I Know l Love You Episode 12 Recap
> I Know l Love You Recap
Feeling dejected by Xu Nuo's repeated attempts to break up with him, Peng Yuan met with his old bandmates for drinks, reminiscing about their past. His friends noted his success as a fund boss but Peng Yuan countered that he wasn't as happy as them. Despite their encouragement to play guitar, Peng Yuan claimed he had quit, though he later picked up a guitar, proving he hadn't forgotten how to play.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jin arrived at the flower shop to see Xu Nuo. He saw his sister, Zhao Qin, riding an electric bicycle and immediately scolded her, mistaking it for a motorcycle. Xu Nuo intervened, defending Zhao Qin and explaining that riding the electric bicycle made her happy. Zhao Jin expressed deep concern for Zhao Qin's safety, worrying about her getting cold, a fever, or injured.
Xu Nuo countered that accidents could happen regardless and emphasized that Zhao Qin, having been sheltered due to her illness, needed to experience life and satisfy her curiosity. Following Xu Nuo's advice, Zhao Jin apologized to his sister. He agreed to let her continue, setting the condition that Zhao Qin must stop riding if any accident or illness occurred. Zhao Qin happily accepted and hugged Xu Nuo before going to clean up.
Shortly after, Peng Yuan called Xu Nuo, saying he would be at her shop soon for dinner. Xu Nuo declined his invitation, which Zhao Jin overheard. Zhao Jin then expressed his intention to leave. Xu Nuo revealed that Peng Yuan was on his way and asked Zhao Jin and Zhao Qin to leave through the side door to avoid him.
Zhao Jin became angry, refusing to sneak out and stating he wouldn't let his sister see him in such a "miserable and shameful" state. Xu Nuo explained she simply didn't want Peng Yuan to know Zhao Jin was the reason for their breakup, but Zhao Jin questioned why he couldn't be. Xu Nuo apologized, not wanting to burden him, but Zhao Jin assured her she was no burden and he was willing to share her load.
Zhao Jin then chose to leave with Zhao Qin through the main entrance. As they exited, Peng Yuan arrived and confronted Zhao Jin, asking why he was there and who Zhao Qin was. Zhao Jin simply said he was picking up his sister. Peng Yuan, realizing Zhao Qin worked at Xu Nuo's shop, challenged Zhao Jin. Feeling unwell and wanting to avoid further confrontation, Zhao Jin hurried away with Zhao Qin.
Xu Nuo, witnessing the scene, ran out, ignoring Peng Yuan's calls. She tearfully reaffirmed her breakup with Peng Yuan, telling him she couldn't be with him anymore and asked him to let her go, before running after Zhao Jin. Peng Yuan shouted that she would regret it. Later, Xu Yang arrived at the flower shop and greeted a sullen Peng Yuan, who ignored him. Xu Yang then spoke with Cong Shan, who dismissed him and called all men awful.
They argued, with Cong Shan accusing Xu Yang of clumsiness and Xu Yang asking if she was menopausal. Cong Shan abruptly broke up with him, telling him to lock the shop when he left. Cong Shan then found Xu Nuo crying on the street and offered comfort, putting a coat around her. To console Xu Nuo, Cong Shan fabricated a story about breaking up with Xu Yang, framing it as a test for him.
She advised Xu Nuo to focus on her own problems. That night, Zhao Qin asked Zhao Jin if he lacked confidence, sensing his discomfort earlier. Zhao Jin admitted he didn't want Zhao Qin to be involved or live cautiously because of him, hinting he might sacrifice his relationship with Xu Nuo. Zhao Qin strongly rebuked him, saying she hated being used as an excuse for his sacrifices.
She called him childish for not understanding Xu Nuo's difficulties and urged him to trust both her and Xu Nuo, insisting they could handle their own affairs without him taking all the blame. She told him to be happy and go to sleep. Meanwhile, Xu Yang was drinking with friends, complaining about his breakup, which he claimed was his initiative. His friends speculated about Zhao Jin and Peng Yuan's rivalry, with Xu Yang blaming Zhao Jin for his breakup.
Xu Nuo, speaking with Cong Shan, worried that Zhao Jin was disappointed in her. Cong Shan advised her to take the initiative and apologize to Zhao Jin, reminding her that her breakup with Peng Yuan wasn't truly over until they saw "each other's ugliest side." When Zhao Jin called, Cong Shan encouraged Xu Nuo to answer. Zhao Jin asked where she was, and Xu Nuo, after a moment of hesitation, lied, saying she was "outside alone."
Zhao Jin found Xu Nuo and asked why she was alone. Xu Nuo explained she had tried to chase him earlier. Zhao Jin apologized for not considering her feelings. Xu Nuo asked if he was still angry, to which he admitted he was, but feared she would use his anger as an excuse to leave. He simply wanted to see her.
He then shared that he had "figured it out" and asked if he was "qualified" to be with her and if she would come to him. When Xu Nuo cried, he gently told her not to try to "solve it with tears again." As they parted, Xu Nuo repeatedly asked if he was still angry.
He assured her he would be fine and that it was enough if she wasn't scared by his anger in the future, retracting a playful comment that she should leave him alone when he's angry. Later, Peng Yuan called a colleague, asking for Zhao Jin's address, which worried Xu Yang, who was present. Cong Shan called Xu Nuo, reporting that Peng Yuan was downstairs near Zhao Jin's place. Xu Nuo correctly deduced that Peng Yuan was looking for Zhao Jin.
Peng Yuan called Zhao Jin, who didn't answer. As Peng Yuan was leaving, Zhao Jin drove up. Peng Yuan got into Zhao Jin's car, insisting they go to another place to talk. Cong Shan called Xu Nuo, reporting that Peng Yuan and Zhao Jin had driven off, wondering if they were going to fight, which intensified Xu Nuo's worry.
At a new location, Zhao Jin candidly told Peng Yuan how he met Xu Nuo when she brought Shi Ran's cat to his pet hospital, and how their paths crossed again. He admitted he couldn't control his feelings for her, even rejecting her offer to be just friends. Peng Yuan accused Zhao Jin of ignoring his relationship with Xu Nuo.
Zhao Jin countered that if he had truly ignored Peng Yuan, he wouldn't have let Peng Yuan find out, and that he wanted Peng Yuan to realize his "thoughts and attitude" toward him were wrong because Peng Yuan "look[s] down on me too much." Zhao Jin further stated that Peng Yuan also ignored Xu Nuo's feelings, which is why she could no longer be with him.
Peng Yuan then warned Zhao Jin to show him respect while he was still calm, implying his previous restraint was merely tolerance. Zhao Jin dared Peng Yuan to fight him, but Peng Yuan opted to make him "lose submissively" rather than resort to violence. Zhao Jin explained he was there to solve his own problems, citing his divorce and family responsibilities as reasons he was ready to "face the world" and warned Peng Yuan not to "mess with me."
They agreed to "wait and see." Later, Peng Yuan found Xu Nuo and asked her to get in his car. He offered to "pretend nothing happened" and "forget everything" if she left Zhao Jin, saying he would now tolerate her mistakes. Xu Nuo firmly refused, asserting she "didn't make a mistake" and was "sincere to Zhao Jin." Peng Yuan insisted there would be "no changes between us" and that she "must forget him too."
Xu Nuo sorrowfully explained that "the fact has happened" and there was "no way to change it." Peng Yuan dismissed her feelings as "sympathy and compassion," claiming she wouldn't be happy with Zhao Jin. Xu Nuo then revealed she "already wanted to break up with you" even before meeting Zhao Jin, shocking Peng Yuan, who reminded her she had wanted to marry him. Xu Nuo concluded that this situation only "makes me more convinced that we can't be together anymore.
I don't love you anymore." Peng Yuan refused to accept the breakup, especially if it was "just because of that Zhao Jin." Xu Nuo emphasized they were already broken up. She criticized Peng Yuan for only caring about himself, ignoring her unhappiness and past desire to break up, and only starting to "try his best now." She reminded him that in the past, when he showed interest in other women, she would always return to him obediently after he "coaxed" her.
