My Fated Boy Episode 28 Recap
> My Fated Boy Recap
When Lu Zhengan was fifteen, his father took him back to their old neighborhood. Eagerly, Lu Zhengan rushed to Lin Yang's house upon arrival, only to learn she was out with classmates. Lu Zhengan's mother couldn't join that evening due to a busy restaurant. The three parents—Lu Zhengan's father and Lin Yang's parents—gathered, reminiscing about a long-standing joke they had shared: if they had a boy and a girl, they would set them up.
Lin Yang's mother had taken this idea quite seriously, especially when Lin Yang was four. They found the gender was right but the birth order was reversed. They lamented the missed opportunity, with Lin Yang's father expressing regret over the "lost son-in-law." Later, Lu Zhengan waited outside for Lin Yang. When she returned home, shyly accompanied by a boy, Lu Zhengan immediately emerged and called out "Wifey!"
In a voiceover, Lu Zhengan explained that this act not only ruined what was believed to be Lin Yang's first love but also successfully prevented any further puppy loves. From that day on, he began calling her "Wifey," believing it would ensure no one could ever take her away from him. Some time later, Lin Yang, heavily disguised, left her home.
Her mother called, pressing for an update on her and Lu Zhengan's relationship and stressing that time waits for no one. Lin Yang quickly hung up, only for Xie Nanke to appear moments later. The two went to a cafe, where Lin Yang expressed relief to finally be out, feeling so suffocated from being home that she felt "pregnant."
She confided in Xie Nanke that she had mistakenly thought she enjoyed being alone but now realized she was merely used to it. Lin Yang then vented her frustrations about being thrust into the public eye, losing projects, and enduring online criticism. She insisted that only a "mature woman" like her, who had weathered great storms, could handle such pressure. Xie Nanke admired her, acknowledging her significant sacrifices. Lin Yang, however, countered that she had "gained more than I lost."
As Xie Nanke left for a client meeting, Lin Yang's plans were upended by a call from Bai Luocheng, who excitedly informed her that the famous idol Xi Song, reportedly a friend of Lu Zhengan's, was at a rehearsal for an upcoming event. Lin Yang immediately demanded the address. Meanwhile, Lu Zhengan saw Bai Luocheng waiting for Lin Yang and assumed she was preparing a surprise for him.
His face fell when Bai Luocheng revealed Lin Yang was coming to see Xi Song, making Lu Zhengan feel he was in trouble. Across town, Cao Ling's ex-husband, Xiao Zhe, caused a commotion at the company, loudly demanding to see her. Having been warned by Li Tian, Yao Dan tried to lead him away but they ran into Cao Ling herself. Lin Yang, hearing that Xiao Zhe was at the office, instructed her driver to turn back.
Xiao Zhe was there to demand money, but Cao Ling, no longer afraid, boldly announced her past marriage and child to her colleagues. She reminded him that she owed him nothing, as he had borrowed 350,000 yuan from her since their divorce. Yao Dan added that Xiao Zhe had also taken 20,000 yuan from Lin Yang. Enraged, Cao Ling slapped Xiao Zhe. When he lunged at her, colleagues intervened.
Cao Ling stared him down, chillingly warning him never to harass her again: "I've died once, so you'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, I'll die with you." Lin Yang arrived just as the chaotic scene ended. Cao Ling thanked her and Yao Dan for their support and showed them her new phone wallpaper: a photo of her and her daughter, Tong Tong.
Cao Ling explained she was tired of pretending and hiding for her daughter's sake; she now realized she needed to be a strong role model and live as her daughter's entire world. Upon hearing Lin Yang was heading to see Xi Song, Yao Dan and Cao Ling abandoned their work and frantically rushed to join her. At the venue, Lu Zhengan desperately stalled Xi Song, insisting the "finale" could wait.
When the three women finally arrived, Lu Zhengan stepped forward to greet them, but they completely ignored him, rushing straight to Xi Song. They showered the idol with compliments, requested tour tickets, and eagerly posed for a group photo, which a good-humored Lu Zhengan helped them take. Only after their fan moment was over did Xi Song finally get to leave for his flight.
On the way home, a thrilled Lin Yang relentlessly questioned Lu Zhengan about how he knew Xi Song. He explained they were both from Qiuyin Town and were both so outstanding in the music field that it was natural for them to know each other. Admitting to being a "fangirl" at heart, Lin Yang joked that this was precisely why she was so drawn to him.
She then clarified that her excitement wasn't just about meeting an idol, but about the profound realization that at her age, she could still feel the heart-throbbing excitement of a young girl. Lu Zhengan proudly claimed credit, stating he was the one who "spoiled her into a little girl." He then announced he was going home with her, confessing he had missed her too much to be apart any longer.
Once home, after showering, Lu Zhengan gently pulled a stray hair from Lin Yang's head. Seeing it was a gray hair, Lin Yang burst into tears. A flustered Lu Zhengan desperately tried to comfort her, promising to do anything, even dye his own hair white, if she would stop crying. Lin Yang immediately seized the opportunity and demanded he call her "sister."
When he hesitated, she threatened to cry again, so he swiftly scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom. There, Lin Yang confessed her anxieties: she would get gray hair and wrinkles before him, might develop dementia and forget him, and would likely pass away first. Lu Zhengan gently confirmed she already had wrinkles, and explained he had "no choice" but to love her, because "you happen to be the one who's older."
He promised that if she ever forgot him, he would simply court her all over again, and if she went to heaven before him, he would find her there to tell her everything she missed. He vowed to always stay with her. Then, he softly called her "Sister." Lin Yang remarked that their story was so sweet, it must be leading to hardship, as is common in dramas. Lu Zhengan countered that they would defy such tropes. He concluded, "From the moment my heart first stirred to when my temples turn gray, it will always be you. Thank God it's you. I love you."
