Forever and Ever Episode 23 Recap
> Forever and Ever Recap
Zhou Wenxing was going to Shanghai for medical treatment. She was worried she might not return, so she asked the butler to push her to the backyard to appreciate the mountain scenery. Seeing the view moved her deeply, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Mei Xing didn't want Zhou Wenxing to go to the front entrance in a wheelchair, so he carried Zhou Wenxing and helped her into the car.
Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen came to Wang Man's siblings' studio to try on wedding dresses. The mother-in-law revealed that Zhou Wenchuan and Wang Man were together and that Wang Man was pregnant with Zhou Wenchuan's child. Zhou Shengchen already knew about this, but Shi Yi was very surprised. The mother-in-law came to the hospital to see Zhou Wenxing, encouraging her to face it bravely.
Mei Xing was busy running around handling procedures, asking the doctor about Zhou Wenxing's condition, and giving the test reports to Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi to look over. Zhou Wenxing wanted to see the mother-in-law off and also go downstairs to sunbathe, so Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi pushed her out for a stroll. Zhou Wenxing wanted to have the surgery and be discharged before her birthday. Shi Yi firmly believed she would get better soon.
Zhou Wenxing casually mentioned that Mei Xing liked poetry and prose, and she wanted to learn these things to suit his taste but couldn't grasp the knack. Zhou Wenxing asked Zhou Shengchen about how many girlfriends Mei Xing had dated, but Zhou Shengchen was completely unaware of this. Zhou Wenxing advised Zhou Shengchen to make the wedding a little grander, saying she wanted to attend. Zhou Shengchen didn't care about these things; he only wanted Zhou Wenxing to be healthy.
Zhou Wenxing teased Zhou Shengchen for not understanding romance and felt it was unfair to Shi Yi. Shi Yi could tell that Zhou Wenxing liked Mei Xing. Zhou Shengchen knew that Mei Xing wanted to find a relationship where both parties were willing, rather than a one-sided unrequited love. Zhou Wenxing was watching a horror movie from her hospital bed, and she screamed repeatedly in fear.
Mei Xing didn't want her to watch this kind of movie, so he stayed with Zhou Wenxing on the sofa next to her. Shi Yi saw Zhou Shengchen off to work in the morning and asked about the specific date of the wedding banquet.
Although Zhou Shengchen had already set the date, Zhou Wenxing's health always made Shi Yi feel uneasy, so she wanted to wait until Zhou Wenxing's surgery was over before notifying relatives of the specific wedding banquet date. Shi Yi came to find Hong Xiaoyu and learned that Hong Xiaoyu and Du Feng's relationship was getting better and better. Hong Xiaoyu was curious about how she got along with a bookworm like Zhou Shengchen.
Shi Yi liked Zhou Shengchen's simple and honest personality. The butler came to the hospital to take care of Zhou Wenxing. Mei Xing had to go to work. Zhou Wenxing was reluctant to see him go and asked him to come back soon. She also gave him a bottle of hangover remedy. Mei Xing promised to visit her after he was done with work. Zhou Wenchuan brought Wang Man to see Zhou Wenxing.
Zhou Wenchuan asked Wang Man to wait outside, and he went into the ward alone to accompany Zhou Wenxing. Yanyan came to ask Shi Yi for help tuning her guzheng. Shi Yi played a piece casually, and Zhou Shengchen was captivated. Shi Yi checked the strings and found they were loose, promising to tune it for Yanyan as soon as possible. Zhou Shengchen suddenly received notice that Zhou Wenxing was critically ill. He quickly took Shi Yi to the hospital.
From Dr. Lin, he learned that Zhou Wenchuan had unauthorizedly altered Zhou Wenxing's medical records, deliberately making her physical indicators unqualified, which prevented her from having surgery in time. Moreover, Zhou Wenchuan had a big argument with Zhou Wenxing, causing Zhou Wenxing to faint again due to extreme anger and stress. Fortunately, Dr. Lin arrived in time, discovered that Zhou Wenxing's indicators had been tampered with, and immediately called the police.
Zhou Shengchen learned the whole story and slapped Zhou Wenchuan hard. The police arrived shortly after and took Zhou Wenchuan away to take his statement. Qin Wan was worried that Zhou Wenchuan couldn't handle it and asked Zhou Shengchen to help him. Zhou Shengchen was already full of anger. He yelled at Qin Wan and then left in a fit of pique.
Actually, Zhou Wenchuan wanted to focus everyone's attention on Zhou Wenxing's surgery to cover up his problems with the accounts. Shi Yi was greatly surprised when she learned the truth. Zhou Shengchen truthfully told Mei Xing the whole story. Mei Xing was so angry he gnashed his teeth and smashed the teacup in his hand. Remembering the critically ill Zhou Wenxing made Zhou Shengchen feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He wanted to take a bath to relieve stress, but he still couldn't let go. Shi Yi felt heartache but didn't know how to comfort him, so she washed his hair for him and silently stayed by his side. Zhou Shengchen wanted to hug Shi Yi, so Shi Yi nestled with him in the bathtub.
Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi came to the hospital early in the morning and saw Mei Xing guarding outside the ward, having stayed up all night. Zhou Wenxing's condition was getting worse and worse, so Zhou Shengchen hurried in to see her. Shi Yi originally wanted to persuade Mei Xing to spend some quality time with Zhou Wenxing. Mei Xing was already prepared to take her away from the Zhou family after her surgery. Mei Xing apologized to Shi Yi for mentioning finding a wife using Ci poem titles, but Shi Yi didn't take it to heart at all.
