Long For You Episode 4 Recap
> Long For You Recap
Li Zhe returns to China with Xue Ji, still worried about her. He is put in charge of training new talents at an entertainment company. Later, he cancels his evening plans to text Xue Ji, then brings her a cake and sees Gu Shiyi by her side. After sending Xue Ji home, Li Zhe asks her if Gu Shiyi is the man from her dreams, but Xue Ji replies that everything is uncertain.
He jokingly suggests staying over, but Xue Ji immediately refuses. As he leaves, Li Zhe tells Xue Ji he hopes he is the man in her dreams, wondering why she is so obsessed with a dream person and why it cannot be him. The next day, while reviewing artist files for new debuts, Li Zhe discovers Gu Shiyi is among the debuting group, piquing his interest.
Gu Shiyi is a key trainee at the entertainment company, part of a band undergoing rigorous training and strict personal restrictions as they prepare for debut. His friends warn him to hide any romantic relationships from the Company President. One day, his ex-girlfriend arrives at the company to request a reconciliation, but Gu Shiyi firmly rejects her. She insists that their relationship is not over.
During their dispute, they are coincidentally seen by the Company President, who advises Gu Shiyi that he cannot be in a relationship before his debut. Gu Shiyi, momentarily speechless, accepts his fault and prepares for a recording session. His gentle, melancholic singing deeply moves the President and a planner, leading them to reconsider a group debut and potentially allow him to debut as a solo artist.
Later, after Xue Ji and Jiang Huai finish discussing compensation, Gu Shiyi expresses suspicion that Xue Ji is deliberately using the compensation to trouble Jiang Huai. When taking Xue Ji home, Gu Shiyi asks her not to implicate Jiang Huai further. Xue Ji unequivocally reveals her purpose: to find the man from her dreams to unlock memories, stating that Gu Shiyi is that very man.
Gu Shiyi finds this claim absurd, believing that searching for someone based purely on dreams is preposterous and that he could not possibly dream of someone he doesn't know. As they argue outside the car, Li Zhe arrives with a cake. Gu Shiyi later recalls Xue Ji's words about dreams and calls Jiang Huai the next morning, warning her to stay away from Xue Ji. However, Xue Ji, who is nearby, snatches the phone and hangs up.
Jiang Huai, initially confused by Xue Ji's dream claims, gradually understands Xue Ji's obsession after Xue Ji shows her research materials. Meanwhile, Madam Min, sitting in a wheelchair and sighing softly, becomes vibrant and energetic upon her secretary's announcement of Mr. Qi's arrival. She greets her lover, whom she hasn't seen in years, with immense relief and emotion. Mr. Qi expresses concern about her illness, lovingly chiding her for not accepting treatment.
Madam Min remains steadfast, stating she doesn't want to lose her hair, but believes someone can save her, and she will live well. Mr. Qi promises he will wait for her recovery. Xue Ji finds a house for herself and Jiang Huai, but the move-in date is delayed by several weeks to a month. Jiang Huai's own lease is set to expire in a week, leaving her temporarily homeless and distressed.
In the evening, while eating instant noodles on the balcony, Xue Ji and Jiang Huai chat, and Jiang Huai gradually comes to appreciate Xue Ji's optimism and kindness, fostering a closer relationship. From Jiang Huai, Xue Ji learns about Gu Shiyi's situation as a key trainee living with his group members in an apartment. Inspired, Xue Ji devises a solution: temporarily stay at Gu Shiyi's apartment to awaken his dormant dreams.
When Xue Ji and Jiang Huai unexpectedly arrive at his apartment with their luggage, Gu Shiyi is annoyed and helpless. To offset a 200,000 yuan debt, he grudgingly allows them to stay, asking Jiang Huai to endure for twenty days and to keep their presence a secret from the Company President. Xue Ji, seeing how clean and tidy Gu Shiyi's room is, immediately jumps onto his bed, prompting Gu Shiyi to tell her to get off.
She responds by saying she wishes she had 200,000 yuan so she could stay in a hotel. Gu Shiyi has no choice but to speak with Jiang Huai. Soon, the other trainees return to the apartment. In this small apartment, "sparks" begin to ignite between Gu Shiyi and Xue Ji.
