Begin Again Episode 30 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
Lu Fangning slowly lowered her stance, listening to Ling Rui whispering softly to her ear that he was just here to take care of Youyou. Lu Fangning immediately softened. Watching Ling Rui walk away, Lu Fangning's cheeks started turning red, and she couldn't help but feel warm. Peng Bo encountered a promotion for Tang Ping's tissue endorsement at the barbecue restaurant, but the promoter only didn't have Tang Ping's merchandise.
Returning to his seat from the restroom, Tang Ping saw from afar how Peng Bo was reasonably fighting for her merchandise, and she couldn't help but secretly rejoice inside. After returning to her seat, Tang Ping excitedly told Peng Bo the good news that she would soon have a romantic storyline, handing the script to Peng Bo.
Tang Ping suggested they rehearse on the spot a scene where a couple falls in love at first sight on a bus, but Tang Ping's exaggerated acting made Peng Bo feel a bit embarrassed. Tang Ping asked Peng Bo to demonstrate. Not knowing if it was talent or an outburst of his true feelings, Peng Bo suddenly leaned on Tang Ping's shoulder. That gentle lean made Tang Ping feel a flutter in her heart. . . Youyou fell asleep.
Ling Rui lightly and quietly walked out of the bedroom. Looking at the familiar room layout, Ling Rui recalled how after Lu Fangning left without saying goodbye that year, he went from frantically searching, to finally giving up, and finally being self-destructive. His sadness was scattered in every corner of this room. Ling Rui turned the doorknob and saw Lu Fangning's sleeping face, as if he saw again Lu Fangning's sadness when she had to leave because of him.
She must have bid him farewell with tears, she must have packed her luggage while sobbing, she must have taken off her wedding ring with immense pain. Why did two people who clearly loved each other reach this point? Ling Rui silently shed tears. Lu Fangning woke up in the morning and found that Ling Rui and Youyou had finished breakfast. Looking at Ling Rui's expressionless face, Lu Fangning appeared somewhat helpless.
Without her own breakfast, without special care, Lu Fangning was a bit unaccustomed to such an indifferent Ling Rui. But Lu Fangning, who was currently at a disadvantage, could only force a smile. Watching Ling Rui take Youyou away, she could only return to work, busying herself with matters concerning the design exhibition. Tang Ping's acting work was underway, but Tang Ping, whose role wasn't heavy, started feeling bored.
Having been rejected by Cai Siyu, Tang Ping dialed Lu Fangning's number, preparing to go to the design exhibition to meet Lu Fangning. Meanwhile, Lu Fangning on the other side was held by Shen Zhuo, listening to Shen Zhuo's idea for the design exhibition's "grand vision." Lu Fangning just listened calmly. But at this moment, Ling Rui appeared holding flowers and with a smile, immediately pushing aside Shen Zhuo, who was clinging to Lu Fangning.
Seeing Ling Rui, Shen Zhuo knew he was in the wrong. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught red-handed by Ling Rui. Ling Rui exposed on the spot the matter of Shen Zhuo calling himself Youyou's "dad" at that time. Seeing the couple in front of him jointly attacking him, Shen Zhuo knew he was outnumbered and could only back down and run away. Tang Ping witnessed everything from afar. The "godmother" saw the "godfather."
Tang Ping mistook Shen Zhuo for the third party interfering in the relationship between Lu Fangning and Ling Rui, and quickly apprehended Shen Zhuo. But Shen Zhuo's sweet talk made Tang Ping drop her guard. The two "victims of Lu Fangning's tyranny" started banding together to badmouth Lu Fangning. The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, regretting not having met sooner. Ling Rui volunteered to accompany Lu Fangning to a dinner gathering for student consultations.
The handsome Ling Rui, as soon as he appeared, was met with teasing and playful remarks from the students. Listening to everyone begin guessing about the relationship between Lu Fangning and Ling Rui, Lu Fangning and Ling Rui also started drinking water with great tacit understanding. At this moment, a girl appeared; it turned out she was an admirer of one of the boys at the table, pursuing him in a persistent and bothersome manner.
Seeing the familiar conversation and actions before them, Ling Rui and Lu Fangning simultaneously recalled similar memories they shared. Ling Rui started secretly chuckling, giving Lu Fangning a wink. Lu Fangning could only awkwardly perform a "tactical drinking of water." Facing the wine glass handed to her, Ling Rui thoughtfully took it to block the drink for Lu Fangning.
But as soon as Ling Rui left, the students at the table revealed to Lu Fangning that Ling Rui was famously good at holding his liquor. Lu Fangning felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this. After Ling Rui returned, she proactively took the wine glass, finally drinking until her cheeks turned red. Lu Fangning became much more willful after getting drunk, grabbing Ling Rui and talking incessantly.
Including the silly girl who suddenly appeared at the dinner tonight, and all of Ling Rui's seemingly distant actions. Lu Fangning asked Ling Rui if she was also such a foolish existence in Ling Rui's heart. Seeing Ling Rui remain silent, Lu Fangning, as if making a confession, agreed to Yu Shiyi's existence, telling Ling Rui to live his life without worry.
Listening to Lu Fangning rambling to herself, Ling Rui suddenly stood up, grabbed Lu Fangning, saying how much he had missed Lu Fangning over the years. Ling Rui knew that Lu Fangning wasn't as incoherent as she appeared. Evidently, Lu Fangning's words attempting to "shake off" Ling Rui stirred Ling Rui's emotions. Ling Rui complained to and told Lu Fangning that their relationship would exist forever, it wouldn't disappear because of a single sentence from Lu Fangning.
Listening to Ling Rui's powerful words, Lu Fangning couldn't help but shed tears. Finally, Ling Rui proposed reconciliation to Lu Fangning. Lu Fangning thought she had misheard, but Ling Rui instead pulled Lu Fangning into his arms with one move, lowered his head and leaned in closer. Their faces overlapped under the moonlight. . .
