Go Ahead Episode 9 Recap
> Go Ahead Recap
Li Haichao had been extremely busy lately with the renovation of his noodle shop. He Ziqiu thoughtfully applied medicated oil and gave Li Haichao a massage. He then asked if there was anything he could help with, but Li Haichao declined and instead gave He Ziqiu five hundred yuan to attend his teacher appreciation banquet and a class reunion. He told him to have a good time and not to worry about money.
He Ziqiu couldn’t help but recall what Zhao Huaguang had said to him. Guilt crept into his heart—he knew Zhao Huaguang had a point: Li Haichao worked hard running the noodle shop, and his income wasn’t high. Before leaving the house, Li Haichao, somewhat worried, asked He Ziqiu if Zhao Huaguang had come looking for him again. He Ziqiu hesitated for a moment and didn’t tell the truth. After finishing his exam, Ling Xiao had no interest in going out.
He stayed home with Li Jianjian and did homework with her. Li Jianjian, however, wanted to go out and play. Ling Xiao told her to finish her homework first and casually took her paper to look at. When he saw a mistake, he lightly knocked her on the head. Li Jianjian pretended to be angry and told him not to do that—if he knocked her silly, would he still marry her?
Ling Xiao looked at her seriously and said he would marry her. Li Jianjian was taken aback. What had started as a joke suddenly turned serious. She silently took the paper back from him and said nothing more. Ling Heping suddenly rushed home in a hurry. Ling Xiao’s grandmother had suffered a sudden heart attack and was being treated in the hospital. Ling Heping told Ling Xiao to come with him right away.
Ling Xiao’s uncle and aunt were already at the hospital. Chen Ting was far away in Singapore and hadn’t managed to get a ticket. The earliest she could arrive was the next morning. That night, the doctor issued four critical condition notices. Both Ling Xiao and Ling Heping stayed at the hospital. Ling Xiao received a call from Chen Ting and briefly explained the situation. They stayed all night. The outlook for Ling Xiao’s grandmother was bleak.
Then Ling Xiao received a call from Qin Meiyang’s uncle, who said that on the way to the airport, Chen Ting’s husband had been in a car accident and was in critical condition. Before Ling Xiao could fully absorb the news, his grandmother also passed away. Late that night, Li Haichao and the others waited at home until Ling Heping returned. Li Haichao quickly asked about Chen Ting’s situation.
Ling Heping told them that Chen Ting’s husband had died in the car accident and that Chen Ting was seriously injured. Her in-laws were urging her family to get a visa and come over quickly. Ling Heping had spent the day helping Ling Xiao’s uncle and Ling Xiao get their visa applications ready. Even with expedited processing, it would take several days. In the meantime, they would handle the grandmother’s funeral arrangements.
Li Haichao was worried Ling Xiao wouldn’t be able to handle it all, but Ling Heping said he was grown now—whether he could handle it or not, he had to. Ling Xiao and his uncle arrived in Singapore. Chen Ting was still in the ICU. Grandma Qin had already arranged her son’s funeral and was preparing to return to Malaysia, planning to take Qin Meiyang with her.
But Qin Meiyang refused to go and clung to Ling Xiao, saying she wanted to wait with him until Chen Ting woke up. Seeing her plead like that, Ling Xiao let her stay. He Ziqiu asked Zhuang Bei what he thought about him studying abroad. Zhuang Bei supported the idea, saying that if He Ziqiu used Zhao Huaguang’s money to study, it would help ease Li Haichao’s financial burden, and he could always return after growing up.
Li Jianjian had been distracted in class lately, worried about Ling Xiao. One day while going downstairs, she wasn’t paying attention and suddenly felt someone push her. She tumbled down the stairs. Qi Mingyue immediately called He Ziqiu, who rushed to the school. After learning what happened, he called Zhao Huaguang to ask if he had been behind it, but Zhao Huaguang denied everything.
He Ziqiu carried Li Jianjian home on his back, only to discover that Li Haichao had been taken to the hospital by ambulance. They rushed over and were told by the nurse that Li Haichao was fine—he had simply collapsed from exhaustion and malnutrition. After receiving IV fluids, the three returned home. Li Haichao went to sleep, and when he woke up, he found Li Jianjian sleeping beside him and He Ziqiu watching over him from the bedside.
