> Be Passionately in Love Recap
The teacher told Xu Zhi that with her grades, staying here to attend Qing University would be a bit of a waste. Also, Tan Xu didn't do well in the exam, and the teacher asked Xu Zhi to try to talk to him. Xu Zhi went to look for Tan Xu, but he wasn’t home. Xu Zhi sent Tan Xu a message, asking him to have a proper talk tomorrow.
As Xu Zhi passed by a roadside house, she heard a woman shouting inside. The voice sounded very much like her mother's, so she leaned in to listen. Chen Luzhou saw Xu Zhi from the window and asked her to add him on WeChat. He said if she liked listening to people getting scolded so much, he’d save her a seat next time. Xu Zhi saw Chen Luzhou’s school uniform and realized he was also from No. 1 High School.
Chen Luzhou’s mother told him not to date too early, and that if he really wanted a girlfriend, he should bring her home to meet them. She asked him to change clothes because Professor Jiang had written him a recommendation letter, and they should go thank him. Chen Luzhou said he had just spent the previous night playing video games with Chen Xingqi.
His mother asked him to move back home, but Chen Luzhou replied, “Aren’t we planning to go abroad? Then why move back? ” After Xu Zhi returned home, her father asked how she did on the exam. Xu Zhi said it went pretty well and that she wanted to attend Qing University. Her father reminded her they had agreed on going to Beijing. Xu Zhi said Qing University was also a good choice.
Chen Luzhou asked Zhu Yangqi what was going on. Zhu Yangqi said Gu Yan had fabricated a story about her romance with Chen Luzhou, and when netizens found out it was fake, she came to him asking for Chen Luzhou’s home address, wanting to turn the fake relationship into a real one. Zhu Yangqi promised not to do something like that again. Xu Zhi lent her four-leaf clover necklace to Tan Xu and wanted to get it back.
She went with Cai Yingying to find Tan Xu. Tan Xu asked Xu Zhi if she came to laugh at him. Xu Zhi said the test was indeed difficult this time—many didn’t do well. She heard that even a potential top scorer missed a subject. Zhu Yangqi and the others overheard and commented that it seemed Xu Zhi didn’t know the subject Chen Luzhou missed was an elective module, and yet she was using that to comfort her little boyfriend.
Tan Xu gave Xu Zhi a cold attitude, saying now that she was going to a top university and he had to repeat a year, he was of no use to her anymore. Xu Zhi asked for her necklace back. Tan Xu took it off and threw it downstairs. Xu Zhi and the others quickly ran downstairs to look for it but couldn’t find it. Cai Yingying suggested it might be in a tree.
Xu Zhi knocked on Chen Luzhou’s door and asked him for help. Chen Luzhou and Zhu Yangqi helped and found the necklace in the tree. Xu Zhi offered to treat them to a meal, and Cai Yingying joked that they all had boyfriends already. They went out to eat. Xu Zhi planned to get along better with Chen Luzhou and figure out a way to meet his mother. Chen Luzhou came over to save a seat.
A little boy played rock-paper-scissors with him, and both lost. Then the boy’s father came over. The boy claimed that Chen Luzhou had kicked him. Xu Zhi walked over and said, “Looks like my brother’s shoe soles are very clean—if he had kicked you, there’d be footprints. ” The boy was embarrassed. Chen Luzhou had been saving the seat for an elderly person. The boy’s father realized his son had lied and quickly apologized.
Xu Zhi sent the recording to Chen Luzhou, saying her father worked in a hospital and met all kinds of people, so she had learned to keep evidence in case something happened. Chen Luzhou’s mother called and told him to meet Professor Jiang the next day. Chen Luzhou didn’t care which school he ended up at. He had accidentally overheard a conversation between his grandmother and father.
His grandmother said he was always scheming since he was little and urged his father to send him away. His father said he was already making arrangements and that of course there was a difference between one’s biological child and one who wasn’t. Chen Luzhou came to their home at the age of six—he thought that even a pet dog or cat would have known to be grateful by now.
To him, no matter where he went, he would still be alone. Xu Zhi couldn’t buy roasted sweet potatoes, and she was worried her grandmother would throw a fit when she got home. Chen Luzhou said someone had given him a bag of sweet potatoes a few days ago and offered them to her. He asked if Xu Zhi wanted to roast them at his place. Xu Zhi asked if that was okay, saying her home didn’t have a microwave.
Chen Luzhou said she was making that up. Xu Zhi insisted it was true—that the old lady believed microwaves gave off radiation and firmly forbade them from using one. Xu Zhi asked if Chen Luzhou could cook. He said he sometimes made instant noodles. Xu Zhi asked if his mother cooked for him, and Chen Luzhou asked if she wanted to freeload meals. Xu Zhi wanted to add him on WeChat, but Chen Luzhou said his phone was out of battery. The next second, his phone rang.
