> Resúmenes de A Love So Romantic
Gu Yanxi and Cheng Qianyu set off from the mansion, with Gu Yanxi simply nodding when Cheng Qianyu suggested, "Yanxi, let us go." Trailing behind them, Su Xiaowan and Ru Ying followed in another boat, using tree branches to obscure their faces while closely observing their every move. Su Xiaowan playfully chided Ru Ying to stop eating his breakfast.
When she pointed out how close Gu Yanxi and Cheng Qianyu were, complaining, "They do not have to come so close when they are talking," Ru Ying, already smitten, retorted, "Stay away from my Qianyu!" Su Xiaowan quickly shot back, "Your Qianyu? There is nothing going on between you." Ru Ying, undeterred, declared his hopes for progress that day, "Maybe something will happen between us today. Something is going to happen today. My Qianyu."
Su Xiaowan continued to bicker, playfully claiming Gu Yanxi as "mine." Ru Ying then announced their arrival. Meanwhile, Xin Ziqian arrived at Su Xiaowan's room, calling for "Wan'er" as he entered. He mentioned hearing about her punishment for getting drunk and having to copy Lessons for Women, expressing sympathy. He then revealed he had secretly brought her some snacks from the kitchen.
The figure in the room, pretending to be Su Xiaowan, responded with a small, trembling voice, claiming not to be hungry. Xin Ziqian grew suspicious, recognizing it was Qiu Xiang disguised as Su Xiaowan. He sternly demanded that Qiu Xiang tell him everything she knew.
At the same time, Lady Ru and her entourage were approaching, intending to check on Su Xiaowan's copying to find any fault that could be used to persuade Old Madam to expel her from the family. She openly stated her goal to a servant, believing that no matter how minor the mistake, it would be enough to get Su Xiaowan kicked out. Qiu Xiang confessed to Xin Ziqian that Su Xiaowan had gone out with Gu Yanxi and the others.
Although displeased by this, Xin Ziqian quickly realized Lady Ru was coming and leaped out the window to intercept her. He greeted Lady Ru, who was surprised to see him. Xin Ziqian quickly offered her her favorite White Jade Cakes from Heshun House and suggested they return to her room to enjoy them together. Lady Ru, touched by his rare gesture of filial piety, agreed, unknowingly averting her plan to expose Su Xiaowan.
Qiu Xiang expressed relief that Mr. Ziqian had come to her rescue. Cheng Qianyu, happy to be out with Gu Yanxi, expressed her gratitude for the outing. She suggested they sit at a small pavilion amidst luxuriant willows to eat and enjoy the view. Gu Yanxi silently agreed. She then offered him a variety of cakes she had brought: Mung Bean Cakes, Egg Yolk Puffs (which she knew were his favorite from Grandma), and Osmanthus Cakes.
Initially, Gu Yanxi remained distant, causing Cheng Qianyu to offer to leave if he was unhappy, as she only came because Grandma asked her to. However, Gu Yanxi finally tried an Osmanthus Cake, remarking that it tasted good. Su Xiaowan, frustrated, threw a stone at him. Cheng Qianyu was overjoyed, promising to make them for him often. Gu Yanxi seemed to sense Su Xiaowan's presence and, to her further annoyance, deliberately fed a cake to Cheng Qianyu.
Cheng Qianyu was visibly touched. This act was too much for Ru Ying, who, in an attempt to hit Gu Yanxi, accidentally struck a rich young man instead. The rich young man, flanked by his followers, immediately became aggressive, demanding an apology. Ru Ying tried to smooth things over by claiming his hand had an "intermittent convulsion" since childhood and could not be controlled, offering profuse apologies.
Gu Yanxi intervened, questioning Su Xiaowan and Ru Ying's presence before trying to de-escalate the situation, telling the rich young man that his friend had apologized and he didn't appear hurt, asking him to "let it go." However, the rich young man refused, taunting Gu Yanxi about bringing "helpers" and ordering his men to attack. As the fight escalated and reinforcements arrived for the rich young man, Gu Yanxi realized they were outnumbered.
He grabbed Su Xiaowan's hand and urged her not to fear, telling her to run as they couldn't win against so many. Cheng Qianyu reached out for Gu Yanxi, but he had already taken Su Xiaowan. Ru Ying then quickly grabbed Cheng Qianyu's hand, assuring her, "Do not worry. I am here to protect you. As long as I am with you, I will not let anyone take advantage of you."
Gu Yanxi and Su Xiaowan fled to a boat, concealing themselves under reed mats to evade their pursuers. As they lay hidden, their faces close, a moment of passion arose, but they were interrupted by the boatman. He accused them of using his boat for daily trysts and causing damage, demanding compensation. Su Xiaowan denied it, but the boatman insisted he caught them "in the act" and threatened to report them if they didn't pay.
Gu Yanxi paid the boatman generously, who was thrilled, even promising them exclusive use of the boat if they returned. As they left, the boatman shouted his well wishes for them to have children, much to Su Xiaowan’s chagrin. Gu Yanxi brushed it off, urging Su Xiaowan to leave before they attracted more attention. Meanwhile, Cheng Qianyu sprained her ankle while running with Ru Ying. Ru Ying, noticing her injury, insisted on examining it, telling her, "I am a physician.
Do not play tough. Sit down. Let me give you a check." While tending to her ankle, he attempted to learn her preferences, asking about her favorite colors, fruits, and ideal man. After successfully resetting her joint, he warned her not to move it to prevent another dislocation. Ru Ying then offered to carry her, despite Cheng Qianyu's concern about her weight.
He awkwardly reassured her, saying he had carried sunstruck men who were heavy as stones, then correcting himself that two girls like her weren't as heavy as one of those men. She agreed, and he lifted her onto his back. As they continued, Cheng Qianyu asked if he could manage, to which he enthusiastically replied, "I can. Just call me Ru Ying." They soon encountered the rich young man's gang again.
Ru Ying put Cheng Qianyu down, telling her to run while he faced them. He boldly declared that he was responsible for everything and that anyone who touched Cheng Qianyu was not a man. He then unleashed his "poison," causing the gang members to writhe on the ground. Ru Ying, lost in a daydream, imagined Cheng Qianyu calling him a hero and kissing him, but Cheng Qianyu's voice jolted him back to reality.
He quickly picked her up and carried her away while the gang was still incapacitated. Gu Yanxi, anticipating Ru Ying's strategy, reassured Su Xiaowan that Ru Ying, despite lacking martial arts skills, always carried self-defense drugs and would seize the "hero saves the damsel in distress" opportunity he had been waiting for. Gu Yanxi and Su Xiaowan later arrived at a bustling street, where Su Xiaowan's attention was caught by a sugar painting stall.
Gu Yanxi chided her for buying so many things just to watch a meteor shower, but she explained she wanted him to try commoners' snacks. Discovering she only had one cent, Su Xiaowan proposed a deal to the old man: she would make eight sugar paintings for him to sell in exchange for one for herself. The old man, observing Gu Yanxi's fine clothes, expressed skepticism about their lack of money.
Su Xiaowan quickly concocted a story, claiming to be Gu Yanxi's concubine, whose money had been confiscated by his first wife, hence their current predicament. The old man, taking pity, agreed. While Su Xiaowan was busy making a unique sugar painting (a cat with a dog's tail, signifying friendship between traditional enemies), Gu Yanxi discreetly handed the old man a sum of money, asking him not to tell Su Xiaowan.
However, the old man misunderstood, believing Gu Yanxi was hiding private funds from his "first wife." As they departed, the old man warned Su Xiaowan to "open your eyes wide and see the truth" about men, whose thoughts can be well-hidden. Su Xiaowan, curious, questioned Gu Yanxi about his private conversation with the old man, but he dismissed her inquiries. Finally, Gu Yanxi and Su Xiaowan reached a scenic spot. Su Xiaowan suggested they watch the meteor shower there.
She then recounted a Western legend: holding hands and making a wish during a meteor shower makes it come true. Gu Yanxi, ever the pragmatist, dismissed it as a "groundless folktale," finding such beliefs "boring." Su Xiaowan argued that living without belief was equally boring and teased him, "If I tell you my wish, will you fulfill it?" Gu Yanxi deflected, reminding her that her greatest wish—to see a meteor shower—was about to be fulfilled.
Looking at the sky, Su Xiaowan then made her true wish aloud: "My wish is for my love to love me back." Gu Yanxi questioned her, "You are young. Do you even know what love is?" Su Xiaowan confidently declared she did.
She described love as the complex mixture of emotions she felt with him: the anger when he took her food, balanced by his late-night efforts to help her with account books, giving her peace of mind; the security she felt knowing he would always protect her; and the tenderness she felt for his occasional helplessness, despite his usually cold demeanor. " Everything in life feels sweet to me when I am with him.
Because he is with me, I am fearless," she concluded. Then, looking directly at him, Su Xiaowan confessed, "Gu Yanxi, I love you. I want to be with you. I want to cling to you. I want us to be together all the time." As Gu Yanxi gazed deeply into her eyes and grasped her arms, a magnificent meteor shower began to fall across the night sky.
