Begin Again Episode 15 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
Seeing how strangely Ling Rui was acting today, Juan Mao couldn't help but feel confused. But after hearing Ling Rui elaborate on the current situation of "his friend," he finally understood that it was a quarrel between a couple. Juan Mao didn't pursue the truth behind this "imaginary friend," but instead offered Ling Rui advice, such as a feigned injury plan, creating surprises, and so on.
Although Ling Rui repeatedly insisted that it wasn't about him, he was silently pondering in his heart. Thinking that Lu Fangning's birthday was coming up in the next few days, Ling Rui, who was always bad with words and slow in action, also started to scheme carefully. He not only brought back decorations from the hospital to set up the scene, but also personally went to the dessert shop to order a cake printed with his own face.
Holding a pen and writing his true feelings on the card, Ling Rui's thoughts were constantly surging. Would such careful preparation make Lu Fangning recall her childhood and remember him? Seeing the room full of streamers and balloons, Ling Rui, holding a doll headpiece, finally waited for Lu Fangning to return. Ling Rui took Lu Fangning's hand and led her to the cake. Facing the warm candlelight, Ling Rui softly sang the birthday song.
Unlike Ling Rui's gentle expression, Lu Fangning looked at everything before her, but only kept recalling the dark side of her memories: vivid faces, falling drops of blood, overturned vehicles. Ling Rui shyly yet surely presented the gift he prepared himself, but the flickering candlelight made Lu Fangning feel unsettled. Unable to suppress the shock in her heart, Lu Fangning could only quickly take the gift and flee in panic.
After Ling Rui called Lu Fangyu to ask, he finally learned the truth behind this strange birthday scene: Lu Fangning's birthday is the day her eldest sister passed away. Since then, no one has celebrated Lu Fangning's birthday, precisely so as not to make her relive this nightmare. Lu Fangyu's words were still rambling on the other end of the phone, but Ling Rui no longer had the heart to continue listening.
He grabbed his coat and went out to look for Lu Fangning. Lu Fangning, who rushed out the door, didn't go far. She just wanted to escape that birthday atmosphere. Once outside the door, Lu Fangning felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye. Thinking that all the preparations Ling Rui had made for her were ruined by herself, guilt surged in her heart. Lu Fangning opened the gift box, but found a game coin from an amusement park.
What was the deeper meaning behind this? Before Lu Fangning could think carefully, a sneeze made Lu Fangning accidentally flick the coin out. Thinking that she couldn't fail Ling Rui's intention, Lu Fangning lowered her head and searched diligently for a long time, but couldn't find it again. Lu Fangning's searching figure happened to be seen by Ling Rui. The weather was turning cold, and Ling Rui couldn't bear to let Lu Fangning continue to suffer from the cold.
He could only persuade her with good words and bad words, urging Lu Fangning to go home first. After an awkward and silent birthday party, Ling Rui and Lu Fangning were speechless towards each other. But Ling Rui knew that Lu Fangning was still thanking him while suppressing the pain of her memories, and a warmth remained in his heart. After Lu Fangning fell asleep, Ling Rui repeatedly pondered how to propose a step further to Lu Fangning.
With the words constantly being blacked out, Ling Rui still didn't know where to begin. He could only first leave a picture similar to a stock trend on the computer. Lu Fangning woke up early in the morning, but didn't see Ling Rui. Accidentally glancing at the picture on the computer desk, Lu Fangning mistook it for Ling Rui's investment return chart.
From this, it seemed that Ling Rui's income was gradually increasing, and he would soon be free from his contract with her. Thinking that her husband was about to slip out of her grasp, Lu Fangning decided to cherish him properly. She started by finding the gift. The extremely domineering Lu Fangning actually drained the swimming pool completely, and only then found it. Before the 'alarm' was lifted, Lu Fangning received a tip-off from Juan Mao.
Ling Rui said he wanted to "start over." Combined with the scattered words Lu Fangning found that Ling Rui had written in the wastepaper basket, Lu Fangning was convinced that Ling Rui was looking for an opportunity to break up with her completely. Little did she know, Ling Rui actually wanted to fall in love with Lu Fangning again. With completely opposite understandings, the two, one chasing and one hiding, began a "pursuit battle."
The underground relationship between Cai Siyu and Lu Yiyao began. Cai Siyu, who was immersed in novel plots, transformed into an idol drama heroine, using every method to confess to Lu Yiyao, covering up in every way yet full of loopholes. Watching his "idiot teammate's" off-line performance, Lu Yiyao was troubled. After work, Lu Yiyao waited in the parking lot and watched Cai Siyu's rather cautious hiding movements, finding it momentarily amusing.
Cai Siyu was on tenterhooks, afraid that the secret would be leaked, thereby affecting Lu Yiyao's career prospects. Thinking of this, Lu Yiyao was speechless. When talking about dating, Lu Yiyao still used old-fashioned date routines, which made Cai Siyu openly call him boring. Instead, Cai Siyu took Lu Yiyao to a pet store. Through interacting with the cute pets, the relationship between Cai Siyu and Lu Yiyao also subtly deepened.
Lu Fangning, who also worked at the company, was blocked at the door by Ling Rui. Having no other option, Lu Fangning could only start delaying using work as an excuse. But Ling Rui was also full of patience; he was determined to catch Lu Fangning no matter what. In the same room but each with their own intentions, Lu Fangning decided to first find an excuse and make running away the best strategy. . .
