Miss Lucky Go! Episode 6 Recap
> Miss Lucky Go! Recap
Chen Miren pulled Xu Miaomiao aside to ask about her performance in the cheerleading squad tryouts, to which Xu Miaomiao confidently stated that she did well enough to join. Chen Miren was frustrated by her friend’s self-assurance. Soon after, the results were announced, revealing that Chen Miren passed, but Xu Miaomiao did not. As the coach prepared to announce the names, Chen Miren quickly pulled him aside, arguing that Xu Miaomiao’s performance was excellent and she deserved to pass.
The coach dismissed her, explaining that allowing Xu Miaomiao to join would be embarrassing for him. Chen Miren persisted, insisting Xu Miaomiao was a better dancer. The coach then revealed that Chen Miren was the "base talent" they were looking for. Seizing the opportunity, Chen Miren proposed a "buy one, get one free" deal, demanding that if she joined, Xu Miaomiao must also be accepted. The coach, left with no choice, reluctantly agreed.
Chen Miren informed Xu Miaomiao of the decision, but Xu Miaomiao misunderstood, thinking Chen Miren was the "freebie" and reassuring her not to lose heart. Chen Miren accompanied Xu Miaomiao to a basketball team recruitment game, where Zhong Wei and Huang Xiaoyue were playing. Xu Miaomiao wanted to cheer for Huang Xiaoyue, claiming no girl had ever cheered for him before.
During the game, Zhong Wei impressed the audience, and some girls noted that his gaze towards Chen Miren hinted at his affection for her. During halftime, many girls approached Zhong Wei with water. Chen Miren took a bottle of water to offer Zhong Wei, but Huang Xiaoyue directly took it instead. Later, Zheng Ze, who was also present, asked Huang Xiaoyue if Xu Miaomiao was pursuing him, as she had been coming to him frequently.
Huang Xiaoyue clarified that they were just friends and Xu Miaomiao wasn't his type. After the game, Zhong Wei asked Chen Miren if she knew what she had done wrong. Chen Miren, feeling she had angered him earlier, mistakenly thought he was upset about not getting water and blamed herself for offering him "too ordinary" a bottle. Earlier, Xu Miaomiao had gone to give Zheng Ze water but saw him behaving intimately with another girl.
Zheng Ze told her that while she often came to him, they were just classmates, and he didn't like her. Heartbroken, Xu Miaomiao ran off crying. Determined to make amends with Zhong Wei, Chen Miren later bought the largest bottle of water she could find at the convenience store. She triumphantly presented it to Zhong Wei, assuring him he could drink to his heart's content and she would deliver more if he called.
Other girls offering water were speechless, and when one asked Zhong Wei if he still wanted her water, he simply replied, "What do you think?" Online posts soon began circulating, heavily criticizing Huang Xiaoyue’s basketball performance. They labeled him a weak point guard, blamed him for numerous mistakes, and claimed he dragged Zhong Wei down, even mocking his height.
Infuriated by these comments, Huang Xiaoyue fumed about Zhong Wei's height and scoring abilities, claiming Zhong Wei still couldn't be a true point guard. He retaliated by taking his week-old smelly socks and stuffing them into Zhong Wei's bed. Back in the dorm, Xu Miaomiao was visibly distraught, smelling of alcohol, and claiming she was happy. Her roommates immediately suspected she was heartbroken. During a discussion about breakups, Bao Jiaguo, the class monitor, admitted he had never experienced one.
Zhong Wei explained that a breakup only truly counts if the other person no longer has feelings for you. Huang Xiaoyue suggested getting drunk as a common coping mechanism. Meanwhile, Bao Jiaguo, referencing a book, advised that engaging someone in their favorite activities or helping them achieve a long-sought goal could help rekindle their confidence after experiencing negative emotions. Xu Miaomiao continued to skip cheerleading training.
The coach, frustrated by her repeated absences, especially with a basketball match against a neighboring school approaching, threatened to replace her. In solidarity, Chen Miren declared she would also quit. The coach then revealed he knew they had both skipped many classes and two exams using cheerleading practice as an excuse. He warned that if they quit, he would inform their subject teachers, who would make them catch up on all missed lessons and exams.
Chen Miren, initially muttering about the coach's "despicable" methods, quickly promised to ensure Xu Miaomiao would attend all future training sessions. During her own training, Chen Miren observed Zheng Ze being overtly affectionate with another girl, confirming her suspicion that Xu Miaomiao was genuinely heartbroken. Qi Chao informed Zhong Wei that the first-quarter sales for their "Companion Cats" self-heating action figures were "miserable," indicating a lack of consumer interest.
Citing the expensive nature of the self-heating material, Qi Chao suggested discontinuing its use and focusing solely on design. Zhong Wei strongly disagreed, asserting that the self-heating material was the product’s unique selling point and the real problem lay in their marketing approach. He proposed opening an immersive experience store to allow customers to physically experience the warmth of the products firsthand.
When Zhong Wei approached his father, who runs "Heng Chang," for the necessary funds, his father refused, arguing that the idea deviated from the company's existing sales model and could lead to chaos if other project teams also sought special funding. Undeterred, Zhong Wei declared he would find the funds himself. He then presented his "Ao Qi Fashion Selected Shop" plan, aimed at creating a new "Companion Universe" of action figures with immersive experiences, to his stepmother, Bai Ran.
He flattered her, calling her "more caring than his biological mother," and successfully convinced her to invest. Bai Ran agreed to transfer the money, effectively becoming Ao Qi's largest shareholder. Later, Bai Ran enthusiastically told Zhong Wei's father that she had a "small investment idea" for a "Brow-shaving Roller Pen"—a pen that doubles as a brow shaver. Despite his reservations, he reluctantly agreed to fund it, cautioning her against the project leader, Wei Zhong, running off with the money.
During a class roll call, Xu Miaomiao was noted to have been absent three times, jeopardizing her academic credits. Chen Miren tried to cover for her, claiming Xu Miaomiao was sick, a story Zhao Gu embellished by saying Xu Miaomiao was "badly ill" from reading "unedifying online novels" in bed, crying and laughing.
Later, Bao Jiaguo, in his capacity as class monitor, went to Xu Miaomiao’s dorm room and summoned her downstairs for what he called "psychological consultation," suspecting she was faking illness to skip classes. He sternly warned her against such behavior, but Xu Miaomiao insisted she wasn't pretending. Just then, Zheng Ze walked by with another girl, prompting Xu Miaomiao to quickly hide behind Bao Jiaguo, bursting into tears. Bao Jiaguo, surprised by her genuine distress, realized she was truly heartbroken.
He awkwardly tried to console her, suggesting that a breakup was "not a big deal" and that perhaps they would "be together in the next life," which only intensified her crying. Handing her a tissue, he quickly retreated, reflecting on the profound pain of heartbreak and dramatically describing it to his roommates later. Chen Miren and her roommates then tried to cheer Xu Miaomiao up.
While Xu Miaomiao initially preferred to stay in her room and read online novels, she eventually agreed to Chen Miren's suggestion of going shopping the next day, admitting she hadn't done so in a long time. Her roommates remarked that Bao Jiaguo's "psychological counseling" might have had a small positive effect after all.
