Falling in Love with a Rival Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Wu Suowei was a poor loser, but he had a beautiful girlfriend, Yue Yue. However, Yue Yue felt that with her looks, finding a rich and handsome man would be a piece of cake. So, she broke up with Wu Suowei, and Wu Suowei was very sad and heartbroken. To make a comeback, Wu Suowei decided to start his own business, opening a breakfast stall selling millet porridge.
One day, while Wu Suowei was selling breakfast, the rich and handsome Chi Cheng (who was forced by his father to be a city management officer) and another city management officer saw him illegally setting up a stall to sell porridge. They poured beer into his porridge. Wu Suowei was very angry and splashed a pot of porridge at him, but it ended up splashing all over Chi Cheng. Chi Cheng was furious and chased him to beat him.
Wu Suowei ran to his good friend Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic and narrowly escaped. Guo Chengyu, Chi Cheng's childhood friend, accidentally stumbled into Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic for treatment. As a result, he got into an argument with Jiang Xiaoshuai, and Guo Chengyu left angrily. After breaking up with Wu Suowei, Yue Yue latched onto a wealthy man. But one time, she unexpectedly encountered Chi Cheng at a bar, and seeing how handsome and rich he was, she developed feelings for him.
Wu Suowei felt that selling breakfast was not profitable at all. So, he decided to change professions, performing "iron head kung fu" and busking on the street. As fate would have it, he encountered Chi Cheng again. Seeing him illegally setting up a stall again, Chi Cheng arrested him and took him to the city management bureau. The two finally had their first real interaction and had a very good chat together. Ever since Yue Yue developed feelings for Chi Cheng, she had been waiting for him at the bar. Finally, on this day, she met him and successfully seduced him.
Episode 2 Recap
Yue Yue successfully got together with Chi Cheng, just as she wished, thanks to her looks. Wu Suowei's stall was dismantled, and he sadly returned to Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic. At this moment, Guo Chengyu came to Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic, clutching his injured arm, and put down a wad of renminbi. Guo Chengyu saw him accept the money and showed a hint of disdain, thinking, "Who doesn't prioritize money nowadays?"
Jiang Xiaoshuai saw his attitude and was quite disdainful, so he gave him a forceful injection. Before leaving, Jiang Xiaoshuai only took the consultation fee he deserved and then let him take the remaining money with him. Wu Suowei saw Guo Chengyu frequently coming to find Jiang Xiaoshuai and knew in his heart that Guo Chengyu must have fallen in love with Jiang Xiaoshuai.
He suddenly thought that if he could make Yue Yue's boyfriend fall in love with him, he could get revenge. He really couldn't stand his girlfriend of so many years being with someone else. Jiang Xiaoshuai told him to calm down first and go investigate the other party's information. Jiang Xiaoshuai and Wu Suowei had plotted for a long time, preparing to make a move and try.
This day, Wu Suowei deliberately pushed a small tricycle in front of Chi Cheng's car, blocking his path. Chi Cheng saw it was him again, pushed the small tricycle away with one hand, then coolly turned and left. Wu Suowei asked Jiang Xiaoshuai if it was possible for him to attract Chi Cheng. Jiang Xiaoshuai saw how handsome he was and merely said, "Good luck to you."
In the evening, Wu Suowei challenged Chi Cheng to a basketball game, but was still easily defeated. Wu Suowei thanked Chi Cheng for helping him push his cart a few days ago, saying that was why he had been playing basketball here these past few days, waiting for him. He also gave him his favorite dried tofu.
Chi Cheng was very curious how he knew he liked eating dried tofu, and domineeringly told him to bite it open with his mouth. Wu Suowei pushed him away and left. Wu Suowei returned to the clinic. Jiang Xiaoshuai noticed a bruise on his buttock. After knowing that Chi Cheng was responsible for it, he felt very angry in his heart and helped him apply medicine. However, his hand lingered on his buttock for a long time.
This day, Wu Suowei came to the basketball court again to wait for Chi Cheng and gave him two candies. The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them grew stronger and stronger.
Episode 3 Recap
After Wu Suowei painstakingly pursued Chi Cheng for a long time, he decided to adopt an indirect strategy: first give him a few days of space, then let him become unbearably lonely and actively seek him out. Without Wu Suowei's presence and disturbance, Chi Cheng felt a void. He came to a "duck shop" to find a companion, but here he ran into his childhood friend, Guo Chengyu.
Guo Chengyu suddenly brought up Wang Shuo in front of him, but Chi Cheng impatiently told him to shut up. Chi Cheng had his driver begin investigating Wu Suowei's information. Then, he came to Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic, deliberately looking for trouble, and asked him why he suddenly stopped playing basketball. Wu Suowei indifferently replied that he didn't want to go. Chi Cheng angrily pushed him onto the bed.
To help Wu Suowei, Jiang Xiaoshuai told Chi Cheng that he hadn't gone to play because he had a cold and was afraid of infecting him. Chi Cheng believed it, thinking he was doing it for his own good, so he let him go. Next, Chi Cheng had his subordinates bring over a box of underwear suitable for Wu Suowei. Jiang Xiaoshuai, seeing Chi Cheng's thoughtfulness towards Wu Suowei, persuaded Wu Suowei to get together with Chi Cheng.
Wu Suowei, however, didn't care about the underwear he sent at all and even wanted to hang all of them online to sell. In the evening, Chi Cheng came to see Wu Suowei. He saw that Wu Suowei could actually blow sugar figures, so he asked him to blow a cobra for him, but the result was a botched job. Next, Wu Suowei asked Chi Cheng to meet him the next day to have a good talk.
It turned out that Wu Suowei wanted to seize the opportunity to capture Chi Cheng's heart. The next day, Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng went to the park together for a date. However, from beginning to end, Chi Cheng didn't say a single word, and Wu Suowei, on the other hand, didn't know what to say. When they were almost at the park entrance, Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng finally held hands. Just then, Yue Yue called.
Wu Suowei heard his ex-girlfriend's voice, suddenly gathered his courage, pretended to be jealous, and snatched the phone, but did not let go of Chi Cheng's hand. Chi Cheng grinned and secretly smiled.
Episode 4 Recap
Since that date in the park, Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng had not been in contact for a week. Chi Cheng finally couldn't hold back and came to the clinic to find Wu Suowei. As soon as he entered Wu Suowei's small bedroom, Chi Cheng pulled down his pants to see if he was wearing the underwear Chi Cheng had given him. Wu Suowei was very angry.
Then, he asked Wu Suowei to make a sugar figurine for his girlfriend, Yue Yue. Wu Suowei reluctantly blew a sugar figurine for him and left. A moment later, Chi Cheng came with a box of ointment and personally applied it to Wu Suowei's face. A strange feeling flashed in Wu Suowei's heart.
Jiang Xiaoshuai felt that Wu Suowei's progress was too slow, so he encouraged him to have more physical contact and not keep him hanging like this, otherwise, it would be too late. Chi Cheng was drinking alone outside, thinking of Wu Suowei. He called Wu Suowei and said he wanted to sleep with him. Wu Suowei, following Jiang Xiaoshuai's previous instructions, replied with "me too."
The next day, to Wu Suowei and Jiang Xiaoshuai's surprise, Chi Cheng and Guo Chengyu came to the clinic together. Wu Suowei looked at the way Chi Cheng was looking at him, and felt very scared inside. That evening, Jiang Xiaoshuai was worried that Chi Cheng would come to the clinic to cause trouble for Wu Suowei, so he stayed at the clinic. Chi Cheng indeed came that night.
He asked Wu Suowei when he started having desires for him, and Wu Suowei didn't know how to answer. The next day, Wu Suowei had two dark circles under his eyes and a long face, refusing to get out of bed. Jiang Xiaoshuai asked him what happened last night, and Wu Suowei told Jiang Xiaoshuai everything. Wu Suowei couldn't accept everything that happened yesterday. He had a high fever and dragged his body home to hide for a few days.
He left his phone with Jiang Xiaoshuai, asking him to help deal with Chi Cheng. That evening, Chi Cheng called Wu Suowei, but it was Jiang Xiaoshuai who answered the phone. Chi Cheng went to the clinic and found that Wu Suowei was indeed not there.
Episode 5 Recap
Chi Cheng took Yue Yue back to his parents' home, and Yue Yue had a very pleasant conversation with Chi Cheng's mother. Chi Cheng went to the clinic again to find Wu Suowei, coercing Jiang Xiaoshuai to reveal Da Tietou's whereabouts, and learned that Wu Suowei was in his hometown. Meanwhile, Wu Suowei had been at home these past few days intensively studying male-on-male knowledge. Chi Cheng paid him a visit.
The two went out for a walk, and using the threat of Wu Suowei resigning as an excuse, they shared a kiss. The next day, Wu Suowei returned to the clinic and, learning that the sugar figurine had been taken by Chi Cheng, angrily called to question him. In the evening, the two played basketball. Chi Cheng unceremoniously ate dougan (dried tofu).
When Yue Yue called, Wu Suowei, hearing it, immediately deliberately pounced on Chi Cheng, and the phone fell to the ground with a clang. Chi Cheng took out ointment and applied it to his forehead. Chi Cheng's invitation for him to come to his house was rejected. Later, Chi Cheng called Da Wei to flirt with him. Da Wei secretly watched Chi Cheng take Yue Yue out.
That evening, he blocked the entrance to Chi Cheng's residential compound and proactively went into Brother Chi's house for tea. As soon as the door closed, Chi Cheng's phone rang. He immediately kissed him, but just as they were about to proceed to the next step, he used hunger as an excuse to send him out.
Chi Cheng told him that he had only been to the supermarket three times in total: once to buy underwear for Da Wei, once when he went to Da Wei's house, and the last time just now, to buy him food. Then, naturally, that night. . .
Episode 6 Recap
Jiang Xiaoshuai told Wu Suowei about Chi Cheng, Guo Chengyu, and Wang Shuo's matters. Wu Suowei's mom praised Chi Cheng for being thoughtful, saying that everything he brought was practical. Wu Suowei invited Gangzi to ask about something, and learning that Chi Cheng wasn't targeting him everywhere because of Yueyue, he felt very guilty. Unknowing, he walked to Chi Cheng's doorstep, and as soon as he entered, he found something was wrong; the place was a complete mess.
Chi Cheng said he was in a bad mood and insisted on kicking Wu Suowei out. Wu Suowei stayed at the door and didn't leave, later he went inside. Chi Cheng, because it was Wang Shuo's birthday today, said a lot of heartfelt words. He asked if one could understand the feeling of smiling at one's love rival. Upon hearing this, Wu Suowei felt very sorry for Chi Cheng.
Episode 7 Recap
Wu Suowei woke up and told his master that Chi Cheng had no idea about him and Yue Yue, discussing whether he should continue with his plan. Yue Yue called to question him, warning him not to keep calling Chi Cheng. Jiang Xiaoshuai felt something was off; they hadn't been in contact for two days, so he urged Wu Suowei to call and check.
The moment Chi Cheng heard "do you want to talk about what happened that night," he immediately hung up. Wu Suowei found out that a batch of Chi Cheng's snakes had been seized by Chi Yuanduan at the military base. He thought Chi Cheng was using Yue Yue to reassure his family, believing that having a girlfriend would make things easier.
Da Wei (Wu Suowei) thought about it and, feeling very sorry for Chi Cheng, bought him a belt as a gift. Later, Chi Cheng came to the clinic, very happy to receive the gift. In the evening, he stayed at the clinic and didn't leave, making various small gestures on the single bed.
Episode 8 (Ending) Recap
Wu Suowei wanted to open an LED power lighting company. Chi Cheng thought it was feasible. Chi Cheng gave Wu Suowei a supplementary card for him to use as capital to open the company. Yue Yue sent a text message to Chi Cheng's mother, "Please control your son, I am a normal man." This made Chi Cheng's mother very anxious, so she immediately called Yue Yue to come over.
Chi Cheng took Wu Suowei, some industry figures from the LED sector, and some business professionals out for a meal. Wu Suowei asked Gangzi to give the supplementary card to Yue Yue. Yue Yue thought it was a breakup fee and happily spent over 200,000 yuan. Chi Cheng's sister showed Yue Yue's spending list to Chi Cheng's mother, who immediately developed a strong dislike. Chi Cheng helped Wu Suowei take care of various trivial matters for the LED company.
Wu Suowei and his master debated whether to continue his relationship with Chi Cheng. The final conclusion was, "If I'm with him, he'll be holding back his desire to get on top of me." Yue Yue met Wu Suowei, who was now dressed in a suit and no longer resembled the "poor nobody" he once was, and felt extremely regretful. Wu Suowei coolly dropped a line, "Because he is already with me."
Extra (Another way for you to counterattack) In the morning, Wu Suowei woke up in Chi Cheng's arms. Wu Suowei vehemently fussed in bed; he wanted to counterattack. Chi Cheng told him not to dwell on such impossible thoughts. Under his master's wise guidance, Wu Suowei understood that he needed to make himself desirable. One day, while waiting for Chi Cheng with Gangzi, he noticed Gangzi's Meitu phone and was very surprised.
Especially after taking a selfie, he found himself looking very "gong" (dominant). Oh dear, Wu Suowei secretly registered a Weibo account called "SOD Honey" and posted selfies. Unexpectedly, a girl got hold of Chi Cheng's phone, called it, and profusely confessed her liking for "SOD Honey." Afterwards, Chi Cheng discovered that Wu Suowei had become incredibly popular recently. While Wu Suowei was downstairs getting a package, Chi Cheng felt around the cabinet and discovered the "evidence" – the Meitu phone.
Fueled by rage, he forcefully turned off the lights. Despite Wu Suowei's own actions, he still looked aggrieved. Chi Cheng had no choice but to take selfies with his "disposable face" (sacrificing his image) to let Wu Suowei "counterattack" in another way.
