Hello, My Shining Lover Episode 27 Recap
> Hello, My Shining Lover Recap
The rumors circulating about Si Da and Shen Qiansha had caused significant trouble for Si Da. Du Guruonan guessed that Tong Tong was behind the gossip, and Song Zihao likewise suspected her. Song Zihao confronted Tong Tong, angrily telling her that they were not on the same side and regretting ever making her his manager. He condemned her despicable character, pointing out how Du Guruonan would never resort to such dirty tactics.
Tong Tong admitted her actions, stating her aim was to damage both Du Guruonan and Si Da, and expected Song Zihao to be pleased, as their goal had been achieved. Separately, Shen Qiansha, after discovering the scandal on her phone, worried about Si Da but was advised by a friend to focus on her own situation. Tong Tong was overheard gloating about the perceived stupidity of those involved.
Shen Qiansha, determined to find Si Da, insisted on going to the set. However, Zhao Yucheng, driving her, urged her to approach her feelings for Si Da with adult sensibility. He questioned if her actions had truly benefited Si Da, or if she had considered his feelings, suggesting she might have caused him more trouble.
Zhao Yucheng emphasized that any issues involving Si Da would ultimately affect Du Guruonan, his primary concern, and warned Shen Qiansha to stop her reckless behavior and face her father. Shen Qiansha, though acknowledging the truth in his words, confessed she couldn't control her emotions, couldn't stop liking Si Da, and couldn't make Si Da return her affections. She felt helpless. Du Guruonan was grappling with how to handle the scandal, initially considering letting Shen Qiansha leave.
Ji Mo suggested a different approach, explaining that public figures inherently satisfy the public's curiosity, and people often cling to their perceived truths. He argued that simply firing Shen Qiansha would appear to be a cover-up and wouldn't solve the core issue. Instead, he advised redefining Shen Qiansha's role to manage public expectations without directly confirming a romance, a strategy Du Guruonan found intriguing.
Later that evening, Ji Mo gave Du Guruonan a head massage, causing her to feel a surge of playful jealousy about his past. When she emerged from her shower, seeing Ji Mo wearing glasses and reading made her heart race, despite her outward denial of finding him attractive. He then straightforwardly asked her to spend the upcoming 520 holiday with him, to which she happily agreed.
Song Zihao, recalling Du Guruonan's earlier advice to protect Shen Qiansha, decided after difficult consideration to dismiss Shen Qiansha as a disguised form of protection. He called Shen Qiansha to a meeting and abruptly fired her. He stated that she had caused too much trouble and he, as a popular star, could not be implicated by a "small assistant."
He sarcastically remarked that she was now free to pursue her affection for Si Da without any professional constraints, as he would no longer order her around. Shen Qiansha, hurt by his harsh words, accused him of being unable to recognize her good intentions and asked if he truly despised her. Song Zihao countered that she was not fit to be his assistant, presenting her dismissal as his "520 holiday gift" to her.
Soon after, Shen Qiansha was forced by her father, President Shen, to return to Dali. While waiting for her luggage at the airport, she desperately pleaded with her escorts for a brief detour to visit Si Da, promising not to run away. She internally prayed for Si Da to come and save her. Miraculously, Si Da appeared. Reminding him of their first escape together in Yunnan, she implored him for help one last time, vowing never to bother him again.
Si Da understood her silent plea, grabbed her hand, and they swiftly ran, evading her bodyguards. Later, Shen Qiansha tearfully apologized to Si Da, admitting that her love had caused him distress and burden, something she hadn't anticipated. She offered to publicly shoulder the blame for the scandal, stating that she would tell the media she had ignored Si Da's warnings to stay away, emphasizing that her feelings for him were one-sided and she would gladly fade into the background.
Just then, Du Guruonan arrived, unexpectedly telling Shen Qiansha she didn't have to leave. She offered to rehire Shen Qiansha as Si Da's assistant, on the condition that Shen Qiansha strictly adhere to her duties and avoid any non-professional interactions with Si Da. Overjoyed and committed to changing herself, Shen Qiansha readily accepted.
On her first day back, Shen Qiansha overslept due to an uncomfortable bed and a long commute from her new suburban rental, where she had moved after cutting off all family financial support. She missed her bus and even lost a shoe while rushing to work. Du Guruonan severely reprimanded her for her tardiness, stressing the importance of punctuality and warning her that another mistake would result in immediate dismissal, as she had no room for "pampered waste."
Si Da, feeling sorry for Shen Qiansha, stepped in to explain her difficult circumstances and how she was trying to adapt to her new, independent life. Du Guruonan clarified that her strictness was for Shen Qiansha's own good, meant to help her quickly adapt to the competitive industry, citing Tong Tong's malicious actions as a cautionary tale.
Later, Song Zihao, despite his earlier harshness, noticed Shen Qiansha's missing shoe and, feigning indifference, took off his own sports shoes and gave them to her. Shen Qiansha, though initially irked by his sharp comments, was secretly touched by his unexpected kindness. Shen Qiansha vowed to transform herself from a spoiled socialite into a hardworking, professional assistant, dedicated to Si Da's career.
Si Da expressed his appreciation for her presence on set, finding peace and relaxation in his acting career with her support. As the 520 holiday approached, Si Da bought two movie tickets, intending to invite Du Guruonan. Shen Qiansha mistakenly believed the tickets were for her, only to be crestfallen when Si Da clarified they were for Du Guruonan. She silently resolved to suppress her sadness and focus on her professional duties, reminding herself she was just his assistant.
Meanwhile, Du Guruonan was getting ready, having cleared her schedule, and planned to invite Ji Mo for a date. Before she could, Si Da unexpectedly arrived at her apartment, asking about her 520 plans. Du Guruonan, with Ji Mo on her mind, cheerfully informed Si Da that she had cleared her schedule for a date. Just then, Ji Mo walked in, confirming he had moved back in. Si Da's heart sank as he realized Ji Mo was Du Guruonan's date.
Feigning a cold, Si Da quickly made his excuses and left, looking at the movie tickets in his hand with a heavy heart. The following morning, Du Guruonan and Ji Mo greeted each other with bright smiles from their respective rooms, reflecting their growing affection.
