About Is Love Episode 26 Recap
> About Is Love Recap
After an unsettling dream of a wedding where the groom was someone she never imagined, Zhou Shi found herself in turmoil. The next morning, she confided in Dr. Chen, who not only lauded Zhou Shi's exceptional progress in treating Wei Qing, achieving in a month what Dr. Chen couldn't in ten years, but also advised her to gradually increase the intensity of Wei Qing's treatment.
When Zhou Shi hesitantly brought up her dream, Dr. Chen explained that dreams often reflect subconscious feelings and suggested that Zhou Shi's emotions towards this particular person were deeper than she believed, urging her to carefully examine her true feelings. That evening, Zhou Shi told Wei Qing that Dr. Chen had suggested increasing the treatment intensity. Wei Qing readily agreed, finding current challenges too easy.
Zhou Shi proposed the "hardest one" and, keeping it a secret, led him blindfolded to a new training ground. Despite his unease about the strong smell and the presence of others, Wei Qing trusted her. Once he removed his blindfold, he was horrified to find himself surrounded by cats.
The sight triggered a traumatic flashback to his childhood, where his father furiously interrogated him about a cat's death, accusing him of lying, and struck him when he callously dismissed the cat as merely a stray, like Ning Fei, picked up from the street. Wei Qing, distraught, questioned why he was born if they preferred "picked up" things. The memory, coupled with the real cats, overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse with a splitting headache.
He was rushed to the hospital, where Zhou Shi was consumed by guilt. Dr. Chen arrived, admonishing Zhou Shi for her reckless approach, emphasizing that cats were Wei Qing's greatest fear. Wei Qing was stable but required several days of observation. Later, in his hospital room, Wei Qing re-entered a nightmare. He was chased by a menacing cat, leading him to his father's bloodied body.
His father then sat up, grabbing Wei Qing by the neck and accusing him of murder. Wei Qing awoke in a cold sweat, screaming "I didn't do it!" repeatedly. Doctors had to sedate him to calm him down. Dr. Chen informed Zhou Shi that Wei Qing's treatment would have to restart from scratch due to his emotional instability.
Despite Wei An urging her to rest, Zhou Shi insisted on staying by Wei Qing's side, feeling responsible, and sent Wei An back to handle company matters. News of Wei Qing's hospitalization quickly leaked to the media, drawing a swarm of reporters to the hospital corridors the next morning. Luckily, Wei An spotted them in time and secured Wei Qing's room.
Zhou Shi quickly devised a plan: Wei An would disguise himself as Wei Qing and leave through the main entrance to create a diversion, allowing Zhou Shi to discreetly escort Wei Qing out through a different exit. The plan was successful, and Wei Qing was safely brought home. That night, while watching TV, a cat on screen startled Wei Qing, causing him to instinctively hug Zhou Shi. Both felt a blush of embarrassment.
As he had done before, Wei Qing found comfort sleeping with his head resting on Zhou Shi's arm. The following morning, Lin Feifei, seeing the news about Wei Qing online, immediately visited Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi confessed her motivation for the intense therapy: she felt her relationship with Wei Qing was becoming too ambiguous, and she wanted to quickly cure him so they could separate and clarify their boundaries.
She expressed anger at the paparazzi for fabricating stories based on intimate photos. Lin Feifei revealed that the photos were sent to "Celebrities" magazine, and she could only persuade He Wei to mosaic Zhou Shi's face, but nothing more. Just then, Wei Qing called, demanding Zhou Shi's immediate return. Upon her return, Zhou Shi found Wei Qing withdrawn, playing video games.
She chastised him, reminding him of his responsibilities as Yun Ma's chairman and the dire rumors circulating—that he had gone crazy, and Yun Ma was collapsing. She recalled his usual aura of superiority and control, how he had always effortlessly identified and exploited his opponents' weaknesses. Now, facing himself, he seemed to be giving up too easily. Wei Qing grew agitated and cut her off, refusing to listen. A knock on the door revealed Ning Fei.
Despite Wei Qing's objections, Zhou Shi opened it. Ning Fei, desperate, explained that his aunt, He Yun, had been dismissed from Yun Ma Artwork and was ill. He pleaded with Wei Qing to help her. After much persuasion, Wei Qing emerged, assuring Ning Fei that he would not let anything happen to Yun Ma Artwork and instructing him to tell He Yun. Zhou Shi gently guided Wei Qing to the Yun Ma Artwork gallery.
After tending to business, she led him to the spot where they first had their memorable mud fight, and they playfully reenacted the scene. Then, in an unexpected move to help him overcome his deep-seated fear, Zhou Shi donned a large cat helmet and costume, urging Wei Qing to "defeat" the "cat" with his own hands. Touched by her efforts, Wei Qing embraced her, apologizing for causing her so much worry. Later, Wei Qing met with Xue Zi.
Xue Zi directly expressed her astonishment at Wei Qing's decision to transfer his shares to He Wei, stating she had expected him to compel He Wei to transfer them to him, thereby securing his position. She admitted her initial plan was to collaborate with him once he had ascended to power, to jointly expand Yun Ma Artwork.
However, she was disappointed by his impetuous decision, which, in her view, led to Yun Ma Artwork falling completely into the hands of He Wei and He Yun. She criticized his clemency, believing it would ultimately lead to Yun Ma Artwork's demise. Nevertheless, Xue Zi proposed a solution: she offered to transfer her shares to Wei Qing, stating her only desire was a genuine collaboration.
Following He Wei's share transfer, Wei Qing also transferred his shares to his mother, He Yun, allowing her to regain full ownership of the gallery. He Yun was overcome with emotion, joyfully weeping as she gazed at a photo of herself and her late husband in her office. The next day, Zhou Shi signed up for a fieldwork activity with Zhang Shuai, organized by her department.
That evening, she confided in Lin Feifei and Bi Qiu Jing that she intended to use the trip to clear her head, simply telling Wei Qing that she was moving back to her own place. She firmly stated that her relationship with Wei Qing was purely professional, asserting that he didn't like her, nor could she claim to like him. She attributed her previous confusion and panic to their close proximity and her friends' "psychological hints."
As the three prepared for a best-friend mask night, they saw Ning Fei also packing. Ning Fei then surprised them by announcing he, too, was joining the fieldwork trip. That night, in Zhou Shi's absence, Wei Qing found himself unable to sleep, passing the long hours by playing games and drinking alone.
