A River Runs Through It Episode 2 Recap
> A River Runs Through It 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.
