> All I Want for Love Is You Recap
During a blood collection, Xiaoman was visibly nervous, but Zuo An remained by her side, offering comforting words. Other students, witnessing their closeness, couldn't help but tease them, remarking on their evident affection. Anning observed this scene, and her emotions boiled over. Upon returning home, she erupted in a fit of anger. Concerned for his daughter, Uncle Sun called Zuo An, hoping he could calm Anning. However, Zuo An's presence only seemed to escalate Anning's distress.
Anning lashed out at Zuo An, pouring out her heart and confessing her deep love for him, pleading with him to leave Xiaoman. Zuo An, however, gently but firmly refused her request. Anning's mother, Lv Huijun, hearing the commotion, entered the room and reprimanded Zuo An, accusing him of having already caused the death of one daughter, Anxin, and warning him not to inflict further harm on Anning.
At that moment, Zuo An's gaze fell upon a photo of Anning's sister, Anxin, on the floor, which visibly disturbed him. Overwhelmed, he abruptly left. Anning, attempting to follow Zuo An, stumbled and fell. Concerned onlookers quickly transported Anning to the hospital. Afterward, Uncle Sun expressed regret for having asked Zuo An to comfort Anning. Seeing her daughter's distress, Lv Huijun immediately contacted Zuo An's mother, Zhou Jin, urging her to intervene in Zuo An's affairs.
Following his conversation with Anning, Zuo An struggled with unresolved emotions, frequently experiencing nightmares. Xiaoman noticed his unusual state and inquired about it, but Zuo An remained evasive. Still worried about him and observing his recent low spirits, Xiaoman decided to cheer him up by preparing a surprise meal. She planned to buy groceries and cook for him personally. As Xiaoman arrived at Zuo An's building, laden with ingredients, she saw a dog charging towards a woman.
Xiaoman courageously intervened, shooing the dog away, only to discover that the woman was Zuo An's mother, Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin thanked Xiaoman for her kindness. She was also on her way to see Zuo An but received a phone call and had to leave. Xiaoman then went upstairs and began preparing the meal for Zuo An. Zuo An, unable to resist, affectionately kissed Xiaoman. She insisted on cooking alone, playfully shooing him out of the kitchen.
However, Xiaoman, being an inexperienced cook, faced challenges, and their grand dinner plan didn't quite materialize. They ended up sharing instant noodles, yet they found simple happiness in each other's company. As they finished eating, in the quiet intimacy of Zuo An's apartment, Zuo An leaned in to kiss Xiaoman. Just as their lips were about to meet, the doorbell suddenly rang. Xiaoman went to open the door, only to find Zhou Jin, Zuo An's mother, standing there.
Zhou Jin's expression immediately hardened upon seeing Zuo An and Xiaoman together. She subsequently took them to a tea house. Zhou Jin attempted to speak with Xiaoman privately, asking Zuo An to leave. However, Zuo An refused, explicitly stating that he and Xiaoman were inseparable and that anything she had to say could be said in front of both of them. Enraged by his defiance, Zhou Jin unequivocally declared her disapproval of their relationship, demanding that they break up immediately.
Xiaoman tried to salvage the situation, promising to work harder to prove herself worthy of Zuo An. However, Zhou Jin dismissed her efforts, firmly stating that no matter what Xiaoman did, she would never accept their relationship. Zuo An led Xiaoman away from the tea house. Afterward, Xiaoman comforted Zuo An, encouraging him to have another conversation with his mother, expressing her wish for their relationship to receive everyone's blessing. Zuo An agreed.
Later, Zuo An returned home and found his mother on the phone with his father. He overheard Zhou Jin expressing her belief that the Zuo family owed the Sun family and that they should fulfill any requests from the Suns. His father, Zuo Qiming, wisely suggested that Zuo An should be allowed to make his own decisions regarding his personal life. Zhou Jin, however, disagreed, insisting that she would handle the situation. Disturbed by the conversation, Zuo An quietly left.
The next day, before class, their roommate Lina informed Xiaoman and Zuo An that their neurology professor had been replaced. Zuo An immediately suggested they skip class, but Xiaoman was reluctant. She worried that skipping class, especially if his mother found out, would only further solidify her disapproval of their relationship. Despite Zuo An's attempts to convince her, Xiaoman insisted they attend class. Once in the classroom, Xiaoman realized that the new professor was none other than Zhou Jin.
Zuo An's earlier reluctance to attend class had been rooted in his fear that his mother would intentionally make things difficult for Xiaoman. His fears proved true as Zhou Jin deliberately challenged Xiaoman, asking her to recite the twelve pairs of cranial nerves in front of the entire class. When Xiaoman struggled, Zhou Jin publicly mocked her.
Unable to tolerate his mother's behavior, Zuo An stood up, declared that he would not attend her classes until she understood her misconduct, and then pulled Xiaoman out of the lecture hall. Outside, Zuo An told his mother he wouldn't return to her class until she acknowledged her wrongful behavior of intentionally humiliating a student. Xiaoman, however, tried to comfort Zuo An, blaming herself for not studying harder.
Secretly, she resolved to dedicate herself to her studies to change Zhou Jin's perception of her. To lift Zuo An's spirits, Xiaoman agreed to go on a date with him. They enjoyed a romantic time by the sea. During their date, Shen Chenyang approached Xiaoman, probing her about the pressure she faced from Zuo An's mother.
Xiaoman dismissed his concerns, advising him to focus on Lin Nana, and firmly told him to stop contacting her as she had no intention of having any further association with him. Later, Xiaoman turned to Zuo An, admitting she felt far from her dream of becoming a good doctor and asked him to tutor her in neurology. Zuo An playfully resisted but eventually agreed, especially after Xiaoman promised to use her scholarship money as tuition.
