Love The Way You Are Episode 27 Recap
> Love The Way You Are Recap
Chen Ye's company faced a severe crisis, with employees expressing worry about their jobs. Despite their concerns, Chen Ye, referred to as "Dad Chen" by his team, assured them that the company would not collapse and urged them to remember their dream and continue fighting. To secure his employees' livelihoods, Chen Ye decided to sell his house urgently, requesting a full cash payment and a quick transfer.
A buyer quickly emerged, willing to pay in full but demanding immediate possession, forcing Chen Ye and his son, Yu, to find new living arrangements right away. Yu was saddened by the move, but Chen Ye explained it was necessary for his colleagues' dreams and his own career. When Yu suggested moving in with his mother, Qin Yiran, Chen Ye reluctantly agreed to ask her.
Witnessing Chen Ye's sincere plea and Yu's direct appeal, Qin Yiran's heart softened, and she agreed to let Yu stay with her. While Yu was settling in, Qin Yiran overheard some of Chen Ye's employees discussing the company's precarious situation and Chen Ye's recent absences. When she asked Yu about his father, he simply stated Chen Ye was busy.
Qin Yiran found it challenging to care for Yu, who struggled to adapt and constantly asked for snacks and games she didn't have. Meanwhile, Chen Ye worked tirelessly from his office, taking on any available project, including a tedious green screen keying job from a large animation company. He assured the client that his company excelled at such tasks, viewing even the smallest jobs as essential.
To keep his company operating, Chen Ye took on various small projects, including a children's animated series based on the "Three-Character Classic." His team toiled day and night, with one employee complaining of severe aches from exhaustion. Yin Yike visited them with food, encouraging their dedication. In her own role, Yin Yike was also burdened with work amidst corporate politics.
A senior executive, Frank, prioritized the Live Stream Department, prompting employees from other departments to request transfers, much to the chagrin of Mr. Kong, who advocated for fairer resource distribution. Mr. Kong then instructed a subordinate to monitor Yin Yike's department for any missteps. Meanwhile, Jiang Man, a rival colleague, frequently harassed Yin Yike's team, but Xia Xiaomian, working tirelessly despite being sick, staunchly defended their improved performance data.
During a meeting, Yin Yike discreetly inquired if a potential client produced animated films, explaining she was asking for a friend. The client replied that his company focuses on advertising videos, deeming animated films too high-risk. Yin Yike was deeply concerned about Xu Guangxi, who was overworked and despondent after his project was plagiarized. During dinner with her parents, Father Yin and Aunt Lan, she explained Xu Guangxi's predicament.
Though he initially grumbled about her dating a younger man, her father expressed genuine concern. Reassuring her that setbacks are a part of growth for ambitious young people, he insisted she take his bank card as a gesture of family support. When Yin Yibo tried to ask for funds for his own live stream, his father dismissed him, citing the family rule of raising a son with austerity and a daughter with wealth.
Visibly distraught, Yin Yibo later asked Yin Yike why Xia Xiaomian had stopped replying to his messages. Though he initially denied his feelings, he confessed that she was different from other girls, always rushing to his aid, even offering her savings when his father was hospitalized. Yin Yike concluded that he was drawn to Xia Xiaomian's protective nature and revealed that she was sick with a fever.
Prompted into action, Yibo bought medicine, food, and a T-shirt and rushed to Xia Xiaomian's home. She reacted with hostility, but he noticed her high fever and insisted on caring for her. When she questioned his sudden kindness, he claimed they were friends. Pressed further, he admitted, "I think we are closer than friends," but was cut off before he could explain. Before leaving in a fluster, he left the gifts and meticulously explained the medicine dosages.
The next day, Xia Xiaomian called Yin Yike, upset about the T-shirt Yibo had given her, which was printed with characters for "unreasonable" and "to make a scene." She complained that he had also feigned memory loss about their recent kiss. Yin Yike explained it was a homophonic pun, "wúlǐ qǔ nào," meaning "unreasonable to marry you"—a clumsy confession. Realizing the true meaning, a shy Xia Xiaomian hurried back to work.
Meanwhile, Yin Yibo's father, guessing he had fought with Xia Xiaomian, praised her warm-hearted nature and advised his son to win her over with sincerity. Aunt Lan also encouraged Yibo, reminding him that Xia Xiaomian had once carried him home when he was drunk. Inspired, Yin Yibo went to Xia Xiaomian's office. However, as he arrived during her live broadcast, a fan named Dan from Xiafei Road interrupted the stream to publicly declare, "I like you," to a stunned Xia Xiaomian.
