Falling Into You Episode 5 Recap
> Falling Into You Recap
Duan Yucheng took his last jump, and like Liu Shan, he didn't clear it. The two tied. Wang Qilin stood up and said they wouldn't compete anymore, directly selecting Liu Shan to participate. Duan Yucheng was very dissatisfied, questioning Wang Qilin loudly and venting his frustration. Afterward, he went to lie down on the grass on the sports field by himself.
Luo Na knew he had put in a lot of effort for this selection trial and also knew he was unwilling to accept the result. So she told Duan Yucheng to go find Wu Ze. Wu Ze told him to put on his shoes and get on the track. His 100-meter results were good, second only to Huang Lin, directly bumping Zhang Hongwen out of the second spot.
Zhang Hongwen felt that Duan Yucheng had stolen his competition slot and sat alone in the stands, feeling gloomy. Jiang Tian accused him of making Luo Na difficult and said everyone was guessing how much Luo Na was charging Duan Yucheng. Duan Yucheng grabbed his collar in anger. Jiang Tian did not show weakness; he emphasized that in the track and field team, performance was everything. The two almost got into a conflict, fortunately stopped by another coach.
Later, Dai Yuxia told him that Luo Na was Jiang Tian's benefactor, so it was understandable that Jiang Tian would stick up for Luo Na. Luo Na showed Duan Yucheng's results to Wu Ze, her expression full of pride. Wu Ze wanted Duan Yucheng to train for the 100 meters with him, but Luo Na was reluctant. This time, Luo Na wanted Wu Ze to allow Duan Yucheng to participate in the 100-meter race.
Seeing Luo Na's face, Wu Ze agreed. For the next twenty-plus days, Duan Yucheng trained hard with Wu Ze. He wanted to achieve excellent results in the provincial university sports meet and silence some people. On the first day of the provincial sports meet, Luo Na sent Duan Yucheng in. Jiang Tian was outside; he always got nervous during major competitions. Luo Na comforted him, saying he just needed to compete with a calm mind.
Dai Yuxia told Luo Na to go in first, while she stayed to accompany Jiang Tian. Duan Yucheng's result in the 100-meter preliminary was outstanding. Although the two next to him were very strong, Duan Yucheng's心态 (mindset) was very stable, and he ran an eleven-second zero-five, securing first place in his heat. There was a woman in the stands who kept cheering for Duan Yucheng. When Duan Yucheng came down after competing, he awkwardly called that woman "Mom."
Wu Ze and Luo Na were stunned. This woman looked at most thirty years old, yet she had a son as old as Duan Yucheng. They wouldn't believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. Not long after competing in the 100 meters, Luo Na received news that Liu Shan was injured. Duan Yucheng and the others went over together. The doctor said that given Liu Shan's condition today, he absolutely could not participate in the competition.
Duan Yucheng was registered as a substitute, so Gao Mingshuo had no choice but to allow him to replace Liu Shan in the high jump competition. Duan Yucheng's mother saw Luo Na and immediately chatted with her enthusiastically. Her overly friendly manner made Luo Na a bit overwhelmed, but fortunately, Wu Ze called her over in time. The intensely competitive event began.
The first competitor out was Chen Haozhe, a top-tier athlete who had won three consecutive championships at the provincial university sports meet. He started jumping from two meters and cleared it smoothly. Gao Mingshuo called Jiang Tian and Duan Yucheng over, asking Jiang Tian to start jumping from two meters, while Duan Yucheng should be more conservative and start from one meter ninety-five. The format was that clearing two meters automatically qualified for the final.
Twelve out of thirty-seven athletes would advance to the final, which put some pressure on Jiang Tian and Duan Yucheng. Duan Yucheng cleared one meter ninety-five, while Jiang Tian was under too much psychological pressure. His first attempt at two meters not only exceeded the time limit but also failed. Later, Duan Yucheng successfully cleared two meters. Jiang Tian faced his second attempt at two meters, which also failed.
On his third attempt, he didn't even complete the jump motion and was eliminated at the bottom. Dai Yuxia was very worried about him and went up to him, telling him not to jump anymore. Jiang Tian cried bitterly, not understanding why he always fell short during competitions. Luo Na gave him time to think clearly whether he wanted to continue training or do something else. Duan Yucheng still had events later, so Luo Na told him to prepare well and not be affected.
