A River Runs Through It Episode 8 Recap
> A River Runs Through It 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.
