Miss Lucky Go! Episode 16 Recap
> Miss Lucky Go! Recap
After Zhong Wei returned to his dorm, he received a text message from Cao Jia'er. She expressed how much fun she had that day and reminded him about their Friday appointment, to which he simply replied, "Okay." Meanwhile, Bao Jiaguo sought advice from Huang Xiaoyue on how to win Xu Miaomiao's affection. Huang Xiaoyue suggested that Bao Jiaguo should read Xu Miaomiao's favorite novels to understand what kind of male leads she admired.
Following this advice, Bao Jiaguo embarked on "Male Lead Plan A," attempting to embody a romantic and tender character who would accidentally meet his love interest. When this approach failed, he quickly shifted to "Plan B," adopting a more domineering and cool persona. This included an incident on the basketball court where he deliberately hit Xu Miaomiao with a ball and rudely demanded she throw it back.
Xu Miaomiao found Bao Jiaguo's behavior increasingly odd, noting his daily costume changes to resemble idol drama male leads. She suspected he had either joined a cosplay club or was overly influenced by online novels. Despite her confusion, she admitted that he looked quite striking in his various outfits. Bao Jiaguo, meanwhile, believed he had successfully established an indifferent and cool demeanor and intended to further his pursuit by playing "cat and mouse."
His friends also noticed his transformations, with one even pointing out his resemblance to Professor Do Min Joon. Zhao Gu humorously explained that "male creatures would dress themselves up when they want to pursue female creatures in order to win their hearts." Later, Huang Xiaoyue gossiped to Chen Miren that Zhong Wei hadn't returned to the dorm the previous night. Chen Miren defended Zhong Wei, insisting he must have been busy with company matters or had gone home.
When Zhong Wei arrived for class, Chen Miren asked him why he hadn't replied to her message and where he had been. He explained that he was too occupied with company matters to return to the dorm. Meanwhile, students discussed the news of a massive traffic jam at Lanshan Park, a popular spot for couples to watch the sunrise, especially on what was rumored to be the best day of the year for it.
Huang Xiaoyue expressed disbelief that so many people would skip work or school for it. As Zhong Wei opened his book, a ticket to Lanshan Park fell out, and Chen Miren saw it. Chen Miren and Zhong Wei then went to feed Xiaomeng, the cat. Chen Miren inquired if Zhong Wei liked Xiaomeng because it resembled Wuyun (Dark Clouds), his childhood cat. Zhong Wei clarified that Xiaomeng and Wuyun were distinct and that he found both adorable.
Chen Miren then directly asked him if he would still like her and be with her if their shared childhood history hadn't occurred, questioning if she was his "white moonlight." Zhong Wei assured her that his feelings for her were simply because she was Chen Miren, independent of any past events or idealized figures. Separately, Zhao Gu witnessed her boyfriend embracing another girl. She called him, asking why he hadn't come to class.
He lied, claiming he was home sick and had taken a lot of medicine. When Zhao Gu offered to visit him, he quickly refused, insisting he just needed rest. She wished him well, and he replied affectionately before hanging up to "sleep," unaware that Zhao Gu knew the truth.
Xu Miaomiao and her friends were engrossed in a novel, discussing a plot point where the male lead, Bao Zhendong, lied to the heroine, claiming he was going to work but instead checking into a hotel. The friends feared the plot was "collapsing" and speculated on the identity of the person in the hotel room, suggesting it could be a spy sent by the stepmother or the male lead's first love, his "white moonlight."
Luo Si strongly asserted that lying is always wrong in a relationship, regardless of the reason. Another friend countered that if a lie was chosen, it might have been the best solution, implying a much crueler truth. Xu Miaomiao expressed curiosity about the unfolding truth. Overhearing this discussion, Chen Miren reflected on the importance of trust in a relationship and resolved to believe Zhong Wei and not harbor suspicion.
During the Advanced Mathematics final exam, Chen Miren was late and reminded to put away her phone. Luo Si attempted to cheat, and when Huang Xiaoyue asked for a copy, Luo Si threw it. The cheat sheet, however, accidentally landed by Xu Miaomiao. Huang Xiaoyue asked Xu Miaomiao to pick it up, but the teacher saw her, immediately accusing her of cheating.
To protect Xu Miaomiao, Bao Jiaguo bravely stood up, claiming the cheat sheet was his and requesting to speak outside with the teacher. The teacher, sternly reminding Bao Jiaguo that cheating would result in retaking the course, sent him to his office. After the exam, the teacher officially announced Bao Jiaguo's disqualification for cheating and the requirement for him to retake the course. Luo Si and Huang Xiaoyue apologized to Xu Miaomiao, regretting that their actions had implicated Bao Jiaguo.
Xu Miaomiao, however, redirected them, telling them to apologize directly to Bao Jiaguo. Chen Miren later confronted Zhong Wei about his recent busyness. He explained that today was the last day he would be occupied and promised to spend time with her from tomorrow onwards, suggesting they plan their vacation. Despite his assurances, Chen Miren remained somewhat unsettled. Later, two classmates approached her, asking if she was watching the newly released movie, "Listen, Love Is Roaring."
When she denied it, they seemed surprised, stating that they had just seen Zhong Wei buying two tickets for that very movie at the campus cinema and entering with another girl. Chen Miren tried to dismiss it as a mistake, but her friend insisted it was unmistakably Zhong Wei. Alone once more, Chen Miren tried to reaffirm her resolve, reminding herself that trust was paramount in a relationship.
Zhong Wei met with Cao Jia'er and informed her that he had fulfilled three of her wishes: visiting Nanchizi Park, watching the sunrise, and seeing a movie. He then asked if she had any further requests. Cao Jia'er requested berry cheesecake from their current location, and Zhong Wei went to order it for her. While he was away, Chen Miren called Zhong Wei's phone.
Cao Jia'er answered, identifying herself to Chen Miren and explaining that Zhong Wei was buying cheesecake for her. Without uttering a word, Chen Miren immediately hung up the phone, her suspicions confirmed. Zhong Wei arrived to pick up Chen Miren. Chen Miren began to suggest various outing ideas for them: visiting Mount Su to see the cape jasmine, watching the sunset by Xiaobo River, or trying the new branch of a popular milk tea shop.
She then explicitly mentioned Nanchizi Park, Lanshan Park for sunrise from the No. 5 observation deck, and the movie "Listen, Love Is Roaring" at the campus cinema—all places or activities linked to Zhong Wei's recent actions with Cao Jia'er or the ticket she had found. Realizing Chen Miren knew about his activities, Zhong Wei asked if she didn't want to go anywhere or specifically didn't want to go with him.
Chen Miren confirmed she knew everything, acknowledging that she had been a "fake" and had lied to be with him because she knew he had mistaken her for someone else long ago. While Zhong Wei tried to reassure her that he didn't mind her past deception, Chen Miren insisted that she did. She expressed immense pressure, feeling like a thief who had taken someone else's place and stolen their love.
She declared that since Cao Jia'er was back, she could "give him back to her." Zhong Wei was offended by her phrasing, but Chen Miren clarified, asking if they could break up. Zhong Wei emphatically refused. Chen Miren then accused him of trying to "be a two-timer" by dating Cao Jia'er while refusing to break up with her. Hurt, Zhong Wei questioned if she truly saw him in that light.
Chen Miren retorted with sarcasm, implying he was popular enough to have many girlfriends and that she was "not good enough" for him. Zhong Wei tried to explain, calling her unreasonable, but Chen Miren simply stated it wasn't too late that he now knew the truth. Giving her an ultimatum, Zhong Wei warned that if she broke up with him now, he would not wait for her again, telling her not to regret it. Chen Miren, however, affirmed that she would not regret it and declared, "I don't want you anymore!"
