About Is Love Episode 3 Recap
> About Is Love Recap
Lin Feifei brings Zhou Shi to her shared apartment, only to find their roommate has changed the entry password again. Lin Feifei ingeniously holds up an egg tart to the security camera, prompting the roommate to unlock the door. Upon learning Zhou Shi can cook, the roommate immediately welcomes her, enlisting her to be responsible for all three meals a day, to which Zhou Shi readily agrees.
Shortly after, Li Ming Cheng calls, reminding Zhou Shi about a summer sketching assignment that she is the only one in their class yet to submit. Zhou Shi assures him she will complete it that very night. Struggling for creative inspiration, she suddenly recalls the night she spent watching a meteor shower with Wei Qing, and uses that memory as the subject for her painting. This artwork, chosen by Wei Qing, later leads to her winning the Yun Ma Scholarship.
On the award stage, a power outage occurs. Wei Qing pulls Zhou Shi aside, leans close, and enigmatically tells her they will meet again. As Zhou Shi exits the auditorium, she discovers her long-lost necklace in her pocket. She is then flooded with the realization that she and Wei Qing had indeed met before, and he was the person she saved on the bridge that fateful night.
Later, Zhou Shi is browsing at a bookstore when she spots her favorite Sufang paints, which are always too expensive for her to afford. As she stands on a stool, admiring a box of the paints, she is accidentally knocked into a shopping cart. However, the boy pushing the cart ignores her and continues selecting paints until his cart is full. As he leaves the bookstore, he gives Zhou Shi a box of Sufang paints.
Eagerly, she opens the box, inadvertently splashing paint on her white hoodie. Back at school, Zhou Shi asks Zhang Shuai, who is skilled in ink wash painting, to help transform the paint stain on her hoodie into an artistic design. Just then, Lin Feifei arrives with a campus reporter to interview Zhou Shi. The reporter eagerly photographs Zhou Shi's uniquely painted hoodie.
Spotting Teacher Xiao approaching, Zhou Shi quickly ducks under a desk, pleading with Zhang Shuai to shield her from view. Zhang Shuai timidly agrees to help her. Afterward, when asked by Lin Feifei about Zhou Shi, he shyly rates her beauty as "100 points." Lin Feifei learns that Zhou Shi has again fallen behind on her tuition and is being chased by Teacher Xiao.
She scolds Zhou Shi for refusing to take living expenses from home and making things difficult for herself. Zhou Shi explains her family's financial struggles and that art is an expensive major, so she does not want to burden her parents. Lin Feifei knows that Zhou Shi came to this city specifically for Li Ming Cheng. Zhou Shi then receives a call from Li Ming Cheng and immediately rushes off to meet him.
Meanwhile, Wei Qing informs his doctor that he has found the person he was looking for—Zhou Shi. He states his intention to win her over within a month, having identified her financial vulnerability as her primary weakness. Elsewhere, the boy who gave Zhou Shi the paint receives two express deliveries at his home, one of which turns out to be women's underwear, much to his surprise and confusion.
Zhou Shi arrives at Kwang Hua University’s Go Club and watches Li Ming Cheng intently playing, just as focused and handsome as when he tutored her in high school. Li Ming Cheng congratulates Zhou Shi on her enterprise scholarship and asks her to treat him to dinner. During their meal, he encourages her to consider applying for graduate school at Kwang Hua University.
Envisioning a future where they could eat together in the cafeteria and study in the library, Zhou Shi eagerly agrees. Li Ming Cheng expresses his satisfaction, promising to study and work on projects with her if she gains admission, a prospect that deeply excites Zhou Shi, although it differs from her initial imaginings. Mid-conversation, Zhou Shi receives an unsettling call from an unknown number, the caller asking if she left underwear at his place.
Believing it to be a pervert, Zhou Shi angrily hangs up the phone. As Li Ming Cheng and Zhou Shi leave the restaurant, they encounter Zhang Ran Yu sitting in her car. Zhang Ran Yu makes a snide remark about Zhou Shi’s university, "Kwang Hua Vision," highlighting its perceived inferiority to "Kwang Hua University," stating that while they are only one word apart, one is a national key university and the other a third-tier college.
As Zhou Shi stands embarrassed, Li Ming Cheng reassures her, saying that once she gets into Kwang Hua, they will be alumni even if they take the same bus. He then reminds Zhang Ran Yu's driver not to drive after drinking. Zhou Shi discovers that her shared apartment roommate is a brilliant chemistry student from Kwang Hua University.
Zhou Shi is greatly impressed by her high intelligence and asks Lin Feifei to help her find a job to save money for her own Kwang Hua aspirations. Lin Feifei readily agrees, offering to take her to her bartending job that very night. Lin Feifei then asks Zhou Shi if she received an expected express delivery of underwear.
Their roommate explains that their first-floor apartment used to be a storage room for the art studios on the second and third floors, which the landlord later separated and rented out, hence the shared mailing address. She suggests that since the upstairs owner is back and their room was empty, the package might have been sent upstairs. Lin Feifei connects this to Zhou Shi's earlier "pervert" phone call, convinced it must be the upstairs tenant.
Just as Zhou Shi prepares to call, loud banging sounds erupt from upstairs. Lin Feifei pulls Zhou Shi upstairs to confront the noise, only for Zhou Shi to surprisingly find that the upstairs resident is the same boy from the bookstore. She asks him about the misdelivered package. He admits it was sent to his address but vaguely states it's "inside" and he forgot where he put it.
Upon entering the boy's apartment, Zhou Shi and Lin Feifei discover it to be a chaotic art studio filled with paintings. While searching for the underwear, Lin Feifei accidentally knocks over and breaks a ceramic paint bowl. Seeing his broken bowl, the boy suddenly sits on the floor and bursts into tears. Feeling terrible, Lin Feifei quickly pulls Zhou Shi away from the scene.
Back in their apartment, Lin Feifei feels immense guilt and decides to go immediately to buy a new bowl to compensate him, asking Zhou Shi to cover her bartending shift that evening. At the bar, Zhou Shi feels very uncomfortable in Lin Feifei's short skirt work uniform. Director Sheng introduces her to the staff as "Xixi."
Soon after, someone reports that Young Master Wei has arrived, prompting Director Sheng to immediately instruct the doorman to prevent any new guests from entering. Zhou Shi and the other servers form two lines at the bar entrance to greet the VIP. To her surprise, the VIP is Wei Qing. She tries to hide her face with her hand, fearing he might recognize her. However, Director Sheng specifically assigns her to serve in Wei Qing's private room.
Zhou Shi nervously enters to deliver drinks. As she turns to leave, Wei Qing calls her back. Zhou Shi assumes he has recognized her, but he simply reminds her that she forgot to take the tip. Outside the room, Zhou Shi opens the small box and finds a valuable necklace as her tip, causing her to dance with joy. Just then, she notices two unfamiliar, burly masked men approaching the private room, appearing to be plotting an assault.
Zhou Shi immediately follows them. Inside the private room, Wei Qing learns from Director Sheng that Zhou Shi's bar alias is "Xixi." Suddenly, Zhou Shi bursts in, grabbing Wei Qing and urging him to leave. The two masked strong men also storm in, driving out the other occupants. They declare they were hired to beat Wei Qing. Fearlessly, Wei Qing swiftly subdues both men, easily defeating them.
