Across the Ocean to See You Episode 13 Recap
> Across the Ocean to See You Recap
Zheng Chu and Su Mang returned to the tourism department. Zheng Chu unhappily asked Su Mang why she wouldn't let him transfer to the marketing department. Su Mang countered by asking if he really wanted to go. Zheng Chu helplessly said this was the best way to resolve the rumors about them. Su Mang did not answer Zheng Chu's question, but instead asked Zheng Chu why he, who never avoided problems before, was doing so now. Zheng Chu couldn't answer.
Su Mang continued, saying that they were innocent and their relationship hadn't changed, so why did he choose to face things before but now he was avoiding them? Zheng Chu felt that it made sense after listening, but also felt something was off, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Su Mang knew that given the current situation, she had to consider how to handle it.
However, if handled improperly, it might backfire, and now Zheng Chu was also a factor in her considerations. Zheng Chu left work with his colleagues. Su Mang drove up and stopped in front of him, proactively asking Zheng Chu to get in the car to go home together. Zheng Chu looked embarrassed. Su Mang calmly said that they lived together anyway, so there was nothing wrong with going together. Zheng Chu had no choice but to get in the car.
The next day, Zheng Chu and Su Mang entered the office building at the same time. Su Mang deliberately pulled Zheng Chu to take a photo together in front of everyone. Su Mang smiled brightly, while Zheng Chu's smile was stiff. Su Mang posted the group photo in the tourism department's WeChat group.
While everyone was whispering, Su Mang openly walked up to everyone with Zheng Chu and told them that if they wanted to gossip in the future, they should use the high-definition photo she just posted, and not those blurry, dark candid shots from before. Su Mang's "fight fire with fire" approach surprisingly made the rumors dissipate on their own. Fei Yi came to deliver materials to Su Mang.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Tang Guoguo storm into Su Mang's office. Guoguo directly questioned Su Mang, saying she had only been back in the country for a few days and already had a child. Guoguo asked Su Mang if the child was Zheng Chu's. Su Mang replied that it wasn't, but Guoguo had no intention of letting it go, continuing to press Su Mang about whose child it was.
Su Mang's face turned grim as she stood up and discussed with Guoguo whether they could talk about the issue after work. Guoguo persisted, even pulling at Su Mang. Zheng Chu rushed back from outside and entered the office, scolding Guoguo. Su Mang looked very uncomfortable. Zheng Chu eagerly stepped forward to check on Su Mang, but Guoguo excitedly pulled at Zheng Chu. With all the pulling and pushing, Su Mang lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Zheng Chu panicked instantly, and when he turned around, he accidentally hit Guoguo. Guoguo cried and ran out of the office. Fei Yi told Zheng Chu to go check on Tang Guoguo, and to avoid suspicion, he took Su Mang to the hospital himself. Su Mang remained silent throughout the journey. Fei Yi looked at the taxi following closely behind his car and chuckled, saying the taxi behind them was following quite closely.
Su Mang heard him and looked back, realizing that Zheng Chu was sitting in the taxi. Her heart trembled, and she felt an indescribable feeling. Fei Yi dropped Su Mang off at the hospital. Su Mang politely declined Fei Yi's kindness, saying she didn't need him to accompany her. Seeing Zheng Chu approaching, Fei Yi tactfully left. However, Su Mang ignored Zheng Chu's presence, not even looking at him.
Zheng Chu had no choice but to follow closely behind Su Mang, accompanying her through various examination rooms in the obstetrics department. To teach Zheng Chu a lesson, Su Mang deliberately led him into the women's restroom. As a result, Zheng Chu was so preoccupied with watching Su Mang that he didn't even notice he had entered the women's restroom, almost being mistaken for a pervert.
Tang Ming called Yan Xiaoqiu, wanting to visit her under the pretense of prescribing medicine for her father. Xiaoqiu thought for a moment and said she would go pick it up herself. Tang Ming probed, asking Xiaoqiu if she planned to come after eating or before. However, Xiaoqiu saw through Tang Ming's desire to reconcile, and this alone made Xiaoqiu feel very content. She hung up without saying much more.
Tang Ming felt a pang of disappointment, hearing Xiaoqiu still call him "Doctor Tang." Su Mang smiled triumphantly in the restroom, watching Zheng Chu's awkwardness. Su Mang's necklace accidentally broke in the restroom, scattering beads all over the floor. Just as Su Mang was about to bend down to pick them up, Xiaoqiu, who had come to find Tang Ming for medicine, was right beside her.
Xiaoqiu, considerate of pregnant women who shouldn't bend over frequently, personally helped Su Mang pick up the necklace. She also told Su Mang that she was a jewelry designer and could fix the necklace for her. Su Mang felt an instant connection with Xiaoqiu, and the two walked out of the restroom chatting and laughing. They then encountered Zheng Chu waiting outside. All three were surprised to find that they knew each other.
Xiaoqiu told Su Mang about Zheng Chu lending her money for her father's surgery previously. Su Mang finally understood the truth behind her misunderstanding of Zheng Chu advancing his salary, realizing that was how it was. She unconsciously dropped her cold demeanor towards Zheng Chu, and the two reconciled. Xiaoqiu went to Tang Ming's office to get the medicine. Tang Ming introduced the usage and precautions for each medicine to Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu maintained a polite distance.
Just as she was about to leave, Tang Ming suddenly stood up and apologized for misunderstanding her that day. Xiaoqiu smiled and told Tang Ming that she had already forgotten about that day. After Xiaoqiu left, Tang Ming watched her retreating figure in silence for a long time. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted his thoughts. Guoguo's crying voice came through the phone, and Tang Ming then learned that Zheng Chu had actually hit Guoguo, which instantly enraged Tang Ming.
Tang Ming arranged to meet Zheng Chu at the boxing gym. Tang Ming had no choice but to let Su Mang go home first, while he himself hurried away, leaving Su Mang wondering where this mysterious guy was going. In the boxing gym, Zheng Chu was repeatedly knocked down by Tang Ming. Zheng Chu got up again and again, his face bruised.
The enraged Tang Ming wouldn't listen to Zheng Chu's explanation, but instead, full of fury, accused Zheng Chu, saying that he had never laid a finger on Guoguo since childhood, and Guoguo treated him better than she treated her own brother. How could he hurt Guoguo? Zheng Chu explained that it was because Guoguo had gone too far that day; she had pushed a pregnant woman, which was why he had struck her by mistake.
The two ultimately parted on bad terms. That evening, Zheng Chu appeared at Su Mang's doorstep with injuries on his face. Su Mang had already guessed that Tang Ming had arranged to fight him, but she hadn't expected him to hit so hard. Su Mang subconsciously reached out to touch Zheng Chu's wounds, her eyes filled with tenderness. Seeing Su Mang's gaze, Zheng Chu involuntarily fell for her. Zheng Chu gave Su Mang a kissing fish cushion.
Su Mang, puzzled, asked if kissing fish shouldn't come in a pair, and why he only bought one. Zheng Chu stammered that he didn't know and would get her another one next time. Su Mang pulled Zheng Chu to the computer to look at the nutritious recipes she had collected to provide the best nutrition and growth environment for the baby, totaling over a hundred dishes. Zheng Chu wondered, asking if she expected him to learn all of them.
Su Mang slapped the table and asked him if he would do it or not. Zheng Chu glumly agreed. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang if she wanted to hear the baby's sound. Su Mang, puzzled, asked how she could hear it. Zheng Chu mysteriously told Su Mang to wait, then ran home to retrieve the fetal heart monitor he had bought for Su Mang, telling her that this would be how she communicated with the baby from now on.
Su Mang listened curiously to the fetal heartbeat. A moment later, she exclaimed in surprise, "I hear it, I hear it!" and shared the moving heartbeat sound with Zheng Chu. As they listened, Zheng Chu inadvertently looked up, and their eyes suddenly met. The close distance made their heartbeats seem to synchronize into one. After being slapped by Zheng Chu, Guoguo had been sad and distraught.
That evening, attending Amy's charity gala, she completely messed up the press release Tony had given her, and when answering the host's questions, she was completely detached, her mind entirely focused on Zheng Chu hitting her. Her answers were completely irrelevant, almost leading to disaster. That evening, Tony accompanied Guoguo home and saw Su Chang waiting at her doorstep. Guoguo knew he must have found out about Su Mang's situation.
Guoguo told Tony to go home, wanting to talk to Su Chang alone. Su Chang, abandoning his usual playful smile, looked at Guoguo with extreme seriousness. Guoguo cried, complaining about Zheng Chu hitting her. After listening, Su Chang said nothing and prepared to leave. Guoguo pulled him, asking why he was leaving without a word. Su Chang told Guoguo that someone had already taught her a lesson, and he had nothing more to say.
As he left, Su Chang added that he couldn't control his feelings for Guoguo, but he only had one sister. If anyone wronged his sister, he could only wrong himself. With that, Su Chang slapped himself hard across the face and turned to leave, leaving Guoguo squatting on the ground, crying bitterly. The next day at work, Su Mang returned the three hundred yuan medical fee that Fei Yi had paid for her trip to the hospital.
Fei Yi countered by asking Su Mang if she also kept such clear accounts with Zheng Chu normally. Su Mang replied that Zheng Chu was one of her own, so of course, there was no need to be so clear about accounts. She simply knew whose money she could spend and whose money she couldn't. After Su Mang left, Fei Yi smiled meaningfully. Xiaoqiu came to find Su Mang and returned the repaired necklace to her.
Su Mang looked at the necklace, which was as good as new, feeling both surprised and delighted, and she admired and thanked Xiaoqiu even more. Su Mang invited Xiaoqiu to have a drink at the coffee shop next door. During their chat, Su Mang casually inquired about Zheng Chu to Xiaoqiu.
When Xiaoqiu looked at her suspiciously, Su Mang quickly covered up, saying she just wanted to know more about her employees from a superior's perspective, as she had many big projects to entrust to Zheng Chu in the future. Xiaoqiu told Su Mang that she could rest assured, Zheng Chu was definitely a responsible, caring, and kind employee. Su Mang couldn't help but smile when she heard Xiaoqiu give Zheng Chu such high praise.
Ever since their farewell at home, Su Chang truly never came to see Guoguo again. Guoguo had no choice but to disguise herself and come to the magic theater, but unexpectedly, Su Chang didn't appear on stage even after the performance ended. When all the guests had dispersed, Guoguo insisted on going upstairs but was stopped by the theater staff. Guoguo started to make a scene, and only then did Su Chang appear.
It turned out he had been backstage all along, silently cleaning his magic props. While wiping his props, Su Chang told Guoguo that his parents hadn't supported his magic from a young age, and it was his sister who finally persuaded their parents. Although Su Mang didn't support him either, ever since their parents passed away, she had worked six jobs to support herself. This magic theater was also opened with Su Mang's help.
Guoguo quietly listened as Su Chang spoke about his past with Su Mang. She gradually understood why Su Chang was so angry with her. In Su Chang's heart, Su Mang was his sister, and even more, she was the person in this world he would protect with his life from the slightest harm. That evening at Su Mang's house, Zheng Chu and Su Mang were sitting on the sofa.
Zheng Chu was browsing a tablet with one hand, while the other was held by Su Mang. Su Mang declared that she would tell Zheng Chu about his past and present lives. Zheng Chu initially thought Su Mang was just trying to be mysterious, but he was surprised to find that some things she said about his past few years were actually correct. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu if he had any other girlfriends besides Chen Shanshan.
Zheng Chu swore to heaven that he had no other girlfriends. Su Mang rolled her eyes and asked, "What about Xiaoqiu's sister?" Only then did Zheng Chu realize that Su Mang had gotten all her information from Xiaoqiu. Zheng Chu, with a smiling face, told Su Mang that Xiaoqiu's sister was Shanshan. Su Mang was startled. Zheng Chu reminded Su Mang not to discuss their sisterly relationship in front of Xiaoqiu next time they met.
Su Mang nodded, saying she wasn't foolish. Zheng Chu chuckled, "Hmph, pregnancy makes you silly for three years." On the weekend, Zheng Chu bought groceries and was about to return home to cook for Su Mang when he saw Su Mang busying herself around the house. Many snacks that hadn't expired yet were thrown into the hallway by Su Mang. Zheng Chu entered the house and saw, "Goodness, what a major rearrangement!" Even a countdown sign was hung up.
Zheng Chu, both amused and curious, helped Su Mang arrange the things she had bought. Suddenly, his phone rang. It turned out Tang Ming had invited him to the boxing gym again. Zheng Chu had no choice but to leave first. With Zheng Chu gone, Su Mang felt a bit uneasy, and she decided to secretly follow him.
