Love The Way You Are Episode 16 Recap
> Love The Way You Are Recap
Concerned by Yin Yibo's troubled demeanor, Aunt Lan encouraged him to follow his heart, whether it was his postgraduate studies or another passion. She expressed her faith in him, sure he would reconcile with those he had quarreled with. Later, Xia Xiaomian urgently requested an emergency training session from Yin Yibo for the upcoming Double Seventh Festival live stream.
He agreed, but gave her a serious warning to perform well, threatening to retaliate for her leaking his secret if she failed. During their training, Yin Yibo taught Xia Xiaomian the importance of creating a "sense of empathy" for product introductions. Using a perfume as an example, he had her imagine him as her ideal romantic partner and had the onlooking Xu Guangxi imagine him as a beloved goddess to demonstrate the technique.
Impressed, Xu Guangxi praised Yin Yibo's sales prowess. Yin Yibo stressed that their collaboration must remain a secret from his sister, Yin Yike, and made it clear to Xu Guangxi that this was a one-time arrangement. The next morning, Aunt Lan expressed worry over Yin Yike's late nights and suggested she tell their father about her breakup. Yin Yike deflected, citing her commitment to the live stream.
At the office, Yin Yike stressed the stream's importance for their mid-term data, but Xia Xiaomian tried to convince her to rest, suggesting her presence might make the team nervous. As the stream was about to begin, Yin Yike's continued presence created a problem. Yin Yibo had Xu Guangxi distract her by offering the team coffee and then pulling her aside, fabricating a need for her advice on a script and hinting at a surprise.
Though suspicious, Yin Yike gave him ten minutes. The distraction worked, allowing Yin Yibo to slip into the live stream room and be introduced as Xia Xiaomian's "special assistant" and "sales elixir." However, Yin Yike returned sooner than expected. When she questioned Xu Guangxi again, he feigned that he was preparing a latte art surprise for her.
With Yin Yike back in the main office, Yin Yibo was forced to hide in a nearby bathroom and quickly adapt, deciding to remotely coach Xia Xiaomian via an earpiece after getting a link to the backstage data. Guided by Yin Yibo, Xia Xiaomian performed with a newfound confidence that astonished Yin Yike, who noted the impressive sales data but was curious about the high number of male fans.
Yin Yike's suspicions grew when she heard Yin Yibo's voice from Xia Xiaomian's dropped earpiece. She tried to follow the sound, but Xu Guangxi intercepted her again, feigning ignorance. Convinced something was amiss, Yin Yike went to the live stream room. There, she discovered Yin Yibo had joined the broadcast, linking his famous "Dan from Xiafei Road" account to Xia Xiaomian's stream.
He appeared via video, cross-promoting to his millions of followers and causing their sales to skyrocket past their KPI. After the stream, Yin Yike confronted her brother. While Xia Xiaomian defended his hard work, Yin Yibo openly expressed his desire to pursue live streaming as a career and asked for his sister's support. Yin Yike agreed on one condition: he must keep her relationship with Xu Guangxi a secret from their father.
She confessed that Xu Guangxi made her feel cherished and helped her learn to value herself, rather than living only to please others. Touched by her vulnerability, Yin Yibo agreed to support her choice, though he vowed to conduct a long-term "inspection" of Xu Guangxi. In return, Yin Yike acknowledged his exceptional talent in the live-streaming industry. Ms. Zheng commended Yin Yike's department for their strong mid-term results, despite a setback with a major client due to workplace politics.
Yin Yike affirmed her commitment to success and suggested creating "signature products" to stand out. Ms. Zheng then revealed an opportunity to collaborate with "Flower World," a popular mobile game company. Yin Yike proposed a win-win co-branded launch: integrating their fragrances into the game and selling physical merchandise via their stream. At the meeting with Mr. Ma from Flower World, Yin Yike and her new streamer, Wu Yurou, presented the detailed plan.
Impressed, and noting the approaching summer vacation peak season for his game, Mr. Ma agreed to sign the contract immediately. Elsewhere, a young boy named Chen Yu caused a commotion at a fragrance counter, covering perfume bottles because he claimed his dad's smelled bad. Qin Yiran, an employee, intervened. Just then, Chen Ye and Xu Guangxi arrived. The boy, Chen Yu, called out "Dad" to Chen Ye.
Seeing Qin Yiran, a panicked Chen Ye lied, claiming Chen Yu was Xu Guangxi's son. Qin Yiran jokingly offered Xu Guangxi time off, and he played along, taking the boy for ice cream. Unaware of the truth, Xia Xiaomian witnessed this and rushed to tell Yin Yike that Xu Guangxi had a son who appeared to be six years old. Yin Yike was stunned, recalling Xu Guangxi's earlier promise of a "surprise" and now fearing it was a "scare."
