> All I Want for Love Is You Recap
Zuo An arrived at Xiaoman’s home to tutor her. Xiaoman was visibly nervous, having spent the morning tidying her room in anticipation. When Zuo An appeared, her face flushed crimson, leaving Zuo An puzzled. Xiaoman quickly explained that she had just been out running and was feeling hot, making it seem like she was out of breath. As Xiaoman went to fetch water for Zuo An, he took the opportunity to look around her room.
Upon her return, Xiaoman noticed that Zuo An’s face was also red. He awkwardly tried to explain that her room was indeed warm, attempting to hide his own flustered feelings. During the tutoring session, Xiaoman asked Zuo An why he was helping her. He simply replied that they were friends and that her father had asked him for help. Xiaoman accepted this explanation. As they started with English, Xiaoman struggled with the exercises, feeling too "stupid" to attempt them.
Zuo An gently reassured her, explaining that her issue wasn't a lack of intelligence but rather habitual nervousness that prevented her from concentrating. He encouraged her to imagine the problem as an opponent in a Sanda match, a sport in which she was a champion, to help her focus. With his guidance, Xiaoman calmed down and, to her surprise, successfully solved a difficult physics problem. Overjoyed, she leaped up in excitement, accidentally knocking Zuo An over with her fist.
She immediately apologized profusely, helping him back up. Spending more time together in this way deepened their relationship. Following Zuo An’s tutoring, Xiaoman's physics results showed remarkable improvement, scoring 112 points. Her teachers and classmates were quite surprised, some even suspecting she had cheated. To prove herself, Xiaoman confidently went to the blackboard and solved a challenging problem the physics teacher wrote down. Her perfect solution convinced everyone, earning her widespread praise and applause.
Overcome with emotion, Xiaoman cried tears of joy. Meanwhile, Zhan Yue, whose grades remained poor, confronted Xiaoman, accusing her of betraying their shared experience of failing exams. Another classmate intervened, telling Zhan Yue that if he truly considered Xiaoman a friend, he should be happy for her instead of blaming her. Later that day, Zhan Yue excitedly rushed into the classroom, announcing that Zuo An had failed his Scholastic Assessment Test and would not be going to the United States.
Initially, everyone was skeptical, given Zuo An's academic prowess. However, Zuo An confirmed the news, stating that he had indeed not performed well on the test and would not be going. This revelation was actually a deliberate act on his part. Concerned about Zuo An's mood, Xiaoman invited him to a dessert shop. She tried to comfort him, ordering several sweets, but Zuo An playfully teased her, pretending to be sad.
Xiaoman affectionately offered him dessert, hoping to cheer him up. Zuo An then admitted to Xiaoman that he had intentionally failed the exam because he did not want to go to the United States. Xiaoman pressed him for his reasons, but Zuo An remained evasive, saying only that he didn't have to go. Despite his reluctance to elaborate, Xiaoman was still happy, cherishing the thought of him remaining nearby.
After leaving the dessert shop, Zuo An continued tutoring Xiaoman at her home. Suddenly, Zhan Yue appeared at the window, inviting Xiaoman to play. Panicked that Zuo An would be discovered, Xiaoman quickly ushered him into the bathroom to hide. Zhan Yue sensed something was amiss and searched her room, but found nothing. Zhan Yue only found a pile of study materials on Xiaoman’s desk, which greatly surprised him, considering her sudden diligence.
Xiaoman seized the opportunity to encourage Zhan Yue to study harder before sending him away. When she returned to look for Zuo An, he was gone. Fearing he might be upset about being hidden, Xiaoman went out to find him. She found him playing basketball, a sport she hadn't known he enjoyed, thinking he only liked swimming.
Zuo An explained he wasn't particularly fond of basketball but was motivated to play because he had lost to Zhan Yue in a previous game and wanted to win next time. Xiaoman offered to join him, admitting she wasn't good at it but that two players were better than one. Zuo An teased her for her awkwardness, but Xiaoman, undeterred, tried to shoot the ball, accidentally hitting him on the head.
