Remember My Boy Episode 6 Recap
> Remember My Boy Recap
Yu Hui Tong was seen by Teacher Zhou looking up at the rooftop. When questioned, she revealed that Zhou Jingmang had gone up there and she heard a boy's voice. Teacher Zhou quickly went to the roof and caught Zhou Jingmang and Zhang Yang "in the act." Assuming they were romantically involved, he became furious, declaring their behavior unacceptable, especially after the previous incident at the broadcasting station.
He ignored Zhou Jingmang's attempts to explain, insisting on contacting their parents for a serious discussion. Zhou Jingmang felt utterly helpless in the situation. While Zhou Jingmang was at school, her parents accessed her room, unlocking her drawer and discovering a lip gloss. Zhou Jingmang’s mother later called Yu Hui Tong, who confirmed she had given the lip gloss to Zhou Jingmang. Called to the school, Zhou Jingmang's mother apologized to Teacher Zhou.
Zhou Jingmang was called out of class in front of her peers, fueling widespread gossip. Upon returning home, Zhou Jingmang's mother expressed remorse for doubting her and affirmed her trust. However, she concluded that living in the dorms was negatively affecting Zhou Jingmang's studies and mandated that she become a day student for the rest of the semester, effective the following week. Zhang Yang confronted Yu Hui Tong, suspecting her involvement in the incident.
He handed her a stack of review books, advising her to refer to them for academic questions instead of Zhou Jingmang. Yu Hui Tong insisted they were friends, but Zhang Yang saw through her, stating that Zhou Jingmang genuinely considered her a friend and warning Yu Hui Tong against hurting her.
Yu Hui Tong retorted that Zhou Jingmang simply desired a peaceful high school experience and would, after her parents' intervention, lose the courage to remain friends with Zhang Yang, predicting her withdrawal. The Christmas season arrived, and Zhou Jingmang's mother allowed her to stay in the dormitories for one night to complete a blackboard newspaper, much to Qin Zhen's excitement. While out buying milk tea for her friends, Zhou Jingmang unexpectedly encountered Zhang Yang.
Their interactions had become noticeably sparse since her parents were summoned to school, and Zhou Jingmang felt hesitant to face him. Zhang Yang confronted her, asking why she had been avoiding him, noting her lowered gaze and silence whenever he was near. He reminded her of how he helped resolve the rumors involving Teacher Xiao Ma and questioned if this was her way of showing gratitude.
Zhou Jingmang expressed her frustration, explaining that his actions constantly led to trouble with classmates, teachers, and parents, leaving her no option but to retreat. Zhang Yang then directly asked if she disliked being the subject of gossip when associated with him. Zhou Jingmang admitted her desire for a peaceful and stable high school life, aspiring to study hard, get into a good university, and make her parents and teachers proud.
She pleaded with Zhang Yang to stop disrupting her life with "bombs," as she couldn't bear the consequences. Zhang Yang, visibly disheartened, acknowledged her words. Although Zhou Jingmang spoke these words, she secretly admired Zhang Yang and realized his growing importance in her heart.
However, her ingrained tendency to avoid confrontation prevented her from defying her parents and teachers for him, leaving her with a profound sense of sadness and the feeling that her words were contrary to her true feelings. That evening, a despondent Zhou Jingmang bought a large quantity of spicy sticks. As she consumed them, she cried profusely, distressing Shen Yinghui and Qin Zhen.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang, deeply affected by Zhou Jingmang's statements, reflected on Yu Hui Tong's earlier prediction that Zhou Jingmang, after the parental involvement, would lack the courage to even remain friends with him. He found the situation deeply ironic, confirming Yu Hui Tong's insight. The next morning, Qin Zhen and her friends were playfully pushing each other with their newly bought milk tea when Qin Zhen accidentally spilled it on Ling Chen.
Observing his reaction, Qin Zhen noticed his jacket appeared to be a women's style. Aware of Ling Chen's difficult family circumstances, she decided to buy him a new jacket as compensation. Later, Yu Hui Tong came to Zhou Jingmang's class, intending to give street dance finals competition tickets to Zhang Yang through Zhou Jingmang, knowing his interest in dance.
Zhang Yang, suspicious of Yu Hui Tong's motives, pulled her aside for a private conversation, despite Zhou Jingmang's attempts to defend Yu Hui Tong as a friend. Zhou Jingmang, feeling uneasy, secretly followed and overheard Yu Hui Tong explaining that she wanted to share the event with Zhang Yang because they had common interests, while criticizing Zhou Jingmang for her hesitation in expressing her feelings. During a P. E.
class, Zhang Yang, still upset after hearing Zhou Jingmang declare they were no longer friends, angrily crumpled the two street dance tickets from Yu Hui Tong and discarded them near a trash can. Zhou Jingmang witnessed this act. After class, when the area was clear, she quietly retrieved the tickets. When her friends asked why Yu Hui Tong had been looking for both her and Zhang Yang, she simply replied it was nothing.
Instead of keeping them, she later threw them into a different trash can. Back home, Zhou Jingmang drank the bitter medicine her mother had prepared, intending to study vocabulary. She then received a phone call from Zhang Yang, who instructed her to go to the alley entrance near her house. Lying to her mother that she was retrieving forgotten homework from a friend, Zhou Jingmang hurried to the alley.
Following a series of strategically placed arrows, she found a beautifully wrapped gift box. Inside, she discovered a warm scarf, a delicate crystal ball, and a handwritten note from Zhang Yang. The note served as an apology for the trouble he caused her with the broadcasting station prank. Reading his words, the gloom that had overshadowed Zhou Jingmang for days lifted, and she smiled joyfully, clutching the gifts. However, in her excitement, she accidentally stumbled.
In 2015, years later, Zhou Jingmang found herself working late, preparing a meeting report. Realizing she lacked information about the collaborating Zhengge Law Firm, she called her colleague, Sister Xiao Ling, to obtain their phone number. Despite getting the number, she couldn't reach anyone at the firm. Deciding to visit in person, she traveled to the address provided on the business card. It was already late when she arrived at the firm.
Peering through the glass window, she saw a man whose profile strongly resembled Zhang Yang. She froze, stunned. After years of searching for him, she instinctively turned away the moment he began to turn his head. Zhang Yang, however, caught a glimpse of her. He tapped on the window to get her attention, and when she finally turned back, he paused, a look of disbelief on his face, before tentatively calling out, "Zhou Jing Mang?"
