Don't Disturb My Study Episode 17 Recap
> Don't Disturb My Study Recap
Following up on their plan to help Nan Xiangwan return to Class Two, Zhang Chao's method of pestering Wang Feng to distract her from studying was met with disappointment from Lin Xiaoran. Understanding her friends' good intentions, Nan Xiangwan arranged a meeting with Chen Shiyun and Yu Meili to join Lin Xiaoran and Zhang Chao, bringing Wang Feng along to clear the air.
As the class monitor, Yu Meili apologized for the incident, and Zhang Chao admitted to Wang Feng that his sole intention was to distract her. Though still annoyed, Wang Feng's stance toward Nan Xiangwan softened, acknowledging her efforts and conceding that Nan Xiangwan might not be the classmate she would displace from Class Two. Afterward, Zhang Chao offered to escort Yu Meili home, while Lin Xiaoran stayed with Nan Xiangwan to study at a coffee shop.
On their way home, a sudden downpour began. Lin Xiaoran gave his jacket to Nan Xiangwan, playfully boasting that his basketball team's "firepower" made him resistant to the cold. As they walked under a shared umbrella, Nan Xiangwan brought up his dream of becoming a pilot, which he passionately confirmed, reminding her he had mentioned it before. Inspired, Nan Xiangwan later researched aerospace and pilot training information on her computer, intending to help him organize his thoughts for his future.
To give Nan Xiangwan more time to study, Lin Xiaoran, Zhang Chao, and a friend volunteered to help her mother with her laundry delivery business, riding electric bikes to deliver clothes to customers. Nan Xiangwan's mother, while pleased, warned her daughter to be mindful of having exclusively male friends. Meanwhile, Liu Yubai informed Nan Xiangwan about an upcoming college entrance exam lecture.
Eager to help Lin Xiaoran, she asked Liu Yubai for an extra ticket, which he secured from his father. This interaction revealed that Liu Yubai's father, President Liu of Yu Run Real Estate, was grappling with a corporate crisis. Their client information had been accidentally leaked by the Bluebird Group, leading to negative media coverage. President Liu instructed his staff to manage the fallout and forbade public discussion of the matter.
Later, Lin Xiaoran explained their group's ultimate goal to Nan Xiangwan: by helping with the laundry, they aimed to boost her family's income to support her return to Class Two, which is why he objected to her mother's idea of giving discounts to classmates. As the mock exam approached, students increasingly sought Nan Xiangwan's help with their studies.
She was soon overwhelmed by the volume of questions from her Class Seven classmates, whose academic foundations were weak, admitting she couldn't solve many of the problems herself. At this time, Zeng Jianfei returned to class. He had spent time working on a construction site, and the physical hardship, evidenced by blisters on his fingers, made him realize his past foolishness.
He thanked Wang Qibei for his persistent encouragement and for secretly arranging lighter work for him at the site through a friend. Zeng Jianfei pledged to study hard for his future as an artist. Overwhelmed, Nan Xiangwan sought help from Zhu Cong, a genius from Class Two, asking him to tutor Class Seven. Zhu Cong arrogantly refused, deeming their elementary problems "uninteresting."
As he walked away, Li Shuai passed by, and Nan Xiangwan, remembering a vision of his future as an online instructor, commented that he would make a good teacher, leaving Li Shuai flustered. Determined to recruit Zhu Cong, the group strategized, with Li Shuai suggesting that a genius like him needed a challenge. Nan Xiangwan then copied a complex physics problem from a future Guanhua University competition and left it on Zhu Cong's desk.
The bait worked; Zhu Cong became obsessed, spending the entire afternoon trying to solve it. Later, Liu Yubai gave Nan Xiangwan the lecture tickets, and she asked him not to tell Lin Xiaoran that Liu Yubai had gotten the extra ticket, fearing Lin Xiaoran would feel embarrassed. Back in the classroom, Liu Yubai found Zhu Cong still struggling with the problem.
After finally solving it, a triumphant Zhu Cong confronted Liu Yubai, convinced Nan Xiangwan had planted the problem to get his attention. Liu Yubai denied it, pointing out that the handwriting wasn't hers and that she was completely focused on her studies. Unconvinced, Zhu Cong believed her actions were a ploy to impress him, declaring that no one could challenge his intellect.
Meanwhile, Director Zhang held a meeting with the class teachers, expressing concern over "overly close contact" among senior students, which she interpreted as early signs of romance. Wang Qibei strongly disagreed, arguing that at this critical time, teachers should focus on communication and empathetic guidance rather than criticism. Feeling personally targeted by his dissent, Director Zhang became irritated with him.
