A River Runs Through It Episode 16 Recap
> A River Runs Through It 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.
