Love Scenery Episode 4 Recap
> Love Scenery Recap
Upon arriving at the studio for her show, Liang Chen is warned by her assistant, Yuan Ke Ke, that Meng Lan Zhi will also be there. Ke Ke urges Liang Chen to be prepared in case they cross paths. Meanwhile, in a university dorm, Lu Jing’s friends discuss Liang Chen, an alumnus of their university.
One friend excitedly talks about sleeping on every bed in their building, which was formerly the music academy’s girls' dormitory, hoping to absorb some of Liang Chen’s "magical aura." Lu Jing jokingly tells him he would just gain weight instead. At the filming set, Liang Chen's friend Ding Jiayun is waiting for her. Her ex-boyfriend, Yue Yu Xun, confronts her, begging for help after his show was cancelled.
He shamelessly tries to reconcile, blaming Meng Lan Zhi for seducing him while he was drunk. Unbeknownst to him, Meng Lan Zhi overhears his accusations from outside the makeup room, leading to a heated public argument between them. Afterwards, Ding Jiayun sternly warns Yue Yu Xun to stay away from Liang Chen, threatening further action if he continues to harass her. After filming concludes, Ding Jiayun invites Liang Chen to dinner at the Corridor Bridge Restaurant.
Coincidentally, Lu Jing is also dining there with his grandparents. From a distance, Lu Jing spots Liang Chen, his crush. During their meal, Lu Jing’s grandparents urge him to find a girlfriend. In her own conversation with Ding Jiayun, Liang Chen happens to mention that she also plays the game "Beautiful Soul" and is being guided by a highly skilled expert, which she finds very enjoyable. As Liang Chen is leaving the restaurant, she realizes she has lost an earring.
Lu Jing finds the earring near the restroom and returns it to her assistant. Hearing Lu Jing’s voice, Liang Chen finds it remarkably familiar, but due to the pouring rain and Ding Jiayun’s umbrella blocking her view, she doesn't see his face as she gets into the car. That evening, Liang Chen plays "Beautiful Soul" while Lu Jing live-streams as his gaming persona, "Herman."
During the stream, Lu Jing playfully teases Liang Chen, calling her "Little Box" for her lack of skill. Determined to prove him wrong, she follows his in-game advice—crouching to reduce recoil, holding her breath to steady the aim, and lowering the muzzle—and successfully makes a difficult shot. Afterwards, they chat, and Lu Jing mentions that her voice reminds him of someone he met earlier that day. They soon discover they both attend Nanze University.
Lu Jing then invites her to an escape room mission in the game. Armed with only a large metal spoon, Liang Chen jokes about digging a tunnel like in "The Shawshank Redemption." They use the spoon to uncover a hidden chip and must solve a binary addition puzzle to proceed. Lu Jing guides her past patrolling robots by navigating through their blind spots.
At one point, he jumps from a high platform, and when Liang Chen hesitates, he playfully threatens to shoot her. After she jumps, he lets her fall, explaining that catching her would have caused her to lose health points in the game. During an intense robot attack, Liang Chen panics and cries for help just as Lu Jing's grandmother enters his room. He quickly claims the shouting is from a movie about "pigs being slaughtered."
After the danger passes, Liang Chen reveals she recorded a video of their gameplay, teasing Lu Jing for his "snake-like" movements and calling him a jerk for not saving her earlier.
