Love Scenery Episode 17 Recap
> Love Scenery Recap
Liang Chen called Lu Jing, inviting him to a "concert." Without hesitation, Lu Jing agreed and immediately left his home. Meanwhile, Liang Chen’s agent, Ms. Qing, having just finished a long night of work with her, tried to call Liang Chen but found her phone was off. Worried, Ms. Qing contacted Ding Jiayun, who was also unable to reach Liang Chen and grew concerned. He agreed to meet with Ms. Qing to discuss the situation.
At their meeting, Ms. Qing informed Ding Jiayun that Liang Chen had been diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. She expressed deep anxiety, noting that Liang Chen’s composed facade was all the more worrying. Elsewhere, Lu Jing arrived at a KTV room, where Liang Chen revealed her "concert" was an exclusive performance just for him.
Calling it the most special concert of her life, she dedicated her songs to her sole audience member, thanking him for being there to witness such an important moment. After several songs, however, Liang Chen broke down. When Lu Jing asked what was wrong, she tearfully confessed that a doctor had recommended surgery for her polyps. She admitted she was terrified of potentially never being able to sing again and wanted to avoid the operation at all costs.
Lu Jing comforted her, assuring her that everything would be alright. Later, as Lu Jing was walking Liang Chen home, Ding Jiayun intercepted them. He criticized Lu Jing for keeping Liang Chen out in the cold, stressing that as a singer, her health is paramount. Lu Jing retorted that he was about to take her home before Ding Jiayun’s interruption. Liang Chen sent Lu Jing away, thanking him and explaining she needed to speak with Ding Jiayun privately.
Alone with her, Ding Jiayun revealed Ms. Qing had told him everything. He gently chided Liang Chen for pretending to be strong and reminded her that her career would be over if she lost her voice. Liang Chen apologized for having her phone off, claiming the battery had died. Ding Jiayun reassured her they would find a solution for her voice before he left.
The next day, Lu Jing was engrossed in reading medical articles about vocal cord surgery and recovery when his friends found him. They jokingly wondered if he was planning a career change into medicine. Later, Lu Jing ran into Gu Fei Ming, who, comically wrapped in bandages, proudly announced he and Qi Qi were officially a couple, crediting Lu Jing for his success.
When he asked Lu Jing to buy him a celebratory soy milk, Lu Jing dismissed his exaggerated injuries and left. His friends, convinced he was off to meet his mysterious online friend, followed him, speculating that the friend might be a man, which would explain Lu Jing’s secrecy and the use of a voice changer. Meanwhile, Liang Chen told Ms. Qing she preferred conservative treatment over surgery, believing she could recover over time.
Ms. Qing firmly disagreed, arguing that a singer's constant voice use makes conservative treatment insufficient and warned of potential complications if the condition worsened. Taking decisive action, she canceled Liang Chen's singing classes, the movie theme song recording, and all other commercial activities, prioritizing Liang Chen's health above all else. She instructed a reluctant Liang Chen to rest at home and not to overthink things. Lu Jing’s concern for Liang Chen deepened.
His uncle saw him buying a large amount of groceries and teased him about being rejected in love, but when he casually mentioned that Liang Chen was sick, Lu Jing immediately rushed to his grandmother’s house. He initially claimed a sick actor neighbor needed soup, but his astute grandmother quickly saw through the lie, deducing he was trying to help a girl.
Upon learning it was her "future granddaughter-in-law" who was ill, she lovingly helped him prepare a nutritious radish and monk fruit soup and other side dishes for Liang Chen's recovery. Lu Jing arrived at Liang Chen’s apartment with the homemade food. He found her assistant, Ke Ke, there and promptly asked her to leave so he could be alone with Liang Chen.
He presented her with the "lunch made with love," urging her to eat the soup that was good for her throat. When Liang Chen noticed a cut on his hand, Lu Jing claimed his dog, Lu Bao Bei, had bitten him. After she bandaged it for him, he playfully feigned pain, and she saw through his exaggeration. Afterwards, Lu Jing sought out Liang Chen's neighbor, Ms. Ma, a former music major.
Despite Ms. Ma's attempts to avoid him, Lu Jing persistently questioned her about Liang Chen’s condition. He clumsily described the symptoms until Ms. Ma correctly identified them as vocal cord polyps, confirming Lu Jing's fears about how devastated Liang Chen must be.
