Love O2O Episode 26 Recap
> Love O2O Recap
Xiao Nai called a meeting, informing his team that Feng Teng Corporation had moved the demo date forward to September 1st. Qiu Yonghou expressed concern that their optimization software, including testing and revisions, couldn't be completed until September 16th. Xiao Nai, however, declared that he would not abandon the optimization. Instead, he planned to pursue a dual approach, working on the optimization tool while making other adjustments simultaneously, confident they could finish everything in ten days.
The seafood celebration that Hao Mei was supposed to host would now be a celebration banquet in Shanghai after their success. The team embarked on a grueling ten-day work schedule, toiling day and night, often napping at their desks and ordering takeout. Observing their exhaustion, Weiwei approached Xiao Nai. She acknowledged that during this critical period, time couldn't be wasted on commuting, but worried their lack of proper rest would lead to illness.
She suggested purchasing blankets and mats for more comfortable sleep. Xiao Nai conceded his oversight and entrusted her with the company's logistical responsibilities, handing her his wallet. Weiwei then arranged mattresses and blankets for everyone. The team appreciated her thoughtful gesture, jokingly calling her a "Snail Girl" and praising the VIP treatment. Weiwei offered to help until school started, and Xiao Nai suggested she continue as an intern, humorously stating he would put her salary into his own account.
Meanwhile, Meng Yiran visited her cousin, Zhen Shaoxiang, having heard he had become an industrious businessman. Zhen Shaoxiang admitted he initially joined the design team to defeat Xiao Nai fairly, but discovered game design was far more interesting than he expected, thus finding something he genuinely enjoyed. Na Na informed Meng Yiran that she had witnessed Cao Guang and Zhao Erxi arguing. Speculating that Erxi liked Cao Guang, who in turn liked Bei Weiwei, Na Na decided to intervene.
She approached Erxi, feigning concern and offering macarons, then began slandering Weiwei with false accusations. However, Na Na's over-the-top lies backfired. Instead of being swayed, Erxi realized just how many baseless rumors and attacks Weiwei had been silently enduring. This made Erxi feel deeply remorseful for her own anger, understanding that Weiwei had been supportive while facing these attacks alone. Oblivious to this, Na Na invited Erxi to a meal with Meng Yiran, ostensibly to console her.
Following this, Erxi received an apology text from Cao Guang. She called him back, not to accept his apology, but to ask if he had apologized to Weiwei, who had been falsely accused of cheating because of their conflict. Erxi urged Cao Guang to apologize to Weiwei, but he refused, admitting he "dared not" apologize. This confirmed Erxi's suspicion that Cao Guang truly liked Weiwei.
Erxi then firmly told Cao Guang that the person she liked was the online persona "Wei Guang," not him, and that she had never liked the real him. She instructed him to pretend they didn't know each other on campus, ending the call with "Goodbye, Wei Guang." Erxi then plucked up the courage to call Weiwei, who had fallen asleep at her desk from exhaustion. Xiao Nai answered, telling Erxi that Weiwei would be very happy to hear from her.
When Weiwei woke and learned of the call, she was overjoyed. Playfully noting he sensed his girlfriend might be moving out, Xiao Nai watched as Weiwei eagerly took his bicycle and bought a cake to meet Erxi. During their meeting, Erxi confessed her foolishness and regret, admitting she wouldn't have understood the situation without "the campus beauty's sidekick" stirring up trouble. Weiwei reassured her it wasn't her fault.
The two had a heart-to-heart, where Erxi confessed her past envy but was now ready to move on. Erxi then playfully interrogated Weiwei about living with Xiao Nai. Weiwei later texted Xiao Nai about moving back, but he called and insisted she stay until school started. To justify staying, Weiwei claimed his valuable paintings needed guarding. Weiwei and Erxi decided to accept the dinner invitation to see what Na Na and Meng Yiran were planning.
At the restaurant, Erxi proceeded to order a large array of desserts and pastries. While secretly trying to record her on their phone, Na Na and Meng Yiran prompted Erxi to badmouth Weiwei, suggesting her words would have more credibility. However, Erxi feigned innocence and replied that such a serious matter required careful thought, stating she needed to "think while eating," much to their frustration.
