Love O2O Episode 29 Recap
> Love O2O Recap
KO arrived at Hao Mei’s new apartment, finding it incredibly messy despite Hao Mei having only moved in the day before. Hao Mei asked why KO was there, and KO simply replied he came to ask for a favor. Observing the empty kitchen, KO compiled a shopping list, mostly for cooking utensils and ingredients, indicating his intention to cook at Hao Mei's place. Hao Mei, initially confused by the list, eventually agreed to go shopping with KO.
Upon their return, KO instructed Hao Mei to occupy himself for two hours, after which dinner would be ready. Soon, a feast of Hao Mei's favorite dishes was laid before him. Hao Mei found it almost too good to be true, wondering if KO would disappear by morning. During dinner, Hao Mei asked KO which university he graduated from.
KO revealed he only had nine years of mandatory education, having lost his family at fourteen and lacking funds to continue school. Hao Mei expressed admiration, noting that KO was now more accomplished than many college students. KO then proposed to move in, offering to cook, wash dishes, mop floors, and do laundry, promising to do everything. Hao Mei, seeing this as a great deal, readily agreed.
The following morning, as the team prepared for a weekend outing, Yu Gong jokingly accused Hao Mei of getting special treatment by letting KO move in, but Hao Mei defended himself by listing all of KO's domestic skills. The team then headed to a resort for swimming and a barbecue. Xiao Nai picked up Weiwei, who commented on their noticeable entourage.
Xiao Nai playfully halted the car, mentioning they might not get much alone time during the trip, subtly conveying his desire to spend time just with her. Upon arrival, Xiao Nai gave Weiwei priority in choosing her room. At the pool, Xiao Nai and KO became the center of attention, leading to a proposed swimming race.
Hao Mei initially championed Xiao Nai as an inter-collegiate champion but then praised KO's physique, teasingly earning a remark from Yu Gong about his enthusiasm for KO. In the first round, Weiwei bet on Xiao Nai, and Hao Mei bet on KO, with Xiao Nai emerging victorious. Not satisfied, Hao Mei demanded a rematch, declaring he wouldn't be in the mood for barbecue if he didn't win.
This time, he quickly chose to bet on Xiao Nai, leaving Weiwei to reluctantly bet on KO. To everyone's surprise, KO won the second race, with Xiao Nai later admitting he let KO win so that KO would be in the mood to barbecue for them. KO took charge of the barbecue, but the food was quickly devoured by the hungry group, prompting Hao Mei to lament his inability to get a drumstick.
To manage the food distribution, one of the team members suggested a game of PK in "A Chinese Ghost Story" for chicken legs. Xiao Nai was excluded from playing directly. Weiwei played first and initially lost to Yu Gong, but with Xiao Nai acting as her strategist, she quickly won the next round. Hao Mei then asked to borrow Weiwei's account to try her character class.
As Weiwei logged out of her account, she found a farewell message from Zhenshui Wuxiang. In his letter, Zhenshui Wuxiang confessed to having been aimless but was provoked into game development, where he unexpectedly found a true interest. He admitted that he was prepared for failure but never expected to lose so disgracefully, especially regarding the unethical tactics used by his father's company. He expressed shame and wondered if Weiwei would believe he was unaware of those actions.
He concluded that he could no longer stay in "A Chinese Ghost Story" due to the painful memories, and planned to diligently study and truly learn something. He ended by asking Weiwei to relay a message to Xiao Nai: that he would one day develop a game superior to Xiao Nai's. Reading the letter, Weiwei silently wished him well. Later, Xiao Nai took Weiwei to a scenic spot that resembled Dusk Glow Peak from "A Chinese Ghost Story."
Weiwei expressed concern that "A New Chinese Ghost Story" might lead to a decline in players for the original game, eventually causing Feng Teng to shut down its servers. Xiao Nai reassured her, explaining that no new game could fully replace the original and that Feng Teng had promised perpetual operation.
He added that the game would last at least until their children were old enough to play it, and he would take their child to Vermilion Bird Bridge to tell them that's where their parents first spoke in the game. Weiwei, comforted by his words, realized that even if the game servers eventually closed, their shared experiences and memories would remain in their hearts, unaffected by the disappearance of data.
Xiao Nai playfully asserted his memory would be better than hers. Two years later, Xiao Nai was interviewed by a gaming media outlet after Zhi Yi Technology won international awards for both its mobile and PC games, making the company highly valuable in the industry. The host inquired about rumors of Feng Teng acquiring Zhi Yi Technology, to which Xiao Nai responded that their companies would only engage in product collaborations, with no acquisition plans.
When asked how a male-dominated team designed games so popular with women, Xiao Nai revealed that the information was inaccurate, as his fiancée was also a part of their design team. Watching the live interview, Xiao Ling and Si Si immediately confronted Weiwei, demanding to know when she became Xiao Nai’s fiancée.
Weiwei, equally surprised, recalled an earlier conversation where she had asked Xiao Nai for two summers' worth of intern salaries, to which he had replied, "No money, but if you want a person, there is one." Her roommates teased her about Xiao Nai's devious plans, noting she was his girlfriend before meeting and now his fiancée without a formal proposal, joking about her future "position in the family." Weiwei simply stated that she and Xiao Nai don't fight.
Weiwei finally graduated, and she and her three roommates dressed in their caps and gowns for a photo shoot. Erxi, unsatisfied with two hundred photos, climbed onto a statue for a selfie. At that moment, Cao Guang, who was now working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and accompanying a foreign business delegation, happened to pass by. From her perch, Erxi, not recognizing him, called out to him to take a photo for her.
As he approached, they recognized each other and immediately began bickering. Cao Guang told her to come down and not "ruin the image of our school." Erxi retorted, making fun of him for being an "attendant." As they argued, Erxi lost her footing and nearly fell from the statue. Cao Guang quickly reached out and caught her, holding her securely in his arms. Their roommates, witnessing the scene from afar, observed the romantic atmosphere, commenting that it was a classic moment from a romantic drama, and decided not to intervene.
