Don't Disturb My Study Episode 3 Recap
> Don't Disturb My Study Recap
As night fell, Lin Xiaoran returned to school to find Nan Xiangwan alone in the classroom. When she saw him and prepared to leave, the building was suddenly plunged into darkness by a power outage. The silent, dark hallway terrified Nan Xiangwan, who was already afraid of the dark, and she found herself frozen in place. After locking the classroom, Lin Xiaoran saw her panic and teased her about her fear as they headed for the stairs.
However, when Nan Xiangwan accidentally twisted her ankle, he ended up carrying her out of the building. Lin Xiaoran then decided to see his good deed through to the end by cycling her home. Their initial awkwardness gradually eased, and the interaction between them became more comfortable. The next day, Lin Xiaoran gave Nan Xiangwan a ride to school on his bicycle.
He then met with Zhang Chao and his friends to devise a plan to get Teacher Li replaced with a more authoritative headteacher who might help Zeng Jianfei stay in school. Lin Xiaoran proposed that the entire class, including Nan Xiangwan, should refuse to submit their homework. Knowing Nan Xiangwan would never agree, Lin Xiaoran lied that Teacher Wang was looking for her, sending her away so he could take her homework.
In the faculty office, Nan Xiangwan found Liu Yubai anxiously holding an invitation to the Youth Architecture Modeling World Cup. Recognizing this as the competition that would launch his successful career, she subtly encouraged him not to miss this important opportunity for the sake of regular classes. Back in the classroom, Nan Xiangwan tried to hide her homework, but Lin Xiaoran snatched it away along with the rest of the class's assignments.
Lin Xiaoran then asked Chen Shiyun to grade the physics homework, who in turn passed the stacks of notebooks to Liu Yubai and Zhu Cong. Upon seeing Nan Xiangwan's name, Liu Yubai immediately returned her notebook to her. Despite this, Nan Xiangwan’s submitted homework was a complete failure. Although her handwriting was neat and her problem-solving steps were detailed, she had answered all ten questions incorrectly.
Teacher Li was at a loss, and the class’s laughter left Nan Xiangwan deeply embarrassed, forcing her to admit she had underestimated the difficulty of the coursework. When Lin Xiaoran confronted her for submitting her homework behind his back, she surprised him by pinching his cheek, leaving him momentarily bewildered. Nan Xiangwan’s mother, aware of her daughter's struggles, comforted her and encouraged her to try harder next time.
Despite her mother’s understanding, Nan Xiangwan felt immense pressure, believing that only by getting into Guanhua University could she set her life back on the right track. Before school, Liu Yubai remembered the modeling competition was that day. Spurred by Nan Xiangwan’s encouragement, he decided to go and texted Zhu Cong to cover for him. Liu Yubai was Zhu Cong's only friend, and despite Zhu Cong's cold and sharp-tongued exterior, he had a kind heart.
Their bond was solidified by their shared academic excellence and their mutual defeat to Lin Xiaoran in popularity. Chen Shiyun advised Lin Xiaoran to focus on his studies instead of clashing with Teacher Li, casually mentioning that Nan Xiangwan and Liu Yubai seemed to have a good relationship, which surprised Lin Xiaoran.
Later, drawing on her years of workplace experience, Nan Xiangwan suggested Lin Xiaoran write a SWOT analysis report for the principal, explaining that a clear presentation of the pros and cons would help him make an informed decision. Since Nan Xiangwan refused to help, Lin Xiaoran's group had to research the unfamiliar report format themselves. They met that evening and divided the four sections of the SWOT analysis among them.
They also caught Yu Meili, whom Nan Xiangwan had assigned to spy on them, and coerced her into helping by secretly posting the finished report on the principal's office door. During the physics competition the next day, Nan Xiangwan struggled, finding the questions far more difficult than any regular exam. Disheartened by her poor performance, she resolved to find a tutor to help her study.
