> Begin Again Recap
Ling Rui and Lu Fangning were lying in the same bed. Lu Fangning used the excuse of menstrual pain to force Ling Rui to coax her to sleep. Ling Rui was surprised to discover that Lu Fangning had even prepared parenting guides to read in anticipation of a new life. Ling Rui was pensive.
When he asked, Lu Fangning merely explained that her lonely life had led her to look forward to a family with a sense of warmth and life more. After coaxing Lu Fangning to sleep, Ling Rui quietly left the room. Lu Fangning woke up and walked out of the room, frustrated about missing a good opportunity. Ling Rui had prepared breakfast and wanted to have a good talk with Lu Fangning.
Ling Rui realized that the Lu Fangning in front of him desired a new life much more than he had expected, but he had not planned for this phase in his life. Due to their different pursuits in life goals, Ling Rui formally proposed to terminate the contract with Lu Fangning at the dining table. Hearing Ling Rui's analysis, Lu Fangning interrupted him immediately.
Although Lu Fangning had expectations for a new life, she emphasized to Ling Rui that the Infinite project was her true passion, and since the project hadn't gotten on the right track yet, she couldn't tolerate the career instability that breaking the contract would bring. Lu Fangning, who coolly rejected Ling Rui's proposal, maintained a cold expression as she returned to her room, only then relaxing. It turned out that all those righteous words were merely Lu Fangning's delaying tactic.
As for Ling Rui, she was determined to capture him, no matter what. . . - Chairman Tang returned home and found wine bottles all over the floor. His daughter, Tang Pingping, had pretentiously set up a scene to create a heartbroken atmosphere, which even moved herself to shed "sad" tears. Old Tang suggested that Tang Pingping compare herself to Lu Fangning and turn her sadness into motivation.
Realizing she was inferior to that Lu Fangning in every aspect, Tang Pingping gritted her teeth and decided to learn how to dance. Tang Pingping came to the dance academy where Ling Yazhi was, intending to inquire about courses. After hearing Ling Yazhi's recommendation, Tang Pingping prepared to learn ballet to challenge herself, and also bought an annual pass, which made Ling Yazhi extremely happy.
Ling Rui noticed Lu Yiyao's lingering gaze after separating from Lu Fangning, realizing that Lu Yiyao still couldn't let go of Lu Fangning. Ling Rui's heart was filled with jealousy. Back in his room, after reconfirming Lu Fangning's favorable feelings towards Lu Yiyao, Ling Rui completely felt a sense of crisis. To prevent his love rival from taking advantage of his proximity, Ling Rui proposed that he and Lu Fangning move back to the apartment together.
The two hit it off immediately and started preparing for the move. Both, having succeeded in their plans, quietly smiled. Their life as a couple officially began. Ling Rui insisted on sleeping in the guest room, and Lu Fangning, unable to persuade him otherwise, could only temporarily agree. The rather responsible Ling Rui proposed that he would provide the monthly living expenses.
Just as Lu Fangning, who was indulging in the enjoyable feeling of being "taken care of," began to smile, she learned that Ling Rui was about to go on a three-day business trip, and she lost her enthusiasm. As soon as Ling Rui went on his business trip, Lu Fangning frequently experienced hallucinations. Feelings of longing spread, and Lu Fangning decided to immerse herself in work.
Just coincidentally, Ling Rui's teacher, Teacher Yu, and his colleague and classmate, Curly Hair, came to Lu Fangning's mega store to buy furniture. Seeing Lu Fangning's cold working demeanor, the two speculated that there might be a rift between the husband and wife. The two, preparing to be peacemakers, told Lu Fangning Ling Rui's story: Ling Rui's father passed away early, causing his mother to suffer from a chronic illness.
The heavy burden of the family caused Ling Rui to grow up quickly. His family was poor, so he could only eat bread given by classmates and stayed alone in the countryside to take care of his mother. . . Listening to the accounts from Ling Rui's acquaintances, Lu Fangning's eyes gradually became moist. She said goodbye to the teacher. Lu Fangning, carrying her thoughts, came to a bakery. . .
- Tang Pingping, who was still new to dancing, was completely battered by her teacher. Just as she was about to fire the teacher, Tang Pingping unexpectedly discovered Lu Fangyu teaching at the dance academy. She pulled out her phone and started furiously taking pictures. Meanwhile, Ling Yazhi on the other side called out to Tang Pingping.
Hearing Ling Yazhi's words, Tang Pingping then realized that Ling Yazhi standing in front of her was actually Ling Rui's aunt, and Lu Fangning's younger brother, Lu Fangyu, was teaching at the dance academy. Cai Siyu was unhappily nibbling on bread in the office. However, a phone call came in from her boss, Lu Fangning. Hearing Lu Fangning's warm invitation to have dinner together, Cai Siyu excitedly abandoned the bread in her hand and rushed towards the top floor.
