> Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me Recap
Jiang Chenchuan approached An Chuxia, reminding her that the exam was nearing and he would keep an eye on her studies. He then asked her if she knew about the Campus Beauty Contest. An Chuxia, focused entirely on her academics, dismissed the idea, stating the contest was meant for beauties and she had no desire to be a joke. Jiang Chenchuan insisted, even mentioning that Ming Yue and Cai Xia were participating.
When Ming Yue and Cai Xia overheard him, they confronted him, asking what he meant by "even the two of us." Jiang Chenchuan quickly clarified that he simply meant they were all good friends and should go together. An Chuxia playfully intervened when the girls grabbed Jiang Chenchuan, teasing him about his hand and his "naughty" behavior.
Jiang Chenchuan then got serious, pressing An Chuxia to join the contest to demoralize Mo Xinwei, who had also entered, and prevent her from becoming arrogant. An Chuxia, annoyed, criticized him for providing poorly copied formulas full of different colors, stating she asked for a formula, not a text. Jiang Chenchuan then offered a deal: if An Chuxia agreed to join the Campus Beauty Contest, he would work hard on his studies.
An Chuxia accepted, reasoning that the consequences of entering the contest would be better than facing punishment from Ma Jianguo. Jiang Chenchuan expressed his approval of her logical thinking, before playfully telling her to go back and rewrite her assignments 100 times without any help. He then playfully invited her to the restroom.
Following An Chuxia's agreement, the students of Class B became intensely focused on their studies, with some even discussing advanced mathematical concepts and English phrases, showing their dedication. When the long-awaited exam results were announced, the Class B students were ecstatic. They discovered An Chuxia had scored first place in the entire school, thrilling them. Meanwhile, Han Qilu and Ling Hanyu seemed indifferent to the results.
Mo Xinwei, however, was shocked to learn that Class B had secured the top spot in the school. While she acknowledged their school-wide victory, she quickly pointed out that Class B did not rank first in the entire city.
Her mood brightened slightly when she saw that Han Qilu and Ling Hanyu had both scored zero on their tests, which she viewed as the "only good news" because it meant An Chuxia had not achieved the city-wide first place as stipulated in her bet. In the infirmary, Ma Li Ya spoke with Ma Jianguo about An Chuxia's bet, noting that despite An Chuxia's loss, Ma Jianguo didn't seem happy.
Ma Li Ya suggested that Ma Jianguo appeared to dislike An Chuxia, unlike herself and Teacher You Tian. Ma Jianguo expressed his dissatisfaction with An Chuxia's willful and unruly nature, claiming she challenged authority and didn't act like a student.
Ma Li Ya subtly challenged his view, implying that perhaps she and Teacher You Tian were not competent enough to understand what a "likeable" student should be, before Ma Jianguo listed traits like obedience, sensibility, good study habits, unity, and respect for teachers. Ma Li Ya then used a metaphor about a "common wall" needing something special to improve its overall style, indirectly pleading An Chuxia's case.
Ma Jianguo understood her intention, though he initially felt the drawing didn't fit the wall and asked if You Tian had drawn it, before ultimately allowing her to leave it there. Elsewhere, Han Qilu and Ling Hanyu discussed their zero scores. Ling Hanyu confessed that he intentionally scored zero to protect An Chuxia.
Han Qilu offered a humorous excuse about his mother telling him not to be too perfect and to give way to others, also claiming that all marks were the same if he couldn't get a perfect score. However, under Ling Hanyu's persistent questioning, Han Qilu admitted his true motivation was also to prevent An Chuxia from being expelled, acknowledging Ling Hanyu's wish for her to stay.
Ling Hanyu warned him not to do it again, but Han Qilu reminded him that Class B hadn't achieved city-wide first place, meaning An Chuxia still faced consequences with Ma Jianguo. Ling Hanyu reiterated his commitment to protecting her and offered his help. An Chuxia then went to Ma Jianguo's office, ready to accept the consequences of losing her bet.
However, the entire Class B unexpectedly burst into the office, passionately pleading with Ma Jianguo not to expel An Chuxia, emphasizing their hard-won academic improvement and threatening to leave the school if she was dismissed. Ma Jianguo, irritated, tried to dismiss them. Meng Xiaonan, upon arrival, jokingly remarked that An Chuxia was "not pretty and got small boobs," prompting Jiang Chenchuan to quickly escort her out. As the other students left, they promised to wait outside for An Chuxia.
Ma Jianguo then spoke to An Chuxia, expressing his happiness at seeing his students improve and admitting that his initial worries about her spoiling his students were unfounded. As punishment, Ma Jianguo appointed An Chuxia as the new monitor of Class B, tasking her with uniting the previously uncooperative students. An Chuxia readily accepted the responsibility. Emerging from Ma Jianguo's office, An Chuxia found Han Qilu, Ling Hanyu, and Jiang Chenchuan waiting for her.
Han Qilu declared that An Chuxia was "his people" and Ma Jianguo couldn't expel her without his permission. Jiang Chenchuan, in turn, asked how much it would cost to "redeem" An Chuxia, which An Chuxia quickly told him to stop, asserting her dignity. Before their banter could escalate, Meng Xiaonan rushed over with a letter for An Chuxia, causing the three boys to scatter and leave, much to An Chuxia's relief.
Meng Xiaonan was slightly confused as to why An Chuxia said she "got rid of them" but accepted it as a part of their friendship. An Chuxia read the letter, which was from their former teacher, You Tian. He expressed his continued concern for Class B, inquired about their exam results, and specifically asked about the well-being of Wang Jian Ren, Ming Yue, and Cai Xia.
He shared that he was currently studying at a good Academy of Fine Arts, having transitioned from teacher to student, and spoke about the vastness of the world he was experiencing. You Tian concluded by saying he missed them all and encouraged An Chuxia, emphasizing that many challenges awaited them and they should continue fighting together when he returned from his studies. An Chuxia was deeply moved by his words.
Back in the classroom, the entire Class B erupted in applause, welcoming An Chuxia as their new monitor, a gesture that touched her greatly. Later, on the sports field, Han Qilu and Ling Hanyu were playing basketball, attracting a large crowd of admiring female students. Han Qilu eventually stopped, expressing his annoyance at being gawked at like an exhibit.
Mo Xinwei, spotting An Chuxia in the crowd, approached her and directly provoked her, stating she simply didn't like her and enjoyed seeing An Chuxia hate her without being able to eliminate her. An Chuxia, exasperated, muttered that Mo Xinwei was a "witch" in frustration. Witnessing the confrontation, Meng Xiaonan rushed to tell Jiang Chenchuan that Mo Xinwei was "messing with" them again. When Jiang Chenchuan questioned why she had left An Chuxia alone, Meng Xiaonan explained that An Chuxia had asked her to leave. Jiang Chenchuan immediately ran towards the basketball court.
