Love The Way You Are Episode 13 Recap
> Love The Way You Are Recap
Yin Yike answered a call from her father, who was waiting directly outside her company. She quickly went to a downstairs convenience store to buy some food to appease him. Her father, however, was unimpressed by the "junk food" she offered, instead launching into a lecture about her long working hours and single status.
He expressed strong disapproval of her relentless dedication to work, which he believed caused her to neglect her relationship with Li Zelin, whom he viewed as an ideal son-in-law. He questioned why she, at thirty-two, was still unmarried and urged her to prioritize marriage over her career. Her father also voiced concern that Zelin had returned to Beijing without informing him, wondering if the couple had quarreled.
Despite Yin Yike’s reassurances, her father remained insistent on interfering, also briefly criticizing her brother, Yin Yibo, for his academic struggles and Yin Yike's habit of giving him money. Later, Xu Guangxi video-called Yin Yike, proudly showing off the suit she had bought for him, which fit perfectly. Their lighthearted conversation turned to Yin Yike's recent interrogation by her father.
Xu Guangxi offered a different perspective, suggesting she view it as a "sweet burden" and expressing a touch of envy for her lively family, as he rarely saw his own father. Their call was abruptly interrupted when Yin Yibo burst into Yin Yike's office with milk, startling her. He claimed he couldn't get her attention by knocking because he heard her giggling with someone.
He then subtly offered to help her manage their father's concerns about her relationship with Li Zelin, but only for a fee. In Yin Yike's live stream department, the initial performance assessment for new streamers Yurou and Xia Xiaomian showed a significant gap. Yurou's sales were impressive, while Xia Xiaomian's numbers were disappointingly low, though not zero.
Analyzing the data, Yin Yike realized their 2-5 PM time slot coincided with work and school hours, so she proposed shifting to a 12-2 PM lunchtime slot to capture a larger audience, which the team agreed to. During the next stream, a determined Xia Xiaomian adopted a "cute" persona. When sales still remained stagnant, she secretly purchased her own products to artificially boost the numbers.
While her colleagues praised her for the impressive data, she was left with a precarious bank balance. Desperate, Xia Xiaomian approached Yin Yibo for a loan to cover her self-purchases, but he, feigning unemployment, refused. She then pleaded with him to teach her live streaming techniques, admitting her weakness in selling products like perfume despite being a beauty blogger.
Yin Yibo firmly rejected the idea, explaining that he couldn't let his sister discover his own involvement in live streaming and warned Xia Xiaomian to keep their interactions secret. Meanwhile, Xu Guangxi's team secured Mr. Xie's project. During the negotiation, when Mr. Xie hesitated due to the project's scale, Chen Ye cleverly applied pressure by mentioning other companies awaiting their proposal and then producing a contract form on the spot, securing Mr. Xie's commitment and a deposit.
To celebrate, Chen Ye announced bonuses and a team outing, deciding on an RV camping trip for the weekend. He enthusiastically suggested they bring female companions, specifically mentioning his "fairy Jiang Man." Later, seeing Yin Yike studying late, Xu Guangxi invited her to the camping trip, suggesting it would be a good way for her to relax. Yin Yike was hesitant until he revealed he had rented a separate motorhome just for the two of them.
Alarmed but excited by how fast their relationship was progressing, she accepted and immediately began a rigorous beauty and fitness regimen, much to Yin Yibo's amusement. Noticing his sister's sudden transformation—a new youthful style, perfume, and commitment to exercise—Xia Xiaomian suspected Yin Yike was in a new relationship. She proposed a bet to a skeptical Yin Yibo, who still believed his sister was with Li Zelin.
Xia Xiaomian, trusting her "female intuition," wagered that if she was right about Yin Yike's new romance, Yin Yibo would have to become her free live stream assistant. Confident, Yin Yibo accepted the bet. Yin Yike asked Qin Yiran to join the camping trip as a "cover." Qin Yiran immediately deduced the new romance, having noticed Yin Yike's new bracelet and seeing a matching one on Xu Guangxi's wrist.
She initially refused, mockingly calling their friendship "plastic" for being used as a shield and stating she didn't want to see a "certain middle-aged man," implying Chen Ye. However, she had a change of heart after Yin Yike relayed Xu Guangxi's advice about prioritizing one's own feelings. Deciding not to avoid her own issues, Qin Yiran agreed to go. Later, she spotted Yin Yike and Xu Guangxi at a mall and smiled, genuinely happy to see her friend moving on and finding happiness.
