If The Voice Has Memory Episode 26 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
Lin Nan led Yu Luxi, whose eyes were covered, step by step across the lawn. When she opened her eyes, she was deeply touched by the scene he had meticulously prepared. Red candles glowed, small star lights twinkled, and the air was filled with the fragrance of numerous flowers and gifts. Lin Nan had created an animated short film recounting their journey from their first encounter to their current understanding, complete with his own voice-over.
In the animation, Lin Nan narrated the story of a girl named Luxi, who loved dubbing and persevered despite many failures. One day, she met her idol, Mai Da, and expressed her unwavering belief in him despite rumors, then asked to be his apprentice. Though Mai Da initially refused, Luxi’s persistence, declaring she would bother him daily, eventually led him to accept her as his first apprentice.
Yu Luxi playfully interrupted the narration, protesting that she was not an annoyance, to which Lin Nan amended it to “clingy.” Lin Nan continued, describing how under Mai Da’s guidance, Luxi transformed into the renowned "Teacher Luxi." He recounted how she always supported and comforted Mai Da through hardships, telling him, "You accompany me with happiness, I also share the pain with you."
He emphasized that Yu Luxi was like a "little sun" in Mai Da's life, inspiring him to become his best self. The animation then revealed Mai Da’s true identity: Lin Nan. Lin Nan then presented Yu Luxi with a voiceprint ring, explaining that it contained all his unspoken words and would be a beautiful memory of their future if voices held memories. When Yu Luxi asked what he wanted to say, Lin Nan confessed, "I like you.
No matter what happens in the future, I'll be there for you." Yu Luxi responded in kind, "Me too," and they shared a tender kiss in the candlelight. That night, Lin Nan called Yu Luxi through a voice app, seeking comfort. He confided that he had given up his career and was starting over, feeling confused and uncertain about his decision.
Yu Luxi, unaware it was Lin Nan, listened intently and encouraged him, "I hope you can be brave to pursue what you love. Because I believe you, you will get everything you want." She urged him to "remember to be brave" and assured him, "I will always support you." Lin Nan expressed his gratitude, stating he now knew what to do.
Later, Lin Nan, having sold his house to fund his new venture, was informed by his realtor that no suitable rental properties had been found. He then arrived at Zhao Junran's house with his luggage, interrupting Zhao Junran’s playful attempt to teach Zhou Na how to mop the floor. Zhou Na, dressed in a cute apron and gloves, expressed her annoyance at Zhao Junran’s meticulous instructions. Zhao Junran, seeing Lin Nan, jokingly asked if Yu Luxi had dumped him.
Lin Nan explained he had sold his house to start a new business and intended to move in with Zhao Junran. Zhao Junran subtly tried to deter him, citing a lack of privacy due to Zhou Na and the house’s poor sound insulation, even offering earplugs. He then suggested Lin Nan stay with their parents, but Lin Nan refused, not wanting them to worry about him selling his house.
Zhao Junran, running out of excuses, advised Lin Nan to stay with Yu Luxi, but Lin Nan sheepishly said he was too embarrassed since they had just reconciled. He then put on the earplugs, pretending not to hear Zhao Junran’s further hints. Meanwhile, a video of Yu Luxi's past part-time dubbing work at a coffee shop, posted online by Liang Yichuan, made her an overnight sensation.
The coffee shop was soon swarmed with fans, some looking for Yu Luxi, others for Lin Nan, knowing he worked there. Xiaotian, a colleague, chastised Yu Luxi for appearing at the cafe, urging her to maintain a professional distance now that she was an online celebrity. Yu Luxi then called Lin Nan, frantically telling him not to come to the cafe and to "get rid of" himself (referring to the chaotic situation due to fans).
That evening, Zhao Junran successfully evicted Lin Nan, having packed his belongings and literally closed the door on him. With nowhere else to go, Lin Nan brought his luggage to Yu Luxi's house. Yu Luxi, whose father was frequently away leading tour groups, welcomed him. She was surprised that Lin Nan had sold his house without telling her and proceeded to lay down "three rules."
Yu Luxi declared that their positions had shifted: she was now the "Teacher Luxi" in the industry, while he was "nothing" with his new company yet to be established. Lin Nan tried to interject, mentioning his upcoming project, "Recalling Chang'an," but Yu Luxi cut him off, stating that he would be her "little assistant" for all future business engagements. Lin Nan reluctantly agreed, calling her "Teacher Luxi" obediently.
Yu Luxi then surprised him by inviting him to be a partner in his new company. Lin Nan was momentarily taken aback, recalling her previous reluctance, but Yu Luxi, now a "Teacher Luxi," accepted his serious offer. They sealed the deal. Yu Luxi reiterated their new dynamic, with her as the partner and him as "Assistant Lin."
Lin Nan jokingly lamented feeling like a "master and apprentice become master and servant," to which Yu Luxi retorted that he was, in fact, living under her roof. She then informed him of an important activity the next day, which he, as her assistant, would attend. Yu Luxi presented Lin Nan with a "couple suit" – a set of black pajamas – declaring it their new "passionately fiery" theme.
After they changed, Yu Luxi expressed her excitement about their "master and apprentice suit" upgrading to "couple suit" pajamas. She then suggested they do something meaningful and pulled out a Polaroid camera, announcing their plan to take a photo together every day, aspiring to fill their photo wall with their pictures. She explained that she had given away her entire collection of Mai Da merchandise to female fans, and now wanted photos with Lin Nan to fill the space.
They took several comical photos, posing awkwardly and giggling. Later, as Yu Luxi complained about the cold water after her shower (Lin Nan having used up the hot water), Lin Nan offered to warm her bed. Yu Luxi seemed to expect him to physically warm the bed, but Lin Nan instead produced a hot water bottle, teasing her for her blush. He told her not to stay up too late, as they would be decorating the studio the next day.
The following day, Lin Nan showed Yu Luxi the renderings for his new animated series, "Recalling Chang'an." Yu Luxi found them "just so-so," disagreeing with Lin Nan’s artistic choices for a sad scene. She felt the bright setting didn't match the characters' emotions, even when Lin Nan tried to argue it provided contrast. Yu Luxi demonstrated a sad line, saying, "Having married into this place, I am already an outsider.
To have come this far, all my sacrifices were for the greater good. If even you, my husband, do not care for me, what am I to do in the future?" Lin Nan tried to respond in character, promising to be good to her, but Yu Luxi criticized his hand gestures and exaggerated acting.
Yu Luxi then suggested they role-play, with her as the princess and him as the king, where he would embrace her as she gazed into the distance. As they leaned in for what seemed to be a kiss, Yu Luxi's father unexpectedly walked through the door, startling both of them. Yu Luxi immediately straightened up, calling out "Dad!" as her hair clip fell off in her panic.
