> Hello, the Sharpshooter Recap
Shen Qingyuan's parents warmly welcomed him to their home. After Shen Qingyuan addressed Tang Xin's mother as "Mom," her father insisted on being called "Dad" as well. While Tang Xin went to help her mother, Shen Qingyuan offered to assist, citing a guidebook on meeting parents. However, Tang Xin revealed her mother simply wanted a private conversation and asked him to clean the table and mop the floor instead.
Later, Tang Liqi invited Shen Qingyuan to play video games, which he agreed to only after finishing his cleaning duties, prompting Tang Liqi to admire his sister's "boyfriend-taming" skills. Tang Liqi was also impressed by Shen Qingyuan's quick grasp of the game, suggesting he play more often for stress relief.
Tang Xin's mother cautioned her daughter not to be too lenient with men, advising her to have Shen Qingyuan handle more tasks and warning that husbands often become less attentive after marriage. When asked about living together, Tang Xin hesitated, but her mother, claiming not to be old-fashioned, accepted their cohabitation while still advising caution. The next day, as they returned to the training squad, Shen Qingyuan received a call from his father and handed the phone to Tang Xin.
Mistaking him for her own father, Tang Xin cheerfully greeted him with "Dad!" Delighted, Shen Qingyuan's father explained that he and his wife were tied up with work abroad and entrusted Tang Xin with caring for Shen Qingyuan. After the call, Shen Qingyuan reflected on their past "99% and 1%" conversation.
He realized that his time in Yongcheng had taught him to appreciate the 99% of daily life, which he now saw as a source of motivation for his career, the 1%, rather than a problem to be managed. He affirmed he was ready to face the 1% again. Meanwhile, Xu Dian called Coach Zhang to arrange filming the end of the winter training.
Back at the base, Zhou Yue, who had risen to first place in Shen Qingyuan's absence, gave an arrogant interview to Xu Dian, suggesting Shen Qingyuan's psychological issues prevented him from competing and wishing him well in other fields. Just then, Shen Qingyuan and Tang Xin made a surprise return, delighting their teammates. Shen Qingyuan reaffirmed his commitment to reaching the Olympics. Later, Zhou Yue overheard Du Lingfeng and Coach Zhang discussing new weapon shipments.
He intercepted the delivery team, introduced himself as the captain of the Southeast Team, and offered to help move the guns. Seizing the opportunity, he opened Shen Qingyuan's gun case, intending to sabotage it. However, Shen Qingyuan, Coach Zhang, and the team appeared, having set a trap to catch him. Coach Zhang expressed his profound disappointment, and Zhou Yue was subsequently suspended for a year.
Shen Qingyuan later explained to Tang Xin that they had long suspected Zhou Yue's jealousy and dishonorable character but needed to wait for him to expose himself. Shen Qingyuan met with Coach Zhang, who urged him to regain his peak form for the national team selection in a month, handing him the Olympic selection rules. He advised Shen Qingyuan that a shooter's shot is an irreversible decision and that facing one's past requires courage.
Tang Xin then met with Ding Fang and Coach Zhang. The coach expressed his anxiety about Shen Qingyuan's mental state, as he had not yet fully recovered his memory and hadn't been officially registered for the selection to avoid wasting a spot. Dr. Ding explained that psychotherapy was essential, as uncertainties would persist until Shen Qingyuan fully recovered and accepted his past. Tang Xin worried that bringing up treatment might provoke him.
Dr. Ding remarked that Shen Qingyuan was fortunate to have Tang Xin, but stressed that delaying treatment was risky. Inspired, Tang Xin proposed sharing their story for Dr. Ding's book on athlete mental health and creating a companion video series, an idea Dr. Ding warmly supported. Later, Zhou Zuguang and Tang Xin met with Ai.
Zhou Zuguang revealed Xu Dian's history of preying on young women, citing a talented presenter who quit after being harassed by him, an incident that led to Zhou Zuguang's own demotion. Ai emotionally recounted her own difficult situation, feeling trapped by Xu Dian and believing she had no choice but to comply for a chance at a career. Understanding her plight, Tang Xin noted Ai must have taken precautions.
Ai then handed over a package of evidence against Xu Dian, and Zhou Zuguang reaffirmed his promise to provide a recommendation letter so she could start fresh in a new city. Upon returning home, Shen Qingyuan had already tidied their belongings and made a bed for their pet, Dongzao. Tang Xin showered and mistakenly put on Shen Qingyuan's T-shirt.
He served her noodles and complimented her attire, but when a delivery arrived, he playfully insisted she shouldn't be seen like that by others. The delivery contained two pillows he'd ordered: a doll for her and a bear for him. Though he initially called the bear pillow childish, he quickly declared his love for it because it was from her, calling it the "warmest pillow in the world" and hinting they could now share his room. Finally, Tang Xin formally proposed making their story public to help others, and Shen Qingyuan agreed.
