A River Runs Through It Episode 34 Recap
> A River Runs Through It 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.
