My Deepest Dream Episode 17 Recap
> My Deepest Dream Recap
Tan Jiao, engulfed by fear as she faced the black-clad man holding a dagger, suddenly time-traveled once more. During her journey, she witnessed the man's capture and heard him confess to killing Chen Ningmeng, Liu Xiaojiang, and Ye Xunyi. Yet, he defiantly challenged his captors, asking if they had any evidence. Upon waking, Tan Jiao found herself back home, realizing it was October 19th, 2021. This meant she had some time before Wu Miao's incident.
She anxiously tried to call Wu Yu, but he didn't answer. A call to the Department of Physics of Haijiang University confirmed he was not on campus, as he had gone to see "someone who's very important to him." Moments later, Wu Yu appeared before her, and they embraced. Tan Jiao recounted her latest time-travel experience, identifying the black-clad man as Chen Xingjian.
She explained that in her memory fragments, he admitted to being the murderer of five girls, but they still lacked information on his whereabouts. Wu Yu shared his own recent time-jump, describing it as stepping into "another universe." Back at Tan Jiao’s house, they realized that with time reversing, they were now at "negative one year" in their relationship, jokingly meaning Wu Yu "owed" her a year.
Wu Yu confessed that he had written the mysterious note that led Tan Jiao to him, a fact he only understood after finding it in the basement himself. He also revealed that he had placed the life-saving first aid box there. They agreed that once they reached Jinghai, they must find a way to place the box in the basement of an abandoned warehouse, emphasizing its critical importance.
Wu Yu noticed his reflection on Tan Jiao's phone screen, which also displayed a rainbow. Tan Jiao admitted her love for rainbows, and Wu Yu, understanding her, led her to a nearby fountain. As the sunlight hit the water, a beautiful rainbow formed, making Tan Jiao declare that with Wu Yu and the rainbow, she had everything. Their tender moment was interrupted by a call from Tan Jiao's mother, who insisted she come home for a homemade meal.
Tan Jiao reluctantly brought Wu Yu, who pretended to be a regular customer. Her mother teased Tan Jiao for her aversion to spicy food, fearing she would be too soft for a husband, unlike her mother who "managed" Tan Jiao's father, a comment Tan Jiao quickly pointed out led to their divorce.
Noticing Tan Jiao's glances at Wu Yu, her mother praised Tan Jiao's taste and urged her to take a dish of fish to him, instructing her not to return without getting his contact information. Tan Jiao quietly explained her mother's eccentricities to Wu Yu, who reassured her that he understood and would always listen to her, despite her inability to eat spicy food, and that she shouldn't feel burdened. Later, Tan Jiao and Wu Yu discussed their strategy for Jinghai.
Wu Yu explained that their knowledge of the future was their greatest weapon, as they were the only ones aware of the culprit's plan. Their immediate goal was to save Xu Jingmiao, the next victim, who was killed between October 24th and 27th. Xu Jingmiao worked late shifts at a 24-hour bar, and the last time she was seen on camera was on the 24th, her body later discovered on the 27th.
They planned to search for her at her school, starting the next day. For now, Wu Yu decided to go home, expecting Wu Miao to be there, while Tan Jiao opted to stay with Zhuang Yu to give the siblings privacy.
Tan Jiao entrusted the first aid box to Zhuang Yu, providing her with the address of a deserted warehouse and instructing her to place the box in its underground basement before January of the following year, reiterating that their lives depended on it. Zhuang Yu's curiosity was piqued, and she asked about Tan Jiao's boyfriend. Tan Jiao openly spoke about her relationship, making Zhuang Yu envious and determined to find a boyfriend with eight-pack abs.
Tan Jiao proudly confirmed that Wu Yu possessed such abs, playfully adding that she wouldn't know about Zhuang Yu's future boyfriend. Meanwhile, back home, Wu Yu found Wu Miao with Zhu Yutong and was displeased, expressing his anger at Wu Miao for wandering off. Zhu Yutong quickly left, sensing the tension. Wu Miao, noticing her brother's low spirits, mistakenly assumed he had broken up with Tan Jiao and immediately offered to stay by his side.
Seeing this as an opportunity to ensure Wu Miao's safety, Wu Yu feigned heartbreak. He then messaged Tan Jiao while continuing his act with Wu Miao. Wu Miao, in turn, cancelled her plans with Zhu Yutong, promising to accompany Wu Yu, even insisting he drive her to school. The following morning, Wu Yu arrived at Zhuang Yu's house with an array of breakfast options, explaining he bought everything as he didn't know her preferences.
Zhuang Yu, who had just woken up and gone to the door without makeup, initially mistook Wu Yu for a delivery person. Upon realizing he was "the male lead," she comically rushed off to freshen up. Wu Yu informed Tan Jiao that he had already visited Xu Jingmiao's school, but as a local student whose practical courses had concluded, she was not there. He suggested they check the bar where she worked.
Tan Jiao, concerned by his tired appearance, made him promise to rest. Wu Yu confided in her, feeling that life had finally given him a "sweet," and expressed his hope for a future filled with sweetness for them both. He then agreed to a short five-minute nap. Later, as Tan Jiao and Wu Yu walked down the street, Tan Jiao optimistically mused that fate might lead them to Xu Jingmiao. Coincidentally, they soon encountered a girl arguing with a boy.
After Wu Yu intervened, the boy left, and the girl introduced herself as Xu Jingmiao. Tan Jiao was overjoyed by this stroke of luck, believing they could now capture the culprit. Xu Jingmiao invited them to "Nineteen," the bar where she worked, promising them drinks. Tan Jiao eagerly accepted, telling Wu Yu that this time, they would surely catch the culprit.
