My Fated Boy Episode 13 Recap
> My Fated Boy Recap
Reflecting on his childhood, Lu Zhengan recalled how his first pet, watch, electric car, camera, and even his first lost tooth were all buried under a tree he shared with Lin Yang. He now understood that those "firsts" only took root and blossomed because she was there. On a Wednesday, Cao Ling persuaded a reluctant Lin Yang to attend a social mixer. There, Lin Yang ran into Li Tian and Xie Nanke.
When Xie Nanke invited her to dinner, she declined, citing other plans. Li Tian, noticing the way Xie Nanke looked at Lin Yang, remarked it was the same uncontrolled gaze she had for Lu Zhengan. She encouraged Xie Nanke to pursue Lin Yang, warning that at their age, they couldn't afford to wait for fate, or they might even miss out on a late-life romance. Meanwhile, a Mr. Zhao arranged a dinner date with Lin Yang for the next day.
Lu Zhengan watched from the street as Lin Yang returned home. Back in her apartment, Lin Yang felt as if he had taken nothing, yet had taken everything, realizing she was experiencing heartbreak once more. At work, Mr. Hua noticed Lin Yang's recent timidity and encouraged her. Lin Yang agreed to let Li Tian return to the company, but not as her assistant, feeling she could no longer manage her.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhengan threw himself into work, spending seventeen hours straight in the recording studio. Ma Le, believing a clean break would be better for Lu Zhengan's career, decided to add fuel to the fire and escalate their conflict. Xie Nanke arrived at Ruiye to attend a meeting on Lu Zhengan's behalf. During the meeting, Cao Ling and Yao Dan's differing views on relationships became apparent.
Cao Ling argued that for marriage, compatibility is more important than fleeting feelings, and that love isn't a prerequisite for happiness—a sentiment that shocked Yao Dan. Afterward, Xie Nanke offered to drive Lin Yang to her evening appointment. A message from Li Tian about Xie Nanke and Lin Yang having dinner sent Lu Zhengan into a panic, and he immediately called Lin Yang.
He claimed he couldn't find his keys to pack his things, but she recognized it as a flimsy excuse. Agitated, Lin Yang told him she was on her way to a date and to stop bothering her. After the call, she vented to Xie Nanke about the "clingy child," which prompted Xie Nanke to suddenly stop the car, confess his own long-held feelings, and ask for a chance to take care of her.
Lin Yang gently rejected him, explaining that life doesn't offer many second chances and that the past is in the past. When he asked if her refusal was because of Lu Zhengan, she insisted it was not, but simply that she no longer loved him. He apologized for his past cowardice and gave her a gift before she departed.
Instead of going on her date with Mr. Zhao, Lin Yang took a taxi home, where she found a miserable Lu Zhengan squatting by her door. He hugged her and tearfully retracted his love confession, dismissing it as a childish prank he would never repeat. While calling him childish, Lin Yang gently touched his head but remained firm, stating she had no reason to house him anymore.
Lu Zhengan refused to leave, vowing to move out only when she found a boyfriend, prompting her to retort, "How can I find one if you won't leave?" Lu Zhengan finally packed his belongings and moved out, messaging Lin Yang to dispose of anything left behind. He took his suitcase to the restaurant he and Lin Yang had visited.
When the proprietress mentioned that Lin Yang had told her he wasn't her brother, Lu Zhengan corrected her, asserting, "She's my wife." Li Tian returned to work at Ruiye, now positioned at the front desk, much to the surprise of Yao Dan and Bai Luo Cheng. Lin Yang informed Yao Dan that Lu Zhengan had moved out and warned her to stop interfering, or she would be cut off from Lin Yang's personal life entirely.
Lu Zhengan was found sleeping at the office. Ma Le told him to rest, but Lu Zhengan insisted on going to the promo video review. He brushed past Lin Yang at the entrance with an air of defiance. During the review, the client felt Lu Zhengan's performance lacked a certain "desire." Lin Yang, conversely, found the video "heart-thumping" and full of "impulse" and "desire." The client suggested refinements, including the use of more panoramic shots to enrich the final cut.
