Don't Disturb My Study Episode 13 Recap
> Don't Disturb My Study Recap
After Nan Xiangwan committed to the sports meet, Lin Xiaoran supervised her early morning training. Concerned she was under too much pressure, he offered her a way out of the competition, but she dismissed his worries, explaining that she genuinely enjoyed running and wanted to use the opportunity to make up for the "hot-blooded" youth she had missed. After she stumbled during her run, Lin Xiaoran helped her up, noticing her flushed face and rapid heartbeat.
Amused, Nan Xiangwan teased him for being flustered and physically weak, suggesting he needed to train more himself. This encounter made Lin Xiaoran wonder if Nan Xiangwan had feelings for him. Following the advice of his friends, Li Shuai and Zhang Chao, he tried two strategies to find out. First, he changed his hairstyle, but Nan Xiangwan was unimpressed, merely noting that his "annoyance index" had risen.
For his second strategy, he deliberately spoke with Chen Shiyun to provoke jealousy and then presented Nan Xiangwan with study notes, claiming he had worked on them until 3 AM. Nan Xiangwan, however, recognized the handwriting as Chen Shiyun's and politely declined. She explained that Liu Yubai's notes were more tailored to her specific knowledge gaps, whereas Chen Shiyun's were too basic.
Later, when Lin Xiaoran asked Chen Shiyun for her opinion of him as a girl would see him, she bluntly called him "childish, arrogant, and unmotivated," though she admitted he wasn't a bad person. Upon returning home, Nan Xiangwan was relieved to find a pair of spiked running shoes on her table, a clear sign of her mother's approval for her to participate in the sports meet.
On the day of the Xiangli Middle School Autumn Sports Meeting, Nan Xiangwan arrived with her new spiked shoes, ready to compete. The Class Seven teacher, Wang Qibei, appeared in a vibrant costume with a wig, enthusiastically organizing his students and setting goals. Class Seven proudly chanted their slogan, "Class Seven of Senior High, like tigers unleashed, unstoppable on the field." Though Nan Xiangwan initially found it childish, she joined in for the sake of unity.
Their rivals, Class Two, led by their teacher Liao Shichang and Chen Shiyun, responded with their own fierce slogans, setting the stage for an intense competition. As the opening ceremony began, a light rain started to fall, and students opened their umbrellas. While Nan Xiangwan tried to use the time to memorize vocabulary, Lin Xiaoran appeared and held his umbrella over her. Yu Meili noticed the intimate moment and decided not to interrupt.
Meanwhile, the rival teachers, Liao Shichang and Wang Qibei, engaged in their own verbal sparring, trading boasts about which of their classes would triumph. Liu Yubai remained confident, telling Zhu Cong he had prepared different strategies for various weather conditions. The principal delivered an encouraging speech, and as the rain subsided, the sports meet officially began. Nearby, Li Shuai proudly showed off his new spiked shoes to Zhang Chao, who eagerly tried them on.
The competitions commenced with great energy, as Class Seven and Class Two immediately bickered over whose turn it was to read their cheering articles over the loudspeaker. Lin Xiaoran was one of the first to compete, delivering a dominant performance in his events and securing championships. His victory impressed his teammates and quelled Nan Xiangwan's earlier doubts about whether he had what it took to win and rejoin the basketball team. Next was the girls' shot-put event.
Wang Feng of Class Two set an early mark of 7. 91 meters. When it was Liu Jiaojiao's turn, some classmates expressed skepticism due to her small stature. However, buoyed by her friends' encouragement, Liu Jiaojiao unleashed a powerful throw of 8. 35 meters, winning the shot-put championship for Class Seven. The mood shifted during the boys' long jump. Chen Yushu from Class Two repeatedly distracted Zhang Chao, asking if the girls in the crowd were admiring him.
Rattled, Zhang Chao committed fouls on his first three jumps, invalidating them. Frustrated, he snapped at Chen Yushu to be quiet before his final attempt, but he only managed a disappointing jump of 4. 4 meters. Consequently, Chen Yushu won the event for Class Two. Zhang Chao's classmates, including Yu Meili, were stunned by the outcome, as he was known for being one of the top athletes in their grade.
