Fall in Love Episode 4 Recap
> Fall in Love Recap
After Fu Zeyi returned home, he left a message for his other personality, Lin, stating that he had dismantled all of Lin's previous actions. With Jing Zhixia now also set to leave, he sternly told Lin not to act recklessly again. Enraged, Lin took control, drove off in a car, and nearly plunged off a cliff. Fortunately, a police officer saved him, pulling him out just as the car fell.
The officer, still shaken, reprimanded Lin for reckless driving, speculating he might have been drunk and noting how his car had veered into a guardrail after scraping hers. When she mentioned having called the police, Lin quickly persuaded her not to press the matter. Later, Fu Zeyi, back in control, was furious at Lin’s suicide attempt and angrily confronted his reflection, demanding that Lin reveal himself. The next day, Fu Zeyi, still furious with Lin, confided in his assistant.
He wondered why Lin, who had not made any aggressive moves during his previous appearance, had tried to self-destruct this time. When his assistant mentioned that Jing Zhixia had resigned from Aizhe Hotel and was scheduled to leave that day, Fu Zeyi concluded that Lin's erratic behavior was tied to her departure. He then decided to keep Jing Zhixia by his side, believing that this would appease Lin and prevent further interference with his plans.
As Jing Zhixia was preparing for her flight, she received a call from Fu Zeyi asking to talk, but she brusquely refused. She then fell asleep and dreamt of balloons floating outside the plane, bearing messages like "Jing Zhixia, I love you, please stay." Many passengers in her dream looked on with envy as Fu Zeyi appeared with flowers and proposed with a diamond ring, inciting cheers for her to accept.
Just then, a flight attendant woke Jing Zhixia, revealing that her romantic encounter was merely a dream. The attendant informed her that a gentleman was waiting for her up front. Fu Zeyi then approached Jing Zhixia, coldly informing her that she could not leave because their contract was not yet fulfilled. He asserted that leaving would be a breach of contract, even though Jing Zhixia insisted she hadn't signed anything.
Fu Zeyi presented her with a Debt Moratorium Agreement, explaining that her uncle had signed it on her behalf. The agreement stipulated that Aizhe Hotel had to provide one month of service to The Fu Group to defer its debts; otherwise, The Fu Group would sue Aizhe Hotel. Jing Zhixia protested, listing her lack of legal knowledge, her idleness, and Ai Xin's competence as reasons why she couldn't fulfill such a role.
Fu Zeyi dismissed her concerns, stating they would discuss it further in her office tomorrow. He also announced that he would be working at Aizhe Hotel and commandeering her office for the duration. Back home, Jing Zhixia recounted the events to Jian Bufan, who was surprised to see her back from her supposed vacation. She expressed her frustration over Fu Zeyi blackmailing her into working for The Fu Group for a month.
Jian Bufan, after hearing about the terms, jokingly suggested that Fu Zeyi probably had a crush on her, likening his actions to a boy teasing a girl he likes. Jing Zhixia scoffed at the idea, vowing to endure the month of service and leave immediately once the contract expired. The following day, Jing Zhixia arrived at her office at Aizhe Hotel, finding it already filled with Fu Zeyi's belongings. She questioned him about his intentions.
Fu Zeyi explained that The Fu Group planned to build a new business district, including a hotel, and he wanted her expertise as a hotel operator. Jing Zhixia noticed a blueprint for the new district, which seemed to omit Aizhe Hotel despite being located nearby. Fu Zeyi, irritated by her looking through his papers, curtly told her that her workspace was now outside the office, as it was now his.
He then assigned her the urgent task of submitting a hotel operations case study report by the end of the day, threatening Aizhe Hotel's future if she failed. Jing Zhixia, though annoyed, agreed to the task. Later, as Jing Zhixia tried to leave after submitting the report, Fu Zeyi stopped her. He demanded another comprehensive case study on all five-star hotels nationwide by the end of the day, effectively forcing her to work overtime.
Jing Zhixia argued that she would willingly work overtime if her efficiency was low, but since it was past working hours, she would deliver the new report the next day. Fu Zeyi, however, pointed out there was still one minute before the official closing time. Just as she was about to start, Ai Xin brought Jing Zhixia another set of "disorganized" evaluation reports from Fu Zeyi. Ai Xin offered to help, but Jing Zhixia declined, telling her to go home.
As she left, Ai Xin commented that she would never force others to work after hours. Jing Zhixia, exasperated by the immense pile of scattered papers, cursed Fu Zeyi under her breath. Fu Zeyi himself worked late into the night. He saw Jing Zhixia, exhausted, asleep on the floor. Feeling a pang of concern, he covered her with his jacket. In her sleep, Jing Zhixia mumbled Lin's name and reached for Fu Zeyi, mistaking him for Lin.
This gesture sparked a feeling of affection in Fu Zeyi, and he lay down beside her, eventually falling asleep. Later that night, the police officer who had rescued Lin visited the hotel, inquiring about Fu Zeyi, still believing him to be the man she saved. She asked if he was feeling better, but Fu Zeyi claimed not to know her. The next morning, Fu Zeyi left after waking up, sending Ai Xin to deliver breakfast to Jing Zhixia.
Jing Zhixia, surprised to find herself on the office floor, recalled dreaming of Lin. She was further annoyed when Ai Xin told her that Fu Zeyi had gone home to change and now expected her to drive over and pick him up. Meanwhile, Jian Bufan, also at Aizhe Hotel, saw Ai Xin and decided it was his chance to reconnect with her. He tried various ways to make her remember him, including pretending to play basketball in the lobby.
Ai Xin revealed that she had remembered him all along, much to his delight. However, his happiness was short-lived when Ai Xin introduced her fiancé, Ma Shixian, crushing Jian Bufan's hopes. Jing Zhixia, who happened to be nearby, overheard Jian Bufan's lament about Ai Xin getting married, though she was too preoccupied to fully process it.
Jing Zhixia, still grumbling about Fu Zeyi making her work overtime and act as his personal driver, received a call from him demanding she pick him up immediately from the hotel entrance. She reluctantly complied, only for Fu Zeyi to get into the driver's seat, announcing they were going to The Fu family's residence. Jing Zhixia reiterated that she would not participate in The Fu family's meeting, but Fu Zeyi simply stated he had other tasks for her there.
