Go Ahead Episode 27 Recap
> Go Ahead Recap
He Mei asked Li Haichao to add her on WeChat. She had a friend who managed a chain coffee shop and planned to introduce the manager to He Ziqiu via Li Haichao. She genuinely wanted to help He Ziqiu, but didn’t want him to find out. She specifically told Li Haichao to say the manager was his own friend when making the introduction. Tang Can asked Li Jianjian to deliver the household registration page to Qi Mingyue.
Qi Mingyue was ready to leave as soon as she got it, even saying she would move out. Li Jianjian snatched the page back and tried to stop her, wanting to talk things through and persuade her to move back. But Qi Mingyue felt that moving back would make her look like a joke in front of them, and she couldn’t get over that psychological barrier.
Li Jianjian blamed herself and kept stressing that no one was laughing at Qi Mingyue. She even offered to move back home herself and wait until Qi Mingyue was ready to return. Qi Mingyue sighed deeply and asked if Li Jianjian thought she was being unreasonable. Li Jianjian quickly denied it. With teary eyes, Qi Mingyue said that she only dared to be unreasonable with them. She admitted that she had thought it through—she never liked fighting for things.
Since Ling Xiao didn’t like her, she had given up. Still, she couldn’t face Li Jianjian and Ling Xiao yet, and asked for more time. Tang Can brought a gift and cake to her mother’s birthday gathering. There, she learned her mom had told relatives she worked at a museum to save face. The relatives also brought up Tang Can’s past as a child actress, making the whole meal quite unpleasant for her.
As she was about to leave after the meal, Tang Can’s mother criticized her for running a Taobao shop and doing errands, which she thought was disgraceful. Wanting to become a star again, in her mother’s eyes, was pure fantasy. Tang Can’s father tried to mediate, but ended up pleasing no one. Tang Can went home frustrated and talked to Li Jianjian about it.
Li Jianjian said that if Tang Can no longer wanted to be an actress, there was no need to run errands for “acting practice.” She suggested finding a new job. Tang Can misunderstood her kindness and thought Li Jianjian looked down on her. The two argued, and Li Jianjian stormed off to Ling Xiao’s place. Ling Xiao asked what happened between her and Tang Can.
After learning they had argued, he told her not to take a friend’s angry words to heart. But Li Jianjian said she couldn’t control her thoughts anymore—she was furious. Ling Xiao said if he did something right now, he could make her forget about Tang Can. Li Jianjian didn’t believe him, saying she wouldn't get over it tonight. So Ling Xiao stepped forward and kissed her. Li Jianjian’s mind went blank.
When Ling Xiao let go, she curled up in the corner of the couch like an ostrich. After Ling Xiao went to shower, she quickly ran home. While eating dinner with her parents, Qi Mingyue was scolded by Jin Yuxiang, who criticized everything from her love life to her work. Jin Yuxiang wanted complete control over her daughter. Tired of it, Qi Mingyue said she’d go back to her own place.
Jin Yuxiang didn’t object and even handed her some books to memorize for the civil service exam. Qi Mingyue instinctively took the books, but later realized she was once again being manipulated. She shoved the books into a drawer and decided to ignore them. The next morning, Li Jianjian found out Qi Mingyue had returned. Qi Mingyue teased her a little and commented that it was obvious neither Ling Xiao nor He Ziqiu knew the other liked Li Jianjian.
As the only one aware, she planned to sit back and enjoy the drama. While heading out with He Ziqiu, Li Jianjian couldn’t stop thinking about Ling Xiao’s kiss. She even asked if He Ziqiu would kiss her impulsively. He Ziqiu quickly denied it, saying he’d rather stick her head in the fridge to calm her down. Zhou Miao had someone write an article praising Li Jianjian to the skies and arranged an interview for her.
Li Jianjian was furious when she saw it and demanded that Zhou Miao cancel the interview. She said that doing something unearned like this was taboo for her teacher, Peng Yulin. Zhou Miao refused and insisted on putting the studio’s collective interests first. That truly enraged Li Jianjian, who reminded Zhou Miao that he was just an employee and should focus on doing his job. Seeing that she was genuinely angry, Du Juan quickly signaled Zhou Miao to stop talking.
At the hospital, Feng Xixi brought coffee to Ling Xiao and pried into his relationship with Li Jianjian. Ling Xiao refused to share any details. At noon, he had lunch with Qi Mingyue and encouraged her to order for herself. Qi Mingyue, in hindsight, realized her lack of opinion and felt it was understandable that Ling Xiao didn’t like her.
