Beautiful Time With You Episode 20 Recap
> Beautiful Time With You Recap
Lin Xingchen finally decided to express her feelings to Lu Yibai subtly. She lingered outside the men's restroom, holding the exercise book he had lent her. When she intercepted him, she returned the book along with a bookmark inscribed with "I like you – Xingchen" in Japanese. Lu Yibai accepted both items, seemingly without understanding the message. In her embarrassment, Lin Xingchen nearly walked into the men's restroom before realizing her mistake and quickly apologizing.
Later that day, during the classroom cleanup, a classmate accidentally spilled water on Lu Yibai's desk, soaking his exercise book. Lu Yibai carefully retrieved the bookmark from the wet book. Lin Xingchen, observing this, felt anxious, wondering if he understood the message or would look it up. As they walked home together, Lin Xingchen cautiously brought up the bookmark, asking if he had seen it and if he had anything to say to her.
Lu Yibai innocently replied that he thought it simply meant she considered him a "good person." A willow leaf then landed on Lin Xingchen's face, which Lu Yibai gently removed. He took the leaf home, treasuring it alongside the bookmark, which he carefully placed in his manga book. Meanwhile, Chen Yimu inquired about Fang Qi's personal life from a school team member, learning that Fang Qi had a childhood friend named Ding Yi, a well-known campus beauty from Grade 12.
This news brought a sense of relief to Chen Yimu. The day came for Luo Qinge's planned confession. As soon as class ended, she made an excuse about a family emergency and rushed out, carrying her backpack. Lin Xingchen, having prepared a beautiful greeting card, waited in her classroom for Lu Yibai to finish his physics class so she could confess to him.
The wait felt long, and she idly drew on the blackboard until the Director passed by and advised her to go home. Lin Xingchen then decided to pack her things and find Lu Yibai herself. On her way, Chen Yimu caught up to her, revealing the information about Fang Qi and Ding Yi. They immediately tried calling Luo Qinge, but she didn't answer. Worried, they hurried towards the basketball court.
En route, Lin Xingchen passed by the physics classroom and saw Yang Ruoying with an injured hand. Lu Yibai was helping her by applying a band-aid. Yang Ruoying then took the opportunity to confess her feelings to Lu Yibai, expressing her long-standing admiration and her desire to go abroad with him. This sight deeply saddened Lin Xingchen, causing her to lose all will to go to the basketball court.
When Chen Yimu finally reached the basketball court, he found Luo Qinge dancing gracefully in the center, holding flowers, ready to confess to Fang Qi. However, Fang Qi gently told her that he only saw her as his little sister. Heartbroken, Luo Qinge ran off the court. Chen Yimu quickly warned Fang Qi to stay away from her and then chased after Luo Qinge.
But Luo Qinge, in tears, told him she wanted to be alone and ran away, leaving him behind. Elsewhere, Lin Xingchen sat by the roadside, crying sadly, holding the carefully prepared confession card meant for Lu Yibai. After a somber weekend, both Lin Xingchen and Luo Qinge arrived at school looking dejected. During math class, the teacher, noticing the students' low spirits, initiated a discussion.
He lightheartedly remarked that high school relationships are often like intersecting lines that eventually drift apart, and emphasized the importance of focusing on studies for the college entrance exam to secure their future. His words resonated with both Luo Qinge and Lin Xingchen. Later, Yang Ruoying discovered a manga book on Lu Yibai's desk containing a bookmark. She looked up the Japanese phrase on it, which meant "I really want to shout out 'I like you.'
" This made her recall Lu Yibai's earlier decisive rejection regarding her desire to go abroad with him, leading her to some painful suspicions about his feelings. During lunchtime, Lin Xingchen returned to her classroom and saw Lu Yibai accept a yogurt from Yang Ruoying, which further upset her. Lu Yibai then used the opportunity of distributing homework to approach Lin Xingchen and offer to explain a math problem to her, but she declined his help.
That afternoon, in the library, Lin Xingchen encountered Lu Yibai again and tried to avoid him. Noticing her evasive behavior, Lu Yibai inferred that she might have witnessed something in the physics classroom earlier. He tried to explain the situation, but Zhang Haotian unexpectedly appeared, interrupting their conversation. Lu Yibai's expression changed, and he left.
Zhang Haotian, noticing Lin Xingchen's bad mood, intentionally bothered her during English class by sticking a sticky note on her back that read, "When you're angry, you really look like a prairie dog." Lu Yibai, who was at the front of the classroom writing on the board for the teacher, glanced back at them, his expression growing even colder. Lin Xingchen later realized the note was accidentally stuck inside her homework book.
She went to Lu Yibai to retrieve her book, only to have him return the note and scold her, accusing her of wasting time passing notes with Zhang Haotian instead of studying, and predicting that both of them would eventually be held back a year. Furious, Lin Xingchen argued back, accidentally bumping his desk and causing his hourglass to fall and shatter on the floor.
