Beautiful Time With You Episode 12 Recap
> Beautiful Time With You Recap
Lin Xingchen and Luo Qinge had planned to visit their chicks at Zhang Haotian's warehouse. Since Lin Xingchen had school duty, Zhang Haotian decided to play basketball and arranged to meet them there at 8 PM. Meanwhile, the small-time thugs, already in ambush inside the warehouse, were growing restless. As darkness fell and 8 PM approached with no sign of Zhang Haotian, they sent one of their members to Yiling High School to gather information.
The thug at the school encountered Lu Yibai, who was still there after a physics make-up class. He delivered a blunt message, warning that "Brother Liang" was waiting for Zhang Haotian at their usual spot—the warehouse—and threatened to destroy all of Zhang Haotian's treasured bike repair tools if he failed to appear. Realizing the gravity of the situation and the danger at the warehouse, Lu Yibai quickly pulled Chen Yimu, who had just approached him, and rushed towards the location.
Unaware of the lurking danger, Lin Xingchen and Luo Qinge arrived at the warehouse door. Seeing that Zhang Haotian hadn't arrived, they decided to go inside, using their key. The moment they stepped in, the thugs seized them. Shortly after, Zhang Haotian, Lu Yibai, and Chen Yimu arrived. Upon witnessing the scene, a chaotic fight broke out. Lu Yibai shielded the two girls, but Zhang Haotian was ambushed from behind and struck on the back of his head.
Following the brawl, the five students took Zhang Haotian to the emergency room. Zhang Haotian insisted his injury was minor. However, the attending doctor was suddenly called away for an urgent heart attack surgery. He quickly left a topical medicine and instructed Lu Yibai to apply it to Zhang Haotian. As the group prepared to leave the hospital, they almost ran into the school Director.
Thinking on his feet, Chen Yimu quickly stepped forward to intercept him, claiming he was at the hospital to pick up sleeping pills because he couldn't sleep. The Director, however, was immediately suspicious upon noticing Chen Yimu's injured arm and neck. When Chen Yimu tried to cover up by saying his cat had scratched him, the Director warned him that they would "settle this tomorrow" and sent him home.
The next morning, the Director addressed Class 3, announcing that students from their school had been seen fighting in a group off-campus, with Chen Yimu identified as one of the instigators. He demanded that any other participants come forward. Chen Yimu, intending to protect his friends, stood up and claimed he was the only one involved, stating that the others were students from different classes.
However, Lin Xingchen, Luo Qinge, and Zhang Haotian, unwilling to let Chen Yimu take the fall alone, joined Lu Yibai in the Director's office. Lu Yibai confessed their collective involvement, which prompted the Director to reprimand him severely for setting a poor example as a class leader and model student. Lu Yibai explained that they had intervened because the thugs were bullying the girls, and Zhang Haotian confirmed he had been hit.
Understanding their reasons, the Director decided against expulsion but punished all five by making them clean the gymnasium, sports field, restrooms, and all other public areas after school. He also instructed Lu Yibai to accompany him to the local police station to file an official report during recess. This shared ordeal fostered a strong bond of friendship among the five students. That evening, at home, Lu Yibai treated a minor scratch he sustained during the fight.
His father casually mentioned that a colleague had seen Lu Yibai and the Director at the police station filing a report. Lu Yibai downplayed it as "just a fight," but his mother became distraught, expressing deep worry about his safety, especially in confrontations with "people in society." She feared for his well-being, but Lu Yibai's father tried to reassure her, saying their son was mature and knew what he was doing.
Eventually, Lu Yibai apologized and promised his mother he would not cause her such worry again. Meanwhile, the Director had contacted the parents of Lin Xingchen and Luo Qinge by phone. Chen Yimu, however, faced the most severe consequence as his father was summoned directly to the school. Chen's father, "Old Chen," was furious and began scolding his son loudly in the school hallway.
Observing the tense situation, Lu Yibai stepped forward and addressed Chen's father, explaining that as Chen Yimu's class monitor, he was the one who had pulled Chen Yimu into helping with the fight. Lu Yibai apologized on behalf of both of them, which seemed to ease Chen's father's anger. After investigating, the Director discovered that the small-time thugs were students from Anji Technical University, class of 2006.
Coincidentally, the Director himself was a graduate from Anji Technical University, class of 1986. He confronted the thugs, asserting his authority as their "senior." He sternly warned them against ever bothering students from Yiling High School again, threatening to have them all sent to jail if they did. The gang leader, feeling his hand nearly crushed by the Director's firm grip, was clearly intimidated and quickly agreed before hurrying away with his companions.
The Director later mused that putting on such a tough act was quite tiring. During a self-study session, Zhang Haotian tried to coax Lin Xingchen into playing Tic-Tac-Toe. Lu Yibai, finding their chatter disruptive, snatched their paper, crumpled it, and then presented a Gomoku board, challenging Lin Xingchen to play. Lin Xingchen, new to Gomoku, quickly lost several rounds but became completely absorbed in the game. As she was deeply engrossed, the Director walked by on his usual patrol.
Lu Yibai noticed him but intentionally did not warn Lin Xingchen. Consequently, the Director discovered them playing, confiscated the board, and assigned Lin Xingchen detention after school. Left alone for detention, Lin Xingchen felt abandoned by her friends. She tried to make the best of it, dancing on a desk and singing the Naruto theme song. Lu Yibai, who had just finished his physics class, walked by and watched her, captivated.
However, when she stumbled and fell off the desk, he rushed into the classroom to help her up. As they walked home together, Lin Xingchen enthusiastically discussed her favorite Naruto characters, especially Naruto, for his unyielding spirit despite starting as a weakling. She then questioned Lu Yibai why he hadn't warned her about the Director earlier.
Lu Yibai cryptically replied that he had physics class, leaving Lin Xingchen none the wiser that he had deliberately let her get detention so they could walk home together after his class.
