Begin Again Episode 25 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
Six years later, Tang Ping, who was originally just a minor internet celebrity, became an actress. Although she wasn't very famous, Tang Ping still worked hard to climb up. This filming session was at the Luming Mall. To familiarize herself with the environment, Tang Ping prepared to visit the mall to browse, but unexpectedly saw a book signing event for the writer Cai Siyu.
Tang Ping came to find Cai Siyu with her face covered, but was still spotted on the spot. Tang Ping asked Cai Siyu about Lu Fangning's whereabouts. As good friends, neither of them had received contact from Fangning. Now, both of them could only secretly curse Lu Fangning's heartlessness in their hearts. On the other side, Lu Fangning raised her son, Lu Youyou, by herself, living abroad.
Having never seen his father's face since he was a child, Lu Youyou longed to find his dad in his heart. Coincidentally, Lu Fangning's friend Shen Zhuo was busy with matters concerning an exhibition and wanted to call Fangning back to help. So he seized Fangning's weakness: Lu Youyou. Like "capture the king first to capture the thieves," Shen Zhuo first brought Youyou back to that familiar city, and Fangning had no choice but to follow.
Lu Yiyao prepared accommodation for Fangning, which was Fangning's old apartment. He asked about Fangning's plans, but Fangning had no intention of staying in the country again. Speaking of Ling Rui, Fangning had been physically and mentally exhausted from taking care of Lu Youyou over the past few years. Holding the thought of not wanting to disturb Ling Rui's work studying in Germany, after several years, Fangning developed her own brand: White Queen.
Lu Fangning, busy with work, had even less intention of taking her son back to find Ling Rui. Now that her son was old enough to run around everywhere, Lu Fangning decided it was best to find a suitable time to notify Ling Rui of this "earth-shattering news." Looking at Fangning's determined expression, Lu Yiyao had nothing to refute. Fangning brought her new brand to see Old Chairman Tang.
She was just about to tell Old Chairman Tang not to tell Tang Ping about her return to the country, but Tang Ping walked straight into the office. As soon as she discovered Lu Fangning's presence, Tang Ping quickly grabbed hold and wouldn't let go. Even Cai Siyu, who was on the phone with Tang Ping at the time, directly received the news of Fangning's return.
All her painstaking efforts were in vain, and Lu Fangning could only resign herself to bad luck. Looking at the two women questioning her in front of her, Lu Fangning realized they had become much bolder and quickly switched into sarcastic verbal attack mode. But Cai Siyu and Tang Ping found that Lu Fangning was just sharp-tongued but kind-hearted; even when abroad, she still cared about them both. They asked Lu Fangning why she divorced, but Fangning just smiled awkwardly.
When they changed the subject to Ling Rui, Fangning quickly pricked up her ears, but the two of them stammered and refused to elaborate on Ling Rui's recent situation, so Fangning had to drop the subject. Tang Ping returned home, overjoyed at the thought of about to get the opportunity to play the lead female role in Cai Siyu's new work.
She wanted to take a selfie with the new book and post it on her moments, but found that slanderous comments about herself were circulating online. Tang Ping, who was originally very worried, discovered that her anti-trolling group was doing its best to defend her, and couldn't help but feel much more at ease. Looking at this main force of anti-trolling with the ID Jiao Tang Ping Yi Er Ling, Tang Ping was both happy and grateful.
Fangning came to the exhibition venue to survey it. An assistant from the school wanted to recruit Fangning to his cousin's company. Fangning looked at the very enthusiastic classmate in front of her and said she temporarily had no such intention. Wanting to find a quiet place for a while, Fangning went out to browse the venue, but unexpectedly heard a passing female classmate raving about "Dr. Ling" who was giving a lecture at the same venue.
Fangning, who was originally indifferent, glanced at Ling Rui's name on the poster and froze on the spot, staring at the poster in a daze. Fangning was about to leave, but discovered Ling Rui chatting with a colleague and walking towards her direction. In a moment of panic, Fangning could only secretly hide, peeking at Ling Rui's receding figure. Seeing her long-unseen lover walk past, Fangning, who was originally extremely calm, could no longer bear it.
Her frantically beating heart reminded Fangning of her true feelings, but Fangning, in order to keep the big picture in mind, could only maintain her hiding posture. Returning home, recalling this scene, Fangning's heart had not yet calmed down. She worried whether Ling Rui would truly accept her sudden reappearance after being out of touch for many years. Fangning was unsure of Ling Rui's reaction, leaving only a heart full of worry.
The next day, Fangning was busy with matters related to the exhibition. She first left Lu Youyou at Lu Yiyao's house and returned to the school exhibition hall alone. Just as she was worrying about whether she would encounter Ling Rui again, Murphy's Law struck. Ling Rui was surrounded by students asking him questions, and the group was about to walk towards her direction. After thinking it over last night, this time Fangning was not prepared to dodge.
She mustered up the courage to call out that name, but Ling Rui and his group seemed not to notice Fangning's presence and just walked straight past. It was like a joke played by fate; the two of them brushed past each other again.
