Forever and Ever Episode 8 Recap
> Forever and Ever Recap
Today was Shi Yi's engagement day. Zhou Shengchen and Lin Shu went to the new house and didn't have time to pick up Shi Yi, so they arranged for Lin Fei to pick her up. Shi Yi also had a charity recording to complete today, so she had to carry her suitcase to the recording studio.
Shi Yi was immersed in her voice acting work and couldn't pull herself away, she couldn't help but recall the past scenes from her acquaintance with Zhou Shengchen to their falling in love. After finishing the recording, Shi Yi quickly bid farewell to her colleagues. To her surprise, Zhou Shengchen and Lin Shu were already waiting for her downstairs. Shi Yi got into the car and returned to Zhenjiang with them.
Mei Xing packed his luggage and prepared to move to a hotel down the mountain. Before leaving, he came to Zhou Shengchen's new house, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Zhou Wenxing persuaded him to stay, but Mei Xing didn't want to be a third wheel here. Zhou Wenxing was reluctant for him to leave, and Mei Xing tried his best to cheer her up.
Zhou Wenfang accompanied Tang Xiaofu for a walk down the mountain, and Zhou Wenxing went with them. They happened to see Zhou Shengchen picking up Shi Yi. Zhou Shengchen was worried that Zhou Wenxing's health couldn't handle it, so he insisted she take the car home. Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi walked up the mountain hand in hand. Zhou Shengchen took Shi Yi to the restaurant for dinner. Zhou Wenxing, Zhou Shengren, Tang Xiaofu, and Zhou Wenfang kept them company.
Zhou Shengchen talked endlessly, telling Shi Yi the stories and preparation methods behind each dish. Shi Yi listened with great interest. Tang Xiaofu and Zhou Wenfang were already tired of the monotonous and suffocating life in the mountains, so they warned Shi Yi, but Shi Yi really liked the tranquility of the mountains. Qin Wan sent someone to inform Zhou Shengchen and others to be on time tonight to accompany relatives and friends to watch the last play.
She specifically requested that Shi Yi not attend. Zhou Shengchen was greatly puzzled, and Shi Yi didn't find it appropriate to ask too much. At the same time, Qin Wan invited Zhou Wenchuan and Tong Jiaren to have dinner with her and kept putting food into Tong Jiaren's bowl. However, Zhou Wenchuan brought up the matter of Zhou Shengchen specifically asking younger generation members to accompany Shi Yi for a taste test, which he didn't appreciate at all.
Qin Wan also felt indignant. Lian Sui and Lin Fei enacted on the spot how attentively Zhou Shengchen took care of Shi Yi, which made Lin Shu unable to stop himself from laughing. After dinner, Zhou Wenxing came to find Qin Wan and advised her to be nicer to Shi Yi. Qin Wan deliberately held a grudge against Zhou Shengchen, thinking that by marrying a girl she hadn't met, Zhou Shengchen didn't want to see Shi Yi.
Zhou Wenxing felt helpless. Wang Man was invited to watch the play. From a distance, she saw Tong Jiaren hiding aside, listening to Tang Xiaofu and Zhou Wenfang gossiping. The two of them were discussing Tong Jiaren's relationship with Zhou Shengchen that ended without resolution, and they mocked Tong Jiaren, saying she wasn't worthy of Zhou Shengchen. As Wang Man passed by, she couldn't resist taunting Tong Jiaren with sarcastic remarks.
Tong Jiaren was already filled with anger and was further provoked by Wang Man's sharp retort. She went directly to confront Tang Xiaofu and Zhou Wenfang. Not only did the two of them refuse to admit their mistake, they even argued with conviction. Tong Jiaren was so angry she was speechless. Zhou Shengchen took Shi Yi to visit the new house. He also brought his pet little crab.
Only then did Shi Yi realize why Zhou Shengchen didn't eat crabs, and why there was no crab dish at the engagement banquet. Shi Yi decided not to eat crabs in the future either. Lian Sui came to help them make the bed. Zhou Shengchen told Shi Yi to rest first, and he went to stay in the guest room next door.
Shi Yi went to the bathroom and found that the toiletries inside were exactly the same as the ones at her home. Her heart felt warm. Zhou Shengchen called Shi Yi to say goodnight. Shi Yi thanked him for his thoughtfulness and consideration and went to the guest room to find Zhou Shengchen, wanting to chat with him. Lian Sui rushed in to ask Zhou Shengchen to handle the dispute between Tong Jiaren and Tang Xiaofu.
Shi Yi had no choice but to go back to rest first. Zhou Shengchen rushed to the scene immediately. He saw Tong Jiaren sitting by the lake, sobbing. Only then did he learn that Tong Jiaren had pushed Tang Xiaofu, causing her injury and hospitalization. He wanted to rush over quickly to see what had happened. Tong Jiaren quickly stopped him and explained the entire process of the incident in detail.
Tang Xiaofu and Zhou Wenfang had been comparing Tong Jiaren and Shi Yi all night. Tong Jiaren, unable to stand it, went to argue with them, and accidentally pushed Tang Xiaofu down. Zhou Shengchen had to comfort Tong Jiaren. Zhou Shengren arrived shortly after. Knowing that the Zhou family had many gossiping mouths, he reminded his elder brother Zhou Shengchen not to let Shi Yi get involved in the Zhou family's affairs.
Zhou Shengchen was pleased with his brother's good intentions and asked him to spend more time with Shi Yi, his sister-in-law. Shi Yi was worried and wanted to go out and find Zhou Shengchen to understand the situation. Lian Sui advised her not to stir up trouble. Qin Wan cared about her reputation the most, and it was better for fewer people to know about such an ugly incident as tonight's.
Shi Yi had no choice but to give up and brought Zhou Shengchen's pet little crab back to the room. Zhou Shengren and Zhou Shengchen had a heart-to-heart talk. Zhou Shengchen explained in detail the original intention of returning to his hometown to invest in manufacturing. Zhou Wenchuan came home very late. He saw Wang Man sitting by the lake in a daze, so he took off his coat to keep her warm.
Witnessing what happened tonight, Wang Man couldn't help but feel indignant for Zhou Wenchuan. Tong Jiaren only had Zhou Shengchen in her heart. Zhou Wenchuan quickly changed the subject and promised to treat Wang Man to her favorite 'Guo Gai Mian'. Early the next morning, Zhou Shengchen didn't wake Shi Yi and came to eat breakfast alone. Qin Wan was very displeased. Zhou Wenxing quickly intervened to smooth things over.
When Qin Wan learned that Zhou Wenchuan hadn't returned home all night, she became even more furious. She suppressed her anger and told everyone to eat first. Zhou Wenchuan rushed home. He asked the butler to deliver the 'Guo Gai Mian' to Wang Man. Zhou Wenchuan lied that he woke up late. Qin Wan, in a fit of pique, left without eating breakfast and told Zhou Shengchen and Zhou Wenchuan to accompany her to the hospital after breakfast.
After Shi Yi got up, she saw an exquisite breakfast on the table. Zhou Wenxing was entrusted by Zhou Shengchen to accompany Shi Yi and also revealed that Zhou Shengchen had personally carved flowers to please Shi Yi. Zhou Wenxing accompanied Shi Yi to visit the library building. Shi Yi saw a painting of the 'Shanglin Fu' hanging on the wall.
