> I Am The Years You Are The Stars Recap
Jin Xiaoyu directly confessed her feelings to Jiang Baiju, who was initially taken aback. He questioned her, asking if she truly liked him. Jin Xiaoyu hesitated, and Jiang Baiju’s eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment. He then adopted a more senior tone, explaining that while young people might approach relationships casually, for him, at his age, love was a rare and precious fortune, not to be forced or experimented with.
Jin Xiaoyu honestly told him that though she might not be entirely certain of her feelings, she knew she needed him and had a strong liking for him. Jiang Baiju acknowledged that she was likely the only woman he could ever connect with, leaving him without other options or comparisons. Delighted by his admission that she was his "only one," Jin Xiaoyu impulsively pulled his face towards her and kissed him.
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Baiju reciprocated, deepening the kiss, and the sweetness of their shared dessert lingered. The next morning, Dao Ruifeng's cooking skills left Jiang Baiju visibly displeased. Fortunately, Jin Xiaoyu arrived, bringing him a carefully prepared, nutritious breakfast. Jiang Baiju still felt a touch of awkwardness after the previous night's events, but his heart was undeniably joyful.
Later, Jin Xiaoyu playfully joked that Jiang Baiju was like a persistent "thief" for her attention, then asked him if he would consider her, a "cute fair maiden," to which he simply found her amusing. Afterward, Jiang Baiju, talking face-to-face with Qian Cheng, asked him to arrange a meeting with Tan Yueran and have Qian Tu, Qian Cheng’s elder brother and the person who had once kicked his door, follow up on some clues with her.
Qian Cheng, aware of Jin Xiaoyu's terminal illness, teasingly asked if Jiang Baiju would support Jin Xiaoyu's master if the cure wasn't found, noting Jiang Baiju’s apparent change of heart regarding Jin Xiaoyu. Qian Cheng also informed Jiang Baiju that Jin Xiaoyu wouldn't be returning home that evening, reminding him that he was on duty, implying that Jiang Baiju still depended on her presence. Meanwhile, a peculiar situation unfolded at the funeral home.
A new employee, Cui, was on patrol in the cemetery with Uncle You. Cui, still new to the job, was terrified and clung to Uncle You, who jokingly told him to learn from the fearless "Little King of Hell," Jin Xiaoyu. Cui's fear intensified when he felt a sudden chill. Uncle You left him to patrol ahead, and Cui spotted a shadowy figure with a drooping head slowly drifting past. Petrified, Cui fainted.
News of the incident spread, with colleagues speculating it was a ghost, made worse by grainy security footage showing only a "white figure." Zhang Quanzhan and Quande, two senior colleagues, went to investigate that night. Quanzhan tried to appear brave, referring to them as the "Double-Quan team," but they too encountered the white figure. One fainted, and the other broke his leg while fleeing, confirming the eerie presence. Jin Xiaoyu visited her injured colleagues at the hospital.
An older woman advised her to stay away from "supernatural things." However, a resolute materialist, Jin Xiaoyu vowed to uncover the truth behind the "ghost." That night, she went to the cemetery, unexpectedly encountering Lin Nuoyan. He had brought snacks, claiming Cheng Weilan told him about the ghost hunt and he came to watch the "live show" and "mostly to see" Jin Xiaoyu.
Jin Xiaoyu, undeterred by the creepy setting, scoffed at the idea of ghosts, recounting a past case where she exposed a family's abuse by subtly altering a deceased elderly woman's appearance to reveal a "hatred livor mortis," emphasizing that such "hauntings" were always man-made. Suddenly, a strange sound of crying and rustling grass broke the silence. Jin Xiaoyu, fearless, dashed off in pursuit, leaving Lin Nuoyan momentarily bewildered before he followed.
Just then, Uncle You appeared and together, they managed to apprehend the "ghost," who turned out to be an elderly woman. The old woman explained she had snuck in through an unlocked back gate of the cemetery around 9 PM to visit her deceased husband. Lin Nuoyan, noticing the intravenous drip marks on her hand and slight hair loss, deduced she was a chemotherapy patient who had secretly left the hospital.
Lin Nuoyan and Jin Xiaoyu escorted the elderly woman, Mrs. Xu, back to the hospital, where the staff were in a frantic search for their VIP patient. As Mrs. Xu was being taken away, she looked back at Jin Xiaoyu and mused, "If a person cannot even decide whether they die or live, isn't life very meaningless?" Later, Mrs. Xu's daughter arrived, carrying expensive health products and daily necessities.
She scolded the nurses, blaming them for not taking adequate care of her mother, completely oblivious to her own failings. The next day, Lin Nuoyan found Jin Xiaoyu at the funeral home, where Chief Ge was tending to flowers. Lin Nuoyan offered to help, and Jin Xiaoyu playfully took over the watering can, teasing him that if he was so attentive, her master might try to "catch him as a son-in-law."
Lin Nuoyan, with a smile, joked about bringing his ID and household register the next day. Jin Xiaoyu revealed that she, not her master, was the one who planted the flowers, calling herself a "treasure girl" but jokingly adding that such perfect people "can't live long." Lin Nuoyan became serious, acknowledging that Mrs. Xu's words resonated with Jin Xiaoyu.
He shared his own experience of losing a respected mentor, which strengthened his belief that medicine, as a powerful force, could change the world. He earnestly encouraged Jin Xiaoyu not to give up, promising to find a cure for her. Touched by his sincerity, Jin Xiaoyu, in her unique way, promised him a "20% discount on the condolence money" if she ever gave up.
Later, Dao Ruifeng showed Jiang Baiju photos of Jin Xiaoyu and Lin Nuoyan together at the cemetery. He accused Jin Xiaoyu of having Lin Nuoyan as a "backup lover," trying to stir up jealousy. Jiang Baiju, clearly displeased, told Dao Ruifeng to stop talking, but Dao Ruifeng continued to joke about "sharing girlfriends."
