Time and Him are Just Right Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Early morning, sunlight shone into the classroom of Chunhui Middle School, and a bouquet of flowers was placed on the desk. Lin Xi, wearing a wedding dress, picked up the flowers, turned around, and saw Jiang Yimian hanging up the banner slogan "Three Years of Hard Work, a Lifetime of Happiness" on the blackboard. Still wondering why the groom hadn't arrived, Lin Xi only noticed Ji Junxing and the groomsmen walking in from the doorway at Jiang Yimian's signal.
Just then, the few of them were spotted by the security guard, so they held hands and ran away together. Eight years ago, Lin Xi, who was still a high school student, saw Ji Junxing locking his bike while holding a photo of him. Lin Xi couldn't help but step forward and hug Ji Junxing. Ji Junxing quickly pushed Lin Xi away and said he didn't know her.
In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 11, Teacher Sun introduced the new transfer student Lin Xi. When arranging seats, the teacher saw there were no other empty seats for the time being, so he arranged for Lin Xi to share a desk with Ji Junxing. After class, Ji Junxing took Lin Xi to collect her school uniform and textbooks. When the class bell rang, the two hurried to the classroom but were still late.
Returning to the classroom, after the two finished answering the questions on the blackboard, Director Xie told them to stand outside the door to reflect. Suddenly, Lin Xi lost her balance and fell, not only pulling down Ji Junxing but also tearing his clothes crookedly. Lin Xi quickly apologized, and Ji Junxing hoped Lin Xi would stop bothering him.
Lin Xi didn't want to give up on being friends with Ji Junxing, so she asked Ji Junxing to set conditions, and if she couldn't meet them, she would stop bothering him. Ji Junxing took the opportunity to propose three conditions, hoping Lin Xi would retreat in the face of difficulty. During the break, Ji Junxing and his friend Xie Ang heard exclamations from other students.
Upon closer inspection, they found that Lin Xi was down stairs making leaves fly upwards with balloons. Lin Xi indicated to Ji Junxing that she had met the first requirement. Then Lin Xi pulled Ji Junxing to the sports equipment room and turned off the lights. When Ji Junxing opened his eyes again, he saw crystals in a bottle sparkling like stars in the dark. Ji Junxing reluctantly agreed that the second requirement was completed.
In the third class period in the afternoon, the school organized a school-wide clean-up to welcome the leaders. Lin Xi came to the corridor to ask Ji Junxing if she could change the third condition. On the other side, Jiang Yimian was reading an extracurricular book. Xie Ang reminded her to throw away the trash and also exposed her lie. Jiang Yimian was so angry that she chased Xie Ang with a broom.
Downstairs, Director Xie was introducing the school's excellent quality education for students to the leaders. In the corridor, Lin Xi was about to help Ji Junxing hang the banner when Xie Ang, who was running over, slipped and bumped into the two. The banner fell downstairs and landed right on Director Xie's head. When Director Xie took off the banner, he accidentally knocked off his wig. Returning to the classroom, Director Xie scolded the students because of the banner incident.
Ji Junxing and Lin Xi stood up one after another to admit their mistakes. Director Xie then made them stand in the corridor holding the banner and go to the broadcasting room to read a self-criticism after school. Although Lin Xi was punished, she felt very happy, believing that she could become friends with Ji Junxing after completing the three requirements.
Ji Junxing learned about the rumors on campus and angrily announced during the broadcast that he had no relationship with Lin Xi. Lin Xi felt very disappointed upon hearing this, but she still expressed her apology for the trouble she caused Ji Junxing through the broadcast, as well as the many things she wanted to do with him in the future. In the evening, Ji Junxing rode his bike home.
Upon opening the door, he was surprised to find Lin Xi was actually at his home. During dinner, Ji Junxing's mother, Auntie Wen, warmly asked Lin Xi about how she was adapting to school and told Lin Xi to feel at ease staying there for this semester. Ji Junxing pulled his mother aside to ask her. Lin Xi listened to their conversation, recalling her mother and father's talk when she was at home.
Returning to her room, after seeing off Auntie Wen who came to bring fruit, Lin Xi quickly took out the small fox doll and a small notebook her brother gave her from her bag. She placed the small fox on the table and wrote down her feelings for the day and what she wanted to say to her brother in the notebook.
Episode 2 Recap
At night, Ji Junxing was drying his hair in the bathroom, when Lin Xi directly opened the bathroom door. Both were startled. Lin Xi quickly apologized and ran to the kitchen to drink water. Ji Junxing hurriedly got dressed and walked back to his room. As he passed the kitchen, Lin Xi even noticed he was wearing his clothes inside out. At night, Ji Junxing dreamt that Lin Xi kept mentioning wanting to be friends with him.
He woke up startled and went to the kitchen to drink water. Looking in the mirror, he surprisingly saw someone squatting next to the cabinet. Ji Junxing turned around and turned on the light, only to find it was Lin Xi. Lin Xi explained that she came downstairs to drink water and hid because she didn't want to disturb him. Ji Junxing didn't know how to retort, so he angrily grabbed the ketchup, turned around, and left.
The sound of him forcefully closing the door also startled Lin Xi. Lin Xi returned to her room, thought about the trouble she had caused Ji Junxing that day, and felt very remorseful. The next day when they went out, Lin Xi had just sat on the back seat of the bike when Ji Junxing reminded her that their living together needed to be kept secret.
Ji Junxing left Lin Xi behind and rode away, telling her before leaving that she could take bus route 14 to get to school. As soon as Lin Xi arrived at the school gate, she saw Liu Yin asking Ji Junxing an English question. Lin Xi watched them thoughtfully. When Lin Xi returned to the classroom and sat back down, she saw Liu Yin actually rolling her eyes at her.
During class, Teacher Sun told everyone that they needed to perform a short play for the English public lesson and handed the script to Ji Junxing to be in charge. After class, the few people who had volunteered started assigning roles after reading the script.
When Liu Yin saw that Ji Junxing was playing the role of the white blood cell, she wanted to play the red blood cell, but under Lin Xi's suggestion and the voting results of the others, Xie Ang ultimately took on the role of the red blood cell. After school that evening, other students left the classroom one after another. Liu Yin told Lin Xi that she needed to train on the east side of the sports field tonight.
Although Lin Xi was suspicious, she still took the script and went to the sports field to wait. At home, Auntie Wen returned with a late-night snack but found that Lin Xi was not home and her phone was still in her room. Amidst Auntie Wen's worried words, Ji Junxing got on his bike and headed to school. On the other side, Lin Xi was practicing her lines under the street lamp, but she heard a strange sound.
Then, she was actually pulled behind a bush. Qin Kai told Lin Xi that he had just returned to school after climbing over the wall to go online, which was why he was being pursued by the security guard. Not wanting to be caught and punished, the two had no choice but to run away together. After running for a long time, they were finally safe. Qin Kai then arranged to meet Lin Xi again next time and said goodbye.
Lin Xi walked out of the school gate and happened to see Ji Junxing, so she left with him. Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi why she hadn't gone home so late. Lin Xi was eager to explain to him. As they spoke, Lin Xi actually heard Ji Junxing say words that were exactly the same as what her brother had said before, making her extremely emotional. The next day, Ji Junxing saw Lin Xi staring intently at Liu Yin.
It turned out Lin Xi was planning to use two pranks to warn Liu Yin that she was not someone to be easily bullied. In the corridor, Xie Ang was reciting the red blood cell's lines, but he kept forgetting them. Under immense pressure, he actually tore off the script paper and put it into his mouth. Lin Xi silently watched Xie Ang's actions from the side.
On the day of the English public lesson, the white blood cell played by Ji Junxing and the Streptococcus pneumoniae played by Jiang Yimian were in a fierce battle. Just when the red blood cell played by Xie Ang was supposed to enter, he couldn't go on stage because of a stomach ache.
In a critical situation, Lin Xi changed into the red blood cell costume and made a dazzling appearance, teaming up with Ji Junxing to perfectly complete the short play. After school, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi why she remembered the red blood cell's lines. Lin Xi said that she had originally planned to memorize them to remind Xie Ang, and unexpectedly it was a big help. Ji Junxing expressed his gratitude to her.
Lin Xi took the opportunity to ask him to treat her to bubble tea. Lin Xi was satisfied when she got two drinks, but then discovered they were sugar-free oolong tea and plain milk tea. Lin Xi was unhappy, but Ji Junxing ignored her and walked away pushing his bike. Just as Lin Xi was about to chase after him, she tripped over a stone and accidentally pulled off Ji Junxing's pants.
Episode 3 Recap
Back home, Ji Junxing angrily stuffed the cartoon underwear from the drawer into a plastic bag, intending to throw them away. However, he suddenly saw two pairs of underwear hanging outside Lin Xi's room's balcony and wanted to open the window to take them. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi suddenly appeared from behind at this moment, scaring Ji Junxing into falling and spraining his ankle. Lin Xi accompanied Ji Junxing to the hospital and sat outside the consultation room waiting.
When Ji Junxing walked out, Lin Xi immediately apologized to him, saying it was her responsibility. Hearing her words, Ji Junxing lied to her, saying his ankle injury was very serious and required good recovery. From that day on, whether at home or school, Lin Xi ran up and down all day just to compensate Ji Junxing. One day after class, Xie Ang informed the whole class that they needed to perform community volunteer work in groups.
Lin Xi privately approached Xie Ang and proposed that she wanted to be in a group with Ji Junxing, and Xie Ang gladly agreed. On the sports field, Lin Xi was lying in the center of the football field resting. Just then, Qin Kai walked over and showed Lin Xi the three gold medals he had won in a competition two days prior.
He asked Lin Xi why she was so troubled, and Lin Xi tearfully told him she had to go to Kaixin Fang to scrape off small advertisements. Qin Kai nodded thoughtfully. The next day, the four of them arrived at Kaixin Fang. Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang saw the walls full of small advertisements and were so scared they immediately ran away. Because of Ji Junxing's leg injury, Lin Xi voluntarily took on most of the labor tasks.
Midway, Ji Junxing saw that Lin Xi was slow and didn't grasp the knack, so he personally showed her that using a spray bottle was quicker. At noon, the four ate and rested together. Jiang Yimian inadvertently saw a missing cat poster. It turned out an old grandmother had lost her cat, Mimi, which she had relied on for many years. Seeing the grandmother's sad appearance, the four decided to look for Mimi first.
The four searched for a long time and finally found that Mimi had run up a tree and couldn't get down. Lin Xi saw Xie Ang's scared look and volunteered herself. The three worriedly tried to dissuade her. While comforting them, she quickly climbed up the tree and rescued the kitten. Ji Junxing looked at Lin Xi holding the cat and couldn't help but smile.
After returning Mimi to the grandmother, Ji Junxing noticed that Lin Xi's hand was injured on the back. So on the way home, Ji Junxing pulled Lin Xi to a nearby bench, took out medicine from his backpack, and applied it for her. At this point, Ji Junxing said he had originally wanted Lin Xi to use a sausage to lure the cat.
But Lin Xi said the cat was old and might have wanted to say goodbye to its owner, so it might not have come down the tree. Ji Junxing thought this statement was unscientific, and the two parted ways unhappily. Back home, Ji Junxing researched and found that Lin Xi's statement had a basis, so he apologized to her at her door.
Not hearing a response, Ji Junxing pushed the door open and found Lin Xi had fallen asleep on the desk. Ji Junxing looked at her sleeping face, gently covered her with a blanket, then took out the scraper from his bag and went to Kaixin Fang overnight to scrape off the small advertisements.
On the other side, after finishing their late-night snack, Qin Kai took his friends to Kaixin Fang to help Lin Xi, only to find that there were only a few small advertisements left. Since they were already there, a few of them picked up brooms and started cleaning the street. The next day, the two came to Kaixin Fang. Lin Xi found that there were only a few small advertisements left and found it hard to believe.
Just then, an uncle openly pasted a small advertisement right in front of them. Lin Xi couldn't help but step forward to argue with him, and the two kept quarreling. The uncle was so angry that he was about to lay a hand on Lin Xi, so Ji Junxing quickly pulled Lin Xi and ran away.
After the two got away from the uncle and stopped, Lin Xi realized that Ji Junxing had been lying to her these past few days. Lin Xi felt that not only was he joking about his health, but he was also taking advantage of her concern for him. Ji Junxing stated that his physical condition had nothing to do with Lin Xi and was not worth her getting angry about.
Lin Xi was furious, kicked Ji Junxing once behind her, and turned to leave. At night, Lin Xi lay on the bed looking at the little fox, remembering what her brother had said to her, and a plan came to her mind again.
Episode 4 Recap
In the morning, Ji Junxing rubbed his eyes and walked out of his room, but saw that Lin Xi was not in her room. After arriving in the kitchen, Wen Ayi told him that Lin Xi had already gone to school early. In the hallway, Lin Xi told Jiang Yimian that she was going to change tactics and ignore Ji Junxing for a while.
In the following few days, Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang clearly felt the strange atmosphere between the two. Xie Ang told Ji Junxing to coax Lin Xi, but Ji Junxing proudly stated that he didn't care at all. After class, Xie Ang informed everyone that the school would organize the 15th basketball game. Lin Xi was very interested in it, so Xie Ang gave the task of signing up to Lin Xi.
Seeing that no one had signed up, Lin Xi brought small gifts to encourage everyone to participate in the basketball game. In the hurdles competition, Qin Kai was the first to cross the finish line. Seeing him drink the water she handed him, Lin Xi proposed asking him to be a foreign aid player for her class.
On the other side, Ji Junxing rode his bike home and couldn't help but go to a milk tea shop to buy a cup of milk tea for Lin Xi. Lin Xi told Qin Kai about her class's situation. Qin Kai could only refuse Lin Xi because of the team's and class's honor. Ji Junxing was waiting for Lin Xi on a bench by the roadside with the milk tea.
However, he saw her walking and chatting happily with Qin Kai. Ji Junxing was so angry that he threw the milk tea into the trash can and strode away. The next day, Lin Xi came to the class, but found that there were only a few people in the classroom. At this moment, Jiang Yimian ran in excitedly and told Lin Xi that the basketball team had been formed.
Jiang Yimian pulled Lin Xi to the basketball court to watch them practice. Lin Xi was surprised to find that Ji Junxing was also among them. Suddenly, several arts and sports students asked the players from Class 1 to leave. The players were not convinced, so Qin Kai had a one-on-one challenge with Ji Junxing. Both of them scored five consecutive baskets, making it difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while.
The class bell rang, and Ji Junxing and his group gave the court to them. On the way back to the classroom, Lin Xi was worried about Ji Junxing's physical condition and told him to be sure to tell her if anything was wrong. Ji Junxing found it inexplicable. Back in the classroom, the students cheered and encouraged the basketball players.
Just then, Teacher Sun walked into the classroom and stated that getting into college was the main priority, announcing that their class would not participate in this basketball game. Everyone was very disappointed. After class, the arts and sports students mocked Class 1 for having poor basketball skills in the water room. Xie Ang was so angry that he stared straight at them.
Not long after, Jiang Yimian and Lin Xi, who were in the classroom, heard the news that people from the two classes were fighting. In the office, Director Xie was scolding Xie Ang. It was only after Ji Junxing's explanation that they understood the fight was a misunderstanding and an accident. Director Xie asked the two involved parties to hug each other, considering the matter concluded. Two teachers hurried into the office.
Director Xie told them to take the students from their respective classes away. At this moment, Ji Junxing suddenly called out to Teacher Sun, stating that it was unfair for Teacher Sun to cancel the class's qualification to participate. Teacher Sun felt that playing basketball was not beneficial for the college entrance examination.
Ji Junxing countered her, saying that college is not the end of life and that they should not lose the most beautiful scenery of life because of this. Lin Xi, who was watching from outside the door, also couldn't help but walk in to persuade Teacher Sun. After several people's strenuous efforts, Teacher Sun finally nodded and told everyone to play well in the game. The few students from the class finally left the office with smiles on their faces.
Lin Xi saw Ji Junxing practicing basketball outside the court and vaguely saw the appearance of her brother. She walked onto the court. Ji Junxing told her that if they won the basketball game, he would become friends with Lin Xi. Lin Xi excitedly wanted to take out her phone to record it. Ji Junxing told her to leave quickly, while he continued practicing.
In the basketball qualifying matches, the players from Class 1 worked together, clearing all obstacles along the way to reach the finals. When the game started, Lin Xi led the cheerleading team to cheer for Class 1. The scores of the two classes kept increasing, and for a while, it was difficult to tell them apart. Suddenly, a player from Class 1 sprained his ankle and had to leave the court for treatment in the infirmary.
But Class 1 had no substitute players, and there was less than a minute left in the game. Qin Kai suggested that Class 1 should give up the game because of insufficient players. At this moment, Lin Xi stepped forward and said that she would play. Lin Xi ran back and forth on the court. When she got the ball, there were only over twenty seconds left in the game.
She recalled the basketball techniques her brother taught her, then confused her opponents and shot the ball towards the hoop. The ball went in! The teachers and students from Class 1 were very excited.
Episode 5 Recap
In front of the stewed and grilled meat restaurant at the east gate, Lin Xi, Jiang Yimian, and a few members of the basketball team celebrated their class winning second place in the basketball game. In the evening, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Lin Xi suggested reciting poetry under the moon and forming a study group. From then on, the East Gate Squad was officially established.
After everyone left, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing went to a milk tea shop for milk tea. Suddenly, it started raining heavily, so the two had to ask the boss if he had umbrellas. The boss said there was only one raincoat left. So the two put on the raincoat, and Ji Junxing carried Lin Xi, hurrying home with a smile.
Back home, the two stood side by side in front of the bathroom mirror and blew their hair dry together. They also sat together at the dinner table drinking ginger soup. In her room, while writing in her diary, Lin Xi thought that Ji Junxing didn't have many friends and decided to help him make some. At the school gate, Lin Xi saw a girl wearing a white ballet outfit call out to Ji Junxing.
She told him that she was here to sign up for the school anniversary host position and handed him a book she had bought for him abroad. Lin Xi came to her seat and saw Ji Junxing reading. She then teased him, saying he was suitable to be friends with Song Linxue. Ji Junxing said they were just acquaintances. Knowing that Song Linxue was signing up to host the school anniversary, Lin Xi urged Ji Junxing to sign up too.
Ji Junxing refused. Lin Xi, who was nearby, couldn't help but laugh when she thought of something. Lin Xi went to Jiang Yimian to get the host application form to sign up Ji Junxing. She wanted Ji Junxing and Song Linxue to become friends. Jiang Yimian didn't understand. Lin Xi told her that her brother had donated his heart to Ji Junxing after his car accident, so she treated Ji Junxing like her brother.
Only then did Jiang Yimian understand Lin Xi's actions, so she gladly agreed to Lin Xi's request. Lin Xi said goodbye to Jiang Yimian and went to the sports field to find Qin Kai. The two sat in front of the milk tea shop. Lin Xi asked Qin Kai for information about Song Linxue. Just then, Qin Kai received a text message from his father's secretary and looked very disappointed. It turned out today was Qin Kai's birthday.
At night, Qin Kai was waiting for Lin Xi by the roadside. He heard a shout, turned around, and saw Lin Xi walking towards him with a birthday cake while singing the birthday song. Qin Kai blew out the candles. Lin Xi sincerely wished him a happy birthday. Qin Kai looked at the cake and Lin Xi and smiled happily. At home, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi why she was back late.
Lin Xi said she went to find Qin Kai to get information about Song Linxue. Ji Junxing wasn't interested in Song Linxue's matter. Lin Xi then told him that she had already signed him up. When she saw the list of host candidates, Lin Xi realized that Qin Kai had also signed himself and her up.
Jiang Yimian told the three that they needed to record a video with their partner and upload it to the school website for public selection. Only those with the most votes would be elected. Lin Xi didn't have much hope for her partnership with Qin Kai. When she learned that Song Linxue was abroad and couldn't rehearse, she planned to help Ji Junxing rehearse.
Early on Saturday morning, Lin Xi passionately read the hosting script in the living room, even waking up Ji Junxing who was sleeping upstairs. Ji Junxing took Lin Xi to a bookstore to find inspiration, but Lin Xi looked all afternoon without any ideas. Ji Junxing casually recited many transitional phrases. Lin Xi praised him loudly, but Ji Junxing felt that programming was more interesting.
Listening to Ji Junxing explain programming with overflowing passion, Lin Xi couldn't help but stare in a daze. At night, while writing the transitional phrases for the hosting script, Lin Xi remembered what Ji Junxing had said and wrote down her inner voice. The next day, she excitedly showed Ji Junxing the hosting script she had written, but Ji Junxing told her that he had already recorded the video with Song Linxue remotely.
On campus, Jiang Yimian told Lin Xi that her and Qin Kai's votes had been far ahead since the video was posted. Lin Xi found Qin Kai and discovered that the arts and sports students had secretly logged into accounts to vote for the two of them. Lin Xi and Qin Kai proactively found Director Xie and expressed their willingness to be disqualified.
Director Xie then arranged for the two of them to work in logistics at the school anniversary event. The school anniversary gala officially began, with Song Linxue and Ji Junxing as hosts. Just as he was giving the opening remarks, Ji Junxing unexpectedly changed the original script to the content written by Lin Xi. Lin Xi was startled. Looking at the two people standing under the lights on the stage, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Episode 6 Recap
At night, Qin Kai and a few friends discussed the surprise for Lin Xi and split up. After the school anniversary gala successfully ended, students gradually walked out of the venue. Just then, all the lights in the venue were suddenly turned off, and a few strong beams of light from the nearby rooftop shone on Lin Xi.
Qin Kai walked over from the side; he noticed that Lin Xi had been a bit disappointed backstage earlier, so he came up with this idea. Qin Kai poured out his feelings to Lin Xi. Just as he was getting to the crucial part, Director Xie's voice suddenly came through. The students quickly left, Lin Xi and Qin Kai were separated by the crowd, and Ji Junxing took the opportunity to pull Lin Xi away.
The next day, Director Xie broadcast a criticism of Qin Kai. Lin Xi went to the sports field intending to comfort him. Qin Kai thoughtfully told Lin Xi not to worry and just treat him the same as always. Lin Xi told Jiang Yimian about this. Jiang Yimian saw that their relationship had returned to normal and told Lin Xi that the school was making a promotional brochure and needed to photograph and interview representatives from various fields.
Because time was tight, Jiang Yimian asked Lin Xi to help interview Qin Kai and Ji Junxing. Seeing her look of urgency, Lin Xi agreed. Afterward, Lin Xi prepared the interview outline and brought Qin Kai and Ji Junxing together for the interview. Unexpectedly, during the interview, Qin Kai and Ji Junxing were secretly competing and almost got into an argument.
Ji Junxing thought the interview was inefficient, took the interview outline, and decided to write it himself, while Lin Xi continued to interview Qin Kai. At night, Lin Xi sent the interview results to Jiang Yimian, who immediately called. She first praised Lin Xi, then said she had to go to the library to study and needed Lin Xi to trouble herself to take photos of Ji Junxing and Song Linxue.
Jiang Yimian also suggested that Lin Xi could go play in the nearby escape room after taking the photos, so Lin Xi reluctantly agreed. In the morning, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing left together. On the bus, Lin Xi was worried about the camera's multiple parameters. Ji Junxing explained each parameter to Lin Xi in detail and even took a sample photo of her.
In the bookstore, Lin Xi used the camera to take a group photo of the two of them. When Ji Junxing was taking a solo photo, Lin Xi saw his awkward posture and couldn't help but step forward to guide him. Ji Junxing looked at Lin Xi's chattering appearance and couldn't help but stare in a daze.
Qin Kai, who was waiting for training on the sports field, received a call from Lin Xi inviting him to the escape room and happily agreed, leaving quickly after training. The four arrived at the escape room, told the boss their requirements, and the boss divided them into two groups to enter the escape room via two different routes. Lin Xi and Qin Kai took the horror adventure route, while Ji Junxing and Song Linxue took the puzzle-solving route.
The four solved puzzles and explored on their respective routes. Mid-way, Ji Junxing and Song Linxue followed the instructions to a chemistry lab but unexpectedly ended up in a dead end. Ji Junxing felt around the wall, while Song Linxue pressed a button on the wall. Suddenly, the wall rotated, swapping Ji Junxing and Qin Kai. The four tried repeatedly on both sides of the wall but there was no change.
Qin Kai and Song Linxue decided to give up and leave the escape room. Ji Junxing learned he couldn't get back, so he pulled Lin Xi back into the escape room. Lin Xi initially wanted to give up and leave, but Ji Junxing's taunt made her stay and continue solving the puzzle. After searching for clues, they successfully deduced the answer. However, a nearby door suddenly closed at this moment, leaving the two to stay close together.
After discussing, they decided to trust each other and shouted the answer through the phone. The answer was correct, and the door opened immediately. The two were so scared they hugged each other. Lin Xi reacted and pushed Ji Junxing away, hurrying out. At night, Lin Xi was sitting on the sofa looking at the photos taken today when Ji Junxing pushed the door open and came in.
Lin Xi asked Ji Junxing to try the fried chicken Qin Kai had bought. Ji Junxing said the taste was ordinary. Lin Xi immediately pounced on Ji Junxing, asking him to return it.
Episode 7 Recap
The TV news reported that the first snow was coming. Lin Xi heard that if you make a wish during the first snow, it will come true. Ji Junxing saw Lin Xi's yearning look and couldn't help but shatter her fantasy. In the morning, the two opened the door to find a few members of the small group standing outside.
It turned out that Lin Xi had accidentally sent the photo of Ji Junxing entering the room last night to Jiang Yimian. The few people asked about their relationship, and Ji Junxing stated that they were just roommates. In the classroom, a broadcast announced that the class blackboard newspaper selection activity for New Year's Day would be held next Friday.
Song Linxue came to the classroom to find Lin Xi, and the two sat in front of a milk tea shop eating cake. Song Linxue came this time to ask Lin Xi to help her arrange to see a performance with Ji Junxing on New Year's Day. Lin Xi asked Song Linxue why she became friends with Ji Junxing.
It turned out that when Song Linxue was a child, she lost a dance competition and was sitting by the roadside crying. Ji Junxing, who was nearby, saw that Song Linxue was hungry and gave her the gummy bear from his pocket. Song Linxue always remembered the sweetness of the gummy bear, so she wanted to spend New Year's Day with Ji Junxing before going abroad.
At night, Lin Xi pushed the door open to her home and saw Ji Junxing sitting on the sofa reading a book, so she handed him the performance ticket. Lin Xi asked Ji Junxing why he refused Song Linxue. Ji Junxing told her that he couldn't help but fall asleep soundly when watching performances. In the classroom, Teacher Sun asked Ji Junxing to organize the blackboard newspaper evaluation, and Lin Xi volunteered to help Ji Junxing.
At the water cooler area, Lin Xi suggested to Ji Junxing that if their blackboard newspaper activity came first, he should go on the date, and Ji Junxing agreed. Lin Xi looked at the blackboard, momentarily unsure where to start. She turned around and ran out of the classroom, planning to go check on the progress of Qin Kai's class's blackboard newspaper.
Qin Kai originally wanted to stop Lin Xi from seeing it, but with Lin Xi's efforts, she still saw the exquisite painting on the blackboard newspaper. Looking at the excellent blackboard newspapers of other classes, she could only leave in disappointment. The next morning, Ji Junxing went downstairs but was told by Aunt Wen that Lin Xi had gone to the classroom early in the morning to draw the blackboard newspaper.
Ji Junxing ran into the classroom and found Lin Xi sleeping趴on her desk, exhausted. Ji Junxing quietly pulled up a chair, took away the book covering Lin Xi's face, leaned on the table, looked at her sleeping face, and smiled. In the chemistry equipment room, Ji Junxing was seriously doing an experiment, while Lin Xi was secretly looking at a blackboard newspaper design book under the table.
Suddenly, Lin Xi saw Ji Junxing fiddling with the experimental liquid and got an idea. Back in the classroom, Lin Xi used rare earth fluorescent powder to paint a small area on the blackboard and found that it really glowed, so she continued to paint with it. The two didn't finish the blackboard newspaper until night.
Lin Xi turned off the classroom lights, and the two looked at the glowing Mid-Autumn Festival scene on the blackboard newspaper and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The selection results came out, Class 1 got first place, but Qin Kai received a demerit because he damaged the class blackboard newspaper. At night, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi to go out together to buy New Year's Day gifts, and Lin Xi readily agreed, thinking of Song Linxue.
The two came to a boutique, and Lin Xi picked out a little bear hat according to her preference. Ji Junxing, although smiling secretly at her excited appearance, complained about Lin Xi's taste in his words. Lin Xi had no choice but to walk to the side disappointedly to wait for Ji Junxing. On New Year's Day, Ji Junxing invited Lin Xi to go out together.
Lin Xi told him that she had already arranged to eat hot pot with Jiang Yimian. Lin Xi pushed Ji Junxing out the door, then changed her clothes and went out. Song Linxue was waiting for Ji Junxing on the bridge. Ji Junxing handed flowers to Song Linxue and wished her a successful performance. Only then did Song Linxue tell Ji Junxing that she had lied. Ji Junxing turned to leave.
Song Linxue called out to him and asked if he remembered the gummy bear he gave her on New Year's Day eight years ago, saying that it was the courage for her to keep going. Ji Junxing said that Song Linxue was an important friend to him. Song Linxue understood what Ji Junxing meant and let him leave. Ji Junxing wished her a happy New Year's Day and left without looking back.
Song Linxue looked at Ji Junxing's retreating back and couldn't help but cry out loud. On the other side, Lin Xi had already ordered a large pile of food at the hot pot restaurant. She called Jiang Yimian only to find out that Xie Ang not only didn't save Jiang Yimian, but was also arranged by Jiang Yimian's mother for the two of them to do homework at home.
Lin Xi hung up the phone and looked at the wonderful atmosphere of other classmates celebrating the holiday in their WeChat Moments, feeling envious. Just as she was about to start eating, she looked out the window and saw that it had really started snowing. Lin Xi made a wish upon seeing the first snow and was about to toast the New Year and the first snow with a drink when Ji Junxing suddenly approached from behind and clinked glasses with Lin Xi.
Episode 8 Recap
In the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xi asked Ji Junxing why he wasn't watching the performance. Ji Junxing said that if they missed the first snow, it would be gone. Ji Junxing smiled as he looked at Lin Xi's dazed expression. He took out the little bear hat from his bag and helped Lin Xi put it on, then pulled her out to play in the snow.
Lin Xi couldn't help but ask Ji Junxing why he got tired after running just a few steps. Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that he had been looking for her. The two looked deeply into each other's eyes across the first snow. In the emergency room, Lin Xi was lying on the hospital bed getting an IV drip due to a high fever. Seeing her coughing, Ji Junxing took off his coat and covered her with it.
The next day, Lin Xi woke up and found herself lying on her bed at home. She went to the living room and told Ji Junxing that she had recovered. With Ji Junxing's hint, Lin Xi only then realized that Aunt Wen had brought them back last night and that she had slept holding Ji Junxing's hand all night. After the two persuaded Aunt Wen to go out to work, Lin Xi took water and medicine to Ji Junxing's room.
Looking at the sleeping Ji Junxing, she couldn't help but lie in his arms and listen to his heartbeat. When Ji Junxing woke up and discovered her, she quickly left. Ji Junxing couldn't help but smile looking at Lin Xi's flustered back. Back in the classroom, the few members of the small group were very excited to see them return.
They also organized the notes and homework they had missed over the past few days and gave them to Lin Xi. After hearing from Jiang Yimian that the final exam might be beyond the scope, Lin Xi was very worried. It turned out that Lin Xi and her mother had agreed that she could only go home if she did well on the exam.
After careful consideration, Jiang Yimian called the few members of the small group together to help Lin Xi review and fill in the gaps. The few gathered together to review. At this time, Xie Ang suggested that whoever's single subject tutoring resulted in the lowest score would treat everyone to hot pot, and everyone agreed. So, the few began tutoring Lin Xi individually.
However, Lin Xi's confidence decreased after reviewing, so she quickly pulled Ji Junxing and asked him to tutor her. The monthly exam results were about to be announced. Ji Junxing learned the results from Teacher Sun in advance and ran to tell everyone. Lin Xi was very happy to learn that she got second place in the class.
Comparing the scores, it was found that Lin Xi's math score was the lowest among the single subjects, so Xie Ang had to treat everyone. Xie Ang took them to the East Gate to eat Malatang, and everyone congratulated Lin Xi together. At the dinner table, Xie Ang asked about everyone's holiday plans. Only then did Ji Junxing learn that Lin Xi was going back to her hometown tomorrow. Ji Junxing looked at Lin Xi with a look of reluctance.
After eating their fill, the two walked home together. Ji Junxing saw that Lin Xi also wanted to digest her food and wasn't going home yet, so he pulled her to the water's edge, wanting to teach Lin Xi how to skip stones. Lin Xi didn't take it seriously, so the two started a skipping stones competition. Who knew that when Lin Xi threw the stone at the end, she accidentally threw her phone into the water with it.
Lin Xi was startled when she realized what had happened. Seeing Ji Junxing gloating next to her, she chased after him to hit him. On the bus, Ji Junxing was afraid that Lin Xi wouldn't remember his phone number, so he asked her to tell him the number. However, Lin Xi misunderstood what Ji Junxing meant and opened her arms to hug him.
Ji Junxing took the opportunity to embrace Lin Xi and told her to take good care of herself. When the two arrived in front of their home, they saw Song Linxue waiting for Ji Junxing. Lin Xi went into the house, while Song Linxue and Ji Junxing walked to the side to chat.
Song Linxue learned about the complicated relationship between the two through her father, so she came to tell Ji Junxing that Lin Xi's older brother had donated his heart to his younger brother. Ji Junxing was very shocked. Recalling Lin Xi's words and actions all this time, he suddenly understood. Song Linxue asked Ji Junxing if he was doing it out of gratitude. Ji Junxing, saving face, agreed and even said that he hated Lin Xi.
Lin Xi, who had come out to throw away the trash, heard Ji Junxing's words and left in disappointment. At night, Ji Junxing tossed and turned in bed. Lin Xi was very sad as she recalled what Ji Junxing had said in her room. Early the next morning, Ji Junxing knocked on Lin Xi's door but found that she had already disappeared.
Aunt Wen told him that Lin Xi had just left, so Ji Junxing quickly ran out of the house towards the station. At the station, Lin Xi put away her luggage and sat on the bus. Leaning against the window, she thought of what Ji Junxing had said and couldn to help but sigh. Ji Junxing rushed to the station, but although he searched carefully for traces of Lin Xi, he still missed her.
Episode 9 Recap
Lin Xi returned home and found her parents busy in the kitchen, so she hugged her mother from behind and expressed her longing for both of them. During dinner, her father saw Lin Xi's report card and was very proud. Afterward, her father asked about Ji Junxing, Lin Xi was vague and quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice before running upstairs.
At night, Lin Xi got the new phone her mother bought for her and found the message Ji Junxing sent, but because she was in a bad mood, she decided to ignore him. Xie Ang called Ji Junxing and told him that his father had arranged for him to attend a lecture during the holiday. Fortunately, he met Jiang Yimian, but Jiang Yimian was busy talking on the phone with Lin Xi.
Only then did Ji Junxing know that Lin Xi had bought a new phone. Just as Ji Junxing wanted to talk to Lin Xi through Jiang Yimian, Lin Xi suddenly hung up the phone. When the lecture started, the boy wearing a hat heard Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang talking continuously at the back table and couldn't help but turn back to scold them, but he was called up by the professor to answer a question.
After the lecture ended, the boy and a few of his classmates wanted to teach Xie Ang a lesson in the restroom. Just then, Jiang Yimian walked in, pushed the boy away, and pulled Xie Ang to escape. Several people chased after the two. Just as they were about to hit Xie Ang, Ji Junxing appeared, and the group started fighting. Jiang Yimian quickly grabbed a large cola from the side and joined the fight.
After everything was over, Ji Junxing said he wanted Lin Xi's address. Jiang Yimian initially disagreed, but when she heard that Ji Junxing was going to give Lin Xi a gift, she happily sent Lin Xi's address to Ji Junxing. In Lin Xi's family's supermarket, Ji Junxing saw that Lin Xi was ignoring him and didn't want to leave directly. Lin Xi originally wanted to make him leave but almost knocked over a shelf.
Lin Xi's father walked into the supermarket and saw the two people pulling at each other. During dinner, Lin Xi's parents competed to put food on Ji Junxing's plate. Ji Junxing lied that he was invited by Lin Xi and even showed a video of his younger brother Lu Chi's birthday. Lin Xi watched her parents excitedly watching Lu Chi's photos and videos, feeling confused. Ji Junxing shook his head and said nothing.
Lin Xi's father invited Ji Junxing to play basketball together after dinner. Ji Junxing originally intended to go easy on Lin Xi's father but was surprised by his excellent skills and ended up lying exhausted on the court. Lin Xi watched the smiles on her parents' faces as they left the court and felt very emotional. Ji Junxing asked again and finally learned the reason Lin Xi was angry.
He then told her the remaining words she hadn't heard that night. Under Ji Junxing's explanation, Lin Xi finally realized she had misunderstood the person. It turned out that her brother's heart was with Lu Chi. At night, Lin Xi recalled her actions in her room and felt very regretful. Early in the morning, Jiang Yimian was woken up by the sound of the phone and ran downstairs angrily. Xie Ang invited Jiang Yimian to hang out, but she refused.
So, he had to invite Jiang Yimian to find Lin Xi, and the two set off by car together. On the other side, Ji Junxing and Lin Xi went out for breakfast. Lin Xi suggested taking Ji Junxing to the station after breakfast and apologized to Ji Junxing again. Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi if he was a substitute for her brother.
Just as Lin Xi was about to answer, Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang appeared and hugged the two of them. Lin Xi looked at the two who wanted to roam around and had to agree to let Ji Junxing stay temporarily. While cycling, Jiang Yimian asked Lin Xi about her situation with Ji Junxing. Lin Xi told Jiang Yimian about her inner conflicting emotions. Jiang Yimian reminded Lin Xi that Ji Junxing was genuinely friends with her.
Lin Xi looked thoughtful. Xie Ang was helping Jiang Yimian on the swing, and Ji Junxing pushed a bicycle over to find Lin Xi. Lin Xi told Ji Junxing that she had indeed treated him as her brother's shadow before. Hearing Lin Xi's answer, Ji Junxing could only pretend that nothing had happened. Lin Xi thought Ji Junxing wanted to reset everything, but Ji Junxing said he wanted her to get to know the real Ji Junxing again.
Lin Xi looked at Ji Junxing's extended hand and happily shook it. The two couldn't help but smile. The few of them went home separately. Lin Xi also returned home. She couldn't help but hug her mother on the sofa to express her affection.
Episode 10 Recap
The second semester of the second year of high school started. Lin Xi told Jiang Yimian that the two of them planned to start over. Upon returning to the classroom, after talking to Teacher Sun, Lin Xi swapped seats with Xie Ang. Suddenly, Qin Kai's friend, "Da Heiniu," came to the class and pulled Lin Xi away. Ji Junxing was about to follow them to see what was happening when Song Linxue called.
"Da Heiniu" told Lin Xi that Qin Kai was very sad because his monthly exam results were poor and he almost had to repeat the grade. Lin Xi went to the class to find Qin Kai and saw that his eyes were teary, so she suggested he study hard. At this point, Qin Kai proposed that Lin Xi help him with tutoring, and if his grades improved, he wouldn't have to repeat the grade.
Lin Xi looked at Qin Kai's report card and decided to think about it carefully. Ji Junxing came to the sports field, and Song Linxue told him that she was going to Beijing for training tomorrow and wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to Lin Xi. Ji Junxing told Song Linxue that they had already cleared things up and that she shouldn't worry about it.
Song Linxue said goodbye to Ji Junxing and also told him before leaving that she had let go of her feelings for him. At night, the day students left one after another. At this time, Qin Kai brought books and wanted to study with Lin Xi. Lin Xi told Ji Junxing that she was going to help Qin Kai with tutoring.
Ji Junxing originally planned to wait for Lin Xi to go home but then learned that Lin Xi had moved into the student dormitory. Ji Junxing looked at Qin Kai's smug look and left angrily. It was night again. Ji Junxing saw Lin Xi tutoring Qin Kai and couldn't help but interrupt. Qin Kai originally wanted to stump Ji Junxing with knowledge questions, but unexpectedly Ji Junxing actually answered them correctly.
Lin Xi, seeing the two refusing to back down, left angrily. After the two chased after and saw Lin Xi into the dormitory, they couldn't help but mock each other with words. Upon returning to the dormitory, Qin Kai only then learned that Ji Junxing had also moved into the dormitory.
He angrily made a bet with Ji Junxing, saying that whoever improved their monthly exam results more would win, and if he won, Ji Junxing would have to move out of the dormitory. Although Ji Junxing was unhappy, he could only agree. In the early morning, Lin Xi, Jiang Yimian, and Xie Ang came to the cafeteria to eat. Seeing Ji Junxing, Lin Xi asked him why he was there.
Ji Junxing explained that he had moved into the school dormitory to cherish time for studying. In the office, Qin Kai asked Teacher Wu if his improved score could surpass Ji Junxing's. Teacher Wu was startled. At this time, Teacher Sun, who was nearby, said that Qin Kai could only surpass him if Ji Junxing was absent from the exam or regressed. Qin Kai suddenly understood and left the office excitedly.
Qin Kai came to the classroom to play a knowledge quiz game with Ji Junxing and asked Lin Xi to be the referee. During the quiz, both won and lost, refusing to back down from each other. In the cafeteria, Xie Ang was about to swipe his card for Jiang Yimian, who was saving money for the music festival expenses, but he found that his card balance was insufficient and could only ask the auntie for two servings of rice.
After the meal, neither of them was full. Xie Ang took out one yuan from his pocket, but Jiang Yimian told him that the small shop had already increased prices. At this point, Xie Ang suddenly thought of buying snacks from outside the school and selling them to make a profit. So early the next morning, Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang appeared holding many snacks but suddenly discovered Director Xie standing downstairs of the teaching building.
The two had no choice but to call out to Lin Xi and the small group's Gao Yunlang and Chen Mo, asking them to help carry the snacks. Lin Xi and the other two successfully passed. Just as Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian were passing by, Director Xie called out to Xie Ang. Xie Ang was about to confess but found that Director Xie was angry because he had been reading a magazine the night before.
Jiang Yimian quickly pulled Xie Ang away. The two placed the food on the desks, and many students rushed to buy them. Finally, Xie Ang found that he had earned two hundred yuan and gave all the money to Jiang Yimian. At Lin Xi's reminder, everyone realized that Ji Junxing was not in the classroom.
It turned out that Qin Kai and Ji Junxing had been playing around in the shower room the night before, and Qin Kai had sprained his ankle, while Ji Junxing had a fever. Lin Xi called and told Ji Junxing that Teacher Sun had asked her to deliver medicine to the dormitory entrance. When Qin Kai heard this, he quickly ran out of the dormitory with crutches to find Lin Xi.
Qin Kai originally wanted Lin Xi to take him to the infirmary, but Ji Junxing picked him up and carried him towards the infirmary. In the infirmary, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi if she was free on Friday to meet Lu Chi, who had returned from abroad. Lin Xi immediately happily agreed.
After the monthly exam, Qin Kai came to the office to look through the report cards and found that his improved score was one point lower than Ji Junxing's, so he left in disappointment. Qin Kai came to the class to find Lin Xi but was told by Jiang Yimian that she and Ji Junxing had just left together. On the way home, Lin Xi was very nervous and excited about meeting Lu Chi, and Ji Junxing kept comforting her. Just as Lin Xi was about to take a deep breath to relax, she heard Lu Chi's shout, and the two looked at each other excitedly.

On the way back, Qin Kai talked to Lin Xi about his family, and then wanted to take Lin Xi to see his grandfather.
Qin Kai took Lin Xi to the school boiler room, it turned out this was Qin Kai's secret base. He took out a small plant named "Li Bai", and also introduced the plants he grew to Lin Xi. Qin Kai told Lin Xi that he liked plants, because he was lonely when he was a child and could only talk and chat with the succulents at his doorstep, over time, he felt that plants were more reliable than people.
After finishing the tour, Lin Xi wanted to leave, but Qin Kai wanted to stay there and not return to the dormitory, so Lin Xi promised to keep it a secret for Qin Kai. The next day, Director Xie, angry because there was no hot water when he showered in the bathroom, came angrily to the boiler room, and then discovered Qin Kai's secret base, and also saw Qin Kai sleeping on the sofa.
In the classroom, Ji Junxing was helping Lu Chi modify the racing car for the competition, when he heard the broadcast announcing the criticism and punishment for Qin Kai. In the office, Director Xie told Qin Kai that this matter would be handled seriously, telling his parents must come to school next Monday, otherwise Qin Kai would be expelled.
Qin Kai listened to Director Xie's resolute words, walked to the sports field wanting to contact his father, but was told by the secretary that the meeting had not yet ended. Qin Kai comforted Lin Xi who came to care for him, but slowly walked back to the classroom by himself. Under Da Heiniu's narration, Lin Xi truly understood Qin Kai's family situation.
In the classroom, Lin Xi told the matter to a few members of the small group, planning to ask them to lend a mother to Qin Kai, the few people could only tactfully refuse due to various reasons, finally, only Ji Junxing remained. Ji Junxing didn't understand why he should help Qin Kai and left his seat, Lin Xi chased after Ji Junxing, telling him the news that Qin Kai's mother had passed away long ago.

Director Xie told Aunt Wen that the school was considering expelling Qin Kai, at this time, she suddenly said that she was there to process the withdrawal procedures for Qin Kai, Director Xie and Qin Kai were both startled. Director Xie could only persuade Aunt Wen to let Qin Kai stay and continue studying, and asked her to care more about the child's physical and mental health. Aunt Wen left her mobile number and left the office.
Qin Kai chased out to the corridor, thanked Aunt Wen for her help, and also made an appointment with her to go to Ji Junxing's home to eat dumplings when she was free.

Qin Kai looked at Director Xie, so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.
Episode 12 Recap
The Municipal Education Bureau organized an English essay competition with the theme "The Meaning of Idols", stipulating that everyone must participate. After class, the few members of the small group all talked about what they thought was the meaning of idols. Jiang Yimian felt that this theme was tailor-made for her, and her creative passion was exceptionally high.
In the corridor, Ji Junxing talked to Lin Xi about his idol, Gao Yunlang, but Lin Xi thought programming was dry and boring, and Ji Junxing couldn't help but retort. At this moment, banknotes suddenly floated down from upstairs. It turned out that Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang wanted to secretly count money upstairs but accidentally spilled it.
Lin Xi returned the money she picked up to Jiang Yimian and learned that they had saved enough money for the music festival tickets. Jiang Yimian dragged Ji Junxing, who was once the star player of the programming club, to the computer room to grab tickets together. When the music festival tickets went on sale, Jiang Yimian was very happy to see that Ji Junxing had gotten the tickets.
At this time, Jiang Yimian asked Lin Xi to help her buy music books on the weekend, saying that she wanted to learn music theory and prepare for the music festival. After Lin Xi and Ji Junxing helped Jiang Yimian borrow books at the library, they went to a restaurant to eat. When ordering, the staff told them that they could get a toy blind box for purchases over fifty yuan.
Lin Xi's heart fluttered when she saw the cute toys. So the two bought four sets of meals and finally drew the rabbit and fox keychains. At this moment, Lu Chi and Wang Dong appeared. Lu Chi wanted the doll in Lin Xi's hand to give to Wang Dong. Lin Xi was about to hand it to Lu Chi, but Ji Junxing kept blocking her. Seeing this, Lu Chi had to give up and left with Wang Dong.
At school, Ji Junxing frantically called out to Lin Xi and told her that the website link for grabbing music festival tickets was fake and Jiang Yimian had been deceived. The few members of the small group hinted and implied to Jiang Yimian many times, and finally even told her directly, but she refused to believe it and still treasured the fake music festival ticket. At night, the classroom lost power due to thunder and rain.
Director Xie asked everyone to turn on their flashlights and continue studying. As soon as Director Xie left the classroom to check the situation, the class tea party officially began. Xie Ang came to Lin Xi's seat and ate melon seeds with Jiang Yimian, while Ji Junxing took out his phone and listened to songs with Lin Xi. Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi who the idol she wrote about in her essay was.
Lin Xi told him she wrote about a doctor because she wanted to apply to medical school in the future. Lin Xi asked Ji Junxing about his future plans. Ji Junxing remembered his father telling him to go to business school at home, so he could only tell her he hadn't thought it through properly. At this moment, Director Xie quietly walked into the classroom.
He confiscated the music appreciation book Jiang Yimian was reading and the snacks of other students. Then he pulled off the clothes covering Ji Junxing and Lin Xi. He found they were discussing problems, so he told them to study hard. Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang at the front desk couldn't help but chuckle. After Director Xie left the classroom, Jiang Yimian found her ticket was clipped in the book.
Jiang Yimian hoped Director Xie would return the book to her. Director Xie offered the condition of getting 130 points in the monthly math test, so Jiang Yimian had to agree. When Jiang Yimian returned to the classroom, she asked everyone to help her with tutoring. At night, Ji Junxing advised Jiang Yimian to leave because it was too late, and the other few people also advised Jiang Yimian to give up.
Jiang Yimian felt that the things they loved could all be respected, but her simple wish to attend a concert could not be fulfilled, and she couldn't help but cry out loud. After seeing Jiang Yimian leave crying, Lin Xi believed that what was important was not whether the music festival was real or fake, but accompanying Jiang Yimian to become a better person. After hearing Lin Xi's words, the few people all offered to help.
So, the small group often gathered in the classroom to help Jiang Yimian with tutoring. Jiang Yimian looked at the music festival poster hanging in her dorm room and silently cheered herself on. After the monthly test, the few people accompanied Jiang Yimian to the office to find Director Xie. Jiang Yimian got her ticket back and ran out of the office excitedly to hug everyone. They looked at Jiang Yimian's excited back and worried.
At this point, Xie Ang proposed another plan. In the rehearsal room, just as everyone was troubled by their unfamiliarity with musical instruments, Qin Kai appeared and even found a group of professional friends to teach everyone how to practice instruments. Lin Xi thought that playing together would require at least three months of practice, so Qin Kai told everyone to just learn enough to make it look similar.
On the day of the music festival, Jiang Yimian happily bid farewell to everyone, and the few people could only wish her a fun day. Jiang Yimian arrived at the stadium and found that something was wrong. Only after asking did she learn that she had been deceived by a scammer. She was very disappointed and couldn't help but squat down and cry on her way home. Just then, the lights ahead lit up.
Jiang Yimian walked forward and found that the band formed by the few members of the small group was performing songs by her favorite band. Jiang Yimian watched the few people's efforts and couldn't help but cry out loud. Everyone came down from the stage to hug Jiang Yimian. Jiang Yimian wiped the tears from her face and hugged everyone.
Afterwards, Ji Junxing walked up to Lin Xi and told her that he wanted to take the Peking University exam with her. The two smiled happily.

The few members of the small group discussed the study life of the third year of high school in the corridor. Chen Mo asked everyone about their plans. Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang planned to expand their small shop business, while Lin Xi was preparing to apply for a spot in the Peking University winter camp. After school, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi to wait at the company entrance, and then went in to find Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen handed Ji Junxing the business school application materials his father had sent back. Ji Junxing told her that he wanted to return to the provincial team to participate in the Informatics Olympiad. After thinking, Aunt Wen agreed to let Ji Junxing study computer science, but she asked Ji Junxing to prepare for both possibilities before discussing it with his father. Ji Junxing walked out of the company and happily took Lin Xi to eat ice cream.
During the hurdles competition, Lin Xi came to the sports field at the invitation to cheer for Qin Kai. Listening to her encouragement, he crossed the finish line and got first place. After the awards ceremony, Qin Kai took a few photos of himself and Lin Xi together, saying he wanted to keep them as a souvenir. Qin Kai gave the medal to Lin Xi, thanking her for cheering him on. Lin Xi happily accepted it.
Then Qin Kai told her that he was going for training in another province, and also promised her that he would win a gold medal with higher value. Lin Xi returned to the teaching building and saw Ji Junxing sitting there in a daze. It turned out that Ji Junxing couldn't solve the test questions, and was rejected by the provincial team coach. Lin Xi comforted Ji Junxing and asked him about his future plans.
Ji Junxing planned to self-study and then challenge again. Lin Xi said she would always support him. In the classroom, Teacher Sun handed out the monthly exam papers, while Ji Junxing secretly took out materials from his drawer and started self-studying. At night, Ji Junxing was coding alone in the computer room. In the classroom, everyone was studying, but Ji Junxing was so sleepy that he rested his head in his hand and slept.
In the canteen, Xie Ang took out black coffee to help Ji Junxing stay awake. Although Ji Junxing drank it, he was still drowsy. The few members of the small group looked at Ji Junxing's sleepy appearance and were very confused. Lin Xi told them that Ji Junxing wanted to return to the provincial programming team through self-study, but Teacher Xu had been avoiding him recently.
Suddenly Lin Xi had a bold idea, so she pulled everyone together to discuss it. In the restroom, Ji Junxing found Teacher Xu and told him that he had been self-studying, and wanted him to give him another chance. Teacher Xu said that Ji Junxing's ability no longer met his requirements. Just as he was about to leave, the few members of the small group rushed into the restroom and asked him to give Ji Junxing another chance.
Seeing how earnest Ji Junxing was, Teacher Xu gave him a test question on the spot. After a long time, Ji Junxing finished solving the problem. The few people walked out of the restroom, and Teacher Xu said he would go back and consider it. At the school gate, Qin Kai was anxiously looking at his watch, waiting next to the bus with two potted plants. "Da Heiniu" ran over and told him that Lin Xi was not in class.
Qin Kai called Lin Xi, but no one answered. Qin Kai got on the bus in disappointment. Just as Lin Xi walked out of the school gate, she called out to him. Qin Kai handed Lin Xi the two potted plants he had raised in the boiler room. After getting on the bus, he also reminded Lin Xi to call or text him. Lin Xi happily agreed. Ji Junxing watched the interaction between the two of them and felt uncomfortable.
At school, Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang were holding self-made flyers and promoting Mianmian Supermarket to everyone. One day, Xie Ang received a message and thought it was a big customer, so he excitedly shared it with Jiang Yimian. The two of them packed snacks together and delivered them to "Da Heiniu", but failed to understand his hint, and were caught by Director Xie on the spot, red-handed.
Ji Junxing and Lin Xi were standing in front of the school bulletin board. Just then, Xie Ang ran over and threw the snacks to the two of them, and the four of them split into two groups to escape Director Xie's pursuit. Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian ran to the corridor, saw a crowd of people, and started running and throwing snacks at the same time.
After much difficulty, Director Xie finally caught the two of them and dragged them to the office. In the office, Director Xie reprimanded the two of them for doing business at school. He wanted to record a demerit on Jiang Yimian's file, but Xie Ang took all the responsibility onto himself at this moment. On the other side, Ji Junxing and Lin Xi ran to the rooftop with two bags of snacks.
After escaping the security guard's pursuit, the two of them decided to destroy the evidence together. After the two of them finished the snacks, they suddenly remembered the important matter, so they found the list torn from the bulletin board, and discovered that Ji Junxing had been added to the provincial team through supplementary recruitment. The two of them excitedly hugged each other.
Episode 14 Recap
Director Xie handed Xie Ang two large bags of snacks and told him to distribute them to his classmates, saying that these were bought with his next month's living expenses, the purpose being to let everyone see the consequences of reselling. At the same time, Director Xie announced that an exam would be organized at the end of the month, and students would be selected to participate in the winter camp based on their ranking.
In the canteen, Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that he planned to strive for a recommendation spot in the provincial team, Jiang Yimian was very confused with no plans, while Chen Mo looked at Gao Yunlang thoughtfully. On the rooftop, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi to tutor him in cultural subjects because he had to prepare for the competition and couldn't attend evening classes.
Lin Xi scolded Ji Junxing for not seriously completing his essay, but unexpectedly, Ji Junxing tried to solve everything using math. Lin Xi assigned homework to Ji Junxing, and the two of them walked back to the dormitory together. Liu Yin saw the warm scene between the two of them and couldn't help but bump into Lin Xi as she walked past.
The two of them had no choice but to pick up the materials and say goodbye to each other. In the restaurant, Jiang Yimian asked Xie Ang to tutor her in math. It turned out that Jiang Yimian had reunited with Xiao Bing Ge, who lived next door when she was a child, and wanted to test into Jinghang University.
Xie Ang asked Jiang Yimian if she liked Xiao Bing Ge, and seeing her shy look, he had no choice but to leave in anger. In front of the bulletin board, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing respectively found their names on the list and agreed to go to Jingzhou together, feeling very happy. Just then, a girl notified the two of them to go to Director Xie's office.
In the office, Director Xie said that someone had reported that the two of them were dating, so he called them in to understand the situation in person and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Lin Xi explained that they were just good friends. Liu Yin said that Lin Xi often returned to the dormitory after the lights were out, and Liu Yin's mother took out the gift Lin Xi had prepared as evidence.
Lin Xi said that she only wanted to encourage Ji Junxing, and thought that Liu Yin wanted to drag people down because she wasn't selected. Director Xie nodded slightly. After the two of them left the office, Lin Xi solemnly gave the keyboard to Ji Junxing. In front of the braised roast shop at the East Gate, the few members of the small group celebrated that Lin Xi and Ji Junxing would go to Jingzhou together for study and training.
Jiang Yimian said that she would also go to Jingzhou during the winter break, and Xie Ang strongly objected due to worries about Jiang Yimian's personal safety. The few of them watched the arguing two in silence. During the holiday, Jiang Yimian talked on the phone with Lin Xi as she walked out of the station, but turned around and found Xie Ang following her. She ran away but accidentally dropped her wallet.
So Jiang Yimian came to Jinghang University, wanting to seek refuge with Xiao Bing Ge. At Jinghua University, after the interview ended, Lin Xi walked out the door and saw Ji Junxing waiting. The two of them decided to walk around and feel the atmosphere of the university. Suddenly, Lin Xi was startled by members of the drama club. Upon closer inspection, she found it was a dark-themed role-playing activity by the club.
The two of them secretly walked into the theater wanting to participate in the activity. While they were fooling around in the corridor after putting on makeup, a senior female student suddenly appeared. The two of them had no choice but to tell the truth and apologize. The senior female student did not scold them, but instead invited them to participate in the drama club activities next year. At night, the two of them left the drama club.
Suddenly, Lin Xi received a call. Jiang Yimian cried and told Lin Xi that Xiao Bing Ge had not only repeatedly refused her invitations, but also had a girlfriend. Xie Ang took the phone and told Lin Xi that he was also there, asking her to rest assured. Jiang Yimian thought that no one liked her. Just then, Xie Ang suddenly shouted, "I like you". The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Xie Ang explained that Jiang Yimian was loyal and kind, and the few members of the small group all liked her. Hearing Xie Ang's comfort, Jiang Yimian finally laughed happily. On the other side, when Lin Xi checked her written test answers, she found that she had made a mistake on the last major question and was very annoyed.
In order to comfort Lin Xi, Ji Junxing gave Lin Xi the lucky charm necklace he was wearing, and Lin Xi gladly accepted it. Suddenly, a few people ran past. The two of them couldn't help but follow and count down with them. When the countdown ended, brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, and the two of them were very happy.
Episode 15 Recap
The 100-day countdown to the college entrance examination began. To ensure learning quality, the school not only organized everyone to run 800 meters every morning but also extended the self-study time by half an hour. Therefore, every time evening self-study ended, everyone rushed out of the classroom with their school bags, but even when running to the bathhouse, they were always cutting it close to the bathhouse's closing time and quickly took a cold shower.
In the canteen, the members of the small group were discussing the issue of wanting to take a comfortable bath. At this time, Ji Junxing told everyone that he won a gold medal in the competition and obtained a recommendation spot at Jing University. Lin Xi congratulated Ji Junxing on achieving his wish. In the classroom, Director Xie was explaining the knowledge point of exponential growth. Suddenly, the hot water kettle at the back of the classroom exploded.
Director Xie then scolded everyone for not being allowed to use electric immersion heaters to boil hot water in the classroom. Lin Xi lamented that not only was there no hot water, but the hot water kettle was also gone. In the dormitory, Lin Xi poured the remaining hot water from the kettle into the basin, but found that the water temperature was not even higher than body temperature.
However, forced by the situation, she and Jiang Yimian had no choice but to wash their hair with this basin of cold water. The next day, seeing Jiang Yimian and Lin Xi constantly sneezing in the classroom because of a cold, Xie Ang decided to talk to Director Xie, but in the end, he could only walk onto the rooftop disappointed and tell the others that he had been politely rejected.
At this time, Ji Junxing suggested opening the sluice gate at the bathhouse to let everyone have a satisfying hot shower. The others expressed their agreement. After Ji Junxing made the plan with them, they began to act separately. Chen Mo sneaked into the monitoring room and lied to the security uncle that the monitoring system was damaged, successfully making the uncle leave. Gao Yunlang then secretly took the key to the boiler room while the security guard was asleep.
Ji Junxing secretly came to the front of the girls' bathhouse. While the auntie was busy watching videos and not paying attention, he took her phone, changed the time on the phone, quietly put it back, and then left. Xie Ang came to the broadcasting room, turned on the broadcast, and began playing music. The students in the classroom heard the song and rushed out of the classroom. Everyone happily rushed into the bathhouse and took a comfortable hot shower.
On the other side, Director Xie caught Ji Junxing and three others and took them to the playground. He asked who was the leader, and the few of them stepped forward to admit their mistakes. Director Xie told the four of them to stop running laps after admitting their mistakes, but the four of them did not want to stop and kept running.
Jiang Yimian and Lin Xi were very happy when they returned downstairs to the dormitory building after their shower. Just then, a girl told the two of them that Director Xie was scolding Ji Junxing and the four of them on the playground. The two of them ran to the playground to plead for Ji Junxing and the others, but Director Xie believed that although their intentions were good, they had violated school rules and regulations and should be punished.
Lin Xi then stated that she was also a participant since she had taken a shower, and joined the four of them in running laps. Jiang Yimian and other classmates also joined them one after another, running together. At this time, Mr. Wu appeared on the playground. His emotional words also made Director Xie recall his youth. Director Xie decided not to punish the few of them and extended the bath time. Everyone was very happy to hear this news.
But Gao Yunlang turned around and left expressionlessly. Chen Mo caught up with Gao Yunlang in the underpass, but was punched by Gao Yunlang. The two of them started fighting. Ji Junxing and the others rushed over after hearing the news and told the two of them to calm down. Gao Yunlang told them that Chen Mo was going to Jingzhou with his parents soon and then left angrily.
Chen Mo caught up with Gao Yunlang again and told him that going to Jingzhou was not his wish. Gao Yunlang asked him why he didn't say so earlier and thought that Chen Mo didn't consider him a friend. The next afternoon, Gao Yunlang received a local express delivery. When he opened it, it was a pair of shoes sent by Chen Mo and a letter filled with heartfelt words.
In the letter, Chen Mo recalled their interactions from childhood until now and stated that Gao Yunlang would always be his most important friend. After reading the letter, Gao Yunlang ran out the door. In front of the station, Chen Mo received gifts from the members of the small group and hugged them. The few of them agreed to study hard together for Jing University and reunite in Jingzhou.
Just as Chen Mo thought Gao Yunlang hadn't come and was about to leave in disappointment, Gao Yunlang ran and arrived, telling Chen Mo to wait for him in Jingzhou. Chen Mo agreed to see him again in Jingzhou. After everyone left the station, the few of them looked at Gao Yunlang's lonely appearance and couldn't help but talk about parting. Ji Junxing said that everyone would definitely get into Jing University together and always be together.
At this time, Ji Junxing suddenly received a message from Auntie Wen, informing him that the admission notification from the business school had also arrived. But under Lin Xi's questioning, Ji Junxing had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Episode 16 Recap
At home, Ji Junxing walked into the study and told his father that he didn't want to study business and wanted to study computer science. His father told him to transfer majors later or come back after graduation. Ji Junxing said he liked the atmosphere at Jing University and wanted to stay in China to study computer science.
Ji Junxing's father felt that Ji Junxing had changed his mind because of Lin Xi, so he told Ji Junxing not to overthink it. The two couldn't agree, so Ji Junxing had no choice but to leave. At school, everyone successively posted their goals on the 'wish tree' on the blackboard. Just then, someone shouted that the athletes who were in intensive training were back.
Lin Xi happily ran to the school gate to welcome Qin Kai, only to find that Qin Kai was getting out of the car with crutches. Qin Kai told Lin Xi that he had pulled a muscle on the day of the physical exam, and his score was zero. Seeing Qin Kai looking dejected, Lin Xi told him to recover well. Qin Kai had to leave first because his coach was looking for him.
Lin Xi looked at Qin Kai's back and was very worried. In the dormitory, Liu Yin told Lin Xi that someone was looking for her downstairs. After going downstairs, Lin Xi was surprised to find it was Ji Junxing's father. Ji Junxing's father told Lin Xi that Ji Junxing had received an admission notice from the business school, but was now giving up on his dream.
Ji Junxing's father knew they had a good relationship and hoped Lin Xi could help persuade Ji Junxing. Lin Xi had no choice but to agree. Lin Xi walked back to the classroom dispiritedly and saw Ji Junxing mopping the floor, so she told him that she didn't want to take the Jing University exam anymore. Ji Junxing said that since the six of them decided to stay together, they should take the Jing University exam together.
From Lin Xi's words, Ji Junxing realized that his father had sent Lin Xi to be a lobbyist. He had thought Lin Xi would agree with him, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to tell him to pretend the Jing University pact didn't exist. On the playground, Ji Junxing wanted to send a message to his father but didn't know how to phrase it.
Suddenly, he saw Qin Kai running with his injured leg, so he quickly pulled up Qin Kai who had fallen. Ji Junxing drove Qin Kai's small electric scooter and took him away from school to the lake. Ji Junxing asked Qin Kai what he should do if it were him facing the choice. Qin Kai advised him to be himself.
Qin Kai then asked Ji Junxing what he would choose to do if he were in his situation, give up or repeat a year. Ji Junxing said he would never give up and stick to the major he wanted to choose. Back at school, Lin Xi took out a homemade chocolate gold medal to comfort Qin Kai. Qin Kai thought this was the most valuable gold medal he had ever received and was very satisfied.
In the classroom, Teacher Sun scolded everyone about their second mock exam results, telling them to cheer up and study hard. Liu Yin looked at her declining score and silently shed tears. In the corridor, Xie Ang held the candy he bought to comfort the members of the small group and said the most important thing was to have a stable mindset. In front of the school gate at night, Liu Yin's mother brought many health supplements.
Liu Yin originally didn't want to take them, but her mother said that she had quit her job and moved near the school precisely to create all the conditions for her to get into a good university. Liu Yin had no choice but to agree after hearing her mother's words. Jiang Yimian came to the classroom holding the note Xie Ang left behind. The members of the small group thought something had happened to Xie Ang and were very worried.
So they went to the back mountain of the school together, and the four of them split into two groups to look for Xie Ang. After searching for a while, the four of them gathered together. Jiang Yimian looked at a shoe Lin Xi had found and cried anxiously. Just then, Xie Ang finally appeared. Jiang Yimian excitedly hugged him.
The few of them questioned Xie Ang and only then learned that Xie Ang wanted to come to the mountain to pay respects to the stone lion. They saw it was getting late and were about to leave when they saw the stone lion in the grass. So the few of them took turns gently stroking the stone lion's head and making wishes to the stone lion.
On the other side, because their children were missing, the parents went up the mountain together to look for them. When the members of the small group went down the mountain, they saw Liu Yin who was about to jump off the cliff. Liu Yin told them that her mother made her take medicine, get high scores, and was never satisfied with her.
They all comforted Liu Yin and shouted out their dissatisfaction with their parents at the edge of the cliff. The parents, following the shouts, quietly walked behind them. After Liu Yin shouted out her dissatisfaction with her mother, she couldn't help but cry aloud. Just then, the parents walked forward. Liu Yin's mother tightly hugged Liu Yin. On the way home, Ji Junxing told his father that he was old enough to make his own decisions. Seeing how firm he was in his choice, his father finally agreed to Ji Junxing going to Jing University.
Episode 17 Recap
The day before the college entrance examination, Teacher Sun appeared wearing a red qipao, reminding everyone of the exam hall precautions and wishing everyone a bright future. The college entrance examination officially began, and everyone worked hard to answer the questions for their respective dreams. When only the last English exam remained, Lin Xi received a call from Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang told her that the family members of the person responsible for her brother's car accident came to their house and caused trouble, resulting in Lin Xi's father being injured. Lin Xi was so scared that she quickly ran home. After the exam, everyone threw away their study materials to celebrate their freedom. However, Lin Xi and her mother waited anxiously in front of the emergency room.
In the ward, Lin Xi's father finally woke up, and Lin Xi and her mother were very happy. The three of them returned home. Lin Xi was cooking with her mother when Lu Chi and Ji Junxing knocked on the door to visit. During the meal, Lin Xi's parents looked at Lu Chi eating with excitement and told him to eat more. At night, Ji Junxing and Lin Xi ate watermelon together on the basketball court.
Lin Xi recalled the fear she felt when she received the call, and Ji Junxing gently patted her back to comfort her. Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi about her future plans, and Lin Xi planned to return to Chunhui High School to repeat a year. Because the first year of college required early military training, the members of the small group arranged to get together with Lin Xi before they left.
Jiang Yimian looked at Lin Xi's disheartened appearance and said that she only got into Jing University by following in Lin Xi's footsteps. Ji Junxing also comforted Lin Xi, telling her not to worry about falling behind. After the party ended at night and the others left in taxis, Ji Junxing invited Lin Xi to walk together. Along the way, Ji Junxing took out a homemade Jing University admission letter and gave it to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at the letter and was very happy. Ji Junxing walked Lin Xi to the bus, couldn't help but hug her, told her to remember to call him, and made another appointment to meet her at Jing University. At school, the dean told Lin Xi, who had handed in her phone, that phones would only be returned on the last day of each month.
As Lin Xi walked down the stairs holding her books, she ran into Qin Kai. Lin Xi was confused because she thought Qin Kai had been admitted to a sports school. Qin Kai said that he planned to repeat a year and try again. Qin Kai asked Lin Xi to tutor him, and the two successfully formed the Repeaters' Alliance.
At Jinghua University, during the club recruitment fair, a girl wanted to add Ji Junxing on WeChat but was rejected by him. Just then, senior sister Wei Mingya, standing in front of the drama club booth, called out to Ji Junxing and asked if a few of them wanted to join the drama club. So they all joined the drama club together. At school, as soon as Lin Xi got her phone, she immediately called Ji Junxing.
Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that Xie Ang was pursuing Jiang Yimian, and Gao Yunlang had been receiving love letters recently. Ji Junxing said that a girl had asked for his WeChat, and Lin Xi pretended not to care. Ji Junxing reassured her and said that he didn't like other girls. Lin Xi asked how Ji Junxing would celebrate his birthday.
Ji Junxing said everyone was busy with their own things and he also had to go to drama club rehearsal. The two chatted happily until 7 PM. Lin Xi and Ji Junxing agreed to talk again next month before reluctantly hanging up the phone. Qin Kai came to the classroom and told Lin Xi that his Chinese score had improved by twenty points, and he also planned to show Lin Xi his math mistake notebook.
But Lin Xi said she had an urgent matter and left in a hurry. In the computer room, Lin Xi planned to make a video call to help Ji Junxing celebrate his birthday remotely, but no one answered. It turned out that Ji Junxing had just finished rehearsal and was about to leave. The drama club members took out a cake to celebrate his birthday, and Mingya smeared cake on Ji Junxing's face.
In the computer room, the candle on the cake was about to burn out. Lin Xi planned to leave a message for Ji Junxing but saw a WeChat Moment posted by Mingya. Lin Xi sadly blew out the candle and left with the cake. Qin Kai comforted Lin Xi, saying it was normal social interaction. Seeing that Lin Xi was still unhappy, Qin Kai borrowed another classmate's phone to call Ji Junxing.
But Mingya answered the call because Ji Junxing wasn't there. Hearing Mingya's voice, Lin Xi became even sadder. On the other side, Mingya thought it was a spam call and directly blocked the number. After Mingya left, Ji Junxing looked at his phone and realized Lin Xi had made several video calls to him. On the playground, Lin Xi took out the cake she had carefully prepared, and ate it alone, tears streaming down her face.
Episode 18 Recap
On the university campus, Ji Junxing kept trying to contact Lin Xi but received no reply. Three months later, Ji Junxing was worrying when Xie Ang appeared and invited him to return to Chunhui High School to give a motivational speech to the repeaters. At the repeaters' pre-exam mobilization meeting, the teacher walked into the classroom and announced that they had invited Ji Junxing, an outstanding graduate from the Computer Science department of Jing University, to share his study experience.
Ji Junxing used his speech to encourage Lin Xi. Lin Xi looked at Ji Junxing, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but zone out. After the mobilization meeting ended, the two stood in the corridor, unsure of what to say for a moment. Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi why she hadn't contacted him during this time. Lin Xi said she was busy with reviewing and exams.
Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian had broken up, and Gao Yunlang had gotten a girlfriend. Having not contacted each other for a long time, they were both unclear about each other's recent situation and felt a bit distant. Lin Xi said that even if they weren't together, they couldn't be on the same frequency. Just then, Qin Kai walked over and pulled Lin Xi away.
Ji Junxing told Lin Xi not to forget their promise. Three months later, after the college entrance examination ended, Lin Xi successfully got into Jing University and truly received the admission letter from Jinghua University. When the new semester started, a few members of the small group went to the school gate to welcome Lin Xi and even booked the best barbecue restaurant in Jingzhou to welcome her. Just then, Qin Kai appeared with his luggage.
It turned out that Qin Kai had been admitted to a sports university next to Jing University, so the group agreed to hang out together when they had time. In the barbecue restaurant, Lin Xi sighed that the East Gate small group was finally reunited, but Ji Junxing was late, and Gao Yunlang's girlfriend, Yue Yue, was also there. Yue Yue then talked about her experience pursuing Gao Yunlang.
Jiang Yimian teased that she was waiting for Lin Xi and Ji Junxing to show affection. Just then, Ji Junxing walked into the barbecue restaurant, but he heard Lin Xi's words of denial. He messaged Xie Ang saying he had rehearsal and left sadly. After the gathering ended, Jiang Yimian asked Lin Xi if the two were still in a cold war.
Lin Xi said that she and Ji Junxing had been separated for a year and felt that Ji Junxing was different towards Mingya. Jiang Yimian denied it and secretly pulled Lin Xi to the drama club to watch them rehearse. Unexpectedly, Ji Junxing and Mingya were rehearsing a love scene at this time. Lin Xi couldn't help but put herself into the scene and felt very sad watching the two embrace.
To her surprise, Ji Junxing then said he wasn't in the right state and arranged to meet Mingya at their usual spot. Lin Xi learned that this was not part of the script and could only leave the drama club feeling disappointed. Lin Xi thought that Ji Junxing had seen a bigger world and found someone he truly liked. She told Jiang Yimian that she planned to wish Ji Junxing well.
The next day, Xie Ang was handing out flyers for the social event. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yimian appeared and told him that she and Lin Xi wanted to sign up together. Xie Ang found Ji Junxing and told him that Lin Xi was participating in the social event. At four in the afternoon, a few members of the small group were setting up the venue for the social event.
Ji Junxing made drinks at the front counter while watching Lin Xi sitting by the window. Just then, a boy greeted Jiang Yimian, and the two chatted happily and even planned to add each other's contact information. Xie Ang quickly stated that Jiang Yimian was his girlfriend and pulled her away. The two argued in the kitchen. Xie Ang told Jiang Yimian that he was making money because he wanted to take her to a music festival.
When Jiang Yimian learned the truth, she hugged Xie Ang and apologized to him. The two embraced. Jiang Yimian told Lin Xi that Ji Junxing came to the social event because of her. Just then, Shen Pengyu, a talented student from the Finance department of Jing University, played the piano enchantingly. Yue Yue said that this person often flirts with female fans online and is very much a playboy.
After the performance, Shen Pengyu dedicated the piano piece to Lin Xi. Jiang Yimian left the window to find Xie Ang. Ji Junxing originally wanted to leave the front counter to find Lin Xi, but he was pulled aside by a girl who wanted to get to know him. Shen Pengyu came to the window and chatted with Lin Xi. Ji Junxing saw Lin Xi eating the cake he brought and was very angry.
Lin Xi said she wanted to drink milk tea and intended to leave, but Shen Pengyu held her back and mixed milk tea and an alcoholic drink called "Sunrise". Ji Junxing saw Lin Xi drink two cups and couldn't help but rush forward, drink the rest of the drink, and hug the drunk Lin Xi. Seeing this situation, Shen Pengyu could only leave.
On the pedestrian bridge, Ji Junxing was originally carrying Lin Xi on his back, but because she kept struggling, he had to put her down. Lin Xi told him the story of the fox and the rabbit, implying that she had finally met Ji Junxing but found that he had changed. Ji Junxing couldn't help but talk about the long, agonizing wait he had experienced over the past year, stating that he had always wanted to be with Lin Xi.
Lin Xi took off the lucky charm necklace Ji Junxing had given her and returned it to him, telling Ji Junxing that she no longer planned to like him. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears.
Episode 19 Recap
At night, Ji Junxing carried the drunk Lin Xi back downstairs to her dormitory building and handed her over to her roommate. Just then, Qin Kai ran over. Ji Junxing told Qin Kai that Shen Pengyu had given Lin Xi alcohol. The two came to the convenience store to eat instant noodles. Ji Junxing planned to find evidence of Shen Pengyu being a player to make Lin Xi stay away from him.
So Ji Junxing disguised himself as a junior female student and chatted with Shen Pengyu all night, finally making Shen Pengyu reveal his true colors as a player. The next morning, Lin Xi walked out of her dormitory. Ji Junxing showed Lin Xi the chat screenshots from last night with Shen Pengyu. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi got angry and told Ji Junxing not to interfere with her life.
Lin Xi went to class, and Ji Junxing took the opportunity to sit next to her. In class, the teacher was teaching human anatomy and wanted to pick a student as a model. Lin Xi told the teacher that Ji Junxing had volunteered, so Ji Junxing had no choice but to walk up to the podium. The teacher told him to take off his shirt and stand in front of the screen so they could display the slides.
Ji Junxing was very embarrassed, but saw Lin Xi take out her phone to take photos. After class, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi to delete the photos. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi shared the photos in the East Gate small group chat. The friends in the group were all teasing them. Just as Lin Xi was feeling shy, Mingya ran over and pulled Ji Junxing away. Lin Xi developed a misunderstanding while eavesdropping on their conversation and left in a hurry.
Ji Junxing caught up with Lin Xi but saw Lin Xi and Shen Pengyu walk into a coffee shop together. Ji Junxing warned Shen Pengyu not to set his sights on Lin Xi while she was getting her order. Shen Pengyu got angry and left. It was only then that Ji Junxing realized Lin Xi had met Shen Pengyu about signing up for driving school.
As the two of them were arguing, they each received phone calls from Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang. Xie Ang told Ji Junxing and Chen Mo about the matter, saying that he was going to break up with Jiang Yimian. Seeing that the two of them didn't believe him, he immediately called Jiang Yimian. Jiang Yimian then arranged to meet Xie Ang at 8 PM to break up.
At night, Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian separately asked Ji Junxing and Lin Xi to relay messages for them. Lin Xi thought Ji Junxing was talking about her indirectly, and the two of them started arguing again. Finally, Lin Xi angrily told Ji Junxing to reflect on himself and then left. In the dormitory, Ji Junxing learned from Xie Ang that Lin Xi was going to practice driving tomorrow, so he secretly made a decision.
The next afternoon, while learning to drive, Lin Xi was flustered. The few people in the car watching Lin Xi's performance were very scared. Ji Junxing couldn't help but guide Lin Xi. After the practice ended, Lin Xi pulled Ji Junxing aside and questioned him if he had come to watch her make a fool of herself. Ji Junxing said he came because he cared about and liked Lin Xi.
Lin Xi thought that Ji Junxing said he liked her, but he had a close relationship with Senior Sister Mingya and was being fickle. After hearing this, Ji Junxing pulled Lin Xi away. On the sports field, after the hurdling training ended, Qin Kai came to the stands. "Da Heiniu" asked Qin Kai about his recent situation. Qin Kai said he recently wanted to participate in the national competition and give the gold medal, two years late, to Lin Xi.
As the two finished chatting and were planning to go eat together, Qin Kai received a call from his coach and learned that he had qualified for the competition. He then planned to tell Lin Xi about it immediately. Downstairs of the dormitory building, Qin Kai learned that Lin Xi and Ji Junxing had gone to the big bridge next to the amusement park and quickly ran off.
Ji Junxing and Lin Xi came to the big bridge and saw a group of people setting things up. Mingya was very nervous. Ji Junxing said the most important thing was her feelings. Lin Xi couldn't understand their conversation. Ji Junxing took Lin Xi to the side. Just then, Mingya's official boyfriend appeared. Mingya operated a drone to send over a ring and proposed to her boyfriend. Mingya's boyfriend knelt on one knee and put the ring on Mingya.
The two happily hugged each other. Around them, celebratory cannons went off to bless the couple. On the pedestrian bridge, Lin Xi originally wanted to find an excuse to leave, but was held back by Ji Junxing. Lin Xi felt that in the year since they separated, Ji Junxing had always been moving forward, but she herself was standing still.
Ji Junxing refuted Lin Xi, saying that they were both working hard towards getting closer to each other, and hoped that Lin Xi could give him more trust. Lin Xi looked at Ji Junxing and apologized to him. Just then, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi if she was willing to be his girlfriend.
Episode 20 Recap
On the pedestrian bridge, Ji Junxing asked Lin Xi if she was willing to be his girlfriend, saying he had been waiting for her for a long time. Lin Xi agreed to Ji Junxing, and the two happily embraced. Ji Junxing then put a lucky charm necklace on Lin Xi. What Qin Kai saw when he rushed over was the happy scene of the two of them; he could only leave dejectedly.
Ji Junxing and Lin Xi walked towards the cafeteria together, just happening to meet Ji Junxing's junior schoolmates. Ji Junxing reminded them to remember to attend the club activities, and introduced Lin Xi as his girlfriend. At the barbecue restaurant, the small group gathered together, and everyone talked about their holiday plans. Jiang Yimian wanted to ask Lin Xi out, Ji Junxing hinted at Lin Xi, so Lin Xi had to refuse Jiang Yimian.
Ji Junxing said they had already agreed to go to the library together. After the two left the barbecue restaurant, Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that he was going to take her on a trip, and Lin Xi was very excited when she heard this. Lin Xi arrived at the agreed location and saw Ji Junxing step down from an RV. Just as the two were happily hugging, the small group rushed out from the side.
Yue Yue said that psychology needed to do a social survey on couple travel chemistry tests, and happened to see Ji Junxing renting a car, so he invited everyone to go on an RV trip together. The few of them excitedly rushed into the RV, and Lin Xi and Ji Junxing had no choice but to follow. Ji Junxing drove to Wenchuang Mountain City, and after getting out of the car, Ji Junxing suggested they split up.
So, Chen Mo, Gao Yunlang, and Yue Yue were in one group, Jiang Yimian pulled Lin Xi into another group, and Ji Junxing had no choice but to be with Xie Ang. Lin Xi thought the escape plan had failed, when Ji Junxing proposed another method. Lin Xi and Ji Junxing separately told Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang that the other person was injured.
Jiang Yimian stood on the mountaintop, looking at Xie Ang anxiously running over, and couldn't help but feel concerned for Xie Ang. Xie Ang took Jiang Yimian's hand, and the two finally reconciled. Lin Xi and Ji Junxing were secretly watching the two of them. Seeing that they had finally reconciled, Lin Xi excitedly turned back, almost kissing Ji Junxing, when Gao Yunlang and the other two appeared and interrupted them.
As everyone descended the mountain together, Yue Yue learned that Lin Xi and Ji Junxing had only recently gotten together, so he told Lin Xi that they could use the eight-second rule when they were alone. The few of them came to the lakeside, and Yue Yue suggested a rowing race, with the loser doing all the chores. Everyone boarded the boats one after another, and the race officially began.
Gao Yunlang and the other two were far ahead, with Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian close behind. Although Lin Xi was in last place, she leisurely turned back to chat with Ji Junxing. Ji Junxing discovered that Lin Xi's neck was scratched, so he helped her put on a bandage. Suddenly, Jiang Yimian's duo and Gao Yunlang's trio's boats collided, and Gao Yunlang and the other two fell into the water, so Lin Xi and Ji Junxing won.
At night, Yue Yue waited in front of the tent for Gao Yunlang and Chen Mo to change clothes. After seeing Chen Mo leave, Yue Yue questioned Gao Yunlang why he cared so much about Chen Mo. Gao Yunlang thought Chen Mo was his brother and didn't understand why Yue Yue was unhappy. Yue Yue looked at Gao Yunlang's confused expression and left angrily. Late at night, everyone slept together in the tent.
Ji Junxing looked at Lin Xi's sleeping face, couldn't help but gently kiss Lin Xi's forehead, and then quietly took off his sleeping bag and walked out of the tent. Lin Xi sensed Ji Junxing's action of kissing her, couldn't fall asleep anymore, and also walked out of the tent intending to wait for dawn. Early the next morning, Ji Junxing found Lin Xi. Lin Xi said she was waiting for the sunrise and told Ji Junxing about her childhood.
The two watched the sunrise together. Lin Xi looked at Ji Junxing and couldn't help but tell him about the eight-second rule. Although Ji Junxing was confused, he still slowly counted. Lin Xi couldn't help but kiss Ji Junxing, and the two embraced and kissed under the morning sun. At the campsite, Yue Yue gave the chemistry questionnaire to the few people to fill out.
Looking at the results of the survey questionnaire, Yue Yue said that Lin Xi and Ji Junxing had the highest chemistry, and took out a "Bad Mood First Aid Kit" as a big gift package for Lin Xi. Just then, Xie Ang suggested taking a group photo, so everyone went to the front of the tent to take pictures together. Suddenly, Ji Junxing received a call from his mother, learning that Lu Chi had an accident.
Episode 21 Recap
Lin Xi and Ji Junxing rushed home after hearing the news. It turned out that Lu Chi had secretly gone to play soccer with his classmates because Aunt Wen didn't allow it, causing him to sweat a lot and feel dizzy. Fortunately, the doctor said he just caught a cold. Lin Xi looked at Ji Junxing's worried expression and said that he could come back more often to accompany Lu Chi when he didn't have class.
Ji Junxing considered whether there was a tool that could monitor Lu Chi's physical condition at any time. A year later, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing saw a poster for an entrepreneurship competition. Lin Xi thought it was an opportunity and reminded Ji Junxing that he could try to create a heart monitoring tool. Ji Junxing began to cram medical knowledge related to the heart, attended classes with Lin Xi, and even asked Professor Wang questions after class.
Upon learning that they wanted to create a heart monitoring bracelet, Professor Wang recommended cross-disciplinary expert Professor Chen to them and gave them the address. The two found Professor Chen's house according to the address. Professor Chen thought they were just participating in the competition to enrich their resumes and immediately closed the door before they could finish speaking. Ji Junxing was rejected several times and was very disappointed.
Xie Ang reminded them that they needed to be persistent and communicate more with the professor. For a period after that, the two visited Professor Chen's house multiple times to deliver various small gifts such as breakfast, cacti, and watermelons. One day, the two came to the professor's door again, walked into the house through the open door, and saw the professor sweeping water. The two helped rescue the wet documents on the floor.
Suddenly, the professor received a call saying he had to do an experiment. Ji Junxing let the professor leave first, while he and Lin Xi packed up the things. In the evening, Professor Chen returned home and saw the manuscripts being air-dried and the two who had fallen asleep. The professor woke them up, and the two planned to leave immediately, but the professor kept them for dinner.
At night, the professor asked Ji Junxing the reason for making the bracelet. Ji Junxing told the professor that because of his brother's illness, he planned to make a medical-grade bracelet that could monitor heart data 24 hours a day, and he was prepared for a long-term battle. The professor told them to come back next time with questions, and the two were very happy.
At the professor's house, Professor Chen explained the knowledge related to the bracelet to the two day after day. One night, with Ji Junxing's continuous improvements, the bracelet could finally display an electrocardiogram, but there was still a difference compared to the display of an ECG monitor. The professor told the two to make the bracelet first and gradually upgrade it later.
Another night, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing continuously improved the bracelet's circuit design in the classroom, and finally the first generation bracelet was born. Lin Xi learned that Ji Junxing needed experimental samples, so she enlisted the few members of the small team as the first batch of bracelet experimenters. At the amusement park, Lin Xi had the few people wear the improved bracelets to play amusement rides and record the data after the entertainment activities ended.
After playing, Lin Xi said that if the heart rate exceeded one hundred beats per minute, the bracelet would automatically alarm. She told everyone to wear the bracelets to record 24 hours of data. Suddenly, heavy rain started pouring down, and everyone said goodbye and left the amusement park. Yimian and Xie Ang ran to the bus stop to shelter from the rain. Xie Ang went to buy an umbrella. Suddenly, a bus passed by.
Qingyuan saw Yimian and got off the bus to give her his umbrella, then left in the rain. Just then, Yimian's bracelet sounded an alarm. Xie Ang stood beside her holding an umbrella, looking thoughtful. Yunlang held an umbrella and walked Yue Yue to his doorstep. Yue Yue saw that Yunlang was again concerned about Chen Mo and felt that Yunlang didn't care about him, becoming very angry.
Yue Yue couldn't help but question Yunlang if he had ever liked him. He looked at Yunlang's hesitant expression, said he wanted to break up with him, and went home angrily. Yunlang was at a loss, and left walking in the rain. Ji Junxing told Lin Xi that the tunnel was flooded and the car couldn't pass, so the two had to stay at a guesthouse for one night.
The two walked into the guesthouse, but learned that only one room was left. At night, Ji Junxing tossed and turned on the sofa in the room. He couldn't help but get up and turn off Lin Xi's phone notification, but accidentally slipped and fell onto the bed. Lin Xi woke up startled. Ji Junxing pretended to get a pillow and went back to the sofa. At this moment, Lin Xi's heart rate accelerated, and the bracelet sounded an alarm. She covered her blushing face in a panic with the quilt.
Episode 22 Recap
In the bar, Gao Yunlang invited Chen Mo to drink together. Chen Mo interrupted Gao Yunlang, wanting to take him home. Gao Yunlang said he had broken up with Yue Yue. Gao Yunlang felt that Chen Mo wouldn't understand because he hadn't been in a relationship, but unexpectedly, Chen Mo denied it and said that liking someone is a personal matter and they don't necessarily have to be together.
On the day of the entrepreneurship competition preliminary round, Jiang Yimian and Lin Xi rushed to the venue and learned that Ji Junxing and Xie Ang had been in the interview for a long time and hadn't come out yet. At this moment, the two walked out of the classroom. Although Ji Junxing's plan still had many shortcomings, he passed the preliminary round. Xie Ang's plan, though novel in concept, did not pass.
The few members of the small team walked out of the teaching building happily. Suddenly, Professor Chen called out to Ji Junxing, telling him and Lin Xi to face the subsequent competition well and stating that the two of them were not strong enough and needed a team that trusted each other and worked well together. In the classroom, the East Gate Entrepreneurship Small Team was officially established here. Ji Junxing asked everyone to prepare for the midterm assessment together.
Several people took on tasks, with Lin Xi and Ji Junxing responsible for market research targeting group users. One day, Ji Junxing drove Lin Xi, planning to go to the cardiac and thoracic surgery clinic at the hospital to find patients and their families to fill out questionnaires and understand their needs for the bracelet. However, the two were mistaken for medical touts and taken to the security room.
The two took the questionnaires and ran away while the security guard was directing traffic. Lin Xi and Ji Junxing evaded the security guard's pursuit. Seeing that Lin Xi was hungry, Ji Junxing took her into a restaurant. On the other side, Jiang Yimian brought Qingyuan to meet Xie Ang, stating that Qingyuan was an unofficial helper assisting with the procurement task.
Xie Ang couldn't resist introducing himself to Qingyuan as Jiang Yimian's boyfriend and, ignoring Qingyuan's good intentions, pulled Jiang Yimian away. In the supermarket, Qingyuan and Xie Ang had different opinions on procurement, so Jiang Yimian had to call Ji Junxing to make a decision. After finishing the procurement, Xie Ang saw Jiang Yimian and Qingyuan chatting happily. Qingyuan originally wanted to invite them for coffee, but Xie Ang refused, so he said goodbye to Jiang Yimian and left.
Jiang Yimian didn't understand why Xie Ang had been giving Qingyuan the cold shoulder all day and left angrily. In the restaurant, Lin Xi went to pick up the food. The aunt thought the questionnaires were trash and threw them away. When Lin Xi discovered the questionnaires were missing and searched with Ji Junxing, they learned that the questionnaires had already been transported away by the garbage truck.
The two chased the garbage truck for a long time before getting the survey questionnaires back. In the classroom, a monthly summary was being held. Ji Junxing asked everyone to talk about their work progress and the problems they encountered. Xie Ang said that no matter what he did as the finance person, everyone would have opinions. Jiang Yimian couldn't help but argue with Xie Ang.
Several people left one after another, leaving only Lin Xi and Ji Junxing in the classroom. On the other side, Da Heiniu drove Qin Kai, who had returned from Australia, back to school. Qin Kai looked thoughtfully at the national award gold medal he had received. Learning that Da Heiniu was organizing an exhibition, he asked Da Heiniu to invite Lin Xi to the photo exhibition. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi invited Ji Junxing to see the exhibition together in the evening.
Inside the photo exhibition, Qin Kai was looking at the photos taken by Da Heiniu. Seeing Lin Xi come in, he quickly blocked Ji Junxing and pulled her to the rooftop. Lin Xi asked Qin Kai where he had been for so long. Qin Kai told Lin Xi that he had traveled to many places, and a few days ago while diving, his foot got entangled in seaweed and he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, he was discovered by companions and eventually rescued. Qin Kai told Lin Xi that in that moment when he was closest to death, all the images that flashed in his mind were about her, which is why he rushed back to the country as soon as he got ashore. Qin Kai gave the gold medal to Lin Xi and confessed his feelings to her so as not to have any regrets.
Lin Xi said that she really liked the Biguanghuan Qin Kai gave her and had been taking care of it carefully, and that she would always remember Qin Kai's kind intentions towards her. Qin Kai said that they were still good friends and asked Lin Xi to remember to treat him to a meal. Lin Xi stepped forward and hugged Qin Kai. Lin Xi returned to the exhibition venue, saw Ji Junxing, and couldn't help but tightly embrace him.
Episode 23 Recap
Inside the photo exhibition, Lin Xi called the few members of the small team over, wanting to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, they started arguing again. So, Ji Junxing used the last bit of funding to buy popcorn and announced that the East Gate Entrepreneurship Small Team was officially disbanded. On the overpass, Ji Junxing said that entrepreneurship is like a marathon, some people leave halfway, but it's okay as long as you do your best during the process.
Lin Xi told Ji Junxing that she would always support and help him. At the scene of the entrepreneurship competition semifinals, Lin Xi was anxiously waiting with Ji Junxing. The few members of the small team rushed over to prepare for the interview with them, helping Ji Junxing realize his dream. The few of them walked out of the classroom, learning that the team had passed, and were very excited.
Ji Junxing got the key to the office in the entrepreneurship park, and everyone decided to go and see it immediately. When they arrived at the studio, they found it was very messy and lacked a lot of supplies. So, after repeatedly hinting to the teacher in the tool room, Ji Junxing took away the idle hard drives, mice, and monitors.
Good news also came from Lin Xi's side, and the few members of the small team walked towards the studio carrying their spoils. At night, after everyone had tidied up their things, they celebrated Christmas together in the studio. At this time, Jiang Yimian took out the chat records from the high school meeting. The few of them looked at the text on the tape and recalled their wonderful high school life.
Late at night, Xie Ang originally planned to leave with everyone, but Jiang Yimian asked him to stay. More than half an hour later, Jiang Yimian received a call and excitedly went downstairs, while Xie Ang secretly took out two music festival tickets from his bag. As soon as Jiang Yimian got the gift downstairs, she met Qingyuan. Xie Ang went downstairs with the tickets and saw the scene of the two talking.
Qingyuan asked Jiang Yimian if she wanted to go to Shanghai with him after graduation. As Jiang Yimian was hesitating how to answer, Xie Ang couldn't help but turn and leave. Jiang Yimian happily returned to the office building, but heard Xie Ang coldly saying that the two of them had broken up.
Xie Ang believed that the two of them always argued over small things, he would seek reconciliation, they would reconcile, repeatedly pulling back and forth, and he, as the one who was proactive in the relationship, was already tired. Xie Ang walked straight away without looking back. Jiang Yimian held the gift and cried while squatting on the ground.
It turned out that Jiang Yimian had answered Qingyuan, saying that she wanted to stay in Jingzhou to start a business with Xie Ang. Qingyuan thought Jiang Yimian didn't like Xie Ang that much, but Jiang Yimian said that their way of getting along was just like that, but she liked Xie Ang, and he had always been in her life plan. Jiang Yimian held the three-year anniversary gift she wanted to give Xie Ang and cried alone.
When it was time for new students to start school again, Ji Junxing said that there was only one month left until the entrepreneurship final, and time was tight. At this time, Gao Yunlang said that Shen Pengyu's team had already moved into the park, and they were researching smart sports bracelets, which were in the same category as their own team. Ji Junxing said that he was confident he could win against Shen Pengyu.
In the studio, when Ji Junxing was explaining the research results to everyone, Shen Pengyu walked by outside and couldn't help but stop and peek. Seeing this, Ji Junxing asked everyone to come to his computer to look at the materials. Suddenly, Shen Pengyu walked into the studio to borrow the printer, and Ji Junxing had no choice but to let him use it.
At this time, Shen Pengyu saw the entrepreneurship plan on the printer and secretly took it away. At the entrepreneurship competition finals, the few members of the small team were waiting for the interview. Suddenly, Xie Ang anxiously told them that when he passed by the meeting room, he heard that Shen Pengyu's team's plan was exactly the same as theirs. Everyone was very anxious. Ji Junxing said they could only adapt as needed and take things as they come.
In the barbecue restaurant, only Ji Junxing kept eating meat, everyone else was very dejected. At this moment, Shen Pengyu's team actually walked into the barbecue restaurant and mocked Ji Junxing and the others. Listening to Shen Pengyu's words, Ji Junxing couldn't bear it anymore, threw down his chopsticks, and the few of them got into a fight. At night, everyone walked out of the police station.
Ji Junxing told Shen Pengyu that what he had done for more than a year could not be copied in two or three days. Shen Pengyu denied copying and asked Ji Junxing to provide evidence.
Episode 24 Recap
Inside the studio, the few people sorted and organized the accumulated materials according to time, constantly collecting and improving them, and couldn't help but fall asleep working late into the night. After Ji Junxing sent the organized materials and the entrepreneurship plan to the entrepreneurship competition committee, he finally relaxed. Ji Junxing told Lin Xi to rest for a while, and Lin Xi said she was a little hungry, so the two of them went downstairs to eat together.
Lin Xi said that she really liked the entrepreneurship park, and Ji Junxing believed that here they could realize their ideas and dreams little by little, and bravely pursuing their dreams would surely bring rewards. A few days later, everyone was anxiously waiting for news. Suddenly Ji Junxing received a call and learned that they had truly succeeded. Everyone cheered happily. The entrepreneurship competition finally ended. Lin Xi congratulated Ji Junxing on taking another step closer to success.
Everyone hugged each other. Two months later, graduation season arrived. In the barbecue restaurant, the few people each shared their plans after graduation. Jiang Yimian said she was going to a new media company in Shanghai. Although Xie Ang was sad, he could only tell her to take care. Everyone sighed that they would soon be parting ways and going to different places, but they could only raise a glass to their new lives, wishing everything would go smoothly.
After graduation, Chen Mo flew to the UK to adapt to postgraduate life in advance. When Gao Yunlang applied for an overseas assignment from his company, he stated that he wanted to go to the UK. In July, Ji Junxing unveiled the plaque and announced the official establishment of Jingzhou Jixing Technology Co. , Ltd.
Xie Ang brought a gift on behalf of the East Gate Small Team to offer congratulations and said that he wanted to start a business with the two of them. Ji Junxing and Lin Xi welcomed Xie Ang's joining.
Two years later, in the company's break area, Xie Ang, who was now the Director of the Marketing Department, introduced the performance of the smart bracelet to a science popularization blogger and the head of a sports-related official account, hoping it would help with promotion and publicity. Meanwhile, Jiang Yimian in Shanghai was focused on her work at a beauty expo. In the UK, Gao Yunlang congratulated Chen Mo on his thesis passing, and the two enjoyed a meal together.
At the company, Ji Junxing summarized the sales performance during this shopping festival and praised everyone in the marketing department for their contributions, announcing a three-day paid leave for all employees. Just as everyone was discussing how to celebrate, Ji Junxing saw on his memo that it was Lin Xi's birthday today and quickly left. In the car, Lin Xi was eating takeout while opening her laptop to continue working.
It was only when Ji Junxing reminded her that she remembered it was her birthday today. Lin Xi entered the house and immediately lay down on the sofa. Ji Junxing came to the living room with a cake but found that Lin Xi had already fallen asleep. Ji Junxing sat beside her, looking at Lin Xi's groggy appearance, and couldn't help but feel for her busy daily life as a medical student, so he quietly watched her sleeping face.
One day, the few members of the small team located around the world all received invitation letters for the Chunhui Middle School alumni reunion. Lin Xi asked in the group if everyone was free, and the few of them all pretended to be busy and unable to attend. Lin Xi originally planned not to go, but seeing everyone trying to stop her, she decided to go on behalf of the East Gate Small Team.
On the day of the alumni reunion, Ji Junxing and Lin Xi walked into the school and found that many things had changed. The two stood on the rooftop and couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting. Lin Xi was wondering why there was a campus event but no atmosphere when she turned around and saw many balloons with flowers attached flying into the sky.
She felt this scene was familiar, but Ji Junxing just smiled without speaking. The two walked down the stairs. Lin Xi looked at the star bottles on both sides of the stairs. It was then that Ji Junxing admitted that he was the organizer of this campus event. Ji Junxing pulled Lin Xi to a classroom and said that he had prepared a special questionnaire for her on the computer.
Lin Xi eagerly answered the questions on the computer, finding that all the questions were related to the two of them, and there were also many animated scenes of their time together, which was a great surprise. After Lin Xi finished answering the questions, Ji Junxing took out a fox eye mask, put it on her, and pulled her to the center of the classroom. Ji Junxing told Lin Xi to stay put and wait, then left the classroom. Suddenly, a group of students carrying textbooks walked into the classroom.
Episode 25 (Ending) Recap
In the classroom, Lin Xi took off her eye mask and was very surprised to see her high school classmates sitting in their seats wearing school uniforms. Just as she was wondering where Ji Junxing was, he walked into the classroom holding a large bouquet of roses, gave the flowers to Lin Xi, and then knelt down on one knee to propose to Lin Xi. Looking at Ji Junxing's sincere appearance, Lin Xi shouted, "I do!
" Ji Junxing put the ring on Lin Xi's finger, and the two embraced deeply. In front of the East Gate Barbecue Restaurant, classmates from Class 1 gathered to drink and eat. Lin Xi thanked everyone for coming, saying that seeing them when she opened her eyes today felt like going back to the past. Just then, classmates from the next table came over to congratulate the couple.
One boy said it wasn't fun just drinking after finally getting together and suggested everyone share a secret from high school. Everyone readily agreed. Liu Yin said she had liked Ji Junxing in high school, but she was very happy now that she was married, and thanked the few members of the 'mountain climbing squad' who accompanied her back then.
Another boy told Jiang Yimian that after the basketball game, he had wanted to confess his feelings to her but was stopped by Xie Ang, and the two even got into a fight over it. Jiang Yimian was very surprised. The boy asked Xie Ang and Jiang Yimian when they would have good news. The girl behind him told him that the two had already broken up, and the atmosphere became very awkward.
Xie Ang looked at Jiang Yimian and drank in silence. After the gathering ended, the other classmates said goodbye to Jiang Yimian and left. Jiang Yimian walked to the table, looked at Xie Ang who was drunk and slumped on the table, and sat down beside him. At this point, Xie Ang had quietly opened his eyes but didn't get up. Jiang Yimian quietly said that she also had a secret.
It turned out that Jiang Yimian first fell in love with Xie Ang on the swivel chair in Jingzhou. She thought Xie Ang would never leave, so she took his kindness to her for granted. Jiang Yimian cried as she spoke, and the slumped Xie Ang also shed tears. Jiang Yimian thanked Xie Ang for always tolerating her and giving her many beautiful memories.
Jiang Yimian said she heard Xie Ang was doing well now and that there were girls at his company who liked him, and she was happy for him. After Jiang Yimian finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left. Xie Ang could no longer hold back and cried out in pain. At the wedding, Qin Kai, who was invited by Ji Junxing to be the best man, drove over and told Ji Junxing to treat Lin Xi well.
When Director Xie, the officiant, went on stage to speak, he couldn't help but give a long speech. His wedding address made everyone feel like a teaching director giving a lecture. The little flower girl was about to present the rings to the couple, but unexpectedly, Senior student Ming Ya's daughter thought the box was too beautiful and refused to give it to them, turning around and running away. Ji Junxing had to chase after her for the ring.
Finally, Lin Xi and Ji Junxing put the rings on each other and kissed deeply. At night, at the hotel, the four members of the small team planned to go to the room to give Ji Junxing and Lin Xi a surprise but were stopped by the front desk. Xie Ang looked at the note they left and realized the two had already left.
Chen Mo and Gao Yunlang had to say goodbye to Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang in a hurry because of their papers and left by car. Jiang Yimian said she was leaving too and exchanged farewells with Xie Ang. Watching Jiang Yimian's departing back, Xie Ang also turned and left. Jiang Yimian turned and looked at Xie Ang's back, then turned away in disappointment. Just then, Xie Ang couldn't help but call out to Jiang Yimian, suggesting they start over.
Jiang Yimian finally smiled, and the two looked at each other across the road. In the RV, Ji Junxing and Lin Xi were wearing wedding attire. Ji Junxing said he wanted to take Lin Xi to a beautiful place. Upon reaching the destination, Lin Xi only saw the many fireflies around after Ji Junxing reminded her. Lin Xi asked Ji Junxing if they counted as getting married early.
Ji Junxing said that no matter how long it took, they were meant to be together. Lin Xi nodded in agreement. The next morning, Lin Xi discovered that this was actually the place where they had started over. Ji Junxing held Lin Xi and asked where she wanted to go next. Lin Xi said anywhere was fine as long as Ji Junxing was there. During the Spring Festival, the families of Ji Junxing and Lin Xi gathered to eat together.
Everyone was harmonious and very happy. Auntie Wen said that she and Ji Junxing's father both liked children and hoped the couple would bring good news soon. One morning several years later, Ji Junxing had just woken up and was looking at Lin Xi's sleeping face when their son ran onto the bed and called them to get up. The three of them brushed their teeth together in the bathroom.
Lin Xi looked at her Moments and saw that Jiang Yimian had received a diamond ring from Xie Ang. In the evening, the couple secretly ate the pigeon eggs the child was raising. After the child found out, he chased after Ji Junxing to hit him. Lin Xi saw the fireworks outside the window and quickly called the two over. As the countdown ended, the three wished each other a Happy New Year.
