About Is Love Episode 8 Recap
> About Is Love Recap
Students at Kwang Hua University gossiped about Zhou Shi's recent absence, speculating that she was suspended due to the scandal surrounding her massive debt to a ruthless creditor. Overhearing Lin Feifei and Bi Qiu Jing worry that Zhou Shi would be "squeezed dry," Ning Fei approached Bi Qiu Jing and asked for a favor. Meanwhile, Wei Qing allowed Zhou Shi two days of rest.
He then learned from Assistant An that Xue Zi had rejected Yun Ma's new design, seemingly dissatisfied with their provided designers. When Assistant An hinted that Xue Zi had a specific designer in mind—one not from the jewelry world—Wei Qing immediately deduced it was Xun Ran. Annoyed by Xun Ran's pervasive influence, Wei Qing decided to contact him directly.
He found Xun Ran at Kwang Hua University and sarcastically greeted him, accusing him of being a parasite constantly relying on others, especially women. Wei Qing suggested he abandon his current "host" to work for him, offering to pay for his paintings, but Xun Ran expressed disgust at the idea. Wei Qing then warned that since Xun Ran had signed with Yun Ma, he must comply with company arrangements.
He threatened to use his resources to expose Xun Ran’s hidden past and dark history, which his mother had worked to conceal, ensuring he would become a viral sensation if he refused to cooperate. Wei Qing then told Xun Ran that Assistant An would follow up with the specifics. Later, Zhou Shi, suffering from a high fever, called Lin Feifei for help. Feifei arranged for her boyfriend, Gao Yang, to deliver medicine.
Upon entering Zhou Shi’s home, Gao Yang made unwanted advances, pinning her to the sofa. He insinuated that Zhou Shi was playing innocent despite her public association with Wei Qing and suggested she extend her openness to him, even offering to dump Lin Feifei for her. Zhou Shi warned him to stop, threatening to call the police and invoking Wei Qing's name as a deterrent. Just as Gao Yang became more aggressive, Lin Feifei unexpectedly returned home.
Gao Yang immediately attempted to shift blame, claiming Zhou Shi had faked her illness to seduce him. Lin Feifei, however, did not believe him and angrily struck him with an object. That night, Ning Fei checked on Zhou Shi, who was wrapped in a blanket to induce sweating. Zhou Shi confided that inexplicable events had led to a massive, life-altering debt.
Ning Fei, intuiting Wei Qing's involvement, warned her to be careful, implying Wei Qing might be manipulating her, and urged her to reflect on the true cause of her debt. The following day, prompted by Ning Fei's words, Zhou Shi visited an exhibition. She was stunned to find the "broken" artifacts Wei Qing had sent her pictures of, now perfectly intact and on display.
After confirming with the staff that the items were authentic and had never been damaged, she stormed to Yun Ma to confront Wei Qing. Bursting into his office, Zhou Shi demanded to know why the artifacts were now on display, accusing him of fraud. Wei Qing unapologetically admitted his trickery, claiming he never stated the vases were real and that she had panicked herself into the situation. Zhou Shi, infuriated, demanded an apology.
Wei Qing refused, brazenly stating he would have found other means to keep her by his side because she was too important to him, and promised to compensate her. Disgusted, Zhou Shi condemned his arrogance, asserted her independence, and confessed she had someone she liked, rejecting any nominal relationship with him. Unfazed, Wei Qing seized the opportunity, declaring their previous agreement void and announcing she was now his "real girlfriend."
Zhou Shi, reiterating her disinterest and threatening to call the police if he continued to harass her, stormed out. After Zhou Shi's departure, Wei Qing instructed Assistant An to stop having the car follow her and to cease all media reporting on their alleged scandal. When Assistant An questioned if this meant he was giving up, Wei Qing's reply made it clear he had no intention of letting her go.
That evening, Lin Feifei decided to sell the bag Gao Yang had given her on a second-hand luxury website. Meanwhile, Zhou Shi was packing numerous Hermes bags into cardboard boxes to return them to Wei Qing, denying any real relationship despite the gossip and expensive gifts. Shortly after the courier collected the boxes, Zhou Shi received a call informing her that she could resume classes, and she was overjoyed.
The next day, Zhou Shi returned to class in her usual casual attire and immediately became the subject of her classmates' gossip. They speculated she had been dumped by Wei Qing, calling her one of his "month-long girlfriends." Their mockery was interrupted when Zhang Shuai dramatically stumbled into the classroom, drawing all attention. After class, Zhou Shi thanked him for diverting the attention, but Zhang Shuai denied intentionally helping her. She then confronted him about his recent coldness.
Zhang Shuai asked if she had truly stopped being Wei Qing's "kept woman." Annoyed, Zhou Shi told him to believe whatever he wished and walked away, leaving Zhang Shuai to wonder if he had misjudged her. Later, Li Ming Cheng, struggling to beat Bi Qiu Jing's speed in a computer chess game, discovered her identity as a third-year chemistry student.
Classmates recounted that Bi Qiu Jing was a genius who had gained admission to the university despite accidentally leaving one exam blank after falling asleep. It was also revealed that she had rejected an invitation to the Astronomy Club, deeming it unworthy. Zhou Shi then approached Li Ming Cheng, who asked for advice on how to add the mysterious chess player as a friend.
Noticing he had been blocked, Zhou Shi suggested he send a mind-challenging message to attract the intelligent girl's interest. Zhou Shi returned home and confided in Bi Qiu Jing her worry that Li Ming Cheng and the female chess player might develop feelings for each other. Just then, Bi Qiu Jing received another friend request from Li Ming Cheng, embedded within a complex mathematical problem.
As she instinctively began to solve it, Zhou Shi stopped her, realizing that replying would grant him access. Simultaneously, a deluge of courier packages—the items Zhou Shi had just sent back—arrived at their door, along with an overwhelming amount of fresh flowers. Exasperated, Zhou Shi called Wei Qing, demanding he remove the unwanted items, but he calmly asserted his right to send gifts to his "girlfriend."
Zhou Shi condemned his "boring displays of wealth" and hung up, vowing to return everything again. The next morning, Zhou Shi loaded the flowers onto a tricycle to return them. Wei Qing soon caught up to her in his car, questioning why she was wasting his "feelings." Zhou Shi retorted that feelings only count if accepted. As she challenged him to return the flowers himself, Wei Qing exited his car and stared intently at her, complimenting her beauty.
In her flustered state, Zhou Shi accidentally tumbled backward into the tricycle cart. Just then, city management officers appeared, prompting Wei Qing to swiftly hop onto the tricycle and pedal away with Zhou Shi still in the cart, confidently proclaiming that there was nothing he couldn't do. Later, Lin Feifei mused aloud why she couldn't forget Gao Yang.
Ning Fei presented her with a drawing of a crying rabbit, explaining that, like a cunning rabbit that has lost its safe burrows, she was not crying for the loss of a great love, but for the loss of the sense of security Gao Yang had provided. Feifei had an epiphany, finally understanding the true source of her sadness.
