> Miss Lucky Go! Recaps
Xu Miaomiao expressed her belief that Zhong Wei was a harbinger of bad luck, as misfortunes had befallen her and Zhao Gu, and now it was Luo Si's turn. Feeling extremely anxious, Luo Si pleaded with Chen Miren to avoid Zhong Wei and refrain from speaking to him if they met.
Luo Si further explained that while no one is perfect and everyone has their flaws, Zhong Wei's actions were aimed at Chen Miren, and they, as her friends, were being used as leverage, similar to how enemies extract information from a captive's loved ones during wartime. She confessed that her relationship with Fang Mao couldn't withstand another test from Zhong Wei. Meanwhile, Fang Mao, bothered by the noisy gaming habits of his dorm mates, sought a new place to live.
Yao Weijing offered him a room in her apartment, mentioning her roommate had moved out. She lied about having a boyfriend to make Fang Mao lower his guard, admitting to a male friend that her plan was to relax Fang Mao's vigilance. When her friend pointed out Fang Mao already had a girlfriend, Yao Weijing simply said they could break up.
Zhong Wei informed Chen Miren about Fang Mao and Yao Weijing cohabiting, leaving Chen Miren looking worried upon her return. Luo Si, unaware of the true nature of the news, insisted Chen Miren tell her directly, claiming she could handle it. Chen Miren revealed that Fang Mao and Yao Weijing were co-renting, but Luo Si misinterpreted it as Fang Mao finally moving out of his noisy dorm, considering it good news.
She even planned to buy a housewarming gift for Fang Mao. Xu Miaomiao, however, expressed surprise that Luo Si was still happily shopping online for Fang Mao's housewarming gift despite the news. The girls, joined by Zhao Gu, decided to accompany Luo Si to Fang Mao's new apartment to support her. Zhong Wei, admitting that the situation was his doing, drove them there, vowing to ensure they returned safely and happily.
Luo Si optimistically stated that with four of them, they were not afraid to confront Fang Mao and Yao Weijing. Upon their arrival, Yao Weijing accused them of trespassing. Xu Miaomiao retorted that Luo Si, as Fang Mao's girlfriend, had every right to be there, and asked Yao Weijing, as merely a roommate, to give them space.
Fang Mao, surprised by their visit, tried to explain to Luo Si that he had moved out of his noisy dorm to find a quiet place to study and that Yao Weijing had simply offered him a room when her roommate left, emphasizing that there was nothing more to it. Luo Si, still in denial, told him she trusted him and even thanked Yao Weijing for helping Fang Mao, but warned that she would be visiting often.
Yao Weijing, with a subtle smirk, said she was always welcome as long as Fang Mao didn't mind. Luo Si then presented Fang Mao with a hotpot, intending to celebrate. However, Fang Mao abruptly ended their relationship, saying they should break up, and then questioned why Luo Si didn't trust him after she had just said she did. Xu Miaomiao, enraged, accused Fang Mao of having the audacity to enjoy hotpot while Luo Si brought him a gift.
She and Zhao Gu proceeded to dump the hotpot ingredients and took the pot Luo Si had brought. Luo Si, heartbroken, lamented the shattered dreams of their future home with blue curtains, a fish tank, and a hotpot meal on moving day. She was especially upset about the mutton rolls being thrown away, to which Zhao Gu confirmed they were completely gone.
Luo Si then sarcastically wished she had hidden the TV remote, and Xu Miaomiao gleefully confessed she already did. As Luo Si left in tears, Fang Mao tried to follow, but Zhong Wei tripped him. Xu Miaomiao cheered for Zhong Wei, calling him manly, but lamented that Chen Miren hadn't witnessed it. Yao Weijing helped Fang Mao, who complained of injuries from Zhong Wei's kick. In the car, Zhong Wei comforted Luo Si, telling her she would find someone better.
Luo Si thanked him, acknowledging his "indirect methods" for helping. Zhong Wei then thought to himself that he was her "beginning" and would be her "finale" when it came to finding the best. Back at the dorm, Zhong Wei deliberately made himself sick by blasting the air conditioning, planning to use a "bitter flesh" strategy to win back Chen Miren.
He mused that since influencing her through her friends wasn't working, he would try a more direct approach by sacrificing himself. Chen Miren, spotting Zhong Wei in the cafeteria, silently prayed for bad luck to disappear, still wary of him. Later, she brought Zhong Wei medicine, expressing her frustration. She told him to direct any resentment towards her, but to leave her friends alone.
She declared her unwillingness to be the "bad news messenger's" intermediary anymore, urging him to stop his harmful and self-defeating actions and leave their dorm alone. Zhong Wei was visibly upset, realizing Chen Miren perceived him as a "bad news messenger." Meanwhile, Bao Jiaguo, who had stopped updating his novel, appeared unusually gloomy, much to the surprise of his classmates.
Xu Miaomiao, while also noticing the update halt, claimed she only wanted to see how he would write without her as inspiration. Chen Miren urged Xu Miaomiao to forgive Bao Jiaguo, believing he was genuinely sad. Chen Miren also reflected on Zhong Wei, acknowledging that the misunderstanding with Cao Jia'er was resolved and that she had lied to him first, suggesting she was also at fault.
She confided in Xu Miaomiao that she wanted to reconcile with Zhong Wei, acknowledging that his past actions, though initially seen as negative, had helped Zhao Gu uncover her boyfriend's deceit and Luo Si realize Fang Mao's true nature, and also revealed Bao Jiaguo's identity as "A Caged Bird." At a barbecue restaurant, Bao Jiaguo and Zhong Wei were seen eating together, with Zhong Wei leaving first.
Bao Jiaguo confided in Zhong Wei about his plan for an unforgettable confession to Xu Miaomiao, involving a romance novel where his loved one is the female lead, and they live happily ever after on a deserted island. Zhong Wei lightheartedly questioned why he and Chen Miren were relegated to supporting roles if Bao Jiaguo considered him the "school hunk," but also advised Bao Jiaguo on his poor dating skills.
Chen Miren, now practicing her own reconciliation strategy with Zhong Wei, was seen discussing with Xu Miaomiao the best time to approach him at an upcoming small theater film festival, emphasizing that for love, timing, place, and people were crucial. Zhong Wei later received a message from Chen Miren inviting him to the film festival, which he took as a sign that his "bad news messenger" tactics had finally moved her.
Xu Miaomiao, still holding a grudge, complained to Chen Miren about Bao Jiaguo's "tricks" and lack of sincerity, contrasting him with Zhong Wei who was brave enough to be a "bad news messenger" for Chen Miren. Chen Miren suggested there might be a misunderstanding with Bao Jiaguo, prompting Xu Miaomiao to reconsider.
She admitted that while she would view him as a scumbag if he used her for inspiration and abandoned her, it would be romantic if he wrote about her because he truly liked her. Later, Xu Miaomiao found Bao Jiaguo drinking alone at the barbecue. Chen Miren, understanding the situation, left them.
Xu Miaomiao confronted Bao Jiaguo, pressing him on whether the promises made by the male lead in his novel—to protect, love, and never lie to the female lead, to spoil her like a princess, and to stay with her forever—were true. Bao Jiaguo affirmed each promise. Xu Miaomiao then asked if she was the prototype for the princess and he for the knight, to which he again answered yes.
She then asked if he had anything to say to her directly, since he had written her into his novel. After a long pause, Bao Jiaguo said "Not today," disheartening Xu Miaomiao, who turned to leave. Just as she was about to walk away, Bao Jiaguo drank a bottle of wine, stood up, and loudly confessed his love for her, repeating "I like you, Xu Miaomiao, I like you!" Xu Miaomiao, overwhelmed, returned to him, and they embraced and kissed.
