If The Voice Has Memory Episode 20 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
The morning after successfully getting together with Zhou Na, Zhao Junran excitedly reported the news to his colleagues at Fengling Studio, playfully suggesting they all start calling him "Brother-in-law." Meanwhile, Yu Luxi was visibly distracted, frequently checking her watch and gazing out the window, anxious for Lin Nan's arrival. When Lin Nan finally appeared, Yu Luxi, still conflicted from their conversation the previous night, asked if he had gone to meet the female fan.
Lin Nan revealed he hadn't, explaining his delay was merely due to traffic. Yu Luxi felt a surge of secret relief, despite previously telling him she would support him if he decided to go. When Lin Nan suggested he contact the fan to meet her now, Yu Luxi, despite her earlier words, quickly made an excuse that she, as the original voice match, should stay to supervise the editing of Mai Da's montage.
Their conversation was cut short by a frantic colleague who rushed in with his phone, announcing that Fengling Studio was in trouble. The internet was abuzz with a fan claiming to be connected to Mai Da, accusing Lin Nan (Mai Da) of having retired to evade responsibility after she was injured in an accident. The accuser further revealed that Mai Da was indeed Lin Nan from Fengling Studio.
This explosive revelation caused a stir, with links related to Mai Da instantly garnering over a million clicks. The news shocked Liang Yichuan, who knew Lin Nan's integrity and recognized the accusations as a clear smear campaign. His subordinate, Guan Cheng, however, gloated over the situation, suggesting Fengling Studio was doomed. He revealed his minimal involvement in slightly amplifying the fan's old post from six years ago. Liang Yichuan was furious, emphasizing that his company, Youlong, always conducted business honorably.
Guan Cheng retorted that in business, there are only enemies, and Liang Yichuan was too soft-hearted. The scandal's immediate impact was severe. Zhou Na informed Lin Nan that the organizing committee had revoked Fengling Studio's qualification for the competition, citing the sensitive nature of Mai Da's black material and Lin Nan's controversial identity. The platform they worked with was also pressuring them, with their manager making numerous angry calls.
Lin Nan attempted to contact Lily, the accuser, but her phone was off, cutting off their only direct lead. With public opinion turning hostile, some colleagues witnessed hateful comments and calls for boycotts online. Separately, Liang Yiyi went to the library for her computer lessons with Xiao Tian. Discovering him tutoring another female student, Liang Yiyi's jealousy flared. She boldly positioned herself between Xiao Tian and the student, demanding that he tutor only her from now on.
Xiao Tian, unable to argue, reluctantly agreed. Shortly after, Liang Yiyi received a call informing her of Mai Da's troubles and immediately left. Zhou Na later updated Lin Nan, noting a positive shift as many online influencers were now posting clarifications in his defense. However, the situation quickly worsened when new rumors implicated Yu Luxi, alleging an improper relationship between her and Lin Nan. Initially composed, Lin Nan became enraged when Yu Luxi was targeted.
He immediately declared his intention to hold a press conference the following day to clarify everything himself. Zhou Na tried to dissuade him, urging him to remain calm, but Lin Nan was resolute, determined to protect Yu Luxi at all costs. After Lin Nan left, Zhou Na quickly called Yu Luxi, explaining the dire situation and Lin Nan's decision to shoulder all the blame himself.
Meanwhile, Liang Yiyi approached her brother, Liang Yichuan, with a proposition: he should once again pretend to be Mai Da to clear Lin Nan's name, which would also make him a hero in Yu Luxi's eyes. Liang Yichuan dismissed the idea, stating he had considered it before, but such a deception would only exacerbate the problem if exposed, further harming Lin Nan's reputation. Yu Luxi, having learned of Lin Nan's plan, went to persuade him against holding the press conference.
Lin Nan, however, maintained his resolve, admitting the entire ordeal stemmed from his past inability to confront the situation and his desire to shield Yu Luxi from harm. He took her to his late grandfather's house, a place filled with cherished black vinyl records. He showed her his Golden Olive Award, explaining that six years ago, he was honored with a special award for voice actors, an unprecedented event.
He recounted how he had longed to accept it in front of his fans but a cruel twist of fate prevented him, leading him to believe it was better for them to never have seen him than to be disappointed. Yu Luxi understood his actions were born from his care for his fans. Lin Nan then showed her a collection of gifts and letters from fans.
Looking through them, Yu Luxi had an epiphany: they could find Lily by searching through these old letters. The entire Fengling team sprang into action, sifting through hundreds of fan letters. They knew the accuser's name contained the character "Li," that she lived in the city, and was likely a high school student six years ago. Believing this was enough to narrow down the search, they categorized dozens of potential letters by address and fanned out across the city.
Late into the night, after several attempts, Yu Luxi finally located Lily. Initially resistant, Lily confessed her regret, describing how the incident had spiraled out of control and subjected her to intense cyberbullying, confining her to her home for three days. Yu Luxi reassured Lily that she understood her frustrations and believed her. She encouraged Lily to step forward, explaining that by remaining silent, both she and Lin Nan would continue to suffer.
Yu Luxi revealed that Lin Nan was already preparing to speak at a press conference to protect her. To further demonstrate Lin Nan's sincerity and give Lily courage, Yu Luxi presented her with Lin Nan's cherished Golden Olive Award. Deeply moved, Lily agreed to stand with Lin Nan at the press conference the next day to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, Lin Nan visited the empty press conference hall.
Guan Cheng appeared, taunting him that the stage he had prepared would become an "execution ground" and questioning if Lin Nan had truly thought through his decision. Lin Nan calmly affirmed that he had.
