Miss Lucky Go! Episode 19 Recap
> Miss Lucky Go! Recap
Chen Miren returned to her dorm, where her roommates Xu Miaomiao, Luo Si, and Zhao Gu were present. Chen Miren recounted that she had just encountered Cao Jia'er, who demanded that she "give Zhong Wei back." Xu Miaomiao stated that Chen Miren and Zhong Wei had broken up, but Luo Si suggested they would reconcile. Zhao Gu observed that a lack of trust was at the heart of their issues.
He believed Zhong Wei was trying to resolve problems with Cao Jia'er himself to prevent Chen Miren from being troubled and avoid another breakup, similar to what happened in high school when Chen Miren transferred schools because of Cao Jia'er. Luo Si initially doubted, wondering if Zhong Wei might be rekindling old ties with Cao Jia'er, but Xu Miaomiao quickly refuted this, asserting Zhong Wei only wanted to minimize issues for Chen Miren.
The roommates collectively agreed with Xu Miaomiao, urging Chen Miren not to overthink. Chen Miren, however, told them not to comfort her, asserting that she and Zhong Wei had already broken up, though her roommates insisted she would reconcile with him. Feeling Chen Miren had been down for days, Xu Miaomiao decided they needed to keep her busy and ensure she didn't lose face to Cao Jia'er.
Zhao Gu suggested taking her to class, but Xu Miaomiao joked it was like rubbing salt in her wounds. Xu Miaomiao then planned to help Chen Miren dress up the next day, emphasizing the importance of not losing morale, especially in front of a rival. The next day, encouraged by her roommates, Chen Miren dressed up, put on makeup, and went to confront Cao Jia'er, who subsequently retreated, much to the delight of Chen Miren and her roommates.
Later, Chen Miren accidentally bumped into Qin Mengxuan, who picked up her fallen belongings. Qin Mengxuan offered to buy her dinner as an apology, and when Chen Miren hesitated, he suggested milk tea, playfully asking if she was too stingy for even that. She agreed. The next day, Qin Mengxuan brought milk tea for Chen Miren and her roommates. Zhong Wei, noticing Qin Mengxuan's persistent attention, discreetly signaled to Cao Xiaoyue, initiating their "Destroy Qin" plan.
Cao Xiaoyue quickly approached them and announced that the milk tea shop had been exposed for food safety issues, questioning why they would still drink from there. Later, Qin Mengxuan brought food to Chen Miren in the cafeteria. Cao Xiaoyue then "accidentally" knocked the food to the floor, apologizing profusely and offering to pay for a whole table of dishes.
Xu Miaomiao, suspicious, asked Cao Xiaoyue his true intentions, wondering if he was trying to make Chen Miren gain weight to "ruin everything." Cao Xiaoyue confessed that Zhong Wei had instructed him to do it. Zhong Wei then called Chen Miren's roommates, Xu Miaomiao, Luo Si, and Zhao Gu, to explain himself. He clarified that his outings with Cao Jia'er—dining and watching movies—were merely to fulfill Cao Jia'er's long-held wishes.
He explained that in high school, he and Chen Miren broke up due to Cao Jia'er's presence, and he feared Chen Miren knowing Cao Jia'er was back would cause another separation. His intention was to resolve Cao Jia'er's wishes quickly so she would go abroad, ideally to America, and no longer disturb them. However, Cao Jia'er unexpectedly decided not to go abroad and instead transferred to their university, complicating matters further.
After discussing it, Chen Miren's roommates found Zhong Wei's explanation credible and decided to believe him, pledging their support to help him win Chen Miren back. Zhong Wei expressed concern that Qin Mengxuan's aggressive pursuit might succeed before the truth was revealed, noting that Qin Mengxuan's tactics were indeed hard to resist. During the university's open day, Zhong Wei, as an outstanding student representative, delivered a speech to visiting parents.
His father was present and praised Zhong Wei's excellence and good looks. Chen Miren, standing near Zhong Wei's father, disagreed, remarking that Zhong Wei was merely average. She then enthusiastically described Wu Dabo from the Department of Foreign Trade as much more handsome, with impressive muscles so thick they were "thicker than Zhong Wei's thighs," and able to do "eighty push-ups in one breath."
When Zhong Wei's father asked if she liked Zhong Wei, Chen Miren quickly denied it, stating she preferred men like Wu Dabo. Zhong Wei's father left without further comment. Chen Miren's parents also arrived at the school. Zhong Wei greeted them, introducing himself as Chen Miren's classmate. He subtly mentioned that he hadn't seen his own father in a long time and hadn't shared a meal with him. Sympathetic, Chen Miren's parents invited Zhong Wei to eat with them.
Chen Miren tried to object, saying Zhong Wei was busy, but he quickly accepted. At the cafeteria, Cao Jia'er saw Chen Miren and her parents with Zhong Wei. Her friends urged her not to let Chen Miren, a "sticky annoying person," take advantage and to "secure Zhong Wei." Believing Chen Miren was taking advantage of the situation by bringing Zhong Wei to a "parent meeting," Cao Jia'er deliberately approached and acted intimately with Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei took Cao Jia'er aside and firmly told her that Chen Miren was his girlfriend and they had not broken up. He asked Cao Jia'er to maintain a friend's distance, one that would not make Chen Miren jealous.
When Chen Miren's parents asked Zhong Wei to help Chen Miren with her studies, Zhong Wei eagerly offered to sit next to her in class, but Chen Miren rejected him, stating she preferred to sit alone or that Zhao Gu helped her. Chen Miren's parents also asked Zhong Wei to help introduce a "four-limbed boyfriend" to Chen Miren, lamenting that she "sleeps too much and her limbs might degenerate."
As Chen Miren and her parents prepared to leave, Cao Jia'er intentionally hugged Zhong Wei. Chen Miren saw this but said nothing, leaving with her parents. Her parents, having witnessed the scene, commented that Zhong Wei, despite being excellent, already had a girlfriend, and Chen Miren should not try to steal him. Zhong Wei was about to go find Chen Miren when Cao Jia'er called, claiming she had found a seriously injured kitten on Yilin Avenue and needed veterinary care.
Zhong Wei rushed to Yilin Avenue to help, then accompanied Cao Jia'er and the kitten to a pet hospital. Unexpectedly, Chen Miren also arrived at the pet hospital, bringing her own cat, Xiao Meng, for a minor injury. She observed Zhong Wei and Cao Jia'er, learned that Zhong Wei had helped Cao Jia'er with the injured kitten, and then silently departed, stating she had other things to do and wouldn't disturb them.
Zhong Wei followed her briefly, but Chen Miren asked to be left alone. Returning to Cao Jia'er, Zhong Wei clarified his feelings. He acknowledged Cao Jia'er as a "ray of dawn" in his dark childhood, which was why he had tolerated her. However, he emphasized that his feelings for her were purely gratitude, not love.
He unequivocally stated that even if he had met her first in high school, he would not have been with her, explicitly declaring his love for Chen Miren. Cao Jia'er then asked if, no matter what she did, he would never like her. Zhong Wei replied with a clear "Yes" (confirming he would indeed never like her).
Later, Qin Mengxuan approached Chen Miren and confessed his feelings, presenting her with an action figure he knew she liked from her Weibo likes, stating it was meant for the person he loved. Chen Miren thanked him but declined the gift, explaining that she had only been trying to make Zhong Wei jealous before. She then apologized to Qin Mengxuan. He said he understood and didn't mind, implying he still harbored feelings for her.
Chen Miren then clearly rejected him, stating she was not interested in dating at the moment and wanted to focus solely on her career. Qin Mengxuan expressed disappointment, hoping for a "good person" card. Chen Miren gave him one, affirming that he was excellent, considerate, sunny, and handsome, and would find someone better. Qin Mengxuan agreed, convinced he would indeed find a better match. Zhong Wei, who was nearby, then warned Qin Mengxuan to stop pursuing Chen Miren, to which Qin Mengxuan responded with a dismissive "Anyway, I'll find a better one."
