Don't Disturb My Study Episode 10 Recap
> Don't Disturb My Study Recap
After his father discovers his architecture books and reminds him of his duty to study finance for the family business, Liu Yubai feels the pressure of his future. He decides to act on his feelings for Nan Xiangwan, recording a heartfelt confession for her on an MP3. Separately, when her mother brings up Lin Xiaoran, Nan Xiangwan dismisses him as "just a kid," insisting that nothing will distract her from her studies.
The results of the mock monthly exam are released, and Nan Xiangwan makes significant progress, climbing from twenty-fourth to eighth place. Despite this, she doesn't achieve her goal of entering Class Two, leaving her feeling disappointed. Upon seeing her still in their class, Lin Xiaoran expresses relief. However, when he sees that her scores are much higher than his, he is stunned and then confidently takes over her class cleaning duties, declaring he will handle them from now on.
In the office, Wang Qibei reviews Nan Xiangwan's remarkable progress, convinced she will soon transfer to Class Two, though Liao Shichang remains skeptical. Wang Qibei points out that the "class exchange system" idea likely originated from Nan Xiangwan herself, proving her advanced thinking. Later, Nan Xiangwan confirms this to Wang Qibei, explaining she orchestrated the plan using Chen Shiyun's photo incident and the principal's Weibo habits to get the system implemented.
She reveals her ultimate goal is Guanhua University, with Class Two being merely a necessary step, impressing Wang Qibei with her strategic intelligence. Meanwhile, Liu Yubai hesitates to give Nan Xiangwan the MP3. In the school cafeteria, Lin Xiaoran overhears Wang Feng from Class Two mocking Nan Xiangwan. He immediately defends her, scolding Wang Feng for being the last-place student in Class Two and thus having no right to criticize anyone.
When Chen Shiyun tries to defend Wang Feng, Lin Xiaoran expresses his disappointment in her for forgetting how Nan Xiangwan had helped her. Shortly after, Lin Xiaoran spots Liu Yubai finally handing the MP3 to Nan Xiangwan. Feeling hurt, Lin Xiaoran, who had brought fresh dumplings for her, angrily throws them away. Nan Xiangwan follows him back to the classroom and, sensing his frustration, offers him the MP3.
Just as he is about to listen, the class bell rings, and Wang Qibei enters to announce an upcoming lecture. Wang Qibei calls Jiang Daling to his office to discuss her declining grades. She explains she is in the finals of a singing competition, "The Spring for Bands." Unexpectedly, Wang Qibei encourages her but reminds her to refocus on her studies afterward. During the education bureau's lecture, Jiang Daling's MP3 accidentally plays music, drawing Director Zhang's anger.
Citing rules against electronic devices, Director Zhang orders all of Class Seven to surrender their MP3s. Panicked that his recorded confession will be discovered, Liu Yubai rushes to Nan Xiangwan to ask if she has listened to the MP3 yet. Wang Qibei tries to intercede for his students, arguing that MP3s are useful for English listening practice. Director Zhang dismisses his plea, challenging him to find even one MP3 in Class Seven that contains genuine study material.
His search proves fruitless; Nan Xiangwan says she lent hers out, the class monitor Yu Meili claims not to have one, and other students either deny owning one or have theirs filled with music. Director Zhang then announces that school-wide broadcasts will replace the need for personal devices. As students hand over their MP3s, Lin Xiaoran tries to hide the one from Nan Xiangwan inside a dictionary. Wang Qibei spots him and, assuming he's simply evading the rule, confiscates it, unaware of its emotional significance and how it came into Lin Xiaoran's possession.
