First Romance Episode 13 Recap
> First Romance Recap
Ding Ming was with the fuming Xiong Yifan helping her tidy the room. When she went out and came back, she mistakenly entered Bai Yuze's room. It just so happened that Bai Yuze was taking a shower, and startled, he immediately used a bath towel to cover his most important part. Ding Ming had never seen such a situation and thought Bai Yuze was deliberately acting like a pervert.
It wasn't until she instinctively grabbed something and hit his lower body that she calmed down. Bai Yuze was there for an outdoor photoshoot. Coincidentally, these classmates, entangled in "love, hate, and resentment," sat together, seemingly harmonious but inwardly discordant, enjoying lunch. Tang Tang was being attentive to Yan Ke and was also jealous that Yan Ke only had Xiong Yifan on his mind, yet no one was willing to escape the other's gaze.
The few of them sat together playing games, and if they could set everything aside, it was indeed a rare moment of youthful innocence. As night fell, heavy rain poured down. Ding Ming and Bai Yuze left after finishing their photoshoot, and she accidentally twisted her ankle. Bai Yuze looked at the pouring rain and was also worried about Ding Ming's injured ankle.
Disregarding the photography equipment in his hand, he carried her on his back and hurried towards the hotel. At the same time, Yan Ke braved the heavy rain to find Xiong Yifan, who couldn't return to the hotel. Their mutual concern created an ambiguous atmosphere, and Yan Ke finally spoke his expectation aloud. He hoped that Xiong Yifan could actively ask him to stay, without any worries, and should keep him by her side.
Tang Tang, who had come looking for Yan Ke because she couldn't wait for him, saw the intimate scene between the two. As the three walked, Tang Tang was like an extra person, walking alone in front. At the fork in the road, they ran into Bai Yuze carrying Ding Ming on his back. The few of them looked at each other, just as the meteor shower was continuously falling overhead.
What should have been the most romantic scene stopped at the most awkward moment. -- Xiong Yifan ran to the school rooftop in distress. Even though there was no one here, the walls were still covered with defamatory words about her, and there was nowhere to escape. She climbed onto the edge of the rooftop, tearing the flyers in her hand to shreds, but she couldn't shred the rumors.
Yan Ke, who had been secretly following Xiong Yifan, seeing that she was emotionally out of control, was afraid that she would do something to hurt herself. A week ago, Xue Lin deliberately took the lead, asking her roommates to beg Xiong Yifan to invite the school's two most popular guys at the same time. Xiong Yifan felt helpless but couldn't refuse.
Yan Ke originally had no intention of participating, but when he heard that Bai Yuze had readily agreed, he immediately followed suit. This was the first time Xue Lin had the opportunity to get close to Bai Yuze, so she immediately took the opportunity to curry favor with him, hoping to get a chance to meet him alone next time. Although Bai Yuze refused Xue Lin's request for his WeChat, he agreed to take a portrait for her.
On the day of the shoot, Xue Lin actually openly seduced Bai Yuze. If it had been in the past, he would not have refused a woman's advances, but now he resolutely rejected Xue Lin. Xue Lin felt she had lost face, but she inadvertently saw a photo of Xiong Yifan from high school on Bai Yuze's workstation, and a plan immediately came to mind.
Xue Lin posted the photo of Xiong Yifan dressed like a boy online and falsely accused Xiong Yifan of being a transgender person, and the post instantly became the most popular. The rumor that Xiong Yifan was a transgender person spread like wildfire in the school. Even her roommates had the idea of asking her to move out, and Xiong Yifan instantly became the object of everyone's ridicule.
Xiong Yifan had tried so hard to cater to others and integrate into the group, but her attempts to please others did not get her what she wanted. Instead, like now, she could be betrayed and ridiculed at any time. When Bai Yuze saw these online rumors, he immediately questioned Tang Tang, since he had only sent these photos to Tang Tang.
Tang Tang's openness and denial made Bai Yuze have to believe in her innocence, after all, even Tang Tang, her nemesis, would not believe such an outrageous rumor, and such tricks were not worthy of her attention. Yan Ke naturally would not sit idly by. He found out the IP address of the website, but because he was too honest, it was impossible for him to check the internet cafe's surveillance.
In the end, Bai Yuze used the excuse that he had lost his phone in the internet cafe and insisted on calling the police before the owner agreed to let him see the surveillance. The two rivals, facing foreign invasion, decided to stand on the same front and work together to find the mastermind. Xue Lin slandered Xiong Yifan online and even blamed Tang Tang, who was at odds with her.
Usually, when she interacted with her classmates, she deliberately pretended to be a good person, but secretly guided others to have negative views of Xiong Yifan. This scene happened to be heard by Tang Tang. She originally just disliked Xiong Yifan, but Xue Lin's kind of person made her feel disgusted. As Bai Yuze and Yan Ke checked internet cafes one by one, they finally saw Xue Lin's figure.
Bai Yuze recalled everything that had happened before and began to suspect that Xue Lin was the one behind the scenes. Yan Ke then realized that the photos had been leaked from him. But now the important thing was to clear Xiong Yifan's name, so Yan Ke did not delve into it. Unfortunately, they had no evidence, so they could not take action against Xue Lin.
The rumors about Xiong Yifan not only did not disappear with time, but became even more intense. Everywhere you could see her past photos being posted on the bulletin boards, and the walls of the rooftop were covered with various sarcastic remarks about Xiong Yifan, as well as unsightly parodies, which led to the opening scene.
However, although Xiong Yifan looked like a carefree boy on the surface, she was equally fragile at heart, but her fragility was not about being defeated by the outside world. How much criticism has Xiong Yifan faced since she was a child? She would be sad and upset, but she never thought about admitting defeat.
