My Lonely Planet Episode 22 Recap
> My Lonely Planet Recap
Li Zhizhi carefully placed the cheapest flower she had ever received into water, nurturing it. Meanwhile, Qin Sirui looked at a Napoleon cake, remembering his time with Li Zhizhi and smiling softly. He once demonstrated to her how to eat the cake gracefully, a task she found impossible. On Valentine's Day, Bi Guan and Ling Sansan enjoyed a candlelight dinner, celebrating their first Valentine's Day as a couple, their first as a married pair, and their last before becoming parents.
When Sansan presented him with a pregnancy test, Bi Guan was overwhelmed, unsure how to react. After spending an hour in a daze at the observatory, Miao Yu's timely reminder prompted him to rush home and declare his feelings to Sansan. Initially thinking Bi Guan didn't want the baby, Sansan was overjoyed by his sudden heartfelt confession, where he likened his life before her to the universe's gestation period and her to the moment of its flourishing.
Upon hearing the news, Miao Yu was also surprised and happy for them. At home, Hao Feng was watching an interview with Wang Chen when his wife entered. To undermine Wang Chen, she hired people to post online, falsely accusing Wang Chen of being a mistress. The post, despite lacking concrete evidence, quickly incited public outrage and calls to boycott Fluffeee.
Hao Feng's wife openly admitted to him that she orchestrated the attack because she didn't want to see Wang Chen happy or pretending to be a "start-up rookie." Hao Feng insincerely praised his wife's "wise and witty" decision, feigning disinterest in Wang Chen's troubles. Miao Yu reassured Wang Chen, promising they would find a solution together. Coli was also implicated in the online attacks, with many assuming she had been paid to promote a "mistress," thus lacking integrity.
After she attempted to directly confront some netizens, her personal information was leaked, revealing her real name, Qian Laidi, and her rural background. She was ridiculed and criticized, with people focusing solely on her "ugly" name and origins rather than her professional achievements. Disheartened, Coli announced an indefinite collective vacation for her team, with full pay, stating she needed time to consider if she still wanted to continue in the industry. Her team members were worried about the company’s future.
A woman suddenly stormed into Fluffeee, splashing water on Wang Chen's face. Ken intervened, leading to a physical altercation that ended with both at the police station. The incident further amplified the negative public sentiment. While there, the officer criticized the woman for her vigilante actions and Ken for escalating the situation, eventually asking them to sign papers and hug as a settlement.
When both refused to hug the other, the Fluffeee team members, one by one, offered to hug the woman on Ken’s behalf, showcasing their unity. The officer, impressed, allowed them to leave without the hug. Acknowledging the severity of the situation, Miao Yu decided to publicly confront the cyberbullying on Weibo, despite Mr. Yu's concerns about the strategy. Miao Yu argued that someone needed to stand up and call out the online mob, stating, "This is violence, not justice."
Mr. Yu then suggested that Miao Yu replace Wang Chen as the designer to mitigate the crisis. Miao Yu, however, firmly refused, explaining that Wang Chen had brought him not just the Fluffeee brand, but "another kind of life," and he would not abandon her or the brand. Mr. Yu, emphasizing that "capital is profit-oriented" and "success or failure is very important," consequently withdrew his investment.
On her way home, Li Zhizhi was intercepted by Ray's mother, who invited her to dinner. At the restaurant, Ray's mother had intentionally invited Lena, Ray's childhood friend, to join them. Together, they subtly mocked Li Zhizhi, accusing her of trying to "marry into a wealthy family." Li Zhizhi, known for not tolerating disrespect, calmly listened as Lena questioned if she could afford a new bag if hers got dirty.
In response, Li Zhizhi provocatively dropped her sheepskin bag into the hotpot. She then countered Ray's mother's condescending remarks, asserting that Ray's mother was the biggest "shortcoming" in her son's life and that she had no interest in him. To emphasize her point, Li Zhizhi deleted Ray's WeChat contact right in front of them before departing, leaving Ray's mother shocked and muttering about her son's choice of "tigress" girlfriends. With Mr. Yu's withdrawal, Fluffeee was in a precarious financial situation.
To alleviate Wang Chen's anxiety, Miao Yu took her to watch the sunrise at a park. There, he presented her with a customized necklace resembling Lady Meow. As the sun rose, Wang Chen made a wish for Fluffeee to thrive. They discussed the impending comet collision with Jupiter on March 21, which would return everyone to their original selves. Both Miao Yu and Wang Chen expressed confidence that even if they reverted, their feelings for each other would endure.
Miao Yu playfully asked Wang Chen to pick his clothes for the future, certain she wouldn't dislike him, while Wang Chen confirmed her continued affection for him, even if his taste changed. The financial strain intensified, with Fluffeee having no income for half a month. Their hopes for recovery hinged on the upcoming Fashion Week, but Ken received a call from the organizer informing them that Fluffeee's participation had been canceled due to a joint boycott by netizens.
The team suspected Hao Feng was orchestrating the negative public opinion. Despite the setbacks, Miao Yu encouraged his team, reminding them that "as long as the team is here, hope is here," while ensuring their salaries were paid. Wang Chen then prepared to meet Sansan, who had something to discuss with her.
