Fall In Love With A Scientist Episode 16 Recap
> Fall In Love With A Scientist Recap
Bai Lingling received a note from her father and stepmother indicating they had left the banquet. She rushed out but was too late, as they were already gone. Meanwhile, at the ongoing banquet, Guan Xiaoyu was eager to approach her idol, Tang Haojun, the editor. Ouyang Yifan, teasingly, offered to introduce her if she agreed to be his girlfriend.
He then walked over to introduce Tang Haojun, mentioning that he lived next door, but when asked if Guan Xiaoyu was his girlfriend, Ouyang Yifan quickly denied it. Furious, Guan Xiaoyu stormed off to complain to her grandmother. Yang Lanhang’s mother informed him that Director Shi of Jiahua Group had left early due to an emergency and asked her to look after his daughter, but she couldn't recall who his daughter was.
She also mentioned that Director Shi had specifically referred to Yang Lanhang. Later, Yang Lanhang received a message from Ouyang Yifan, detailing a confession plan: Ouyang Yifan would play the piano, a spotlight would shine on Bai Lingling, and Yang Lanhang would then confess his feelings and reveal his identity as "Forever is for Ever" from the "Gate of Heart" online forum.
Yang Lanhang closed his eyes, imagining the lights dimming, himself walking towards Bai Lingling, and confessing that he hoped she would forgive his cowardice and lack of confidence, admitting he was indeed "Forever is for Ever." His phone rang, abruptly pulling him back to reality – there was an emergency in the lab. Bai Lingling quickly took off her high heels, and rushed back with Yang Lanhang and Ouyang Yifan.
As Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling left, the spotlight, following Ouyang Yifan's original plan, shone on Guan Xiaoyu's location. Ouyang Yifan, seizing the moment, played a piano piece. He announced that the melody was a love song written by the famous musician Schumann to his beloved, a song he swore to play only for his most cherished person.
He then confessed his feelings for Guan Xiaoyu, admitting his past cowardice and lack of seriousness, where he had feigned indifference to avoid losing. Now, he realized his mistake and declared that he was willing to be defeated by her, as long as they were together. The audience erupted in applause, and Guan Xiaoyu was visibly moved.
After the banquet, as Guan Xiaoyu was seeing her grandmother off, her grandmother praised Ouyang Yifan, saying that his public confession demonstrated his sincerity and willingness to be scrutinized. Guan Xiaoyu felt a warmth in her heart. However, upon returning to the banquet hall, she saw a guest approach Ouyang Yifan to ask for the piano sheet music. Ouyang Yifan casually dismissed it as "just a random play," adding that "80 percent of people don't even know Schumann.
Why are you being serious?" Guan Xiaoyu angrily confronted him, accusing him of never speaking a single truth. Ouyang Yifan, in response, admitted he had only made up the initial story about Schumann to make his opening more impactful. Back at the lab, the experimental monkey, Zoey, suffered a sudden medical deterioration. Doctor Li explained that emergency surgery was not advisable due to Zoey's heart and lung condition, with a high risk of not waking up from anesthesia.
He recommended conservative treatment, suggesting that if Zoey survived the night, there would be a 50% chance of recovery. He proposed first implanting a bioprosthetic valve, and then performing a micro-invasive replacement once the tissue valves were fully grown. The team decided to take turns watching over Zoey for the night, with Zhang Yian taking the first shift. Yang Lanhang meticulously cleaned and bandaged Bai Lingling's sprained ankle, apologizing for rushing out too quickly after receiving the emergency call.
Bai Lingling reassured him, explaining she understood the importance of his research and the urgency of the situation. She then revealed that she had sprained her ankle while chasing after her father earlier. Bai Lingling confessed she felt she had to hate her father for abandoning her mother, which she believed led to her mother's depression and eventual death. She felt that not hating him would be a disservice to her mother's memory.
She recounted secretly visiting her father once, seeing him tirelessly loading and unloading a truck in the scorching summer heat, with her stepmother by his side, offering water and wiping his sweat. At that moment, she realized her stepmother was not merely an idler but someone who had endured hardships alongside her father.
Yet, returning home to her mother, she was filled with sorrow, thinking that her mother, too, was capable of enduring hardship, so why did they have to separate? She cherished childhood memories of her father telling stories and taking her to the park, wondering why they couldn't have just held on a little longer.
Yang Lanhang gently told her that everyone has their own life, advising her not to carry burdens that weren't hers, nor to let external factors cloud her true emotions. He encouraged her to smile at her father the next time she saw him, explaining that a father would always protect his daughter's smile. Yang Lanhang then offered her a book on biodegradable stents, with his own annotations.
As he gave her the book, a high school photo of Bai Lingling unexpectedly fell out. Flustered and unsure how to explain, Yang Lanhang impulsively kissed Bai Lingling. The next morning, Zoey had survived. Bai Lingling returned home, her mind in turmoil, wanting to discuss the incident with Guan Xiaoyu but unsure how to begin. Guan Xiaoyu, too, had her own worries she wished to confide but couldn't articulate.
Ouyang Yifan confronted Yang Lanhang for abandoning their confession plan, resulting in Ouyang Yifan being forced to confess and subsequently rejected, leading to his parents' disapproval. Yang Lanhang gloomily revealed he had kissed Bai Lingling but hadn't confessed his identity, and she seemed to be avoiding him. Ouyang Yifan criticized Yang Lanhang's impulsive "jerk" behavior and urged him to confess his identity to Bai Lingling as soon as possible, emphasizing "leniency when you confess and strictness when you resist."
Deeply troubled, Bai Lingling struggled with how to explain her kiss with Yang Lanhang to her online boyfriend. She sent "Forever is for Ever" a breakup message. Yang Lanhang, intending to clarify the situation, was caught off guard by the breakup message. He desperately tried calling her, but she didn't answer and then turned off her phone, leaving him helpless. A month later, Doctor Li met with Bai Lingling to discuss her grandmother's potential participation in the clinical trials.
He informed her that Zoey had successfully undergone surgery and passed the observation period, soon to be returned to the zoo. Furthermore, the animal trials for the new tissue valve material were a success, and they were ready for clinical trials. However, after discussing with hospital leadership, Doctor Li stated that while Bai Lingling's grandmother had psychological trauma from her mechanical valve implant, the mechanical valve itself was functioning perfectly, and her physical examinations showed no issues.
Therefore, as a doctor, he could not recommend a healthy patient undergo experimental valve replacement. He admitted that his previous promise was an oversight made to comfort an anxious elderly patient. Bai Lingling countered that this surgery was her grandmother's "only hope" for living, stressing its immense importance and how her grandmother's depression had just begun to improve.
Doctor Li advised them to wait until the experimental material was successfully approved and formally released to the market, assuring them that at that point, no one could prevent the surgery. As Bai Lingling was asking Doctor Li further questions about Zoey's sudden illness, Yang Lanhang walked in. Bai Lingling quickly excused herself and hurried into the elevator, with Yang Lanhang pursuing her unsuccessfully.
Yang Lanhang then discussed with Doctor Li, explaining that Zoey's sudden illness had made him realize a significant flaw in their tissue valve that urgently needed improvement. Doctor Li was surprised by the uncanny similarity between Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling's observations, noting Bai Lingling's impressive scientific intuition despite her general background.
Observing Yang Lanhang's troubled expression, Doctor Li playfully guessed that Bai Lingling, like other girls, had confessed to him and been rejected, to which Yang Lanhang wryly responded that he wished such good things would happen. Later, Bai Lingling's colleagues expressed concern about the hospital's decision not to allow her grandmother to participate in the clinical trial, as it meant one less volunteer.
They lamented the difficulty in recruiting patients due to widespread skepticism towards new materials, noting that they still needed at least three more volunteers if her grandmother did not participate. Back home, Bai Lingling dejectedly told Guan Xiaoyu how she constantly talked when visiting her grandmother, fearing that in silence, she would hear the "ticking" sound of her grandmother's mechanical heart valve.
Guan Xiaoyu offered to write an article for them on her social media account to help promote the research. As Bai Lingling helped her find scientific materials, Guan Xiaoyu inadvertently stumbled upon Bai Lingling's photo inside the book Yang Lanhang had given her. Pressed by Guan Xiaoyu, Bai Lingling finally confessed to kissing Yang Lanhang.
She admitted she felt she had committed a "serious mistake" and was "not qualified to be with him," and expressed her intense confusion, constantly thinking of "Forever is for Ever" when with Yang Lanhang, and seeing Yang Lanhang's face when texting "Forever is for Ever." This "illusion" that they were the same person made her fear she was using Yang Lanhang as a substitute for her online boyfriend. Feeling this was unfair to both of them, she decided to give up on both relationships entirely.
