Hi Venus Recap
Episode 1 Recap
On the weekend, Lu Zhaoxi was camping by the tranquil river. Just as he happily picked up a roasted sweet potato, preparing to feast, his phone on the table rang inopportunely. It turned out to be Assistant Lin reminding him to attend the meeting at 9 AM on Monday. He hung up the phone, glanced at the time, and Lu Zhaoxi continued to savor the roasted sweet potato. At this moment, the tender bleating of a lamb reached his ears.
Lu Zhaoxi went to investigate and found an injured little goat lying in the grass. Lu Zhaoxi affectionately stroked the goat's little head. Suddenly, thunder rumbled overhead, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down like pillars. The weather changed. Lu Zhaoxi put the little goat in his car, preparing to take it back for treatment.
--- On the other side, Ye Shilan finished measuring a villager's blood pressure at the village clinic, reminding the patient with high blood pressure to take medication on time and adhere to usual restrictions. The patient casually agreed. Seeing the low-quality medicinal wine the patient had placed on the table, she instructed the patient that this kind of low-quality medicinal wine was even more forbidden to drink. However, the patient firmly believed this medicinal wine could cure all diseases.
Walking out of the consultation room, the Director and the Deputy Director were playing Ludo in the yard. The patient handed the medicinal wine to the Deputy Director and talked about its miraculous properties. The Deputy Director responded that the wine was good and immediately offered to trade his propolis and fish oil for this bottle of "good wine." He also instructed the patient on its usage, and the patient happily agreed.
This was the Deputy Director's roundabout tactic, using propolis and fish oil that were beneficial to the patient to exchange for the patient's low-quality medicinal wine. Ye Shilan was at the bottom of the food chain in this small clinic with only three people; she was also responsible for odd jobs like pouring water and sweeping the floor. Ye Shilan complained a few times.
The Deputy Director asked if there was chicken to eat that night, and Ye Shilan honestly replied that he had eaten all the chickens. Seeing this, the Director was afraid they would quarrel, so he invited the Deputy Director to play chess, changing the subject. Just then, Ye Shilan's mother called. On the phone, she asked about Ye Shilan's recent situation. Her mother thought Ye Shilan was working at the large hospital.
Ye Shilan was afraid her mother would worry, so she didn't tell her mother about her situation at the village clinic. --- At this moment, there was a bleating sound. Ye Shilan went to the sheep pen and found that a lamb named "Cuihua" was missing. Ye Shilan anxiously went out to look for Cuihua. Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoxi encountered a landslide caused by continuous heavy rain while driving. He had a car accident and briefly lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found his car was trapped by the mudslide and couldn't open the door, so he used an escape hammer to break the window and, holding the little goat, looked for nearby accommodation for a temporary stay. At a fork in the road, Lu Zhaoxi, limping and holding the little goat, encountered Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan, with a preconceived notion, believed Lu Zhaoxi had stolen "Cuihua."
Back at the clinic, after questioning Lu Zhaoxi, Ye Shilan bandaged Lu Zhaoxi's wound and asked if Lu Zhaoxi had any other physical discomfort. Lu Zhaoxi looked down on this small clinic a bit and, to make things difficult for Ye Shilan, asked about first aid knowledge. Ye Shilan called the Director to perform acupuncture treatment on Lu Zhaoxi's injured ankle.
After the acupuncture, Lu Zhaoxi got up and walked around, finding that his injured ankle felt perfectly fine when walking. He was immediately shocked by the skill of this small clinic. Ye Shilan opened her mouth to ask for the consultation fee. At this moment, Lu Zhaoxi was penniless and extremely embarrassed. He promised he would definitely pay back the consultation fee in full and donate a used CT machine and medical supplies.
Ye Shilan thought Lu Zhaoxi was bragging and told him to go to a hospital for a head CT scan. --- All three people at the clinic thought Lu Zhaoxi was lying. During the conversation, Ye Shilan remembered the notice posted in the village and thought Lu Zhaoxi was a tomb raider. The radio was broadcasting the latest road condition information. The nearby roads were washed away by the mudslide.
It was estimated that Lu Zhaoxi wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon. --- The next morning at breakfast, Ye Shilan saw Lu Zhaoxi repeatedly wiping his chopsticks with tissue paper. Displeased, she began to make things difficult for Lu Zhaoxi and took out a notebook to itemize the meals and their prices.
After dinner, Ye Shilan deliberately spoke about the insects in the mountains to scare Lu Zhaoxi, frightening him so much that Lu Zhaoxi wanted to switch rooms with Ye Shilan. Lu Zhaoxi asked why Ye Shilan was hostile towards him. Ye Shilan had mistaken Lu Zhaoxi for a salesperson selling medicinal wine, so she was targeting him everywhere. During the conversation, Lu Zhaoxi accidentally knocked Ye Shilan's book onto the floor. A photo slipped out of the book.
Lu Zhaoxi thought it was a photo of Ye Shilan's boyfriend and wanted to ask about it. Before Lu Zhaoxi could finish asking, Ye Shilan didn't want to mention it, interrupted his question, and tore up the photo, while also promising to take Lu Zhaoxi to find his car early the next morning. --- Early the next morning, the two of them went together to find the car and discovered it was completely buried by the mudslide.
Lu Zhaoxi asked if there were any other roads out as he needed to go back to Anxing Hospital for a meeting. Ye Shilan thought Lu Zhaoxi was bragging. To prove his innocence, Lu Zhaoxi revealed his identity as the President of Anxing Hospital. --- On the other side, at the Anxing Hospital morning meeting, Lu Zhaoxi did not arrive on time. At the meeting, the directors of various departments discussed the issue of filming a documentary about the hospital.
At the meeting, Deputy President Gao, with a hint of targeting Deputy President Xu, deliberately threw the question to Deputy President Xu. After a round of arguments, there was no result. Everyone was waiting for the President to give the final decision. But Assistant Lin was still unable to contact Lu Zhaoxi. The meeting finally had to be adjourned due to the work schedules of the directors.
--- In the village, Lu Zhaoxi was anxiously pacing around looking for a signal because he couldn't contact the outside world without service. Back at the clinic, Ye Shilan started to drive Lu Zhaoxi away. And she told the two directors that Lu Zhaoxi was the President of Anxing. The Director also had doubts about Lu Zhaoxi being so young and being the President of Anxing Hospital. This made Ye Shilan even more certain that Lu Zhaoxi was bragging again.
Ye Shilan picked up a broom nearby and was about to drive away this salesperson selling fake medicinal wine. The two directors quickly tried to intervene. Just then, Grandma Fang, who had bought medicinal wine, came to the clinic. Ye Shilan quickly asked Grandma Fang to identify if the person selling the medicinal wine was Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi also quickly stepped forward to let Grandma Fang identify him, in order to prove his innocence. The dizzy Grandma Fang confirmed that Lu Zhaoxi was the salesperson selling medicinal wine. Now, Lu Zhaoxi couldn't explain himself out of this situation.
Episode 2 Recap
陆昭西 squatted in the courtyard and refused to eat. The aunt repeatedly called him to come in for dinner, but he didn't. Ye Shilan took the initiative to find Lu Zhaoxi and revealed her identity as a pediatrician from Anxing Hospital, stating she was there for free consultations. This, she claimed, was sufficient proof that Lu Zhaoxi's claim of being the president of Anxing Hospital was clearly fake.
Lu Zhaoxi still didn't eat the dinner, but he secretly ate a bucket of instant noodles belonging to Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan forced Lu Zhaoxi to write an IOU in her notebook. Lu Zhaoxi also noticed that there was also Director Huang Baihao's IOU on it. In fact, Ye Shilan knew that Lu Zhaoxi wouldn't repay it. Conditions in the countryside were limited, and there was nowhere to buy such things, so writing an IOU was just for fun.
For further amusement, Ye Shilan arranged for Lu Zhaoxi to clean the duck pen and feed the chickens and ducks. Lu Zhaoxi felt like vomiting when he smelled the odor, but he still persisted. Ye Shilan brought him a mask. --- The Deputy Director and Ye Shilan treated the villagers together. In the evening, Lu Zhaoxi came to find Ye Shilan again, wanting to stay in her room as he didn't want to keep staying in the infusion room.
Ye Shilan agreed but also proposed a condition. The next morning, Ye Shilan thought Lu Zhaoxi hadn't gotten up yet and came angrily to knock on the door, but unexpectedly, he had already finished feeding all the chickens and ducks. During breakfast, the Deputy Director thought that Lu Zhaoxi was also from the city and suggested that if Ye Shilan returned, they could stay in touch and be friends.
However, Ye Shilan was convinced that Lu Zhaoxi was a fake president. Lu Zhaoxi was always curious why Ye Shilan was only supposed to be there for three months for medical aid, yet she hadn't been able to return after such a long time. He was sure she must have offended Director Huang Baihao. Under the questioning of the Deputy Director and others, Ye Shilan explained the whole story.
Back when Ye Shilan was at the hospital, she saw a mother and son crying on a chair. The little boy had a rare disease that required surgery, but the hospital didn't have the conditions or admit him. Hearing this, Ye Shilan enthusiastically offered to help and went to find President Gao Xuan, hoping the child could have surgery. She had seen cases where President Xu Liyang had previously performed successful surgeries.
Upon hearing this, President Gao Xuan immediately arranged for hospitalization and surgery, but no miracle occurred. The child died on the operating table. President Xu Liyang also came out of the operating room dejectedly, and when he passed Ye Shilan, his eyes were filled with hostility. Ye Shilan was soon sent to Taoyuan Village for medical aid. Although her time there was up, she had repeatedly submitted applications to be transferred back, but they all went unanswered.
Lu Zhaoxi comforted Ye Shilan, believing she hadn't done anything wrong back then and that at least the child's mother was grateful to her. That evening, Ye Shilan came to the kitchen looking for something to drink and met Lu Zhaoxi, who happened to be there. Considering that after Lu Zhaoxi left, they might never meet again, she didn't hesitate to speak her mind.
Although she felt that providing medical aid here was a meaningful thing, she still wanted to go back, as she had many things she needed to do. Director Huang Baihao was President Xu Liyang's lackey, so offending President Xu Liyang meant offending Director Huang Baihao. As for the two presidents at the hospital, Ye Shilan liked them both. President Gao Xuan was kind and approachable, while President Xu Liyang had excellent medical skills, which she greatly admired.
As they drank and talked, Lu Zhaoxi believed that Ye Shilan would definitely be able to return to the hospital. Although Ye Shilan didn't really believe it, it was a source of comfort and hope for her. Ye Shilan took the drunk Lu Zhaoxi back to his room and received a message from her mother. Her mother hoped she would send a photo of her boyfriend.
She also said she was going to sweep the grave for Ye Shilan's mother and hoped to show him [the photo] there. Ye Shilan lied and said she had a boyfriend, mainly to keep her mother from worrying. Under her mother's repeated questioning, she secretly took a photo of the two of them while Lu Zhaoxi was drunk and asleep. But Lu Zhaoxi suddenly turned his head, scaring Ye Shilan so much that her hand trembled.
Episode 3 Recap
Ye Shilan had just said sorry, wanting to explain, when unexpectedly Lu Zhaoxi fell directly into her arms. This posture looked like a couple. Ye Shilan seized the opportunity to take another photo. Her mother praised Lu Zhaoxi's good looks and said he was a good match for Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan went back to her own bed, thinking about how she was with her father when she was little, and her tears soaked the pillow.
--- Early the next morning, when Lu Zhaoxi got up, the Deputy Director was exercising in the yard. He specifically told Lu Zhaoxi that Ye Shilan had made him the breakfast he liked, as well as something for sobering up. But Lu Zhaoxi received a call and left before Ye Shilan returned from her outpatient treatment.
The Deputy Director couple thought about how to get Ye Shilan back, considering sending a large number of commendatory banners to Anxing Hospital to put pressure on Director Huang. This was overheard by Ye Shilan, who had just returned. Ye Shilan refused this kind offer, also fearing it would be awkward for her. But upon hearing that Lu Zhaoxi had left, Ye Shilan acted indifferent on the surface, but in reality, she was still disappointed.
After Lu Zhaoxi returned, he dressed up and came to the hospital accompanied by a driver. The first person he met was Director Huang Baihao. When Director Huang Baihao heard that Lu Zhaoxi was the new president, he was superficially flattering, but in reality, he thought he was just an inexperienced young man and not worth paying attention to.
President Gao Xuan also specifically came to give Lu Zhaoxi a box of tea and brought resumes of some people from the hospital for Lu Zhaoxi to choose one to be his assistant. After Lu Zhaoxi returned, he quickly sent a truckload of ultrasound machines to the Taoyuan Village clinic. The Deputy Director and others began to speculate that Lu Zhaoxi might be a rich second generation.
At this time, Ye Shilan received a notice from the hospital that she had been transferred back. Lu Zhaoxi also had people investigate Ye Shilan's situation and learned that her performance reviews were excellent every time, but later she was used by President Gao Xuan.
Because President Gao Xuan was promoted from an administrative position and knew nothing about medical skills, while President Xu Liyang's medical skills were excellent and he was popular, President Gao Xuan took the opportunity to agree to Ye Shilan's request in order to suppress President Xu Liyang. However, Ye Shilan went to Taoyuan Village herself because she liked a doctor at the hospital named Jiang Huaiming and applied for an external transfer when she confessed, wanting to heal her wounds.
Lu Zhaoxi was initially stubborn, saying that there was no predestined relationship between him and Ye Shilan, only conflict. But when he heard this last piece of gossip, he immediately took his driver to see what Jiang Huaiming looked like. In Jiang Huaiming's office, a child was crying and refusing treatment from the doctor. Jiang Huaiming did not use coercive methods but took out toys to coax the child and successfully completed the examination.
Lu Zhaoxi also remembered Ye Shilan's abnormal behavior before and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, confirming that Ye Shilan had gone there to heal her wounds. Ye Shilan cooked a meal for the Deputy Director couple and also left her treatment notebook, hoping the next doctor who came here could use it. Ye Shilan packed her luggage and prepared to leave.
The Deputy Director couple appeared to be focused on playing chess and not looking at Ye Shilan, but their eyes were clearly filled with tears. Ye Shilan left the clinic and looked back at the couple. The old lady wiped away a tear, and the Deputy Director also feared that it would be as quiet here as before.
On the way back, Lu Zhaoxi had a dream, dreaming that Ye Shilan was knocking on the window, telling him to get up and work. Lu Zhaoxi woke up from the dream startled. Ye Shilan returned to the community. As soon as she parked the car, the writer Yao Jiajia who lived with her came out to greet her, quickly explaining that she was busy rushing her manuscript and didn't have time to tidy up the house.
Ye Shilan felt especially warm when she returned to her room. The two ate hot pot together and encouraged each other. Today, Ye Shilan returned to work. Lu Zhaoxi also seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. Ye Shilan returned to her familiar position, seeing everything so pleasant. As soon as she got to her workstation, she received a call notifying her to go to the new president's office.
All the way there, Ye Shilan kept speculating if it was Lu Zhaoxi she would see, but she also kept reassuring herself that it definitely wasn't. When she opened the president's door and found that it wasn't Lu Zhaoxi sitting inside, Ye Shilan felt relieved. The driver deliberately asked Ye Shilan if she had met someone impersonating a president in the countryside. Ye Shilan quickly admitted it and said that she had seen through the person with her discerning eyes.
But unexpectedly, she looked back and saw Lu Zhaoxi standing next to the fish tank behind her. He was the real president. Facing the new president whom she had tormented for many days, Ye Shilan's heart was also pounding nervously. She quickly apologized. Lu Zhaoxi looked at Ye Shilan, who was completely different from how she was in Taoyuan Village, and resisted the urge to tease her, asking if she had a twin sister.
Episode 4 Recap
Lu Zhaoxi asked Ye Shilan if she had received the medical supplies he donated. After receiving a positive reply from Ye Shilan, he picked up an envelope from the table. The envelope contained the debts Lu Zhaoxi owed in Taoyuan Village. Lu Zhaoxi was fulfilling his promises from Taoyuan Village one by one. Ye Shilan awkwardly declined, but finally had no choice but to accept it and counted the money in front of Lu Zhaoxi as he requested.
It was a total of 8455 yuan. Ye Shilan felt it was too much and wanted to give it back to Lu Zhaoxi, but Lu Zhaoxi did not take it back. Ye Shilan cautiously asked if the holiday events in Taoyuan Village were over, but Lu Zhaoxi said that what Ye Shilan owed him was a muddled account, and there was plenty of time to repay it slowly.
Lu Zhaoxi really did not intend to let Ye Shilan off the hook. Ye Shilan left the president's office with a heavy heart. After leaving the office, Ye Shilan reflected on her actions in Taoyuan Village by the wall, and coincidentally Lu Zhaoxi, who had just come out of the office, saw this scene. Ye Shilan fled in a panic. Lu Zhaoxi's inauguration meeting finally went smoothly.
At the meeting, Lu Zhaoxi inquired about the progress of the public service documentary and stated that he would vigorously promote it. However, Vice President Xu and Director Huang raised different opinions. They were afraid that it would affect the normal work of the hospital and did not agree to film the documentary in the hospital. Lu Zhaoxi had considered all the problems in advance and pushed through the filming of the documentary against all opposition.
Finally, the meeting decided that the documentary would be filmed as planned. After leaving the meeting room, Vice President Xu and Director Huang discussed the filming of the documentary. They expressed doubts about whether Lu Zhaoxi could successfully complete the filming. In Director Huang's office, Director Huang asked Ye Shilan if she had bought the book he published. Ye Shilan said she hadn't bought it because there was no bookstore in the village.
Director Huang believed that Ye Shilan didn't want to buy it, so he made things difficult for Ye Shilan with the scheduling, not assigning her any substantive work. Ye Shilan suddenly realized that it might have been Lu Zhaoxi who arranged for her to return to the hospital. In the pediatrics office, colleagues wanted to go out for dinner together and invited Ye Shilan, but Ye Shilan refused.
Returning to her residence in the evening, Ye Shilan discussed Lu Zhaoxi's actions during the day with her best friend and mentioned that she had used Lu Zhaoxi's photo as her boyfriend. Ye Shilan expressed her desire to confess to Lu Zhaoxi, but after her roommate's reasoning, Ye Shilan dismissed this idea. On the way to the hospital, Lu Zhaoxi received a call from his father asking why he hadn't gone to work as usual the previous days.
At an opportune moment, Lu Zhaoxi's mother interrupted the father-son conversation and started gossiping about Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan in Taoyuan Village. At the hospital, Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan met in the elevator. Lu Zhaoxi reminded Ye Shilan not to try to avoid him and renege on the debt. Ye Shilan said she regretted her previous actions. In the pediatrics office, colleagues were discussing the president's suggestion box. Colleagues were skeptical about this matter.
In the afternoon, the pediatrics department and the obstetrics and gynecology department held a painless delivery promotion together. Everyone was busy with their respective tasks. Ye Shilan and Jiang Huaiming's current girlfriend were going to demonstrate on stage together. A colleague gossiped to Jiang Huaiming's girlfriend about how Ye Shilan had actively pursued Jiang Huaiming, and Jiang Huaiming's girlfriend showed a look of disdain. Lu Zhaoxi also arrived at the promotion event at this time.
On site, the Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology encouraged the guests present to come on stage to experience labor pain, but no one signed up. Just then, Lu Zhaoxi, who was standing nearby, expressed that he wanted to experience it and said he wanted to experience it from his wife's perspective. This also boosted the atmosphere, and people began to sign up to experience it one after another. The experience began, and the intensity of the pain continued to increase.
Some guests began to quit the experience. When the pain reached level seven, only Lu Zhaoxi barely persevered. The director suggested adjusting the intensity to level eight. Ye Shilan worriedly reminded him not to push himself too hard. With the encouragement of the guests present, Lu Zhaoxi persisted in experiencing the delivery process. The moment the machine stopped, Lu Zhaoxi's expression was no longer painful. At the same time, Ye Shilan's worried heart also relaxed.
Ye Shilan brought water to Lu Zhaoxi who was standing backstage. Ye Shilan gave Lu Zhaoxi a high evaluation for the experience just now. After the event, Lu Zhaoxi treated his colleagues to dinner. He noticed Ye Shilan was not there and casually asked about it. A colleague said that Ye Shilan was feeling unwell and had left early. When Lu Zhaoxi saw Jiang Huaiming in the crowd, he probably understood the reason for Ye Shilan's discomfort.
Driving home, Lu Zhaoxi saw Ye Shilan walking by the roadside, so he invited Ye Shilan to get in the car and offered her a ride home. The two chatted about what colleagues thought of Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan said she didn't have a close relationship with her colleagues, so she wasn't very clear about what they specifically said about Lu Zhaoxi. Bringing up what happened in Taoyuan Village, Ye Shilan formally apologized to Lu Zhaoxi.
Lu Zhaoxi said he didn't take it to heart. Lu Zhaoxi asked Ye Shilan if she was unhappy. Ye Shilan said she was not unhappy. Lu Zhaoxi reminded Ye Shilan not to be too strong. At this moment, Ye Shilan's phone rang. It was her best friend inviting her out for a walk. After getting out of the car, Ye Shilan instantly became lively and energetic.
Lu Zhaoxi realized that Ye Shilan had left her bag in the car and turned back. Hearing Ye Shilan discussing him with her best friend, Ye Shilan expressed her admiration for Lu Zhaoxi while also being a little afraid of him. All of this was overheard by Lu Zhaoxi who was standing behind her. When Ye Shilan said that Lu Zhaoxi was a devil who was retaliating against her, Lu Zhaoxi suddenly appeared in front of Ye Shilan.
Ye Shilan was severely shocked and instantly petrified. While returning the bag to Ye Shilan, Lu Zhaoxi also launched a cute psychological attack on Ye Shilan. The gossipy best friend became infatuated after seeing Lu Zhaoxi in person. Assistant Lin came to the cake shop where the best friend worked to order. The best friend kept trying to sneak glances at Assistant Lin, probably attracted by Assistant Lin's charm.
The best friend took out her phone to record Assistant Lin's excellence,原來 she was going to use Assistant Lin as material for her novel. At the hospital, Jiang Huaiming saw Ye Shilan helping Director Huang organize materials and felt that if Ye Shilan had been a bit more adaptable earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered so much in Taoyuan Village. Ye Shilan immediately retorted, and the atmosphere between the two was very awkward.
Episode 5 Recap
Jiang Huaiming explained that he just wanted to kindly remind Ye Shilan to always look forward. Ye Shilan retorted that she would not interfere with Jiang Huaiming's relationship. Because of this interlude, Ye Shilan's mood became a little irritable. In the president's office, Kevin Lin reported that the progress on the president's suggestion box was slow, with only insignificant feedback. Lu Zhaoxi said that this was the biggest problem.
Lu Zhaoxi's performance at the promotion event had gained him a number of fans in the hospital. Lu Zhaoxi had a sudden flash of inspiration to break the current stalemate in the hospital and immediately instructed Kevin Lin to get the pediatrics schedule. At Ye Shilan's residence, Ye Shilan complained to her best friend about various difficulties she faced at work, saying that Lu Zhaoxi's "special attention" and Director Huang's constant刁难 had already made her work overwhelmed.
The next day, Ye Shilan submitted the organized materials to Director Huang. Director Huang was quite satisfied with Ye Shilan's performance and then arranged more material organizing work for Ye Shilan, without mentioning the schedule. Ye Shilan could see that Director Huang had no intention of putting her on the schedule. Ye Shilan began to argue reasonably, but Director Huang did not plan to schedule Ye Shilan. Just then, Lu Zhaoxi, who was outside the door, walked in.
Lu Zhaoxi suggested arranging for Ye Shilan to be his assistant. Ye Shilan was against this idea from the bottom of her heart. Ye Shilan came to the president's office to apologize for speaking ill of Lu Zhaoxi a few days ago and once again refused Lu Zhaoxi's proposal to arrange for her to be his assistant. Lu Zhaoxi felt that it would be better for Ye Shilan to change environments if she was facing difficulties in her current position.
In exchange, after the assistant job was finished, Lu Zhaoxi would ask Director Huang to schedule Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan said she would consider it. In the corridor, Ye Shilan received a call from her mother. It turned out her mother was helping a neighbor inquire about parenting issues. Ye Shilan patiently answered and hung up with her mother. After lunch, Ye Shilan received a flyer for apartment sales. Ye Shilan looked at it and was a little tempted.
Returning to the office, Ye Shilan saw her colleagues distributing the tasks she had organized. It turned out Director Huang had already told her colleagues about Ye Shilan becoming the president's assistant. However, Ye Shilan hadn't agreed to be the assistant. It seemed Director Huang genuinely didn't favor her. Ye Shilan was hesitant about becoming the president's assistant. In the meeting room, Director Huang reported on Lu Zhaoxi's recent work movements to Vice President Xu.
Vice President Xu said he had a clear conscience and would just wait and see how things unfolded. In the office, everyone complained upon receiving Director Huang's dinner invitation. Ye Shilan once again did not attend the colleague dinner, choosing instead to have dinner with her best friend. The two gossiped about Lu Zhaoxi's motive for asking Ye Shilan to be his assistant. After her best friend's analysis, Ye Shilan decided to become the president's assistant.
Ye Shilan contacted Lu Zhaoxi through Kevin Lin to arrange a meeting, but Lu Zhaoxi's phone was constantly unreachable, so Ye Shilan just stood and waited in the heavy rain. Lu Zhaoxi In the swimming pool, Lu Zhaoxi received a call from Kevin Lin informing him that Ye Shilan was coming to his apartment complex to find him. He immediately drove back. Near the entrance of the apartment complex, he almost hit Ye Shilan, who was waiting in the rain.
But Ye Shilan still slipped and fell. The two looked at each other in the rain, and it seemed something was changing between them. Lu Zhaoxi suggested going to his place to treat her wound and carefully made her ginger tea. Ye Shilan told Lu Zhaoxi that she agreed to be the assistant. In Ye Shilan's perception, Lu Zhaoxi invited her to be his assistant for retaliation. Ye Shilan decided to face the upcoming retaliation head-on.
After talking, Ye Shilan felt refreshed and revitalized, the Ye Shilan from Taoyuan Village was back. The next day, the enthusiastic Ye Shilan was ready to welcome the challenge of being the president's assistant, as if everything around her started to become beautiful. Arriving at the hospital, Kevin Lin handed over the work to Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan was like a busy bee, tidying up every corner. Lu Zhaoxi came in and affirmed Ye Shilan's work, suggesting some details that needed improvement. Kevin Lin also passed on his relevant tasks to Ye Shilan.
Episode 6 Recap
In the President's assistant's office, Ye Shilan was busy. This fulfilling and busy life made Ye Shilan feel satisfied. Lu Zhaoxi occasionally peeked towards the assistant's office, and taking a bottle of fruit-flavored tea to comfort Ye Shilan, she was momentarily at a loss. Ye Shilan went back to the pediatrics department to organize her personal belongings and was gossiped about by her colleagues regarding Lu Zhaoxi's relationship with Ye Shilan.
Ye Shilan meticulously fulfilled Lu Zhaoxi's various detailed requirements on time, but there were still various areas needing improvement. In the rented apartment, Ye Shilan chatted with her best friend about finding new admirable qualities in the president, and Ye Shilan seemed to be slowly starting to appreciate Lu Zhaoxi. Her best friend was still treating Assistant Kevin Lin as novel material.
On the other side, Dean Gao, in order to embed spies more firmly around Lu Zhaoxi, began to win over Assistant Kevin Lin. He indirectly inquired about the reason for choosing Ye Shilan as the president's assistant. Assistant Kevin Lin, alert, used dealing with Director Huang as an excuse to brush him off. In the hospital, Lu Zhaoxi continued to advance the documentary's progress.
Ye Shilan also worked very hard, but seemed to have overlooked the fact that she didn't have the president's contact information. Lu Zhaoxi suggested they add each other's contact information. Ye Shilan suggested that Lu Zhaoxi add an 'A' before her name in WeChat contacts so it would be at the top and easy to find her.
Lu Zhaoxi misunderstood that adding an 'A' meant she was the most important person, and the atmosphere between them became slightly ambiguous during their conversation. After Ye Shilan realized this, she quickly recoiled. Ye Shilan thoughtfully suggested that Lu Zhaoxi could use a lumbar pillow for long hours of work so he wouldn't get too tired.
On the way home from work, Assistant Kevin Lin asked Lu Zhaoxi if he was satisfied with Ye Shilan's work, and reminded Lu Zhaoxi to remember his initial intention for having Ye Shilan as his assistant. Lu Zhaoxi hinted to Assistant Kevin Lin that he could relax a bit when chatting normally. Assistant Kevin Lin relaxed and started gossiping about whether Lu Zhaoxi liked Ye Shilan.
Lu Zhaoxi was surprised by Assistant Kevin Lin's question, wondering how he could possibly like Ye Shilan. Assistant Kevin Lin began analyzing that Lu Zhaoxi's series of actions towards Ye Shilan resembled a pattern of elementary school crushes. Lu Zhaoxi was very surprised by this assessment and quickly ended the chat with Assistant Kevin Lin. In the hospital, Dean Gao asked Ye Shilan about the president's schedule. After not getting useful information, he exchanged a few pleasantries and left.
The phone rang, and it turned out Lu Zhaoxi was inviting her to dinner. Just as Ye Shilan got into the president's car at the hospital entrance, she happened to be seen by colleagues leaving work, and they started gossiping about their relationship again. The two arrived at the restaurant and prepared to order. When Ye Shilan saw the prices on the menu, she frowned slightly and ordered the same set meal as Lu Zhaoxi.
Ye Shilan wanted to return the profits from Taoyuan Village to the president once again. Lu Zhaoxi said to return half, and only in cash. Ye Shilan quickly got up to withdraw money. Lu Zhaoxi hurriedly grabbed Ye Shilan's arm, indicating that it was just a joke and he didn't need the money back. Ye Shilan awkwardly pulled her arm away. Lu Zhaoxi also realized he had been impolite and told Ye Shilan to sit down and eat.
Both were flustered and unsure how to speak, and the atmosphere between them was strange. Lu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered the elementary school crush pattern Assistant Kevin Lin had mentioned and felt like he was acting like an elementary school kid right now. Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoxi unconsciously glanced at Ye Shilan. Coincidentally, Ye Shilan also looked up, their eyes met, and Lu Zhaoxi awkwardly drank water but was scalded. The dishes were all served.
While eating, Lu Zhaoxi told Ye Shilan the reason he chose her as his assistant. It turned out that Ye Shilan earned Lu Zhaoxi's appreciation because she was simple, upright, and kind. This was the reason she could be the president's assistant, not because Lu Zhaoxi wanted to retaliate against her.
Lu Zhaoxi stated that the reason he chose Ye Shilan was in hopes that she could assist him in improving the human resources environment at Anxing Hospital, so that every colleague could work happily. On the way back, Ye Shilan began to report to Lu Zhaoxi about Director Huang's behavior of exploiting subordinates within the department, stating that the fundamental reason was that Director Huang had absolute power in the pediatrics department.
As they chatted, they arrived at Ye Shilan's residential area. Lu Zhaoxi took out two suitcases of instant noodles from the trunk, fulfilling his promise to return ten boxes for every one he ate. Ye Shilan's refusal was rejected again. Their accounts regarding Taoyuan Village were settled. The next day, Lu Zhaoxi arranged for Ye Shilan to borrow and read a book written by Director Huang. Director Huang and Jiang Huaiming were surprised by the president's concluded action.
Director Huang asked Jiang Huaiming if he knew the reason Ye Shilan was promoted to president's assistant. Jiang Huaiming replied that he had less interaction with Ye Shilan and didn't know the reason. Director Huang scolded Jiang Huaiming for not caring about his colleagues and told him to leave. Director Huang didn't get an answer and couldn't help but frown. After lunch, Assistant Kevin Lin came to the dessert shop where the best friend worked.
The best friend reminded Assistant Kevin Lin if he still wanted a strawberry milkshake. He was surprised that someone knew his preferences. Assistant Kevin Lin paid attention to the waitress in front of him and realized her name was Yao Jiajia. This time, Assistant Kevin Lin switched to an iced Americano. Director Huang came to the president's office to find out if any colleagues from his department had reported him to the president.
And Lu Zhaoxi's reply was also direct, stating directly that colleagues had reported Director Huang exploiting them to organize materials for his book. Ye Shilan, who was nearby, was startled upon hearing this.
Episode 7 Recap
Director Huang immediately admitted that such a situation existed, but everyone voluntarily requested to help organize, it wasn't his requirement. Lu Zhaoxi didn't believe it at all. Director Huang immediately asked Ye Shilan if she had been forced by him? When Ye Shilan didn't know how to answer, Lu Zhaoxi revealed that Ye Shilan had also reported this issue. While Ye Shilan was angry, Director Huang also felt awkward and quickly promised not to do this again in the future.
Because Lu Zhaoxi exposed something she had said before, Ye Shilan was very angry and didn't want to talk to Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi, however, thought that Director Huang kept making excuses and if she backed down again, this behavior couldn't be stopped. Although Ye Shilan knew this reasoning was correct, she was still very angry. After all, she had offended Director Huang, and her future days wouldn't be easy.
Lu Zhaoxi arranged for Ye Shilan to go and light the incense in his house. While Ye Shilan was on the phone with Author Yao complaining about Lu Zhaoxi's bossy behavior, she discovered there was an auntie in the room. Ye Shilan remembered that Lu Zhaoxi had said there was a cooking auntie who would come and cook occasionally, and she thought this was the auntie from his home.
She was a bit nervous, fearing the auntie would report her inappropriate comments. Unexpectedly, the auntie also lectured Lu Zhaoxi and believed he was someone who easily made people angry, but the auntie also knew Lu Zhaoxi wasn't a bad person. The two also promised each other that what they said today would be a secret.
After saying goodbye to the auntie, Ye Shilan called Lu Zhaoxi from the entrance, telling him that the auntie had been to his house, the food was ready, and reminding him to extinguish the incense, etc. Lu Zhaoxi repeatedly nodded in agreement. In fact, he was in a car not far away, watching Ye Shilan riding a bicycle at the entrance.
He told Ye Shilan that she could take a taxi next time, and the money would come from his personal account, but Ye Shilan refused. What Ye Shilan didn't expect was that the auntie cooking in the room was actually Lu Zhaoxi's mother. Both Lu Zhaoxi and his mother were quite interested in Ye Shilan. Lu Zhaoxi's mother also asked if the two of them felt a connection when they were together.
She didn't reveal her identity at first, actually wanting to play a little joke on Ye Shilan, especially since Ye Shilan was speaking ill of Lu Zhaoxi at the time. She was also afraid Ye Shilan would be embarrassed, but Lu Zhaoxi's mother didn't tell Lu Zhaoxi what Ye Shilan had said. Since being reprimanded by Lu Zhaoxi, Director Huang withdrew the materials that the departmental staff were helping to organize.
Ye Shilan was still angry because of what Lu Zhaoxi said yesterday. Author Yao gave her a drink hoping she would be happy, but it was accidentally knocked over by Lu Zhaoxi. In reality, Lu Zhaoxi also noticed Ye Shilan's anger, but Ye Shilan forced out a reluctant smile to show that she wasn't angry. Director Huang specifically told Dean Xu that the hospital chairman's daughter-in-law would also be giving birth in the hospital.
The two whispered to each other, seeming to have a plan. Lu Zhaoxi was also in a bad mood because he had offended Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan, however, was quite happy seeing Lu Zhaoxi looking awkward and shared her joy with Author Yao. At this moment, Lu Zhaoxi came to ask Ye Shilan to eat together.
While eating, Lu Zhaoxi unintentionally revealed that he did those things because he cared about Ye Shilan's happiness, and that he truly considered Ye Shilan a good friend. She had taken him in during his most difficult time, and he had long since decided that Ye Shilan was his friend. Ye Shilan denied their friendship, but Lu Zhaoxi believed that Ye Shilan was actually different long ago.
If she wasn't his friend, she wouldn't get angry with him or retort him. Ye Shilan also tacitly accepted her attitude. On the way back with Lu Zhaoxi, Ye Shilan met a little girl selling flowers. She hadn't planned to buy flowers, but then she saw Jiang Huaiming buy a flower and give it to his girlfriend. Lu Zhaoxi simply bought all the flowers and gave them to Ye Shilan.
On the surface, he said it was to help the little girl get home early, but in reality, it was to make Ye Shilan happy. Ye Shilan also told Lu Zhaoxi about her experience selling flowers when she was in school. At that time, she always went to sell flowers after class, and she would say nice things to anyone she met, because only then could she sell the flowers. Ye Shilan secretly contacted Lu Zhaoxi's mother privately.
Lu Zhaoxi's mother also comforted Ye Shilan, telling her that if she encountered anything that made her angry, she would teach her how to teach Lu Zhaoxi a lesson. Ye Shilan's mood became much better. Jiang Huaiming suddenly called Ye Shilan out and straightforwardly asked her not to get too close to Lu Zhaoxi to avoid becoming cannon fodder. He also believed that Ye Shilan suffered for such a long time in the beginning because she was too stubborn.
Now that she had offended Director Huang, if Lu Zhaoxi left after gaining some experience, Ye Shilan would be left with bad luck. Ye Shilan disliked what Jiang Huaiming said, but she didn't think it was entirely unreasonable. Ye Shilan's mother called. She and her brother would come to the county hospital in the city to take care of a relative and would arrive in a few days. At this time, Lu Zhaoxi asked Ye Shilan to help pick up a package. As soon as Ye Shilan got off the elevator, two masked people mysteriously entered the elevator.
Episode 8 Recap
The woman wearing a mask went directly into Lu Zhaoxi's office. She was the famous Miss Ji, Ji Zixing. Hearing that the hospital planned to film a documentary, she was worried that her privacy would be leaked, so she came specifically to check the situation, as she is a celebrity after all. Lu Zhaoxi suggested that Ji Zixing transfer hospitals, but she stated that her family had shares in the hospital and would not transfer.
Lu Zhaoxi called Ye Shilan to bring a glass of warm water, because the guest was in a bad mood. Ye Shilan thoughtfully prepared warm water, and had also looked up Ji Zixing's information beforehand, knowing she was a film and television star. She specifically greeted her and claimed to be a fan, which earned Ji Zixing's approval and made her happy. After seeing Ji Zixing off, Ye Shilan received a call from the front desk.
Her mother had arrived downstairs. Before she went down, her mother heard that Ye Shilan was working as an assistant and was very worried that a doctor who didn't see patients wouldn't be considered a doctor. She anxiously asked if Ye Shilan would still be transferred back to pediatrics. She happened to run into Director Huang. To do Ye Shilan a favor, Ye's mother gave walnuts to Director Huang, hoping he would take good care of Ye Shilan.
Ye Shilan asked Lu Zhaoxi for leave to see her mother. The two of them took the elevator down together. All the way down, Ye Shilan was afraid her mother would see Lu Zhaoxi, fearing that if her mother saw Lu Zhaoxi, she would recognize him as the fake boyfriend from the picture. Fortunately, when they got downstairs, her mother had gone to the restroom and didn't see Lu Zhaoxi.
That evening, Ye Shilan took her mother to stay with her. She asked Author Yao again about Ye Shilan's boyfriend. Author Yao lied that she had met him, saying he was simply a talented and handsome person. Ye's mother felt relieved. After dinner, Ye's mother helped Ye Shilan clean the room. The two also talked about what was on their minds.
Because everyone was doing online shopping and community group buying, her mother's business at the vegetable market was not good. Ye Shilan was in a bad mood that evening. She received a text message from Jiang Huaiming. Director Huang's attitude had softened after eating the walnuts, and he hoped Ye Shilan could also have dinner together to resolve their conflict.
Lu Zhaoxi invited Ye Shilan to have lunch together, but Ye Shilan had already made plans with Author Yao and refused Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan was also worried that her life would be difficult if she went back to pediatrics in the future. Author Yao believed that Lu Zhaoxi wasn't as powerful as the 'overbearing CEO' type in novels, otherwise he could have kicked Director Huang out to protect Ye Shilan. But unfortunately, reality and novels are too different.
Lu Zhaoxi is also a mortal and needs to consider many aspects. In the evening, Director Huang took the departmental staff out for drinks again. After drinking too much, he started bragging endlessly. Everyone had no choice but to endure it and listen, and anyone who picked up their phone was immediately reprimanded. Jiang Huaiming suggested a toast together, which temporarily stopped Director Huang's speech.
But after the drinks were finished, the topic came up again, talking about one person or another. However, someone was already live-streaming Director Huang's behavior and sent it to Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan kept lingering outside the restaurant, not knowing if she should go in. But after thinking it over repeatedly, for her future, she decided to endure it. Finally, she stepped into the restaurant. Hearing Ye Shilan's voice, Lu Zhaoxi was so angry he threw his phone.
He was afraid that since Director Huang was drunk, Ye Shilan going there now would be asking for humiliation. Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoxi quickly rushed out and headed straight for the restaurant. All the way, he wore headphones, listening to Director Huang's various reprimands of Ye Shilan. The more he listened, the faster he ran. It seemed like his feet were flying, and he was about to reach Ye Shilan immediately.
Ye Shilan originally wanted to refute, but she held back. She proactively apologized to Director Huang, offering a penalty of three drinks as an apology. Lu Zhaoxi pushed the door open and entered, smashing the cup in Ye Shilan's hand. He reprimanded Director Huang for arbitrarily occupying everyone's after-work time to listen to him brag and spout nonsense. Director Huang became even angrier, believing that Ye Shilan coming here today was deliberate. Lu Zhaoxi angrily admitted that that was exactly his arrangement. Ye Shilan was so angry that she turned around and left the private room.
Episode 9 Recap
After Ye Shilan left, Lu Zhaoxi followed closely behind her, but Ye Shilan was still angry and blamed Lu Zhaoxi for being nosy. Lu Zhaoxi thought that the current Ye Shilan was different from the Ye Shilan he knew, that one was brave and just, but Ye Shilan said that she needed this job. She wanted to live a better life through her own efforts and wanted to make her mother worry less about her.
She hoped Lu Zhaoxi would stop interfering. Lu Zhaoxi could leave whenever he wanted, but she couldn't. What she needed was this job. Lu Zhaoxi comforted Ye Shilan and hoped she would trust him, saying he would definitely be responsible for Ye Shilan to the end. At this moment, they both had different feelings in their hearts. Although Ye Shilan refused to let Lu Zhaoxi walk her back, Lu Zhaoxi still insisted on accompanying her back.
Ye Shilan also noticed the cut on Lu Zhaoxi's leg that was scratched when he smashed the cup earlier. She bought medicine at the pharmacy to disinfect it for him. The two of them could be considered reconciled. At this moment, Ye's mother suddenly arrived, scaring Ye Shilan, who quickly wanted to take her mother back. Lu Zhaoxi took the initiative to greet her.
Ye's mother also thought Lu Zhaoxi himself was better looking than the picture and full of energy. Seeing that their relationship was good, Ye's mother felt more at ease. Although Lu Zhaoxi felt that the meaning in Ye Shilan's words was a bit off, he still nodded and agreed along with her. Ye Shilan called Lu Zhaoxi when she got back to explain.
Lu Zhaoxi had already guessed that Ye Shilan must have used him as a fake boyfriend and deliberately said they would talk about it tomorrow when they met. Ye Shilan couldn't sleep all night, repeatedly thinking about Lu Zhaoxi's words today, and her heart was a mess. Similarly, Lu Zhaoxi also couldn't sleep well. He didn't know when Ye Shilan secretly took photos of him and inexplicably became Ye Shilan's boyfriend.
But for Lu Zhaoxi, this was a kind of happiness. The next day, Lu Zhaoxi gathered all the medical staff and played Director Huang Baihao's ramblings from yesterday. Huang Baihao downplayed the issue, thinking this was revenge for him speaking ill of Lu Zhaoxi. He especially thought that Ye Shilan's behavior was unreliable and that she wasn't a pediatrician.
Unexpectedly, a pediatrician stood up and admitted that he filmed the video and that the complaint via the mailbox was also from him. Director Xu demanded that Huang Baihao apologize publicly. Lu Zhaoxi publicly announced the removal of Huang Baihao from his director position and that they would select excellent personnel from recommendations and headhunters to serve as the Director of Pediatrics. Everyone unanimously approved, and even Director Xu had to raise his hand in agreement.
At noon, Ye Shilan specifically treated Lu Zhaoxi to barbecue and explained about asking Lu Zhaoxi to pretend to be her boyfriend. Lu Zhaoxi specifically asked to see the photo. Lu Zhaoxi specifically asked Ye Shilan to phrase it well and praise how he looked when he was drunk. Ye Shilan thought that when Lu Zhaoxi was drunk at the time, his blushing face was very cute, and also felt proud to have him as a boyfriend.
Lu Zhaoxi was very satisfied with this. Ye Shilan suggested asking Lu Zhaoxi to help deal with her mother, but Lu Zhaoxi didn't immediately agree. Ye Shilan also gave Lu Zhaoxi a bunch of yellow roses; yellow roses represent apology. Lu Zhaoxi gave the roses for Ye Shilan to hold. Ye Shilan was stunned for a moment, thinking Lu Zhaoxi was going to give them to her.
After her heart fluttered, Lu Zhaoxi instead asked Ye Shilan to put the flowers in the vase in the office. Ye Shilan immediately felt like Lu Zhaoxi was playing a trick on her. Lu Zhaoxi told Lu's mother that his relationship with Ye Shilan was like friends with a lot to talk about, but couldn't be considered dating.
Lu's mother reminded Lu Zhaoxi not to actually become just ordinary friends and also reminded him of the things he should pay attention to when eating with Ye's mother tomorrow. Author Yao also told Ye Shilan to take good advantage of this opportunity to pay attention to Lu Zhaoxi's situation. Maybe after getting familiar this time, Lu Zhaoxi would chat with Ye's mother casually. Ye Shilan complained bitterly, afraid this was a drama without an ending.
Episode 10 Recap
When Lu Zhaoxi saw his mother off, she repeatedly told him to make a good impression tomorrow when accompanying Ye Shilan's mother, to leave a good impression and also leave himself a way out. Lu's mother was actually very fond of Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan sent a message notifying Lu Zhaoxi of an emergency meeting. The content of the meeting was how to implement a series of reaction measures targeting Ye's mother.
She requested that when Lu Zhaoxi invited her mother for dinner tomorrow, he must dress sloppily, and order exactly what Ye Shilan disliked eating. Ye Shilan even specifically wrote down all the things she didn't like to eat. He must also say the car was borrowed from a friend. She only hoped that her mother would be dissatisfied with Lu Zhaoxi by then, so they wouldn't have to pretend to be a couple anymore.
The two discussed this series of precautions for a long time. Lu Zhaoxi believed that after this, his image would be basically completely ruined. To make his performance more realistic, Lu Zhaoxi asked about Ye Shilan's family situation and learned that her mother had remarried, she had a younger half-brother, and her biological father had passed away. Assistant Lin was reading and drinking coffee at Author Yao's place again and met Director Gao, who also came there.
Director Gao specifically asked Assistant Lin about Lu Zhaoxi's situation, afraid that Lu Zhaoxi would be privately dissatisfied with him. Assistant Lin said he wasn't, and Director Gao finally felt relieved. Lu Zhaoxi dressed sloppily at home, originally wanting to cooperate with Ye Shilan, but suddenly remembered Ye Shilan had said her boyfriend was a doctor at Anxing Hospital, which made him think of Jiang Huaiming.
A new feeling of jealousy arose, and Lu Zhaoxi deliberately dressed neatly and drove his own car to pick up Ye Shilan and her mother. Ye's mother asked many things about Lu Zhaoxi. Seeing Lu Zhaoxi being humble and polite towards her mother, Ye Shilan kept coughing, hinting at Lu Zhaoxi to follow the original plan, but Lu Zhaoxi ignored it.
When ordering food, he specifically avoided things Ye Shilan disliked eating, and also avoided things that Ye's mother particularly liked. Ye Shilan's face became increasingly displeased. After eating, Ye Shilan urged Lu Zhaoxi to leave, but Lu Zhaoxi proposed taking Ye's mother for a walk. Ye Shilan, feeling dissatisfied, went to find him while he was paying the bill. Lu Zhaoxi, however, had his own opinion.
He believed that if he was too bad, Ye Shilan would also look down on him, and that would instead make Ye's mother suspicious. Ye Shilan sent a message to Author Yao, thinking Lu Zhaoxi was doing it on purpose. While Ye Shilan was angry, Author Yao was very happy, believing Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi were people with a story.
When pulling Ye's mother to the restroom, Ye Shilan argued with Lu Zhaoxi again, believing Lu Zhaoxi must like her to act that way. Lu Zhaoxi neither denied nor admitted it, teasing Ye Shilan for being too confident. Because Author Yao wrote Assistant Lin into her novel, Assistant Lin specifically sought out Author Yao for a talk.
He believed that her writing him into the novel would affect his mood, and demanded that she change the story's direction to improve Assistant Lin's image in the novel. Just as Author Yao was about to refuse, Assistant Lin threatened her, saying he would tell colleagues she was an author if she didn't cooperate. Helpless, Author Yao could only agree to try.
Ye's mother was also very relieved seeing Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi together and even offered to take pictures of them. However, Ye Shilan lied that her phone was out of battery, but Lu Zhaoxi generously took out his own phone for Ye's mother. To look more like a couple, the two could only hold hands and walk forward as Ye's mother instructed.
A football kicked from the grass flew over and almost hit Ye Shilan, but Lu Zhaoxi blocked it. However, under the impact, the two ended up kissing, which was coincidentally captured by Ye's mother. On the way back, Ye Shilan felt that the kissing photo shouldn't have been taken, but Ye's mother was very satisfied. The day also made Ye's mother very happy.
While Ye Shilan went to the restroom, Ye's mother told Lu Zhaoxi that her biggest worry was always Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan had lived in dorms since she was very young, and she was afraid Ye Shilan would meet bad people. Seeing Lu Zhaoxi treat her so well made her feel more at ease. Ye Shilan's father died by suicide.
Ye's mother specifically instructed him not to bring this up with Ye Shilan again because it was a shadow in Ye Shilan's heart, and she still resented her father to this day. After Ye Shilan returned, she learned that Author Yao had encountered a living model and was unhappy because she was having difficulty revising her manuscript. She teased Author Yao, saying she must have met a handsome living model, which was why she involuntarily wrote him into her novel. To cheer Author Yao up, Ye Shilan even specifically told her about her kiss with Lu Zhaoxi.
Episode 11 Recap
Yao Jiajia was also curious about the photo content and couldn't wait to see the pictures. Ye Shilan immediately asked Lu Zhaoxi to send them over. After seeing the photos sent, Ye Shilan asked Lu Zhaoxi to delete the photos from his phone. As for the kissing photo, Ye Shilan had already secretly deleted it while in the car.
Lu Zhaoxi deleted the photos as Ye Shilan instructed, but he quickly regretted it and found the pictures again in the deleted album, including the one of them kissing. Yao Jiajia also analyzed Lu Zhaoxi's state of mind to Ye Shilan at this time, believing he might have fallen for Ye Shilan but was just being stubborn and refusing to admit it. The next day, Ye Shilan saw her mother off before going to work.
Her mother felt sorry for Ye Shilan and deliberately left some money for her, hoping she could live well, not be troubled by money, and be more generous when interacting with colleagues. To hold it over Ye Shilan, Lu Zhaoxi specifically showed her that photo and asked her to treat him to lunch, which Ye Shilan agreed to. Since the pediatrics department lacked a director, Lu Zhaoxi also wanted to hear Ye Shilan's opinion.
Ye Shilan thought everyone was excellent and she didn't want to gossip behind people's backs. Lu Zhaoxi thought Ye Shilan was also very suitable, but Ye Shilan disagreed, believing that since she was now the Director's Assistant, becoming a director would make people think she used connections. Ye Shilan also genuinely gave objective comments about everyone in the department. However, when Jiang Huaiming was mentioned, both Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi became a little uncomfortable.
Ye Shilan didn't want to say much, while Lu Zhaoxi felt like something was stuck in his throat when Jiang Huaiming was brought up. During lunch, Lu Zhaoxi suggested they take a photo together and send it to her mother to reassure her. He said he would end this game whenever Ye Shilan found someone. Ye Shilan agreed and also found Lu Zhaoxi very considerate, believing he would find a good girlfriend in the future.
However, Lu Zhaoxi didn't like hearing that and asked Ye Shilan what she thought of Jiang Huaiming in return. Ye Shilan thought Jiang Huaiming was a relatively excellent person in all aspects, but Lu Zhaoxi decided to investigate himself before saying anything further.
When Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan returned to the office, they were joking about when they would start figuring out a reason to break up, but when they turned around, they found Lu Zhengshan standing in the office. Lu Zhengshan had already learned about Ye Shilan from his wife and reminded Lu Zhaoxi to be careful with relationships, telling him not to mess around just because he was the director.
Lu Zhaoxi also stated that Ye Shilan was just a temporary assistant and would soon return to pediatrics. Regarding the matter of Ji Zixing coming here, Lu Zhengshan suggested finding a way to handle her matter well, not just handle it, but do it beautifully, and hoped Lu Zhaoxi could secure his position. Lu Zhaoxi also reminded his father that his mother's birthday was approaching and to prepare a gift in advance.
Seeing the harmonious relationship between Lu Zhaoxi and his father made Ye Shilan think of her own father, and the two relationships were completely different. Lu Zhaoxi knew that Ye Shilan had added Ji Zixing on WeChat and planned to help Ji Zixing develop a perfect plan together. At the same time, Lu Zhaoxi also reminded Ye Shilan that no matter what, she should believe she is not alone.
In the evening, Yao Jiajia also cooked instant noodles and bought cake, chatting with Ye Shilan while they ate. The two talked about her current relationship with Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan sometimes felt very close, sometimes even felt it was liking, but they were still different kinds of people. Yao Jiajia also drew some material from Ye Shilan.
When Ye Shilan returned to her room, she looked at the photo of her father tucked in a book, and her thoughts went back many years. Ye Shilan happened to come looking for her father to buy a cake and saw him being scolded by a foreman. She said she didn't want to buy a cake anymore, feeling her father had it tough.
But her father thought everyone encountered unhappiness at work, but it didn't affect buying a cake for a birthday. Everyone's life is different, and there's no need to compare with others; just being successful as yourself is enough.
Episode 12 Recap
Ye Shilan came to Lu Zhaoxi's home again and ran into Lu's mother, who introduced herself as Aunt Peng. Lu's mother subtly probed Ye Shilan about her impression of Lu Zhaoxi and asked if she liked Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan felt happy inside, but wasn't sure about Lu Zhaoxi's feelings, so she said that this kind of thing couldn't be one-sided.
At this moment, Ye Shilan received a message from Lu Zhaoxi, proposing that Ye Shilan accompany him to buy a gift. Ye Shilan said goodbye and left. Ye Shilan took a taxi to the mall entrance to meet Lu Zhaoxi. The moment she saw Lu Zhaoxi, she suddenly felt a sense of trance, as if life had hope, and she had a boyfriend accompanying her shopping after work. Lu Zhaoxi planned to pick a gift for his mother.
Ye Shilan actually already knew from "Aunt Peng" that she was Lu's mother. She also knew that Lu Zhaoxi had dated several girlfriends before, but none for long, as he broke up with them when he didn't feel it was true love. Lu Zhaoxi was annoyed that his mother had confessed everything to Ye Shilan. While they were shopping together that day, they saw a dress. Lu Zhaoxi suggested Ye Shilan try it on.
When Ye Shilan stood in front of him wearing the dress, Lu Zhaoxi's eyes lit up. However, Ye Shilan had her own savings plan and could only buy the dress after she got paid. Now the pediatrics department needed to select a suitable director. Dr. Zeng and Jiang Huaiming were both strong competitors.
Jiang Huaiming's girlfriend was afraid Ye Shilan would speak ill of him in front of Lu Zhaoxi, so she planned to ask Director Xu to speak up for Jiang Huaiming. But Jiang Huaiming blurted out that Ye Shilan was not that kind of person and wouldn't speak ill of him. He also apologized to his girlfriend, saying he had hidden something: it wasn't that Ye Shilan's confession was unsuccessful, but that they had dated for a period before.
Lu Zhaoxi, Ye Shilan, and Assistant Lin were also discussing how to tackle the difficult problem of Ms. Ji. Ye Shilan believed that although Ms. Ji had rejected their plan before, there was still room for maneuver because she hadn't completely closed the door. Lu Zhaoxi happened to think the same way, and the two quickly formulated a plan. One day, a girl named Qiao Yu suddenly appeared.
She seemed very familiar with Lu Zhaoxi, and Lu Zhaoxi was also very clear about Qiao Yu's preferences, asking Ye Shilan to make her favorite coffee. All these actions made Ye Shilan feel a bit jealous. Lu Zhaoxi asked Ye Shilan to pick up the custom jewelry. Ye Shilan was waiting for Lu Zhaoxi at the bus stop. It was raining heavily. Suddenly, someone fainted on the ground. Without a second thought, Ye Shilan rushed over and performed CPR.
At the same time, she asked someone to call for an ambulance. Lu Zhaoxi arrived at this moment, shielded Ye Shilan with an umbrella, and different feelings arose in his heart. It wasn't until Ye Shilan watched the ambulance take the patient away that she suddenly remembered putting the jewelry on the ground to save the person, but it was gone. Lu Zhaoxi held Ye Shilan's hand and claimed he had already taken it, which put Ye Shilan at ease.
Lu Zhaoxi didn't bother to see his guest and took Ye Shilan back to take a hot shower. At this point, Ye Shilan was soaked to the bone. Looking at the rainbow outside, Ye Shilan felt joyful and quickly took photos like a child. Lu Zhaoxi also found that the more he interacted with Ye Shilan, the more different sides of her he saw, and these different sides all delighted him. After getting out of the car, Ye Shilan couldn't wait to photograph the rainbow in the sky, and Lu Zhaoxi followed behind her, his eyes full of affection.
Episode 13 Recap
The image of Ye Shilan saving someone just now kept appearing before Lu Zhaoxi. He couldn't help but tease Ye Shilan, saying that version was the most charming and beautiful, completely different from the current Ye Shilan who was taking photos of the rainbow like a big fool. The two took photos of each other. Lu Zhaoxi also deliberately posed in various mischievous ways for photos.
Ye Shilan couldn't help but smile as she looked at those photos, while Lu Zhaoxi watched silently from the side. Yao Jiajia recently had new ideas and new motivation for writing novels. She felt that people should step out of their comfort zone to find different versions of themselves. These words also touched Ye Shilan, and Ye Shilan was very grateful to Yao Jiajia. Afterwards, Ye Shilan went to find Lu Zhaoxi to analyze Ms. Ji's true intentions.
She guessed that perhaps she was outwardly opposing the documentary filming, but didn't state her real intention. Maybe she wanted to participate in the documentary filming, but didn't say it explicitly, forcing them to guess. Ye Shilan's words also enlightened Lu Zhaoxi. That evening, the two went out to eat together and talked about their sad experiences in relationships.
Lu Zhaoxi also asked the question he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare: that Ye Shilan and Jiang Huaiming were sad because the confession was unsuccessful and went to the countryside. The result was that he learned Ye Shilan and Jiang Huaiming were originally lovers, but after they were together, they often argued and their personalities clashed, so they separated.
However, at the time, she had already told her mother that her boyfriend was a doctor, but she hadn't sent a photo to her mother. Later, she kept delaying, and when she wanted to explain clearly, she couldn't. Not wanting her mother to be disappointed, she used Lu Zhaoxi's photo. When Lu Zhaoxi heard that Jiang Huaiming was not Ye Shilan's unforgettable love, he couldn't be happier.
After returning, he danced alone to music, his mind filled with thoughts of Ye Shilan. Dean Xu thought that Lu Zhaoxi had a low opinion of Jiang Huaiming, possibly because he had heard something from Ye Shilan.
Therefore, he deliberately apologized to Ye Shilan in front of Lu Zhaoxi, explaining that the patient she had brought up at the time was not refused without reason, because he had seen the medical record before and knew that he couldn't treat them at all. Although he had performed similar surgeries, the situations were different and could not be generalized. Lu Zhaoxi, however, explained that how he treated Jiang Huaiming was not because of anything Ye Shilan said.
He also spoke frankly with Dean Xu about many things, knowing that Dean Xu was completely unconvinced by him, this young dean who had been parachuted in. Dean Xu also admitted his views without reservation. When Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi were eating lunch together, Lu Zhaoxi half-jokingly and half-seriously stated that he indeed had an issue with Jiang Huaiming because he was jealous. As Ye Shilan's current boyfriend, he also had the right to be jealous.
Ye Shilan couldn't help but laugh and reminded Lu Zhaoxi not to forget that their relationship was fake. Qiao Yu was Lu Zhaoxi's ex. Lu Zhaoxi specifically asked if Ye Shilan would agree if he and Qiao Yu got back together. Ye Shilan, against her will, said she wholeheartedly agreed. This single sentence made Lu Zhaoxi lose his appetite.
That evening, when Ye Shilan's mother called her, she advised Ye Shilan to show more respect to Lu Zhaoxi's mother and visit her often when she had nothing else to do. She also specifically mailed some cured sausages over. Ye Shilan had been unhappy, and she also told Yao Jiajia about her unhappiness because Qiao Yu would also participate in the documentary filming this time, and maybe the two of them would rekindle their old flame.
Ye Shilan also said she felt a bit uncomfortable, but she also figured it out: she had begged Lu Zhaoxi to help her pretend to be her boyfriend, so now she shouldn't hinder his potential marriage. Before, she and Lu Zhaoxi had also been a bit unrestrained. She planned to keep her distance from now on. Lu Zhaoxi was also not in the mood to exercise at home, repeatedly thinking about Ye Shilan's words saying she wholeheartedly agreed.
Meanwhile, Ye Shilan also tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about how casual and intimate Qiao Yu and Lu Zhaoxi were together. She felt uncomfortable inside and had insomnia that night. The next morning, both Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi went to work yawning. But Lu Zhaoxi still brought Ye Shilan dessert. Today, Ye Shilan changed the office flowers to tulips, which represent purity.
She also proposed that she and Lu Zhaoxi should be qualified superiors and subordinates, and only be friends after work. At the same time, she said she would clarify things with Qiao Yu to avoid misunderstandings. Lu Zhaoxi was so angry that he closed the door, wanting to confront Ye Shilan about what she was really thinking. Just then, Assistant Lin arrived and reminded Lu Zhaoxi that he had a meeting.
On the way home from work, Lu Zhaoxi kept thinking about Ye Shilan's words, as well as his father's warning not to mess around with relationships just because he was in a position of power. Assistant Lin noticed Lu Zhaoxi's distress and offered his opinion, saying that the whole world could see that Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi liked each other, but only they themselves kept avoiding it. In Assistant Lin's view, Ye Shilan was just better at keeping her composure than Lu Zhaoxi.
Episode 14 Recap
Ye Shilan helped Lu Zhaoxi tidy his room. Qiao Yu and Wang Mei returned together, and seeing them laughing and talking made Ye Shilan feel uncomfortable. She went out alone to get Lu Zhaoxi's dry cleaning but was not in a hurry to return. Instead, she ate a bowl of ice cream at an ice cream shop.
When she returned, she found that Qiao Yu and Wang Mei still had endless topics to talk about, and Ye Shilan's mood became even lower. Assistant Lin asked Yao Jiajia to meet. Yao Jiajia thought he wanted her to revise her manuscript again and immediately refused. But unexpectedly, Assistant Lin just provided some material about business and the workplace, because he felt Yao Jiajia was a bit hesitant when writing about business-related things, possibly due to lack of understanding.
Yao Jiajia was quite grateful to Assistant Lin for this. Lu Zhaoxi told his mother that he liked Ye Shilan. At first, he just thought about being a fake boyfriend, but now he subjectively wants to be a real boyfriend, just afraid of saying it and being rejected. Ye Shilan was also depressed and clearly felt she was jealous. She also told Yao Jiajia about this feeling. Yao Jiajia hoped Ye Shilan could respect her true inner wishes.
In the evening, Ye Shilan sat on her bed, looking through the various photos she had taken with Lu Zhaoxi, her lips unconsciously curling upwards. Early the next morning, Ye Shilan prepared some of her experiences and gave them to Lu Zhaoxi, hoping that any new assistant could use them in the future. Especially about the flowers; at least Lu Zhaoxi never had any objections to the ones she bought, which showed he was relatively satisfied.
But Lu Zhaoxi said it was because those flowers were given by Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan didn't understand this sentence. Instead, she praised Lu Zhaoxi as a good leader who understood tolerance. Just as Lu Zhaoxi wanted to say something else, Qiao Yu came to notify Lu Zhaoxi that he should make an appearance for the video shoot. Lu Zhaoxi turned around and asked Ye Shilan if she wanted to have lunch together, but Ye Shilan immediately refused.
Ye Shilan wanted to practice driving. Lu Zhaoxi specifically came during the weekend to teach her. Ye Shilan was still feeling jealous and thought Lu Zhaoxi should be with the girl he liked and shouldn't be accompanying her to practice driving. But Lu Zhaoxi said what he was doing was called valuing friends over romance. Ye Shilan was a bit worried driving Lu Zhaoxi's expensive car, afraid of damaging it.
On the contrary, Lu Zhaoxi persuaded Ye Shilan to relax, saying he was right there beside her. Only then did Ye Shilan drive with courage. At this moment, Assistant Lin suddenly called. Lu Zhaoxi instinctively answered the call and learned that the police had informed him that the thief who stole the necklace had been caught. Guilt suddenly rose in Ye Shilan's heart.
She also knew that Lu Zhaoxi had actually lost the necklace but had lied and claimed he had taken it. Lu Zhaoxi advised Ye Shilan not to blame herself, saying the thief had been caught, and especially since Ye Shilan had lost it when she was saving someone, he couldn't let her feel uncomfortable. Since Lu Zhaoxi wanted to eat the food Ye Shilan cooked, Ye Shilan took him home.
Lu Zhaoxi leaned against the door and stood there, looking at Ye Shilan's busy figure in the kitchen. His heart was filled with happiness. At this time, Yao Jiajia had also benefited greatly from the information she had received from Assistant Lin last time. She specifically suggested adding each other on WeChat. Just by looking, she knew Assistant Lin must be a corporate executive. She even promised to cover Assistant Lin's coffee from now on.
To thank Assistant Lin, she specifically treated him to a meal. Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi had dinner together. Lu Zhaoxi was full of praise for Ye Shilan's cooking skills. Ye Shilan drank a glass of wine and also talked about her father.
Episode 15 Recap
Ye Shilan told Lu Zhaoxi about her father's suicide. Her father had always wanted to buy a house for them back then, which is why he took on a construction project. But something went wrong, he lost money, and seeing no hope, he committed suicide. Since then, Ye Shilan kept telling herself that only by working hard would everything get better. Ever since her father wanted to buy a house, she always fantasized about how to decorate it.
Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi opened up and talked a lot. Meanwhile, Yao Jiajia and Assistant Lin were also having a very pleasant conversation, feeling like kindred spirits who could drink a thousand cups together. Assistant Lin outwardly claimed that his friend liked reading Yao Jiajia's books, which was why he was so familiar with the characters, but in reality, Assistant Lin himself enjoyed reading them, though he didn't tell Yao Jiajia.
After dinner, Lu Zhaoxi proactively helped Ye Shilan wash the dishes. Ye Shilan accidentally bumped her head, and Lu Zhaoxi rushed over to help massage it. The close proximity caused both their hormones to surge. When the passion was strong, they couldn't help but kiss each other. Just then, Yao Jiajia called, asking if Ye Shilan needed anything brought back. Ye Shilan quickly made Lu Zhaoxi leave.
It wasn't until he got downstairs that Lu Zhaoxi suddenly realized that they had acted like they were having an affair. That night, Ye Shilan was annoyed, wondering how she would face Lu Zhaoxi tomorrow. Lu Zhaoxi, however, believed he had confirmed Ye Shilan's feelings and that she definitely liked him. But Assistant Lin poured cold water on his thoughts, his intuition telling him that things would still change.
As expected, when she went to work, Ye Shilan proactively sought out Lu Zhaoxi to clarify things, stating that everything yesterday was due to the effects of alcohol and not genuine affection. Lu Zhaoxi was speechless by Ye Shilan's words. When Ye Shilan saw Qiao Yu come to find Lu Zhaoxi and go to dinner with him, she felt a sour taste in her mouth.
In the evening, when Lu Zhaoxi got off work, he specifically asked Ye Shilan to get the dress she had liked last time, claiming it was for his mother's birthday the day after tomorrow and he wanted Qiao Yu to wear it for the celebration. Ye Shilan was quite unwilling but had no choice but to go. Lu Zhaoxi deliberately invited Qiao Yu to swim together and also asked Ye Shilan to bring the dress to the swimming pool.
Just as Ye Shilan was about to arrive, Lu Zhaoxi intentionally jumped into the water and they splashed water and played games. Ye Shilan watched this scene, felt even more unpleasant, threw down the dress, and left in a huff. Qiao Yu could see that Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi liked each other, but neither of them was making it clear.
Qiao Yu was already friends with Lu Zhaoxi at this point and advised him that if he continued to play games, he might really make Ye Shilan leave. After Ye Shilan returned, she complained to Yao Jiajia, venting about what had happened today.
But Yao Jiajia also talked about the concept of love in novels, where sometimes the male lead deliberately does things to provoke the female lead's jealousy, and then the female lead can directly kiss the male lead at the swimming pool. But for Ye Shilan, this was almost unimaginable. Ye Shilan waited anxiously in the office. Most of the day passed, but she didn't see Lu Zhaoxi, nor did she have any messages from him on her phone.
Ye Shilan felt uneasy. While she was restless, Lu Zhaoxi called and specifically gave Ye Shilan half a day off. He was also waiting at the entrance of Ye Shilan's residential complex. Lu Zhaoxi proposed asking Ye Shilan to pretend to be his girlfriend for his mother's birthday, falsely claiming that Qiao Yu was busy and couldn't go. Ye Shilan refused. Lu Zhaoxi then brought out the IOU that Ye Shilan had left in a recording, threatening her. Ye Shilan had no choice but to agree to help. When she brought the dress back, Ye Shilan had a smile on her face.
Episode 16 Recap
Because Ye Shilan thought of what Yao Jiajia had said last night. Yao Jiajia believed that Lu Zhaoxi must like Ye Shilan and would definitely say his ex-girlfriend was busy and couldn't go tomorrow, asking Ye Shilan to help. Then, Yao Jiajia suggested Ye Shilan pretend to refuse as a way to advance. Now, seeing that the plan was working, Ye Shilan could hardly conceal her inner joy. Ye Shilan specially dressed up.
Lu Zhaoxi drove to pick up Ye Shilan for dinner. Along the way, Ye Shilan frequently mentioned Qiao Yu and compared herself to Qiao Yu. Lu Zhaoxi smelled a car full of jealousy. Ye Shilan also specifically asked about Lu Zhaoxi's parents' preferences to avoid being at a loss when interacting with them. Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan also specifically went to buy flowers and a cake.
After they returned, the two began to set up things needed for the evening's birthday party. Watching Ye Shilan busy herself, Lu Zhaoxi also played music, thoroughly enjoying the current feeling. Lu Zhaoxi asked Ye Shilan what kind of flower she thought she was. Ye Shilan felt she wasn't like a flower, but more like a leaf, born towards the sun with strong vitality.
Lu Zhaoxi confessed that if Ye Shilan were a leaf, he would never be able to see any flowers again. In the evening, the family celebrated Lu Zhaoxi's mother's birthday. Lu Zhaoxi's father suddenly asked Ye Shilan what she thought of Lu Zhaoxi as the dean. Lu Zhaoxi's mother advised him not to worry too much about young people's affairs, adding that Ye Shilan had come specifically for her sake today.
Lu Zhaoxi's father then stopped talking about serious topics, and the four of them finished the birthday celebration in a pleasant atmosphere. After seeing off Lu Zhaoxi's parents, Ye Shilan helped tidy up the room and felt that Lu Zhaoxi's family atmosphere was truly good, which made her think of her own father.
When Lu Zhaoxi drove Ye Shilan back, he formally confessed his feelings to her, saying he admitted defeat and acknowledged that he indeed liked Ye Shilan, and hoped to continue pursuing her. Ye Shilan also mentioned she had something to tell Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi nervously pulled over, and the two found a spot by the roadside to talk alone. Ye Shilan also expressed that she liked Lu Zhaoxi and appreciated his liking her.
She liked Lu Zhaoxi but was also afraid of his liking, worried that his feelings were a form of sympathy because he had seen her in a disheveled state. Lu Zhaoxi, however, said that he liked the Ye Shilan who always loved life. He had sympathy, but it was more about liking Ye Shilan.
Ye Shilan was afraid that their pretense as a couple would give Lu Zhaoxi the illusion of liking her, just as she herself had enjoyed the feeling of being a couple very early on. But Lu Zhaoxi also said that he had actually liked Ye Shilan even earlier, it was an involuntary liking, an involuntary desire to get closer.
He liked listening to Ye Shilan talk, liked chatting with Ye Shilan, and genuinely liked Ye Shilan from the bottom of his heart. Lu Zhaoxi leaned in twice, wanting to kiss Ye Shilan, but was interrupted by Ye Shilan's unfinished words. Ye Shilan also said that she was someone with not much luck and was quite awkward. She wanted to gain but was also afraid of losing. Lu Zhaoxi couldn't fully empathize but could understand Ye Shilan's heart.
When Ye Shilan finished speaking, she took the initiative to kiss Lu Zhaoxi. Although many things in the world are uncertain, if good things come, one should seize them. Lu Zhaoxi also passionately kissed Ye Shilan back. Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan held hands and went back together. Lu Zhaoxi was worried that Ye Shilan would wake up tomorrow and say the kiss was an accident.
Ye Shilan said that things she had made up her mind about wouldn't change easily, and she even specifically kissed Lu Zhaoxi to seal the deal. After returning, Ye Shilan shared her relationship news with Yao Jiajia. Yao Jiajia praised Ye Shilan's progress, and Ye Shilan also said she would read more romance novels written by Yao Jiajia in the future. After spending a happy and sweet night, they welcomed the arrival of a new day.
Episode 17 Recap
Lu Zhaoxi came to pick up Ye Shilan for work early in the morning. Along the way, Ye Shilan seemed a bit preoccupied and suggested that the news of them being together should not be announced yet, worrying that gossip might affect Lu Zhaoxi. But Qiao Yu and Assistant Lin could be told. Lu Zhaoxi agreed. To hide their relationship, Lu Zhaoxi could only agree to occasionally pick up Ye Shilan.
He also suggested that Ye Shilan drive, after all, Ye Shilan was now the assistant, and driving was normal. Ye Shilan readily agreed. A doctor downstairs got married and handed out wedding candies. Lu Zhaoxi also brought some back for Ye Shilan. The two agreed to go out together in the evening. Assistant Lin came to Yao Jiajia's place for dinner. Seeing Assistant Lin eat quickly, Yao Jiajia specially reminded him to take care of his stomach.
At the same time, she shared her current writing progress and the current good reviews from her fans. Someone even helped retort against those who left bad comments. And that person, surprisingly to Yao Jiajia, turned out to be Assistant Lin. She felt even more grateful to Assistant Lin. After work in the evening, Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi skillfully held hands and went out to eat together.
Ye Shilan also told him her best friend's evaluation of them, believing they were "rational tea," two people who liked each other but kept up appearances and refused to admit it. Ye Shilan also told Lu Zhaoxi about Yao Jiajia's work colliding with reality (referring to Kevin Lin liking her novels). Next, Lu Zhaoxi arranged a hospital free clinic. The location of the free clinic was Taoyuan Village. Hearing this, Ye Shilan also wanted to go along.
Lu Zhaoxi had already listed her on the doctors' roster. And he also planned for the two of them to have a date this time under the guise of a team-building event. Ye Shilan happily offered food and fed Lu Zhaoxi. The two ate together and watched a movie together. Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan went back together. In the car, Ye Shilan posted on her Moments. Lu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered that he had never seen Ye Shilan's Moments.
When he asked, he found out she had blocked him. Ye Shilan immediately said she would unblock him. Ye Shilan discovered that Assistant Lin had even liked Yao Jiajia's Moments post. Upon asking, she learned that Assistant Lin was called Kevin Lin. After returning, Ye Shilan also told Yao Jiajia about what she had discovered. Yao Jiajia also analyzed that actually, Kevin Lin had no friends who liked her novels at all. In reality, Kevin Lin liked her novels himself.
Yao Jiajia planned to tease Kevin Lin a little and instructed Ye Shilan to definitely pretend she didn't know anything. When Kevin Lin was at work, he could tell from Lu Zhaoxi's beaming expression that he was already together with Ye Shilan. In the evening, Dean Gao specially invited Kevin Lin for dinner.
He wanted to inquire about the recent audit investigation of the hospital, worried this time it was targeting him, and hoped to get some information from Kevin Lin. Dean Gao saw Ye Shilan buying coffee for Lu Zhaoxi and specifically inquired if the free clinic trip was also Ye Shilan's suggestion. Ye Shilan denied it, stating that Lu Zhaoxi had proposed it himself. Lu Zhaoxi was in his office at this time.
He couldn't help but smile unconsciously while looking at the green plant Ye Shilan had bought on the table because Ye Shilan had said that she was a green leaf. During lunch break, Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi strolled together in a nearby park. Lu Zhaoxi was curious why Ye Shilan was so good at dating, if it was because she had read Yao Jiajia's novels.
Ye Shilan denied it, but she also admitted that Yao Jiajia would occasionally dictate when she got excited about writing. Lu Zhaoxi immediately wanted a "modern romance stamp." Ye Shilan gave him a kiss. Because Ye Shilan had suggested to Lu Zhaoxi about preparing a lounge for the pediatrics masseuses, as a result, it was implemented. People in the pediatrics department teased Ye Shilan about being Lu Zhaoxi's favorite and that all her suggestions could get approved.
Ye Shilan, adding this to the fact that she was dating Lu Zhaoxi, always felt a bit guilty. When they ate together in the evening, she told Lu Zhaoxi about her uneasiness. At the same time, she also mentioned meeting Dean Gao. Lu Zhaoxi believed that Dean Gao was a cunning and scheming person, and it was best to talk less.
Lu Zhaoxi accompanied Ye Shilan to buy gifts for Director Fu and his wife, hoping to bring them when they went to Taoyuan Village. As a result, the two holding hands were photographed by someone hired by Dean Gao, and this discovery was reported to Dean Gao. Dean Gao had always suspected the two were dating. In fact, two months ago, Dean Gao had sent someone to investigate Ye Shilan and knew about Ye Shilan's father's suicide.
Episode 18 Recap
Led by Lu Zhaoxi, Ye Shilan, Qiao Yu, and another Doctor Zeng also went to Taoyuan Village together. When Qiao Yu saw Ye Shilan, they also teased together about Lu Zhaoxi using Qiao Yu as a tool person before. Qiao Yu hoped Ye Shilan wouldn't be angry, but Ye Shilan, on the contrary, thanked Qiao Yu, saying it was precisely because of her that she was able to speed up getting together with Lu Zhaoxi.
At this time, at the clinic in Taoyuan Village, things for the consultation were already prepared. The director and his wife were playing chess together, waiting for Lu Zhaoxi and others to arrive. At this time, a helper named Xiao Su had already arrived at the clinic. The director also really liked Xiao Su's optimism and liveliness. In the car, Qiao Yu deliberately asked Doctor Zeng, teasing about what kind of woman Lu Zhaoxi liked.
Lu Zhaoxi quickly explained from the side that he already had a girlfriend, and he also clearly stated that he and Qiao Yu had dated for a while, but neither party was interested and they quickly separated, just in case Ye Shilan misunderstood. As for his performance today, Ye Shilan was quite satisfied. She even took the opportunity while moving things to kiss Lu Zhaoxi's face, leaving a lipstick mark.
Fearing someone would see, she hastily provided cover and urged Lu Zhaoxi to find a place to wash it off. During the free clinic in Taoyuan Village, many patients came. There were also doctors who went door-to-door to provide services. Lu Zhaoxi also saw Huang Baihao's serious manner while seeing patients. Lu Zhaoxi directly gave away some of Huang Baihao's books as well. This also deeply moved Huang Baihao, as he believed this was Lu Zhaoxi letting bygones be bygones.
Lu Zhaoxi admitted it was because of Ye Shilan's suggestion, and Huang Baihao was also grateful to Ye Shilan. Kevin Lin hadn't come to the coffee shop for a few days. Yao Jiajia missed him a little and wanted to send a message several times but ultimately held back. As it turned out, Kevin Lin came to find Yao Jiajia. Yao Jiajia pretended to be mysterious, claiming she could see a person's real situation.
She deliberately said Kevin Lin worked in a hospital, had friends who were dating, and also had a secret he couldn't tell. Kevin Lin also accurately judged from Yao Jiajia's words that she knew Ye Shilan. The two understood each other implicitly and laughed. Ye Shilan was going to stay at the clinic at night and not go to the guesthouse. Lu Zhaoxi deliberately said he wanted to stay together too.
Ye Shilan immediately objected, fearing someone would see their relationship. Lu Zhaoxi deliberately teased that Ye Shilan must have had improper thoughts about him, while he just wanted to stay in the infusion room. Ye Shilan shyly chased Lu Zhaoxi with a small stick to hit him. It happened to be seen by the clinic director and his wife, who teased Ye Shilan for being brave enough to hit the director.
Yao Jiajia and Kevin Lin made their relationship clear to each other, and both felt it was a bit miraculous. Kevin Lin also honestly said that he had been following Yao Jiajia's novels for a long time and regarded her as his idol. This was also a meeting between a fan and an idol. When the two first met, seeing the author in front of him, Kevin Lin was quite excited at that moment.
While Ye Shilan was chatting with her mother, Lu Zhaoxi insisted on coming over to join the call. He also enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to visit Ye Shilan's mother. Ye Shilan's mother was very happy. Ye Shilan was also a bit worried. She hadn't told her mother that Lu Zhaoxi was the director, fearing she would be worried and would need a long time to process it.
Early the next morning, the deputy director suggested introducing Ye Shilan and Xiao Su to each other. Xiao Su liked the idea and kept asking Ye Shilan for her opinion of him. Ye Shilan looked up and glanced at Lu Zhaoxi next to her.
Episode 19 Recap
Lu Zhaoxi was jealous of Xiao Su's attitude towards Ye Shilan. While washing dishes, he deliberately kissed Ye Shilan's lips to declare his ownership and comfort himself. Soon, the people from Anxing Hospital were leaving. The director specially prepared a lot of fruits and vegetables for them to take back, as a blessing for Ye Shilan buying a house and moving into a new home.
Ye Shilan immediately said that after she moved into her new home in a while, she would definitely invite the director to visit, and if he didn't go, she would return everything. The director laughed heartily and promised he would go. Kevin Lin and Yao Jiajia ate together. Yao Jiajia was also worried about Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi being together, because the gap in their statuses was too large, and she was afraid Ye Shilan would suffer.
But Kevin Lin believed that Lu Zhaoxi genuinely liked Ye Shilan, and their backgrounds were not an issue. Kevin Lin voluntarily became Yao Jiajia's agent, hoping to find a publisher for her novel. This made Yao Jiajia very happy, and she immediately agreed. Ye Shilan specially made coffee for Lu Zhaoxi, and the two went to the park outside to taste it together. Today was payday, and Ye Shilan offered to treat Lu Zhaoxi to dinner tonight.
Lu Zhaoxi, however, didn't care about payday at all and had never had financial troubles. Ye Shilan was different; she always had to consider the credit card repayment date. At this time, Doctor Zeng and another colleague came over. Ye Shilan quickly released Lu Zhaoxi's hand. When Lu Zhaoxi returned to the office, he pretended his hand hurt, until Ye Shilan kissed the back of his hand, then he was fine.
In the pediatrics office, everyone was spreading rumors about Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi being together, but Jiang Huaiming thought that only the matter of her being his assistant was true, and the rest were just groundless rumors. Lu Zhaoxi knew Ye Shilan really wanted to save money to buy a house, so he offered to lend her money, letting her repay him monthly. However, Ye Shilan didn't want Lu Zhaoxi to become her creditor.
Afterwards, Ye Shilan took Lu Zhaoxi to buy clothes, considering it a gift in return for the little dress she received last time. Kevin Lin called Lu Zhaoxi and told him about the hospital rumors. Lu Zhaoxi didn't care. Instead, Ye Shilan linked her arm through Lu Zhaoxi's, saying that if they were really seen by someone, she wouldn't avoid the issue. Ye Shilan would also be returning to pediatrics soon.
Yao Jiajia asked Ye Shilan if she was happy and also teased her, saying that she wouldn't be able to see Lu Zhaoxi as easily once she returned to pediatrics. The next day, when Ye Shilan went to work, she specially cleaned Lu Zhaoxi's office inside and out and changed the water for the green plants. Today was her last day as his assistant.
Ye Shilan taught Lu Zhaoxi how to change the water for the green plants and how to care for them. Ye Shilan also said that the meaning behind her buying this potted plant was for it to accompany Lu Zhaoxi on her behalf. Director Gao actively invited Director Xu to his office for tea. Director Xu also saw that Director Gao had something on his mind and frankly asked directly.
Director Gao then mentioned the rumors about Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi. Director Xu thought it was a private matter between the two of them and he didn't want to interfere. However, Director Gao believed that Lu Zhaoxi's father would not openly support this matter, and he also wanted to help Director Xu get Lu Zhaoxi to leave quickly, provided that he also needed Director Gao's help.
Ye Shilan also perfected Kevin Lin's work plan by adding content from her time as assistant, and handed it over to Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi, in a businesslike manner, shook hands to express his thanks, feeling that Ye Shilan had truly worked hard during this period.
Qiao Yu arranged to meet with Lu Zhaoxi, thinking that Lu Zhaoxi must really like Ye Shilan, which was why he had been enduring and suppressing their secret relationship, with the aim of not wanting to make things difficult for Ye Shilan.
Episode 20 Recap
Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi went to play tennis together. After several matches, Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi were tied. From the beginning, Ye Shilan won, but later, due to lack of stamina, she was defeated. Lu Zhaoxi thought Ye Shilan was too competitive, but Ye Shilan said that when she saw a chance to win, she wanted to win the match.
However, after a short break, Ye Shilan insisted on continuing to compete with Lu Zhaoxi, determined to defeat him. Kevin Lin calculated Yao Jiajia's off-duty time and specially came to find her. To help Yao Jiajia find inspiration, he specially took her to play games. They played shooting games, basketball, and rode motorcycles, all getting into character, which also made Yao Jiajia exceptionally excited. Finally, they played claw machines together.
Kevin Lin held Yao Jiajia's hand to operate the machine and caught quite a few dolls. Kevin Lin gave a portion of them to a boy who was chasing them around the arcade, in Yao Jiajia's name. After a day of playing tennis, Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi returned home exhausted. Lu Zhaoxi helped Ye Shilan relax her muscles, which made Ye Shilan yell in pain. Just then, Lu Zhaoxi's parents returned.
Thinking they had stumbled upon an awkward situation, they quickly tried to slip away. Fortunately, Lu Zhaoxi and Ye Shilan spotted them, which resolved the misunderstanding and embarrassment. That evening, Ye Shilan personally cooked at Lu Zhaoxi's house. Lu Zhaoxi's parents praised her cooking endlessly. Lu Zhengshan suddenly asked about Ye Shilan's parents. Ye Shilan paused briefly, then truthfully explained her situation.
In fact, she had also begun to learn to let go and was no longer afraid of people asking about her father. On the way back home, Lu Zhaoxi told Ye Shilan that there were rumors at the hospital that they were dating. Ye Shilan felt a little uneasy, fearing she would be treated differently. Lu Zhaoxi comforted Ye Shilan, saying that as long as neither of them admitted it, the matter would quickly pass.
The next day, Ye Shilan returned to her post in pediatrics. Everyone started asking Ceng Xinyu whether Ye Shilan was dating the director. Ceng Xinyu denied it; she was also anxious, not knowing why she had become the source of the rumors. That evening, the pediatric doctors had a collective dinner and also talked about whether Lu Zhaoxi had a girlfriend.
Ye Shilan publicly denied it, while some people also thought that Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi were not a good match to begin with. Rumors even suggested that Lu Zhaoxi was a playboy and was just toying with Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan felt very uncomfortable. Ceng Xinyu also found Ye Shilan privately to explain that she hadn't spread the rumors, and Ye Shilan expressed her trust. Later, Ye Shilan received a message from Lu Zhaoxi.
She deliberately tricked Lu Zhaoxi by saying her colleagues had all left. Lu Zhaoxi came specifically to pick up Ye Shilan, but they were seen holding hands by all her colleagues. Ye Shilan told Lu Zhaoxi that because everyone was saying Lu Zhaoxi was just playing with her feelings, she deliberately had Lu Zhaoxi come to clear his name. Now, at least, a weight had been lifted from her heart. As for what happens next, she no longer cared.
Lu Zhaoxi, however, really wanted to make their relationship public. Because Ye Shilan announced that she was Lu Zhaoxi's girlfriend, Gao Xuan even asked her to speak on stage at a meeting, thinking that as the director's girlfriend, she might be more persuasive. Ye Shilan felt unhappy about it, thinking it was somewhat like "the fox borrowing the tiger's might," but she still agreed, not wanting to cause trouble for Lu Zhaoxi.
Episode 21 Recap
Lu Zhaoxi knew that Ye Shilan had agreed to speak on stage and did not object. Instead, he gave Ye Shilan a necklace. Ye Shilan hoped that the things Lu Zhaoxi bought would not be too expensive, just within her monthly salary range. She didn't want people to think she was taking advantage of Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi suddenly proposed marriage, but Ye Shilan refused.
Ye Shilan felt that they had been together for too short a time, but Lu Zhaoxi said that he had already decided on Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan promised to marry Lu Zhaoxi as long as he bought a house. Lu Zhaoxi was driving alone, thinking about what Kevin Lin had said.
Kevin Lin had investigated and found that someone behind the scenes was saying many things detrimental to Ye Shilan, believing she was playing the long game to catch a rich husband. Lu Zhaoxi felt uneasy about this, always feeling that someone was doing it deliberately, wanting to spread these rumors even further, seemingly planning something against him.
At the medical aid public welfare project, Ye Shilan, as someone who had worked in Taoyuan Village for six months, specifically shared her work experience. Some people asked about Ye Shilan's work situation at that time, but some were also curious about the story of Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi in Taoyuan Village before. Director Gao proposed to let Lu Zhaoxi speak on stage.
Lu Zhaoxi openly talked about how he met Ye Shilan and said that he fell in love with Ye Shilan at first sight and that she was quite difficult to pursue. He hoped everyone could give them some space. Ye Shilan smiled unconsciously while listening to Lu Zhaoxi defending her. Ye Shilan waited for Lu Zhaoxi to come over and couldn't help but kiss him. She knew Lu Zhaoxi said those things on purpose.
At the same time, she also said that she wanted to take time off to go home. Lu Zhaoxi immediately suggested going together, and Ye Shilan gladly agreed. The emotional life of Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi was quickly posted on the forum, instantly causing widespread discussion. The article mocked Ye Shilan as pretending to be an innocent girl to seduce Lu Zhaoxi and deliberately talked about the rights and wrongs between Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi.
Fabricated stories combined with real events caused more people to discuss and believe them. Although the pediatric doctors did not believe it, they were helpless against the overwhelming public opinion online. As soon as Lu Zhaoxi arrived at the hospital parking lot, he received a link from Kevin Lin. Lu Zhaoxi quickly went to find Ye Shilan, fearing she would be affected. However, Ye Shilan said she was fine and went to work as usual.
Lu Zhaoxi also asked Kevin Lin to contact the relevant websites to delete the post, but the post was also published elsewhere. Kevin Lin believed that Director Gao was an expert in this kind of thing and was likely targeting Lu Zhaoxi specifically, just putting Ye Shilan in the forefront because he knew Ye Shilan was Lu Zhaoxi's weakness.
Lu Zhaoxi also understood that the ultimate goal was just to suggest that he was not suitable to be the hospital director and that forcing him to leave would solve the problem. Lu Zhaoxi also told Ye Shilan his speculation, and Lu's father also planned to use this opportunity to rectify discipline. He originally intended to investigate Director Gao, but unexpectedly, Director Gao had used his and Ye Shilan's matter to create trouble.
Ye Shilan was happy hearing this; at least her efforts were meaningful. Kevin Lin came to find Yao Jiajia, but suddenly had an urgent matter and had to leave. Yao Jiajia saw Kevin Lin and specially brought him some pastries to eat on the way. Seeing Kevin Lin's anxious look, Yao Jiajia asked curiously and only then learned about Ye Shilan's matter. Kevin Lin then went to see Lu's father and reported the current situation.
Lu's father asked Kevin Lin to use this opportunity to first suspend Ye Shilan's shifts and also seize this chance to get a handle on Director Gao. When Lu Zhaoxi was taking Ye Shilan back, he received a call from Kevin Lin. President Lu had already suspended Ye Shilan's shifts.
Episode 22 Recap
When Ye Shilan returned home, she found Yao Jiajia was scolding those who attacked her online. Ye Shilan was touched and pulled Yao Jiajia to drink and talk. After Yao Jiajia's guidance, Ye Shilan also suddenly felt much better. Lu Zhaoxi also specifically found his father to question why he suspended Ye Shilan.
However, his father believed that the reason Ye Shilan became a target for criticism today was entirely because Lu Zhaoxi was too high-profile in wanting to show off how good a girlfriend he had. If he had been more low-key, perhaps the situation wouldn't be like this. The next day, the trending topics remained persistent, which also worried Lu Zhaoxi a bit.
Kevin Lin also reminded Lu Zhaoxi that some netizens might seek out Ye Shilan for consultation, deliberately trying to make things difficult for her. Ye Shilan had already started receiving many harassment calls, cursing her and saying she was not fit to be a pediatrician. Dr. Ceng Xinyu comforted Ye Shilan and also believed that some people just liked to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others. Kevin Lin came to see Director Gao again.
Director Gao also inquired about Lu Zhaoxi's situation and believed that Lu Zhaoxi being criticized wasn't a bad thing. He also thought that President Lu Zhengshan hated this kind of male-female relationship the most. Director Gao deliberately told Kevin Lin that there would definitely be personnel changes this time, but he would definitely find a way to keep Kevin Lin employed.
Through these probing attempts, Kevin Lin had already confirmed that Director Gao still had something he hadn't revealed, and quickly reported this to President Lu Zhengshan. Ye Shilan's mother also saw the article and called to ask Ye Shilan, afraid that she was being wronged and worried that Lu Zhaoxi didn't truly like her. Ye Shilan stated that she believed in Lu Zhaoxi's love for her and that she loved him just the same.
She also said she would bring Lu Zhaoxi back next week to explain everything clearly. These words were overheard by Lu Zhaoxi, who had just arrived. Ye Shilan honestly expressed the fear in her heart. She had once accidentally found her mother's suicide note, in which her mother said life was too tiring and she couldn't go on. Ye Shilan secretly put the note back.
From then on, she swore to alleviate all her mother's burdens, fearing losing her mother after losing her father. Later, her mother got married and had a younger brother. She only hoped to do her best to make her mother happy and free from burden. Lu Zhaoxi believed that the reason Ye Shilan's mother gave up on suicide was because Ye Shilan was her motivation to live, and Ye Shilan was never her mother's burden.
At this moment, President Lu Zhengshan called, claiming he had an upset stomach and couldn't go out, asking Lu Zhaoxi to go on a business trip in his place. Lu Zhaoxi took Ye Shilan to buy a new phone number, just so she wouldn't be harassed by some people. Ye Shilan also specifically took the afternoon off to accompany Lu Zhaoxi to buy daily necessities and send him to the airport. Ye Shilan helped Lu Zhaoxi pack his daily necessities.
When Lu Zhaoxi saw Ye Shilan pick up a bag, he anxiously tried to snatch it back, but Ye Shilan still opened it and saw that it contained condoms. Lu Zhaoxi explained that they were given as a free gift with a purchase, but couldn't produce proof. Fortunately, Ye Shilan didn't mind, thinking they could be used sooner or later, and put them in the drawer. After Lu Zhaoxi left, President Lu Zhengshan arranged to meet with Ye Shilan.
Only then did Ye Shilan realize that President Lu Zhengshan had faked having an upset stomach. President Lu Zhengshan believed that Lu Zhaoxi's journey had been too smooth and uneventful, which is why he arranged for him to be the director and asked Kevin Lin to assist, so he could know how Lu Zhaoxi handled things at any time. President Lu Zhengshan hoped that Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi could pretend to break up, which would separate Ye Shilan out.
He was worried that the matter of Ye Shilan's father's suicide would be overinterpreted. Ye Shilan agreed to this, and President Lu Zhengshan requested that Lu Zhaoxi be kept in the dark about this. When Ye Shilan went back, she told Yao Jiajia about this. She was actually worried that Lu Zhaoxi would really get angry. Yao Jiajia thought that if Lu Zhaoxi did get angry, he could be coaxed.
She told Ye Shilan to have confidence in herself and that she would give Ye Shilan the most professional guidance, ensuring a smooth path ahead. She also said this was just a minor fluctuation in their love. At this point, Ye Shilan could only proceed according to the plan. Lu Zhaoxi specifically video called Ye Shilan, asking where she wanted to go next for fun. Ye Shilan said she wanted to watch the flag raising ceremony. Lu Zhaoxi immediately agreed.
Ye Shilan also hoped that from now on Lu Zhaoxi would only like her alone. Lu Zhaoxi promised, but also found Ye Shilan a bit strange today. Ye Shilan proactively came to see Director Gao, proposing that she wanted to go to Taoyuan Village for medical assistance. She also told Director Gao that she had broken up with Lu Zhaoxi because the online events had affected them both, and she also felt there was a significant gap between them.
Director Gao promised to consider it. He then went to find Lu Zhaoxi but learned that Lu Zhaoxi was on a business trip. Director Gao, feeling restless, found Kevin Lin. Kevin Lin also said he didn't know about their breakup, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. Kevin Lin also suggested that Director Gao have an audit investigate the matter of Lu Zhaoxi donating the ultrasound machine to Taoyuan Village previously.
Afterwards, Kevin Lin came to find Ye Shilan again. Ye Shilan had been feeling guilty about deceiving Lu Zhaoxi and was curious why Kevin Lin didn't feel guilty. Kevin Lin frankly stated that perhaps he had deceived too many people, so he never knew what guilt was.
Episode 23 Recap
Ye Shilan was a little scared, reminding Kevin Lin not to deceive Yao Jiajia. Kevin Lin, however, said that being with Yao Jiajia was the most relaxed time for him and he would never deceive her. Furthermore, deceiving people was not what he truly desired. Afterward, Kevin Lin helped Ye Shilan pack her things and told her to go to Taoyuan Village. Ye Shilan went home to pack with Yao Jiajia.
Thinking of the person she loved in her heart, Ye Shilan felt very secure. Yao Jiajia believed that Ye Shilan always had something missing in her heart before, and Lu Zhaoxi had completed that missing piece for her. Ye Shilan went to Taoyuan Village without saying goodbye. Xiao Su learned from Dr. Ceng that Ye Shilan had come to Taoyuan Village without telling anyone.
Only then did Ye Shilan realize that Xiao Su was actually having an ambiguous relationship with Dr. Ceng. To gain everyone's trust, she simply told Xiao Su directly that she had broken up with Lu Zhaoxi and came here to heal from her heartbreak. Ye Shilan even specifically printed out the photos of herself and Lu Zhaoxi from her phone and made them into picture frames to hang on the wall. In the evening, Lu Zhaoxi video called again.
Ye Shilan didn't dare to mention that she had come to Taoyuan Village and could only hope that Kevin Lin would explain clearly to Lu Zhaoxi. After Lu Zhaoxi returned, he learned about his father's arrangements. He called Ye Shilan to blame her for hiding it from him, saying she was clearly taking advantage of his kindness. Ye Shilan could only act spoiled and coax Lu Zhaoxi.
Lu Zhaoxi had actually already started smiling gleefully, but still pretended to be angry and told Ye Shilan to reflect properly. Lu Zhengshan had a talk with Lu Zhaoxi, telling him all his plans. Kevin Lin's suggestion also led Director Gao to report Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi was subsequently suspended, and then Director Xu Liyang would temporarily take over the hospital affairs. His reputation would be restored once everything settled down. Lu Zhaoxi could only follow his father's arrangements.
Lu Zhengshan blamed Lu Zhaoxi for being too careless and also told Lu Zhaoxi that the idea of breaking them up this time was suggested by Lu's mother, who believed that Lu Zhaoxi had deep feelings for Ye Shilan and that a breakup was fine. Lu Zhaoxi deliberately called Ye Shilan, pretending to be very sad. He claimed he had been suspended and that Ye Shilan shouldn't have listened to his father and broken up with him.
What would happen if they really broke up? Ye Shilan immediately said that she had never thought of truly separating from Lu Zhaoxi and if they did separate because of this, she would chase Lu Zhaoxi back. Lu Zhaoxi was overjoyed internally, but outwardly stubbornly suggested they give it a try. Ye Shilan also told Yao Jiajia about her agreement with Lu Zhaoxi. Yao Jiajia could only offer Ye Shilan advice.
So, Ye Shilan would take photos casually and send them to Lu Zhaoxi every day while running, working, and eating. She even ordered flowers to be sent to Lu Zhaoxi. Ye Shilan called Lu Zhaoxi, asking if he could be her boyfriend again. Lu Zhaoxi, however, said he wasn't that easy to coax and thought Ye Shilan gave up too easily. Ye Shilan could only say she would continue to work hard and strive.
Xiao Su also successfully completed the mission and returned. Lu Zhaoxi asked the Director for leave, wanting to go back and see Ye Shilan, and believed it was his fault this time, and that apologizing and visiting was what he should do. Lu Zhaoxi also handed over his work to Director Xu Liyang. In fact, Director Xu Liyang was someone who sincerely hoped the hospital would get better and better.
Lu Zhaoxi packed his things and left, and called Ye Shilan to remind her that she was on the trending search list again. A video of Ye Shilan saving someone at a bus stop was now being circulated online, and this video was also forwarded. Ye Shilan was now receiving overwhelming praise. Yao Jiajia believed that Lu Zhaoxi was a perfect boyfriend, having done so much for Ye Shilan.
Before Ye Shilan could go back to find Lu Zhaoxi, Lu Zhaoxi came to Taoyuan Village, took a photo, and sent it to Ye Shilan. Ye Shilan quickly spruced herself up, asked the Director for leave, and rushed off on her bicycle to find Lu Zhaoxi.
Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
Ye Shilan rode her bicycle to the riverbank at the village entrance and found Lu Zhaoxi fishing. She couldn't help but rush forward to hug Lu Zhaoxi, but he pushed her away with a look of "disgust". At the same time, he reminded Ye Shilan that hugging and kissing him wouldn't be that easy, as he hadn't officially forgiven her yet.
Ye Shilan shamelessly said that she originally intended to go see Lu Zhaoxi, but didn't expect him to come first. She then jumped onto Lu Zhaoxi's body. Under Ye Shilan's "persistent and pushy" demands, Lu Zhaoxi reluctantly kissed Ye Shilan. After their happy embrace and kiss, Ye Shilan nestled in Lu Zhaoxi's arms, blaming him for deliberately not letting her kiss him just now, saying it was to get back at her.
She also planned to take the day off to spend the entire day with Lu Zhaoxi and thanked him for everything he had done for her. Lu Zhaoxi told Ye Shilan about the things he had investigated. Earlier, Director Gao had someone investigate Ye Shilan's father's suicide. It was discovered in the hospital records that Ye Shilan's father actually had a very serious illness.
He likely committed suicide because he didn't want to burden his wife and daughter, not because of work. Ye Shilan's heart ached and she shed tears, but she also forgave her father for leaving them, understanding that this was his profound love. Seeing Ye Shilan sound asleep, Lu Zhaoxi draped his clothes over her and held her hand in his, accompanying her gently.
Meanwhile, Kevin Lin also helped Yao Jiajia, who was planning to start a business and open a shop, find a suitable location. However, the price of this coffee shop was a bit high, exceeding Yao Jiajia's budget. Yao Jiajia and Ye Shilan planned to invest together in opening the shop. Ye Shilan would not be responsible for managing the shop, only for contributing funds.
Kevin Lin felt that this was the best plan, as it would at least allow for quick decision-making. Yao Jiajia looked at the business plan Kevin Lin had prepared for her and blurted out that she liked him. Kevin Lin also revealed a happy smile. After Ye Shilan woke up, she took Lu Zhaoxi back to the clinic to make him a delicious dinner.
Before eating, she suggested Lu Zhaoxi get some good rest, as he must have been tired from driving here early in the morning. Lu Zhaoxi nodded in agreement, but Ye Shilan was reluctant to leave. She insisted on bothering him for another kiss. Lu Zhaoxi pretended to be reserved and closed his eyes. Ye Shilan happily kissed Lu Zhaoxi. After Lu Zhaoxi woke up, Ye Shilan had already finished making the chicken.
The deputy director teased Ye Shilan, asking if she had gotten back the money for the three-hundred-yuan piece of chicken from earlier. Just as Lu Zhaoxi said he had given it all to Ye Shilan, Ye Shilan complained that she had spent it all when she was his assistant. After dinner, Ye Shilan taught Lu Zhaoxi how to ride a bicycle.
Lu Zhaoxi had never learned to ride a bicycle since he was little, so it was quite difficult for him to learn. Just as he thought he had learned it, he fell headfirst into the nearby vegetable patch. An auntie scolded Lu Zhaoxi angrily for crushing her vegetables, but when she saw it was Ye Shilan, she immediately said she wouldn't charge a penny and thanked Ye Shilan kindly for saving her grandson's life.
Lu Zhaoxi helped Ye Shilan clean the mud off her shoes and suddenly felt that being Ye Shilan's boyfriend was something to be proud of. Ye Shilan also said that she would visit her father's grave the next time she went home and hoped to introduce Lu Zhaoxi to her father.
Furthermore, since being with Lu Zhaoxi, she felt very confident, very much enjoyed and loved her current work and life, and was no longer so eager to buy a house. All of this was brought to her by Lu Zhaoxi. Kevin Lin also helped Yao Jiajia find a publisher who wanted to buy the copyright to her novel. Yao Jiajia was very excited. The two agreed to go see a movie.
After Yao Jiajia's confession, Kevin Lin also said that he had actually always wanted to confess but didn't know how to do it in a way that would be a surprise, because Yao Jiajia had written too many confession scenes. Yao Jiajia also received a message from Ye Shilan, knowing that Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi had met in Taoyuan Village.
She also planned to finish the work at hand and then write the story of Ye Shilan and Lu Zhaoxi. Lu Zhaoxi really wanted to see the sea of flowers from Ye Shilan's previous photos. Ye Shilan rode her bicycle, carrying Lu Zhaoxi, and sped towards the sea of flowers all the way. Along the way, the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere. The two quickly arrived at the sea of flowers.
Here, Lu Zhaoxi formally proposed to Ye Shilan, hoping to become her fiancé. Ye Shilan happily accepted. The two hugged and kissed in this sea of flowers. While Lu Zhaoxi's parents were buying things at the supermarket, his mother received a message from her son that Lu Zhaoxi had proposed to Ye Shilan. His mother was very excited, and the couple immediately said they would have a drink to celebrate that evening.
Ye Shilan also called her mother to report about what happened with Lu Zhaoxi today. Her mother was also happy for Ye Shilan. That evening, just as Ye Shilan was about to go back and stay with the deputy director, she was pulled by Lu Zhaoxi and they entered the bridal chamber early. The next morning, Lu Zhaoxi got up and helped Ye Shilan make coffee.
As Ye Shilan was washing up, she looked back at Lu Zhaoxi and remembered what her father had said: if you want someone to pull you up, you have to learn to reach out your hand. The two ran together in the rural fields, happiness filling their hearts.
