Binary Love Episode 15 Recap
> Binary Love Recap
Fang Yuke walked Zhou Linlin home, lingering at her door. He reached for her hand, but their moment was interrupted when Aunt Meng, Linlin's mother, came out. Undeterred, Fang Yuke gently warmed Linlin's ears before they exchanged goodnights. Inside, Linlin was beaming with happiness and shyness. A moment later, Fang Yuke called her, telling her to "look out the window." He was standing across the street.
Linlin playfully turned off her room lights, using a desk lamp to cast shadows on the window for them to interact. Their playful phone call continued with them coyly trying to get the other to hang up first, until Linlin's mother overheard and intervened, telling her to "hang up" without being so "coy." After the call, Fang Yuke sent a message saying, "Let's go on a date tomorrow," to which Linlin happily replied, "Okay."
The next morning, Linlin eagerly knocked on Fang Yuke's door. He quickly excused himself to get ready, greeting her warmly with, "Good morning." Fang Yuke asked, "Where are we going?" to which Linlin responded she didn't know, then playfully asked if he missed her. Fang Yuke simply urged, "Let's just go." They started their date by watching a movie. In the cinema, Linlin was busy eating popcorn.
Fang Yuke repeatedly tried to hold her hand, but Linlin, misunderstanding his intention, offered him some popcorn, saying, "Do you want popcorn?" He responded, "Just eat the popcorn," before finally holding her hand, eventually asking, "Can you stop doing it?" referring to her eating, as he just wanted to hold her hand.
Later, while having lunch, Fang Yuke looked at a list of "100 Things Couples Should Do Together," noting that they had already done "most of the things on your list" even before they were officially a couple. Linlin found these typical couple activities "too normal" and "nothing fun." She then proposed, "Well, how about we do something that most couples won't do?"
Fang Yuke later fed her ice cream, marking it as "the first time your boyfriend feeds you ice cream in person." Following Linlin's suggestion for unusual activities, they went to play paintball. Zhou Linlin, dressed in the combat uniform, impressed Fang Yuke. He momentarily got lost in a fantasy of embracing and kissing her, only to be brought back to reality when Linlin called his name, asking, "What are you doing?"
Fang Yuke apologized, and when Linlin suggested he should "feel better" after she playfully shot him, he proposed, "Then let's go play for real?" Linlin eagerly agreed, "Okay. I'm not afraid." However, their game quickly devolved into a playful fight, with Fang Yuke asking, "What are you doing? You said you wanted to play for real. Don't get mad. It's just a game. How could I be mad?"
before Linlin shot him, causing her to apologize, "Sorry, I was too serious about it." Fang Yuke, after getting hit in the eye, remarked, "No wonder couples don't play paintball together," and Linlin responded, "But you can dodge at least." He then clarified, "I tried. You shot too accurately." Concerned, Linlin asked, "Does it still hurt?" and when he affirmed, she offered, "Let me give you more eye drops."
During the application, Fang Yuke claimed he needed "more medicine," which turned out to be a kiss from Linlin, after which he declared he felt "much better." Later that evening, as they walked, Linlin confessed, "Sorry. You didn't ask me to stay. I thought. . ." Fang Yuke reassured her, stating, "I know how important this is to you. I don't want you to have any regrets."
Linlin, now understanding his true feelings, replied, "Now I know that you'll always be there." She then asked him about her flight, "Have you booked the flight?" Fang Yuke confirmed that Linlin would "leave this Sunday." Realizing their time together was short, Linlin remarked, "We only have a few days left," and proposed to Fang Yuke, "Let's enjoy the countdown." He readily agreed, "Okay. That's it."
For their countdown romance, Zhou Linlin and Fang Yuke went cycling and took photos on a grassy field. Fang Yuke, after taking a selfie, set it as his phone wallpaper, making Linlin exclaim, "Are you nuts?" to which he replied, "I'm so pretty." As they rode, Fang Yuke's bike got a flat tire, and it began to rain. Linlin, observing, "I think it's raining," prompted Fang Yuke to confirm, "Really?" Zhou Linlin then suggested, "Let's go. Leave the bike there!"
and they hurried to a convenience store under a bridge, with Fang Yuke riding Linlin on her bicycle. While sheltering, Linlin noticed Fang Yuke looking at a special application on his phone. He explained, "Everything about Zhou Linlin is in this application." As Linlin read through the "List of Missed Events," she realized how many experiences, such as her "sixteenth birthday" or "going home with Zhou Linlin 634 times," they had missed.
She lamented, "In this case, there are a lot of things we haven't done," which Fang Yuke confirmed, saying, "Everything we've missed in the last two years is in it." Inspired, Linlin declared, "I know what to do. Come home with me when the rain stops. I know how to make it up to you." Back at her house, Linlin had Fang Yuke try on her old high school uniform, remarking, "It fits you.
You wear it just right," as she had bought a larger size for herself. Fang Yuke, intrigued, asked, "Is this how you are going to make it up to me?" and "Do you do cosplay?" Linlin explained, "To put it simply, it's role-playing." She also changed into a uniform, and they enacted a first meeting. As Fang Yuke tried to "go to the bathroom and change my clothes," Linlin stopped him, insisting, "This is my love letter.
Will you accept it?" When he refused, she playfully tickled him until he conceded, "All right! I will! I will." Still, Linlin felt "there's something missing" from the atmosphere and suggested, "How about we go back to school tomorrow?" Fang Yuke asked, "Wearing this?" and she confirmed, "Yeah." The next day, still in their school uniforms, Zhou Linlin and Fang Yuke returned to their high school, determined to "make up for the time we've missed."
Fang Yuke, slightly hesitant, asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" Linlin, guiding him to a hidden entrance, exclaimed, "Great. It's still here!" Fang Yuke, surprised by the secret passage, wondered, "Why would there be such a place?" Linlin teasingly replied, "You buried your head in books every day. Of course you didn't know. Hurry. Watch your head," as they squeezed through. They were almost immediately spotted by a teacher who demanded, "What are you two doing?
Why aren't you in class?" Linlin quickly shouted, "Run!" and they fled, Fang Yuke noting, "He didn't catch up. We don't have to go this far." They eventually reached the Broadcasting Studio, a place Linlin remembered as having "bad memories." Fang Yuke, initially reluctant, said, "Let's not go in there. There are only bad memories about it," but Linlin insisted, "Then I'll turn those bad memories into beautiful ones. Come with me."
Inside, Linlin remarked, "It's exactly the same as it was three years ago. Nothing has changed." She recalled, "Do you remember the day I was taken away? You were standing right here that day. I was reading a love letter to you when the director rushed in and took me out." Fang Yuke, however, had a different memory. " Why was that day three years ago not like this in my memories?" he asked.
After Linlin insisted, "That was the case. I remember it all," Fang Yuke revealed the truth: "At that time, I was standing right here with a letter in my hand, practicing over and over again, not knowing how to confess my love to the girl I like. I brought the letter with me." Linlin then understood, "So, you were gonna read me a love letter."
Fang Yuke elaborated on his past feelings, "You used to write love letters to me for other people at that time. I saw those words, I couldn't help but want to tell you, Zhou Linlin, the person I like is you. I wanted to show you my heart. So, here is the belated love letter." Linlin replied, "I don't think it's belated. It's the perfect time for you to read it to me now."
He then read the heartfelt letter, expressing his admiration for her spirit and mischievousness, and how she burst into his world, making him realize, "this is called a crush. This is love. Zhou Linlin, I like you." Just as he finished reading and they shared a kiss, the director and a complaining teacher burst in. The teacher accused them of "late for school, skipped classes, and held hands. They even came to the Broadcasting Studio to kiss.
Who do you think you are? Zhou Linlin and Fang Yuke?" The director, recognizing Fang Yuke and Zhou Linlin, warmly asked, "Didn't you say you were just friends the last time I saw you on the roof?" Fang Yuke smoothly replied, "Friends cleared the misunderstanding and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Thank you, sir." The director, delighted, affectionately called Fang Yuke a "boy" and invited them to catch up in his office, completely ignoring the complaining teacher's initial grievance.
Meanwhile, Xie Duanxi and Ruting were on a date at Ruting's house when her parents and relatives unexpectedly returned home due to a canceled flight, creating an awkward situation. Ruting had not yet revealed her relationship to her parents, asking Xie Duanxi not to introduce himself as her boyfriend. Instead, he presented himself as "Xi at Home," a chef from a popular app Ruting mentioned, explaining he was there for home cooking.
After Xie Duanxi prepared the meal, Ruting's father, who was suspicious, insisted he stay for dinner. This led Ruting to finally confess her relationship with Xie Duanxi. Her father, upset that Xie Duanxi hadn't been honest earlier, questioned him, prompting Ruting to explain why she had prevented him from speaking.
Ruting's father then accused his daughter of being capricious and not serious about the relationship, but Xie Duanxi countered this, describing Ruting as a determined and steadfast person who changed him and taught him how to express love. He affirmed his seriousness for Ruting, and Ruting herself spoke up, acknowledging her past immaturity and crediting Xie Duanxi with teaching her that "love is something you should make efforts to get. It's about perseverance, about going all out.
You have to pay something to get something." She concluded by asking her father to trust that both she and Xie Duanxi were truly serious about each other. Her father, appearing satisfied, approved their relationship. Zhou Linlin and Fang Yuke continued their countdown romance, making up for missed moments, even revisiting Southern University where Fang Yuke admitted he used to pretend to read "Chinese National Geography" just to watch her.
Linlin noticed the difference in their relationship, remarking, "This is our first time sitting here as a couple. I feel there are a lot of things we haven't done." She wished, "I wish time could stop at this moment forever," to which Fang Yuke lovingly responded, "I'll always be there." Finally, the day of Zhou Linlin's departure arrived. At the airport entrance, she stopped Fang Yuke, saying, "Just stay here.
The more time we spend together, the more I don't want to leave you." Fang Yuke, wanting to cherish the last moments, replied, "I want to watch you a little longer." Linlin then presented him with a gift: "Wearing these glasses, you will be able to use eye drops on your own without asking for help," reminding him to take care of himself. Fang Yuke promised, "I will eat well and sleep well. Take care of yourself.
I'll wait for you." Just then, Wen Tao and his friends appeared. Wen Tao announced, "Linlin, we are on the same flight." When asked by a friend why they transferred from Nanshan to Qingyu just to fly with her to France, Wen Tao replied that "This flight suits me the best in terms of time." Fang Yuke, with a hint of warning, told Wen Tao, "Just don't cause Zhou Linlin any trouble."
As Linlin prepared to board with Wen Tao, overcome with emotion, she turned back to embrace Fang Yuke, saying, "I don't want to leave you." He replied, "I don't want you to leave, too," and they shared a lingering farewell kiss. Wen Tao and his friends watched, with one of his friends questioning, "Why does the main actress tangle with the supporting role?" Wen Tao tried to dismiss it as "just a farewell between friends" and "It's okay. It's nothing."
