> Love between Lines Recaps
Xiao Zhiyu brought a heavily intoxicated Hu Xiu back to the attic and settled her on the sofa. To maintain boundaries, he locked himself in the upstairs room to work, only to find himself trapped when the lock jammed. When Hu Xiu eventually woke up, she was mortified by her drunken blackout. Hearing Xiao Zhiyu’s predicament, she used a bamboo pole to deliver a glass of water to him from her balcony.
During their conversation, Xiao Zhiyu revealed he hired her because of the potential he saw in her college portfolio, urging her to reclaim her architectural knowledge and focus on the upcoming Lyman competition. The next morning, Xiao Zhiyu insisted on driving Hu Xiu to work. Despite her fears that colleagues would think she was hired through the "back door," he remained indifferent to potential gossip, asserting that their landlord-tenant relationship was perfectly transparent.
However, the atmosphere at the office turned tense when a whistleblower leaked information linking Xiao Zhiyu’s father to a historical design catastrophe involving a collapsed stadium. The controversy, which also highlighted a polarizing professional quote that Xiao Zhiyu admitted to saying, led Lyman to disqualify Dynamism from the competition. Xiao Zhiyu suspected that their rivals, Lyman, were behind the sabotage to secure an easy victory.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, Xiao Zhiyu took Hu Xiu and his colleague, Zhou Yan, to Lyman’s office to meet Sun Daqin. After being brushed off for hours with claims of ongoing meetings, they left, only to spot Sun in the parking lot returning from a fishing trip. It became clear that Sun had been intentionally avoiding them.
Determined to reach Lyman’s top executive, Mr. Xie, Xiao Zhiyu leveraged his connection with a friend, Mr. Wang, who invited him to his daughter’s wedding on a private island. The wedding was held at a stunning hotel that Xiao Zhiyu had personally designed. He introduced Hu Xiu as his assistant designer to Mr. Wang, the owner of the island.
Hu Xiu was initially impressed by the breathtaking architecture and the joyous atmosphere, but her mood shattered when the groom was introduced. He was Zhang Qiran, the boyfriend who had jilted her at their own wedding. Overcome with shock and physical nausea, Hu Xiu fled the scene, leaving the bride to assume she was merely suffering from seasickness. Xiao Zhiyu, however, noticed the groom’s lingering, uneasy look toward Hu Xiu and immediately sensed a deep secret between them.
