Don't Disturb My Study Episode 16 Recap
> Don't Disturb My Study Recap
Despite an injury, Lin Xiaoran persevered through a basketball game where the scores remained neck and neck. As the match intensified, Lin Xiaoran fought hard, making a crucial three-pointer. He eventually secured the victory with a powerful dunk after snatching the ball from his opponent, Meng Xiangsheng. After the game, Meng Xiangsheng complimented Lin Xiaoran's performance and suggested they exchange signed jerseys as a memento.
Nan Xiangwan then approached, had Lin Xiaoran sign his jersey for her, and immediately handed it to Meng Xiangsheng. This action deeply displeased Lin Xiaoran, especially after he saw her with a bottle of water and realized she had originally gone to buy it for him. In a subsequent physics class, the teacher presented a basic problem from the advanced Class Two, but no one in Class Seven dared to attempt it except for Nan Xiangwan.
This starkly contrasted with Class Two, where four top students—Jiang Haiyang, Han Mingtong, Liu Yubai, and Chen Shiyun—were tasked with solving a more complex problem using at least three different methods, highlighting the significant academic gap between the classes. Lin Xiaoran, misinterpreting Nan Xiangwan's presence at his game, believed she secretly cared for him and was just being reserved.
As he tried to discuss it with her, Nan Xiangwan quickly brushed him off, delegating Chen Shiyun to handle him before leaving. Chen Shiyun bluntly told Lin Xiaoran that Nan Xiangwan was avoiding him. She emphasized Nan Xiangwan's ambition and drive for a better future, warning Lin Xiaoran that if he remained stagnant, he would be left behind and might not even be worthy of being her friend.
As the mock exam approached, teacher Wang Qibei expressed his satisfaction with the students' calm demeanor. Lin Xiaoran interjected, suggesting they should still aim for Class Two, as it would help with admission to Guanhua University. When asked if he was speaking for himself, he claimed he was asking for someone else. That evening, influenced by his words, Nan Xiangwan messaged Lin Xiaoran, telling him to come to the classroom for morning self-study.
The next morning, she announced that she would lead 15-minute physics review sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, covering advanced topics from Class Two. The announcement was met with protests, but Lin Xiaoran's intervention, reminding everyone of Nan Xiangwan's "no disturbance" rule, quieted the room. However, Nan Xiangwan's rapid teaching style, jumping between topics, left most students, including Lin Xiaoran, confused and struggling. Lin Xiaoran lamented that the 15-minute session was more exhausting than an intense basketball practice.
While Zhang Chao found the experience torturous, Li Shuai surprisingly found it effective. Noticing Nan Xiangwan's exhaustion, Lin Xiaoran thoughtfully brought her a drink. He then asked Nan Xiangwan if she still wanted to get into Class Two. When she confirmed her ambition, Lin Xiaoran proposed using "team power" to help her. He approached Zhang Chao and Li Shuai, only to find they were already on board.
They revealed that Nan Xiangwan was already using her spare time to tutor the whole class and that they, in turn, had acquired "top-secret" review materials from Class Two. They declared that getting Nan Xiangwan into Class Two was now a collective goal. Despite the team's relentless efforts and strict supervision, Nan Xiangwan's overall grades remained stagnant. Concluding that her individual improvement was too slow, the boys decided to shift their strategy: they would influence Class Two directly.
Zhang Chao volunteered to target Wang Feng, the last-ranked student in Class Two, intending to disrupt her studies and lower the threshold for entry. While this plan was underway, Nan Xiangwan did show some progress, with her English scores reaching the mid-level of Class Two, though her math still lagged. Later, while Zhang Chao was with Wang Feng at a stationery store, he spotted Yu Meili with an unfamiliar man.
Mistakenly assuming the man was her boyfriend, Zhang Chao rushed to confront them, only for Yu Meili to clarify that the man was her brother. Flustered by his mistake, Zhang Chao accidentally blurted out their entire scheme in front of Wang Feng, revealing that his only reason for helping her was to sabotage her grades for Nan Xiangwan's benefit, realizing his blunder too late.
