Forever Love Episode 21 Recap
> Forever Love Recap
General Manager Xie didn't want to 'eat dog food,' so he pulled Jiang Zhenghan out for dinner and asked for his opinion on working at the company. Jiang Zhenghan said he liked working, but found the company's infighting and deceit very boring. General Manager Xie sighed, saying that seeing Jiang Zhenghan reminded him of himself back then, also ambitious and talented, feeling invincible, but thus envied by others.
He reminded Jiang Zhenghan to be careful, as the road ahead was long. The new semester arrived. Xia Linxi and Gu Xiaoman returned to school together and met Chu Qiuyan. Chu Qiuyan didn't see Duan Ning pick up Gu Xiaoman, guessing that Gu Xiaoman wasn't with Duan Ning at all.
Gu Xiaoman also frankly said that she hadn't replied to Duan Ning's WeChat messages for the entire holiday, and also to avoid thinking about Chen Yichuan, who even went to Sanya with his parents for the New Year during the holiday. Chu Qiuyan hoped Gu Xiaoman could pick up and let go, and shouldn't be troubled by a man who didn't like her back. Xia Linxi gave up her rented apartment and helped Jiang Zhenghan rent a new house.
This house was close to Jiang Zhenghan's company, which would be convenient for his commute and rest. Chen Yichuan complained that he always had to do hard labor helping Xia Linxi move things. Xia Linxi joked back at Chen Yichuan, thinking that the matter of her failing a course was something Chen Yichuan had blurted out. The two bantered with each other. Zhang Huaiwu mentioned there was a dinner gathering in the evening.
Xia Linxi wanted to give Jiang Zhenghan a surprise and asked Zhang Huaiwu not to tell him. At the dinner table, Chen Yichuan revealed that Jiang Zhenghan was doing performance art on Xia Dad's Moments. Everyone was curious and grabbed a phone to look. Every time, Jiang Zhenghan commented with poems under Xia Dad's Moments, making Chen Yichuan not dare to look directly.
Zhang Huaiwu admired Jiang Zhenghan and teased him for being great at successfully integrating into his future father-in-law's circle. Gu Xiaoman suggested Jiang Zhenghan hold an awkward poetry recital in the Chinese department, saying it would definitely be packed. Just then, Xia Linxi quietly entered from the back door. Chu Qiuyan asked Jiang Zhenghan to talk about Xia Linxi's strengths and weaknesses. Jiang Zhenghan then gave everyone another dose of 'dog food,' making those present feel sickly sweet.
Hearing that Jiang Zhenghan didn't have to work overtime, Xia Linxi wanted to take him to a mysterious place and even blindfolded him. When Jiang Zhenghan opened his eyes, he saw the house Xia Linxi had specially chosen for him. It was only five minutes from his company, and the decoration highly replicated their secret base in Jiangming, plus there was a super delicious breakfast shop nearby.
Jiang Zhenghan was very touched and held Xia Linxi in his arms, saying how lucky he was to have met her. Their feelings grew warmer. Jiang Zhenghan moved closer step by step, Xia Linxi's heart rate sped up, and she was pinned onto the sofa by Jiang Zhenghan. Jiang Zhenghan wanted to kiss Xia Linxi, but he sensed that Xia Linxi wasn't ready. Jiang Zhenghan had to take a cold shower to cool himself down.
He gave Xia Linxi his salary card. Xia Linxi encouraged Jiang Zhenghan to do more internships and projects, as he liked programming after all. Xia Linxi and Chu Qiuyan were in a project class. They heard that Shi Ying was planning to intern at Ryan Company, which was Qin Yue's family's company, and they were happy for her. The instructor required project discussions in groups of four, preferably by dormitory. Chu Qiuyan was not very satisfied with Zhuang Fei.
Xia Linxi told her to ignore it, as they would still live together in the dormitory in the future, and they shouldn't let their relationship sour. The two chatted in the restroom. Xia Linxi told Chu Qiuyan about her blind date with Qin Yue during the holiday, which Zhuang Fei secretly overheard. Qin Yue was waiting for Xia Linxi downstairs from the classroom building. Shi Ying felt very disappointed when she saw this.
Zhuang Fei deliberately told Shi Ying about the time Qin Yue and Xia Linxi had a blind date, trying to stir up trouble between them. Xia Linxi initially wanted to refuse Qin Yue's dinner invitation, but Qin Yue shamelessly insisted on having dinner with her and Chu Qiuyan. Xia Linxi stated that this meal was just a simple dinner between friends. Gu Xiaoman came to the cafeteria late and almost didn't get anything to eat.
Duan Ning personally went to the East Gate to buy Gu Xiaoman's favorite Dongpo pork, and even deliberately bribed the cafeteria auntie to turn off the lights and light a peach-scented candle that Gu Xiaoman loved. Gu Xiaoman was very touched, but she didn't like Duan Ning and proposed to break up. Duan Ning pretended to be calm.
To avoid putting a burden on Gu Xiaoman, he said that when he pursued her, it was also to cooperate with her acting in front of Chen Yichuan. Gu Xiaoman actually knew that Duan Ning had always been good to her, but she could never let go of Chen Yichuan in her heart.
Xia Linxi noticed that the data in the report Shi Ying provided was problematic and stated that she couldn't complete such a large amount of data in one day. Shi Ying deliberately targeted Xia Linxi, hoping she would consider the team and stop shirking responsibility. By the time Xia Linxi finished organizing the data, it was very late, and it was also raining heavily. She couldn't get a taxi.
Qin Yue had been watching from his car and finally couldn't help but get out and pull Xia Linxi away. Qin Yue said that although he had accepted being Xia Linxi's brother, he didn't think Jiang Zhenghan was capable of protecting Xia Linxi, otherwise she wouldn't be waiting in the rain for Jiang Zhenghan. Xia Linxi kept pushing Qin Yue's hand away, saying that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Zhenghan.
Jiang Zhenghan walked up to the two with an umbrella. Xia Linxi quickly walked over and leaned next to Jiang Zhenghan. Jiang Zhenghan hoped Qin Yue would stop bothering his girlfriend, but Qin Yue accused Jiang Zhenghan of being incapable. Xia Linxi saw them arguing endlessly and stepped forward to defend Jiang Zhenghan, hoping Qin Yue could respect her because she only liked Jiang Zhenghan.
