> Arsenal Military Academy Recap
Shen Tingbai publicly stands up for Qu Manting; Gu Yanzhen learns from Shen Junshan to please Xie Xiang Qu Manting came to Yuan Pingting to demand an explanation. Yuan Pingting was not to be outdone and even mocked her, condemning her for stealing the fiancé of Dong Huiseng's daughter, which angered Dong Huiseng. Boss Duan was forced to terminate his contract with Qu Manting under pressure. The two of them argued fiercely, immediately attracting many onlookers.
Reporters quickly gathered to take photos. Yuan Pingting became impatient and vented her anger on Xiao Tao. Qu Manting couldn't stand it and severely reprimanded Yuan Pingting. Yuan Pingting kept claiming that she was just having fun at their expense. Shen Tingbai arrived in time to rescue Qu Manting, sternly reprimanding Yuan Pingting. Manager Huang quickly came to mediate.
Shen Tingbai learned that Yuan Pingting was the actress replacing Qu Manting for the performance at Parimo, and he publicly announced that he did not want to see Yuan Pingting at Parimo. Shen Tingbai took Qu Manting away. Qu Manting did not want to see Xiao Tao suffer grievances, so she wanted to take him with her. Shen Tingbai asked Manager Huang to arrange a job for Xiao Tao. Along the way, Qu Manting kept criticizing Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao, however, felt that she caused more trouble. Yuan Pingting was easy to deal with. Shen Tingbai couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Tao's words. He showed concern for Qu Manting, and her heart felt warm. Huo Xiaoyu drank alone, feeling depressed, and couldn't help but recall the happy days she spent with Pei Nianqing back then. Huo Xiaoyu drove out and quickly found Guo Shuting drunk by the roadside.
Guo Shuting claimed that in a daze, he had seen Pei Nianqing. Huo Xiaoyu could only speak kindly to him and advise him to sit properly in the seat. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Xie Xiang recovered from her injuries and was discharged from the hospital. Huang Song and Tan Xiaojun came to pick her up.
Just as they arrived at the hospital entrance, Oda Hiroshi drove up to pick up Xie Xiang, claiming that Shen Junshan had injured his hand and it was inconvenient for him. Xie Xiang, Huang Song, and Tan Xiaojun had no choice but to get in the car. Oda Hiroshi inquired in detail about Xie Xiang's sister's situation. Xie Xiang teased Oda Hiroshi, asking if she liked her. Oda Hiroshi was speechless.
When Gu Yanzhen drove to pick up Xie Xiang, he learned that she had already been discharged and left. Oda Hiroshi dropped the three of them off at the military academy. The more Xie Xiang thought about it, the more something felt off. She snatched the bicycle from Ji Jin's hand and went to chase Oda Hiroshi. After discovering that she had entered the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Xie Xiang returned to the military academy.
Shen Tingbai and Shen Junshan played tennis together. Shen Junshan was soundly defeated, but he was not convinced. Shen Tingbai asked Shen Junshan to attend Cheng Rui Beile's mother's birthday banquet on his behalf, as he did not want to get too close to the Prince Rong's Mansion. Gu Yanzhen returned to the military academy and found that his bed had been taken by Li Wenzhong. He couldn't help but complain to Xie Xiang.
Xie Xiang didn't say anything, only focusing on tidying up the scattered items on the ground. Gu Yanzhen relentlessly pressed Xie Xiang, asking if she was seeing Shen Junshan. Xie Xiang ignored him and hid in the bathroom. Gu Yanzhen kept listing Shen Junshan's shortcomings, complaining that Xie Xiang was blind, and forbidding Xie Xiang from flirting with Shen Junshan. Just then, Shen Junshan came to find Xie Xiang to talk.
Gu Yanzhen desperately tried to stop them, but Xie Xiang still went to see Shen Junshan. Shen Junshan and Xie Xiang discussed sending Ling Dang to the orphanage. They agreed to go to Tan Xiaojun's house in the afternoon to pick her up. Shen Junshan casually asked about the meaning of what Gu Yanzhen had said. Xie Xiang used the excuse that Gu Yanzhen was talking nonsense to brush him off.
Xie Xiang and Shen Junshan took Ling Dang to the orphanage. Looking at the silent Ling Dang, Xie Xiang was filled with emotion, hoping that there would be no suffering in her world. Shen Junshan and Xie Xiang returned to the military academy. Oda Hiroshi was waiting for Shen Junshan at the entrance. Seeing this, Xie Xiang quickly returned to the dormitory.
Oda Hiroshi falsely claimed to be doing business with the Prince Rong's Mansion and asked Shen Junshan about the situation there. Shen Junshan unintentionally mentioned that he would be attending the Grand Princess Consort's birthday banquet, and only then did Oda Hiroshi leave with satisfaction. Xie Xiang waited for Shen Junshan to return and casually asked him about Oda Hiroshi's situation, thinking they were a couple.
Shen Junshan vehemently denied it, and only then did Xie Xiang feel a little relieved. Gu Yanzhen constantly watched every move of Xie Xiang and Shen Junshan from the second-floor balcony. When he saw Xie Xiang go into the room, he quickly sat on the bed and pretended to read a book, but Xie Xiang exposed him directly. Gu Yanzhen accused Xie Xiang of being too frivolous and that she shouldn't go out alone with a grown man.
Xie Xiang warned him not to speak nonsense and hid in the bathroom to wash clothes. Gu Yanzhen was very annoyed, claiming that he had many girlfriends, all ten or a hundred times better than Xie Xiang. Gu Yanzhen petulantly said he was leaving, but Xie Xiang forcefully chased him out. Gu Yanzhen sat on the bed, sulking in anger. Gu Yanzhen went to the Shannan Tavern to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
He asked Xiao Liu to play some sad songs about heartbreak for him. Xiao Liu was very awkward, so Gu Yanzhen went on stage himself to sing. His singing was terrible. Xiao Liu quickly asked him to come down and spoke kindly to him. Gu Yanzhen then poured out his pain of heartbreak to him. Xiao Liu accompanied him for drinks to cheer him up and advised him to cater to her preferences, which opened Gu Yanzhen's mind.
Xie Xiang and Huang Song returned to the dormitory and found that Gu Yanzhen was acting unusually, becoming cold, indifferent, and humorless. Both Xie Xiang and Huang Song were very confused. In the following days, Gu Yanzhen followed Shen Junshan everywhere, learning from him. Whether it was training or eating, he stayed close to Shen Junshan, which led to many jokes. But Gu Yanzhen was still enjoying it.
Gu Yanzhen ate tomatoes with Shen Junshan, completely forgetting that he was allergic to tomatoes. Many red rashes quickly appeared on his face, and Xie Xiang cursed him, saying he deserved it. Xie Xiang returned to the dormitory and couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Gu Yanzhen's miserable appearance. She advised him to be more well-behaved in the future and stop messing around.
Gu Yanzhen pushed all the blame onto her, forbidding her from flirting with Shen Junshan anymore. Xie Xiang tried her best to explain that there was nothing going on between her and Shen Junshan, but Gu Yanzhen didn't believe her at all. He also pouted and asked Xie Xiang to find him something to eat. Xie Xiang had no choice but to comply. Oda Hiroshi arranged everything, planning to steal the golden seal during the birthday banquet.
She sent her subordinate Fujiwara to find a way to prevent Shen Junshan from attending the birthday banquet at the Prince Rong's Mansion, as she did not want to reveal her identity in front of him.
