> Falling Into Your Smile Recap
After K's parents' visit to the ZGDX base and K's subsequent emotional breakdown, Tong Yao comforted him and then met with Chen Jinyang. Chen Jinyang revealed she had purchased Team YQCB and planned to host an e-sports carnival at their alma mater, Shengang University, to improve public understanding of professional gaming. Xiao Rui reluctantly agreed to let the ZGDX team attend when he saw Lu Sicheng's enthusiasm.
At the carnival, Tong Yao and Ai Jia answered student questions about their e-sports careers. Tong Yao clarified that her passion stemmed from her own dream, not just a boyfriend. Chen Jinyang spoke about her relationship with Ai Jia, emphasizing that love transcends hobbies and highlighting Ai Jia's dedication to her despite his demanding career. Another student asked Tong Yao about balancing gaming and academics, and she emphasized time management.
Ai Jia shared his struggles with parental opposition and his determination to succeed, regardless of the outcome. After the interview, Ai Jia reunited with his mother, Ms. Lin, who had been invited by Chen Jinyang. Ms. Lin expressed her newfound understanding and acceptance of Ai Jia's career choice. Ai Jia, Chen Jinyang, and Ms. Lin then left to visit Ai Jia's father.
Back at the ZGDX base, the team discovered online rumors and "evidence" of a romantic relationship between Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao. They teased Tong Yao relentlessly, and Lu Sicheng joined in, even admitting to having a crush on her. Tong Yao, annoyed, left the room. Later, at Jian Yang's Team CK match, Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao's presence caused a stir. They kissed publicly, enraging Jian Yang.
Back in their hotel room, Tong Yao complained about the backlash from the public display of affection. Chen Jinyang teased her about potentially marrying into wealth. Tong Yao worried about the impact on her gaming. Back at the ZGDX base, Lu Sicheng kissed Tong Yao on the phone to prove something to his mother, Mrs. Lu, who was planning a visit. Tong Yao grew anxious, and Lu Yue jokingly claimed his future status as Tong Yao's brother-in-law.
That night, Tong Yao was upset by negative fan comments. The next day, Mrs. Lu arrived at the base. Lu Sicheng took responsibility for publicizing their relationship, and Xiao Rui assured Mrs. Lu that the PR department had an emergency plan. The team's managers then agreed to release an official announcement about the relationship.
