Flourish In Time Episode 13 Recap
> Flourish In Time Recap
Su Daifei, upon hearing that Jiang Haoyue had someone he liked, immediately decided to seize the opportunity and make herself his destined partner. Soon after, a video circulated online showing Su Daifei at the old schoolhouse. In the video, she looked into a mirror and saw Jiang Haoyue's reflection, leading to widespread campus rumors that they were a match made in heaven. The school had a long-standing legend known as Bai Lin's Blessing, one of its seven myths.
It was said that during a blackout when the old schoolhouse was first built, some pranksters locked a senior named Bai Lin, who couldn't speak, inside a classroom. To seek help, she used a mirror to reflect moonlight. The light shone on a senior relaxing on the playground, who then rescued her, and their romance blossomed.
Ever since, the legend claimed that if you passed the old schoolhouse when moonlight illuminated its mirror, your destined person would appear in the reflection, and you both would receive Bai Lin's Blessing, ensuring you'd be together forever. Lu Miao and Xie Ziye did not believe in this myth. Xie Ziye explained it as "The Suspension Bridge Effect," arguing that the racing heartbeat caused by a scary environment is often mistaken for romantic feelings.
Despite this, rumors about Su Daifei and Jiang Haoyue being a perfect match spread. Believing Su Daifei was behind the video, Lu Miao decided to confront her directly. However, Su Daifei, with a friend, denied creating the video, claiming she had been terrified by the unexpected appearance of a person in the mirror that night. Later, Lu Miao noticed students gossiping about Jiang Haoyue eating with her, questioning if Su Daifei was truly his destined lover.
Jiang Haoyue, overhearing the gossip, advised Lu Miao to ignore the rumors, stating that myths were simply "made up by people." Meanwhile, Shi Che was still devising ways to win Lu Miao's affection. Inspired by the recent video incident, he concocted a new plan. He intended to propose an activity to explore the "truth" about the old schoolhouse, inviting Lu Miao to join. His friend, Chen Guoguo, would hide and act as a ghost to scare Lu Miao.
When she was startled, Shi Che would dramatically appear, rescue her, and win her over as her "hero who rides on the seven auspicious clouds." Shi Che's detailed conversation about this plan was, unbeknownst to him, overheard by Su Daifei. Lu Miao's mother also warned her against believing in campus myths, urging her to focus on facts and avoid becoming susceptible to lies. That night, Shi Che, Lu Miao, Xie Ziye, and Chen Guoguo arrived at the old schoolhouse.
It was indeed eerie. They found the main door locked, but Xie Ziye, using a hairpin, skillfully picked the lock. Once inside, they heard strange noises. Qu Wei, who was also at the schoolhouse, explained he had arrived earlier through an unlocked back door and discovered the noises were coming from a radio someone had set up. Lu Miao, noticing newly bought embroidered shoes and still-wet paint, deduced that someone had intentionally placed items to scare them.
Chen Guoguo, with disheveled hair, then made his pre-arranged ghostly appearance, startling Xie Ziye and Lu Miao. In the ensuing chaos, Shi Che seized someone, assuming it was Lu Miao, and ran off, pulling the person into a protective embrace. He began to confess his feelings, expressing that their "friendship could be taken to the next level." However, to his dismay, he discovered he had grabbed Xie Ziye.
Xie Ziye, amused by his "love confession when fleeing," chided him and threatened to expose his romantic novel reading habit, while Shi Che retorted with a threat to reveal that the principal's son was in love and repeatedly failed. Separated from the group, Lu Miao explored alone. Meanwhile, Jiang Haoyue, worried after Lu Miao's father mentioned she hadn't returned home yet, arrived at the old schoolhouse. He found Lu Miao's phone with a dead battery.
He then encountered Su Daifei, who was also at the schoolhouse, trying to avoid Qu Wei, who seemed to be following her. Su Daifei, scared, questioned Jiang Haoyue about the mirrored photo in her video, asking if he had used "mirroring" to process it and if he liked her a little. Jiang Haoyue calmly dismissed her assumptions, stating he didn't care for rumors and was only there to pick up Lu Miao, adding that Qu Wei would help her leave.
He then advised her to stop engaging in "such boring things." Jiang Haoyue found Lu Miao, who was terrified and disoriented. She asked him to lead her out with her eyes and ears covered, which he did, distracting her by reciting the digits of Pi. As they finally approached a mirror, Lu Miao looked into it, and Jiang Haoyue's reflection appeared as he stood right behind her.
He scolded her for sneaking out alone and worrying her parents, forbidding her from doing so again. Lu Miao asked if her father had sent him, but Jiang Haoyue confirmed her parents were unaware she was there. They then left the schoolhouse. Shi Che and Xie Ziye also safely exited the schoolhouse, just as a sudden rain began. Jiang Haoyue escorted Lu Miao home.
He explicitly told her that the strange noises she heard were intentionally created by Su Daifei and that the video of Su Daifei seeing him in the mirror was edited. Although Lu Miao accepted the video was fake, she admitted to still believing in the myth of destined lovers, because she felt she had "met hers." The next day, Su Daifei deleted all of Jiang Haoyue's photos from her phone.
She realized that while Jiang Haoyue had indeed opened his heart, it was only to Lu Miao, and she had no chance with him. It was better to give up than to pursue him endlessly. A video titled "Recording of the Ghost Event at No. 1 High School" soon went viral online.
Lu Miao, curious, watched it and realized it documented their exact experiences at the old schoolhouse the previous night, including the embroidered shoes, red handprints, a skull, Su Daifei crying, and Chen Guoguo's ghostly appearance. The group was puzzled, as they were all participants and no one among them had recorded it.
A flashback sequence then showed a younger Jiang Haoyue and another child playing on a set designed to look like the moon, with Jiang Haoyue's father setting up a camera to record them, playfully teaching them about the moon.
