A Romance of the Little Forest Episode 5 Recap
> A Romance of the Little Forest Recap
Zhuang Yu took his instruments out of his suitcase and put them on the table. Looking at the map of Qingshui Village, the terrain was complex, and it would be better to find a guide to go up the mountain. He didn't expect that the guesthouse he was staying at belonged to Yu Meiren's family, and he even booked it for a month.
Yu Meiren's mother specifically came to bring him some fruit, but he didn't answer much when she asked him questions. Yu Meiren's mother thought he looked good, but his communication seemed to have some issues. She also saw "East China University" written on his bag. After going out, the more she thought about it, the more familiar it felt. She saw the photo of her boyfriend's back that Yu Meiren had sent her before and thought it was a coincidence.
Both of them were from East China University, and the back view looked exactly the same. However, Yu Meiren's younger brother didn't think so, and her father also felt they didn't look alike. Yu Meiren's mother quickly went to look at his personal information. It turned out he was only 29 years old, not much older than Yu Meiren. While they were talking, Zhuang Yu came down with the map and asked if there was anyone familiar with the terrain.
Yu Meiren's father drew the address for him and told him to go find Zhang Shouyi, as he was more familiar with it. Zhuang Yu thanked him and left. Her mother quickly called Yu Meiren and asked what her boyfriend's name was. Yu Meiren was shooting an advertisement, so she found an excuse to hang up.
Her mother always felt that whenever she asked about her boyfriend, Yu Meiren would be evasive or change the subject, so there must be a problem. She decided to start with Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu found Zhang Shouyi's house on the way up the mountain, but no one answered the door when he knocked, so he went on by himself. The advertisement shoot on Yu Meiren's side was not going smoothly.
The director was clearly making things difficult on purpose, but Yu Meiren still worked professionally, giving him no mistakes to pick on. To prevent the film crew from damaging the tea leaves, Yu Meiren voluntarily offered to help pick them first. While she was picking, she was filmed by a stranger boy who was deeply attracted to her as soon as he saw her.
When she accidentally pricked her hand, he quickly went over to show concern and got her a band-aid. This person also studied botany. After finishing the shoot, Yu Meiren quickly went home. That handsome young stranger from earlier also stayed at Yu Meiren's guesthouse and asked if Zhuang Yu also lived there. Just as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yu returned. The two of them didn't seem to get along well upon meeting. Professor Zhuang never brings back fake goods.
When Yu Meiren's mother called her, Zhuang Yu happened to come over to get some water. Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, he knew who it was. He deliberately went over to talk so that Yu Meiren could hear him as well. As soon as Yu Meiren described his characteristics, she heard his voice. Sure enough, Zhuang Yu walked out of the guesthouse shortly after.
Yu Meiren quickly hid and, while he wasn't paying attention, grabbed her luggage and ran out. That night, Yu Meiren went to her old family home, but she hadn't expected that after not living there for several years, it would become so eerie. Even the lights didn't work, and the wind whistled past in gusts. Yu Meiren cautiously carried her luggage inside and accidentally stepped on a squawking toy chicken, getting startled.
She planned to make do there for the night, but she kept getting scared, developed itchy rashes on her body, and the door even opened by itself. Yu Meiren screamed in fright and ran out, just in time to bump into Zhuang Yu who was coming over. She immediately hugged him. Later, Yu Meiren still went to Li Tiantian's house to stay.
Her mother still thought Yu Meiren's boyfriend was Zhuang Yu and kept asking him subtly whether he had a girlfriend. The next day, while Yu Meiren was shooting the advertisement, Zhuang Yu passed by behind. Her assistant even thought Yu Meiren was shooting the advertisement to chase after him. Just as Yu Meiren finished putting on makeup and was about to go say hello, she saw her mother next to him. She immediately hid and put on a mascot head.
Zhuang Yu noticed Yu Meiren and even smiled. He then used the excuse of asking for directions to lead Yu Meiren's mother away. Yu Meiren also joked that pretending to be a fool was still somewhat useful.
