Go Ahead Episode 3 Recap
> Go Ahead Recap
As soon as Li Jianjian appeared, she knocked one person down, and He Ziqiu took the opportunity to kick down another. Li Jianjian still wanted to rush up and fight, but He Ziqiu quickly held her back. At that moment, Ling Xiao also rushed over and scared the two scammers by saying he had already called the police. Realizing the situation wasn’t in their favor, the two scammers fled.
After the three returned to school, they were scolded by a teacher from the academic affairs office, who told them that even though they were standing up for justice, they were still students and should seek help from teachers next time. The girl they saved was Qi Mingyue, the class monitor in Li Jianjian's class. She thanked them, but Li Jianjian said she didn’t know her.
Qi Mingyue was puzzled and didn’t understand why they would help her if they didn’t know her, but the three replied in unison: "We were doing the right thing." The next day, to thank Li Jianjian, Qi Mingyue invited her for a snack. Li Jianjian also brought He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao along. Qi Mingyue asked what their relationship was, and Li Jianjian casually replied that they were a family, just not related by blood.
Qi Mingyue didn’t quite understand what she meant but quietly accepted it. From then on, Qi Mingyue and Li Jianjian became good friends. Qi Mingyue was a top student, and her mother, Jin Yuxiang, was very strict with her. Li Jianjian, on the other hand, had poor grades, so Jin Yuxiang didn’t want her daughter to associate with Li Jianjian. At the parent-teacher meeting, Jin Yuxiang even shared her parenting experience with other parents.
After school, Ling Xiao, He Ziqiu, and Qi Mingyue were doing homework at a drink shop. Qi Mingyue accidentally drank from He Ziqiu’s drink. Embarrassed as she looked at He Ziqiu’s lips, she quickly said she would buy him another one. That night at home, the family sat around the table eating hot pot. Li Haichao brought up Li Jianjian’s grades and said he didn’t expect much improvement.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, Ling Heping received a call from Ling Xiao’s grandmother. Ling Xiao’s expression changed, and he put down his chopsticks and left. Li Jianjian couldn’t help complaining to He Ziqiu, saying that every time Ling Xiao heard anything about his mother’s family, he would lose his appetite. Li Haichao, a bit helpless, said he’d cook some noodles and asked them to bring it up to Ling Xiao later.
After dinner, Li Haichao privately asked Ling Heping what Ling Xiao’s grandmother wanted. It turned out that Chen Ting had remarried, and her husband was coming to work for six months. She and her daughter were also moving over, and Ling Xiao’s grandmother was asking Ling Heping to arrange a temporary school placement for the daughter. Meanwhile, He Ziqiu and Li Jianjian brought the noodles to Ling Xiao, but he still didn’t want to eat.
Li Jianjian jumped onto his bed and said she wouldn’t leave unless he ate. Ling Xiao, helpless, picked up the bowl to eat a few bites. Then Li Jianjian said his blanket smelled nice and had his scent. Ling Xiao blushed instantly, pulled her off the bed, and told her not to get on his or He Ziqiu’s bed again. Li Jianjian, being young and innocent, didn’t understand why Ling Xiao was angry.
But Ling Xiao had already developed a sense of boundaries between boys and girls and insisted on maintaining distance from her. Over the weekend, Jin Yuxiang took her daughter Qi Mingyue to a math tutoring class and reminded her to spend time with Wang Yajie, the top student, instead of fooling around with Li Jianjian. She even promised to buy her a digital camera if she outperformed Wang Yajie in the next exam.
At school, Jin Yuxiang asked Qi Mingyue what she wanted to eat for dinner. Qi Mingyue said she planned to go to a café with Wang Yajie to work on practice tests and then have hot pot. Jin Yuxiang, pleased with her daughter’s obedience, gave her money to treat her classmates. After returning, Chen Ting went to school to see Ling Xiao. Though he had said he considered her a stranger, seeing her stirred up complicated emotions.
He Ziqiu saw Chen Ting when he returned from playing basketball. Chen Ting told Ling Xiao she had settled in Singapore and had a daughter named Xiao Chengzi, who had been begging to meet him. Ling Xiao, cold and distant, said he didn’t know her, so there was no point in meeting. Chen Ting asked whether he was doing well living with Li Haichao and if he had suffered.
Ling Xiao got angry and told her not to criticize his family. He said he considered Li Haichao his real father and would take care of him when he got old. Chen Ting was a bit heartbroken by his attitude. She explained that back then, she was barely surviving and taking him with her might have hurt him more. Meanwhile, He Ziqiu and Li Jianjian were waiting for Ling Xiao outside the café.
Li Jianjian asked if he had ever thought about looking for He Mei. He Ziqiu suddenly got angry and said he wasn’t garbage that people could throw away and pick back up at will. Not wanting to wait for Ling Xiao, he left. Despite his harsh words, He Ziqiu had always kept a photo of He Mei, still hoping she would come back one day. Chen Ting also missed Ling Xiao deeply all these years and wanted his forgiveness. Ling Xiao saw Li Jianjian squatting at the door waiting for him. Without paying Chen Ting any mind, he pulled Li Jianjian up and left with her.
