Addicted Heroin Episode 1 Recap
> Addicted Heroin Recap
Bai Luoyin wakes up to find his underwear discarded in the sink and confronts his father, who dismissively suggests washing them. Annoyed, Bai Luoyin says he has to leave for school. Later, on the phone, Bai Luoyin tells his friend Yang Meng that his mother has remarried. Yang Meng is surprised, joking that he's never even seen Bai Luoyin's mother.
Bai Luoyin retorts that she stayed with them just last week, prompting his friend to comment on how surprisingly young she looks. Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhou informs Gu Hai that the wedding banquet for his father's remarriage is booked for the next day. Gu Hai refuses to attend, but Mrs. Zhou reminds him it's an order from his father, the General. Gu Hai defiantly tells her they'll have to tie him up and drag him there.
She tries to reason with him, noting his mother has been gone for a long time and his father, only in his forties, can't be expected to remain single. Gu Hai, however, blames his father for his mother's death and vows to resent him forever. Mrs. Zhou warns him that his mother's death was ruled an accident by forensic experts, but Gu Hai insists he has his own judgment.
In a conversation with a friend, Gu Hai reveals his father is remarrying. He confesses his reluctance to attend, suspecting his father and the woman were involved while his mother was still alive. His friend advises him to go to establish his dominance and prevent the new wife from causing trouble. At a family dinner, Gu Hai's new stepmother, who is also Bai Luoyin's mother, tries to engage the silent Gu Hai in conversation.
He curtly replies he has nothing to say, muttering to himself about his father's poor taste. She then suggests her own son, who is Gu Hai's age, could come live with them, hoping they would get along. Gu Hai immediately threatens to leave if her son moves in. She quickly reassures him that her son is attached to his own father and there was never any plan for him to live there.
Gu Hai remains adamant, stating he will leave regardless, and his father ends the tense discussion by telling everyone to eat. Bai Luoyin's mother enters his room and announces she has found a better, private high school for him, with plans to send him abroad after his college entrance exam. Bai Luoyin flatly refuses.
She pushes, arguing his current school has no future and points out that her new husband's son attends that very private school, asserting Bai Luoyin is in no way inferior. She pleads for a chance to make up for her past failings as a mother, but Bai Luoyin coldly tells her to leave him alone and never to mention her new family in front of him again.
On the first day of school, Gu Hai and Bai Luoyin find themselves in the same class, Class 27. Their new head teacher, Luo Xiaoyu, introduces herself. When another student is tasked with creating a seating chart, Gu Hai is asked for his name. Seeing his messy handwriting, Bai Luoyin, a top student known for his excellent calligraphy, arrogantly mocks him, telling him to "write like a human being." This incident sparks a conflict between them.
In retaliation, Gu Hai secretly tears the completed assignment out of Bai Luoyin’s notebook. Unaware, Bai Luoyin hands in the book, and Luo Xiaoyu furiously reprimands him for submitting a blank exercise. She refuses to listen to his explanation that someone tore out the page and, as punishment, orders him to stand outside during the next class to reflect. Furious and humiliated, Bai Luoyin vows to find the culprit and "skin them alive."
Later, while out with friends, Gu Hai is asked if he has met his new stepmother’s son. He says it's better if he doesn't. When his friend asks if he's worried the son might try to dominate him, Gu Hai scoffs, vowing that if they ever meet, he will be sure to put his new stepbrother in his place to assert his own status in the household.
