> Eat Run Love Recap

Gan Yang deliberately brought flowers to see Ding Zhitong. Ding Zhitong also personally cooked a meal for Gan Yang. She wasn’t sure if Gan Yang’s tastes had changed, so she made the dishes the way he used to like them—something she learned to do after their breakup. Ding Zhitong told Gan Yang she had forgiven him. She was angry that Gan Yang had never spoken about everything.

Perhaps even if he had told her back then, they might have ended up separating anyway due to debt over time. Gan Yang held Ding Zhitong’s hand and shared what his mother had said to him—when things went wrong at home, his mother would rather he never return, so he could live a peaceful life on his own. That was love. And in the same way, he had hoped that Ding Zhitong could live her own life.

Ding Zhitong pulled her hand out of Gan Yang’s and said she hoped they could remain friends. She called Song Mingmei to tell her about it. Song Mingmei recalled how she had once gone to see Gan Yang and asked him to leave Ding Zhitong’s life. Maybe it was because of this that Gan Yang had pushed Ding Zhitong out of the training box. Song Mingmei blamed Ding Zhitong for not telling Gan Yang what happened after the breakup.

But Ding Zhitong simply didn’t want Gan Yang to know everything, and Song Mingmei was helpless. That night, Ding Zhitong couldn’t sleep, thinking about how her mother passed away. She knelt by the hospital bed and cried. Gan Yang’s company suddenly ran into trouble, and he had to fly back from Hong Kong to handle it. President Zhang came to see Ding Zhitong.

He was now in charge of the training box, but disagreements among shareholders made things difficult, and he was too busy to manage everything. Gan Yang wanted Ding Zhitong to continue running it, but at the same time, the Wang Group also sent a project hoping Ding Zhitong would take it on. Ding Zhitong said she needed time to think. That evening, Wilson invited Ding Zhitong for dinner.

She shared her concerns with him and said she wanted to help Gan Yang, to contribute to his dream. After she left, Wilson called his assistant and ordered that Ding Zhitong be appointed the Wang Group’s long-term financial advisor. He also canceled all his plans in Hong Kong and returned to Shanghai the next day. Gan Yang was overjoyed to see Ding Zhitong back. He constantly observed her and messaged her even though they could see each other in person.

Gan Yang kept trying to rekindle their relationship, but Ding Zhitong said she only came back to complete the project and had no plans to reconcile. Gan Yang didn’t give up and continued to invite her to dinner, but she didn’t agree. That night, seeing that Ding Zhitong was still working late, Gan Yang turned off the lights and declared that the company didn’t encourage overtime, asking everyone to go home.

Wang Yi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard it. While out together, Ding Zhitong accidentally twisted her ankle. Gan Yang immediately ran back and brought her a pair of shoes, personally helping her put them on. The shoes fit perfectly, but Ding Zhitong insisted on transferring money to him. Gan Yang was delighted—not because of the money, but because she still remembered his account number. Embarrassed, Ding Zhitong quickly left.

But Gan Yang got into her car, looking unwell with a stomachache, which worried Ding Zhitong, and she quickly took him to buy some food. At the supermarket, Gan Yang seemed totally fine and started shopping to cook at home. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he brought Ding Zhitong back with him. Watching Gan Yang from behind, Ding Zhitong recalled her beautiful daydreams—eating, running, and living together with him. Suddenly, Ding Zhitong felt she had been tricked.

Gan Yang had faked a stomachache just to go shopping. She threw him out, but he still reminded her that the soup needed ten more minutes and that she should refrigerate the vegetables. He also told her not to forget his shoes in the room. Ding Zhitong threw those out too. Song Mingmei came to talk to Ding Zhitong about her divorce dispute with Deng Baiting and tried to persuade her to understand Gan Yang.

Ding Zhitong admitted she did understand him, but if Gan Yang had truly revealed everything back then, maybe she wouldn’t have left. Still, she wasn’t sure if mutual support would have turned into mutual suffering. Now that she was in her thirties, love was no longer her only concern. During a night run, Ding Zhitong ran into Wilson, and they decided to jog together. She saw President Lin and wanted to greet him but felt too underdressed to enter.

Unexpectedly, Wilson pulled her in—it was a private club, and everyone greeted Wilson warmly. That’s when Ding Zhitong realized Wilson was actually President Wang. President Wang honestly revealed his identity. Ding Zhitong warned him that this was the first and last time he could deceive her—otherwise, they couldn’t be friends anymore. She also thanked him for introducing her to new clients that day. When Ding Zhitong got back, Gan Yang was standing on the balcony watching her.

He sent messages and called her, and neither of them could sleep. Gan Yang picked up a book and started reading to Ding Zhitong in fluent English. She unknowingly sat there listening, slowly drifting off to sleep. Gan Yang smiled as he watched her fall asleep. The next day, Gan Yang brought breakfast for Ding Zhitong and asked to go to work with her. Ding Zhitong agreed to eat on the roadside first.

As soon as Gan Yang sat down, she pretended to get tissues from the car but drove off instead. Rather than getting upset, Gan Yang texted her and praised her for being adorable. However, this scene was seen by President Wang, who then ordered that Ding Zhitong’s schedule be fully booked with advisor work so she’d spend less time at the training box.
