My Deepest Dream Episode 7 Recap
> My Deepest Dream Recap
Tan Jiao was heartbroken by Wu Yu's departure, with tears silently falling. She tried to encourage herself, affirming that she was the best and shouldn't be sad if Wu Yu had to leave. Yet, her tears continued to stream down as memories of their encounters flooded her mind. She realized the most painful truth was that he was the dark cloud and she the bright moon; the cloud met the moon, but when the cloud dispersed, the moon knew nothing.
Months passed without any news from Wu Yu, and Tan Jiao continued to grieve. Her friend Zhuang Yu tried to comfort her, insisting that since the universe had brought them together repeatedly, there must be a strong, invisible attraction between them, like quantum entanglement. Zhuang Yu was confident they would meet again and suggested Tan Jiao write a new serialized novel about her feelings, believing that Wu Yu might return once she finished it.
Slowly, Tan Jiao started to smile, unaware that someone was watching them from a distance, also with a faint smile. Zhuang Yu then realized she had feelings for Shen Shiyan. She messaged Tan Jiao to confirm that their past connection was truly over. Tan Jiao dismissed Shen Shiyan as an "old cadre" whose cold jokes were like listening to a boring report. She declared that anyone who wanted him could have him, much to Zhuang Yu's delight.
The next day, Zhuang Yu went to a reunion, only to find that just one male classmate had invited her. As she was about to leave, she noticed Shen Shiyan on a blind date. She decided to sit down and eavesdrop. Shen Shiyan attempted to tell his date a "Mr. Ten Yuan" joke, but the woman interrupted, apologizing. She explained she already had a boyfriend whom her mother disapproved of, and she was forced into this blind date.
She asked Shen Shiyan to tell the middleman that he wasn't interested in her, to help her explain to her mother, and Shen Shiyan agreed. Zhuang Yu sent her classmate away to continue listening to Shen Shiyan's conversation. Suddenly, a man in the restaurant started assaulting a woman. Zhuang Yu stood up to defend the woman, but the man threatened her with a wine bottle. Her classmate, witnessing this, hid in fear.
Instead, Shen Shiyan intervened, apprehending the drunk man and taking him to the police station. Zhuang Yu proudly revealed Shen Shiyan's identity as a third-level superintendent of the Municipal Criminal Police Force and accompanied him to the station. Later, as Shen Shiyan left work, he found Zhuang Yu waiting outside, swatting mosquitoes. He smiled, and they decided to go for hotpot. Shen Shiyan asked Zhuang Yu about her ideal type of man.
She described a composed, rational, mature yet slightly childish man, adding that it would be even better if he wore a uniform. Shen Shiyan diligently took notes, then realized he was acting as if he were interrogating a suspect, and they both laughed. Meanwhile, Tan Jiao, engrossed in her writing, discovered she was out of candy. She went out to buy some, answering fan comments on her phone, oblivious to someone following her.
As the mysterious person closed in, Wu Yu suddenly appeared opposite her. The man lunged for Tan Jiao, but Wu Yu quickly pulled her into his embrace. Their inadvertent collision resulted in a kiss, and they both tumbled into the water below. When Tan Jiao awoke, she found herself back on August 5th, 2021, the day she first met Wu Yu on the cruise ship.
Rushing out of her room, she bumped into Yan Yuan, which confirmed her sense of time. She hurried to the deck, where she indeed saw Wu Yu. Unsure if she was dreaming, she was then called by Wu Yu, who specifically asked about their meeting in 2022, confirming that they had both returned to the ship together. They urgently knocked on Wu Miao's cabin door. Wu Yu, seeing Wu Miao, embraced her tightly, overcome with emotion and tears.
He desperately warned her to stay home on November 5th, 2021, even setting a reminder on her phone. Wu Miao, however, refused, insisting she had birthday plans with friends. Tan Jiao then revealed her identity as the famous online writer Qizhu. Wu Miao was thrilled to meet her idol and eagerly requested an autograph.
Tan Jiao seized the opportunity to make Wu Miao promise to listen to her brother and not go out that day, which Wu Miao readily agreed to. Wu Yu expressed his hope that Tan Jiao would continue to help persuade Wu Miao in the future, as Wu Miao seemed to listen to her. He then recounted meeting Zhu Jirui when he had been planning to leave. Zhu Jirui, despite having no memory of the ship incident, gave him a photo.
This photo showed several people on a small boat, including Tan Jiao, Yan Yuan, and Zhu Jirui. Wu Yu explained that everyone else in the photo was now dead, including Wu Miao, Professor Chen and his family, and a young boy named Zhu Yutong, who all died in accidents within a year of disembarking.
Realizing they were back on the ship, they believed they could change the future by preventing Zhu Jirui and Yan Yuan from meeting, thereby averting the Zhu family's tragedy. Tan Jiao remembered that Zhu Jirui had said she and Yan Yuan met on the second day after the ship departed, which was tomorrow. They planned to meet early the next morning to stop them.
That evening, Wu Yu went to the cruise lobby, intending to prevent Zhu Jirui and Yan Yuan from meeting. Instead, he unexpectedly saw his Professor, his mentor who had helped him greatly. Wu Yu embraced his Professor with tears in his eyes. Observing Wu Yu's somber mood, Mrs. Chen took their daughter to wander elsewhere, giving Wu Yu space to speak. Wu Yu then told his Professor that he had, through an unexplained circumstance, experienced the future and seen that his Professor's family would face a tragedy six months later.
