Falling Into Your Smile Episode 15 Recap
> Falling Into Your Smile Recap
Tong Yao, feeling bored, calls her friend Chen Jinyang. Chen Jinyang asks why Tong Yao didn't stop their captain, Lu Sicheng, from going on a blind date. Tong Yao explains that Lu Sicheng’s date is a 1. 72-meter-tall, overseas-educated finance master whose family is a business partner, and feels she is no match.
Chen Jinyang dismisses the master's degree, suggesting Lu Sicheng wouldn't care about her major, and teases Tong Yao about her height, joking that she should pray Lu Sicheng has a unique taste for shorter women. Tong Yao denies comparing herself, asserting she only wanted to gossip, leading Chen Jinyang to highlight Tong Yao’s own talent as the "Mulan of E-sports." Chen Jinyang then jokingly advises Tong Yao to jump under the sun after the rain to grow taller.
Soon after, Lu Sicheng returns to the base. Hearing his car, Tong Yao rushes downstairs. After a brief, slightly awkward exchange, she brightens when Lu Sicheng calls her over and hands her a box of octopus balls, her favorite. Lu Yue, seeing the food, also comes over, but Lu Sicheng, showing clear favoritism, hadn't prepared any for his younger brother. Lu Yue insists, managing to get some from Tong Yao's portion after some playful threats.
Lu Sicheng observes them, a slight smile forming on his lips. The team prepares for their next match against FNC. Before they take the stage, a promotional video and highlight reel is played on the big screen. To Tong Yao's horror, the screen unexpectedly shows a "Quote of the Match" segment featuring her. In the clip, she is seen complaining about a severe stomachache, vividly describing her need to "poop."
The entire audience erupts in laughter, while Tong Yao is mortified, wanting to disappear. Despite her embarrassment, and the manager jokingly praising her for getting the team on the trending topics, she is unable to be replaced and has to play. The game begins. Lu Sicheng sternly warns Tong Yao that if she gets killed even once, he will play her embarrassing "Quote of the Match" video on a massive TV for 24 hours.
From the outset, FNC’s Jungler, Kun, disregards his own jungle and instead repeatedly invades the mid lane, targeting Tong Yao. Kun’s Mannendake unleashes explosive early damage, constantly forcing Tong Yao to retreat to her tower. Despite attempts to counter-attack and her teammate K’s timely rescues, Kun’s relentless aggression, including multiple tower dives, leads to Tong Yao being killed repeatedly. Frustrated, Tong Yao exclaims that Kun has turned the mid lane into a "double lane" by camping her.
She expresses extreme annoyance and threatens to "vomit" if he appears again, while Lu Sicheng tersely tells her to "shut up." During a team fight over the Orochi, Tong Yao attempts to disrupt FNC, but Kun abandons the objective, vaulting over a wall to chase and kill her, even as K secures the Orochi for ZGDX. Despite Tong Yao accounting for half of her team's deaths, ZGDX gains an advantage, pushes aggressively, destroys FNC's crystal, and secures victory.
After the game, a visibly angry Tong Yao is asked by her teammates to reflect on the match. Suddenly, FNC’s Jungler, Kun, appears at their door. To everyone's surprise, he directly approaches Tong Yao, asking her to greet his fans on his live stream. Tong Yao reluctantly introduces herself. Kun then tells her that his fans think they are a good match, prompting Lu Sicheng to intervene, asserting that live streaming is not allowed there.
Before leaving, Kun boldly asks Tong Yao for her WeChat ID and scans her QR code. Watching this unfold, Lu Sicheng coldly questions Tong Yao if she is "collecting stamps," sarcastically remarking that Kun seems to have everyone's WeChat. Afterward, he dismisses her to recap the game's issues with the team. The next match begins, and the dynamics have shifted dramatically. This time, Lu Sicheng, clearly displeased by Kun’s earlier actions, relentlessly targets FNC’s Jungler.
Commentators note how Kun is having a terrible game, being chased and repeatedly killed by Lu Sicheng in the jungle. Tong Yao, no longer being singled out, now roams with Lu Sicheng, displaying a renewed, vengeful spirit. In one notable instance, Lu Sicheng kills Kun with a single, precise move. ZGDX dominates the team fights, quickly pushing into FNC's base and securing another victory.
As the ZGDX team prepares to leave, they find Kun waiting enthusiastically by their team bus, inviting them to dinner. Despite Lu Sicheng labeling him "out of control," Kun gets on their bus and attempts to sit next to Tong Yao. Lu Sicheng quickly intervenes, instructing Fatty to switch seats with him, thereby placing himself between Kun and Tong Yao. On the bus, Kun starts messaging Tong Yao, praising her gameplay.
Sensing his intentions, Tong Yao discreetly complains to Lu Sicheng that Kun is trying to flirt with her. Without hesitation, Lu Sicheng leans over and loudly declares in Korean, "She's my girl. Leave her alone, you brat!" Kun is utterly stunned. Lu Sicheng simply tells Tong Yao not to worry, assuring her that Kun won't bother her anymore.
Later, at dinner, Kun attempts to engage Lu Sicheng in a conversation about Tong Yao, pressing him on whether she is truly his girlfriend. Lu Sicheng unequivocally states that even if she isn't his woman now, she will be in the future. Kun, undeterred, argues that he believes in love at first sight, finds Tong Yao incredibly cute, and promises to treat her well, even giving her all the kills in future matches.
He vows to announce their relationship on social media to the world. Lu Sicheng, however, remains unyielding, calling Kun a "little brat" and reminding him of his past in Korea where he frequently changed girlfriends. Kun insists this time is different. As the discussion escalates, an exasperated Lu Sicheng raises his hand as if to strike Kun, firmly reiterating, "I told you, she's my girl."
Back at the table, Tong Yao kindly offers Kun a piece of grilled meat, but Lu Sicheng swiftly snatches it away before he can take it. The following day, Chen Jinyang invites Tong Yao to her newly rented five-star suite near the ZGDX villa. Chen Jinyang explains she decided to give her boyfriend, Ai Jia, another chance after he presented a compelling "life plan."
She suggests Tong Yao should move in, stating it would be easier for her to "assist" her. During their chat, Tong Yao plays a voice message for Chen Jinyang to translate. The message, clearly from Lu Sicheng, contains the forceful declaration in Korean: "She's my girl. Leave her alone, you brat!" Chen Jinyang translates the words, then teasingly asks if Tong Yao has been watching too many Korean dramas, before realizing the voice belongs to Lu Sicheng.
Tong Yao becomes visibly nervous yet slightly excited, while Chen Jinyang's curiosity is piqued. One day, while Lu Sicheng is showering, he receives a WeChat message from Su Luo, his blind date, informing him she bought front-row tickets for their Sunday game and wants to have dinner afterward. Annoyed, Lu Sicheng immediately confronts Lu Yue, demanding to know how Su Luo got his number.
Lu Yue confesses that their mother had given it to Su Luo, claiming he was threatened with having to inherit the family business if he didn't comply. Meanwhile, Lu Sicheng receives a message from Kun, challenging his claim about Tong Yao. Kun states that he will attend the weekend game to see if Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao are truly together, vowing to pursue Tong Yao if they are not.
Just then, Tong Yao appears, confronting Lu Sicheng about his Korean declaration on the bus. Feigning innocence, Lu Sicheng claims she misheard and quickly makes an excuse to leave. Later that night, Lu Sicheng is talking to Hierophant. Lu Sicheng comments that Kun has been "quite outrageous" lately and expresses a feeling of being watched. Hierophant dismisses it, jokingly suggesting it might be a ghost. Feeling uneasy, Lu Sicheng abruptly cuts the conversation short.
Moments later, Tong Yao emerges from her hiding spot, revealing she was the one secretly observing them and relieved she wasn't caught. The next morning, Lu Sicheng wakes up to find a heart-shaped breakfast prepared. Tong Yao appears, playfully adding that since he publicly claimed she was "his woman," she feels he should even inform her of his sock color. Lu Sicheng, in an uncharacteristically serious tone, replies that his socks are black.
Tong Yao then casually explains she made the breakfast for Da Bing, the team's cat, but since he didn't like it, she offered it to Lu Sicheng to avoid waste. Lu Sicheng happily begins to eat, and they share a comfortable moment. Before the upcoming match, Su Luo arrives at the venue carrying a strikingly large bouquet of roses, drawing considerable attention. From the stage, Tong Yao curiously observes the scene.
Lu Sicheng notices Tong Yao looking in that direction and, misinterpreting her curiosity, becomes jealous. He possessively grabs Tong Yao's head and turns her to face him, warning her that if she "flirts" again, he'll "French kiss" her in front of Su Luo to deter any thoughts. Tong Yao denies flirting, but Lu Sicheng insists she was. She asks him to release her, but he refuses, claiming Su Luo is still watching. When Tong Yao asks if his blind date would be jealous, Lu Sicheng states that he had already turned her down.
