A Romance of the Little Forest Episode 12 Recap
> A Romance of the Little Forest Recap
Jin Xi was making coffee absentmindedly, not knowing who Tiantian went on a date with. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he specifically called Linda and asked Tiantian to come over to deliver some documents. Yu Meiren held the hat and thought in her room. She opened her computer, wondering if she had to make another spreadsheet for her parents.
After much thought, she decided she had to ask Tiantian, so she called her and told her that her mother seemed to have found out. Tiantian analyzed it as her love story turning into a family drama, saying the change in style was too fast and the audience wouldn't like it. However, there were pros and cons. The con was obviously a parent-child crisis; her credibility rating at home might decrease.
The pro was that she could take this opportunity to go with the flow. Plus, Professor Zhuang had promised to cooperate with her before, so this matter naturally affected his reputation, which he must value greatly. Then, the two of them could use this opportunity to show off their affection as much as needed, and he would definitely have to cooperate. Yu Meiren felt the same way, saying maybe with the cooperation, her parents would eventually believe it.
Tiantian truly lived up to being a strategist. As soon as she hung up, Tiantian started watching her show, but then Linda called. After Tiantian delivered the documents to Jin Xi, she suggested that if he had any work requirements after office hours next time, he could tell her in advance so she could arrange her time. Jin Xi apologized, saying it was his fault this time, and had prepared a little something to compensate her.
Tiantian was originally going to refuse, but she couldn't resist when she saw a table full of milk tea. Zhuang Yu had already started packing his things to go up the mountain. Lv Jian also went to find him with his sleeping bag. Zhuang Yu advised him not to stay overnight and said he didn't have any books to read on the mountain because he identified plant characteristics and appearances using the knowledge in his head.
Actually, Lv Jian just wanted to go up the mountain with him but was too shy to say it directly. Tiantian had drunk all the milk tea and was about to leave, but when Jin Xi heard she had a second date, he started finding things for her to do again. He also showed her different kinds of scenery and various toys, letting her experience supreme happiness. Yu Meiren analyzed that she shouldn't act rashly.
After going downstairs, she overheard her parents talking and then went over pretending nothing was wrong, asking if they were hiding something from her. They were evasive and didn't say anything. Yu's Mom still wanted to talk to Zhuang Yu, so she went upstairs to find him. However, when she went in, Lv Jian was in the room. Only then did they learn that Zhuang Yu had gone up the mountain for fieldwork.
Yu Meiren had to pretend she knew but had forgotten. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, so she quickly messaged Tiantian, but Tiantian was having a blast playing a boxing game. Then she messaged Zhuang Yu, telling him not to act rashly. In the morning, Zhuang Yu woke up outside the mountain, only to find Yu Meiren's whole family had arrived.
It turned out Yu's Mom specifically woke her up in the morning, wanting the whole family to go up the mountain to find Zhuang Yu for camping. Yu Meiren and Zhuang Yu discussed that instead of concealing it, they should put on a good show, which might eliminate suspicion. During breakfast, she even asked her mother to take a group photo and asked Zhuang Yu to post it on WeChat Moments.
Zhuang Yu posted it as soon as he received the photo, but he posted the original image instead of the one Yu Meiren had edited, which made Yu Meiren angry. She had thought he would post it to a private group, but it turned out he didn't even know what a private group was. After the meal, the two of them went to see the sweet wormwood flowers bloom.
As they looked at the flowers, they looked at each other at the same time, their eyes full of unstoppable love, but they were interrupted by Lv Jian. Yu Meiren hurried away, giving herself a pep talk to stay calm and not be nervous.
