocked after hearing this. Xia Xiaoju took Lu Shiyi to the first scenic spot, but Lu Shiyi had already listed the places he wanted to go. He wanted to go to Yunhai first, which was where they had their high school graduation trip. Lu Shiyi drove Xia Xiaoju.
When they arrived at Yunhai, it had developed very quickly and was very beautiful. Lu Shiyi actually didn't want to leave and even booked a standalone guesthouse. Xia Xiaoju stayed on the second floor, and Lu Shiyi stayed on the first floor. Xia Xiaoju even deliberately made noise upstairs to disturb Lu Shiyi. When Lu Shiyi saw a place selling small ornaments, he asked Xia Xiaoju to choose one.
She chose the seashell hairpin that Lu Shiyi had given her back then, but Lu Shiyi said his girlfriend didn't like seashell hairpins, so he picked a bracelet instead, which made Xia Xiaoju very angry. In the evening, Lu Shiyi called Xia Xiaoju down to eat by the sea, but he ordered a couple's set meal.
Xia Xiaoju told him to be more mindful, but he said Xia Xiaoju was overthinking it, and this couple's set meal was also just to try the dishes. Xia Xiaoju stood up and was about to leave, saying she would not serve Lu Shiyi even if she quit. Lu Shiyi ran to chase after Xia Xiaoju to explain, but when Xia Xiaoju pushed him, he fell into the pool. He shouted loudly that he couldn't swim.
Xia Xiaoju suddenly remembered that Lu Shiyi was very afraid of water, and he didn't dare go near the sea before, and he didn't know how to swim. She immediately ran back and jumped into the pool to save him.
Episode 36 (Ending) Recap
After Xia Xiaoju saved Lu Shiyi, she anxiously performed CPR on him. Lu Shiyi suddenly opened his eyes, it turned out he was doing it on purpose. He said that Xia Xiaoju still cared about him and told Xia Xiaoju to wait for him on the beach early tomorrow morning.
Xia Xiaoju also dreamed that night that Lu Shiyi had arranged heart-shaped petals for her on the beach, and just as they were about to be together, she suddenly woke up. The waiter knocked on the door to deliver the breakfast Lu Shiyi had ordered and also gave Xia Xiaoju something. Xia Xiaoju opened it and saw it was the bracelet Lu Shiyi had chosen that day.
Xia Xiaoju recalled the times she had missed out on with Lu Shiyi before, so she went to the beach to look for him desperately, but he wasn't there. She searched for a long time but couldn't find him. He didn't answer her call either. Xia Xiaoju waited on the beach for a long time, thinking about the happy experiences she had with Lu Shiyi. Suddenly, Lu Shiyi called and said he had something to do at the hospital.
But Xia Xiaoju felt that Lu Shiyi was playing a trick on her. She was very angry, even scolding Lu Shiyi as a jerk and saying she would never talk to him again. She threw the bracelet on the beach and left. After returning to the company, Cheng Lang called Xia Xiaoju. He had to work overtime and couldn't go to Qiu Letao's bachelorette party. He also told Xia Xiaoju that Lu Shiyi was back.
But Xia Xiaoju sternly told Cheng Lang that she had nothing to do with Lu Shiyi anymore, that she was very busy and had no time to think about boring things. As soon as she hung up, Cheng Lang saw Lin You on the side of the road. He was very excited and was just about to go to her, but suddenly a foreign man came over and kissed Lin You on the forehead. Cheng Lang stopped in his tracks.
He knew Lin You was getting married and that he should let go. Looking at the backs of Lin You and the other person, he seemed to feel a sense of relief. - - - In the evening, Xia Xiaoju and Qiu Letao were at the bachelorette party together. After a while, Lu Shiyi arrived. But Xia Xiaoju didn't want to see him, saying Lu Shiyi was a liar and scum.
Lu Shiyi was about to explain but was interrupted by Xia Xiaoju, who said they shouldn't know each other from now on, and she left angrily. Qiu Letao went over to comfort Xia Xiaoju, saying that no matter what, she should be happy at today's party for her sake. After going out, Xia Xiaoju toasted everyone. Just as Lu Shiyi was about to clink glasses, Xia Xiaoju avoided him. Lu Shiyi was also very angry.
After a while, Bao Xiangxiang arrived. Xia Xiaoju didn't know the relationship between Bao Xiangxiang and Qiu Letao. Just as Bao Xiangxiang said he would treat everyone, Xia Xiaoju even said that Bao Xiangxiang wasn't the groom, wasn't he being a bit presumptuous? But Qiu Letao told Xia Xiaoju that Bao Xiangxiang was the groom. Xia Xiaoju was stunned. After all, Qiu Letao hadn't told Xia Xiaoju who the groom was.
Suddenly, they both remembered competing for the rank of not being the last in high school and drinking together until they were very drunk. Everyone else left, Qiu Letao took Bao Xiangxiang back to the hotel, and Lu Shiyi carried Xia Xiaoju back to the room. Lu Shiyi thoughtfully wiped Xia Xiaoju's face and took care of her. As soon as Xia Xiaoju opened her eyes and saw Lu Shiyi, she couldn't help but kiss him.
Lu Shiyi lost control and asked Xia Xiaoju if she knew who he was. She said, "Big Earth," Lu Shiyi smiled, and they kissed. The next day, Xia Xiaoju was woken up by a phone call telling her to get ready. Today was Qiu Letao's wedding day, and she was going to be the bridesmaid. At the wedding, Qiu Letao held her father's arm.
Her father gave Qiu Letao to Bao Xiangxiang, and the two of them read their wedding vows together. Everyone was very touched. Huang Jun also watched Qiu Letao's radiant smile of happiness from outside the wedding venue. When it came to throwing the bouquet, Xia Xiaoju was lucky enough to catch it. Lu Shiyi seemed to have prepared for this; he proposed to Xia Xiaoju. Qiu Letao pushed Xia Xiaoju forward, and Lu Shiyi expressed his feelings. Xia Xiaoju was very happy and touched. Xia Xiaoju said yes to Lu Shiyi, and the whole crowd applauded. Xia Xiaoju and Lu Shiyi were finally together.
