Love The Way You Are Episode 30 (Ending) Recap
> Love The Way You Are Recap
Yin Yike expressed her strong belief in her relationship with Xu Guangxi to Xu Yuan, stating that if a relationship relies on control, it is too fragile. She asserted her own confidence, explaining that before meeting Guangxi, she used to believe that taking care of others was the same as taking care of her love. However, Xu Guangxi helped her realize her own worth, making her more confident and unafraid of short separations or future uncertainties.
Xu Yuan, finding Yin Yike an interesting opponent, admired her self-assurance and cryptically remarked that the coffee beans had a sweet aftertaste. Xu Guangxi, sitting with Yin Yike on a swing, revealed he had overheard her conversation with Xu Yuan, which explained Xu Yuan's comment about the coffee’s sweet aftertaste. He admitted he was initially considering not going to Guangzhou, especially after she seemed to readily agree to his move.
In response to her playful teasing, Yin Yike earnestly expressed how much she would miss him. He confessed that her newfound confidence, evident in her conversation with Xu Yuan, inspired him to also become a better version of himself. Vowing to protect her, he promised that distance would not hinder their relationship.
To formalize this commitment, he presented her with a "Long-distance Relationship Regulations" manual, reading its articles aloud, which mandated constant contact, daily shared activities, and regular updates on their well-being. Their long-distance relationship began with strict adherence to Xu Guangxi's regulations. They ensured constant communication, exchanging good morning messages and daily check-ins, with Xu Guangxi often reminding Yin Yike to carry her power bank. They shared virtual movie nights and commented on films as if they were side-by-side.
Regular updates on their sleep and meals were mandatory, and even work deadlines didn't exempt them from surprise takeaway deliveries he would arrange. They maintained their romance by sharing all aspects of their daily lives, including updates on visits to family. The routine was broken when Xu Guangxi suddenly became unreachable. He had actually returned to Shanghai early, as his company granted a day off after their film submission.
He surprised Yin Yike at a restaurant, explaining he had missed her and wanted to create a small surprise. Touched by his effort, Yin Yike thanked him for his silent support, quoting the sentiment that behind every successful woman stands a supportive man. News reports confirmed the success of Xu Guangxi’s project, "Fengqi Shendu," which outperformed "Double-faced Fox Spirit" at the box office, bringing joy and financial reward to the team.
Dad Chen, their leader, celebrated their triumph by distributing bonuses and immediately announcing a new project. Xu Yuan, highly satisfied, directed her team to quickly proceed with the next phase. Meanwhile, Yin Yike was promoted to Marketing Director. In a reversal of roles, Vice President Kong, who previously dictated to her, now had to seek her instructions.
When he brought urgent documents for her signature, Yin Yike, mirroring his past actions, instructed him to label them with yellow sticky notes and place them on her desk, a directive he promptly followed. On Yin Yike's birthday, her colleagues showered her with well wishes. However, Xu Guangxi sent a message apologizing that he couldn't make it back from Guangzhou due to urgent work. Feeling lonely, Yin Yike tried to contact her friends and family.
Her best friend, Qin Yiran, was at a prenatal check-up, where her partner Chen Ye was meticulously, if excessively, caring for her. Next, Yin Yike called her brother, Yin Yibo, who was busy with a couple's live stream with Xiaomian. Finally, her attempt to connect with her father and Aunt Lan was thwarted as they were excitedly embarking on a long-awaited trip with a tour group.
Feeling her birthday was cursed, Yin Yike ended up at a convenience store, resigned to spending the evening alone. As Yin Yike was about to eat her solitary dinner of instant noodles, she received a call from Xu Guangxi. She tried to lie, claiming to be at a fancy Michelin Japanese restaurant, but Xu Guangxi, who had been watching her, caught her in the act, teasing her about her forgetfulness and her secret beer.
He then revealed he had finished his work early and hurried back, emphasizing that her birthday was his top priority. He presented a birthday cake, and as Yin Yike made a wish, he kissed her. Yin Yike later realized that Xu Guangxi had orchestrated her friends and family being busy to ensure they could have an intimate celebration. Walking past a bridal shop, Xu Guangxi playfully asked about her ideal proposal.
Yin Yike expressed a preference for something simple and private. Taking a can tab, Xu Guangxi slipped it onto her finger, promising that this temporary token would one day become a real ring.
