Make A Wish Episode 7 Recap
> Make A Wish Recap
Journalist Qin Mingming and pet doctor Xu Zihao appeared together on a police dog program. During filming, Xu Zihao tried repeatedly to engage Qin Mingming in conversation. Afterwards, as they were leaving, he continued to follow her, insisting on talking or getting coffee. He cautioned her about walking in high heels down the stairs, but then clumsily twisted his own ankle. Qin Mingming initially ignored his attempts at conversation, but seeing him genuinely injured, she offered her help.
As he was being attended to, Xu Zihao apologized, explaining that he wasn't usually like this, but he couldn't control himself whenever he saw her. He offered to stop appearing on the show if he was causing her trouble, and even find another doctor for her pet. Qin Mingming, softened by his sincerity, agreed to drive him home.
Meanwhile, Chi Yan helped Xiao Xiu prepare for her brewery job interview by teaching her about different beer types, their production methods, and storage. The next day, Xiao Xiu went for her interview, only to find that Lin Mo was the interviewer. She successfully answered all his questions, demonstrating her knowledge. Lin Mo offered her the job. Xiao Xiu then requested to be paid daily instead of monthly.
Lin Mo initially questioned her desperation for money, but eventually agreed, and Xiao Xiu started working immediately. Chi Yan's mother visited his bookstore. Chi Yan was distant and cold towards her. His mother sought his help, explaining that Zhang Yi was still angry with her. She worried that if things continued, she would have to leave Zhang's family, with nowhere else to go. Chi Yan responded with a sarcastic smile, noting that she still only thought of herself.
His mother tried to persuade him, suggesting Zhang Yi could offer him a good job and a better life. Chi Yan, however, stated he was content with his current life. Later, Lin Mo was once again attacked by debt collectors in an alley behind the brewery, collapsing to the ground. Xiao Xiu found him bleeding and panicked, wondering if he was dead. Lin Mo, though injured, insisted he was fine and warned her not to call for help.
At the same time, Chi Yan received another visit from his mother, who was still trying to convince him to reconcile with Zhang Yi. Chi Yan firmly reiterated his decision to no longer collaborate with Zhang Yi and asked his mother to stay out of his life. Shortly after, Chi Yan received a desperate call from Xiao Xiu, telling him her colleague was severely injured in the alley. Chi Yan rushed over.
Lin Mo, covered in blood, still refused to go to the hospital, even threatening Xiao Xiu if she called for help. He eventually lost consciousness, forcing Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu to take him back to the bookstore. Lin Mo woke up in Chi Yan's bookstore. Both Xiao Xiu and Chi Yan urged him to seek professional medical attention, but Lin Mo steadfastly refused, citing a superstitious belief that a fortune-teller warned him against it due to a "blood disaster."
He thanked Chi Yan for patching up his wounds, then left the bookstore. He also asked if Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu were a couple, to which Xiao Xiu replied they were just friends. Chi Yan then advised Xiao Xiu to get some rest after her first day of work.
Back at Zhang Yi's office, his new book's reputation plummeted, and he desperately sought a writer better than Chi Yan, despite his assistant's pleas about the tight schedule and Chi Yan's unique style. Zhang Yi angrily dismissed his assistant's suggestions. Meanwhile, Chi Yan's mother called him, saying she found his late father's pen—a gift from Chi Yan himself—and wanted to meet. Chi Yan agreed to meet her at the Twelve Oaks cafe.
Xiao Xiu secretly followed Chi Yan to the cafe. At the cafe, Chi Yan's mother presented him with the pen. She also showed concern for Chi Yan's peanut allergy, by asking for a sandwich without peanut butter, which Chi Yan confirmed he could scrape off himself. She tried to persuade him to be more adaptable, especially with his bookstore business.
She explained that Zhang Yi was grateful for his past contributions and offered Chi Yan a card with 150,000 yuan, suggesting he use it to develop his bookstore. She urged him to face reality, acknowledging his ideals but stressing that he shouldn't be at odds with money. Chi Yan was unmoved, reaffirming his decision not to cooperate with Zhang Yi and stating he valued his boundaries.
His mother then spoke of her own difficulties with Zhang Yi's family, hoping to sway him. Chi Yan simply told her that everyone chooses their own path and then left. As he exited, he spotted Xiao Xiu, who had accidentally dropped her camera while eavesdropping. Xiao Xiu quickly chased after him, explaining she didn't mean to listen in, but also expressing her support for his decision. Irritated, Chi Yan told her not to follow him.
Feeling dejected, Xiao Xiu confided in Uncle Fu, complaining about Chi Yan's uncommunicative nature. Uncle Fu suggested that her concern for Chi Yan now surpassed mere gratitude, signifying they were friends. Later, at the brewery, Lin Mo's charm attracted many female customers, but he discreetly deleted all their contact information. Xiao Xiu, drinking alone, happily declared that she and Chi Yan were friends, even imagining herself growing cat ears.
When Chi Yan appeared, she excitedly tried to initiate a "friendship ritual" by rubbing against him. Chi Yan gently stopped her, proposing a pinkie swear instead. He asked her to promise never to drink alone again, as it was dangerous. In return, Xiao Xiu made Chi Yan promise to be happy every day and to share any worries with her instead of keeping them to himself. Earlier, Xiao Xiu had dinner at He Meng's place.
He Meng expressed understanding for Chi Yan's reluctance to turn his bookstore into an internet-famous spot, suggesting his current quiet state might be what suited him best. She also mused that Chi Yan might have subtly drawn closer to Xiao Xiu, despite his difficulty in expressing such feelings. He Meng then gave Xiao Xiu a yellow rose, indicating that Xiao Xiu was undoubtedly a very important friend to Chi Yan.
The next day, Xu Zihao visited Chi Yan at the bookstore, wondering if Xiao Xiu had some leverage over Chi Yan, given he allowed her to stay. He even jokingly referred to her as a 'beast' after noticing carved pillars in the bookstore. He then asked Chi Yan about Qin Mingming's hobbies, hoping to gain insight, but Chi Yan, known for being reserved, didn't know much about his high school classmate.
Xu Zihao then proposed a dinner with himself, Qin Mingming, and Chi Yan. Chi Yan declined to help. Just then, Xiao Xiu returned, and upon hearing about dinner, enthusiastically agreed to go with Xu Zihao. Suddenly, Chi Yan received a phone call, learning of his former teacher, Mr. Yu's passing. The memorial service was scheduled for that afternoon. Chi Yan decided to attend and instructed Xiao Xiu to mind the bookstore in his absence.
Meanwhile, Qin Mingming was packing to return to her hometown to be a bridesmaid for a friend. As she packed, she discovered her old diary and a hidden photo of Chi Yan from their high school days. Unbeknownst to Chi Yan and Xu Zihao, Xiao Xiu, in her cat form, sneaked into their car as they were leaving.
When she transformed back into her human form, she realized she hadn't brought any clothes and had to rummage through Chi Yan's luggage for something to wear. Xu Zihao returned to the car and was startled to find a naked Xiao Xiu. He quickly exited the car, urging her to put on clothes. He questioned her behavior, jokingly calling her an "alien" or "psycho," and again wondered if she had some secret hold over Chi Yan. Xiao Xiu denied it.
