> Mr. Swimmer Recap
Song Chacha went to the resort, signaling Bai Yongze with her leather shoes while feigning farewell to Coach Huang Donglei. She waited for Bai Yongze, and when he arrived, she firmly expressed her desire to reconcile. Though Bai Yongze was hesitant due to the tragic death of Song Zhihao, Song Chacha insisted she was more afraid of losing him and wanted to face any challenges together. Touched by her conviction, Bai Yongze embraced her, and they reconciled.
Returning home, Song Chacha informed her family, including her mother, uncle, and Lan Tian, that she would not be studying abroad, choosing to stay for Bai Yongze. Her mother was devastated, and an enraged Lan Tian ran out. Believing Bai Yongze had learned the truth about Song Zhihao's drowning from a witness, Lan Tian confronted the witness, only for Bai Yongze to overhear his accusations.
Realizing Lan Tian had deliberately hidden the truth, Bai Yongze was deeply disappointed and challenged Lan Tian, declaring he would not give up Song Chacha or swimming. Bai Yongze publicly canceled his engagement with Li Bao at a press conference. Distraught, Li Bao attempted suicide and was hospitalized. Bai Yongze visited her, urging her to find someone who truly loved her, but she desperately clung to him, insisting he was her chosen one.
Despite this, Bai Yongze left, leading to him being labeled a scumbag in the media. Reporter Xu later tried to use Li Bao's unwavering support to pressure Bai Yongze. Meanwhile, Lan Xin was upset by Lan Tian's depressed state following Song Chacha's rejection and had an incidental encounter with Coach Huang Donglei. Song Chacha's family vehemently opposed her relationship with Bai Yongze, attempting to persuade her to be with Lan Tian.
They kept her under close watch, but Uncle Kong helped her sneak out for a sweet, secret date with Bai Yongze. Back on the swim team, Bai Yongze struggled, finding his performance had significantly deteriorated, making swimming feel foreign to him. Though initially mocked by Luo Guanjie, Luo Guanjie eventually showed his concern.
Due to the negative press surrounding his split with Li Bao and his declining performance, Mr. Lan contacted Bai Yongze's father, citing a breach of contract, to withdraw sponsorship and remove Bai Yongze from the swim team. Simultaneously, Song Chacha struggled to find employment until Uncle Kong offered her a job as a chef's assistant in his restaurant, even going so far as to discreetly fire another assistant, Ah Sheng, to make space for her. Despite some initial staff resistance, Song Chacha's diligence quickly earned her the respect of her colleagues.
