> Forever and Ever Recap
Qin Wan was chatting with the elders of the Zhou family. Zhou Shengchen came angrily looking for Zhou Wenchuan, wanting to talk to him alone outside. Seeing this, the elders quickly said goodbye to Qin Wan and left. Zhou Shengchen suspected Zhou Wenchuan of secretly plotting against Shi Yi. Zhou Wenchuan argued profusely. In a fit of anger, Zhou Shengchen slapped him hard, then left in a huff. Qin Wan and Tong Jiaren rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhou Wenchuan wanted to settle the score with Zhou Shengchen. Qin Wan desperately held him back. Zhou Shengchen came to find Mei Xing. Mei Xing thought this incident was an accident, because the boatman was one of Lin Shu's people, and the servants in the house had basically been replaced by Lin Shu, so there shouldn't be any problems. Zhou Shengchen asked about Wenxing and only then knew that Zhou Wenxing was here recuperating.
Zhou Wenxing forced herself to get up and apologize to Zhou Shengchen, saying it was because Shi Yi saved her that she fell into the water and got sick. Zhou Wenxing wanted to personally apologize to Shi Yi. Zhou Shengchen couldn't refuse her and had to take her to see Shi Yi. Zhou Wenxing repeatedly apologized to Shi Yi. Shi Yi didn't blame her at all. Mei Xing tried his best to persuade Zhou Wenxing to leave.
Lin Fei reported the news of Grandma's illness to Zhou Shengchen. Zhou Shengchen rushed over to visit her immediately, then stayed to take care of Grandma for the whole night. Qin Wan witnessed Zhou Shengchen busy himself for the family in the past few days and felt grateful to him. Zhou Shengchen clearly stated that Shi Yi was also his family, hoping Qin Wan would treat Shi Yi kindly. Lian Sui cooked plain congee for Shi Yi.
Shi Yi didn't want to drink it. Zhou Shengchen added a quarter spoon of sugar, and only then was Shi Yi willing to drink it. Zhou Shengchen gave her a safety knot and asked for details about the whole process of her falling into the water. Shi Yi knew Zhou Shengchen hadn't rested well in the past few days, so she told him to lie down and sleep together. Zhou Shengchen quickly fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
Shi Yi carefully examined his handsome face, her heart filled with tenderness. Zhou Shengchen slept soundly until dark. Shi Yi wanted to see Grandma tomorrow. Zhou Shengchen told her to be mentally prepared, as Grandma might not recognize her anymore. Shi Yi was very sad. Zhou Shengchen took Shi Yi to see Grandma early in the morning. Upon entering, they met Qin Wan. Qin Wan's attitude towards Shi Yi changed greatly; she repeatedly expressed her gratitude and showed her concern.
Grandma was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. She mistakenly thought Tong Jiaren was pregnant. Qin Wan instructed Zhou Shengchen not to reveal that Tong Jiaren was not pregnant. Zhou Shengchen pulled Shi Yi inside. They saw Grandma holding Tong Jiaren's hand, asking her all sorts of questions. Zhou Wenchuan stood silently to the side. Grandma didn't recognize Shi Yi, so Zhou Shengchen introduced her. Grandma suggested that the four young people get together.
Zhou Shengchen quickly found an excuse to decline. Grandma explained the Three Admonitions for Gentlemen in detail, advising Zhou Shengchen and Zhou Wenchuan not to quarrel over external possessions. Both of them promised to get along harmoniously. Grandma wanted to give Shi Yi the family's heirloom eighteen-bead Buddhist rosary. Shi Yi explained that it had already been given to her last time.
Early the next morning, Qin Wan sent someone to invite Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen to have tea together. They were both surprised but still arrived on time for the appointment. Qin Wan asked about how Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen met and fell in love. Shi Yi admitted that she really liked Zhou Shengchen's lovely and simple personality, as well as his serious and responsible attitude towards work.
Qin Wan sharply pointed out that Shi Yi was not suitable for this large family; she couldn't handle complex interpersonal relationships. Qin Wan advised Shi Yi to leave Zhou Shengchen and return to her simple and easy life. She also told Shi Yi that Zhou Shengren's mother died in an accident back then, and she herself had been suspected and doubted. The Zhou family is too large, like a small society, with both good and bad people.
Only by being in it does one know how difficult it is. Zhou Wenxing and Tong Jiaren rushed over. Qin Wan quickly changed the subject, falsely claiming they were talking about Shi Yi's painting. Zhou Wenxing asked Shi Yi to paint a lotus flower on the spot. Zhou Shengchen offered to recreate that painting. He painted it vividly, and Zhou Wenxing liked it very much. However, Qin Wan saw that the artistic conception of the two paintings was different.
Zhou Shengchen composed a poem impromptu, and Shi Yi couldn't help but admire him. Zhou Shengren finally got permission to leave the old house after much effort. As soon as he returned home, he came to see Qin Wan, thinking it was Shi Yi's lotus painting. Qin Wan explained that it was Zhou Shengchen's painting, and she could also see perseverance and resistance in Zhou Shengchen's lotus. Shi Yi finally understood Qin Wan's formidable nature.
She felt intimidated by this family. Zhou Shengchen promised to be her strong backing. Shi Yi asked Lian Sui to prepare medicinal cuisine to nourish the body. Zhou Shengchen forced himself to drink it. Lian Sui, under the guise of bringing fruit, constantly went in and out of Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen's room. Lin Fei forbade her from disturbing the couple's private time.
Lian Sui kept saying she wanted them to quickly get through the honeymoon phase and enter the state of an old couple. That night, Zhou Shengchen was working in front of the computer. Shi Yi held a book and walked around distractedly. Finally, Shi Yi pushed Zhou Shengchen onto the sofa and they became intimate. Lian Sui suddenly burst in and called out to Zhou Shengchen. The two were startled and quickly separated. Zhou Shengchen learned from Lian Sui that Zhou Wenxing's condition had worsened. He explained the situation to Shi Yi, then followed Lian Sui out.
