Fell Upon Me Episode 10 Recap
> Fell Upon Me Recap
An Zhenzhen jolted awake in her bed, realizing she had been dreaming, a terrifying nightmare that felt real. The next morning, rain poured from the sky. Zhenzhen sat listlessly in the car, barely registering her father’s words. After arriving at school, she found a secluded spot and called Lao Jiang, asking about Qi Shuo’s sister, Qi Yan.
Lao Jiang revealed that while he was following Qi Shuo, he saw him pick up a child from a kindergarten, and the child called Qi Shuo "uncle." Zhenzhen immediately concluded that Qi Yan had a child, and that her father and Qi Yan were married, deepening her anguish. Elsewhere, Zhenzhen’s parents were discussing the situation, with her mother seemingly tired of the pretense, suggesting they tell Zhenzhen, but her father insisted on keeping it secret a little longer.
Back at school, Zhenzhen found Jiang Ling and confided in him about her family situation. She revealed that the shoes her father claimed were for her were actually from "that woman," and the necklace was also intended for her. Zhenzhen identified the woman as Qi Yan, Qi Shuo’s sister and her father's colleague, suspecting they had been having an affair for some time. She pleaded with Jiang Ling to help her confirm her suspicions with her own eyes.
Jiang Ling agreed, and they followed Zhenzhen's father and Qi Yan to a restaurant. Zhenzhen watched them, heartbroken, explaining to Jiang Ling that this particular restaurant was her family’s favorite place, a spot where they had shared many happy meals. Seeing her father and Qi Yan laughing and enjoying themselves in such a significant place shattered Zhenzhen's composure. She broke down, questioning why everything had changed and why nothing was as she had imagined.
Overwhelmed, she tried to flee but stumbled due to her foot injury. Jiang Ling, seeing her distress, urged her to leave. Zhenzhen and Jiang Ling missed evening self-study while tracking her father. Upon their return, their teacher, Liu Yaru, summoned them to her office. She expressed anger, having heard "things" about them, and asked if they were in a "premature relationship." Jiang Ling was dismissed first, told to write a self-criticism.
Liu Yaru then confronted Zhenzhen, emphasizing the negative impact their perceived relationship had on the class, urging her to focus on her studies and threatening to call her parents if the behavior continued. Zhenzhen insisted she had done nothing wrong, but the teacher warned her against any further distractions. Returning to the classroom, Zhenzhen called Qi Shuo out.
She asked if they were friends, then bluntly told him that his sister, Qi Yan, was her father’s mistress and a "homewrecker," accusing her of breaking up her family. Other students overheard, gossiping about Qi Shuo’s sister being a "mistress." Qi Shuo, shocked and defensive, demanded proof, stating his sister wasn't that kind of person. Zhenzhen countered, describing how she had witnessed Qi Yan and her father dining together, laughing and chatting, in her family's favorite restaurant.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Zhenzhen tearfully implored Qi Shuo, as her best friend, to tell his sister to stay away from her father and her family. Qi Shuo left school in distress and confronted Qi Yan, asking if the accusations were true. Qi Yan initially claimed she was only a colleague of Zhenzhen's father, not involved in the way he was suggesting.
When Qi Shuo pressed her about her boyfriend, Qi Yan promised that after the college entrance exam, she would arrange for him to meet her boyfriend. She then asked who told him, and Qi Shuo revealed it was An Zhenzhen. Qi Yan looked him in the eye, earnestly denying she was a homewrecker and pleading for his trust, reiterating her promise to explain everything after the exams. She apologized for neglecting him due to work.
Qi Shuo, visibly touched by his sister's sincerity, reassured her that she was the best person to him and promised to work hard, never to be a burden or let anyone bully her. Qi Yan, in turn, acknowledged his trust and suggested they go to a music festival for the upcoming holiday, successfully deflecting his anger and restoring his faith in her. Meanwhile, Jiang Ling, worried about Zhenzhen, discreetly followed her home to ensure her safety.
After seeing Zhenzhen was safe, Jiang Ling returned home. His aunt informed him that his father had sent money, but Jiang Ling remained nonchalant about it, leaving soon after. Years later, in 2024, Lao Jiang approached Qi Shuo, who was sleeping on a park bench. Lao Jiang, feigning an interest in gathering material for a story, steered the conversation toward An Zhenzhen’s father. Qi Shuo reacted with anger at the mention of the man.
Lao Jiang pressed for details, claiming he needed to understand the "female lead's family background." Qi Shuo bitterly stated that Lao Jiang could just write him off as a "jerk." He recounted how his sister became the subject of widespread gossip because of her relationship with Zhenzhen's father, lamenting that during those years, Qi Yan "never had a single good day." Back in the present, An Zhenzhen entered an empty classroom.
Her mind replayed the painful images of her father and Qi Yan together. She found a bottle of water on a desk, unscrewed it without hesitation, and drank, overwhelmed by a deep sense of loss and pain, unsure of how to cope with her shattered reality.
