Miss Lucky Go! Episode 5 Recap
> Miss Lucky Go! Recap
Chen Miren returned from Linzhou, telling Xu Miaomiao that her trip was initially difficult but Zhong Wei helped her resolve everything. She admired his exceptional negotiation skills, making Xu Miaomiao tease her about sounding like Zhong Wei's fan. Meanwhile, Qi Chao met Zhong Wei, asking where he had been as he couldn't reach him for meals. Zhong Wei vaguely replied it was a "private matter."
In a meeting with Mr. Ye, a factory manager, Zhong Wei finalized a deal, receiving a sample and a special price. Mr. Ye highly praised Zhong Wei’s abilities and mentioned that his father, Mr. Zhong, believed Zhong Wei deserved first place. Zhong Wei, however, downplayed his father's involvement, stating it was merely a "win-win situation" for the company, not a personal favor.
Back on campus, Chen Miren, still rushing, found herself caught in a text message exchange with Xu Miaomiao, who warned her that Professor Cao was on a strict latecomer crackdown, with zero marks for those caught. Chen Miren, who had overslept, was upset her roommates hadn't woken her, but Xu Miaomiao reminded her she had told them to go ahead without her.
Zhong Wei then arrived on his bicycle and offered to give Chen Miren a ride, but his bike had no back seat. Chen Miren asked him to go ahead and try to stall for her. Just as Chen Miren reached the classroom, Professor Cao was indeed at the door, catching latecomers. Zhong Wei, seeing her predicament, ingeniously distracted Professor Cao by asking a complex mathematical question.
While Professor Cao was engrossed in solving the intricate problem, Zhong Wei subtly blocked his view, allowing Chen Miren to discreetly slip into the classroom unnoticed. Later, after class, Chen Miren became the subject of gossip. When Xu Miaomiao confronted the gossiping students, two classmates mentioned a thief in Chen Miren's dorm. When Chen Miren asked if they were talking about her, they retorted that Chen Miren herself was the source of the rumor.
Xu Miaomiao pressed Zhao Gu, who admitted to spreading the rumor. Zhao Gu also mentioned that Luo Si had lost things, implying Chen Miren was responsible. Xu Miaomiao argued that it was merely a misunderstanding over an accidentally opened package, but Zhao Gu retorted it was "not about the package" and demanded Chen Miren swear she hadn't taken her things.
Angered by Zhao Gu's accusation and her secrecy, Xu Miaomiao then revealed that Zhao Gu's boyfriend, Shi Hou, a grad student, was the one spreading the rumors. As Zhong Wei stepped in to vouch for Chen Miren's character, Chen Miren remembered borrowing sanitary pads from Zhao Gu during an emergency. She suggested they discuss it privately, but Zhong Wei urged her to clear things up publicly.
Feeling cornered and embarrassed, Chen Miren angrily pulled her hand away from Zhong Wei, telling him to mind his own business, and left. Other students then gossiped about Chen Miren's outburst towards Zhong Wei, interpreting it as a sign of guilt. Back in the dorm, Chen Miren confessed to borrowing Zhao Gu’s sanitary pads when she had forgotten to buy her own.
She explained that she had bought a replacement pack but then lost it and forgotten to return it, a claim Zhao Gu dismissed due to lack of proof. Xu Miaomiao, however, suddenly recalled Bao Jiaguo trying to give her a pack of sanitary pads earlier, realizing that must have been Chen Miren’s lost pack. She immediately confronted Bao Jiaguo, who initially refused to get involved in "girls' matters."
After Xu Miaomiao insisted, a male classmate intervened, convincing Bao Jiaguo that resolving the misunderstanding was crucial for class harmony and their standing in the "Outstanding Class" selection. Reluctantly, Bao Jiaguo agreed to buy a new pack. While attempting to discreetly purchase the sanitary pads, he encountered another classmate. In his haste to conceal the item, he accidentally picked up a pack of condoms along with the sanitary pads.
Xu Miaomiao, upon seeing the condoms, became even more convinced he was a pervert. The misunderstanding was then quickly resolved when the dorm management arrived, informing Zhao Gu, who had also accused Chen Miren of taking her watch, that the actual thief had been caught and she could retrieve her lost watch from the security office. Deeply embarrassed, Zhao Gu apologized to Chen Miren, who graciously accepted.
Xu Miaomiao then instructed Zhao Gu to issue a public apology in the class group chat, clarifying that the thief had been apprehended and Chen Miren was innocent. This prompted a discussion among Chen Miren, Xu Miaomiao, and Luo Si about Zhong Wei's earlier defense of her. Luo Si suggested Zhong Wei's actions indicated a special interest in Chen Miren, an idea Chen Miren dismissed, believing he was merely being helpful due to her previous work for him.
Meanwhile, Zhong Wei was seen attempting to reconcile with Chen Miren via messages. Separately, in his family chat, he received a humorous 'Don't be Angry' song, suggesting someone in his family was trying to cheer him up. During the club fair, Zhong Wei joined the Basketball Club. Chen Miren, trying to make amends for her earlier outburst, approached him and offered to treat him to dinner, but he remained cold and dismissive. Her "Don't be angry" song clearly hadn't worked.
Soon after, Chen Miren and Xu Miaomiao saw Zhao Gu joining the Music Club, where Zhao Gu explicitly stated she was "not interested in making friends," creating further distance between the roommates. When Chen Miren and Xu Miaomiao attempted to sign up for the Cheerleading Club, they were told all spots were full. Unfazed, Xu Miaomiao confidently tried to argue for an extra spot, but the senior in charge refused.
Chen Miren was ready to give up, but Zheng Ze, her high school senior, intervened and managed to secure one additional spot for the club. Chen Miren and Xu Miaomiao were delighted, with Xu Miaomiao playfully teasing Chen Miren about Zheng Ze being a potential "pursuer," and asking if Chen Miren was joining for Zhong Wei. At the afternoon tryouts, Chen Miren delivered an awkward but surprisingly infectious dance performance.
Xu Miaomiao then performed a confident but exaggerated and humorous routine, which led to the coach crossing her name off the list. When the coach announced the results, she accepted Chen Miren, praising her as a much-needed "base position talent" for the team. Chen Miren, however, declared she would only join if Xu Miaomiao was also accepted, making it a "buy one, get one free" deal.
Despite initial hesitation and joking that she could only lift Chen Miren, the coach eventually agreed to accept both. Xu Miaomiao immediately began suggesting a redesign of the team's "ugly" uniforms.
