About Is Love Episode 4 Recap
> About Is Love Recap
Following the altercation at the bar, Zhou Shi, driven by a strong sense of justice, intervened when two thugs attacked Wei Qing. She was hit by a chair and fell onto Wei Qing, but his assistant arrived promptly, apprehended the assailants, and rushed them both to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctor informed Zhou Shi that she only had a grazed arm and a sprained ankle.
Despite this, Wei Qing insisted she undergo a full body check-up and be admitted to a sterile ward. He questioned her motives for getting involved, asking what she stood to gain. Zhou Shi explained she simply did what she felt was right. Wei Qing offered her cash and then a bank transfer as compensation, both of which Zhou Shi adamantly refused, stating her body was "priceless." Wei Qing then challenged her to name a short-term wish he could grant.
After initially suggesting postgraduate studies, which was too long-term, Zhou Shi settled on passing her Art Theory exams. Wei Qing implicitly agreed, telling her to "shut up and wait." The next day, Zhou Shi, exhausted from the previous night, fell asleep at her desk before class began. Unbeknownst to her, Wei Qing was the guest lecturer. During the Q&A segment, Zhou Shi woke up and stretched, a motion the host mistook for raising her hand.
Confused, Zhou Shi stood up and, misreading a note passed to her by her classmate Zhang Shuai, blurted out, "What's for lunch?" , causing the entire hall to erupt in laughter. Following the lecture, Principal Yan summoned Zhou Shi to his office and ordered her to apologize to Wei Qing.
It was then that Zhou Shi learned of the Wei family's prestigious reputation, Wei Qing's father Wei Heng's accomplishments in oil painting, and Wei Qing's own PhD from the Royal College of Art. Dismissing the principal, Wei Qing spoke with Zhou Shi alone, stating he was there to "repay her favor." He confirmed he would help her pass her exams, having already noted her low grades in Art History and Introduction to Art.
In return, he demanded she create the presentation for his speech the next morning, threatening to reveal her part-time job at the bar to Principal Yan if she refused. Reluctantly, Zhou Shi agreed and rushed to the library. As Zhou Shi left, she received a frantic call from Lin Feifei's boyfriend, Gao Yang, who complained that Feifei was obsessively buying countless bowls and had maxed out his credit card, prompting him to abandon her.
Later, their roommate explained the situation to Zhou Shi: Feifei had gotten into a stubborn rivalry with the boy upstairs. After Feifei broke one of his bowls, she bought a replacement, but he smashed it in front of her. When she offered to pay, he shut the door. After she continued to pester him, he demanded an identical replacement, threatening to call the police.
In a fit of pride, Feifei refused his money and vowed to find a perfect replica, returning all the bowls she had bought and purchasing the most expensive one she could find. Annoyed by the boy's pettiness, Zhou Shi decided to confront him. She saw him entering the library and followed. The boy, a fellow Fine Arts student who claimed his talent exempted him from classes, noticed her.
Zhou Shi apologized on Feifei's behalf, but the boy remained silent and walked away dejectedly. Zhou Shi then received a call from Wei Qing, instructing her to meet him at the bar that evening with her laptop to work on the presentation. Meanwhile, at the Yun Ma Group office, Wei Qing was dissatisfied with the new product designs. His designer suggested a collaboration with Xun Ran, a renowned yet reclusive artist.
The designer revealed that He Yun, a director at the company and Wei Qing's mother, had already acquired Xun Ran's domestic brokerage rights. Surprised and irritated that he had to learn of his mother's return from others, Wei Qing ordered his team to prepare a collaboration proposal. Complaining that his mother always favored the "stray cat" over him, he canceled his afternoon meeting to clear his head. That evening, Lin Feifei intercepted the boy, Ning Fei, in the hallway.
She offered him the 107th bowl she had bought, explaining it was the best she could find and that the issue had caused a fight with her boyfriend. Ning Fei, however, simply told her she didn't need to compensate him and confirmed he hadn't called the police. Wei Qing arrived at the bar early to meet Zhou Shi. They briefly sang karaoke together before discussing art.
Zhou Shi argued that the creator's thoughts and self are the best work of art, while Wei Qing countered that art is a business where popularity is paramount. When Zhou Shi admitted to being a five-year "hardcore fan" of Xun Ran, Wei Qing was dismissive. Zhou Shi passionately defended Xun Ran, describing his art as a reflection of someone who is gloomy yet innocent, shrewd yet perceptive, crazy yet strict—a combination of a child, an adult, and a devil.
This description stirred a memory in Wei Qing: his childhood art teacher praising a young Ning Fei's drawing as a "masterpiece" while calling his own a mere "fine work." The realization struck Wei Qing: Ning Fei, the boy living upstairs from Zhou Shi, was Xun Ran. In a sudden motion, he pushed Zhou Shi onto the sofa and asked her to read his face.
Startled, she reminded him they were there to work, and Wei Qing declared "game over" before they resumed the task. The next day, both Wei Qing and Zhou Shi had coughing fits during his lecture. Later, Lin Feifei recounted her frustration that Ning Fei wouldn't even look at her when she apologized, jokingly asking if he expected her to "restore" the broken bowl.
This sparked an idea for Zhou Shi: since finding a replacement was impossible, she could use her skills from her pottery minor to repair it. As they spoke, water began leaking from the ceiling. They hurried upstairs to Ning Fei's apartment and, getting no response, Zhou Shi climbed through the window. They were horrified to find Ning Fei unconscious in a bathtub filled with what looked like blood.
Zhou Shi stopped a panicking Lin Feifei from calling for help, realizing the red liquid was only paint. A doctor soon arrived and explained that Ning Fei's collapse was likely due to severe malnutrition from not eating for at least three days, and he may have hit his head when he fell. Lin Feifei went to the hospital with Ning Fei, while Zhou Shi stayed to clean his apartment.
As she cleaned, she noticed his painting style was remarkably similar to Xun Ran's, making her wonder if he was the artist himself. That night, Wei Qing's assistant reported that Xun Ran, whose real name was Ning Fei, had returned to the country two weeks prior. He was studying at Guanghua Vision University and living in his late father's studio, an arrangement made by Wei Qing's mother, He Yun.
The assistant added that Ning Fei had just been hospitalized after being found unconscious by a neighbor, and He Yun was on her way there. At the hospital, He Yun immediately arranged a VIP ward for Ning Fei. Heartbroken to see him unconscious, she listened as Lin Feifei explained the doctor's diagnosis and confessed to breaking the bowl. He Yun, showing no anger, explained the bowl was a treasured relic from Ning Fei's father, a late master potter.
The Ning and Wei families were old friends, and the "Blessing Bowl" was one of a pair made for Ning Fei; the other was lost. Lin Feifei later relayed this significant information to Zhou Shi.
