A River Runs Through It Episode 15 Recap
> A River Runs Through It 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.
