Flourish In Time Episode 18 Recap
> Flourish In Time Recap
As the first year of high school ends, students prepare to enter different classes based on their choices of liberal arts or science. Xie Ziye is the only one among her close friends to choose science, while Guo Guo, Shi Che, and Lu Miao all opt for liberal arts.
During a farewell dinner, Xie Ziye expresses her mixed feelings, admitting that while she has always been a top student, she cherishes the experiences and happiness she found with Lu Miao, Shi Che, and the others. She emphasizes the importance of their friendship, hoping it will last a lifetime, even as they pursue different academic paths. As the new semester begins, Lu Miao and Shi Che perform poorly in the assessment test.
Principal Shi speaks with his son, Shi Che, urging him to focus on his studies. However, Shi Che remains determined to pursue sports, leading to a bet between them. If Shi Che can rank within the top 200 in liberal arts in the next exam, his father will support his decision. Lu Miao's homeroom teacher informs her mother about her poor grades.
Enraged by her daughter's academic performance and the fact that she hid it, Lu Miao's mother confronts her at school. Lu Miao seeks refuge behind Jiang Haoyue, who attempts to mediate the situation, advising Lu Miao to take her studies more seriously. However, Lu Miao is more concerned about avoiding a beating when she gets home. Lu Miao's mother visits a shopping mall intending to buy lipstick, but after receiving news of another unsuccessful job interview, she leaves empty-handed.
She receives a flyer for tutoring services and decides to enroll Lu Miao. However, she discovers her bank card is empty when attempting to pay. This leads to a heated argument with Lu Miao's father about the missing money. Feeling responsible for her parents' conflict due to her poor academic performance, Lu Miao calls Jiang Haoyue and asks for his help with tutoring. The next day, Shi Che hears about the tutoring sessions and insists on joining.
One evening, while Lu Miao is away, her parents argue again. Her mother believes that Lu Miao's father has been using their money to support Jiang Haoyue, which angers her because she feels he is neglecting their own daughter's needs. Lu Miao's father defends his actions, stating that his responsibility to Jiang Haoyue outweighs the importance of money.
Unable to resolve their differences, Lu Miao's mother threatens divorce and leaves to care for her ailing father, putting their argument on hold. The tutoring sessions begin, with Jiang Haoyue helping Lu Miao and Shi Che memorize their textbooks. After weeks of studying, both students significantly improve their grades on the second monthly exam. Lu Miao even manages to rank within the top fifty in liberal arts, which she happily shares with her mother over the phone.
Her mother asks Lu Miao if she'd like to live with her alone. Meanwhile, Shi Che wins his bet with his father and celebrates by making his father write his name backward; he also gets his father's permission to pursue his dream of attending sports university.
